i had a friend named brewster. when we were kids, we were playing basketball.nd somebody said, throw the ball up! throw it up! throw it up! and brewster just went blaaaah into his hands! it was the equivalent of a mic drop. oh, no, dry heave? this guy just went blaaaah! >> stephen: how old? about ten years old. i've never seen anyone who could vomit on cue. fantastic. >> stephen: what became of this gentleman. >> a hydrogeologist. >> stephen: good for you, brewster. kids, that's a message of hope right now. >> fantastic. >> stephen: speaking of not being able to keep your lunch down, do you remember -- because we have a clip here. >> i thought you were going to bring up a movie that i did or something. ( laughter ) >> stephen: speaking of not being able to keep your lunch down -- i just picked that. >> i teed it up for you, you had to. >> stephen: do you remember when we were at "the daily show" and we did even stephen stuff, you came up with the idea of spring break and binge drinking. >> i would be the guinea pig. >> stephen: no, originally you said what if t

i want to bring in shaquille brewster and see see how senator sanders is going to handle the falloutrom the debate. what are you hearing from your sources inside the sanders' team? >> the campaign is reeling from what they saw last night. i spoke to the manager this morning and he said senator sanders was energetic and on message and he really appreciated that we saw a different side of senator sanders than we normally do. he was laughing and smiling, making jokes with other candidates. and then there was also the somewhat reflective moment that he had on stage. take a listen to what senator sanders said about his time off the campaign trail. >> let me take this moment, if i might, to thank so many people from all over this country, including many of my colleagues up here for their love, for their prayers, for their well wishes. and i just want to thank you from the bottom of my heart and i'm so happy to be back here with you this evening. >> reporter: and his campaign is really trying to show that senator sanders is building momentum. before the debate was even wrapped up, we learne

shaquille brewster joins us from manhattan where biden just spoke. >> reporter: that's right. biden just left the stage. his message was that he would be a partner for teachers and a partner for unions. he went after the current secretary of education and promised that if he is elected, his secretary of education would be a former teacher. he laid out his proposals. he got personal during his speech. he talked about list time in law school, filling in as a substitute teacher and the work that required and what that tout him about the profession. he talked about his wife who is a teacher herself. she spoke. she got an extremely warm reception. the most powerful moment that we saw today was when biden talked about the fear that parents and teachers and students have in the classroom dealing with this issue of gun violence. listen to that moment right now. >> i'm going to provide $100 million for school infrastructure making classrooms safer, building schools that are hubs for innovation and cutting-edge learning. at the same time, take on the nra so we don't have kids going to s

joining us now is shaquille brewster. what have you been able to learn?er: it is still a lot of information that we just don't know as you list the out there. the latest that we heard from the campaign aide who telling us that plans have not changed and that senator sanders will be at that next presidential debate which we know is on october 15th in columbus, ohio. but beyond that, there are very basic details about senator sande sanders condition. we don't know if he is currently in the hospital or if he has since been released. and we're getting a no comment on even if he is still in the las vegas area. what the campaign did tell us yesterday is that jane sanders his wife did fly out from the east coast to meet with him in las vegas and be with him in that area. and we don't know much about that. and what the campaign did yesterday is yesterday they released a statement and you saw that statement that explained the situation, it said that he is in good condition -- or good spirits, he is conversing with people, but they are not going beyond that stateme

with me now is shaquil shaquill brewster.haq, at one point today and we decided a simple question, do we know where bernie sanders is physically? where he's located? and nobody on the campaign would confirm for you his location. walk us through how the campaign has communicated all of this with bernie's health. >> you're right. we didn't know where he was, his condition, we didn't know if he was still in the hospital. the campaign wasn't giving us that information earlier today. that was cleared up with a statement from his wife. what we did know was that jane sanders yesterday travelled from the east coast to the west coast to the vegas area to be with senator sanders after his medical procedure. she put out this statement. the key in the statement was there was no need for any additional procedures. the doctors were happy with the progress that senator sanders was making but she also said bernie was up and about, spent most of the day up and talking to staff. and telling his supporters and people in the media no reason to w

we have team coverage with shaquille brewster and josh letter man.with vice president biden. good energy is what you were saying. >> that's right. he had really good energy. he was speaking to the uft just across the street here. it is a big teachers' union and he got really personal talking about his wife, dr. jill biden, she is a community college professor. but he also talked about his experiences with teachers when he was in law school for example, he took time out to substitute teach for a bit and that taught him the struggles of teaching and he kind of represented to the crowd that way. he also expressed support for the chicago teachers' union. they are about to enter day five of that strike going on. he expressed support for them but also said teachers want to be in the classroom bei, they d want to be doing this, but he said that teachers have had to fight for their rights for several decades. >> and josh, how have today's headlines and of course you have been watching us of course nonstop here, how has that been resonating with -- pete butti

nbc's shaq brewster is on the ground there in queens. hey, there, shaq! is this endorsement for sanders? >> reporter: this is a pretty big deal. and the campaign has been hyping this rally up since last week. this is, of course, the first time we will see senator sanders since he had that heart attack about three weeks ago. we saw him on the debate stage, but in terms of the campaign trail, this is the first time we'll see him. i got to speak to both senator sanders and congresswoman alexandria ocasio-cortez about this endorsement that will happen on stage in just a few minutes. listen to what they just told me. >> for me, it wasn't even about helping the senator. it was a moment of clarity, i think, for me personally, in saying, what role do i want to play, and i want to be a part of a mass movement. it was less about political, you know, being overly politically calculating, and it was more about the authenticity and clarity of that moment. >> reporter: and this endorsement, of course, came as senator sanders was in the hospital recovering from that hea

the freshman congresswoman, alexandria ocasio-cortez, joining me now nbc chad brewster, he was at thatyesterday 25,000 people there according to campaign. how is the campaign feeling now following that event? >> they say they are feeling really good. if you look at this video, i believe we have it there. the video i tweet fareed a high angle. you see how many people were there. the campaign says about 25,000 people showed up yesterday at that rally. this, of course, was the first rally that senator sanders has had sense he was off the trail and side line fareed his heart attack. that's the video there i was referring to. you see the vast swaths of people there. this is the first rally he had since he returned to his trail, this is the largest gathering of people in this primary field so far. definitely an impressive number. all this boosted by the endorsements he has been rolling out. we learned congresswoman ilhan omar and followed by michael moore. the headliner, of course, was representative alexandria ocasio-cortez who really gave an impassioned introduction to senator sanders. she

. >> joining me new york, shaquille brewster and also garrett haake. shaq, first to you.re on stat tten sig en isl. what have voters telling you? >> at that town hall when he made the announcement there were cheers, but also a man who stood up and interrupted for a bit and tried to ask a question and congressman rose, he had that town hall meeting for transit issues dealing with transit issues here on staten island, but he opened the meeting making his announcement and announcing his full support for impeachment inquiry. and for a congressman who held out for so long, he did not hold back when dealing and explaining why he had this decision and laying it out to president trump and also congressional republicans. he said republicans become deaf, mute and blind whefnever allegations are brought up against the president and he said it wasn't just the whistleblower's complaint, but it was the stonewalling as he called it by the trump administration. and talking to voters there, people waited so long to come to this discussion and the caution that he had, but today a man storm

i want to head to shaq brewster, and somebody who has been covering iowa politics for two decades for the state's biggest newspaper. opinion editor at the des moines register. i want to start with you, my road warrior. you're in one of 31 iowa counties that flipped from blue to red in 2016. how are the they making their pitch? >> reporter: we're here in jasper county. this is a county, as you mentioned, that flipped. it went with president obama in 2008 and 2012 and president trump in 2016. so these are the kind of voters that democrats want to bring back into their fold. and bernie sanders will be here later today at the maytag plant speaking on the floor. and it's now -- maytag has closed, but new industry has come in. they're working on wind turbines. so he's going to be making a pitch for the green new deal. people are following what's going on with this primary. they have a list of top candidates. it's still moving and still somewhat fluid. they have their list of candidates. but what they want to hear are the substance and the policies from these candidates. i spoke to one repub

. >> joining me now from burlington, vermont, shaquille brewster. he's working behind the scenes. what else can you tell us, shaq? >> he's working behind the scene. he has been focused on his ipad making work-related calls. this is a candidate trying to show while he is off the trail resting and recovering from this heart attack still very much part of the conversation and the opizati operation is still going. you saw that earlier today when he released the money out of politics plan. it calls for constitutional amendment saying that money does not equal politics and also calling for a bid on corporate donations for the democratic national convention. that is something that would have an immediate impact, if he were to become the nominee. now, aides are telling us that senator sanders schedule is clear up until the october 15th debate. at this time we know he'll be off the trail for a few days to recover from this heart attack. but his campaign surrogates, if you look at this past weekend, his campaign surrogates have been out in force in south caro

nbc's shaquille brewster coffers the sanders campaign. he's on the phone with us.g your sources trying to find out more of this, about this chest discomfort that senator sanders started to feel apparently last night according to his campaign. >> that's right. his campaign said he experienced chest discomfort. he had a medical evaluation and in testing he had a blockage in an artery. so two stents were inserted. we know he was going to the gun control forum that many of the candidates are at right now. but let's put this in a little context. this is a candidate, 78 years old. there have been questions about his health, if not from his campaign, from voters. that's something people have brought up on the campaign trial, a concern this is an older candidate, his second presidential run. he was off the campaign trail earlier this month for a few days because he had that raspy voice. you remember after the third debate, his voice was a little raspy. any time he would be asked about his health or his condition, it's something he said he felt good, he felt like he was in

. >> shaq brewster live for us in vermont.nt to bring in former senior adviser to the hillary clinton campaign. adrian, listen, let me talk sort of microand then macro here. this is an important time for bernie sanders campaign. he is sort of trying to to get out with elizabeth warren in some of the crucial states, looking for fundraising, neck in neck with her. how do you think this next week and a half plays out for sanders if he's staying at home resting and shows up back at the debate? >> these situations are not ideal when a candidate is not feeling well and they have a health issue because it keeps them off the campaign trail. >> you had that experience with hillary clinton when she had the fainting spell? >> we did and i will also say that i think -- many people, especially on the right were saying, oh, hillary clinton is really sick. we're not seeing that same sort of per son na for bernie sanders. but nits never -- it's never ideal there's no replacing the candidate. but it also underscores the affect the top three le

. >> shack brewster, mike memoli, thank you for joining us. >>> i'll bring in tara datle, despite joe being drawn into this impeachment inquiry, which he certainly has, overwhelming polls show him still beating donald trump head to head, the fox news poll of the south carolina voters found biden up by 30 points over elizabeth warren. you know, all the fox news polling in wisconsin shows he's also up there. what's your take on how joe biden has, "a," weathered the storm, and whether or not he can continue to weather this storm and remain atop of the field? >> i think that he's doing a pretty good job in weathering the storm, especially when you consider the attacks by president trump and his usual attacks, deflections, distractions have been relentless and aimed solidly on joe biden. at the same time we see in ohio recent polling came out that joe biden is beating donald trump in ohio. we see that joe biden is beating donald trump in wisconsin. as a matter of fact all the leading candidates are beating donald trump in both of those states. in ohio, a key battleground state, that donald

i want to start with our team on the ground in columbus, ohio, ali vitali and shaquille brewster. ali, you've been following elizabeth warren all around the country. this is the first time we have really seen her get attacked. how does her camp take it today? >> reporter: that's exactly right. i mean, stephanie, it's pretty clear from the way that the rest of the field was treating her on the stage last night that they think that she's the front-runner who needs to be taken down a peg, and that's exactly what we saw. i think everyone on the stage, except for julian castro and bernie sanders went after elizabeth warren. and so, clearly, there's a dynamic shifting in the race there just based on what we've been seeing in the polls, in the way in which she's been rising. but you also watched the way in which she dealt with those attacks. she really doubled down and didn't cede any ground, whether it was on medicare for all or defending a wealth tax. that's something that i'm not necessarily surprised that she did, because as she's been pressed on these issues, even by us on the campa

shaquille brewster is live in new york city where joe biden is at a teacher union day event and josh holding a town hall later today. shaq, first to you. what is the former vice president saying today? >> reporter: well, he's promising his support for both teachers and unions. this was a very friendly crowd that vice president biden was speaking to. he actually just left the stage. you see the room starting to clear out a little bit. of course, he was speaking to his support to both teachers and unions. his wife, dr. jill biden, is also a teacher. he had a lot of ant he can dotes about being in the home and the focus on teachers and education from the household and he also talked about his support for the union. i want to toss to this quick bite from vice president biden because he also expressed support for chicago teachers. they're currently striking right now. listen to what he said about that strike right now. >> no educator wants to go on strike. that's the last thing you want to do. teachers striking in chicago right now. you know, everyone would much rather be in the classroom

shaquille brewster. shaq, good day to you. what are folks on the ground saying about this ukraine controversy as it shakes up the white house? >> reporter: yeah, we've been talking to voters here at the blue gem in charleston, south carolina, all day, and about a lot of issues, but we also brought up the issue of impeachment. and this is a celebratory event. there's food, music, and voters came out here to speak or to hear from the seven presidential candidates who will be speaking today. the first candidate to speak was actually montana governor steve bullock, who was one of the last democratic candidates to come on board in supporting the impeachment inquiry, explaining that it was that whistle-blower complaint that really pushed him over the edge. and that's something that i'm hearing from voters as well. these are democrats here in south carolina, and they're saying that they see this whistle-blower complaint in that transcript as a smoking gun, essentially. listen to what one voter had to say to me just a couple minutes a

joining me is shaquille brewster.ground telling you about how they feel about the issue? >> reporter: support for impeachment is increasing especially when you look at democrats. and what we've been seeing is since the whistleblower complaint was release, the original complaint, and thens transcript between president trump and the ukranian president, you've seen an overall bump in support for impeachment when you look at the polls and that bump is driven mainly by democrats and then some independents along the way. and we've been talking to voters on the campaign trail regularly and that is being mirrored by the conversations that we're hearing. and our team has been focused on this south carolina district that flipped from republican control in 2016 to democratic control in 2018. represented by congressmen joe cunningh cunningham. and we're hearing that democrats support impeachment more than ever, however there are hints that some moderate republicans may be increasing their support as well. listen here. >> i've bee
