what about stacey abrams not deciding to get into the race with two states on balance? >> that's a big blow. it was her great opportunity to win in this statewide election. because the fundraising ability, you when his age and. she's looking -- organization. she's looking to run for governor. that speaks to the challenge democrats face. you have these candidates that can win in red states, and they are choosing to run for president or even in abrams' case, not run at all. steve: what about alabama? >> alabama is going to be a difficult race just because it's so conservative. it will be interesting to see if they tried to amplify. he's running again. he's the one candidate that can lose in atlanta. i think you might see some difference from the democratic side. steve: how big of a factor the republican senate will be. can you address that? >> mitch mcconnell is almost a more potent name for democrats than donald trump, especially in these more moderate, conservative leaning states. i expect mcconnell's race to be one where he's clearly the favorite. mcgrath stumbled a bi

abrams has two opportunities and passed on both of them. what is making it not as intriguing? j.b.: i've been around this for a while. it doesn't feel drastically different from any other party. not every candidate says yes. and the presidential ring has always been attractive. and people seem eager to try it on. what i think is different is the organic feedback that a lot of those presidential candidates get around the country, and even in their own states, where they say hey, why aren't you thinking about the senate? we're happy with the field of candidates we have. if some of these candidates want to continue to consider t, that's ok, too. changed his oper mind about running for colorado. you think any of the other candidates will do the same? j.b.: i don't know if either one is. you have to take them at their ord. governor bullock and former congressman beto seem focused on the presidential races. beto is going to be on stage in a week or so for that debate. and yet, the senate, because of what it means around judges, what it means around cabinet positions, and certainly t

find it in a subaru crosstrek. >>> the abrams playbook is out today. here it is. got that? there.ms has issued an urgent 16-page memo to the democratic party telling them, quote, next year georgia will be the premier battleground state in the country. when analyzing next year's political landscape and electoral opportunities, any less than full investment in georgia would amount to strategic malpractice. we can win georgia. stacey abrams talked about how democrats should do that earlier tonight on "hardball." >> georgia was not only ground zero for voter suppression, but also ground zero for opportunity. we can pick up two senate seats, give 16 electoral votes to the democratic nominee, and we can flip the house, the state house as well as taking holding one and adding another congressional seat. those are extraordinary opportunity, and georgia's the place to fight voter suppression, but also fight for democratic votes. >> jon ossoff was the democratic candidate in a election in 2018 who showed us how much the political ground has shifted in georgia in the first year of the trump

. >> stacey abrams ran for governor of georgia that same year and lost by less than 55,000 votes.that voter suppression and other tactics were at least partially to blame. >> do you think the vote was stolen from you, the election was stolen from you? >> i think the vote was stolen from the people of georgia. i don't know empirically i would have wouldn't, but if you add together the thousands of people that faced extraordinarily long lines, who faced hurdles that should not happen in a democracy, the votes that we know were not counted, the secretary of state who was also my opponent in the race purged more than 1.4 million voters over basically an eight-year period. >> the opponent abrams is referring to is gop governor brian kemp. purging voters from the rolls is not illegal. in fact, the law that allowed kemp to do it was passed years ago by democrats as a way to remove people who had moved out of the state or died. but abrams says kemp's office purged voters in a way that disproportionately impacted african-americans. isn't there a law that defines how you get purged? >> but

for the us to actually admit that it was a mistake and so i agree in principle with what professor abrams said but the reality of u.s. politics as soon as trump or the top administration said something like that boom it's all over this is a presidential campaign we're talking about above all it's about policy in the 2nd have the program on to talk about domestic politics we're going to go to a short break and after that short break we'll continue our discussion on afghanistan stayed with her. during the great depression which i'm old enough to remember there was most of my family were working. there wasn't it was bed you know much worse objective listen day but there was an expectation of the things were going to get better. there was a real sense of hopefulness there isn't today today's america where shaped by the 10 principles of concentration of wealth and power. reduce democracy attack so low down engineer elections manufacture consent and other principles according to. one set of rules for the rich. that's what happens when you put her into the. sector of will switch will is dedicate

i want to put up stacey abrams who said no to this new georgia seat and said it immediately.comfortable she is talking about other potential places she could be on the ballot in 2020. take a listen. >> i certainly would. i mean, i don't want to be coy. there are those who advised me against saying that out loud. but the reality is, of course, the work that i want to see for america, the progress i want to see us make, i would be honored to be the running mate of the democratic nominee. >> by the way, i have to say it's sort of refreshing when an ambitious politics says yes, of course. everybody who said they didn't want to be a running mate has lied, right? >> and it's so clear that she would be -- is available, is making herself available, is not endorsing anyone now, and is so smart and connects with people so well and is such an extraordinary figure. the real headline is that nobody wants to run for the senate. >> right. >> you've got these governors and former governors, hickenlooper is an exception. but there is really no appetite to be a senator, especially not if you'r

but i think abrams like raising her hand is definitely interesting.kept thinking since everyone keeps talking about her in conjunction with should biden announce her to be the vice presidential nominee or something like that it's like a quote, she is 100% right now. she is owning it and that's interesting. >> look who put the first liz o reference on "meet the press." i want to end on a more serious and depressing note. somebody noted on twitter we have had more governors apologize for wearing black face than we have governors in -- what does that say? and i'm referring to the governor of alabama who came out and she released this herself. auburn university found some evidence of this and she released the audio that sort of confirmed that she had participated in a black face skit at a sorority. i offer my heartfelt pain and embarrassment this causes and i'll show that the alabama of today is a far cry from the alabama of the '60s. we have come a long way for sure, but we have a long way to go. should the governors still be in office? >> well, they're

. >>> mark is here now with an update on jonathan abram.year to get ready for this day, and then the first game. >> that's the thing with all sports, but in particular football. this is a guy, if you've watched hbo's hard knocks at all, as frank didn't, jonathan abram made quite a name for himself, kind of a brash guy, and he brings the energy, and the talent as well. sometimes a little overzealous, but he will not bring that energy for the rest of the year. he suffered a torn rotator cuff, he will reportedly have surgery on thursday. to show you how tough this guy is, he sustained that injury, he remained in the game and finished it read you can imagine he was in quite a bit of pain, he had five tackles and a pass breakup, but that will be it for jonathan abram, one of john gruden's favorite so far. meanwhile they were good things to talk about in regards to the raiders, and one of them, as everybody loves, come back story. it's the tight end who had eight targets monday night, made seven catches, he's in absolute physical specimen, 6'6",

host: how big was it that abrams decided not to get in the ras with two on ballot in georgia? >> it was a big when. that was her greatest opportunity with an open seat. she has the fund-raising and organization and looking to run for governor instead in 2022. but that is a space that you have talented candidates that can win and choosing not to run. host: what about alabama? >> it is going to be a difficult race because it is so conservative. it will be interesting to see if senate majority p.a.c. tries to amplify roy moore's contain and he could lose in atlanta and you might see some funny business from the democratic party. host: one is how big a factor the senate republican leader will be across the country. >> mitch mcconnell is almost a more potent name for democrats than donald trump in the more moderate and i expect his race to be one where a lot of money is poured in. he is the favorite and mcgrath has stumbled a bit but mcconnell re retkpwrebgts everything that the -- reflects everything that the problems democrats have and i think he will be a national symbol. >> you

. >>> want to bring in dan abrams with us tonight. we have heard this over and over again, from the president and his team over the last 24 hours, that there was no quid pro quo here, that the president never talked about the hundreds of millions of dollars in u.s. military aid when he was talking about investigating joe biden. but you have said, the pressure does not need to be that explicit here. >> that's right, david. as a legal matter, you don't need a quid pro quo. you just need to be able to prove the person knowingly solicited something of value from a foreign national to try to influence the 2020 election. but that kind of case is hard to prove and win, but the technical legal question isn't the most important one tonight. the real question is the political one. sure, it would be a stronger case against the president if there had been a specific statement or demand that linked dollars to help, but in the criminal law and in the impeachment process, a court, or in this case, the congress, can certainly read between the lines.

abrams is a hit maker.act that he does have a show and apple tv plus and also is producing and directing his upcoming "star wars" movie just speaks the to how successful he is and how reliable he is in drawing major audiences. he has a huge track record both in tv and in movies. so what we've seen is with netflix, netflix is spending hundreds of millions of dollars to secure deals. they want to make sure they can lock up that talent because now netflix, hbo max, disney, plus all of these services will be really competing with each other and it comes down how good the content is >> thank you very much new data shows active investing is gaining ground on passive investing. >> reporter: according to morningstar 48% of active u.s. stock funds beat passive indexes in the year through june that's up 37% year-over-year but passive vehicles are still becoming increasingly dominant passive is now taking over almost half of the stock market according to bank of america and that's caused hedge funds to build up the cr

but on the other side, jonathan abram who was involved in this play, the heat-seeking missile ore ther and injured his rotator cuff. he's expected to have season-ending surgery. abram played in the rest of the game and addressed the media seeming to be fine, and now his rookie season is over. >> he's everything that's advertised. he'd probably play this week if we let him. but he's going to have surgery, i think, tomorrow. and we're keeping him in our thoughts and prayers, and we're going to miss him no doubt. >> antonio brown, with him comes more baggage. a lawsuit filed by his former trainer accusing him of sexual assault on three occasions. the raiders refusing to address anymore of his issues. >> i'm not aware of any of the questions. if you want to ask about him, call his employer. >> now brown did practice for the first time as a member of the patriots, wearing number one. even if he's a model citizen on the field, his behavior off the field remains an issue, and now it's the patriots' turn to answer for him. >> i'm not going to be expanding on the statements that have already b

you saw this, the stacey abrams race, where frankly i think she won that race.ce, but the current governor probably did a few things that kept him in the hunt longer than he should have been. it's going to be a tough race but democrats could win it. having the second seat may help. one of the things that could happen is you could end up -- there are no african-americans running for david purdue's seat. but you may have a couple of african-americans who get into the johnny isakson seat. if that happens, then you have an african-american on the ballot in november of 2020 while the presidential race is going on, and you might have a surge in turnout that could bring one of those senators over the finish line. >> let's be clear that one of those african-americans will not be stacey abrams? >> she's made that very clear that she's not going to do it. there are other names out there. michael thurman who's been a long-time, statewide elected in the state. a few people out there. rafael warnock, pastor at ebenezer baptist church. there are a few people who might do it.

. >> when i first met donald abrams for years ago he was on the cutting edge of cannabis research. promise then, but he says not much progress now. he does still believe in the potential healing power of marijuana but is concerned about cbd alone. >> the cbd craze that we're in i think is unprecedented really in the history of medicine. it's a compound that has gotten way ahead of any research to support the claims that are being made. >> abrams was part of the team of doctors in 2017 with the national academy of sciences that did what is considered the most comprehensive review of all the studies done on the benefits of cannabis. >> there are only about five in the medical literature, studies looking at the therapeutic benefits of cbd. >> not only are there very few studies, the studies we have are not very good quality. >> and there's hardly any research at all for the benefit of all those wellness products in stores. >> there's very little for these but the potential side effects for low doses episodically is low. >> might help, can't hurt, why not? that's why so many people use

we are buying abrams tanks and selling them to allies all over the world.of the busiest plants in the country. if we had closed it down you would never have gotten people to do tanks like that. it was instinct. everybody said we'll close it down and save about $3. not too good, right? as anthony mentioned over the next decade pratt industries is creating 5,000 new jobs in the united states. this is made position by the historic kaks cuts and tax credits we signed into law. we lowered our business tax from the highest anywhere in the developed world to one that is extremely competitive, even really considered pretty low. meaning a lot of the companies from australia and other places are coming over. since then american companies have brought nearly $1 trillion back to our shores and it's $1 trillion worth of jobs. so it's great. just in concluding, our message is clear. there has never been a better time to hire, invest, and build in the united states of america. every day we are seeing more products roll off the assembly line stamped with that beautiful gro

also, jj abrams, you might have heard the news yesterday about this mega-tv deal with warner.it despite the fact that some say apple offered double the cash. what does that say to you when someone says i'm turning down $250 million because i don't think you guys are the right outfit? >> yeah, especially because money talks. i think that's the interesting aspect of this. apple needs to find ways to grow, especially given their current market valuations. that's why you are seeing the stock being hurt today. newod about apple, it's not wework where their mission statement is we are here to elevate the world's consciousness. it's a core fundamental business investors can get their hands around. if you are comfortable with the valuation, paying 18 times earnings, go ahead and have apple. we know historically, apple has actually traded at a discount, especially they are not giving new unit sales when it comes to their iphone sales. you can't get a grasp on where they are going to go with their core money maker. charles: i think the watch is a phenomenal thing and after jj abrams, i

>> stacey abrams has this whole thing about voting, about gerrymandering.me you were here, you talked about the 2020 democratic nominee, kamala harris was your choice. but you weren't 100% in on it. >> well, somebody asked me if i was to vote at this moment. >> absolutely. >> i said her. >> she has lost some momentum. what's going on, do you think? >> just the ebbs and flows of a presidential collection. i don't think it's anything to be too concerned about. we'll see what happens this week. she might have a good showing this week and shoot back up in the polls. >> remember, elizabeth warren was down. trump is going to hit her on pocahantas. she is running the most disciplined campaign of all of them. >> i like elizabeth warren too, but you think she can win in the general election? >> i don't know. what do you think? >> i'm not sure she can get too many of those center right people to come on her side. if she can get some of them, maybe. >> possibly. let's move forward to the debate. on the debate stage there is going to be warren and biden. it's going to

they're up in arms because stacey abrams does not want to be a senator and she's made that clear. we're doomed. great candidates running for senate there, teresa tomlinson, wonderful candidate known in the state. there are other people. is the party too narrowly fixated? >> yes. that's -- yes. cecile already made the point and in particularly when we look at what we've seen since the 2016 presidential election, the truth is black women in particular and women in general have always been the foot soldiers of the democratic party without being allowed to be the front-runners, the leaders of the party, and one of the things that the party is struggling with is how do you build a bench? the republicans have done this better, quite frankly, is looking locally, building, investing in and building local elected leadership, starting from school boards, and building up to state legislators and then legislatures and building beyond, and traditionally, with the exception of obviously howard dean with the 50 state strategy, trying to move the party to think more wholistically at the state lev
