Howard Stern, Stephen Colbert, The View to Interview VP Kamala Harris

VP Kamala Harris willl be hitting the interview circuit this week, checking in with Howard Stern, Stephen Colbert, The View, and others.

Now that the U.S. is less than a month away from going to the voting booth to choose between democracy and a raging dumpster fire s**tshow, Vice-President Kamala Harris is ramping up her media push this week in some very interesting ways. Though things kick off with a 60 Minutes profile on Monday night (the one that Donald Trump's camp pulled their candidate out of for some reason), it's Tuesday that we're looking forward to the most. Along with a visit to ABC's The View and CBS's The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, VP Harris will join radio icon and SiriusXM host Howard Stern for a live, special edition of The Howard Stern Show at 1 pm ET on Stern's exclusive SiriusXM channel Howard 100. In addition, VP Harris will take part in a Univision town hall on Thursday and has recorded an interview with Alex Cooper for the Call Her Daddy podcast.

Howard Stern Has "No Respect" for "Stupid" Donald Trump Voters

"This whole idea of 'you like me, you are good, and if you don't, you are bad…' I've been the victim of this. I don't agree with [Donald] Trump politically; I don't think he should be anywhere near the White House. I don't hate the guy. I hate the people who vote for him. I think they're stupid. I do. I'll be honest with you; I have no respect for you." And with that, Stern made it crystal clear on his show last month what he thought of Trump and his followers. Though the growing animosity between them is nothing new (more on that in a minute), Stern raised the bar by focusing on those who worship Trump blindly while accusing Stern of being "woke," noting that he's fine with losing "half my listeners" and the "hate mail" he's sure to receive for pushing back on Trumpers.

Of course, Trump ran to the most magical place in the world to him – FOX "News." Checking in with the alleged news network's late-night answer to the question, "What would late-night be like if it was hosted by someone with 'creepy, angry uncle' vibes?" – otherwise known as Greg Gutfeld's Gutfeld! (you just know the idea for the exclamation mark was Greg's, right?) – Trump proved that he was concerned about the comedic environment by pretty much recycling his response from over a year ago. "I was on Howard Stern's show as much as anybody. He was great at that time, and then he went woke. And since he's gone 'woke,' his ratings have gone down the tubes. And he sort of went anti-Trump for a couple of reasons," Trump was able to get across.

It was back in back in September 2023 when Stern made it clear that he didn't find being called "woke" an insult – just the opposite. "I am woke, motherf***er, and I love it!" declared Stern in response to a fan criticizing the radio host on YouTube. "By the way, I kind of take that as a compliment that I'm woke. 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 f***ing want," he added.

Well, Trump didn't exactly appreciate what Stern had to say – taking to his version of social media to respond back. "The real Howard Stern is a weak, pathetic, and disloyal guy, who lost his friends and MUCH of his audience. I did his show many times in the good old days, and then he went woke, and nobody cares about him any longer." Trump added that the radio host's "influence is gone, and without that, he's got NOTHING" – attempting to write him off as "just a broken weirdo, unattractive both inside and out, trying like hell to be relevant."
