The vice President Kamala Harris just speaking at the White House after meeting with the Israeli Prime Minister, Benjamin Netanyahu. Now, these remarks were not originally on her schedule, and they were actually more extensive remarks than President Biden made after his meeting with Netanyahu. Harrisfact that he congratulated Joe Biden when he won the election. But I also think that that relationship can be healed. David, so let's just time. It was very interesting what nick just said, People assume because I'm a Latina woman, I'm going to be excited. But this is... But Harris, right now, she said, She's not exciting to me. Do things like that, do reports like this, give you any pause of a concern?No, let's talk about different groups of voters. I certainly hear from a lot in Colorado, we're a politically diverse state as well. Republican representatives, Democratic representatives. First of all, Democrats are excited. You find people that were saying, I'm voting for Joe Biden, but I'm not sure about it, or I'm doing it to stop Trump. Now they have somebody to vote for, a powerful vision to protect our freedoms for our future. Now, let's talk about those undecided voters. People that for months have been saying, Oh, I don't know. I don't like Donald Trump. I don't like Joe Biden. Now there is somebody new. There is that new option. She has to introduce herself and close the deal. She has the skills to do it. The more people get to know her, they see she's smart, they see she's on top of it, and they see that she has a powerful vision for moving our country forward and protecting our freedom. Just a few hours ago, the House. In that number, governor, there were six Democrats. They voted to rebuke Vice President Harris over the administration's handling of the Southern border. I want to ask you about this because the border crisis, of course, is something you know very well in Colorado.Denver has got, what, more than 40,000 migrants since the start of last year. That's 5% of the overall city population of the entire city of Denver. It's cost 58 million dollars. That's a lot of money that could have gone, I'm sure, to some really important needs that Denver already had. Are you worried about what immigration could do as an issue to Vice President Harris? Well, I think more and more people are realizing that Donald Trump is to blame for the lack of border security. We had a solid bipartisan bill Republicans, Democrats investing in border security, locking down the border. And guess what? The Republicans of the House aren't even allowing it to come to a vote. They refuse to pass it. Absent Congressional action and investment in border security, there's only so much any President can beyond rhetoric. Frankly, with President Biden's action that he's taken, the influx of immigrants is down 55% at the border. So they made some progress, but they need Congress to lock down that border and secure it and pass immigration reform. Now, governor, you've said you take a serious look at being Kamala Harris's running mate, if asked. I know you've been humorous about it in some senses.However, if this happened, okay, if it's you and you are vice president's nominee, Jared Polis, you will be against JD Vance. And he is seeing, obviously, a lot of controversial comments he made reemerge, childless cat ladies among them. Here are some of the others. We're effectively run in this country via the Democrats, via our corporate oligarchs by a bunch of childless cat ladies who are miserable at their own lives and the choices that they've made. It's just a basic fact. You look at Kamala Harris, Pete Buttigich, AOC. The entire future of the Democrats is controlled by people without children. And how does it make any sense that we've turned our country over to people who don't really have a direct stake in it? Governor Polis, what would you say to Vance if you were on the same stage as him? Well, first of all, look, of all the people in the country that Donald Trump could have chose, this reflects his judgment, he chose JD Vance. This is not somebody who is a normie. He's not a normal person. You don't attack people, whether they have cats or dogs. Some people have kids, some people have dogs and cats.We have two kids and a dog. I mean, I'm allergic to cats, or I'd probably have a cat, too. Why are politicians talking about that? What the American people want to hear is your plan for reducing costs, for improving education, for growing our economy. That's what we should be talking about, not attacking different kinds of families just because you don't like cats or dogs or whatever it is. All right. Well, Governor Polis, I appreciate your time. Thank you, sir. Signaling that it's game on this from the vice president on the subject of debates. I have agreed to the previously agreed upon September 10th debate. He agreed to that previously. Now it appears he's backpedaling, but I'm ready. I think the voters deserve to see the split screen that exists in this race on a debate stage. I'm ready. Let's go. Prior to President Biden dropping out of the race, the two campaigns had agreed to a debate hosted by ABC on September 10th. Vice President Harris did not elaborate today on whether she would accept a debate between her and former President Trump for September 17th, proposed now by Fox News. The former President on a press call with reporters earlier this week, said he wants to debate her but has not yet agreed to anything.He was off the trail today, but did phone in this morning to Fox. They say, Sir, you just got hit with a bullet. Maybe he's changed. Be nice. I'd love to That's very nice, but I'm dealing against real garbage. She was a prosecutor, but she was a failed prosecutor. She put a lot of people in jail that should have never been there. She put people in jail that were political enemies. She's bad news. She's a radical, very smart person. She failed her bar exam. She couldn't even pass her bar exam. It was brutal on her. She couldn't pass it. She thought she'd never be able to pass it. This is what we have as our next president? I'll keep it a moment. Ms. Harris failed her first time then passed on her next try. It's not uncommon to fail California's bar exam. At least one state Supreme Court justice flunked it, William Clark, who went on to be a top advisor in the Reagan administration. The state's Republican governor in the 1990s, Pete Wilson, didn't pass till his fourth try. But back to today, as we said at the top, new polling shows how tight the race now is.It's from the New York Times. It shows vice President Harris up six points from President Biden's performance, but still within the margin of error. Joining us now, senior political competitor from across the partisan spectrum, Scott Jennings, Maria Cardona, former Harris communications director Jamal Simmons and Paul Bagala. Jamal, what do you make of how things are going right now? Obviously, this is a honeymoon phase. Clearly, former President Trump is honing his things that I saw when I was with her, she met with labor members all over the country. We're now seeing the Laborers International come out and endorse her. We saw her at the AFT, the Teachers Union, today, and they've endorsed.They're the first union to endorse her. She's got this real focus on middle class families, working class families, and how they're going to get ahead in the country. I think that is going to be a very important thing for her as she moves forward.
