in fact i did sit down with andrew williamson, huawei vice president.ing us in it was obvious the company wanted to get out a specific message. i decided to start the interview by asking him quite simply -- here. >> why are you here? connell: yeah. >> well, we've always been open and transparent about inviting journalists like yourself being journalists, news organizations to come visit huawei. there is lots of misunderstanding, lots of misinformation out there about what we do. so it is always great and welcome to huawei when news organizations come to talk to us face-to-face. connell: pick one, i know you're in touch with, you travel a lot. you're back from an event in mexico city. pick one misunderstanding, if you had to say here is something about huawei that the people in the united states generally speaking are getting wrong, what is it? >> i would say that there is a huge misunderstanding about the type of company that huawei is. huawei is a privately owned company. more than that it has very kind of unique ownership structure in which all the em

i sat down with a huawei executive named andrew williamson, one of the arguments he made, not just huawei'sottom line that is on the line. take a listen. >> huawei is actually a big consumer of american technology products. so we are, our procurement budget in the u.s. alone is $11 billion a year. so stock in huawei being interact with technology partners and build relationships with for a couple of decade will mean that they are lost export sales and they can't be picked up by other companies. so that estimate is 56 billion and and that 56 billion includes 74,000 jobs. >> one of the things that may force huawei, they argue they are doing it, rap up their own chip business internally. they argue they saw this coming, always been plan b, they would not give us a key timeline to ramp the business up go out alone without the broadcoms and other partners. that is analysts are looking for. it is still not clear huawei will be able to do that for if it will be able to do that. charles: great reporting. fantastic trip. really appreciate it. folks, be sure to tune in 4:00 p.m. eastern time for more

reporter: andrew williamson went on to say that huawei couldn't be used to facilitate spying even ift wanted to, claiming it doesn't have access to the data in question. you will hear more about that next hour when we play more of the interview on "after the bell" but the real question for huawei just from a practical sense, forget the allegations for a moment, is how long it can survive given the attacks or crackdown from the u.s. government. one of the things that the company executives talked to us a lot about is their so-called plan b. they say they are ramping up their internal chip business, rolling out their own operating system, but there are real questions about how quickly they can do all that if this ban stays in place and they can't do business with any of these american companies they have been used to doing business with for years. that's a real question. we will see how it mraplays out. liz: unbelievable. great job getting behind those doors, especially at this time. the crucial time when it comes to relations between the u.s. and china. connell, we look forward to "af

we were met by an englishman, the huawei vp, andrew williamson.sion of the invitation, huawei had a story they wanted us to hear. my first question's this. why are we here? >> why are you here. well, we have always been very open and transparent about inviting journalists like yourself, news organizations, to come and visit huawei. i think there's lots of misunderstanding, false information out there about what we do. reporter: the biggest misunderstanding according to williamson is he says there's no connection between huawei and the chinese government. now, that brought us straight to the most sensitive of topics, whether huawei can be used to facilitate spying if asked by the government here in china. >> we operate in over 170 countries around the world. many of those countries are now deploying their 5g networks. so we work very closely with those partners to build out the hardware. but at all times, the telecom partners, customers, are completely in charge of all the data. there's no need for us to touch any of the data at all. reporter: ther

what about marianne williamson, andrew yang?ks who again, they look at this as they need to have a moment. so they may be extra risky because they are languishing. so back to baidoa work, part of this is about the median error that is part of this. that's -- the only thing that they thought he did while was him. >> bret: environ, 30,000 feet. are we looking more tonight at the battle inside of the democratic party between the two sides of the party and whether he goes more progressive or grows more centric? >> absolutely. if joe biden shows up, he will be the person to watch. now the joe biden and bernie dynamic is huge but i would also pay a lot of attention to kamala harris. a very strong candidate, pete pe buttigieg will be polished, because that's what he does. he will be someone to watch. >> bret: and thank you panel. when we come back, a different look at the democratic debate. stay with us. ♪ w, this is dope. this thing is beautiful. i love the lights. oh man, it's got a mean face on it. it looks like a piece of candy. lo

bit about some of the innovative ideas coming from other democratic candidates like andrew yang and marianne williamson i believe they both support a universal basic income these are specific policy concepts that according to their studies and their testimony would certainly stimulate the economy and could could even radically change the the the level of poverty abject poverty in this country were people to be able to have a $1000.00 a month extra let's say. matthew it's interesting i think it's not just saying marianne williamson but i think the top tier candidates as well have supported u.b.i. universal basic income but fused it and i think important to fuse it with a guaranteed jobs program you know the dignity of work issue is a central one for the progressive wing of the democratic party and i think that's something that all the candidates now understand they must speak to cory booker has talked about an innovative idea called baby bonds and investment in from the very outset to lift up children of you know of all classes i think tolson gabbert is an interesting candidate in my view she's going to

who will be on the stage tonight and then there are the wild cards that we mentioned, andrew yang, marianne williamson can, they do something tonight to advance their cause, and then there's question about experience. will that matter tonight in terms of -- in the way that t did last night in, terms of who can try to take the spotlight and to really make that work for them. >> you're going have a striking contrast between, for example, joe biden on the one hand and maybe somebody like indiana mayor, south bend mayor pete o buttigiegn the other, somebodyy who ing, this millenial mayor, showing he can drive prress and be the fresh facesh of the party. >> reporter: and so that is tonight's -- the setup for tonight. we'll be watching closely, of course, and we also had an opportunity to talk to many soft voters here in miami who watched last night and who will be watching again tonight. hopefully at 5:00 we'll be able to share some of hat they had to say with you. >> all right. should be another interesting night there in miami. >> looking forward to it. >> thank you, aaron. >> thanks, aaron. >> and we in

. >> what you must watch out tonight, andrew yang and williamson, are they going to say something thathe attention of lots of people? they have strong following on social media as well. let me also say you mentioned all the freebies, it is really interesting, i saw a tweet by senator joni ernst yesterday, i'm curious do the billions in farm subsidies, are those freebies? charles: freebies are in the eye of the beholder. we're not talking billions. 35 trillion for "medicare for all," 2 trillion for clean energy. one trillion for education. all of these are noble roland, but what i wanted to get back to you, before we run at of time, all you guys, south carolina, it felt like the wheels began to come off a couple favorites. biden having some trouble here with these comments that he made and buttigieg is having serious issues trying to run his own town. you said black support is moving to elizabeth warren. it is moving to her from where? >> no, what i said is. you have black women are really looking to see elizabeth warren what she is saying. first of all this is june. for all the folks o

tonight will be interesting with ands like andrew yang marianne williamson on the stage. not conventional politicians. they are coming from the outside and we will see what they have in this debate and where they push this discussion. caroline: andrew yang comes from technology and that was the other area that we have been talking about is breaking up the big tech companies and monolithic companies in the u.s.. will be we stay back in terms of policymaking, cory booker not wanting to name names. >> interestingly, cory booker did name a couple last night in the discussion. i think what you will see tonight is he and others not only laying out their vision for the future, but laying it out in contrast to president trump and perhaps to each other. i think what you will see from the vice president is just that. that is up to him, it depends on what questions he gets asked. what you have got to do tonight, ,o matter who you are well-known establishment candidates making the case for people who don't make the case for what can make that right and what can make that change. for s

marianne williamson and andrew yang. find out which 10 will take the stage together each night. that will be determined by random drawing. there were some who didn't make the cut. notably, massachusetts congressman seth moulton and montana governor steve bullock who i thought had potential in this race. he announced his run just over a month ago. he spoke with chuck todd just after it was announced. >> of course, chuck, i'm disappointed with the dnc. i certainly knew getting in at the time i did would give me fewer opportunities to be on shows with you and others, but i had a job to do. if it ultimately ever came down to choosing between getting medicate reauthorized and getting montana health care versus getting in earlier to try to bump up on another poll, i would make the same choice time and time again. >> i hope it's an invitation for me to go fishing with him. the prime time event in miami will be moderated by lester holt, savannah guthrie, chuck todd, rachel maddow. you can watch on june 26th and 27th here on msnb

fascinating dynamics to your question to michael just now if there is somebody like andrew yang or marianne williamsonthe stage with joe biden. their political experience is totally different. the things they talk about will be totally different. i think that will be a fascinating way to see the nuances in all these candidates' positions and also it reinforces this idea that in a lot of ways this is one of the more pure nominating contests we've seen for democrats in a long time. the simple fact that though not everyone made it on the stage because of the qualifications and thresholds, you'll still have someone like andrew yang share a stage potentially with joe biden. >> michael, 15 seconds of brilliance. i keep thinking about numbness. do you think there is a chance that what the president said yesterday will move the needle of public opinion? >> that's very hard to say. i think at least the public response has been one of incredulous disbelief. i mean, i think people are really kind of like, really? >> yeah. >> but let's see now how this narrative plays itself out. again, what helps the president i

kristen gillibrand, kamala harris, john hickenlooper, bernie sanders, eric swalwell, marianne williamson, and andrews debate touched on a range of issues. we can't show you clips from the debate tonight until it is over, but we will have complete coverage for you this evening at 10. >>> former vice president joe biden scheduled to travel to the bay area tomorrow. his campaign says he will attend fundraisers at private homes in the city tomorrow night. tickets are said to be going for $250-$2800. biden is not scheduled to hold any public event while he is here in the bay area. he is then scheduled to head to seattle. >>> twitter released a new policy on threatenin figures. tweet that violate the terms of use could be hit with a warning label. twitter is not saying of president trump's tweet inspired the new policy but he is off to criticize for tweets that seem to incite violence such as this one were a video show the president body slamming someone with a cnn logo superimposed on their head. >> it is not just a trump, there are political leaders in unstable countries that say things, in tweets, and

kirsten gillibrand, kamala harris, john hickenlooper, bernie sanders, eric swalwell, marianne williamson, and andrewang. joining me now, former democratic senator and governor from indiana, evan bayh. good to see you today. wow it, it seems like a really big stage on either night. what's your first observation on who is paired with whom? >> my first observation is that all these candidates, although they are in the debate stage, it will make it to the first was in iowa because they will run out of money. that traditionally has happened. about half probably won't even make it to the first vote. second, it's hard to break through when you got ten people on the stage. that's really hard to do. my guess is they will try one of two things. since this will be largely party activists who tend to be more liberal tuning and they will move to the left. or they will try and come up with creative ways to criticize president trump because that's what the base of the democratic party is looking for. with regard to the two nights, it's kind of an undercard to the main event. >> harris: really? >> i think so. the f

okay, cool and steve bullock and michael bennet and marianne williamson and andrew yang -- and there's. >>o,nd then, so, you start t like, think your way out of it you're like, "well, do i have to read the book on each 1 of the 23?" ah, because it will be the one that i thought i could skimp on who will have a eakout moment and they'll be like, "that was amazing, denise. she'll be like, "my name isn't denise."

california congressman eric swalwell, author marianne williamson and enterprise andrew yang. how did we get here in they were sorted into two groups. those polling over 2% and one for those who are not. debate organizers hoped to avoid the situation where they were slufterred on the same night. the luck of the draw is luck of the draw. that means four of the five will be appearing on the second night to. talk more about this first big moment of concentrated attention i'm joined by the associate professor and former political reporter covering the 2020 race for axios and some with a fair amount of experience. former adviser to hillary clinton. we are going to start. here's my basic feel being this. generally. what happens is a lot of people are not paying attention. a they think is in political narratives, but a lot of people are genuinely talented politicians like amy klobuchar. jay inslee is a sitting governor. above any fighting or scoring any points are, for people to demonstrate and introduce themselves to potential democratic voters. >> true. we know that the bar is so l

bennet, the front-runner joe biden, buttigieg, jill brand, harris, hickenlooper, swalwell, williamson and andrew our conversation, karine jean pierre and jason johnson. let me start with you. >> yeah. so like it's like if you're going to see a comedy show, like you're going to see dave chappelle and like i don't care with the previous show. i want to see the main act. night two is the one that's going to matter. it's not just because it has some of the bigger names. it has the people who are closest to each other when it comes to the voters they're trying to grab, right? >> let's put those -- there we go. there it is up there. that second night again is bennett, biden, buttigieg, gillibrand, harris, hiken looper, sanders, swalwell, williamson and yang. so you're talking about harris -- >> harris, bernie, and biden. this is really key. bernie sanders benefits because he doesn't have to be next to elizabeth warren, because he is cratering right now. here's his chance to put his contrast with himself and joe biden. but also you've got senator harris, who has also been dipping in the polls and losin

then there are the wild cards,p peo who don't have police kaeblgs appearance and andrew yang, for example, mariann, williamsoneuthor. what will they do tonight to get more attention on themselves, and then the other question, will experience matter tonight? will people who have experience being on a debate stage be able to draw the spotlight to them and make it work for them? >> you're going to have this striking contrast between, for example, joe biden on the one a hand and me somebody like indiana mayor, south bend mayor s te buttigieg on the other, someone who iung, a millenial mayor who is looking to show in fact he can drive progress and be the fresh face of the party. the porter: now joe bide front-runner in the polls right now has said that he is prepared. he told -- his team told nbc news that he's prepared for this generational change question that could come up tonightpo sibly from the moderators, possibly from a pete buttigieg who is on the stage, but doreen and leon, he has indicated that he's studied up on -- on the other candidates on the stage and he's ready to answer any challenges to his past

self-help speaker marianne williamson, john hickenlooper, andrew yang, pete buttigieg, former vice presidentrs, california senator kamala harris, new york senator kirsten gillibrand, colorado senator michael bennet, and california congressman eric swalwell. we'll be bringing you all the key moments from miami and talk to many of the candidates. right now our team of political reporters, analysts and former participants in the process were all watching it unfold here. deep breath here. david axelrod, nia-malika henderson, gloria borger, david chalian, jess mcintosh. also with us, van jones, host of cnn's van jones show, and former special adviser to president obama. finally, cnn political commentator terry mcauliffe. i'm chris cuomo. thanks for being with us. david axelrod, i want to play some sound and talk about a little later on that confrontation. just some quick thoughts from you. >> yeah, i think this was a good night for two new generation candidates, mayor buttigieg of south bend and particularly for kamala harris, the senator from california. i think they took full advantage of the p

williamson. you've got andrew yang, businessman who's got the universal basic intercom. one point he was talking about circumcision policy. there is a chance to see somebody really come out of nowhere and get that google traffic going and get some interest. but i do think because you've got these sort of marquee names, this is the double feature where last night was the matinee, this is the nighttime where you are looking for the big stars. and i think most of that attention is really going to be on biden and harris and buttigieg and sanders. >> so of those four, biden's been struggling a little bit in the polls. the you are seeing some of his losses, some of that going to elizabeth warren -- i'm sorry, bernie sanders. you have seen biden sort of pull back from his initial gains. they stand to gain if the frontrunners lose a little bit. what do you expect from them? >> it'll interesting to see where they focus their attention. is it biden, is it sanders, is it trump. do they both go in the same direction. both buttigieg and biden have been struggling on race lately. you

i'm going for andrew yang and marianne williamson.o one says anything about these candidates, but they have more to put up against trump right now. i can't see anything on him, but i'm seeing everything all over the internet. people who don't have the internet don't know and are gang is yet. yangnto the -- who andrew is yet. get into the yang gang. host: what brings him to the top of the list for you for democrat? caller: he wants to build the economy with a trickle ,p economy instead of being sorry to say, on the trickle down economics -- economy. williamson has the same ideas. you're young. you want your female in the white house with a male. young.want your you want your female in the white house with a male. everybody is wondering who can be trump? well, it's too trump cannot be. he cannot eat andrew yang on all the issues -- he's got 80 some odd issues. nobody's even -- he's not even being put to the forefront. he's going to be in the debate. about him, anything but he's going to be at the presidential debates. he's got a big hal

jong hickenlooper, bernie sanders, eric swalwell, marian williamson and businessman andrew yang.in with steve kornacki. as we look at these lineups and we've had now finally a couple of hours to digest what's going on, what are you going to be watching for these nights? >> there are very diffe

author marianne williamson and entrepreneur andrew yang. so how did we get here? the candidates were sorted into two groups. one of those polling at over 2% in national polls and one for those who are not. by doing this debate organizers hoped to avoid a situation where the lottery would cluster leaving candidates on the same night but the allercast of the draw is the luck of the draw and it means four of the top five polling contenders for the moment will appear on the second night. we'll talk more about this first big moment of concentrated attention on the race. someone with a fair amount experience preparing for big debates, former adviser to hillary clinton. all right. where to start? so here is my basic feeling about this. generally. what happens, a lot of people aren't paying attention and there is this thing that sets in particularly in political narratives of like oh, that person is pulling a 1% but a lot of these people are like genuinely talented and impressive politicians like amy klobuchar. very popular in minnesota. jay inslee the sitting governor. i

andrew yang, marian williamson, these candidates who are introducing themselves to the rest of the country and the rest of the democratic party get a great opportunity higher. this hall behind me is packed with activists, delegates, and local leaders of all stripes. the folks you need to know if you are serious about trying to pursue the presidency of the united states. and they're fired up, there's something special in the air in south carolina right now, it feels like all these candidates know that they have to tap into something down here. the 800 pound gorilla in this race joe biden speaks here later tonight. this is his race here until someone else is able to pry it away from him. >> a lot of this is an opportunity for the candidates to get out there and test the waters and how it could possibly be when it comes to the big debate next wednesday and thursday. that wants them to connect with the south carolina voters, but also to test those grounds for next week. >> it's absolutely true, i just talked to tim ryan, one of the candidates that will be on the debate stage wednesday night. h

kirsten gillibrand of new york, michael bennet of colorado and author marion williamson representing eric swalwell of california. andrewor john hickenlooper of colorado. where the candidates will stand on stage reportedly each night has not yet been determined, so you don't know when your next-door neighbor will be but they split this up. jessica, you said you don't believe this is random? >> you've got biden, sanders, kamala harris and pete buttigieg, and we are supposed to believe this is random? most of these committees, you put your thumb on the scale a little bit and they will want ratings and they want people to tune in. you want to be on the stage with biden, that's the stage where he is the front runner right now although his lead has been flipping in iowa. if you are someone like pete buttigieg, that's a moment to capitalize on with these lesser-known candidates. this is your moment. >> so let's not downplay the fact that senator elizabeth warren has come up to second place in the polling, but we haven't seen the real clear politics average which she is now picking up poll after poll when she is in second plac

two, michael bennett, joe biden, pete buttigieg, bernie sanders, aircraft swalwell, marianne williamson and andrewre selected at random by the democratic national committee. the lineup on the second night is drawing criticism, though, for featuring candidates with much higher poll numbers compared to that first night. >>> california attorney general javier bugh sara filed a lawsuit that would permanently prevent the president from building his wall in california. the suit alleges president trump illegally diverted billions of dollars to fund that construction. he said on twitter, quote, the president's actions are unlawful, threaten our democratic institutions and cause irreparable harm to our state. the president says his plans for the border, however, are moving forward. >> the wall is going up, it's going up rapidly. we are going to have over 400 miles of wall built by the end of next year. the wall is very important. >> now, the lawsuit comes days after the president praised his new immigration deal with mexico claiming it's making a big difference. locals along the border disagree. many say s

marianne williamson, and andrew yang. the democratic candidates debate.in from the performing arts center in miami, florida. >>> good evening and welcome to our spirited audience here across america tonight. we continue the spirited debate about how to tackle the most pressing problems and getting to the heart of the biggest issues in this primary. >> we will talk about health care and immigration, the economy and job and climate change as well. >> before we begin, they may sound familiar. 20 candidates qualify from the first debate. we heard from 10 last night and we hear from 10 tonight. the break down was selected at random. the candidate will have 60 seconds for the answer and 30 seconds for any follow-ups. >> not every person is going to be able to weigh in on every topic, but over the next two hours, we will hear from everyone. >> we love our audience, but we want to ask you to keep our audience to a minimum and make sure you keep to time. we will start today with senator sanders. good evening to you. you have called for big new government benefits

andrew yang, he wasn't asked many questions. maryann williamson wasn't asked many questions.and wasn't asked many questions. and they weren't jumping into the fray much and starting arguments or debates with other candidates, which would increase their speaking time. the one that's interesting to me is buttigieg. he's right in the middle. for him to have had a really good night, he would want to see the numbers where kamla harris is. if he were to have a good night, he would be speaking more, probably in the area that senator harris was in. >> tracking the speaking time used, we are keeping track of the world clouds, the most was trump. candidates mentioned him 36 times. that was followed by health care. the word taxes, climate change and the economy. socialism or socialist was mentioned four times. but those words not by senator sanders. what's your take on that? >> compared to last night's debate, trump was referenced way more. notably so. they wanted to focus on things that their own policies. and mentions to him and his administration were not often by name. tonight, you
