doug jones, the recently elected senator from alabama, is what we call a real get. the day after his election, we signed his book. now, i will say that the reason -- one of the main reasons that we signed his book is that it is not a conventional politician's memoir. it's a book that he's been working on for five or six years. and it is the story of the decades-long effort to bring to justice the klansman who bombed the 16th street baptist church in birmingham in 1963. doug jones was a young law student in 1972, i believe, when the first trial was brought. it was a long time when there was no one was charged and no one was tried. finally somebody was tried. doug jones was in the courtroom watching the trial, and when the accused was let off, failed to convict, he pledged to devote his life to bringing those, you know, to justice. the book is a story about the efforts made not just by himself but by other prosecutors and investigators to do that. it is a wonderful book. the only problem we had was that it was too long and it had to be cut down, but it's a book that d

we have all heard how critical black women were two doug jones's victory. but that did not just magically happen. it happened because black women have been putting in the work. going door to door, organizing even when the cameras were august elsewhere. -- when the cameras were focused elsewhere. it is time to respect that leadership. it is time we addressed the issues that they uniquely face. such is the fact that black women are three to four times because of ao die pregnancy than white women. let's deal with that. let's be aware of that and deal with that. and the truth is, we shouldn't just be thinking -- thanking women of color for electing progressive leaders. in 2018, we should be elect inc. of color as those leaders. [applause] reflections there on what senator harris had to say? was my next phase of research. the idea that thinking lack three in to doug jones alabama or crediting black women who voted for barack obama and places that they are a magical neighbor. workingnd the scenes, these women, they are raising the money and doorknocking and they

doug jones, who i helped in alabama, in a state that is as conservative as south carolina.ng back to, is people are running in states and in districts and reflecting the values of the folks that they are claiming and wanting to represent. and that's what we're going to see in 435 districts and in 50 states this november. see ijust wonder... people are going to reflect the people on a local level. so in new york, and in the bronx, you could win as a democratic socialist, that's fine, but in south carolina that probably is not going to work. i can guarantee you that. i hear what you're saying. but... again, in the end of the day... the democratic party is a big tent. ijust wonder have you learned the lessons of losing in 2016? in 2016, let us not forget, you, jaime harrison, were a supporter of hillary clinton. you, jaime harrison, were part of that democratic establishment. you worked forjohn podesta, who of course was very close to hillary clinton. you are seen by people like bernie sanders, frankly, as part of the problem, not the solution for the democratic party. so who

you how will the sanctions impact on the dollar if at all we did see a little bit earlier that doug jones take a dip but is the market just reacting to trump's tweet is that is the doll ok i think that will unfortunate although you know. because the american economy is in a mini boom right now it's partly caused by the trends policies as well because as insane as they might appear not to rule any individual elements of them especially a massive fiscal bush the economy. and in some ways even the chair of the going to force american corporations to invest in the wise they haven't done on the pasta while the fed reserve is still hasn't yet unwound quantitative easing which to which slowly you can very effectively did bush to american the american economy as well so the american economy can cope with this quite comfortably thanks very much unfortunately yeah if they had diplomatic relations there for between turkey the u.s. don't settle soon how do you think stave it could get for unclear from an economic perspective here. well i think if you could actually be false to the fulfillments for on

doug jones, now the united states senator. now as you look around the country, you see a lot of energy among democrats and independents are now going strongly for democratic candidates are you also see a lot of republicans, including republican women come in areas, supporting democrats. i think we have got a very good agenda to run on the most of all in the senate races, we have senators who are really standing up for people. alexander: are you optimistic about taking back the majority or is that too ambitious? sen. van hollen: i think everybody knows that the odds are tough. but the odds are getting better. the day. the path was narrow and it is getting wider. nicolas: why is that changing? what is shifting and the democrats favor? -- in the democrats favor? as of the energy we have seen over the year now, frustrated with the president? there are and of -- are there individual races that you are thinking about? sen. van hollen: we have seen this growing momentum. if you look at the results from the minnesota primary elections

doug jones people applaud. and then bob mueller comes on and the people go bananas. because bob mueller is just like so handsome in every way. he is objectively. he stops terrorist. he's for justice. and he's tall. i was in a meeting with him months. and he was clearly the smartest person in the room. actually mister present them and had alyssa kick it off. you are forever my boyfriend bob mueller. between the fact that you wrote this book in your doing the book to her. you're just in the soup all the time. and how do you keep yourself balanced. narrowly talking about self-care because that's annoying. this is exhausting. in my answer is you don't have to be miserable all day long. turn off twitter. do as i say not as i do situation. donald trump is present he's can be president when you get back from the gym two. if you take an hour and binge watch something. he still can be president. i think it's okay to do something fun and they get back to it. does that make you are not serious not dedicated person. you have to be miserable like 187. but you can take the other h

in doug jones' race, african-american women were the wall there. in connor lamb's race, white college-educated women are shifting dramatically to the democratic party and are active, knocking door-to-door. i think that will be a central question. i think where white noncollege women go in the election will be a really important question for 2018 and 2020. jerry: it really is the year of the woman. again. neera: absolutely!

i am sorry to tell you but over 60% of white women did not vote for doug jones.e have be honest and reclaimed the power of what and how that opportunity came about. menk women and 93% of black voted to make sure we had this opportunity. yes, you can clap it up for that. [applause] i don't have to go through all of that. the point is we knew that coming out of that, it would mean nothing if we did not have something set up to continue to build upon the work that was done in 2017. one of the things we have a concern about is that people only come into our communities at the last minute, a week or a day before the election cycle. there were no resources in place for systematic programming, for a pipeline leadership building. none of those things were happening. we said we could not do this work without building that in. you will see in the next slide that we created a moment and we started something called -- woke we said we could not do this work withoutvote. all -- a shoutto out to all the change agents. people asked if it could only be done in alabama or in the m

. >> i can see some of that, not trying to obsess over trump with connor lamb, doug jones, but you are seeing a tremendous wave of women candidates. a lot of explanations don't sound like they are at the front of democrats heads right now. don't see a lot of them saying listen to country music more. they are not a contemporary group, not a continue the group. a lot of suburban women have done well. will these explanations fade away if democrats do well this fall or not? >> great question and that is something i hope to have more to say about as i go back and talk to these same people. there is some variation with time. that might be the idea that we need to blend older white guys, might have been an initial reaction and that got tempered and other groups reassert themselves. on the other hand there's a lot of variation with that that resonates in a way state like new hampshire or iowa or a latino state like nevada, more african-american state like south carolina, something i'm trying to track, looking at how those arguments manifests over time. i agree with you, that is not where the n

. >> well, look, i think that she would not have won in alabama where doug jones won or in pennsylvania where conor lamb won so i think you have the greatest success when your candidates reflect your district. there's a broad consensus on democrats among issues, certainly trump is one, but that we have to do something about health care, that there is a concern about income inequality and job insecurity. these kinds of issues are fundamental to what democrats believe and at the bottom line they believe government has to play a role, that we can't withdraw and this is something that unites democrats, there are big differences over tactics but i think this is overblown. i don't want to be pollyannish but you saw what happened in virginia. very, very vigorous race between a candidate who ran from the left, tom perriello and ralph northam who was a center left democrat, northam won the primary and democrats united and he won a larger-than-expected victory and a lot of it has to do with trump. i think there is a sense of urgency among democrats to win these races because there's great concern

why do we have doug jones and conor lamb? because we are fighting for people in a direct way.t be silent about what republicans are talking about why simultaneously talking about our vision. democrats are fighting for jobs, education, and health care. republicans are trying to take those elements away. >> this is a fight that continues. we'll see what happens in ohio, specifically it continues through november. michael blake, thank you so much. assemblyman for joining me, vice chair of the dnc, i have to jump because i have to get back to breaking news. appreciate you being here. >>> all right, back to our breaking news, the justice department just moments ago announcing that republican congressman chris collins of new york has been indicted on securities fraud. shimon prokupecz is with me and has the details. this is significant. these are allegations from the justice department. walk us through them. >> allegations from the justice department, the southern district of new york and the fbi. he was arrested, taken into custody in morning by the fbi in new york. there will be a

it's doug jones' people saying trump went too soon. >> but to that point, also understand this is a district- this is the district public polling shows trump, a majority are disapproving of trump. as you know, the vast ma jofrt of voters who disapprove, they break against the president's party. >> liam, capitol hill is your beat. this one has been sitting out here, yeah, i bet that one will be close, too. we were talking about it the minute pat tea berry decided to hang it up. there's already nervousness on the hill. does this district add to more nervousness or does it make it even more chaotic among house republicans. >> this district means more. this special election means more to republicans and democrats on the hill than any of the past ones. >> why? >> you have two decent average candidates, like in pennsylvania special, you had conor lamb who was a superb candidate going against a subpar candidate. it was further away from the election. this is closer to election day and they think this is going to be more telling. you don't have the outside hollywood who have come in to spend a lot o

this year that they're trying not to obsess over trump, you have the ralph and connor lamb and doug jones kind of bland white guy candidates doing well but you're also, on the other hand are seeing this tremendous wave of women candidates and a lot of those explanations don't sound like they are at the front of democrats heads right now. i don't see a lot of them saying oh gosh, if only our candidates listen to country music more. they're more like an adult contemporary group rather than the country music group. a lot of suburban women have done pretty wellin life. wondering are these explanations just going to fade away if democrats do well this fall or not? >> that's a great question. that's something i hope all to have more to say about when i go back to talk to these people. there is some variation with time that that might be the idea that we need to have a bland older white guy, and might've just been an initial reaction and then i got tempered and other groups reassert themselve themselves, on the other hand i think there's a lot of regional variation that might be something that r

year, that they're trying not to obsess over trump and, you know, you have sort of the conor lamb, doug jones, kind of bland white guy candidates doing well, but you're also on the other hand, you're seeing this tremendous wave of women candidates, and a lot of those explanations don't sound like they're at the front of democrats' heads right now. like i don't see a lot of them saying, oh, gosh, if only our candidates listened to country music more. you look at democrats they're more-- probably like an adult contemporary group rather than a country music group. a lot of suburban women who have done pretty well in life. so, i'm wondering if these explanations just going to fade away if democrats do well this fall or not? >> yeah, i mean, that's a great question. and that's something i hope to have more to say about as i go back and talk to these same people. my impression is there is some variation with time, that that might be, you know, the idea that, you know, we need a bland older white guy. it might have been just an initial reaction and then that got tempered and other groups started to

now he's doug jones because of all of this and the president is apoplectic every day about it. got a bad attorney general and -- lisa: there are two types of people the president appoints. there's the basket of deplorables and the basket of adorables. the adorables would be neil gorsuch and nikki haley. >> sarah sanders. >> very hard hit or hard miss. no middle ground. lisa: you get two types of people he hires and he tends to hire the deplorables or the loyalists, really. >> i find that refreshing, actually, with president trump. look, he's honest. you may not like it, you may dislike it intensely but he's honest. i hired him because he was loyal. there's honesty in that. lisa: unfortunately, he thinks he's doing the right thing and it comes back to bite him in the keyster. speaking of which, the panel will return in just a little bit. >>> however, coming up, medicare for all, it sucks but people aren't getting the message. a new poll says most americans support it. it looks like it's time for a lesson in common sense. my monologue takes care of you. that's next. ♪ a hotel can

the conservative campaign has focused largely on democrats, including doug jones in alabama, joe manchinwest virginia, heidi heitkamp of north dakota, also joe donnelly in indiana, republican susan collins in maine and lisa murkowski of alaska. it comes as president trump's nominee faces low popularity among voters. 40% of americans said kavanaugh should not be confirmed to the supreme court according to a recent cnn ssrs poll. 37% say he should be confirmed and 22% said they have no opinion. . >>> the taliban rejected calls for a cease far. the attack comes this morning after several meetings with the u.s. delegation last month in an attempt to broker trust and a three-month truce between the taliban and afghan government. no one was injured in this morning's attack. the taliban will head to moscow next month to join regional talks on afghanistan's future, a summit likely to exclude the u.s. according to reports from the "wall street journal." russia has taken an increasingly active role and hosted multi-lateral talks on the region in the past, however, this is the first time the taliba

doug jones won the seat in alabama.n he endorsed ed gillespie in virginia, ralph northam won that seat. so this is his party, he's won the republican part yy but he's hurting his candidates so far. >> i might surprise, joan. i agree i think this is the democrats' race to use. history argues on their side when you look historically. the first midterm is disastrous, it was for obama and clinton. it was for ronald reagan. current polling, real clear politics average shows 7% advantage for democrats. >> so you don't look at the primaries, steve, at the 19-4 win/loss record and feel calmed? >> well, i don't feel calmed. i'm worried. but here's how i get over the worry and how as republicans we score abupset is we need to rally as a party much more to donald trump. the reason those 230 districts are not solid, the reason those aren't solidly in the republican camp for this 2018 race is because too many squish establishment republicans in washington, d.c. on the hill have not embraced the trump agenda. if they do in the next c

republican senators up for election in places where they should overwhelmingly win then, thank you doug joneshere. on the climate change stuff, it's a pocketbook issue and it matters where we are from. if you are in a place where they produce gas, it's totally fine, say texas. if not you will have issues. >> and it's a cultural issue, everyone likes to talk about climate change in places where their immediate lives are not impacted, in terms of their jobs, how they make a living, upward mobility and schools and communities. if you go to places where you produce energy -- >> dana: it also depends on if you are in a place where you want to do more fracking. i've got to wrap, thank you. we will be right back. do you know how to use those? nope. get those kids some capri sun! nope. for 14 years, i played professional football and i thought my health was perfect. then i had a screening and doctor's discovered i had a serious medical issue. unfortunately, it was the end of my football career, but if i hadn't been tested it could have been the end of my life. i believe in preventive testing, it save

so that is -- ultimately the message that has played well in the special elections, you look at doug jones all of the other special elections, that is what the democrat candidate has run on and succeeded in their victory. so that is what democrats are running on. and if steve bannon wants to try to find thund -- some funders to invest in his anti-impeachment, fine, but i don't think it will have an impact. >> thank you for being on this noteworthy but because there are three other asians -- >> so proud to be with you. >> thank you all three. have a very good day. >> it has already been a historic year for women in politics and we'll speak to one candidate who is hoping to become the next governor of michigan. g. and here's where we shrink the biggest names in entertainment so we can fit them into our unlimited wireless plan. who's first? no. this isn't permanent, right? ask him.

remember conor lamb in pennsylvania, doug jones in alabama.me embarrassing for the party. so i think that is another reason why you see the president going today trying to hammer the message that i need you to vote republican because i need that support in congress. >> jim, last question to you here. what will you be watching for tonight? i mentioned the polling shows a significant lead for the republican candidate. what will you be listening for, those of us who watched the rally in pennsylvania this week noted that most of that speech during that rally was devoted to attacking the media, to talking about police electoral victory. how much does he need to talk about ohio specifically in his speech tonight? >> i don't know. i mean he -- normally that is not his style. he will come in and i'm guessing that he will talk a little about troy balderson and about the race, but i suspect a lot of speech just like when mike pence was here a couple days ago will focus on his agenda, on his messaging, his attacks on the media or whatever he wants to do

you want to talk about kingmaker the reason why conor lamb was elected in pennsylvania or doug jonesalabama. the fact that we are having these victories. >> harris: let me step in there because i want to understand what you mean by failed agenda. the economy is cooking along. we have more jobs than people looking because we have got to get in there and train and give access. these numbers are incredible. not to put too fine a point on it look what it is among african-americans and hispanics, historic. what do you mean failed agenda? >> harris, your talking points are failed. let's be clear. first of all, there were more jobs created under barack obama in the same timetable than under donald trump? one, two, wages have not gone up. >> false. >> klee. >> false. >> hold on i listened to your points. >> let me be clear. the peace -- when you talk about false. it's factually accurate, kayleigh, be clear on this. talk about what's happening here and now. the reality is the reason why you are seeing so much momentum. the reason why you are seeing races coming up in wisconsin, minnesota and
