i'm nicolle wallace. let's get right to the week's top stories. >> the political earthquake that was the democratic national convention is still reverberating in chicago and across our national politics. a short time ago, vice president kamala harris departed chicago and she had a message before she took off. >> -- >> she has back to washington, d.c. with her campaign crackling and turbocharged by that showstopping final night of programming at her convention. by kamala harris's acceptance speech, that not only detailed her uniquely american personal story, and her unassailable professional credentials, but also issued a call to action. a to do list, if you will, for supporters. it was a speech in which kamala harris, the former prosecutor, delivered a scathing indictment of donald trump, laying out with surgical precision, how trump has essentially disqualified himself from ever serving as commander in chief again. >> on behalf of everyone whose story could only be written in the greatest nation on earth

i'm nicolle wallace. let's get right to the week's top stories. >>> we talk a lot around split screens around here and the earth one, earth to of it all, but this might be the ultimate political sprint screen -- split screen. barnstorming through battleground states like a heatseeking missile, while the other has been mostly out of sight this week. hanging out, at mar-a-lago. one side is offering joyous, warrior vibes, while the other is offering whatever they call donald trump's rambling, apocalyptic, life filled, divorce from reality. to say nothing of the growing enthusiasm gap. tonight's rally in arizona a week of rockstar receptions to the democratic ticket. every battleground state they have stepped foot in from pennsylvania to wisconsin to michigan. harris and walz have committed crowds that donald trump makes clear he dreams of. people standing in line for hours, walking miles to get to their rallies, crowds so enormous they spilled out across airplane hangars. there is a different reception on th

i'm going to get nicolle wallace a version of that hat. let's do it. don't forget. get to illinois. >> i was on a run through the park. and president obama held that amazing acceptance rally, victory celebration in 2008. and it was hard not to think about this morning while i was running through chicago, what this means for the think. it's a torch pass. from obama to biden to harris. for the illinois delegation, it means something special to them. we're almost there, guys. sorry. we're on our way to illinois. excuse us. >> let me ask you something that joe scarborough said. this is the house that the obamas built. his vice president. kamala harris was knocking doors for him in 2008. there has to be a lot of pride in this illinois delegation. >> that's what i -- that's sort of what i'm getting to here, as well. i'm sorry for interrupting you guys. is this the illinois delegation? >> we are. >> how much pride do you have. we're live on msnbc. i'm jacob. >> i'm maya. >> how much pride do you have in this time and this moment, in the city that the obamas called home, th

i'm in for nicole wallace.he had a strong relationship with the man he later dubbed, quote, my favorite dictator. egyptian president abdel fatah al sisi. he led to overthrow just a minute's first freely elected president and has dealt with those who don't agree with him. the close relationship is taking on a different light. the post reports the u.s. government was investigating trump's ties into russia was also investigating whether candidate trump had taken money on the down-low from egypt. that would have been illegal as federal election law bars foreign governments from contributing to candidates for political office. the post reports that just days before trump came into the oval office in january 2017, $10 million was withdrawn from a state-run bank in egypt and the post writes this. quote. the discovery intensified a secret criminal investigation that had begun two years earlier with classified u.s. intelligence indicating that egyptian president el-sisi sought to boost his 2016 presidential election. he

i'm jen psaki in today for nicolle wallace. you can ask someone to find 11,000 votes in georgia, we know someone who did, or you can go out and earn them. that's how it should be done. stump for them, shake hands, kiss a lot of babies for them. show up places where people might be priced to see you because their community is very much in favor of your opponent. you're wondering why you're there. even in the course of an election both candidates insist is the most important of our lifetimes, there's nothing quite like a good old-fashioned barnstorming. with that plane door opening in savannah moments ago, right there, vice president harris, back on the trail in a freshly painted bus. maybe we'll get to see inside the bus. we'll see over the next two hours. we should expect to see more of them we'll bring that to you as it comes as well. their mission over the next day and a half in georgia is to boldly go where so few democrats, at least ones running for president lately, have gone before. south georgia. politico calls it a high

nicole wallace you just finished two hours of coverage here and we dragged you into the afterparty.n the little bit of drama at the bottom of the ticket choice. >> you know, i described the pro-democracy coalition as the democratic party and all the stray cats and dogs like myself that have glomed onto it in the interest of america remaining a democracy. with that stipulated, i think that giving kamala harris the space to make this first decision in the pro-democracy coalition we want her to be leader of the free world, she should certainly be free to make her own choice. she chose someone with whom i think she seeks to have the bond she has with joe biden which burst into view in her first event as a candidate. you heard him say i love you, kid, you heard her say i love you. it's that understanding she was looking for as well as tim walz's successful campaign for this job. i didn't know who he was until she was the nominee for the party. >> i knew him from when he was in congress. >> i got an email from a veteran saying let me tell you about these things that tim walz did and the l

i'm in today for nicolle wallace. this afternoon we are monitoring two campaigns going in two different directions. employing two decidedly separate strategies. on the one hand there is that of vice president kamala harris. she is still in georgia as we speak having spent the last 24 hours there speaking correctly to voters -- directly to voters in a redder, more rural part of the state. and should her schedule hold, we're going to see her address supporters in savannah before the end of our program in what amounts to the culmination of her trip in that state. she'll do so having just recorded a sit-down interview alongside our running mate, running mate tim walz. a fact that is for some reason a sore spot for those in donald trump's orbit. of course should we get any advanced look at that interview, we're going to pass it along to you as it comes in. meanwhile, on the other hand, donald trump is spending his afternoon making lewd remarks about harris on social media and promising to no one in particular to make the u

say hi to nicolle wallace. >> hi, nicolle wallace, how are you. >> hello.hilly. nice to see you guys. have fun. nicolle, let's go back to georgia and sorry to do this while i'm walking but i was just reading lisa rubin's article about this georgia state election board and these three commissioners that former president trump has been praising as pit bulls for the actions they're taking allowing them to potentially slow the count of the votes and review the votes. i want to talk to people if they are concerned about what they think. excuse me, might ultimately be the out come of the election. given how narrow this margin was. it looks like there is a couple of folks here from georgia and let me see if could. >> and ask if they know if their lieutenant governor is speaking there tonight. >> okay, that is a great point. are you georgia delegates? >> yes, we are. >> do you know that your lieutenant governor is speaking her tonight. >> yes. >> do you really? >> yeah. >> come on over. jacob soberoff, we're live on msnbc, what is your name. >> al williams from mid

>> congressman raskin, i know nicolle wallace has a question for you. y it to the congressman. >> so today judge luttig, who's one of the congressman and the january 6th select committee's key witnesses in that select committee investigation, endorsed vice president harris. he said without hesitation. i wonder if he could just speak to the importance in a democracy of the pro-democracy coalition hailing from all sides of the ideological spectrum. >> judge luttig, one of the key witnesses as you know, in the january 6th hearings, endorsed this campaign today. the pro-democracy coalition, as nicolle, calls it, is coalescing around this campaign. your reaction to that. your thoughts on that. >> well, look, there used to be two political parties that stood by the constitution, the rule of law, and democracy. today there's one. we really are the party of democracy, or as fdr used to call us, the democracy. we are the democracy against the plutocrats, against the kleptokrats, against the theeocrats, everybody who would posit some other form of government. for

lawrence o'donnell and jen psaki and nicolle wallace and chris hayes at the helm of our other motherhave you there. the dnc has officially been gavelled into session, proceedings are under way. and as much as this is a celebration of the democratic nominees kamala harris and tim walz, tonight is also really equally a celebration of president joe biden. plan a for president biden was of course he would be speaking on the final night of the convention, accepting his party's nomination for a second term on thursday night. but in a truly astonishing, once in a lifetime sacrifice that he did not have to make, that no one forced him to make, nor could anyone force him to make it, a sacrifice of his own ambitions for the good of the country, for the prospects of his country, president biden instead chose a plan b, that we will see manifest tonight as he keynotes night one of the democratic convention. a keynote address like none other in american history. a sitting president voluntarily passing the torch, making himself as he has said, the bridge to the next generation of leadership. in con

lawrence o'donnell, jen psaki, nicolle wallace, chris hayes, from chicago, now with the assistance ofhite, as kamala harris gets ready to accept the democratic nomination for the president. it's been 152 years since victoria woodhaul became the first woman to ever run for president in this country, long before women even had the right to vote. it has been 52 years since shirley chisholm became the first black candidate for president. it has been eight years since hillary clinton became the first woman nominated for president by a major party. kamala harris tonight will accept the nomination of her party as the culminating event of what has been a supercharged, energetic, profoundly enthusiastic convention. television ratings, to the extent they matter in the world, so far ratings show that the democrats have pretty widely outpaced the republican convention in terms of how many americans have been watching this thing each night thus far. but it's really only the beginning. tonight's acceptance speech, tonight's finale from the democratic convention in chicago, this will start a 75-day

my dad was a republican, a traditional republican, maybe a nicolle wallace republican. my mother was a democrat, and, you know, it was a different time. we could have differences but agree on the facts and have different perspectives on those facts. we stayed centered on values and solving problems, we wouldn't get so angry we'd walk away from the table and not have thanksgiving together. it was a different time, and i do think it's really important that we're making space at the table for people who aren't totally bought into the democratic agenda but can see someone who is actually genuinely trying to solve problems and make their lives better. we have republicans for harris here in michigan. i think that's really important. i didn't win michigan by almost 11 points without pulling a lot of people over the political aisle. republicans and independents, i value that, and i know that kamala harris and tim walz do, too. and i know that that work is being done here on the ground. >> i mean it's interesting that you sort of pull out that there are a lot of reasons why you

. >>> hi again, everyone, i'm in for nicolle wallace. it is 5:00 in new york.ing news on the ex-president's criminal culpability that we brought you last hour. special counsel jack smith has filed a new superseding indictment of president trump in the federal january 6th case. the new indictment handed down by a federal grand jury is an attempt by prosecutors to shift gears in the case against trump following the supreme court's immunity ruling last month that concluded presidents enjoy broad immunity for official acts. prosecutors removed some specific allegations against the ex-president, that the same four criminal charges remain. that is where we start with former lead investigator for the january 6th select committee,republican strategist and msnbc political analyst, mike murphy, and co-founder and executive director of protect democracy ian bassen. tim, what do you make of the supers superseding? >> not a surprise. he read the supreme court's opinion, took the previous time to time, and he made -- indictment, and he made indictments. he wanted to go in fr

>> nicole wallace halfway through that speech.h, first ballot hall of fame. >> very, very good at this. i think you had these speeches people talk about for a long time. long after this convention is all cleaned up. obama, oprah. and she was the full oprah. i think, you know, she was truth, honor, joy, in the oprah voice, freedom comes out after josh shapiro. what freedom is and isn't. a powerful stretch. >> she said i vote with my values. i am speaking to you independents. i'm speaking to you undecided voters. right? we haven't heard in the last few days any speakers really saying i'm speaking to my fellow democrats over and over, we are hearing i'm speaking to you, my fellow americans and that is clearly what oprah was say. >> hearing from the very articulate impassioned republican saying a vote for kamala harris is a vote for your country. it is a patriotic vote. to have her articulate this message to independents is important. >> it is also remarkable the way they have seized freedom as a word and a concept. i mean, you have b

thank you. [ cheers and applause ] >> so i had my little superfan moment with jason isbell, but nicolle wallacen seen you like this. >> i can't talk. i love -- you go. >> i think he's a phenomenal coach. a brilliant player, phenomenal coach and great dude. i don't know him personally, but he's struck me. i thought what he did in paris was incredible and him talking about leadership. this is a person who really knows something about leadership and leadership under duress and under fire and the joke about second guessing the defensive coaching of the vice presidential nominee against mankato east was funny. >> even if you weren't a warriors fan, a bulls fan, it was optimistic, it was hopeful, inspirational. it was rational and practical. >> but if you are a warriors fan, and you bleed warriors colors, you understand that what he's saying here is that the side that's on america is the ticket building the coalition that doesn't just look like america but has americans from every single, you know, part of the pro-democracy movement. i thought the news he made there was when he said every day between
