cuts which the basic premise is, cutting taxes for the wealthy, give rise to economic gain, and gain will trickle down if you will, and the evidence over the last four years it has just the opposite. that the gains have trickled up not trickled down. and i think those two elements of the -- of reagan's policy myth have eroded faith in government and ultimately given rise to the election of donald trump. >> that's all the time we have for this hour. thank you for spending part of your sunday with us. join us again tomorrow morning 6:00 a.m. eastern ready for a brand new week. >> always ready. >> bright and early. >> i was. >> joe will have bells on. >> i was born ready. >> enjoy the rest of your weekend.

mitch landrieu joins us to discuss the momentum to action. speaking with the convention three standout dnc speakers are with us this morning, congresswoman, jasmine crockett and michigan attorney general, dan nessel. plus someone who knows governor, tim walz best. attorney general, keith ellison. there's a lot to get you this morning about breaking news out of israel, welcome to the weekend. we start with the breaking news in the middle east. overnight, israel launched, what it calls preemptive strikes on hezbollah targets in lebanon. israel says it carried out this aerosol, after it learned of a planned large-scale attack in

retaliation for the assassination of a top hezbollah commander last month. now, hezbollah and iran backed militia group returned fire with hundreds of rockets and drones. this new video from northern israel shows damage from hezbollah's assault. you can see a hole in the ceiling inside a house and glass shattered. and this video, which has been verified, by nbc news, shows the moment israeli forces intercepted a drone, from hezbollah. joining us now, live, from tel aviv, is nbc news international correspondent, matt bradley, and nbc news white house correspondent joining us from the white house, aaron gilchrist. matt, let me start with you, what we know at this hour? >> reporter: yeah, this is a situation we haven't necessarily seen the end of, both sides, hezbollah and israel are both making noises like this is over, like this was the main strike, this was hezbollah's retaliation for the assassination of a leader in

hezbollah back last month in beirut. his name was fuwad shukur. he bowed to retaliate. this was it. you mentioned a preemptive strike by israelis, so they got wind which led them to believe that israel was going to be launching this strike. so, they launched first. hezbollah then launched what they said was 320 rockets, now, that is kind of important, because those rockets, they are almost vintage, those once they used to great effect, back in 2006, in that last big war between hezbollah and israel. we know, the cia knows and other analyst know that has a lot has more sophisticated weapons, as many as 150,000 projectiles that they could be using. they didn't. and that means they haven't used their full arsenal. there could be more to come, but they have sent out messages celebrating that they have

completed their task and now we are seeing that the israelis are climbing down from their higher alert levels in the north of israel and it looks as though all sides are, you know, putting their swords in their sheets and kind of stepping away from this, it looks like this was a face-saving measure, so that hezbollah could kind of say we retaliated against the israelis, the israelis could say they defended themselves and everybody could go back home with a huge without a huge loss of life, or more importantly, without breaking off a more regionwide war that could engulf the entire middle east and possibly bring in the united dates. we are still set to hear from secretary-general of hezbollah, set to deliver a speech from lebanon. he normally delivers it from a closed video from a secret location. is likely to celebrate what hezbollah has described as a decisive victory. his statements even went so far as to deny-- it does say that

the israelis were lying when they said that they had launched a preemptive strike, saying that they were the ones who came out in this offensive first, so it looks as though hezbollah is determined to posture and say that they were the ones who inflicted a devastating blow against the israelis in retaliation for this assassination of one of their leaders last month. that means-- that could mean that this is all over. simone? >> aaron gilchrist, the national security council, putting at the statement last night, saying, president biden is closely monitoring events in israel and lebanon, going on to say we will keep supporting israel's right to defend itself, what are you hearing from the white house? >> alicia, we know that president biden is on a family trip in california right now, but we did get that statement overnight from the national security council, saying the president is being kept up to speed, that he had been talking to his national security team through the evening and that at the president's direction, senior u.s. officials had been continuously communicating with their israeli counterparts. as

you noted, the statement that was released overnight also went on to say that the u.s. will continue to support israel's right to defend itself and will keep working for regional stability in that area. the president, of course, troubles with staff who are able to constantly update him on what is going on. we also heard from the pentagon overnight sink secretary of defense lloyd austin also being engaged in what was happening, as he was interacting with his israeli defense under part there, talking about israel defending itself against hezbollah attacks. so, we anticipate that this morning we will likely get an update on what level of engagement the white house has had, in terms of communication. president biden is slated to come back to the east coast tonight. these supposed to go to one of his homes in delaware and obviously he will keep in contact with staff in the air as he is traveling, and prior to that as well. >> matt, before we let you both go, there are negotiations

supposed to be picking back up today in cairo. for the cease-fire, impending cease-fire deal between the israelis and hamas. do we know if this strike, this preemptive strike this saving face measure, is this going to affect the negotiations at all? the president continues to say that negotiations are going well and he's optimistic, but yet we do not have a deal. >> yeah, we don't have a deal yet and there's a lot of pessimism surrounding the steel, the israelis, said they just sent their delegation to cairo, up until now, there's been a lot of pessimism surrounding this, as there has been since the last successful deal that was broken back in november. so, when we are talking about this deal, we are not just talking about bringing peace to the gaza strip and freeing those remaining hostages in gaza, we are also talking about something that could settle or appease a lot of the anxieties that could lead to a broader war throughout the entire

region, what we are seeing now over strikes with borders between lebanon and the israelis. but we are still waiting for one more shoe to drop. whether or not iran, which has vowed to retaliate for an assassination of a high level hamas official in tehran last month just hours after that assassination, a high level hezbollah official, we are still waiting to see whether the iranians are going to be launching their own retaliatory attack i spoke with an israeli official today, who said the thinking here in israel among the security establishment is that the iranians are going to wait to see how these negotiations go before they launch their own, possibly more dangerous, more inflammatory attack against the israelis that for once-- four weeks there is speculation that that would be much more fierce and much more deadly than whatever hezbollah was going to do, because it could involve bigger weapons from a longer distance,

we don't really know, but that is how those negotiations could be affected. the fact that it looks like hezbollah has struck and it wasn't so bad, there wasn't much damage, it was contained, that does lift a lot of the real, you know, bracing concern around these negotiations that if they were to fail, the entire region could just going to war. it doesn't look as though that is still necessarily the chief anxiety, but we ought to remember the real anxiety around these negotiations is bringing peace to the gaza strip and freeing those hostages. >> nbc's matt bradley in tel aviv, aaron gilchrist for us the white house, thank you both very, very much. will continue to monitor the situation. we are going to shift gears though, next, as the harris- walls campaign looks to maintain that momentum coming out of the democratic national convention, and campaign cochair, mitch landrieu joins us to discuss it all next.

there are 72 days until the 2024 election in 22 days until early voting begins in pennsylvania, and democrats, they are turning convention enthusiasm interaction. breaking this morning, in a new memo the harris-walz campaign has says it has raised $540 million, since lunch, little more than a month ago. that is a new record for any campaign in history. the campaign also saw nearly 200,000 volunteer since the start of the dnc on monday. joining us now, mitch landrieu , national cochair of the harris-walz campaign. thank you. >> good morning mr. maher. i am looking at this memo that alicia was noticing from. who noted that the convention marked your biggest week of organizing, since the start of the campaign. volunteers signed up for nearly 200,000 shift, since monday. as you noted, i mean, this momentum, it seems as though

you are turning this momentum into action and using the infrastructure. are you ready for early voting? >> 100%. you know, last week was an incredible week. you haven't seen something like that in a long time. and it was a new way in which she introduced herself and basically said i am you, we capture the flag. but, we said no matter how excited everybody is, we have a close race and as you know, we have been organizing really aggressively, and as a consequence you are seeing this great surge of enthusiasm. so, when you look at this fundraising numbers, 540 million is a lot by any measurement 200,000 volunteers, the idea now is to put it to work. the good news is we have a structure around which we can put that work that we have been building for the last, you know, couple of months, so we have got to get out of there,

the vice president and of course, governor walz is crisscrossing the country, thousands of volunteers need to get out there and knock on doors, you can't take anything for granted, so, 31 days ago when she came into this race she started going like this and now it is like a rocket ship, but you have to keep putting the pedal to the metal shoulder to the wheel, nobody should be convinced of any other thing than this is going to be a very close election a goal line decision and we have got to get everybody to the polls. >> i also thought the breakdown of those numbers were interesting. a third of this week's donations originated from first- time contributors, almost 1/5 of those first-time contributors were young voters, two thirds of which were women, teachers and nurses continue to be among the most common donor occupations, what does that tell you, mr. mayor, about what a harris-walz coalition is going to look like? >> well, yes, first of all this is not complicated. elections are about addition, not subtraction, they are about including people, not excluding people.

the team basically said if you don't look like us, talk like us, act like us, think like us we don't have anything to do with you, please stay away. what the vice president has done is said, i'm going to be the vice president for everybody, we want to reject, so, what you see in the numbers is us succeeding in adding to the number of people, and the groups of people that have come before us, but at the end of the day, the message, and michelle obama delivered this is, do something, get out, talk to a friend, call somebody, do whatever you think you can do to make sure that the future comes and does not stymied by donald trump and his really kind of dark view of what america is. >> next week, mr. mayor, the vice president and governor walz mac will be out on the campaign trail. they are going to georgia, and i hear that they are going to georgia together, the vice president will then do a separate event in havana. we also have reporting that notes soon the vice president and governor walz will sit for a joint interview, is that

joint interview happening this week on that bus tour in georgia? >> you know, i don't know the answer to that question. i have no reason to believe that at some point it will not. you will see both of these people who have been very energetic doing great stuff together and doing it separately. but they have been crisscrossing the country talking to voters directly, and at some point, tom, i don't know if it will be this week or not, but i know it will happen. >> seeing it georgia's historic investment that the campaign is making in georgia is the campaign committed to carrying georgia? >> 100%. you saw on the previous show, jason carter was on, who is president carter's grandson, as you know, and during the convention, passing the torch to the next generation of leaders, jason was on. we also had john f. kennedy's grandson on, but focused on georgia, they got new energy, with the vice president took over. senator warnock, as you know, gave an incredible speech at the convention and set it off there as well. with a bunch of other folks. we really think we have a

chance to win in georgia and they will compete there in a very hard way. donald trump will have to defend every ounce of america. >> mr. mayor i was really struck during the convention there were a lot of, maybe unlikely voices, folks didn't think they would see on the stage, and, who stood out to me was dl huguely, and dl huguely was a comedian, for those of you who don't know. he has actually been-- he has done prior events with the vice president, specifically on horror -- i think it was an opportunity tour, talking about economic opportunity, black businesses and so forth. and he has stolen the stage and talked about how he said things about the vice president in the past and that he did his research, and now feels differently. it struck me that that the was very intentional programming from a convention perspective can you tell me a little bit more about that? >> well, as you know, with the vice president took office, people didn't really give her much of a chance and for the first couple of years they kind

of dr. out and made up stories about her and they didn't really know who she was, the entire time, she was out there, really covering her bit basis, doing the things she was supposed to be doing. people were surprised that she's so fantastic, she has always been that good, and so i think her and some other people early on were really maybe not paying attention to the details and maybe now again, here's what we have. we got the facts, we got the receipts and once you show them the receipts, 16 million jobs, when you show them who is getting the job, the record number of applications especially for small, african- american businesses, all of those things actually turn people, and what i like that dl said, is i didn't look hard enough and now i like what i see, but the thing i like most about what he said is he confronted donald trump's racism relating to the vice president and said she has been black longer than he's been a republican, i kind of stopped when she said that, because it is true right?

>> she's been black her whole life and donald trump recently became a republican in the last two years. >> truer words have never been spoken. rfk's endorsement of donald trump, how are you factoring this? >> not really, i don't think it means much at all. as i mentioned earlier, jack schlossberg, who is john f. kennedy's grandson of the entire kennedy family except for glenn has indicated that please don't think he is really representing the heart, the mind where the values of robert kennedy or john f. kennedy. he just does not. and he didn't have much of a following before of course every vote matters, you know, you want to have everybody, you can't get everybody, but from my perspective, the vice president and tim walz are doing great and i don't think it is much of anything to be honest with you. >> are you concerned about any of the third-party threats? while rfk is out, dr. west is

still in, jill stein. i mean, there are many people who are trying to gain ballot access and in key battleground states. >> i don't want anybody to think that i don't care about everything. every vote matters, and every bout that is siphoned off of the vice president is actually in favor of donald trump, so i want people to know about that, but in terms of a major groundswell and being able to move a lot of voters over, but you know this is going to be a game of numbers, so everything counts. >> national cochair of the harris-walz coping thank you for being with us. ahead, how kamala harris has led for history making presidential nomination. you are watching the weekend. the c. jen x is planning a summer in portugal with some help from j.p. morgan wealth plan. let's go whiskers. jen y is working with a banker to budget for her birthday. you only turn 30 once. and jen z? her credit's golden. hello new apartment. three jens getting ahead with chase. solutions that grow with you.

after hillary clinton framed her campaign around shattering the highest artist glass ceiling, harris has led the history making potential of her candidacy speak for itself following a golden rule is storytelling, show, don't tell. joining us now to discuss morris princeton university professor, eddie clark, democratic strategist at columbia city professor, both are nbc political analysts. >> there were social experiments you can do across cultures where you tell people, close your eyes and imagine a leader, then they have both brought down on a piece of paper what that leader looks like. the majority of people draw a man. even people who do it so that it is not clear the gender of the person, ultimately use male pronouns to describe that leader. kamala harris understands what she is up against, she understands that, in the popular imagination, not just here the united states, but globally, when we think of leaders, we think of, instead of telling us that that should not be the case, she stood up on thursday night and showed us that there is an alternative.

>> first of all, it is such a wonderful-- thank you for having me on the weekend, so, yes, on so many levels that is true. and on another level she has history behind her. right? we have already had the first, barack obama, the first black president, we've already had hillary clinton, shattering the glass ceiling in terms of the first woman running for a major political party, so those pathbreaking moments have happened, so, it is kind of redundant, in order to repeat, although she stands on the cusp of the presidency, so she doesn't mean to say that, plus there is a sense in which, what is the point in billboard in one's identity and this is this right? just show it, just be who you are and be who you are in the strongest, most compelling way. and that is a sign that, perhaps we may be moving into a space where the sorts of identity questions can become like oxygen, we are who we are, you can bring the fullness of who we are into anyone >> i think that is a good point

, perhaps this is a moment where we are moving, but also think about the fact that donald trump is out here trying to police's blackness, and it just gives me the side i. i think some of this has to do with the fact that vice president harris has been the first or just about the first and all of the other things she's done. so this is not new for her, if you will, basil. she was the first woman, first woman of color da in san francisco, first woman, first black woman attorney general in california and only the second black woman at the time to have served in the united senate, and obviously the first woman of color, so at this point it is like okay, we have a model for what we do when we are the first you see it like that? >> i do, and to eddie's point i think we have come a long way. late 80s, 90s, you saw a lot of african-american candidates for mayor, for example for statewide office, they might

not talk as much about their race and in many ways design policies that would be race neutral because there was his attempt support race and ethnicity in class, but slowly but surely, going back even before that, but certainly since then there have been all of these opportunities and occasions, where that ceiling gets broken, and chipping away at if you will, but i want to also say this, you know, if you remember barack obama, 2007, 2008, there's a lot of ways he did not talk about it, and he talked he got attacked for that. they have called him and they will subsequently call kamala harris everything but a child of god, so even though she may not put forth race and identity in the ways that that maybe some would want her to do, or if she does it in ways that sort of-- i think more symbolize

and pronounce, publicly who she is in terms of her identity, just to be clear that, on the right, those attacks are going to come no matter what she does. >> to state the obvious, harris is not the only candidate on that date with a race and gender, i think tim walz is also offering us an expansive definition of what masculinity can look like in this moment, in our politics, where donald trump has put that question so front and enter. i want you to take a listen to something the governor said. this is about being a good neighbor. >> that family down the road, they may not think like you do. they may not pray like you do. they may not love like you do, but they are your neighbors. and you look out for them, and they look out for you. everybody belongs.

>> i would argue that that is a more expansive definition of masculinity masculinity, where you want to be able to provide for their family so they want to keep their family safe and i think part of what the governor is saying is we need to protect the community, we need to protect behold your neighbor as a person who needs protection and so, in that way, to me, it is a call to that sensibility, but with a larger umbrella. >> alicia, that is a really interesting point. i think the common good has a challenge to patriarch, so, we need to understand that white supremacy and patriarchy still operate in this country, in relation to what we were talking about with kamala harris, i think it is really clear that the precondition for our entry into certain spaces isn't all engines, isn't making our face link, in order to make people comfortable. we have to bring the fullness of who we are into the room and then question, the underlying assumption of patriarchy, that

women must have their place and men must have their place right? in the name of a common good that we all share a certain set of underlying values, where, no matter our gender, no matter who we love, it shouldn't undermine right? basic understanding, basic assumptions about what we all share as americans. that seems to me to be a powerful point, but we need to name it, explicitly. what does it mean to revoke the common good and challenge the underlying assumptions of patriarchy? that is the first and second thing is, we shouldn't have to wash our faces blank in order to gain entry into certain spaces. we can bring the fullness of our experience, who we are, the challenges of our history into a room. >> that is such an important point. i mean, i think about this campaign to alicia's point, the two candidates on the democratic side of the aisle i feel like they are literally the living embodiment of that they are trying to actively demonstrate that.

the vice president, just in her speech, you know, she talked about her mother, who was a brown woman with an accent. she talked about her father and how they met, how she grew up, her community in the bay. and you had tim walz talking about being the son of nebraska, and just how they-- how they are presenting, and then you have got the second gentleman, basil, and it strikes me that, in this conversation about masculinity and the patriarchy, if you will, america is on the cusp of, yes, electing the first woman president of the united states with first commander in chief, but we will also have the first gentleman, we already had the second gentleman of the united states, and if this convention had any one of the underlying displays of this convention, where, you know, men who had, you know, amazing wives, but barack obama, and michelle obama, and obviously doug imhoff, but those

men, the greatness of their partner did not mean that they were any less than, you know? doug imhoff, the second gentleman, amazing in his own right, leading and working on anti-semitism. and this administration, and i think it is frankly, just a peek of what would happen if, in fact he were to become the first gentleman. >> if you think about normalizing what that means just go from state to state, here in new york states around the country, where you see women in leadership roles, whether it is in the senate, attorneys general or governors. so, the more that we can normalize what it looks like to see women in positions of power , you know, it goes a long way to be able to say yes, i can vote for a woman to be president of the united states and i said from the very beginning when joe biden stepped down and kamala harris

assumed the top of the ticket that the biggest threat to her wasn't any of her policies, it wasn't even going to be her campaign, it was going to be whether or not people believed that this indian-jamaican woman could be president of the united states, being able to go against our normal inherent stereotypes and i saw that a lot with hillary clinton, i was debating someone on another network at one point, when she was first running for president and the republican on the other side said well, why should she run for president? she has got grandkids, she has got to stay home and take care of her family. and i said did you ever say that to a man? would you say that to john mccain, because we can see how those-- as we were saying earlier, though stereotypes of leadership come into play and the biggest challenge for voters is being able to push back against though stereotypes. >> and i log loved this from doug emhoff in that speech,

black caucus in nevada, i will note he is what the congressional committee has called a frontline member. and he is one of the races to watch this cycle. >> congressman, good to see you. okay, nevada notoriously difficult to pull, notoriously late deciders, understanding all of that, let's look at some of the most recent polling we have got out of your state. this is a times c a pole. you have a nevada, donald trump, 48%, kamala harris, 47%, you know, the margin of error, plus or -4.4, really a dead heat here. this is significant though, because when it was biden at the top of the ticket you had the trump campaign saying goodbye. democrats have conceded this state, that might have been an overstatement, but it was certainly way more play now. talk to me about what it is going to take for the harris- walz ticket to win your seat.

>> well, first of all, they are doing the work. the vice president, kamala harris, has been to nevada seven times this year, the rally that you are referring to along with governor walz was an indication of the enthusiasm, the excitement that we have directly on the ground, we have seen more than 300 volunteers sign-ups since the conventional loan in nevada, and that is reflective of what is happening in the battlegrounds. now, donald trump doesn't know anything about the workers in nevada. in fact, this whole issue of not taxing tips, because tips is a gift, it is not a guarantee , is really, fundamentally, about raising the wage of workers. someone needs to ask donald trump, does he support increasing the wage for workers, which is as low as $2.13 for some hospitality workers in this country. that is unconscionable that we would expect workers to live on

$2.13 an hour. he didn't stand up for workers when he was an employer. he is not standing up for workers now, and that is why he cannot be president of the united dates. >> congressman can we just drill down more on this tax on tips situation, because when donald trump first started talking about this issue some folks said that's just a throw away, he is saying things. and i said no, he's not just saying stuff, this is something that, if you talk to, not just in nevada, but working-class, people who work in the service industry across the country, this is something that it is important, it is also important to owners and operators okay? because many of these folks are small businesses if we are talking about restaurants. i think that the vice president's policy is good policy but also good politics. just, why is this tax on tips such an issue, because we are hearing about it in nevada and we can just break it down for people who probably don't know. >> it is really about the vice

president's opportunity agenda. opportunity economy that works for everyone. today in america there are more than 6 million workers, 70% of whom are women and people of color who work in jobs that pay as little as $2.13 an hour. no one can live on $2.13 an hour. fortunately, nevada is the gold standard. we pay hot higher than the federal minimum wage and because of that our workers excel, but that is because we have unions that fight for workers, like the culinary workers union, but all over the country this is an issue. the vice president, kamala harris, understand that. that is why she supports raising the rates for workers and eliminating this tax on tips, because tips are not a guarantee. you can't live off of someone's gift.

you can't pay the rent off of someone's gift. so i commend kamala harris for coming out with a balanced approach, with that increases the wage and addresses this issue that attacks, it is a gift, not a guarantee and therefore should not be taxed. i will be introducing legislation in september that mirrors the work that the vice president, her position on this issue, but beyond that, she is also fighting to pass a child tax credit of $6000, which helps families. she is focused on building 3 million new homes. that will drive down the cost of rent and make housing more affordable. she is focused on helping more small businesses and entrepreneurs. 16 million businesses, created in the last three years, with her as a governing partner, but now we have got to make sure that those businesses xl, that they actually thrive, that they grow. at the same time that there are

forces trying to take away the tools of opportunity you have kamala harris, who is fighting for an opportunity economy that works for everyone, not just the billionaires and the ultra- wealthy. ngressman, i want to ask you to put your cbc hat on, understanding that you never take it off. listen to this new radio ad, it types the president's record of writing for black americans. >> standing up for everyday americans is at the very foundation for what kamala harris is, raised in a middle- class home with a working mother, with a passion for justice and equality, that is why when kamala harris became district attorney, she stood up for our kids, keeping us safe by prosecuting sex offenders. she also hired a program to give nonresident drug offenders a second chance. as president, kamala harris will continue to fight for everyday americans. >> you pare that out with news from nbc that the harris-walz campaign is also targeting

asian americans in battleground states, including your own, arizona, and georgia. latino voters are going to be critical in your state. your sense of the multiracial coalition this campaign is going to need to put together in order to win a state like nevada. >> thank you so much for raising this, because we do live in a multiracial, multigenerational society. this is what donald trump and the mega republicans fear, they fear the future. well, guess what? we are not going back. we are moving forward, and there's a new path forward with kamala harris. but we also have to recognize that we have to win up and down the ballot, we have to win the house, we have to make hakeem jeffries the next speaker and make sure that we have diversity in all of our key positions, in the senate and in the house. now, in nevada in particular, i'm so proud, because we have a strong coalition of latino voters, native american voters, they are more engaged and are working to make sure that we

turn out every single vote, as well as union households that are across every ethnic and racial background, and they understand that this is about our future, it is not about one person and one office, this is about all of us and what it is we are fighting for, and it is our future, our children's future, and the opportunity to have an economy that works for everyone. donald trump is only focused on one person, himself. kamala harris is focused on the american people, she is focused on all of us. >> congressman, what a treat to have you in studio, thank you so much for being with us. up next, the democratic national convention shines a bright spotlight on the talented the party. one of those stars is michigan congressman and senate candidate, elissa slotkin who will be talking with us next hour. you are watching the weekend.

the democratic national convention was more than just a showcase for vice president, kamala harris. it was also a chance to spotlight the party's growing deep bench of talent. more than 20 million people to do each night on television, outpacing the rnc. the blockbuster television event put eyes on rising stars in the house of representatives. >> vice president harris understands our strength abroad is inextricably linked to our strength here at home. our schools, a strong middle class, and the health of our democracy. >> fighting the climate crisis is patriotic, and unlike donald trump, our patriotism is more than some slogan on a hat, it is about actually giving a about the people who live in this country. >> well, donald trump wants to put our 1787 constitution through his project 2025 paper shredder and make every day january 6th. , lane harris is fighting to

fulfill the promise of america. >> alicia, that was just a sliver of the bench. i think we have another one, folks. let's play it, more democratic stalwarts. >> i believe in a better politics, one that binds us at our most decent and open and brave. >> like women across america, we just gsd, get stuff done. >> for us to prove what americans can do when the pressure is on. >> are you ready for bright hope? are you ready to fight for our freedom? >> now, you know big gretch knows it is not stuff. >> i was watching on my phone and it was on tv and when she cannot and she was like they call me big gretch to these

women in the restaurant were like, not the little one, so, these democrat-- the democratic party has a bench, and if you just look at the rnc stage, the contrast couldn't be clearer. donald trump had to put his sons on at primetime, because those were-- those were the rising stars. >> that is what happens when you build the personality. which is that-- but it is all part and parcel simone. they do not have a future vision of their party, right? they do not have a sense of a post donald trump ideologically, policy buys are leader wise. and that is part, as you know, of why he chose jd vance, because jd vance was going to be willing to carry his water. jd vance was it not going to be his own man, he was going to be an extension, not only of donald trump, but if trump is him. so, it is about talent, it is about that these people are all

incredibly talented orators. but it is also about the fact that there is a vision for what this country and what their party will look like. >> well, and that is a real issue for the republican party apparatus at-large going forward. i mean, jd vance was the heritage foundation candidate. to be very clear, governor roberts said so himself. he is going to help institutionalize trump's them, if you will, which means that long after donald trump is gone, the ideology, a number of the policies of the approach will still be here. i think that this, our democracy really does need, at least two, thriving political parties, and the fact that the republican party apparatus seems to be on life support, it is now a cult of personality, i think you said that accurately, it is a cult of personality right now. it does not bode well for the future of our democracy. so, republicans need to get it together. >> our one republican friend needed to vacation.
