a very good day to all of you from msnbc world headquarters in new york. welcome everyone to alex witt reports, breaking news, live pictures at the johnson space center, that is in houston, and also a major development expected on these guys, the two astronauts that are stuck in space, nasa is set to deliver the final decision on how to bring butch wilmore and sonny williams back home from the international space station. they've been there since june 5th on what was supposed to be a roughly 8 day mission. let's get right to merissa, what is the latest from there? i know we have this news conference, do we have a plan? >> that is the big question that hopefully might be answered within the hour. potentially any minute now. i'm listening to the press conference in one year and i've got you in the other air so i will let you know as you as i'm hearing things but the big question is when and how are butch wilmore and sonny williams coming back down from

the space station, they've been up there for, we are going on 80 days now and counting, this was supposed to be a weeklong nation and it has gotten delayed because of several reasons, helium leaks, issues and questions about the thrusters and that is what is used to propel this and maneuver this craft through space, so the big question on the safety and that is the bottom line, we know that's been the messaging from nasa from the very beginning, on how this decision will be made and there has not been a consensus because there's two main possibilities and we are waiting to find out which one, are the astronauts coming home the way they went up, are they going back down to earth on the boeings star liner, or, are they going back down to earth by hitching a ride on boeing's rival, spacex, so there's a crew nine, this is supposed to launch sometime within the month and that is gotten delayed because of what's been happening with the star liner and when the crew nine launches, potentially, there could be two seats waiting for butch and suni, they are not

supposed to return to earth until february, so that means if that is what nasa decides and announces today, then butch and suni would not be coming home until february, far extending the original mission date. to a couple of things to think about of course there's the optics, there's the boeing meme and faith and trust in the company of course that on the line but bottom line, the messaging from nasa has been the safety aspect of this because what's most important here of course, are the safety and lives of these two astronauts, so that is probably a big reason why boeing has not been present at the most recent press conferences and today at the press conference that we are waiting to start, the head of nasa, bill nelson -- before the press conference, for all we know it might be happening as we speak but alex, something

that's been interesting is the timing here, they said they had time, they wanted to look at the data, they wanted to analyze as much as they could, they talk to scientists and it ground testing from the western part of the united states to really get a sense of what is the safest option. and they wanted to reach a consensus, alex. but at the most recent press conference, they said time is running out to reach a consensus, we prefer a consensus because it increases the likelihood of the safest possible decision but at a certain point, they said we are running out of time to reach a consensus and the time apparently is this weekend and apparently within the hour, so we will be here to find out what the decision is. >> okay my multitasking friend. thank you for saying all that and butch and suni, they have been pretty good-natured about this whole thing, they are conducting experiments , but

you've got to think they are waiting, too. meantime, now to the race for the white house, 73 days until election day and new fallout from the democratic national convention in chicago. new number show buys resident errors beating former president trump in the ratings. the vice presidents acceptance speech drew 28.9 million viewers, that's across the team that works, half 1 million viewers more than trump's on july 19, and energized democrats are moving to the next phase. >> we have some place to go but it's always better when you're going into the fourth quarter and you are ahead, versus being even, and now we are moving ahead because people want to feel that we save our democracy and when you look at the opposition and what donald trump and jd vance are proposing, they have been so

negative, they've been so discriminatory, you can name anything and they are on the wrong side of it. >> on the heels of the convention, harris campaign has started early planning for a presidential transition. more on that in a moment. next week, they will embark on a bus tour through south georgia, ending with a harris rally in the savannah area on thursday. trump meanwhile picked up the endorsement of rfk jr. more on that ahead. trump spent most of the week veering off script, ranting about that the nc on social media, he said he is looking forward to debating harris at a campaign stop . >> of course she's flip- flopping on everything, you know that, joe, she's flip- flopping on everything, she's a flip-flop or, andy, she's our flip-flop her, she flip-flops on everything. we are going to beat her. i look over to the debate, too.

>> yeah, us too. the vice president has started holding mock debate sessions at her alma mater, howard university with longtime democratic strategists, playing the role of trump, that debate is set for december to -- september 10th. what is next for the vice president on the dnc? >> reporter: the vice president is back here in washington, she is laying low after a really busy couple of weeks. obviously we know the democratic national convention happened last week. prior to that, she and her running mate spent spent the better portion of the week aren't storming these battleground states and after this weekend, that begins again. the vice president and her running mate will launch on another bus tour, this time not in pennsylvania but in georgia,

southern georgia in particular, as you noted, she will end on thursday, this will be a wednesday and thursday bus tour that will end in savannah, georgia, and i think really if you look at the part of georgia she will be going to, southern georgia, it is clear that the vice president and her campaign are targeting the large population of black voters in that part of the state in particular. there's one county in southern georgia that represents the second largest black population in the state. the campaign noted with the store, they are targeting rural voters, suburban and urban voters and i want you to hear a little bit from the deputy campaign manager on this network talking about the plan for the campaign, going forward in this final stretch leading into the election, listen. >> the campaign has been building and infrastructure apparatus for months, in the battleground states to make sure that we are talking to the voters who are going to decide this election on infrastructure that is leaps and bounds of love donald trump. we will see them hit the ground

repeatedly, bus doors, making sure they are traveling across the country and we are cognizant that people can start voting as early as late september. and so that is something that is very us to make sure we are getting in front of as many people as possible. >> so really, if you think about it, the window for the time between now and election day, as clinton folks just noted is not necessarily as long as it may seem. there will be some early voting that starts in september. we know pennsylvania is one of the states that will start with early voting in september and it's important for both campaigns to hit the ground in the next several weeks to start drumming up the final support that they need to get together leading into the election, the vice president we also know next week is very likely according to sources to sit down for the first formal interview with her running mate and we don't know exactly when or where or with whom but we expect that to be happening

sometime next week. >> let her sleep in this weekend, let me tell you, it was a big week at the convention with all of the campaigning she did simultaneously, thank you. hours after ending his campaign, rfk jr. rallied with trump in arizona. the trump campaign hoping some of kennedy's supporters follow his lead and back the former president. >> overnight in a move likely to help former president trump, independent candidate rfk jr. suspending his campaign. he announced he will now endorse mr. trump. >> i was surprised to discover that we are aligned on many key issues. >> entity suggesting that trump offered to enlist him in his administration. he originally launched as a democrat and then became an

independent. >> staying on the battle -- ballot in the battleground states i would likely have the election over to the democrats with whom i disagree with. >> former president trump thanking his opponent turned ally. >> we just had a very nice endorsement from rfk jr.. he's a great guy, accepted by everybody. >> it's a major shift from the harsh words he had for him months ago. >> rfk jr. is a radical left liberal who's been put in place in order to help crooked joe biden. >> can be appearing with trump in arizona friday. >> we talked not about the things that separate us because we don't agree on everything. but on the values and the issues that bind us together. >> kennedy, a member of a storied family in politics is already sparking criticism in

his own family. jfk's grandson saying rfk jr. is for sale works for trump. kamala harris is for the people. the big concern for the kamala harris campaign following a remarkable convention in chicago, we are back in 90 seconds. 90 seconds thanks brandon. with usps ground advantage®. ♪♪ it's hard to explain what this feels like. moving piles of earth. towing up to 4,000 lbs. cutting millions of blades of grass. nothing compares to experiencing it for yourself. you just have to get in the seat.

(♪♪) momentarily. i wan you to know that boeing boeing has worked very hard with nasa to get the necessary as promised, we've been

paying close attention to that which is happening in houston. there you see the nasa administrator. he has just announced the two astronauts that have been stranded on the international space station, which will more and suni williams, they will be returning to earth, but not until february. we heard marissa parra speaking about the issues of unanimity, trying to get consensus on how to bring them back. take a listen. >> i told him how well boeing worked with our team to come to this decision and he expressed to me an intention that they will continue to work the problems once star liner is back safely. and that we will have our

redundancy and our crude access to the space station. this whole discussion remember, is in the context of, we have had mistakes done in the past. we lost two space shuttles as a result of their not being a culture in which information could come forward. we have been very solicitous of all of our employees that if you have some objection, you come forward. spaceflight is risky, even at its safest and even at its most routine. and a test flight by nature, is

neither safe nor routine. and so the decision to keep butch and suni aboard the international space station is a result of a commitment to safety. our core value is safety, and it is our northstar. and i am grateful to nasa and to boeing for their teams, for all the incredible and detailed work to get to this decision. i'll turn it over to jim. >> thank you, sir. thank you and deputy administrator elroy for being here. it means a lot. i like to communicate to all of

you that we've come to this decision using our program, our mission director and our agency level processes, that includes the decision that happen at the commercial crew program, at space operations and the agency level and it includes all of our technical authorities from engineering safety, medical and flight operations. as he administers said our focus is on safety all the time. and this is no different. beyond certainty in our margins is where we have come to make the decision that the administrator laid out. the uncertainty remains in our understanding of the physics going on and the thrusters and still we have work to go. you will hear more from others on the specifics but i'll tell you that nasa and boeing, they have made incredible technical progress in the model development that has gone on, the thruster testing,

understanding material processes within the valve and the complicated physics that are happening. we will continue to learn. we are a learning organization i think we have demonstrated that here. we will learn from this effort so that our crews who are at the top of the top of these missions and their families can continue to know we've done that and will always do our best. >> so you're hearing it everyone, we are keeping a close eye on the remaining part of this but the bottom line the two astronauts that went went up in june for what was proximately an eight day stay on the international space station have remained there since the arrival, butch wilmore, suni williams , they will be returning on the boeings star liner that will launch and retrieve them in february. imagine that, they've been very

good-natured about all this but they wanted nasa to take its time. you heard the nasa administrator saying they would employ caution because the fact is that anytime you send anyone up into space, it is not routine. so it seems as though they've tried to have some sort of agreement from all interested parties. a lot of people weighing in on this decision and the conclusion has been reached, they will return in february. as we get more knots and both on things we will share them with you but let's go to politics now. vice president harris is enjoying a weekend off after a busy weekend of campaigning and the dnc. variety describing her speech as powerful and heartfelt and an op-ed in the washington post said it embraced patriotism and decency and the political columnist from -- called it the best acceptance speech i've ever seen. let's bring in jeff mason, white house correspondent for reuters. what are your biggest takeaways? >> i sure was.

you know, lots to take away, certainly the energy that i've seen out on the campaign trail with vice president harris was very present in that convention hall, for her, also for joe biden at the beginning of the week when he gave his valedictorian speech as well, for the obama's, for the multiple speakers who came through, it was a capstone to what has been a whirlwind 4+ week since vice president harris ascended to the top of the ticket including making hundreds of millions of dollars bringing in tons of new volunteers and bringing in a lot of new supporters and this was their time to showcase that and her chance to take center stage while the world was watching on thursday night. >> it wasn't all a bed of roses, though, the vice president did use her speech to address the war in gaza, that's a topic that you know that has divided the democratic party, let's take a listen.

>> president biden and i are working to end this war, such that israel is secure, the hostages are released, the suffering in gaza ends, and the palestinian people can realize their right to dignity, security, freedom and self- determination. >> pro palestine protests were simultaneously happening outside the arena. how significant was this moment and what has been the reaction on both sides of the issue? >> i think a couple of things, it underscored the importance of that issue for her as the democratic candidate, she needed to address it and she did. i will tell you from my own observations, the reporting of covering both president biden when he was at the top of the ticket and now vice president harris, there is certainly a contrast in how she could get through speeches and rallies without being interrupted, on the trail, she's not getting the interruptions that president biden did from . palestinian supporters and i

think that is in part at least, because she has set a different tone on the issue even though her policy and position on the issue is absolutely aligned with president biden. her tone has been different and that's what came out differently in that clip that you displayed. >> you broke the big story about the harris campaign raising a whopping $500 million or half $1 billion in the month of the vice president replaced joe biden on the ticket. do you think democrats expect donations to continue at this pace or settle back into earth's orbit? >> you know, it's hard for me to say whether they expected it but they are certainly pleased and money is not everything but it is a reflection of enthusiasm and gives them an ability to do things like advertising, like preparing the get out of there dashed -- vote efforts. they hope it's something that will continue but your third from vice president harris as well as people around her, that

they are trying really hard not to get complacent because this is still going to be a tight race. but certainly, that figure was huge. and it's a sign of how much things have changed in the last month with vice president harris leading democrats and it's a sign that the momentum, that really jumped up in terms of money coming in right after she announced her candidacy, has continued. so we will see if that continues to continue, as it were, but so far, it's looking good for her, financially. >> do you know how they plan to keep the momentum going? >> well, she certainly is going to be on the road a lot. although, you said she's got some downtime this weekend, i suspect perhaps she slept in, i can tell you i did.

but she's probably working on debate prep because that is the next big thing for her. the debate prep, the potential interview coming up but also, in terms of broader strategy, she wants to engage with voters and get people excited about her campaign and the swing state so she will be on the road a lot, in between doing these other things. >> can we talk about president biden who got that five-minute roar of a standing ovation and repeated thanks throughout the four days for his coppersmith, what role will biden serve for the campaign? >> i was on the floor for his speech at the end that i saw when vice president harris came up on stage afterwards and that relationship and the affection between them is certainly real, in terms of what role will he play? i think it's still a little bit tbd.

there's no question that he is still popular within the party, his approval ratings ticked up a little bit after he stepped aside but they are not so high that he's necessarily advantageous as a campaigner for her in the swing states. i think they are waiting to see how his poll numbers move a little bit. he said he intends to help and certainly he will do some fundraising and he has indicated that he will do fundraising in pennsylvania. i don't think he spent more time in any other state then pennsylvania since ascending to the presidency. he will probably try and deploy there but otherwise we will see how that affection and how that popularity that he still has, how it goes off, now that he has been off the trail or off the top of the ticket for the last month or so. >> he does have five months in which she has to continue running the country, so that could keep him busy as well. thank you so much. whether voters have learned

the conclusion of vice president harris's rousing speech at the democratic national convention pushed for unity, optimism and patriotism. >> i love our country with all my heart. everywhere i go, everywhere i go, and everyone i meet, i see a nation that is ready to move

forward. ready for the next step in the incredible journey that is america. i see an america where we hold fast to the fearless belief that build our nation and inspired the world. >> joining me now is meghan hayes, former special assistant to president biden along with morris reed, political strategists and former staff a in the clinton administration. meghan, talk about that patriotism here, the convention featured the checks formally known as the dixie chicks, there were american flags flying, usa chance a, are democrats retaining this love of country that the publicans have tried to claim ownership of? >> the republican party does not have a monopoly on love of

country. we never lost a, we were always fighting for democracy in 2020. it was incredible to be there to watch the dixie chicks, the chanting of usa, so i think the democrats never lost patriotism, i just don't think it was at the forefront of our values that was forward facing in the media it was incredible to watch all of this come to life over the last week. >> morris, one of the biggest lines for the republicans continues to be that democrats hate america. how long can they keep doing this with the patriotic energy, along with the choice of walz? >> i think it's an old line that may have worked in the past but it'll be difficult when you have someone like the

governor who has served also very difficult when you have a person with the vice president story, an immigrant family, both parents moved here looking to find the american dream so love of country has never been something that democrats have shied away from. republicans have worn that differently but i think you will see this time with the vice president and the governor, they will embrace it and fight for it. >> meghan, despite all this momentum, many speakers were very clear this election is not in the bag yet and they warned of being too confident. take a listen. >> what you should never do is underestimate your adversary and these people are really good at distracting us, at triggering doubt. >> remember, there are still so many people who are desperate for a different outcome. so no matter how good we feel tonight or tomorrow, or the next day, this is going to be an uphill battle.

>> it is the fourth quarter, we are down a field-goal, but we are on offense and we've got the ball. >> so, is the message getting through to voters, are there worries about complacency or have voters learned their lesson from 2016? >> i think voters, i don't think they will pay attention until after labor day when their kids are back in school. until we have the debate and start voting, i think this will be an uphill battle until election day. i think in 2016, i think people got complacent and they saw what happened. i hope that doesn't happen again. it's always going to be an uphill battle, the polls are extremely close. we cannot lose sight of the goal and that is winning in november and beating donald trump and i think democrats

really need to continue to organize and continue to talk to your neighbors like michelle obama's speech. i think that needs to continue to happen moving through november. >> we heard a combination this week of reaching across the aisle saying that there's room in the democratic tent for everyone, including this comment, this is from michigan attorney general about marriage equality, listen to this. >> by the way i've got a message for the republicans and the justices of the united states supreme court, you can pry this wedding band from my cold dead gay hand. >> is this blunt rhetoric what voters are looking for or is there a danger in going to four? >> there's one thing for sure, that this issue, reproductive

rights, will be a main issue going forward. i don't think the democrats should rely on that issue solely, they need to pivot, course it's a major issue on the democratic side but they need to start to move to pocketbook issues. this race will come down to what americans feel or who americans feel can do the best for their family, so the democrats made to pivot from just talking about reproductive rights and really go into these pocketbook issues where people want to hear from the candidate, what are you going to do to make my life better and what are you going to do to make the future better, campaigns are always about the future and if kamala harris can really bring the energy but really stick to the issues that americans want to hear which will make my life better, then

it looks good for the democrats but as my colleague was saying, we are a long way from this election being over and we need to stay focused. >> meghan, the vice president also spoke on the war in gaza reaffirming support for israel but making strong comments about the devastation in gaza and the rights of the palestinian people. on wednesday, the group, muslim women are harris announced it was disbanding and pulling their support for harris after the dnc did not have a palestinian american speaker but did include the parents of israeli hostages. the group said, that family showed more empathy than the dnc. harris has generally received tire marks then biden on the issue but how carefully does she go forward with this issue? >> she has to thread the needle because she is still part of the administration. she is still the vice president and on top of that she's now running for president. i will say the feeling in the convention and chicago, you know, the protests were not nearly what people thought they would be. there were a couple of folks that were very peaceful in the

sit in on wednesday night into thursday but it was not disrespectful in the convention hall whatsoever and those people came in and washed her speech but the vice president really has to thread the needle, but the administration continues to fight for a cease- fire and to work with the different parties involved to get a cease-fire. and i know people are there negotiating that but they are doing everything they can on the diplomatic front that she needs to walk the line as a candidate but it's going to be a really tough fight, you know, to continue that balance? >> morris, your thoughts on how harris handled this issue? >> i thought she was spot on, the way she stood for israel but also the right of palestinians. people need to see the forest for the trees, if they want to make sure that palestine is taken care of and that is really safe, the democratic party is the right party to vote for.

>> meghan, given your relationship with president biden as a special assistant to him. bittersweet week for him. just a little over a month ago he was expecting to accept his party's nomination. how do you think he viewed this remarkable week including the many thanks that he got, how does he see his role in the campaign? >> i think he is incredibly prideful and he's very happy, i'm sure he's happy and his decision. i think it's also hard for him to watch but also, he pass the torch with dignity. the vice president has been nothing but gracious and honoring him. he has to feel a lot of pride so you know, where it is at her sweet, i do think that he is recognizing that this was the best thing for the country and the vice president is taking the torch forward and that's incredible to watch.

israel's insistence that it -- in gaza, this comes as officials announce 33 people were killed by israeli airstrikes in southern gaza this morning. the hospital said among the dead are 11 members of the same family. welcome, danielle, tell me where cease-fire talks stand today. what do we know? >> reporter: we can only take them at their word unless you are in the room, it's really hard to know where exactly things stand. the fact that hamas is in cairo to be briefed on the talks that have been taking place for 40 hours, talks that have involved the israelis, americans, qatari's and the egyptians. a hamas official confirming to nbc news that they are not taking part directly in the talks but they will be hearing from the mediators. the good news is that hamas could have decided not to send a delegation and it did, so for

the family of the hostages, for the people in gaza, that could be seen as progress. you mentioned the two sticking points, the two corridors, one of them is called the, it's a road that runs east to west through gaza effectively cutting the enclave in half, and an israeli presence on the ground with me and preventing the free movement of palestinians north to south and south to north, on their own land. the other issues the philadelphia corridor, which is this buffer zone, the strip of land between gaza and egypt. israel does not want to leave it empty. it's concerned that hamas will use it to smuggle in weapons and fighters and it wants to remain on the ground. hamas said it will not agree to a deal that is not see the full withdrawal of israeli forces. there's also the issue of the egyptians who do not want the israelis on their doorstep.

>> does seem like two pretty big things they will have to overcome. i do know there's a health concern as well in gaza, almost 11 months or so since the war began, what can you tell us about that? >> you mentioned the at least 36 people killed in an israeli airstrike, 11 from the same family, i don't have their names but i do have the names of the five siblings who died earlier this week. they were eating a small meal with their families, and is really shell fell on them. the mother's legs were loan off at all five children were all killed and this is just one family out of so many and this happening, almost every single day. there is major health concern, this is the first case of polio that was detected, discovered, according to local authorities. it was discovered last week. that's when it was announced. we now know that the patient is a 10-month-old child, a baby,

who is now paralyzed, that's according to the un and the w.h.o. partially paralyzed, so now they are calling on both sides to agree to a temporary cease- fire to a humanitarian pause, to allow for a vaccination campaign that would allow 1 million children in gaza to receive two doses of the polio vaccine. >> it is all heartbreaking but nonetheless, i thank you for bringing the story to us. next, donald trump's armor white house press secretary, she spoke at the dnc. why it was so important to highlight what happened on january 6th. january 6th. at's a good boy, leo! my moderate to severe crohn's symptoms kept me out of the picture. with skyrizi, feel significant symptom relief at 4 weeks. many people were in remission at 12 weeks, 1 year, and even at 2 years. serious allergic reactions and an increased risk of infections or a lower ability to fight them may occur. tell your doctor if you have an infection or symptoms,

i have seen violence while serving in iraq but nothing, nothing prepared me for january 6th. we were beaten and blinded. i was assaulted with a poll, attached to the american flag, president trump summoned our attackers and sided with them. he betrayed us. >> on january 6th, i asked melania if we could at least tweet that while peaceful protest is the right of every american, there's no plate for lawlessness, or violence and she replied with one word, no. >> the dnc took on a sobering

town this week as a former capital police officer shared details of how he was personally attacked by rioters. while a former trump white house press secretary recounted what she experienced on january 6th. stephanie grisham is joining me now. stephanie, this is not your first time speaking out but it certainly was on a platform you probably never anticipated. why was it important for you to not just because the convention but to highlight january 6th? >> well you are right, that was something i never thought i would do in my life and i also hate public speaking so it was a big step for me but i knew that it would be impactful. i knew that going along with some of the other republicans for harris, and talking about you know, who we know, in trump and what we saw, it was really important. i knew it would get attention and i think that it hopefully gave some people you know, if commission structure maybe not to step out, i don't know that

more people will step out more publicly but behind the privacy of the voting booth, to vote for her, for hope and change and a more positive country. i think that people recognize that we don't have to all agree on policy issues. we can disagree on that but the trump way of everything is dark, only he can fix it and constantly being hit over the head with how horrible our country is, it's just not the path forward as kamala said so well in her speech. >> there were a few republicans who joined you, let's watch some of that. here it is. >> trump made a lot of lofty promises, unlimited economic growth, american manufacturing reborn, a secure border. turns out, donald trump was all talk. he wanted our votes, but he couldn't deliver a thing. >> if republicans are being

intellectually honest with ourselves, our party is not civil or conservative, it's chaotic and crazy and the only thing left to do is dump trump. >> so, to my fellow republicans, you are voting for a democrat, you are voting for democracy. you aren't betraying our party, you're standing up for our country. >> all combined. it's all powerful. i'm curious about the feedback that you are getting from republicans ? mark >> shockingly, i haven't had the greatest feedback from many republicans but i have had some support, absolutely. i've had a good amount of my friends and family who have said that they back me and they are proud of the decision i made. i think that her speech,

anybody who watched it would agree that it was full of hope. i think it was vitally important that she said she would be present to all americans regardless of party. i think that was absolutely, i didn't know she was going to say that and when she said that, i really felt that not only was she telling the truth but that, we had hope for our country for the first time in a long time. so i think her speech was amazing and impactful. i think governor walz is incredible. as you know, i live in the midwest now. and he is absolutely everything , that i know my brother-in-law to be and my father to be, which is, you know, the regular man, i love that he's a coach, you know, even seeing how much their families love each other is a big change, so i think it's just a breath of fresh air and i don't think that takes away from policy, policy is important but i think that giving our country a chance to be civil again is more important right now. >> to that end, not

surprisingly, to user phrase, donald trump reacted angrily, he called into fox after the vp harris acceptance speech and the host had to eventually cut his ramblings off. he fired off a ridiculous number of posts, look, you know him, how is he looking at this past week, was he spooked? >> he was angry, i guarantee that he is saying you know, the media is of course only covering her and her crowds. i guarantee that he is saying that the people around him aren't doing a good job, i think he is blaming everyone around him. and i saw some of the rants that he had on social media which were nuts to me but he is trying to distract, the former president bill clinton said the same thing.

he is trying to distract and get the media attention to go back to him and if he has to do it in a negative way, that's how he does it. >> he was in arizona yesterday, reacting to former president obama's joke during his dnc address and we've all heard it and it's not the first time obama has roasted trump but this one had to hurt extra, you think? >> i think, absolutely. i again, i wasn't expecting that when he did it, and i laughed and chuckled. i think that he is absolutely going to continue that, as president obama or michelle obama or even oprah, you know, i'm sure that got to his ego and angered him, and i'm sure he's going to go after them as he will go after anybody. it doesn't matter. but i think the more important message, also came from oprah winfrey, the fact that she said

we need to be a country again where if somebody down the road, your neighbor needs help, we don't ask about the politics first, we just go help them. i think that message was more important and i hope that we can all kind of stick to it, your former guest said everything just right, we've got to keep fighting, this will be a close race. i do believe we are underdogs. i was actually there when we won in 2016 and we went into it thinking we probably weren't going to win and hillary had that huge convention space ready for a party and look how it went. so i think it's important to remember 2016 and stay focused on what she is trying to say rather than you know, the silliness that he's trying to say. >> it was the javits center with that glass ceiling. trump promoted melania's new upcoming book, there you go, that's a look at the cover, it does not list a co-author, what do you think is in it? >> pictures, pictures and you know, some small captions. i doubt it'll be anything, they might bill it as her opening up but it's just not who she is.

she's a very private person i doubt that there's a bunch of scandal in there. she's not going to talk about things that went wrong, if i had to guess, it'll be a picture book and it'll be captions. and there might be some pictures from her childhood, i think i read something there but i doubt that there's going to be a whole lot of reading associated with that book. that . wh y do, tide's got you covered. —looking good, man. —learned it from you! it's got to be tide. hi! need new glasses? buy one pair, get one free at visionworks! how can you see me squinting? i can't! i'm just telling everyone!...hey! buy one pair, get one free for back to school. visionworks. see the difference. missing out on the things you love because of asthma? get back to better breathing with fasenra, an add-on treatment for eosinophilic asthma that is taken once every 8 weeks. fasenra is not for sudden breathing problems or other eosinophilic conditions.
