I have never been a Howard Stern fan, to put it mildly. The pioneering “shock jock” is a disgusting pig who has built a depressingly lucrative career out of exploiting the basest human behavior and dragging our culture into the gutter. But his Tuesday interview with epically incompetent presidential wannabe Kamala Harris shows just how fully “edgy,” envelope-pushing influencers become shameless sycophants for the establishment when the reigning regime is Left-wing.
It’s no surprise that Kamala chose to appear on Stern’s Sirius XM radio show. Her campaign strategy has been to avoid, as much as humanly possible, interviews with news outlets where she might be treated with anything less than boot-licking adoration. Hence, for example, her recent appearance on the ABC daytime gabfest The View, where she was introduced by ranting progressive idiot Whoopi Goldberg as “our next President.”
Stern is avowedly anti-Trump, although he claims not to hate the former President. “I don’t hate Trump. I hate the people who vote for him. I think they are stupid. I do. I have no respect for them.” He added that if half of his viewers disagree with his opinion about Trump voters, they should stop listening to his radio show: “I’m at the end of my career, so fuck you and listen to another station if you don’t like my views [on Trump].”
After all, as Stern explained last November, he takes being called “woke” as a compliment: “To me, the opposite of woke is being asleep. And if woke means I can’t get behind Trump, which is what I think it means, or that I support people who want to be transgender, or I’m for the vaccine, dude, call me woke as you fucking want. I am a woke motherfucker, and I love it.”
As definitive evidence he suffers from the rampant Trump Derangement Syndrome that has afflicted so many of his fellow progressives, Stern has fully bought into the progressive hysteria that Trump is Hitler 2.0, as in this very scholarly assessment: “Hitler was perceived as a clown in Germany [like Trump in the US]. He was one of these buffoonish characters. Then he won an election. And that was the end of Germany.”
This is the media host Kamala Harris chose to let the American people learn more about her as she seeks our vote for the Leader of the Free World. And this, as New York Times columnist Michelle Cottle neatly summed up, is what we found out from the hour-long interview:
[T]hat the V.P. isn’t a napper; that she digs Doritos and jigsaw puzzles; that her favorite F1 driver is Lewis Hamilton; that she went to see U2 at the Sphere; and that a rare area of musical agreement between her and Doug, her husband, is their love of Prince.
Exactly what inquiring American minds want to know.
Stern launched hard-hitting questions right out of the gate, beginning by marveling at Harris’ schedule and asking if she ever naps. He moved on to complain about a recent Saturday Night Live episode in which Kamala was imitated by comedienne Maya Rudolph, because when it comes to mockery, Democrat totalitarians can dish it out but they can’t take it. “I hate it. I don’t want you being made fun of,” Stern told the VP. “There’s too much at stake. I believe the entire future of this country right now… it’s literally on the line.”
In all fairness, Stern is right about the stakes involved, although not for the reason he thinks. The threat to the future of this country is the Party represented by the woman sitting right across from him.
But TDS sufferer Stern fretted that the real totalitarian is Trump. When Kamala fear-mongered about Trump’s joke that he would be a dictator on day one of his presidency, and suggested that Trump would start jailing journalists critical of him, Stern added that comedians are at risk too.
“He said he thinks he wants to go after Jimmy Kimmel, a comedian,” Stern panicked. “You want to go after Stephen Colbert and Seth Meyers? What?” Apparently neither Kamala nor Stern are aware that Trump has already been POTUS for a full term and never “went after” journalists, comedians, or even moronic shock jocks.
Later in the conversation, Stern claimed Trump would ban “gay rights next,” and Harris agreed, of course. Again: Trump was already president and made no effort to ban gay rights. If anything, Trump has been one of the friendliest Republican politicians to the LGBT community. Perhaps Stern was referring to Trump’s promise that he would put a stop to sex change surgeries for minors without parental consent. Perhaps he meant Trump’s support for keeping men out of women’s sports. Are those the “gay rights” Stern is worried about losing?
Stern then went full TDS-unhinged, asking Kamala if she would feel safe in this country in the event of a Trump victory. “Would you stay in this country?” he asked, ludicrously. At one point, Stern sank to a Keith Olbermann-level of unhinged, declaring that “the sun’s literally going to go out” if Trump is re-elected. He told Harris, rather unnecessarily, “And yes, I’m voting for you.”
The interview, if you can call it that, was so fawning that even the New York Times (!) called Stern out for it. Aforementioned columnist Michelle Cottle wrote that the Democrat nominee spent an “hour in the warm embrace” of a gushing fan who was “a little too openly butt-smoochy for my taste, but I like a little more spice in my political interviews.”
Well, Americans would like a little more substance, if not spice, in their political interviews, and that was completely lacking in the full hour everyone wasted listening to Howard Stern’s obsequious love-fest – just as it’s lacking in candidate Kamala Harris herself.

Typical Liberal Celeberty always supporting the Demo-Rats everytime
Many years ago I used to watch Stern’s T.V. show and he liked to say he was “playing with himself under the table” whenever he had strippers, porn stars or pretty much any woman on his show. A good question for him today would be whether he was doing that when he interviewed Kamala.
He was only in it for the money to b gin with
“Shock Jocks” are out now. “Fag Hags” are in.

“The Critic” got him good decades ago. …
So cool ! that says it all – slut whore of Babylon Cackling Kamalalala feels right at home with the slimy disgusting Howard Stern, yet another self loathing Jew – he made his billions going into satellite radio – his decades long misogyny against his female host a black woman has not got him cancelled, or protests by the lunatic fringe
Tampon Timbecile Awolz has been diagnosed bipolar.
That diagnosis explains it – Tampon Timbecile Awolz says he’s a knucklehead –
We now know he is a bipolar knucklehead – so who are the knuckleheads with this information that will vote for this very dangerous bipolar imbecile knucklehead to be second in line after the POTUS? They must be bipolar themselves – indeed the screaming lunatic fringe that has become unhinged from The View to HellyWierd celebs, to those who vandalize and protest against the USA, Israel and are antisemitic with TDS (Trump Derangement Syndrome) are bipolar – nay – they and Cackling Kamalalala,, ampon Timbecile Awolz and the entire swamp are demonic possessed!
Why anyone would have any interest in the opinions of this lowbrow mutt is unfathomable to me. Only in America…….
TDS and Howard Stern appeals to the lowest common denominator –
The fact that Stern, the great American potty-mouth, is for Kamala should tell you everything you need to know about Harris supporters. And the fact that Harris was on his show tells you everything you need to know about Harris’ depth. Not to mention her political acumen…
I liked Stern better when he was just another media a-hole. But at least he was honest about it. Now he’s as dishonest as his fellow wokies, unwilling or unaware of who they are and what they’re really about. There can be no question as to where the real stupidity lies.
Time magazine did at least two hit pieces on Rush Limbaugh back in the day.
One Time cover was a 3rd-grade illustration that showed Rush & Stern together. Stern was a used as a guilt by association prop. (It was the only thing the lecher was good for.)
Now the left has two people they’ve decided are no longer evil; Howard Stern & Dick Cheney.
(It’s amazing how easily the left welcomes in anyone who sells out.)
All of this series of comments points to the likelihood that people with good memories usually end up conservative, while those who sound byte to sound byte and slogan to slogan end up as old fool liberals.
We have gone from QUESTION AUTHORITY to GET WITH THE PROGRAM, and from FREE LOVE to SOCIAL DISTANCING, and the ones who want to keep current as the grow older do not grow any wiser.
Really? I tried listening to Howard Stern 2 or 3 times many ago. He came across as a boorish lowbrow fool with the mindset of a teenage boy.
I fail to understand the interest in the thoughts and antics of someone who is clearly afflicted with Peter Pan Syndrome.
Alas, MSNBC and CNN has an audience for their tripe so what do I know?
Romans 1:28 “and even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a debased mind, to do those things which are not fitting.”
Howard, Commie-la – the scriptures were talking about you 2000 years before you were born.
Oh brother! The religious mind! The fire and brimstone mind!
The infantilism and idiocy of Howard Stern hardly merits anything so tremendous as the attention or the wrath of God.
I would think God would have better, more interesting, and more urgent things to do.
You no more know the workings of God than you do your own.
In case you didn’t know, God can actually be a multi-tasker, unlike you who is stuck on your own perceived superiority and ego-mania, altruism and your own religious bigotry.
Very nicely done.
You seem to be missing on vital life information – Howard Stern is a symptom of the mental illness of turning away from YHVH and YESHUA MESSIAH – voting demonKKKrats today is another symptom of mental illness – being anti-Semitic another symptom -well to be fair, perhaps not mental illness but demonic possession — THX 1138 you are wrong and incorrect as wrong and incorrect can be – drink your morning coffee with your strudel — your caffeine and sugar rush high will leave you and deplete you – but this knowledge of and faith in YHVH and YESHUA MESSIAH sustains those who do know and by knowing, believe and get the blessings —
Therefore, Howard Stern, the View, main sleaze misinformation, propaganda, censorship media, HellyWeird celebs and whoever are in jeopardy of losing their eternal life
IT’S A ZAMBO. THE WORST POSSIBLE RACIAL COMBINATION. WITH A LOT OF MILK.
I’ll bet Artie Lange, Jackie Martling, Scott the Engineer, and Gary “Bababooeey” Dell’Abate are all voting for Trump in November.
Stern can’t save her, the crapocrats are going to burn in hard. Trump 2024
Trump once bragged on Howard Stern’s show about walking into the locker rooms of his beauty pageants so he could peep at changing teenaged contestants, so Stern has good reasons to dislike Trump. He’s too much of a creep even for him.
go back to your cry closet lii’ pajama boi and mommy will bring you a juice box right after she changes your pyss stained bed sheets, again.
If I may add to what you said: pajama boi should STFU and go back to his closet and eat his Skittles & Doritos and content himself to getting his jollies while being “catfished” at his favorite social media site.
A comment from a BROADcastor who hosted porn actors (female) doing each other and describing it.
I have only heard minutes of his “show.” Only in my bosses office. He listened to this Howard idiot every day. My boss was a smart guy. With dumb (my opinion) entertainment choices.
I cannot stand vulgar Howard I could care less what his opinions are.
More of the sloberfest over Harris. We are having national IQ test on November 5th. Good luck America.
Leftist cry-babies are always vowing to leave America if a Republican wins an election.
It’d be nice if for once they’d actually do it. (Doubtful it’ll happen, since leftists don’t keep promises.)
Howard Stern once had only one redeeming trait – that gov’t leave us alone.
Now the chicken Little fool wants big brother to force vaccines on the unwilling, otherwise, the sky falls on all of us.
(I did learn something from that interview; Howard’s I.Q. is on the same level as Kamala’s.)
I’ll buy the plane ticket (1-way) of the first leftist that actually does leave! It would be money well spent or put another way, it would be an investment in America’s future!
Number of voters won over by Kamala’s appearance with Stern: zero.
Stern mocks the alleged stupidity of Trump voters even as he parades his own stupidity. Intelligent people don’t lace their speech with profanity, don’t believe the nonsense that Trump is the new Hitler, and don’t support the madness, garishness, and anti-science that characterizes the trans movement. This is how the left captures intellectually insecure people: it convinces them that they are “smart” if they agree with the left’s policies, no matter how crazy they might be. And Howard, that hairstyle is so 1970’s – it’s time to move on.
I personally found his broadcasts and TV show to be too demeaning toward women for my tastes, so it’s ironic that Harris thinks she will make points by being interviewed by him. Further reason to vote Trump.
Howard Stern? Kamala Harris? Are you sure this is a TDS outbreak or not just another STD?
Never listened to “Streno” and it appears I didn’t miss much!
