have they done that a little bit here with kamala harris? i mean, putting her in charge of the border stuff is not going to enamor her to a whole lot of people. >> joe biden has no interest in seeing her fail. that doesn't really make sense. i have felt that the media has played a disproportionate amount of attention to the mistakes that she makes than they have to vice presidents in the past. >> the silliness about what she was saying in france? >> the truth is i can't remember ever talking about vice presidents as much as we talk about her. but it really is -- there is an overfocus on her that i do think is a result of gender and race. and i think that that's what that's about. so i think she's getting, in that sense, an unfair shake. one of the things what you were just talking about i think about where she's sort of standing behind him instead of next to him, i wonder if that's not because he feels like there is this story line about him that he's this doddering old fool that can't do anything and she's just there to help him figure out

is that kamala harris, is it pete buttigieg? is it joe biden? i can tell you one thing, in 2020 part of the reason joe biden ran for president, he looked at the field and decided i'm in the best position to win this. we don't know. i know it sounds like the political clock is ticking and it is still early days. the biden/obama relationship started in rocky moments, too, and became one of the strongest vice president/president relationships we've seen. stay tuned. >> evan and ba khaki, appreciate you joining me, thank you. >> my pleasure. >>> mitch mcconnell planned to disinvite donald trump from the biden inauguration. >> president biden and chinese president xi jinping have the opportunity to reset their relationship perhaps in a virtual summit today as tensions prize between the world's two largest economies. what's strong with me? what's strong with me? with me! with me! what's strong with me? with me! with me. the tempur-pedic breeze° makes sleep...feel cool. because the tempur-breeze° transfers heat away from your body... ...so you feel c

growing tension between vice president kamala harris and the white house. she's not being set up to be a future president, she's being set up to fail. but west wing staffers say frustrated by what they call to be frustrated mistakes on her part. congressman, thanks so much for joining us. have you spoken with the vice president recently? has any of this come up? have you picked up on any of this tension that we're hearing about? >> congressman, we're not hearing you. maybe you might have to hit the unmute button. >> do you hear me now? >> i can hear you now, yes, sir. >> thank you. >> i was reading about this, but i'm not aware of anything of that sort. i was at the vice president's residence not very long ago. i didn't detect anything, any kind of tension. i've been in and out of the white house. and every time i've been there, i was in the company of the vice president. i didn't notice anything untoward. i'm not sure that a lot of this is not emanating from -- you know, there's always tension amongst staff, and there's always speculations about who may be

kamala harris needs to be front and center. she and buttigieg are the best candidates this party has. i want to see her travel the country, i want to see those things. again, irv to say that i have to defend her because it's the same people writing these articles who stated that she was so ambitious and wanted to be president, and she's done nothing but be a great team player for the president of the united states. i get that there are criticisms. it is what it is and she'll get past this as well. >> don't shoot the messenger, that's what people have been telling these reporters -- >> i'm not shooting the me messenger, but i am going to defend the vice president of the united states. >> you don't just release a story and say, okay, we're going to -- that is not how it works. i understand what you're trying to insinuate here and i can tell you that's not how it works. mia, you heard the vice president lay out his case there. do you think they should be out here more? >> it's easy to be a great leader when things are going well.

sources tell cnn vice president kamala harris feels increasingly sidelined and handicapped in her own presidential aspirations. cnn has compiled accounts from nearly three dozen current and former harris aides, administration officials, democratic operatives, donors, and outside advisers, and they describe a white house divided on one side members of harris' inner circle who believe she's been setting to fail instead of being in position to be a future president. excuse me. but on the other side, west wing staffers are exasperated by what they perceive as harris' blunders including fumbled answers on israel and the border crisis. one of the journalists behind all this reporting, cnn senior reporter isaac dovar. isaac, what's behind this? >> we have a situation where the vice president could either be running for president herself in a couple of months, really, if joe biden doesn't run for re-election, or would be the most important validator for him running for re-election at 82 years old. he, of course, has said he's running for reevection. there are people who care sincerely about h

harris said she looks at this and says kamala harris is honored to be vice president. she's proud to do the work she's doing, but for these people like kounalakis feel she could be doing more, looking what the white house and president assigned her to do and think she's able to do more than she's being given and that is where the frustration's coming from. on the other hand you have donna brazile, another long time friend or supporter of kamala harris, democratic operative for many years who said to me that she looks at this and says you need to have consistent clear and concise message coming out of the vice president. she months more of that being done. the vice president to be out more, she said leave air force two gassed up all the time, let her out, is the way she summed it up to me. that say feeling about what's going on, not only in how the vice president's being treated by the assignment out of the white house but also how things are running within her own shop. >> can i ask a question here? is this looking forward as soon as 2024? is that some of the messaging

an effective contrast to the democrats and the policies that are being put forward by joe biden and kamala harris. but to do that, we have to be truthful, we have to stop looking backwards. we have to stop grievance politics and vendetta politics and what we have to do is talk about the concerns of the american people. and when the republican party did that two weeks ago in virginia, glenn youngkin was elected governor. and came very close to electing another republican governor in my home state, but even in my home state we won seats in the legislature in both houses by talking about a forward looking agenda, not a backward looking one. >> okay. and by the way, right to note the different approaches that those republican candidates took in virginia and new jersey. but the national party is very different. as you know, two-thirds of house members, the day, the night of the insurrection still voted to decertify the election. it has become a new litmus test for gop candidates, particularly in the house, to continue that election lie. i get the point of your book here, to your credit, saying

the white house says the president will transfer power to vice president kamala harris for a brief period of time when he's under anesthesia to get a colonoscopy. cnn's john harwood is live at the white house with this breaking news for us. john, what are you hearing right now? >> reporter: first of all, kate, it's worth noting the bit of history being made today. of course this is the first time we've had a woman vice president, and as a consequence of that, when the president takes this routine step for presidents when they undergo anes anesthesia, she's going to be the first woman in american history to exercise or have the potential to exercise presidential power. don't know how much she'll be able to do working out of her west wing office, but that is something worth stopping and taking notice of. this is something that is routine under the 25th amendment. that is the same 25th amendment that got talked about from time to time under president trump about whether his cabinet might move to somehow take power from him. of course that didn't happen. but presidents have under the 25th ame

biden had a colonoscopy yesterday, temporarily transferring power to kamala harris for 80 minutes. it came to light recently in the tell-all book in which she writes that trump kept it private because he didn't want mike pence to be in power saidated and did not want to be the butt of a joke. here's a skit on "saturday night live" with multiple bidens at different ages. >> how can you be me, you seem so happy, carefree. what's the word i'm looking for? >> lucid. >> yeah. >> kidding aside, the white house must be hoping, the new physical results halt and reverse a trend reversed by the morning poll. it's an elite concern around the issue of the president's physical and mental capacities. only 40% of voters surveyed agreed with the statement that biden is in good health. while 50% disagree. that represents a massive 29-point swing since that question was asked in october 2020 when voters believe that biden was in good health, 53/34%. when asked if mentally fit for the job, 46% say yes, 48%, say no. and perhaps the most concerning to the administration results among independents. we'd

to seek re-election and then there's real jockeying for position reportedly between vice president kamala harris and transportation secretary pete buttigieg so a lot can happen. buttigieg was asked about this earlier today, and this is what he said. >> she and i are part of a team that is disciplined and doesn't focus on what's obsessing the commentators. we're too busy with a job to do. she was the leader in this administration, with her leadership role and i in the present and everybody else in the cabinet and across the administration are laser focused on getting the job done. >> all right. so he underscores there is a team and there is no jockeying for position, you know, with 2024 in mind is this a problem for the white house that this kind of discussion or response has to be had? >> i mean, look, they don't want joe biden to look like a lame duck president so naturally they want to shut this sort of tuck down and that's why you saw buttigieg sort of dodge there, but the reality is, look, president biden just turned 79. there's a lot of questions among democrats about whether he'll h

every minute we spend talking about 2020 while we're wasting time doing that, joe biden, kamala harris, nancy pelosi and chuck schumer are laying ruin to this country. we'd better focus on that and take our eyes through rear view mirror and start looking through wind shield again. >> he defended himself as a trump supporter but backed away from trump's endless kroeg of the big lie. what do you think about that? >> well, i think that kriss kriss is correct. in republicans need to focus on the future and make the mid-term about the party in power. the problem is how destructive will donald trump be in the coming primaries? he is the one talking about the past and he still has a mega phone. notwithstanding that he's been kicked off social media. but christie is absolutely right. this election the other day, it was not about donald trump. it was about joe biden and the democrats. i think it will be the same unless it is in unhelpful ways. if republicans nominate candidates who are too trumpy, they will have problems in swing states and certainly, in swing districts. that's what i think we

. ♪ >> now, kamala, i want you to stand here and look at what you've done. >> but she should look at what she's done. boebert appears to believe that trolling over racism and the glorification of political violence come with a job here in washington. where would she get that idea? >> they're always telling us how to run it, how to do that. you know what, if they don't love it, tell them to leave it. >> remember that? yes, welcome to the trump republican party freak show caucus, home of paul gosar who was censured for posting a violent photoshop anime showing him attack democrats. the freak show caucus knows the party's current leader in the house, kevin mccarthy, is not going to stand in their way. mccarthy has gone from blaming trump for january 6th -- >> the president bears responsibility for wednesday's attack on congress by mob rioters. he should have immediately denounced the mob when he saw what was unfolding. these facts require media action by president trump. >> -- to complaining that trump should have been awarded a nobel peace prize. >> jimmy carter and barack obama. not r

vice president kamala harris called the verdict, quote, disappointing. >> the verdict really speaks for itself. as many of you know, i've worked to make the criminal justice system more equitable and clearly there is a lot more work to do. >> kyle rittenhouse in a tucker carlson produced documentary said he acted in self-defense. >> the jury reached the correct verdict, self-defense is not illegal. and i believe they came to the correct verdict and i'm glad that everything went well. >> talu, you're writing a book on george floyd's life. there are critical instances. as you watched this and as this is the eyes of the nation that watched the trial, what did you take away mr. it? >> there was a period over last summer where we started to think the country was going to come together on issues of violence, justice, criminal justice after george floyd's death. it did seem like people of all different persuasions and political backgrounds were coming on the street deciding they were not going to stand for what happened to george floyd. we quickly saw the backlash to that. now twee see people

we are in the middle of all these crises and i just don't feel like he is very visible and where is kamala harris? they are sort of hungry for leadership that they feel like they are not getting, and i think all this stuff that's going on in washington where people don't have a real sense of -- >> you could have had me in your focus group. you should have had me -- i have been saying the same thing on the show forever. you should have had me in your focus group. i could have told you that's the sentiment out there. where is joe biden? why is he holding events at 2 in the afternoon? where are the democrats? where is the vice president? why are the democrats not behind the president? why aren't they getting his agenda? i hear that every single day from people and, you know, it is -- obviously, it's being reflected in the people you are talking to. i think you can correct plea if me if i'm wrong, i don't think that democrats in washington were aware of it. they were too close to the forest for the trees, right? now with this election and what is happening, i guess, nationally with the polling

administration as a promising sign in the beginning and specifically pointing out howard alum, vice president kamala harris, saying she's representing access we haven't seen before. do you believe at this point that hbcus are a priority for the administration as the president had promised? >> i don't see the evidence of that. however, i do see students across the country, not just at howard, but in clark, moorehouse saying you need to make sure that we are a priority, because we are representative of your constituents. and the -- we represent a body of people, a community that has been historically disenfranchised. howard is in a very large part federally fund. if it's not evidence enough we suffer second-class living conditions in our dorms, if that's not evidence enough for the need for more funding for us, $3 billion is pocket change compared to what was originally on the table, is just -- >> we have to leave it there, unfortunately. channing, i hope we can stay in touch because this is an issue that unfortunately you know all too well isn't going away. we'd like to stay on it as well. thanks for

. >> and martin, vice president kamala harris released a statement saying that these verdicts send an important message. but she is taking issue with the defense and we could put up a portion of what she said on screen. she said the defense counsel said a tone that cast attendance of minister as intimidation and racist tropes. the jury arrived at his verdicts despite the tactics according to the vice president there. you were one of the faith leaders who went to brunswick georgia to support the arbery family. what were your thoughts as you were witnessing the defense resort to these just ugly and offensive tactics? >> well, i certainly concur that that is the worst of what a defense council or defense counselors could have used and embraced. they went strictly to race. they assumed and thank goodness the jury looked above and beyond. i mean, they were in the gutter essentially. and this is -- it is called a gutter mechanism. it is very offensive. but, you know, we all have to look higher and do better. and i think the prosecution did that. the prosecution was at the highest level. it

but vice president kamala harris said they are simply taking things one step at a time. >> i have been briefed and as the president has said, we're going to take every precaution, and so that's why we've taken the measures we have. >> do you think there will be any additional travel restrictions? >> we'll take it one step at a time, but as of now, we've done what we believe is necessary. >> reporter: now, biden health officials are in contact with health officials worldwide, as they are trying to get a grasp about this new variant. officials have said that imposing those new travel restrictions that are set to take place on monday will simply buy the administration more time to understand what this variant can do, whether it can potentially have severe illness that goes along with it, or even possibly evade vaccines. one thing the administration continues to push is vaccinations and booster shots, arguing that that is the way for americans to protect themselves. now, secretary of state tony blinken also held a phone call on saturday with a foreign minister and south africa, where he th

and every minute that we spend talking about 2020, while we're wasting time doing that, joe biden, kamala harris, nancy pelosi, and chuck schumer are laying ruin to this country. we better focus on that and take our eyes off the rear-view mirror and start looking through the windshield again. >> let's talk about it now with former fox news politics editor. chris, that comment from chris christie, i guess there was a smattering of applause. it wasn't a roaring sort of show of approval from the audience for what chris christie was saying. maybe they're not quite ready to move on just yet? >> well, they're ready. and as we saw from republicans in virginia, they want to. they're just afraid to get caught feeling that way. there is some anxiety among republicans, especially among republican elites as being perceived on not bending knee to trump and that they're going to get in trouble. he's telling them what they believe, they just don't have the courage yet to be out there and say it themselves. >> he was trying to say the quiet part out loud, but i'm not sure everybody was listening. let me

about biden has set off a behind the scenes jockeying, with pete buttigieg, is he going to run, and kamala harris, can she win? i think those questions will continue to sort of plague democrats as republicans surge in the polls. i'm skeptical biden will run again personally. we'll have to see. 2024 is a long way away. >> indeed it is. the good news is, thanksgiving is hours away. i hope that's good news for both of you. i hope you both have a happy holiday. >>> still ahead, long lines at the airport as holiday travel nears prepandemic levels. we're watching that, a rise in travelers along with a rise in covid cases in some areas of the u.s. there are things you can do to keep this a safe holiday. we'll go through those aheads. ♪ ♪ cases of anxiety in young adults are rising as experts warn of the effects on well-being caused by the pandemic. ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ opportunities... are all about timing. so now that medicare annual enrollment is here, it's time to take advantage of a plan that gives you more for your medicare dollar: an aarp medicare advantage plan from unitedhe
