Welcome to the journal editorial report. After ducking the press for a month, vice president kamala harris gave her first interview with the campaign to cnn on thursday sitting down with tim walz in the battleground state in georgia where she defended herself from accusations she has flipflopped on key issues including fracking and immigration. My values have not changed. You mentioned the green new deal. I have always believed and i have worked on it that the climate crisis is real, that it is an urgent matter to which we should apply metrics that include holding ourselves to deadlines around time. We did that with the inflation reduction act. My value around what to do to secure the border, that value has not changed. I spent two terms as the attorney general of california prosecuting transnational, organizations, violations of american laws regarding the illegal passage of guns, drugs and human beings across the border. Paul: let s bring in dan heninger and bill mcgurn. Did you lear
Right now. I love arizona and i am so proud of what weve delivered. Because i choose civility, understanding, listening, working together to get stuff done, i will leave the senate at this end of this year. Joining us now is msnbc political contributor, jake sherman. How much does this change the dynamics of the senate Going Forward . Drastically. Number one, theres a lot to unpack. Sinema says she chooses compromise. She was part of a lot of compromises in the last three or four years. A variety of compromises including gun legislation. She was part of every major compromise on capitol hill. Number two, this becomes a twoway race between lake and gallego. A head to head race between a republican and democratic where no independent is going to be siphoning off votes. Number three, a real Pick Up Opportunity for either party i guess. Sinema was an independent, but republicans feel as though lake now has a real chance. Democrats feel like gallego has it in the bag. So choose your adventu
i was pleased to see they reached a firm conclusion that no charges should be brought against me in this case. this was an exhaustive investigation going back more than 40 years. even into the 1970s, when i was a new senator. the council acknowledged i cooperated and did not throw up any roadblocks. i sought no delays and i was determined to give the special counsel what he needed, i went forward with a five hour in person interview over two days on october the 8th and 9th of last year, even though israel had just been attacked by hamas on the seventh and i was occupied. i was handling an international crisis. i was pleased to see the special counsel may clear the distinction between this case and mr. trump s case, the council wrote several material distinctions between mr. trump s case and mr. biden s are clear. most notably, after given multiple chances to return classified documents to avoid prosecution, trump did the opposite. he not only refused to return the documents f
. that s it for us. have a great weekend. the news continues. the source with kaitlan collins starts now. and tonight straight from the source donald trump weighing in after president biden is facing no charges in his classified documents investigation. the former president claiming that he cooperated with the feds, which he didn t, also alleging that biden did not, which he did. the white house is blasting the report as politically motivated and certainly a political headache. meanwhile, a potential trump raining mate tells me she would not have done what mike pence did on january 6th, you know, abiding by that thing called the constitution. the apparent new republican litmus test to the second in line to the presidency. also tonight israel s prime minister wants its military to have plans to evacuate rafah where over a million palestinians are sheltering as the white house is warning military action there would be a, quote, disaster. i m kaitlan collins and this i
suggest that. is there any evidence to suggest that the presidency was what they were focused on? there is some evidence of that. there were people saying we don t want jefferson davis to be elected president and there was also one of the drafts of section 3 specifically mentioned the presidency and the vice president. but it wasn t the final enactment. right. it wasn t the final enactment, but it shows there was some concern about some people about confederate insurrectionists ascending to the presidency. we look at the historical evidence and pick the evidence we like and interpret is tan den shally because you can throw this counterveiling evidence back in our face. we wanted to focus on the text of the constitution, this was a compromised provision that was enacted in section 3. let me ask you another question about the states. you have forcefully made an argument about the states not being able to enforce section 3, so if we agree with you on that, what happens
