Later today. They are slated to have their first inperson party if you well to introduce themselves to the world. They will say they represent the change america needs. Were following that. Also going to follow the senators journey from washington to wilmington, delaware to, meet up with the top of the ticket right now. This as polls show that ticket is doing well. As stuart told you, raising a good deal of dough. That is normally immediate aftereffect much when either party sees the ticket completed or running mate ultimately chosen. Were also looking at schools planning reopenings across the country but theyre off to a bumpy start. In texas, one superintendent saying he is very, very concerned about the pressure for those who want school opened in person and those who are concerned. Well be talking to the dallas superintendent momentarily. Also getting latest read on the Hard Rock International doing everything he can to make sure he complies not only in florida but other states keeping distancing restrictions in effect, capacity under control but those rules sometimes can change by the moment. All right. Lets take a look at our lead story. The ticket that hopes to eventually take control of the executive branch of government come next january. Of course talking about joe biden and Kamala Harris. Reaction from the president and Vice President of the United States on that. But there is your completed ticket pairing right now. So the table is set. Hillary vaughn on what we can expect out of wilmington today. Hillary . Reporter hey, neil. Senator Kamala Harris is on her way from d. C. Here to delaware to stand side by side with joe biden for the very first time as his pick for Vice President after he asked her on a video call yesterday. Hi, hi, hi, hi. Sorry to keep you. Thats all right. Are you ready to go to work . Oh, my gosh. Im so ready to go to work. First of all is the answer yes . The answer is absolutely yes, joe. Im ready to work. Im ready to do this with you, for you. Reporter senator harris has evolved from bidens toughest critic on the debate stage to his now running mate on the ticket. She is also involved on issues throughout her campaign that stop short of the first primary contest in iowa. Harris led on issues like the Green New Deal, medicare for all, ideas that biden brushed back. She wanted to raise the Corporate Income tax rate to 35 . Much higher than bidens promise to hike corporate taxes to 28 . She wanted to pay for medicare for all with a tax on wall street, including taxes on stock and bond trades and derivative transactions. She pushed for student loan forgiveness. Making twoyear colleges tuition free. Bidens plan would not make it freeforall but free for some in a certain income bracket. Harris home state could not be more different than bidens. California is very hightaxed state. Bidens is lowtaxed state. Big tech ceos are likely breathing a sigh of relief, neil, many of them are her constituents. It is much better having her on the ticket than someone like Elizabeth Warren who promised to break them up whereas harris has been softer on Big Tech Companies and that tech crackdown. Neil . Neil so the first time she heard that she was the choice of the ticket was in that bit of video there when the former Vice President called her up and that was, that was the first time . That was not a staged event . Reporter that was the exchange, yeah, that was the first time. Neil wow. Wouldnt it have been cool if she said, changed my mind. Not interested. She didnt do that. Hillary vaughn, thank you very, very much. You know, always wonder, that seemed almost too perfect for words. Not too perfect for the president of the United States who is scowling at the choice that joe biden made here. Blake burman is following that reaction both yesterday and today. In fact they have already got ads out, dont they . Reporter by the way, me saying i dont want to do this live shot, give it to someone else. Over here at the white house, at least with the Trump Campaign the Immediate Reaction to the selection of Kamala Harris, point out in part tax differences between harris and President Trump. You saw hillary outline some of them. Here was part of the statement the Trump Campaign put forward. They said, quote, in her failed attempt at running for president Kamala Harris gleefully embraced the lefts radical manifesto, calling for trillions of dollars in new taxes and backing Bernie Sanderss government take over of health care. When President Trump was asked about this, his initial reaction was, he was surprised he says that biden picked harris. She was my number one draft pick and well see how she works out. She did very, very poorly primaries as you know. She was expected to do well and was, she ended up right around 2 and spent a lot of money. Reporter now the administration this morning tried to continue to point out the differences in tax policy. The treasury secretary Steve Mnuchin noted to Maria Bartiromo this morning that President Trump when it comes to capitalgains taxes wants a cut. I think for the next few years while we recover we should reduce those Capital Capital gains. I would just add, in 2003 biden voted against reintroduction of 20 . Again you see two very different economic policies. Reporter the treasury secretary, neil, brought up biden, completely brought up biden talking about capitalgains taxes. The white house was considering capitalgains tax cut Via Executive order. Larry kudlow told me said that is not the case. Treasury secretary Steve Mnuchin also told maria that this morning they feel they would have to do this legislatively. You saw mnuchin bring it up sort of unprompted. Kudlow did the same as well comparing the trump tax policy to the biden tax policy capital gains. Could appear potentially could become a Campaign Issue. Neil blake burman, thank you very, very much. This ticket will unite, that is the bidenharris ticket will unite in delaware, little less than two hours from now a lot of scrutiny whether these two are on the same page on a lot of issues. Keep in mind they did have their little acrimonious exchanges. That is not unprecedented. Weve often seen that. Everyone remember george bush, sr. Referring to Ronald Reagans tax cuts at the time as voodoo economics. He still got on the ticket and espoused them though he reversed them later on when he was president. There is a precedent two candidates being at odds, being united on the ticket. Where does this go now . Donna brazile, former dnc chairman and fox news contributor. Donna, how much do you think the past bickering during debates will come back . I could play the famous but one exchange about the busing issue, because it has been played 11,000 times i opted not to but i want to get your take on that whether it comes back to haunt the ticket . No. Let me just say this. As you mentioned, the fact that George Herbert walker bush referredded to Ronald Reagans economic plan as voodoo economics. This is not about number two on the ticket. It is about number one, the policies that joe biden will bring forward to the American People. I think Kamala Harris was a great choice. I call it lenya louisiana term, a Little Something extra. He needed a little spark. Not about salt and pepper when you season a ticket like this, joe biden is proven leader, seasoned politician, to ad someone with her expertise, ability to connect with voters, her ability to talk about these issues, to be a good messenger and to amplify that joe biden plans for the country, that is what is essential and that is why im exciting about this selection. Neil how much does this choice, really force one on joe biden . There was this letter from 100 africanamerican businesses and other leaders who said you need to pick an africanamerican woman or youre going to lose. It almost sounded like a threat but what did you think of that . Well as you know joe biden made this decision to put a woman on the ticket back on march 15th. That was two days after Brianna Taylor was murdered in louisville, kentucky. I think throughout the last several months, joe biden, his team, really looked at maybe a dozen or more women, all with different backgrounds, qualifications. They would have brought a lot to the ticket but in the end i think joe biden made up his mind after looking at her record, knowing that she had been vetted out there on the campaign trail. She is a tough, yes, she is very tough, there is nothing wrong with toughness. We want to see our leaders as being Battle Tested and ready for whatever might happen. I think joe biden looked at kamala. He knew her because she was a good friend of his late son beau biden. This is a excellent ticket a ticket for the future a ticket that will excite millions of americans for the first time to go out to cast their ballots this fall. Neil do you think he would have more of a problem with the africanamerican vote if he had chosen her, not chosen an africanamerican woman . Well of course, since i came out early and i repeated it often that a black woman would had so much to the ticket. Not so much any black woman. She is a Great American story, daughter of immigrants, came to howard university, a Historical Black College in america. A woman who dared to make a difference in california. Serving as a d. A. , a prosecutor, someone who took the side of victims of crime and made sure that they paid the price for their mistakes. This is a woman who has lived the American Experience and it really qualified to be president. So i think joe biden took all that into consideration when he made this historic choice. Neil you know, much has been said of the fact this is a ticket of the ages and by that the 22 year gap, it is generational. In that there is more scrutiny of this given joe bidens age, i think he is 77 now. He will be 78 upon inauguration if he got elected. A lot of people are saying look at her as a future president. As it is is, fact two out of three americans dont think joe biden would be able to finish a first term, do you think that changes the dynamic about how closely the running mate will be examined . Normally the rule of thumb is do no harm but now theyre looking at her increasingly as a potential president. How do you sort that out . She ran for president. So the scrutiny is already been done. Im sure there will be more scrutiny of her life, her record. I do believe that she will be able to take the kind of heat that we know that comes from running for president or in this case, be number two on the ticket but the one thing i would like to say, someone who is a student of history, this woman is important. Were after the an inflection point. The country wants change. This is referendum on the president of the United States and his record, his 3 1 2 years in office. And so i am confident that this generational, this ability to pass the torch, this ability to find a new page is going to be a good conversation that we need to have in american politics. Im a baby boomer. Im a millenial, genz, geny, all the generations to come theyre looking for their day to take a seat at the table. With Kamala Harris hopefully one day they will find their seats at the table. Neil do you think she knew, sheep had advanced heads up in that famous video of joe biden calling her . That indeed he was going to call her and tell her she was the pick or was it all as it appeared on that tape a surprise . I do believe it was a surprise and heres why. The team has been very, very tightlipped about the whole process. Neil yeah. I have so many old friends, colleagues, let me tell you, neil, i couldnt crack this one open. You know why . It was right in that room. I dont know what part of the house he was in because i havent been over to his house in a long time but he made this decision. Joe biden knew in his gut what he wanted but he also listened to others. I want to say this as someone that, you know, had an opportunity to talk to joe biden weeks ago, i wont tell you the content of the conversation but joe biden assured all of us that the process will be fair. That he would look at a number of factors before making this decision and making this choice, i do know that it was joe biden at his very best, the finest he can ever be. He was selecting someone who could become president. Remember he has been in the number two slot. He understands the role. He wanted to choose a partner who could help him lead america. Neil well see what happens. Donna brazil, good catching up with you,. God bless. Neil steve moore. Steve moore now, what do you think of this pick, steve . Good to be with you. Donna brazile is a tough act to follow. I thought she had very interesting insights. I agree with what donna just said but she left out a really important point which is why i think this is a problematic pick for joe biden. She is a liberal. She is as liberal as you can get. She has basically 100 liberal voting record and 0 virtually conservative record and what this dem straights i think to the American People which is very problematic for biden. This is not a moderate ticket. This is leftwing ticket, maybe the most leftwing ticket in history. So it doesnt balance out the ticket idealogically. I think that could be problematic. Neil you know what is interesting though, it is not as liberal as some on the right maybe had feared. I dont know if that helps or hurts their cause. She is not for, you know, people jettisoned private insurance plans in favor of medicare for all. She has been very leery of going after the Big Tech Companies to the degree that Elizabeth Warrens and others have. I dont know if that really registers anyway, she is the number two. She will have to align herself more closely with joe biden on these and other issues but, since we were talking with donna, steve, about the possibility, she could become president , would it be a more moderating presidency . I dont want to get ahead of ourselves but she is not in lockstep with the extreme progressive views that were espoused by Bernie Sanders and alexandria ocasiocortez and, obviously Elizabeth Warren. Well, im not so sure i agree with that. Lets take for example, medicare for all which, you know the vast majority of americans think is very problematic because it would have such a negative effect on the medicare system. I will never forget this moment. You know i think it was early in the democratic debates back in sometime around january or february. And i remember watching she was asked this question, do you favor medicare for all . I was just very curious how she would answer that. Oh, yes, im for this. Then she said interviewer asked her, well does that mean you would get rid of private insurance . And she said Something Like, i mean, she said, i mean medicare for everyone. That means people would lose their private insurance under that. She may have corrected her position since then but my point is, you know, she has a, this is a problem by the way when you nominate a sitting senator whether theyre republican or democrat. They have a voting record, neil. They cant duck the issues. We can look how they voted on things. You look at that voting record it doesnt differ much from the radical progressive agenda. Neil all right. Well watch it closely. Still early. Well see them on the stump together. Less than a couple of hours from now. Steve moore, thank you very much. Some sad news i do want to pass along with you, you might have heard, sumner redstone, the big media titan, viacom cbs fame. The man first to marry movies and television to bring them in entertainment powerhouse that proved tock the model that would lead them to news corp, fox, different brands are entertainment conglomerates. A lot of it started with sumner redstone. Now dead at age 97. Well have more after this. Businesses are starting to bounce back. But what if you could do better than that . Like adapt. Discover.

Thats why were helping you stay ahead and adapt with a network you can count on, 24 7 support and Flexible Solutions that work wherever you are. Call or go online today. Neil all right. Those debates are going to matter a lot more than they have in the past. Thats the read on it right now with all the attention focused on the first africanamerican woman on a president ial ticket here and one a lot of people are looking at, yeah, maybe she could be the next president of the United States with so many convinced joe biden wouldnt want to run for a second term. He would be 78 years old if he were elected at the time of the inauguration, at least that. She is 55 by the way. So there is a good deal scrutiny how she will perform in the debate opposite the president , Vice President mike pence. Fellow who is pretty good at debasements i had a honor working with him on one, wellschooled here, great writer as well, former leader of the wall street journal, great columnist now, also the wall street journal at large post.
