Harris: Open Justice data showed African Americans were 25% of in-custody deaths
“With open justice, we found African Americans are six percent of California's population, and we're almost 25% of in custody deaths.”
Harris: U.S. must pass comprehensive immigration reform and fix H-1B visas
“I strongly believe we have to not vilify this community, and we need to pass comprehensive immigration reform. We need to deal with H-I-B visas.”
Harris: Government must resist fear-driven reflexive regulation of new tech
“I understand that government sometimes, when presented with something that is new and is, is not known, can respond in a way with fear and wants to just regulate and shut it down. And knowing that as a public servant, I always wanted to cause us to pause and n…”
Harris: Co-sponsoring federal legislation to criminalize cyber exploitation
“With industry, we came up with policies, and right now I'm sponsoring, co-sponsoring legislation to make cyber exploitation a crime, a federal crime because we just need to deal with it.”
Harris: Prevention is more efficient than reactive enforcement
“You want to deal with an epidemic, be it health or crime, smartest, most effective and efficient way to deal with it is prevention first. If we're dealing with it in the emergency room or the prison system, far too late and much too expensive. It is not effici…”
Harris: Government lacks the skill set and culture to analyze data
“Government does not have the skill set, the culture, or the bandwidth to necessarily analyze this data.”

Harris: California AG office prosecuted the first cyber exploitation case
“So I actually, through my office, through the AG's office, prosecuted the first case, the Bollert case.”
Harris: Negotiating mobile privacy standards with tech platforms avoided regulation
“Over the course of six months, we worked out, I think, an all too rare example of government and industry coming together to solve a problem. Short of regulation or litigation or legislation. And what we did is we came up with an understanding that would, that…”

Statements about Kamala Harris, by other people (75)
Thiel claims Kamala Harris will win a close election by cheating
“If it's like going to be a razor thin close election, then I'm pretty sure Kamala will win because they will cheat. They will fortify it. They will steal the ballots.”
Shapiro says he withdrew from VP consideration 48 hours before Walz selection
“And about 48 hours before she picked Tim Walz, I pulled out and made clear that that was not something I was interested in doing.”
Keith Rabois claims Jerome Powell lowered interest rates to help Kamala Harris
“I think he has Trump derangement syndrome. He just hates Trump. That's why he artificially lowered rates to try to get Kamala elected. It is indefensible cutting 50 basis points off in, you know, last fall.”
Megyn Kelly: Kamala Harris is not smart or a deep thinker
“I really think the problem for Kamala Harris is she's not smart, she's not a deep thinker, She's very surface level.”
Carolla: Eric Swalwell, Kamala Harris, and Karen Bass are intellectual "dopes"
“Eric Swallow is a dope. Kamala Harris is a dope. Karen Bass is a dope. These are dumb people who shouldn't be in charge of things because they don't have the intellectual capacity for it.”
Ro Khanna says Kamala Harris should have admitted border policy mistakes
“I think that should have been Vice President Harris's answer of what she would have done differently. And she could have even said, I learned we made a mistake. We didn't have the right approach on, on border security.”
Friedberg: Kamala Harris will soon look like a conservative candidate
“I think we'll look back and I jokingly say that Kamala Harris is going to look like a conservative candidate pretty soon.”
Cuban: Kamala Harris's shift to the political middle is genuine
“She wants to bring the country to the middle. She knows that when she was far left, that might have been great for the state of California, but it doesn't solve the problems of the United States of America today, and that's why you've seen her go to the middle…”
Lonsdale: Harris-Warren price gouging proposal covers 23,000 large companies
“Well, if you look at the price gouging law that Kamala Harris and Senator Warren and all these people on the very extreme left were putting forward, it's actually something that applies to about 23,000 big companies, and it would give them a lot of arbitrary p…”
Sacks: ABC News coverage was 100% positive for Harris, 93% negative for Trump
“And if you look at like, for example, ABC news, 100% of the coverage by ABC news is positive. Whereas something like 93% of their coverage on Trump is negative.”
Megyn Kelly notes that primary voters did not elect Kamala Harris
“Literally nobody's voted for her to be the nominee.”
Vance: Biden and Harris opened southern border via executive orders

Sacks: Vladimir Putin publicly announced an endorsement of Kamala Harris
“Putin just came out today and announced his endorsement of Kamala Harris.”
Sacks: Kamala Harris would continue Biden-Warren economic policies if elected
“She's gonna say whatever is necessary to win the election, but you're a fool and kidding yourself if you think you're gonna get something really different after the election. You're gonna get a continuation of the Biden, Harris, Elizabeth Warren economic progr…”
Sachs: Kamala Harris' proposed capital gains taxes would devastate startups
“She wants, and her campaign has confirmed, she wants a 44% capital gains tax. She wants a 25% unrealized gains tax. These are things that I think the vast majority of Silicon Valley considers to be disastrous for the startup ecosystem.”
Chamath: Harris will win popular vote but lose Electoral College without key stances
“And in the absence of her defining herself on those four or five issues, she's not going to win. She'll win the popular vote, but again, when people win the popular vote and lose the electoral college, we've now gone through that enough times where that's just…”
Sacks: Harris's campaign strategy will fall apart before Election Day
“I just think that at some point over the next hundred days, that approach is just gonna fall apart. She's gonna have to do a debate. She's gonna have to answer questions. At that point, I think the bloom will come off the rose a little bit here, and you'll see…”
Sacks: Kamala Harris is the only candidate option if Biden exits
“We are gonna get President Kamala Harris. She's the only alternative.”
Calacanis: The Democratic Party sidelined Kamala Harris due to a lack of faith
“The biggest political surprise was Kamala Harris being sidelined. Where is she? What is she working on? I thought that the democratic party was going to want to feature her showcase her with some great projects in order to maybe prep her for running if need be…”
Sacks: A Harris administration would have blocked data centers and enforced censorship
“Would have no data centers and they'd be using AI to censor us and they'd be promoting DEI values through AI that was in the Biden executive order.”
Buttigieg: An open primary would have sharpened Kamala Harris for the general
“I mean, if she had become the nominee by prevailing over another half dozen people who wanted a shot, Presumably that kind of sharpening that, that happens would have served her well in the general.”
Mark Cuban says Trump mastered algorithms while Democrats lack effective salespeople
“What Trump has done well is learn how to flood the zone so that no matter what that algorithm finds for you, he's gonna find a way to you. Whether it's a positive or negative and then you look at Kamala and Brat Summer and, you know, fell off a coconut tree. S…”
Andreessen: Harris campaign staff regret avoiding long-form podcasts in 2024
“The books are coming out now on the 20, 24 campaign and it's becoming clearer and clearer. Like all the Kamala people now greatly regret that they didn't put her on, on more long form podcasts.”
Sacks: Kamala Harris might have escalated the conflict with Iran as president
“Imagine if Kamala Harris were president, just do the counterfactual. Would she have had the situational awareness to realize that when the Iranians struck at our base in Qatar, that it was performative, that it was telegraphed, and that it was meant to basical…”
