kamala harris for the people. [cheers and applause] i knew our criminal justice system was deeply flawed. i also knew the profound impact law enforcement has on people lives. it's responsibility is to give them safety and dignity. i knew i wanted to protect people and i knew the people in our society who are most often targeted by predators are also most often the voiceless and vulnerable. i believe -- [chanting] on that point, i believe -- i believed then as i do now, no one should be left to fight alone. [cheers and applause] in our system of justice, we believe a harm against any of us is a harm against all of us. that is why when a case is final, it does not read the name of the victim, that it reads, the people. this is a point i have often explained to counsel, survivors of crime, people who face harm often at the hands of someone they trust, be it a relative or a bank or a corporation, i would remind them, you are not invisible. we all stand together. that is the power of the people. my whole life i have on

that's what harris is arguing. say what you will about that position, but it is not in any sense moderate. it's radical. and many of harris' views are whether you like it or not. consider this tape in which she claims all the federal government should respond to the coronavirus pandemic. again, whatever you think of affirmative action, it's like you never imagined affirmative action would be applied to life-saving medical treatment, but kamala harris thinks it should be. >> the disparities that have long existed based on race are noww highlighted, so one of the things i'm calling for around this pandemic is that we make decisions about where the resources should go based on that issue. >> tucker: so we make decisions about where the resources should go to keep people from dying on the basis of skin color. so only people of a certain color get the vaccine, for example. that's what she's arguing. this is a lot of things. it's immoral. it's unconstitutional, obviously. but above all it is definitely not moderate. nor

kamala harris believes that. she did it as attorney general and as the d.a. >> tucker: i'm wondering, will they get rid of the carried interest loophole that allows private equity moguls to pay half the tax rate the rest of us wage earners pay? if you wanted to make the country fair you would change the tax code but they are servants of wall street so they won't. it's a tiny bit nauseating. >> i think they are talking about changing the tax code to tilted toward the middle class in a way from bias towards the rich. >> tucker: if it's part of that. it's a scam and everyone knows it's a scam but they never will because their donors are -- how can a ticket supported primarily by the tech moguls and wall street fight for economic fairness? sincere question. >> tucker, donald trump had the house, the senate, and the white house for two years and did nothing against corporate interest. you're complaining about joe biden's position. >> tucker: i know you want to make everything about trump. today joe biden joe senator h

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

but so far no sign of harris. we are seeing a large crowd gathering here of neighbors and crowd but no harris. i do want to show you a picture that is coming from the former vice president's instagram feed. take a look at this. we're just learning this photo was taken today when he was informing harris she would be his pick for vice president. i have the great honor to announce i've picked at kamala harris a 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 beau. and i watched as they took on the big banks, lifted up working people and protected kids and women from abuse. i am proud her to have my partner in this campaign. and, anderson, i know that we have heard from arlette and others, jeff zeleny. but beau biden really playing a big role in this, in the fundraising emails and the announcement emails in this photo he speaks of beau biden's relationship with kamala harris. but here in washington, d

roosevelt, harry s. truman became the 32nd president of the united states on the evening of pril 12, 1945. president truman quickly and skillfully assumed all of franklin d. roosevelt's responsibilities. among the many important problems and duties was the united nations conference of international organization in san francisco, to which the president journeyed by plane. at san francisco's hamilton field, the president is welcomed by a host of high-ranking officers and world diplomats, ambassadors, ministers, secretaries of foreign affairs, the governor of california, united states senators, and equally important representatives from all the continents of the earth. diplomatic readings were followed by meeting the ilitary. the president inspects the guard of honor, his first formal inspection of a military unit since he became president of the united states. when he came abreast of the bandleader, mr. truman stepped aside to thank him for his election of the music. his greetings and official inspection o

here is the way we ended that interview with kamala harris ten years ago. >> kamala harris, attorney general elect of california. thank you pour joining me tonight. >> thank you. >> and you are invited back on the program to announce your presidential campaign in 2016, as soon as you are ready to make that announcement for 2016. thank you very much. >> i'm ready to get to work as ag. thank you. >> thank you. >> she ran for senate in 2016, after senator barbara boxer announced that she would not run for re-election. kamala harris won 61% of the vote that time. she won 54 out of 58 counties in california. and she was, then, a proven vote-getter in the biggest state in the union. and she was perfectly positioned to spend eight years in the united states senate, gaining the governing experience and the resume credibility to run for president of the united states. but something happened the night that kamala harris was elected to the united states senate that was not supposed to happen. hillary clinton lost the electoral college. and so, the next opening to run for president was, suddenly

and advice for kamala harris from sarah palin. tomorrow kamala harris joins joe biden in person to kick off their campaign. tonight, though, a lot of reaction and not all of it is positive. >> so what is at stake? can center harris transform the ticket and give biden the boost to beat donald trump? nbc bay area's cheryl hurd kicks off our coverage in harris' hometown of oakland. >> reporter: a kamala harris vice presidential nomination creating excitement among many supporters, particularly women. >> the american dream just got a little more real today. >> reporter: oakland mayor libby schaaf putting into perspective the significance of joe biden choosing california's junior senator as his running mate. >> so many americans can see themselves in kamala's story. >> reporter: harris was born at kaiser hospital in oakland in 1964. she is the daughter of indian and jamaican immigrants, living with her mother and sister in this duplex in berkeley, attending thousand oaks elementary, where a mural is now painted in her honor. senator ha

i'm harris faulkner. the president was life treating barack obama's scathing speech, questioning the former president support for joe biden. why did he refuse to endorse low joe until it was all over, and even then was very late? why did he try to get him not to run?" other democrats also dropped the gloves, as "the hill" put it, unleashing a fury of assaults on the incoming president. >> for close to four years he has shown no interest in putting in the work. no interest in finding common ground, no interest in using the awesome power of his office to help anyone but himself and his friends. >> people have told me, "i didn't realize how dangerous he was. i wish i could do it all over. or, worst, "i should have voted. look, this can't be another woulda, coulda, shoulda election. >> we have a president who turns our tragedies into political weapons. joe will be a president who turns our challenges into purpose. >> harris: and this is developing, president trump is now headed to joe biden's birth state of p

biden choosing senator kamala harris as his running mate. >> harris is the first black woman and first indian american on a major party ticket. she'll make a joint appearance with biden today in wilmington, delaware. harris reportedly found out she was selected 90 minutes before the announcement. >> reaction is pouring in. former president obama said biden nailed the decision. president trump responded calling harris nasty. >> vice president pence said, congratulations, i'll see you in salt lake city, which is where they'll debate. >> reporter: for the first time in our nation's history, a black woman is on the ticket. the first asian american too. after weeks of speculation, joe biden this afternoon over video chat informing senator kamala harris of his historic decision. biden tweeting the news, i have the great honor to announce that i've picked kamala harris, a fearless fighter for the little guy and one of the country's finest public servants, as my running mate. harris responding, joe biden can unify the person people because he's spent his life fighting for us. as president he'l

harris didn't prosecute a single new case. it's possible of course that none were reported but when you look at the numbers from the government accountability institute showing that all of the larger cities in the country had a least one prosecution during that time it looks like harris caved to her cities politically powerful catholic establishment. why would, la tijera's do something like that? let's see, during her campaign as d.a. she received unprecedented amounts of cash from the catholic establishment in tampa and cisco. all told more than $60,000 in donations in return she covered up their sexual abuse scandal. as far as i'm concerned there is no worse crime than the sexual abuse of children and yet kamala harris sided with the abusers against the victims. that is sickening. amy klobuchar's vice presidential hopes were killed by something which frankly she had a far better explanation than harris ever did but it shows in the modern democratic party identity politics trump's everything even child sexual abuse. how could

harris was scorched by a federal judge after harris and her staff defend the indefensible after it was revealed that a state prosecutor falsified a transcript of a confession. so ever since, harris has, well, set foot on capitol hill, she's been working overtime to pander to the far left and pretend like none of that ever happen. remember the michael brown case, ferguson, missouri? just last year, tweeted "michael brown's murder forever changed ferguson and america and his tragic death sparked a desperately needed conversation and a nationwide movement. we must fight for stronger accountability of racial equality in our justice system." and by the way, even the justice department of obama said he was innocent. membership promoted the hate crime hoax saying this was an attempted modern-day lynching. wrong again. now more recently, harris actually appear to endorse the idea of less cops on the street. this wouldn't end well, take a look. >> we have confused the idea that to achieve safety you put more cops on the street, we really do need to understand and reimagine what and how we can a

not another been kamala harris. >>governor gavin newsome previously endorsed harris for president when she was a candidate he tweeted about harris principled brilliant compassionate empathetic on us the perfect choice for joe biden that's kamala harris let's go win this. house speaker nancy pelosi released a statement that reads quote as a united states senator, a california attorney general and in every leadership position she has held kamala harris has advanced a more just and fair future for all rooted in strong values and her proud american story vice president harris will be a tireless champion for hardworking families everywhere. and this tweet by oakland mayor libby shaft. she's from oakland as well and we already talked about kamala harris being born and raised in oakland chaff says hello proud our country needs this fierce and compassionate woman in the white house. now let's fight like health for a biden harris winning in november. president trump is weighing in on biden's pick the trump campaign had an ad

what would you want out of senator harris or vice president harris? >> i think first and foremost she understands the importance of supporting mayors and supporting cities. i've had numerous conferriversa with her and it's clear to me she gets it. these are difficult issues and it gives us an opportunity to right past wrongs and move forward but we've got do it in a way where we find common ground and we're unified in our approach. i think kamala harris understands that. obviously joe biden gets it. he spent a lot of time talking to mayors, not just me but kiesha lance bottoms and really mayors across the country because he understands the importance of making sure that local voices have a seat at the table. it will be a welcome change from what we've been experiencing the last four years. >> claire mccaskill, next question. >> mayor, i know that you are struggling with the intersection of peaceful protests and angst in the community versus lawlessness. i think a lot of people have spent time talking about joe biden's legislative record and certainly

tonight here, who is kamala harris? her childhood, her firsts, the history that she has made already. and what about all of that talk about senator harris took aim at biden on the debate stage during the primaries? and the former vice president himself and his own notes on kamala harris in recent days, captured in a photo, in his own writing, writing, "do not hold grudges." it seemed to be a major hint that this was coming. and tonight, president trump, just moments ago, weighing in on this pick. abc's mary bruce leading us off. >> reporter: tonight, for the first time in our nation's history, a black woman is on the ticket. the first asian-american, too. after weeks of speculation, joe biden this afternoon over video chat informing senator kamala harris of his historic decision. biden then tweeting the news -- "i have the great honor to announce that i've picked kamala harris -- a fearless fighter for the little guy, and one of the country's finest public servants -- as my running mate." harris responding -- "joe biden

senator kamala harris of california. the news broke about 4:15 eastern time with texts and email from biden going out to his campaign supporters, saying -- >> he followed up shortly with a tweet calling senator harris -- >> the senator's first reaction came on twitter, writing she's honored to join the ticket and do what it takes to make biden the commander in chief. it was a fitting virtual reveal and reaction for a campaign that's been running almost entirely without in-person events for months amid the coronavirus crisis. joe biden's campaign photographer posted this photo after the announcement, showing the moment that he told senator harris that he had selected her as his vp today over video chat from his home in delaware. but they are actually going to be together in person tomorrow. they'll deliver remarks at an event near biden's long-time home in wilmington, delaware. a lot of americans were introduced to senator harris during her presidential campaign last year. she was born and raised in california. the daught

harris's father from jamaica, an economics professor at stanford. her mother left india to attend berkeley, becoming a leading breast cancer researcher after they divorced harris and little sister maya were raised mostly by their mom. she passed away in 2009, but harris has called her the most important influence in her life today quoting her in this new biden campaign ad. >> growing up, whenever i got upset about something my mother would look me in the eye and ask, so what are you going to do about it? >> reporter: harris is now 55, a wife and step-mother, but she's often candid about how her early experiences shaped her, including perhaps the most talked about and controversial moment of her presidential run, when she criticized her now running mate's record on bussing. >> growing up my sister and i had to deal with the neighbor who told us her parents couldn't play with us because we were black you know, there was a little girl in california who was part of the second class to integrate her public schools and she was bussed to school every day a

senator harris ran for president this past year. if you had asked me at the start of the democratic presidential primary who among the 27 candidates in the race was most likely to win, i would have told you that i thought kamala harris was most likely to win that race. i thought that she was going to win the primary, that she was going to become the democratic nominee. this is why i'm not a pundit. do not ask me to pundit. my punditry is stunted. it bears no fruit. i cannot see in the future when it comes to electoral prospects. do not ask me. but i thought she would win. she did not win. that said, i think there's a reason this is where we are. in terms of that presidential campaign, she announced she was running for president in january 2019. that made her the third office-holding african-american woman to ever seek the democratic nomination. she announced her candidacy on mlk day. that also happened to be 47 years to the day that shirley chisholm had launched her presidential bid, the first african-american woman to serve in cong

>> harris, a lot

but i think kamala harris is ready for that. she proved that during the primary fight and i thought it was instructive that joe biden chose somebody that stood up to him. that said a lot, says a lot about him, says an awful lot about her. >> not since reagan-bush have you seen that. that turned out to be effective. i think you're right. i think some voters like to know oh, you respect somebody who's willing to go after you. claire mccaskill, how would you assess joe biden. there were pitfalls during the vetting process they avoided. we can nitpick, but for the most part i don't think there's going to be sore feelings. i'm curious, how do you think they handled this, do you think they -- how do you think biden handled the vetting process? >> first of all, one of the things you want in a presidential campaign is the kind of tight lipped access to the really important stuff. they kept this quiet. this was amazing, especially when everyone is having more time on their phones because nobody is traveling anywhere. the fact that this d

instead senator harris tweeltti today. she says she is honored to be picked as biden's running mate and she believes biden will, quote, build an america that lives up to our ideals. president trump was on the offensive. within minutes of the announcement he tweeted out this new campaign attack ad. in the ad he calls harris a phony embraced the left's manifesto and also played up harris' attacks against joe biden during last years debates. >> if they win and harris becomes the vice president she would be the first female vice president. more reaction from harris' long time friend and colleague former san francisco mayor willie brown and insight on politics in black america. >> reporter: former san francisco mayor willie brown and a one time political mentor to senator kamala harris glowing with excitement today after learning joe biden named her his running mate in the november general election. >> as a black man i am absolutely blown away that there is on that ticket a black woman for a vice-presidency. >> reporter: brown

harris? >> harris: wow. matt finn, thank you very much. >> democrat-run cities across this country are being overrun by violent mobs. the violence is rampant. there is looting, chaos, destruction, and murder. president trump is the law and order president, from our borders and our backyard. >> we will have law and order on the streets of this country, for every american, of every reese and creed and color. >> harris: several speakers at the republican national convention last night heavily pushing president trump's message of law and order. some democrats are reportedly concerned, worried that the unrest and kenosha, wisconsin, could incur some swing state voters to vote for president trump in november, after condemning the violence and a video message, joe biden, just today, about an hour ago, again culture piece. >> how do i condemn violence in any form, whether it's looting or wherever it is. i spoke to the family. mom was a fairly straightforward. "this is not who we are as a family, this is not who my s

harris. >> harris: yes. that's a difference. good to see you. i want to bring in now karl rove former deputy chief of staff to george w. bush. great to you have on the program. is too much being made about these comments that joe biden has said about the black community in particular? they are on the heels of his also saying if you don't vote for him you are not black. there is a trend line of what being black means to joe biden. >> yes. well, we had the trifecta. the comment he made if you are not voting for me, you are not black. the contentious interview with a reporter who asked him if he would take a cognitive test and he responded come on, man, are you a junkie? and then this. this is a problem for him. it's problematic for 2 reasons. one is the trump campaign manager made an interesting comment on monday. it was absolutely right. i am sure people inside the high command of the biden campaign share it. every day between now and election day is vital. you either win that day or you lose that day. and joe biden lost thursday with these comme

: good to see you. >> josh: good to see you, harris. >> harris: chart with chief best and what could not have be an easy decision for her. why was it necessary? >> josh: i think a lot of us hoped that ewould never get to the point that americans are suffering the consequence of prolonged liberal government of american cities but the consequences are here. and with this particular case, the real problem honestly is you can't over time disrespect, defund the police department, pretend like they don't exist. the concerns about the community are non-existent. you can't do those things and then hope that good people will choose to serve the communities. what we have seen in seattle, perfect example of the neglect of the police department, law enforcement in general that unfortunately in the end means a qualified police chief decided to walk away. >> harris: dagen, this hurts on so many levels. you and i have been talking for months now about the accomplishment but the continuing need to address issues of race relations, citizen relations among the police officers. finding the evil ones am

she is right outside of harris' home. tell us there what the reaction is. >> reporter: well, pamela, we have not seen kamala harris here at her condo building since sunday. that was the last time our crews laid eyes on her. we did see her husband earlier today going out for a coffee. but other than that we have not seen them here. of course a lot of buzz in this neighborhood though as people come out to check out what's going on. we're getting information, too, a statement in from susan rice who was also in the running to be biden's running mate. she put out a statement saying she is confident that biden/harris will be a winning ticket and is committed to doing whatever it takes to make sure that they win in november. back here in washington, d.c., we're also seeing tweets from harris' husband and jill biden, of course, the political spouses going back and forth. jill biden asking are you ready? her husband saying, let's do this. so you can see the team really forming. those two couples at the top of the ticket ready to a

/biden, it's biden/harris. their first evidence event will be right here in wilmington. jillian and todd. jillian: reacting to the announcement, president trump doubled down on harris and her left leaning views. todd: here's what he said to sean hannity. >> she wants to raise taxes. she wants to get rid of your second amendment. no guns for protection, no nothing. she is a very strong -- she is very strong on the second amendment, getting rid of it and very bad for the military. she wants to cut the military. she wants to cut spending for the military and the vets and, you know, i don't quite get the choice but we'll have it out. todd: how does the november rate look now that a huge piece of the puzzle is complete? jillian: fox news contributor, rachel campus duffy, joins us live to react. good morning, good to see you. >> good to see you. good morning. jillian: when the news came out yesterday, rachel, i'm sure you guys like many people, you kind of flip the channels to hear everyone's take on this and to hear

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 u
