let's listen in. >> cole emhoff: the second gentleman of the united states, doug emhoff. ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ >> dougthank you, cole. i guess he didn't want me to give this speech. he just... thank you. thank you so much. hello. thank you. how low to my big beautiful blended family up there. hello to my big beautiful blended family up there. i love you so much. aren't you proud of cole? wow. and a special shout out to my mother. i see you. my mother is the only person in the whole world who thinks that kamala is the lucky one for marrying me. [laughter] and to the kamala, who, well, we just saw where she is. she is out on the trail listening to and talking with voters. honey, i can't wait for you to come back to chicago because we are having a great time here! i love you so much. i'm so proud of how you're stepping out for all of us. but that's who she is. wherever she's needed. however she's needed. kamala rises to the occasion. and she did it for me and our family, and out of the country needs her, she is showing you what we already know. she's ready to lead. [applause] she brings both joy and toug

doug emhoff gave a shout out to his big beautiful blended family. his daughter was in the audience, she was giving the heart. she was wearing a kamala hat. his ex-wife was in the family box with the rest of the family. let's play a little of the conversation that we heard. >> calls us a three-headed parenting machine. kamala and kirsten, thank you, both. thank you, both. for always putting your family and the kids first. >> his ex-wife, by the way, even produced the video before, you know, that played before his speech. so big picture, no pun intended, maybe a pun intended, what we saw last night in addition to what we heard, what's the importance? >> their families look like american families. they're just normal people who just happen to be on the biggest stage in the world. you can't get any more normal than doug emhoff. his speech was so human. it was so relatable. it is from everyone we have seen, we've taken these politicians off the pedestals and brought them down to -- they're bringing themselves down to the ground and saying, hey, you have

so doug emhoff will have his moment.t just doesn't feel that kamala's race and gender are going to be the impediment. people want her to be the next barack obama. she has to be careful not to be the next hillary clinton. the obamas are wildly popular, no question. this is the third consecutive convention, '08 -- excuse me, '16, '202 and '24 are where michelle obama is coming here to attack donald trump, to warn everybody about him. it worked a little bit in 2020. she's very popular. probably the most popular speaker if you look at the downloads. 2016 it was a mispyre because they never saw what was happening in the country. and i think that the obamas still can't quite shake off donald trump because he's the nominee again. so are you going to put him away by attacking him, or are you going to follow up on the campaign trail and help kamala win? i think this is a delicate balance for this reason, and you mentioned doug emhoff. him and barack obama, sure, you're there to support kamala harris, but if you're her husband, gr

now let's go over to mj lee, who has details on what the second gentleman doug emhoff will say this evening, mj, tell us what you're learning. well, jake, this week is all about the american people getting to know better the vice president and the same goes for her family. we've just learned that her stepson whole emhoff is going to be on stage tonight talk about what the vice president often refers to as her blended family in a video message as well. pull emhoff will talk about the time when his parent's job and emhoff split when he >> but he wasn't going to pull ride in that as a difficult time. but then they'll say there was a blind date between doug emhoff and the vice president that change their families lives forever. people say in that video message, but in 2014, harris became babela. this is the nickname that the children used for the vice president will describe her as having taken over sunday he dinners at actually taught doug emhoff how to cook according to this video. now, doug emhoff, as we know, is going to be speaking tonight as well, and he is going to make that connection s

and doug emhoff is a strong person.ng man who's self-assured, someone the president leans on for advice. he's somebody if you really want to understand what is going on or how to maybe get your point across better, ask the second gentleman because he is the best possible counsel. and to see him standing up there tonight as an example for so many people across the country because doug emhoff's family looks like a lot of families. i'm in a blended family. i have a son. i amam a stepmother but i have son, so i thought it was amazing for america to see that. michelle robin obama from the south side of chicago, honey, was on that stage tonight. and, yes, she preached, but i think she was fed up. up with trump. that's why in 2016 she went low. 2016 when they go low, we go high. today she -- she looked him dead in the face and gave america instructions. it was what people needed to hear. >> barack obama i just thought it was so striking to think about how he started in a convention s hall as we all kno and he gave a speech abo

[end video clip] >> please welcome my dad, the second gentlemen of the united states, doug emhoff. mr. emhoff: thank you. thank you. i guess he didn't want me to give this speech. thank you, thank you so much. hello. thank you. hello to my big, beautiful blended family up there. i love you so much. are you proud of cole? wow. and a special shout out to my mother. my mother is the only person in the whole world that thinks kamala is the lucky one for marrying me. and to kamala, who, we just saw where she is come on the trail listening to and talking with voters. i can't wait for you to come back to chicago because we are having a great time here. [applause] i love you so much. i am so proud of how you're stepping up for all of us. but that is who she is. wherever she is needed, however she is needed, kamala rises to the occasion. she did it for me and my family and now that the country needs are, she is showing you what we already know. she is ready to lead. she brings joy and confidence to this task and she will be a great president we will all be proud of. now i am the son of two b

doug emhoff and the obamas again just minutes away live here on abc, let's get right to our powerhouse political team, linsey davis, martha raddatz, jonathan karl, all in the booth, rachel scott, terry moran down on the floor. quite a night already and you cannot overstate how important it is for kamala harris tonight, jon karl, to have two of the biggest stars in the democratic party. barack obama, michelle obama here in the hall tonight. >> right here in chicago where the obamas, you know, are from. this is a huge moment for absolutely a huge moment for kamala harris, and, david, it's more than just taking two of the biggest, maybe the biggest democratic stars, putting them on the stage, enthusiastically making the case for her candidacy, but what you're going to hear here and what you're going to see with barack obama particularly is something that we really have not seen since he was running for re-election in 2012. what i am told by people close to the former president is that he intends not just to give this big speech here tonight, but to be out on the campaign trail essentially

denied will be the second a gentleman, doug emhoff, we will also hear this crowd waiting around from former first lady michelle obama. >> that all leads to tonight's health -- headliner, barack obama will return to the national stage here where he will make the case for a hair's presidency. >> martha: we have our panel back with us tonight a perk back on the street with micah tobin out there over the course of the weeks of five purex tell us what is going on out of there, what are you saying? >> what you're looking at is the tale end of this demonstration. mass arrest ended up, the police radio at 80:50, that mass arrest event was over. you are looking at about ten demonstrators who still remain up and they are still chanting and shouting out a police. was he did throughout the evening is frankly created manufacture a bunch of conflicts with polly's. they had their demonstration earlier in front of the transportation centre in front of the is really consulate, stood out on the street there and ultimately took their signs and ran into the police line. started the first conflict of the

i think he's one of the best individuals doug emhoff. he's one of the best in individuals in the american dog eating mccarthy. american political lens like his dougie i know people right but he has to have the worst job in all of america to be affordable and clean it you go, you go before you're leading off, before like michelle obama, barack obama, that is just a tough, tough act but he's going to do well, but it's just it's a tough, it's a tough job in american politics. >> well, he's going to play, obviously he's going to play an important role in further humanizing her. i mean, remember part of what's happening at this convention is kind of the introduction, re-introduction definition her and obviously her husband will play a significant role, a role that traditionally we see the wife play the female spouse of a candidate. so, you know, having her husband then be able to talk tonight about who she is as a person. i think would be meaningful for people and i actually also think that this is something that barack obama, in some ways wi

we are going to hear from the obamas and second gentleman, doug emhoff. >> i want to ask hallie abouteeing some of the relationships and friendships. we will see that in the form of barack obama tonight. >> that is what he has with the obamas, a personal friendship that goes back years, that goes back decades here. if the relationship between former president obama and his then running mate president biden can perhaps be described as complicated, it is different here for kamala harris and her relationship with the obamas. this goes back to the early days of his in the white house. she was an early endorser of his. she knocked on doors for him on new year's eve in 2007 in frigid iowa. that is something that has not been forgotten. more recently, former president obama acted as an adviser and moved forward here in her push to win the white house. what's been interesting is we have been at this convention and as i'm talking with democrats and other democrats, there is comparisons to 2008 and the energy and the vibe and the momentum that was around barack obama. i'm asking folks, do you f

we saw that with doug emhoff. to keck with people really contrasted with the clip you just showed. robert f. kennedy's exit from the race, his endorsement of trump, is also about aligning himself with a specific kind of masculinity. there was a very specific kind of masculinity on display at the dnc, just really showing, kind of, an empathetic focus on supporting the women in their lives, being able to discuss all kind of issues, not just women issues, family issues, american issues. that is a very different kind of masculinity than the masculinity is endorsing with his support for former president trump. the kennedy family had previously endorsed president biden and distanced himself from rfk's run. his own nephew was on stage at the dnc endorsing kamala harris saying, don't vote for my uncle. by the way, rfk approached both the harris and trump campaigns ability supporting them and also getting their support. >> think about him being hhs secretary under a trump administration. this is the other thing that was di

we're going to have more from doug emhoff tonight on the 10:00 news. but they're in chicago. well, anticipation is really building for the obamas. they are set to take the stage later on this evening. now, earlier tonight, delegates at the dnc cast their votes in a ceremonial roll call to celebrate the nomination of vice president harris and minnesota governor tim walz. governor gavin newsom delivering the delegates from the state of california to put harris over the top. >> so democrats and independents, it's time for us to do the right thing, and that is to elect kamala harris as the next president of the united states of america. california >> we proudly cast our 482 votes for the next president. kamala harris. >> there you have it. also in chicago tonight, san francisco mayor london breed. and she talked about the energy of the convention and the enthusiasm for harris. >> i got to say, i don't even know how to describe it. it is. people are everywhere. they're excited. i see kamala's images everywhere. people wearing their harris t shirts. it is really a lot of energy and

no one doing it with more passion than her husband of almost a decade, second gentleman doug emhoff. >> and now that the country needs her, she's showing you what we already know. she's ready to lead. >> former l.a. mayor and 2026 california gubernatorial candidate antonio villaraigosa. taking it all in. >> i've never seen the kind of energy we got here in such a short period of time. chicago it's good to be home. >> the headline speakers for tuesday night were former president and former first lady barack and michelle obama speaking to their party from their hometown. consider this to be your official. >> ask michelle obama is asking. >> you know, i'm telling y'all to do something. >> the former president acting as the elder statesman, making a strong argument for electing his longtime friend and political ally. evoking vintage obama. >> yes, she can >> we will elect kamala harris as the next president of the united states. >> night two of the dnc officially in the books. night three will feature some more major speakers. we'll be hearing from former president bill clinton and speak

fun and great and moving from doug emhoff >> yeah, i felt, i feel like i know doug emhoff, he is kind in los angeles. i see him at the coffee joint once in awhile with his little secret service detail following him. i learned more about him in a speech. i can not say that about anyone else that i know that give speeches i learned more about him than anything i picked up over the years after listening to them privately. a unique spot. the first person in history to be in the spot, the first man, the second gentleman on his way to be first gentleman, no doubt and what he has made of that role is a model. by the way it is a model for spouses of people in power. he was a high-powered member of a law firm, global law firm, working in the entertainment side, no intersection with government. he quit that job and every penny of that income to take a teaching job because he did not want the slightest possible interpretation of conflict of interest because he was with a law firm that might in some other office of the law firm cross into a government situation that could be deemed a conflict of

not at all, not for doug emhoff. thirdly, here's what i find so telling. bastion of light and illumination, ran a political fashion piece that compared to men and talk about their uniforms. and they called j.d. vance's beard and emblem of e-men frontiersman ship that reflected his more traditional approach to gender roles. now of course they cut him down and said more things about why that's terrible, and then they went on to talk about walz and to say how his regular guy cred, his penchant for plaid shirts and other costumes of regular guyhood, how attractive that was. was. and you see the same brands and types of clothes on people like don jr. and everyone. the whole point is everyone wears it and it doesn't matter. the media will always make it sound like it is toxic if it is on the back of someone that votes republican, and it is the next best thing if it is on the back of someone that votes with a d, that they can keep doug emhoff and the subject of vacation. >> kayleigh: does a stunning examples. the american people noticed at some point, melania tru

doug emhoff. following our raucous and oftentimes logistically challenged day one of the convention of solutes and send offs and emotional standoffs by the honor, my lifetime serve as your president. you're all this talk about how i'm angry at all those people said i she stepped down it's not, true. i love my country more and we need to preserve our democracy america i gave my best to you an emotional hand off as sort of sorts. biden did not even start speaking until after 11:00 p.m. eastern. his speech going until well after midnight east coast time tonight, we're going to kick off our coverage at 7:00 p.m. eastern. a ceremonial roll call of the states will be held to nominate common hello, are harris and as a tribute to president biden will begin with his beloved home state of delaware, the small wonder state. vice president harris and her running mate, governor tim walz of minnesota, are holding a rally tonight in battleground, wisconsin, right next door after getting a rousing reception here i

second gentleman doug emhoff. and gwen walz. now -- now.s much as i was a fan of being asked to come to the front of the class i want to handle it over to a real teacher who is passionate about teaching. so today, i get the incredible pleasure to introduce to you my western pennsylvania family, a teacher from minnesota. this is mrs. gwen walz. mrs. walz, your class is ready. >> thank you. how about that transition? that makes my english teacher heart sing. right? wasn't that amazing? good afternoon pennsylvania. i just got off the phone and left some messages but i talked to some people who were super excited to vote for this ticket right here, the harris-walz ticket. they were also super excited to vote for bob casey. yes. and i'm so proud to be part of this harris-walz team. i just can't even hardly believe it. i cannot think of a better team than kamala and tim. now, tim only joined the ticket a little more than a week ago. it has been quite a week. so i just want to introduce myself. like many of you, i wear many hats or in my case, i s

not so much with doug emhoff and kamala harris, in their incidents.e politics and the norms. this is not like something we saw during the clinton years or other periods of american political history. it is a different set of circumstances and this may slow some of the momentum for kamala harris but they have had a good rollout and it is been two weeks since president biden announced he would not run for re-election. headed to the convention in chicago and a number of instances where the vp states will preempt that type of bad news and kamala harris and her team know that. they just don't want to have any kind of upset of that momentum. if donald trump will respond, what would that look like? he will try to get in front of that new cycle. he has been out of the news cycle and has been unable to get in and out of an inflection point. >> all eyes are on the potential vice presidential. for kamala harris but after that, eyes will be on the potential debate between trump and harris. do you think that will even happen before we get to the election ? >> dona

kamala harris and doug emhoff, _ competitive. kamala harris and doug emhoff, her— competitive.y were i doug emhoff, herfamily were walking around the stage, greeting delegates from across the country. stevie wonder being played on the speakers. stevie wonder of course performing here at the convention. she is thanking many of those supporters. we are getting covered in ticker tape, but that's ok. if you look at this moment, stephanie, we have to keep saying this, it is an historic moment. the first time that we see a woman of colour at the top of a ticket running for president. yeah, what strikes me, though, is she didn't talk about it in those terms. her speech wasn't necessarily about her. her campaign is going to be about the american people, so she didn't really highlight that this is an historic moment. but you don't have to have her say it, you can look at her and say this is a historic moment. i thought it was really interesting that she focused very much, that she is for the people, reiterating that she would use power to help the american people. that is also a contras

one of vice president's harris' closest confidants will take the stage, her husband, doug emhoff, the and entertainment lawyer whose 10-year marriage to harris already made him a historic figure. >> as america's second gentleman. if harris wins, he will be the first first gentleman in u.s. history. joining us, the author of the book "u.s. first ladies making history and leaving legacies." thank you for being with us. >> thank you. >> tonight's speech, how might doug emhoff introduce vice president harris to voters in a way that nobody else can? >> that's a great question, and it's one where he has a unique opportunity to really tell the american public to tell the voters what he sees up close and personal about a person who has a leadership role in our country, who has wrestled with the decisions that have to be made as vice president and potentially as president. it really is a window into a personal relationship and watching somebody up close and personal in a way nobody else can do. there's a connection that i thought about today about how laura bush in 2004, at the republican conv

how about doug emhoff addressing the electrified crowd, making the case for vice president harris? tonight it's time for tim walz to take center stage. good morning. welcome to wednesday, august 21st. >> we start with a check of our forecast. andrew. yeah. >> yesterday was lovely. today we have cooler weather starting to move in here. so a live look at sfo. you can see we have our coastal cloud cover. it has returned. yesterday we had a clear morning this morning. it's really just the immediate coastline that is dealing with any cloud cover. in fact, you look at sf oakland areas inland, we have clear skies, but it's half moon bay right now that is reporting that fog. and it's just an indication that we're going to see some cooler changes coming our way over the next couple of days. temperatures right now though, are running a few degrees warmer compared to this time yesterday, upper 50s to the mid 60s around the bay shoreline. good morning fremont. we're at 58. 59 in redwood city. even the north bay, a lot warmer right now. yesterday we were in the 40s. today we're in the upper 50s

the obamas and doug emhoff, addressing the electrified crowd last night, making the case for vice president harris. tonight, it's time for tim walz to take center stage. >> good morning. it is wednesda, august 21st. >> yes. >> a lot to get to. we're going to start the check of our forecast with drew. >> yeah. so yesterday was the warmest day of the week. from here on out. we will find some cooler weather moving in over the next couple of days. a live look from the tam cam this morning. it is lovely out there, but you'll notice if you look closely, we have some patchy fog out there along the coast, through the city and in parts of the east bay. so right now, depending on your location, if you're inland, you are seeing clear skies. but close to the coast we are dealing with our marine layer this morning. it's just a visual indication that we have cooler weather moving our way today and through the end of the week. temperatures right now. good morning. san francisco at 57. 64 in san jose, 62. that current temperature in oakland inland. it's in the upper 50s. lower 60s, mainly in the 50s right

and so you're seeing all these different aspects are seeing doug emhoff talk about her personal side, her family side. you're seeing michelle and barak obama talk about, okay. it's time to unite behind her. she is sort of r next leader and so i'm curious to see in the next two days how different factions and different people continue to pull out different facets and define her in that way. >> all right. still ahead here on cnn this morning, the dnc roll call was turned up lil john helping the delegates from georgia cast the votes in true atlanta fashion, plus an emotional moment from the texas delegation, a woman you might remember telling her story about how the state's abortion ban upended upended her life. we will speak with kate cox later on in the show comedy is coming to cnn what could go wrong i got news for you from the saturday, september 14 at nine on cnn. okay. yeah, we got orders coming in and business is never easy. a star now, eight months pregnant, that's the difference. the story. >> i couldn't slow down. we were starting a business from the ground-up. people were show

also the second gentleman doug emhoff introducing himself to the public. >> then we have bill clinton speaking wednesday. what is the strategy? >> it is interesting because we had hillary clinton on tonight, a great juxtaposition between the first woman at the top of the major ticket. they talked about breaking the glass ceiling and harris is being careful not to be used as the first woman, first woman of color, careful about how she positions herself, but hillary put that front-end center which is good for the young people. clinton is good about talking about economic policy. i remember seeing him in 2012. it went off the teleprompter for an hour. i think they will use him for that because he is good at bringing things down, making sure people feel heard. that is something they will have to focus on with the economy being a focus. greta: what stories are you pursuing this week? >> today i was interested in how it was open. the president was up here after the party pushed him out of the ticket. i was interested in how people were feeling. one said it was a bittersweet night for the pr

i think we saw a little bit of that with doug emhoff last night, too. video presenting him, some of the things he said on the stage felt like a very, i don't know, sort of familiar dad face. >> yeah, an amusing one. he was fupy last night and continues to sort of humanize his wife to the national audience. senior nbc news national politics reporter, jonathan allen, thanks for being with us this morning. >>> next up here we'll go live to cnbc for an early look what's driving the markets this morning after the end of an eight-day winning streak on wall street. >>> plus, investors are awaiting the release of the minutes from the federal reserve's july policy meeting. we'll go over what to expect from that report and how it could influence the central bank's upcoming decision on interest rates.

there's really no better character witness than doug emhoff to vice president harris.udience yet, inside their relationship, her role in raising their kids. that is significant for a range of reasons. it helps people to understand more about the vice president. she served as vice president for nearly four years, but a lot of people not that familiar with her. the other piece of this, republicans -- j.d. vance in particular have been accusing democrats of not being family oriented enough when it comes to their policies. this was a very subtle but firm way to answer some of those criticisms and to say, we are focused on family here. >> also talking about his jewish faith. he has been a spokesman against anti-semitism. >> that's one of his biggest issues. >> thank you so much. we will watch tonight. it's great to have you here. >>> next, both obamas ripping into former president trump in their own ways, taking the trash talk to a new level. >>> after his speech at the convention, i spoke with state senator malcolm kenyatta. >> i would like to remind people, politics does

the land ahead of his big high-stakes remarks this evening last night, though, second gentleman, doug emhoff, took the stage to show a different side of vice president harris. she he highlighted their love for their blended family and how much is children have embraced the woman they call momala emhoff was introduced by his son cole, who says that they weren't used to politics or the spotlight as her political career bloomed. but they gladly stepped up it felt like doug was a bit out of place on capitol hill. i thought what is my goofy dad doing here he embraced it. we might not look like other families in the white house. but we are ready to represent all families in america let's bring in. our numbers guy harry enten. all right. harry cole emhoff says they may not look like a lot of america, but actually they do, they do. >> i mean, look, it's the modern american family, right? we look at the percentage of americans who have a step relative of any sort. it's greater than 40%. how about a stepchild? it's more than 10%, you know, my buddy noem's warming for example, is a stepfather to a step

vice president harris' husband, doug emhoff, also spoke.about his relationship with kamala and her role as a step mom to his children. arguably, though, no one rallied the troops more effectively for vice president harris than former first lady michelle. >> to us to remember what kamala's mother told her, don't just sit around and complain. >> do something. so if they lie about her and they will. we've got to do something. if we see a bad poll and we will, we got to put down that phone and do something. if we start feeling tired, we start feeling that dread creeping back in. we got to pick ourselves, throw water on our face. and what? >> so a unified vision of something inside the arena. the picture outside, though, quite different. chicago police and protesters clashed in the streets. several arrests were made. now, the majority of the protesters demanding an end to the war in gaza. but others are calling for reproductive rights, among other things. for more on, everything we saw on night two of the dnc, let's turn to fox contributor kiera
