Kamala Harris baffled audience with a story about her mother and Playboy
At the Australian Real Estate Conference, Harris shared a quirky anecdote about her mother’s views on women’s health.
She explained how her mother joked about the purpose of Playboy magazine covers.
Harris claimed that they they were designed “for the perpetuation of the human species.”
Harris laughed during the story, while co-host John McGrath praised her mother as “a great lady.”
She said: ‘My mother was actually very funny because she would say, “You look at the cover of Playboy magazine, let me just tell you, the reason that people are looking at these things, understand what they were developed for the perpetuation of the human species!” She was very practical that way.’
This odd tale left many attendees puzzled but amused.
Harris delievered a confusing word salad when asked about humility
When questioned about humility, Harris’s response was lengthy and convoluted.
She said she did not aspire to be humble, calling such aspiration “inauthentic.”
She spoke about the awe-inspiring nature of people’s struggles and dreams. She emphasized how listening to others reveals “the beauty of the human spirit.”
‘I don’t aspire to be humble. And I don’t recommend it, I think that one must be humble. But to aspire to be humble would be quite inauthentic,’ she said.
‘If one understands that, just, I mean, there’s so much that is magnificent and awe-inspiring about this world and its people.
‘And when you take the moment to just listen to an individual’s story, whether it’s someone you’re sitting next to on the plane or standing in line with at the grocery store, there is so much about this world that we know and we don’t know.
‘And that is very humbling to realize the dreams that people have, the struggles that they’ve overcome and the magnificence of that. To realize the beauty of the human spirit, that we are by nature, I think, as a species, we don’t give up.’
Her message intertwined humility with ambition, highlighting the importance of hard work and respect.
Kamala Harris praised ambition while reflecting on human resilence
Harris stressed that ambition is vital to survival and praised it as a positive force.
Additionally, she also encouraged people to “reach” while understanding their context and respecting others.
Her remarks echoed previous political speeches, including phrases like being “unburdened by what has been” and the need to “speak truth.”
Harris framed struggles for equality as fights “for something” rather than “against something.”
‘I think it’s very important to understand that people who fight for equality, fight for freedom, they see what can be and are unburdened by what has been they believe in what is possible. So even though it may be characterized as a fight, it really is it should I think be thought of in the context of a fight for something as opposed to against something,’ she said.
