JESSE WATTERS (CO-HOST): Now as far as, "Who is Kamala?" Most of us wouldn't have gone in there and gone, "Hmm, who is Kamala Harris? Is she Indian? Well, she's Jamaican, too." Not something I would have done, but he went in there and he peeled back the curtain. And a lot of times I think early in her career she identified as South Asian. That might have been effective in California. Now she is considered an African American woman. You don't hear about that. She's not African American, technically, because she has a Jamaican dad. I don't really distinguish about that stuff. Maybe other people do distinguish about that stuff. Barack Obama was mixed race. He identified as Black.
