but bernie's speech, i felt like bernie was about to get married. i did not feel that in 2016. i think that's part of the democratic party's success in the fall. >> governor granholm? >> i want to pick up on michelle obama's message on empathy. she said the white house needs someone who knows someone else's experience has value, too, who understands that there are 330 million lives out there who have worth. that empathy component of what she described and felt and made us feel was woven through the entire convention. when you saw all of these montages of real people, just regular folks, the amtrak guy, the fellow at the barber shop who got a call from joe biden because of joe biden's empathy, the reflection of real people in joe biden's experience, it was all tied together in a beautiful bow by michelle obama, who finishes with the words that "empathy is not just feeling but doing and initiating that call to action." i thought it created an inkr incredible story at this convention tonight, and she was the capper. >> scott jennings, what did you think of her speech tonight? >> t

bernie sanders talked about unity. and michelle obama has the greatest moral authority of anyone in public right now, and anywhere there were lulls in the program, she made up for any lulls. >> we have a lot more in our live special coverage. i want to thank mark for joining us. and more of christina and victoria coming up. after the break, we'll get into the big bernie sanders speech. what does it mean in the conversation about progressives, as well as his critique of donald trump. >> nero fiddled while rome burned. trump golfed. >> we'll also look at whether disaffected republicans could be a factor. after listening to republicans for biden tonight. and before the end of the hour, we'll have you all caught up on what to expect tomorrow, with president clinton and aoc rounding out night two. and mark was talking social media, one of the biggest social media stars on earth, cardi b, out with a new must-watch interview with joe biden. we got you covered. you're watching our special convention coverage on msnbc. reinvent

sanders and and look he's got to get past bernie sanders 1st this week and if he does not do well at the sunday debate i think the democratic party goes back to the drawing board and says we may have a problem * on our hands i would not be surprised if they were able to substitute hillary clinton and substitute michelle obama and some time between now and the day that the d.n.c. convention starts which is july 13th i think it will be very unlikely but that is still a possibility and look even jason's right here in the can prescribe someone's mental illness to them and in fact there's even an american psychological association guideline that says if you are not a physician actually treating the individual you are not to assess their psychological association however that didn't stop him s n b c c.n.n. from having people on for the past few years talking and talking about present times mental fitness but here's the big reckoning in the democratic party peter and that is democrats have to ask themselves you're looking at mike bloomberg who has a $1000000000.00 with a b that he said he's

and bernie sanders, for instance. he will only get eight minutes. the average speech will be two minutes. i am also told that aoc is going to help nominate bernie sanders and that is also going to have a separate time to speak the on that, so totally understand the point that progressives are making our about feeling -- about feeling like that is not enough time for a rising star of theirs. but it is important to note that very few people are getting the kind of time they normally would because of these circumstances. host: i want to highlight the viewers to a piece you and john harris day talking to various members of democratic officials. can the democratic party hold together? what was the goal of the peace and what did you learn about the various wings within the democratic party, particularly as the convention starts? guest: me and john harris, founding editor of politico, we interviewed four people to represent the kind of centerleft moderate wing of the democratic party and another to represent the more progressive or insurgent wing. it was a

sanders, bolshevik bernie. he used to be an annoyance on the fringe of the democratic party, an outlier, barely even tolerated. everyone there back then, many democrats embarrassed by sanders radical socialist agenda. now he is the signal caller, leader in the democratic party. he controls the party's agenda, helped coauthor biden's economic platform. in other words, biden plagiarized big portions of it. he is now the mainstream of what is now the democratic socialist party. this is the most extreme ticket of any major party in the history of this country. don't take my word for it, let's just listen to what bernie sanders had to say last night. he's the leader, the economic star for joe and kamala, take a look. >> our campaign ended several months ago, but our movement continues and is getting stronger every day. many of the ideas we fought for that just a few years ago were considered radical are now mainstream. >> sean: that's actually true. no oil, no gas, everything is free, free, freak. unless you pay tax

alabama casts 8 votes for bernie sanders.he great state of alabama casts 52 votes for our next president of these united states, joe biden. >>> alaska, the waters we rely on to feed our families are threatened by climate change. when joe biden was vice president, he and president obama made sure alaska had a say in how these waters were managed. donald trump took it away. we must elect a president to respect our voices. alaska casts 7 votes for bernie sanders and 12 votes for the next president, joe biden. >> american samoa. >> joe biden honors our service and we trust him to support our community. as vice president he helped expand rural infrastructure to communities like ours. as president, he will continue to strengthen rural america from new england to the pacific. >> on behalf of the governor and the american samoa, the democratic party we proudly cast 11 votes for our next president of the united states of america, joe biden. >> arizona. >> as a middle schoolteacher, i know that public educators are doing everything the

bernie. bernie. and that bernie, hillary thing was still going on and i think now without the audience there, with bernie sanders and joe biden having a real relationship and i think we noticed this during the campaign, they disagreed with each other but like each other. they were in congress together forever. they trust each other. the biden campaign has brought in the sanders' people. they didn't agree on medicare for all. that's a problem. but tonight, with having bernie sanders speak, without any people out in the audience to disrupt a nomination process for joe biden might actually help the democrats look like they are unified. >> john king, i'm so curious just to see how this is produced because i mean, it runs the risk of being a, you know, three-hour long infomercial that people don't particularly want to watch or perhaps, it's a very intimate very compelling presentation that's very well produced and brings people to places emotionally that they haven't been. i have no idea, do you?

if it were not bernie himself, certainly progressives that represent the direction of bernie sanders.cents of advice, they can obviously take it or leave it, the biden transition administration should think about not just a token but building them in from the top through the administration. i have a lot of confidence they will do that. >> kamala harris, do you see her as a bridge to the progressives or is it bridge to the establishment? >> certainly a bridge to progressives. obviously she has differences of opinion on some matters. we played those out during the primary, all threw our hat in the ring for bernie sanders to win the nomination, she did too, tried to make the cases for ourselves. now we understand that there's one choice and that's joe biden, but in my view kamala demonstrated that she's a believer of a lot of pieces of bernie's agenda. one quick story for you, chuck, a few weeks ago we were deliberating how to push for $2,000 to every american during this very difficult time. kamala was first on board, talking to bernie sanders directly, saying i want to push this with y

the energy will be with bernie and that is why i think if you do get biden elected will be bernie's agendand that prevails. shannon: here's what we have, the headline says we have come a long way, bernie sanders hail the liberal movement in transition. the sanders activists have refused to join a senator and offering before vice president their unequivocal support underscoring the importance of sanders pitch for unity on the convention's opening night. steve says senator sanders is the only one who had energy so his party is it? >> i agree with steve. bernie had energy because he actually thinks in his mind, all these radical ideas he has pushed for years are finally going to come to fruition because as steve said biden will buy into anything, bernie is in control of this party which is why he is energetic, his two biggest lies, michelle obama said they are trying to steal the election by closing polling precincts in minority neighborhoods and purging voter rolls. is news for michelle, the biggest cities, the biggest counties in the country are all run by democrats. they are in charge of w

sanders had a very prickly course, bernie sanders had a very prickly relationship course, bernie sanderst help democrats in the election. i guess the wisdom here is that bernie sanders is the letter on the progressive wing. he has endorsed joe biden but mr biden needs the bernie sanders supporters, not all of whom are co mforta ble supporters, not all of whom are comfortable with joe biden. that's right but i think that is why this speech from bernie sanders is important and he is going to say that this is the most consequential election in modern american history because of what he is going to say, the threat posed by donald trump. very powerful for democrats to have that message in prime time. he will be followed by michelle obama. her transformation from political spouse, wife of barack obama to bestselling author and political force in her bestselling author and politicalforce in her own right will be off tonight because she is the person who is headlining the coverage. so, a very important 20 minutes coming up here in the programming at the democratic national convention, virtual as

bernie had energy tonight. the reason he had energy?se he actually thinks in his mind that all these radical ideas that he has pushed for years are finally going to come to fruition because as steve said, biden will buy into anything to be in the oval office, so bernie is in control of this party and that's what he is energetic. by the way, his two biggest lies or whoppers that were told, michelle obama said that they are trying to steal the election by closing down bowling precincts in minority neighborhoods they are purging voter rolls. here's news for michelle. the biggest cities in the biggest counties in the country are all run by democrats. they are in charge of where the polling places are and purging the voting rolls. so if anybody is closing down minority polling places in minority neighborhoods and purging roles in our big urban areas, the democrats are doing and i don't think they're doing that. if that was the biggest whopper of the night. >> shannon: all right, very quick, jessica, quick final word from you. >> quick final

thanks tonight, we are going to see everybody from john kasich and the center right to bernie sandersr left and the point obviously is that there is a broad bipartisan coalition that is forming against donald trump. in the past, with ronald reagan, they talked about reagan democrats, he was able to get a lot of blue-collar democrats without the leaders of our party didn't represent them anymore and moved over to the g.o.p. ththe biden republicans, that's pretty effective. >> martha: with regard to the counter of programming that we are seeing from president trump today, here's what he said when he was out on the campaign trail about the fact that so many of these speeches will be taped. watch this. >> i noticed that these conventions are all taped speeches, michelle obama, her her speech is taped. i will dictate my speech, make sure it's perfect, every where it will be perfect. >> martha: it's hard not to notice the contrast here. we are all doing the right thing, being very responsible, doing this virtually, the way it should be done. talking to people in airplane hangars this week.

so bernie is not in the race.t important campaign that we will be waging between today campaignber 3 is a that we call #votetrumpout. if your viewers are on social media, they have probably seen that hashtag. .org,ebsite is votetrumpout and it is a campaign aimed at swing states -- remember, there is only 10 battleground states that will determine whether trump gets a second term. we consider him the most divisive, deceitful, ineffective, incompetent, dangerous president in modern history, who will be even more dangerous in the second term. so even though we were strong bernie supporters in the primary and remain independent and remain progressive, we have this campaign aimed at bernie supporters the young voters, people that are not that convinced about biden, and it is a two-part campaign. votetrumpout.org. number one, we need to eject inmp and t -- eject trump november. two, we need to challenge the biden administration to pay more attention to working-class people, poor people, the struggling middle-class than

bernie sanders and biden have really gotten together.te moment for the campaign because on one hand the biden campaign wants the full throttle support of bernie sanders in the millions of backers around the world. around the country, rather, but on the other hand they don't want sanders to say things about biden that play into donald trump salon that basically the biden campaign has taken over by the left wing of the democratic party. it has to be very carefully calibrated speech we will see how it goes. >> bret: bernie sanders speaking and obviously not lost on anybody but the speech will be receiving former new jersey governor chris christie said about him saying that he saw "backstab her and a untruthful guy on top of all of that, he's exhausting." there's one reaction, brit. >> somebody said about him that he was speaking on the last platform available to him because he dealt himself out of the republican party and has been alienated fromf sometime. very little weight in the party. i'm suspicious -- i suspect he doesn't carry much we

it was a vigorous battle between bernie sanders and joe biden. there was a moment in the campaign that it looks like bernie sanders might well be the nominee and suddenly everything turned in the other direction. unlike four years ago, sanders and biden have been able to reach an accommodation -- not on all the issues, as he made clear last night can they have a difference on health care, medicare for all versus a public option -- there are other issues where they disagree. -- he was all in on defeating president trump that i think that was the sum of his message. whether that will persuade some of his supporters is another question. that will be part of what the biden campaign with the help of sanders and his folks will need to be able to do over the next 70-x days. jonathan: how many political conventions have you covered, dan? dan: well, 20, 21. my first one is a kid was 1968 in chicago, but then i went a long stretch before i hit another one. i have done every one since 1980. that questionk because just to set people's minds, you know the pow

can you explain her position, cosponsor bernie sanders bill?> i think a lot of people struggle to explain her position, which i fundamentally think is what her issue was in failing to g get more traction n the general election. i truly thought she was going to be the most difficult candidate to beat. but he saw and over again n she wowould make a ststrong claim oe debate stage and then ratchet it back in the days anand intervies afterwards. i think ththis over lining to ts -- sililver linining to this is kamala harris was one of the early cosigners of bernie sanders 2017 m medicare for all bill, medicare for all plan, although,, ambiguous in some respects, most certainly to the left of joe biden's plan. i am curious to see if the medea willll ask her and j joe biden o define what is s going on in the space between the two and h how kamala harris isis reconcilingnr acknowledgmentnt that t health e is a humuman rightht, her acacknowledgment especially durg the e time of thisis pandemic tt people should not have to pay for healthth care toto s sur

also, bernie is very unhappy, but actually biden went further left than bernie wanted him to, and bernie is still unhappy. you'll never make this guy happy. >> harris: and a new cnn poll shows joe biden's lead over president trump has significantly narrowed since june. it's now 50% to 46% within the margin of error. we have live team fox coverage. mark meredith is in minnesota where the president is speaking today. i first want to go to jacqui heinrich, who is live and joe biden's hometown of wilmington, delaware. jackie >> harris, democrats are trying to show there is broad support across the political spectrum to vote out president trump. from progressive senator bernie sanders on the far left a former republican governor john kasich. it's going to be an effort to present a united front. you might remember back in 2015 there was a showdown between hillary clinton and bernie sanders at the dnc. this year there's been a lot of consensus building at at the convention. sanders working with biden on joint policy initiatives, and senator elizabeth warren acting as a policy advisor to joe bid

bernie, first of all, has done a lot of work with his supporters.witter and facebook posts from people who say, "do we love the biden-harris ticket? know. wish it were more progressive, but it's much easier to influence a democratic administration, even if it's moderate, than the trump administration." it's important that he will speak tonight and it's even better in 2016 for party unity. that's my prediction. >> melissa: bret, certainly the visuals easier. you won't have anyone they are protesting since it's all virtual. that's one of the benefits ahead of the campaign. i mean, is it possible that it disengages bernie's folks, or even the progressive? you have alexandria ocasio-cortez. they love her, as well. how do you think it all sorts itself out? >> bret: i think the tripping happens on twitter and other social media. i've already seen some progressives say that bernie is not getting enough time, aoc is getting 60 seconds. we'll see how it all plays out. remember, the image they also want to portray as john kasich, former republican governor an

there are ratings saying she was just as progressive as my former boss and bernie sanders. you put those two together plus her identity, and it show as person open conversation, open to moving forward, the movement for black lives has demands around accountability, but you have seen in the past week that what we've seen in the white house is a stark contrast to the possibility of a biden/harris administration that they are building a coalition. they received an endorsement from the working families program. so i'm not as concerned about people not showing up because i do believe with harris on the ticket, the coalition team led is going to have big conversations and do challenge the democratic party as ha whole to have more of these conversations because it seems like with the lineup, they're not listening to the diverse coalition that got us here in 2012 and the coalition that's going to be needed in 2020. >> alencia, you say warren calls her an inspiration and she's unafraid. i love those categorizations. >> alencia, let me try it one more time. is kamela harris eligible
