makes my day. prevagen. at stores everywhere without a prescription.

welcome back to a second hour of "chris jansing reports," live from the dnc in chicago. ahead for us, tonight is the night for big dad energy, just two weeks after he joined the ticket, tim walz prepares for his moment on the dnc stage. what we know about his speech, and the tribute from one of his former students. also ahead, kamala harris and a campaign haul for the record books. the eye popping amount raised as her battleground politics continues. plus, peaceful gatherings and violent clashes. police are preparing for more demonstrations in chicago after chaos outside the israeli embassy ended in arrests.

and donald trump's first outdoor campaign event since his assassination attempt, why it will look different than every other appearance he's made so far. plus, did j.d. vance just take a page out of the dnc's playbook? wait until you hear what he had to say. our nbc news reporters are following all of the latest developments. i want to start here at the dnc with nbc's kelly o'donnell, and monica alba. every time i look at tim walz out there, he looks like he is having the time of his life, but this is a different thing, right? this is a keynote, big stage. >> pressure is on. >> i mean, he's following the obamas last night, following bill clinton. >> not easy. >> the thing that helps that is he is the nominee. that does give him a little boost. if we knew when kamala harris was doing her running mate search that joy was one of the key factors, he fills that, and

certainly complements and supports her in that. part of what they are looking for tonight is to be able to say he's a midwest dad, he can speak the language of rural america, and he can do things that will make people feel kind of at ease like they know this person, he was a teacher, a coach, and they're shaking it up a little bit by not having his wife, who is the first lady of minnesota right now, gwen, introduce him, instead, a student. gwen walz will voice over the introductory video, so she will have a place. but they're mixing it up a little bit, to make it feel different, and give a moment to reinforce who he is. this is a clean slate, he has to introduce himself even though he's been a member of congress and the sitting governor, and it's a chance to do that in a way that they hope will connect. >> there's something about the word coach, and they are certainly leaning into that. >> leaning into that heavily, yes. >> monica, you have reporting on fundraising numbers, and it's impressive. >> when it was hour by hour after president biden stepped aside from the race and thousands fundraising numbers were coming in, they were

already eye popping for how much they were able to do in those first 24 hours or so. but now we're learning, chris, that it's approaching $500 million in total in just about four weeks. now, it's not just for the harris/walz campaign. we're talking about all the affiliated entities and democratic pacts that are able to fund raise. it is still a significant amount of money when we're talking about just how little time has transpired here, and we're told that by the end of august, so next week, that will likely be up to $600 million. and when you put that into the context of past campaigns that have essentially raised a billion dollars over the entire cycle, it really just shows, for democrats, how they are viewing this energy and this enthusiasm and another way they are measuring that is in the crowd sizes which we heard former president obama speak to last night. but where vice president harris and governor walz were in

milwaukee, the initial crowd count was something like 15,000 people. the campaign is revising that to say today it was 18,000 people. you add that to the 20,000 or so here -- >> are you going crazy, monica, with the song? >> it's like they heard the numbers and the dnc band starts playing. >> '80s music, that's our thing. >> we would have a dance party if i didn't have a show to do. kelly o'donnell. we were having a dance party, monica. thank you both. there's serious stuff going on outside the convention center because police are bracing for a fourth day of demonstrations after tense moments last night. nbc's maggie vespa is reporting from chicago's union park. i know they had some arrests, what can you tell us? >> yeah, chris, they had between 50 and 60 arrests at the protests last night. you can see cpd is back out here waiting for a fourth straight night of protests on the third night of the dnc. we had one on sunday, showing

you the video from last night, you can see how chaotic night three of protests got. it was the most chaotic by far. behind enemy lines, they wanted to clash with chicago police, they named the event, make it great like '68. and clashes ensued indeed, cpd also telling us two officers sustained minor injuries last night, but wanted to continue policing the demonstration because they said they just basically wanted to keep doing their jobs on the streets of chicago. again, up to 60 arrests, they tell us no demonstrators were hurt. this is what chicago police superintendent snelling had to say earlier. >> make it great like '68. that was what they brought here to chicago. it's 2024. and the chicago police department proved that. so let's get off of 1968.

let's stop talking about 1968. this is 2024. the chicago police department has proven that every single day. >> reporter: that was night three of protests. the superintendent saying -- praising his officers saying they kept the peace. they did a good job. here we go with night four. you can see chicago police already lining up. tonight's protests starting in a couple of hours, this afternoons, i should say. the chicago coalition for justice and palestine. they're going to be bussing people in from area mosques and marching from this area, union park, which is about a half mile from the dnc. this one is closer, and we'll see how this one goes, chris. >> maggie vespa, thank you. to north carolina where the stage is equipped with bullet proof glass for donald trump's first outdoor campaign event since the july assassination attempt. nbc's vaughn hillyard is reporting from asheboro. what are we seeing? what are we expecting, vaughn? >> reporter: this is the first

outdoor event since butler, pennsylvania, when donald trump survived that assassination attempt. you can see the bullet proof glass on the front and the back side of this podium here. we expect donald trump to take the stage at any moment. j.d. vance spoke to the crowd. take a listen to a little bit of his counter message to the stage in chicago. >> donald j. trump represents something so many in this country need. it's important to recognize it, we need hope in the united states of america. >> reporter: we maybe heard the word hope spoken from that chicago stage by particularly michelle obama just last night, but of course it's a republican ticket here that is trying to, in its own messaging, use the term about its future for america. i want to also be clear, today's event, chris, is supposed to be focused on national security, and j.d. vance as part of his remarks was talking to the crowd, suggesting there was no war in ukraine, under the trump

administration, and i think that it's, you know, when you're looking at the political contrast in messaging here, that is something that you should expect not only the debate just a few weeks from now for donald trump to bring up to the country, but also it was j.d. vance who questioned what the biden/harris administration's plan is to ultimately have the war in ukraine come to an end. and the reason i bring that up is because donald trump himself has been very unclear about his own plan and strategy, suggesting he would end the war in 24 hours. of course, viktor orban has suggested in his own private conversations with donald trump that that meant ending u.s. financial aid to ukraine, which would cause the eu to stop its own funding and for ukraine to see territory to russia, and i saw keith kellogg, the former national security adviser to vice president pence and long time ally to donald trump, is here at the event, and he told me he had talked about his own

report with donald trump in which he was proposing a similar way to end the war by having ukraine to come to the negotiating table and see some of the land. i think this is a serious conversation that's going to be taking place here in the weeks ahead. chris. >> vaughn hillyard, thank you for that. you can hear the sound checks continuing. the band just plays, wes moore, the governor of maryland off the stage, coming up in 90 seconds, the woman famously turned off by politics delivers a dnc speech that brought down the house. >> the anticipation, the energy, the exhilaration of once again being on the cusp of a brighter day. america, hope is making a comeback. comeback

for people who feel limited by the unpredictability of generalized myasthenia gravis and who are anti-achr antibody positive, season to season, ultomiris is continuous symptom control, with improvement in activities of daily living. it is reduced muscle weakness. and ultomiris is the only long-acting gmg treatment with the freedom of just 6 to 7 infusions per year, for a predictable routine i can count on. ultomiris can lower your immune system's ability to fight infections, increasing your chance of serious meningococcal infections, which may become life-threatening or fatal, and other types of infections. complete or update your meningococcal vaccines at least 2 weeks before starting ultomiris. if ultomiris is urgent, you should also receive antibiotics with your vaccines. before starting ultomiris, tell your doctor about all of your medical conditions and medications. ultomiris can cause reactions such as back pain, tiredness,

dizziness, limb discomfort, or bad taste. ultomiris is moving forward with continuous symptom control. ask your neurologist about starting ultomiris. she is the reluctant political spouse turned pop culture icon to say that the return of michelle obama to the dnc sent the crowd into a frenzy would be an understatement. including when she said that with kamala harris, hope is making a comeback, and then she had a few choice words for donald trump. >> for years, donald trump did everything in his power to try to make people fear us. see, his limited, narrow view of the world made him feel threatened by the existence of two hard working, highly educated successful people who happened to be black.

who's going to tell him that the job he's currently seeking might just be one of those black jobs. >> let's bring in former rnc chairman, michael steele, cohost of msnbc's "the weekend", and an msnbc political analyst. right here on set, jonathan capehart, msnbc host and associate editor of the "washington post" and maya rupert who managed julien castro's presidential campaign and served as a senior adviser to the elizabeth warren campaign. great to have both of you here. i mean, it was a night. a lot of talk about hope. we just heard what she had to say about hope, but i don't know, because you were coming in to set, that you heard what j.d. vance just said. >> oh, no. >> let me play that for you. do we have that ready to roll? >> donald j. trump represents something that so many people in this country need right now, and i think it's important to recognize it. we need hope in the united

states of america. >> i wish i had -- i see it in the face. is it a different kind of hope, jonathan? >> i don't know what he's talking about. i have been paying attention to donald trump for nine years. hope is not in his vocabulary. we've gone from american carnage to him talking about, you know, mayhem and dystopia for the 2024 campaign. i don't know what senator vance is trying to do there. but he's certainly gaslighting, if not the american people, whoever is there at that rally. >> is it a suggestion that joy and hope, maya, is working? >> absolutely. i think what we're seeing here at the convention, what we have seen ever since this ticket has come together are people's excitement, people are saying, i feel hope again. you know, i'm excited to see what is in the news. that is a palpable change, and it's the kind of thing that gets people organizing, talking to

their neighbors, turning out to vote, and making this a successful campaign. i think to jonathan's point, i don't think it's something that trump has been able to compete with and match on any level. >> we're seeing there, donald trump with his running mate on the stage in ashburn, north carolina, and i want to draw a contrast. we have a good idea always of what donald trump is going to say, but in the "new york times" today, peter baker points out how personal what we heard from michelle obama was last night, quote, in offering her support for harris, who would be america's second black president if she wins and the first woman in the oval office, mrs. obama summoned her own grievances about the way mr. trump regularly attacked her husband along racial lines. the birther lie that mr. trump relentlessly promoted still burns in the obama household. draw me a contrast from what we saw last night to what we're going to see and hear on the

stage in north carolina. >> i think first of all, pay back is a you know what, right? this is an opportunity for the former first lady to settle some scores and land a few punches, and she did so very adroitly. she did it at times in your face. and i think it's important to start to set that contrast in place because we know what's to come. i mean, to jonathan's quizzical look on his face, which i love, j.d. vance is gaslighting on the hope message because the campaign is not about hope. that campaign is about project 2025, and what you see leveled up at the dnc convention, not just last night but certainly tonight and going forward, will be a clear delineation between looking forward, hope, and looking backwards, dystopia, and retribution, and wanting to be a dictator. they're now trying to mask their

actions and their strategy with the word hope, but it's not believable because to jonathan's point, donald trump has never uttered the word, he has never laid that out as a vision for the country. it's going to be kind of hard now after what we saw and heard from monday night to last night to now on this wednesday come out and start talking about, you know, donald trump is all about hope. well, no, he's not, and it's not believable. it will fall flat, and i think the first lady and the former president, barack obama, made that conversation much more conversation to have today, and then when kamala hits the stage on thursday, it will be all but impossible for donald trump to own any piece of the narrative around hope. >> well, when you talk about what you see and hear, what we see on the stage behind me right now, maybe we have a picture of

it is gabby giffords and senator mark kelly who took a lot of line of attack from j.d. vance and donald trump about his long military service when he was considered a potential vice presidential nominee. i want to go back to the difference between that kind of messaging to what we heard last night from michelle obama. because, first, when she came out, people were literally jumping up and down. they were screaming. >> it was astounding. >> then they were crying. >> and i know this was an emotional appearance for you. you spent some time with the obamas, so you know them, but you also know how deep it is that they felt the attacks on them. talk about what you saw and heard and felt last night. >> that was the most -- not to say that michelle obama has never been authentic when she has taken a convention stage, but that was the most authentic,

and most raw michelle obama we have seen in a political context. what she was doing, and why i was so moved by what she was saying is that she was like an ambassador to black people and how we feel, can still feel, when we hear donald trump speak. he speaks about us, when he speaks about our place in the united states, and when i say us, i'm not just talking about african-americans, anyone who is not white, male, christian, cis gender straight. his rhetoric has always been about you stay in your place, and we're going to rise above you. and michelle obama taking the personal, she dealt with that for eight years in the white house. i know what i said about when they go low, we go high. enough with that. not only is democracy on the line, but i'm done with you disparaging me, disparaging my

husband, disparaging my family, disparaging my people, and disparaging my country, and that's why, i mean, i broke down in tears at the end of pbs coverage last night. you know, politics is personal. people want to see themselves reflected in the words and the speeches of their leaders. and with michelle obama last night, as i said, i felt seen. and i think millions of americans felt the same way, that there was someone on the stage who was reflecting who they are, and their values, and not necessarily because they're african-american. i think she spoke to people as americans. >> so the thing that she does -- did, maya, so well, is she got everybody understanding the stakes. and they feel the energy, they have been feeling the energy since they arrived in chicago. but she also had a warning,

right? and i want to play a little bit of that warning. >> it's up to us to remember what kamala's mother told her, don't just sit around and complain. do something. so if they lie about her and they will, we've got to do something. if we see a bad poll, and we will, we got to put down that poll and do something. if we start feeling tired, if we start feeling that dread creeping back in, we got to pick ourselves up, throw water on our face, and what, do something. we only have two and a half months, y'all, to get this done. >> she was pulling no punches. >> absolutely. absolutely. i mean, look, i think what she did was remind us what we know. we're seeing a huge amount of excitement, so much enthusiasm, and so much hope, but we know what they're going to do. and i thought it was -- i will say as a black woman, i thought

it was very cathartic to hear what her say so explicitly what that birtherism high did to her and her family, and draw the line and say, we know they're going to come for her. we need to be ready for it, and we need to respond. and i think there's been this narrative that i have seen that's almost like that hope and enthusiasm is almost sort of naivety, and the real race is going to start with the negativity starts. i think what she did is remind us exactly what we know is that hope and enthusiasm will translate to the machine that is going to push back on those lies, and that's what we need. we have a party, unfortunately, we have a candidate on the other side who trades in this mis and disinformation, who is going to go out of his way to lie and attack in ways that are unfair. i didn't know if she was going to be able to speak people were screaming so loudly. we need that to turn into the people that are going to call, talk to their families and

friends, that's not right. i know you heard that, that's not true. and let me tell you what's true, and that's what she was calling on us to do, and what was so moving about that moment, i was looking around at people, that's exactly what they're going to be doing. they are going to be that machine pushing back. >> so it was really interesting to me to hear david axelrod last night, michael. he's somebody as you know, who was chief strategist for barack obama, and this is how he described michelle obama, how she -- i mean, we all know she never wanted to be part of politics, she could walk away from politics and be happy about it. but she transcends politics, telling "the washington post," she is in a completely different category. she never thought of herself as in politics. she was a conscript. she is even more of a cultural figure. so who is the michelle obama i think that we're going to see out there? how much would you imagine, and

how do you best use someone like michelle obama whose power we saw on the stage last night? >> i don't think you use her sparingly. i think that there have been a lot of lessons learned by the democrats and particularly the political infrastructure from what happened to hillary clinton. and how close that was and how unfortunate it was that attention wasn't paid to certain aspects of campaigning that would be required in order to win. and i don't think they're going to make that mistake again this time. i think there's going to be a concentrated conversation around shoring up white suburban women who are a weak link for democrats to be honest about it. and the fact that you had, you know, massive phone calls with white women in support of kamala harris is a turning point. so you stick a pin in that. you want michelle obama there to reinforce the messaging for

those women who are coming out in support. you want her there to reinforce the messaging that we were just talking about, around communities of color being not only seen but heard. and that this is going to be best reflected in these choices by kamala harris. so i think she's going to play an incredibly important role, and will have the runway, if you will, to use as much of her time and give as much of her time as necessary. i think it's going to be an important turning point beginning last night, and it's ironic and interesting in one sense that between the two speakers, barack and michelle, it is michelle that i think has moved the needle more for a lot of folks out there because she spoke about the real personal impact on her family from what donald trump did. and it was political. it was personal, and she held

that a long time for her family, and that makes a difference when it comes to resonating with voters when you have someone like her sharing that side of the story. >> michael steele, thank you, and jonathan, maya, you're going to stay right here. still ahead, a second gentleman and a man of firsts, doug emhoff takes center stage to talk family and very awkward first dates. first dates. hi, my name is damian clark. and if you have both medicare and medicaid, i have some really encouraging news that you'll definitely want to hear. depending on the plans available in your area, you may be eligible to get extra benefits with a humana medicare advantage dual-eligible special needs plan. all these

here in chicago, democrats are laying claim to what republicans have long touted as their own, being the pro family party. the visuals here at the dnc have been striking. the convention kicked off night two with the grandsons of two presidents, carter and kennedy. senator tammy duckworth, a war hero, said harder than the military was her fight to have a family. she was followed bid cole emhoff

who said his blended family is ready to represent all families in america, and then doug emhoff himself, second gentleman, who remembers asking kamala harris for a first date. >> now, for generations, people have debated when to call the person you're being set up with, and never in history has anyone suggested 8:30 a.m. and, yet, that's when i dialed. i got kamala's voice mail, and i just started rambling. hey, it's doug. by the way, kamala saved that voice mail, and she makes me listen to it on every anniversary. >> by the way, their anniversary is tomorrow, and then came this moment between the political power couple of the night, the

obamas. >> please welcome america's 44th president and the love of my life, barack obama. >> i am the only person stupid enough to speak after michelle obama. >> but beyond all of that, it is the policies democrats believe will resonate from raising the minimum wage to paid parental leave, expanding the child tax credit, supporting lgbtq famous. jonathan capehart and maya are back with me. the moments are the moments. i don't need to say anything about these. how much will these family friendly policies play in november? >> i think the policies are so important. one of the things that i think have been so interesting is so many republicans have started encouraging donald trump to have a policy debate, which i think is such an odd strategy for someone who says he's pro family, who has j.d. vance going

around criticizing families, but their policies don't support families. what kamala harris and tim walz are talking about are putting money back in the pockets of parents and making sure that -- making the child tax credit permanent, making sure that people, the affordable care act remains affordable. these are things that are critically important to families. they have a plan to address inflation, right? the policies that the democrats are talking about are the only policies they're actually talking about, supporting families, and supporting all families. so as long as we honestly stay in that realm of family, there's a lot that the vice president can talk about. and what donald trump can really talk about is exactly what he's running for, which is project 2025, the most antifamily platform that anyone can imagine. >> the policies are one. visuals can be very powerful. as powerful or more powerful talking about some of the

issues. doug emhoff gave a shout out to his big beautiful blended family. his daughter was in the audience, she was giving the heart. she was wearing a kamala hat. his ex-wife was in the family box with the rest of the family. let's play a little of the conversation that we heard. >> calls us a three-headed parenting machine. kamala and kirsten, thank you, both. thank you, both. for always putting your family and the kids first. >> his ex-wife, by the way, even produced the video before, you know, that played before his speech. so big picture, no pun intended, maybe a pun intended, what we saw last night in addition to what we heard, what's the importance? >> their families look like american families. they're just normal people who just happen to be on the biggest

stage in the world. you can't get any more normal than doug emhoff. his speech was so human. it was so relatable. it is from everyone we have seen, we've taken these politicians off the pedestals and brought them down to -- they're bringing themselves down to the ground and saying, hey, you have a blended family. i have a blended family. you know, you've been trying to get a family, create a family through ivf or other means, we have tried it too, we've gone through the pain and the trials and tribulations of making that happen. and that's why i think you take those visuals, those personal stories, and add it to the policies that you were just talking about, and you get a ticket and a campaign and a party where people can look and see themselves in it. you know, nancy pelosi always says show me your budget, and i can show you your priorities. between the policies and the visuals, we are seeing the priorities of the democratic

party. >> i wonder if there's another message that doug emhoff sent. he gave up a successful career to become a second gentleman. he had issues, and he was out there. that guy was working. he traveled a lot of miles, in fact, supported her since her first run for office. i think, look, as well as being first lady, those kinds of messages are what the party stands for. >> i think it says a lot. it's such an incredible visual to see that because we are so used to seeing women give up a career and be with a spouse who's a candidate. we're so used to seeing a first lady say, okay, now this is going to be my full-time job, and i'm not working. seeing these women take on these roles and seeing their husbands embrace them, love them, support them, that was really powerful.

to see doug emhoff stand on that stage and talk about his family and how he's sort of kept things together as she's been running, that is an image we are so used to seeing female spouses take on, and we don't have that model for men. getting a chance to see that, it was really powerful for me to see it. what i kept thinking is there are young people, young women seeing that and saying, you know what, maybe i will consider this opportunity. i might run for something. there isn't that you're going to have to make a choice that's being presented to them. >> and the other thing is what we're seeing from doug emhoff is a different vision of masculinity. you don't have to, you know, put down your spouse, put down women in order to be strong. you're not weak if you give up your career so that your spouse can shine. and, again, doug is the most normal, regular guy, and i think why he's so popular is the love

for his wife jumps through the screen. it just jumps through the screen. >> jonathan, maya, great talking to both of you. still to come, live from chicago, the young voices shaking up the future of the democratic party, but first, turn down for what? lil john pumps up the crowd during the dnc roll call. ladies and gentlemen, we are here tonight to officially nominate kamala harris for president. ♪♪ turn out the what? ♪ 's faster, bro. 8x faster than flonase. it's faster, bro! it's faster, bro! it's faster, bro! it's mom to you. astepro starts working in 30 minutes. astepro and go! power e*trade's easy to-use tools make complex trading less complicated. custom scans help you find new trading opportunities,

from snappingy social media video, the harris campaign is going in on the demographic that was critical for democrats in 2020, young people. so how is their message resonating? joining me now, three politically active gen z voters, the president of young democrats of georgia, parker short, delegate from pennsylvania, kaley warner, and executive director of voters for tomorrow, santiago mayor. parker, i'm going to start with you because you're in a state that is one of just a handful of battle ground states. young people obviously a key constituency there. i want a reality check as well as a level of enthusiasm. look, it's going to be tough.

how do you get young voters to be part of the democratic coalition? >> look, i'll tell you this, born and raised, i have been involved in georgia democrat politics, i was a field intern for jon ossoff's campaign. because we elected both of them, everything that biden and harris have done from gun control to climate change reform and infrastructure is possible because of those two senators, and since 2022, when georgia reelected raphael warnock, 200,000 more people have registered to vote in the state of georgia. i know young people. we've got an amazing candidate at the top, and there's so much at stake when brian kemp and donald trump have taken away reproductive rights in our state. >> this a big issue that a lot of folks are talking about? >> a huge issue. because in georgia we don't have that access. and i think about having a family, and i talk to my partner, and she's scared to be pregnant in the state of georgia because if something goes wrong, you know, whatever may happen, we don't have the true

protections of medical care. he's basically banned abortion, and now it's not available in our state. >> kaley, enthusiasm is clear, but it's also not votes, right? so i wonder as you talk to other gen zers, friends back home, people here at the convention, how do you translate one to the other? >> absolutely. i think it all starts here with the enthusiasm that we can create. i have already lost my voice from how much fun we have been having, and how exciting it's gotten on the floor. when we go home, it's on all of us delegates, everyone in the audience here, and everyone at home who's watching to go out into our communities, whether that's doing big things, which i know everyone knows that's creating voter registration campaigns or small things like making sure you can drive your neighbor to the polls on election day, no matter who they cast their ballot for, they are able to vote. >> i spoke to the harris campaign, deputy campaign director, rob flaherty, and he talked a lot about, and he's in charge of, all of these viral videos we're seeing, right, and i want to play a little bit of

what he had to say about all of this. >> i know tiktok is somewhere where you're finding a lot of potential voters. >> yes, of course. >> what's your most popular or the one you're most proud of? >> i think the team would be proud of the chapel road and tiktok that they had. >> what we really need is a phenomenon. >> a what? >> it reached more than 50 million people. lots of views off that kamala hq account. the campaign is reaching voters wherever they are, whether they are on tiktok, whether they are on you tube, social media feeds, whether they are in people's living rooms around kitchen tables. we are talking to folks wherever we can reach them, and tiktok is one part of that. >> what i want to say, at least two of you were mouthing the exact words to that, but santiago, look, you have advised the white house, members of congress on gen z, that's one component of it, right?

but, again, i want to go back to a reality check. every campaign i have ever covered, which is longer than all of you have been alive, this is going to be the year that the youth vote makes a difference, and more often than not it hasn't, how do you make this different? >> i think it has for the past three elections. we're going to see it again in 2024. translating that excitement online into actual votes, people like rob, the engagement director, and organizations, outside organizations, young democrats are great at. that's our bread and butter. >> talk to me like i don't understand anything. in this case, i don't. i get why people understand that. you've got to watch this, right, but how do you get from that view to vote? >> so the way this typically works, right, is people who are watching this on tiktok probably aren't paying attention to the convention. they're probably not watching

this show right now, and we're reaching an entirely new audience of people that are now getting to know vice president harris, that are getting to know governor walz and who are sudden apply feeling the excitement, they want them in the white house. they want them leading the country, and we have incredible programs, like students for harris, where they're recruiting all of these people and have seen surges in excitement and signups. these people want to elect them. and we're making sure they have the resources, that they have the programs they need in order to do that. we have door knocking operations. we have phone banking operations and we have relational organizing. we know the single most effective person to convince another young person to vote are friends and classmates. >> we have less than 30 seconds. kaley, your first time voting this election. so if somebody would say, i might not register, what's your message? >> great question. my message is that i grew up on the set of beliefs that my values drive everything we do today. and to me, those values are

human kindness and decency, uplifting one another. finding ways to help sporlt support people in our community. that's what it means to be a democrat. and getting to be here today is because of that. i want to push everyone to look at the values they stand for, and vote with that in mind, and i'm positive that we can get this done in november. >> santiago, kaley, parker, one or all three will be in congress, and who knows where else soon. i can sense it in my bones, and you can tell everybody you got your start here on msnbc. thank you all for coming. appreciate it. >> thank you for having us. protesters crashed nancy pelosi's interview with stephen colbert.

let's take a look on stage at the dnc. you can see kind of a side shot of tim walz. he has a big speech tonight to introduce himself to much of america. we don't know that much about him, except maybe that he gets called coach an awful lot. also, following the obamas last night, those are pretty big shoes to fill, but he's got a very different style, and you can see him getting comfortable on that dnc stage. meantime, in a live taping for the late show with stephen colbert last night, things didn't go as planned after pro palestinian protesters began shouting from the balcony at his guest, speaker emerita, nancy pelosi. >> will you listen to her

response? >> they're screaming, i can't hear them, but to have who have that question. >> they say united states should not have any role in supplying arms to the people of gaza. >> israel has a right to defend itself. >> agreed, and the hostages should be returned. >> but the other part of it is that has been so major for all of us for many years, is that there must be a two-state solution. >> i want to bring in democratic congressman and member of the house foreign affairs committee jason crowe. first of all, she's very experienced. nothing, you know, makes her lose her game, but when you hear protests like that, along with the people marching near the convention center that we have been seeing, is there anything different you think your party could be doing to message on gaza? >> what i see is a contrast between the democratic party and what has become the party of trump, and the clear distinction here is that democrats don't shy

away from tough conversations. we don't shy away from dissent. we support freedom of speech. people have things to say, and we'll listen to them. doesn't mean we always have to agree with folks, but we welcome that dissent, which is different from the lock step mentality of the party of trump where there is no diversity of thought. that's a clear distinction to make here. >> what do you think the chances are that we will see some kind of cease fire deal? >> i know the biden administration has been pushing hard for that deal, we have to get israel to agree to it. we have to get hamas to agree to it. there has to be a cease fire. the humanitarian catastrophe we have seen, the civilian casualties, the risk of famine is really intolerable, you know, and we have to recognize that multiple things can be true at the same time. israel has a right to defend itself, but as vice president harris has said, the manner in which they do so matters. so we need to push for that cease fire. we need to get it done, and i know that president biden has been leading that effort.

>> let's talk about tonight. tim walz has left the stage, but look, j.d. vance has accused him of distorting his military record and "politico" is reporting that 50 republican members of congress, all of them military veterans have signed a letter to tim walz accusing him of egregious misrepresentation of his military service calling on him to come clean. you're a former army ranger, bronze star recipient, what do you make of that? >> when you can't attack the policies, you attack the person. it's attempted character assassination. it's wrong. it's just false. i started as a private in the national guard, just like tim walz did, and i later went active duty. i became an officer and i ended my career in the national guard. tim walz served 24 years honorably, he deployed in operation enduring freedom, he held one of the highest ranked enlisted positions within a unit

that you can hold which is exciting for working class americans. i grew up working class as well, just like tim walz did, and having an enlisted soldier on a presidential ticket, the first time in history is actually a win for the working class. i'm excited about this. his background, his service is nothing but honorable. >> jason crowe, it's good to have you here. we were talking music before. john legend tonight, pink. >> that's my understanding. i'm pumped for it. >> that's going to do it this hour. we'll be back live from chicago tomorrow at 1:00 p.m. eastern. right now, our coverage continues with "katy tur reports" next. ues with "katy tur reports" next. visuals that inspire pride district-wide. ♪♪ fastsigns. make your statement.
