the black lives matter protests that have followed the deaths of trayvon martin and michael brown in ferguson and george floyd in minneapolis and resulted in the largest street protests in america in a generation, possibly ever, is the struggle to bring attention to the basic lived reality of the level of quasi authoritarian fear of law enforcement that a huge percentage of americans live with constantly. the lived reality day in day out in america for black people, for latino people, for other people of color is often the state authority or adjuncts to state authority act with terrifying capriciousness, and that continues to be the daily truth in america, and here are two more very recent illustrations of it "the washington post" reports last thursday while two black moms sat with their babies in their car parked not far from the white house here in the land of the free and the home of the brave, a secret service cruiser drove into their parked car and then uniformed secret service officers pointed a rifle at them, yelling at them to get out of the car. over the next hour, the women said, they were han

use in a video conference our brussels correspondent georg mathis has been following this story for us greetings so did they agree on sanctions. michael they have at least started the process of imposing sanctions and that means that the european institutions now if the task to set select a list of individuals in bella ruse to groups that we're looking at one croupiers of people who have committed fraud in the elections who are responsible for the electoral procedures taking place and the other group being individuals who are responsible against violence against innocent pro and peaceful protesters and that group at the end of the day will have to be approved by foreign ministers at the next meeting but the green light to put the list together has been given today ok so so give us some perspective here what is at stake for the e.u. in trying to reach a resolution to this and does it appear that any resolution that they might be able to iron out at this point will have any real teeth. well for the e.u. it was today absolutely crucial to send a political message of solidarity to the people on the streets in balad ruz it was just not eno

george lloyd. we will hearfrom pete buttigieg, corey booker, michael bloomberg, not such a figure of the progressive democrats remember that he made this massive hire of staff for the presidency and they would have jobs through november but not all of them do, has created some sort of a backlash. a huge moment forjoe biden. a man who he likes to say, i'm often told i say what i mean but sometimes i say what i mean but sometimes i say more than a mean to. so we will see whether or not is the case and la bit of a copout for all politicians isn't it. thank you very much laura. so tonight it's all about joe biden and of course we'll have his speech live later. my colleague katty kay looks at the life and career of mr biden. how you doing? joe biden is my name. look me over, will you? joe biden‘s political brand is empathy, a firm handshake, a look in the eye, an arm around the shoulder. he showed it in his first run for the white house way back in 1988. but that bid failed amid questions over the very authenticity he held so dear and a speech that stole too closely from neil kinnock, the leader of the b

george w. bush. in 1988, michaellead into early august, but lost it after the gop convention and never gained it back. if the election tightens a 10% chance that 2016 repeat where trump wins the electoral college and not the popular vote. partly because democrats have a lot of wasted votes in california and new york, where biden is projected to win 25 points or 30 points. finally, some uncertainties because of covid-19. we're not sure what the economy will look like by november for example. the bottom line it's simply too soon for a model or anybody else to be confident about what's going to happen. >> fair caution. >>> let's bring in our roundtable, chris christie, yvette simpson, sara fagen and rahm emanuel. joe biden is the favorite heading into the convention. what does he need to do this week, can the democrats do what they need to do this in virtual format? >> first of all -- we've all said -- hopefully this will be the last convention. hard to have a convention if you don't convene. the core question, is to co

back to 1988 which is when i was a reporter and i covered the campaign against george herbert walker bush, bush i and michaelukakis. michael dukakis came out of thinks convention 17 points ahead of bush and bush wound up by beating him by eight points in a landslide and it was all about negative campaigning and running the kind of campaign that was redefining what the democrats were about. so this is something they will have to grapple with. >> the president tried to do that in his summation of what he saw for the last monday through friday of this week. here's what the president said about the convention. >> over the last week the democrats held the darkest and angriest and gloomiest convention in american history. they spent four straight days attacking america as racist and a horrible country that must be redeemed. >> how does this get him what he needs, which is to expand beyond the base that's going to vote for him, as he says, if he shoots someone on fifth avenue how does this, this characterization of the party and the convention grow that support for the president? >> you know, he's like a dog that k

senator harris as a vice presidential pick just even the attorney for the family of michael brown, trayvon martin and george with an op-ed supporting senator harris. what you see are people close to senator harris wanting to make it very vocally clear they are behind her because they feel like she's getting a public vetting they feel is unfair, the fact she's seen in a specific way. we're not hearing these leaks with other candidates. that being said, i think it's right that the person who ends up being the vp pick, of course they will be attacked by president trump. if you look at this list, the president -- and i do mean president trump -- he's going to be someone who will attack either way. if it's senator harris, talking about her background as a prosecutor, susan rice, benghazi, tammy duckworth saying she's unpatriotic, even though she's served our country in this real patriotic and amazing ways. in some ways the president is going to be a combustible ingredient. all that being said, i think joe biden will lean on the fact he has to feel very comfortable with the person. i think this week when he's hav

george h. w. bush, reagan as vice president. and in may, michael dukakis, the governor of massachusetts, is attacking bush saying that he is part of the reagan administration and the iran contra scandal after scandal and bush was part of it. he called him a squeeze factor. lee atwater was putting together a pretty vicious campaign that weighed on the racial backlash and was very much a character assassination behind the campaign. when bush is struggling in the polls, he picks up on the story and convinces bush to talk about jim wright and take the story that had spoken about the fringes and made the campaign. so, lee atwater saw politics like him. it was a sport, character assassination, and it was about storytelling. gingrich understood what storytelling was about. lee atwater was a fan of professional wrestling and pop politics should be run accordingly. >> guest: >> host: absolutely. backing up, jim wright looms large in this and for people who don't follow the story, the late '80s there was a health speaker who was a texan democrat. tell us abo
