ari, what do you say?i: first of all, and my beautiful state of new york, the attorney general's one of the most partisan figures. this attorney general ran on an anti-trump platform and an anti-republican conservative platform. this is how the office gets politicized. on the merits of this, there's always two sides to a lawsuit. let's see what the nra says. they have to defend themselves here. i don't know the facts. on the politics of it, this is one of the dumbest, biggest mistakes and attorney general or anyone can make an election year. this is going to energize gun owners across america, as if they're not energized already. if you think there is a threat to your second amendment rights before, wait until the democrats now try to get rid of the organization that represents gun owners. this, politically, is going to backfire big time on the democrats. of course, as a suit, it'll play out over the years, not weeks. the politics is playing out immediately. >> harris: jessica, your response? >> jessica: i

i'm ari melber. you're watching live special convention coverage right here on msnbc. confusing like, "why am i sitting here in a hospital gown waiting to get my eyes checked?" ready? absolutely not. see, having the wrong coverage can mean you get the wrong care, or you're paying more than you have to. that's why i love healthmarkets, your insurance marketplace. they make sure you have the right coverage, health insurance, medicare, and yes, dental too. wow, think that's painful? wait 'til he gets the bill. a cavity can cost as much as $350 and a root canal, whoa. but with healthmarkets, for less than a dollar a day, you can save a bundle every time you go to the dentist. exams, cleanings, and x-rays, those are covered at 100%. that sounds free to me. plus healthmarkets has plans with coverage for fillings, crowns, dentures, even root canals. with over 200,000 dental providers to choose from, it's easy to get the care you need. heck, there's even options with no waiting periods. call today, and you c

bush and fox news contributor ari fleischer. ari, let me start with you. the fact we don't have the body cam footage is going to make this so much more difficult. what do we do from here? >> ari: we hesitate. we have to allow facts to come in. look, this is distressing. anybody who watches that, your sympathy goes out. how can you shoot somebody in the back. we don't know everything that took place. we don't know the circumstances. we don't know why they did that. was it cold blooded murder or did they have a justification thinking that either their lives could have been in danger or that the children's lives in the backseat could have been in danger? we don't know. i'm just mindful about what happened in ferguson, missouri, where michael brown was involved in the police shooting. rye it yous took place -- riots took place. the justice department looked into this and determined it was self-defense. clearly this is not self-defense by the officers but but is there something we don't know and we haven't seen? hes tate. we are open to either side. let the fac

ari, right now, they're expecting that river to crest at 15 feet. elevation of the city, max, is 15 feet. you can do the math on that one. we're very fearful of what it's going to do. >> understood. i hope everyone in those areas is watching and preparing, as you say, and doing what they need to do. we'll have coverage throughout the night. bill karins, thank you, sir. >>> we're going to fit in a break and boy, has this been some news day. i have something very special. it's an exclusive so you literally won't see it anywhere else. it's after this break, and it involves "curb your enthusiasm's" jeff garland and our friend, richard lewis, on how to get through what we're living through. s, on how to get through what wee 'r living through it's my 4:10 no- game-day migraine medicine. it's ubrelvy. for anytime, anywhere migraine strikes without worrying if it's too late, or where i am. one dose of ubrelvy works fast. it can quickly stop my migraine in its tracks within two hours, relieving pain and debilitating symptoms. do not take with strong cyp3a4 i

good evening to both of you. >> thanks, ari. >> good evening, ari. >> good evening. thank you.rin, we saw that diversity which political experts, frequent news viewers will know is not necessarily matched by the rank and file of the party itself. but more casual viewers may not know that. i'm curious what you thought of the faces, the opening emphasis tonight. >> yeah, ari. i think that the optics were certainly there in, you know, the president trying to show that he has a range of support, although to your point that does not necessarily translate to the rank and file in the party. certainly not in his administration. and not really in the electorate that put him into office. in 2016. but you did have, like you said, senator tim scott from south carolina, former ambassador nikki haley. but then you also had people like the mccloskeys who as you know were brandishing their weapons, exercising their second amendment rights, you know, before peaceful protesters who they characterized tonight as an angry and violent mob. and so that was somewhat a dissonant message. and you had t

>> ari, tonight really sent an amazing message. we saw it was a state of the union speech where the president was doing out pardons like he brought paper towels to americans in puerto rico suffering. we thought this was a 2020 campaign and it's not. you have a democratic party running an election campaign and you have the republican party putting on a circus while they work to dismantle the democratic process. i can't even break down the number of ways that people were lying this evening because every other word that came out of everybody's mouth was a lie. i can't break down all of the norms that were broken this evening because every single person involved was breaking every single aptly decent norm about american politics that we know. what we saw tonight is an organization that has dedicated itself. the president is using a presidential ceremony with so many different people, handing out pardons, blatantly lying about what this government has done. this is just a keep donald trump in power and that's what it's going to be for t

>> it's interesting, ari. i mean, you know, thinking about to 2008, 2007, we had never seen anything like the obamas before. and michelle obama in some ways, you know, breaking so many stereotypes about womanhood and beauty was even more revolutionary than her husband in many ways and to many people. and i think there's so many echoes of that in the democratic ticket this year. this is really about things coming full circle. so we had michelle obama breaking barriers years ago, and now we've got the first african-american, the first black american woman and indian american woman to be a vice presidential candidate. and i think, you know, it's about generating that excitement, but also it's going to be some comfort food to democrats two i think are still shell shocked frankly not just from what happened four years ago, but from the past four years, the past four months, this is about getting people excited and getting them motivated to go to the polls. >> danielle? >> you know, you can't go wrong with michelle

ari, you were kind. the list of promises broken, i mean, good health care, building the wall, infrastructure, balancing the budget, you know, repealing obamacare, i mean, it is a very long list. >> but we are cherry picking. >> right. it is a very long list of broken promises. so they've tried to make a theme of this week promises kept. no. no. no. that's a lie, too. and i feel for that guy and i think it is great that he came on your show but we do know one thing for sure, there will be lying tonight. >> shawna? >> again, i think one thing i am interested in, something nick said, he said the president is going to talk about what america is or what his view of america is and what american values are and i'm really curious to know if his view of america, because a lot of what we have seen over the course of the last three days is probably not the same view of america that the people who are protesting in the streets of kenosha, wisconsin have. if that lines up at all with anybody who doesn't look like him

he is telegraphing what the main message is going to be, i think, at least -- that's the plan, ari. and that is the whole law and order message. if you let joe biden become president, there's going to be on going violence in the streets. the suburbs won't will save. this is an attempt obviously to bring back parts of the coalition that helped trump win in 2016. but that he lost in 2018. suburban women for instance, who have gone away from trump. he is trying to scare people back into the fold as it were. and while that may seem obvious, as you mentioned before, those of us who follow it as a gran yal level, it could be very effective as campaign messaging has been. it has been effective going back to richard nixon and before. >> we're running over on time for the segment. you said soeferific. does it mean to cause sleep? >> it does. you are tusing my vocabulary? >> late at night, still bringing. an s.a.t. level word, i think. >> i appreciate that. it's the old english major in me. it's not nearly as late for me. i'm allowed to be more awake than you are. >> we are advise you to have

what is that all about, ari?his sounds a little clinton-esque, or maybe obama-esque here. >> laura, let me remind you of the island of manhattan where i was born, 85-15 democrat in every presidential election, 85% democrat, 15% republican overwhelmingly democrat, even wall street wall street is. democrats increasingly have become the party of the rich and republicans are becoming the party of the working class blue-collar people, especially under donald trump. i think two political things are going to happen now that harris is named. one, this race is going to tighten up even more. the reason is because biden naming her reminds people that biden exists. he is so much better off hiding in his bunker and not making any news than he is making news. secondly, i just question whether or not this is going to boost african-american turnout at all. i don't think it will. she's just not that historically exciting to african-americans certainly wasn't during the primary, and that was one of the biggest reasons biden picked

now i want to bring back ari fleischer.ptain david doran gave an absolutely searing and heart-wrenching speech tonight. >> how did we get to this point? are so many young people are callous and indifferent towards human life. dave is never never coming back to me. he was murdered by people who didn't know and just didn't ca care. he would've done anything to help them. violence and destruction are not legitimate forms of protest. they do not safeguard black lives. they only destroy them. president trump understands th this. has offered federal help to restore order in our communities. we must heal before we can affect change. but we cannot heal amid devastation and chaos. president trump knows we need more david's in our communities, not fewer. >> laura: ari, you juxtapose comments like that from and dorn, obviously a heartbroken woman come up with what we are seeing outside of the white house, and your heart has to break for america, and those men and women out there in uniform who have to tolerate abuse night after night

. >> thanks, ari. >> good evening, ari. >> good evening. thank you.rin, we saw the diversity which political experts and frequent news viewers will know is not necessarily matched by the rank and file of the party itself. i'm curious on what you thought of the opening emphasis tonight. >> yeah, i think the optics were certainly there in the president trying to show that he has a range of support, although it to your point does not necessarily translate to the rank and file in your party, certainly not in his administration, and in the electorate that put him into office in 2016. but you did have, like you said, senator tim scott from south carolina, nikki haley, and then the mccloskeys, brandishing their weapons before peaceful protesters who they charact characterized as an angry and violent mob. this was a somewhat dissonant message, and you had that happening throughout the evening. i don't know that that was the message that was necessarily about expanding an electorate so much as shoring up, you know, his supporters and his base. i think that mos

>> well, first, ari, i haven't read all thousand pages yet. i have a day job at stanford but i have skimmed it. i'd say three things. was it wrong that the trump campaign to seek help from russians to win the election, the answer is absolutely yes. and here's a thousand more pages to document that they did that. that's what the american people need to understand. they sought help from putin to win in 2016. but number two, they haven't said that they're not going to do it again. that's what's so outrageous, four years later. asked many times, would you take aid from a foreign government, trump said time and time again, i'd have to consider it. they will accept no help from any foreign government and for reasons i find totally inexplicable, trump wants to provide more attention to this by seeking a meeting with vladimir putin before the election. now, i don't know why, i don't understand it, i find it very strange that four years later after all this has happened, the logical political thing for me, i'm not a politician but it would be, maybe i

ari, to you first. what was the moment for you that had the most impact on what they wanted to accomplish tonight? >> you know, the biggest and you add up for the three days is the first time in four years, people are praising donald trump. this is unheard of sound in america. people are so used to the controversy and all the fighting and all the media opposition to him. the first time, people can see groups of americans from all walks of life say good things about the president, his accomplishments and plans for the future. that is what is striking. if you reinforce something everybody knows, you don't gain ground. but if you hear something, new, that's how you gain more ground in politics. the outreach. the appeal that the president is making to the african american community. he started in his policy and the state of the union and knew here in his convention is so welcome and it's important to the president and to the party and necessary. >> laura: i don't think you saw that to that extent in any pre

i'm ari melber with all the highlights. the democrats formally nominate joe biden tonight, with a virtual roll call vote, and allowing the nation to hear from dr. jill biden. who spoke about their love story and personal family losses. democrats also serving up a rebuke of trump's leadership by general colin powell, and a thrashing of donald trump's well-documented shortcomings handling covid by president clinton. >> denying, distracting, demeaning works great if you're trying to entertain or inflame. but in a real crisis, it collapses like a house of cards. it's trump's us versus them america, versus joe biden's america, where we all work together. >> and a nomination for the runner-up, bernie sanders, with first-term congresswoman alexandria ocasio-cortez, who spoke for about a minute. >> in a time when millions of people in the united states are looking for deep, systemic solutions to our crises of mass evictions, unemployment, lack of health care, and out of a love for all people, i hereby second the nomination of senat

now to "the beat" with ari melber. this is week when democrats made history with the diversity of their ticket and the sitting president admitted to a plot to literally take voting rights hostage and then argued maybe it was all a bargaining position. tonight these new developments add to it. exposed by trying to limit how mail-in ballots will be counted. most states are now getting warnings that some votes may not be counted at all of that's a constitutional issue if it happens anywhere and politically, you can see eight key battle ground states that could decide everything. take for example, arizona which admits ballots may not be counted based on how they're mailed in. it would be, the trump administration openly admitting to restricting your voting rights. now, they claim it is largely for budgetary reasons. many independent experts have an obligation to tell you about this, say that is a lie. they say this is election interference. an effort to sabotage the election playing out in plain sight. as for the donald tr

so it doesn't get any better than this, ari. >> both of you are talking about slam dunk cases. slam dunking your points, and as you say if the evidence holds it's something any american can understand because it's a gofundme page for the wall, and they're saying the money went elsewhere, and they've written bannon being hands on, being personally involved. so sort of an ignorance after lunch defense would be hard to make. i should note we interviewed steve bannon here in msnbc's the beat in the mid-term and it was a different group because he had different operations, but i did press him on the question at the time about how much money he had and where he was getting it and why he was so secretive. it may look a little different by the lights of today's news. take a look. how much money does your group have? >> we've raised quite a bit of money. >> over a $5 million am. >> over $5 million. >> over $10 million? >> i don't want to put a specific number on it. i think it's fair to say we've got enough resources and even more resources pouring in from donors. we're eventually going
