Fromc news, this is today with savnah guthrie and hoda kotb. Live from studio 1a in rockefeller plaza. And good morning, everybody. Welcome to today. Nice to have you with us on a friday morning. Good to have you back. Ood to see edig ght wwnk hdooursan, sleep. Eight hours ago, i was in miami. The debate, our top story. Mu different el. With four of the top polling democrats taking stage, and also, senator biden at the center of pointed criticism, especially from Kamala Harris. Well start with Hallie Jackson. Good morning. Hey, savannah. Good morning to listen, we had expected this debate to heavily feature the frontrunner, joe biden, and it sure did,hough maybe not in the way his team would have wanted. Biden was front and center, but so were his ilvulnerabies. As senator Kamala Harris made very clear and very personal in which arguably not just the most dramatic moment of the debate but the primary sson so far. The most explosive exchange of this democratic primary yet. m going to direct this advice to president biden. Kamala harris confronting joe biden over his working with two segregationist senators two cades ago. I do not believe youre a racist, and i agree with you when youyo commit self to the importance of finding comoun grnd, but i also believe, and its personal. And it was hurtful. You also worked with them oppose busing. And you know, there was a little girl in california who was part of the secon class to integrate her public schools. And she was bussed to school every y. And that little girl was me. The audience stunned into silence with biden forced onto defense. Mischaracterization of my otsition acrosshe board. I did n praise racists. That is not true. Number one. Mber two, i we want to have this campaign litigated on who supports civil rights and who does not, im happy to do that. I was a public defender. Harris campaign tweeting the photo of the senator at a ild. That little girl was me. The ige framing a marquee moment in a mbatative debate. America does not want to witness a food fight. They want to know how were going to put food on their tabling. Harins havg the nights biggest breakout moments and the nightsge bigst target, that was biden, whose rivals rep ttedly madehe case for new leadershen. Joe bid was right when he said it was time to pass to torch to new americans 32 years ago. Im stild stillolding on to the porch. Making his point to support president obama. The candidates hashing out how progressive their policies should be, but all unanimous on this. Raise your hand if your government pron could pde coverage for undocumented immigrants. The president pouncing on that tstance,eting from the g20 summit in japan, how about taking care of american citizens first . Thats the end of that race. And on immigration, millennial mayor Pete Buttigieg lasting republican support for President Trumps policies. To say its okay to suggest that god would smile on the division of families at the hands of federal agts, that god would condone putting ildren in cages, h lost all claim to ever use religious language again. Some of the sharpest attacks saved for the man these candidates hope to replace. What is the greatest National Security threat to the states . Its donald trump. Trump is a phony. That trump is a pathological liar and a lied to the American People during his ack on the campaign trail, and t includes joe biden who is set to deliver a civil rights speech to grow to chico and speak with those folks. Bidens sources inside the campaign are pushing back on reports there was a freakoutmo nt, if you will, among staff, given bidens performance, describing the atmosphere as remarkay calm. Thank you so much. Former democratic senator Claire Mccaskill served with many of the president ial hopefuls on the stage and shes with us as an nbc news political analyst. Good mornint about lasnight, thats the theme of the morning. What did you think about Vice President biden . He came in as the frontrunner. Do you think last night hurt him . He took some shots. Theres no question it was not his best night. He had a solid performance, but kamala, she brought ldit. I wut it in context, though. This was the opening curtain on a very long dram w anle i think kamala certainly assured shes going to be in the final group of people on the stage debating come the end of this year, i think we cant assume that joe biden cant recover or that now its a done deal for Kamala Harris. Senator, heres the thing. There seems to be a different narrative emerging about joe biden. Everyone knows Barack Obamas number two, but also, heres the senator who has a complicated relationship with busing. He has thiselationship with segregationists, that he worked with while he was in the upper chamber. Do we think that last night moves the needle or do you think this is a narrative that is going to start to manifest itself in polling . If you look strategically at the votes in the democratic primary, nothing is more important than the africanamerican vote. And frankly, the youth vote. Eethats where you s growth. What happened last night . You saw some of the younger candidates go after bernie to try to grab some of that youth vote, and you saw Kamala Harris go after joe biden, trying to reassure the africanamerican community, hey, im real. You guys need to get with this. I can be not only the second black president in the United States, but the first woman president in the United States. The dynamic in tpr ary, whether its a republican primary or democratic primary, is always things that happen in the primary may later come back and haunt in the general election. Di you see anything on stage that concerned you as a democrat on those grounds . It will be interesting to see how this plays out. Ka la said after the debate that when she raised her hand to lester holts question o private insurance, she thought she was referring to her own. Se ud the word their and she thought they meant hers and she was not saying all private insurance should be outlawed here. Thats going to be something. Theres 150 Million People in this country that have Health Insurance at work and theyre not as excited about giving it up. Senator warrentad her grounds on that the night before. Thats going to be one of the debates in the primary. Hould we do away with tiv atprsuine illegal as bernie and elizabeth think we should do, or should private insurance be an option f people who still want to provide insurance at work and get insurance at work. Really quickly, who else do you think had a good night . I think mayor pete had a pretty good night. Frankly, i think one of the easons joe biden didnt meet expectations is because all of the candidates were pretty damn good. I maybe shouldnt say that on morning tv. Apologize to all the parents out there. Wash urmouth out with soap. Im going to see this glass as half full, as long as it doesnt get too personal. If itoes, voters will react. What we saw over the la two nights is we have a lot of strong candidates to take out the mess in the oval office. Senator Claire Mccaskill, thank you very much. Breaking overnight, President Trump sitting down with Russias Vladimir Putin on the sidelines of the g20 summit. It was their first meeting since the end of the mueller investigation, and President Trump raised some eyebrows with how he handled russian interference in u. S. Elections. Today, seniorna internat correspondent keir simmons traveling there with the president , hes in osaka, japan. Hey, craig. Ning. Good morning. The white house confirming this morning that the russian president , president tin, did indeed invite President Trump to moscow next may if he agreed to that, and the white house says hes not accepted the offer. It would be prettyg stunnin because next may would be just six months before the 2020 election. But it was President Trumps comments on election meddling with president putin sitting right next to him that is raising eyebrows this morning. Asked if he had warned russia not to meddle in the 2020 elections, President Trump appeared to jingly reprimand president putin. Dont meddle in the elections. Dont heddle in elections. Mr. Putin laughing along. Its the first time the two men have met since the conclusion of Robert Muellers investigation, blaming russia for sweeping and systematic election interference in 2016. Mr. Trump praising putin who has repeatedly denied any meddling. We have a very, very Good Relationship and look forward to good time ett together. A lot of positive things going to come out of the relationship, so vladimir, thank you vy much. Earlier, the twoen chatting ahead of the familhoto of all of the gathered leaders. President trump standing beside saudi arabias cro prince, mohammed bin salman. The summit taking place amid a backdrop of international instability.

Back to that meeting between President Trump and president n. Puti the white house said it lasted between 45 minutes and an hour. And they talked aboutrm a control, about iran, about venezuela, about ukraine, about syria, but it was one agreement that may be criticized. The white house says they agreed to improve relations. Keir simmons for us in osama, japan. Thank you. Two rulin from the u. S. Supreme court on the final day of its turn. One was a blow to the trump administrations plan to put a Citizenship Question on the census form, and the other a setback to advocates of political reform. Pete, good morning. Good morning, savannah. The Supreme Court rejectedhe trump administrations claim for why it needed to put a question census tizenship on the form that goes to every u. S. Household next year. It left the door o tn for government to try again, but there may not be enough time for that. What do we want . Ig immrant groups cheered the decision, aig win for them and s1fo7 crsu ss form taif theyre a u. S. Citizenou w discourage migrants from responding resulting in a population undercounted. F Supreme Court has handed us, the people o new york, a victory. We can stand proud and insure that every singlene of us will be counted. Required by the constitution every tenyears, the census determines how many members each state gets in the house of representatives and how muchmo y states get in federal grants. For densely populated states, the Citizenship Question could maken big difference the results. It would be a sad occurrence if people said since thats on there, im not going to be counted, because it means so much in terms of a who were as a nation. The rulin gives the up with an explanation for whyip it needs the citizensh question, and that will start another court battle. They need to start preparing the forms beffe the end o june, but he asked lawye if they can delay the census until the Supreme Court is given more information. Can you imagine you send out a census andot youre n allowed to say whether or not a person is an american citizen. There was another decision from the Supreme Court yesterday. Can you tell us about that . This involved two cases from maryland and north carolina, and in those cases, the court said its not for federal judge to weigh in when the states draw the maps for their congressional and legislative districts andav hey favor the party in power. This was a 54 ruling with the conservatives in the majority, saying the court has no authority to reallocate political power among the major parties. If this decision had gone the other way, it could have led to changes in who controls congress in the legislature. Thank you. L s more to get to on this friday morning, including new pressure on Major League Baseball to extend protective netting at all stadiums. Ue leagwide. This comes after a number of alarming incidents where fans have been dinju by foul balls. Gadi schwartz is in chicago with more on that. Gadi, good morning. Good morning,ai cr the white sox, tigers, and pirates are just some of the first teams to pledge for more netting at their stadiums. Re sthing as far as the foul poles. As some lawmakers are now calling for more to be done to protect fans like the 2yearold little girl whose skull was fractured by a foul ball during a cubs astros game last month. This morning, the pittsburgh pirates, the latest Major League Baseball team to extend netting in their stadium. Announcing plans to extend the barriers to or near the foul poles at pnc stadium. The pirates join a greing list of teams that haven following a number of injuries to fans hit by foul balls. It was a foul ball straight at a 2yearold girl in the stands and the looks of horror that for many had become the rallying cry r more protective netting. Yers morning, a t l aw orball shetruck with such force fractured her skull. Bleeding in the brain. Theres swelling. She sustained a seizure episoder shortly aft she was discharged originally and orecourse was admitted for the seizures rr. Since the incident, the cubs alrt almora jr. Has become one the first to call for action. I want to put a net around the whole stadium. Ow congress is getting involved. Senators Tammy Duckworth and Richard Durbin writing a letter rob manfred stating mlb and every team should expedite plans to extend netting to further protect fans, but injuries at other stadiums continue. A teen in los angeles hit in the face. Im not the only one at the stadium who got hit. Last year, a 79yearold woman killed by a pop fly at this leading people to say enough is enough. Watching the last little girl to get hit was traumatic. For those bringing gloves to the game, the mlbs recommendation oo extenting t the dugout is good enough. Ract from uldnt detlak the game. The mlbs decision to extend to the dugouts at the death at Dodger Stadium got all teams on ard, but injuries have back u further. Dylan is in for al. Whats going on in the forecast .

Sources within the bahamian government tell nbc news this morning it was one very large shark that attacked jordan lindsay. She, the california student, was out in the water snorkeling with her family and other tourists when this tragedy unfolded. This morning, a California Family still nshock. Their bahamas vacation taking a horrific turn ts cials telling nbc news believed this tiger shark attacked 21yearold jordan lindsay. The california College Student died after suffering devastating injuries. Her right arm torn off and multiple bites to other parts of her body. Her father saying in ast ement, she had been snorkeling with her mother before the attack. My wife tried her best to get her up to the shore, but unfortunately, jordan lost too much blood. A professor at her school, loyola marymount,university says the Communications Major was passionate about animals. B in some ways not a surprise that she would in nature doing the thing that she loved to do. Despite what ehappened, som families say it wontpt interru their plans to go snorkeling in the same spot as the shark attack. Well, right now, the plan is to still go there, but you know, weve got to kind of figure that out. In the u. S. , its already been a dangerous season for shark attacks. Just ts month off the coast of north carolina, three nonfatal attacks. Off bald head island, an 8yearold boy was bitten on the foot. 19yearold surfer austin reed attacked at anotherbeach. Its like i was paddling around and it came out ofer nowh up the coast, 17yeaold paige winter wading in waistdeep water lost her leg and two fingers to a shark. Her paramedic fathers quick thinking saving her life. Punching the shark. The experts say punch a shark in the snout, in the gills, but if u dont have the wherewithal to do that, what is the most important thing about a shark attack . At that point, the mostt importanhing would be to know your first aid. And if theres heavy blood loss, to improvise a tourniquet. Despite the state of attacks, atistically from 2011 to 17, more than two times as many people died taking selfies than in shark attacks. If youre in that environment, you respect them, and you know, stay away from them. Kerry, i kneyou have been doing some reporting. What more do you know about this attack . Well, there were initial reports from the chaos of the scene that three sharks had attacked jordan lindsay, but now the government says it was just that one shark. And when this was all unfolding, according to a statement from jordan lindsays family, they were shouting to her to get in, that they could see that there was a shark in the area, but she did not hear them shouting, and then as we know, this horror unfolded.

Pride is alwaysn a time whe the Community Comes together. Right now, we need to be reminded of our strength in numbers. Its not just celebrities. At least 3 Million People are descending upon the city this week to celebrate world pride and remember the rebellion at the stonewall inn. I heard it all started here so wanted to come. I feel like cheerin with gratitude for those people who fought so much so i dont have to fight now. Outside the legendary or pictures. Osed f brings back a lot of negative memories from way back, but we also see how much progress we have made, although were not done with our progress. In the Early Morning hours of june 28th, ic1969, pole raided the bar, a refuge for gays, lesbians, drag queens, and the transgender community. Raids were common back then,ut on this night, the crowd battled back. People went crazy. They started throwing everything in their pockets that they didnt need. The riots lasted several nightsnd helped launch the Gay Liberation front, an activist group that becamer the centef harrys life. Stonewall said you now have otthe permission n to be passive anymore. You can fight back. And thats what they did. The years thatll foed, pride parades were held around the stonewall anniversary. Now, half a century later,ci th is preparing for sundays massive march.

Lets go back 50ears here to use its been compare the boston tea party. Its been compared to seneca it falls. As a transformativt. Nigh what does stonewal mean to you . Visibility. What do you mean . Freedom. Well, when i was i the bar and the lights blinked, i was an 18yearold who had only been in new york for six weeks. I was terrorized. I was afscared. Ter seeing the brutality of th police that night inside the bar, literally d takingrag queens or anybody who was stereo typically looking, and slamming th up on the wall. Going to people who were prosperous, telling them to take out their wallets and taking their money and putting it in their pockets. That scared me. Eei had never sn that form of violence before. Buthen i got outside, all of a sudden, 50 to 75 people, i felt empowered. I was a street kid then. H some peoplee talked and said they were panicked, scared. Others say it was empowering and enough was enough. It seems like it wast all of tha wrapped into one. It was, it absolutelwas. Being outside and the police being trapped in the bar, they d always entrappeds. Tell people who dont know. How did that happen . They kept trying to have. They gotten all the money they could possibly get. They were ready to leave and gc ba to the station. They opened andll door and a of a sudden we were screaming and yelling and surrounding that door. After about the third or fourth me of them trying to get out, we startedr throwing whatee could find on the street. They felt under siege. H we entrapped the police. Thats the time,he first time this Community Fought back, and literally primoned them. The police were primisoned rather than us imprisoned. In a week of that, you start a group called the gay raiders. Part of this this group did is you ierrupt live tv broadcast to protest what you dubbed unfair coverage ofhe Gay Rights Movement at the time. One of therocasts y interrupted was this broadcast. Here it is. Nbcs biggest well, we found the video. The sound sorry about that interrumgz, i assure you, we had nothing to do with it. Who he is, we dont kno but well find out. That was frank mcgee at the time. He w kind of flummoxed by what happened. Tell us what happened, barbara ylters tookou to the hallwayan d talked with you. They wrestled me to the floor, picked me raup, barba walters came rtout, staed taking notes. Asked me what i had done. Barbara walters they said get in there. U on air. She said not until i hear this. She became the first to report on the gay demonstration on nationallevision, the first. Sunday, youlhe be t grand marshal here in new york city. What is than going to mea to you . I did that disruption to bring visibily to gay people. We wereay 100 g activists in 69. Today,ere millions.
