ketanji brown jackson, a symbol for every woman in america that you can do anything. united states. look.

we have many obligations as a nation but i make no apologies for saying this year ago. we have only one true secret obligation and to protect those we send war and care for them and their families when they come home and when they don't. and i am so proud that reagan signed the pact act one of the most significant laws ever helping veterans and their families expose to toxic materials. and i was around during the vietnam war. nobody was ever able to prove illness as a consequence of agent orange and nobody able to

prove initially that because they lived in burn pits like my son lived next to in iraq for a year that that was the cause of their illness but because of that act, the surviving spouse and two children are eligible for a stipend of $3000 a month. and those children who lost a parent with benefits to go to college and get job training. and it has already helped over 1 million veterans and their families so far. and i love them and i am so proud of my sons service. we do get it. but guess who doesn't get it and doesn't respect our veterans? we know from his own chief of staff the four-star general john kelly that when trump went

to europe the brave servicemembers. who in the hell this heat think he is. who does he think is? no words of a president and those are not the words of president. he is not worthy of being the commander of chief. not then, not now, not ever. i mean that from the bottom of my heart. this is no commander in chief that would bow down to a dictator like trump bows down to putin. i never have. i promise you. kamala harris will never do it , will never bow down. when trump left office, europe

and nato was in tatters. not a joke. it changed our whole image in the world. and they gave about 190 hours some total and he and my counterparts and heads of state in europe to strengthen nato. we did. we united europe like it hasn't been united for years adding finland and sweden to nato. 10 days before he died he called and said not since napoleon has europe not looked over the shoulder of russia with dread until now. until now. guess what? putin thought he would take

ukraine in three days and three years later ukraine is still free. and when i came to office, the conventional wisdom was that china would inevitably surpass the united states. they haven't noticed. no one is saying that now. we will keep working to bring hostages home and end the war in gaza and bring peace and security to the middle east. and as you know, i wrote a peace treaty for gaza. a few days to go i put forward a proposal that put us closer

to doing that then we have done since october 7 and we are working around the clock with my secretary of state to get assistance into gaza now. to end the civilian suffering and poverty and finally, finally finally deliver a cease- fire and end this war. and those protesters out in the street have a point. a lot of innocent people are being killed on both sides. and we worked around the clock to bring home wrongfully detained americans from russia

and one of the most complicated swaps in history. but they are home. and kamala and i will keep working d to bring all america wrongfully detained around the world home. i mean it. folks, i have five months left of my presidency. i have a lot to do. i intend to get it done. and it has been the honor of my lifetime to serve as your president. i love the job. but i love my country more. i love my country more. all of this talk about how you and angry at all these people who said i should step down. it isn't true.

i love my country more, and we need to preserve our democracy. in 2024, we need you to vote. we need you to keep the senate. we need you to win back the house of representatives. above all, we need you to be donald trump. and we will elect kamala and tim president and vice

president of the united states of america. they will continue to lead america forward creating more jobs and standing up for workers, growing the economy and lowering the cost for american family so they have a little bit more breathing room. we have made incredible progress. we have more work to do. and kamala and tim will continue to take on corporate greed and bring down cost of food. they will keep taking out big pharma making insulin $35 a month, not just for seniors but everybody in america. and capping prescription drug costs as well. to a total of no more than $2000 and not just for seniors but for everyone. and 3 million new homes providing 25,000 downpayments

for first-time homebuyers. donald trump once this on imported goods, gas, clothing and more and that will cost the american family, $3900 a year in tax. that is a fact. kamala and tim will make the tax credit permanent. and it will lift people out of poverty and help millions of families get ahead. and you know what trump has? he created a law with the 2 trillion -- and put us further in debt.

folks, you know we have 1000 billionaires in america and you know what the average tax rate they pay is? 8.2%. if we just increased taxes we proposed with 25%, in the highest tax rate, it would raise 500 billion new dollars over 10 years. and they would still be very wealthy. look. kamala and tim are going to make them pay their fair share. they will protect that security medicare and trump once to cut it. kamala and tim will protect your freedom , protect your right to vote and protect your

civil rights. you know, trump will do everything to ban knabortion nationwide. you will. kamala and tim will do nd everything they possibly can and we have to restore roe versus wade and character is destiny. character is destiny. for me and jill, we know kamala and doug are people of care . it has been our honor to serve alongside of them. we know that tim and when walls -- walz are people of great character and it was the first

decision i made when i became the nominee and it was the best decision i made my whole career. not only we have gotten to know each other, but we have become close friends. she is tough, experienced, and she has enormous integrity. enormous integrity. her story represents the best american story. and like many of our best presidents, she was also vice president. that is a joke. she will be a president our children can look up to. she will be wia president respected by world leaders because she already is. she will be a president we can all be proud of. she will be a historic

president who puts her stamp on america's future. and this will be the first presidential election since january 6. on that day, we almost lost everything about who we are as a country. and that threat, which isn't hyperbole, that threat is still very much alive. donald trump said he will refuse to accept the election results if he loses again. think about that. he means it. think about that. he is promising a bloodbath if he loses, in his words. that he will be a dictator on day one, in his own words. and by the way this sucker means it. know.

-- no. i am not joking. think about it. if anybody else said that you would think he was crazy. you think it would be an ul exaggeration. what he means it. we can't let that happen. folks, all of us carry special obligations and independence, republicans, democrats, we save democracy in 2020 and we must save it again in 2024. and it will determine whether democracy and freedom will prevail and it is that simple and that serious. the power is literally in your hand. and it isn't hyperbole. it is in your hands. america's future is in your hands. and let me close with this. nowhere else in the world could a kid with a stutter and modest

beginnings in scranton, pennsylvania and delaware grow up to sit behind the desk in the oval office. that is because america is and always has been a nation of possibilities. possibilities. we must never lose that, never. kamala and tim understand that this nation must continue to be a place of possibilities, not just for the few of us, but for all of us. so join me in promising your whole heart to this effort. and where my heart will be. i promise i will be the best volunteer harrison walz has

ever seen. each of us has a part in the american story. for me and my family, there is a song that means a lot to us, and it captures the best of who we are as a nation. the song is called american anthem. there is one verse that stands out. i can't sing worth a so i won't try. the work and prayers of centuries have led us to this day. what should a legacy be? what will her children say? let me know in my heart when my days are through, america, america, i gave my best to you.

i have made a lot of mistakes in my career. but i gave my best to you. for 50 years, like many of you, i gave my heart and soul to our nation. i have been blessed, 1 million times with the return in support of the american people. maybe too young to be in the senate because i wasn't 30 at and tool this day's precedents. but i do hope you know how grateful i am to all of you. i can honestly say, and i am more optimistic about the future than i was when i was

elected as a 29-year-old state senator. i mean it. folks, we just have to remember who we are. we are the united states of america. and there is nothing we can't do when we do it together. god bless you all. and may god protect our troops. ♪ ♪ ♪

♪♪♪

♪♪ >> president joe biden. there was no balloon drop which is the only way you wouldn't know it is an acceptance speech. we saw president biden joined

on stage there by vice president harris and you could see her clearly saying to him, i love you, joe. it was a remarkable speech. the president came on stage without a dry eye in the house including his own and his daughter ashley introducing him. and then just a sustained extended ovation. >> it left me thinking about the lineage of what is now the 21st century democratic party. what we saw tonight began with a decision made by john kerry to choose barack obama as the keynote speaker in 2004 and what turns out to be a losing presidential campaign produces the next democratic nominee, barack obama. that was the first time most of us saw barack obama speak. he wasn't yet the united states

senator as you mentioned and he was in the middle of the campaign. i remember saying on tv, i remember saying we just saw the first black president. and then barack obama chooses joe biden and chooses joe biden because joe biden ran against him and it was important for him to see joe biden at the presidential level of competition in the primaries to say this is who i want in addition to his experience with joe biden in the senate and then joe biden then comes along and get the nomination on a staggered basis in the electoral calendar. he chooses kamala harris. this all begins with that john kerry choice. i interviewed president biden in march of the campaign last time when it was locked up. my question is who will he pick for vice president. that was one of the things we talked about. what i asked him was, strongly suspecting it was kamala

harris, is it important to you that your vice presidential nominee has experience in presidential campaigning. and he said yes, that is a factor and it was a factor for barack obama. so kamala harris knows that she would be the senior senator from new york tonight out there clapping for somebody else. were it not for that decision that joe biden made that was made in the heat and proving grounds of the presidential campaign, but what you see in this discussion we had earlier about the talent we see on this stage and all of these people we saw on the stage, we never saw anyone take a convention stage including tonight and we never saw anyone take a convention stage the way barack obama did in boston in 2004. and so the talent we have seen and will see this week tonight, you have to ask yourself, who is the obama? who is it that we will see?

you can be sure of is that you will see these people and the decisions made just in terms of who speaks that these things defines our politics in ways that are completely surprising and unpredictable. but if you just start with john kerry's decision on barack obama being the keynote speaker to where we are tonight, you see this handoff that john kerry gave to barack obama and barack obama to joe biden and joe biden to kamala harris. you >> you never know. >> the enormity of these decisions of who you are choosing as vice president and we have just seen it become so enormous in the biggest possible way in the choice barack obama made in the choice joe biden made. >> we sought in the way that joe biden credited vice president harris with some

accomplishments of their time governing, talking about her role in the hostage negotiations and it is important stuff that they have shared in governing. >> he said in a tongue and cheek way that some of the presidents started as a vice president and it speaks about their legacy. member that joe biden was a president coming out of the financial crisis and knows he had to take action to solve big problems and he did that when he became president coming out of covid and he has passing the torch but to all the speakers we saw and aoc and here is the next generation of democratic leadership and it was invigorating. >> watching that, there is a lot he accomplished and he went to a lot of that and we will hear more in the next few months. but what struck me is when he talked about how character is destiny and progress is possible. when people remember him, they

will remember that the president did this and that but they will remember his character and who he is as a human being and i think you saw this in the speech how we talked about kamala harris, how we ended the speech and how his family embraced him. that is what really struck me watching that and just being a deeply good human and how connected he was. i thought how hard it must have been for him to do that and how hard was for doctor biden to do and for ashley biden to do. you think about it somebody wrongs somebody you deeply loved and you have to go out in the country and say, it is okay. we are okay. it is for the best and we are standing up for democracy and just the challenge of that really speaks to their character. >> a sacrifice at large for the family. >> it some ways incredible

pathos through the whole thing and we saw sacrifice and a man with a titanic ego, joe biden president of the united states and he ran for senate and was elected and spent 50 years in public life. this is somebody who occupies a room and likes the attention on himself like all of these things and then paired with a deep sense of service and fundamentally contrasted with a person who lives their entire life avoiding ego death in donald trump even if that means bringing down the constitutional republic and here you have somebody whose last major political act is the fact of getting up there disabled for her and thank you, kamala. lbj as you said was salty as all hell and wanted nixon to win . and what you did tonight

was something that doesn't happen in politics. it is an incredible thing to watch it happen in real time and to know he is hitting the marks and doing all of this in service of something higher than himself in service of the country and democratic party, and that is walking the walk like i have rarely seen in my life covering politics. >> let me put a quick note on presidential ego and perspective and having worked with president biden in the senate, i would have ranked his ego in the hundred around 50 of who i worked with and he is below average and actual fact and in the working day and in the way ego intrudes on the working day, which is very important to say how did it work when the doors closed and it is 12 people or six people are more trying to do something important. he was never the problematic ego in the room and there were problematic egos in the room.

>> it is definitely senators, cable news hosts, presidents, and we are all in there and none of it is good but the sacrifice given the ego price of admission. >> let's go to chicago to our friends watching in the room. >> the ego has landed here in chicago and wearing a green shirt. and i can't hear you over the roar of my voice and my own ears. sorry. >> i have to say that the noise when president biden took this to hache, the love in the room, the enthusiasm and the wistfulness and the crowd wanting to demonstrate to this man that he is beloved was not like anything i have ever seen in american politics. to the

rafters, we love you, joe. it was deafening. >> you could feel it. it almost lifted president biden sort of off of the stage. i don't have a comment about the speech but i want to talk about what happened before and after the speech. it is something that is so different than what we saw at the republican national convention and started with ashley biden bringing joe biden to tears. that embrace between the two of them when he looked at her and dabbed his eyes so people were already set up for crying. and then he gives this speech. and then afterwards when you saw the raw affection that family has reach other, the way they genuinely love each other and the way his vice president, kamala harris, who he devoted some of his speech to. this was his night and it was

his moment and this night was dedicated to joe biden and parts of this night including a biographical video were given to kamala harris. this is not the way the hillary convention went where he and bernie sanders wrestled over the nomination until the end and not the way the 88 convention went when jesse jackson challenged dukakis and it was bitter and had to make deals the way the party picked out its delegates in order to appease because they didn't want him on the ballot or ticket. >> or carter kennedy in 80. i don't think as a nerdy kid who has watched conventions said junior high school, i don't think you have ever seen a more seamless, affectionate handoff of power from one person to another, both of whom have the aspiration to be president, and both of whom believe they can occupy that seat and share power in a great way. the affection was palpable. >> the night -- can i say one

thing. i want to say that so much has been said and rightly so about the fact that liberal democracy is under threat. it isn't just democracy being at stake but the way in which the power has been transferred, a person saying it is better if we are not just a party but for the country and he believes for him to step off the ticket. it gives you faith that the american experiment may not be over. >> peaceful transfer of power within the party. there could have literally been a convention fight in this very space. instead, it was the absolute opposite. >> that feels like something pretty remarkable. >> thank you for talking about that moment when he walked out there and we saw his daughter ashley and his wife give the

remarks and his daughter give the remarks and by the time president biden came out, there wasn't a dry eye in the house including his own vice president who was welled up and tim walz was welled up and that sustained emotional unending ovation that said, at first, we love joe, we love joe, and then it transitioned into thank you, joe. it took the roof off to yet another level and he couldn't get anybody to stop saying it. i know that in my 51 years of american life, i don't know of another big civic earnest heartfelt emotional expression of thanks that we congratulate one another and we have parades for heroes and celebrate people's victories. but in celebration of thanks.

we appreciate and love you for your civic virtue and for what you have done for our country. since we have had parades welcoming home people who have fought in the war, and it has been a generation since we have done that, i don't know anything else like that. >> i clocked it at three minutes 58 seconds and i do have it on my phone. numbers are there. it was extremely lengthy. president biden tried to live in it. when hillary clinton was getting the same ovation, she was trying to make it stop. she also got the same kind of love tonight. jesse jackson got a sustained appreciative crowd and these are heroes of democracy and not just of the party. it doesn't feel like a partisan

celebration but a celebration of the country. there was a lot of usa champs -- chanting going on. what you said, rachel. the specific service and they are shepherding the democracy forward and i think it is a powerful thing and biden said he was grateful to the audience but really it was such a palpable moment of public gratitude for somebody who spends his life in politics. it was extraordinary. >> having been there in the room and we are all watching from here and it has been an emotional night altogether at different times. the young congresswoman from texas, jasmine crockett, who is so poised and so funny and so edgy and she said in her speech tonight that she has gone viral very many times for her actions including in committee. but there was actually a poignant moment where i think it was made all the more poignant by her poise and how in control and clever she is

and she talked about her first meeting with vice president harris and the embassy and the kindness that the vice president showed to her. we saw three women from louisiana and texas, three different women tell their personal stories about incredible trial and pain and loss because of the trump abortion ban. and then we saw this lead up into president biden in which the waterworks turned on everywhere. that is how it felt from here and when you are watching the back half of the program tonight to see how things resonated in the room, what stood out to you guys? >> we both googled the whole story, a horrific story that hadley do fall -- duvall.

a woman ordered to give birth to her own step fathers child and i think we were just amazed at how poised and controlled she was. she did it. there was a hush in the room and a sense of awe of her in the room and it brought that issue of forced birth home. >> i think one of the things that struck me, rachel was the republican national convention was homogenous and the vibrancy of this convention both in terms of generation, race, it feels like the speakers are both holding up a mere to the audience and the audience is holding up a mere to the speakers and as you pointed out there is diversity of experience but the audience itself as well so people really feel their struggles are being reflected by the party at large and people who are articulating the party platform as the symbiotic relationship between

the party and the party elders that makes for a real synchronicity especially when the stories are emotional and women see themselves in the stories. men see themselves in these stories. the young and old. it is a powerful relationship between the people on stage and the people in the audience and just for the record, i think tim walz is crying all night and every time i look over he is and it makes sense because it is overwhelming for all of us and i imagine it is for him. >> the thing refreshing is not one negative sign and no sign that this was kind of refreshing and it was all we love joe and it was a love fest here. >> it was all of that. >> there was a lock him up moment during hillary clinton's

speech. and she didn't participate but she kindly looked over and did that. >> we talked about hadley duvall in one of her last lines she said , what is beautiful about a child being told you have to carry her parents child? it was a stunning statement. her bravery. people forget she then introduced governor beshear and it was an advertisement she was in where andy bashir won that race where he beat the mitch mcconnell endorsed opponent and beat him by five percentage points so extraordinary to see this woman share her story and allison's point it affects men and when you hear something

like that, it affects all people. >> to see that woman talking about what she went through as a 12-year-old child and to see her introduce andy bashir who talks about his faith in see raphael warnock talk about his church and then rip the bark off in terms of his speech and to see jamie raskin on the constitutional a front that is trump specifically on january 6 1/2 jasmine crockett and aoc and ashley biden this was -- it didn't feel like the way i thought it was going to feel. i thought it would be a crescendo to the biden speech but it was a very emotional and very effective and affecting presentation for hours. >> and necessary. there are already people complaining that joe biden was

on too late. >> excuse me, 11:00 p.m. is an extraordinary time to be on. >> it wasn't just any program. the people who were speaking had something to say in the democratic party apparatus told the story tonight and was demonstrating the depth and breadth of who they are and what they believe setting the tone for this week, frankly and for the rest of the selection and what they have to do and what is at stake and how far they have come and how they got here and you have to build a story. and then to see joe biden. he has been in public service since he was in his mid-20s. he knows what it is like to be a young person that has something to say and wants to be engaged and involved and feels like the people in power have not passed the baton to the younger generation.

he was 29 years old and elect to the united states senate and his wife and then daughter killed in a car accident and he said he didn't want to serve. it was the senators in the senate at the time that pulled him in, republicans and democrats that made sure he would be okay and told him that you need to be here and we need you. america needs you in the senate needs you. america definitely needed joe biden to go from that 29-year- old young person to this seasoned president who won an election and who got a primary and everybody said he could win and beat donald trump in an election where everybody said they didn't know how he would do it and became president of the united states and cut the bill but people even who work for him say we don't know and

we had to go and do it but he got it done. and then to say and i'm still not managed and joe biden said yes i am and he said you know what i have to do what is best for america and then what everybody else was playing checkers, joe biden was playing chess and set i am passing the baton to my vice president and the president -- person who has been loyal to me and america and the person whom i said is the representative of what the future of this party is and that is joe biden. if he wanted to speak for 25 more minutes, i would have said that. but he deserved this night and so much more. it was the privilege of my life to work for joe biden. and america, that is a great american president. >> i won't top that. much more of our special coverage of night 1 of the dnc

ahead here. this is going to be a week. don't go anywhere. we will be right back. >> what will our children say? let me know in my heart when my days are through, america, america, i gave my best to you. . er's patented filter technology keeps debris out of your gutters for good, guaranteed. call 833 leaffilter or visit leaffilter.com missing out on the things you love because of asthma? get back to better breathing with fasenra, an add-on treatment for eosinophilic asthma that is taken once every 8 weeks. fasenra is not for sudden breathing problems or other eosinophilic conditions. allergic reactions may occur.

good evening, good morning from new york and i am picking up the special coverage of night 1 of the democratic national convention. it has been quite a night in chicago and we will talk about all of it with my amazing panel in a moment but just moments ago as you can see on your screen, the united center a rep in and applause for president biden when he took the stage for his the store much- anticipated address. he warned the country in his remarks about the existential danger the trump term poses toward democracy talking about why he ran in the first place and heralded his vice president is the one who could preserve that. there was no doubt bittersweet for him and also for the many many people in the room who

have worked for him and voted for him many times and people whose babies he has helped or families whose hands he held while they grieved. is in the speech that job biden was planning to give. but in the end, it was the speech he felt he had to give. it says a lot about him. >> nowhere else in the world could a kid with a stutter and modest beginnings in scranton, pennsylvania and delaware grow up to sit behind the presidents desk in the oval office. and that is because america is and always has been a nation of possibilities. possibilities. we must never lose that. never. they understand that this nation must continue to be a

place of possibilities and not just for the few of us but for all of us. so join me and promising your whole heart to this effort. and where my heart will be. i promise i will be the best volunteer that harrison walz of everything. >> joining me here is the cohost from the weekend and always a wallflower and the former chief spokesperson for president harris and somebody who also spent a lot of time working for joe biden in his campaign and of course alecia a mendez. i have been a bit of a puddle for the last hour and a half watching this for a range of reasons and watching them talk about vice president harris and watching him have that interaction with his daughter and even before he spoke and he had the tissues

and, simone you spent time working for his campaign and work for the vice president and what was it like watching this happened the night and you could see on the screen after the president's speech and the first lady and doctor biden came out in vice president harris and the second gentleman came out and vice president said i just love you. i think that moment encapsulated everybody in that arena and so many people across the country felt about joe biden and this was his moment. i do know a lot of people on the internet and some of those in the room were making great qualms about the fact it was late and the democrats were telling a story tonight about america and many pieces that needed to be had. it did i think woven together very well for joe biden who literally gave his entire life

to the service of this country and he lost multiple children throughout the course of his service to the country and during every term and his ego in my opinion never made its way to the stage. it was his want for service. he has fundamentally changed the lives of many many people in this country. and when they write the history of this moment they will say that joe biden was one of the great american presidents. it was amazing to see him get the convention and the moment that he never got when he won the nomination in 2020 because of covid-19. >> you never got the speech of the inauguration and neither do the people who worked for him and worked on his campaign. so many of them i know were in the hall and people flew in from out of town. they were at a party right now

and something that simone said to me was the sacrifice and what i was struck by is how difficult that speech must have been for him to give and how difficult and how critical. >> i think he came in understanding the assignment and understanding it's about him articulating and solidifying his own legacy and talking about it in terms of the origin story of charlottesville wanting to stamp out some of that and some of the infrastructure in talking more recently about lowing the price of drugs but understanding he had to hand the baton up in the fact there was this response of thank you, joe and he would say thank you, kamala . he understood it as the main purpose and we contextualize it is the two of them but only look at the broader picture of the convention, you see it's not just joe biden the kamala harris but barack obama and hillary clinton and joe biden handing the sauce and it was on

full display. >> we will talk about it and show a lot more people as well. what did you inc. of the baton passes we called it? >> i thought it was well done. and this was joe biden's moment. i have to tell you, as a republican, i should be conflicted about how i feel about this moment, you know, because it is joe biden and he is on his way out and look at the democrats did to him. as an american, i was moved i the man who has given, to simone's point, his life as a vocation of service and as a form is -- former seminarian and catholic like joe and i appreciate his contextualization of his time in office as a vocation and his fulfillment and there were elements of calling to it. particularly when you consider how his journey began with the

death of his wife and his children. you got to find or you have to go someplace special to move out of that into the spot. for me, tonight, watching him, and again to her point listening and reading to some folks online, shut the hell up . this is his moment. if he wants to be on stage till midnight, he can because america would have watched him. >> we have to take a break and we will keep talking with a lot more to say after a quick break. grab a snack and come back. comk

i came to bayview hunter's point, where there was only one pediatrician to serve more than 10,000 children. daniel lurie said, i'm going to help. we opened a clinic for our most vulnerable children.

i have worked shoulder to shoulder with him as we have brought solutions where people thought the problem was unsolvable. daniel doesn't take excuses. he holds himself accountable. and i know that he can do it for the city of san francisco. welcome back to msnbc's coverage of an event full, full, heart felt night of the democratic convention. it was a celebration of diversity looking very differently from the republican convention just a few weeks ago

of history, luminaries and rising stars. there are a lot of people out there googling jasmine crockett, i am sure. the party is as excited and energized as it has been in a very long time. let's be clear, this is not where it was just one month ago. in a few short weeks, polls have swung for kamala harris , tim walz , and the democratic party. this newfound momentum is thanks to the selfless decision of one person. president joe biden passed on the torch to a new generation of leadership. >> i have five months left in my presidency. i have a lot to do. i tend to get it -- i intend to get it done. it has been the honor of my

lifetime to serve as your president. i love the job but i love my country more! i love my country more! all this talk about how i --, how the people said i should step down. it is not true. i love my country more and we need to preserve our democracy. in 2024, we need you to vote! we need you to keep the senate! we need you to win back the house of representatives! and, above all, we need you to beat donald trump!

and elect kamala and tim! president and vice president of the united states of america. selecting kamala was the very first decision i made before i became the nominee. that was the best decision i made in my whole career. we have not only -- she is tough, experienced, and she has enormous integrity, enormous integrity! her story represents the best american story. like many of our best presidents, she was also vice president.

that's a joke. she will be a president our children can look up to. she will be a president we can all be proud of she will be an historic president who puts her stamp on american -- america's future. in the song, i can't sing worth a , so i will not try. i will quote it . -- has brought us to this day. what shall our legacy be? what will our children say? let me know in my heart when my days are through, america, america, i gave my best to you!

>> i can't imagine this was an easy speech to make, nor one for his wife or daughter to make. we know it was not an easy decision to bow out of the race. but, joe biden, like a true leader and patriot and someone who has served the country for 50 years, but his country before himself this first night was a showcase of the newly invigorated democratic party. was a celebration of $100 and leaders. we are all here, they have not had sex or coffee but are still very lively. also with us, --. michael, we have all been watching this speech thinking

and chatting between the brakes, thinking about this moment in history. this has never happened before, how should we feel about it, the good news is, you are here, an actual historian and someone who has watched many of these elections and conventions so closely. tell us what you were feeling as you were watching president biden give that speech tonight. >> i am glad to be with you. i have watched a lot of these speeches and i usually do not get as choked up as i was tonight those words, america, america, i gave my best to you. i can recite them verbatim and will for years. this is someone america was lucky to have as president. he will be one of the great one term presidents and one of the great transformational presidents in american history. what would we want with 20/20 hindsight? i think i would want a president who had the ability

and motive and character to restore our democracy after it had been vandalized for four years. restore our economy, restore alliances, restore public health after this dreadful pandemic and restore ethics and decency. he did all those things and he did it in one term. what more could we ask for? >> he accomplished a great deal which he talked through in that speech, too. it reminded me of all the things he has done. i am sure the same for many people watching. someone was talking earlier about how when they got on stage you could read their lips and she's dead, i love you. >> i heard her say that and saw that, too. >> there is a projection here through the many people who have served over time and the connection between barack

obama, --'s then obama picking joe biden, getting elected, there is a connection among all of them. it is a reminder of the importance of these conventions what else do you think history will remember from tonight? >> there is a connection if you have a leader of character and largeness of spirit. you don't always have that. harry truman pass the torch to stephenson and was angry that stevenson did not praise his administration enough the two men were barely on speaking terms by election day. lyndon johnson passed the torch to hubert humphrey and was so annoyed that humphrey would not be 3000% for his awful vietnam war, that he was secretly, in many ways, for richard nixon, and did almost everything until

a few weeks, to undercut hubert humphrey. tonight he praised her, gave her full credit for all her contributions to his administration. i would like to tell you that is something we have seen in american history, but it is much better than what we have seen. >> that is very true. let me come back to the table. this moment was about joe biden, but there were other people who were shining in this moment and tonight, as well. i mentioned people are googling jasmine crockett. she is really remarkable. she gave such a powerful speech. the moment where she talked about her interaction with vice president harris was one i will remember from the night it was very personal. what did you think? >> that is what i like to call

a quintessential kamala harris story. if you end up in a photo line around this lady, if you're going through something, she will ask you about it i remember very vividly, i saw her somewhere, i was speaking with her and i was having a very rough two weeks she asked, what's wrong? and she had a white suit on and there was a photo line with people waiting to take a picture. she said, my suit is white, but collect yourself. and then she gives you the advice. that is a quintessential story about kamala harris. i'm glad the congresswoman told that. some of the narratives would have you believe that vice president harris is a shrewd, navigating, calculating politician with no soul and doesn't care about the people around her. that is the opposite of the truth. >> that is a characterization of women in politics by men in

politics. so, a woman is viewed in those frames when they have nothing else to say about her. they can't comprehend the fact that she is able to move in a space that they move in, and quite frequently, do it better, move better. it is that fred astaire ginger rogers line, i did everything he did but backwards in heels. it is the same concept that america is going to have to come to grips with, with a woman sitting behind the resolute desk with the nuclear codes people already, why is she saluting the military? she is the vice president of the freaking united states. that is why she is saluting and why she is being saluted. when she is president, they will do the same thing. it is going to be interesting from an historic perspective to watch america adjust.

i think, i think a lot of women are ready for it, but the country as a whole is going to be interesting to see how we move into this moment. what you said is correct. she is going to show empathy that men would not dare show, right? people are going to treat that as weakness, when in fact, it is strength. that is a very difficult attribute to carry as a leader, as a chief executive, the commander-in-chief, to show empathy. all of your best generals did, though. they always paid attention to troop morale. the men in their service. i am looking for that story to unfold over the next few moments. >> i love the feminism! >> we are going to get him a

shirt. >> looking at the moment we are in, a lot of people have been underestimated over the course of time. i am thinking of aoc, she only had 90 seconds to introduce bernie sanders. tonight, she gave a rousing, riproaring speech. just to build off of what michael was saying, women in politics, has it changed? you look at kamala harris, she has handled this with tremendous, not just grace, but strategic aliens that she was hugging joe biden on stage. >> just whispering sweet i love youse. there are a lot of easter eggs in the hillary clinton speech. the fact that she is saying the future is now. talking about the cracks in the glass ceiling without actually ever being very explicit about

what those cracks were or what the future was that she was envisioning. i also thought, it was really interesting, when they brought on everyone who wanted to share their story about having lack of access to reproductive care, that in addition to amanda and --, you also had josh to say, this is an issue affecting men, too. men are going to have to continue to be brought into this conversation, into the old, we know tim walz is going to do a lot of the work . you saw them engaging in that balancing act. >> that is such a powerful part of this whole weekend. we have a lot more to talk about in the late-night coverage of the dnc. dnc. >> it is my honor to accept our

party's nomination for president. nearly 66 million americans voted for a future where there are no ceilings on our dreams. and, afterwards, we refused to give up on america. millions marched, manny ran for office, we kept our eyes on the future. well, my friends, the future is here! here! i can make this place i love even better. earn up to 5% cash back on business essentials with the chase ink business cash card from chase for business. for more than a decade farxiga has been trusted again and again, and again. ♪ far-xi-ga ♪ ♪ far-xi-ga ♪ ♪ far-xi-ga ♪ ♪ far-xi-ga ♪ ask your doctor about farxiga.

crime will keep coming down when we put a prosecutor in the oval office instead of a convicted felon. >> that was a pretty good line there. he had some good ones, funny ones, as well. we have a couple new ones joining the conversation. molly, i saw you wandering around the convention. i know you were there. you were on some of our coverage. you were in there tonight for

all the speeches. joe biden got a sustained many minutes of applause in there. what was the feeling in the room, what were people saying, the people you are talking to around that speech? >> it was an amazing convention. people were delighted. there was a sense, look, biden has made an enormous sacrifice we are not used to in public life, seeing a president do this and hand it over to his vice president in such a generous way, like you saw them tonight. even during the speech he kept saying, don't just thanked me, thank kamala, too. you cannot fake that level of friendship or whatever it is. i did think you saw a lot of that today. people were in good moods, i talked to a lot of people, senators, congresspeople, there

was definitely like, you know, it is melancholy, right? he made this huge sacrifice and i think there was really a feeling that this was the night to honor joe. he gave a pretty forceful speech. i was impressed. i definitely think, it is hope full, it is joyful, but it is also a little bit sad. >> many emotions, mixed, many emotions happening at the same time. it was a bit of a pool starting with jasmine crockett all the way through hadley devol. i want to ask you about some of the messaging lines. he is going to be out there on the campaign. i mentioned when i thought was pretty good. give me your sense. >> here's what was so interesting to me about tonight. it really served to humanize kamala harris in a way.

we all know she is a lawyer but we did not know why she became a lawyer. >> the story telling about her tonight. >> she became a lawyer because her high school best friend was molested by her best friend's stepfather. that is what inspired her. it wasn't just that humanizing, it was the playground bully who picked on her best friend and how she still has a scar today above her for head because she stood up to that boy. that is the arc of storytelling. that is why i think tonight, if they can replicate this over the course of the next four days, it really is going to help move the needle and put more wind in her sales. >> one of the things that struck me from watching tonight, regardless of people's politics, if they were watching, a bunch of the democratic party is enormous.

you had senator warnock, he gave a rousing speech that would have been the best speech by far at the republican convention a couple weeks ago. i will stop there with hulk hogan, but aoc, who, four years ago, she had 90 seconds to introduce bernie sanders. tonight, she gave a pretty powerful, riproaring speech. she has made an entire transition through the world of politics in many ways. she is one of those people who knew but maybe they looked and thought, that is a person who is a little different than what i thought. jasmine crockett i think people are googling. what did you think about some of the people who spoke who are not household names? >> i think i am also just by aoc. you are seeing this democratic party that cannot believe it's luck at this moment and also

just how unified it is. there is a scenario where aoc was out on the street with massive protesters. instead, there were very few unused protest signs. the core oppositional voices inside the party are --. i would not have predicted. who knows how long that kind of thing can last. >> democrats know the assignment. that is to keep donald trump from the oval office and to create an environment where we can secure the future we want for ourselves and our families. they are not going to let anything distract from that one solitary goal. that is why we saw joe biden move so quickly to shut down any notion of, we talked about this, this notion that there should be regional town halls

to pick the democrat nomination. he shut it down and it was great. >> i was looking forward to that. >> i am sure you were. we have to sneak in another quick break. -- joins us next. we will be right back. ht back. . yay - woo hoo! ensure, with 27 vitamins and minerals, nutrients for immune health. and ensure complete with 30 grams of protein.

okay, we have all been talking a lot about the dangers of project 2025. there is a lot in there. few have summed it up as well as michigan state --. she brought a prop. a very large prop. >> i am michigan state senator mallory mike marut. and this! this is project 2025. now, over the next four nights, you are going to hear a lot about what is in this 900 page document. why? because, this is the republican blueprint for a second trump term.

that's right. they went ahead and wrote down all the extreme things that donald trump wants to do in the next four years. and then they put it out on the internet for everybody to read. so, we read it. whatever you think it might be, it is so much worse. tonight, i want to tell you about just one aspect of project 2025. its plan to turn donald trump into a dictator. >> joining me now, you are still awake, amazingly. thank you for being with us. it seemed like you are having a really good time out there with that big book. what was going through your head as you are describing this to a huge convention hall? >> i was, huge kudos to the

team that we worked on with concepting this and bringing it to life. it was how we could express, it is dense language, but to break it down visually and tell people what it actually does, it is fun but it is also important and dangerous. >> you also announced tonight or said, this is the first of four nights, but also the first of four nights where it will be featured. what should we expect over the next couple nights? will there be a breakdown, is it something people should be alarmed about? >> it will be one aspect of project 2025 highlighted each night. tonight was about the abuse of executive power. the ability for donald trump to effectively become a dictator.

tomorrow night, what it means for people's pocketbooks and then breaking it down into bite- size pieces this is something for people, really important for people to understand what it does in plain english. >> everybody is not going to read it. although the, they should. everybody can read it work it is on the heritage website. you were in the hall when president joe biden spoke. you are from a very important state, i don't have to tell you. what was the reaction among your delegation? what were people saying, thinking, were they crying next what was the reaction >> i mean, just the energy, not even of just tonight, but the entire atmosphere leading up to today and the start of this convention. it is all the excitement we have seen building about kamala harris and also a deep sense of gratitude. it has just started to sink in with people how incredible what president biden has decided to

do. it is one of the most patriotic decisions a president is ever going to make. someone who truly puts america first, unlike the other guy who claims america first but only looks out for himself. you felt waves of emotion rippling through the arena, everybody feeling all these emotions all at once. that is such a counter to how horrible so many of us have felt over the past many years with the pandemic, the insurrection, everything that donald trump has unleashed. this was gathering together to turn the page and it was beautiful. >> we will see if there are more big books to come. i wouldn't consider you one of the big rising stars in the democratic party. people saw you tonight, i knew of you, people saw you tonight, probably were googling you and wanting to know more about you. what was it like for you to watch jasmine crockett, aoc,

senator warnock, everybody learned a lot more about them tonight watching at home >> i think this first night is such a great indication of a democratic party that is wildly diverse. you had new voices, you mentioned it, aoc being an outsider and now on the main stage. you had all of the party, all the generations, all the factions not in disarray but really coming together with one unified message. it was really exciting being backstage and seeing everybody get ready to speak. to me, what a powerful group of people and what a powerful party this is. it really is representative of the entire country and what a stark contrast it was. >> even the visual was quite a stark contrast. thank you so much for staying up with us. hope your arms aren't sore from

know what was going through her head. >> it was probably the most rich, ironic moment in political history. you can see it on her face, she was getting in the groove of it. i don't lain her. you listened to what people said about this woman from the time she was a u.s. senator onward, especially. there were a lot of republicans, she has always been the bogeyman for a lot of republicans this whole time. this whole idea of locking her up because of crimes she never committed and wrongdoing that she was never involved with and to have someone who is now sitting there running for president with 34 convictions, yeah, it is a little bit ironic to have that moment unfold. i went to twitter to see what the reaction was going to be.

you need to get a grip, go with the flow, it is okay if you shout, lock him up. he gets sentenced in three weeks. >> harris and walz , the ticket, they have been tamping it down when they are asked about this. >> the court system is going to deal with trump's legal issues. i know you are not saying the opposite, democrats could've had a little fun tonight. i am putting on my doj hat right now. i think it should be, they should be separate. let the jury of the american people deal with donald trump, the politician. now, about hillary clinton, this speech is self, it was hopeful, optimistic, it reminded me of the theme of her

husband's campaign. don't stop thinking about tomorrow. she was optimistic, forward- looking, she had every reason to be bitter and error her grievances. she did none of that. she was a class act. i have to say this, she was the most qualified person to ever run for residents of the united states. it was america's loss that she never took the office. >> you covered her for how long? >> gosh, half my life. she was not always that good, actually. >> what were you thinking as you are watching it? >> the most impressive thing, one of the things about kamala harris , people raised questions about her political abilities. she was behind-the-scenes and working the clintons very hard over a couple years so that when this moment happened, she called up the clintons, they

rushed out an endorsement of her. >> they were so fast! >> she had really very skillfully laid the groundwork for a residential run whether now or in four years. i had not realized, i hadn't seen and you are really seeing that >> the whole story of kamala harris, we got a glimpse of this when jasmine crockett talked about how she was going through a moment and kamala harris gave her advice, so much that she cried. kamala harris got to this moment because of the beside -- the behind-the-scenes work, the grassroots movements, she traveled the country speaking. day in and day out. she got exceptional local media coverage. people on the national level, god bless them, did not pick up what we are all seeing now.

>> let me just bring in molly. we have to bring in molly. she always have smart, good thoughts. molly, i want to play a part of clinton's speech that struck me and i am sure it struck you, a little bit different from how vice president harris is talking about running as a woman. >> together, we put a lot of cracks in the highest, hardest glass ceiling. tonight, tonight, so close to breaking through, once and for all. i want to tell you what i see through all those cracks and why it matters for each and every one of us. what do i see? i see freedom.

i see the freedom to make our own decisions about our health, our lives, our loves, our families. the freedom to work with dignity and prosper. to worship as we choose, or not. to speak our minds freely and honestly. i see freedom from fear and intimidation. from violence and injustice, from chaos and corruption. i see the freedom to look our children in the i and say, in america, you can go as far as your hard work and talent will take you, and mean it! and you know what? on the other side of that glass ceiling is kamala harris raising her hand and taking

the oath of office this -- as the 47th president of the united states! >> molly, what i was thinking about in that moment is, and so many women and perhaps men were thinking in the room, hillary clinton kind of normalized seeing a woman at the top of the ticket. she also did that through many issues. she is brilliant, experienced, she has been a fighter for injustice, but also by wearing her first woman on her sleeve. now, vice president harris doesn't do that, exactly. she does not talk about being the first asian-american woman, the first black woman, the second woman or first women president, as much. she does not lead with that. what you make of that strategy? is it a continuation or a smart strategy, what do you think?

>> i think there is more available to harris because of clinton. it is many years later though donald trump is still running for president, that has not changed. we have seen that a woman going for the top job as being more normalized. we have seen hillary clinton before, but i think part of it is that harris has, again, i have been watching her intently, interviewing her, writing about her, the thing i have been struck by is how much people do not want to give her the benefit of the doubt and how incredibly underestimated she was at every point. so much so that i would go on television and say she is actually really good and people would be like, no, you are partisan. i have to wonder how many black

women have been so underestimated like this, right? she gets out there and she is excellent. she has galvanized the party in ways that none of us could have even imagined. there were so many pundits being like, they should swap her out, she can't do this, right? it has been a month and she has been beyond anyone's expectations. in my mind, i wonder how many black women have had the experience of being told that they are not appropriate for this job and, in fact, they are better than anyone else who would've gotten the job. i am struck by that >> so striking. she has been absolutely fearless. it is still going to be a journey and a grind, but she has been fearless and very effective. we have to sneak in a very quick rake again. i know i keep saying that. -- is chomping at the bit.

we are back with michael anthony and ben. one of the things we have been talking about is the republican reaction. they have not really figured out how to go after the harris- tran18 ticket. >> i was just flipping all over twitter, and as you can see. >> we can hear it. >> still playing it. >> i don't understand -- >> you want to share it with everybody. that was not a republican reaction, that was joe biden. >> it was part of the reaction

to what the president is saying. it is funny. it ran from the sublime to okay, so where are all the policies that kamala is supposed to be doing, to the stupid, he is still trying to hold onto power. it said to me in those moments that, even after 4 1/2 or five weeks, the gop has not moved on from joe biden, number one. the comments about hunter biden are hysterical. they just can't let go of the grist and the meat they have held onto for so long. now, the landscape has shifted, not just under their feet, but under the -- across the country. and, more importantly in backyards they did not think they would have to play in. georgia, nevada, shall i say the f word? florida?

>> really? >> abortion is on the ballot. there are a lot of voters that are in a very interesting space, let's just put it that way. from folks that i talked to in florida. the dynamics there are shifting. i am not going to say the democrats are going to win florida, but my point is, if republicans have to go play in their own backyard? >> they have to spend money. >> it speaks to a broader question. they are saying, oh , what do i do? congressional race as they once thought they could hold onto are now looking a little hanky and the senate races are looking questionable in some states. so, you see all that reflected in some of the comments tonight. the wish casting about the democratic party, how kamala

is going to take us to in a hand basket there is the answer to how do you address the energy? how do you address the connection? 70,000 republicans got on a zune call last week for kamala harris. that is something, if i am a national chairman -- >> it freaks you out! >> we have all had so much fun but we have to wrap this up for the moment. thank you all so much. that does it for me tonight. keep your thoughts, we will have more the rest of the week. special coverage of day two starts at 6:00 p.m. eastern tomorrow. for now we will give steve kerr the last word. >> i will be getting out every day to help people get out and vote on november 5
