(snap) we're mejuri, the new luxury. >>> back now, talking about the race in the presidential ra

and there you see jill biden and kamala harris' doug emhoff.t's the first time we have seen all four of together. clearly they are abiding social distancing. they wore masks coming into the room and took them off as they spoke. she moved to making the case against donald trump saying the case against donald trump, mike pence is open and shut. she talked about kids not being able to go to school, homelessness, hunger, covid deaths. she brought up ebola and what she said was trump's failure to take covid-19 seriously from the start. dana bash is joining us. dana, what do you make of this first appearance, somewhat awkward just given the sort of orchestration of it, lack of actually an audience there, other than reporters, i'm not sure who else was really in the room. >> yeah. given the situation, it could've been a lot more awkward. these were two extremely strong pointed speeches from the presumptive nominees of the democratic party. and it is very, very interesting to me just starting with kamala harris the way that she wove in the joe biden me

something that men generally don't worry about in politics but that is not an apparent fear of kamala harris and dougmhoff, and that is progress, but erin, as we should point out, today is day one for the harris train on the vp ticket. >> all right, thank you very much. who follows kamala harris all the way through on the campaign trail. >>> up front now, eleni kounalakis, a close ally and friend of senator harris and i appreciate your time, you say senator harris explicitly told you not to pressure biden and did not want the phone call and made it clear and you did what she asked and two weeks ago, you went rogue, you set up a meeting with the biden campaign. tell me why. >> well, erin, it's great to be with you, i've known kamala for a very long time, it's an incredibly exciting moment for us, out here in california, her friends, her supporters, her colleagues, we feel we have a great ticket, so it is incredibly exciting. yes, so several months ago, when there were people coming together, trying to figure out what do we do, how do we help, she made it clear that she respected the process, respected

>> doug: i completely agree and that's why i think his only choice is kamala harris. paul: really? 's a sitting u.s. senator, she was a moderate and will help her with swing voters and she was air of confidence about her and everybody is either too far left and too inexperienced and real problem on foreign policy issue like susan rice has with benghazi. paul: what about the downsides of kamala harris, she's a coastal liberal? she came out for medicare for all at first. she was at first sort of a green new deal supporter. i agree that she's shown flexibility ideologically but -- but, you know, she's a california liberal. won't the campaign be able to -- trump campaign be able to make hay with that one? >> doug: i think that all of the candidates are prospective candidates and raise real problems. i think she raise it is least amount of problems for joe biden and he's best qualified to govern which you said correctly is criteria. every other candidate has real problems. paul: and you don't think that susan rice who is the former national security adviser for president obama has the sa

. >> reporter: now, kamala harris' husband doug emhoff will be the only family member with her tonighte's been working on that speech since the day she was selected. just a short while ago, joe biden tweeted ahead of her speech saying they say choosing your running mate is the most important decision you're make while running for president. i am confident he made the right choice, he said. >> looking forward to hearing her speech later tonight. let's talk about all of this and more with the former national security adviser the former u.n. ambassador susan rice. she's the author of the book "tough love: my story of the things worth fighting for." the paperback edition is out with an all-new afterword. let's talk a little bit about what we're expecting to hear tonight from your former boss, president barack obama, a man you know obviously very well. here he is speaking about president trump. let me put it up on the screen and i'll read the quote from the former president. he's shown no interest in putting in the work, no interest in finding common ground, no interest in using the awesome

harris. >> absolutely. dougyde, republican strategist who worked with michael steel and eric canter and richard bur in the senate, he wrote a piece on cnn just yesterday, i believe, on their website. sorry to mention the competitor there, but he wrote a piece for them saying that republicans need to drop this stuff. look, the idea that kamala harris wouldn't be eligible is absurd. and you know, reeks of insanity. i mean, it's like a grandfather clause or something. reverse grandfather clause. you've got donald trump's -- one of his parents immigrated to the united states and the other one on the other side it was his grandfather that immigrated to the united states. we're a nation of immigrants. and, you know, as far as the constitution goes, kamala harris is born in the united states. there are some who would argue that it's a much more expansive interpretation when you talk about a natural-born citizen. but certainly you really have to dig deep to find anybody who would van interpretation that if you're born i

doug: i completely agree, i think his only choicee is, har harris. paul: really? a sitting u.s. senator and as an attorney general she was a moderate with swing voters, i think we had a trailer out of her. the other or to less experienced and is a real problem on the foreign policy issues like susan rice has. paul: what about the downside of kamala harris, she's a coastal liberal, she is a moderate but she came after medicare for all at first, she at first was a green new deal supporter. i agree that she shown some flexibility ideologically but she's a california liberal, one the campaign be able to make some hay without one? doug: i think they will. i think all the candidates or prospective candidates raise real problems, i think she raises the least amount of problems for joe biden and qualified to govern which he said correctly is a great criteria.l paul: you don't think that susan rice who is a former national presidentdvisor for obama has the same kind of appeal? she seems to be also somebody that biden has looked at very, very closely. doug: i think lacking

doug emhoff. >>vice presidential candidate kamala harris officially takes her historic step forward on the presidential ticket, but it's a man who posed with her at the end paving his unique path beside her husband, doug emhoff tweeting this with doctor jill biden ready to go is a he was an ever-present plus one on the campaign trail as his wife ran for president taha. a quiet guy. a cheerleader when needed active on social media as mister kamala harris. >>and sometimes the unscripted husband, i in a security scare last year at a campaign event a protester got this close to harris. the female moderator got in between then one of the 3 men to charge and dragged him away was and haas a look on his face unfiltered an unmistakable and when her presidential hopes ended he was their source of comfort where it happened on in that i think you can i don't like. >>you know. on modern husband now waiting to barely charted territory this is only the 3rd woman vice presidential nominee and so he will be navigating train that we haven't really seen in the recent history. i don't know for ready for a first lady >>act

wears masks and the event ended with the two couples, joe biden, jill biden and camillkamala harris a husband doug taking the socially distant photos together. they didn't shake hands, no hugs. the event was supposed to signal they are trying to follow every protocol that is being given by public health officials and you're right, thekamala harris donald trump the same way joe biden has been doing the last couple months and not only going after him on public health side of this but also importantly on the economic rescission the united states is on. i thought one quote that she said sort of stood out and it sounded like the kind of message you would be saying over and over again. she said just like the inheritance that donald trump got, he drove the economy straight into the ground. so clearly this is a team that wants to draw that contrast and we actually just got word from the campaign that tomorrow biden and harris are going to be getting a briefing from public health officials and then they're going to be speaking afterwards together in delaware. this obviously, is a contrast from the presiden

his wife jill joining him on stage as well as senator kamala harris and her husband doug. they celebrated with supporters in their cars at a safe distance outside, the fireworks in the sky over delaware. they were both aware of the crises in this country, the pandemic, the economy, the fight for racial justice. they told us they would unveil a new pandemic strategy on day one. and one of the questions we asked, would you shut down the country again if there's a second wave and if the scientists said that's what we need to do? if you're sworn in come january and we have coronavirus and the flu combining, which many scientists said is a real possibility, would you be prepared to shut the country down again? >> i would be prepared to do whatever it takes to save lives because we cannot get the country moving until we control the virus. that is the fundamental flaw of this administration's thinking to begin with. in order to keep the country running and moving and the economy growing and people employed, you have to fix the virus. you have to deal with the virus. >> so if the

harris wearing her mask. so that is a window of what we might see shortly when they walk out on stage. and doug spouse of kamala harris and jill biden, of course, the spouse of joe biden will be with them as well. we don't know how it's going to play out where everyone will be. but of course we're going to be watching this closely, looking at body language. and as abby pointed out, there is going to be some warmth between the two as well because they have a relationship that goes way back. >> they were friends before they were opponents. and they have this tie because of beau biden and his relationship to kamala harris. i will say in terms of what is lost because of the period in which we are in, kamala harris is an exuberant campaigner. i'm sure if they had their druthers, the biden campaign would like to take full advantage of that out on the stump. she's also a good social media candidate. she's kind of hip, she's cool. and that will benefit them as well. but, that is one thing that i was thinking is sort of a shame. because i was there when joe biden bounded out on the stage in springfield

doug? >> hi, harris.started when a good year employee based in topeka, kansas, gave a local tv station what he alleges with a screenshot of goodyear's diversity training seminar. in it, he alleged they banned political expressions like maga hats and blue lives matter while permitting slogans like black lives matter. and in support of lgbt pride. the president got wind of it and tweeted, "don't buy goodyear tires. they announced a ban on maga hats. get better tires for far less. this is what those radical democrats do. two can play this game and we have to start playing it now." goodyear's stock took a tumble down about 5% for the week. that could also be because the pandemic has hurt new car sales and people are driving bliss, meaning less tire wear. the president are threatening remove them from the presidential limousine. >> i would swap them out, based on what i've heard. we will see what happens. >> in a statement, goodyear denied that that screenshot was indeed part of its diversity training seminar.

fireworks literally as the former vice president and his wife jill and his running mate kamala harris and her husband dougion hall and watched fireworks above them here in wilmington. there was a crowd honking their horns, waiving american flags in the air. it was the setup of a drive-in movie theater, if you will. they organized several of these across the country. the biden campaign knows they have a lot of work to do. the republican convention begins next week in washington. there is a sense of confidence inside the biden campaign at how this virtual convention was pulled off. so going forward into the next chapter, joe biden is not getting on a bus, a plane, a train, a boat as many democratic nominees have in years past. he's going home to wilmington. he'll be doing interviews but the next weeks are uncertain because of the pandemic. the biden campaign now believes that plays to their advantage. christine and laura? >> jeff, thank you so much. >>> of all of the testimony alls, none stood out like the one from 13-year-old brayden harrington. he met him at a campaign event in new hampshire. he told him

women are being considered to be biden's running mate and that includes kamala harris and also susan rice. >>> nasa snaupts doug hurley and one behnken are back on earth this morning, their capsule today splashing down in the gulf of mexico avoiding the tropical storm along the florida east coast. gio benitez has the story from houston. >> endeavor has returned home. >> reporter: after 64 days and 27 million miles, a successful splash down just off the coast of pensacola. >> we're honored and privileged. >> reporter: the drama of return, a spacecraft traveling at 17,500 miles per hour slowing dwn to just 15 miles per hour before splashing down. and the tense moments after reentry. >> reaching temperatures of around 3500 degrees. >> reporter: during the expected loss of communication -- >> good morning, dragon endeavor. >> reporter: the day starting on a sweet note from the churn of astronauts doug hurley and bob behnken. >> we love you, daddy. we can't wait to see you. >> reporter: the astronauts will be reunited with their families in houston with a big welcome home party at ellington air force base. this was

harris poll, mark.. so, mark, welcome. your old compadre, dougoen, told me last week that harris was the best choice by far. do you agree? >> i agree as well. i also thought that harris would be the choice and that she was the logical choice given all of the facts and circumstances of the campaign and, in fact, i wonder why it took him an extra couple of weeks to make that rcoice.he [laughter] paul: well, let me ask you two particular points about that. one is she's a coastal california progressive, there's no question about that, and i guess the issue is for the campaign is she going to play in wisconsin, in michigan, in pennsylvania, in those swing pstates where middle class vots are there to be had? >> well, the question is -- isn't whether she will play, the real question is whether joe biden will play. i don't think she'll be a major factor in those states one way or the other. i think she's a major factor in unifying the party, getting behind the choice, creating historic moment, but whether or not those swing states, working class voters a

it will just be biden his wife jill and kamala harris and her husband doug inside today.nal guests other than that. it is just the press and them waiting for their remarks. you can see behind me there are supporters. at least some spectators have been lined up outside trying to get a peek at the action. what is interesting about this, this is not something we've seen at biden's events during this pandemic. there have not been a crowd of supporters coming out even if they are not allowed inside. that is happening today, which does indicate something is different. there is more enthusiasm, now that biden made his vp pick official with kamala harris. or they're just here excited to get a sneak-peek at the hometown hero, joe biden and his running mate kamala harris today. that is an interesting change and shift we've seen in the past few months at some of these events. jackie: hillary, thank you for that. i want to bring tom bevin back into this as we're waiting for them to step out to make these remarks. tom, something you said earlier, sort of struck me, is that kamala harr

his family along with kamala harris and her husband doug. had traveled out to a campaign battle ground state of pennsylvania going to near scranton. biden's home town and for the first time, guys, you got a contrast with an election day that is 74 days away. a contraste contrast on the iss. watch. >> my economic plan is all about jobs. dignity. respect in community. today we can and will rebuild our economy. >> we will create 10 million jobs in the next year. we will hire more police. we will ban sanctuary cities. >> during the dnc, president trump called in to hannity to counter the dnc message in realtime and he took to twitter writing. this. in 47 years joe did none of the things of which he now speaks. he will never change. just words. next up, as you mentioned, ainsley, they will travel to charlotte. some rnc delegates. there will be some in person as we learned from ronna mcdaniel the rnc chairwoman and we learned from her yesterday when she was talking to bill hemmer they hope for most of their speeches to be live a contrast from what

harris' family. how her husband doug and stepchildren are gearing up for the spotlight.e's what joe biden had to say to doug. >> doug, you're going to have to learn what it means to be a barrier breaker yourself in this job you're about to take on, america's first second gentleman. >> someone who knows what it's like to take center stage in a presidential campaign all too well, sarah palin joining us live for an exclusive interview. >>> also, the new mask showdown in the sunshine state. a florida sheriff is banning his deputies and visitors to his office from wearing face coverings. first let's say hey to ginger. >> yes, more than ten inches of rain in one day in texarkana, arkansas. they had the emergency calls coming out. we've got more flash flooding to talk about. it was the rainiest august day ever in texarkana. manassas park outside of d.c., roads collapsed. you had water rescues like you see right there. those roads collapsing cut off 400 people from getting out. all right. quick look at the flash flood watches from boone, north carolina, you'll get more rain toda

expect to see now the vp pick, senator harris as well as her husband doug emhoff holding virtual grass root events, holding targeted virtual meetings and virtual events talking to different minority groups. all of those things they are laying out now. we don't know yet if we will see them on the campaign trail just yet? we are 73 days out at this point. as you mentioned it has been largely virtual, their campaigning so far. do you sense there could be a lack of personal connection that could end up hurting the campaign? >> it's somethiinteresting thaty that. because as we have seen in the past few months joe biden's lead in the polls have really skyrocketed against the president. and he has not traveled besides here in delaware and right next door in pennsylvania. he has not been out in the country too much. of course the first person to say that they regret not being able to campaign in person is the candidate himself he is known as a tactile politician. i have seen him at hundreds of events where he spends so much time on the rope line trying to connect with voters. of course he does

kamala harris unified the democrats for expose weaknesses? here to break down the numbers, mark. welcome. dougold me last week, she was the best choice. do you agree? >> i urge you agree. i also thought she would be the choice and she was the logical choice given the facts and circumstances of the campaign. i wonder why it took a couple of weeks to take the choice. paul: she's a coastal california progressive. i guess the issue is, is she going to play in wisconsin, pennsylvania, the swing states where middle-class voters are there to be had? >> the question is whether she will play. the real question is whether joe biden will play. i don't think she will be a major factor in that one right or the other. she's a major factor in unifying the party, creating historic moments but whether or not those swing states are going to swing to joe biden will hit be his job. paul: the other claim, as a minority woman, she is going to energize minority voters in a way they weren't energized four years ago. he saw that in places like detroit and philadelphia. what about this year? >> i think she will definit

during that time she would meet her now husband entertainment lawyer doug emhoff on a blind date. >> the kamala harrisporter: he was there by his wife's side through her presidential campaign and kamala harris taking on the role of momala to his children cole and ella. >> she loves it. she's always wanted to be a mom. i mean, she actually wanted to have a lot of kids, and she has quite a few godchildren. she has her wonderful niece. kamala has always loved children. >> reporter: emhoff could become america's first second gentleman. his friend and spouse of former democratic candidate pete buttigieg lending his support. >> look, i think the best thing you can be as a political spouse is loving and supportive and compassionate and patient. it demands a lot of you, right? your spouse is the star. >> reporter: as for harris' friends, no expectations here. just pure excitement for their childhood friend. >> oh my goodness. i'm just so excited, and, you know, overwhelmed with joy, and, you know, just so proud of her. >> i just started crying. i'm still getting a little choked up about it. i am so proud of h

harris to joe biden's ticket? >> oh, absolutely. when you have the fact that doug schrock rated her as the most liberal senator in the senate, it is incredibly troubling. and when you look at her record, i mean, this is clearly the complete socialist takeover of joe biden by adding kamala harris to the ticket. and i think that once you dig into the record, you find that there are some serious problems. they are very much far to the left. we can take the case for example that she cosponsored bernie sanders single-payer medicare for all that would cost $32 trillion. she also opposed a bipartisan usmca, something that was a better trade deal that would benefit many of our states and our farmers and our manufacturers, and as well what she has mentioned it she would eliminate the ban and make sure that they put a ban on fracking. so that is critical, because -- >> martha: joe biden had to walk that back, they are saying that it would be current leases, that would exist, but no new leases on fracking, that is clearly a vulnerable area for them, because a lot of families

doug. he came out, grabbed a cup of coffee and went back inside. we have not seen harris outside her home here in d.c. i know jeff showed you this photo before, but we know that she did speak to former vice president joe biden today, as you saw in that picture. they talked over video chat. he informed her that she would be the nominee. and really just a moment in time right there. we're in the middle of a global pandemic. you have the democratic nominee informing his running mate via video chat. and of course she's making history as well as the first person of color to be -- female person of color to be nominated for vice president, anderson. >> so they're going to appear tomorrow together. do we know anything about how that's going to go down, what the event is? >> right. so first tomorrow we will see them together in person. they are going to give remarks in wilmington, delaware, where former vice president joe biden is located. so she will make her way to delaware. they will give remarks together. we're told that that's going to be about restoring the soul of the natio

shannon: on this issue of her record and law enforcement, doug schoen, known well to our audience and democratic strategist, writes this, "harris' record could help solidify his position among centrist voters and moderate republican voters, many of whom have disaffected from trump and are leaning towards biden but disheartened by the far left calls to defund the police." something her background in law enforcement could be very appealing to some voters out there. >> i'm sure that it would be, but at the same time, you've got to also understand how people view senator harris, and some view her as a disingenuous flip-flop or, the 2020 hillary clinton, if you will, and thinking about the positions of each candidate and what the vice president can offer, usually the two people at the top who we really consider their values and what they consider, but in this case, joe biden needed to bring in a black woman. we saw a letter from a hundred media officials and folks in the democratic party who said they were not supporting his candidacy if they don't get a black woman, and in this case, especially considering the fact the democratic p

doug schoen, thank you very much. good to see you. we don't need to think too hard about how a vice president kamala harris would abuse her office. that is because msnbc gave us a little preview of that earlier today. >> someone, once biden takes office, is going to be tasked with going through the entire administration with a fine tooth comb and basically expunging all of the trumpists. fantastic at finding those people and removing them. she can help us impeach some of these judges, the underqualified judges that donald trump has pushed in. >> governor huckabee: we don't have to take his word for it. back in january 2019 senator harris said if she was in the white house, she would use the doj to pursue criminal charges against president trump and told npr, i believe they would have no choice and that they should. joining me now, rudy giuliani former new york city mayor former u.s. attorney for the southern district of new york. how unprecedented and damaging would it be for aa biden administration to criminally prosecute a former president? >> we would become a banana republic, governor, i mean, biden has nothing left. she's a

harris together for their first joint campaign event in wilmington, deleware. effectively launching the 2020 democratic ticket. their spouses, jill biden and dougoff are also expected to be there. and it comes as we learn biden long believed har

doug, i know how supportive he is being at this moment. i expect her to take on donald trump in a way that only kamala harris can. there's another candidate in this race and it's the democratic party. and we saw the party -- i felt in terms of how -- how representative it is with the roll call. i wish every speaker had been identified by name and i wish there were no elected officials in the collage. i say that as a wife of a u.s. senator, but i think she's the continuation, she's the embodiment of that theme. she represents the future of our country in so many different ways and i don't mean to make her an emblem. she is her own person and she -- as i said, she's wicked smart so i'm looking forward to the speech that i'm sure she's had a direct hand in it. she's been working on it ever since she became the nominee. >> you used wicked. >> she's bilingual. >> i have a daughter in rhode island. >> calimari, have her send us snacks. >> i didn't know that. >> i had no idea. i grew up ten miles from here and i had no idea it was the calimari capital. it was amazing. you got to see the entire country. aside from politi

harris officially takes her historic step forward on the presidential ticket. but it's the man who posed with her at the end paving his unique path beside her. husband dougtweeted this with dr. jill biden, ready to go. >> let me introduce the woman -- >> reporter: he was an ever present plus one on the campaign trail as his wife ran for president. the quiet guide. cheerleader when needed. sometimes the unscripted husband. in security scare last year at a campaign event, a protester got this close to harris. the female moderator got in between, then one of the three men taking charge and dragging him away was emhoff. the look on his face unfiltered, unmistakable. and when her presidential hopes ended he was her source of comfort. >> we're a good couple going in and i think we came out of it like, you know -- >> ah. >> reporter: a modern husband now waiting through barely chartered territory. >> this is only the third woman vice presidential nominee so he will be navigating terrain that we haven't seen in any recent history. >> i don't know if we're ready for a first lady named doug. doug? >> he's the most fully actualized person you ever met. >> reporter:

harris to joe biden it suddenly feels like change. you suddenly feel like this is a change election, and so she's adding an awful lot to the biden campaign right now. >> i want you to listen, doug, to what congressman clyburn told me last hour. >> i would not be a bit surprised if he had chosen pence in order to try to one up joe biden. >> okay, so you just talked about that. he said it. i asked him why, and he said because, you know, he likes to pull stunts basically. i'm paraphrasing here. is there a historical precedent for this? do you think it could happen, and who would trump pick? would it be nikki haley? who? >> i think it's too late in the game, don. yes, it could happen. when george mcgovern in '72. i'm not sure if somebody like nikki haley who has a political future would want to be tied to donald trump whose poll numbers are sinking. i don't know who would want that spot, so i think he's stuck with mike pence, and pence really brings nothing to this. i think trump thinks he lights up the evangelical vote, maybe some conservative catholics and the like. but it creates a stale atmosphere around trump, which means trump has to rely on the three debates with joe biden a

stimulus talks and much more let's welcome in seth harris and douglas soltzaiken president of the american action forum. gentleman, nice to see you good morning dougn with you as you look towards washington and the stimulus talks before we get to the jobs picture, what is it going to take to get a deal >> i really don't know how to answer that question i actually thought they'd have a deal by now. they seem to remain quite far apart. core issues on business liability on the republican's side, the ui benefit and the funding for states on the democratic side just haven't really seen much movement and so when the core issues aren't pivoting closer to closure, there's not a deal on the table. >> yeah. seth, do you see it the same way? are we going to come to a deal within the next 24 hours do you think? >> i'm more optimistic than doug is, but i think that we're in sort of an unprecedented time. the president and the senate republicans simply cannot leave washington and go out and play golf without responding to the needs of the american people there are small businesses that are closing permanently. there are american workers who are losing their job

woman, senator kamala harris, a woman of color, a prominent senator, elevating her to the national ticket what do you think that does to galvanize women of color. i'm thinking senator doug jones of alabama said i'm here because suburban women and black women put me here because they turned out in my special election. what do you think kamala harris on the ticket means to joe biden's prospect with women? >> you know, willie, it was interesting. senator harris and the interview i had with her on friday, said by joe biden picking her, she called it an audacious move but said he moved this move forward d by decades. i know a lot of black women voters and organizers i've spoken to were calling for a black woman, we're thrilled to see the choice of senator kamala harris because of the combination of her qualifications but also livid experience as a black women. we know when black women vote they do it not only for themselves and their households but for their race, community and country. so when black women vote, it pushes us forward as a society. and so, you know, the choice of kamala harris is something we're already seeing in some polling that is energizing some voters. i
