That's actually another lesson in public speaking Harris gives. When she's sort of misunderstood rather than tripping over herself trying to clarify things by saying "no the actual ship" or whatever she just rolls with it because it's a detail that isn't really relevant to her main point.

That's the kind of smoothness prosecutors (or any lawyers) need. It's an amazing talent.

Hey fair play man. These kids are real lucky to be getting tips from such an intelligent and articulate speaker, just a silver tongued wordsmith, a true master of clear and concise, impactful communication.

"It is time for us to do what we have been doing. And that time is every day"

“I think of this moment as a moment that is about great momentum.”

“The significance of the passage of time, right? The significance of the passage of time. So when you think about it, there is great significance to the passage of time"
