Record as californias attorney general. One of the sharpest attacks came from tulsi gabbard. She put over 1500 people in jail for marijuana violations and then laughed about it when she was asked if she ever smoked marijuana. I did the work of signific t significantly reforming the criminal Justice System of a state of 40 Million People which became a National Model for the work that needs to be done, and i am proud of that work. This morning half of the candidates who were on that stage last night, they will be here on new day. Sort of a round two. Andrew yang, Michael Bennet, Kirsten Gillibrand, Kamala Harris, and cory booker. And well talk about the keys. Is joe biden is a stronger or weaker front runner after the debate . Are the democrats stronger to take on President Trump than they were before last night . Lets bring in bakari, april ryan, and Andrew Gillum and angela rye. Angela, i want to start with you. Those big questions, who won, who lost, biden weak or strong, democrats better or worse. A lot going on this morning. There is a lot going on. Go. There is a lot going on this morning. I think that i was really happy to see strong moments from julian castro. He really showed up. He delivered. Like, from the opening to the closing. I also think that bidjoe biden prepared to take on attacks but i dont know how he took them. A telling moment for me was cory book booker and how he handled disruption by protesters. Listening to what the protest is about and waiting for them to have their time and then reclaiming his. On the contrary, when joe biden was interrupted, he looked agitated. I dont think he handled it as well. Also andrew yang. Andrew yang. He showed up. Im just saying. I was like, okay, i see why folks who dont like politics like this guy. Kamala harris came out swinging and never really stopped. To tell you the truth, she turned her body language towards former vp joe biden and had a number of things she wanted to hit him on and she never really let up. She was set to aggressive. Do you think that was effective . Thats still yet to be seen. As she was throwing punches, they were also coming back. They were coming back in volumes. I think you could see the strategy was to not really address too many people who are were to the left of her on that stage and get into a discussion with joe biden. You know, she had to and we talked about this yesterday and the day before. She had to go in there, stand in her record on health care, talk about those issues. It was the first time that she wrote out this plan for the country. You know, shes going to have to continue to defend that plan as we go through. I think its a good plan. There are many who think its a good plan. Shes going to have to be firm in that. Then defending your record which is something i think everyone has to do. Senator harris did a good job last night. But shes going to have to do a better job. Bakari seller, harris set the bar yesterday. Said shes going to have to be able to explain it. And she was pressed on it. So do you think she met the bar she needed to . Well, she was pressed on that and a number of other things. And what were going to want to see as voters as we move forward is that senator harris doesnt have a glass jaw. That she cannot only deliver a punch but she can take a punch and keep on ticking. That came in my opinion under some question yesterday as a result of the debate, demeanor, posture, response, level of aggressiveness. And not just doing the debate, but in the cnn after interviews that took place. What did you hear last night that raised your eyebrows . She was asked again about Tulsi Gabbards attack on her and it was sort of, you know, shes sitting at 1 . I think we should move forward. Condescending. There was not a real engagement. I dont think thats who she is. I think yesterday may have taken her off guard. But ive got to tell you, i was not a fan of last night debate. Why . I thought by comparison to the night before which you had stark differences on that stage, it felt like the day befores debate we got a lot more substantive, you know, sort of conflict between each other. Last night felt a little cheap. It felt much more political than about the people. And i think if you were a regular viewer sitting at home, you wanted to hear more about what these folks were going to do for you. We predicted it. We knew the second tier candidates would have to engage and engage aggressively. And i think that happened. At moments it felt, god, i wish we were talking more about the people whose lives were trying to impact. April, your take . Im very much with the mayor. I had an issue last night with some of the canned responses. I mean, koolaid is a great drink for some, but i felt that that was strategically placed and it was corny. You know but arent all zingers corny . No. Weve had good ones on that stage. There were genuine moments, but there were also moments where people had to say, look. Im going to one up you. The blood was in the water. Blood in the water was Kamala Harris because everyone did Opposition Research on her as well as joe biden. Joe biden and when it comes to joe biden, you know, it was a fight. It was a fight. He came for the fight. But it was also a handicap match because everyone jumped on him. Versus him being able to give his information. He was so shaken, rattled. But we saw a stronger joe. We saw a wounded kamala. She can give a punch, but she cant take one. And cory booker, spartacus, i dont know who he was. It wasnt mr. Rogers and wasnt walt disney. But you think he had a commanding performance last night . I think cory did well last night. He did well, but he was different. I think thats who cory is. And i think castro did well. But i want to say as the night went on, i know were giving our lumps to senator harris. She actually did extremely well when she focused her fire on donald trump. I think that when she was laying out the argument of donald trump breaking those promises, i think in her closing when individuals heard that agenda, when they saw that fierceful record as prosecutors, you know, that is the Kamala Harris people believe can take on donald trump. The blessing in all of this is were sitting here august 1st of 2019. So this is the second debate weve had. I think everybody on that stage will get better. But to andrews point, to make this is a clear contest, this will have to win out. I think Kamala Harris is the most talented person in the race. And i think that joe biden is weaker Going Forward. But we shall see. We just have a lot of questions. I just want to push back really quickly. I think that bill de blasio i dont know where he was looking. Like, he was but anyway. When he was pushing back on joe biden and forcing him to answer questions, thats the role i believe Kamala Harris should have played and what she should play Going Forward in the debate. I do not think its in her best interest to prosecute donald trump in her opening and closing moments. Thats the time she should be showing her vision for america. That is important. People know she can effectively prosecute. If youve ever watched this woman, shes a superstar in these. We need to see a different side of her. When you talk about the prosecution, this is probably it for bill de blasio. Yeah. Yes, yes. Over, done, toast. But he doesnt want to go back to new york. But heres the problem yall are hard. But its real. Last night what should have happened, those candidates should have jumped on him about eric garner. And when he threw it over to the Vice President , there are a lot of people who had can take responsibility for what happened to eric garner and the fact that there has not been justice. But the moment was lost and the Vice President should have come back, as mayor you are over top of the police department. And we heard the protests last night. But the issue may have been been, whats the point of punching down to bill de blasio . To put on the record, this is still an issue. This is still very much an issue. And its old. Joe biden said old. Were talking about old stuff. They just decided that eric garners case would not go forward with the department of justice. It is still time right now. Something can be done. Can i ask one question about something angela brought up that has been brought up also with Kamala Harris. Donald trump. Angela, you said something interesting. You said you didnt think that she should have used her time to prosecute donald trump. This morning as were waking up, a lot of the conventional wisdom is that President Trump got off easy. Do you think he should have been more the focus, mayor . Well, hes always the focus as part of this. If he isnt, hes going to insert himself one way or another. One way to use the president is contrast our visions. His vision for america versus what our vision for america is. I also got to say these folks are in a primary and theyre trying to win the first race first. And so i could understand why it is that theyre putting attention on each other. And the final analysis last night was probably no damage done to biden and no real damage done to harris. But for the second tier candidates, people are going to be looking twice at cory booker and quite possibly more at secretary castro. And yang. Those two i thought delivered a bit of a the command performance. Can i explain to the viewers why andrew yang is so good at what he does . Everybody at this table has been around politics, covering it, running for office, dealing with candidates in the caucus. But yang might be the most disciplined candidate ive seen in my life. With every single question, it came back to his answer of the universal basic income. The question was about women in the workplace. The question was about criminal justice, universal basic income. So his discipline last night shone through. Theres nobody on the stage who knows and you yang to throw a counterpunch. But he put it on the table. And hes going to be around for a minute. We do have andrew yang literally waiting on the stairs to talk to us next. We want to ask one question of you because President Trump in a way was a focus of criticism last night. Is that smart politics for the democratic field . I love you ask that question, john. Because theres a lot of twitter chatter about whether or not thats an effective form of conversation and debate. And i think that if we once we get to the point where we can no longer call in to question the records of any president. Right . Of any person who has been a Public Servant to this country, we have a problem and were no longer patriotic. I dont think hes above being criticized. I think that is absolutely fair game. I think again, secretary castro had a strong moment with joe biden where he said the difference between me and you is that one of us has learned from the past. I quoted that wrong, but i think thats really important. Joe biden came and thought that maybe because he was in front of a black audience, all he had to do was say i was the Vice President and president obamas record is flawless. And thats not real. He struggled with that. I think its important for people to say, we started. We laid a good foundation. Hoang on. Im so sorry, angela. April. Bakari, hang on. Mayor. Everyone. Cut me a break here. Because the control room what they just told me was you guys are coming back. Were going to bring on andrew yang right now because you were talking about him in the moment he had last night. Were going to bring on candidate andrew yang and now youll all be back. I think we have andrew yang to look at right here. We are looking at him. He had a memorable line, many of them last night.

That was businessman andrew yang getting some of the loudest applause with that line in his Opening Statement of the debate. Will he stand out in this crowded democratic field . Andrew yang joins us right now. Great to have you here. Great to be here. How do you think last night went . Thought it went great. Its phenomenal to be back in detroit. I spent a lot of time here. It felt like we got a really phenomenal opportunity to make our case to the American People to present our vision. You know, our panel very quickly was just applauding you. They said that your discipline, your messaged discipline, your single minded focus and the way you could work any questions back to your message of wanting to give every adult 1,000 is admirable. Do you ever get tired of that or want to branch out . Well, i have over a hundred policies on my website. The freedom dividend to me is just the main one that would improve americans lives the fastest. I want you to explain that again. You didnt even really at the debate get to dive in and explain why you think thats so important, particularly it deals with issues of automation, it deals with issues of inequality. So explain it. Well, were here in detroit. The midwest and the south lost 4 Million Manufacturing jobs over the last number of years. And those jobs unfortunately were not replaced in any real way. And what happened to the manufacturing jobs will now happen to retail jobs, call jobs, food service jobs, Truck Driving job is the most common job in 29 states. My friends are working on Artificial Intelligence thats going to displace many of these workers. And the more they know, the more concerned they are. So to me this is one of the driving forces behind Donald Trumps victory in 2016. Because if you look at where these manufacturing jobs, where they used to be, they were in michigan, ohio, pennsylvania, wisconsin, missouri, iowa. All the swing states he needed to win and he did win all of those states. The freedom dividend, this 1,000 a month is a path forward for Many Americans to continue get pushed aside by an economy thats why give it to millionaires . Wouldnt you save if you dont give to millionaires who dont need it . This is based upon the experience weve had in alaska which has had a dividend for almost 20 years. Everybody in alaska gets 1,000 to 2,000 a year. It destigmatizes it. You dont have to check how much money everyone is making. And its a right of citizenship. Theres a big difference between the population size of alaska and the population size of america. Yeah. Its going to do even more good here. Theyre paying for it in alaska with oil money. Technology is the oil of the 21st century. And if we give the American People a tiny slice of every amazon sale, every google search, every robot truck mile, we can do this. Is that your plan forever . Automation isnt going away. So youre just going to keep dolling out the thousand dollars . Is there another solution to keep americans working . Well, i touched on it last night. The goal is to try to create new jobs that focus upon the needs of the 21st century. Around our own health and well being. Around caring for each other and educating our children and making the environment cleaner and safer. Right now unfortunately those are not the ways we measure our own progress. Really we measure our progress through gdp and stock market prices. And these measure mgments are becoming related to how were doing. G zp at record highs while our Life Expectancy has declined for the last three years. Its not just Life Expectancy. Its stress, anxiety, depres
