kamala harris tonight is the vice presidential nominee for the democratic party joining former vice president joe biden on perhaps the most consequential presidential ticket in modern american history. the news that senator harris is making history in this multidimensional way struck a personal note today, i think, for many americans. i saw this today and it resonated with me. this is from vanita gupta, the head of the civil rights division in the obama justice department, herself a trail blazer. not gonna lie, tears. she said, quote, as a historic day for black women, south asian women, women of color, women everywhere for america. joining us is vinita gupta. as i mentioned, she was head of the civil rights division in the obama justice department. great to see you. thanks for being here. >> great to be here. i am still tearing up, so i'm sorry, rachel, but i feel emotional tonight. >> tell me about your emotions. it's okay if you are emotional about it. talk to me about why you feel that way. >> it's a historic day in so many ways. i mean, you know, to think of the daughter of indian immigr

you saw different kamala harris today at the press conference and this was the kamala harris who wanteddestroy joe biden. let me be very clear about her. she will say things about black lives matter. she said that today. well, kamala, is it black lives matter like david dorn, the black officer, is it black lives like the ones in chicago? you say black lives matter, is that all black lives or are you just saying that to appease the extremist group? that is a situation just she has to explain to her the other thing about it is, if she is such a prologue order moderate democrat, where's the police unions supporting her? they are supporting donald trump. one last thing, she's a nasty person. she's mean. look what you try to do with justice kavanaugh. and when you talk about what she's planned to do, if i wass joe biden, i would sleep with one eye open, because she is i looking to take over the white house. she's only in it for herself period. >> sean: wow. dan bongino, secret service former nypd. i hate the way police have been treated, the 99% of brave cops that put their lives at risk to

actual voters have never shown a lot of enthusiasm for kamala harris. fact harris was so remarkably unpopular in the democratic primaries that despite nonstop media cheerleading she was forced to drop out before thes first votes were even cast,g before christmas. biden's handlers know this, obviously. they were there, they watched it, but they don't care. they are betting that you hate donald trump so much that you will make kamala harris president anyway. like their friends at google, the biden campaign understands it has a monopoly and they plan to exploit it.t. this is not the democracy we were promised. in fact, it's not a democracy at all. it's oligarchy and it has consequences for everyone. if candidates are only accountable to a small number of partisan executives in new york and san francisco, they are unlikely to care when your neighborhood police station is on fire, for example. they probably won't be too upset when packs of mentally ill homeless take over your screen or when your nephew overdoses on fentanyl. they have no incentive to improve

one participant was kamala harris. criminalis: the justice system is not working for the african-american community. we see that in the statistics. 2 million people in the prison system, 40% african america, despite we only constitute 30% of the general population. it is not working was the leading cause of death for african-american and men as homicide. suffer because our babies hear the gunfire every night and has posttraumatic stress disorder. the criminal justice system is not working for us. what we have failed to do is own the issue of law enforcement. statistics inthe the context of, it is unfair, morally incorrect. nobody cares about that. you can look at katrina. nobody cares that we have a lot of young black men in prison. issue in we own this law enforcement in a way that works for us. we do want law enforcement. we want our grandmothers to walk the streets and be safe, i'll babies walk to the park and be safe -- we won our babies to walk to the park and be safe. we don't want is racial profiling, excessive

joe biden, kamala harris. in fact for those who want a passionate following and more for this democratic candidate, she just might provide that. that will do it here. ♪ >> dana: hello, everyone. i am dana perino with jesse watters, greg gutfeld, donna brazile, and katie pavlich. it's 5:00 in new york city and this is "the five." the speculation is over. joe biden's name kamala harris as his pick for vice president. both will appear together in delaware tomorrow. biden tweeting "eye of the great honor to announce i have picked kamala harris, fearless fighter for the little guy and one of the country's finest public servants, as my running mate." back when kamala was attorney general, she worked closely with bo. they took on the big banks, protecting women and kids from abuse. i am proud then and proud now to have her as my partner in this campaign." kamala tweeting saying "joe biden can unify the american people because he spent his life fighting for us and asked resident he will build an america that lives up

it means kamala harris most firmly held conviction as her own personal ambition. x months ago, harris was traveling the country telling voters she would make a much better president than joe biden, touting her liberal record in the senate and questioning biden's comments on race and even expressing belief in the women who accused him of impropriety. the media won't tell you that and the media won't make harris and biden answer questions because biden and harris are making it clear -- they are not planning on leaving with voters and they aren't interested in taking any questions from their adoring fans in the press. for the second day in a row, biden and harris talked but would not take questions -- take a look. [reporter questioning] >> you can see there was one question from reporters. >> trey: while the democratic establishment wants you to believe there is unity ahead of the virtual dmc, the infighting is already begun. for example, progressives are now blasting the party for only giving congress when alexandria ocasio-cortez a mere minute, 60 seconds to speak o

but that's not kamala harris, not even close. rris has endorsed forcing schools to let biological males plan girls athletic teams. it's not a majority position. it's not but it's not as crazy as federally subsidize subsidizd abortions for biological men. harris is for that too. men can't get pregnant so how do we pay for their abortions? here is never explained it in this point it would be systemically racist task so no one will ever ask. shut up. no questions allowed. meanwhile there is not a fashionable rich lady position that kamala harris doesn't have. plastic straws are bad. red meat is worked. if there was a bill to make soulcycle mandatory, kamala harris would get behind it. >> do you ban plastic straws? >> i think you should, yeah. >> would you support changing the dietary guidelines? the food pyramid? they go yes. speaker reduce red meat. >> yes i would. >> tucker: so now you know kamala harris' position on the all-important fda food pyramid. she has nonfrivolous positions too. on health care harris believes illegal immig

comes into the senate that's a hot number in terms of their political future, like barack obama or kamala harris, there's a tendency of other senators to try to pick them apart. well, who do they think they are. but kamala is good at connecting with people. you really don't find senators sniping at her behind her back when she would have these moments of stardom. as you know, chuck, that goes on with senators, when someone grabs the moment in a hearing. but you didn't really have that with kamala. she would slow down and talk to people and not just to other senators but to staff. i think that speaks volumes about who she is. she and joe biden have that in common. they're both, they don't see people at a rally as props like donald trump. they see people supporting them as people. and that will come through. that connection with people that they both have, that empathy they both have. that i think is the secret sauce they have that will make this ticket particularly strong. >> back to kristin welker. had first reaction from president obama, this tweet from george conway reminding people, previous

kamala harris is the opposite of that. rris may be the single most transactional human being in america. there are time-share salesmen you would trust more thantr kamala harris. you could find payday lenders who are more sincere. so it seemed inconceivable that given his current state joe biden would choose someone so transparently one-dimensional as kamala harris. someone is he is. it would be the first entirely hollow presidential ticket in american history and we thought it would never happen. but they are doing it anyway. biden-harris, that's what they are going with. the choice tells you a lot about the current state of the democratic party. america is still technically a democracy yet either biden nor harris has ever been popular with actual voters. this is joe biden's third run for president. the first two attempts ended in embarrassing disasters. the third was headed at high speed in that direction and then a series of unforeseen flukes in a highly crowded primary field. the last in the race. he was clearly shocked

joe, we hear that kind of where it's been put out you can criticize kamala harris to a point but you itler but better be careful when it comes to kamala. have you heard this? >> earlier there was a women's group led by former ally of hillary clinton or former officials in the obama administration saying that if you criticized kamala harris a little bit too hard, then we have a war room. they actually dollared this a war room to hit back against false mirrors or anything deemed sexist against kamala harris that's the scary thing because that sounds like threat, and i look at this one cato institute poll earlier this week said 62% of adults afraid to express political views because they're afraid of cancel culture in other words if they say something maybe on facebook, maybe around the office if we ever get tbok an office but ever say something deemed to be insensitive like donald trump is my president as what happened in michigan with one teacher there. he declared it on facebook and he was fired for saying. this is something that i think now journalist maybe thinking about as well tha

breaking news, joe biden making history, announcing senator kamala harris has his running mate. two people who know senator harris well are "outfront." president trump pushing for college football to be played this week. so it safe for the tens of thousands of players? let's go "outfront." and good evening. i'm erin burnett.

eventually kamala harris took the stage last night.wherever else we are in the democratic party, we are definitely not donald trump and that's enough so just vote for us, everything will be fine." >> so i think we need to ask ourselves, why don't they want us to vote? why is there so much effort to silence our voices? and the answer is because when we vote, things change. when we vote, things get better. >> tucker: there it is right there, that's the line of the night. "when we vote, things get better." vote for us and things will get better. she's not telling you how they're going to get better, why would she? just vote. put us in power and your life will instantly improve. that's also the promise they've been making for decades and for decades people have believed them. democrats now control nearly every major population center in this country. so the question is, how are those places doing? have things gotten better in say chicago, detroit, baltimore, birmingham, in the city. we will leave the reporting of that to you. google the na

one has to do with the day pence was announced as vp and on the right you see the kamala harris selectionating four different stories on senator harris being chosen. what do you make of the disparity? susan: well, i justify it somewhat because she's more of a historic choice as black woman in presidential ticket as opposed to mike pence, another person male chosen to be president and i get that, it's "the new york times", i also get that. we should not be -- so often the press takes a side once the nominees are pick and once we get in general election, you see it already with a very positive coverage with harris and you will see it with i think from "the new york times" pretty well negative especially with this whole birtherism with the president. the media brought up the question whether harris was a citizen or not. the president didn't bring it up. the president was answering a reporter's question. you can criticize the way he answered the question. the media brought it up. they baited him on this. before i came on the set, howard, i was reading 2008 story from the new york city questio

he was a vice president for barack obama and now chosen kamala harris. so kamala, she stands on the shoulders of not just fanny lou and not just ella baker, she stands on the shoulders of shirley chism, hillary clinton, et cetera, et cetera. she understands that. this is a phenomenal pick tonight and i must say this, and i don't want to erase her mother at all because we have to remember she is the first woman of asian american, indian american descent to actually be at the top of the ticket. and so this is a fascinating night. and what we're seeing with the two parties is the narrow focus is going to be on the fact that donald trump and the trump campaign have no way and they do not know how to deal with kamala harris. it very difficult to say kamala is a cop, and then be a law and order president. those two things simply do not mesh. not only are they ahistorical and inaccurate, but the message is simply they collide, so that's first. but second, it shows that the republican party and democratic party are going in two vastly different directions. the co

todd: you have attacked kamala harris' record. so has tulsi gabbard. ten. >> senator harris says she's proud of her record as a prosecutor but i'm deeply concerned. she put over 1500 people in jail for marijuana violations, then laughed about it. >> i did the work of significantly reforming the criminal justice system which became a national model for the work that needs to be done. todd: if undecideds are looking for a democrat law and order candidate. is she it or is she going to flip-flop. >> she's not the law and order candidate anymore. her history was throwing poor people and black people in jail for petty crimes in san francisco to build her record. that is her record. she abandoned that. today she believes felons in prison maybe should be able to vote, she's in favor of letting people out, she's in favor of open of borders, she's in favor of decriminalizing drugs which she was once jailing people for. she has decided in a cunning way that's what's going to advance her agenda and that is all she chairs about, just -- cares about, just to be very

and he talks about the ways in which beau talked about kamala harris and liked kamala harris, and the ways in which he admired beau biden, his son and took him at his word when he talked about kamala harris in the way that he did and talked about their friendship. that was very important to him in terms of thinking about kamala harris as a partner. so that ended up being very key to one of the things that he did hear, which was to pick her, which was to trust her, which is to see her as a loyal partner and above all else as someone who could be president. >> all right. well, we are standing by for the first joint event with joe biden and his new running mate kamala harris. we will bring that to you live. >>> plus, in making his vp pick, joe biden credited his late son's friendship with harris. and up next i'm going to talk to an attorney general who knew them both. how about poor fred wilson? what a shame. so soon after retiring. i hear his wife needed help with the funeral expenses. that's ridiculous! -he had social security. -when my brother died, his wife received a check from soci

i am voting for joe biden and kamala harris. trump looks better gone. harris that biden and will bring the country back to where it needs to be. has really been something i can't say on the air. h and you can figure it out from there. i am voting for the democrats this year. host: how do you think your senator will do in alabama? caller: i think everybody will turn out for doug. they should. here have taken over everything. hell in deceitful as alabama. i can say that. i could tell you some things that you would not even believe. europeanslaiming that or blackfoot indians allowed them to open up the conceit is. when the black man had the casino opened, they closed them. it was illegal. europeansre allowing to open up. i know that my family was blackfoot indians. host: that's arthur from alabama. a reminder that tomorrow night, joe biden will be accepting the democratic nomination for president. all live on c-span, gavel-to-gavel. a text from madison county, tennessee. my first choice among the democrats. i believe he has made a good choice with harris as

kamala harris isn't going to want to do that, but somebody has to stick up for the biden/harris ticket. that's the surrogate nature of the vp in this moment. of course, we're dealing with a global pandemic and economic recession that we haven't seen since the great recession. there are a lot of things on the homefront that kamala harris is going to have to talk about that she'll be able to thread the needle on. one thing that's interesting is how much she focuses on this contrast in leadership message that biden has put forward rather than going into attack dog mode and going after president trump. >> david, as somebody who is -- when you talk what do you use the presidential nominee for, what do you use the vice presidential nominee for, where do you send them for different -- in different geographic areas, just how would you divide up the country, how would you divide up issues, how would you divide up time between the two of them in this unusual environment? >> chuck, it's another thing that's unprecedented. no, ma'am for the next 82 days, other than debates, they're on planes. you

presidential election, and 57 days to go until the vice presidential debate between mike pence and kamala harris, which nicely brings us to our lead story tonight, a big enough story to displace the pandemic at the top of this broadcast. barring disaster, the democratic ticket will be biden/harris. the 55-year-old california senator will appear with joe biden tomorrow in delaware, as close to each other as the cdc allows. the announcement came electronically this afternoon. the secret held while biden notified the others of his choice and, make no mistake, this is historic. kamala harris is the first black woman and the first person of indian descent to be nominated for national office by a major party in our country. she was joe biden's rival during the democratic primaries, announcing her own presidential campaign back in january of 2019. during his now daily briefing, the president attacked harris on health care, military funding, petroleum and taxes, and said he was surprised at her selection. >> she was my number one draft pick and we'll see how she works out. she did very, very poorly in t

that's kamala harris. lk too older voters, african american voters that have known him and supported him for decades. in terms of towing that line, i hope the biden-harris ticket will push back and say things like bernie sanders wanted us to adopt medicare for all. the green new deal. we're for legalizing marijuana. we didn't do that. that is not in the platform right now. it will be interesting to see how they talk about it at the dnc convention from their remote location. i don't think this will be nearly as difficult as republicans like our friend marc here would like it to be. i think that people will see that it's joe biden who has been moderate his entire career and leading this ticket. kamala joined him, not the other way around. >> dana: that is true. i was pointing out to bret baier, it's like when obama chose biden, he needed that shift. biden needed something like kamala harris. marc thiessen, props to you for the room. we'll come back to see more of that. thank you both. next we'll head to the w

and now we have kamala harris.ils about the process thatjoe biden went through. we know he's been involved in this process of selecting his running mate for the best out of three maybe four months now. backin of three maybe four months now. back in march he narrowed it down. he said it would be a woman and he's interviewed almost a dozen people. it's been suggested in the last weeks and months. in some cases face—to—face and other cases online. we are told that it came down to about 90 minutes before the announcement today that he telephoned kamala harris and offered her thejob as his running mate. she accepted, of course. and he spent the rest of the time it ringing around the other u nsuccessful ringing around the other unsuccessful candidates. people like susan rice, the former national security adviser, a congressman from california and quite a few other people. joe biden has gone through this process very meticulously. he clearly believes that kamala harris who ran for the democratic nomination herself is batt

joe biden has officially unveiled his running mate, kamala harris in a special eventin kamala harrisidential ticket. much more on our website and twitter feed. thank you for watching. hello. wednesday brought a real mishmash of weather across the british isles. a lot of heat and humidity again and yet, in the saint ives and a number of coastal areas were plagued with low cloud and fog and then, as the day wore on, so the thunderstorms popped off and that prospect is there again through thursday, hot and humid weather with that risk of thunderstorms, especially so, although not exclusively across the southern half of the british isles because this overall set up of the low pressure with the heat from the continent and the moisture from the surrounding seas is still the dominant feature. and we start with the temperature somewhere in the teens for many, if not twenty degrees in one or two spots in the southeast and from the word go, there could well be some thunderstorms for central and southern parts of england getting across the border into wales. quite a bit of mirk there to the eas

wasn't even half of it, you also had as if the memo went out, declaring we want to make sure that kamala harriss betrayed as a moderate for the new york times, and pragmatic moderate. as a centrist, drive the point home seem to be the message, the associated press, and adding harris to the ticket, he can point to her relatively centrist record on healthcare in her background on law enforcement, okay let's look at those two things that were going to look at the associated press in the way that they are portraying kamala harris, she wants healthcare for the undocumented, she and everybody else raise their hands when asked the question, she also supports medicare for all, is that a centrist position on healthcare? don't think so. finally we talked about in terms of her career law enforcement as she spoke of the first half-hour of the show, if you remember during brett kavanaugh hearings, this is really incredible, the new york times reported then retracted sexual assault claims against kavanaugh, not the original but other when they came out which were utterly ridiculous, when kamala harris was as

gerry: my next guest has worked alongside senator kamala harris in the senate.hey're both members of the judiciary committee. senator marsha blackburn, republican of tennessee. senator, thank you for joining us. we just heard from a very prominent democratic pollster that the idea that kamala harris some kind of a liberal out on the left is completely absurd and that she's actually kind of right in the mainstream of american politics on the center-left. is that your experience? >> oh, not at all. she is one of the most liberal, consistently one of the most liberal members of the u.s. senate. he is for sanctuary cities, for open borders, she is not supportive of the second amendment, we've kind of joked about it and would confiscate your guns. she is for bernie sanders' socialized medicine. is she is for letting felons vote from prison. he is for the green new deal. and she's been out marching with the mob in washington d.c. she is solidly, squarely on the left, and she and joe biden are going to be the most leftist party nominees that the democrats have ever put
