GRETCHEN CARLSON (GUEST): Look, this was the antithesis of division. This was about contrast from division, common ground, common sense solutions, compromise. A lot of c-words there, but they all add up to the fact that she's extending an olive branch to those undecided voters out there saying, "I am the person that will make you feel comfortable," another c-word.

And I think that this was incredibly important because a lot of people think that Kamala Harris, herself as a divider, they have had an impression that she's too far to the left. This entire speech was about bringing people together and I think one of the most powerful lines was, "Even if you disagree with me" -- and she said this twice, "Even if you disagree with me, I'm not going to jail you. I'm not going to send you off into oblivion."
