if they did it with kamala harris. it looks like she's not the one. >> she had that -- remember she got out first and in the clip -- that first grouchy headset for cisco and i believe at the time even president trump was like wow, that's a pretty big crowd. but just becausear your first, doesn't meann you're going to be first in the long run. so she had that big moment on the debate stage earlier in the summer when she went after joe biden. on an issue important to the democratic base and then for some reason she took her foot off the gas. and the rest of the summer has sort of been a lost one for her and i think that's why even in her own state, as you point out, she's now pulling fifth. i think that she is somebody as a prosecutor -- she has the ability to take it to either biden or warren or somebody, but instead she made the decision at the last debate she would just take it straight to president trump as if they were having a general election contest and obviously that is not happening. i think that her funders ar

>> kamala harris is now running for president. and she is one of the top tier candidates. >> there is a new challenger to trump and she's drawing huge crowds, senator, harris of california. trump is envious as. >> on paper, she has the highest ceiling. >> tucker: these people are so stupid, it's remarkable. kamala harris, she is a star. destine for big things. she's like obama, 2.0. even more diversity points out there in america. they love kamala harris. she's like pete seeger. for eight months, they try to cram that story down your throa throat. "the times" has looked almost semipossible if we close one ey eye. she did nonstick joe biden as a racist. it later emerged that harris herself had doubts about school busing. in fact, almost no african family in america supported school busing. it was and a disaster. yeah, brutal. just dominated the guy. turns out she didn't actually dominate anybody and she's not dominating anybody. a new poll from california, obviously her home state, which she represents is the united states senate s

kamala harris went to howard, also a prestigious black university. the crowd will be with her tonight, i think. jane: you will be watching for us. thank you indeed for joining us. fomore on what to watch out for, i'm joined by democratic strategist stephanie brown james. it is an interestingituation, as laura pointed out, where you guard in the league.t the old what is happening? >> people are looking for stabilityno and quantities and factors. that is what you invited and elizabeth warren -- invite and elizabeth warren. and same thing ws.h bernie sand while you have young votersho support cory booker those three top front runners gain traction not just wit older americans, but with younger americans as well. jane: but what does this say about the direction of the party? you have this pull to the left. is the left losing? stefanie: is that democrats want someone who can beat president truon in the elecnext year, but they also want someone who can providee starection and a clear path forward which is why i think we want here vice prident biden talk ab

i want to tell you why i had decided to support kamala harris for president. i was first attracted to senator harris because after four years of donald trump i felt there was nothing our country needed more than reconciliation and healing. than any ofe more the other candidates as a unifier that could bring our country together rather than split it further apart. i saw her here at the south church. people were waiting in the snow to see her. bold,attracted to her thoughtful policy proposals on a range of issues, from raising teacher salaries to access to health care, to combating climate change. most importantly, i was attracted to her strength of character, her toughness, her resolve. i saw in her not only a former attorney general who could prosecute the case against this president, as her campaign likes to say, but more importantly as a tough, disciplined, successful prosecutor who will not only prosecute the case but will try to convict this president and his administration and the republican party abandoning our country, the constitution and our values. [

kamala harris had a strong night. elz bet warren knows who she is. when she gives we should withdraw our troops without a deal, that's a problem. and she and bernie aren't winning over new converts. >> i was struck by the two search presidents that were part of this debate. one was barack obama. the last debate, he was the enemy and the villain. this time, it was overture after overtu overture, to explain. you might want to go after barack obama at this time. i hear he's a big deal. that's why -- >> you could call them all. >> i said radical. the other one was, the distinction between all of the candidates who wanted to essentially have this civility issue and wanted to talk, in the weeds on medicare and et cetera. you had one candidate who kept wanting to remind people, this is all about president trump, kamala harris, who undisputedly kept trying to say and frame the conversation about, this discussion is fine. we have one goal here. cory booker backed this up and said we have one shot to do this. it was about the idea that who was not there and wh

wow. >> this is the fork in the road for kamala harris. she can go down this path similar to where rubio ended up where you're well liked by all segments of the base. you have ideological essentials where in kamala harris' case some progressives like her. you're well liked by the establishment and many of the establishment figures see her as a very strong, formidable candidate but you can't translate on the ground because not enough people view you as the first choice. the other side is the barack obama arc. he also was struggling at this point and he grew, he became much better at this and at the very end he made it happen when it mattered. that's where you saw kamala harris down play the polls. >> very well said. >>> everybody stand by. up next, a full week after wrongly warning that alabama was in hurricane dorian's path. president trump just can't let it go. ♪ ) romo mode.

i was impressed with kamala harris, both amy klobuchar in minnesota and kamala harris had questions about their role as district attorney and as prosecutors in their respective states. amy klobuchar i thought did little better than kamala harris in defending her record, frankly. i also thought amy klobuchar had one of the best lines of the night when she turned to bernie sanders on healthcare and said, yes, you wrote yourdamn healthcare and said, yes, you wrote your damn bill, but i read it. which was a real killer line. and she said 149 million people would lose their private health insurance, didn't she? she did, and with kamala harris, she defended her record i thought not as well, not as strongly. i don't think she had a great night tonight. so bill, the front runner so far, in your view? great night tonight. so bill, the front runner so far, in your view?” think there are three front runners. i had to give your political answer, butjoe biden and elizabeth warren and bernie sanders. and of the three of them, i thinkjoe biden and elizabeth warren had the best night tonight, and i thi

live from the newsroom. >> senator kamala harris was born in oakland. throughout her speech spoke about this being her hometown headquarters. her first office in this state. message all about unity. packed house. volunteers and supporters of senator kamala harris on the roof, in the hallways and backyard of the new headquarters in oakland. >> vast majority of us have so much more in common than what separates us. that's how we'll be running this campaign. >> spoke about unity, resonated with sawyer who listened from the hallway. >> really felt coming here and listening to her talk got me more convinced she's on the right track. planning to vote for her. >> also local politicians. >> it's not just going to help oakland but with the love recei most recent poll in california by uc berkeley is telling a different story. shows her fourth among likely democratic primary voters. asked about that. you're not concerned? >> i know how to work hard. i know i must earn the vote of everyone and intend doing that. that's what we've done every time and we've won. >> s

kamala harris, who is she in the race? what's her card? >> i think she's trying to straddle a little of both and that's part of her struggle, right, especially in a spraulg fie -- sprawling field. it's difficult in a crowded field but her strategy doesn't seem to be a messaging shift, though. she's more focused in getting on the ground in iowa. she's been fundraising, it's taken away from the trail, but now she's had to refocus. >> people are concerned with biden perhaps there is an age issue, maybe he's a little loose-lipped. since he first ran in 1988, there were concerns about elizabeth warren's electability in terms of her idealogy and that goes the same for bernie sanders. harris has to show that she is the most electable alternative to those three people and it's not exactly clear what her path is. >> she'll spend more time in iowa, you have more close encounters with voters, what does she say? >>> up next, why president trump says he's moving, quote, very slowly on gun legislation. i didn't have to shout out for help. i didn't have

i was preparing mine. >> california senator and 2020 democratic presidential candidate kamala harris during brett kavanaugh's confirmation hearings. this was senator harris this weekend in light of new reporting about the sexual assault allegations against justice kavanaugh. "i sat through those hearings. brett kavanaugh lied to the u.s. senate, most importantly, to the american people. he was put on the court through a sham process and his place on the court is an insult to the pursuit of truth and justice. he must be impeached." joining us now here in studio for "the interview" is senator kamala harris, democrat from california, 2020 presidential candidate. senator, it's nice to see you. >> thank you, rachel. >> a sham process. you're saying that he lied to the committee. what do you mean specifically? >> as you mentioned, i was a part of that hearing and a sham process that we were not given all the information that was available, at the 11th hour literally the night before the hearing was to begin, thousands of pages were dumped on us. we knew and certainly i knew that there were

. >> look, they did for a minute with kamala harris. because of the debate with kamala harris when she had that breakout moment, then there was that spike and everything returned to the mean. but who knows. >> i mean, there was a heck of a breakout moment for kamala harris. if she could repeat that in a way that furthers her campaign, it's going to be remarkable. if you're buttigieg, o'rourke, harris, klobuchar, castro, yang, i mane this must be so frustrating to know it has essentially been unyielding no matter what momentum you have. you're getting on this debate stage. you're one of ten people. and here you are still on the outskirts of the stage hoping to have that one moment to talk to you. i hope that's going to translate to people seeing them as powerless or have the electability question finally answered. >> or maybe people want something familiar right now. voters are playing it safe. >> the mac and cheese of voting? the comfort food? >> that's the biden argument. that's the substance of the biden campaign. couple things, jess.

i think what kamala harris did going after trump is -- >> i happen to know kamala harris can hear us. let's share a moment from her on stage before we hear from her live from chris matthews. >> let's talk about the fact that donald trump came into office and spent almost the entire first year of his term trying to get rid of the affordable care act. we all fought against it, and then the late, great john mccain at that moment in about 2:00 in the morning killed his attempt to take health care from millions of people in this country. let's focus on the end goal. if we don't get donald trump out of office, he's going to get rid of all of it. >> chris matthews with kamala harris in houston. >> you did set the key note tonight i thought with your correcting of the focus of the night morally on trump. >> that is what the -- >> why did you decide to do that instead of debating your opponents about who has this and that to say trump is the bad guy? >> because he is. that's why i'm in the race. that's why everyone on the stage i believe is in the race. there is so much that has yet in this ca

and kamala harris. here's why. whoever wins the primary will likely win in the november and we don't hear them saying fake news or racist comments. i hope that the racist comments come back and hurt them. host: let's go to karen, from michigan. caller: good morning. first, i am so sick of trumps corruption and lies and i would wouldor any democrat that get in against him. but i'm behind amy klobuchar. she has great ideas. i think she can come through for the country. the only thing she needs to do is go more aggressive on stage and let people know she's there. i'm framing. a.t: -- i am for host: we covered her last week. ourcan check her out in video library and as well as all of our programming dating back to 1987. one saying no gun grabber will never be elected again, this was a picture of senator warren pictured as pocahontas. one color talks about how democrats offer nothing, even though they lowered health-care pre-existingotect conditions while gop will take that away. carl is joining us from massachusetts. d

the job of investigating planned parenthood went to kamala harris. she had a very different target in mind. the journalist who found the footage. harris sent police to his home and seized his film footage. we spoke to david earlier. and this is what he said about it. is any of that mischaracterizing what happened? you bring to light clearly illegal and appalling and immoral behavior by planned parenthood and then become the target of a criminal investigation? >> that's correct. when kamala harris was attorney general of the state of california, she worked hand in glove with her political backers at planned parenthood no less than six top level executives at planned parenthood of california met with her in person in los angeles in march of 2016. we have the documents from discovery in the case that her office ultimately launched against me and one of cnp's investigators. top planned parenthood executives met with kamala harris in march of 2016 specifically requesting that she use the law enforcement powers of her office to seize dozens of hours of unr

i mean, kamala harris is very good, too. i thought elizabeth warren was very good. there's no question that where reality meets these plans is a big chasm right now. and the truth is, to spend 40 minutes on -- on, you know, in the weeds policy about health care, something we're not going to remember in the morning. >> a little bit of it is that's the responsibility of the journalists, right? and they got a great panel up there asking questions. but it does make me wonder if these people see the forest for the trees. you know, they're, like, talking about, i can keep this one, you're going to lose that one, this one is incremental, might be mine is buying, in yours they have to opt in. the other guy, holding an ax, you're a socialist bum, mine will be better. >> kamala harris, she hadn't brought up donald trump in that respect, up until that point it was as though every democrat on that stage was running against each other an there was no general election on the horizon at all. i think senator harris deserves some credit for being the first one to say hi, remember, d

video from the event shows kamala harris appearing to laugh and responding, well said. the comment drew criticism from a variety of groups, including disability rights activists. senator harris says she did not hear the voter clearly and apologized, saying that language is unacceptable. >>> democratic nominee front-runner joe biden is going viral for a gaffe he made on the campaign trail in new hampshire today. listen to this. >> i believe history will look back in this presidency as an aberrant moment in time. but if donald him -- donald trump is re-elected -- freudian slip. >> it is the second contest following the iowa caucuses. >>> facial recognition is being used at the busiest airport in california. delta airlines began using the facial recognition program yesterday at l.a.x. the cameras are used at one boarding gate with plans to add more. critics of the technology say the images collected can be stored and used to violate a person's privacy. delta says it doesn't save or store the biometric data though. if a customer chooses, they don't want to use facial recogn

kamala harris, kamala harris, kamala harris, kamala harris, kamala harris, compares. the president chose the words locked and loaded after an attack on the saudi arabian oil field, but this morning the white house says that's not necessarily a military reference. >> okay. >> president trump said this morning, we will help our allies. that is referring to possible military action? joining us mike rogers, former republican house intelligence committee chairman. always good to have you on, chairman rojjers. >> thanks for having me. >> it's interesting the president seemed to raise military action in a tweet as he often does, pulls back, and when you put that in the context of the president having pulled back on a military response to iran shoot down of a drone some weeks ago, where the president pulled back minutes before that attack, what's your read of that and where does that put the threat or credibility of a threat of a military response to this attack? >> yeah. any time something like this happens the military will have some contingency plans already in place that

california senator kamala harris now has 8% support. south bend indiana mayor pete buttigieg has 6%. former texas congressman beto o'rourke has 4%, and former san antonio mayor julian castro and new jersey senator cory booker are at 2%. the rest of the field comes in with 1% of the vote or less. joining us now is cbs news elections and surveys director anthony salvanto. anthony, always good to have you here. tell me about this reshuffling. >> well, this is the story of elizabeth warren rising, not necessarily joe biden falling. he is about where he has been. but her support and that boost she's getting is as a result of other candidates, now former supporters, moving to elizabeth warren. and we have seen this because in this survey, we have gone back and reinterviewed thousands of voters since the summer. and what we see is in particular from kamala harris, her supporters have now moving to elizabeth warren, and at twice the rate that they have proved proved -- moved to joe biden and other candidates. she is clearly picking up some of t

we saw -- we saw kamala harris pivoting to attacking trump instead of other democrats. you can see her thinking, her calculation, voters like something to do with electability and ultimately he's the real opponent. we saw bernie sanders including that clip we just saw a couple of seconds ago talking about why he's the original. so all of those are storylines that we're going to see play out. >> yeah, but you know to your point here, it's still joe biden, elizabeth warren, bernie sanders. so the other seven on stage, and the other extended candidates, have they figured out how to take those three on effectively? >> no. and it's going to be very hard for them to raise money in the days ahead. and one of the most striking things is we watched the debate was the pack hasn't figured out how to take on elizabeth warren. just in the first couple rounds everybody was on biden. elizabeth warren is now the one that's the threat and the prediction you hear from republicans, republicans are starting to think that it may be elizabeth warren that they're against and they're worried a

kamala harris' campaign is in trouble. right? she's been losing ground in iowa nationally the past few mornts. can she get that back? we're going to try and compete there. we know if we can win in iowa, that can change the entire campaign. >> what do you think of the -- seems like a big admission hearing from folks around the campaign that they need to finish top tier in iowa or -- >> toast. >> something. what does that say putting that out there. >> top tier or toast. it's a sign of a campaign that's flailing. campaigns begin and they look at the map, super tuesday has been moved up. california is in there. kamala harris is somebody who can really get a lot of the imagination. she's a candidate, voters want to know the most about. after she attacked biden, shah boomeranged back on her big time. this poll in iowa is brutal. she goes from 18 to 5 in three months. she knows she's got to go all in. it's also a concession that new hampshire is unwinnable for anybody not named elizabeth warren or possibly bernie sanders who won it las

. >> and, we sit down one on one with presidential candidate kamala harris. what she says about health care, impeachment, and working to move up in the polls. and we'll have more on that tornado warning. but first, we start with a fast moving fire. stopping a party in its tracks. and destroying an event venue in sonoma. i'm juliette goodrich. >> i'm brian hackney. the fire started near highway 116 and state route 121 in the tiny community of shellville. about 10 acres burned. kpix5's maria medina is at what is left of that event center where fire officials said it was a close call. >> reporter: the fire began in a ditch and quickly spread by the strong winds. people were in the event center celebrating a birthday one moment, the very next, running from fast moving flames. >> everybody was engulfed. >> reporter: rick eichler could see the smoke from a mile away. by the time he got to highway 121, the flames were tearing through the property. >> a structure fire. all this was all lit up. >> reporter: 45 miles an hour winds fueled the flames, pushing it onto dry

kamala harris' performance tonight. a true friday follies next. as a doctor, i agree with cdc guidance. i recommend topical pain relievers first... like salonpas patch large. it's powerful, fda-approved to relieve moderate pain, yet non-addictive and gentle on the body. salonpas. it's good medicine. hisamitsu. >> laura: it's friday. that means it's time for friday follies. the democratic debate provided us with more ridiculous and hysterical moments we could imagine. raymond arroyo, fox news contributor. you noticed some trends of the debate that audiences might have missed. >> i did. the first thing was the attempt to subtly lay claim to a favorite phrase of a former president as a way to build stature. if only they could have been clearer. >> first of all, let me be very clear. >> let me be clear. >> let's be clear. >> let's be clear. >> let's be clear about this. >> look, let's just be clear. >> two things became crystal clear for me. >> let me be very clear. >> laura: versus let's be fuzzy right now. obama always said that. >> he did indeed. a

kennedy: i think that kamala harris is a better one for her. kennedy: weakest in top 3 is bernie sanders, he dropped as soon as biden got in the race biden took the old white guy vote. and elizabeth warren has climbed. people see her as socialist alternative. bernie sanders lost what distinguished him from the rest. kennedy: right, hillary clinton was a diet republican. and all bernie had to do was show up, and everyone has stolen his mojo. >> bernie sanders voters did not come out and vote. kennedy: i think it is easier for them to stomach someone like bernie sanders. they want that -- like elizabeth warren, they want that support. they don't want that to turn into real primary season, which sill 6 years away. >> president trump today calling out beto o'rourke. claiming he made a political deal on gun reform nearly impossible. after saying this. >> hell yes we'll take yourar 15, and ak-47. kennedy: setting off a firestorm of criticism from second amendment advocates, as well as people who don't want government taking away anything they legal l

. >> vaughn, let's talk kamala harris. in the state of new hampshire, she doesn't have a very big team on the ground. what's the game plan? >> reporter: she's only got about half the staff of that of elizabeth warren and pete buttigieg's campaign. right now as it stands, five months out from the new hampshire primary. she has 20 staffers on the ground, compare that to buttigieg and warren which have 55. but you look at the time spent. you can see where a lot of a candidate's focus is on the time they spend in places. she's been here four times since launching her campaign bid last winter. she is here, thooes going to be at this apple orchard. if you look at some of the apple trees behind me, they're still full of apples. you're only beginning to now hear from folks beginning to pick off the trees and their candidates. for kamala harris, the campaign says, look, you've got to pick where you're going to invest your time and resources and you look at what hillary clinton lost by a substantial amount back in 2016 in her primar

moment in iowa from kamala harris. [video clip] >> the fight that we have is to get the current occupant out of the white house. that, iuccessfully do suggest that we successfully prosecute the case against four years of donald trump and it will take a prosecutor to do it. and i think we are working with a pretty good long rap sheet. because let's think about it. joe has got ago -- go.-- got to here's a fellow who came into the office, talking about making america great again, and that because a lot of us to ask again exactly for whom? and all of us realized he was talking about going back to something. back to what exactly? before the voting rights act? the civil rights act? before the fair housing act? before the ada? wade? roe v. because we are not going back. we are not going back. and he came in making a lot of promises to a lot of folks. he made promises to farmers, to working families, and he prayed people. it's look at what happened. he betrayed our families when he said i see you, i've got you, i will take car

i go back to kamala harris and her sadness. you can't attack a person expressing sadness, you will seem like a bully because you are in that mode and so you get out of that and sadness would be any motions that seems female in some people's mind, more soft, more caring, more empathetic and having played the sadness card allowed her to be more forward. i think i am sure was a preplanned move but a very clever one and pretty effective. look at her fundraising tools i think the candidates are helped a lot by the fact that there are other female candidates on the stage so it is not just one. in 2008 on the campaign trail i was in new hampshire, just after diner in new hampshire. the hillary clinton came out of that, politico asked me to coat the videotape on that occasion. she took the stage and showed a version of hillary clinton i have never seen before. the contempt was gone, the anchor had melted away, she was more inviting, stayed for all the questions and afterwords i turned to clive who wrote primary colors in time magazine

you just heard that 30,000 foot look and specifically kamala harris's campaign and it's coming as our political team gets a perspective from inside the apparatus, a view that might be described as rather bleak and uncertain. her drop in our new pool is a downward trend her numbers sfiekd a little after the first debate back in june but since then this is what's been happening. after a fairly quiet campaign schedule her advisers are telling our team she's putting cash over campaigning right now, concentrating on private fundraising ahead of the third quarter dead line. it's going to change home ahead of a pretty important steak friday in iowa when the senator lands in the state tomorrow it's going to be her first time in a month. we're in des moines this morning. what options, vaughn, is the harris campaign looking at are they worried that money is important, you've got to have the cash to sustain a campaign, but are they concerned that they've been putting the eye too much on the fundraising ball here >> the way the campaign sees this and why they've been having the fundraiserers, the

kamala harris had that good, you know, blow against him. i don't think there's going to be that kind of moment. we sort of have this top tier of biden, warren, and bernie sanders. i don't think that's going to change as a result of this debate. but it certainly does cryst crystallize the difference, particularly on health care, between those candidates. and that's a really important thing. >> on guns, also. beto o'rourke putting a marker down last night that was a lot more bold than what we heard from other democrats. for years, democrats said, it was a myth, a republican myth, that any democrats wanted to come and take your guns. beto o'rourke says, hell, yes, i want to take your ar-15. listen. >> in odessa, i met the mother of a 15-year-old girl who was shot by an ar-15. and that mother watched her bleed to death over the course of an hour because so many other people were shot by that ar-15 in odessa and midland, there weren't enough ambulances to get to them in time. hell, yes, we're going to take your ar-15. your ak-47. we're not going

that includes kamala harris coming off with what some are describing as a summer slump. she's doubling her staff and making this promise in her first event in iowa in more than a month. >> hi, hi. so i'm moving here. >> let's get to at nbc news road warrior. vaughn is covering and you have some new news as they try to redirect harris to a degree to try to get her some traction. >> exactly, hallie. this is a campaign that is coming to terms with the fact that kamala harris's polling numbers have dipped over the summer. the latest "wall street journal" national poll has her at 5%. this is a campaign that is largely focused on fundraising over the course of the summer rather than being on the ground in these early states, including iowa. she returned to the state just yesterday, at the same time that her campaign announced that it's doubling their staff here and putting 131 staffers total here, and also kamala harris, as you just heard her there, suggesting somewhat jokingly that she was going to be moving to the state of iowa. i asked her about that last night just down th

it was brought up before by kamala harris in previous debates. earlier you mentioned cory booker defended biden. if you look at the same quote there's a part you omitted where he says what castro did was legit. after seeing the half-truthses that come out of biden in last night's debate and in recent weeks, i mean, the idea of biden/trump debate terrifies me. these two aging, macho, you know, white males, sort of puffing their chest and throwing out stories that are maybe half true or not true at all trying to score points on each other is absolutely terrifying. it would be a detriment to democracy to see that. i want someone with more substance to counter. let trump be trump. let someone with substance be on the other side. >> doug, we were talking this morning, if trump wasn't there, this biden issue would be gigantic problem, right? there's this odd sense that trump provides teflon. yeah,ist biden. to markos' point, have you two guys going. what do i pay attention to here? >> i think trump has changed the playbook and the rules so much over th

i think there is still time for kamala harris to move forward. she is a very polished politician, a good elected official, and she will make her case. i would not discount her entirely, yet. david: how important is it to the democratic party she remain a viable contender. if you look at those four, you have elizabeth warren, you have bernie sanders who thought to be progressive, you have joe biden who is more of a moderate. it is, harris the alternative joe biden if something happens to him? mr. crowley: it is a great question. i think kamala harris has had more of a centerleft record as a progressive, i think she is a progressive. the reality is she hit joe biden hard at those debates and so whether or not she inherits any fallout from biden is yet to be seen. i think it is narrowing and i think she will be right up there with elizabeth warren. it is important for her to be there. for women, having lost senator gillibrand and the issue she was bringing forward unknown in the military -- on women in the military and equal pay and reproductive rig
