alexandria ocasio-cortez represents the queens and the bronx.le belies not her literal status but her talent. stunning. >> she's really good at it. she's a really gifted communicator. not only is she a really good communicator naturally, she's navigated the politics of the democratic party coalition with incredible deftness and aplomb. both as a dissenting voice in some parts of the party, but never in a way that threatens to sort of undo the unified project that she shares with the other members of the coalition, which is a very, very difficult thing to pull off. >> let's go to the stage. >> the neighborhood we grew up in was a very hard-working, tight-knit community. families going to church on sunday. kids playing in the front yard. >> mommy got us these bright blue matching bikes with banana seats and we were surrounded by caring adults. >> this neighborhood on bancroft way, we spent so much time here, behind me is where it all began. her mom rented the apartment that was above the sheltons nursery. so in the beginning, mrs. shelton used to

new york congresswoman alexandria l -- alexandria ocasio-cortez is happy with r about it. what should we know about governor walz? what do you think about him? >> to quote elanore roosevelt, great minds discuss ideas and small minds discuss people. start with people and work to bigger things. it is getting broken. true governor walz is getting broken. he was a teacher entrusted to watch youth, he was drunk driving and got in a police chase. he found his way to national guard, in the military, you can't promote if you had alcohol-related incident, that precludes you from achieving rank. somehow he climbed up to fill in the rank of sergeant major. that is important, he was introduced by democrats as sergeant major. he withdrew his name, failed out of school. it came time to deploy, national guard units, he abandoned them when he was command sergeant major at the last minute. >> carley: what happened during his time as governor, black lives matter riots of 2020. he waited three days to call in the national guard. here is what he said at the time. >> i don't think the mayor kn

. >> if you hear the enthusiasm of alexandria ocasio-cortez and senator joe manchin then you are certainly a person that defies labels. we just heard, at the top of the segment, some sound of you earlier today calling yourself debbie downer. but the truth is, you were right, congresswoman. you are right in 2016 so i wonder what both feels different this time and given that you, the version of the glass half full, where you see it half empty, what it is you are worried about, if anything. >> so, look, i don't think this is a done deal. this is, you know, i feel a lot better than i did at this point in to 16. i knew we were in trouble in michigan. and this is a purple state and we are going to be purple until election day. i don't want to make that really clear and a lot of people are excited. we are seeing more volunteers on the doors. but obviously this is a state that has a very significant jewish population in a very significant muslim population arab-american population. and the arab-american population is hurting, as is the jewish community. i think what we all want to see is peace in

and that was former secretary of state hillary clinton and then democratic congresswoman alexandria ocasio-cortezeaking last night and receiving huge ovations here in chicago. now, the theme of the second day, today is a bold vision for america's future. the dnc says that today's message will showcase a future led by vice president harris versus one by former president trump. the convention will feature a ceremonial roll call beginning with delaware as a nod to president biden and ending with california and minnesota for harris and governor tim walz respectively. harris was officially nominated in a virtual roll call earlier this month. as for expected speakers this evening, second gentleman doug emhoff, illinois governor j.d. pritzker, and former first lady michelle obama, are all set to give remarks before former president barack obama delivers the keynote address. joining us now politics reporter at semafor. thank you for being with us. i want to take a moment to go back to secretary clinton's speech. she was terrific, and the way this crowd responded to her with such emotion. >> the reception

hillary clinton, of course, you just heard, along with congresswoman alexandria ocasio-cortez. but tonight really belongs to president biden. we will witness a sitting first-term president making his case for his second in command instead of a second term and passing the torch to a new generation. for more on the night ahead, let's bring in "meet the press" moderator kristin welker and hallie jackson. kristin, start us off. we will hear from the president today. this is a moment of transition for this party. we've heard some of the ideas of what we will hear from him. give us your sense of the bar he needs to cross tonight. >> this is an extraordinary night, lester. this is not the convention that democrats were anticipating they would have just a month ago. would be at the top of the ticket. instead tonight, he will be passing the torch to vice president kamala harris officially, if somewhat reluctantly because, of course, he fought to the very end to stay at the top of the ticket. but that won't be on display tonight, i am told. he is going to deliver a full-throated not only

ocasio-cortez and warren rallying the base. and dunken.eople heard about the hostages taking on october 7th. >> we met with president biden and vice president harris numerous times at the white house. they're both working tirelessly for a hostage and cease-fire deal that will bring our precious children, mothers, fathers, spouses, grandparents, and grandchildren home and will stop the despair in gaza. >> and harris herself brought the crowd to its feet with a condemnation of hamas's brutality paired with a call of self-determination. >> president biden and i are working to end this war. so that israel sees the hostages are frees and the palestinian people can see their right to dignity, security, freedom and self- determination. >> but absent on the stage from áf were any palestinian american voices. the uncommitted delegates attempted to get a slot in the dnc but those efforts were rebuffed. joining me now is one of the palestinian americans that asked for a slot. rua ronan who intended to attend the convention and back up kamala harris b

alexandria ocasio-cortez won her primary in june. next year when the 119th congress is sworn in the squad membership will be two people smaller. the mall bowman and corey busch both lost their primary races this summer. the united democracy progress spent $14.6 million against bowman making it the most expensive house primary in u.s. history according to the nonprofit open secrets which tracks campaign-finance data and the super pack spent 8.5 million against cori bush making that the third most expensive primary in american history. while that made the races tougher both bowman and bush already had unique scandals working against them. earlier this year representative bush revealed she's under multiple investigations for campaign finances and representative bowman pleaded guilty to a misdemeanor charge of pulling a fire alarm in the capital building last year. the spending means to fewer progressives are in congress. what lessons can progressives take from the race which squad members did win? both aoc and ilhan omar credited engage

aoc in that speaking position at alexandria ocasio cortez we should say. >> it's reflecting the facthat we don't have any detailed policy positions. we know now from her but for me she's in the process of abandoning the position she has taken to far to the left. from 2019 and beyond but whether she herself will do that that remains to be seen but what i think this night reflects in this event in the place where she stands, and his democrats are making good at turning an emergency into an opportunity and as i said earlier bret they had an emergency in 2019. they turned a joe biden almost everywhere in the primary season. they got him through south carolina and james clyburn -- speaking right now. >> he won the nomination and the presidency against donald trump. four years later suddenly joe biden was incapable of carrying on. he probably couldn't win and couldn't serve for another four years so an emergency and they turn to kamala harris and what happened both times? the democratic party is up party that falls in love. these democrats this year and four years ago fell in love pretty q

months ago before president biden adropped out of the race, journalist meddy hasan asked alexandria ocasio-cortez what they would say if they could not handling the war in gaza. >> you know, for an individual palestinian american that has had their family kill, i am not here to lecture anyone. i have a vested interest in protecting democracy, not just here domestically but globally. and it isn't -- i truly do not believe this is the lesser of two evils type of situation. i think about what conditions do i want to be organizing under in the next four years. >> what conditions do i want to be organizing under for the next four years? which of the candidates on the ballot would you prefer to organize and protest under? who will sit, listen, and be moved by the voices of dissent, and who will try to silence them? these are the questions that will be important both for voters and for the harris campaign as it continues to face americans who are speaking out loudly against the ongoing war in gaza. joining me now is michelle goldberg, opinion columnist for "the new york times." michelle, thank you for j

new york congresswoman alexandria ocasio-cortez, new york congressman jamaal bowman and minnesota congresswoman omar are part of a class action lawsuit for allegedly inciting and encouraging the anti-israel encampments and protests at columbia university in april. court paperwork says three squad members slammed officers for breaking up demonstrations that included burning an israeli flag and chanting free palestine. at least nine groups and individuals were also part of the lawsuit. earlier we told you about this magnetic pouch. some middle schools in virginia are using them to lock away phones during the school day. we wanted to hear your thoughts. william says his grandkids go to a school doing something similar and he's, quote, so glad they have to put their phones in their lockers at the beginning of the school day. claire is a substitute teacher and asks what prevents students from unloclocking this and using their phone at school. it's a great question, claire. and that's your feedback and those are your headlines. rachel: a lot of schools take them you a way at the beginning of the day.

when you look at the line of speakers this week at the dnc, congresswoman alexandria ocasio-cortez, nancys from south and northeast, former first ladies, a former trump administration official. whaps the overarching message democrats have been sending so far? >> it's unity. unity and energy. one of the things that we owe president biden is that he has a unified democratic party. he made a courageous decision to step aside, even though he had thement nomination. it was based on his commitment to doing the right thing for the country. but it's been surprising how seamless the transition has been to vice president harris. but the basic reason that happened is because he, the president, has unified the party from joe manchin to bernie sanders. >> nancy pelosi was on the late show early this morning. she discussed the change in the democratic ticket. here's part of that conversation. >> many people think that you were one of the architects of that change. does that bother you that people think that about you? >> well, i think the president made his own decision, and they should respect him for

progressives like alexandria ocasio-cortez, the congresswoman from new york are praising kamala harris' vp pick tim walz calling it a watershed moment saying he supports policies that people like aoc support. former president trump on the other hand says he could not be more thrilled with vice president harris selection of governor walz. he says walz has a bad record as governor of minnesota. harris meanwhile is focusing on the economy while she is on the stump. she is not mentioning any of the criticism from republicans that the spending by the biden-harris administration is what fueled inflation. >> this campaign is not just about us versus donald trump. it's about 2 very different visions for our nation. we fight for a future where every worker has the freedom to join a union, a future where we build a broad-based economy. and one where every american has the opportunity to own a home, to start a business, to build wealth. >> the harris campaign and more broadly democrats are hoping that walz will have appeal with working-class folks here in michigan and other midwestern states even

the fact that you are having alexandria ocasio-cortez sing very positive things about her and joe manchin saying very positive things about her tells her she is really reaching out to the middle of the country that she needs to and it will be a tough race for her. she is clearly the underdog but hopefully she gets a little boost. >> john: she is very short on policy. if you take a look at past elections, biden had i think 100 pages of policy on his website and donald trump did as well. barack obama, george bush, all of those presidential candidates had policy pages on the website. kamala harris does not have that but it was noted by politico that why democratic lawmakers and democratic supporters are giving her a pass on this. democratic lawmakers call it savvy strategy. they would rather lay out a specific plan post november when a potential president-elect harris would have to staff upper administration and determine her governing priorities. one of the other reason she's not doing it is because her campaign was doing quite well in 2019 until people looked into her record enter policies

alexandria ocasio-cortez is slamming the dnc after palestinian americans were not lighted to the addressice president here she addressed the israel hamas conflict during her acceptance speech. watch. >> i will always stand up for israel's right to defend itself. at the same time, what has happened in gaza over the past ten month is devastating. president biden and i are working to end this war such that israel is secure, the hostages are released, the suffering in gaza ends. maria: despite ongoing talks of cease-fire between a deal between israel and hamas remains elusive this morning. the ceo of the manufacturing company responsible for building the super yacht that sunk in italy blaming the crew for not being prepared for storm which he said was including in shipping forecast. the boat suffered a series of indescribable, unreasonable errors. the impossible happened on the boat and it's it's absurd why a ship has not read the disturbance coming from the weather maps. this is a mistake that cries out revenges. the 183-foot yacht sank within minutes after being hit by a predawn storm poss

you heard dandrae ocasio-cortez, you heard jasmine crockett, right? >> right. >> great great but i wonder how you evaluate and assess those who are part of the bench and the so-called future of the party were just somebody who is clearly saying, i'm out well, listen a judge differently. >> i mean, i'll say i thought the best speech night was hillary i showed up there with a motion she touched on the mood and the energy of the crowd and she met the moment which everybody in this arena wanted to hear and so that's why i'd give her a higher grade and put the president much lower. again, deferential the him it's his night it's a very tough circumstance form she met the moment, but at the end of the day, when you balance out who were trying to reach here both republicans and democrats probably 100 to 200,000 voters, swing voters in 76 or seven battleground states and you know, i'm not sure that parading any pass politicians up on the stage, whether it's hillary or aoc. certainly even the president is really the message you're going to drive. you know what

and the economy that is the number one issue but i notice this piece from alexandria ocasio-cortez talked about inflation. watch. >> because if you are a working parent trying to afford rent and child care, kamala is for you! if you are a senior who had to go back to work because your retirement didn't stretch far enough, kamala is for you! >> dana: that part stuck out to me because we had a woman on the other day and she is from pennsylvania, lancaster, pennsylvania, from a retired nurse, retired 2021 looking foro go back to work because washer prices and inflation have pushed her to a point just go back to work. that has been under the biden-harris administration here that comment from aoc was a little weird. >> a couple of things, we have to remember that elections are about choices. we have donald trump on the other side, the man who was the first president to leave office if you are child's when he took office. >> dana: because of the pandemic. >> is mismanagement thereof. >> dana: you do you think joe biden would not have job loss because of the pandemic? >> i think he would have se

maria: near congresswoman alexandria ocasio-cortez tablet, the here's middle-class roots, watch. >> americaas before us a rare and precious opportunity. in kamala harris we have a chance to elect a president who is for the middle class because she is from the buddha class. [cheering] she understands the urgency of rent checks, groceries and prescriptions. maria: a lot of highlights of the night, your reaction. >> pretty disrespectful to the sitting president of the united states. at 11:30 p.m. eastern time. i thought the democrats were getting rid of the filibuster but that's all they were doing that was completely by design they did not want him to prosecute the case and go off teleprompter which he didn't do saying he even mentioned the protesters saying they had a point. he mentioned he was not angry. this is exactly what the democrats did not want and this is much as a story if it were republicans putting up there sitting president at 11:30 p.m. but here we are talking about it, it's not a good start for the dnc tonight. maria: you mentioned about what he said about hostages, mark penn

alexandria ocasio-cortez, a socialist, is given prime time brilling, and joe biden, the old moderate,we'll check in with you shortly to see how it's going over there at the dnc. >>> this could be a first in u.s. history, a running mate now being investigated by congress. let's welcome to the show congressman greg murphy. congressman,s it's always a pleasure having you back on the show. >> yeah. elizabeth: can you tell us more about these multiple house probes launched into harris' running mate, governor tim walz? >> yeah. and, liz, it's very interesting when, obviously, when you're putting your name in for vice president, there's going to be a lot of scrutiny. if it had not been before as a governor. but what they found out was this gentleman has had a very, very long history associated with china, with the communist party. i'm not saying he's an agent, not saying anything like that, but there are certain proclivities and sympathies to the communist cause, as it were. equity, etc. if you're a doctor, you make the same amount as a construction worker that i think bear, bear alarm. and
