the headline is can we truly be free? we will read some of that and just a bit and i want to play you the video from the administration released over the weekend and they texted this last night over the white house. this tweet, i should say. president biden and vice president kamala harris have gotten a lot done and they are just getting started. >> ok. what do you think? >> i think we are off to a great start. >> remember what has happened in our country and what motivated us is the resilience and the determination of the american people. i wish people could see what i see. i have been in the oval office

with you when the cameras are there and what you have singularly done based on who you are and i meet this in -- mean this in all sincerity, to bring together nations and allies and you bring them together meekly. -- uniquely. >> it is never been a good bet to bet against americans. we created many jobs. 750,000 manufacturing jobs. >> that on top of capping the price of insulin at $35 a month. we have created more small businesses in the last two years that any two year span in history. pres. biden: we have united the world in a way that has to be done in a while and we are -- people are realizing there is not a damp think you can do if in fact we do it together.

or african americans have health care and more women are employed in decent jobs. >> there is now a name that the world knows and the name is justice ketanji brown jackson. >> more female court judges now. >> it is groundbreaking. we have momentum. >> we have momentum. host: that video from the white house, or force our question here on washington journal, your view on the job performance of vice president kamala harris. democrats, (202) 748-8000. republicans, (202) 748-8001. for independence and others, (202) 748-8002. the tallahassee report writing that -- protecting access to abortion pills and continue to push for federal legislation,

restoring abortion rights on the 50th anniversary on the now overturned roe v. wade decision, speaking with about 1500 people in tallahassee. harris told a crowd of about 1500 inside the moon light -- nightclub just blocks from the florida capital. they write that since the u.s. supreme court throughout roe v. wade, near total bands and -- of abortion have been implemented in 12 states with legal challenges pending in other states. they tell -- to mark the 50th anniversary of abortion becoming legalized in the nation, underscored both the state's place in the crossroad of deciding the future of abortion in its boundaries and also ron

desantis' potential as a reiber -- rival of president biden. caller: good morning. two key -- two things. i think harris will never be competent and if the 25th amendment is used against biden, she might become the president. at that point, i wonder can she vote in the senate as the tiebreaker or not? i think the 25th amend will get rid of president biden and she will be impeach and you will get a republican who is the head of the house. that is all i have to say. host: what would she be impeach on? -- impeached on? caller: incompetence. always laughing like a full and never do anything -- like a full

and never --fool any -- and never doing anything. real barriers, with guns, to stop aliens from coming over, especially the drug cartels or the people who want a better life. host: to carl in lebanon, tennessee. caller: things are taken michael -- thanks for taking my call. host: you bet. you are on the air. caller: the video you showed is a perfect example and it was basic -- basically president biden given -- giving his talking points and there was no mention own anything that kamala harris has done and they have kept a lit on her. --lid on her. -- about energy privacy --

policy and his observation was that john mccain was too old to be president. that job is 24/7, 365 days a year and it takes a lot of energy. i think president biden is too old and former president trump is too old to fully workbench up -- work that job. if president biden truly has an interest in the country, i think he has brought back the idea of civility and shown a government's support -- supposed to work and he should announce he is not going to run for reelection and leave it open to democratic candidates. host: when you think that leaves the role of ice present harris -- vice president harris? caller: i don't recall hearing about much on what she has accomplished. it was a story about her staff was so dysfunctional --

dysfunctional and you haven't heard much from her. i know she presented the read -- wreath of the tomb of the unknown soldier this past veterans day but i think they cat a tight lid on her for a reason. host: we will go to someone in bowie, maryland. caller: good morning, everyone. the only full --fool called and talking about the 25 amendment -- 25th amendment and appeasement. on what grounds? we had a cult leader in office for four years. what did that who do? nothing. what did mike pence do? nothing. the only full's are the people following the people of the cult -- the democrats are the only

people doing things for the american people. host: what you think the assets that vice president biden brings to the united -- administration. caller: vice president harris? host: i'm sorry, vice president harris. caller: she brings a lot. just because we don't hear every time she takes a step, that she is into anything -- isn't doing anything and that is the hypocrisy of the ,aga republicans --maga republicans. look at what the schools are doing on capitol hill --fools are doing on capitol hill. nothing. host: we go toronto, republican line. -- ronald, republican line. caller: be person who spoke knew what she was talking about.

she has one problem. she is a democrat. i have nothing against democrats or republicans. that is why i changed to be an independent. i will stay independent. kamala harris has more problems -- no, to problems. --two problems. she is a female and she is black. if she can get though -- over those two problems with their viewing audience, that will be coming on here -- your viewing audience that will be coming on here shortly, i guarantee, she will become the next president of the united states of america. host: to courtney in georgia. on the republican line. caller: good morning. i heard kamala harris give a speech about abortion as she quoted the constitution -- and

she quoted the constitution -- she misquoted the constitution. one of the most recorded things -- quoted things in the united -- constitution is life, rudy, and the pursuit of -- liberty and the pursuit of happiness. she leaves out life. i don't understand the lady who just caught about calling the republicans. -- republicans. --fools. host: do you think the vice president is leaving out be -- the word life intentionally? caller: yes. she misquoted it, i think she did it three times. she did more than one time. i think she left it on purpose. everyone can quote the

constitution. i am trying to be respectful. my voice is changing as i get upset but i think she left it out intentionally. host: a reminder for our viewers, that speech that we heard yesterday is available from tallahassee and the speech is available on our mobile app c-span now and you can watch it in its entirely -- entirety as c-span.org. the headline, harris warns of more limits. they say the vice president was the highest profile and administration official on -- to appear at a day where thousands of advocate -- at the kids were preparing to rally and march for change. without the votes to enshrine the protections on roe, administration officials hope her appearance in florida would

-- help sick saint the hanger -- sustained anger that drive voters during the midterms. >> i am pleased to announce that president biden and i am announcing it today, has issued a presidential memorandum on this issue. members of our cabinet and our administration are directed as of the president's order to identify various to access to prescription -- barriers to access to protect -- prescription medication -- to make sure that doctors can legally prescribed and pharmacies can dismiss -- dispense and women can secure and safe -- secure safe and effective medication. [applause] the president has done that and that the same time that we work

to protect this aspect of reproductive care, many states have gone further. they now have total bands --bans in effect. alabama, missouri, and south dakota just to name a few. as clinics close in bills states -- those states, many have lost access to basic care such as routine checkups, cancer screenings, and contraception. and to everyone listening, be sure no one is immune from these impacts. even in states that protect reproductive rights like new jersey, illinois, oregon. even, people live in fear of what might be next because

republicans in congress are now calling for a nationwide abortion been. --ban. some even from the moment of conception. the right of every woman in every state in this country to make decisions about her own body is on the line. i said it before and i will say it together -- again. how dare they. how dare they. host: a couple of comments on social media about our opening question. from d.c., whose weeds -- who tweets. -- this one says --

should --she is doing a fine job ," says steve, -- let's go to brenda in houston, texas. caller: good morning, bill, and don't take this personally. i have been watching you guys since 79 -- -- 1979. i want you to go back in your archives and find for me and you don't have to answer immediately . i watch free much every day. i want you to find for me a question that you post about mike pence during those horrific

four years. find that for me when you questioned what we thought about mike pence. in regards to the question, i think she is doing an outstanding job. if she said one more sentence than she has said, people would say she is over sending -- overshadowing the president. do you know how bad it it mike pence -- it it mike pence -- idiot mike pence -- talk about how wonderful and how glorious -- so don't tell me, don't compared to this -- don't compared this woman to those idiots before. host: brad is on the republican line. caller: good morning, everyone.

i would like to say that, -- kamala harris is a failure. her borders are, the cartel is controlling 13 cities in texas. the media is lying about how many people have had their heads cut off in the cartel -- and the cartel will take over american -- america thanks to the democratic party. i hate the democratic party and i love americans but at -- they are light to every about what -- they are lied to everyday about what is happening at the border. host: your view of vice president, harris -- kamala harris' up --job. caller: can i tell you what is going on in louisville?

we have this retired prosecutor chasing people around in -- with us by drone and it is terrible but i think they are doing ok. and that is all i got. host: shay is on the democrats line in annapolis, maryland. caller: good morning. if i had to give it -- kamala harris a letter grade, i would give her a flat out have --f. she should have stayed in the senate but i view her as a opportunist. she has no shot in 2024 as far as a president because, as me as a part -- far left progressive, progressives will not vote for her in the primaries. she has done absolutely nothing. host: do you think she was better as a progressive in the

senate? caller: she wasn't a progressive and she was talking because she was a senator in california -- shocking because she was a senator in california. she was a moderate and she became a corporate democrat once she was nominated to be biden's vp. as far as any chance of her running in 2024 as president, she will not make it out of the primaries. the progressives will not vote for her. host: you use the term opportunist. why do you take -- why did she take the position of vice president? if she is up vice for -- opportunist, did she think that the road would be clear for a presidency?

caller: unfortunately, i have seen nothing from her that shows to me that -- she has no chance of making it of the primary. she has been of failure for not only black people -- a failure for not only black people are and younger voters and lgbt, she is talking about abortion rights. this administration has been of failure with allowing two people to obstruct an agenda in which younger voters, lgbtq, and african-american voters went out in droves to get biden and kamala harris and they have done nothing for them. host: i appreciate your view and i go to bill in the republican line in massachusetts. caller: am i going? -- on?

host: you are. caller: i will spend five seconds talking about kamala harris. she gets a zero on the republican party -- report card. she never went to the border and she smokes dope all day long. she laughs like a four year child. she took -- he took either half a billion or $1 million from the communist and the chinese and the ukraines and russia. my final remark is we have to have two separate countries in america. bring on the civil war, demon breasts --rats. host: among the tweets --

i called earlier had bested in the washington speech. here is the headline from fox news. the anniversary is the first since the decision was overturned in june 2022, allowing states to set their own abortion laws. she quoted the declaration of independence. she notably ignored how the phrase is also -- also states

that americans are granted the right to life. jen is on the independent line in new york. caller: this is my first time calling. what i want to say is that some people have short memories. this is -- thank you. host: jonathan on the democrats line. caller: good morning. thank you for taking my call. my overall view of kamala harris is she is probably a solid b layer in her role is to work -- player and her role is to work in channels of the democrat party and i heard some interesting progress about her lack of her progressive

credentials. i won't deny that she would have a hard time clearing a democratic primary. i want to go to the pacific's -- specifics of her advocacy of health character -- choice and reproductive choice. and i extend with her the 100%, the idea of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. i think people tend to not remember or maybe they don't want to -- people, after they are born, have rights. we don't give rights to the pre-born in this country. our abortion laws, as evidenced by roe v. wade, had a limit of 24 weeks. or states to take advantage --

for states to take advantage of this and denied the rights of women, their ability to care for their own households and health, and their own mortality. childbirth still kills women. we never had a time where women were in at risk for their own lives, get -- carrying a fetus to term so i give her an a plus for rally. the majority and there is a majority of people in the u.s. who favored the right of choice for women to have an abortion, if she feels she needs one, for any reason up to a certain amount of time and on that basis, i think she is doing a great job. host: this is from the wall street journal reflecting, further changes in be a magician

at the two year mark. president joe biden is planning to name jeff science -- jeff science --saionz, -- is expected to step down in the coming weeks after more than two years on the job and the -- the press reported that there is someone expected to succeed them. during the first year, helping to make a network to make the shots available nationally. on the republican line, barbara. caller: good morning and i am calling about the republicans and i am calling about the key

difference between be democrats and republicans. they are doing nothing but lying to the people. i don't think that is right. just like with the border and giving this money away, it is ridiculous. take care of our country. host: 538 has an ongoing poll, including approving or disapproving of the vice president. the disapprove number is 48.8% and the approved number is -- water is in washington dc. -- walter is in washington dc. caller: excellent. regarding kamala harris. she dresses the part of being

president but her job performance is atrocious. looking at everything she does and i know it is not attentional for her to laugh about everything but whatever she gets nervous, she breaks out laughing and thinking -- she thinks everything is funny and she doesn't do her job especially with the border. she is supposed to take care of that and even folks in triangle countries points out that the reason we have a border crisis is because of the biden administration illuminating trump's policies. i hope this gets better because her performance needs work and as for your caller, the person from bully, maryland. everything she says, she is the reason why everything is democrats, we have to cut off cnn and msnbc because while

trump's attitude stinks. the country was in better shape under four years of trump. i fought for joe biden and item disappointed -- i am disappointed in calling people. --fools because they voted for trump, his policies are better. this full --fool, he is nothing -- but plagiarism. i thought that we put joe biden in office, things would be back to normal and no more trump. we have to get out of our feelings when it comes to politics here and vote for the

best person. host: in terms of the biden administration itself, has vice president kamala harris been more facet and -- or a liability -- more of an asset or a liability. caller: i will say both. president biden said -- did the same thing when he quoted jefferson's speech about patriots -- the blood from patriots and tyrants needed to refresh the tree and joe biden let -- left off the last part, try -- tyrants. it looks like neither president biden or vice president harris are in charge. both of them are incompetent. every time they do stuff, it looks like someone is telling them what to do all the way. a lot of stuff never shows that

they are in charge of everything and i voted for these people. i thought they would be better. looking at how our media list -- misled us, and i did not know these people were this bad. i was happy with eight years of president obama. i am disappointed but i will say i have -- we have to get rid of this and test animosity with trump. -- with this animosity would drop -- with president trump. host: the line for democrats is (202) 748-8000. for republicans, (202) 748-8001. four independents and others, (202) 748-8002. two a caller's question earlier,

this is a question we have asked about lot of vice presidents. we asked about mike pence. it is a question we have asked about vice presidents going back a number of years and one of the roles of vice president is president of the senate and being called on to ask the tiebreaking broke in the u.s. senate and ballot pedia tracking the number. they say she has cast the third most during her tenure during the u.s. senate. 26 so far and her most recent passing was august senate -- second, on the inflation reduction act, she passed -- broke the tie to pass the bill. republican line. caller: kamala harris is a joke. look at some of her -- speeches

and her word salad. she's the equivalent of a second-grader who wrote a speech to speak the next day and she is totally inept. she couldn't get 1% of the vote in the primaries before she quit. she is a total joke and the entire democratic party is a joke. host: two carl in charleston, south carolina. go ahead. caller: good morning. i woke up to c-span this morning and i was hoping for a good debate or something. we went into kamala harris and everything. no damage has been done to kamala harris. she would never be president of the united states.

most of the people that called on the show will never be president of the net state so that is not saying a whole lot -- the united states so that is not saying a whole lot. president biden was in charge of the water. -- border. fox news new -- go ahead and destroy her. i am 69 years old. a military guy. i have seen a lot of presidents over my lifetime and everything. who cares, when we look at history books, it will be a picture of kamala harris, vice president and by name is carl and you will not see me listed as none of those positions because -- it is what it is.

people can call in and complain about black people but it won't do no good. thank you, get something better on next. -- next time. host: white house efforts to contain a burgeoning crisis over president biden's potential illegal's handling of documents became more difficult after all enforcement sears -- see smart materials -- seized more materials. >> the fbi found six additional classified documents as -- at president biden's residence in delaware, this time from his time as vice president and as his time in the senate. he defended his handling of the situation and said there is no there there. do you agree? >> is on the book -- it is
