4:21 pm
gender. i'm asking you a serious question. and i want you to answer this, rob. >> um-hum. >> do you believe that if you had a chance to be in my shoes or those four congressional leaders would you see it my way? >> i can't answer that. i think insulting. i'll give you this. i think it was insulting what he wrote. but i don't think it was racist. the point of the fact is from my perspective and so many other americans is, the minute -- the minnesota you fire back, the minute you answer back or attack on policy you get branded a racist that's where we're at in this country. >> and my question on this, rob. >> i understand your point of perhaps you don't want to vote on one resolution because then there is a slough. >> it's non-stop now. >> but i will say this, the tweet waste o was racist. you can argue he is not a race zpliet you can say that it doesn't mean it's true. there are a lot of people don't think that. that was par for the course and not necessarily racist. >> he hasn't said that noah
4:22 pm
white person. >> let's say he does? is he it racist or insulting. >> just because people say doesn't mean it's true. a lot of people thought it wasn't racist to have slavery and celebration. >> of course it was. >> you have seen the hearts of history of the president. i understand you have a personal relationship this is indisputable. >> i think it was insulting. >> can i just -- because this is why i want to play kellyanne conway he tried to do something absurd. she said everyone's ethnicity. matters when that meters you end one yugoslavia. it's ridiculous and absurd. >> we're not going that eright now in this country? it's balkanized this country is completely balkanized backup. identity politics. >> after the president is a says to the black and brown people go back to the country you came from when they're from here. and kellyanne says this. >> what's your ethnicity? >> he said go home.

breaking news, of an exclusive interview with kamala harris. sitting town moments ago with kyung lah. and kyung asked her about president trump's comments about four congresswoman. >> thank you or for sitting down with me at this busy time. >> of course. of course. >> i want to start with you are the daughter of immigrants. >> um-hum. >> a sitting member of congress, a woman of color. >> um-hum. >> how do you view president trump's tweets? >> i think it's unamerican. unamerican. it is unbecoming of the president of the united states. i think it -- it defiles the office of the president of the united states. it is irresponsible. it is hateful.
4:31 pm
it is hurtful. and he has taken the presidency to a new low. >> it's personal for you as well. you just shared a story here in davenport, iowa beingland told to go back where you came from. >> sure but it's not one time. many of us have been told that. and i purposely asked at the event to for people to raise hands. and many hands went up. it is -- it is -- for the president of the united states -- it's one thing to hear it in a schoolyard or on the street. it's another thing to hear that from the president of the united states. and this is yet another example of the fact that the current occupant of the white house does not understand the responsibility that comes with that office. the president of the united states has a very powerful,
4:32 pm
powerful voice. and tool which is that microphone. and it should be used in a way that reflects the strength of the office, the strength of the office should be to lift people up and not beat them down. but in president -- i guess thinks that he becomes stronger by those who he pushes down. well that's not reflective of who we are as a nation. it's not reflective of the values we have as americans. it's not reflective of -- of our history, much less our vision for our future. >> do you take this personally as a daughter of an immigrant? you have written about how. >> i take it personally as a member of the united states senate. >> if we could turn to what the four members of congress urged for people who are listening to not get distracted. >> um-hum. >> how do you not get distracted, not fall into his trap where he controls the
4:33 pm
narrative with a tweet like this. >> i've said it many times. this president purposely, i believe, distracts and attempts to distract by flame throwing, because the reality of it is that he has done nothing to help working families in america. he passed a tax bill benefitting the top 10% benefitting big corporations in the country. he has done trade policy by tweet. the the american consumer is paying $1.4 billion more a minute in everything from shampoo to washing machines because of his trade policy, which i call the trump trade tax. and he has not done anything to build up the infrastructure of our country. and all that comes with that in terms of improving and elevating the condition of working families. and so what does he do? he wants to distract by -- by
4:34 pm
starting a whole -- lighting fires around the issue of race and ethnicity. it's disgusting. >> is this a turn? there is so much rage about this. is this a turn for you? >> there is so much disgusting about this. i think it's a turn for this president. could it get any worse? apparently yes. it just did. how low can he go. >> can he get lower. >> i don't know but he needs to go back where he came from and leave that office. and that's why i'm running with the intention of making sure there will not be four more years. i don't think that we can survive having a president of the united states who -- who uses whatever voice he has that is about dividing and fueling hate in our country. the american people will not tolerate that. i know that. i know who we really are as a
4:35 pm
country. the american people will not tolerate this kind of hate from their president. >> i want to turn to the issue of health care. >> yes. >> at the beginning of the year in january you talked about you were fine with getting rid of it. and then you indicated that there was a place for private health insurance, and then the debate where you raised your hand understanding that you say you misheard the question. so let's. >> there is a lot you are nlding into the question that's not accurate. >> well there is kuchgs. >> i would like to get to the point but there is that a lot built in the question that's inact. >> the kbrepgs people are left with is not kpleer. >> let's clear did it up. >> yeah good. >> tell me your position on what medicare for all means under president hair zblies medicare for all means that everyone has access to health care and kwoft is not a barrier. as it relates to private insurance there will be
4:36 pm
supplemental insurance, but yeah getting into -- transitions to medicare for all will at some point reduce the requirement for insurance, because everyone will have access to health care. under made medicare for all my vision of medicarefare all people will have coverage -- what they don't now in terms of vision, dental care, hearing aids. i'm here with a bunch of seniors in iowa. and hearing aids are extremely expensive and not covered by medicare right now. medicare for all means that you recognize that right now in america 91% of our doctors are in medicare. so you're in the going to have to lose your doctor. it's very unlikely. it means recognizing that over a period of many years the insurance companies have been jacking up the cost of health care in terms of premiums, deductibles and co-pays. so right now someone who has coverage is out of pocket $5,000
4:37 pm
because that's the deductible. which for most that's unaffordable. >> the role roll of private insurance rb are you limiting that to something like cosmetic insurance? what is the exact role of private insurance. >> to cover what is not otherwise covered. >> that includes what. >> very little because almost everything will be covered. almost everything will be covered. and here is the important piece. we've got medicare for all right now. and you know what that is. it's the emergency room. and it is extremely expensive for the american taxpayer. and also it's a system that basically means that people have access to health care when they're in crisis. a smart system will not require people to be in crisis before they have access to health care >> so then how does this plan differ from what senator sanders is proposing. >> i think that they're very similar. i don't think they are -- i'm supporting his bill. to the extent he talks about his
4:38 pm
bill. i don't know what else's talking about. imi'm not support in support of middle class families paying for taxes for it. >> that's what i was hoping to talk to you about. you just said that. you were not in favor of a middle class tax hike. >> yes, correct. >> how do you propose to pay for your version of medicare for all if it resembles what snorp sanders. >> part of it is about wall street paying more. part of it is looking at what we tax in terms of financial services. that's part of it. but the other part of it is to understand that this is about an investment which will reap a great return on the investment. we can't only look at this issue in terms of cost without thinking about benefit. the benefit to the american public will be that people will have access to health care that right now they cannot afford. and we are all paying a price for that. >> well yb senator sanders is
4:39 pm
saying that's kbb to aech without a middle class tax hike. >> the rules have been written against working class and middle class families for far take a look it's in the necessary to tax them more to achieve what is achievable. by recognizing that -- that they don't have to pay more to receive a benefit they deserve which is access to health care. >> in many study, study after study shows it would cost $30 trillion over a decade to pay for that. taxing wall street will reap 30 trillion to cover this in order to cover this? >> what we are doing right now is unaffordable. so so many american families. and the idea that we are going to go down -- and this level of it analysis that suggests that status quo is okay, is completely unacceptable. >> and we're going to have much more of kyung's interview after

. breaking news. we're back with more of kyung's exclusive interview with kamala harris. kyung asked if harris believed bide. would make a good running mate. harris said bide isn't wrong that medicare for all does not mean getting rid of obamacare. >> what vice president -- what former joe biden would suggest is that you're not necessarily being clear with the american people. and this past week he was asked about ending private insurance as we know it. and when he asked about the others, the former vice president responded so far not. because 150 million americans are covered by private insurance. are you -- what happens to those 150 million americans under president hair zblies well it's the same as the millions of americans every day that transition so medicare as

seniors. it's seamless. without any difference to their coverage in terms of access to health care. it has to happen over a period of time. there is no question we would have to go from the current system into a medicare for all system and transition into it. but the idea that there would be any substantial difference in terms of the health care that people received is just not accurate. >> so people who have private insurance would have to give that up under your plan. >> they would be eventually covered under medicare for all and sigh their doctor. and that's what they want. >> how long would the transition take do you envision. >> i think the transition has to take -- the bill is four years i think it has to take more than that to be honest. >> and all done without a middle class tax hike. >> without a middle class tax hike. >> yes. >> 309 trillion over ten years. >> there are ways to pay for it understanding the investment that we are making in a way that's going to reap great benefits in terms of other costs. >> the investment where. >> in american health.
4:46 pm
and what we are otherwise paying as a cost for people not having access to health care and the burdens that places on systems across the board when people don't have access to health care. >> and when people question that there is no formula for in, that you are going to find money and in magical ways, is not realistic thinking, how do you respond to that. >> the status quo is not enough. so we have to be open to challenging status quo so that everyone has access to health care and price is not the barrier. we have to agree that what's happening right now is not affordable to many, many working families. it's just not affordable. with one in five people can't afford their prescription medication. we're looking at a situation
4:47 pm
where one in four diabetes patients can't afford their insulin. we're looking at a situation where seniors are coming out of pocket as much as $4,000 a year to pay for their arthritis medication because it's not otherwise -- they can't afford it. we have to move to a system where price is not the barrier to access to health care. >> joe biden says that this is what you are suggesting, an elimination of obamacare. is that accurate? >> it's absolutely not. listen, i -- i will put my record up against anybody as having been a -- a fighter for the maintenance and the sustainability of obamacare. as attorney general -- i'm sure on the debate stage i'm the oem one who went to court to fight to keep in place all of the benefits of obamacare.
4:48 pm
but like president obama himself said, he used the analogy of it being like a starter home. it was a profound public health policy and shift. it was incredible. the courage that he had with so many others to actually get it done, and the where with alto get it done was profound and -- but now it's about taking it to the next step. >> so it is moving on from obamacare? >> and making kbrofts on it. and president obama himself said that already improvements to be made. >> your policy that you released today, the drug policy. >> um-hum. >> what i found quite intriguing about it is that in proposal after proposal, from your gun policy to the drug policy, you have said that you will lean on executive action if congress fails to act. you're a sitting member of congress. what does this say about your belief in the authority of
4:49 pm
congress? >> but congress has the authority. the question is, is there the will? the question is, is there the courage? what i have witnessed is that on so many of the biggest and most fundamental issues in the two years that i've been there, congress is just not acting. and you know -- and so where it fails to act and where there is a longstanding and deep need for action by the american people then where the authority exists, exists in the executive branch to use executive power and take executive action, i'm prepared to do it. i believe in just getting stuff done. and for some of the issues like afford ability of prescription drugs, to suggest to you that congress and frankly this administration have been in the pocket of the big pharmaceutical companies to the point gnat american people pay more for the same drugs than people in canada
4:50 pm
and the uk pay. why is that? why is it that the american government would let our own people pay more for the drugs that they need to relieve their pain or extend quality of their life? >> and last question very quickly. you said last may that you thought joe bidden would make a, quote, great running mate. do you still believe he would make a great running mate. >> i think we have to get past the primary >> thank you senator. >> thank you for your time. and now good news for kamala harris tonight. fundraising numbers show she's one of five democratic candidates clearly out of the pack. harris, pete buttigieg, bernie sanders are in a league of their own. david garrigan is "outfront". she's articulate. she speaks well. that's resulted in a lot of money coming in. when you go through the numbers and look at kamala harris and
4:51 pm
others in that league of their own, what surprised you? >> what surprised memostwas elizabeth warren continues to move up and she's competitive but it's also interesting that those big five are solidifying their lead in the overall democratic race. the same five are at the top of the new cnn poll out of new hampshire, same five people are running ahead of everybody else. so there is a top tier, a small middle tier with booker, beto, ocho r o'rourke and everybody else. >> right now you have 12 candidates and $2.5 million on hand. 17 candidates are pulling at 1 % in the poll you referenced in new hampshire. so should people start getting out of the race now or are they going to hang in in the cnn debate or will people start coming out? >> yes, before the end of the year, some will wait and see if lightning can strike.
4:52 pm
something can still happen and they will -- they have to decide do i want to spend that money down or keep some in the bank account for a future race? that's one consideration. the other consideration is when you're down at that level, at that third tier, where do you find the people who want to hold fundraisers for you? >> right. >> it's hard to do. >> people, funders want something. the new hampshire poll, joe biden is at 24% and obviously they are the neighboring, you know, the neighbors to that state. >> yeah. >> but that puts them within the margin of error with biden. what i'm curious about is how you play this. warren and saernlnders are splig the vote. is this a bad sign or good sign that the most of the numbers are against something you can dive vi divide and win. >> as long as warren and sanders are running neck and neck against each other, he wins.
4:53 pm
he wins iowa. he does better in new hampshire and so forth. if one of them starts to fade and sanders is showing signs of this, if those people then go to warren, he's going to be -- it's going to be very much more competitive for biden or happen alternatively if sanders picks up, he's a competitor. one thing joe biden doesn't want is to go mano el mano. e h li he likes the five. >> trump can have it big. >>kamala harris, one would assume that was a calculate assault. >> i totally agree. >> she delivered on that. >> and she delivered on one other thing. she delivers on command presence that works well. >> it certainly did and obviously, you know, able to have a conversation. thank you, david. next, biden says he's ready to battle trump and he's not talking about the ballot box.
