HARRIS MAKING GAINS IN NORTH CAROLINA AND PENNSYLVANIA BUT EVERYTHING IS STILL WITHIN THE MARGIN OF ERROR. HER LEAD IN WISCONSIN APPEARS TO BE AN OUTLIER, ALL OF THE SETTING THE STAGE FOR THE NEXT BIG MOMENT, THE NEXT PRESIDENTIAL DEBATE 11 DAYS AWAY. WE BEGIN WITH SENIOR WHITE HOUSE CORRESPONDENT GABE GUTIERREZ, DASH BURNS , GATE, WE WILL START WITH YOU. SHE DIDN'T SEEM TO DO HERSELF ANY HARM BUT THERE ARE SOME BIG QUESTIONS ABOUT HER RECORD? >> LOOK, THAT'S WHAT THE TRUMP CAMPAIGN IS TRYING TO FOCUS ON, THE QUESTIONS THAT REMAIN ABOUT WHY VICE PRESIDENT HARRIS HAS CHANGED HER POSITION ON SEVERAL THINGS INCLUDING FRACKING, INCLUDING IMMIGRATION OVER THE LAST SEVERAL YEARS. SINCE SHE RAN FOR PRESIDENT IN 2019, RAISING HER HAND DURING ONE OF THOSE PRIMARY DEBATES, WHEN SHE WAS ASKED IF SHE THOUGHT THE BORDER SHOULD BE DECRIMINALIZED, NOW AND HER ANSWER DURING YESTERDAY'S INTERVIEW SAYING THAT THERE NEEDED TO BE CONSEQUENCES FOR ILLEGALLY CROSSING THE BORDER. SO, THAT IS ONE OF THE REMAINING QUESTIONS BUT YOU LAID OUT SOME OF THE INTERVIEW, AND THE HARRIS CAMPAIGN SAID, THAT IT WENT EXTREMELY WELL, IN THEIR VIEW, THAT SHE DID WHAT SHE NEEDED TO DO AND SHE ANSWER THE TOUGH QUESTIONS ABOUT HER RECORD AND ALSO ONE OTHER POINT, RYAN, SHE WAS ASKED ABOUT THAT THAT ISN'T GETTING TOO MUCH ATTENTION BUT IT SHOWED ANOTHER SIDE OF HER, DURING THE DNC ACCEPTANCE SPEECH, YOU ARE NUMBER THAT SHE AVOIDED TALKING ABOUT THE HISTORICAL NATURE OF HER CANDIDACY BUT THERE WAS THAT EMOTIONAL MOMENT WITH HER GREAT NIECES, THAT WERE THERE, PRESENT AT THE CONVENTION AND OF COURSE THAT ICONIC PHOTO OF ONE OF THEM, YOU SEE HER RIGHT THERE, LOOKING UP AT THE VICE PRESIDENT AS SHE WAS DELIVERING THAT SPEECH, HARRIS WAS ASKED ABOUT THAT DURING THIS INTERVIEW YESTERDAY. TAKE A LISTEN TO WHAT SHE SAID. >> IT'S THE BACK OF HER HEAD AND THE TWO LITTLE BRAIDS, AND THEN I'M IN THE FRONT, OBVIOUSLY SPEAKING, AND IT'S VERY HUMBLING. IT'S VERY HUMBLING IN MANY WAYS . >> SO BRIAN, DURING THE INTERVIEW SHE WAS ALSO ASKED AND SAYS SO PUBLICLY FOR THE FIRST TIME, HER REACTION WHEN PRESIDENT BIDEN ACTUALLY CALLED HER AND TOLD THE VICE PRESIDENT THAT HE WAS DROPPING OUT OF THE RACE. SHE SAID THAT SHE JUST FINISHED HAVING BREAKFAST WITH HER FAMILY AND SHE WAS SITTING DOWN, GETTING READY TO PLAY A PUZZLE WITH HER FAMILY MEMBERS, WHEN SHE GOT THAT CALL AND HER FIRST REACTION WAS TO TELL PRESIDENT BIDEN, ARE YOU SURE, RYAN? >> DASH LET'S GO TO THE EXCLUSIVE PULL ASIDE THAT YOU HAD WITH TRUMP. HE DID MAKE NEWS, SPARKING SOME BACKLASH FROM PARTS OF THE BASE, WHAT CAN YOU TELL US ABOUT THAT? >> HE MADE A NUMBER OF HEADLINES ON REPRODUCTIVE RIGHTS WHICH WAS AN ISSUE THAT HE'S LONG BEEN SAYING IS A PROBLEM FOR REPUBLICANS, TAKE A LISTEN AND WE WILL TALK ON THE OTHER SIDE. >> UNDER THE TRUMP ADMINISTRATION, WE ARE GOING TO BE PAYING FOR THAT TREATMENT, SO WE ARE PAYING FOR THAT TREATMENT. ALL AMERICANS THAT NEED IT, SO WE WILL BE PAYING FOR THE TREATMENT OR WE ARE GOING TO BE MANDATING THAT THE INSURANCE COMPANY PAY. >> IN FLORIDA, THE STATE YOU ARE A RESIDENT OF, THERE'S AN ABORTION RELATED AMENDMENT TO OVERTURN THE SIX-WEEK DAN, HOW ARE YOU GOING TO VOTE ON THAT? >> I THINK THE SIX WEEK IS TOO SHORT. THERE HAS TO BE MORE TIME, AND I TOLD THEM, I WANT MORE WEEKS. >> YOU WILL VOTE IN FAVOR OF THE AMENDMENT? >> I'M GOING TO BE VOTING THAT WE NEED MORE THAN SIX WEEKS. >> RYAN, SAYING THERE THAT THE TRUMP ADMINISTRATION A SECOND TERM WOULD COVER ALL AMERICANS WHO WANT IVF TREATMENT, IT'S A PRICEY PROPOSAL, TYPICAL IVF CYCLE COSTS ABOUT $20,000 BUT THIS COMES IN THE CONTEXT OF A GENDER GAP THAT WE'VE SEEN IN THE POLLS, VICE PRESIDENT HARRIS LEADING SIGNIFICANTLY AMONG FEMALE VOTERS AND AND THE SECOND PART OF THAT ANSWER, ON THE ABORTION BALLOT INITIATIVE IN FLORIDA, SPARKING BACKLASH FROM SOME PARTS OF HIS BASE, THAT ARE CONCERNED THAT HE IS GOING TO FAR TO THE LEFT ON THE ABORTION ISSUE. SO, IT'S A TOUGH LINE TO WALK FOR THE FORMER PRESIDENT AND AN ISSUE WHERE HE REALLY HAS BEEN TRYING TO PUSH THE REPUBLICAN PARTY IN A DIFFERENT DIRECTION. SOME PARTS OF THE BASE, THEY DON'T WANT TO GO THERE. >> DEFINITELY THE SECOND PART, THE QUESTIONING TO HIM, CAUSING A LOT OF CONCERN AMONG THE MOST CONSERVATIVE PARTS OF THE REPUBLICAN BASE. ASHLEY, NOW REPRODUCTIVE RIGHTS, ABSOLUTELY GOING TO BE AN ISSUE WHEN HARRIS AND TRUMP DEBATE FOR THE FIRST TIME ON SEPTEMBER 10th. THE HARRIS TEAM SAYS THAT THEY ARE STILL PUSHING TO HAVE HOT MIKE THROUGHOUT THE ENTIRE DEBATE. HARRIS'S PLAN FOR THE DEBATE IS TO KEEP CALM BUT GET UNDER TRUMP'S SKIN, WHAT MORE DO WE KNOW ABOUT THAT PART OF THEIR PLANS? >> ONE THING THAT IS A LITTLE IRONIC OF COURSE, IS THAT THE HARRIS CAMPAIGN AND THE TRUMP CAMPAIGNS ARE NOW TAKING OPPOSITE SIDES OF THE HOT MIC ISSUE . BUT THE VIEW WITHIN THE HARRIS CAMP, WHICH MAY PROVE TO BE CORRECT IS SOMETHING LIKE HOT MIC'S WOULD BENEFIT HER BECAUSE IT WOULD REMIND VOTERS ONE OF THE THINGS THEY DON'T LIKE ABOUT TRUMP, WHICH IS THAT HE CAN COME ACROSS ESPECIALLY WHEN FACED WITH A WOMAN AND A WOMAN OF COLOR, AS BULLYING, AND AGGRESSIVE, AND SOMETIMES RAMBLING AND UNHINGED AND CHAOTIC, AND THAT IS SOMETHING THAT YOU SEE IN A HOT MIC'S WHERE AS A MUTED MIC SOMETIMES CAN PROTECT TRUMP FROM HIS OWN WORST INSTINCTS. SO THAT'S WHAT THE HARRIS TEAM WANTS, THEY SAY THERE ARE STILL NEGOTIATIONS ONGOING AND THEY ALSO POINT TO TRUMP'S OWN COMMENTS WHERE HE HAS SAID , I DON'T CARE AND THEY ARE TRYING TO CREATE AT LEAST IN THE PUBLIC, THIS APPEARANCE THAT TRUMP IS FINE WITH HOT MIC'S, IT'S HIS OWN ADVISORS WERE TRYING TO OVERRULE HIM, THEY WANT TO PROTECT HIM FROM THEMSELVES. THEY THINK IT'S SOMETHING THAT CAN GET UNDER HIS SKIN AND IT WOULD ULTIMATELY HURT HIM POLITICALLY. >> DOSHA, YOU GOT HIM ON THE RECORD ABOUT MONDAY'S INCIDENT AT ARLINGTON NATIONAL CEMETERY, HE INSISTS THAT THE GOLDSTAR FAMILIES INVITED HIM AND ASKED FOR PHOTOS, LET'S PLAY A PORTION OF THAT. >> IT WOULD BE SO GREAT, CAN WE TAKE A PICTURE I SAID SURE, I'M NOT THINKING ABOUT A CAMPAIGN. I STOOD THERE AND I SAID IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO HAVE A PICTURE, WE CAN HAVE A PICTURE. IT THIS WAS A SET UP BY THE PEOPLE IN THE ADMINISTRATION THAT OH, TRUMP IS COMING TO ARLINGTON, THAT LOOK SO BAD FOR US, YOU KNOW IT LOOKS BAD, THE WAY THEY PULLED OUT OF AFGHANISTAN, THAT'S A DISGRACE. >> DASHA, HE ALSO TRIED TO CLAIM THAT HIS CAMPAIGN HAD NO ROLE IN GETTING THIS OUT ON THE INTERNET EVEN THOUGH IT WAS THEIR TIKTOK THAT AMPLIFIED IT OR THAN ANYONE, TALK TO ME A LITTLE MORE ABOUT WHAT THE TRUMP CAMPAIGN IS SAYING ABOUT THIS INCIDENT? >> YEAH, RYAN, I FOLLOWED UP ON THAT AND I SAID, BUT YOUR CAMPAIGN PUT IT OUT ON THEIR OFFICIAL TIKTOK AND HE CLAIMED TO HAVE NO KNOWLEDGE OF THAT, BUT I THINK ONE OF THE REASONS THIS STORY CONTINUES TO HAVE LEGS IS BECAUSE OF HIS HISTORY OF COMMENTS THAT HAVE BEEN OFFENSIVE TO SOME MILITARY FAMILIES WHETHER IT WAS CALLING SENATOR JOHN McCAIN NOT A WAR HERO, WHETHER IT WAS A RECENT COMMENT ABOUT THE MEDAL OF HONOR VERSUS THE MEDAL OF FREEDOM. THIS IS SOMETHING THAT HE KEEPS STEPPING
