one of the more emotional nights on th -- appearances of this night was from gabby giffords. >> we are at a crossroads. we can let the shooting continue or we can act. we can protect our families, our future. we can vote. we can be on the right side of history. we must elect joe biden. he was there for me. he will be there for you. join us in this fight. vote, vote, vote. >> it was about gun reform but her message was about resilience

nominee, we will get to her, but let's talk about gabby giffords, the former congresswoman who was well-known for surviving a deadly shooting. she spoke tonight and got a lot of praise. here's a bit of what she had to say. >> i put 1 foot in front of the other. i found one word and then i found another. we must elect joe biden. he was there for me, he'll be there for you too. >> shannon: we heard a lot about that theme that he's been there for people, he's been through in norma's pain and loss in his own life. and appealed very much to the personal side of him. >> and listen, that was a really emotional moment, we are told that the former congressman, who again was shot in the head in arizona, took a long time, almost died, but spent a lot of time learning those words for this moment. there was no teleprompter and she really tried physically to get that speech out and obviously her passion is

. >> we heard from gabby giffords who was injured in her district. also, the violence against women act and joe biden's role in the u.s. senate. narrativesf those resonated with the viewers who watched tonight? sequence along with some of the other digitally produced sequences altogether were pretty powerful. that's one of the advantages of having a virtual convention. these theretogether assisting -- their issa sink packages and edit them with emotional music and deliver them in such a way that you don't have to worry about whether or not the crowd will respond to it. isby giffords, her husband running for senate in arizona. it was an interesting choice to feature her. not only for that reason, which she didn't even mention. she is such a prominent figure when the democrats are talking about gun violence and the horrific attack that she suffered. that,s shot and survived overcoming that. that was very important. something that they opened up with, talking about gun violence. >> do you have a sense in terms of the viewership of this convention, wheth

love that and the gabby giffords. >> the gabby giffords thing was incredible. >> a lot of emotion thered obviously this was the all-star team of democratic women. hillary clinton, nancy pelosi, gabby giffords. you know, it was an all-star presentation, i think it was one of the best prosecution of a sitting president that i think i've rel really ever seen. >> let me jump in on the obama speech first because i actually think that these speeches went together in an interesting way, and i think president obama doing what he did allowed senator harris to do what she did, and i think that kind of coordination is not often executed the way it's been executed this week. >> that's a good point. >> let me say this about obama. i have a hunch that every living former president would speak from the same deep well of despair. obama's speech shook me because of his despair laid bare. and if you had been the president you probably feel, you probably have a well of theory that started the first day of the transition. when donald trump and his son tried to setup a back channel to russia to go around th

you've also have gabby giffords talking about the gun-control issue we just heard mentioned. you heard from hillary clinton, michelle grisham of new mexico. so women are at the center of the audience and the stage tonight for the democrats. >> we have some excerpts from the speech we have one little piece from president obama, thi is the second page in which he says about donald trump, he showed no interest in putting i the work, no interest in findin common ground, no interest in using the awesome power of his office to help anyone, but himself and his friends. donald trump hasn't grown into the job because he can't. we have not seen that kind of rhetoric from a former presiden and in the convention setting clearly, he didn't go down that road. >> president obama, a lot of this is personal prayer and he told president trump at one of the white house correspondents dinner's that he would never be the president, now he's the president and president trump has undone much of what president obama did in his eigh years in office and has really highlighted the failures of the obama

for those who don't know, gabby giffords was one of the rainies rising stars in the democratic party, congresswoman from arizona, and a few years ago, a a meet and greet, in her district, at a shopping center, some ertwisted nut came up with gun and shot her from just feet away and then jots a number of people as well and, she is a living embodiment of the concern , and you know, i know that one of the things that republicans are going to talk about next week is the rising violence in our cities, i think part of the argument the democrats are making as that an i understand this is controversial, if we got a lot of these guns off the street especially, the automatic assault weapons, which biden helped band back in the 90s, that that might reduce some of the violence in the streets. i understand that republicans will say that joe biden wants t take away your second amendment rights the only problem with that is biden has made it clear over and over again he's not interested in taking away secon amendment rights, he's interested in taking away weapons of mass destruction lik assault weap

. >> we heard from gabby giffords who was injured in her district.lso, the violence against women act and joe biden's role in the u.s. senate. narrativesf those resonated with the viewers who watched tonight? sequence along with some of the other digitally produced sequences altogether were pretty powerful. that's one of the advantages of having a virtual convention. these theretogether assisting -- their issa sink packages and edit them with emotional music and deliver them in such a way that you don't have to worry about whether or not the crowd will respond to it. isby giffords, her husband running for senate in arizona. it was an interesting choice to feature her. not only for that reason, which she didn't even mention. she is such a prominent figure when the democrats are talking about gun violence and the horrific attack that she suffered. that,s shot and survived overcoming that. that was very important. something that they opened up with, talking about gun violence. >> do you have a sense in terms of the viewership of this convention, whether

and i think gabby giffords standing up there and delivering her message tonight is so crucial. pain that she went through, as well as her husband, mike kelly — he is running in arizona right now, which is being considered a purple state, and he is up in the polls. so to be frank, if anyone should be worried, it should be the republicans. there is the appearances that the party's far more unified than it was in 2016. is thatjust pr orjust an appearance, or not? try and be honest. i will 100% be honest. i think there is unity. i was out there on the campaign trail as you mentioned before with secretary castro. and as the candidates all came together, maybe there were differences on certain issues or differences on how to actually articulate them or go ahead with them, but everyone believed in the same message — everybody needs healthcare, everybody needs to get a paycheck coming in, people should not be working twojobs. we have to raise the minimum wage. so maybe there were differences in how we actually achieve and go about reaching these goals, but there was unity in the sense

we've heard also from house speaker nancy pelosi, former congresswoman gabby giffords who was shot in arizona and as mentioned senator elizabeth warren we'll hear from in just a few minutes. >> a short time ago the democrats 2016 nominee for president, hillary clinton, made her case for joe biden. here's some of what she had to say. >> for four years people have told me, i didn't realize how dangerous he was. i wish i could do it all over. or worst, i could have voted. look, this can't be another woulda, coulda, shoulda election. if you vote by mail, request your ballot now and send it back right away. if you vote in person, do it early. become a poll worker. most of all, no matter what, vote. as michelle obama and bernie sanders warned us, if trump is re-elected, things will get even worse. that's why we need unity now more than ever. remember back in 2016 when trump asked what do you have to lose? well, now we know. our health care, our jobs, our loved ones. our leadership in the world and even our post office. but let's set our sights higher than getting one man out of the white ho

former congresswoman gabby giffords shot in the head from less than three feet away. but she survived. when tragedy strikes we see comfort in knowing we aren't alone. >> join us in this fight. >> we seek strength to keep fighti, to keep moving forward. we turn to leaders who share our pain. >> the most difficult times is when we stand closest together. it's out of tragedy that you grow stronger. >> he was there for me. he'll be there for you too. >> we are a nation ready to end gun violence. a safer america is possible. but from this point forward, we must choose courage. >> i've known the darkest of days, days of pain and uncertain recovery. but confronted by despair i've summoned hope. confronted by paralysis and aphasia. i responded with good and determination. i put one foot in front of the other. i found one word and then i found another. my recovery is a daily fight but it makes me stronger. words once came easily. today i struggle to speak but i have not lost my voice. america needs all of us to speak out even when you have to fight to find the words. we are at

the whole itinerary tonight, starting with gabby giffords. it was immorality and the uncon chonability that would have attacked gabby giffords in this way. she said she is building back, one word at a time. from that, we went to elizabeth warren with the sesame street, because blm was nicely placed in the background. i said black ground! and then, hillary clinton who comes in and says breonna taylor and ahmaud arbery and george floyd. and also, says black lives matter. do you remember, during the campaign, in 2016, where black lives matter had to force their way into the mouths of bernie sanders and hillary clinton? now, it rolled off her tongue. i love this hillary. like, love her. it was amazing. and they all set up this very, very nicely done speech by kamala harris. i just cannot be more impressed by what happened tonight. i really couldn't. i feel like they touched climate change and healthcare and the economy. i mean, it just -- it was good. >> okay. can i -- can i talk to you guys about something? yeah. go. quickly. go ahead, paul. >>

former congresswoman gabby giffords, a victim of gun violence delivered her longest speech since she was shot nine years ago. and suffers from mass shootings in las vegas, parkland, florida, so too a woman whose 13-year-old son was left paralyzed by a stray bullet. >> in every town across america, there are families who know what a bullet can do. that's why i'm a mom who volunteers to stop this. president trump, he doesn't care. he didn't care about the victims after parkland, las vegas, or el paso. i want a president who cares about our pain and grief, a president who will take on the gun lobby to ban assault weapons and close the loopholes to keep guns out of the hands of criminals. >> and young climate activists like katherine lorenzo were given a "prime time" role at the convention. she talked about renewable energy and praised biden's plan which would create jobs, she said, improve public health, especially in low income neighborhoods. erin gloria ryatt. thank you for taking the time to talk with us. it's appreciated. >> thanks so much for having us. >> this message has been pre

their maximum firepower, with speeches from house speaker nancy pelosi, former congresswoman gabby giffords, senator elizabeth warren, and the party's previous nominee, hillary clinton. each delivered an urgent warning that american democracy itself is at stake. but it was former president barack obama who painted a searing and somber portrait of a democracy on the edge if donald trump wins in the fall. >> this president and those in power, those who benefit from keeping things the way they are, they are counting on your cynicism. they know they can't win you over with their policies, so they're hoping to make it as hard as possible for you to vote and to convince you that your vote does not matter. that's how a democracy withers. until it's no democracy at all. and we cannot let that happen. do not let them take away your power. do not let them take away your democracy. >> biden's vice presidential nominee, kamala harris, took the baton from obama and delivered a se similar call. it was a deeply personal plea to save the american experiment. >> in this election we have a chance to change t

. >> gabby giffords, the former congresswoman but she spoke about it. >> i struggled to speak.not lost my voice. we are at a crossroads. we can let the shooting continue or we can act. we can protect our families, our future. we can vote. we can be on the right side of history. >> senator elizabeth warren said joe biden has really good plans. warren senting subtle issues with blm and a u.s. mail shirt to the side. >>> turning now to coronavirus. it would take thousands of tests every day for colleges to stay as covid free as possible. the response coordinator for the white house, dr. deborah birx held a call meeting yesterday. >> the hartland really brings -- how are you going to do surge testing, 5,000 samples in one day or 10,000 samples in one day? >> schools are facing mounting challenges to reopen. several students from the university of connecticut were evicted from dorms. university of mississippi, 15@least testing positive including one on one time. >> meantime, the death toll remains stubbornly high. new cases are falling or holding steady in most of the country, but t

one of the more emotional nights on th -- appearances of this night was from gabby giffords. >> we are at a crossroads. we can let the shooting continue or we can act. we can protect our families, our future. we can vote. we can be on the right side of history. we must elect joe biden. he was there for me. he will be there for you. join us in this fight. vote, vote, vote. >> it was about gun reform but her message was about resilience during a very dark period. kind of stands in contrast to a president who just a few months ago retweeted a video that said the only good democrat -- very early on she did an incredible job starting the giffords organization that does incredible work on gun reform. her husband, mark kelly, was astronaut. running for senate in arizona. has a very good chance of winning that seat as well. to gabriel giffords and mark kelly, you'll hear a lot from both of them i hope. >> tlsh families who know what a bullet can do. that's why i'm a mom who volunteers to stop this. president trump, he doesn't care. he didn't care about the victims after parkland, las vegas, or

gabby gifford amazing story. she lost some ability to speak but did not lose her voice. are frustrated because they feel like they are forgotten. there is a big school shooting. we talk about it for 4 days and it goes away. i don't blame the democrats for bringing that up. they need to think about something that was brought up last night. the new york attorney general called to dissolve the national rifle association. in a close election, i understands why they appeal to the younger people and parents. >> looting, arson and murders are up. maybe the democratic party is misreporting their own criminal activity. i doubt that. this is not 2015 when we are seeing a rash of school shootings. this is 2020. you are seeing a rise in homicides, and quality of life issues. homophob homeless, riots and street crime. if you live in a major area and turn on the local news every night, they lead with crime stories. if you are in the burrbs you are seeing crime at the top of every hour. then you go to social media and you look at viral media. the guy in portland that got kicked in the

i think president obama pointed to the future as well, gabby giffords. a lot of the speakers said it's not just about beating donald trump. it's got to be about more than that. >> alexi, to the point brittany just made, i thought of this since the naming of senator harris to the ticket. americans are going to get a long put-off lesson, especially those who need to hear it about hcbus. people are going to know what aka is, and that's a huge forward for our society, and some of that is going to fall on journalists like you who are going to write in slow motion, the story of this campaign, a kind of biographical profile that over seven pieces and 11 weeks tells the story of this woman from california who in turn tells the story of a huge chunk of our country. >> yeah, brian. i mean next time brittany and i are on, you're going to be wearing a pink and green suit, so i look forward to that. >> not me. >> we'll call each other and coordinate. but i think that's exactly right, brian. i think that a lot of folks are kind of learning on the job as they're coveri

you see the others as well as gabby giffords who survived that shooting in arizona. in our panel for this. jonathan swan, karl rove, former deputy chief of staff to former president george w. bush. it's kamala's night. >> it is. there's something very personal, very unique about this night. she's going to accept the nomination. we're going to celebrate this moment. we're not there in person with the plans and confetti. this is a night also to continue to define the democratic party platform. we've been talking about unity, bringing the american people together. tonight she's going to lay out those values in her plan language with joe biden. >> bret: there's a lot of talk about how this convention is setting up. it's been lot of moderates and reaching out to the middle and lot of suburban women kind of talk. you wonder whether the progressives are feeling it. >> i think there are lot of progressives like bernie sanders, aoc and others who had their say at the convention. you saw in the keynote address, 17 most of the people were on the left of the democratic party. i

were going to hear from gabby gifford, a gun-control advocate.o nancy pelosi, fierce critic of president trump. former president barack obama is expected to talk about biden's character. elizabeth warren who is acting as sort of an economic advisor to biden, also hillary clinton, the last time she was at the dnc she was the nominee. let's see what she says. and of course kamala harris will have the spotlight, making history as the first black and south asian vp. last night john kerry and former president bill clinton blamed president trump for bringing the country to this point, but jill biden gave a personal testament of joe biden's faith and resolve in times of struggle. >> four days after his funeral i watched joe shave and put on his suit. i saw him seal himself in the mirror, take a breath, put his shoulders back, and walk out into a world empty of our son. he went back to work, that's just who he is. >> while much of the focus was character, there were some subtle nods to policy. suffering from als, she gave remarks about health care. alexa

gabby giffords pointed to the future. speakers said it's not just about beating donald trump.that. >> to the point she just made. i thought of this since the naming of is that right harris to the ticket. americans are going to get a long put off lesson. especially those who need to hear it about hbcus. by the end of this people will know right off what aka is. and that's a huge step forward for the society. and some of that going to fall on journalists like you who will write in slow motion the story of this campaign. a kind of biographical profile. that over several pieces and over eleven weeks tells the story of this woman from california. who in turn tells the story of the huge chunk of the country. >> you'll be wearing a pink and green suit. i look forward to that. >> not me. >> we'll call each other and coordinate. that's exactly right. a lot of folks are learning on the job. and covering senator harris and what the movement means. we're seeing the post george floyd killing in minneapolis. having the internal reckoning and upheld and supported systemic racism and how they

first segment tonight on gun control will be especially moving with a must-see appearance by gabby giffords who is a shooting survivor and climate change will be in the spotlight. democrats are eager to appeal to young voters on the issues and with tonight's entertainment. billie eilish will give a prime time performance day bdebuting new song, "my feature". >> some excerpts from president obama's speech. i'm quoting from the speech i never expected my success sore would embrace my vision or continue my policies. i did hope for the sake of our country donald trump might show interest in taking the job seriously and might come to feel the weight of the office and discover some reverence for the democracy placed in his care but he never did. he has shown no interest in putting in the work, no interest in finding common ground and using the awesome power of his office to help anyone but himself and his friends. no interest in treating the presidency as anything than one more reality show he can use to get the attention he graves. bring in david axelrod. david, strong words. it's unprecedented

gabby gifford. >> yes, the day, it was a saturday when she was shot in arizona. there to now, right, that speech is not easy for her to give. she was shot in the head. it's been a long road of ups and downs. for her to give that speech, to talk about what you need to overcome, how you need to fight, the speech obviously was about gun control. but it was also about her struggle. and i think all of us, you have highs and lows. many of us, not as low as she struggled with. but that was a real high and an emotional high point in the night, and maybe in the convention overall. >> i don't disagree with you. i was on the air, not sure if i was on the air at the time, but i was on the air the day it happened, i was a weekend anchor on cnn for a while, and it happened on saturday at an event. okay. let's talk about -- part of the equation, the way it will play out, is the other party trying to pull attention away from the convention. and you say those moves for misses. >> let's group donald trump and mike pompeo in the misses category. donald trump sent out tweets during

her home in new york and we'll hear from senator elizabeth warren, house here nancy pelosi and gabby giffords. i want to point out that just minutes ago, senator harris tweea wildfires. she said before she takes the virtual stage, she wants to send her thanks to the firefighters and the first responder on the front line. it is unclear if she'll be writing up the wildfires in california. that's something we'll be watching for. >> thank you. having seen her for many years as a prosecutor, you know she'll be great. you can catch that start inflammation in your eye might be to blame.ck, looks like a great day for achy, burning eyes over-the-counter eye drops typically work by lubricating your eyes and may provide temporary relief. ha! these drops probably won't touch me. xiidra works differently, targeting inflammation that can cause dry eye disease. what is that? xiidra, noooo! f. xiidra is the only fda approved treatment specifically for the signs and symptoms of dry eye disease. one drop in each eye, twice a day. don't use if you're allergic to xiidra. common side effects include eye irritatio

it was gabby gifford playing that french horn. it was little estella giving the story about her mother who was deported. the daughter of the u.s. marine whose mom got deported. it was story after story. it was prince royce doing "stand by me" and if you didn't feel last night, i don't know what convention you were watching. actually, today with david and john is the first time i see a white man like in eight hours. you know? other than joe biden last night and that's okay. they have had 240 years of representation. they're going to be okay. last night was about telling people who have felt unseen, we see you. you are here. you are part of this table. and i thought it was inclusive. it's given people something that i think many have not felt for a long time, particularly these last few months, when so many of us have been stuck at home making banana bread. optimism. a plan for the future. hope. i am hearing a lot of people tell me that. tell me they're feeling excited and hopeful and optimistic for the first time in many months. >>

he think about who appeared, nancy pelosi, gabby giffords talking about the gun violence issue, elizabethn. i mean, it really was, to me, and extreme effort to say, "women of america, we can come together and we can be ambitious, like kamala harris." if that's the heart and soul of what melissa was saying, it's true. she's an ambitious woman. there's nothing wrong with being ambitious and being a woman and saying that your mother taught you to be strong, and stand up for yourself. >> kennedy: [laughs] you're telling all of us that, juan! >> juan: because i love you guys, and i just think, when you hear people say things about women politicians, "i don't like her voice, she is shrill, she's really nasty." >> did i say any of that? >> juan: no, but you said she is inauthentic and she flip flops. >> melissa: she is an authentic. >> juan: i don't think so at all. that's what i'm speaking to, melissa. i think she was in a political campaign, she laid down who she was, that she has a background in law enforcement, he clearly didn't sit with a lot of the activist base in the democratic party, bu

. >> one of the other most poignant, most moving moments last night was also gabby giffords, the formeran grievously injured nine years ago, she's been working for nine years on getting her speech back. it's painful. she actually gave a convention speech, remarkably, with the same message about getting out to vote. i wanted to play some of it for you. >> my recovery is a daily fight. but fighting makes me stronger. words once came easily. today i struggle to speak. but i have not lost my voice. we must elect joe biden. he was there for me, he'll be there for you too. >> it's just remarkable to see her, i've interviewed her before, and to see the progress she's made. but it is hard, it is painful. and this is of course because of gun violence. >> and i've got to spend time with her because i worked on this issue and with her husband mark kelly who is of course a great candidate for u.s. senate in the state of arizona. and gabby's strength and courage is just awe-inspiring, especially when you're up front and close with her, as you know. the other thing she's saying is joe biden will give

tomorrow, the lineup tomorrow, not just hillary clinton who you mentioned, lelizabeth warren, gabby giffords congresswoman from arizona and the vice president kamala harriss nominee. it's a power house of women. some color, some not, all of them pushing joe biden toward victory. i think it will be terrific tomorrow. >> what do you like? what do you want more of? >> yeah -- sorry. >> not you, van gogh. >> thank you, i'm glad i have the floor. i want to drill down on one other point that i think is important. we have not talked much about sally yates and her speech tonight, it's telling. there's a number of people outside of the political space that don't know who she is. yes, she is super important, but they gave her more time than stacey abrams, i'm talking about bad calculation. to paul's point about a right lung and a left lung, absolutely especially with the coronavirus epidemic, we need both lungs, right? but i'm saying, like think about it that way. who are you engaging? who from the convention committee is involved in programming this this. i appreciate the rising stars moment, what i

all were rooting for last night, hoping he could finish it, and you know he had rehearsed it, gabby giffordsho has come back from a horrendous being a victim of gunshot wound to her head. you could tell she practiced so hard. that's part of what vice president biden was trying to show, we should be rooting for one another. you can't root for somebody if you can't put yourself in their shoes. if you can't empathize with their pain. i think part of what vice president biden wanted to do by retelling his story, is to open up and be honest, and say, this is who i am, this is how i've become the leader i am today. this is why i will care for you. in the end, the american people want a leader who is going to have a hopeful vision for our country, who cares about them, understands their joy and pain. and gets up every morning fighting on their behalf, not thinking about himself, but thinking about them. >> valerie jarrett, i appreciate your time, thank you. >> thank you. >> we have more on the breaking news. the u.s. death toll topping 175,000. a key model now projecting 310,000 american deaths by

hillary clinton, gabby giffords, we have new mexico governor, kamala harris, nancy pelosi, senator warren, what should we be looking for, joe? >> well, i think as karen was saying, we're going to see a lot more of what the democratic party and what joed biden administration is actually going to do. whether it be on health care or foreign policy, whether it be on economic policy and closing the income inequality gap. again, the first couple of nights, i think i was struck last night by the metaphor of jill biden saying and her son and joe biden saying that she made the family whole again, twice. and i think joe biden's appeal is, i can make this country whole again. but tonight and tomorrow, i think it's going to be about how they do it. what steps they're going to take, what policies they're going to pursue. and i think that fills in the last gap for american voters. >> karen, joe, thank you very much. always interesting to get your take on everything. >> thanks. >>> okay, developing overnight, u.s. postal service union leaders expressing doubt that critical mail processing equipment will

. >> yamiche i want to start with you, the relay when gabby gifford is making an extraordinary speechrren and hillary clinton, president of the united states barack obama and culminating with kamala harris, the first woman of color ever to be on a major party ticket, what did you see last night in total in democrats, sometimes implicitly, but often in the case of barack obama and kamala harris making a direct message at donald trump, something that barack obama has hesitated to do over the first three years or so, ramped it up a little bit more in recent months but nothing like we saw last night. >> the democrats' criticism of president trump was both emotional, biting, blistering as well as told through the stories of individual people, including, of course, that very powerful speech by gabby giffords, her aides say she worked months to give that speech. it was something you could tell people were putting their heart and soul into. there was also that young woman who said her mother was deported by the trump administration, her father had been a supporter for the president, but he's

with respect to gabby gifford's comments, i am about protection for my family. one way to do that is with with legal and responsible ownership of firearms. i think responsible firearm owners get lumped into -- to put it frankly, crazy people, or evil people that will always get their hands on guns. as an undecided voter, my adherence to the constitution and the way it was written is important. i think you can add to the constitution, but you can't take away. that is where i stand as an independent voter. those are the issues i look at. child care, especially now with schools being closed, and a dual income family like mine having to make the decision for my wife or i to quit our jobs and stay home full-time with our daughter so she can do online schooling, and the protection of our family of we are going to be home more often living in a suburban neighborhood, which is becoming, i would say, more densely populated. d,can't use the term urbanize but densely popularized. good morning. i am a republican. a proud republican. however, for the last three years i have
