7:00 am
we just started to build. later in the morning, a lot of folks headed into the city, pride this weekend and the treat truck. >> don't forget the treat truck. treat yourself! >> we're back at 7:25 with the live update for you. good morning good morning gloves off >> i'm going to now direct this to vice president biden. >> senator kamala harris' fiery turn at the democratic debate making it personal with joe biden over civil rights. >> she was bused to school every day, and that little girl was me >> challenging the former vice president on his record. and just ahead, highs and lows of the night and the question of the morning, did the primary just get a major shake-up. to russia with laughs? president trump and vladimir putin meeting overnight. their controversial exchange over russian election interference.
7:01 am
>> don't meddle. >> what the president is saying about that moment morning. new clues, a mysterious disappearance of a college student in utah. the search enters day 11 we're live with the very latest. those stories, plus, red flag that deadly shark attack in the bahamas raising concerns that beaching here at home here ahead of july 4th. and do more. fan safety at every major league ballpark now coming from capitol hill. and fever pitch. >> who's going to win? >> excitement builds and so do temperatures in paris as team usa gets ready to face-off with france at the world cup today, friday, june 28, 2019. >> announcer: from nbc news, this is "today" with savannah guthrie and hoda kotb live from studio 1a in rockefeller plaza and good morning, everybody.
7:02 am
welcome to "today," nice to have you with us on a friday morning. >> good to have you back good work down there, and good to see you even if it's on two hours' sleep. >> i can't believe eight hours ago i was in miami and here we are. last night the debate, our top story. a much different feel on night two with four of the top democrats taking part last night. former vice president joe biden center stage and at the center of repeated criticism including that pointed exchange with senator kamala harris. complete coverage. we start with our chief white house corners hallie jackson. good morning. >> reporter: good morning to you, savannah. we expected this debate to heavily feature the front-runner joe biden, and it sure did, although maybe not in the way his team would have wanted. biden was front and center, but so were his vulnerabilities as senator kamala harris made very clear and personal in what's arguably not just the most dramatic moment of the debate but the entire primary season so far. >> a local decision --
7:03 am
>> reporter: it's the most explosive exchange of this democratic primary yet. >> i'm going to now direct this at vice president biden. >> reporter: senator kamala harris confronts vice president joe biden over working with two sec segregationist senators two decades ago. >> i do not believe you're a racist and i agree with you when you commit yourself to the importance of finding common ground and i also believe and it's personal and i was very -- it was hurtful. you also worked with them to oppose bussing, and you know, there was a little girl in california who was part of the second class to integrate her public school, and she was bused to school every day, and that little girl was me. >> reporter: the audience stunned into silence with biden forced on defense. >> mischaracterized my position across the board. i did not praise racists, that's not true, number one. number two, if we want to
7:04 am
litigate this campaign on who supported civil rights and whether i did or not i'm happy to do that. i was a public defender. i didn't become a prosecutor. >> reporter: within moments harris' campaign tweeting this photo of the senator as a child. the caption "that little girl was me" and image framing the marquee moment in a contentious debate. >> candidates, please -- >> guys, you know what? america does not want to witness a food fight they want to know how we're going to put food on their table. >> reporter: harris the most breakout moment and 9 biggest target, biden. his younger rivals repeatedly made the case for new leadership. >> joe biden was right time to pass the torch to a new generation of americans 32 years ago. >> i'm still holding on to that torch. >> reporter: making a point to promote his record alongside a popular party favorite, former president barack obama. >> president obama did a heck of a job. >> reporter: pointing out how
7:05 am
aggressive their policies should be, big differences on health care and all unanimous on this. >> raise your hand if your government plan would provide coverage for undocumented immigrants. >> reporter: the pdent pouncing on that stance tweeting from the g-20 summit in japan, how about taking care of american citizens first? that's the end of that race. and on iig, millennial mayor pete buttigieg -- >> to say it is okay, to suggest god would smile on the division of families at the hands of federal agents that god would condone putting children in cages, has lost all plans to ever use religious language again. >> reporter: the sharpest attacks saved for the man these candidates hoped to replace. >> what is the greatest national security threat to the united states? it's donald trump. >> trump is a phony. trump is a pathological liar, and a racist, and that he lied to the american people during his campaign.
7:06 am
>> reporter: so today the candidates are getting back on the campaign trail and that includes joe biden who is set to deliver a civil rights speech group to go to chicago and speak with those folks. biden's sources inside the campaign are pushing back on reports there was a freakout moment, if you will, among staff given biden's performance, describing the atmosphere as remarkably calm. savannah? >> hallie, thank you. former democratic senator claire mccaskill served with many and she's here with us. good morning. >> good morning. >> about last night. that's the theme of the morning. what did you think about vice president biden? he came in as the front-runner. do you think last night hurt him? he certainly took some shots. >> no question that it was not his best night. he had a solid performance. but kamala, she was -- she brought it. i would put it in context, though. this was the opening curtain on
7:07 am
a very long drama. and while i think kamala certainly assured he's going to be in the final group of people on the stage debating come end of this year, i think we can't assume that joe biden can't recover or that now it's a done deal for kamala harris. >> senator, here's the thing. there seems to be a different narrative emerging about joe biden. everyone knows barack obama's number two, but also here's the senator who has a complicated relationship with bussing. he has this, this relationship with segregationists he worked with while in the upper chamber. do we think that last night moves the needle, or do you think this is a narrative that will start to perhaps manifest itself in polling? >> if you look at the votes in the democratic primary, nothing is more important than the african-american vote and the youth vote, where you see growth, quite frankly. what happened last night? some of the younger candidates go after bernie to try to grab
7:08 am
some of that youth vote and you saw kamala harris go after joe biden trying to reassure the african-american community, hey, i'm real. you guys need to get with this. i can be not only the second black president in the united states but the first woman president of the united states. >> the dynamic in the primary, whether a republican primary or democratic primary, is always things that happen in the primary may later come back and haunt in the general election. did you see anything on the stage that concerns you as a democrat on those grounds? >> it will be interesting to see how this plays out because kamala harris said after the debate that when she raised her hand to lester holt's question about private insurance, she thought he was referring to her own. he used the word "their" he thought he meant hers and not saying all private insurance should be outlawed. that going to be something here. there's 150 million people in this country with health insurance at work and are not as excited about giving that up. >> senator warren staked her claim on those grounds the night before.
7:09 am
>> yes. obviously, that's going to be one of the big debates in this primary. should we do away with all private insurance in this country and make it illegal as bernie and elizabeth think we should do? or should private insurance still be an option for those people who still want to provide insurance at work and get insurance at work. >> quickly, who else had a good night last night? >> mayor pete had a pretty good night. frankly i think one of the reasons joe biden didn't meet expectations because all the candidates were pretty damn good. you know? i maybe shouldn't say that on morning tv. i apologize to all the parents out there, but they were all -- >> they're going to wash your mouth out with soap. >> i'm going to see this glass as half full, as long as it doesn't get too personal. if it does voters will react. what we saw the last two nights is a lot of strong candidates to take out the mess in the oval office. >> senator claire mccaskill on the democratic primary. thank you, appreciate it. >> you bet. breaking overnight,
7:10 am
president trump sitting down with russia's vladimir putin on the sidelines of the g-20 summit. the first meeting since the end of the mueller investigation and president trump raised eyebrows with how he handled the russian interference in u.s. elections. nbc news correspondent keir simmons traveling with the president. he's in osaka, japan, this morning. good morning. >> reporter: good morning. the white house confirming this morning the russian president, president putin, did indeed invite president trump to moscow next may if he agreed to that, and the white house says that he has not accepted the offer. it would be pretty stunning, because next may would be just six months before the 2020 election, but it was president trump's comments on election meddling with president putin sitting right next to him that is truly raising eyebrows this morning. asked if he'd warned russia not to meddle in the 2020 elections president trump appeared to jokingly reprimand president putin.
7:11 am
>> don't meddle in the election. >> reporter: mr. putin laughing along. it's the first time the two men have met since the conclusion of robert mueller's investigation blaming russia for sweeping and systematic election interference in 2016. mr. trump praising putin, who has repeatedly denied meddling. >> we have had a very, very good relationship and we look forward to spending some very good time together. a lot of very positive things are going to come out of the relationship. so vladimir, thank you very much. >> reporter: earlier the two men chatting ahead of the family photo of all the gathered leaders. president trump standing beside saudi arabia's crown prince mohammed bin salman. the summit taking place amid a backdrop of international instability. iran, north korea, climate change, all big issues here. a fist pump with india and
7:12 am
japan's leaders couldn't conceal divisions on trade. the united nations secretary-general determinant ly, diplomatic. >> to what extent do you hold president trump responsible for disagreements among here at the g-20. >> it is very important that that dialogue is foreseen before china and the u.s. >> reporter: those crucial u.s./china talks set to take place in less than 24 hours. today president trump warning america's security and intellectual property must be protected. a renewed dialogue on trade, but will there be a deal? back to that meeting between president trump and president putin. it lasted between 45 minutes, and an hour, and they talked about arms control, about iran, venezuela, ukraine and syria, but it was one agreement that may be criticized. the white house says they agreed to improve relations. savannah and craig? >> keir simmons in osaka, japan, thank you. two big rulings from the supreme court. one was a blow to the trump administration plan to put a citizenship question on next year the census form and pete williams is at the court for us.
7:13 am
pete, good morning. >> reporter: good morning, savannah. the supreme court rejected the trump administration's claim for why it needed to put a question about citizenship on the census form that goes to every u.s. household next year. it left the door open for the government to try again, but there may not be enough time for that. >> what do we want? >> to be counted. >> reporter: immigrant groups cheered the decision. a big win for them and 17 states who said asking everyone who gets a census form if they're a u.s. citizen would discourage migrants from responding resulting in an under count. >> we have a victory. we can stand proud and sure that every single one of is will be counted. >> reporter: required by the constitution every ten years, the census determines how many members each state gets in the house of representatives, and how much money states get in federal grants. for densely populated states, the citizenship question could make a big difference in the
7:14 am
results. >> it would be a sad appearance if people said, well, since that's on there i'm not going to be counted, because it means so much in terms of who we are as a nation. >> reporter: the ruling gives the government another chance to come up with an explanation for why it needs the citizenship question, and that will start another court battle. the census bureau claimed it needed to start preparing the forms by the end of june, but president trump tweeted that he has asked government lawyers if they can delay the census until the supreme court is given more information. >> can you imagine you send out a census and not allowed to say whether or not a person's an american citizen. >> pete, another major decision as mentioned from the court yesterday. tell us about that one. >> reporter: right. this involved two cases from maryland and north carolina and in those cases the court said it's not for federal judges to weigh in when the states draw the maps for their congressional and legislative districts and heavily favor the party in power. this was a 5-4 ruling with
7:15 am
conservatives in the majority saying that the court has no authority to reallocate political power among the major parties. if this decision had gone the other way it could have led to changes in who controls congress and the legislatures. >> key decisions there. pete, thank you. lots more to get to on this friday morning including new pressure on major league baseball to extend protective netting at all stadiums. league-wide. this comes after a number of alarming incidents where fans have been injured by foul balls. nbc's gadi schwartz is in chicago with more on that. gadi, good morning. >> reporter: good morning, craig. the white sox, tigers and pirates, some of the first teams to pledge for more netting at their stadiums stretching as far as the foul poles as some lawmakers are calling for more to be done to protect fans like the little girl whose skull was fractured during a cubs/astros game last month. this morning the pittsburgh pirates, the latest to extend
7:16 am
netting in their stadium announcing plans to extend nets to or near the foul poles at the stadium. they join a growing list of teams that have been announcing changes including the tigers, nationals and white sox following a number of recent injuries to fans hit by foul balls. it was a foul ball straight at a 2-year-old girl in the stand and looks of horror for many became the rallying cry for more protective netting. this morning the lawyer for the family saying the ball struck with such force it fractured her skull. >> bleeding in the brain. there's swelling. she sustained a seizure episode. shortly after she was discharged originally and, of course, readmitted for the seizures. >> reporter: since the incident albert almora, jr., who saw his line drive hit the girl has become one of the first to call for action. >> i want to put a net around the whole stadium. >> reporter: now congress is getting involved. senators co-writing a letter to major league baseball commissioner thursday stating, mlb and every team should
7:17 am
expedite plans to extend netting to further protect fans. >> bellinger rifles a foul. >> reporter: injuries as other stadiums continue. a teen in los angeles hit in the face. >> i'm not the only one at dodger stadium that's gotten hit with a ball. >> reporter: last year a 79-year-old woman killed at dodger stadium as well and these incidents leading parents and kids across the country to say, enough is enough. >> watching that last little girl get hit was traumatic. >> reporter: for those bringing gloves to the game the recommendation of extending netting to at least the ends of the dugouts is a good enough. >> you shouldn't detract from the game. it's never going to be totally safe. >> reporter: now, the mlb's recommendation last year to extend to the dugouts after the death at dodger stadium got all 30 teams onboard, but injuries continued. so far this season the league hasn't weighed in whether they'll ask for the netting to be pulled back even further. >> gadi schwartz in chicago. thanks. time of the morning to check in with dylan. she's in for al. what's going on in the forecast? >> good morning.
