They contrast Trump's raw political talent and charisma with what they see as Kamala Harris's lack of discernible intellect, crediting her rise instead to ruthless ambition, before Joe closes by thanking Tim for the special.

In this bit6 moments
  • The documentary leaves out the ruthlessness part of how political success actually works.
  • Kamala Harris is ruthless and incredibly ambitious, which is impressive given how far she got with very little.
  • Harris didn't display any discernible intellect you'd expect from a presidential candidate—she was fine as a lawyer or midlevel manager.
  • Trump has instincts and political talent that are unmatched; he speaks extemporaneously for hours and understands human nature in ways Harris doesn't.
  • Harris was an incredibly average, mediocre politician who could have stopped at DA of San Francisco, but her proximity to the presidency proves she's a ruthless operator.
  • If you want to succeed in that business, you have to be ruthless and ambitious—same as making TikTok songs at Costco.
