I'm Jonathan Kapart and welcome to Kapart.

Of the three podcast interviews I've done with Kamala Harris,

it was our 2019 conversation about her book, The Truths We Hold,

that is my favorite. She was Senator Harris then and there was buzz that

she was going to run for president. She did, but she eventually became vice

president Harris when President Biden tapped her to be his running mate in the summer of 2020.

In this conversation first recorded before a live audience on January 9th, 2019 at George Washington University, you get to hear Vice President

Paris tell her life story from her activist parents and her years at Howard University to why she became a prosecutor

and how she met her husband Doug Emmoff. Today Vice President Harris is the

presumptive Democratic nominee for president and you will hear her in a new light.

And if you've paid even nominal attention to her

over the last four years,

you won't be surprised by what you hear.

Kamla Harris, the joyful warrior with laughs galore.

Senator Harris, thank you very much for being here, for choosing Washington to be the

kickoff of your book tour.

I'm going to focus on the truths we hold.

And I'm going to focus on something that happens before even page one.

And I want to clear it up for anyone who might have done this
