Kamala Harris tells audience to 'remember history,' warns current era parallels 'the 1930s'
Leaked video shows former Vice President Kamala Harris warning that the state of the world is eerily similar to the 1930s. In a rare appearance since leaving the White House, videos have surfaced of Harris at a Q&A during the 2025 Australian Real Estate Conference (AREC 2025). Toward the end of the Q&A, the host noted his admiration for former President Barack Obama, asking Harris what has made him so successful. "I think one of the very special aspects of who he is, is he really is a student of history and that gets back to my earlier point about, for each of us, understanding the context in which we exist," she said in the footage leaked online. It's critically important, because coupled with the enthusiasm that comes with ambition and optimism, we must be the clear-eyed focus of understanding where we've been." The former vice president then argued, as a "student of history" herself, that the world's current state echoes one of the darkest parts of the 20th century. "I do worry, frankly, about what's happening right now in our world," she said. "I do worry that it is important that we remember history. It's important we remember the 1930s. It's important that we remember that history has taught us that isolation does not equal insulation." Harris went on to argue, "It is important that we understand and remember history which taught us the interdependence and interconnection between nations. History that has taught us the importance of relationships of trust, the importance of friendships, integrity, honesty." She added, "There is so much about foreign affairs that is just like the importance of having good friendships, consistency, honesty, being there for each other when you need them, holding up standards, international rules and norms."

Kamala Harris emerges in Australia with nonsensical babbling monologue
left an audience baffled as she laughed and talked about Playboy magazine covers during an appearance at the Australian Real Estate Conference in Queensland, Australia. The former vice president also launched into a confusing 'word salad' after being asked about the importance of humility. Her bizarre comments were made on Sunday during a question and answer session where she shared a 'funny' story about her mother. Harris sat on stage with real-estate industry veteran John McGrath for over an hour and recalled that her mother was very focused on women's reproductive health, which included sharing her thoughts about 'fibroids' and 'hormones.' She said: 'My mother was 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 they were developed for the perpetuation of the human species!" She was very practical that way.' As Harris began laughing, McGrath responded, 'A great lady,' before shifting immediately to another question. Harris also spoke at length about issues important to her, but lost her way when asked about humility. '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. '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.' The former VP added: '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.' But Harris wasn't finished, emphasizing the importance of ambition outside of humility. 'Part of the key to our survival is that we are adaptable but we are also ambitious. I applaud ambition. I applaud ambition. 'I think it is a good thing, to reach, but not without also understanding that in so doing, one must do the hard work. One must understand the context in which they exist. One must be respectful. Harris also included throwbacks to famous word salads of her political career including a mention of being 'unburdened by what has been,' the importance of 'speaking truth' and being aware of the significance of the 'passage of time.' '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.' At one point the moderator said he believed her 'best work is ahead of you, for sure, 100 percent.' 'I am unemployed right now,' she said with a smile. 'Go on, let's speak truth.' When she was asked to give advice to young women in the real estate industry, she repeated her motto about not listening to people who tell them to wait their turn. 'I don't hear no. I eat no for breakfast,' she said.
