jill biden. here's milwaukee mayor tom barrett leading off the second day of the convention. >> mayor tom barrett. hi everybody. i am the proud mayor of milwaukee. i would love to welcome you to my home city right now. the good people of milwaukee and i were so excited when we return -- learned a resilient city was chosen to host dnc. it was the first time a major political party chose wisconsin to hold its convention. but these are not conventional times. all know,t, as we this is not a conventional convention. and as much as we would have loved to host you in person, i am proud the democratic party in the city of milwaukee have made the health of our residents our number one priority. unlike the president, we have -- covid-19 ar hoax. unlike the president, we have never made fun of face masks. and unlike the president, we have never belittled her public health experts. we understand that our public health experts. we understand why we can't be together, and we hope you do too, and as our party

jill biden. here is a portion of last convention. , a nomination i am honored to second. >> thank you all. pursuant to our convention rules, we will now proceed to a rollcall by states on the selection of our party's candidate for president of the united states. secretary? >> mr. chairman, coming to you live from the wisconsin center, it is time to begin our virtual .rip around america our journey begins at the sight of a major step forward in our national journey towards justice. let's go to alabama. >> john lewis marched across this bridge in 1965 to demand the right to vote. a lifetime later, civil rights and voting rights remain america's great unfinished business. for those who walked this path before us, they showed us the way forward. if we want to honor john lewis' incredible life, let's restore the voting rights act and ensure our democracy belongs to all americans. alabama casts eight votes for bernie sanders and the great state of alabama casts 52 votes for our next president of these

biden. she said things during the debates during the democrat primary debates that were horrible. about sleepy joe and. >> yesterday, seattle city council voted to cut funding for their police department and the police chief there, the first black woman to serve in that capacity, she resigned hours later. what's that say about our country and the defund police movement? >> i think seattle in spite of all they've been through with the embarrassment of having a radical left group, antifa and others take over, a big portion of the city of seattle, talking about a big city. a major city. that they allowed that to happen is incredible that it took so long to fix. the owners, they went in is because they knew we were going in the following day. they proceeded us. didn't want that. having taken over a city for so long. the police commissioner seems like a very good woman. they were going to slash her salary by 40 or 50% and they cut a tremendous amount off the police department. those police are ar

this was never the joe biden year. 1988 was a joe biden year. 1992 was a joe biden year. maybe 2008 was a joe biden year. it was never supposed to be now, and yet you never know when your moment comes. so you've got to say it's a remarkable journey. he's had an extraordinary career that suddenly now has gotten a little more extraordinary. >> all right, chuck, andrea, everybody stand by. we're just getting started. we've had the official business, joe biden is now officially the nominee of the democratic party. more speeches. we are awaiting speeches from john kerry, colin powell, two former secretaries of state and dr. jill biden just ahead. we'll take a quick break and are back after this. hey allergy muddlers... achoo! ...do your sneezes turn heads? try zyrtec... ...it starts working hard at hour one... and works twice as hard when you take it again the next day. zyrtec muddle no more. i'm looking for my client. i'mi'm so sorry.nt. hey! hey man, you're here! you don't trust me here in vegas, do you? uh, well, i thought we had a breakthrough with the volkswagen. we did,

that is joe biden.joe called it. we are in the battle for the soul of our nation. >> joe knows we can never let hard times turn us against each other. >> we can never stop doing hard work to make things right. >> that is why we ran for office. >> even when people counted us out. >> even when there had never been a latina in the nevada state senate. >> or democrat elected to the florida commission about work culture. >> when birmingham hadn't had a mayor this young in 120 years. >> we ran for office because we know the struggles american families are facing. because we have lived them. >> we have lived the insecurity, the indignity of an eviction notice. bux like many of you, i have lived the frustration of paying off student loans. >> we have lived the grief of losing loved ones to gun violence and the criminal justice system that unfairly targets our communities. >> we have lived the feeling of helplessness on someone you love is very sick and health care is a matter of life and death. >> joe biden has

tonight, we're going to hear much more aboutjoe biden. how you doing? joe biden is my name. joe biden‘s political brand is empathy, a firm handshake, a look in the eye, an arm around the shoulder. he showed it in his first run for the white house way back in 1988. but that bid failed amid questions over the very authenticity he held so dear and a speech that stole too closely from neil kinnock, the leader of the british labour party. why is it thatjoe biden is the first in his family ever to go to a university? why am i the first kinnock in 1,000 generations to be able to get to university? this my ancestors who worked in the coal mines in northeast pennsylvania and who'd come up after 12 hours and play football for four hours... the people who would go to work eight hours underground and then come up and play football... hello, everybody. biden dropped out of that race, but even then knew it wouldn't be his last. there will be other opportunities for me to campaign for president. and 20 years later, he ran again and lost to barack 0bama. but what began as a rivalry turned i

jill biden. >> its dr. biden, our first lady.ill be getting one of the best humans that we have. >> she's been through some really tough things in our own life and knows how hard it can be. >> the american people in theirt heart no, they fight like hell for it. >> we all need community. we need to depend on others for our strength. all american families, we all need each, other. >> and now welcome dr. jill biden. >> i have always loved the sounds of a classroom. the quiet that sparks with possibility just before students enshuffle in. the murmur off ideas bouncing back and forth as we explore that we are all together. the laughter and tiny moments of surprise you find in materials you taught a million times. when i taught english here, i would spend my summer preparingf for the school year about to start filled with anticipation. but this quiet is heavy. you can hear the anxiety that echoes down empty hallways. there is no scent of new notebooks or freshly waxed floors. the rooms are dark as the bright young places that should fi

let's listen in. >> we trust joe biden. joe provides the leadership necessary to bring us back from this awful pandemic. joe has a plan to attack global climate change once and for all. and joe will restore honesty, decency, and trust to the white house, reunite all americans, and build a better future for all. the great state of new hampshire awards nine delegates to our friend and neighbor, bernie sanders, and 24 delegates to the next president of the united states, joe biden. >> new jersey, we've been hit hard by covid. >> o'donnell: earlier, there was a nod to senator bernie sanders who finished second in the nominating process. he earned more an 1,000 delegates during those bitterly contested primaries. congresswoman sharyn alfonsicona ocasio-cortez. >> at a time when millions of people in the united states are looking for deep, systemic solutions to our crisis of mass evictions, unemployment, and lollot pl i herebye, and ou second the nomination of senator bernard sanders of vermont for president of the united states

jill biden. so, for us, it was not even a question of, he would rather take less engagement on some days without having to sing to that level or play that same game. what we have seen is that for the times we are in, there's an enormous desire for content, full some content and folks like that and it connects. you take a look at our videos particularly in the last month and you can see they are moving around the internet very well. >> you mentioned the fun side of joe biden. is he aware of means about him? trends or anything like that? >> yes, he has. and he loves it. onion version the of joe biden. what is funny is, as he found the video of him and the corvette, given to him by his father, he likes old cars and evie haters. -yes- aviators. p has been late wearing them since his teens. it is part of who he has. -- who he is. >> we are 75 days out and fixated on a handful of swing states, wisconsin, arizona, michigan. joe biden needs to win some of those if you want to be the next president. he ca

my word as a biden. you're going to hear that a lot think from joe biden over the curse of this campaign, and the story is touching. the story is this young woman who has to decide whether she's going to marry this fellow happens to be a united states senator, she's ten years younger than his, i believe. he's got two children and a lot of baggage. and i think her answer was remarkable to me. i mean, i haven't even ever thought of that because in a way, she wasn't saying i didn't love joe biden. it just i wasn't sure as a young woman i could take on all of this that he was really asking her to take on and becoming the wife of a senator who had presidential ambitions and she wasn't interested much in politics. >> you know, we as reporters and who have covered joe biden, we know those stories, these very, very sad stories about him losing his wife and young daughter and as a widow marrying and raising two young sons but it always breaks my heart to hear it and when you look at joe biden, you can really see

i have known joe biden for almost 40 years. he is a friend of my dad's, my sister worked for him, my family has known his family and he has been personally, to me, a great friend and mentor. he has decency and integrity and every thing he does, he does with a singular passion to make the lives of those around him better. he has been tested, personally and professionally. he has confronted devastating loss, finding purpose in the darkness and inspiring others along the way to do so as well. and i can speak from experience because when my husband unexpectedly passed away at the age of 52, it was joe biden who found me in a hospital and called me to let me know that things were going to be ok and that i too could serve one day. joe believes in the power of the american spirit, the power to overcome anything and everything . and as he often says, the american people have never, ever let us down and they never will. we are in difficult, dark times. but with joe biden leading us, we will conquer any challenge. when i gave my remarks

biden: great. i love you. how are you? i am jill biden's husband.ou can see why she is a love of my life, the rock of our family. she never gives herself much credit, but the truth is, she is the strongest person i know. she loves fiercely, cares deeply. nothing stops her when she sets her mind to getting something right. >> that from wilmington, delaware earlier tonight. contrasted that with the speech we heard last night from former first lady michelle obama. >> michelle obama spent a lot of time talking about president trump's, as she calls it, unfitness for office, this i did that he is not fit for president, that he is not up to the task. she was simply stating that kind of matter-of-factly, this guy who we are all elected is not ready to do this job. tonight, we hear jill biden really humanizing joe biden for the american people. that is interesting when i think about how republicans or president trump are trying to brand joe biden and turn him into this bogeyman. it has so far not worked a large part because the american people know joe biden

i'm beau biden. and joe biden is my dad. >> some voices are never silenced. >> some work never ceases to change lives. some people never stop inspiring even after they're gone. beau biden was a husband, father, brother, son, soldier, attorney general. he was given just 46 years on this earth. >> he did in 46 years what most of us couldn't do in 146. think about the day that dawns for children who are safer because of beau, whose lives are fuller because of him. think about the day that dawns for parents who rest easier and families who are freer because of him. some folks may never know that their lives are better because of beau biden, but that's okay. certainly for beau, a claim was never the point of public service. >> if you knew beau, you knew he lived by the strictest code of honor, duty, service, country. you never had to ask if he would do something the right way. he didn't know any other way. >> beau didn't cut corners. he turned down an i the payment to be delaware's attorney general so he

that wasn't woke joe biden. that was joe biden talking about how he's going to be an american president working as hard for people who voted against him as he will for people who vote for him. it's not necessarily a message that traditionally one would think would be of this era. although, abbey, i have to say it's possible that that will be enough to get moderate voters and the fact he's not trump will be enough to get progressive voters. but i don't know. what do you think? >> you're absolutely right. that is joe biden. what you see it is what you get. he has been that kind of politician really since the beginning even going back -- if you go back to his first presidential run he is running essentially as a sort of middle of the road type of candidate and somebody who as you saw in his remarks but also in the videos that preceded it, his calling card is being able to bring people together from across the aisle. so that is how he is running, and i'll tell you there has been a lot of push back on that. you know,

that is joe biden. the biden's entire family business if you will for the last decade whether it be his brother his son is close to power and being able to benefit monetarily from that power in china's just the beginning. we know about burisma and we are finding more about them. china is a winning issue especially in the industrial midwest. when those plans went overseas the biden family got rich and they said nice things about the country that i'm put this virus at one our country. steve: lease if you take that and added together with what we have been saying in revealing about kamala harris and the machine politicians. you put that together that's a powerful drain the swamp kind of argument raised just as it was in 2016, don't you think? >> 100% and i think joe biden tries to act like he is this nice guy and that's how he receives -- how he is perceived by the media. i'll give you two examples about the clear profits of the vice president that he didn't care because it didn't impact him and his son wa

joe biden talks about beau biden in glowing ways. a son he obviously lost very recently and tragically on top of the losses in his family years ago. and he talks about the ways in which beau talked about kamala harris and liked kamala harris, and the ways in which he admired beau biden, his son and took him at his word when he talked about kamala harris in the way that he did and talked about their friendship. that was very important to him in terms of thinking about kamala harris as a partner. so that ended up being very key to one of the things that he did hear, which was to pick her, which was to trust her, which is to see her as a loyal partner and above all else as someone who could be president. >> all right. well, we are standing by for the first joint event with joe biden and his new running mate kamala harris. we will bring that to you live. >>> plus, in making his vp pick, joe biden credited his late son's friendship with harris. and up next i'm going to talk to an attorney general who knew them both. how about poor fred wi

it wasn't a biden thing.s a shameful, blue line supporting the most demoralized police in the world. it is disgusting what has happened so just a simple word. now, i don't know if you know, i got a letter from the city. the cease and desist letter to remove that blue line. and i responded to the city with a letter and i said, this letter ain't worth the paper it is printed on and you know where you can put this. did the mayor get a letter from the blm with his artwork on the street? without a permit that we just found out, no he didn't. what about the thousands of other people who desecrated all of these public buildings and now they are on film with graffiti. did any of them get a letter? no, you know why i got a letter i'm a conservative leading artist and a liberal city and i support the men and women in blue. that is discrimination. >> laura: the attacks, scott, on the police are way up nationally. assaults on police, whether being hit with glass bottles or worse. obviously, disrespected doesn't begin to

former vice president biden. i am proud to carry the banner of our party into the general election with great honor and humility paid i accept your nomination for president of the united states of america. ♪ that is joe biden from last night. hey did not mention the president by name, but he criticize the president on several fronts. he expressed aspects of what he would like to accomplish if he becomes president. for is "washington journal" today, august 20 first. today we will take you to the senate hearing featuring the post mentor -- postmaster general. here's how you can call us and let us know your thoughts, (202)748-8000 if you support joe biden, (202)748-8001 if you support the president and if you are undecided give us a call at (202)748-8002. you can text us if you wish at (202)748-8003, and you can tweet c-spanwj. one writer says he gave his remarks absent a crowd because of the health concerns driven by the pandemic. he outlined his solutions to the pain of those struggling without a job or fearful of

biden?'s, you know, the political issue aside, you know, we're concerned about this corruption issue. and, remember, the left tried to remove president trump from office for raising questions about these corruption issues related to biden and his son. and then it's all supposed to go down the memory hole even though it happened five or six months ago -- gregg: right. [laughter] >> we're supposed to r forget it happened. he did getet a potential deal fm china, $1.a 5 billion in managed assets that supposedly was something that had never been before given to someone. gregg: right. >> from outside of china. and then, of course, the burisma deal was a seemingly influence-peddling scandal. they were paying biden's son to provide protection and insurance potentially, so much so as those impeachment hearings confirmed thatra obama administration officials were constantly talking about the issue not only in the white house, but in the state department. and the problem is the justice department doesn

joe biden for president.merica's progressive promise pac is responsible for the content of this a. missions in iraq as aand afghanistan.89 combat as a national security advisor, i worked to keep our country safe. i'm amy mcgrath. now i'm running for senate in kentucky against mitch mcconnell. i can win, but i need your help. with your contribution, we can finally remove mitch mcconnell from office and start repairing the damage he's done to our country. i approved this message... because this is gonna take all of us. >>> the big finish at the democratic national convention begins soon. joe biden on the brink of his acceptance speech. also ahead, a star endorsement from the nba's steph curry. we'll hear more from how joe biden relies on his faith through the best and the worst times. in a new cnn documentary, gloria borger talks to senator chris coons about the dark days when biden's son, beau, was dying. >> i don't know how joe biden had the strength to be vice president and to keep a full schedule and be pre

joe biden.e called it. we are in a battle for the soul of our nation. >> but joe knows we can never let hard times turn us against each other. >> and we can never stop doing the hard work to make things right. >> that's why we ran for office. >> that's why we ran for office. >> even when people counted us out. >> even when there had never been a latina in the nevada state senate. >> or a democrat elected as florida commissioner of agriculture in nearly three decades. >> or an openly gay man in the georgia state legislature. >> when birmingham hadn't had a mayor this young in 120 years. >> reran for office because we know the struggles american families are facing because we've lived them. >> we've lived the insecurity and the indignity of an eviction notice. >> i, like many of you, have lived the frustration of paying off student loans. we have lived the grief of losing loved ones to gun violence and the criminal justice system that unfairly targets our communities. >> we have lived that feeling

children. lam hunter i am hunter biden and i'm ashley biden.a dad and beau as a brother. this is the president our dad will be. tough. honest. caring and principled. he will listen and be there when you had him. he will tell you the truth even when you don't want to hear it. he will never let you down. he will be rocksteady. stronger shoulder you can ever been on. he will beam with pride every time you succeed. he will make your grandkids feel that what they have got to say matters. he will treat everyone with respect no matter who you are. he will get up no matter how many times he has been knocked down. he will be the worst enemy any bully ever saw. he will be the best friend you've ever will be the best friend you've ever had. he will love you with all of his heart. and if you give him your cellphone number. he is going to call it. how do we know? because he has been that way our whole lives. he has been a great father. and we think he will be a great resident. beau isn't with us any longer. but he is still very much alive in our hearts and

joe biden is a man for our times. times that call for all of us to take off our partisan hats and put our nation first for ourselves and, of course, for our children. when america chooses the right path and pulls together, like we've done so many times before, we can dream big dreams. and we can see the top of the mountain, as a united states of america, with a soul that is a beacon of freedom to the entire world. >> former republican governor of ohio john kasich right there talking about why he's endorsing joe biden for president, following other republicans endorsing the former vice president. i want to bring in rahm emanuel for this. you wrote a piece today saying the goal of the biden campaign is to create biden republicans, much in the way that ronald reagan created reagan democrats in 1980. >> in 1980, there were reagan democrats, a cultural landscape allowed that break with the democratic party, working class families. i think donald trump's created a unique opportunity, which are called biden republicans, and

it was joe biden.only his kindness for calling me and being a mentor but goeto how much he cares about our government and what people are saying. and that even when he's at home at night he's tching. and he cares. >> we all want to know, did your mother watch the speech? >> you remember the stake fry waiting to go on worked out to where i was there th same time he was. he pulled me aside at one point he pointed to somebody who we both knew who was working on my campaign. but he'd known from before and let me know that that was something who had ne through a family tragedy. that joe somehow knew about. just thought it was important for me to know that about someone who was working with me. i thought over time i realized that was just basic to who he is. that always stuck with me. >> elizabeth, do you have any remembrances as well? >> i think the day i saw je the earest was on one-year anniversary of the boston marathon bombing. and everyone of course was enormously honored to have the vice president her

kamala harris had a close relationship with biden's deceased son beau biden. they served together as attorney general. this is also an emotional pick for biden as someone who was close with his own son who had a promising political career of his own, someone close with him will now be serving with him on the democratic ticket. and one thing that biden has really been looking for in this search process is someone who he can build a relationship and a partnership with. he wants to replicate what he had with president obama in those eight years. so he is seeing in kamala harris the potential for that relationship to grow as governing partners if they make it to the white house. >> and he's clearly been able to overlook that debate when she rebuked him for his record working with segregationist senators and so forth. arlette, thank you so much for bringing us the latest there in delaware. i want to go now to jessica dean. she is right outside of harris' home. tell us there what the reaction is. >> reporter: well, pamela, we have not seen kamala harris here at her

when president obama and joe biden came into the white house, joe biden got 3 republican votes for they act. the single biggest clean energy investment in this country, the single biggest investment in bringing us back from the brink of nearly economic collapse in 2009. he did that by reaching across the aisle by being able to get republican votes. it's something he's been able to do his entire career and something that he would be able to do as president. chris: kate, thank you, thanks for joining us. and please come back. kate: thank you for having me, chris, appreciate it. chris: up next we will bring in our sunday group to discuss where the presidential race stands now with both party conventions in the books. that's next >> this election will decide whether we save the american dream or allow socialist agenda to demolish our destiny. >> character is on the ballot, compassion is on the ballot, decency, science, democracy. they're all on the ballot. chris: president trump and joe biden both describing the choice in this election in the starkest terms and it's time now for sunday gro

> i'm hunter biden. >> and i'm actually biden. >> joe biden is our dad. and bo is our brother. we want to tell you what kind of president our dad will be. >> he will be tough and on his. >> he will tell you the truth even when you don't want to hear. >> he will never let you down. >> he will be rocksteady. >> the strongest shoulder you could ever lean on. >> you will beam with pride every time you succeed. >> you will make your grandkids feel like what you've got is a mother's. >> he will treat everyone with respect no matter who you are. >> he will get up no matter how many times he's been knocked down. >> you will be the worst enemy any believers off. >> he friend you ever his heart. and if you give him your cell phone number, he is going to call it. >> how do we know? >> because he's been that way our whole lives. >> he's been a great father. >> and we think he would be a great president. >> a bow is not with us any longer, but he is still very much alive in our hearts and we can still hear his strong voice just like it was yesterday. >> just like it w

if you look at obama biden and now biden harris. >> that's right. i also think that he wanted somebody that did not rock the boat too much as far as a pick. if you look at john mccain when he picked sarah palin, walter mondale picking geraldine ferraro, they needed excitement. joe biden would love nothing more than the race to stay status quo. that is a lead nationally and key battleground states according to the public polls. i will say i agree with chris. the trump campaign is having at least out of the gate different messages from the rnc and the trump folks about how to go after kamala harris. but if you just look at her voting record, gov track, a bipartisan group, has her the most liberal senator according to her votes. the lugar center out of georgetown has a bipartisan index ranking senators. she comes in at number 88 for working across the aisle to give you a perspective. susan collins is number 1, bernie sanders is last. so just by the numbers, you can make that case. it's tougher in what she did in the presidential campaign because she wa

it's joe biden.ack to 1992 when bill clinton ran and won on the idea of new democratic cent richly. 2,000 when barack obama ran on the hope for change. we have not heard a compelling argument for joe biden why he should be president. not a big idea. not a reason for his presidency. it seems to me that's at stake tonight. that's what is at stake in joe biden's speech. not why donald trump should not be president but why joe biden should. >> martha: that's a great point. that's the moment. that's what you need to pull people over who may be undecided in this race. that uplifting, come with me and here is why moment. i think the opportunity presents itself tonight. >> i agree he needs to make a case for himself. following up on the case made by his wife the other night. if you do a speech to layout all of the items in your agenda and when programs you will try to put into effect, they don't inspire much. they may touch different element. you don't want it to sound like a state of the union address. ther

president biden well. compass has always pointed in the right direction, from the fight to break the back of a part tied to the wake up the world from, joe understands that none of the issues of this world, not nuclear weapons, not the challenge of building back better after covid. not terrorism, not the climate crisis, none can be resolved without bringing nations together. with strength and humility. joe understands our values don't limit our power, they magnify. he knows he can't spread democracy around the world if you don't practice it at home, and he knows that even the united states of america's friends on this planet. before donald trump, we used to talk about america and its exceptionalism. the only thing exceptional about the incoherent foreign policy is that it has made our nation more isolated than ever before. joe biden knows we aren't exceptional because we bluster that we are, we are exceptional because we do exceptional things. on june 6th, 1944, young americans gave their lives on the beac

but notjoe biden, he‘s not that smart. biden calls himself a transition candidate.e they jointly embrace the radical left. slowjoe and phoney kamala long, perfect together. wrong for america. just a sense there of how heated this campaign is set to get over the coming weeks and months. lets go straight to our north america correspondent david willis who has the latest. she‘s from your neck of the words so they must be great excitement there. despite all that excitement was she the safest choice forjoe biden? just in terms of her back ground and career do you think david?” just in terms of her back ground and career do you think david? i think so, she‘s long been seen at the front runner in this race. joe biden have a declared months ago that he would be naming a woman as a running mate and he has gone through this process quite arduously. and with quite a lot of detail. he‘s interviewed opposite of a dozen people some online, some face—to—face including witmer the mission or governorjust a couple of days ago. and slowly but surely, he‘s whittled it down and now he h

but regardless of who joe biden picks, one thing for sure, the biden campaign is committed to runningfar left and the toughest campaign we have ever seen embracing everything from open borders, higher taxes, and economy climate. and the radical agenda will be on full display at the virtual convention later this month with speakers reportedly come including senator bernie sanders, senator elizabeth warren, bill and hillary clinton, barack and michelle obama. but what is still not clear is whether or not congresswoman alexandria ocasio-cortez will be granted a high-profile speaking slot despite her role in bringing these radical positions into biden's platform. joining me for reaction 2020 trump air and brainy with fox news contributor tammy bruce. thank you both for joining me tonight. tammy might want to start with you. what is on the line for the country and for joe biden in the selection of the vice presidential pick? >> well, i don't think a great deal because the president will win reelection. i am confident of that. but what it shows you with with the democratic party use of the

joe biden for president.merica's progressive promise pac is responsible for the content of this a. >>> we're awaiting the start of a very unconventional democratic convention. we've learned michelle obama won't hold back and was directly challenging president trump in her big speech tonight and former republican governor john kasich will urge gop voters to put party aside and elect joe biden and oust president trump. let's check in once again with our correspondent jeff zeleny. they are covering the convention from joe biden's home base in delaware. jeff, first to you. >> reporter: we're learning tonight there is going to be a moment of silence during this virtual convention for george floyd. mr. floyd's brother will be joining the convention virtually from the state of texas. he will be giving brief remarks i'm told that are not deeply political but simply a recognizing ex a-- and remembering his brother name to put a name on racism and racial justice that sparked the protests across the summer. we'll hear f

it was at little awkward when joe biden came in and said i'm joe biden's husband. i think that's what he said. i think that jill biden made the case in the classroom as a teacher and the concern about covid they seem to be going through this night. >> i thought he said president too. he shouldn't be measuring the curtains in the oval office quite yet. i think tonight there was a theme here. in the theme was a return to normalcy, if you will. both in a political sense and a personal. with jayla biden, she was basically saying that joe biden grew up in middle-class circumstances, had tragedy in his life. shoulderinsoldiering through it. he'll restore the values that you treasure, americans treasure, that he will restore them. you also heard it in the -- started last night with bernie sanders who said a lot of the things that donald trump has done, he called it authoritarianism, but they are not t normal. you heard from michelle obama last night about chaos. you heard from bill clinton tonight aboutab chaos. and i think that if you are looking for bold new ideas, you

joe biden cared. imagine what he could do for all of us. >> john, i mean, i don't have to remind you that president trump famously mocked someone with that disability in public and used it as a laugh line. so, you know, there's that contrast as well. >> alisyn, anybody who has children or even just remembers what it was like to be a kid at 13 years old and shy and struggling with an issue had to be moved by that appearance by braden harrington. and the empathy and character contrast that it drew with president trump was profound. you mentioned his mocking of one of our colleagues who has a disability in public, in front of the entire country, on camera. here you had a young man, young boy, testifying to joe biden's empathy and it just shows you that that is as stark a contrast in personal qualities that you're ever going to see among two candidates for president. >> john -- go ahead. >> that kid is one of the most heroic i have seen on television. what an incredible moment that was. one of the most in

they want biden to win. they are under the toughest most expensive sanctions by any president in modern history. the democrats tried to turn that narrative back to the economy. real quickly for the next segment, the biden economic policy is similar to the policy that was used to the outbreak of the depression 70 or 80 years ago and it wound up extending that depression for ten years. you don't have a tight money supply, massive taxation and regulation when the economy has contracted because all that means is the economy is going to contract more and government will get bigger and bigger. i'm interested to your response will we come back because the plan is laid out there that resulted in a ten year massive depression for sale of the year on the sleep number 360 smart bed. can it help with snoring? i've never heard snoring. exactly. no problem. ...and done save 50% on the sleep number 360 limited edition smart bed. plus 0% interest for 60 months. ends monday. for 37 years we have been fighting for survivors o

biden!xas. >> a year ago my safe community of el paso was targeted by a domestic terrorist who murdered 23 innocent people. injured 23 more and devastated us. his motive was racism. in the face of hate, we choose love. and in the face of continued gun violence in america we demand change. the time has come to act. with one the great state of texas casts 98 votes for sanders. and 161 votes for our next president joe biden. >> utah. >> here in utah we have had mail in voting for years. if you're registered to vote you get sent a ballot. it's fast and reliable. it's easy for everyone to participate. in 2016 we had turn out well over 80%. and this year we're expecting even higher. that's why democrats and republicans here in utah agree. mail in voting strengthens our democracy. utah casts 17 votes for bernie sanders and 16 votes for our next president. joe biden. >> vermont. >> the state of vermont stongly believing in economic justice, social justice and racial justice. and environmental justic

it was joe biden. to how much he cares about our government and what people are saying and that even when he is at home at night, he is watching and he cares. but amy, we all want to know, did your mother watched the speech? you rememberwhen we were mother watched the speech? you remember when we were waiting to go on, it worked out to where i was there the same time he was and he pulled me aside and pointed to somebody who we both knew who was working on my campaign, but he had known from before and let me know that that was somebody who had gone through a family tragedy, that joe somehow knew about, and just thought it was important for me to know that about somebody who was working with me. and over time somebody who was working with me. and overtime i've somebody who was working with me. and over time i've realised that itjust basic to me. and over time i've realised that it just basic to who me. and over time i've realised that itjust basic to who he is but that always stuck with me. elizabeth, do

under president biden. jeanne: adam, in terms of his approach overseas, we are hearing a lot that he is going to be forming alliances that he wants to restore the allies that we once had that democrats feel have been lost under president trump. if he's elected and he moves in that direction and we think about it in terms of president trump's approach to china, how do you think joe biden handles that? because one of the criticisms we hear over and over about his time as vice president was that under president obama, a vice president biden did not do enough to take on china and he's gotten strong since the campaign but what do you think he does in terms of taking on china beyond trying to work with our allies? adam: i think you are absolutely right. the biggest difference between a biden presidency and another presidency vis-a-vis china is the method and how much you pick fights with your potential allies versus bring them on side. i think the trump administration and biden administration -- campaign, unfortu

by the personal story of jill biden and joe biden.in powell had to say about joe biden, what they also had to say about the current president of the united states. but it ended on a very emotional powerful scene, and i think it's worth discussing. >> those films were really well done, the ones about the mccain/biden friendship and the one about jill biden. her speech was remarkable too in the sense it was an affirmative case for her husband. i don't think she mentioned president trump, quite stark contrast to first lady michelle obama's speech last evening. what i'm taking away in terms of the message from the democratic national convention on the second night is basically normalcy. that seems to really be a big part of the pitch, that joe biden is somebody who will allow the country to return to normalcy. first of all as a philadelphiian it's great to here the willow grove accent. seriously, music to my years. but the idea of just how normal the bidens seem with the military service, she's a teacher. she got her graduate degree a lit

i don't think joe biden will stray far from that.ne: i want to ask you about the nuts and bolts of picking a running mate like this. you are involved in the mccain campaign. whatur research, difference does that running establishing votes? do they really care whether it vs. harris? time, you arethe trying to fill a gap in that image at the top of the ticket. you look at who he is strong with and realize, we don't need to bolster that aspect. with?o is he week when we looked at john mccain's image, it became apparent that we had a huge gender gap. men loved john mccain and women more or less just ignored him. credit, he announced he was going to put a woman on the ticket. i don't think it was a small thing to look at his demographic appeal and say, who does he need to show up in big numbers on election day? he does have the advantage of being ahead in almost every targeted state. he has gotten a little leeway. muster an african-american vote similar to barack obama, it will go a long way of putting joe biden in the white house. caroli

we heard from the biden children tonight. is a bit of that. >> the worst enemy any bull we ever saw. >> the best friend you ever had. >> he will love you with all his heart. >> if you give him your cell phone number -- >> is going to call it. >> how do we know? >> he's been that way our whole lives. >> your moment. >> beautiful, loving family man who everybody around him including republicans like cindy mccain and so many other republicans who spoke at the democratic convention have said about joe biden. he gives it all for his family, for his country, he cares, braden harrington spoke about how joe biden reached out to him, to work with him about his stuttering and joe has reached out and called him just like he does his kids, and blow -- committed to giving his wife by serving in iraq and in uniform and then sadly passed away in 2016, joe survived the family tragedy and continues to give when other people would possibly just run away to deal with a tragedy. he engages and gives back. i love that about joe biden and his fami

how did joe biden do? >> joe biden was amazing. the joe biden delivered a presidential address tonight. he did so masterfully. he was intelligent, compassionate, strong, and truly made the case for the biden presidency. we heard clearly from him what it will be like when he is our president, and different about his presidency from the current one about what he will do for a nation we hope for. i appreciate hope over fear. that's what i take away from tonight. he did a tremendous job. >> tom davis, on a personal level, you know joe biden, having served with him in the house. how did he do? >> i think he did what he set out to do. of know who he is, he wants to come in as a unifier. he certainly unified the democratic base. this is still a very divided country. i like to say people don't tune into the news for information, they tuning for affirmation. it will depend on what lenses you look through for some independence in republicans, what he said was more obama administration, administration with two of the worst midterms since 1938

his brother, joe biden's brother james biden profited in iraq. building houses in iraq, with no experience in iraq nor the housing industry. it goes on and on. judge jeanine: the incredible part of all this is that the new york times is a washington post said this has all been debunked and they criticized you for what you said. the truth is, and never really has been an investigation and the wall street journal did an editorial in the the project is a scandal for which the family hasn't paid a political price. we should be investigating this. pam: hopefully justice is looking into it. i think they are looking into a lot of things that's been going on so we will have to say see what happens. >> with respect to the fact that the sun made all that money, i suspect there would be other agencies in addition to justice, treasury as well as other departments, correct? pam: they said no, was a dormant investigation and joe biden happened to have this prosecutor fired, you know why it was dormant? oligarchs fled the country and he was in norway. guess who

todd: joe biden says he is considering visiting wisconsin.opted out of traveling to the state for the dnc which is supposed to be held in milwaukee. >> if you and trust me with the presidency i will draw on the best of us, not the worst. i will be an ally of the light, not the darkness. >> biden wants to keep us completely in the dark, rekindle faith in our values, pride in our history and a new spirit of unity. jillian: two visions for the future of america have been laid out, which party did a better job swaying voters and reaching the suburban moms? thank you all for being here. you are all fans of the current president. i'm curious to hear from each of you, whether it be joe biden or donald trump, what is your feeling on this? >> i certainly was moved by the rnc presentation and the diversity they have, moved by the humanity given to the president we don't normally get to see for people who don't care for him. anybody who got to see what they brought to the table. possibly a change of heart. >> were you undecided before this? >> very much
