that's jay inslee's big idea.nbc news, iowa. >> lucky us, joining us now, nbc news correspondent harry smith, himself harry, welcome. a new nbc news poll found that the third most important issue for democratic voters in 2020 is climate change. governor inslee wants to make it number 1 and then when you get yourself down to republicans, it's a much lesser priority. >> right. >> can he use this to get himself to the top seat? >> he sure has devoted a good portion of his life to this. and you hear him talk. he speaks about these issues in a very informed way. in a very passionate way. >> personal way. >> from a personal way. especially, when you think about how serious it actually is, lots of other issues swimming around out there. he is the one with the clarion call like no more than the green if you deal, we've got to act now. do this quickly, or else. >> so is there a problem in the back that all the other candidates accept the reamiowe reality that -- reality that this is important? others say healthcare is more

you have jay inslee.e said he was the first leader to create a public health care option in the u.s. let's listen to that first. >> i'm the only candidate who has passed a public option. and i respect everybody's goals and plans here. we have one candidate that's advanced the ball. >> what's the deal? was mitt romney the first to do it? this was generally true but requires a lot more nuance and context. jay inslee signed a law that put into place a public option. advocates of a pure public option, said this didn't suffice. the measures that inslee put in place were cost controls and beefing up a state exchange and making sure everyone did get health insurance. the bill does call it a public option, it might not really pass the sniff test when it comes to what advocates would call a pure public option. >> we talked roe v. wade. we talked health care. immigration, top of mind, as well. amy gloklobuchar stating that t 2013 immigration bill would have lower the national debt significantly. listen to what she

we have jay inslee with one of the biggest applause lines all about president trump.e biggest threat to the security of the united states is donald trump. >> the suingle issue candidate breaking away from issue to land that line. jay inslee was responding to a question that was asked about the greatest threat to the u.s. delawa blasio was the only one say russia. >> how do you play politics? you maximize your differences, minimize your similarities. what governor inslee decided to do is to maximize his world view as it relates to president trump. the question about national security, that is an important question. that's a serious question. and he decided to break rank with his more traditional environmental answer he would typically give to say trump, the president of the united states, is the number one national security threat. it landed and it landed well. the man is running in a competitive campaign. if you're going to win in a democratic primary, you have to say things that connect to the heart of people and it was evident his answer connected to the heart of th

washington governor jay inslee spoke about the massive wealth gap for american workers. >> it iss not right that the c.e.o. of mcdonald's makes 2,100 times more than the people slinging hash at mcdonald's. >> stephen: (as inslee) "you know, the workers slinging hash on the flat-top, with two sunny-sides on rye. hi, i'm jay inslee, and i have never stepped inside a mcdonalds." ( cheers and applause ) "with adam & eve on a raft. amy klobuchar tried to set herself apart from trump. >> the president literally went on tv, on fox, and said that people's heads would spin when they'd see how much he would bring down pharmaceutical prices. instead, 2,500 drugs have gone up in double digits since he came into office. instead, he gave $100 billion in giveaways to the pharma companies. for the rest of us, for the rest of america, that's what we call at home "all foam and no beer." >> stephen: if that's a metaphor you frequently use, senator, then, as we say back in south carolina, "i'm a shrimp sandwich in a thunderstorm." ( laughter ) every candidate lit up when it came to the subject of health

jay inslee doing an interview right before tonight's debate. a beat exclusive.ou for being here. >> thanks for bringing truth to america. >> i like that. so look, most candidates don't even do interviews in the few hours before. we get the benefit. i think it's fascinating. what's in your mind right now? >> a couple things. i want the story of florida that's being inundated with sea level rise which is also the story of our hometown and mine of seattle which is climate change is ravaging my state. forest fires have given us the worst quality in the world. we have to make the climate crisis the top priority of the united states. >> do you pivot if you get a question about something else and that's your priority? you'll run to that issue? >> not necessarily. i'm hopeful we have climate change questions. i've got a second story. i'm a governor that's succeeded. i've got the highest minimum wage. we had the greatest teacher pay increase in the united states. i've passed the very first public health option in the united states. speeches are great. plans are great. ac

that's jay inslee's big idea. harry smith, nbc news, ankeny, iowa. >>> good monday morning, a rough night in san antonio, houston, southeast texas, a lot of people up in the middle of the night with these photo storms rolling on through. the houston area is getting a little bit of a break now. san antonio, the worst is exiting your area but right over the top of victoria, texas, and as we pan out, it's going to be a wet three to four days here from st. louis through kentucky. it's been raining on and off it seems like forever in areas of southern ohio, and now it's raining in west virginia. for today, we could get isolated severe storms. watch out around d.c., baltimore. southern jersey, areas of delaware, richmond, we're not going to see tornadoes but we will be watching wind damage, maybe small hail. here's an idea of how many areas are dodging the rain drops late today. this morning, it's hit and miss and scattered. summer like pattern with the afternoon storms, anywhere from nashville through areas of kentucky

change. >> governor inslee, this one is to you.ou have staked your candidacy on climate change. it is first, second, and third. you set it is all the issues. let's get specific. we are here in miami which is already experiencing flooding on sunny days as a result of sea level rise. parts of miami beach and the keys could be underwater in our lifetimes. does your plan save miami? >> yes, first by taking away the filibuster from mitch mcconnell, to start with. we have to do that. look it, look it, we are the first generation to feel the sting of climate change, and we are the last that can do something about it. our towns are burning. our fields are flooding. miami is inundated. and we have to understand, this is a climate crisis, an emergency. and it is our last chance in the administration, next one, to do something about it. and we need to do what i've done in my state. we've passed a 100% clean electrical grid bill. we now have a vision statement. and my plan has been called the gold standard of putting people to work. but the mo

. >> jay inslee asked you to participate in a climate change debate. there's been a lot of criticism that there wasn't enough talk on climate. obviously jay inslee wants to talk about it more. >> first of all, you know, understand in fact green peace said the two best people in this field on climate are me and jay inslee. and so this is something i really want to talk about because jay's a governor, i am a former mayor. we have records when bush would not join then it was the kyoto accords. i joined with a bunch of other mayors and said we need to lead on this. so i have a long record on saying not that this should be a separate issue, that every issue we talk about from our ag policy to our department of transportation, even to our military procurement supply chains, everyone should be done with a green lens because this is an existential threat, and every single -- if i'm president of the united states, every single department and agency will have to have a climate. i agree that whatever the minimal amount that we talked about is absolutely unaccepta

you know, jay inslee had four minutes and 52 seconds of speaking time. co cory booker, 10:55., we always strive to make sure that everybody gets roughly equal amounts. and that's certainly something we talk about with all the networks. and i didn't look at any of the -- i just got the data late last night and so we're going to process that and have a conversation. one of the biggest challenges, i think, with moderating a debate with ten people is you got a lot of people raising their hand. i do want to make sure that whether it's governor inslee or anybody and everybody on the debate stage, we're always striving to make sure that they have the opportunity to weigh in on the critical issues. >> i understand thest not easy. no one is suggesting for a second it is with ten candidates up there on the stage. some of the headlines you're seeing this morning talk about the leftward prism now in this debate. there was a leftward tilt in some of the policy discussions last night if you're talking about medicare for all, doing away with private insurance, julian castro who suggested dec

governor jay inslee of washington state.e joins me and my colleague chris jansen from miami right now. governor, thanks for your time. you spoke the fewest words on that debate stage last night. do you -- do you think you made the most of your moment? >> yes, very efficient. i got the most punch with the fewest number of words. yeah, no, actually we thought it was a good night because we had a chance to make sure people saw that i was dedicated. i think uniquely, to solving the climate crisis problem. i made it clear that i have a unique position, which is i believe it has to be the first priority of the united states. it has to be the organizing principle of the next administration. and that is the only thing that's actually going to get this job done. and that was twinned with an opportunity to introduce myself about the really significant progress i've had on progressive issues in the state of washington. for me, it was a good night. >> let me talk about something amy klobuchar said. it's a moment a lot of people are watc

inslee was trying to distinguish himself from what he did as a lawmaker, as a governor in his state tory to get legislation passed and laws put in effect that would help women. and then we saw it was taken and it was distorted and twisted. and it worked for klobuchar. >> i guess in politics life isn't fair. i do think we see a lot of manufacturing moments and they're not going to be as organic and as comfortable but they're going to happen. >> what was the most effective not manufactured moment because i can tell. but they're also very organic moments. what resonated the most? >> well, i thought it was interesting that governor inslee was able to really lay out his vision, explain to voters, talking about how it format isn't great for really explaining your biography to people who aren't familiar with you. he did a very good job of saying, look, i'm all about climate change and other things as well, and he used his five or six minutes well. same thing about mayor de blasio. he was clearly prepared with a plan to make a name for himself and contrast in particular with beto o'rourke. >>

when inslee said our biggest threat is donald trump.nd that to me still is what is driving voters and still was not touched tonight. the reason some people reacted positively to de blasio, because you saw another bully up there. he was kind of invading other people's spaces. cory booker had his strength. the reason people have not gone after to this point biden is because he is seen as the anti-trump and it will backfire at this point until he's not. so to me that is the big thing, and it was not addressed tonight. this is not an issues campaign. this is who is the bully that can beat the bully? and i think interestingly enough booker showed a certain strength there. even de blasio. even though i found him annoying also. he cut through. and i think that is the driver. it's not issues. it's not universal health care. it's not a woman's reproductive rights, as important as that is. what we have lived through all these things before, we've lived through iran, we have lived through korea, we have lived through issues on health care. we have

last year in washington, governor inslee, 70% of seniors chose pedicure advantage.ing to seniors were going to take it away. >> elizabeth warren and bill de blasio want to do it, saying that they want to end private insurance. >> a message that is its political suicide. republicans will spend a billion dollars communicating to the american people what it's going to do to them, huge anxiety, the number one issue. >> you heard from john delaney who in his summation in his first debate said he thinks has party should stick to fixing the problems that need to be fixed and then staying out of the way of private enterprise, the free market system. he seems frustrated because you heard, he said if you go down the road of ending private health insurance, it will be political suicide for democrats. shannon. >> shannon: as new york city mayor bill de blasio told me earlier that he thinks they should go big and progressive and do it but john delaney is the other voice. ed, thank you very much. they're going to hear from the trump campaign, their reaction next. this is not a be

governor jay inslee is here. let's test his take. and you don't have to wonder what the president thinks. he was watching and live tweeting on his way to japan. our lucky night, or top of the morning here in new york city. let's get after it. all right. half the candidates who qualified for the first debates have made their opening statements to you, if you watched. some even made them in spanish this evening. question is, were any speaking the right language to win over democratic voters? let's get to our primetime primary with elaina plott, sabrina siddiqi, and a man named mark preston, if i have it right. again, i love the high-minded talk. i don't think it's what it's about when we get to those things. these are contests with winners and losers. who won? >> i would have to say julian castro won. >> why? >> all he had to do, as anybody at the bottom was break out. all elizabeth warren had to do was tread water. he was the person who accomplished the exact thing he needed to do and then some. >> okay. siddiqi? >> i think both castr

joining me now from miami is washington governor jay inslee.king a few minutes. >> thank you. >> i see you got an early start heading to miami. i just want to read this headline. climate change is the major theme of your campaign, and this was a headline in "the new york times" a couple of weeks ago. honestly it's the question i'm wondering. i climate change is catching on with voters, why isn't jay inslee? >> we haven't had the first debate yet. i'm still introducing myself to voters and i am proud to carry this flag of being tclimate change candidate because it is clear we have to have a president who will commit the united states to making this the number one priority of the united states. and it has to be the organizing principle for the next president, for three reasons. one, the science is clear on this. we just don't have much time. and donald trump can tweet, he can say wind turbines cause cancer all he wants. but we know they cause jobs. we know this science is clear and nonnegotiable. you just -- he can't repeal the law of gravity or

joining us now is washington governor jay inslee. thank you very much. how much sleep did you get? >> just enough to get up and be with you this morning. worked out great. >> fantastic. that's the perfect amount. let me ask you, we have the chart about speaking time. who spoke the most, who spoke the least. cory booker got more than ten minutes of speaking time. you only got four minutes, 52 seconds. is that frustrating for you? >> well, look, things could have been a little bit more equitable, but i was able to deliver a message that will make -- and i was able to talk a bit about my progressive record. i'll tell you the thing most concerning to me is we're in miami and a couple of blocks from here going to be under water shortly and really are. we really need to have more time to review and discuss the climate crisis. more of the candidates have to be given an opportunity and requirement to do that. so i'm very hopeful that we can have a deeper discussion of the theme that 25 years from now people are going to look back and realize we need to focus on that issue. i hope we find a

joining us now democratic presidential contender washington governor jay inslee.et's start on the issue of immigration. we just learned that the acting cbp commissioner is resigning. what's your reaction to all this? >> my reaction is we need to follow what we're doing in washington, which is to continue to confront the inhumane, incompetent, reckless behavior of the president of the united states. i've been fighting him on immigration from day one. i'm proud to have been the first governor to stand up against the muslim ban. we have now sued him and won 22 times in a row in part on his callous indifference to the suffering of young children, in part because of our excellent attorney general bob ferguson, and now we have to get another president so that we can deal with the humane issues on the border, so we can adopt comprehensive immigration reform, and so we can get a path to citizenship for our dreamers. that's what we need, and i'm ready for that job. >> day one, if you're president, how do you deal with the actual situation in which there continues to be an

i thought he did a great job, inslee. >> at the end, didn't castro say adios to donald trump?pretty good line. >> it was more of an implicit contrast with the trump and the trump administration than going after the man directly. every democratic primary voter already believes that trump is an existential threat to democracy and maybe more, so they didn't necessarily have to do that, but i was on the hillary campaign in 2016. one of the biggest problems that we had was a larger segment of the electorate really feeling like the parties were the same, really feeling like there wasn't much of a difference, which in my mind seems so out there, i don't know how to start undermining that but we weren't able to do it in 2016. that's got to happen now. >> outsider versus insider thing. listen, i spent a lot of time in red states and red counties. i've still been going to the homes of trump voters. i still think that there was a rebellion in both parties last time. it was a bernie sanders got 22 states, almost half the states you know, 40-plus percent of the vote and there was rebellion

if you're jay inslee or michael bennett or anyone at that level, how on earth do you prepare for this evening and how do you keep it from going over the edge and being remembered for all the wrong reasons on your way out the door? >> well look. you're someone like jay inslee, i think he is going to try to create as much contrast as he can between himself and who he shares the stage with. specifically around climate change. that is an issue he has been trying to own and no one's plan goes as far as his to date. and so he will be able to own that issue. i think it is similar with other candidates that if they can carve out a lane for themselves either on a specific policy issue that may be where they can shine. i want to talk about warren a little bit, because, yes. she -- the next person on the stage is beto that maybe has a chance to go toe to toe with her a bit. initially, this looks as though she drew the short straw. but i think that she definitely, this gives her an opportunity to just shine unopposed and own the stage and she will have plenty of opportunity after this to go head

so all the aocs of the world, the jay inslees, jim ties throat. "you know what?y shouldn't be a candidate, he doesn't take this seriously." >> harris: iv right? >> josh: for democrats, i think they are absolutely right. there's a huge component of the electorate where this is the single issue they care about the most. it is a huge barrier. if you are a democrat and you are interested in issues, ultimately he is not your guy here. he has had years to navigate this one is. what he has is that he is a "electable" democrat. i'm not sure the climate is right for that. >> harris: we will stay with biden. i bring up the g.o.p. because if they are not careful they will have to go up against several plans that might actually be in the middle ground, and it will be theirs. emily, when you look at joe biden, not really at the sweet pot of some of the stuff going on in the candidate's race right now. didn't go to the california democratic convention. he had another event in ohio, but something that was missed on the calendar. we haven't seen as much of him as we see of some

we're joined by washington governor jay inslee. welcome to the show. glad to have you here. >> yeah, i wish you were here. great fish. >> well, i am hungry. thank you for rubbing it in, governor. i appreciate that. you made it to the debate stage, but it seems your campaign is having a little bit of trouble getting off the ground. do you think that the south carolina experience can be a turning point for you? >> yeah, i got to tell you, as you know, i'm the candidate who is saying that we need to make defeating the climate crisis the number one job in the united states. i was just talking to the mayor of columbia, steve benjamin, who was telling me about all the damage his community is suffering because of the tremendous precipitation events that have washed out their canal. millions of dollars of damage. so this is something that americans across the country are understanding. people's homes are burning in california. their fields are flooding in the midwest. they're being inundated here in south carolina. so, yeah, i think it is resonating. i'm start

but there was a strength to even inslee.e he was ready to tackle donald trump and physically probably could do it. you had people on that stage that had substance, that had passion, that were ready to go. so i'm not afraid as donald trump as i used to be. i think this party might be getting its act together. >> this is not donald trump's first election. everybody saw what they saw last time. they saw the name-calling during the primary debate. you obviously didn't see any of that. tonight donald trump called people names right to their face. and so i think people have seen it, and in a way they may be exhausted by it. so you may -- >> that's a good point. >> so you may need something else this time to take on donald trump. you can't fight the last war against him. so what will it mean? will it mean somebody who is cool and measured and not willing to go there and we're just not there yet. >> thing is a central question which is how do you deal with donald trump, and will he have more trouble with a candidate who seems unboth

governor inslee. >> the biggest threat is donald trump.stion about it. >> congresswoman gabbard? [ applause ] >> the greatest threat we face is that we are at greater risk of nuclear war than in threat. >> economic threat and china, but the major threat is what is going in the mideast with iran. >> one word. slimmer than what we are going. >> the existential threat is climate threat. we are have to confront it before it's too late. >> climate change. >> nuclear proliferation and climate change. >> china and climate change. >> china without a question. they are wiping us economically. >> russia because they are trying to undermine our democracy and they are doing a damn good job of it and we need to stop them. >> thank you for that wide variety of answers and i mean that. i mean that. that's what this debate is about. this is the best part of a debate like this. congressman o'rourke, special counsel robert mueller's report outlines potential criminal behavior by president trump. house speaker pe lossy is publicly and privately resisting any

i'll ask presidential candidates and governor jay inslee to weigh in.lus president trump has a new paint job in mind for air force one and the color scheme sure does look familiar. in june, here's how to enjoy our huge aussie steakhouse dinner. first, get your choice of soup or salad. then choose an entrée like our center-cut sirloin. add not one, but two amazing sides. and top it off with dessert. this aussie abundance starts at just $14.99. hurry in now! if you have moderate to thsevere rheumatoid arthritis, month after month, the clock is ticking on irreversible joint damage. ongoing pain and stiffness are signs of joint erosion. humira can help stop the clock. prescribed for 15 years, humira targets and blocks a source of inflammation that contributes to joint pain and irreversible damage. humira can lower your ability to fight infections. serious and sometimes fatal infections including tuberculosis, and cancers, including lymphoma, have happened; as have blood, liver, and nervous system problems, serious allergic reactions, and new or worsening he

jay inslee made two great points. one was climate change was his issue.ump is the greatest national security threat to the united states. so people remember moments as opposed to, you know, this person spoke for six minutes, this person spoke for eight minutes. i wouldn't take too much meaning to that. again, i think the timing of it with warren dominating the beginning. the beginning of the debate felt like, you know, elizabeth warren, what do you think? all of the other candidates needed to react to her. while it really was dominated. >> some believe julian castro had a great night and he was able to move the needle. let's take a look where he went after beto o'rourke about the immigration policies. listen to this. >> title 18 of the u.s. code, title 21 and title 22 already cover this. i think you should research this issue. if you did your homework on this issue you would -- >> what did you see julian castro doing, sarah, in that moment? >> you know, i actually -- it was a -- it was a little hard to hear. i never like cross talk in debates and i though

shocker washington governor and 2020 candidate jay inslee joins us us.trump family again peddling birtherism. >> well, unfortunately it appears that the rotten apple doesn't fall far from the rotten tree. and what comes to mind is the question to the whole trump family at last have you no decency sirs, the fact that donald trump senior's political existence is built upon a foundation of racist attacks on barack obama, to now not learn from that experience to perpetuate it is unacceptable in america. and i think everyone ought to make a really fundamental decision right now. any got -- we got to get a new president. this indecency is corrupting. >> you've said, quote, we need to heal the country racially after the division of donald trump. instead of seeing candidates go after president trump on race though we saw senator kamala harris press joe biden on his anti-busing stance from 45 years ago. president trump was asked about busing earlier today. listen. >> the biggest threat to the security of the united states is donald trump. and there is no question

. >> jay inslee. >> your one minute, starts now. >> cloab clar. o'rourke.ad them before you asked me. >> warren. s-walwell. the new one from montana. >> run two, the helpful hopes. >> ron yea, give tints. >> black guy, bald, mayor. >> booker. >> no, no, the other one. >> black guy, bald, mayor? no, i don't know. >> wayne messan. >> i never remembered him, i think he should drop out. >> this person. >> klobuchar. >> yes. >> the one candidate. >> john delaney. >> the other. >> hickenlooper, inslee. >> come on. new york city w bilt de blasio. >> this guy delaney? hickenlooper. de blasio. beto. >> yeah. >> okay, this guy. bernie. >> yeah. >> okay, this guy, this guy, this guy. >> yang? i don't know. >> sanders. >> wow, this is going much worse than we thought. it is time for round three. where we straight up show you pictures. >> gibar imrks. the chick from hawaii, hickenlooper. >> wow, is that hickenlooper. >> yeah. >> i done even know. >> who is this guy. >> no clue. >> probably should have put names on the back. >> wait, this kind of actually looks like you.
