kamla Harris has seen a lot of Firsts I kamla Harris do solemnly swear she was the first black woman elected district attorney for San Francisco in 2004 were forced to press charges and the first woman to be California’s attorney general fighting to make sure those words always ring true in 2017 she became the first Indian American elected to the United States Senate that I will support and defend the constitution of United States then kamla Harris took all of those firsts to the White House we did it Joe she began as a Challenger for the nomination there was a little girl in California who was part of the second class to integrate her public schools and she was busted to school every day and that little girl was me but ultimately suspended her own lackluster campaign and became a running mate who towed the party line a friend of Joe Biden’s late sunbo the then Senator brought Youth and diversity to a ticket headed by an older white man while her previous Life as a tough on crime prosecutor was an added advantage to a race centered on Law and Order she served as Joe Biden’s vice president since 2020 while I may be the first woman in this office I will not be the last her policies are progressive I will always fight for a woman’s right to make a decision about her her own body we have to take on the climate crisis and we have to also lower monthly energy bills well the investment we’re talking about today we’ll do both but she’s struggled in the polls the vice president has an approval rating of around 38% mirroring that of Joe Biden despite the backing of her tight-knit African-American college sorority news polls indicate Kamala Harris is as popular with black voters as her predecessor she’s been accused of being absent as vice president and an unconvincing public speaker we’ve been to the Border we’ve been to the Border you haven’t been to the Border I and I haven’t been to Europe but Kamala Harris is now running full steam ahead for the most powerful position in the United States a position the California Native has had in her sights for many years she’s the daughter of immigrants raised by a single mom in the midst of the civil rights movement and had been tipped to take over after the president President’s first four years but Joe Biden wouldn’t be drawn on why he initially refused to hand her the Reigns what changed was the gravity of the situation I inherited there’s no denying taking on Donald Trump in November will be a challenge for the Democratic party well this here is the one the most existential consequential and important election of our lifetime 59-year-old kamla Harris has had a lot of titles in her time some unexpected I wouldn’t have picked vice president Trump to be vice president others nicknames from her stepchildren so they call me marala but today the lawyer turned Democratic nominee hopes the next will be president of the United States of America Melissa McCay ABC [Applause] News for

DAVID: THE IRAN PROXY ATTACKS ON U.S. FORCES NOW UP TO 108 AS THEY KEEP ESCALATING. WE KEEP ASKING, WHAT CAN WE DO TO STOP THIS? LET’S ASK FORMER USS COLE COMMANDER KIRK LIPPOLD. COMMANDER, HAPPY NEW YEAR, THANK YOU FOR BEING HERE. THERE’S AN OLD SAYING IN JOURNALISM, FOLLOW THE MONEY.
WELL, IT ALL SEEMS TO LEAD BACK TO IRAN, DOESN’T IT? >> HAPPY NEW YEAR, DAVID. YES, IT E REALLY DUDS COME DOWN TO THE MONEY. AND AT THE END OF THE DAY, WHAT THAT MEANS IS THE FIRST THING THAT THE U.S. SHOULD CONSIDER IS YOU HEAR A LOT OF PEOPLE TALKING
THAT, JEEZ, WE SHOULD GO FROM THESE ATTACKS ON OUR FORCES DIRECTLY TO KINETIC, IN OTHER WORDS, WE SHOULD BE ATTACKING. THE REALITY IS WE COULD GO AND AND START DOING PRE-JOINT YCPOA — JCP IF OA A, OR IRAN NUCLEAR AGREEMENT, WE COULD PUT SANCTIONS ON IRAN. WE COULD BEGIN TO INSPECT THEY’RE TYPE.
BUT IN ACTUAL FEW, YOU FOLLOW SANCTIONS, YOU GET TO THE MONEY. THE MONEY IS WHAT IRAN NEEDS TO CON THIS WAR. DAVID: AND WE’VE PRUNE THAT. WE HAD THE MAXIMUM PRESSURE CAMPAIGN OF THE PREVIOUS ADMINISTRATION WHERE WE IMPOSED THESE ZAPSES, AND FOR SOME — SANCTIONS, AND FOR SOME REASON THIS ADMINISTRATION TOOK THOSE
SANCTIONS OFF. WE DON’T HAVE TO PUT OUR TROOPS AT RISKER — ARE RISK. ALL WE HAVE TO DO IS TURN OFF THE PIG GOT THAT THE BIDEN ADMINISTRATION OPENED FOR THE IRANIANS. >> IT’S ALSO THE OBAMA ADMINISTRATION. THEY’RE SO DESPERATE FOR THAT NUCLEAR AGREEMENT WHICH AT THIS POINT, LET’S BE REALISTIC, IT IS
DEAD. THE ENRICHMENT ACTIVITIES BY THE IRANIANS AND THE AYATOLLAHS HAVE CLEARLY PROVEN THAT THEY ARE AFTER A WEAPON, THEY’RE GOING TO CONTINUE TO PURSUE IT. IT IS GOING TO BE A SHE THE — DESTABILIZER NOT JUST FOR THE MIDDLE EAST, BUT THE WORLD. SO WE NEED TO TAKE POSITIVE
STEPS TO DO THE SNAPBACK SANCTIONS AND CONTINUE TO STRANGLE IRAN AS A QUICKLY AND EFFECTIVELY AS POSSIBLE. WE ALSO NEED TO MAKE SURE THAT A OUR ALLIES BOTH IN THE FAR EAST AND IN EUROPE GET ONBOARD WITH IT BECAUSE THEY NEED TO UNDERSTAND THAT AT THIS POINT THE WORLD IS ENTERING, AND
ESPECIALLY THE UNITED STATES, A PERIOD OF STRATEGIC DANGER BETWEEN RUSSIA, CHINA AND IRANIAN ACTIVITIES THAT ARE DESTABILIZING THE WORLD. DAVID: WELL, COMMANDER, WHAT DO WE DO IF IRAN DOES GET A NUKE? >> YOU KNOW, I THINK THAT AT THAT POINT WE’RE GOING TO HAVE TO LOOK AND FIGURE OUT WHAT WE
NEED TO DO AND WE DESTROY THAT CAPABILITY. I’M I’M SURE THAT RIGHT NOW THE JOINT CHIEFS OF STAFF ARE VERY DILIGENTLY WORKING TRYING TO FIGURE OUT CAN A STRIKE BE DONE, BUT YOU HAVE TO REMEMBER WE MAY HAVE A SAY IN THAT, BUT AT THE END OF THE DAY THE COUNTRY THAT
IS THREATENED THE MOTE BY THOSE — MOST BY THOSE NUCLEAR WEAPONS IS ISRAEL. AND I WOULD NOT BE SURPRISED IF ISRAEL GIVES IRAN THE OPPORTUNITY, DISARM, STAND DOWN OR THEY WOULD MAKE IRAN CEASE TO EXIST. DAVID: COMMANDER, YOU HAVE SOME EBBS EXPERIENCE WITH ATTACKS OP U.S. SHIPS YOURSELF AS COMMAND E
OF THE USS COLE. HAVE THEY STOPPED NOW IN THE RED SEA? BECAUSE THERE IS MORE COMMERCE. WE DON’T HAVE MUCH TIME, BUT HAS THE TASK FORCE BEEN SUCCESSFUL? >> THE TASK FORCE HAS NOT BEEN SUCCESSFUL, AND WHILE MARITIME TRAFFIC HAS PICKED UP, YOU CAN SEE A NUMBER OF NATIONS IS HAVE
CHOSEN NOT TO COME UNDER ANY KIND OF U.S. OR COORDINATED CONTROL. THEY’RE TAKING CARE OF THEIR SHIPS FIRST. SO IT’S A VERY DISJOINTED EFFORT, BUT AT THE END OF THE DAY, THE BIDEN ADMINISTRATION, SECRETARY AUSTIN NEED TO EXERCISE LEADERSHIP IN THAT AREA TO DEMONSTRATE THAT WE CAN KEEP THOSE SHIPPING SAFE.
DAVID: WELL, THANK YOU FOR EXERCISING LEADERSHIP AS COMMAND OF THE USS NAVY. WE REALLY APPRECIATE YOU COMING IN. COMMANDER LIP OLD, THANK
GILLIAN. >> Gillian: ALEX HOFF IN D.C. THANK YOU. BRET. >> Bret: THE BIDEN WHITE HOUSE WANTS TO REV UP THE PRESIDENT’S CAMPAIGN EVENTS NEXT YEAR WITH ABORTION AND REPRODUCTIVE RIGHTS SET TO BE A MAIN FOCUS. PETER DOOCY HAS THE LATEST. >> GOOD MORNING. THE PRESIDENT’S AGE WILL BE A
FOCUS, TOO. THE CAMPAIGN THINKS THEY CAN COUNTER THOSE CONCERNS ON THE ROPE LINE. >> PRESIDENT BIDEN IS EXTREMELY GOOD AND IS AN EXCELLENT RETAIL POLITICIAN. WE’RE EXCITED TO GET HIM AND THE VICE PRESIDENT OUT TO ALL OUR STATES. IT MAY BE UNDER THE GUISE OF AN
OFFICIAL EVENT GOING AND DOING THINGS AND IMPORTANT THAT HE REMAINS PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES. >> IN A MEMO, THE BIDEN CAMPAIGN MANAGER IS SAYING IN THE FIRST MONTHS OF 2024, WE WILL CONTINUE TO SCALE UP OUR CAMPAIGN INFRASTRUCTURE SO BY EARLY
SUMMER WHEN WE EXPECT VOTERS TO BE THINKING ABOUT THE ELECTION MORE OUR CAMPAIGN IS OPERATING AT FULL STEAM. ON THE ISSUES, BIDEN AND HARRIS PLAN TO WARN VOTERS THEY THINK A SECOND TRUMP TERM COULD BRING AN ABORTION BAN AND COULD MEAN THE END OF DEMOCRACY.
BUT THERE ARE DEMOCRATS COMPETING IN THE PRIMARY RIGHT NOW WHO THINK THE REAL THREAT TO DEMOCRACY IS THE INCUMBENT PUTTING HIS FINGER ON THE SCALE AND REFUSING TO DEBATE. PRESIDENT BIDEN HIMSELF. >> JOE BIDEN IS A GOOD MAN, A MAN I RESPECT.
BUT HE IS GOING TO LOSE TO DONALD TRUMP. THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY SHOULD BE PROMOTING A MULTI-CANDIDATE PRIMARY. WE SHOULD BE ALLOWING ALL OF YOU TO ASSESS DIFFERENT CANDIDATES. THAT’S WHAT WE DO. BUT WE’RE NOT DOING IT. >> BIDEN, OF COURSE, NOT COMPETING IN NEW HAMPSHIRE. HE WANTS HIS 202
MARIA: WELCOME BACK. TIME FOR THE MORNING BUZZ. EVEN MORE BAD NEWS FOR PRESIDENT BIDEN TO TELL YOU ABOUT. THE LATEST POLL REVEALS VICE PRESIDENT KAMALA HARRIS’ APPROVAL RATING IS HIGHER THAN JOE BIDEN’S. SHE’S AT 35%, SLIGHTLY HIGHER THAN PRESIDENT BIDEN’S. WHICH JUST OF COURSE HIT A NEW LOW OF 34%.
THIS IS THE LOWEST IN THE POLL’S TRACKING OF HIS ADMINISTRATION SO FAR. SO THE NUMBERS KEEP GOING LOWER AND TO COMPARE HIM TO KAMALA, SHE’S ACTUALLY HIGHER THAN HE IS, LEE. >> TO BE FAIR, IT’S WITHIN THE MARGIN OF HOUR. THEY COULD BE EQUALLY UNPOPULAR. MAYBE THERE’S A REASON WHY NIKKI
HALEY WALKED AWAY FROM HER RHETORIC WHERE SHE WAS SAYING A VOTE FOR JOE BIDEN IS REALLY A VOTE FOR KAMALA HARRIS BECAUSE THEY KNOW SHE’S MORE POPULAR AT THIS POINT BUT IT’S REALLY — JUST THINK ABOUT THAT NUMBER. ONE IN THREE AMERICANS, ONLY ONE IN THREE AMERICANS APPROVE OF
HIS PRESIDENT AND THIS VICE PRESIDENT. THAT’S TWO IN THREE AMERICANS WHO DISAPPROVE. AND WHAT’S ALSO STAGGERING IS WHEN YOU LOOK AT THE NUMBERS, DISAPPROVAL AMONG HIS OWN PARTY, THAT DOESN’T USUALLY HAPPEN. YOU REMEMBER WHEN DONALD TRUMP WAS IN OFFICE HE WAS ALWAYS ABOVE 90% APPROVAL RATING AMONG REPUBLICANS, 60% APPROVAL RATING AMONG DEMOCRATS.
THIS IS REALLY, REALLY BAD NEWS FOR BOTH OF THEM. MARIA: AND TO SEE THAT IT’S THE DEMOCRATS WHO ARE UNCOMFORTABLE WITH HIM IN THE LEAD, DO YOU SEE AN ALTERNATIVE? ARE THEY GOING TO SWAP HIM OUT WITH SOMEBODY ELSE AND HOW ARE THEY GOING TO CONVINCE KAMALA HARRIS TO STEP ASIDE?
>> I THINK IT’S REALLY, REALLY JUST — I MEAN, I DON’T KNOW HOW THEY DO IT AT THIS POINT, WITH ALL A OF THE RULES AND WHEN YOU HAVE TO BE ON THE BALLOT, ET CETERA, I THINK IT WOULD BE A BIG ISSUE. UNLESS THEY WERE GOING TO DO
SOMETHING AT THE CONVENTION OR IF HE WERE TO STEP ASIDE BUT I DON’T KNOW HOW HE STEPS ASIDE AND NOT HAVE IT BE KAMALA HARRIS WITHOUT THERE BEING SOME KIND OF A MAJOR, MAJOR SORT OF PUSHBACK FROM THE PARTY BECAUSE SHE IS THE FIRST FEMALE, SHE’S THE
FIRST — SHE WOULD BE THE FIRST FEMALE, BE THE FIRST BLACK CORKS THERE’S ALL KINDS OF ISSUES THAT THEY WOULD HAVE TO ADDRESS BECAUSE WHAT ARE THEY GOING TO , PUT GAVIN NEWSOM IN THERE, I THINK THAT WOULD CAUSE A WHOLE LOT OF PROBLEMS. UNLESS THEY BROKERED A DEAL
SAYING YOU ARE GOING TO WALK AWAY AND GET THIS FOR IT. IF YOU THINK ABOUT WHAT HAPPENED IN THE PRIMARY IN 2020, IT WAS JOE BIDEN WAS LOSING, LOSING, LOSING, GETS TO SOUTH CAROLINA, WINS AND YOU ALL OF A SUDDEN EVERYBODY RESIGNS AND BACKS BEHIND HIM SO STRANGER THINGS HAVE HAPPENED A.
