2:30 pm
sound symptom for a german citizen was kidnapped and tortured by the sea. on the chain of the time comes me into interpretation. a powerful documentary jokes the story of how the g of politics, of the post 911 when we were in the life of an innocent bill, my suitcase on outages here camelot harris gaining democratic policy. suppose it had been for the white house. will she be the 1st minority woman to hold the top jump in the us? chances against donald trump. this is inside story, the hello and welcome to the show. i'm sammy's a band with less than full months before the us presidential election. vice
2:31 pm
president campbell harris is a little button guarantee to leave the democratic tickets. she's gaining more public support from top democrats, but will vote as back her in november. but as a minority woman suppose is a hoping her race and gender will attract more of those is who are this engage during vitamins campaign, but will it be enough? some critics say that type of identity politics, they argue the focus should be on the economy and high inflation. so how big of a role, little rice, and then to play in the upcoming elections? how old from team re directed strategy will bring in august in a moment, but 1st this report from katya lopez all day on in her 1st speech since president joe biden. and this is for your election campaign, vice president cumberland harris says she's ready to face donald trump. i took on perpetrators of all kinds of creditors, fluid abuse, women prod stairs,
2:32 pm
ripped off consumers, theaters, who broke the rules for their own gain. so hear me when i say i know donald trump's type powerful democrats, like former house speaker, nancy pelosi are now publicly backing harris and her bid to become the 1st female us president. harris's late mother was indian. her father is jamaica and the party is hoping the race and gender of the 59 year old will appeal to women. any younger folders representing, you know, african american and being a woman. i'm all for democrats have for years rely on black voters and other minorities, but some feel their loyalty has been taken for granted. over 60 years back people have been voted for democrats and we have not. we have no economics. are too many overlap. violets. black community has died on democratic leaders and we
2:33 pm
trump is also trying to port the black vote by highlighting the migrant crisis at the us border. millions of illegal aliens are pouring in and they're taking your jobs. the black community is being hurt more by the illegal aliens. you're down 67 percent from where you were just 3 years ago with me. in such a contentious time in american politics, many voters say the priority should be the economy. i think we're in a different, you know, time period right now climate with things, housing, food, transportation, all of that is not going the bus for a lot of us young people. now months before the election, harrison trump are both fighting for independent voters and minorities. i think the question for vice president harris is not whether and a woman when for the presidency it's can vice president harris was and there been her approval ratings. have not been great in office. up until a few days ago,
2:34 pm
democrats were preparing for the possibility of losing the presidential election. now they're hoping a younger minority candidate will re energize their base. and when the white house in november, katia lopez again to 0 for insights story. now let's bring in, i guess they're all joining us from the united states. we have joining us from washington, dc. brianna shaw and political strategist and former republican presidential campaign senior advisor in dallas, texas. run you about 3 said democratic policy strategist and former deputy campaign manager to send that to bernie sanders, also in washington. that'd be a brown professor of government, the georgetown university and author of sisters in the state house, black women and legislative decision making. i will welcome to all of you if i could stop with randi and ask this question, ragna,
2:35 pm
now the democratic heavy weights seem to have endorsed campbell a house. does this mean that the policy nomination is a done deal? it's just a full miles here at this point. while she's certainly in the best position i think than any body else that's being discussed currently. but i will also say that the dmc leadership is still discussing the process. i know um the chair of jamie harrison has announced that the nominee will be chosen by august 6th. but that doesn't mean that won't still be a process, but yes, of course, vice president harris is in the very best position of anybody being discussed. susan, the best position rena, do you think the republican strategy has to change now if campbell house is the presumptive nominee, as well. uh, as of the time with this recording, she's a mast enough delegates to, to get the nomination. and those, you know,
2:36 pm
barring some cataclysmic event, and i think republicans should expect that she will be the one that faces off with donald trump. and i'm a 100 some dave. and i think we're looking at a moment in history where a lot of people are feeling suddenly energized after months. if not years of fatigue and frustration about our choices at the federal level about why, you know, many leaders don't pass the baton more quickly. and regardless of where you are on the spectrum, i think there, there is a sense that hope is on the ballot in some ways. and look, donald trump also name to running made uh it'd be, aren't the convention that enterprise a number of or younger republicans out there too. because judy bans is not even yet 40. so i think we're, we're sitting in a better place than i expected. we would be at this point in time. all right, not the listening to what i guess they've been saying is a no chance that they'll be any kind of challenge full,
2:37 pm
the nomination of the democratic policy. you know, the names that have been done to the about the governor of colorado, the governor of north carolina, a sentence of from arizona, mont kelly. what do you make of that at this point? i don't think that that will be a calendar that's too close at the 100 days out to the election. democrats are really keen to ensure that they can put their best foot forward to, to be donald trump. and also just logistically the height of having different names printed on the ballots. are things that um, electing elected officials have already started to put in place or will be putting in place. it just doesn't have a lot of time. it's a too strongly to change anything else. so i think it's pretty much a done deal that combo harris is already at this time. as a masked him out, the delegates necessary to move forward as the top of the ticket. and we'll just see her name and we'll find out who the b. p will be hopefully soon, sooner than later. but maybe at the dnc in august rania,
2:38 pm
she's got to move then very quickly in order to stabilize and bring some com this to the democratic camp which has been and tell them all right. can she pull it off? i think so we're already seeing the color the last day we're already seeing a lot of renewed energy, but frankly, i don't think it's a secret that a lot of democrats were stealing, deflated, if i can just say it that way. there are a $105.00 days left until the election of nadia mentioned. the convention is in august and i think we're already seeing, i mean, money isn't everything that obviously campaigns don't grow without money. we're seeing record numbers of a fundraising coming in it through small dollar donations across the country. that gives you a little sense of, of the energy. we're seeing communities who were formally very seriously considering exiting, at least as,
2:39 pm
as it applies to the top of the ticket re engaging. so i think we're already seeing this renewed sense of excitement and energy and the signs of moving and age we have, we seen from the gross roots of the democratic camp. well, the organizing process in a presidential here like this one usually would have seen a lot of organizing calls, virtual meetings and virtual phone banks and things like that. it's been a little bit quiet up until just a couple of days ago. we're seeing that re engagement just like you said from the grassroots. and so i think it's just another sign of a reinvigoration that the democratic party and i would even say a large swath of the country or ceiling at this time. now they do agree with that is campbell, a house, ready the the choice and selection of the gross roots of the democratic candidate. we know that for sure, at this point, all that selection of money and the optics of race color agenda.
2:40 pm
so i agree with ryan, a 100 percent, and so i'll answer this from 2 vantage points. one as a scholar and then the other as black women political science in the 1st is that we know that communities of color, particularly black communities, have felt rather not as happy. perhaps the best way to put it are at more apathetic towards this election choice between biden and trump. and there was a real concern that there were a number of particularly black men who might be moving to vote for the republican ticket. this election cycle. but what we've seen in the last, you know, 24 hours maybe 48 hours, has been a real galvan mesa and galvanizing the black voters in particular. so over $44000.00 black women within 3 hours raised a $104000000.00 for comma le heron, to a win win with black women, which is
2:41 pm
a network of black women politic goes and other community leaders. they did best for their regular scheduled sunday night programs that was so large and it crashed to the internet. right. and they haven't set out a new 0 recording museum lane so that everyone who wants to participate could well, what about like, why might not, why have we seen any sign at that point? i was gonna say that was the point that was getting to right. it's a last night, there was a similar call for black men and they read these over $1200000.00 last night in the same amount of time. and so we are seeing that black communities who were rather apathetic, and again, we're somewhere defecting towards the republican party and most, most of the poorly, not even those that were defective. but we're just apathetic. i'm going to sit home . this election hasn't been swayed by comma harris, but the top of the tickets so much so that not only are they donating money, but they are engaging in community outreach to members of their network. the 3rd
2:42 pm
step, fraternities historically black colleges and universities in their neighborhood networks and are urging other brothers and sisters to log on and take part in this folder mobilization. so it's, again, it's not just that they logged on and gave this money, but they logged on in a way that was centered around community building and trying to get out the vote for november. all right, do you agree with that? read up. all republicans, why should they be why right? but perhaps come on the house, can the po, joe, but some of those vote to segments that was seen is leaning towards donald trump. i'm very excited about biden stepping aside, largely because i think it's now time to get back to a racist on substance entirely. you know, identity politics certainly rule the day in the united states when it comes to our elections, whether at the state level, sometimes that but certainly at the federal level, we're seeing more of it, but it's hard not to get excited when you see somebody like yourself emerge as a front runner for an office that they've never,
2:43 pm
nobody liked them has ever been before. you know, it's certainly an interesting and exciting prospect to see perhaps the 1st of female president and the 1st woman of color to be president in that very same. it's just exciting, but again, this is about what these people can do to better our lives. and so many americans across many demographics. we're feeling that joe biden wasn't speaking to the problems of the day. now, many on the what he right, he has gone out. valerie, know, what does it mean that it seems kind of the harris will be in his place? you know, does that full so really think full or concern hawaii for republicans as well? she has been his b p. right. so the strategist that they'll take it to try to tie her to this administration. it's a successive as well as a lot. does that mean they certainly don't want to talk about the success and black and white. the economy looks quite good on paper, but the economy is the feeling ever more and so across multiple demographics,
2:44 pm
millennials, engines included, there was a sense that by the, by the inherent administration wasn't doing enough for them. but the same attitude was spelt by center, right. and independent voters for the republican party as well, which has really had grievance politics, care, drive it in recent years. the look talking about the state of the res, right? this moment, certainly, republicans should be nervous about the small donor of coming to kamali harrison's aid. it's really incredible that in 3 hours, black women galvanized and brief $1500000.00 for her. that's not a small thing, that's nothing to block out. and i think that what republicans need to worry about now moving forward is looking like they can speak to the problems of average average everyday americans. because democrats are getting certainly take this line and, and push it forward and beyond just black voters, cala harris, this stands points to really have success with john v, the very segment that delivered the white house for her, and president biden back in 2020. so she does well with young progresses,
2:45 pm
she's always done well with them, of course, but it's all about turn out. and so she, she certainly has to bring in enough voters to make up the deficit between her and trump. because pulling that i've seen even after the warranty still has them very much and that can raise a neck and neck. excuse me. it's still a close race, or do you agree with that, ryan? yeah, at this point she's, she's not ahead by a lot. i think it was one percent that she's ahead of 5 and then in the polls, you know, have things being lifted by them. leave it too late for her to ready. step out of his shadow. it's an easy, easy target. hubbard. does it just lump the 2 of them together? and i don't necessarily agree with that. as the vice president has already shown herself to be willing to deviate from, from the president on policy,
2:46 pm
not the least of which of course, some of your viewers know. i am 1st generation palestinian, so especially on the, on the issue of palestine and what's happening in god that she's already shown a propensity to deviate from him. which i think is massively important. of course are public and they're going to try to monitor them together. if i were public and strategist, that's exactly what i would tell them to do. i don't know that it's gonna stick. that being said, the vice president knows that i believe her when, when she says that she wants to earn the nomination and she wants to earn the wind . so she have a lot of work to do. this is not going to happen by accident. there is a lot of excitement in energy, rightfully so right now, but she has a very important call right now that she has to do. she has to bring people in both, you know, in her public appearances, talking about her vision for the future of the country and frankly the world. and she needs to call people in some of the communities that now get, was talking about as well. the black community, of course, the latino community as well. young people have all been incredibly frustrated by
2:47 pm
this administration. and of course my own community, the air, the air community across the united states has been unbelievably frustrated. so she has a, an imperative, a call to action here. i think she's going to ride to the moment and, and we're going to eat, and we're going to see that shift. the other thing i will say very quickly is joe biden has, is a known commodity. he's been in office for decades and decades. he doesn't have room to grow. that's just the honest reality. vice president harris does have room to grow. so while it is neck and neck and within the margin of error, and that can't be taken for granted, i think the more that she calls people and she, she shares her vision for the future. under here as administration, i do think we're going to see those numbers shift, rina. do you agree with that? and particularly can she make a difference in some of the swing states, the battleground states?
2:48 pm
indeed, this moment sort of feels a familiar end board at the same time because we have a vice president who's been in the public spotlight. she herself ran a campaign to try to get the democrats presidential nomination before job. i want it so it's not as if she does complete a know we know where she stands. she is a nation's most experience and accomplish vice president on paper that says something. but then it also gives republicans a lot of chance to really try to delve into her records in california and painter as, as california liberal. who will always cow tell it to the left and that doesn't tend to play well, obviously would be both of folks who are in the 7th when he stays, i call them. but these folks are on the fence. will they feel that, you know? yes, she's too far left for them that remained yet to be seen. i haven't seen any good empirical evidence that allows me to draw conclusions about that. but it will say there, there are some vulnerabilities for our firm. and i think her team has known about
2:49 pm
them for awhile because in recent months, republicans have been saying a particularly recent weeks of trump and other we're both of them have been saying nikki haley included that a vote for bided. this cycle is a vote for harris, so i would definitely, you know, look at what line of attack the republicans are going to use, but i expected to change every day of the week. so since we're getting into what we're talking about the fall sites, get into that little more detail, nadia, when you look at the poles on the question of having campbell, a harris says the nominee instead of joe biden, for the democratic policy, it says, okay, yes, it improves the democratic policies chances with voters of color that you, you mentioned already with the youth, with some of the segments of the progressives. but the same time, some of those polls say, having campbell a house is the nominate, actually improves donald trump's chances with white males with college degrees. supporters of all the republican candidates like nikki haley. i mean,
2:50 pm
given that these baffled ground stays the swing states a quite complex, what does it squared down to india? and can we make um, you know, a bottom line judgment here and say, yes, campbell harris is best oh, was for the democrats in battle ground states. oh, i think that your, your interest was your leading to this question was the answer to the question, right? that these polls are just a snapshot in time, but they're really giving us more of an en route to understanding the complexity of how american voters are looking at key issues and politicians, responses to those policy issues. and so yes, comma la harris might have a uphill battle to fight with some particularly white male voters. but i think the sleeping giant that both parties recognize and are active according to our college
2:51 pm
educated, white women. and what we have seen, particularly with the issue of abortion access events in battleground states and primarily rents. these are that women are unhappy with the republican parties and stance on abortion access. and so democrats have come out as pro choice. but i think the nuance that cala harris brings to the conversation is that it's not an either or pro choice or pro life. but rather, is this a medical procedure that should, that's necessary for a host of reasons that women should be allowed to make with their families. they're bound, you know, in accordance with their religious practices and our medical provider. and so i think that is a huge issue on the ballot this year. and without thinking about how women who are 50 percent of accident, something like 5251 percent of the american population are going to turn out to
2:52 pm
vote when issues of their body and bodily autonomy is on the ballot this this year . and those are people who we've seen that polls have gotten wrong time after time, particularly in states that had referendums or constitutional amendments proposed that polls just didn't get it right. and by the time that the election rolled around, then a vote for tally, the american voters have repeatedly sided towards and shining some access to a portion of portion rates in their state. all right, this is of course, out to 0. we have a global audience around the world watching, so we got to maybe talk a little bit about what campbell, the harris means as the presumptive democratic nominate for the world. and ronnie, and when we think about that question, what does she represent when it comes to the middle east? the conflicts in garza and so on?
2:53 pm
well, i'm just being very frank, i think there's a little bit of a question mark there that a lot of us are eager to get answers to. as i mentioned previously, she has already shown a willingness to depart from the unwavering support of netanyahu and his extremist regime. but is it the reality is, as i mentioned before, she's going to have to have these conversations. i think she does present an opportunity to shift on policy you why don't you know, however, anybody feel of about, you know, israel and palestine in the overall. the reality is the vast majority of people don't support genocide and don't think that that's okay. the vast majority of people and you don't say a lot less than a lot of not any of the american voters, but minority voters of, of color will be looking at campbell, a house and say, you are part of the same team by and that's been running the show when it comes to
2:54 pm
this conflict and garza and i think that she has an opportunity to ryan to remind people that she wasn't. and the people, you know, folks like got to eat and sleep and re politics, have maybe noticed the new ones and shit seen her do these deviations. but it's going to be incumbent on her to show people and tell people that she doesn't just fall in line with these policies that have okay. devastated in so many of us so as on hers to show that i think that there's an open door in there. i, i could see that and i deal with shaking head, i think in disagreements, i want to give you a quick uh, 30 seconds to come in on this before we go to rina. right. so, i mean, i, i agree with the large part of the large part of rodney is point, but i think there is a difference in how come a le harris can talk to voters. that really lambda voters around this guy is
2:55 pm
a conflict, particularly because she is a woman of color. she's, you know, a younger she's a member of generation x. and it's really the split between binding and harris here was on the changing face of geo politics. right. then all the, again, the regions are viewing the conflicts and the united states presence in the middle least as a proxy of, of israel. and then as vanya was saying, right, there's younger americans who hardly see what's going on as an issue of genocide and are unhappy with what happened on october 6th, either right. but they weren't there seeing american intervention in a much different way. and i think drama and bodies that different sped ship that's happening now. all right, rena. we know to some extent, want donald from stands for when it comes to nato ukraine. garza, do we know what campbell a house means and stands for when you strip away joe biden from her on the world
2:56 pm
stage on some of those issues. a look, i think october 7 and really challenged the consciousness of a lot of american voters who, who were paying attention were more technologically connected of all ballot box than ever before. and likewise, we are able to get imagery out of gaza that is shocking and leaves the hearts broken daily. and young americans have felt completely betrayed by this administration at times that it took so long providing to call for as these fires that divide and blinking do a slow walked everything and i didn't become a la harris have a seat in any of that. so it is very confusing on the one hand, and there's been a lot of talk over many weeks about how the muslim american community is felt betrayed by this administration. but look at the clear alternative. donald trump, when he ran in 2016, ran on saying that he'd inactive muslim band, which he didn't do. my cousin was a lawyer waiting at j. f. k airport in new york for people that were banned from entering when they arrived. i mean, we have, as an electorate have such
2:57 pm
a short memory, so i think young americans do get it, be understand that the alternative is trump, who may do words and has been really close with benjamin netanyahu in years past. who had jared cushion are in the front seat? i'm trying a broker piece in the middle east. you know, lot of that trump administration's actions a lot of to october's that in. and so i don't think anybody's hands are clean here . all i want is my tax, peer dollar, not going to fund killing innocent children, women and men. and all i know is that nicky healey and the republicans for the longest time ever have talked about having israel's back no matter what. and recently only recently has donald trump let it slip out that he thinks benjamin netanyahu needed to knock it off and gaza, needed to end it quickly over there. and now the, if you seems a little bit more, more moderate, but bear with me benjamin netanyahu in town right now in washington, dc. this very moment, i think the 1st good step decala harris took was this day she would not per site over a joint session of not in yahoo speaking to congress. all right, we're going to leave it that for now. let's try and call and guess, read a shot,
2:58 pm
run you patrice an idea. brown, and thank you to for watching and see the show again. any time by visiting our website, i'll do 0. don't com for further discussion and go to our facebook page. that's facebook dot com, forward slash a j inside story, and also join the conversation on exxon handle is a inside story from a sam is a that on the inside of see if a now is defined the a meeting of minds discussing the defining issues of our time in one year we source that change, it became clear at that point, but we really were in that kind of a new era of nobel peace, slower. it's maria, theresa and professor michael wooldridge and explore the pedals and possibilities of walk official intelligence. it changes the way we think, and then the way we act out can protect ourselves. studio b, b a. i series on
2:59 pm
a jersey to a no. l 1st for palestinians in garza for it is said, the polio virus has been detected and stores and contaminated water is really a talk of caused extensive damage to ga, the source systems. that's the nation of plants and water supply networks. even before october, the 7th palestinian did not have enough to clean the water line going, aid agencies and the you and for daily deliveries. we have begging for help. we have begging to be saved from the suicide. people are locked in, their homes can't go out. as well as this part of vaccinating exposure as in dog to protect them against the virus which can cause deformities and paralysis. many palestinians here say they are exhausted, tired of moving from one temporary shoulder to another well being hungry and waiting and fear for the next attack. and now they also worried about the right of
3:00 pm
diseases. the, so this is all to 0. i'm telling you navigate, i want to check on your world headlines. kenny, as presidents, has nominated 10 new cabinet ministers after weeks of antique government protests. william root, so has included members of the opposition, that's having dismissed most f as ministers earlier this month. and he promised to implement measures, but she says, will address the corruption prices within his government. protests were initially sparked by anger over an increase in taxes, but the movement has now spread across the country for testers, demand and government reform, as well as retails resignation. i have these to state dependence. i have had you
