>> alex, exactly right. home state. the crowd here is very excited that he is making this important stop. as you mentioned, there are policies in play here, nebraska at the state of maine is not a winner take all, it is split up by congressional district. so, the democrats could pick up a congressional vote in the district of omaha similar to what president biden did in 2020. to see voters and also come here to visit his home state here. they could pick up that electoral vote here in november. the sisters that had governor walz as a teacher here couple years ago, was to listen to what i had to say. >> i was so excited. our cousins actually had him as a teacher growing up in nebraska. he has of the midwest means. >> it's so great to see such a large gathering of support. >> it has totally re-energize the young democrats and young people of america. >> having lived through the 70s as a young voter, i am very excited to see women come to the forefront for this. >> so, as you heard there, they are energized, the

alex exactly. and by the way, you've heard about the roast of unknown attack 6 days ago. well, earlier today that hit it again, you kind of lost the drone attack and hit what was the left of the oil refinery just with the firefox is still, they've had it under control. and now it's a blaze again. so this time, the rating for the kerosene storage facilities as well, tennessee is a vital fuel for any conduct of any kind of industrial level conflict. and so this looks like this refineries out of action yesterday. ukrainian drones hit the port of tough cars, sank a ferry with some oil oil delivery trucks on it. but what this shows this, this port is white next to the coach bridge. one of the most heavily defended areas on the us. and it shows you that you create new muscles and now getting through russian air defenses. and the curse bridge is going to be increasingly vulnerable. but of course, it's not just about a low rings jungle. it's also up close and personal fighting. you have an attack and carpet by ukrainian units of brigade size. this is roughly 6 to 8000 troops back

>> alex: delightful. he's exactlys chose him, there's a little bit of biden in him, in his kind of working-class real talk good guy persona. he came up with the weird moniker for trump and j.d. vance which was just kissed her he set it on my program and i was like wow, that is so good. that's all he could conjure into the campaign and it would've been enough. he's a credibly normal and he too is joyful. there is nothing to be said for, what has it been, 786 years of bad news, dark, dark visions of america. american carnage. tombstones littering broadway or whatever trump was painting a picture appeard to have this book coming in and saying it can be better. it will be better. we are here to help. >> stephen: one of the things is that people actually like to see people who like each other. >> alex: yes! >> stephen: say what you will about any amount of loyalty people offer donald trump, trump doesn't like them. >> alex: he doesn't like his running mate. it's not clear he likes his wife. i don't even know if he likes hi

here's nbc's alex seitz-wald following this for us. what exactly has he been saying, alex?, chris, attack dog has been a traditional role for any running mate. the idea is they can get their hands a little bit dirtier than the nominee, on the trail constantly. walz is doing it in his own unique sort of mid western way. take a look. >> you feel it, these guys are creepy, and yes, just weird as hell. that's what you see. that's what you see. over those next 91 days and every day in the white house, i'll have vice president harris's back, every single day. and we'll have yours. >> so walz, of course, came up with that term weird that he first labeled republicans with, and then kamala harris and the entire democratic party started using it. that really caught the eye of the people who were involved in the vice presidential selection process according to our sources. they liked that it was kind of down to earth, regular conversational english, cut through the typical political rhetoric and jargon that we're used to, and they liked that they got beyond the policy, beyond the kind

always here when they're tearing stuff down things from here were the last to leave that's it exactly. but alex, i mean, what what stands out to you as we wrap this thing up the last thing i will say is that race for the democratic nomination. >> the next one is already underway this week, all the governor shapiro, governor whitmer, governor pritzker, they were all making the rounds at nevada new hampshire. all these delegation yeah, it's pretty underway. so regardless of what happens in november be on the lookout for that. >> but the question is, it's incumbent on if she wins in november, we could be 16 years away from any of them having their shot. so that's why these are so interested yeah. and guys also quick thought on rfk junior i mean, he he went from okay. this is somebody who could make a real difference in this race because he was polling at 10%, maybe plus in some of these states, it's not that anymore. does that make a big difference if he comes out as we expect and get behind donald trump today. >> look, i think on the margins it certainly can make a difference. i've met many rfk j

so this was difficult and exactly as alex said, you know, you had the cia got a lot of the state department folks working on this. the folks in the embassies around the around all of these different countries working very hard as well, preparing for these conversations. lining up sometimes going up to the secretary of state, sometimes going to nasa security adviser, sometimes the conversations were at the presidential level. a couple of times we've heard that president biden had to get on the phone with a couple of these leaders to see if he couldn't convince them to let the russians go, who were in those jails we even heard from jake sullivan who got choked up today talking about what this was like. >> and you can he was referencing some of the meetings he had with the families and you can imagine, normally not good news and the frustration that families must be experiencing just in hearing this reporting, kim, i mean, call me a cynic. >> how did none of this leak is it because what was at stake was just that important that people said it fits, gets out, it could take everything they talk

conversation might've been recorded, didn't they know what he was talking about it was exactly which but it was close to that. alex'sr was no, dean would not have known, they were very few of us that new, that's where this came from and picked up the thing i was a continuation i thought he was answer my question rather than sanders question until i looked. as for soon asd we heard that they said your recording then we asked him the matron of the system. >> only thing i remember differently from what scott just said i remember the piece of paper early on certainly after 2:00 o'clock in the foursi hour session in scott was the leadta investigator. i remember only one sheet of paper and when they said with mike this have come from i looked at this thing and it looked like a transcript and verbatim transcript p for president, d4 d and it made sense, i did not file the discussion but i thought this had to come from the tapes the very thing i'm worrying so much about. so i said this looks very detailed the president had great retentive powers but this is to detail for them i said finally and i panicked and i threw back an

alex, who are cat ladies for harris. that's, "a," hysterical, and "b," exactly the kind of thing you need -- you need new people in politics who are organizing themselves, and it's a super great sign if you're the harris campaign. >> i don't mean to wax too poetic about it, but it's also a good sign for democracy because you have what a historian calls bridge building. this is her assessment for republicans for harris, it builds on a democracy promoting strategy, brilk building where promotion of spaces and occasions that bring people of opposing political beliefs into contact where they may exchange goals to pursue. is that guilding the lily too much? >> i agree with tim. civic engagement is wonderful, and part of the reason why you like having 15,000 people out at the phoenix rally is they're talking it out with their communities. from campaign manager perspective you've got those people signed up as well and that's great information to have. these rallies, these events on zoom are wonderful for data, building a movement that goes beyond your core base. as we head into the post labor day period of time in the last few we

alex, our cat ladies for harris. that is hysterical and also exactly the kind of thing you need.d new people who have not been involved in politics who are organizing themselves, and it is a super great sign if you are the harris campaign. >> i don't mean to wax too poetic about it, but it also might be a good sign for democracy that you have what an historian calls bridge building. this is her assessment of republicans for harris. it bills on a proven democracy promoting strategy, bridge building, or the creation of spaces and occasions that bring people of opposing political beliefs and to contact so they may exchange views and find common goals to pursue. is that building the lily too much? >> no, i agree with the gym. the civic engagement is wonderful and part of the risk you like having 15,000 people out at up rally is not that 15,000 people showed up. they are talking about it in their communities and are excited to talk about it with their neighbors. by the way my campaign manager perspective, you have those people signed up as volunteers who are now going to go out and pr

so alex 1st will bring this up to speed with what exactly is going on in the us government at the name of the ukrainian and boats are still ongoing, but it's slowing down to a cruel, expressed in hundreds of meters. now, robin, the columbus is expressed in the 1st few days of the votes. ukraine's be negotiating with russia to swap the hundreds of russian po deputies that they seized in the 1st days. now for p, o w, use the russia holes. but the main thing is being this graduate version of the russian red line saying that no western weapons should be used in cruise, or indeed a rush approved. but now you please just go on ahead and ignore that. the reports of u. k. challenge at times, operating in cost and to the canadian defense ministry last night said, the weapons is donated liquid tanks, a ton of resistance, infantry fighting vehicles that you've trained can go right ahead and use them in cost if it needs to. lexical isn't the only from doing this on going more, i mean, what's been happening elsewhere and it's comforting me of the so in the east, the move across because wanted evacu

alex good tablets cell just here as defense. it is a fiscal. can you just give us an idea of exactly what is happening in coast now? ukrainian forces still on the ground there. yes. pretty much so. so you've had, you have $76000.00 civilians evacuated from cost in as a fine, obviously the still expecting the ukrainians to advance the russians and now bringing up a quite substantial reinforcements now to try and stems ukrainian tide. so we're seeing ukrainian missiles and drones being shot down by new and defense units from russia, that people both up to try and defend course can self. also, there are port smell, the russian soldiers are starting to dig in and form defensive lines. this has been very effective now elsewhere in the war and will hopefully, according to the russians try and stop their phones as well. so yes, so the fighting seems to be intensified and the russians are now taking it seriously enough, but the still cooling an on to terrorism, opperation robbins, the military and caution that it is what we're given the fact that this is in russian territory. home thera thing is this for letting me a perso

alex hogan live in tel aviv. how soon could iran strike began. >> that's exactly the question the people here on the ground have been day especially as they go to sleep every night, when will this attack that is very likely when will it happen but i want to mention breaking news coming across the wires this hour reports of two rockets being fired at the i rocky and al-assad airbase which houses the u.s. troops no reports just yet of any injuries or damage but we will continue to follow that. as you mentioned the main threat that people feel in the region is the potential of an iranian attack and iran says that likely will happen and it will be severe, this is a look at the u.s. presence that we can see within the middle east with the navy fleets that are en masse all around the region as israel is here trying to shore up support from its allies in washington and it will come to israel's defense. today west general michael gorilla is an here meeting with the chief of the general staff talking security and strategy. this weekend israel held the defensive talks on the likely kinds of attacks that iran could carry out i

. >> steve: alex, i want to get your opinion of the opinions of other people who saw exactly the same> she was very connected to her words. she seemed strong. she seemed competent. she seemed like someone who could be president of the united states. >> i mean, she is brilliant in her answers on both those questions. the first question about her values haven't changed and she does what's right on all these hiciousz. >> and she answered every question. now, you might not like the way she answered them but she answered them as a capable, qualified leader. >> she said, look, i ultimately said this is what i was going to do. i kept my word, and i will keep my word again. i thought that was the strongest argument she could put forward. >> steve: so that's what is going on on some of the other channels. alex, what do you think about their analysis of the analysis. >> isn't it remarkable the two different kamala harris america is seeing the one we saw last night, you know, talked about the time and deadlines on time which are the best kind of deadlines to have, of course. the one the media sa

alex. this is one of the more odious people in recent american political history, but also not exactly thexpect to be engaged in good cyber hygiene. this is what an adversary does. and thinks about duke, who is probably going to be sloppy with his email, sloppy with his phone, who might have access to other people's information that we want because it would be in his inbox. they found an easy mark in roger stone to try to access documents they wanted from the trump orbit. that appears to be what happened here. we don't necessarily know the motivation. a government might want to demonstrate it can penetrate the defenses of american presidential campaigns. may want to sow chaos within the u.s. political system. it may want to benefit one candidate or another. that is something that is a different assessment. what is not a hard assessment is roger stone appears to have been an easy mark here. >> thank you for putting the words roger stone and hygiene in the same sentence, been. we can't un-see that visual. when you talk about iran's motivation here, i want to go telescope, 30,000 feet out whi

. >> i offer this as a caution, alex, they've run two presidential elections, they know their voters, that's a huge advantage. we don't know necessarily exactlyrger. it could be larger if young people turn out but it means the work for us is harder to make sure we are trying to reach out to you on what might have been the biden turnout vote, and tried to talk to people and not assume that we already know where they are at because harris could turn and move persuasion. but is going to require the organizing, person to person. >> always good to talk to you, my friend. >>> when we come back, the days of conspiracy theorists searching for evidence of election fraud, may not be behind us. there's a chilling new reporting laying out why 2024 could be maybe even more chaotic than 2020, that is next. and so did our business needs. the chase ink card made it easy. when you go for something big like this, your kids see that. and they believe they can do the same. earn unlimited 1.5% cash back on every purchase with the chase ink business unlimited card from chase for business. make more of what's yours. hey folks, chris counahan here with leaffilter, a

exactly. >> it's that backdrop just adds urgency to what is already urgent urgent situation. alex.ou so much, sir. >> all right joining me now to discuss all of this as the ranking member on the house foreign affairs committee, democratic congressman gregory meeks, look since more we just heard this from alex marquardt. >> since the more moderate leader of hamas, who was outside of gaza, gaza, ismail haniyeh was assassinated in iran and the parties aren't are left to negotiate with the more hard liner yahya sinwar the mastermind of the october 7 attack. i mean, what are the chances that this can be brought together in a ceasefire? now, after all of this with iran promising retaliatory attacks, or hezbollah as well. >> well, you are correct. i think that we will closer before the assassination because where we need to be is negotiating and have a ceasefire. i feel a little bit better this morning because i know the dialogue and conversation is taking place and but qatar and egypt and jordan all participating and that puts some additional pressure on israel now agreeing that they're

exactly. harry littman, and valuable perspective on this. thank you for your time, my friend. >> thank you, alexh ali velshi in for lawrence. >> you put a lot in that discussion. tanya chutkan

exactly. harry littman, and valuable perspective on this. thank you for your time, my friend. >> thank you, alex. >> that is our show for tonight. now it is time for the last word with ali velshi in for lawrence. >> you put a lot in that discussion. tanya chutkan is known to be measured, and that is going to be crucial here. this will be under a microscope matter what happens. everything she does and how she carries herself. i appreciate that discussion, thank you my friend, have a great weekend. >> you're welcome, have a great show. >>> kamala harris has made history once again. today the vice president became the first black woman and indian-american woman to earn a major party nomination after the dnc chair jamie harrison announced that she has enough delegates to be the nominee. now, she will officially become the nominee when voting closes on monday, but she is got enough delegates already. vice president harris called in today's virtual rollcall to celebrate crossing the threshold. >> later this month we will gather in chicago, united as one party. we are going to have an opportunity to ce

alex portal. at the same distance , the young prospect finished eighth. the first day of belarusian writing, one of the main cultural events of the country, was enshrined in the poster by the president of belarus exactly 30 years ago, and now every year the relay race read its passes from region to region. the head of state sent greetings to the participants and guests for the day of belarusian writing, emphasizing the importance of preserving and developing the national cultural heritage. today in ivatsevichi there is a record number of writers more than 150 creators. but only a select few were announced as winners of the national literary award. the ceremony has already taken place at the grand opening of the day of writing. whose names are inscribed in the new chapter of the most literary tradition of belarus knows lidiya zablotskaya, our cultural observer in the epicenter of the lida holiday. over to you. i'm changing. so, literally, the pages there are all book lovers, who have gathered together as saints in the ivatsevichs, who will become headliners tomorrow. on the book fingers of all stores in the country. six names, six books, prose, top stories, publications, and well-known experts. i know

exactly what's going on. and it absolutely is not an acceptable path. and i commend you, alex, for having to spin something that is just completely unsustainable. >> to me. he is going to continue to do that. the republican talking point now and the spin is that, oh, what he meant was that she's phony know what he meant is what he meant because he's a sexist, he's a massage tennis, and he's a racist and so he's going to continue to do that as a democrat, i say bring it on. this is not going to do anything to add voters that he needs to win. it's going to do everything to alienate blocks of voters. and so she, kamala harris is going to focus on what she wants to do for the country for the next question to a point did alex raised does the vice president have to answer directly whether she was honest and open about a decline of the president's abilities. i am sure she will get asked that when she gets in front of the media and i'm sure she will answer it. i think that is a phony theme that republicans are trying to use because again, i think they are so concerned about running ag

will joined by cnn's alex marquardt and alex, what a complicated web of diplomacy that brought this over the finish line. all the countries involved how exactly the this deal come together. >> so many parties involved, so many countries involved, you mentioned jake sullivan, of course he the white house, the president intimately involved with this process roger carstens, the hostages goes here at the state department, would have laid out the basic framework, the landscape of the deal. but i'm told that the middlemen, essentially the people doing the shuttle negotiating that was the the cia director and bill burns. and if we look back on this timeline, about 18 months after brittney griner was exchanged for the merchant of death, death victor boot, the u.s. got back to work trying to get paul whelan out and i'm told that right after that the cia offered russia a two for one deal to russian spy as in slovenia, for paul whelan, they rejected that a couple of months later, evan gershkovich was detained the cia then went back to the russians in moscow and offered a four for to deal for russian spies in different european countries, for paul whelan

alex good topless. he's in a key for all specialists cost dental, such a bar a. she joins as life from coast in western russia to say you've just arrived in the region. tell us exactly what is happening, where you are of the well, we are in one of the many facilities that is looking after the internally displaced russians that have been forced to flee their homes along the border. so it just to give you an idea of where we are occurs city is about a 130 kilometers east of the border between russia and ukraine. now. a where i'm standing is a building that is known as the circus building in the city. of course, it is usually home to the travelling circus, but since the past 2 weeks, it is now being used as a housing facility for those evacuated. so i'm going to show you the process they go through once they arrive here. the tense you see behind me with the blue cover are where the evacuees 1st register and they give the officials their details. and once they register there, they move along to the front of the building where they wait in line, and they is a long to, and it's been like this all morning since we arrive, as they wait their turn, where they either receive

exactly. please come back at 15 minutes. in 15 minut >> welcome back everybody. my name alexir for the mayor's disability council. friday. we are going to item 7, discussion item. next steps in implementation of electric wheelchair charging stations report. presented by kaplan, city and county of francisco, mayor's office on disability. >> so, as you may recall, in the april mdc meeting, you heard from the san francisco fellows, whodone a asibility of ng into the wheelchair charging stations in the city. they have done research and i havefew a lides for you to rev what you heard from them april, and they made sevel mmentions and presented options that were directed at t mayor's disability co determine what the next steps should be. so, what i've done is taken some of their slides to justreview and remind you of what d and what their recommendations are and en wind up with some specific questions your consideration, hoping that by the end of this part of the agenda, we'll have some direction of where we ne go next to bring isconcept closer to reality. as you recall, several co

we don't know exactly when it will start but again, hamas has not been sending positive signals. a senior hamas official, named, who told abc this was just a delusion, alexter on things. let's hope that president biden's perspective is the one that bears out. thank you. let's go to a new development in the war between russia and ukraine. we have this dramatic video showing a key russian bridge being blown up. ukraine's military says this will impact russia's ability to send supplies there. we have more from kiev and new video of you crying's triumph on the battlefield. before we get to that, where do things stand today? >> reporter: well, alex, ukrainian military officials say they are in the process of strengthening their positions in the russian region while the front line back home here in ukraine remains a priority concern. >> reporter: this morning, new video shows the moment ukrainian soldiers crossed the russian border. in a video released by the ukrainian military, you see the checkpoint in ruins, russian soldiers waving white flags. another shows a ukrainian soldier driving through the bombed out russian countryside unchallenged and then celebra

course, with news again, that we don't know exactly if it is hostage bodies, but simply that the idf has found several bodies there in the gaza. the gaza strip nic alex was just talking there about where these negotiations stand. and of course, the international community watching all of this, but you're there in israel and it's, it's saturday night. we've seen those protests in tel aviv almost every saturday, especially with hostages, families trying to convince the government to accept a deal and get these high such as home. one is what is the feeling where you are when it, when it comes to getting these hostages back the majority of people here would like to see a deal that brings the hostages home. >> and that's that's about more than 60 he percent of the country, almost 70% of the country believes that that is the right thing to do. but actually within the government, that's not the opinion and in fact, the tensions within the government really getting getting bigger and bigger and bigger over this so as a huge blow up on thursday when the prime minister forced a vote on his plan to offer a slightly reduced number of troops along their contentio

alex couple us l just here as a defense. it is a thanks again for being with us. can just bring us up to date with exactly what is happening there. and curtis, with ukrainian forces, but a week on now still on the ground, it is on the bill garage concussions. the really interesting move here. we've seen the bulk of all the government issued evacuation for a board. a district has bought a district wide on the border with ukraine. we've talked about ukrainian and georgian volunteers in this border village, which is about 3 kilometers away. now, is this a diversion? is it a, a trick or a tactic, or is it the spelling of the main for us? because all the advances in cost of slowing down to be rushed as managed to be able to get reinforcements up in the units as well as scratch force of conscripts and anybody else that can find detroit stuff you creating the bonds. they've been using attack helicopters to quite a good effect, knocking out ukrainian tanks and on the vehicles. so the advance bye ukraine isn't as isn't as broad or as wide as it was safety 4 days ago. but bo garage, let's see what happens they have

exactly the way they want. and here's what that story is about. even though california leads the nation in pure electric car sales, there are still doubts. senator alexadilla has arranged for bart to receive $14 million to erect electric vehicle charging stations in their various parking lots. >> if we have charging at bart, it opens up all sorts of possibilities. >> currently, only the lafayette and warm springs bart stations have limited chargers on a test basis. this could be a game changer as it expands on nights and weekends when we're not charging for parking. >> those ev units would still be there and they would be available to folks in the community. public charging infrastructure is seriously lacking. >> there's still a lot more that needs to be done, and particularly for folks who don't have a garage or a dedicated parking spot with an electrical outlet. >> pure electric for me know, because as a renter, you never know if you're going to be able to plug in at home. so then you have to make time. and where i work, my place of business, we do not have plug ins. >> though concerns about range have subsided, the availability of charging station

not exactly knowing what he was looking for but unconvinced with what would ultimately run into one way or the other. the person who asked the direct question was don sanders. and they would ask alex butterfield. to give you background, there was a memo sent to fred thompson from but as part --buzzhart, being one half of the replacement -- my replacement of the white house counsel who handled -- aggregate -- watergate. there was a transcript of a summary of all my conversations with nixon that was given to thompson by buzzhart. it was remarkably accurate. this it what makes scott armstrong -- this will, a combination of things. this is a confluence of watergate, was solved in the senate watergate committee uncovering notetaking system. there is a recap of that in a summary form being recalled -- >> i made an organization chart with the white house and here is nixon, here is the. we knew that john did not have notes and there was not paper documentation so we have to figure out who else would know. we made a satellite chart of everyone who was in touch with nixon and me. --dean. you can look at this flow chart information flowed and you see the office. there was a guy patrolling in

alex could help us out. 0 is defense. it is that thanks very much for being with us. festival, can you tell us a little bit more about the region and exactly why ukraine has been targeting this area in particular? so you have to do k part react to that you mentioned as well. and you've also got a significant gas infrastructure based in the country, as well as a russian field that ukraine's been trying to destroy. but what this, this raid was initially and still is, is a diversion re tactic is designed to do. russian troops away from the, on that square ukrainian forces. so slowly but steadily starting to lose the battle . and another thing is, was also an incredible morale booster for you creating and forces ukrainians and generals drones toys since a russian may do something, but an actual boots on the ground in cash. it, it really is something else. so boosting tomorrow, a place to ukraine and military strength as well, which is tactical for both sides. a bore of movement effectively, robin's dyspeptic, positional stuff has been going on and on that which plays to russian strength as well. because that force has a larger and they have in

what exactly transpired on that day ending with the stark words, if donald trump is re-elected, he will never be held accountable for what he did that day. it's been a remarkable night. r >> alex was just putting this out about disunity or commonality of outreach, big tent, trying to build the progressive majority, you are invited in and we got to this moment in a strange way. nt the democratic party did not have a primer. they had this crazy speed run and had three weeks of the most anguished internal debates i've covered in my life or career. that led to this moment of unity but underneath that, some people are trying to say this unity g is fake. with the notable exception of israel and gaza, which is a very polarizing issue, which as of yet, is unresolved. on the issue of democratic domestic policy, there is just a tremendous amount of unity. walz, when he was named, joe manchin came out and said, look, tim walz . there is no enormous tectonic battle on domestic policy, there is still a huge battle about israel and gaza and if folks representing the palestine community will be able to speak on the stage. that is a sort of exception to the role that has been on other areas o

it was always suggested to me that as soon as sir alex ferguson departs the scene, that's when the problems would start. and they were right. exactlyt into freefall almost immediately as it happened. they went from premier league champions to finishing seventh. the following year they finished eighth. last season they did win a trophy with the fa cup, made a couple of signings in the summer, had their strategic football review where they effectively looked for a new manager and then decided that, oh, we can't find anyone. so the current bloke is going to have to do. and that increased. erik ten hag's power base in some ways, was ten hag there from the beginning? no, he was. well, he was yeah, he was there for he joined in the summer of 2022 and he's made some progress in cup competitions. but it's the league. that's where manchester united really want to make some progress. and they just haven't doneitin progress. and they just haven't done it in the last couple of years. but why not? because well there's it's bedraggled by the players are bedraggled by by the weight of expectation. that's what's really going on here. and some of t
