john edwards. g honest and changing course in iraq is the first step in trying to restore america's moral leadership in the world. crowd: [chanting] edwards! edwards was hot stuff and within striking distance of the white house for years. [cheering] he had been john kerry's vice presidential pick in 2004, and even though that didn't work out, it made him an early favorite entering the 2008 democratic presidential primary. he was a good talker. he was good-looking. he had the right politics. yes, edwards was the dream candidate-- perhaps even the "dreamy" candidate. that beautiful head of hair just stole my heart. [audience laughter] thank you. john edwards was able to articulate the economic issues that plagued this country, able to talk about the "two americas." that was his famous speech. we can build one america where we no longer have two healthcare systems. edwards' stated mission to bridge the gap between rich americans and poor americans still seems progressive more than a decade later. he wa

john edwards calls on us to hope. i'm not talking about blind optimism here, the willful ignorance that thinks unemployment will go away if we just don't think about it or health care crisis will solve itself if we just ignore it. that's not what i'm talking about. i'm talking about something more substantial. it's the hope of slaves sitting around a fire singing freedom songs. the hope of immigrants setting out for distant shores. the hope of a young naval lieutenant bravely patrolling the macon delta, the hope of a mill worker's son who dares to defy the odds, the hope of a skinny kid with a funny name who believes that america has a place for him, too. hope -- hope in the face of difficulty. hope in the face of uncertainty. the audacity of hope. in the end that is god's greatest gift to us, the bedrock of this nation, a belief in things not seen. a belief that there are better days ahead. i believe that we can give our middle class relief and provide working families with the road to opportunity. i believe we can p

i was at the first event that john edwards and john kerry had in raleigh, north carolina after edwards was picked the race in north carolina was over as soon as that rally was over, and we know john edwards and john john kerry didn't have much chemistry, but i got an email just a little while ago from the republican governors association. obviously, tim walz is a governor. there not talking about bears in parks. they're not talking about cat people or even electric vehicles. the first thing they talk about is the biden-harris. and now walls economic agenda. if it's the economy stupid, if that's what matters, the economic anxiety that people are feeling in this country about anytime they go and spend money at a grocery store or a movie theater, or anything like that. and certainly what we saw at the stock market yesterday that's what's going to be top of mind for voters. that's what republicans are going to focus on. and we remember, yes, he's the vice presidential pick, but this is kamala harris against donald trump. this remains the movable force or the other this remains a very real

john edwards who accepted the vice presidential nomination in 2004 spoke for almost 30 minutes.e will update that graphic after tonight's remarks by the vice presidential democratic nominee tim walz when he comes to the stage later this evening. dj jed reporting earlier that stevie wonder was doing a sound check at the united center in chicago ahead of night three of the democratic nominee -- convention so we will see if we get a performance by stevie wonder tonight as well. logan, democratic caller, your turn. caller: good evening. how are you doing today? greta: hi, logan. caller: so, i'm a registered democrat. i voted for ms. clinton in 2016, i voted for joe in 2020. but reluctantly, i feel inclined that i need to vote with trump this upcoming election. i have heard a lot of callers talk about how joyful and peaceful the convention has been so far at the dnc. but i have been watching the same thing and i have not felt that. the entire focus has been solely on trump, getting him out. the most disheartening thing i feel like i have seen with all this talk about trump is that no

i was at the first north carolina rally for john edwards when he joined with john kerry. he didn't put north carolina in play for a minute. there's going to be about donald versus camila and yeah, you can help and you can bracket and do all that. but this is the main event. those two and i want to follow up there because look, i think we've already think it's fair to say we've seen it a different sort of in framing the trump campaign seems to say, look, everything will go to hell if kamala harris and tim walz elected they're trying to say, well, let's look to the future and create a better for future. >> i mean, we've got messaging with the texas supporters saying walz will unleash hell on earth. i mean, that's the quote there. >> does that type of apocalyptic messaging? >> sure, it might inspire the base. how does it land with some of the independent voters who are ultimately going to decide this. >> i think it depends on what you're talking about. and if you're talking about what you pay every day and i don't want to describe privately how much i spent on a stupid sandw

blue no go but you know, if obviously not, i mean, there are plenty of vice presidential nominee john edwards, most recently in 2004, who could not deliver a quote, unquote, their home state. >> but the political science is pretty consistent that the vice president makes at least some impact and as long as the impact is more than zero that would seem to be a pretty good argument for picking the gun guy who as a 65% approval rating or favourability rating in a state that you almost certainly have to win. if democrats knowing works conston, they can replace it with arizona. if they don't win michigan, they can replay i said with georgia, if they don't win, pennsylvania, they have to win both georgia and either nevada or arizona. and that's a lot. so again, on a purely political calculus, i think shapiro is head and shoulders now, there are parts of the party that are more resistant to him for all the reasons we just discussed. and tim walz so as a good campaigner is probably the path of least resistance. but i would think that much like hillary clinton, clinton picking tim kaine in 2016, democr

eventually the election further back to 2004, you remember john kerry went with north carolina's john edwards a number of reasons for that particular pick. but among them as to thinking of that, edwards would help democrats. finally, win for carolina. the new york times from matt announcement, the addition of mr. edwards would put north carolina into play and bolster mr. carries bid and other southern states that also did not happen. you get the point. i'm making best late electoral plan sometimes do not work out. the hometown kid does not always guarantee electoral votes. you still have to campaign, which is part of what's good about democracy, right? >> and while democrats have been jockeying and pushing for one pick or the other, there are plenty of others in the party who think anyone on that list will do the trick i mean, just listen to how former speaker nancy pelosi put it tonight on cnn i said, any one of them would have made a great vice president. >> but only she would be able to judge who she had the best you have politico. now, i think they're all great and new ever she takes on f

[applause] of all the former john bell -- bel edwards. and he was manager and louisiana girl and she runs the show. he controls all the money and secured funding for everything we are doing and director of science and technology. where are you? she's smart as hell. the arpa-h is doing the work. and danielle. where are you? he leads our cancer moonshot. when i launched the moonshot when i was vice president and i made the case to president president obama and i convinced him to give me the authority to set up this cancer moonshot and i had the run of the administration to do whatever i needed to do. but i think president fits. i knew when he was up at pen. and he was the dean. honor to be back at tulane without having to pay tuition, by the way. you think i'm kidding. a kid or child or grandchild graduates, it's a pay raise. my daughter graduated here in 2003 and now she is working in philadelphia as a social worker working with abused women. one of the most devastating words that anyone can hear is cancer. walk into a doctor's office and

they're also looking for someone who is squeaky clean, a close friend of hers told me no one wants a john edwards like situation that could have been avoided if you just read that last piece the paper. but they're also looking for someone who can control the map as you're just mentioning. i mean pennsylvania in the words of one person close to the campaign, is a tipping point and it's a critical state, but so is arizona. and while kentucky might not necessarily be a critical state, they say will perhaps he could bring some of that, bring some of that muster to georgia with the knowledge of the american south. so they all brings certain attributes. but i think it's that, i think it's the governance. it's the record. do they have any skeletons? and it's the map we're going to dig into all this stuff at length over the course of the next couple of hours. >> but vice president announced hire staff hires today expanded the team, kept most of the team in place, kept the top leadership of the biden campaign in place, but brought on rot, on mitch stewart, brought on stephanie cutter, expanded david binde

in 2004, briefing john edwards before he went off and did regional tv interviews, that's, quite franklyto reach voters. >> yep. >> in the state. and so i'm glad -- i hope they're doing a little bit of that as well. >> being on the bus is part of the prep. talking to real people and always road testing the messages to see how they hear it and they might give you a line. where weird came from bubbled up organically, and it captured the moment. it's what real people were saying. she can prep the policy on the bus, going out there shaking hands, having real conversations, really gets you in the right mindset. >> the other thing i will say she's authentic. she has brought joy back to a campaign and people, we say this all the time, people may not always remember what you say or what you did, but they will always remember how you made them feel. >> this is a very -- this is what politics is about. i wanted to ask you both, because it falls into this, you mentioned football, faith. part of the messaging you're hearing from democrats last week, and i'm sure if you're them you're going to try to

also with us former aide to speakers paul ryan and john boehner, and congresswoman donna edwards, both msnbc political analysts. good to see all of you. so garrett, what does the trump campaign think it got out of this one on one with elon musk? >> yeah. basically the entire republican party has been counseling donald trump in some way or another to stay focused on kamala harris and specifically to stay focused on her policies. listeners to that two-hour live stream last night of which i was one got some of that, but they also got a sampling of every conceivable trump good eveningance and issue -- grievance and issue. in this format a half-caf version. the trump campaign believes a different audience than that which he reaches on fox news or through his rallies. if you did tune in last night, here's a bit of what you would have heard -- >> and i hate to say this, the reason the numbers are much bigger than you would think is they're also taking their nonproductive people. now these aren't people that will kill you. we have enough of them. but these are people that are nonproductive. i

. >> joining me now former republican governor presidential candidate john kasic and former democratic congresswoman donna edwardsance said he's being sarcastic but overall his attack line has beenck that democrats are anti-family. do you think that message is getting t through? >> not at all. in fact, i think rather than being sarcastic, he has to -- jd vance really needs to take a look at what they want their campaign to do. most campaigns are about expanding the electorate, aiding not subtracting. every time jd vance makes one of theseke statements or so-called clarifications, he alienates another group of voters. you know, i have to say, i mean going after women who don't have children, that's a large swath, whether by choice or by chance, of the electorate. i just don't really see how this advances the cause of the trump campaign but that's not my job to determine. >> governor kasic, i do think it's a little interesting, jd vance, before he became a politician, in a part of his identity was going on these conservative shows trying to make headlines. he wanted to go viral with some of the things he said. mayb

i want to bring in nbc's aaron gilchrist in washington, donna edwards served as democratic congresswoman from maryland, john kasich was the republican governor of ohio, both are msnbc political analysts. okay, aaron, what do we know about this announcement, when it might come down, and do we have any new hints about who it might be? >> well, chris, let's start with who there. the harris campaign has really been very disciplined about this process of selecting this vice presidential pick and also about releasing information about the process and about who might be on the shortest of the short list as we roll into what we know will be the announcement tomorrow. and so, and i'm told that their discipline really is consistent with how vice president harris operates and has always operated. and so we don't have greater detail about who the vice president has sort of narrowed down her list to, we know obviously that over the weekend she held in person meetings with the people that you indicated, senator mark kelly, pennsylvania governor shapiro, and minnesota governor walz as well. and that the process we expect

john good to have you on the show again. is the huw edwards scandal a failure of bbc management ? >> hello, mark. long time no see. you know , normally i come see. you know, normally i come on and i defend the bbc. not tonight. some of this stuff is indefensible. this is management, senior management. failure of the worst sort. the cops come to you and say your main base. we've arrested him. we've interviewed him about on a very serious charge . and you very serious charge. and you say, oh, dear, this is confidential . we can't possibly confidential. we can't possibly talk to him about that. now just imagine with you if the cops came to you and said, look, nigel farage, we've arrested him for murder. you know , what are for murder. you know, what are you going to do about that? would would gb news leave him alone? no. this is a total management failure to not tell anybody, especially huw edwards and then to continue paying him. i mean, the answer is very simple. what you should do is put his money into a suspense account, say, look, we're not going to pay you until we have a resul

edward, thank you very much. let's bring in john lonski now, our economist now.een, appears to be cooling. if the fed does given lowering rates, which they are expected to do next month, what does that mean for the economy? >> not much at all, ashley. [laughter] i mean, my goodness, they'll probably cut rates by only one-quarter of a percentage point. that would leave fed funds at a, what is it, 5.13% which is way above the 2.75 i think it was, that fed funds peaked at when trump was president. interest rates are still going to be quite a burden for american consumers as well as for american businesses. and the fact that the fed keeps interest rates so high tells me that the fed is less than convinced that inflation will continue to ease. and, of course, this warns consumers that they're still going to face hardship from prices that are very much on the high side historically. ashley: and with that in mind, listen to how a woman in philadelphia explained the effect of inflation on her family. >> how hard has inflation hit you? >> it hit me hard, it's hitting me h

including ralph bunche, henry kissinger, luis munoz marin, edward r murrow, julius neary, bertrand russell. adlai stevenson, paul tillich and john f kennedy, both as senator and president. although she really despised jfk's father and had to be convinced to book younger of the kennedys, some of her anti remarks were unfortunately incorporated into television commercials for republic king richard nixon, for whom she also had little respect. eleanor roosevelt spoke with authority, yet she had a kind grandmotherly and mode of delivery as she aged. television commentators and guests often behaved deferentially to her personage, resist the trivialization or sexualization plague. most women at the time, although she had consistent offscreen detractors, very few confronted ir directly on tv. so the medium regularly provided effective platform for her liberal. during the republican eisenhower years and beyond, because of her status as a larger than figure, both loved and hated by segments of the public. filmmakers largely avoided and biographical film coverage both franklin and eleanor roosevelt until her death in 1960. dory sherry prod
