think kamala harris is maybe trying to achieve a different goal than senator tim scott is, both feel they're being political in their answers, all due respect to vice president harris. the structure of this country is based on racism, this country started on genocide, and the trans-atlantic slave trade and the country was built on the backs of black folks who made this country as great as it is, whatever that means. until we recognize that, and specifically in policing, it was built on slave catching. that's the institution of policing was built on slave catching. until we recognize that and see how that has affected everything these institutions have done, we're not getting anywhere further. yes, america is built on racism. >> kamau, great to see you. >> thanks for teaching me how to use the magic wall. >> you were close on the password, wolf blitzer 36, you forgot the special character. can't tell you what it is. sorry, bro. best of luck, see you soon. reminder, so you don't miss the

. ♪ ♪ >> harris: fox news alert with what is now a back-and-forth president biden, responding to senator tim scottg america is not a racist country. critics on the left have gone after the senator for delivering that message in the republican response to the president's address to congress this week. the president was asked about it in an nbc news interview that aired last night. >> no, i don't think the american people are racist, but i think after 400 years, african-americans have been left in a position where they are so far behind the eight ball in terms of education, health, in terms of opportunity. i think the overhang from all of the jim crow and before that, slavery, has had a cost and we have to deal with it. >> harris: however, senator tim scott told our sean hannity last night the attacks on him over his speech reveal what's really behind the left's agenda. >> what the left is doing is siding bigotry with bigotry and they have shown that true motivation has nothing to do with ending prejudice but everything to do with claiming or getting more power >> harris: ending bigotry by basically

historians say joe biden and kamala harris owe a debt of gratitude to mondale for changing the vice presidency. >> scottnt biden and now harris got an important role as vice presidents. >> yes, biden very involved of course in the obama presidency, and we see harris, very involved every day. historians say that mondale really established that. before mondale, vice presidents were just figureheads generally speaking, ready replacements and nothing else. mondale created the modern vice presidency. i do like this clip, because look at the first lady and mrs. mondale. they're not going to be interrupted just because the president is speaking. >>> vice president john nance gardner, who nobody's ever heard of, is more famous for what he said about the vice presidency then being the vice president. what he said is not something i can say on television, but it it's not nice. president eisenhower was asked what vice president richard nixon had accomplished as vice president, and eisenhower said he couldn't think of anything. mondale said one of his biggest failures was trying to talk his boss out of what became

and i give credit to kamala harris for tim scott about america's not a racist country and nobody callsbut remember this is part of what joe biden said, if you don't vote for joe, you ain't black or plantation of the mind. the democrats need blacks to believe that it is own, you only have one choice, right? only one choice liberalism which means you really don't have a choice. if you do choose something other than being liberal, then you are undermining your own blackness. of course, they would never say that to a black man's face, but they do on twitter. >> dana: juan, you have written about this before and talked about it, it is not a new phenomena for black republicans to try to get these labels hurled at them. >> juan: right, but i think twitter was absolutely right to take that down. i think it was offensive. i will say that you've got to understand that if twitter asked to remove abusive language targeting tim scott, we have to be comfortable with the idea to remove abusive language that targets people on the left as well. but anyway, getting back to the speech, thought senator sc

it was going to be moved through the senate by senator tim scott, and kamala harris and cory booker,er is racist, they use that very same filibuster last year to stop ten scottsdale -- greg reform in america. they won was in jim crow last year, but it is this year. he mentioned getting rid of qualified immunity. and last year, have basically done that. i want to and remind you that something that nancy pelosi said yesterday that struck people as odd. >> thank you, george floyd. for sacrificing your life for justice. being fair to call abby to her mom -- how heartbreaking was that -- comment to your mom. i can't breathe. because of you and because of thousands and millions of people around the world who came out for justice, your name will always be synonymous with justice. and now we have to make sure justice prevails and ascended thing. they want what did you think of what the speaker said there? it's not like he was given a choice. he was murdered. >> absolutely disgusting. absolutely despicable. proof positive that the only thing nancy pelosi wants us to pass her agenda. i know i

scott talked a lot about policies. he did say the country is not a racist country. kamala harris about that this morning and take a look. >> senator tim scott said last night that america is not a racist country. do you agree with that? >> i don't think america is a racist country but we have to speak truth about the history of racism in our country and its ex tense tonight. it's manifested by white supremacists. these are issues we must confront and it doesn't -- it does not help to heal our country to unify us as a people to ignore the realities of that. >> dana: is tim scott able to help move this conversation along if she said she also doesn't think it is a racist country? >> you know, dana, i think tim scott has already moved this conversation along and i am sure that kamala harris was up very early this morning denouncing all the folks on the left who were using racial slurs in connection with senator tim scott this morning. i'm sure she is probably still doing that right now because she is so concerned about the insidious effect of racism in this country that it will be eq

would have had police reform in the last congress but chuck schumer and kamala harris made a conscious effort to block tim scott's reform bill. they filibustered tim scott's bill, because they didn't want tim scott and president trump to get credit for it. there is no reason we shouldn't have done it last time. we'll try again. qualified immunity is a very big deal. if you want to destroy policing in america, make sure that every cop can be sued when they leave the house. so there is a way to find qualified immunity reform. take the cop out of it. my idea, along with senator scott, is you can't sue the police officer, you sue the department if there is an allegation of civil rights abuse or constitutional right abuse. we can solve that problem. we can solve the issues if there's will to get there, and i think there's will to get there on the part of both parties now. >> miss robinson, that's his perspective. what do you think of it and what would be yours? >> well, the qualified immunity issue has been, as you say, the sticking point. and apparently it's the sticking point right now between the house and the sena

of the biden administration taking up this issue as well by president harris on "good morning america" was asked about tim scott'somments. >> said america is not a racist country. what do make of the warning about fighting discrimination with more discrimination? v.p. harris: first of all, i don't think america is a racist country, what we do have to speak truth about the history of racism in our country and its existence today. i applaud the president for always having the ability and the courage, frankly, to state the truth about it. what we know from the intelligence community, one of the greatest threats to our national community is domestic terrorism manifested by white supremacists. these are issues we must confront. it does not help to heal a country, to unify us as a people, to ignore the realities of that. the president has been a real national leader on saying let's confront the realities and let's deal with this, knowing we all have so much more in common than what separates us. the idea is that we want to unify the country, but not without speaking truth and requiring accountability as appropriate. [a

scott was very predictable. the nonresponse to vice president harris this morning who reaffirmed the same thing. asked, is america a racist country. she said no, america is not a racist country. uncle "tomala" wasn't trending on twitter. tim scott is a pretty serious guy. he cares about public policy and ideas and wants to see things change. he got into politics for the right reasons. that's not a particularly common trait in the republican party right now. the party is in a little bit of disarray. so they've been spending the last four years or so coming up, it's kind of a misdiagnosis of the kind of trumpian appeal to the working class. they've been working on conservative minimum wages, conservative child credits. conservative wage subsidies and these things have now created an appetite for kinds of things joe biden is putting on. what they could just be doing is working on trying to get their agenda through rather than trying to attack tim scott. he's actually speaking for most middle americans. if you look at how people respond to surveys about the american dream. most black americans and h

hope that the gaggle of media at the white house will ask kamala harris why she killed police reform last summer, bret. keep in mind, tim scott met with her he didn't meet with joe biden he met with kamala harris. what problems do you have with my bill? i will give you an amendment for every problem you have. she got up and would not negotiate because the issue was more important to her than the solution. so i hope the media will hold her to account or at least ask her why we don't currently have police reform legislation. >> bret: harold? >> i think he is right. now is the time to try to find common ground but we shouldn't lose sight at the moment, tonight justice was served. this is not about policing in my mind. what derek chauvin did was criminal, he killed a man. and the overwhelming majority of police officers engaging in policing everyday and put their lives on the line every day to defend and protect us. derek chauvin decided to take someone's life. having said that, the spirit of what trey gowdy said to them i hope we hear from the president and the vice president tonight to reflect not only our grief and are confide
