or expand your office and take on whatever comes next. find out how american express cards and services can help prepare you for growth at open.com. what happens after this. >> america is great. >> america is already great. >> they have people that aren't telling the truth about where our country is. >> don't let anyone ever tell you that this country isn't great. >> we are america. second to none. >> they're giving it rose colored glasses. >> he wants to divide us. >> president obama has been the most ignorant president in our history. >> hillary clinton is the woman in the arena. >> hillary clinton has never quit on anything in her life. >> we're going to beat her on
5:01 am
november 8th. >> that's another bet that donald trump will lose. >> from rockefeller center in new york, this is a special edition of politics nation with al sharpton. >> good morning. i'm al sharpton. we start with donald trump's counterpunch. after a historic week for the democrats, the first woman ever nominated by a major party, trump is desperate to slow hillary clinton's momentum. >> you know what, i have been saying -- i have been saying let's just beat her on november 8th. but you know what, i'm starting to agree with you. i don't have to be so nice
5:02 am
anymore. i'm taking the gloves off, right? just remember this, trump is going to be no more mr. nice guy. >> but of course clinton and her running mate have come out swinging with a three day bus tour that takes aim at trump. >> i find it highly amazing he says make america dpraet again. >> the republican convention was a twisted and negative tour. it wasn't a tour through this country. it was a journey through donald trump's mind and that's a frightening place. >> now the race is on. will clinton get a bounce from the convention and can she rally independent with the positive rhetoric we used to hear from
5:03 am
republicans? it's clear whatever donald trump does he does alone. the biggest names in the gop are not behind him. in cleveland some could barely say his name. it's different for clinton. in philly she had the entire party behind her. >> putting the cracks in the highest and hardest glass ceiling. >> one of the smartest, toughest, most tenacious people on this planet. >> hillary clinton must become the next president of the united states. >> the best change maker i ever met in my entire life. >> there has never been a man or a woman, not me, not bill, nobody more qualified than hillary clinton to serve as president of the united states of america.
5:04 am
>> joining me now is hakeem jeffreys. democrat from new york. thank you for being here. >> before we start you had quite the speech at the dnc. i want to play that for my viewers to watch. >> it's a choice between a commander and chief and a bankrupter and chief. it's a choice between the secretary of state and the secretary of hate. donald trump is a bounced check but hillary clinton is money in the bank. >> congressman, it sounds like this race has got you inspired. >> well, i come out of the national action network. it's full of activism so it was an honor and a privilege to have an opportunity to share some thoughts for a few moments at the convention. >> well, you have well. >> clinton exited the convention with low favor blt did she do
5:05 am
enough to address that in this convention? >> i think so. the lead-off hitter was michelle obama. she was phenomenal in talking about what a hillary clinton presidency will mean and how deeply she respects her as an individual and mother and grandmother and certainly as a and somebody that's going to inspire people to be the best they can be in the united states of america and then that one two punch and validate her and talk about her intelligence and warmth and humor as president obama did in the video and also in riz remarks and you had hillary clinton as the clean-up hitter introduced by chelsea clinton and that human sized her again as a mother and
5:06 am
grandmother and did they go too far left to appeal to independents and citizens united and things that bernie sanders has been passionate about and it's important to speak to that group of people to unify the party and to your point we also had to make sure that we were appealing to the independents
5:07 am
and to the moderate voters to suburban women and others that are going to decide this election and michael bloomberg did a great job of speaking to independents and individuals and accomplished a lot in his remarks and denounced donald trump and whether that was the general that spoke in very strong terms as it relates to the view that hillary clinton is the best person to lead the united states of america and help keep us safe. it was a great balancing act but also brought in the potential electorate. >> you mentioned the progressives and supporters of senator sanders. there were boos and some walk out by some of bernie supporters. is this something that mrs. clinton should be concerned about going forward?
5:08 am
>> well, there was some anxiety particularly on monday and it was good to have him speak and he gave a very clear endorsement of secretary clinton and they had begun the work together on a wide variety of issues such as free college education and that began to set a tone i thought that would bring people closer together throughout the duration of the convention. there's still work that needs to be done but as you recall from 2008 it was tense between obama supporters and clinton supporters. we can come together again. >> what do you think trump was thinking? >> that he was in trouble. you have the entire democratic line-up behind secretary clinton
5:09 am
where as on the other side of the aisle you have a situation where you have governors and senators and congress members and former presidents running as far away from donald trump as can happen and former white house communications director for president obamaful thank you for being here. >> oh, thank you for having me. anita you were part of president
5:10 am
obama's historic campaign. what are your thoughts on hillary clinton's historic nomination. >> you know, in 2008 when i worked for then senator obama when he was running for president one of the great things about that year was knowing no matter who won the nomination, this country was going to make history and a really important piece of history i think for anyone who isn't a white man in america. and, you know, barrack obama respected hillary clinton as an opponent and that is something that, you know, primaries are ugly things styles. they certainly get very personal pretty quickly and, you know, we had our share in 2008 but he always respected her and he always felt like, you know, if he lost to her that would be okay because he respected her and, you know, i watch this now in 2016 and anyone around this
5:11 am
hole felt they were part of history again and that's a special thing. you know? kids that were born in the mid 2000s, 2004, 2005, they are growing up. they got to grow up seeing an african american president and now hopefully a woman president and it's going to change america for the better. i just don't know how yet. >> let me go back to what you said that you were part of his 2008 campaign. so you're there for a campaign against mrs. clinton. how do you judge her campaign now in comparison to her campaign in 2008 since you have seen it now from both sides in terms of seeing how she and her campaign operates.
5:12 am
>> in 2008 barrack obama is the right candidate for that moment in america and barrack obama represents real change. hope and change and he would do big things. if you look at big change hillary clinton is now exactly the right candidate for this moment in history. that she is, i think, the person who is by far the best position to continue the progress, continue the change that barrack obama has begun. >> now let me ask you this, it's funny when you say she is the right one for this time.
5:13 am
>> the difference between the conventions when it came to identifying their candidate. at the rnc, donald trump's name was mentioned 386 times. at the dnc, hillary clinton's name was mentioned 915 times. almost three times as much. if you're in the trump campaign how alarming is it that it seems that at your own convention people didn't even want to call your name. >> listen, if you're in the trump campaign you had a convention where one of your primetime speakers didn't want to call your name but refused to endorse you and told peel to go vote their conscious. so very very different conventions though i thought the cleefld convention was like the trump campaign. it was disorganized and it had a strange fascination because you had no idea what was going to happen next and at the democratic convention that just finished in philadelphia, what's reflective not just of the
5:14 am
clinton campaigns, much higher degree of organization and strategy but also with the democratic party. when donald trump said i alone in his acceptance speech last week in cleveland when he said i alone can fix this, you know, you're beginning to -- if it isn't a reflection of the fact that nobody in the republican party is willing to stand next to him. he's going to have to do this stuff alone. think about it, though, you really do have, as you pointed out, an enormous difference. >> thank you so much anita, thank you for your time. have a great sunday. >> hey, thanks for having me on. >> ahead hope versus fear. and selt the stage for the campaigns. also how president obama's speech compares to the best from his own record.

hillary clinton and donald trump are laying out two different issues of america. at the democratic convention speakers focused on the positive. >> america is great because america is good. >> when someone is cruel or acts like a bully you don't stoop to their level. no our motto is when they go low, they two high. >> we are america, second to none and we own the finish line.
5:19 am
>> america is already great. america is already strong. america isn't about yes he will, it's about yes we can. >> but at his convention and again this past week, donald trump's message had a darker tone. >> so much to straighten out in this country and then you wonder why we're going to hell. that's why we're going to hell. >> you look at the joblessness. >> joining me now is elise jordan, msnbc political analyst and former advisor to senator rand paul's campaign and jonathan, msnbc contributor and editorial writer for the washington post. let me thank both of you for being here. >> thanks, rev. >> so jonathan, it's almost like trump and clinton are talking
5:20 am
about two different countries. >> in elections past the ones with the sunnier vision of america is the person that wins and what has been interesting about having gone to cleveland and now just getting back from philadelphia, i think what we have seen is sort of a role reversal where the democratic convention with it's, you know, open displays of patriotism, love of country, national defense and wrapping that around the democratic party's traditional sense of pulling people in and moving forward with everybody pushing the country forward. those are some of the things you used to hear traditionally at republican conventions and what i like most and it's the love of
5:21 am
country which is a holy owned subsidiary of the republican party and democrats got to show the nation for the first time in my lifetime that they too share this vision of america and shared that love of country. >> i want to hold you right there a minute. because i think that that's a point we need to drill down on a little. at least let me go to president obama's speech for example. president obama's speech had positive reactions even from republicans. let me play some of it. >> the america i know is full of courage and optimism and ingenuity. we the people can form a more perfect union. that's who we are. that's what drove patriots to choose revolution over tyranny and our gi's to liberate a continent. reagan called america a shining city on a hill. donald trump calls it a divided
5:22 am
crime scene that only he can fix. >> so elise, back to jonathan's point, optimism, patriotism, was the president reclaiming that kind of language for democrats? >> i think the president did a masterful job of welcoming republicans that aren't sold on trump into the democratic party and balanced a fine line of still being a dell cat and still showing bernie sanders supporters that the democratic party is there for them too but he really brought in that this is about patriotism and this is about hope and this is about a united country. but will republicans repelled by trump, will they actually vote for clinton or will they just stay home? >> what i'm hearing from a lot of republicans is voting for gary johnson or in swing states, but in swing states republicans who are strongly opposed to
5:23 am
clinton in a normal year are thinking our vote is so important can we risk letting donald trump get ahold of the nuclear codes. >> jonathan, you know mr. trump on thursday said that the president's vision was misguided. he tweeted quote, president obama spoke last night about a world that doesn't exist. 70% of the people think our country is going in the wrong direction. he is actually right about that number. how can clinton speak to those concerns while keeping a positive message? >> she is going to have to figure that out. the fact that 70% of the american people think that the country is going in the wrong direction, it requires a leader to show that 70% that yes, i hear you, i understand where that concern of fear is coming from but as president of the united states, here is how i am
5:24 am
going to lead you, lead the nation into feeling better about where the country is going. and the only way that that can happen and the message coming out of cleveland and philadelphia and the message out of cleveland is 70% and only i can fix it. and everything is terrible and it's going to stay terrible unless you elect me where as the message coming out of philadelphia is yes i hear you. there are problems but together as a nation if we work together and ban together we can change the direction that you think that the country is going in because the fundamentals of the country, whether it's the economy, public safety, you name it, the fundamentals are there to push forward. we just have to ban together to do it. >> this gloom and doom message, will this stick to the gop or
5:25 am
does it just go away. >> if trump loses there's going to be a huge reckoning. right now i think that's where the numbers are looking and those political careers are going to be plateaued because he's not the future of this country and certainly not of the republican party. >> stay with me. >> coming up, the first lady's powerful statement about slavery and the misguided reaction on the right. and did respect obama out shine even himself? we see how his dnc speech compares to the greatest from his past. >> there's not a liberal america and a conservative america. there is the united states of america. there is not a black america, and a white america, and latino america and asian america,

5:30 am
unconvinced by the true rating for her white house claim. they just couldn't believe it or didn't want to. other people and here are bill o'reilly on fox news. >> slaves were well fed and had descent lodgings provided by the government which stopped hiring slave labor in 1802 however the feds did not forbid subcontractors. so michelle obama is essentially correct as citing slaves as builders of the white house but there were others working as well. >> many pointed out that you don't hire slaves and that it's strange to talk about being quote, well fed or descent lodging in the context of this kind of atrocity.
5:31 am
he is entitled to his own opinion but maybe he should have listened more to the first lady. i'm talking about first lady abigail adams when she and president adams moved into the white house in 1800, it still wasn't finished in and in a letter to a friend she wrote, quote, the effects of slavery are visible everywhere. adams went on to describe the slaves as quote, half fed and destitute of clothing. it's true. you can look up the letter at the national archives. we all know that o'reilly likes to write history books but maybe he should read a few more too. nice try. but we got you. 300,000 miles. or here, when you walked away without a scratch. maybe it was the day your baby came home. or maybe the day you realized your baby

5:35 am
>> democrats made sure to give bernie sanders his due at their convention and he gave hillary clinton a national endorsement. but he also said he is returning to the senate as an independent, not a democrat. a decision that is raising some eyebrows. >> i was elected as an independent so i'll stay two years more as an independent. >> after all sanders became a democrat to be in their primary and to be in their debates but now he is leaving the party. as exactly what his campaign manager promised he would not do just a few moments ago. >> if senator sanders is not the mom knee will he stay in the democratic party forever now? >> he said he's a democrat and he'll be a democratic nominee. >> but he's a member of the
5:36 am
democratic party now for life? >> yes he is. >> in this campaign sanders brought valuable focus to issues like income inequality and poverty. and it makes you wonder what others talk of party unity is all about. let's bring back elise jordan and jonathan. how about bernie sanders decision to go back as an independent. >> i can imagine there's a lot of democrats probably scratching their heads but look it's interesting. >> maybe feeling a different bern. >> absolutely. they're feeling burned i think. that sound bite you just played, i had not heard that before because i was wondering when the announcement was made that senator sanders had officially changed his registration from independent to democrat so when the announcement was made or when he gave the interview
5:37 am
saying that he would remain an independent that didn't come as a surprise to me. if senator sanders really wanted to be a member of the democratic party he would have switched his registration and also have raised money for the democratic national committee and he would have registered those thousands of people that showed up to his rallies all over the country. he would have registered them as democrats. >> but doesn't that raise the question elise, he ran in the democratic primary and used their stage, their infrastructure and put it out there and his campaign manager said he is a democrat and democrat for life which now ends up being something else and you look at that and you look at how some of his supporters wouldn't even follow his support to mrs. clinton. does this become a problem for him in the senate? and does it seem like he lost control of some of his supporters. >> i don't think it's a problem
5:38 am
for him in the senate. he is bernie sanders. the ultimate vermont senator. he is known as an independent. that's part of the problem of crying to run as a democrat and not getting the support he should have from the dnc. you look at what happened at the democratic convention this week and it was despite all the animosity in the party people did come together. hillary clinton let bernie sanders have his night. the supporters were able to air their grievances and it played much better than at the republican convention when never trump supporters weren't able to air their concerns and then the same thing happened in 2012 with ron paul supporters and arguably layed the ground work for the mess we have today in the republican party. >> quickly, jonathan, will bernie sanders supporters end upcoming home to the democratic party or for some that's not homecoming to support hillary clinton? >> look, 90% of the people that said they supported bernie
5:39 am
sanders said they're going to vote for hillary clinton so a majority of them are already home. >> elise, jordan, jonathan, thank you for being here. >> thank you. >> still to come, how president obama compares to himself when it comes to his big dnc speech. >> what greater expression of faith in the american experiment than this? what greater form of patriotism is there? than the belief that america is not yet finished. that we are strong enough to be self-critical. ♪ using 60,000 points from my chase ink card i bought all the framework... wire... and plants needed to give my shop... a face... no one will forget.

hillary clinton, my daughter and all of our sons and daughters now take for granted that a woman can be president of the united states. >> the first lay giving the speech of her life at the democratic convention. >> we're not fragile people. we're not a frightful people. our power done come from some self-declared savior promising that he alone can restore order as long as we do things his way. we don't look to be ruled. the american dream is something that no one will ever contain. >> the president delivering a powerful rebuke of donald trump. >> what makes us american, what makes us patriots, is what is in

5:45 am
first, thanks for being here. >> my pleasure. >> how does the president's speech compare from his own record. >> i thought it was right up there in the great obama speeches. it was great for two reasons. first of all, without effort, he seamlessly linked the candidacy of hillary clinton to his own presidential quest to the values and goals that he has been pursuing and secondly you mention the other speeches. this speech is great because it harkened back to earlier speeches. the 2004 speech told his personal story and linked that personal story to the promise of america. and his own race.
5:46 am
white and black americans might have anger but we have to transcend that find a way of finding common ground. >> is there a common thread or common theme with all of his great speeches? >> i think there is a common theme. and the common theme and there's enormous promise. america is a great nation but there's still a lot of work to be done. that the vigilance that gives us freedom and civil liberties and security is never completed. we have to keep working at it and we can't do it alone. we can have, you know, some personality come in and say i'm going to solve everything. it's going to take a common effort of all americans and obama has admitted he hasn't transcended the political divide. that's been one of the great themes of his presidency. >> now let me ask you something a little different. i want to play a very personal
5:47 am
moment from the first lady's speech. listen to this. >> i will never forget that winter morning as i watched our girls, just 7 and 10 years old pile into the black suvs with all those big men with guns. and i saw their little faces pressed up against the window. at that moment i realized that our time in the white house would form the foundation for who they would become and howell we managed this experience could truly make or break them. >> i mean, watching her, could she follow her husband's footsteps and go into politics? i mean, we now have a precedent of first ladies going into politics? >> hey, we have two precedents now. an african american president and the first woman nominee of a major party. isn't michelle the natural recipient of both of those two extraordinary break through
