but i can't tell you what it's going to be like at the nabj.ave great questions. this has to. they better be fair and treat kamala harris the way they treated former president trump. meaning if somebody doesn't answer your question, you go again. if somebody doesn't answer, you go again. they didn't do it at the debate. they did it with trump at the debate and previously at nabj, but i want them to do it with kamala harris. by the way, viewers have known donald trump through a presidency already. they have known her as the sort of invisible woman as the vice president under biden until it came to the border. he put her front and center. she failed. other than that, we don't know much about her policies. so it's incumbent upon these three journalists today, move the ball forward. the next interview is with oprah on thursday. >> john: that will be a hard one for sure. ken lemon is the president of the nabj. >> i've spoken with him many times. >> john: here's what he said. "as we have always stated, nabj does not endorse political candidates. this

honesty everyone hold on for us coming up next see what happens when kamala harris was pressed at nabj and hillary clinton told our own kara swisher that harris does not need to get specific thanks about her policies will tell you why lead with jake tapper tomorrow it for cnn there's night football on prime. >> it's on football bring thursday night football only all braun, who is a great place to find affordable luxury for less there's beautiful linen sheets, there's court has curtains, whatever your style is, the quality for what you get is reaeally substantial mus. >> one of the reasons that i've been drawn to this brand get $20 off your first purchase. a quince.com hani honey severe honey powerful, cold and flu relief with a dreamy honey taste nyquil honey. the honey wishes nighttime sniffling, sneezing, coughing, aching fever, best lead with a cold medicine, you're seeing skechers, famous glide step footwear everywhere. and now that famous design is available, enhanced free sketches, slipping, get the comfort and style guides step now with the convenience is slipping with no bendin

this will take place at whyy-fm public radio in philadelphia, a city the nabj says is deeply tied toistory. professional and student members of the organization will be in attendance, as well as 100 journalism and communication students from local hbcus. politifact will provide real time fact checking throughout the discussion. harris's appearance comes more than a month after trump made an appearance at the convention for the nabj, where he called into question the vice president's race. >> area weather a bit of a warm up today, but some cooling this weekend, and eventually we're talking about some showers at least the chance we'll have the update coming up. >> but first, a look here at the fog rolling in over san francisco earlier today. take a look at sutro tower there surrounded by all of that fog. and we will have another look is it possible to count on my internet like my customers count on me? it is with comcast business. keeping you up and running with our 99.9% network reliability. and security that helps outsmart threats to your data. moaire dida twoo? -your data, too. ther

. >> this coincides or is a response to an event that the nabj held with donald trump a few months ago, a vastly different event here, a much more measured conversation with the vice premier president, and they, touched on an array of subjects, including her confidence in the secret service following the attempted assassination of donald trump is second attempted assassination she actually said that she spoke with donald trump and told him, according to her, there is no place for political violence in our democracy. also asking to see if he was okay. they also talked about her laughter being used as an attack against her by republicans. the economy, the war in gaza, reparations attacks on immigrants in ohio. she spoke extensively on that, as well as gun control and reproductive rights. >> yeah, that's right. and there will be questions which we will ask our panel here. cnn's priscilla alvarez is with us eva mckend, david chalian in the atlanta journal constitution's tia mitchell, as well. to you guys here in studio first. i wonder if you thought it was substantive enough and i will poi

both nabj with an audience. it seemed like yesterday's audience was smaller based on what i was trying to gauge there. >> harris: what you saw in chicago was their annual conference. it would have been much larger than a campaign stop. by the way, they came out in all its language that this was a journalism event and that this was not politics. on all the campaign materials, this was a campaign stop. so that's -- what did we get yesterday? more of what she says on the campaign. i watched you guys earlier. you can do the side-by-side and see how she keeps repeating herself. my big question today is you had -- this is no disrespect to eugene and garin and tanya doing the job. you did not have network anchors who do vt every day and a different feel about it or the pressure cooker type of what we do. having somebody not answer our question and pushing back. you didn't have that. >> bill: here is what you had in chicago. >> harris: we have a little bit of that. it was very different for trump. >> bill: rachel scott,

i don't know that he would will get those types of questions from the nabj. and journalists who can handle this situation but i doubt that we see the type of pressure applied to kamala harris we saw with president trump president trump not sitting down with them. her ask some challenging questions about her record or flip-flopping her past voting record? >> i would hope so. this country is full of journalists well equipped to ask those types of questions. what we are seeing is sitting down with advocates. abc, i think we all know what happened there the nabj is seen as advocate group for the campaign i'm hoping that we proven wrong challenging questions. >> donald trump spoke to the group weeks ago she wasn't available. now saying yes to that invitation. why do you think that is? >> i think she has to at this point. she is seeing the same polls that we are when it comes to her distaste within the younger black male demographic. i think those numbers are only going to start to increase in favor of president trump if she doesn't start to put forth plans and pol

campaign event since the second assassination attempt, but he just responded to a kamala harris is nabj appearance, right? >> that's right welcome just to be clear, he has not said anything about a call with vice president kamala harris is quite different than what we saw yesterday after he spoke to president joe biden and responded almost immediately with a statement saying it was a very nice call, but yes, as he said, he just responded to that nabj interview saying it was the gentlest interview humanly possible. you went on to say that he us treated, by the way, this is his campaign putting this out, that trump was treated with much more hostility than kamala harris we continue to hear that same rhetoric we have heard from donald trump over the last two days blaming her for the violence, blaming biden, and then harris ministration for what happened to him. one of the things they said specifically was kamala continued to stoke the flames of violence against president from just two days after an attack as the nation attempt against him, there had been some questions as to whether or not

president harris this week that will take place at the whyy-fm public radio in philadelphia, a city the nabj says is deeply tied to their history. professional and student members of the organization will be in attendance, as well as 100 journalism and communication students from local hbcus. politifact will provide real time fact checking throughout that discussion. >> meanwhile, republican nominee donald trump will make campaign stops in a number of battleground states this week, beginning with a town hall meeting in flint, michigan, on tuesday. yesterday, trump, visiting the headquarters of the las vegas police protective association, which is the largest law enforcement group in the state of nevada. trump thanked the association for its endorsement while stepping up his attack on the vice president and other democratic party leaders. >> nobody can believe how bad they've done at the border, running our country, the econom, inflation, afghanistan, everything. i mean, they haven't done anything right. actually, did you notice that trump told the police union he is the true law and order ca

. >> carley: question was about the joy she has, but when former president trump sat down with the nabj in july, he was pressed on his rhetoric. >> you have told four congresswomen of color who were american citizens to go back to where they came from, you attacked black journalists, calling them loser saying their questions are stupid and racist. why should black voters trust you after you use language like that. >> for you to start a question and answer period when you are 35 minutes late because your equipment wouldn't work m a hostile manner is a disgrace. >> later today v.p. harris will address the caucus ahead of a gala tonight which president biden is expected to headline. >> todd: i watch a lot of children's stuff, one thing was not like the other. >> carley: a little defense there, diving into that as they say later in the show. biden-harris border policy in the spotlight on capitol hill today and our next guest is retired border patrol agent set to testify. he says he's never seen another administration make it this hard to secure our own country. we'll hear from him next. >>

former president trump also sat down for a contentious interview at the nabj convention in july. harris spoke at a dinner hosted by the congressional black caucus foundation. >> while we move and fight the move our nation forward toward a brighter future, donald trump and his extremist allies intend to take our nation backwards. but we are not going back. [applause] >> reporter: trump, mean if time, met with -- meantime, met with the las vegas police protective association, the large law enforcement association in nevada. the group has endorsed him. >> it means a lot. we have tremendous law enforcement enforcements. we have military endorsements, we have a lot of hem. but i just really appreciate it. it's very, very special. >> reporter: as trump met with police, j.d. vance was in greenville, north carolina, where he attended east carolina university's football game against appalachian state. vance called the tarheel state a must-win in november. to that point, he's heading to the the value league on wednesday. governor tim walz is also heading to north carolina on tuesday of aft

that almost unbelievable contrast in the treatment of kamala and trump suggesting to you that the nabjeral advocacy group? >> that is quite a contrast that to you just plaided. on one hand, why are you such a liar and a racist? on the other hand, why is joy -- howard: -- not sound joyous this morning, by the way. [laughter] >> i also would love a memo on the joy kamala harris elicits from the 982 of her staff -- 9 8% of her staff who leave her office. we don't hear very much from them when they talk about joy over there. other questions in the interview of harris were a bit tougher. there are so few opportunities of journalists to the ask mig of kamala harris, let alone follow-up questions. we saw a few of them at that forum, and what's interesting is, howie, nbc -- hardly a harris-hostile organization -- they wrote up that event in a way that was not very flattering to her saying that she was evasive repeatedly, she would rah ramble and filibuster and avoid real responses to to some of the questions to the point that the audience got antsy. a generally friendly audience, there were mu

and, by the way, kamala harris' answer on the at the nabj gathering when she's asked about vet serviceage is nearly sews yo path inin the -- so much owe patrick in the way she doesn't bemoan the fact that we're here, she doesn't say that that's a threat to democracy which it actually is, she just bypasses it and said she feels safe. it is an appalling reaction to this. stuart: mary katherine, i think you got it dead right. come back soon. thanks very much. >>> tulsi gabbard spoke about the possibility of joining a trump administration. what did she have to the say, lauren? lauren: she told fox news digital she would be honored to the join that administration. >> if given the opportunity to serve in a trump administration, i'd be honored to serve in a position where i feel i could make the most if impact -- most impact in these areas of national security and foreign policy and work to bring about the changes that president trump talks about. lauren: she aligns with trump and that, of course, is her sweet spot, foreign policy. she wants to end the war in ukraine. she also said she fears

moderators from nabj pressed harris on whether americans are better off than they were four years agohe worst public health epidemic in centuries. we came in after the worst attack on our democracy since the civil war, and a lot of it due in large part to the mismanagement by the former president, the vice president also talking reproductive rights following the death of a young georgia mother who died after waiting 20 hours for a hospital to treat her complications from an abortion pill. but it should not be the government or donald trump telling her what to do about her own body and her life. >> former president donald trump held a town hall in michigan and was also asked about the economy deflecting questions about the cost of groceries by focusing instead on energy, then tried courting the michigan crowd by bashing electric vehicles. >> what's wrong with those cars? they don't work well in cold and they don't work very well in heat. but elon's going to figure it out. >> trump described harris's phone call following sunday's apparent assassination attempt as very nice. harris has c

they tried it at the nabj. conversation he was having with journalists there. i was one of the people on stage with him. that started off very similar to what we saw last night. the moderators waited 40 minutes to ask the vp about her sudden reversal. the flip-flopping on a growing list of far left policies since becoming the democratic presidential nominee, 40 minutes. in fact, the president had to bring it up. after her questionable answer on only one of those policies, there were no follow-up questions from the moderators. no fact checking. former president trump did not wait for the moderators to call out those flip-flops as i just mentioned. watch. >> i don't say her she has no policy. everything that she believed three years and four years ago is out the window. she is going to my philosophy now. i was going to send her a maga hat. >> harris: alexandria hoff is in philadelphia now. >> hi, harris, the pace of this debate last night was certainly interesting. when the former president was asked by fox if he would consider doing another debate he said he wou

we just heard from kamala harris yesterday when she was in front of nabj, there has to be a deal on gaza that ends the fighting, frees the hostages. what does all this mean for that goal? >> i have just think it makes it much more difficult. essentially all these things are ultimately connected and i think rightly the biden administration understands that the only pathway to truly de-escalate the tensions in the region is a cease-fire deal in gaza. hezbollah has been firing the rockets into israel since october 7th they see themselves as part of the conflict that israel finds themselves in with hamas. so as long as the war is in gaza it's difficult to de-escalate the situation in lebanon. the more you militarize the conflict the more unlikely it is that hamas and the israeli government will make the types of decisions necessary to get to a cease-fire. we've seen in the past, the u.s. getting close to a cease-fire and coming out and saying a cease-fire and then at the last moment prime minister netanyahu or hamas insist on conditions that scuttle the deal. when there's this degree of regi

she sat down with nabj up for wide ranging panel conversation about all the issues that matter, particularlye to black america. we obviously sat down with oprah up and michigan had the town hall format where she is able to understand scored the stakes of this election. and so as we move forward, we're going to continue to use every single tool that we have at our disposal to reach the voters in the battleground states that are going to decide the pathway to 270 electoral votes. that's inclusive of interviews. it's inclusive of the rallies that we do. it's the bus tours that we've done in states like pennsylvania and georgia, making sure that we're touching every single part of these battleground states. because a boat and southeast georgia is worth adjust as much as one in atlanta, georgia to us, right? so we want to make sure that we're using every single tour at our disposal of course, there's no substitute for presidential debate. you think you had about 71 million people who tuned in on september 10 as we move forward, the second debate would be even closer. to election day. and so donal

questions that if you had if he had been to politician school bee , he would never answer, like the nabj joining where he goes in. and as you pointed out, you know, the problem was, was, are you going to play the game or not? and as soon as he answers the questiont s he he's playing the game, the guy doesn't know how to not answer the questionoi . and if that's not what we're looking for in politics, thef tk then this isn't going to work. >> that's what we want in politics. that's what weant in in politic. >> all right. kennedy oh, see how they applaud. >> i say your name. i think that's what it wasn't. charlie's. great poin>> int t. >> no, not at all. not at all. no one made sense to you. little olmos bush. >> so. so let's friedman is from m.i.t. he's a computer engineer. >> computer scientist. do you think would have been able to do that interview? that's so fun. there's only one way to find out. and i think now is the time, becaus the time people getting f her schtick now would be a great time for to go on and show like that and answer some questions. questions.e know about theth visi

>> i will roll out the red carpet for you the way you did for me when i was at nabj in chicago. we got ready to go to our sister station, wls, and i'm like, i would really love to see the station. and you know who stepped up? greg. >> so sweet. well, greg, i got to tell you, kumasi will be the best tour guide. >> i'm going to show you that. >> i bet it was cool. i bet i won't have the garrett's popcorn like we had and all the behind the scenes things. but, you know, we'll get you some san francisco things for you. we'll hook you up, greg. >> maybe some rice-a-roni. >> i appreciate it, guys. take care. worried you'll laugh so hard you'll leak? well always discreet can hold your biggest gushes with up to zero leaks and odor. so you're not just dry. you're laugh until you cry dry. we've got you, always. always discreet. the first time you try bounce, it hits you: your laundry feels way fresher and less wrinkled... you start to wonder... if i put a sheet of bounce on my boss, will it make his wrinkles smoother? bounce can't do it all, but for better laundry... ♪ put a sheet on it ♪

i believe that when she came for nabj in chicago last month, that you gave her, like, almost a private tour of wls, where you work most of the time. >> yeah. she she got she got the grand tour of the space station. >> i showed her where to get the best popcorn and deep dish in town and, and then, you know, thank goodness she's still with us. but at least if she wasn't, then she had a good time in chicago. >> that's right. and, you know, you want to go out having a good time in chicago? >> absolutely. no. you do architectural tours? yeah. >> you do the tours and then you go to glory. >> and, greg, we've promised you a tour when you come visit us here at kgo. >> yeah. >> you're welcome to come here. >> i would absolutely love it. i'll take you up on it. i'll just be waiting at the door. hey, guys, let me in. >> yeah, guys, knock three times. that's the key. oh, we just told everybody that's fine. oh, shoot. gotcha. well, greg, thank you for giving her the tour. >> i know that she had a really good time. she she she showed us the pictures. >> no problem. okay, greg, i hope portillo. anyti

with that said, however, i think that if you saw kamala harris's interview with the nabj yesterday where she was very pointed and very poignant in how she discussed this. if she continues to discuss this, not just as the sole issue of the campaign, and pushing back against the lies and extremism, i think it has the potential to present her as the adult in the room, the presidential figure who is saying, look, we have to deal in truth, we have to deal in the fundamentals of these issues. so i think there's a space there, and it will go on. donald trump is not going to abandon immigration as an issue. it's going to be a part of his campaign, and i think if i can just add one quick final element here, you were just talking about unions, right? unions become important in this. the teamsters did not endorse kamala harris. the vast majority of unions have. they do a lot of internal education, and frankly, in recent years, they have done a lot of internal education about the value of immigrants, what they contribute to the american economy, to our society, and even to the unions they are member

saying what she's saying hang on twitter that kamala harris turn black and he's using her words at the nabj, the american people don't care about their was like like it, that's a racist dog whistle. scott. >> that's something that he is getting from her. >> and she's lighting matches. >> now, i just i just feel like come on, you know, that. >> okay. so if he is getting advice from her, is that a wise because idea she's happy right now. >> i understand. she's got to be super happy because she's getting tons of airtime right now for nothing. and it just like brian said, i'm just i'm just asking you say as bad. >> i understand you don't want to answer the question because you were trying to deflect. i'm not trying that is that's the argument and i get it. i get it. i want to ask attack, but what do you asked him? is it wise for if she is giving him advice and he's taken vital let's remember, is that wise i don't know. >> probably not, but i don't know. he's taken advice. i don't know. do you yeah the reporting yeah. >> brian's reporting actually the reporting about her being on the plane and t

you could ask me, shall send our own abby philip, you can as april mao era april, you can ask the nabj he does not do. wow with serious questions being posed by by black women so i think that is why his team overrode his idea to like, lets go free for all. let's all have the microphones. know. they were like no hot my x because they know that is a real danger to this president. >> and how he behaves for him. ng the debate, with joe biden, we will come away saying yes, he's old, he's were all because we focus so much on i didn't the last time she got away with a lot. >> i disagree. i think the most important moment in that debate with donald trump said, you know, i don't know what he said, no think he knew what he said. he actually is a pretty good game time player, but i agree with karen that this is very important debate night for him. it's one of the few times kamala harris is going to be under pressures. we've seen that effectively. she's running a basement campaign. he can put her under pressure and he could hold her accountable for what she said in 2020, which was a platform that

. >> black journalists today at the nabj pressed vice president kamala today harris on policies fromguns to the war in gaza. specifics.f her answers lacked >> every single policy question she got at the debate, she totally ignored and never to answer it. >> why is it that why is it that she believes she does not have to answers sh to journalisp who are asking pretty basic question? >> js? but hillary clinton has a different strategy. no policy, no problem. >> sometimes i'm asked, where is a policy? well, go to the website. that's where the policy is. you know, i had more policy than anybody. >> it was i gave speeches about it. it was on our website. i ro with tim kaine about it. >> we have lots of policy. at the end of the daeye ofy, thd not what caused people to vote for me or againstto me. and i think the the. harris campaign knows that. >> more excuses from hillary. >> has no whyshe still idea why she lost. she still thinks the russians stole the and thinks america'ssm sexist. here'seric hillary saying kamala shouldn't even put out policy. the only reaso shouln people was to know

that it's so hard for him to maintain discipline scott, after donald trump made those comments at nabj, the vice president effectively said say it to my face. do you think donald trump is going to question kamala harris's race to her face in this debate? >> i would have no way of knowing, but i would advise him not to do that and i would just advise him to answer all questions going back to one core issue. if you want change, i am the change. if you want change on the economy, i am the change. if you want change on the border, i am the change. and she's out here to take the only change she is changing all of our positions gins in a craven effort to try to make you think she's not some kind of radical liberal. so i wouldn't, i wouldn't take the bait from a question. i wouldn't take the bait from her. i would just bring it all back to one core issue. this is how he wins. people are not happy with the current administration. she is in the current administration. she represents a continuation of the same. so anything that you do that gets off that track is really a loss minute are lost ten

the vice president's address this criticism that recently really started with the former president nabjociation of black journalists conference sort of brushed it aside because it was nonsensical and i felt the same way when i heard janet jacksons remarks. it's like, why are you using your platform to weigh in on something nonsensical when there's so many real things that are going on in the world. and i recognize that you're asked a question, but you are an icon. you've been famous basically your entire life. you know how to pivot from a question, and yet you chose to use your time in that way. that was really disappointing i wish i could hear the audio as well because i find myself wondering what was all the context around it. >> maybe it's me thinking there must be some other reason or something that she said or maybe it's just refusal to take it at face value of what she in fact did say. but listen to what will be goldberg said about today? >> janet jackson is not a political animal she does she's a, she's a musician, show her life was doing this and she's warning or brother so that

the question that elicited the answer we played, who interviewed vice president kamala harris at the nabje daniels is back. tim, cornell and pete are with us. we've been discussing your excellent question the vice president's pretty expansive and emotional moment there. you were asking her if she felt safe with the secret service protection and she brought it back to the communities that don't have secret service protection, the people living in springfield, ohio, who have been smeared with the lie that haitian immigrants are eating family pets, as well as the lbgtq community, women, and others. your thoughts? that moment seemed to really sort of change the tenor of the conversation today. >> i think that's right. i think, you know, it was a really depth answer to the question i wanted to find out about. i wanted to ask about her family. she turned it immediately. i've been covering her this entire time as vice president, it shows the growth, all the changes she and her team have made in her ability to bring conversations back to where they want to go. it's sometimes frustrating as report

, that's absolutely the other dynamic that trump has to be wary of is to not repeat what he did at nabj when lindsey davis is asking him, fair? but tough questions because as we saw, he lost it and was very mean to i thought he was mean. he thought she was mean and the response to rachel scott questioning and so that's the other thing i will be looking to see is how, because i completely agree this about character, because about temperament and character, commonly harris, his job is get out there and put forward at your vision, your plan. how do you build on the last four years? his job, frankly, is to just try to not have an explosion because even if he goes out and does what he did at the last debate, he's going to seem like an old man with old ideas because he's going to be triggered by a lot of things see moderators, it's kamala harris is a woman. i mean, there's a lot of triggers for him. all right. well, we're all here for it and you can watch the abc news presidential debate simulcast, right here on cnn at 9:00. but don't go anywhere because woven i will be back in just a moment

he got on the nabj stage and when he was asked about sonya massey, he insinuated she brought it uponself and he did not back down on the notion he would provide immunity to police officers. we know from data and surveys of black voters that police accountability, criminal justice reform is a high priority for our community. a person who suggests it's ok for cops to kill black people with immunity is not in line with the majority of black voters. there will always be a percentage of people there. it's fine to have people who are not with her. that's normal. i think if this is their strategy to get black people on their side, they are delusional if they think that's going to work. host: if you have questions for reecie colbert, you can call in. our number is (202) 748-8000. republicans can call in at (202) 748-8001. dependents at -- independents at (202) 748-8002. let's start with daryl, who is a democrat in florida. good morning, darrell. caller: good morning. i would like to make one quick comment. everybody keeps bringing up kamala harris's qualifications. donald trump, he never ran
