james carville, reverend al sharpton, thank you both so much. i appreciate your joining me this morning. >> thanks, al, thanks, reverend. >>> coming up, we just got our first preview of what could be a vp matchup. josh shapiro clamped back on a weird attack from vance, but first elissa slotkin's response to donald trump's kind words to vladimir putin at a rally last night. we're back after a break. a rallt night. we're back after a break thank you. save 40% on the sleep number limited edition smart bed. plus free home delivery on select smart beds when you add an adjustable base. shop now it's mine. you, ok? yeah, are you ok? we're fine. my serve. maybe we should stop. this pinewood pickleball champ stops for no one. we got our melons checked. she had a concussion. admitting i was wrong is worse than losing at pickleball. saving your brain is a definite win. don't mess with your melon. if you hit it, get it checked. >>> so jd vance has spent the last few days doing cleanup after his childish comments regarding cat lady who hate people and don't

al sharpton, the reverend al sharpton, obviously a stalwart of democratic politics, now coming out toak on the central park five. let's listen to reverend al sharpton. >> thank you. thank you. thank you. good evening. i'll stand before you as the president of national action network. we do not endorse candidates, but we report where candidates stand on criminal justice, economic empowerment, health equity, and other issues. on one side of this race is donald trump, a fellow new yorker i've known for 40 years. only once, once in that time did he take a position on racial issues. he spent a small fortune on full-page ads calling for the execution of five innocent young teenagers. well, i'm going to bring them out in a minute, but, and you'll hear from them tonight. because they were not executed. they're here to continue the fight. but it was there that i saw trump love to san racial flames. on the other side is a woman that i've walked with in selma, alabama to commemorate the 59th anniversary. kamala harris spoke to me that day about unity and passing bills. all i ever heard from dona

reverend al sharpton is a host of politics nation. these are two of the wisest and most fun people to talk politics with, and they join me now, so thank you both so much. i have been so excited about this conversation. let me start with you, because the debate and donald trump's actions over the last 24 hours are just -- i mean, a little strange, but i am reminding you of when president george h.w. bush was hesitant to debate bill clinton. i'm sure you remember this, clinton supporters to show up at bush rallies in a chicken suit, there are some video footage there. kind of seems like we have another chicken on our hands here. you saw the vice president's response, how do you think she should be handling this? let's first of all, i want to thank reverend al. [ inaudible ] you crushed it. and i think that she should say i will debate him on fox on the night of september 18th, because i happen to know he is going to be in manhattan on the 18th. and i am sure the judge will give a delay in the execution sentencing to allow him to show up

reverend al sharpton was at his side on stage last night, he joins us now.tion network and host of msnbc's "politics nation." michael hardaway is back with us. reverend, i honestly don't remember whether it was '84 or '88 but i did go to a rally when jesse jackson was running for president. he gave a speech that was i guess his standard stump speech. it was one of the greatest speeches i have ever heard in my life. the man was gifted. but what's his role in what we see today in the democratic party? >> well, i think in many ways he laid the foundation. i knew reverend jackson since i was 12 years old, my mother brought me to the movement in brooklyn, new york, and i became one of many mentes of him, he was always dynamic, always visionary. i think what he did laid the whole predicate that we are working on today. let's not forget not only did he make it believable that a black could run and win millions of votes. >> yeah. >> he changed the rules. in '88 they changed the rules for primaries at the behest of jesse jackson. put people on the rules committee and

>> first of all, it's good to be with you again, reverend al sharpton. i have to say that this is an exciting moment. the vice president -- i remember being on joe biden's committee. i was one of four. was one of the people i did outreach to and the goal of selecting a vice president which is going to be really, the first major and important decision a presidential candidate will make is to find someone qualified as someone who can run but also who can. that is the best. for joe biden, i remember his whole focus was that the focus also must be able on day one which kamala harris was and also in his words, simpatico. somebody who could relate with him and at the end of the day, that is the person when we turn off the lights, that's who were talking to. she met all those requirements and i am so confident that she's going to pick the person who is super qualified but also meshes with her and will also present the best for the american people. this decision is a big one. the great thing about the democratic slate of candidates that she is looking at is that

the reverend al sharpton. thank you so much. as you will be joining us at the top of "morning joe." thank you again. thanks to all of you for getting up "way too early" on this tuesday morning. we will be back here live from chicago tomorrow. "morning joe" starts right now. ♪ ♪ >>> this is going to be a great week. and i want to kick us off by celebrating our incredible president, joe biden. joe, thank you for your historic leadership, for your lifetime

for a party who wants to bring down the temperature, they are bringing out al sharpton.bout love and joy. maybe. joining us now, katie. love and joy and al sharpton. >> the democratic nominee who is going to try to be born again, everything she stood for in the past, she wants to be new and fresh and undefined. she now wants to tell the american people nothing about her future plans for the country. it has been a fun week for democrats. they are having a good time but it is going to be if what translate inside works for the working voters outside. they are trying to blame it on trump even though harris was responsible for the bidenomics agenda. >> what is the issue you are finding the folks on the convention floor are most excited about? >> they are excited to see whatever democratic politician walks out on the stage. this has been a politician parade. you look at this lineup, one after the other. it's a long way from the everyday americans we saw with the republicans. there will be a conference on gun violence. there are all kinds of rumors about beyonce and taylor swif

yamisha al cinder is with us and fresh off his address in primetime the reverend al sharpton host of "politics nation" and also joining us michigan secretary of state joslyn benson and former republican congressman msnbc political analyst david jolly is here. yamish al cinder, there is no mystery anymore about what the objectives were. they were to share kamala harris' personal story, establish her credentials in law enforcement as a prosecutor, and it was clear by the end of last night that her commander in chief credentials are there. it was maybe to remind people of that, and then to undermine with the speeches from leon panetta and edwin gayego and others and her strong defense of what it means to be an american to essentially disqualify donald trump as not just unserious but as a serious threat. >> that's right. i mean, democrats came into this convention, and what they wanted to do was put on display that this is not just an election about vice president harris and the future of this country and whether or not they want to be a decent and kind and inclusive america or you want t

our friend and colleague national action network president reverend al sharpton delivered a powerfulre at the dnc last night. in an emotional moment the reverend revisited trump's dark history of advocating for the death penalty for the in the teenagers forerly known as the central park five. the men who now prefer the moniker the exonerated five then joined the reverend on stage. >> my name is korey wise. 35 years ago my friends and i were imprisoned for a crime we did not commit. our youth was stolen from us. everyday as we walked into courtroom people screamed at us, threatened us because of donald trump. he spent $85,000 on a full-page ad in "the new york times" calling for our execution. >> as my friend, korey wise just said, 45 wanted us unalive. he wanted us dead. today we are exonerated because the actual perpetrator confessed, and dna proved it. that guy says he still stands by the original guilty verdict. he dismisses the scientific evidence rather than admit he was wrong. he has never changed, and he never will. when they see us, america will finally say good-bye to that h

we saw jackson flanked by al sharpton who is a colleague of ours.eration. >> very much, i was watching the reverend come out, and i was thinking back to some of the battles that i have over the years been engaged in with the good reverend. even before his presidential bid in '84 and just kind of, you know, thinking about the historic nature of events that bring people into space and to engage with each other in our body politics. and it's very interesting, the point you're making because i think in some respects kamala represents a restoration to that. i mean, we have been in this space where we have not had the big discussions around policy and ideas about how we govern ourselves and how we move forward together. we have just had discussions about one man and his anti-democratic illiberal behavior, his disregard for women, his disregard for people of color. and now, this represents a transition, and i think someone like reverend al, for sure, and definitely the other great names that we know, they kind of bring us across that bridge in a way to thi

the last time i saw reverend al sharpton before the show today was at the celebration of life services for sheila jackson lee the one of the most extraordinary champions, human rights, civil rights, and voting rights in this country and at the end of reverend sharpton's speech, that entire congregation and the sanctuary was on their feet, rising to the equation, both in memory of sheila jackson lee, and everything she's done to bring us to this moment, but also in the recognition that we are in the precipice of something absolutely amazing. just think about 40 electoral college votes in texas. if at a minimum, we can get trump to play defense here because of the changing dynamic, it's going to open up other possibilities and other states, and some days sooner than later, maybe it's 2024, we win texas. >> i'm not a skeptic. of the inevitability because i think what you are seeing at the national level is that there is a ceiling to the politics of hate and division and i like that kamala harris describes herself as the underdog. i think that's the right way to run any race, but especiall

i would just add, and he is about to speak. >> this is our colleague, reverend al sharpton from the nationaltes stand on criminal justice, economic empowerment, health equity and other issues. on one side of this race is donald trump. a fellow new yorker i've known for 40 years. only once, once in that time did he take a position on racial issues. he spent a small fortune on full-page ads calling for the execution of five innocent young teenagers. well, i'm going to bring them out in a minute, and you will hear from them tonight. because they were not executed, they are here to continue to fight. but it was there that i saw trump loved to fan racial flames. on the other side is a woman that i have walked with in selma, alabama to commemorate the 59th anniversary of bloody sunday. kamala harris spoke to me that day about unity and passing bills. all he ever heard from donald trump was how he could get an advantage. i see one candidate to wants to protect the right to vote, while the other has tried to cook up 11,000 votes in georgia. i see a candidate who with joe biden brought leaders to the

reverend al sharpton and golden state warriors mvp steph curry with a recorded video message. i believe that kamala as president could bring that unity back and continue to move our country forward. this is about preserving hope and belief in our country, making sure families can be taken care of during their most precious times. it's been an honor for me to represent our country. it's an honor to support kamala. so let's all do our part. god bless. all right. and during our 430 show, we saw massachusetts senator elizabeth warren also taking a hit at former president trump. groceries, gas. housing, health care. taxes abortion. trust. donald trump and jd vance to look out for your family. shoot, i wouldn't let those guys. i wouldn't trust them to move my couch. still to come in prime time, members of harris's family, including her niece and her stepdaughter. also on the left, their former arizona congresswoman gabby giffords. her husband, senator mark kelly. also former defense secretary leon panetta. michigan governor gretchen whitmer, singer pink is also slated to perform, an

[cheers and applause] and, together -- and let me tell

i know you want to listen to reverend al sharpton.eaction later. joining me now, the lieutenant governor of chicago. before we get to the speeches, you have known kamala harris for a very long time. you said you came up together, navigating the halls of power. tell us about your story with kamala harris. she was the district _ story with kamala harris. sue: was the district attorney story with kamala harris. sia: was the district attorney in san francisco, we were both in our 30s, and even 20 years ago you didn't find that many people dedicated to her their careers who have accomplished a lot, still in our 30s. we became fast friends for a long time. after hillary didn't make it, i decided to run for lieutenant governor of california. she endorsed me a year before the primary when she was senator. that became a big part of my campaign from the beginning. i broke the glass ceiling and became the first woman elected lieutenant governor of california. i have been campaigning for her, just the most incredibly wonderful thing to see her ab

reverend al sharpton is still with us this hour. all in together and host of "majority rules" on two way, lauren leader. and u.s. national editor at "the financial times", ed luce. katty, it's a good group. >> let's jump straight into the news. it's been a busy weekend. the trump campaign is down playing an expected polling surge for vice president kamala harris after the democratic national convention. in a new memo the campaign calls the wave of momentum seen since the vice president entered the race the harris honeymoon. it also warns that any bump from the vice president will be short lived. quote, post dnc, we will likely see another small, albeit temporary, bounce for harris in the polls. post-convention bounces are a phenomenon that happens after most party conventions. these bumps do not last. the memo mentions past election matchups that have seen post-convention bumps, including hillary clinton with a seven-point lead over trump after her convention in 2016. >>> meanwhile, thewinning is fundraising fight as the race nears

it was there, as reverend al sharpton made clear in his speech, shouting about joy.room, which is, you look down from where we're sitting and just a sea of american flags being waved, chants about usa, members of the united states military, members of congress who have served in the military all coming out on stage, and a unifying message by vice president harris last night, which was not a base play, but a play to the groups she knows she needs to win this election, swing states, and frankly, even to republicans, she's saying the door is open. if you're disillusioned by donald trump and the last ten years -- and we pull covid into that as well -- if you're tired of the past, come with us, because we are not going back, as she put it. >> speaker after speaker all week long focused on those seven battleground states. it was a roll call, arizona, north carolina, pennsylvania and the like. i think the vice president last night checked every box her team wanted her to do, first, with the biography, really leaning into not just explaining who she is to america, which real

i was sitting there watching former louisiana governor mitch landrieu with al sharpton. >> how do you build on the momentum this week? >> a lot has changed in the last 30 days but the one thing that hasn't changed is donald trump is still a convicted felon and determined to be a sexual abuser of business fraud. donald trump is a president who left of the economy in this country in shambles and donald trump's about darkness and grievance. that is not change. >> the question was what can you do build up, was momentum? he pretty much gave it away there. the momentum is over contrary to the headlines will be seeing over the next 12 days. with astounding intellect. it's an embarrassment. of course louisiana is getting -- going to vote big his home state. don lemon found out that all the spin about taco recipes and joyful campaigns, it can't change the brutal facts that most americans are not better off after 3.5 years of biden and harris then they weren't the even a blue new jersey. >> who are you supporting? >> i support trump. all the people who came to this country legally it's not fair

so when al sharpton says -- they took us out of the darkness trump put us in, no, darkness, the problemts was their nominee was president joe biden, who could not -- became clear to everybody come apparently and cling to at least nancy pelosi and then maybe to himself, that he was not able to serve for another four years, and they were not willing to sacrifice the party, so the reason all of these people feel joyful is because they got rid of the one guy that eight weeks ago they told you is perfectly fine and capable to be president the next four years. >> greg: mm-hmm. all right, harold, good to see you. you are looking dapper as al always. isn't the strategy hear what you would call star power transference? bring the star power into the room, through the obamas, and hope there is a tangential star power for harris. i would do the same thing. they often use me like that here at "the five." [laughter] >> harold: when jaime harrison and the chair of the party called and asked for an analogy, i used this analogy. you and "the five." you said something at the outset of the last segment, h

the last time i saw reverend al sharpton before this show today was at the celebration of life services for sheila jackson lee, one of the most extraordinary champions for civil rights in this country. and at the end of reverend sharpton's speech, that entire congregation in the sanctuary was on their feet, rising to the occasion, both in memory of sheila jackson lee and everything she's done to bring us to this moment, but also in the recognition that we're on the precipice of something absolutely amazing. and just think about 40 electoral college votes in texas. if at a min mim we can get trump to play defense here, it's going to open up other possibilities in other states and some day sooner than later, and maybe it's 2024, we win texas. >> i am not a skeptic of the inevitability of that. because i think what you're seeing at the national level is there a ceiling to the politics of hate and division. and i like that cam describes herself as the underdog. that's the right way to run any race, but especially this one. but i'm excited to see governor walz at some high school football ga

but when you have two people, al sharpton who i'm setting next to and some of the greatest orders ofnt. i remember the night that he was elected. and i happen to be at the white house, nicolle. and i'll never forget, all of the kids who ran to the white house. and just the spontaneous crowd, because they saw change. they saw people who are authentic and look like them and michelle obama is that person. she said, when they go low, we go high. she raised her kids, she's looked like an every day woman instead of being this iconic woman that you could see invoke. she stays the same. she cares about people and that is why people listen to her and then with her husband, i mean, i joke about this. but there is jesus, hbcu and then barack obama, there-s may change. it may change a little bit. kamala harris becomes president. but you know, these are two people, people want to hear from. especially, nicolle, right now, as we've heard so much about this tension, those conversations about how to save the democracy that ultimately led to president biden saying i'm going to step aside for the sake

it joined me now is the reverend al sharpton post of politics nation and president of the national actionu, ralph, i see you in your spot, you are on your way to work as usual. so here we go, these numbers, they are pretty impressive numbers for vice president harris considering she's only been a presidential candidate for two weeks now. how has her emergence as the democratic nominee change the nature of this race, the feeling around it? >> i think it has changed it tremendously. i think you see an energy that we have not seen in a long time. it reminds me of 2008, when senator barack obama was running and became president brock obama at the end of the race. and i think that it's a matter of them sustaining this kind of momentum and making sure they go forward. let us not forget that we are now looking at these numbers before the democratic convention, which is a couple of weeks away. it usually gives the democratic nominee a boost and we are looking at it before the sentencing date on september 18th of donald trump, and that is going to remind everyone that he is a convicted felon of 34

days, there were so many mentions of those who have paved a path for her, right, so whether it's al sharptoning shirley chism yesterday or if it was barack obama actually being there. hillary clinton, geraldine ferrara being mentioned by hillary clinton. and i think she's a beneficiary of the people whose identity was both targeted, critiqued as they were doing this work, and then she's also able not to lead with that because she doesn't have to. she's already visibly an african-american woman as well as a south asian woman, forefront in so many ways, and so she's benefitting from the past movements as well as saying today our multiracial america is the america that we have before us, and i hope to lead. >> and, again, it's anecdotal, but i did talk to an awful lot of delegates, mostly women delegates, to be honest with you. it didn't matter if they were black or white, their ethnicity at all, there was so much emotion in the room, part of it was residual, hillary clinton, the idea of a woman, and the idea that more than one barrier could be in play at a time. >> my oldest daughter, her very

champion for justice we saw harris sharing a moment with someone those leaders, including reverend al sharpton the house minority leader, hakeem jeffries, and the family of sheila jackson lee before standing before the coffin of the congresswoman pain in her respects arlette saenz from houston. >> thank you so much for that reporting we're still focused on this big breaking news. several americans detained in russia now making their way back home after the biggest prisoner swap with russia since the cold war a historic day, not only in washington but abroad as well. and we have much more coming up on cnn news central tv on the edge, moments that shaped our culture coming this fall on cnn if you have generalized myasthenia gravis picture, what life could look like with viv guard high, true low, a subcutaneous injection that takes about 30 to 90 seconds for one thing, could it mean more time for you? they've got high, true low can improve daily abilities and reduce muscle weakness with a treatment plan that's personalized to you do not use vip guard high to low. >> if you have a serious allergy

new york before he got mixed up in politics, they showed him with jesse jackson, with reverend al sharpton, without these famous black people in politics and stuff, he was getting awards from the naacp, and all these people were saying, he is a racist. he is a racist. he turned racist as soon as he said he was going to run for president in the republican -- >> where he covered digital and national security across capitol hill, the pentagon and u.s. intelligence community. just a reminder we are doing questions on notecards so please write them down. our interns will be walking around and we will gather them. over to you, martin. >> good afternoon. before i have my panel introduce themselves, please silence your cell phones. and two, the first time ever moderated a panel like this someone passed out on stage. to be clear it was not me but if you see any of us looking green in the gills or acting strangely, please flag peggy or me and we will escort them off the stage. that said we have an esteemed panel here today and i am going to allow them to introduce themselves, give their title. brevi

at mitchell's funeral last month, civil rights activist, and msnbc host the reverend al sharpton delivered>> next on "ana cabrera reports," another squad member left out in the electoral cold. the dust is setting now in corey cori bush's primary. >>> plus, the michigan senate race just got a whole lot more interesting. could republicans pull out a win in this blue trending battleground? s blue trending battgrleound t-mobile's 5g network connects a hundred thousand delta employees so they can make every customer feel like they've arrived before they've left the ground. this is how business goes further with t-mobile for business. it's payback time. all these years, you've worked hard. you fixed it. you looked after it. this is how business goes further maybe it's time for your home to start taking care of you. we've invested in our home, we've worked on it, we had a whole lot of equity just sitting there, you paid down the mortgage, invested in your home. i guess, you could say, your home owes you. if you're 62 or older and own your home, learn how you could access a portion of your home eq

his other son, jonathan jackson, who who's a congressman from here in the state of illinois and al sharpton who was a protege of his, someone who modeled himself, who saw jesse jackson as almost like a farce other figure. so there are moments i think when people around him wonder whether he has gotten his doom. i think tonight was an important moment given his failing health we ought to give him a moment on a stage when the nominee of the democratic party now is a black woman. another thing that's so many of these people never thought they would see happen in their lifetimes know just the emotion in the room, yeah. >> asked you to see him come out and just two watch watch that crosses base, obviously with his house yeah. >> and the possibility that maybe said something, obviously he didn't but it was his presence was good for so much. sometimes you don't need words thank you, just need to give a champion a solution and over time, i'm overwhelmed right now because i got to work for the first black president because of gestures i was little, but i remember seeing jesse jackson signs of my par

most of all this morning, it was nice to reunite the reverend al sharpton with the director lee daniels. >> we didn't a deliverance. >> all right, rev. thanks, everybody. we will see you back here tomorrow morning. anna cabrera picks up the coverage right now. >>> right now on "ana cabrera reports," we're following breaking news out of hollywood. an arrest just made in connection with the ketamine overdose death of "friends" star matthew perry. more on the lapd probe. >>> also ahead, the race for the white house. the president and vice president appear together today, their first official white house event since the campaign shake-up. this as donald trump holds another press conference today. and the two vp contenders trade jabs on the trail. >>> also ahead, her cain ernesto bearing down on bermuda after causing widespread power outages in puerto rico. the latest on the storm's track. ♪♪ >>> good morning. it is 10:00 eastern. i'm ana cabrera. we begin with breaking news this morning. an arrest just made in connection with the overdose death of "friends" star matthew perry. perry was fou

. >> president of the national action network and host of msnbc's "politics nation" reverend al sharptonas well. >> do you remember denver? >> 2008. >> you were getting up maybe at 1:00 a.m. getting ready for "way too early." >> i did "way too early" from the vancouver olympics 2:30 a.m. chris licht and i waking up together. obviously, that was the -- the roll call was fun and the energy was real and the arena was packed. but then that was just the opening act. >> that was just the first. >> boy, did michelle bring it. one of the most popular figures in the democratic party, former first lady michelle obama gave a powerful 21-minute speech taking on donald trump on issues of race and gender. in her remarks, she touched on her family's history and the importance of this election. >> something wonderfully magical is in the air, isn't it? yeah. you know, we are feeling it here in this arena, but it's spreading all across this country. we love a familiar feeling that has been buried too deep for far too long. you know what i'm talking about! it's the contagious power of hope. the anticipatio

i mean, we've seen reverend al sharpton come out and say that tim walz handled that situation should well, we know that tim walz, listen to george floyd's family. he actually intervened and made sure that the state prosecutor took over from the county prosecutor, right. so these are steps that i think showed the listening that he does the empathy that he has for families. and i think that's actually going to reflect well on him, not negatively. ryan. >> i mean, listen, that's all nice. revision is history, but if you look at the independent report that came after you know, what happened in minneapolis, they're extremely critical of the governor. they said he basically froze was dereliction of duty for three days before the national guard came in. so yes, ultimately tim walz, the governor, was able to get it right after three days of abandoned in the city and watching it burn, watching a police station burn, watching businesses go up in flames, watching people get attacked by i think and finally, he stepped in. so sure, president trump is praising tim walz for doing something they sho

jonathan lemire, katty kate and the reverend al sharpton still with us.. what a crazy race it has been this year. yesterday vice president kamala harris spoke with union members in michigan while former president trump held a news conference at mar-a-lago. let's bring in nbc news senior capitol correspondent garrett haake who was in the room yesterday for the trump press event. garrett, some crazy -- i mean, just some crazy claims, and i'm reading,y and -- meandering press conference. i'm wondering what did you hear from the trump team that the purpose that have press conference was. >> joe, it turned into a choose your own adventure news conference from donald trump. the explicit goal was to have the news conference itself, not anything that was actually said in it, but to try to put pressure on kamala harris to face reporters, and to make this announcement that a campaign -- two campaigns that have agreed on nothing up to this point have agreed on something and that's to hold this debate, one debate at least, next month in new york city. that was probab

of our allies was on the phone just earlier with marc morial from the urban league with reverend al sharpton as well with hector baba from me familiar volta so we are actively engaging all of our allies. and we're going to make a really big push because this is discriminatory practice it is prejudicial and he is working to dissuade the latino vote in the state of texas. >> did doj given any indication that they were open to an investigation that they were looking to take next steps they are. i mean, we're waiting obviously for them to take this next step. but i know that they have a process. i know that it isn't necessarily as quickly as we would like it to go. and so our messaging around this is critically important. we don't want any more raids. there is really no evidence at all to say that there actually it has been any voter fraud or any voter harvesting as they've been claiming it's something we will certainly be keeping an eye on in the weeks and months ahead. >> one frown you lulac ceo, really appreciate your time and walking us through this. thanks so much. >> thank you, phil well,

we knew we knew that the crazy thing about this speech was the day before he was so unknown that al sharptonall with obama baraka, like literally got oh, by the him, back, named backward. it's like he was sharpening, was proud of them. we have this new young guy, obama baraka nobody knew who he was and 17 minutes later, he walked off that stage. you knew this guy was going to go all the way. >> well, it just interested i mean, you've worked on a lot of presidential campaigns and just you normally a moment where a lot of hopefuls, they're i think if it was president biden, certainly there would be a lot of people looking with an eye on 2028, but but this does change it now that it is a much younger face on the top of the ticket look this week is about one person and one person only no offense to even our wednesday night's speakers. this is about the vice president in her opportunity not just to introduce herself in her own individual branch to the large swath of the country. but frankly, to try to create some separation from the president. and the last four years here's and i think just in sh

al sharpton still with us -- stood with us. now i'm proud to stand with him today.airer. i know she will do the same. i approve that message. [cheers and applause] >> i love these guys. these are my brothers. these are my brothers. yes indeed. america, i am use of -- i am yusef salaam, a new york city councilman representing my hometown of the bronx. [cheers and applause] representing my hometown of harlem, usa. listen, as my friend corey wise just said, 45 wanted us on a live -- wanted us unalive. he wanted us dead. today, we are exonerated, because the actual perpetrator confessed, and dna proved it. that guy says he still stands by the original guilty verdict. he dismisses the scientific evidence rather than admit he was wrong. he has never changed and he never will. that man thinks that hate is the animating force in america. it is not. we have the constitutional right to vote. in fact, it is a human right, so let us use it. i want you to walk with us. i want you to march with us. i want you to vote with us. [cheers and applause] and, together -- and let me tell

truly has a backbone on which he can call the most powerful people in the world is the reverend al sharptonho joins us here. rev, i want to ask you what you thought of the rollout tonight, but then i want to ask you what the real powers that be are saying about this choice because i know the most powerful people in the world call you for advice. >> yes, joy does call me. i thought the rollout couldn't have been better. when you see that crowd, i mean donald trump has got to be going crazy because this is legitimately a packed house, after she did the same thing in the same arena in atlanta that he was complaining about empty seats. but i think it's not only the crowd, it's the enthusiasm, it's the energy that we've not seen probably since '08 that is really bringing people together across age groups, gender, and race. when you look at tim walz was announced this morning, and i was sitting right in this room with nancy pelosi on "morning joe" when it was announced. the immediate thing i thought about it is he is a guy, gun owner, came as a blue dog congressman who when george floyd happened
