i want to play what tim burchett said the two soundbites actually one is how he used this in a hearing yesterday against the secret service, drove its former secret service director. now kimberly cheatle it all and then what he said about kamala harris to manu raju. here it is i don't think he should resign. >> i think she should have been fired. ma'am, you are a dei horror story suggesting she's d she was a dei hire 100%. she was idea what is going on here considering you know, you have for instance, in the case of cheatle, someone who had worked for 27 years in the secret service and in the case of harris, you have someone who was elected as part of a ticket was elected prior was as a senator and also has quite a history as a prosecutor. >> what do you make of this yeah. >> also like tim burchett, specifically, he does his thing where he has a little cute southern accent and maybe throws in some some acronym with about a possum or something like that, and then says really hot horrible things. and this is actually if you look at right-wing twitter and kind of right-wing social media.

support congressman tim burchett looking forward to you asked those questions of the director tomorrowt this hearing we will be carrying it of course live here. congressman, thank you for joining us. >> thank you brother. arthel: center mansion democrat congressman dean phillips for minnesota joining a growing chorus of democrats now calling for the president to step aside and abandon his reelection effort. that number now sits at 37. what is the way forward? jonathan kott a former manchin joins us next with his insight for up to seven hours. so take the challenge. ensure, nutrition for strength and energy. i'm jonathan lawson, here to tell you about life insurance through the colonial penn program. if you're age 50 to 85 and looking to buy life insurance on a fixed budget, remember the three p's. what are the three p's? the three p's of life insurance on a fixed budget are price, price, and price. a price you can afford, a price that can't increase, and a price that fits your budget. i'm 54. what's my price? you can get coverage for $9.95 a month. i'm 65 and take medications. what's m

but you've seen members of congress and the republican party and more conservative areas like tim burchett from tennessee, harry hagman from wyoming and using that style of attack and dei candidate and conflating biden's promise to put a black woman on the supreme court and picking a black vice presidential candidate. >> her campaign was a race to the left in the democratic primary and that's what they want to focus on. now, they really have had message discipline here and coming from the top and not just speaker johnson but trump as well and the candidate and presidential run. >> what are we seeing now now that president biden is out of the race? what are we looking at in the house and senate? >> we're see ago lot more enthusiasm right now on the going to parse through what's going on with polling on the senate democrats are running ahead of harris in the battleground and it's a blue state in california and new york and urban centers as well and harris hispanic voters and black voters and there's a lot more there and worry that had harris is on the top of the ticket and garcia too and sub

we'll come to you 800 a31, 3,700 we're back with our 2024 lead a day after republican congressman tim burchett called vice president kamala harris a dei hire some republicans are pushing back congressman byron donalds, one of only four black house republicans appealed to his republican colleagues to keep the focus on vice president harris's policies. cnn's manu raju's on capitol hill, manu, how are members reacting? >> yeah, there's a wide variety of reactions democrats who are very offended by those remarks. some of them flatly calling them racist remarks, others saying that this will republicans focus on this they believe will actually help me credit chances both at the white house and down ticket, yes. people like byron donalds and others in the top ranks of the house, gop and some in republican leadership said this is and precisely not what they should be focusing on at this time, but some others on the hard right are aligning themselves with tim burchetts remarks. as i said to me earlier today it's the most offensive thing that i have heard. someone say, she is the vice president of the u

about republican congressman tim burchett referring to vice president harris as a quote, dei hire, take a listen to what the speaker had to say this election, as i noted at the outset, is going to be about policies and not personalities. >> this is not personal with regard to kamala harris and her ethnicity city, or her gender, had nothing to do with this whatsoever no. >> that's not what tim burchett says. >> what speaker johnson would love for this to be about policy and not personalities. we have to remember who's at the top of the ticket on the republican side, donald trump, who is always been about attacking people on personal matters, branding people with nicknames. he's already called it kamala harris, dumb as a rock and started to traffic in some of these tropes and so, even if speaker johnson would like for this to be about policy, i expect that in the short campaign we're going to see a lot of these dog whistles i see a lot of ugly language and rhetoric kamala harris team says they are ready for it, but it's an unchartered situation where the entire political apparatus is reor

obviously that maybe a suggestion of maybe tim burchett and others maybe stop talking about her as a de&i higher. but you also have the trump campaign putting out out a memo subject being state of play day one, doug focus preparing to launch a full-scale assault against kamala harris, describing her as dangerously liberal, attacking her on policies, inflation, immigration, electric cars in the line that stuck out to me in the memo in how they're trying to focus maybe messaging is same year saying people well same record of failure, same result. do you think this works this is what you want to do if you're the party committees and here are the joys and the perils of being in house or senate leadership regardless of party, how many times did you call me when i worked in house leadership and say, hey, steve king, a name we haven't used very often lately. >> steve king just said this. what's your response? and i would typically send it to voicemail because i didn't have a good answer. and then dana bash would call me on my cell phone send it to voicemail. don't have a good answer. this i

republicans are also scrutinizing the makeup of the secret service with congressman tim burchett suggesting the agents there saturday. we're up to the task and i don't care. >> if you put a pink unicorn in there, but they got to be able to do the job and they did not do the job. >> the senate committee also plans to launch a bipartisan investigation in washington. i'm maddie beer-temple. >> niners getting ready for the first full week of training camp next week. brandon aiyuk. he's not happy, wants to be traded. he said today sports director jason today sports director jason dumas is all the drama next. introducing togo's new barbecue beef sandwich. it's piled high with tender beef that's slow cooked and smothered in tangy memphis style barbecue sauce. it's no fuss, no muss. just tons of flavor. the best barbecue beef is only a togo's. try one today. i was like shaking you know, . when i first reached out to jacoby and meyers. i didn't know if i had a case o. as soon as i got a hold of my . because of jacoby and meyers, it a medical bill or things like . if i know of any accident, i'm . >>

mike johnson responding to a question from our manu raju moments ago about tennessee republican tim burchettident kamala harris a dei, hire. here's that exchange as we come on, harris, presumptive nominee, some of your colleagues have been criticizing her over the issue of diversity, temper burchett said that she was a dei hire. >> is that appropriate? >> listen, this election, as i noted at the outset, is going to be about policies, not personalities. this is not personal with regard to kamala harris and her ethnicity or her gender at nothing to do with this whatsoever. this is about who can deliver for the american people and get us out of the mess that we're in every area of public policy is a disaster because the biden-harris administration made it that way. and that's what this election is about. >> joining us now is delaware governor john carney. he was on hand when a vice president kamala harris was visiting with campaign staff yesterday governor, let's just jump right into this didn't take long for a racially charged grenada get tossed into this campaign what's your response when you

this is tennessee congressmember cam burchett -- tim burchett speaking with cnn's manu raju. >> first black female for vice president. what about white females? what about any other group? when you go down that route, you take mediocrity and that is what they have right now as vice president. 100%, she was a dii hire. amy: separately wisconsin republican congressman glenn grossman said they were only supporting harris because of her ethnic background. on tuesday national republican congressional committee chairman richard hudson told a closed-door meeting of gop lawmakers they should criticize harris over biden administration policies and should avoid racist and sexist attacks. new jersey democrat bob menendez will resign august 20 following his conviction by a federal jury on 16 corruption counts. he was found guilty of robbery, wire fraud, extortion, obstruction of justice, conspiracy and acting as a foreign agent for egypt. menendez faces years in prison when he is sentenced in october. new jersey's democratic governor phil murphy will appoint a replacement to carry out the remaind

. >> laura: now, one of my favorite moments of the entire hearing though came from congressman tim burchettheatle you said the buck stops with me and i agree. i don't think you should resign. i think she should have been fired. ma'am, you are a dei horror story. >> laura: ha! maybe it was the accent. joining us now florida congressman byron donalds on the house oversight committee there today. former navy seal sniper who was at the site of the attempted assassination of former president trump today. congressman donalds, so, cheatle shows up there. and i thought are we all being punched like what is going on? and if kamala harris is really so strong as a number two. why didn't she convince biden to fire that woman, the first subsequent that she didn't know anything about. this law, good to be with you. first i will tell you about the hearing, it was an absolute disaster. every clip that you paid the others that didn't even make the cut, it was a travesty, never seen anything like this. the outrage was bipartisan. but to your broader question about kamala harris going to joe biden and saying

congressmember tim burchett of tennessee told cheatle, "ma'am, you are a dei horror story," while texas lawmaker michael cloud asked cheatle, "does every secret service agent meet the same qualifications, or do you have different standards for different people?" a federal judge on friday sentenced a january 6 rioter who performed a nazi salute at the top of the capitol steps to five years in prison and a $20,000 fine. tyler dykes, a former marine, also attended the infamous 2017 unite the right rally in charlottesville, virginia. during his sentencing hearing, tyler said, "i stand with president trump and support him to be the next president of our country." in related news, a republican state senator from ohio was forced to apologize after he said only a civil war would save the country if trump loses the -- in november. george lang made the comments during a rally for trump's running mate j.d. vance. >> i believe wholeheartedly donald trump and j.d. vance are the last chance to save our country politically. i'm afraid if we lose this, it is going to take a civil war to save the countr

. >> that was tim burchett of tennessee on cnn saying that kamala harris was a dei hire and he wasn'tnation reverend al sharpton. thank you for being here. we spoke about this yesterday. we're hearing more of it on the hill today with republicans saying that she is only in that position because she's diverse. how does she fight against that. >> first ever all, i think that she could clearly run against it by her record. she was elected, the district attorney, in san francisco. then she was elect the the attorney general of california. and then she was elected by the vice president of the united states. everybody that voted for biden voted for her at the same time to be vice president and that he got more votes than any election for president in american history. so, when you look at the fact that the majority of san francisco, majority of california and a majority of the united states are not black, it is diverse and she won all of them with a diverse electorate, it shows how ignorant or if not asinine that it is. so they have to reduce to it dei or some form of giveaway. she, in fact

republicans are also scrutinizing the makeup of the secret service with congressman tim burchett suggesting the agents there saturday. we're up to the task and i don't care. >> if you put a pink unicorn in there, but they got to be able to do the job and they did not do the job. >> the senate committee also plans to launch a bipartisan investigation in washington. i'm maddie beer-temple. >> and in the aftermath of the assassination attempt on former president trump, the ohio state highway patrol will be providing security for senator jd vance after he was named trump's running mate. fans lives in the cincinnati area. so troopers, we're also monitoring his home there. the wife of the former firefighter killed in the shooting at the rally did not take a call from president biden. this is according to new york post, which spoke with helen, the wife there. she tells the paper her husband, cory was a a republican and he would have not wanted her to talk with president biden. she says she supports trump and plans to vote for him. she told the new york post she has not heard from the former presid

tennessee republican congressman tim burchett said it was the right move and they're just all in theution. but senate democratic leader chuck schumer called the ruling breathtakingly misguided. >> he said it, quote, flies in the face of long accepted practice and repetitive judicial precedents. california congressman adam schiff also critical of the ruling writing, quote, today's precedent shattering decision in florida is further proof that the guardrails of our democracy are coming down. smith can appeal the case for a higher court to weigh in. it's unclear yet if that will happen in washington. i'm maddie beer-temple. >> for your health wastewater levels of covid have reached very high here in california. according to the cdc, california, as one of 7 states currently carrying that very high designation nationally virus measurements and sewage have reached high levels for the first time this summer. new now at 3 o'clock. governor gavin newsom says california is leading the nation's economic growth and the state remains the 5th largest economy in the world. california has held this

he said he was going to hire tim burchett of tennessee, calling the vice president a d hire, a callback to diversity, equity and inclusion. >> and the expanded role that effort played in the aftermath of the police killing of george floyd. >> and so to call her a d hire, it's as if she would only have this role because of this emphasis on race and inclusion that undermines whatever experience she's had. >> and now the democratic party is calling on vice president harris to use that political experience to do something never done before in history mount a successful bid for the white house in just four months. doctor summers argues that asking a black woman to save the day is also rooted in problematic tropes that paint black women as maternal figures and saviors. take this interaction from cbs's the drew barrymore show, for example. >> we all need a mom. i've been thinking that we really all need a tremendous hug in the world right now. we need you to be mamala of the country, black women are expected to be the ones to not only save individual households, but also kind of this national

republicans are also scrutinizing the makeup of the secret service with congressman tim burchett suggesting the agents there saturday weren't up to the task and i don't care. >> if you put a pink unicorn in there, but they got to be able to do the job and they did not do the job. >> the senate committee also plans to launch a bipartisan investigation in washington. i'm maddie beer-temple. >> in the aftermath of the assassination attempt on former president trump, the ohio state highway patrol will be providing security for senator jd vance after he was named trump's running mate for the 2024 election. vance lives in the cuncinnati area. so troopers are monitoring his home there. >> burglars hit south bay bar and grill. the owner tells us the thieves made off with some diable memorabilia. plus the chp reporting over 700 arrests connected to retail theft. much stolen. merchandise has been recovered. and after the break, an update to a story we brought you yesterday about band stolen from the east bay spca. what the spca says they still need after finding that storm event. >> this is and we ar

something we've heard from tim burchett calling the vice president a dei hire, diversity, exclusion andaria teresa combar. >> senator jones, one source is telling nbc news that senator mark kelly and veteran, former astronaut, of course, husband of gabby giffords is, quote, liked a lot by the harris team. kentucky governor andy beshear is another on the list. tim walz from minnesota. josh shapiro from pennsylvania. a number of others, kentucky. so, let's talk about what you think, you know, all of these people, what you think the vice president should be looking for, and is there someone you think is particularly strong as a candidate? >> well, i think those names you rattled off there, andrea, are amazing. it shows the strength of the democratic party and a bench that's been building for a number of years, the vice president has got to look at a number of things. there's a short-term issue they've got to look at, and that is current record and what they bring to the ticket in terms of trying to get her across the finish line in november but there's also the long term. who best can step

are usualing an end to the racial and gender attacks on harris this after republican congressman tim burchettd she was a dei hire and later said he shouldn't have said it but it was true. is it tougher to attack a woman without facing a backlash? >> the dei hire thing i think is a little weird, but i also think that it's something that is indicative of the real story that was going on in the selection of vice president, which is that frankly the biden family, including joe biden, wanted to pick amy klobuchar and they were forced to pick kamala and they wanted someone that would make the ticket more diverse and those are the same people pushing him off the ticket in favor of her. and i think that that's something that, you know, really was trouble some to the biden family at the time and whether you want to -- and i don't think it's a dei hire because i think -- i mean, come on. she was attorney general and clearly qual qualified and not t picking someone -- howie: we have that on the record and turning to laura and a brief sound byte from donald trump and kamala harris and other deputies did

united states elevating her to a dei hire and one of the people speaking about that was congressman tim burchett, who came on. my sirius xm show this morning, and i asked him about what the response has been to that statement. listen to what he said he wasted. >> said. no, but it was the truth it's not the truth. >> first of all, but why do you think people believe this to be an effective vehicle to undermine her? >> well, it is a dog whistle. they also have nothing else to talk about you know, chip roy said it the best. we don't have a platform to run on we haven't done anything in congress that we can take home and share with our district constituents. so of course they're going to fall back on these very tired tropes. she is the most qualified candidate running for president. i actually wish they would talk about j.d vance, who really is a dei hire i mean, he has absolutely no qualifications and the guy running against her is equally unqualified. so let's spend some time unraveling the incompetence that was the last four years of the trump administration. and then compare it to what she and j

president donald trump, we are now joined by republican congressman, congressman from tennessee, tim burchettthank you very much, sir, for joining us. just give us your thoughts as we do await the president' remarks. >> well, i said that god had his happened on america, i don't think we need to slap it away. you know, when we talk about the rhetoric that's going on, it's kind of ironic in a sickening way that cnn making comparisons to president trump, comparing him to hitler. you have democrat representatives who called for, tried to pass legislation -- 9 of them, in fact -- to take president trump's secret service detail away from him. and then, you know, it just -- everything you all mentioned about the rooftop. i've talked to a marine sniper today, seal sniper, former cia operator, and they all say the same thing, how the hell did he get on top of that roof? if you look at the pictures, he didn't go through the top of the roof. this had to be a ladder or something. somebody really dropped the ball. you've got a dei, basically, person of dei, initiative, person who heads up our secret servi

republican congressman tim burchett called the vice president a d hire, a callback to diversity, equityonly got the role because of her race, and not because of her experience or her skill. breaking news former l.a. mayor antonio villaraigosa is running for california governor. he ran for governor in 2018. he finished third in that primary, and his announcement video posted this morning, he said, quote, i believe we need a problem solver to lead lead our state. that's why i'm running for governor. several other democrats have already announced their candidacy that includes lieutenant governor eleni kounalakis, senator toni atkins, state superintendent tony thurmond and former state controller betty yee. governor newsom will turn term out and cannot run for reelection. >> happening today, people will gather to remember vacaville police officer matthew bowen, who died earlier this month while conducting a traffic stop. his funeral is scheduled for later this morning. investigators say bowen's motorcycle was hit from behind by a woman who's accused of driving under the influence of drugs.

republican tennessee representative tim burchett called harris a dei hire.ther republican congressman said democrats will elevate her because of her ethnic background. speaker johnson is already warning stick to policy complaints. can this republican party do that? >> the speaker is right to do that, to say that. but unfortunately it is usually the least accomplished men who make those attacks. we know it is harder for women, even the most accomplished women get those type of attacks. obviously the vice president has an accomplished career as a attorney, the attorney general, the senator and now the vice president. we know donald trump who is, listen, the guy was, people forget he was bankrupted three or four times, he's been impeached twice, he has been found guilty of sexual assault, obviously a felon as that focus group, a woman made reference to and has all kinds of problems himself. and then you have jd vance who is a junior senator and is much less accomplished than vice president harris. and here he has been out there attacking women as a childless ca

that harris could face more of as we get closer to the election, tennessee republican congressman tim burchett in saying this week that harris was a quote, dei, hire making that a criticism, something others on the right have echoed. >> but speaker mike johnson urged republicans to focus on policy, not these kinds of attacks still trump said, he doesn't want to be nice you know how do you see his usual style as feeding into the harris campaign? they're turning it around making him look very outdated. and, you know, caught up in the past well, i think they're not necessarily making him look that way. i think he does. in fact, look that way, outdated and stuck in the past but i am staunchly still have the capacity to be shocked by some of the things that come out of the mouths politicians, and frankly, you know, it is shocking to me that, someone would rely on such old, outdated, and incorrect tropes about black women and their ambition. and their successes and their accomplishments and you know, when i, also think that so much of the trump brand is built on personality that in some ways that is

he said he was going to hire tim burchett of tennessee, calling the vice president a d hire, a callbackto diversity, equity and inclusion. >> and the expanded role that effort played in the aftermath of the police killing of george floyd. >> and so to call her a d hire, it's as if she would only have this role because of this emphasis on race and inclusion that undermines whatever experience she's had. >> and now the democratic party is calling on vice president harris to use that political experience to do something never done before in history mount a successful bid for the white house in just four months. doctor summers argues that asking a black woman to save the day is also rooted in problematic tropes that paint black women as maternal figures and saviors. take this interaction from cbs's the drew barrymore show, for example. >> we all need a mom. i've been thinking that we really all need a tremendous hug in the world right now. we need you to be mamala of the country, black women are expected to be the ones to not only save individual households, but also kind of this national h

i want you to listen to something that the republican congress the congressman from tennessee, tim burchett, said about the vice president today biden said, first off, he said he's going to hire a black female for vice president, and that not just skipped over. >> what about what about white females? what about any other group? i just when you go down that route how do you take mediocrity? and that's what they have right now as vice president are you suggesting she's dc was a dei hire? 100%. she was idea but once she was elected in two he said he would pick a woman. i don't believe he said anything about race or ethnicity. and of course, you know, she is just qualified as brock obama was when he was elected. but when you see those kind of attacks, i wonder, do you think she is prepared to handle the kind of attacks like that that are going to come her way. >> so first kaitlan, it's called that what you just played for, what it is. that's either a ignorance at best or a dog whistle at worst, and sadly, it is a sign of things to come over the course of the next 106 days of the campaign do i t

republican congressman tim burchett earlier today said it. other republicans have said it in recent days. let me just play them 100%. she was idea hire. >> she's a dei hire. she's a woman. she's colored, therefore, she's gotta be good. >> do you not understand why she was chosen in the first place? she is proven to america why dei doesn't work dei hire so when you have nothing else, when you have nothing else to attack this most qualified candidate for the president of the united states. >> you automatically go to race it's unfortunate and it really doesn't require a response. the reality of the situation is that vice president harris is the most qualified individual for the president of these united states and it's important that individuals, democrats, republicans, and independents gather around her as she seeks the nomination. yeah in these unite the nomination for president of these united states, i support a wholeheartedly and i reject those who want to separate us by race and other artificial constructions artificial barriers, when you

one, congressman tim burchett, indicating that perhaps that she was plucked from the position as vice president simply because of a diversity issue, despite her past backgrounds as senator and a prosecutor and the speaker of the house indicating to me earlier that there could be efforts by republicans at the state level to try to deny harris access are her name on the ballot, suggesting it could run foul of election law i said that we had 50 different systems in each of the states when it comes to presidential elections and choosing electors and all the rest and in some of the states there are impediments to just switching someone out like that. he's suggesting she's she was a dei hire 100%. she was a dei. he said he was going to and then she didn't her record is abysmal are you concerned at all about her more liberal politics for a mob more? >> adraee district like yours. >> it's funny. >> during the primary in 2020, right? she was getting a lot of flak from progressives that she was too far to the middle. and so everyone's trying to frame borough. she's to the laughter she's to cent

so you've got republicans like tim burchett talking about her being a dei hire. you've got other republicans like mike johnson now speaker saying, please don't do this directly. >> please do not yeah. >> so the unity has gone right? it's it's now a new day and the party, it's, it's funny, it's like both campaigns are starting from scratch now. so they're all kind of scrambling. >> let's say, how do you run precedent presidential campaign from scratch in six months, we're about to find out you talk about new campaign strategy, new campaign memo from now, kamala harris campaign. the memo saying that they're not only from jen o'malley dillon, they're not only going to be targeting the blue wall there now also kind of opening back up and going on offense on the sunbelt states, nevada, arizona, georgia, north carolina bullish too, bullish. no, no, no strategically important and necessary. i mean, the biggest problem again, that why the strategists were panicking over a biden candidacy was that they were going to have to sort of really try and win all of the blue wall.

harris and i'm quoting him quote, dumb as a rock, and then listen to your colleague, congressman tim burchett from tennessee, who had this to say biden said first off, he said he's going to hire a black female for vice president and that not just skipped over. >> what about what about white females? what about any other group it just when you go down that route you take mediocrity and that's what they have right now as vice president suggesting she's d she was a dei hire 100%. >> she was a dei hire what's your reaction as eight min like that? well that is a level of insidious prevarication that borders on racism to be very candid with you, i would hope that my colleague would reconsider those words she has demonstrated her worth with her education. she has demonstrated her worth by being elected to the senate then becoming an attorney general and california those kinds of comments are out of place, is a kind of fetch was folly that you expect from republicans. but i didn't expect it from him because i know him but i would hope that he would reconsider what he said. what i do think this there

so a pretty low blow there, but then you have this from tennessee congressman tim burchett biden, said first off, he said he's going to hire a black female for vice president in that not just skipped over. >> what about about white females. what about any other group it just when you go down that route to take mediocrity and that's what they have right now as vice president are you suggesting she's d she was a dei hire 100%. she was a dei hire no one has ever said that about a white male candidate, y, why use this language? well sara just to be sure, did you say that donald trump was a rule-breaker? a few seconds ago? >> of course we know that about him. and look some of the base is going to, is going to eat this up because they do not believe that kamala harris was picked to be vice president on the merits. there are some people who we'll see this as an attack on identity politics. the identity politics that more and more democrats are getting tired of. but i would argue that all democrats did was switch out the who there still saddled with, the, what this might be, the harris for pre

and that's race, which is already we just played comments from congressman tim burchett, who called vice president harris a dei hire. there was a moment at the j.d. vance rally yesterday where he said that he doesn't feel that kamala harris has regularly express his gratitude for america and the way she talks. and then there was this moment where he talked about diet mountain dew and also racism does this watch it democrats see that it is racist to believe well, they say it's racist to do anything i had a diet mountain dew yesterday and one today. >> i'm sure they're going to call that racist too, but it's good you guys there were some please clap vibes, i hate to do this to you, but let's just recall like what happened with jab back in the day. >> watch this yeah. >> yeah. ptsd egypt. >> next president needs to be a lot quieter, but send a signal that we're prepared to act in the national security interests of this country to get back in the business of creating a more peaceful world please clap obviously funny moment there were three living just because but i mean, look, tell me what y

that's been pushed by right-wing broadcaster is in today from tennessee republican congressman tim burchett are you suggesting she's dc was a dei hire 100%. >> she was idea hire. >> joining us now vermont independent senator and former democratic presidential candidate bernie sanders. senator sanders, when you hear phrases like that, dei hire already being used, or are you here? you're an ohio state senator today, jd vance's rally warning. it would take us civil war to save the country of trump is not elected. what does it tell you about why, what lies ahead in the next few months in this campaign? >> well, it's going to be a brutal campaign i believe that kamala harris is going to be the next president of the united states and i think anderson, she has a chance to win the selection big if we can focus on the serious problems facing working families all over this country, politics is not a game, it's thought about polls or misstatements. what it's about is what we can do to address the fact that 60% of our people are living paycheck to paycheck, while the people on top have never, ever had

running, but i want you to listen to something that the republican congressman from tennessee, tim burchettce president today biden said first off, he said he's going to hire a black female, vice president and not just skipped over. >> what about what about white females? what about any other group? i hit just when you go down that route you take mediocrity and that's what they have right now is the vice president. >> do you are you suggesting she's d she was a dei hire 100%. >> she was a dei hire but once she was elected in two, he said he would pick a woman. i don't believe he said anything about race or ethnicity. and of course, you know, she is as qualified as brock obama was when he was elected. but when you see those kind of attacks, i wonder, do you think she is? prepared to handle the kind of attacks like that that are going to come her way so first kaitlan, it's called that what you just played for, what it is. >> that's either a ignorance at best or a dog whistle at worse. and sadly, it is a sign of things to come over the course of the next 106 days of the campaign do i think vic

fall campaign with harris at the top of the ticket, i put the question to republican congressman tim burchettut the fact that they will be going up against someone who would be the first black south asian woman who could be president united states. and what that means for the republican campaign biden said first off, he said he's going to hire a black female for vice president in that not just skipped over. >> what about what about white females? what about any other group i it, just, when you go down that route you take mediocrity and that's what they have right now as vice president suggesting she's d she was a dei hire 100%. she was idea he said he was going to hire and then she didn't record is abysmal we know that as a former prosecutor, she can prosecute the case against a convicted felon and make the case to the american people that she is really primed and ready to take over as the leader of our country. and that allows congressman, congressman dan goldman, a democrat from new york, expressing what allied other democrats are saying, they believe that she can draw a sharper contrast wi

against kamala harris focused on policy after comments like this one from republican congressman tim burchett earlier in the week drew backlash 100%. >> she was a dei higher. >> and of course dei stands for diversity, equity, and inclusion the congressional black caucus chair steven horsford called those remarks, quote, inappropriate and offensive. when asked about burchett's comment referring to harris as a dei hire, the house speaker, mike johnson, had this to say this election, as i noted at the outset, is going to be about policies, not personalities. this is not personal with regard to kamala harris and her ethnicity or her gender, had nothing to do with this whatsoever? >> harris is, on track to become the first black woman and first asian american to lead a major party's presidential ticket joining us now is punchbowl news andrew desiderio and farnoush amiri of the associated press. good morning to both of you. thank you so much for being here farnoush we heard from both mike johnson and also his predecessor, kevin mccarthy on this johnson telling our haley talbot that these, these lin

they're just better manu had asked tim burchett say, well, what do you think? what did you think about clarence thomas? what his answer might be would be pretty illuminative of where they're at on that, right? >> magna, let me ask you a question. if you say the idea that vance they see vance is being attracted to the working class. i read that book and he just basically called him lazy has shifted the page after page if there's like bashir seems so interesting to me because his whole point is he's not us how, what is the reason they think that this private equity dude who went to yale law school is actually attracted to the working class because i watched those jokes bomb and everything else that happened today while he doesn't seem like a fit for these people in because among other things, he got elected to the senate then ohio because he actually is able to tell a compelling biographical story. does that mean that the sheer would be somebody who would be effective against him and knocking that down possibly. and that's something that i know that they're consi

from some republicans have been, oh, how should we say racist and sexist, including congressman tim burchett of tennessee who called her a "dei hire." will this attack land? sen. kaine: it's going to backfire big time. but look, when your leaders have to write a letter to house members telling them not to say racist and sexist things -- [laughter] you know, important safety tip. they're not going to be able to help themselves. i don't have a phd in misogyny because i'm a man, but i got a master's degree in misogyny being on the ticket with hillary, and watching the degree of misogyny. from outright misogyny, memes and things that were horrible, to the "lock her up" stuff, to comey basically following a set of rules with respect to trump. you don't talk about a pending investigation. you don't inject controversy into the closing phase of a campaign, but then violating that set of rules with respect to hillary, double standard. and so that's a real thing, and it's not like anybody's wave to -- waved a magic wand and made it disappear since 2016. i think the challenge for those kinds of attacks

tennessee republican congressman tim burchett said it was the right move. they're just all in the constitution. but senate democratic leader chuck schumer called the ruling breathtakingly misguided. he said it, quote, flies in the face of long accepted practice and repetitive judicial precedents. california congressman adam schiff also critical of the ruling writing, quote, today's precedent shattering decision in florida is further proof that the guardrails of our democracy are coming down. smith can appeal the case for a higher court to weigh in. it's unclear yet if that will happen in washington. i'm maddie beer-temple. for more on how day one of the republican national convention played out kron four's graham, lotus and vicki liviakis spoke with san jose state political science lecturer donna crane. >>donna, thanks for your time. good to see you. how do you make sense process? what has happened the past few days when you consider that the shooting saturday? you know, the court case that was thrown out today. jd vance says here the biden issues that are
