all of those talents that she has used against joe biden in the primary, or against people like brett kavanaugh in the senate. taking that and training that on team trump are something that a lot of democrats are ready to see. people are very excited for the most part. >> gillian: she is undoubtably fierce and tough. it is something to behold on the debate stage when she went after joe biden. since she dropped out of the race, kennedy, she has made this concerted effort to rebrand herself. to take the focus off of failed candidacy and come back at somebody who is going to be really a staunch advocate for the racial justice movement. at this moment she has her name on a bill that would potentially band choke holds and no knock arrests, and racial profiling, what you make of that? >> kennedy: i think in the words of joe biden, it is malarkey. she is all over the map. if she is completely inconsistent. she has been on the wrong side of a essentially every issue. whether it is medicare for all coming on the green new deal, or going back to her time as a district attorney and attorney general in cal

phony yesterday, also tried to paint her as horrible for some of her tough questioning against brett kavanaugh during his confirmation hearing. and look, earlier today we heard from kellyanne conway who tried to argue that she was too far left and then also that some of her policies when she was attorney general in california were too stringent. and so the question becomes where is the middle ground and what is the actual messaging that they've landed on. here is what we heard from president trump in the briefing room just yesterday. >> she was my number one pick, i mean, she was -- as they would say, because hopefully they'll start college football, she was my number one draft pick and we'll see how she works out. i was a little surprised, s kavanaugh, she was nasty to a level that was just a horrible thing. >> now, notable that president trump called her his first draft pick. president trump donated to harris' campaign in 2011 and 2013. when asked about that, a top campaign aide said, look, he donated to candidates on both sides of the aisle and then made the argument that, quote, i will not

the senate judiciary committee, kamala harris was one of the i guess strongest questioners of brett kavanaughsome people found it way over the top. i imagine the trauma team will probably remind their voters of that moment. >> greg: i think you're right. it slipped my mind in this new cycle. it's amazing it was a year ago that epstein committed suicide. so many things have happened. we don't think about the kavanaugh experience. she was remarkably vicious. i'm not going to buy this premise that there's going to be a lot of intensive tax. how is she going to take it and she's going to need to be prepared. any criticism leveled at her will be viewed as sexist or racist. she has it going. she's going to have a pretty easy going because it's histor historic. it's been pretty easy so far for her. she didn't run a great campaign. she made some changes. i think she unloaded her sister who ran the campaign and she corrected some of her flaws but she took the right boxes which is why no one was surprised about this so i don't -- i really question the idea that she's going to gird for some incredible a

>> reporter: he also went after harris for his role in the brett kavanaugh confirmation hearings. >> she was extraordinarily nasty to kavanaugh, judge kavanaugh then, now justice kavanaugh. she was nasty to a level that was just a horrible thing the way she was, the way she treated now-justice kavanaugh. and i won't forget that soon. >> reporter: and within minutes of the announcement, the president tweeted out this campaign video attacking biden and harris: >> slow joe and phony kamala. >> reporter: during the president's news conference on monday, a secret service agent interrupted to tell him shots were just fired outside the white house. a camera on the white house driveway-- ( gunshot ) captured the sound and dramatic new video of the shooting scene shows police rushing there, some with weapons displayed. police say the man who was shot, threatening officers and warning that he was carrying a gun, but no firearm was found at the scene. today, president trump left his press briefing without answering questions about why he donated $6,000 to harris' reelection campaigns in 2011 an

now justice brett kavanaugh.o she is pretty good at that it will be interesting to see the degree to which she takes on the attack dog role, the hatchet woman role if you will and let's joe biden float above it. but, in terms of public profile, biden has got to earn this himself. he can't just stay in the basement for the next two months. >> neil: yeah, you are probably right about that. i'm curious, too. these things also judged on style. we can talk about substance. we can talk about people who listen to the kennedy nixon debates on the radio and thought nixon won those who watched them on tv thought jfk won. political lure over the ages. i'm wondering here much has been said that when joe biden does pop out of his house, he sometimes has these tore tore tore russ moments where it sometimes takes him get to the point get size when you get older chris you are lucky if you remember the breakfast you had that day. i'm not going to judge that having said that this could be an opportunity for donald trump to pounce

so for hillary clinton, and more importantly women, who will all remember how she questioned brett kavanaughhatever donald trump chooses to call her, she shores up the democratic vote and that is the most important things you can possibly do. mina, how does it look, the presidential campaign? obviously it is huge amounts at stake for everybody in the world in a us presidential election. how is it seen from the uae? there is interest of course what these elections will bring about and i will speak here as an iraqi actually because biden is remembered by iraqis as somebody who as senator proposed the biden plan, which was to carve up iraq based on very crude sectarian divides, and many iraqis have not forgotten that. so there is a concern in iraq and other parts of the region that sort of foreign policy that looks very crudely on sectarian and ethnic divisions coming with a possible biden administration. on the flip side, donald trump has been very unpredictable so for many people it is almost equal what happens because we deal with the ramifications of what american voters decide. mina, micha

we saw her in the hearings for brett kavanaugh but that's skills, leadership. what about the personal side? can you tell the personal story that speaks her humanity to you? >> i actually want to share a story of 17-year-old organizer who was part of kamala harris for san mateo county. there was supposed to be a rally for her and then she surprised amanda, a syrian background. so when kamala met her, amanda told her the story about how her mother used to be criticized for her accent. when she first tried to apply for jobs. kamala took ten minutes with amanda, you know, she had to be in different places. she's a very busy woman but she took 10 minutes out of her time to talk to amanda and to tell her, one of my favorite quotes of kamala is, don't ask permission to lead. you just lead. and that's what she told amanda. she said, listen, my mother was criticized when she first came to this country. she was krit siecriticized for accent but one of the toughest women. one of the toughest women you would never fact she took ten minutes with a young woman and to tell he

reporter: claiming she is the most liberal senator and calling out her performance during the brett kavanaugh hearings. >> can you think of any laws that give government the power to make decisions about the male body? >> i'm happy to answer a more specific question. >> male versus female? >> there are medical procedures. >> justice kavanaugh, she was nasty to a level that was just a horrible thing the way she was. >> reporter: but records show before he was president, trump actually contributed to harris' campaigns in california. the trump campaign responding this morning saying, the fact that the president donated to harris' campaigns in the past shows he's not a racist as some of his critics have claimed. as for that event today with biden and harris in delaware, we're told they'll be discussing how they plan to work together to, quote, restore the soul of the nation and fight for working families. kenneth and mona. >> ines, thank you. biden's announcement comes after weeks of vetting potential candidates. we asked our political director rick klein for his thoughts on biden's choice. >> ke

nomination and he made that point a number of times he also said that she was very gnostic to brett kavanaugh of course cavanagh now a justice on the supreme court's. his nomination became a real flash point in the u.s. last year when he faced sexual misconduct allegations will allen fisher is listening into all of this so allan donald trump saying that he was. that if this took him by surprise the selection of hours. he would be in the minority on that one. if he's surprised that camel house is a choice that he hasn't been paying attention there's an interesting irony there that donald trump attacks camelot is saying that she's lied about a lot of things she's lied about position on health care about defunding the military about our position when it comes to how much fun should be diverted to the police and then he follows that up by claiming that the obama biden campaign committed treason by spying on the trump campaign which isn't exactly what happened so donald trump perhaps previewing a line of attack which maybe people might begin to talk him out of but we're certainly getting a taste o

maybe a reporter with a brain should ask kamala harris if she thinks breath kavanaugh is still -- brett kavanaugha predator too. you get it, politicians crave power and will say anything to get it. say what you want about trump, but there's something about him that makes these people hate him. he lets you in on it x that's cu. he doesn't pretend he's something he's not, like a moderate for maoists, which is what the media's already portraying kamala as. >> i thought about the real caricature that donald trump is going to try to offer and say that she is a a black radical who wants to destroy the kind of white american way of life and, you know, overrun the suburbs with criminals. that's going to be really hard when you see her there with this sortou of win many awe appearance -- winsome appearance. there she is in a sensible blue suit and pearls and sensible heels. greg: holy crap, so all one needs pearls and sensible heels. thank god i shop only at ann kline. if only there was evidence she isn't so centric. >> i will immediately reinstate daca protection to those young people. believe that when

and that brett kavanaugh vote, which i think you are going to hear a lot more about next week. tom: thundering, to see the darkness last night, the idea that the president failed, which president obama said a few days ago. this president trump go back to morning in america? kevin: i think that behind the scenes there are two policy points that i would make on that. first and foremost, i think you are going to hear a lot about the economy because they feel that that is an issue they can take head on in the biden campaign. secondly, i think you are also going to hear a little more brevity, so to speak, because i think that that is the thread that you just mentioned, that republicans were very curious about, typically they would have anticipated a much more uplifting tone, but, you know, i think the pandemic does these challenging times. is it to how difficult actually measure the impact of these conventions? it must be easier because it is online. do we think it is swaying voters -- less voters than in the past? kevin: if you look at the ratings, francine, they really have been t

that's what they did to justice brett kavanaugh. they did not care about the collateral damage to his family and what they put the country through. they did not care about what they put the country through with their other big hoax -- russia collusion. it is not joe biden, we know joe biden -- he is a transition candidate. successor ins a kamala harris, because just like obama and biden targeted tea party groups with irs, kamala harris targeted tea party in california. she wanted their personal information to harass them while she was attorney general of california, just like obama and biden sent federal agents into president trump's campaign -- into his campaign. kamala harris sent federal agents into the house of a pro-life agent because he had exposed wrongdoings by one of her campaign donors -- planned parenthood. that is very nasty and troubling. what we need to vote in favor for of president trump is what we are getting, one standard of justice for everyone. one standard. not wielding your power to go after your opponents. we

some things about other men and if you look at kamala's actions, look at the way she treated brett kavanaughout law enforcement agencies. this is a sitting senator who was offered some really nasty criticism of brave law enforcement agencies as well as justice kavanaugh himself. just go back to those hearings and i think most people would agree with the president's assessment. howie: all right, now the president as you know, if you pick up a newspaper in recent days, drawing enormous criticism on the situation with the postal service and coming out he doesn't want any extra service for the postal service because he opposes mail-in balloting for the election. even lindsey graham has broken off on this issue. is this a political blunder? katrina: not at all. the president has been very clear. there are issues that we have seen in some states but at the same time this is just another democrat conspiracy theory that's dredged to distract. think about it, we are talking about the u.s. postal service when we should be talking about the economy, when we should be talking about the vice presidential

and saying she had been disrespectful to brett kavanaugh going through the hearing for the supreme court. the president portrays women politically aligned with him skm those who are not. >> i wonder how every day people trump voter not rich people many don't live in the suburbs can't afford to live there. how they'll respond to him in insulting them. that's a question for me. i should ask them. not you. i understand that there's going to be a new bob wood ward book about the trump white house. we have details on that. what is it? >> new details tonight from the colleagues. this book is going to come out september 15. a crucial day because it's shortly before the election. and if you remember his last book which was titled fear. it was damning about the white house and the stories not only about what donald trump himself did but what aids did. and ways they went out of the their way to stop him from making certain decisions or back off certain moves. whether it came to economy or national security. this book is titled rage. we are told. it's coming out september 15. and what's really inte

brett kavanaugh was named the supreme court largely because he has an expansive view of the political power so i don't think -- i'm giving reason. i don't think they are good reasons but i think he should have subpoenaed them but i don't think it was out of any such sort of corrupt motives on mueller's part or bad behavior or fear. i just think that it was a mistaken view of what his obligations were. >> host: i worked on a case he was involved in, and he was marine through and through, no question about that. another member of the audience posed the question it states that you predict the attacks on democracy will increase as we approach the election. what do you expect specifically do you expect them to succeed and if not, why. >> guest: guest co. i think it o with the voting process. our election infrastructure is bad in the best of circumstanc circumstances. i wrote a book about the recount in florida and one of the things we learned in that drama was that unlike many of our peer nations we don't have a national authority. we have elections run by the 50 states and they did it on

the constant performance you describe in the book it's an audience of one, this was brett kavanaugh. but how did you dislodge the? >> is another example. there are so many of them in the last few days. i was struck by the defense secretary's comments that he didn't know trump was going to lafayette square when he followed him to. this is good to be the secretary defense and he followed the president blindly and didn't ask anything. >> [inaudible] >> is the casualness with which they give up the responsibility, accountability, agency. what i write about in the book is the problem where the country has been split into two different realities into the democracy they perform a. i don't mean perform in a statement the actions are addressed to the electorate. they perform for the autocrats and that's what we've seen the republican party do over and over again. probably toomey the most memorable example is the party fallen, but passage of the tax bill. trump's signal of legislative achievements. or orrin hatch has been in congress for 250 years. and another senator said thank you for lettin

they're also people who are grossly unqualified, who barely passed the bar, people like brett kavanaughhas a long history of possibly being abusive to women. just because donald trump puts in a couple judges who may be good on abortion, they will have an affect on many other things. i don't think that's a fair tradeoff. >> and before we lose you, i want to hit you with a little marsha blackburn. are you ready? >> yeah. >> so, they tried to defund them. our military, our police, even i.c.e., to take away their tools to keep us safe. joe biden, kamala harris, and their radical allies tried to destroy these heroes because if there are no heroes to inspire us, government can control us. >> professor? >> which professor? >> i was going to go -- sorry, i had jason earlier in the show. i was going to go to professor greer. you're right to call me out. >> so, senator blackburn is, again, just with donald trump talking points. but i wanted to say something in respon response to jason because he said pro-life. there's no pro-life, it's pro-choice or anti-choice. they're saying a woman does not ha
