COMMERCIAL BREAK.
SOME NOT ALWAYS AIRABLE.
SO; APOLOGIZES FOR THAT BUT
THEY'RE ALL GOOD.
THIS WEEK, THE SECOND ROUND OF
DEMOCRATIC PRESIDENTIAL DEBATE
HILL.
THE FIRST NIGHT WAS CLEAR
BETWEEN THE MODERATES AND MORE
PROGRESSIVE CANDIDATES AND THE
CLASH OVER THE DIRECTION OF THE
DEMOCRATIC PARTY AND WHO CAN
BEAT PRESIDENT TRUMP.
>> I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY
ANYBODY GOES TO ALL OF THE
TROUBLE OF RUNNING FOR
PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES
JUST TO TALK ABOUT WHAT WE
CAN'T DO AND SHOULDN'T FIGHT
FOR.
>> SO, AGAIN, I THINK IF WE'RE
GOING TO FORCE AMERICANS TO
MAKE THESE RADICAL CHANGES,
THEY'RE NOT GOING TO GO ALONG.
SHOW YOUR HANDS UP.
YOU HAVE -- WHOA.
I CAN DO IT.
>> ON NIGHT 2, ROUND TWO
BETWEEN JOE BIDEN AND KAMALA
HARRIS.
THE TWO SPARRING OVER BIDEN'S
WORK AS SEGREGATION OF SENATORS
IN THE 1970s AND SCHOOL BUSING.
>> LET'S BE CLEAR ABOUT THIS.
HAD THE SEGREGATIONISTS THEIR
WAY, I WOULD NOT BE A MEMBER OF
THE UNITED STATES SENATE.
COREY BOOKER WOULD NOT BE A
MEMBER OF THE U.S. SENATE AND
BARRACK OBAMA WOULD NOT HAVE
BEEN NOMINATED TO THE TITLE HE
NEW HOLDS.
SO, ON THAT ISSUE, WE COULD NOT
BE MORE AWAY PART, APART, WHICH
IS THAT THE VICE PRESIDENT
STILL FAILED TO ACKNOWLEDGE
THAT IT WAS WRONG TO TAKE THE
POSITION THAT HE TOOK A THE
THAT TIME.
>> WHEN SENATOR HARRIS WAS THE
ATTORNEY GENERAL FOR EIGHT
YEARS IN THE STATE OF
CALIFORNIA, THERE WERE TWO OF
THE MOST SEGREGATED SCHOOL
DISTRICTS IN THE COUNTRY IN LOS
ANGELES AND SAN FRANCISCO.
AND SHE DID NOT, I DIDN'T SEE A
SINGLE SOLITARY TIME HE BROUGHT
A CASE AGAINST THEM.
>> AND LET ME GET REACTION FROM
THE DEMOCRATS.
WHAT DID YOU THINK?
>> SO, I THOUGHT IT WAS GOOD
THEY HAD A REAL DEBATE ABOUT A
LOT OF IMPORTANT ISSUES.
AND I THINK THAT IT WAS A
LITTLE GUESS APPOINTING TO SEE
SO MEAN PEOPLE CRITICIZING THE
LEGACY OF PRESIDENT OBAMA AND
PRESIDENT OBAMA WAS NOT PERFECT
BY ANY STRETCH OF THE
IMAGINATION, BUT HE'S NOT THE
KIND OF PRESIDENT AND I WISH
MORE OF THE DEMOCRATS WOULD
HAVE CRITICIZED THE CURRENT
PRESIDENT.
OBAMA'S NAME CAME UP MORE TIMES
THAN TRUMP'S NAME.
THAT IS UNACCEPTABLE.
WE HAVE A DUTY AS A PARTY TO
TAKE BACK THE WHITE HOUSE.
THE Wii WILL DO THAT IS HAVING
DEBATES ABOUT WHERE WE STAND AS
AMERICANS NOW AND NOT WHERE WE
HAVE BEEN.
>> ISN'T THAT THE INHERENT
PROBLEM?
YOU HAVE TO FIND WAYS TO
DIFFERENTIATE THE AND YOU END
UP DOING THAT.
IF YOU ATTACK BARRACK ABA MARKS
AND THEN BUSH.
>> IT'S INTERESTING.
PRESIDENT OBAMA DEPENDING ON
WHO YOU ASK, WAS EITHER A CRAZY
LIBERAL OR MODERATE WHO TRIED
TOO HARD.
SO, WHY IT'S ALL UP FOR DEBATE.
MY REACTION WAS THAT I THINK WE
HAVE A WONDERFULLY DIVERSE DEEP
BENCH OF GREAT CANDIDATES, ALL
OF WHOM EVERY SINGLE ONE OF
THEM OUT THERE, WOULD BE MY
CHOICE OVER THE CURRENT
RESIDENT IN THE WHITE HOUSE.
I THINK THAT OUR PARTY NEEDS TO
FOCUS ON THAT AND WHAT A
PLENTIFUL GROUP OF PEOPLE WE
HAVE TO CHOOSE AMONG THEM,
PARTICULARLY PARTIAL TO THE
WOMEN FROM THE SENATE AS YOU
CAN IMAGINE.
>> SURE.
>> AND I AM IMPRESSED BY THEM
AND THE THINGS THEY HAD TO SAY
AND THE WAY THEY'RE HANDLING
THEMSELVES.
IT'S A DIFFICULT SITUATION TO
BE ON THE STAGE WITH SO MANY
PEOPLE.
SO I TRY NOT TO FALL FOR
WHATEVER TACTICS THEY USE.
WE NEED TO FOCUS ON THE BIGGER
ISSUE, WHICH IS LET'S PICK THE
PERSON WHO CAN BE THE BEST
PRESIDENT FOR OUR WHOLE
COUNTRY.
>> AS A REPUBLICAN WATCHING,
YOUR THOUGHTS.
>> WAS WATCHING THE BLUSH AND
WE TALKED, THE BLURB AND WE
TALKED ABOUT THE FUTURE OF THE
PARTY.
HARRIS' COMMENT TO BIDEN, THOSE
WERE DEMOCRATS.
AT THE TIME, AND THE OTHER
THING, THE WINNER IN THIS
DEBATE IS DAN BISHOP.
THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY PUT THEIR
PLATFORM IN FRONT OF THE PEOPLE
YESTERDAY AS THEY BATTLED FOR
WHAT DIRECTION IT'S GOING TO
GO.
DAN McCREEDY WILL HAVE TO MAKE
A DECISION AND THE SPECIAL
ELECTION WHETHER HE SUPPORTS
THAT OR NOT IN A HARD RIGHT
DISTRICT.
>> AND THERE IS A COMMERCIAL
ASSOCIATED IN WITH ELIZABETH
WARREN.
>> YEAH.
>> AND GOING TO BE INTERESTING.
SIX WEEKS LEFT.
>> THAT WAS AN NFL-WORTHY
PIVOT.
>> I FIGURED HE WOULD FIND A
WAY TO PLUG FOR HIS GUY THERE.
>> AND WITHOUT ME.
>> THIS IS ABOUT THE 9th
DISTRICT.
REALLY?
DISTRICT. REALLY? YOU DIDN'T REALIZE THAT?
>> AND NO, I DIDN'T GET AN E-
MAIL ABOUT THAT.
>> AND WE GO FROM POLITICAL
STANDPOINT.
WHICH CANDIDATE DO YOU THINK IS
THE STRONGEST?
>> WOW, I HAVE NO VOTE IN THAT
PRIMARY.
>> NO.
>> AND IT WOULD BE -- .
>> I'M NOT GOING TO GET THESE
TWO TO ENDORSE ANYBODY.
I THINK THE -- .
>> I THINK THE QUESTION IS WHO
WOULD WE WANT TO RUN AGAINST.
>> WHO WOULD YOU NOT WANT TO
RUN AGAINST.
>> AND I DON'T KNOW THE 20
NAMES.
>>YOU KNOW THE BIG PLAYERS.
COME ON.
THE PERSON THAT WAS THE MOST
MODERATE THAT I BELIEVE WAS THE
MOST CENT RIFT WAS THE FORMER
GOVERNOR OF WYOMING.
>> COLORADO, HICKENLOOPER IN.
>> NO, I REMEMBER HE SAID YOU
WANT TO FIGHT OVER NATIONAL
HEALTH, THAT IS NOT HAPPENING.
YOU WANT TO TAKE ON THE UNIONS,
OUR BIGGEST SUPPORTING BLOCK
AND TELL THEM, BY THE WAY,
YOU'RE GOING TO FOR FIT ALL OF
THAT UNION EXPENSE AND DUES YOU
HAVE PAID FOR YOUR HEALTH
INSURANCE PROGRAMS AND BE
FOLDED INTO A NATIONAL
HEALTHCARE PROGRAM, YOU'RE ALL
DREAMING.
IT'S NOT GOING TO HAPPEN.
WHAT I WAS GLAD TO SEE IS THAT
THERE IS ACTUALLY, YOUR POINT,
CHAZ, AND THE DEMOCRATIC
DEBATE.
A REAL DISCUSSION FROM WHAT I
CALL EVENT CENTRIST DEMOCRATS
TO VERY SOCIALLY LIBERAL AND
PROGRESSIVE AND TO WATCH THAT,
YOU KNOW, TO FOLD OUT.
I HAVE A HARD TIME WATCHING IT.
LIKE YOU SCREAMING AT THE
PANTHERS, I AM WATCHING THIS
AND I WANT TO THROW STUFF AT
THE TV.
THE VOTERS WILL MAKE THAT
DECISION.
>> AND I THINK I SPEAK FOR
EVERYBODY WHEN I SAY IT WILL BE
NICE IN SEPTEMBER ONCE IT'S
WHITTLED DOWN TO HALF OF WHAT
IT WAS.
I THINK EVERYBODY WANTS TO SEE
KAMALA HARRIS, ELIZABETH
WARREN, BIDEN, SANDERS AND
