welcome back to "the weekend." brand-new details president biden's reshaped role of the democratic national convention now that he is no longer at the top of the ticket. the president spending this weekend at camp david, fine- tuning a speech he is set to deliver on monday. that is day one of the dnc convention in chicago. multiple say that it will outline the stakes of this election. he will focus on donald trump's threat to american democracy and at the same time he will build the case for his vice president, kamala harris. biden is, quote, please debt the momentum behind the campaign. joining me now is allison gill and latifah simon. go ahead. she is worked for vice president harris when she was

san francisco district attorney. welcome to you both. >> what you think it is at the need to hear? >> i think is a lot of the same. it is like the oval office address and he is passing the torch wants to step aside. that is one of the most patriotic things i have seen a president in my lifetime do. to show that they will pass the torch and she will continue the last three and half years of work at the biden administration has been so successful at. >> it is a book and. she is a continuation of the legacy of president obama and president biden and she's her own person and this is generationally a turning of the pages. she's one month shy of being gen x. and very much is a new generation coming to power. >> coming to power on the national and international stage, but, lateefah simon knows because you worked with the vice president when she

was the first woman elected district attorney in san francisco and elected with the attorney general before the united states senate. lateefah, i've been struck with the stories and people who are like kamala harris would have to -- she's not saying a but the people the stories are saying up at you run away from the biden agenda. she's a sitting vice president of the united states as though she does not understand the stakes of this election. as though she has not worked intimately with joe biden for what is -- joe biden will be recorded as one of the great presidents when the history of our country is written. he will be recorded as one of the greatest's presidents. break it down for me. >> i watched -- good morning, symone, by the way. watching some of the coverage as they are laying out who they

think kamala harris is, you too have worked for her. she is clear and loyal to the american people and as someone who was raised by a working single mother, there is not a.that she is not going to.and a t that is not going to be crossed as it is related to the working class of the united states of america. i am clear, as a mother myself, as a single mother, that my children, under a kamala harris administration, will get the right to choose and i have two daughters and i'm also clear, symone, my youngest daughter, who her father died of cancer when she was 3 years old, in a kamala harris and ministration, we will not see the taking of the social safety net of social security. children of dead parents, the elderly and disabled, will have a social safety net in a harris administration. i am clear and i hope the american public can come along with us and be clear as well.

>> to both of the points made so far, there is a legitimacy, if you will, allison, of this idea of people finding out who harris is and the connection that she has to the president. notwithstanding her earlier service as attorney general. there is also the fact that she has to define herself and there will be, and i think people should not pretend otherwise, some important separation between her and joe biden. because she is her own person and she does have her own idea of how she wants to govern as president of the united states. there is going to be that. we have sourcing on the dnc from biden officials that have been saying noting, quote, four years ago america was reeling from a once in a century

pandemic. today, we are a global engine of growth, our alliances are strong, violent crime rate is at a 50 are low, border crossings are lower than with the previous ministration left office, and we are making progress on the issues americans care about. was important to note is that a lot of them believe that the convention will continue to highlight the biden/harris record, okay? when does the harris record start? >> i think that you made a really great point, alicia, when you said yes, and. they are going on a huge bus tour and setting out 3200 different events through surrogates across the country to highlight her new economic plan, for example. i think that pulls her away a little bit from biden but continues the ideas that he started. like 100 million people will get the taxes cut. biden was, we are going to tax the wealthy and she said, yes, and, we are going to cut taxes on 100 million americans that are middle-class. were going to build 3 million housing units and rental you

units we can lower the cost of housing and biden was like we will give you $10,000 for it down payment. kamala harris administration will give you $25,000 for your down payment to help ease the burdens. i think she's taking this a step further and when she goes out and does this to her about her economic plan, i think she's doing a milwaukee event during the dnc, she will be highlighting those differences. yes, and we've done this and this is where were going to take it further. >> a not think it is a difference, i think it is building on. she is the vice president of the deficits of america. should also go to work with joe biden every day. he is continued to say he is not yet done. it is building with distinction. >> i get that but when i'm trying to say is, with respect to the biden portion of that, there are a lot of people in the country who had a problem with the biden portion of that

so i am just saying -- >> did they? >> time of the economy. >> i -- here's the thing. some people are so complaining about gas prices. >> lateefah, correct me if i'm wrong. i'm often wrong because the chairman is often right. >> i'm not disagreeing with the approach. i like the yes, and, approach. olives exit narratively speaking, it is a rhetorical thing and a tricky space for her to be in because the convention is going to be touting the biden/harris. now give me some of the harris juice because there are some issues that people still have with the biden portion of that. people think that the economy is not as strong as we know it is. >> but to be clear, i don't think that is an issue with the biden portion of that. >> i'm saying with the american people. >> the american people are saying that they do not like where the economy is right now. the understand the gdp and everything but they feel the squeeze on the pricing and the other pieces. when it was the biden campaign,

i don't think they talked enough about that portion so -- >> that might be the problem. >> that's the issue. for people to say they had issues with the biden economic policies, don't think they did. i thought prescription drug stuff, joe biden did that. i think folks need to be very specific for people try -- before there is a rewriting of what actually went down. >> lateefah trying to jump in. all headed over to her. >> i love listening to you. what is exciting to me, and again, i am a superdelegate and was a superdelegate going in and biden was going with the top of the ticket. i am a super superdelegate knowing that my present vice president harris is going to be our nominee. is our nominee.

she is a democrat. it is clear that she understands not only what is at stake, but what they have been trying to accomplish for the last four years. i have to tell you as someone who has worked with her as you have as well, vice president harris is myopic in her understanding of what real people go through every single day. we worked in the district attorney's office fighting to get kids off the streets. she did something other disk attorneys offices never did. looked at each individual young person coming through the system and try to create a plan. for so many of these young people, this was over 20 years ago, it was the day care and it was the dental care. i have no doubt that, as she continues to roll out this economic vision of america, she will not only implement it, but will look back five or 10 years from now and we will be able to say a swath of america, the materials, conditions in which they live and are better because of the policies that she's going to roll out. you know that again, kamala

harris wants things to happen and she gets a team around her and pushes them to make it happen. i am excited. >> and she talks were going after price gouging is what she's doing is leaning into her autobiography which that is a use of law enforcement that we would not ordinarily think of but she's going to need congress in order to do a lot of the things. that is the biggest challenge and what it is that she is ruling out but it speaks to what she has already done. we will talk about that after the break. allison gill, lateefah simon. thank you. tomorrow will be joined by jaime harrison on the eve of the democratic national convention. after the break, another vfd for president biden. medicare drug price cuts that will save seniors billions of dollars. we are watching "the weekend" on msnbc. introducing kardiamobile 6l, the fda-cleared ekg that provides six-times more heart data than any smartwatch.

president biden and vice president harris celebrating a massive victory that has been years in the making. the announced new lower medicare prices for 10 of the most expensive drugs on the market. the new prices go into effect, seniors will save $1.5 billion in out of pocket costs. a joint event to mark the news, this is a direct result of president biden's inflation reduction act. >> two years ago as vice president, i was proud to cast the tie-breaking vote that sent the bill -- they give medicare the power to negotiate and let it get to the president's desk and i was proud when our president joe biden signed that bill into law. in the two years since, we've been using this new power to lower the price of life-saving medications. adjournment is now is present historian douglas frankly.

and democratic congressman eric swell was also the table. >> good morning to you. this is a pretty big week. we look at the arc of legislation from joe biden going back to 1973 when he started the conversation and we had this in my backyard. after the maryland thing. it is such a pleasure. what does this say about this administration's dog in this, in the face of the kind of obstruction you have had to deal with, the impeachments, the trials, all of the stuff that we have seen play out and the obstruction of effort that

this president is able to deliver to voters, citizens, writ large, something that is meaningful the for them. you taken one of the drugs, $7000 per month is now $2000 for them. that is huge. talk a little bit about that legacy and what this means in the moment. >> we fight for people, we win. we see the a medicare. or say that the inflation reduction act. for the first time, and three month period, inflation is not 3% or 2%. it is 0%. the legacy that this present believe is that our kids will drive on roads that he built. they will power the devices with chips that he manufactured and they will feed their families with jobs he created. joe biden, i believe, will go on the democratic mount rushmore with fdr, with president kennedy, with president truman, and with lbj.

he will certainly be remembered for the 16 million jobs he has created but he has also put himself in a position now to be remembered for the one job that he left which is the job he has left for kamala harris to finish as she picks up that torch. >> and quickly, i presume that some of the president's speech on monday night at the democratic national convention is going to be laced with what we just heard from congressman swalwell. the accomplishments of the biden administration and a real passing of the torch. what you expect to hear from the president on monday night? >> a repeat of what we heard of a joint appearance. i think taking on big pharma and making drugs cost lower. i think that is going to be grappling with climate change and talking about the infrastructure and all that it would do for climb in the future. it's very important to young

americans. to talk about healing. he is going to be in illinois and i noticed he just signed a national monument in springfield. 1908, that is where a horrible race riot occurred where abraham lincoln's house was in des moines. so we might strike on something that looking at racial injection. i would hope that whatever animosity there might be there, that it would fall a little bit and talk about barack obama and michelle obama. it is their city of chicago and trying to start creating a feeling of being the first speech out about the unity party that the democrats are and keep the momentum going and the love will be thrown joe's way he might even get a more sustained we love you joe ovation than kamala harris herself in the end. >> you want to make a point about that, congressman?

>> i'm really excited to be in the arena on monday night for president biden because the gratitude that you will see from the convention goers for what he has done and by the way, he did it with the thinnest majorities in congress. even where the vice president had to live at the senate and just a very thin majority in the house to be that consequential. >> and the fact that he was able to bring republicans, despite all of the machinations from the freedom caucus, donald trump hovering over them like jabba the hutt, you had this president able to create a deal that comes to the point that the chips act was done and every structure was done. he got inflation reduction. it is going to be quite a moment, i think, for the country to watch in that hall, and how people respond.

>> it is telling to the as we have kamala harris on the stump talking about the economy and the best donald trump can come to to push back is that she's a very strong communist and you'll be thrown into a communist system. you would be thrown into a system where everybody gets healthcare. everybody's going to get healthcare. don't think there are going to be that many americans who are sad about that. >> give me healthcare. i don't want healthcare. >> excellent point. of course, when we look at joe biden, healthcare, use a key person in obamacare, the affordable care act when he was with vice president obama. over the last 20 years, nobody has fought harder to help people lower prescription drugs, tell people in need, too

people in this assisted living is a big part of the legacy and part of his heart. it allows you to very easily talk about lyndon johnson and medicaid and medicare with all of these accomplishments. with beignet harkens back to some of the new deal of fdr. by dealing with the pharmaceutical companies to lower doug -- drug costs in particular and infrastructure, puts them in the heart of the democratic party as you were say, the mount rushmore of the democratic party and it is true. if we pull back and biden is gone, we will say what a great one term president he was and we are really going to say that if kamala harris is the hand chosen successor defeats donald trump and she's on the way to doing that right now. there many rabbit holes to come with the debates and other incidences but who would have thought that the democratic party heading to chicago would have this kind of momentum? i am a history professor and i will be there and i'm going but

my phone, everyone is looking for a floor seat and they want to be there. being in chicago is the big cool hip thing to do. i don't know if people want to hear beyonci or if they want to hear harris speak or if they want to hear president clinton or obama but there is a sort of energy about going to chicago right now that i could not have imagined three months ago. >> the energy is definitely different. my mother texted me yesterday saying one of the sorority sisters is looking for a ticket. i do not respond because i cannot help you. but, the energy is different and i think some folks have wondered, why is joe biden speak on monday? because there is convention coordinating to happen. the nominee speaks on the last day, thursday. the running mate nominee speaks on wednesdays and monday and tuesday to play with. monday is a celebrating of the legacy of joe biden, the service to his country since he was 29 years old he has been an elected official than passing of the baton and the pivot to talk more about how vice president harris, this is now her party, if you will.

drove the rest of the week, so he just hear from the prez on monday then he goes away, there is an intricate weaving that will happen, even stillwell carving out this unique space for this historic convention. it's only been three historic conventions before. geraldine ferraro 40 years ago when she was the first woman on the ticket as the running mate, then obama in 2008, secretary clinton in 2016. this is the fourth historic convention. >> we will set the table as far as what the stakes are. president biden will lay that out. we are not out of the woods yet because we have a former president who has three justices of the supreme court who are working out of his palm, where the rights of roe have been robbed from women, where the book bands under trump's 2025 could be there. are seeing organically in the

crowds, we are not going back. we will see this mindset. >> governor walz has been talking about how he is the underdog. were tied but with the congressman just said. lord, doug brinkley, we hope to see from chicago and you will keep us posted on the historical things. thank you for your time. congressman, please stay because want to discuss next donald trump's efforts, as you noted, there underway to question the results of the 2024 election. if anyone thinks he's learned from last time, he hasn't. you are watching "the weekend."

it ain't my dad's razor, dad. ay watch it! it's from gillettelabs. this green bar releases trapped hairs from my face... gamechanga! ...while the flexdisc contours to it. so the five blades can get virtually every hair in one stroke. for the ultimate gillette shaving experience. the best a man can get is gillettelabs. it's time to feed the dogs real food in the right amount. a healthy weight can help dogs live a longer and happier life. the farmer's dog makes weight management easy with fresh food pre-portioned for your dog's needs. it's an idea whose time has come. as his poll numbers slide, donald trump is laying the groundwork to lessen the results of the 2020 election.

he claims that it is unconstitutional. he claims the crowds are ai generated and they're not and building a false claim that democrats are trying to cheat him before a single ballot has been cast. also not true. there is no real surprise here. >> but he is, as michael alluded, is getting better. he has learned from what didn't work in 2020 and he is almost setting the predicate much earlier so we have to inoculate against and guard against intimidation that you will see of poll workers or suggestions that it is rigged to try to suppress people from even turning out and you have to be the party that always prefers voting over violence. >> i think that is important. to really kind of stress both those points that right now, what you are seeing is an example of the thinking,

meaning, they are saying that there look at the polling because the polling at one point had donald trump up ahead , right? of the implications that we will win. okay, fine. now that he is behind come the implication is that they are stealing the election. the idea that they're going to use metrics like polling, which we know, in any given day could be anywhere, as a basis for arguing and making the case to voters, they are stealing the election because i was ahead and now i am behind, therefore something nefarious must be going on. that is how deep into this this is going to go and it is going to get harder once you turn pass that corner of labor day and everyone is really geared into the election. to fight these narratives because this is part of the 2025 -- project 2025 playgroup book to put emotion the notions

that undermine the trust in our system. >> we want to break, i said he did win anything but you are right, he learned that you have to start a little earlier. you have to say it often in terms of if you want to undermine the election. he is consistent, i would argue, in understanding how to manipulate the conversation so very well meaning people who support him believe what he is saying. i keep going back to the 60 minutes interview he did with lesley stahl when he was president and lesley stahl talked about the interview and it was in a panel conversation and said that donald trump told her what it was them in the room, her and her producer, that that is fake news. she said it's just us. the cameras and on and he said, do this because if i say it enough, the people will not believe what you all reports. it is intentional. >> we hope who's got better and

who's gotten worse, the democrats have gotten better but that how they have to be in front of the small talk with the potential threat and how enthusiasm is the only antidote and tim walz talked about how democrats, despite all the enthusiasm, remain the underdogs. >> our campaign is the underdog campaign. >> yeah. >> with our joy, we have to understand that we are still up against some forces that are trying to divide our country. it pains me the kind of division and the stoking of divisions that has taken place. when we can remind people and create a space for everyone to come where they see each other. >> that is a magic. >> we are all in this together. >> i was feels like evidence coming out of the house after a blizzard that is a minnesota restaurants. the shallot and you start talking to your neighbors. how was it? >> that is right. feels like an aftershock. >> also if defeating donald trump does not motivate you,

the spawn of donald trump and the potentials, there are some scary successors that he has put in place. he's almost 80.. 's a surprise that he picked a 39-year-old to be his successor. some the other scary successors of people at mark robinson was running to be governor of north carolina who said that the holocaust is hogwash and women shall have the right to vote and it is time to start shooting some people. we have an opportunity and part of the joy for the country and our kids is not only can we beat trump, we can bury trumpism this november. there's a lot of work to do. >> i think we been living in this particular part of american politics for some time were we see the darkside come into power. it's and ushered out of power and now we see it vying for complete and total power and i think that is in your new ad blitz warrior working to try and engage some voters have not traditionally been engaged,

part of the messaging. a single one of those ads and see what you're trying to do. i love you. have a great day of school. >> dictator on day one. >> roe v. wade was terminated. >> naghede in. >> you know what, honey, i will drive you today. >> can convicted felons even drive school buses? >> if you would not trust him with your kid, why would you trust him with your country? >> about 1 minute left. >> moms, normal people. we need to be more basic and simple in our messaging. for too long, democrats are trying to win a harvard law school moot court competition. the sick got check with the local bar with people who are very demoralized and dissatisfied with politics and we just have to say if you won't let your kid get on the school bus with him, we probably should not give him

the nuclear codes. >> even if you're not an expert, trust or god. >> i love the school bus piece. that is a heart of everyday america, particularly as kids are going back to school this fall, the imagery is a powerful one and i do appreciate you making notes that you have often talked with your heads in the clouds will the rest of us were here on the ground. welcome to the earth. >> come back to earth. >> welcome to the earth, my friend. >> it is good to be back. >> it is such a pleasure to have you the house today. next, donald trump stoops to new lows with his attacks on veterans. goldstar father who lost his son in iraq joins us next to the program. thanks brandon. with usps ground advantage®. ♪♪

here's to getting better with age. here's to beating these two every thursday. help fuel today with boost high protein, complete nutrition you need, and the flavor you love. so, here's to now... now available: boost max! the presidential medal of freedom, that is the highest award you can get as a civilian. the equivalent of the congressional medal of honor but the civilian version.'s better because everyone gets the congressional medal of honor. that soldiers, their either in very bad shape because it been hit so many times by bullets or they are dead. >> that was donald trump this week disparaging the military's highest honor because the recipients are often deceased or injured. the latest in a

long history of attacks against the men and women who serve our country. another new attack criticizing governor tim walz for opting to retire after more than 20 years in the national guard but before his unit was set to deploy to iraq. the governor has defended his service and refused to denigrate the service of others, including trump's running mate, jd vance. joining us now is khizr khan, a goldstar father whose son was killed in iraq. mr. khan, philippe we don't know, gold star families they've lost immediate family member or loved one in active duty. active-duty military and i just have to imagine that hearing the comments from donald trump, who, frankly, is not just a random person, he's a former president of the united states of america. it had to have some kind of impact on families such as

yours. what did you think in the aftermath of hearing those comments from him? >> symone, i was saddened again and again . this is his division. his -- these awards are recognition of these service that the recipient and the sacrifices, so there is no comparison. both are equally high honors but that is trump. the civility in our political discourse just because of him being in the political debate is at our lowest. i was saddened to hear this again but allow me to cite two examples of the lack of understanding and

appreciation of service and sacrifice of our veterans and our military personnel. in 2018, november 2010, in france, all major media reported this, he said about our heroes, that these are all losers and suckers. that explains the capacity, the capability of donald trump. then the second and very saddening example is on memorial day in 2017 as the president, he stood in section 16 of the arlington national cemetery with his then soon to be chief of staff general kelly. the time general kelly. his son, he is buried in

section 16 along with my son captain humayun khan. he stood there and asked general kelly, what is in it for them? doubting their service and having no comprehension. that is donald trump that you are dealing with. it is saddening. and it is appalling that a hero like governor walz and his service is attacked. we pay tribute to him for his service and sacrifice and to all our veterans for their service and their sacrifices and their families and their sacrifices. they are our heroes, all of them are our heroes. yes, go ahead. >> mr. khan.

thank you so much. thinking about your 2016 dnc speech in philadelphia and you said of donald trump to donald trump, you have sacrificed nothing. is about the military and service members and families. the very essence of service itself. about the essence of sacrifice itself, something which he knows nothing. want you to take him listen to the way governor walz has been talked about his own service. here it is. >> these guys are even attacking me for my record of service and i want to say, i am proud to have served my country and i always will be. i will say it again as clearly as i can. i am proud of my service to this country. >> the things he warned us about service and sacrifice our as you said to a big audience, donald trump, you're asking to trust americans with their future, have you even read the

u.s. constitution? i will glad you just gladly lend you a copy. all these years later, not certain that he has. >> alicia, if i might add an and note to my conversation, it is this, that republicans are in the midst of making a major historical mistake. i want your audience to hear this carefully. in 234 years of this nation's history, there had not been a president or a former president who had been indicted and convicted of a felony whereas this candidate, this republican candidate is convicted of 34 felonies. a very sad state of affairs. hope our republican friends would realize this mistake and for the last three elections,

this is all my good equally patriotic republican friends can come up with for three presidential elections in 2016, 2020, and now 2024? this is the candidate that they keep coming up with? donald trump? this is a moment for republicans to pause and think and all independent voters to pause and think and vote for an entire democratic ticket. >> i would like to, as we reflect on what you have been saying, i am struct districts are by the words of the vfw national commander who noted these asinine comments diminish the significance of our nation's highest award for valor but crassly characterizes the sacrifices of those who have risked their lives above and beyond the call of duty.

that, sir, is a testament to your son. it is a testament to the men and women who have served valiantly and i just thought it would be important to end it on that note. and to thank you for the sacrifice that you have made for our freedoms and you are right, sir, we need to think better of ourselves in these moments when we look at who the next president of the united states could possibly be. khizr khan, thank you so much. we really appreciate your. much more ahead on "the weekend." don't go away. so you can get back to your monster to-do list. -really? -get a quote at progresivecommercial.com.

this is maybe the first a break we have been in as a two were reset absolute nothing because we were still so rocked by what it is that we heard from khizr khan. >> this whole episode just sucks hard. you know, it strikes at the core of what we value as a country. think about the men and women who, i mean, we don't have a conscripted army. no one is being forced into military service. these men and women, for reasons only they know. it is a vocation, it is a calling to going to service knowing that you could face harm. and you're willing to do that.

and to have a then president, now former president, denigrate that, but more importantly, to have his running mate, who himself is a member of that service, who wore that uniform, who stood next to those men and women who served with him, many of whom he knows and knew would go off and be harmed or killed, to stand there and to give credence and justification to that excuse making on behalf of donald trump, shame on you. you dishonor the uniform that you wore and that, to me, when you listen to a gold star family memberthat crap from vance and trump, we are shocked by it because that is

just not who we are as a nation. we would never. we have never, in the 230 years of this country's history, done that until the last seven years or so. >> the medal. ever many people trying to excuse what donald trump said or explain away what he said about the medal of honor and to be very clear, what he said is that the one, the other one is better and do you even understand what the medal of honor is? it is a military's highest honor and it has been given out since 1863. there have been 40 million people who have served in the united states armed forces. of the 40 million, a little over 3500 have ever received this honor. they get it for acts of valor. if you look up in the dictionary says it is honor plus dignity.

just the profound disrespect that a former president could have for the military service members. a president serves as the commander in chief of the u.s. armed forces with the stroke of a pen and a word, they could send our mothers and our fathers and their children and brothers and sisters off to war. putting their lives in danger. he does not even understand the sacrifice. >> that would require understanding honor and dignity. stick around. we have more of "the weekend" after this. ay obsession and we got you now with verizon, get nfl sunday ticket from youtube tv on us... and a great deal on galaxy z fold6... for a total value of twelve hundred and fifty dollars. only on verizon.
