jim clyburn: well, it was very clear in that first meeting. pamela brown (voiceover): they developed a close relationship and bonded. so in june of 2019, biden came calling for clyburn support, as did 21 other candidates at the representatives famous annual fish fry. after, clyburn rushed home to talk to his wife, emily, who was very sick. jim clyburn: and she said to me that night, she says, i don't care how many people are running. i don't care how many are close friends of ours. if we want to win this election, we better nominate joe biden. and this was in may 2019. she passed away in september. [music playing] pamela brown (voiceover): just over five months later-- jim clyburn: i'm voting for joe biden. van jones: you got to give clyburn credit because it's been easy to say, well, we're just going to go for cory booker, he's black. we're going to go for kamala harris, she's black. black voters said, who can stop bernie and who can stop trump? and in that calculation, it was joe biden. and nobody saw it coming. jeff zeleny: that really seale

one of joe biden's closest allies in congress is jim clyburn and he had something over on cnn that were very telling. watch this. >> what i do think is that she ne needs -- if i were advising her, it is good for her to be out among people responding to questions and sentiments. one-on-one discussions with people in the media will not necessarily connect with the voters. i want to see her connecting with voters. you know, if you goes on one-on-ones sometimes there is is a word that is uttered that can be used in a negative way. >> lawrence: unbelievable. >> brian: senior democrats. outing her. >> lawrence: don't say if. don't say if. you are advising her. he is directly responsible for her being the pick by joe biden. he is most senior black man in leadership right now even though hakeem jeffries is there in name only. we know who is running things. ask penancy pelosi, he is advisg her. if she does an interview, they can press her and find out where she stands on the issue. don't pretend, if i were advising her, he is advising her. >> brian: two people did damage to her, it is bernie san

[cheers and applause] and i know that their work will live on through hours -- ours. and finally to all the members of cbc, over the years we have worked so closely together on so many important issues from addressing the crisis of maternal mortality to expanding access to small businesses to addressing the freedom to vote, and i think you always for the partnership and your leadership as a proud i will say still member of cbc. [cheers and applause] for more than half a century everyone knows the congressional black caucus has served as the conscience of the congress and of our nation, and as a proud former cbc member i know firsthand america revised on the leaders in this room not only for a conscience, but for a vision. this cbc has always had a vis

jim clyburn: it won't be on him. it would be on us. evan osnos: if she loses in november, i think, part of biden's legacy will be entwined with that agonizing period. could he have left earlier, maybe he should have forged ahead, but i don't think it will ever completely console the fact that he had to pull up short of the goal that he had been aiming for. joe biden: i made my choice. now the choice is up to you, the american people. god bless you all. and may god protect our troops. [music playing] now the white house has been in touch with law enforcement in kentucky, which has been using several resources, including at least one helicopter, canine units, as well as a drone in order to search the area. for now, authorities have not determined a motive behind the shooting, but they do believe that the shooting was planned. and while there were no fatalities, at least five people were critically injured. some of them suffering gunshot wounds to the face and across the chest. in the meantime, schools are expected to be closed on monday.

[music playing] welcome to the whole story. >> i'm anderson cooper on the campaign trail, former president donald trump has touted his experience and achievements from his first term in office and has vowed to continue with what he started if he's elected again. but where does he actually stand on some of the key issues for voters? in this election? cnn's abby phillip takes us through what the trump white house did when it came to the economy and reproductive rights, as well as immigration, foreign policy, and the state of democracy and she looks at what h

i mean, nancy pelosi and jim clyburn and party leaders, they are not a cult of personality in the sameltimately they were able to persuade biden and use leverage. but i gave 100% of the credit to the democratic party and and 0% to biden for stepping aside at such a late hour. i don't know that it damaged harris. i mean, in some ways, having this abbreviated campaign, maybe americans don't need these, like, two—year—long campaigns. but, you know, he should have seen the writing on the wall sooner. and what's happened this year with the election because of all of that, because of the focus on biden and his age and then the speculation about whether or not he would pull out, it's made this campaign, even more than usual in america, focus very much on the personalities of the candidates. yes. and people now looking at kamala harris as well as a personality, maybe, ratherthan a policy platform. how much does it matter, especially when donald trump is so vague often about policy? are voters making these decisions based on who they think will be a better steward of the economy? on who they th

meanwhile, jim clyburn is not a fan of kamala doing more media interviews and here is why. >> one-on-ones with people in the media, will not necessarily connect to the voters. if you go on these one on ones, you drill down into questions until there is a word that is uttered that can be used in a negative way. >> jesse: dana, so trump says there will be no third debate appeared is that a negotiating tactic? or will there be no third debate? >> dana: i mean, i don't -- i have to take him at his word when he says no third debate, i would say no third debate p or maybe he will change his mind. i don't know. >> jesse: he has never changed his mind before. >> dana: on this one may be not be at for him, that's probably fine because all of the movement, democrats, they are enthusiastic, not, kamala curious, trump people are in it to win it in here for you. she is raising a ton of money. they are going to have a cash advantage going into this. and trump will keep doing interviews. whereas she may or may not. so it's not that people aren't going to hear from trump, but maybe he doesn't want the s

jim clyburn was right.he believes something different and if we let her talk too long the truth will come out. they have coached her into these policy positions to get her elected but she keeps talking she's going to forget and she going to say what she truly believes. so it's powerful when you see a video of her saying what her form positions were or what they are today and pick those clips that you displayed i think are incredibly powerful. i think everybody in this country should see those. >> sean: we will try to get it. if people want to download and share it with her friends and family is a public service, it's on hannity.com. we appreciate you being with us. by the way may be we will do an investigation. how much does it cost a family to go to disney these days and why is disney's stock down in the sewer? just a thought. coming up donald trump just announces plan to stop taxing overtime pay. we have the details and kamala harris flipping and flopping and flailing and lying on fracking. that will haun

congressman jim clyburn of south carolina had this advice for harris and engaging with the press. >> what i do think is that she needs to do -- if i were advising her. i think just to say have one-on-one discussions with people in the media will not necessarily connect with the voters because, you know, if you go on these one-on-ones sometimes it drills down into questions until there is a word that's uttered that can be used, you know, in a negative way. >> harris: well, he spoke more words we've heard from her on the specifics how she will lower prices at this point. that was interesting. ari. >> yeah, here is what i wish the white house press corps and political press corps that follows her would understand. a pattern they set in the campaign will be the patterns in the white house. the white house press corps is creating the precedent for her to ignore them if she wins. their failure to hold her to account and demand interviews, their failure to go on the news each night and say day 11 where kamala harris won't answer questions and cover her in that tone is how you force a candid

to handle immigration joining me now to discuss this is democratic congressman jim clyburn of south carolina. congressman. thank you so much for joining us. this afternoon let's jump right into immigration. this is harris's first visit to the border as a presidential candidate. her last visit was back in 2021 when she was given the mission of tackling good causes of migration. congressman, why hasn't she visited in three years well, thank you very much for having me. >> i have no idea question. i do know she was first given this job. she went to the countries of origin to try and find out exactly how weak but tackle this problem from the very origin of it. rather than the aca that the border. now, while she was attorney general of california, a border state, she dealt with this issue. she served two terms as attorney general. so she's been to the border many, many times. so i don't know that this isn't the border is all you need to do. >> to tackle this problem, you had james lankford and senator murphy from republican from oklahoma senator murphy, the democrat has not been connecticut worki

jim clyburn was right. i mean, she's she believes sht. ging differen and if we let her talk tooome o. long, she the truth will come out. they have coached into thesecy t policy positions to get her elected. but if she keeps talkingget , she's going to forget and she's going to say what she truly does believe. so wha is powerful when you seea a video of her saying what her formerer sayin positions wer what they are today. those clips that you just playedtodahose, i think are incd powerful. i think everybody in this country should see thoseibly po well, we're going to try and get it. if people want to download and sharnt te it with their fris and family as a public service is on hannity .com. reciat >> governor, no. we appreciate you being with us. by the waybeins., maybe we'll dn investigation. how much does it cost a family coso to disney these days? and why is disney stock down in that sewer? just a thought. anyway, coming up, donald t trump just announced his plan to stop taxing overtime pay. we've got the detail taxins. f and kamala ha

i agree with jim clyburn. get out there and answer questions, talk to people. ashley. >> i mean speaking of not answering questions, i don't think david actually answered your question, which is and that's where i said trump shouldn't do it. >> do what though, what's the he should not be doing? >> stoking the flames should talk, keep talking about in cats and dogs cats and dogs it's actually the effect of what he's saying. >> you mean the reality is that trump's words are incredibly powerful. we've seen this before when he came down that escalator and he called mexicans rapists, then he became the president and he's signaled to white nationalist he you know, racial tension was at an all time high in people across america were feeling threatened by what the president was saying. their lives were feeling polling threatened by what the president saying. and that's what we're seeing right now. and i think the sad thing is to silence of republicans. they're not rebuking what the president saying they're not disavowing with the presence saying and the effect of his w

. >> i want to bring in congressman jim clyburn of south carolina. when we last spoke, it was the afternoon before president biden's address to the nation where he sort of talked about his thinking and through tloou his weight behind kamala harris. it feels like 11 years ago but before we dive sba the headlines and the speech, just tell me how you feel about the last six weeks. >> very good. we had a great convention. we came out of there with much more momentum than we ever dreamed of, and we have had two real solid weeks. i have traveled quite a bit. georgia last weekend, national democratic baptist convention earlier. the weekend before i was in upstate new york. i have been to indiana. people are really, really hopeful about our future and they are engaged in this process. i do believe that they are going to turn out in great numbers and make kamala harris the next president of the united states. >> she is to the people who know her well, like yourself, she's showing everyone who you know. to the people who underestimate the her in both parties,

if the vice president goes and follows the advice that jim clyburn told me when i debated lindsey grahame opponent on that stage but the american people. those are the people you want to talk to. tell them what you want to do and paint a contrast with the opponent and why they will fail to do those things that you want to do. if she does that, she checks all the boxes, because ultimately it's about speaking to the american people and listening. joe biden in that last debate gave so many openings there. you don't want to cram so much data in your head that you're trying to remember the data and you're not listening for the opportunity. donald trump is going to give you plenty of opportunities. you've got to listen, take advantage of those opportunities and knock it out of the park. >> there's a reason not many sitting vice presidents have won the presidency in history. it's kind of an awkward position. you've got to be your own person and loyal to the person who made you vice president. what is her task with regard to joe biden? how much does she need to distinguish herself from him? >> j
