katie couric. >> caller: great interview. that would be a blast. i think sarah palin would look like a deer caught in the headlights, and i'm sure what did she do for alaska? not that much. they have the highest crystal meth problem. i mean, come on. people are alcoholics. 286 seniors died under her watch because she didn't want to fund the senior homes, so give me a break, nancy, and go home and -- [inaudible] i'm so over you. >> guest: i don't have a poster over my bed. that is the democratic critique of sarah palin. it goes back to her record in alaska which i'm happy to hear, because so much of the create e teak of sarah palin last year had nothing to do with her record in alaska. it's amazing, "the washington post" and the new york times went to alaska, sent teams of reporters and basically interviewed everyone who had something negative to say and never really acknowledging that she had the highest approval ratings of any republican politician in the country at the time that john mccain nominated her for the vice presidency. so, yeah, like an

the us national couric lane centre is predicting there could be up to 25 big storms this year, double—us national hurricane center. all in excess of 39 mph. when they get from comedy storms get names. in the us, the food and drug administration has given emergency authorisation for the use of blood plasma from recovered covid—i9 patients as a treatment to fight new cases of the disease. as part of trials, around 70,000 people there have already received plasma. independent scientists caution that the step is unlikely to be a breakthrough. but president trump said it would save lives. in america, the us food & drug administration has this is a powerful therapy that transfuse is very, very strong antibodies from the blood of recovered patients to help treat patients battling a current infection. it's had an incredible rate of success. today's action will dramatically expand access to this treatment. and i want to thank dr hahn, secretary azar, i want to thank the fda, all of the people that have been working very hard on this. and it's proven to reduce mortality by 25%. our north americ

day china is now approaching 20 $900.00 calories so they've really caught up with where we are in couric intake china has the largest hog courtenay in the world accounting for about 47 percent of all pork productions but again when we look at meat consumption or caloric consumption going forward it's going to happen in countries like bangladesh nigeria pakistan india these are the going to be the big drivers of calories over the next 10 to 20 years heretofore they don't have the g.d.p. rates to expand their meat consumption much like china didn't become a big meat consumer until the 20012002 period when its g.d.p. levels started to rally dramatically. china's hunger full pulque is driving chinese companies to scour the world in search of new production facilities and expertise 'd. i think having that care quark market is very important and that's part of the reason why. now. why they hire smithfield's. america's largest pork producer one i think they wanted access to supply but too from what i've heard from smithfield executives is that they wanted to learn how the american pork operatio

she stumbled in interviews raising questions about her knowledge and experience when asked by katie couricost of them again with a great appreciation for the press, for the media. >> but which one specifically, i'm curious. >> all of them. any of them. >> andrea mitchell reporting for us. thank you for that. tonight our own kasey hunt is goi kacie hunt is going to be on countdown to the vp pick. that wraps it up for this hour. the reverend al sharpton takes over at the top of the hour. that's coming up next on "politics nation." coming up nen "politics nation." second chances. but a subaru can.

her announcement, but then if you remember back to when sarah palin did the interview with katie courict was a tougher interview and he started to see a little bit of those, when that starts to happen, do you think that kamala harris can bring some enthusiasm her way even when there is this debate of whether she is a moderate or a far left progressive? >> it's really interesting. first of all, you get two. first is your vp pick and then your convention speech and everything else you're going to have to earn it and i think the biden campaign should get a big credit for having a flawless rollout in a very, very powerful way, $48,000,000.48 hours online to catch up to the trump machine, so absolutely and then going forward, kamala harris is going to take some serious heat from the other side and thus to be expected. part of the reason is why she is such a good pick is she has been through this process, she's been vetted, she went through her presidential campaign and was ready to walk into it in a way that sarah palin wasn't in 2008 and whether that's fair were not fair for her, it's just

people are comparing it to katie couric's interview with sarah palin. >> the point is because we areetter at testing than any other country in the world, we show more cases. >> the figure i look at are deaths, and deaths are going up now. 1,000 a day. >> if you look at deaths -- >> yes, going up. >> take a look at some of these charts. >> i'd love to. >> we're going to look. >> let's look. >> you can watch that interview on youtube. you'll find me @scottmcgrew. >> thank you very much, scott. trending this morning, this tweet causing all kinds of outrage and controversy on social media. this is from a silicon valley angel investor. he is looking to hire a teacher for a fourth through sixth grade learning pod that he wants taught in his backyard. he is offering better pay than average and $2,000 in uber eats money for any referral that works out. critics say that it is a glaring example of the privilege gap in education. at the same time parents are trying to get to go a system to make sure the kids have what they need as parents are still working. it shows the gap but at the same time

when asked by katy couric what newspapers she read. >> i read most of them. >> reporter: what specifically, i'm curious. >> all of them, any of them. >> joining me now, nbc white house correspondent kristen welker, co-anchor of "weekend today," and susan page, washington bureau chief for "usa today," welcome, both. susan, that's a trip down memory lane. hits, run, errors. what is your take on who is the right, perfect candidate, given his age and everything else that is at stake for joe biden? >> you know, there's never a perfect candidate. you're always engaged in tradeoffs and calculations. and actually, what is more important i think is what this pick will tell us about joe biden, what it will tell us about what he really values, who he listens to, how he makes decisions, because at the end of the day, as you were pointing out in your piece, traditionally presidential candidates, win or lose, on their own. their running mates usually only make a difference on the margins. >> kristen, you've been doing so much reporting on all of this. there are a lot of other players to consider, barack

then she ran into an interview with katie couric and the media kind of pounced immediately after thatnd it changed the dynamic again. i think obviously joe biden and kamala harris will have some cover when it comes to the mainstream media and you guys talk about this a lot. i think we are going to cover this race as fairly as we possibly can. we've asked for both of them to come on either together or separately. all of us i think are trying to make sure we have all sites covered. i don't think this race is set in any way, shape, or form and i think we have a long way to go before november 3rd. in 7 billion new cycles. >> greg>> bret: she's the stepmr of two children. she's married to douglas m hoff, 54. when they met when she was introduced to his children, she brought cookies. so she might have some idea of how to campaign a little bit for hearts and minds. >> bret: when joe biden tweeted out one of the reasons he chose her was a relationship she had with his late son, beau. that in his mind, at least what he said is what solidified his choice. the fact that he gets beyond the first

right in we don't want to have -- nobody wants to have sarah palin in a katie couric a week into this? this is in the about who wins this state or does this subset of these targeted voters. as david said, this person is going to pick up and run big projects, right? joe biden ran the recovery act. joe biden was a big player on foreign policy and in iraq those first two years that i got to sit in the situation room with the two of them. so that's the type of person he's looking for. somebody he can give those big governing projects to. this pick isn't just -- it doesn't just have to be good for august of 2020, it has to work for august of 2021, 2022 and 2023. i think it's really about the comfort level and getting this pick right. >> speaking of comfort level, vice president biden has said he's going to pick a woman. there are several women of color on his short list. as robert alluded to, this is about a personal relationship, a personal rapport not just with the vice president himself but with joe biden and others in the family. how do you think those calculations play into this decis

she stumbled in interviews raising questions about her knowledge and experience when asked by katie couric of them again with a great appreciation for the press, for the media >> but what ones specifically? i'm curious. >> all of them any of them. >> andrea, what are some of the factors guiding biden's decision it's always a consequential one. and how soon with we expect it you usually break the story. >> reporter: well, we certainly hope to. clearly joe biden wants someone who will be a joe biden just as he was to barack obama loyal, ready to take over if needed he is looking very closely at two black finalists. kamala harris and susan rice he also likes gretchen whitmer, especially the way she's been handling the pandemic. and i'm told tammy duckworth who is a great military story there is in the mix. biden has wanted to hold in-person interviews that is complicated by the pandemic some advisers say they need a strong campaigner to add excitement that would be kamala harris. others say go with someone you trust, someone with experience in gover, we've got you on speed dial, andrea thank

and because of these policies, and because of the couric of our president and the administration, andis just the beginning. so i encourage the american people look at the policies. look at the things that have been done and opportunity zones is one of many success stories but really we want to continue and helping those people around america to fulfill their god-given potential but it takes policies such as we have been enacting the last four years. i'm excited about what has been done but excited about the future ahead. steve: scott turner joining you from the white house as the rnc kicks off today, thank you very much. >> thank you, appreciate it, steve. steve: you bet. straight ahead president trump says china has a lot to gain if joe wins. >> they own him. and they want mee to lose so badly. if he gets elected, china will own our country. steve: senator josh hawley says china is on joe's side. he will explain live next. from prom dresses... ...to soccer practices... ...and new adventures. you hope the more you give the less they'll miss. but even if your teen was vaccinated agains

people are comparing this to the nixon or katie couric interview with sarah palin. >> the point is becausee are so much better at testing than any other country in the world we show more cases. >> the figure i look at is deaths. and death is going up now. it's 1,000 a day. >> if again. >> let's look. take a look at some of these charts. >> i would love to. >> we're going to look. >> let's look. >> it is a fascinating interview. i've added a link to it on my twitter feed. you can find that on twitter @scottmcgrew. >>> thank you, scott. so this morning for our "keeping up in the classroom" series we are focusing on a common dynamic for a lot of families, teachers who are also parents. joining us live, suzanne lima, you are a second grade teacher in san jose. you are the parent of a high schooler who is going to be distance learning for the first of the year and president of the ev evergreen teachers association. what can you tell us about the challenges you're facing? what is keeping you up at night? >> on all of those fronts there's something that is keeping me up at night. as far as being
