dr. jill stein. caller: high, dr. stein. i did call in on the democratic line. my -- this is what i want to say. i am in agreement with almost everything you say. i would also say that hillary and bernie probably agree with a lot of what you have to say. i'm dismayed by your timing. i just think that the time to launch a campaign such as yours, virtually an unknown to most of the american people, is not during an election year. especially this election year. i remember the raffle nader, -- ralph nader debacle in florida and how we lost -- won't even say we lost to president bush, but president bush ended up being the president of the united states. host: we just have a few seconds left. caller: i don't have very many bad opinions necessarily of president bush, but the neoconsequence he surrounded himself with killed a lot of our youth. i have friends whose children did not come home from that war, that hellhole over in the middle east. i just think the timing is off. as far as dr. cornell west, dr. west has been against president obama since he got into office.

dr. jill stein, green party presidential candidate.tay with us. ♪ [music break] you" byread desatisfaction. this is democracy now!, democracynow.org, the war and peace report. i'm amy goodman. this is our special coverage, "breaking with convention: war, peace, and the presidency. i am with juan gonzalez. and our second hour of expanded coverage during the republican conventition last week in cleveland and this week the democrats in philadelphia, we're going to have a debate between the former labor secretary and the pulilitzer prize winning journalist chrisis hedges. but t right now, we are spending this hour with former naacp president, ben jealous, who was a bernie sanders surrogate but spoke on the convention monday night saying at this point he would throw his support to , with bernieon sanders saying the same. dr. jill stein is also with us, running for president on the green party ticket. she was the green party's 2012 presidentialal nominee. i am amy goodman with juan gonzalez. juan: i have a question and i was hoping heart of

dr. jill stein, the presumptive nominee for green party. dr. ks for coming on the show. >> great to be with you, chuck. >> you heard the focus group of folks. make your pitch to the 29 voters? why should they still vote if they don't like the top two choices? >> why should they still vote? because our democracy needs a moral compass. our democracy needs our values and voices and people have rejected this rigged political system that's given us this rigged economy that is throwing people under the bus. i'm a physician, not a politician. i used to practice clinical medicine. now i practice political medicine. because it is the mother of all illnesses. and we have it fix our sick political system. so we can solve all the other crises that are threatening life limb and very survival and i'm the only candidate in this race that is not corrupted by the big money that created this rigged system. i dent take money from lobbyists or super pacs. i'm the one candidate that has the unique libber it i to stand up for what it is that people desperately need a

dr. jill stein, it is a pleasure to see another party candidate. it is unfortunate that we did not get to see you during the debates and i think that as being a veteran that that's very appalling that we don't have a better system in place so that the voters could actually see what is available to us rather than like the previous gentleman said, only two persons who are not clearly candidates, they are just jokers in a sense. but in regards to the situation that's going on in america, how would you prioritize the situation such as the black lives matter as opposed to whether or not a person can use -- a male can use a female's bathroom, and how would you work out the persons who are the product of isis, you know, disenfranchised and people from their cities and towns, how would you work that situation? would you bring more persons to the u.s.? how would we resolve these people fleeing from these crises. >> let's let dr. stein answer. >> a lot of important questions there. i will try to address them briefly. you know, personally i don't think these

dr. jill stein. caller: high, dr. stein. i did call in on the democratic line.y -- this is what i want to say. i am in agreement with almost everything you say. i would also say that hillary and bernie probably agree with a lot of what you have to say. i'm dismayed by your timing. i just think that the time to launch a campaign such as yours, virtually an unknown to most of the american people, is not during an election year. especially this election year. i remember the raffle nader, -- ralph nader debacle in florida and how we lost -- won't even say we lost to president bush, but president bush ended up being the president of the united states. host: we just have a few seconds left. caller: i don't have very many bad opinions necessarily of president bush, but the neoconsequence he surrounded himself with killed a lot of our youth. i have friends whose children did not come home from that war, that hellhole over in the middle east. i just think the timing is off. as far as dr. cornell west, dr. west has been against president obama since he got into office. so

this is why i support dr. stein and the green party.ere pulling at exactly the same that the green party is pulling now, about 4%. we've got to break out of this idea that we can create syststematic change withthin a paparticular elect in cycle -- election cycle.. we've got to be of to step out into the political wilderness for a dedecade. of climatatesue change, on the destrtruction of civill libererty, , including at toto privacy, whwhat does not et ananymore becacause of wholesale government surveillancee. we h have no abilityty. this w whole debate e over the wikileaks is insane. did russia? i've printed classified material given to me by the mossad. i never exposed to that mossad gave it t to me.e. is what w was published true or untrue? these e-mails arere appalling, including cacalling dr. core wil -- cornell west trash. it exposes the way thehe system was rigged. the denial of independence, the superdelegates, the stealing of the caucus in nevada, the huge amounts of corporarate moneyey d super pacs that floated to the clinton c

stein and i mingling. >> reporter: green party candidate dr. s inviting pro-sandering supporters to switch their alliances to the green, offering hope to those who feel cheated by the system, and she claims hillary stole the nomination. >> reporter: you have experienced this kind of enthusiasm so far? >> it's been nonstop. i cannot walk down the street. what you're seeing is just a tiny piece of what happens when i'm walking down the street. [ chanting ] >> she's very excited. >> i think people's hearts are broken. their feelings are extremely hurt. >> reporter: yeah. >> not how we move forward and create america in a world that we trust. they're letting go of a candidacy they so believed in and here you are. is there enough support for to you offer to bernie sanders supporters? >> absolutely. we know what's going to happen in the democratic party. it is controlled by insiders. we know that hillary clinton has had the fix-in from the start, through duebbie wasserman schultz, who has now been rewarded for her back stabbing. they did donald trump

chill stein is saying, the unbelievable fairness, subtlety of analysis, sister jill, corporate media won't touch her with a 10 foot pole for the most part. it is going to change. amy: what does drjill stein represent? why are you drawn to the green party platform now that bernie sanders has conceded? >> she is a major force for good. poor beinghe role of sent to center stage. she is trying to save the planet in the face of corporate greed. she is fundamental he concerned with issues of racial justice, legacy of white supremacy as well as male supremacy. she is concerned about empowering working people. she opposestpp. kinds of policies the democratic party supported, president obama has supported. itit is hardrd to find somebodyt with thenal level certain kind of hope giving the moral decay. and by that i mean greed and indifference and contempt in the ,river seat among our elite vis-a-vis, all working people and poor people. it is sad to see so many fellow working people and fellow citizens supporting a pseudo-populist a neofascist like donald trump. they are in n pain. the pain is very real, but they're moving and the right-wing direction. amy: what happened with the democrat

charles: dr. steine you said you would step aside if bernie sanders decided to come on board. i tweeted, yeah, i would step aside if shaq or kobe decided to join my weekend pickup game. having said that, what do you make the fact that bernie sanders hasn't stepped aside, hey, let's all play nice? has he been diminished somewhat in your eyes as leader of this revolutionary movement within your party? or do you still hold him in high regard? >> i think, you know, his movement is moving on, in his own words. it's a movement, not a man. and it is not a moment. it's a movement. so it has a future. his supporters have remarkably changed the political landscape of america. charles: he sell his supporters down -- did he sell out? >> i think he has broken with his supporters. his supporters were in tears. hundreds of them walked out. he was sadly, to say, he was actually booed on the floor in addressing them and telling them basically start supporting hillary clinton. who has been an agent of the big banks, of g

dr. stein, you're on track to be the party's nominee like you were in 2012, back then you had less than 1% of the popular vote. what's difference in 2016? >> i think we were ahead of the curve in 2012, and in 2016, the issues we were talking about in 2012, is the campaign now, the need for jobs, the need to get students out of debt. we're the only campaign who called for canceling student debt. we're calling for free public higher education. we were back there in 2012, now virtually all the candidates are recognizing that is a crisis. we have been ahead of the curve on the climate. we need a new green deal. >> maybe vice versa--what we have in common with sanders is that neither of us take money from the lobbyists, from the big superpacks and the pacs. and i think that's very much what the american people are clamoring for. >> what are you doing today to court sanders' supporters? >> mainly what we're doing is getting the word out. >> you were on cnn's new day recently, cnn had a libertarian to

dr. jill stein. thank you for being here in this meet, which you're weathering very well. >> my pleasure. >> last polls, you were hovering about 3% or 4% in the polls. ultimately, what is your role in this election? do you really believe you'll be occupying the oval office next january? >> given the revelations in the wikileaks, there are a lot of people who really question now supporting this party, which essentially sabotaged bernie sanders' campaign. so, many of sanders' supporters are looking for another place to go. i would, again, issue my invitation to senator sanders and urge him to consider withdrawing his endorsement for hillary clinton, given these revelations of how the dnc actually sabotaged his campaign. >> all right. but, honestly, you looked to be in the white house, or is there another goal? is there a message goal you would be satisfied with come november if you see that is something that you have contributed to significantly? >> millennials who have been locked out of jobs, homes,

dr. jill stein spoke to a packed crowd.he made an appeal of bernie sanders supporters who still aren't sold on hillary clinton. many of those voters gathered yesterday at fdr park. >> i will never vote again, however. she's spent her whole life working for people. >> other third parties are looking to capitalize. the new jersey libertarian party told nbc10 they received morest from from voters who are both fiscally conservative and socially liberal. >>> along with hillary clinton, other women are taking prominent roles in the democratic party. baltimore mayor stephanie rawlings-blake chaired the gavel. and donna brazile. >> what's it like seeing it happen, witnessing it in person? >> i cried. >> and there has been a line longer than women have had the right to vote. that was a moment for her. >>> well, in addition to being pat of the political drama,le delegates are trying to take in the sights around the city. >> yeah, but for many of them, it's the first time in philadelphia. the rocky steps have been a big stop. independ

dr. jill stein was disgusted by bernie sanders' sellout. she tweeted, if you don't want to vote for a war morning or racist billionaire there are more options. the political revolution will keep going. donald trump is still making the case to sanders' supporters. he tweeted, bernie sanders who lost most of his leverage has totally sold out to crooked hillary clinton. there will of course be plenty of mood swings and poll shift as events unfold and momentum shifts. it remains to be seen if she can withstand the donald and his barrage while taking the flack up the flank from an emboldened jill stein who is prepared to give hillary hell. dana perino is here to give me the breakdown on the trump vp finalists. i'm going to flip out with celebrity house flipper, jeff lewis. i'm kennedy. kennedy: there are a lot of polls out there. a new nbc "wall street journal" marcwall-"wall streetjournal" p. nicky is a democratic strategist. pete hegseth is here, a fox news contributor and iraq war veteran. welcome, everyone. so hillary's downturn in this poll

host: do you have a specific question for dr. stein? caller: i do. my question is, do you see any way that any of this can be rectified so that parties like the green party and the congressional party and other parties might be able to get a little bit more media attention so that they can possibly express what their platform is? thank you. i'll hang up. guest: thank you, gus. really critical, pivotal issue. i couldn't agree with you more. fortunately there is a simple solution. the public actually owns the airwaves. we own the public airwaves.

dr. jill stein, green party. >> reporter: thank you so much. remember, martha, this was in 2000, it was the green party that was the spoiler for al gore. we'll have to see if that plays a role going forward. >> thank you, leland, very much. >>> day two of the dnc is getting under way, as leland just said. bernie sanders supporters are taking their frustration out on someone who has been a friend to the left until she joined the clinton camp. >> i'm with hillary. you know, for me, this choice is personal. it's about who we are as a people. it's about what kind of a country we want to be. foand millions moremericans lwho feel its effects.s, let's walk together to make an even bigger impact and end alzheimer's for good. find your walk near you at alz.org/walk. when heartburn comes creeping up on you. fight back with relief so smooth and fast. tums smoothies starts dissolving the instant it touches your tongue. and neutralizes stomach acid at the source. tum-tum-tum-tum-tums smoothies, only from tums. >>> donald trump is back out there, campaigning

dr. jill stein, the green party presidential candidate wrote. british labor leader jeremy corbyn has apologized on behalf of the labor party for its role in pushing britain into the iraq war. >> politicians and political parties can only grow stronger biotechnology when they get it wrong -- by acknowledging when they get it wrong and facing up to their mistakes. so n i apologize sincerely on behalf of my party for the decision to go to war in iraq. the apologies are first to the people of iraq hundreds of thousands of lives have been lost in the country still living with a devastating consequence of the war and t forces it unleashed. they have paid the greatest price for thmost serious calamity in years. amy: that is jeremy corbyn who habeen president of the stop the war alition. this comes one day after the lease of the long-awaited chilcot report, whh blames british prime minister tony blair for deliberately exaggerating the threat posed by saddam hussein in the lead-up to the iraq war. blair was the longest serving labour prime minister in br

. >> she is bold, i tell you today, i was walk around with dr. stein were doing a interview, and as we were walking bernie sanders, supporters in tears coming up to her for a hug during roll call, add senator sanders was officially losing the nomination, it was 5 minutes before hillary clinton got it officially, she was boldly here in the hall of the convention, surrounded by the press, and there were chapt chants of bernie or jill, and hillary supporters chanting jill go home, she is a lightning rod, she pulls no punches talking about hillary clinton as a war monger and a corporatist, a lot of people who are very much hoping that she provides the next ray that was extinguished here today. trish: they may go out to ballot box and cast their vote for jill not hill. lou: i am with jill has a ring to it. but, the same time, i am questioning how spontaneous this is. bernie sanders did not like the to relinquish that mantle, i don't think it is an accident that black lives matter joined up with the berndbernie sanders supporters, this is a representative le

that's including obviously dr. stein and gary johnson with clinton and trump.see trump has taken the lea lead. now let's look at the two-way race between clinton and trump. please, if you would. there we go. this is important for two reasons. you see your bounce. we haven't had big bounces in recent elections. that's a plus for trump. and he's above 46%. that was a ceiling for him. this is the first time we've seen that number pop. it's the first time he's been if the lead against clinton in many months. so this is all relevant. now, on the vp side we have some numbers as well. obviously the polls were done before tim kaine entered the picture. put that up just for our little bit of a measure of how people feel about governor from indiana mike pence fares, and it's positive, his number there. so pre-rnc, favorable poip of mike pence. post, 63. that takes us to the panel. you have all these numbers to digest. i don't see how you qualify them as anything but good for your side, john. what do you take most confidence in? >> if you go to the wikileaks scandal right

dr. jill stein of the green party.ost: senator sanders played a role in saying let's go ahead and officially pass this nomination. what did you think of his role? >> bernie is a man of integrity. if he had to agree to what he had to agree to in order to run with democrats, if you are on the team, you have to play ball. it doesn't matter what he says. he has to do what he has to do. i am an individual i was a lifelong democrat. i will most likely be leaving the party after the dnc scandal. there is no way i can support this person or this party. they've lost me and they've lost thousands and millions of other democrats. host: linda in williamsburg virginia on our republican line. caller: good morning. i think her being selected as the democratic nominee for president shows just how much our values and our ability to discern what is going on in this country reveals. hillary -- it was on one of the stations, how much money she took from so many entities or speechefor speeches. she went to india and they gave her a huge am

dr. jill stein with the green party and gary johnson from the libertarians are trying to pick a bernie sandersters. pew research came out with a poll that 97% of center supporters say they will cast their ballot for clinton in november. in a close election, it says several thousand votes couldn't the difference between president clinton or president trump. it says the green party is capitalizing on the disaffection of the center's. the press a cairn terrier -- the press secretary for the jill stein campaign quotes her as saying it's going faster than she can imagine. all of her campaign activity grew tenfold 24 hours after bernie sanders supported hillary clinton. it is really becoming exponential. then there is this from red state about libertarian gary johnson and jill stein. the abc poll, the libertarian and green party's art neck in picking up sanders wayward supporters. finally, jeb bush plus younger was on thevin junkies show on 106.7 it was a sports channel. he endorsed jerry johnson the libertarian candidate. when trump is talking about john mccain not being a hero, it's pretty frustra

stein way back in 2012. that report was later confirmed by "60 minutes" in an interview with dr. weinstein's widow. around the same time that that "wall street journal" article stated, army lieutenant colonel jason emory contacted my judiciary committee staff. now, this person is a decorated war hero who reached out to congressman hunter, senator johnson and to my office to raise concerns about ineffective hostage recovery efforts. he alleged that the f.b.i. was involved in a ransom payment made in an effort to recover czar gentberg dove. to be clear the u.s. government should take all appropriate measures to recover american hostages, but those measures cannot include ransome payments that end up funding more terrorist operations. ransom payments are a very big business for terrorist groups. according to a 2014 investigation by "new york times," al qaeda and its affiliates have taken in at least $125 million from kidnapping for ransom since 2008. isis also takes a huge amounts from ransom payments. the united nations estimated that isis collected between $35 million and $45 million in ransom payme
