kamala harris, mike pence and the moderator. this election is about covid—19, this election is about the administration's handling of covid. in that respect, i think this might good have gone worse for the trump— pteam good have gone worse for the trump— p team than it actually did —— this night could have gone worse for the donald trump and michael p team. how on a have an economic point of view, from both of those metrics it does not look good. i want to pick up on one thing that ron said. ithink pick up on one thing that ron said. i think i said this last week after the presidential debate. this was not the fiasco that that was, but there has to bea that that was, but there has to be a better way for us to choose the next president of united states, for the american people to choose the next president of the united states. yes, this was a calmer debate and there was more policy, but if candidates can repeatedly get away with not answering the question, and they are not actually doing that much of a service to the am

i welcome biden and harris and i think kamala harris is refreshing. she's an energetic, she is very smart. i think they will do fine. host: tal kopan, your thoughts on that? guest: when joe biden -- [indiscernible] in a morea lot of -- private circles about who he should pick. one of the strong sentiments was that he would pick a woman, a woman of color and he needed someone younger than him which was one of the reasons i heard folks say elizabeth warren wasn't a great idea. energetic and vigorous she was as a campaigner she is closer to joe biden's , age. when you mention harris's energy, i think that is what the biden campaign once you to see, and her as the next generation of democratic politics coming up with joe biden as he they hope, he ascends to the presidency. host: harris was for medicare for all before she was against it. how does she reconcile these opposing positions? guest: as much as we mentioned the tulsi gabbard moment, you ofld argue that that sort flip-flopping or continuous clarification on medicare for all was the hardest moment f

kamala harris -- >> kamala harris has been the public eye for a long time. she has had to temper, to thread the needle for decades so she doesn't come across as the angry black woman. pence willk she is, be effective at delivering a message. she is going to have to thread the needle that women often do but particularly because she is a woman of color, she has had experience doing that and she's going to make it look effortless. it is too bad she is quite she has to do that. she is quite capable of it. >> i'm going to go to an audience question because we are quickly running out of time. if you want to jump in, feel free. what can we do if anything to expose or prevent sexism from harming senator harris's candidacy? any thoughts on that? sure, it doesn't matter what she says, she can stand there and say the rosary for an hour and they will still call her an angry black woman, because that is what we do. let's understand three things. says, shewhat she will be attacked for being very angry and the one in control is -- the one secretly in control of joe biden.

nobody knows who kamala harris is. mike pence actually has to make that clear to the american people. has to get her to show who she is and she certainly has to force the game in his issues lie court packing and whether they're going to create two more states and puerto rico and the district of columbia, because as you said, things are moving very fast. we were talking about guns a minute ago. the first amendment has been trashed in his last six months. we have accepted as an apparently permanent state of emergency that churches can't hold church services. trump is the new hitler, but andrew cuomo is the guy who threatens to shut down the synagogues. so if you look at what they've done to the first amendment over the last six months, the idea that they won't use the permanent emergency to take away your guns and all kinds of other things, things are moving fast. this is an important debate. she sees herself as the president presented, the president in waiting and so the american people are entitled to know who she is.

kamala harris is a good debater. she struggled, didn't have a ton of substance and did facial mugging, she was condescending and smug and that didn't play well, comes off like sour grapes when you are complaining about something that didn't actually happen. >> dagen: marie, don't you worry your pretty little head, i will hand your backside to you if you are a dude and talk to me like that, that wasn't on des play la -- display at all. >> marie: we have talked about this, all women know about being man slammed and yes, kamala harris should be able to deal with mike pence condensation and interrupting. i think a lot of women are sick and tired of having to deal with it. we can deal with it, but why is this happening in american politics and media today? the number of women who said, we know those men who keep talking, keep going longer than they should, don't let you get a word in edge wise, there is some gender issues here, i think think. >> dagen: there are men and women on this planet, trey. she scored points by say

regarding kamala harris to me, she is a chameleon. heritageses her indian winches in that surrounding. she stresses her black heritage when she is in that surrounding. is how she used those prisoners to fight fires, unconscionable. that reminds me of the policing program. also her stance as far as criminalizing parents of truant children. that is too much. that affects mostly poor people, not wealthy people. i don't trust her. she is a chameleon. host: tal kopan. the way she tells the story is that she realized the number one convectors of outcomes for young members of society is how much they were in school. so to try to get them and be school more often, she established a program of truancy where there were consequent is for parents. on the one hand, -- there were consequences for parents. more kids were in school but there is that criticism now you just mentioned. committal orial civil penalties on parents -- but potential criminal or civil penalties on parents. say it was revolutionary to think about fighting crimes by going to th

the big moment, kamala harris clearly dodging it. it looks pretty clear if democrats get control of the government they are going to act accordingly. the liberals say over the course of the last few days republicans packed the court 6-3, i am not talking your senate duties. i am talking about increasing the number of justices on the supreme court. will that happen? >> they made it clear. right before the debate politico had a story quoting harris advisor saying she would go in and nail mike pence to the wall, leave a trail of blood, not the metaphor i would choose but just the opposite. mike pence was quietly devastating in the court packing, he did with the news media refused to do so far, this is a very big deal. when joe biden was asked a question, if they don't know what they are choosing what choice is that? elections are about two different ideas of choice and people can decide which they prefer. the vice president was masterful in just holding her to that and it is clear they don't wish to answer the question because they know

when it comes from hillary clinton to kamala harris, kamala harris knows what that means. i think joe biden has set a good example for how to deal with it. show empathy. right? we hope the president gets better. i haven't heard a word about the first lady or hope hicks. i hope everyone is doing well, but hold them accountable for how they have mismanaged the pandemic. do -- shek you can can do both of those things simultaneously. the pandemicm it's not as though -- the pandemic, it's not as though he had a heart attack or came down with pneumonia. this is not an individual case. the pandemic affects every single american, and it is so rooted in the presidential campaign. she has to make the argument that maybe they have been woefully lacking in how they have handled it. she can do both those things. my father is 89 years old. he is a former republican. he voted for hillary. he said to me six month ago, i hope kamala harris is a running mate, because i would love to see her go up against mike pence. [laughter] it's so great. she is really effective at this. mike pence is go

kamala harris' many allies in the media were impressed. they knew exactly what kamala waharris is really saying. "i'm a woman." they were unanimous in their conclusion. mike pence who's been married to the same woman of 35 years interrupted kamala harris because he's a sexist who hates women. >> she was not overtly assertive in this entire debate. >> be >> pence was a man's mansplainer. >> he interrupted the other woman in the room who at one point lost control of him. >> you have a reporter and woman candidate, both of them you are interrupting, both of them you're attacking, not o a good sign. >> i think a lot of people notice a lot of mansplaining. >> some may feel there is a lack of respect. >> let me start with pence pete he was patronizing which drove all the women crazy. >> mike pence who was mostly polite but did interrupt and did do the guy thing of demanding and getting more time to speak than the woman. >> tucker: oh... so as a scientific matter, the category "women" doesn't really exist, neither does the category "men," because

he showed kamala harris how this is supposed to be done. he beat her on the economy, on law and order, on foreign poli policy. showed the depth of knowledge that he has in contrast to how shallow she was on a multitude of issues while at the same time holding her feet to the fire on questions that that campaign continues to refuse to answer because they know that the american people don't support that radical left agenda that has been completely and totally adopted by their party. they keep trying to avoid it. vice president did a great job pressing the issue, i hope the president keeps the heat on next week at the next debate. >> sean: i think, ari, if i'm to stand back from this a little bit, i felt the moments that vice president pence -- he had really shaken kamala harris up. but more importantly, i think he was able to shake up the whole campaign by shaking out the radicalism, as you have discussed here. because, i know the media, they are in the tank for biden and kamala harris, but can we really now go through the 27 days moving forw

kamala harris threw down the race card tonight. and she lied about what president trump said about charlottesville. of course, susan page didn't correct. she did this all because she and joe biden can't refute, certainly can't beat the trump pence record. to a lot of folks, a lot of you watching in the midwest and eat east coast, he represents the democrat party of the past, see for a party of 30 years ago. maybe a little bit more moderate. maybe for a lot of you you think about biden and you have a nostalgic you point. but his talk of scranton and has blue-collar appeal -- it's all a bunk. most of those folks, those blue-collar folks, they are now for trump and for good reason. the democrats are a party of wealthy donors and radical ivory tower types who want to impose their extreme anti-american agenda on the rest of us. that is who they are today. so all of the pain and suffering that the liberal governors and mayors have caused you, that's not going to bother democrats of today. whether on masks, travel limits, the rules never

kamala harris, not part of this, to appeal to bolstering her party. jillian: let's look at these numbers, the question is who would handle the economy better? as you can see, 49%, something else to show you, the state of the economy, 11.4 million jobs covered. how important do you think it is for the vice president to say look at the economy, look at where we were, we will be able to rebound and get back on track. >> that is what pence needs to highlight. we don't have enough people to fill available jobs, record low unemployment for hispanic americans, black americans, records were being broken for women in the workplace, the trump administration has a lot to brag about and a lot of the economic slump is due to unending lockdowns in states run by democrat mayors so pence needs to highlight that as well. carley: a new poll so strong voter enthusiasm for the 2020 election ahead of levels from 2012-2016. if you look at this, and 8 million votes have been cast compared to the 75 million at this time in 2016, on one hand it shows people are excited to mak

harris. >> it is a track for kamala harris. the question is can mike pence do anything to change the trajectory of the campaign when the president is taking himself down. >> the answer is mike pence knows this issue better than donald trump and better communicating this issue. he'll lay out what he's been doing. >> kamala harris has done deb e debates with den othten other d. kamala harris is a woman and a woman who's suffering like nobody can believe in this country. single moms are trapped now. they can keep their kids home, they can't feed them, they can't go to work. i think the vice president, if she chooses to be relatable, i don't think she will -- don't be a prosecutor tonight. pence is tough. don't under estimate him. you be that mother and that woman who understands for this country right now, a working mom, teachers who are mostly women who are crushed by this. >> she has to be more like joe biden. she got to have that empathy that you see at the top of the ticket to trickle down. >> we have president trump's difficu

they say kamala harris is going to be off of the campaign trail now. she was supposed to do stops in north carolina and ohio in the coming days, but they're going to pull her off the campaign trail until sunday. they say out of an abundance of caution. i want to read to you a piece of the statement where they explain effectively what's going on here. the campaign says kamala harris was not in close contact, as defined by the cdc, with either of these individuals during the two days prior to their positive tests. as such there's no requirement for quarantine. regardless, out of an abundance of caution and in line with our campaign's commitment to the highest levels of precaution, we

kamala harris was a former prosecutor and you hear that phrase, kamala harris isa hear that phrase, kamala harris is a cop. everyone changes. here i am supporting joe biden 100%. i think they are on the right track and they will do the right thing. thank you very much for talking to us. thank you so much. twitter has decided to suspend a number of fa ke accou nts decided to suspend a number of fake accounts purported to be run by lack supporters of donald trump. —— black supporters. it is thought to have had thousands of retweets before suspended. cristiano ronaldo has tested positive for coronavirus. the portuguese star is going into self isolation and will not play against sweden on wednesday. five times the player of the year, cristiano ronaldo, seen here training with the portugal national team, is doing well, without symptoms but now in isolation. translation: without symptoms but now in isolation. translationzlj without symptoms but now in isolation. translation: i spoke to him. from the moment he was tested positive, he went to the room and complied with all the rules of the gen

i know they will find that in kamala harris. i wanted to inject that because there is a lot of energy and enthusiasm and a lot of people wanting to be self reflective about how they are approaching this campaign and this candidacy -- inularly in light of the cycle. i wanted to inject a little bit of that excitement because i feel that out there. i think that that is going to carry the day. >> i appreciate that very much. jan, you have been in the advisor role a lot. you have had a bridge to the election. the going to have plexiglass. how do you think the campaign to get thee her enthusiasm, the folks who see themselves in her who haven't seen themselves and other candidates? >> first opportunity is tonight because it was hard on the democratic ticket to breakthrough with news because trump takes up so much oxygen. this is the most important moment she has to be able to say this is what we would do in a joe biden administration. , to be an presence role model to show what's possible and celebrate that moment of history in america

compared to last week's fireworks of the gloves on a for my pants and kamala harris. of next guest says this is unlikely to move the needle for voters, ron meyer joins us. why do you say that? >> i would say both did fairly well. both bases would say their candidate won. if anything the slight edge stops the cliff donald trump's poll numbers were falling. the real clear politics average has been straight down. trump supporters can hope this is the bottom a crevice and things can only go up from here. mike pence did some things to set up donald trump in the next debate and hopefully start that come back for their side of the aisle but as far as the overall trajectory of the race there was no major screwup by either candidate. if anything the quarterbacking question hasn't moved the needle in the last weekend has been going against the president. >> interesting to see what happens in the next week in light of that discussion last night on court packing. >> let's listen to both candidates talking about the person at the top of the ticket. >> joe has been incredibly trans

host: where did kamala harris do well? caller: i think she did well, you know, placing -- explaining what their plan is. i have been watching biden. i have been watching biden, trump, and harris for covid. i am very impressed with them actually giving a plan. doingr trump all the time a lot of arguing, bullying, you know, dividing people. harris that biden and are doing pretty well explaining what their plan is. and as for the protest, my thing about the protest is that they keep throwing law & order out. i know a lot of people say this. the media is doing this. i watch the president. i watch biden. i watch harris. and i watch pence. i watch them and i see what they say, and people say that the media is spinning things. when you watch a person and you see what is coming out of their mouth, and then someone turns around, and they say that's not trumpthe protest -- encouraged the protest when we had the lockdown. they set plans for the covid and the guidelines and a day or so later, he incited people to go out and protest. a

of course, people are so excited about what kamala harris will deliver. is there a chance she will take the spotlight away from joe biden even? i don't know. we will see. kamala harris is certainly a strong candidate, and i'm not sure if the biden campaign would mind if she did come if she is positive. the voters they need to win are looking for, and by and large they are suburban women, who kamala harris may well connect with, is some reassurance that the leftwa rd is some reassurance that the leftward tilt of the democrat party, that it's sort of turned off some moderates, is not going to be reflected in a biden— harrison ministration, so, actually, ithink biden— harrison ministration, so, actually, i think there's a lot more to gain from kamala harris then she has to loose here —— biden— harris administration. and she will be working very hard to make sure women any suppers and other moderate voters who are potentially amenable to voting for biden come over to their camp and stay there. and one assumes, though, she will be attacking mike penc

i wonder how kamala harris is going to act. she asked a tough question of joe biden and now laughs it off. she asked a question about his position on race. now she is trying to back track as if it's a joke. it's a debate. say that 8 times. i don't think she says what she means what she says. that's very important. i don't think voters will like that. they want you to look them straight in the eye and tell them what you think. don't run away from it or make light of it. >> bill: we will see tomorrow night. tens of millions will watch. i know the focus group you had last week for the debate in cleveland left people unsatisfied with getting information out of that. we will talk to you on thursday. frank lutz thanks for your time today. joe biden set to speak in pennsylvania top of the hour. and monitoring that as our coverage continues from salt lake city. we have you covered here on fox. ♪ ♪ ♪ smooth driving pays off with allstate, the safer you drive the more you save you never been in better hands allstate click or call f

kamala harris, senator harris, amen. i am kamala. kamala harris, senator harris, amen. iam kamala. -- kamala harris, senator harris, amen. i am kamala. -- senator harris, amen. half of americans now so they wouldn't take a vaccine if it was really is now -- if it vaccine if it was really is now —— if it was released now. if the residency releases a vaccine before the election, would you take it? if doctor faucl h would you take it? if doctor fauci, if the doctors tell us that we should take it, i will be the first in line to take it, absolutely. but if donald trump tells us, i'm not taking it. vice president pans, there has been a lot of repercussions from this pandemic. in recent days, the president's diagnosis of covid—19 has underscored the importance of the job you hold and are seeking. that is our second topic tonight. it is the role of the vice president. one of you will make history on january 20, you will be the vice president to the oldest president united states has ever had. donald trump will be 7a years old on inauguration day, joe biden will be years

i don't hear a plan necessarily from biden and kamala harris, especially kamala harris. host: what is it like to be a republican in california? [laughter] caller: it feels a little lonely sometimes. but this is how i feel. i feel like we are a silent minority right now. but i think we are going to come out. i just think right now republicans are laying low. california turns red one of these days. you, have youk voted or are you going to vote in person on november 3? caller: thank you for asking. i'm going to vote in person on or before november 3, whenever my pole station opens. i do not trust the mail in. you probably have seen it do know the news, all of these ballots are coming up in streets, in dumpsters, and i don't trust the mail in system, i want to vote in person. host: thank you for your time this evening. anthony in illinois who know our support joe biden line. caller: how's it going? host: how was the debate for you tonight? i thought it was a large improvement from the last debate. i'm obviously calling on behalf of the biden-harris ticket. i thought kamala h

kamala harris making history. the first black woman and south asian american on a major party ticket, sparring with vice president mike pence, whose job she's trying to win. this showdown coming as a coavi outbreak shadows the president and the west wing. so how did they do? for the very latest we go now to abc's mary bruce. mary? >> reporter: juju, despite the very unusual setting here in the room, the two candidates up on stage separated by that plexiglass, all of us here in our masks, what struck me most about this debates was how it really felt like a normal traditional debate. after last week's disastrous, very raucous debate between the president and joe biden, the bar for civility was low. so tonight when we saw a lot of pleasantries, not a lot of interrupting at all, and really a conversation about policy, it did seem rather remarkable. what also felt like a normal debate was how much they refused to simply answer a lot of questions. we saw a lot of reverting back to traditional talking points, often a lot

does that mean essentially that from kamala harris's point of view, job done. it's about putting herself in front of the american nation and that map of the states there suggests she has done that. yes, she has got the retention. they are looking for that. i would say that. whether it has affected the polls, we'll have to see because there is a seven to 8% margin in the polls in biden's favourite the moment. so if that doesn't change, you could argue polls. in terms of what is trending on social media at the moment. mike pence is still at the top there. if we scroll down, susan, susan page the moderator has been trending a lot. been getting a little bit of stick for not raining in how long each candidate was speaking for. in actually stop them. three or four times she repeated that and it was only about an hour into the debate that she really took mike pence to task and she has been trending quite a lot. and we have to talk about this. i didn't even that during the debate. i did notice that he had a fly on his head. it wouldn't be the kind of thing you're looki

mike pence played mike pence, kamala harris played kamala harris. >> yeah, she was definitely kamala. i think she was -- she connected and she was warm but she was in command and she was strong. and i do think the moments that stood out in the whole debate, besides her really showing her command of a great bit of policy across a lot of different sectors of public policy was health care and mismanagement of the covid crisis. i think both of those issues are very important in four weeks, and i think she handled them pitch perfectly. >> james carville, tim kaine, the last person to have debated mike pence before national audience said this about mike pence, remember the former radio talk show host, quote, he can look in a camera and deliver a line with utmost sincerity, even if he knows it to be absolutely untrue. james, what stood out to you tonight? >> one thing stood out to me is i will not be lectured. senator harris said that multiple times. women hate to be lectured by men and she drove that point home. the other thing that stood out to me is she referred to vice president biden as

we recall that during the primary season, kamala harris' campaign slogan was kamala harris for the people, as she sa said, she said so often every time she went into the court. for me, it was super effective when she talked about, she turned to the camera and she said, were you calm when you had to go look for your last roll of toilet paper or had to think about your children not being able to see your parents because they could kill them. very effective moment. i wish that the moderator really would have challenged mike pence when he turned to the swine flu response and talked about the ineffectiveness of the obama administration's response, where under 13,000 people died versus the 211,000, now this morning, almost 212,000 people who have died under the trrpump aministration's response to covid. i also think it was important that they would have challenged -- mike pence shook his head a lot and said not true. i wish the moderator would have said, what is true, mr. vice president? >> was that the moderator's response or kamala harris' responsibility to do that? >> i think she could have,

for kamala harris and lower the bar a little bit? >> it could be. here's the truth. i agree with guy, this debate is an equal match between senator kamala harris and vice-president pence. they are equally matched. i think this debate will have decorum which will be great to see after last week. this will be the first time the president or the vice-president will face tough cross-examination since the white house has become the newest coronavirus hot spot. with mike pence being the head of the white house task force for covid-19, there will be a lot of questions hurled his way. he has a lot of answering to do to the american people. how is it possible that the vice-president the leader the covid-19 task force his own office is a covid hot spot. that's what americans will be looking for answers to tonight. >> harris: interesting using that terminology. we are not medical doctors so we will say there have been cases there. i don't know if you caught my talk with pam bondi she is helping the vice-president prep for tonight. she said they

kamala harris is 22 years younger than joe biden's. so if joe biden wins next month, at some point, possibly sooner than we expect, kamala harris will control the white house, the federal government. and that is a concern, because very few people in the democratic party -- certainly at her level -- i pushed blm's message more aggressively than kamala harris has. here she was on friday. >> black lives matter has been the most significant agent for change within the criminal justice system because it has been a counterforce to the force within the system that is so grounded in status quo and in its own tradition. many of which have been harmful and have been discriminatory in the way they have been before. >> tucker: we are quoting. "black lives matter has been the most significant agent for change within the criminal justice system," says kamala harris. she said it as a complement. she was praising blm when she said that. so what kind of change is blm pushing for? what exactly is there a prescription for changing our justice system? wel

mike pence will go head to head with kamala harris. rain, sleet, snow or pandemic nothing stops this 102-year-old from voting. "fox and friends first" starts

would we get the answers out of kamala harris? likely not. >> biden would not answer the question who he would nominate to the supreme court and refuses to publish a list of names who he would recommend to serve on the supreme court. i'm sure you wouldn't get any answers to those questions. biden alone, from my understanding didn't want to take out osama bin laden to do that and obama moved forward to take that attack. you have different record as it relates to foreign policy. as it relates to taking down terrorist networks and supporting our military. the obama-biden administration cut our military. you've seen the trump administration build that up. what a difference. i know the vice president will highlight all these things. i look forward to the debate tonight to see differences between the two policy platforms the two parties have. elizabeth: thank you so much, congressman stuebe. thank you for your service to our country. it is great to have you back on. come back soon. >> great to see you. elizabeth: sure. next up, he is fi

kamala harris is a former prosecutor. she knows the best of what this country can be even within the parameters of its rules. she is the dream. that's why she confuses them. she's this woman who embodies the best parts of american ideals made manifest to their fullest most complete extent. she is serious. she's free. she's judicious. she's disciplined and she's forward-looking. and i think that that was the part of that that struck me the most because mike pence was sort of this nostalgic gesture toward a an across the aisle america that just meant there were old white guys on both sides of the aisle. and a biden-harris ticket is going to be one if they figure out how to navigate across the aisle politics again, it's going to be one where we're working toward some sort of common truth. and that's one of my biggest hopes for the potential of their partnership in the white house. >> the most unlikable politician in american history, donald trump, called kamala harris totally unlikable. he said this to a woman interviewer th

steve cortez from the trump campaign said this about kamala harris's record. >> kamala harris according to an independent organization for the year 2019, she was the most liberal member of the u.s. senate. to the left of elizabeth warren and even bernie sanders. you have a wide distance between these two folks. >> dana: martha, how does she do that? he has a record and points of view and they are not the same issues that joe biden wants to be positioned as? >> martha: it's fascinating with the profile. we saw joe biden in his basement for a big chunk of all of this. now he's out there. in battleground states. there was a feeling that kamala harris was going to be very forward leaning and out there in terms of positions they would take. she would be the strong voice. we have not seen that. she's been quiet. i think you will probably hear from her tonight that he would be the president and she would serve him as vice-president and his viewpoints are the most important. she will work to move the ball over to his court and say he's the boss. >> bill: she said something the other day. was it

kamala harris's camping had asked for additional safety measures. mike pence, has tested negative, but on tuesday, and we are told by the white house he and his wife were tested negative again today here in salt lake city, but he was at the event where it is believed the president and adviser to the present did contract the coronavirus, so what they wanted to put in place was plexiglas between the two desks. mike pence's campaign felt the fact that they were just over 12 feet apart should be enough, but that is now taking place, so we will see the two candidates sitting farapart, will see the two candidates sitting far apart, sitting at desk with placing less screens in between. 0ne reason mike pence's camping would have been reluctant to happen is that will be a visual reminder right in the centre of the stage of the pandemic that has claimed, of course, in excess of 210,000 american lives. he, of course, is the leader of the task force. donald trump put him in charge of the administration's respond to that pandemic. and while it will visibly be th

i think he will be prepared to scrutinize commie harris -- scrutinize kamala harris's record. host: what do we know about how he is preparing? who is helping him prepare? guest: i don't know so i can't enter that question. one thing i can be certain of is he has been preparing. that would perhaps be another contrast between pence and trump , who seemed to think the presidency itself was adequate preparation. spitz -- pence will have spent a lot of time repairing and getting ready to scrutinize harris's record. host: this is rebecca i'm a port orange, florida -- rebecca in port orange, florida. on the line for those who support the trump-pence ticket. i don't have a question. with the concerned mail-in ballots. i don't see that many biden signs in the area i live in. i am just concerned about the mail-in ballots. host: do you think mail-in ballots is going to be one of the big issues tonight? i think theuest: trump administration has articulated the concern with potential fraud with mail-in ballots. indiana has any voter id law for some time. it is upheld by the courts and it i

i think that kamala harris proved to be a strong vice presidential candidate tonight. a move from pete buttigieg tojoe tonight. a move from pete buttigieg to joe biden tonight. a move from pete buttigieg tojoe biden because i thinkjoe buttigieg tojoe biden because i think joe biden buttigieg tojoe biden because i thinkjoe biden will restored decency in america. we are in a really dangerous position right i'iow really dangerous position right now in our country, we are moving away from democracy, joe biden has proven that he will fight for the american people and will be a servant to all, i'io and will be a servant to all, no matter party affiliation, race, religion, and i think thatis race, religion, and i think that is the heart of what america is. there seems to be a feeling of general frustration that people were not answering questions, was that getting to you? did you feel you heard the a nswe rs you? did you feel you heard the answers that you needed? yeah, i think answers that you needed? yeah, ithinkl answers that you needed? yeah, i think i did. i think the po

and kamala harris, we knew what she was supposed to do tonight. she was supposed to prosecute the case against the trump administration, whether that was their handling of the pandemic, whether that was their handling of the economy, she had a very sharp pivot talking about transparency, talking about the president's taxes. which becomes not only a question of transparency, but also of fairness. and a sharp pivot off of china to talk about russia, and the role russia could be playing in this upcoming election. she did what she needed to do, and also reintroduced herself to the american people, which was critical. and to your point about race and gender, so much of her personal story about being the daughter of immigrants, being the first woman of color on that stage, certain to resonate with a key part of the democratic base. >> erin, one quote from harris that has not received play because there was admittedly a lot from that stage tonight was kind of an aside. she talked about the weird obsession trump has with getting rid of anything accomplish

kamala harris is a radical person. it doesn't matter what she seems like, it doesn't matter how soothing her words may sound, if you listen to what they mean, they are radical. here is kamala harris on friday describing the founders of blm. >> nothing that we have achieved has been about progress has come without a fight. nothing that we have achieved in our country that has been about progress, particularly around civil rights has come without a fight. >> tucker: so she used one word twice in that clip. it was fight. kamala harris likes people who fight. she likes fighting. most of all, they like to fight. she is right. patrice colors does like to fight. she is a self-described market's list. she's not afraid to defend looting on television. she's happy too. watch her do it. >> the protest has been overwhelmingly peaceful, but there is a media focus on looting. >> we are very obsessed with property damage. property damage is seen as sort of like the pinnacle of destruction and violence, and we rarely hear the media fo

>> kamala harris: i do. it helps change the perception of who can do what because that is still part of the battle after all. and you imagine some young person then seeing, "oh, things can be different. i don't have to conform to whatever i'm-- you know, supposed to do or relegated to do. i can imagine what can be and be unburdened by what has been," you know? >> o'donnell: what kind of role do you think you would play in a biden administration? >> kamala harris: joe biden's partner. one of the first things he said was, "i want you to be the first person in the room and the last person in the room." >> o'donnell: how often do you and joe biden speak? >> kamala harris: almost every day. >> joe biden: your next vice president of the united states, kamala harris. >> o'donnell: from the moment joe biden selected her as his running-mate, senator harris has become one of president trump's favorite targets. >> trump: and she's not competent, she's not competent. >> o'donnell: on the campaign trail, president trump

that kamala harris is dishonest, that kamala harris is shifty. this is what people are talking about because this is not -- this is very disingenuous reaction to what's going on. brian: right, rob. there was so much stuff going on law and order left on the table. mike pence hit a lot of marks but did he not bring that up she helped fund-oid raise money to get those rioters out of jail. did not bring up that she was in favor of taking millions out of the lapd police budget. and the fact is in minneapolis and san francisco, in chicago, in new york, they all cut their police budgets and homicides and crime overall going through the roof. she also made promises last night. promises for free college. >> folks who wants to go to a two-year community college it will be free. if you come from a family that makes less than $125,000, you will go it a public university for free. and across the board we'll make sure that if you have student loan debt it's cut by $10,000. brian: we are not going to raise taxes but it will be free. >> no such thing as a free l

what exactly does kamala harris worship except for power? she's the most secular candidate ever to run for office. and that's not an attack on her by the way, plenty of decent secular people but it's true. not that truth matters in this case. for the purposes of last nights debate, harris was identified as a person of faith and that's all that matters. the progressive left understands race and gender and yes religious faith as a means to an end. they are identities and they don't have independent meanings, they are tools used to win arguments and achieve power. kamala harris cycled through various identity as last night. i'm speaking, she barked again and again when mike pence tried to respond to her. in other words, i'm a woman and that's why you are interrupting me. >> the vice president asked, why didn't you tell anyone? well because he said i want to remain calm. joe biden has been very clear, he will not raise taxes on anybody that makes less than 400,000 per year. mr. vice president, i'm speaki speaking. i'm so glad we went through a l

here is what senator kamala harris had to say. the american people have witnessed what is the greatest failure of any president in the history of our country. here are the facts. 000 dead people in our country and the last several months. over 7 million people have contracted the disease. one in five businesses are close. at front line workers who have been treated like sacrificial workers. we looking out over 30 million people in the last several months to have had to file for unemployment. here's the thing. president28, the vice -- on january 20 eight, the vice president and the president were informed about this pandemic. that it is lethal and consequence, airborne, and that it will in fact -- and affect young people. knew what was happening and they did not tell you. senator kamala harris last night at the first and only ice presidential debate. the first and only vice presidential debate. we are taking your calls and perhaps answer some of your questions about the debate last night. covid was the main topic of discussion last

designed to make kamala harris look like a radical. >> kamala harris, an independent organization that does modeling of legislators, according to them she was the most liberal member of the united states senate. to the left of elizabeth warren and bernie sanders. you have a stark contrast here. a wide chasm between these two folks. >> today joe biden is staying home. no public events on the schedule. he is going to watch harris versus pence on tv from delaware, bill. >> bill: 90 minutes, 13 feet apart and plexiglas. talk to you later today. >> sandra: thank you, bill. the number of people infected with the coronavirus at the white house continues to grow. president trump's top speech writer steven miller and two aides of kayleigh mcenany have tested positive for the virus. much of the nation's top military leadership mark milley are in quarantine. it is suspected to be the course of the current virus outbreak at the white house. >> bill: president trump says he is feeling great and looking forward to the second presidential debate happening a week from today in miami. late last night j

and nor kamala harris also took a covid test. she is negative, so the debate is on at the university of utah. the moderator is susan rice of "usa today." this could be a defining moment for bay area native kamala harris. her rise in politics started here locally, as you guys all know, as the san francisco district attorney, then as california attorney general, then u.s. senator, presidential candidate, and now joe biden's vp pick. i spoke with james taylor, professor of politics at the university of san francisco, and got his thoughts about senator harris' appearance tonight. >> yeah, i think a great deal of symbolic and historical significance for her as the first african-american or woman of color to be in such a position. i think there's a whole lot of history surrounding it. but in terms of her own performance, the expectation for kamala harris' performance is high. mike pence doesn't have a whole lot of expectation, but he does have a lot of experience. so to be quite frank with you, i think it's kamala harris' debate to los

i heard that joe biden and kamala harris are both in arizona today. [crowd boos] i've got a feeling it's because arizona said yes to president donald trump in 2016. and i know arizona will say yes to four more years of president donald trump. [cheering and applause] it is because of what we've done and all we've accomplished. in four years ago we inherited a military that was hollowed out by devastating budget cuts and an economy struggling to break free of the slowest economic recovery since the great depression. terrorism was on the rise and we witnessed a steady assault on our most cherished veterans. in three short years we rebuilt that military and we restored the arsenal of democracy and we are finally giving our soldiers and sailors, airmen, marines and coast guard the resources and the support they deserve to accomplish their mission and defend our nation. now we are standing here a short drive from luke air force base, pride of the nation. i'm proud to report the president donald trump has signed the largest investments and our national defen

harris es necesariamente falso porque kamala harris estÁ hablando de la economÍa mi padre tuvo que cerrar su negocio porque donald trump y esta administraciÓn no pudieron mantener un buen plan para ejecutar y apoyar apenas con negocios pequeÑos en cuanto a la economÍa la verdad que no estÁn haciendo un buen trabajo en cuanto al medio ambiente >>> t la prestaciÓn >> >> ya sÉ que ellos estÁn y son chicos que no pueden votar ahora pero el medio ambiente va de la mano con ciencia >> franklin necesitamos tu respuesta >> rÁpidamente de la administraciÓn bidaiden no creo la agenda fatalista que crear mÁs de 14 millones de empleos quiere aumentar 37 im pufrnlpue pagar >>> por lo tanto, lo que necesitamos es innovaciÓn y libertad econÓmica >>> les agradecemos y franklin >>> les agradecemos y franklin vamos a la pausa y volvemos. >>> les agradecemos y franklin vamos a la pausa y volvemos. when we say verizon te da más. we mean it. la red más premiada ahora incluye. con planes desde 35 por línea. ademas obtén dos samsumg galaxy s20 fe 5g uw por $200 al cambiarte sella las puntas abie

we didn't see that kamala harris tonight. we saw a different kamala harris tonight, in part, i'm told, because the objective here was very different. she came in here believing that it was about holding her own steady, stable, executing on the plan, not creating, you know, social media moments that people have come to expect from her. that might be a disappointment, frankly, to some of her fans on twitter. but from the perspective of the campaign, i think you'll hear a lot of people saying, in terms of what they prepared for, she executed on that. >> although i'm still speaking, was a line that is very memorable. people who are near her are happy that that was something that she got out. she obviously prepared that for when the vice president was going to interrupt her. and i can see that resonating a lot with women. you know, that here was a guy on the stage with her trying to kind of talk over her and she stopped him and she looked at him and she said, i'm still speaking. i can already see the biden campaign making a t-shir

the same words that you're saying about kamala harris. kamala harris has more of a problem because she is a woman of color. she is a black woman. and the spotlight is more so on her and it's unfortunate, in 2020, you have people saying how dare she go after vice president pence because of his stature? no, it's about raise ace and it about gender and we are still in that moment in 2020. >> april, i think some people wanted that from her. but i, also, think that it's -- it is -- it is race and it's -- listen. you're a woman. you guys know better than i. i, also, think is -- there's a first thing to it. she is the first. and so, you know, that's what do no harm is. if you're -- if you're the first at anything, you don't want to screw it up. you want to make sure you get through it. >> let's talk about the real first. shirley chism, who ran for president, black woman, in 1972. she said -- she said, being black and a woman is a double whammy and it showed tonight. kamala harris was strong. i believe she won. but she had to hold back. i mean, a

>> i thought kamala harris handled that well. times, ito them of few will not be lectured by the vice president. she also made the case, let me speak. almost as if she was a schoolteacher in some cases. so i do think that is going to be effective for her. one area where i thought the kamala harris had some issues was on the question of the vaccine. she's had this problem before and she said very clearly tonight she will not take a vaccine out of the trump administration. i think this is something we will hear a lot more about. david: fascinating. for those of you on radio, those watching, the vice presidents motorcade leaving the hall. in the meantime let's go out to salt lake city where that motorcade is and get a report from kevin cirilli covering the debate. kevin, what were your initial reactions? kevin: much more policy oriented. in fact, think based on the conversations i was having with sources during the vice presidential debate, both of the respective campaigns feel that they got a full display of why they were each chos

much of the media favored kamala harris' performance. they say pence had a tougher case to make because he had to defend the administration on covid-19. does it matter at all she is a newcomer to the national stage? a freshman senator going up against an incumbent vice president, if it is even close to being a draw that helps the biden campaign? in the larger scheme of things how much does the debate mattered at all? >> i don't think it mattered at all because donald trump stepped on the message. mike pence did better than senator harris and calm, collected, rational response as she was trying to needle him was impressive to my swing voters. next morning donald trump says he will not participate in the debate. everybody forgot what happened the night before. this weren't on five years ago. mike pence had a brilliant performance four years ago, donald trump allowed that performance to breathe for a couple days. i think the trump campaign made a big mistake making issue of the next debate rather than taking the time to enjoy the benefits o
