welcome back to the weekend . with early voting starting in just 29 days, can you believe that, 29 days? democrats are hoping to keep their recent surge in momentum going on this week's national convention with help from some of their party's biggest political starts. president biden will deliver the opening night keynote on the first night. on tuesday, a speech from former president barack obama. governor tim walz will take the stage wednesday night. thursdays marquee event, vice president kamala harris will

formally accept the democratic nomination. new this morning, this year's hosts, illinois governor j. b. pritzker and chicago mayor brandon johnson will also speak, welcoming democrats to their neck of the woods. the dnc also announced the themes on each of these nights, centered around "for the people, for our future." joining us now, dnc chair, jamie harrison, who is looking calm, cool, collected. >> and up early because he is in chicago. thank you, chairman harrison for joining us this morning. four people who maybe have never been to a convention before or don't understand the party process of it all, can you just talk about the role that you play in conjunction with chair of the convention and what is going to happen on monday specifically? >> thank you and good morning to all of you. the convention is an entity of

the national party. the rnc held their convention in milwaukee and we are holding our convention in chicago. we work very closely with our convention team to work on the programming, to work on all of the accommodations that are necessary, from the housing to the facilities there, working with secret service and the local police on all the security. it really is a multifaceted, there are so many aspects to putting on a convention, particularly a convention this size. we expect 50,000 people. i think, michael, tell me if i'm wrong, i think our footprint is a little larger than the republican convention because we have more delegates as well. because we have so many other entities, labor, and the various coalitions that make up the democratic party, it's a lot of moving parts.

i can tell you chicago, the state of illinois, they have rolled out the red carpet. the way that they pitched, they have been that way every single day. they have done nothing but the absolute best to make sure this convention is the best convention democrats have ever had. >> we talked about enthusiasm, some of the enthusiasm we are seeing coming out. let's pull up his neighbors from "the new york times". arizona u.s. senate, ruben gallego leading 51-42. in nevada, rosen leading brown. north carolina, josh stein leading 49% over mark robinson, 39%. when you talk about harris and trump, harris is leading in arizona 50-45, that is within the margin of error. i wonder, the map has expanded. i don't need to tell you that. at some point, there has to be

a strategic decision about what the most likely path to victory is. i wonder if you see that beginning the crystallize and were you want to invest your resources. >> you know, the big thing for us is we have always been focused on a 50 state strategy. understanding that, yes, there are some primary battleground states for the presidential election, yes, there will be some interesting states we have a focus on for the u.s. senate. house, we have some races in some of the nonpresidential battleground states. and then gubernatorial elections. sometimes on listings stack up and they are all in one state and sometimes they are not. so, our approach at the dnc for the last three and half years, thanks to joe biden and kamala harris and the investments they have made our party is to make sure we are investing significant resources across the board in all states so that as we get to election day and we see there's a race that is popping up that wasn't on anybody's radar, we do have some resources, we do have infrastructure to be able to

compete and eventually when in those particular races. we will be focused a lot on the presidential battleground. that is the root of the dnc primarily takes. our sister minis, the governors, they are all looking at other ways that they can add to their rosters and we will be there to backstop and support tremendous efforts. every state, we are going to compete. there are democrats all over the country, in all 50 states. democrats who live abroad, for the first time i am putting half $1 million into our dems abroad because there are millions of americans that live abroad but vote in many of these battleground states, that vote in many of these targeted house and senate races. we want to make sure that we are talking with them and communicating with them about the importance of getting a pallet in and getting it in on time so we can win these very, very close races. >> first, chairman, i applaud

you on the last point you made. i've been working with ex-pats and our servicemen and women are proud for well over 10 years now. they are the forgotten voters. when i was at the rnc, we paid particular attention to them and i do a lot of work now as the chair of the u.s. overseas vote foundation for that very purpose, making sure our citizens abroad have access to the ballot box and states need to stop monkeying around and help the chairman out and support the effort for our overseas patriots to vote. that said, i want to, all of this planning and work you are doing and efforts you are making, chairman, you need to stop this. you are making donald trump mike universe. you are making republicans a little bit scared. this reporting that trump's inability to stay on message is

grading on some of his republican allies on capitol hill. just now, that is just happening now? worried the 2024 election is slipping away from their party, republican lawmakers fear and unfocused campaign could doom their chances of winning control of congress. at the core of this concern is the effort democrats have stepped into. i will be straight up frank, this is not been the playbook in the past. but, under your leadership, sir, you have managed to focus like a laser on the ballot ground congressional districts, on the battleground states. talk a little bit about that strategy and how it came together, even before this momentum with kamala harris. this work had begun. i know republicans were concerned about it a year ago, not just in this current time and framing.

>> michael, a lot of people ask what are you guys doing at the dnc? for three and half years, we have been focused on pouring resources into all of our states. a lot of people look at howard dean's 50 state strategy as the golden age for the dnc in terms of investing in state parties. in our midterms, we put 40% more and state parties. we created a red state fund. so, we have been focused on that. that is thanks to joe biden and kamala harris in helping us garner the resources to do just that. on top of that, there has been unprecedented collaboration between the dccc , dsc . we were all on your show weeks ago. we all, the three of us stay in close collaboration to look at polling we are doing , to look

at where we are seeing traction, red alerts on issues that we need to be cognizant of. our staff's also worked very closely together. i don't think that has happened historically in the past and democratic ecosystem. so, we are all aligned, we are all on one page. we are information. we are focused a laser on not just winning the white house back but making sure that the house, the senate. we pick up a gubernatorial elections, that we flip some statehouse seats. that is all in alignment. again, we will be focused on that from now and election day, as we have been focused on it for the last three and half years. >> jamie harrison, thank you so much for your time, sir. when you come back, i want to talk to you about rep senate of masons comments about boys, if you will, sir. >> we need to do that.

>> and her response to african- american men she was having a conversation with. simona, unfortunately, has to leave us for now to join meet the press. stick around. next, senator elizabeth warren talks about the sharp contrast between vice president harris and donald trump's economic plans. this is the weekend. weekend. prilosec otc. one pill. 24 hours. zero heartburn. whoa! how'd you get your teeth so white? you gotta use the right toothpaste! dr. c?! ♪♪ not all toothpastes whiten the same. crest 3d white removes 100% more stains for a noticeably whiter smile. new personal best. crest.

over the past week, both vice president harris and donald trump have embraced expansions of government power to drive their economic policies. but, they are doing so in what i will call vastly different areas with vastly different levels of detail. >> i will be laser focused on creating opportunities for the middle-class. >> they say it is the most

important subject. i'm not sure it is. >> as president, i will take on the issue of the cost of health care. >> it is a communist system. you will be thrown into a system where everybody gets health care. >> as president, i will take on the high costs that matter most to most americans, like the cost of food. >> school lunches up 65%. how can a family afford that? look at this, what a nice job. i think i'm going to take some of them back to my cottage. joining us now, massachusetts senator elizabeth warren. she is a member on the committee on finance and the committee on banking, housing, and urban affairs. senator, good to see you. >> it is great to have you back at the table. let's deal with a little bit of the crazy that we see coming out of the republican side on the economic messaging here. we get the whole photo practicing with packages of

food that donald trump would have no idea what the cost because he does not shop for food. what i found interesting relative to the set up with the contrast once the dismissive nature of the economic piece not being important. talk, if you will, about why this is a specific area for the vice president to lean into this economic message. i want to call your attention to a tweet that you had posted on thursday back in 2020, kamala harris and i teamed up on a senate bill to crack down on price gouges in the pandemic. she has always fought to protect families. that aspect of that economic message is a very potent one right now. why is that and why this particular narrative around

prices? >> understand this, families across this country struggle with prices. kamala harris fights for those families. start with price gouging. right now, what has happened with some of these giant corporations that have market dominance have used the excuse of inflation as a way to raise their prices not just to pass along an increased in costs but actually to boost their profits enormously. the biggest egg producer in the united states increased their profit margin by 718% by raising the price of eggs beyond anything anybody expected. same kind of thing in think of craft, the company that makes macaroni and cheese, those little boxes of macaroni and

cheese and oscar meyer, increased their profits by 448%. that is not just passing along increases in cost, that is price gouging. now donald trump says he doesn't know, doesn't care, let giant corporations charge whatever they want to charge you. vice president harris says no, we need some rules. back when she was attorney general in california, she went after them price gougers following big wildfires in california. in 2020 during the pandemic she said we've got to put some rules in place around price gouging. now she's stating as presidential candidate, this is one of the things that she can do to bring down costs for families. right there in your grocery cart, she can bring those costs down and she wants to do it with a price gouging bill,

something, by the way, both red states and blue states have the power to do. nearly 40 states already have price gouging rules, laws. they have been used in florida and texas after big hurricanes. vice president harris says, as president, i want to see that go nationwide where we can go after these big national companies and i want to give every attorney general in every state of the power to bring these actions along with the ftc, the federal government, to be able to act on behalf of american families. she will lower costs for your family. that is what she is fighting for. >> senator, there is almost no one is good at explaining these concepts as you. the only person comes close runs the consumer financial protection bureau. he was on with us yesterday. >> i think we have to be clear

with each other, i don't care if it is a hurricane or a pandemic, that should not be an excuse to jack up prices. that is what we have seen since 2020, 2021. we even have grocery ceos, one ceo of kroger siding they are making more money, more profit when there is some inflation. they can use it as an excuse to hike up prices, and often they want to consolidate more and more power to do that. >> let's talk about inflation as an excuse. that is a big word we keep hearing from voters, that inflation remains too high or a top concern. part of what the campaign is trying to do here is say it may be inflation that they are concerned with but what if what you are concerned with is high prices, you need to look at more holistically. vice president harris has set in order for her proposals to work it's going to have to go through congress. can you help us understand specifically what your bill

would do to help control prices? >> sure. so, let's remember, we started down this path during the pandemic at a time when there was supply-chain kinks, when the war in ukraine started. certain commodities couldn't be purchased in the united states. when covid-19 meant deliveries weren't being made so prices begin to go up and that is when we first started talking about inflation, start to see the patterns, what happened is there were giant companies that said this is a real opportunity. we not only will pass along increased costs, we will jerk our prices up way beyond that and we will make more money. understand them i'm not sitting out here and conspiracy theory, these ceos went on their quarterly earnings calls to their investors and basically said the same thing. they said, some of them said

inflation has been very, very good to us because it gave us a chance to raise our prices well beyond inflation. so, we put together a bill that said, no. you don't get a chance to do that. when you have moved in and raised her prices extraordinarily because you've got some kind of market power, you are the only one in this area, you have dominance in this area, or because there has been an emergency, wildfires, hurricanes, pandemics, then the tools are there for the federal government or your local state government to move in and say to these companies you cannot do that. you are going to have to give this money back. you cannot do this with families. the importance of that, i can't emphasize this enough, is the federal government chooses sides. to be on the side of the giant corporations that are boosting

their profits by 718%? or, is it going to be on the side of the consumer? there are going to be some rules in place so that your prices come down. >> senator, help me understand a little bit better, how do you do that? what specific rule are you going to tell a company to give that money back and how do you determine what portion of that profit is, in fact, gouged out of the consumer? as an addendum, why don't we do the same thing with academia, with university price increases in inflationary times? i don't see the same level of targeting. you see this throughout our economy. how do you pick and choose which one you are going to go after? >> let's start with how you decide who you are going after. the real issue here is gouging comes from the ability to

exploit. it is exploit market dominance, you are the giant in the field, you control 80% of the market. it is no surprise that it wasn't some little tiny egg producer that increased its profits by 718%. no, it was the guest egg producer in the entire country, the one that doesn't face the kind of ordinary competition that you like to think about in markets. people have choices, people would not choose the more expensive eggs if lots of other eggs were available. so, that is part of it. part of it can be that the reason prices are up is because you are in a hurricane, because you are in a wildfire, because you are in the middle of the pandemic where we see enormous constraints so you have immediate power in your region that you are serving. all we are doing is giving the

ordinary tools that the states mallik said, nearly 40 states already do this. we want to give that same tool to the federal government so the ftc can do it. and in the same way that the ftc looks at the basic data, the numbers, and says wow, you have market dominance, we are going to look at your trade practices here. we will look at your purchasing practices under the robinson patman, are you charging more to little companies then you charge big companies? we go after unfair practices there. the same kind of thing is possible on price gouging. it has been done for decades now. now it is time to use that tool nationwide against nationwide companies. >> senator, i appreciate that. thank you very much for sharing how that will work. thank you for being with us.

the dodge hornet r/t. the totally torqued-out crossover. donald trump has praised elon musk this past week for firing employees at twitter wanted to go on strike and then he defended his comments after coming under fire. in response, the united auto workers union filed federal labor charges against elon musk and trump for what they say are illegal attempts to threaten and intimidate workers. joining us now is the president of the service employees international union, april verrett. good to have you here. >> good morning. thanks for having me, it is an honor to be here. >> april, the harris campaign has weight in on this trump-

musk union controversy. "if he takes power, trump will cost jobs, raise taxes on the middle class and sent factories overseas. vice president harris is proud to stand with men and women in labor and is fighting to build up the middle class with lower costs and more opportunity." what is your take away from this back and forth? >> i stand, you know, with the millions of working people in this country that are going to show up in november" for the candidates who stand up for working people. it is clear that there is a huge difference between what donald trump has done as president as it relates to unions and working people and what vice president kamala harris has done across her career and will do when we elect her to be president. you have a candidate who actually has threatened to fire striking workers and you have a candidate who walked picket

lines with striking workers. you have a candidate who was born with a golden toilet and spews crap all day and you have a candidate who has actually walked a day in the shoes of a home care worker and of a security officer, and was once herself a worker at mcdonald's. i don't think that it is hard to know which candidate is going to stand up and fight for working people, like she has done her entire career, and one stand on the side of nue to corporations that price gouge, as you all were just talking about, and strip away the rights of workers. we've got work to do to make sure the american public knows that and understand that and our votes will be our demands, november. >> april, it has been quite a turnaround for unions in this country. when you consider its recent past and the sort of hesitation or questions that a lot of americans may have had about unions. would you say one of the

triggering moments was when joe biden decided to walk the picket line to level up and emphasize the value of unions to the economy? not just the economy but to communities in terms of how they are comprised of families and people who are living their lives out every day. i take note of the fact that the harris campaign weighing in on this trump unionbusting controversy notes, "if he takes power, trump will cost jobs, raise taxes on the middle class and sent factories overseas. vice president harris is proud to stand with men and women in labor and is fighting to build up the middle class." i emphasized that part myself, "with lower costs and more opportunity. that narrative seems to have struck a chord and all began with the president decided to walk a picket line. what say you? >> i think it is great and we applaud president biden for

walking that picket line. i think the work started a long time before he joined those workers in michigan. the reality is that labor in this country has been under attack for 40 years. that is how we got to this place. what we have seen since the pandemic ended, workers standing up. we touted service and care workers like those in my union as essential all through the pandemic only to not continue to support them once the pandemic was over. we saw two years ago workers being fed up and say then i'm going to take my life into my own hands. i want agency, i want to power. i want to exercise my power. i want a voice at work. we see the favorability of unions at all-time historic highs, like we haven't seen in a generation. as many as 7 in 10 workers saying i want to be

in a union. 8 in 10 young people saying i want to be in a union. the president walking a picket line or the strike line was an important moment but it was because of the work that has been done by workers standing up studying enough is enough. this is our country to and we want a shot at the american dream. >> i want you to take a listen to what vice president harris said about americans having the right to join a union. >> we should be able to join a union if you choose. building up the middle class will be a defining goal of my presidency because i strongly believe when the middle class is a strong, america is a strong. >> given the history that you reference, april, i wonder why that remains a controversial and necessary statement. >> because the right has done a really good job of convincing the american people that unions are evil. it is because they want to

maintain all of the power, all of the control, the ability to price gouge, the ability to not have workers have a voice. workers have said enough is enough. not only are we going to rebuild and strengthen the middle class with our new president come november, we are going to end poverty wage work in this country for once and for all. >> april verrett, thank you for being with us . i hope we see you again before this campaign comes to a close. next, illinois governor j. b. pritzker is with us at the dnc convention previewing the week ahead. you are watching the weekend. chase. make more of what's yours. believe it or not baby... chase. you could earn your... master's... for under 11 thousand! master's degree for under 11k in less than a year.

new this hour, the chicago sun-times reporting former first lady michelle obama will speak at the democratic national convention. also this morning, we learned the chicago mayor, brandon johnson, illinois governor j. b. pritzker will address the convention as part of the home state delegation. governor j. b. pritzker joins us now live from the convention. good morning, sir. >> good morning, great to see you. >> at morning, governor. are you ready to party, my friend? the headlines are screaming the governor is ready to party at the convention in illinois. you've done a tremendous job

getting all of this in place, working with the mayor, working with officials around the country to coordinate this. now the news this morning that the former first lady, michelle obama, will be speaking on tuesday night. this is quite a gathering of democrats particularly given the mood just six weeks ago within the party and the frustrations around joe biden's age and all of that. now you find yourself with the convention i am betting, governor, you are getting a lot more requests for access and credentials then you have ability to give. how do you feel going into tomorrow? the culmination of the work that the good people in your estate put into this effort, working with the dnc. i know how that is and are planning back in 2010 for the 2012 convention. how do you feel right now and what is your assessment of this week for democrats going into this convention? >> michael, i ready to get this

party started. we have been working on this for a year and a quarter. we won the convention back in april of 2023. a lot of work went into it. we knew this was the best place for a democratic convention in 2024. we just had to show it to everybody. we competed against great cities, atlanta, houston, new york. in the end, chicago was chosen for a variety of reasons. one is what we are showing off right now, which is great with her in the summer, great summers in chicago. there's no better city to be in for a summer. that is part of it. the other is we have demonstrated in the state of illinois democratic values. we have passed all kinds of laws to protect women's right to choose, to protect workers rights and voting rights and civil rights. everywhere you stand at the united center, you can look 360 degrees and see evidence of the agenda of the democratic party

standing up for working families, building infrastructure, and, again, protecting the freedoms people expect us to. >> you have a lot more energy then all of my friends like how am i supposed to stay up until 1:00 in the morning for these parties. i salute you. i think chicago is interesting given the renewed focus on the midwest, given the fact we have watched republicans vilify american cities for the past eight years or so. it feels like a real opportunity to set the record straight. i also think there is a challenge for democrats in this convention and that is the push and pull between wanting to harness all of this natural enthusiasm and also reminding folks this campaign, vice president harris, they remain the underdogs in this race. how do you balance those two needs? >> you are right, we are the underdogs. there's no doubt the enthusiasm and the momentum is with kamala harris and tim walz and we are

excited about that. you will see that for the next four days. we've got 79 days left to prosecute this campaign. prosecute is the right term. the folks on the other side, donald trump and j.d. vance, they need prosecuting. you've seen donald trump, 34 time convicted felon. and j.d. vance, who is just his mini me and they are attacking women's rights and workers rights, all the things we stand up for. the american working class, the american middle class needs a party that is going to fight for them and not for elon musk and the wealthiest people in the united states. i am very proud of what we stand for. we will have to make sure we are getting that sits out. should also remind you that donald trump went to milwaukee for his convention and called the city horrible. that is just who donald trump is. he attacks cities across the midwest that he needs to win. we democrats are standing up for the people that live in

those cities and the rural areas of wisconsin, michigan, minnesota and all across the center of the country. very excited to get the message across to people and i think we will win the entire midwest. illinois, of course, the center of the blue wall and we will hold that line. >> governor, just to have some fun with politics on this sunday morning, it is no secret that you were very much biden's man. you and the president had a very long-standing relationship. usa today had talks about that you were biden's man in the midwest. i guess the question is after all of the wrangling for the vice presidential slot and the back and forth there, how do you stand with this vice president and her taking on and becoming the nominee of the democratic party for the presidency? now you are in a different

place from where you began, the players have changed, the chairs have been moved around a bit. are you still that man in the midwest? >> first of all, i am proud if people want to call me biden's man. i am proud of that because i am proud of the work joe biden has done as president, one of our great president who has accomplished so much in 3 1/2 years, more than most president's get done in eight years and did it in a bipartisan fashion. that is something here in illinois we have tried to do. i am also good friends with kamala harris and tim walz, fellow midwestern governor. he and i have worked together for a number of years. i supported him in his election the first time and the second time in his election and winning his legislature. i've tried to support our midwestern governors and legislators to make sure we got democrats in control so we can fight for the working class. i'm proud.

yes, did the party get thrown into a little disarray for a couple of weeks? yes but it is good. is good and i'm said embrace the chaos. look what has happened as a result of that. we have kamala harris, it is the most exciting campaign since 2008. when i think about my entire lifetime, this is the energy, the electricity we've got here in chicago, together to support these two to get them elected in 79 days is unprecedented. >> when i look at that list of convention speakers, which is continuing to grow, nbc news has confirmed michelle obama will be speaking at the convention, you see sort of monitors the traditions of the democratic party, and a monitors to the work the biden administration did. you also seem over the course of the days, a turning of the page. there is a mantle of leadership that is going to be handed over to vice president harris and i wonder how you managed to maintain both, say this administration accomplished a litany of things that are being felt by the american people.

at the same time, there is the possibility of harris connecting something that is bigger than herself. >> kamala harris is fantastic and she is a shift in generation. we are talking about a new generation taking over the democratic 30. also showing how much we revere the generation that got us here. i think it provides us with a new kind of contrast with donald trump, who, whatever it is, i'm not sure if it is h or something else about him, there is something wrong with the man. we see him out there attacking people right and left, he says he's better looking than kamala harris, as if that is something the american people are going to vote about. i don't understand what the strategy is. here's what i know about democrats. we are going to get out here and show this is a party fighting for the american people. there is a lot of joy and kindness about how we think and

democrats. kamala harris is tough, she is a strong and she will lead this country in a way that will make us all proud. i also want to say that what we most of all want is for people to get ahead. making sure people can save for retirement, send their kids to a good college, make sure they can get a good job and those are all things kamala harris has fought for and will be a great president fighting for. >> governor j. b. pritzker, thank you for making the time to be with us. special coverage of the dnc begins tomorrow, 6:00 p.m. eastern. ari melber kicks things off with joy reed from chicago. at 8 p.m. eastern, they will join rachel maddow and the team to break down day one of the dnc. we are back with more of the weekend, right after this. fter. , and lower back pain, we wondered, could these be warning signs of something bigger? thank goodness we called his cardiologist because these were signs of attr-cm, a rare and serious disease...
