he's doing it successfully ron klain, i appreciate your time. >> thank you. >> thanks.nderson. >> now, with me now, is david axelrod who served as senior advisor to president obama. david, what do you make what ron was saying? >> well, first of all, look, i know ron well, we worked together in the white house. i was involved in a lot of debate preps with him and he's excellent at what he does. i do think that there was and you could see in his own comments a tremendous sense of loyalty among the group around the president and i don't i'm not going to criticize them for that, but the truth of the matter is what happened in that debate was that long-standing concerns that people had had that grew over time hi, about the president's performance in public just broke open like a dam and it wasn't public officials who drove the president from the race. it was public opinion and you can see now that 80, 90% of democrats say, say he made the right decision and a light number say they're happy that kamala harris is the candidate. he is right by the way that the president's decis

there's ron klain. i saw elizabeth warren on cnbc get into this.ca tarlow on the wl cain show. they pivot into this thing, some states have price gouging laws and some companies in some situationses raise prices. it gets specific and granular fast because it's such a bad policy. maria: we've spoken to grocery store owners this week. john k atsmidis has been on. they say she is wrong, doesn't know what she's talking about. it's an indication democrats don't understand supply and demand. if you look at the margins of the grocery companies, they're very, very tiny margins, 1%, 2% margins, the same margins in 2019 that they are today, profitability, revenue numbers, it's similar to where they were in 2019 so it's hard to argue that in fact they've been taking advantage of the situation and it's not actual policy. what happened was, $7 trillion in spending by the democrats ended up being too many dollars chasing too few goods, that's the exact description and explanation of inflation, too many dollars chasing too few goods, too much money is slashing ar

interesting moments. >> but obviously when wolf asked ron klain about the relationship between joe biden and nancy pelosi? but it was a. moment of. silence there. >> and then ron responded important is nancy pelosi and all of this. >> now as we get ready to hear her speak especially in terms of her relationship with kamala harris and where she i mean, she played a crucial role in why we are sitting here tonight in this conversation. but where is she now i think nancy pelosi has the respect of everyone in this building all electric democrats would probably tell you and others that she's probably the greatest speaker that we've ever had in the history of this country but what are party is grappling with, right? >> is that we are turning the page. it's a new generation of leadership. kamala harris represents archer away from some of those older figureheads of the party and by no means am i saying we're kicking nancy to the curb or anything of the sort but what we're showing now is with people well light gretchen whitmer with people like josh shapiro and wes moore and kamala harris were pass

we love joining me now is president biden's former chief of staff, ron klain. >> ron. good morning. so grateful to have you on the show. i interesting to hear how his cadence seemed to echo john kennedy, john kennedy is a cadence. then we've obviously seen him evolve on the stage. i was just hoping to start with your reflections on tonight because ultimately this is going to be about president biden's legacy. clearly, there are some hard feelings about how this all played out, but kamala harris winning this election would make a huge difference to biden's legacy in the long term? no well, yeah, i think it goes way beyond his legacy. >> look, the president and the vice prison work together very hard. these four years to bring the country back from the pandemic to get our economy growing again, to fight climate change, to address problems here at home and around the world. they've made a lot of progress, but there's a lot of work left to do. and the president's side person to lead that work as vice president harris and her running mate, governor walz and you're hear him tonight. not s

and square, 14 million people voted for the vice president, he went on to say he could have won, ron klain chief of staff, shows you on the outside looks like he's 80 one and going to step aside but obviously there are some real issues there. lawrence: naysayer they are unified, kamala harris has this massive movement behind her. it is obama ask is what they continue to say. right now, this is just day one, i haven't seen this mass movement of people in kamala harris shirts, shoes, i was on the obama side and 2,008 when there was an actual movement to elect him. for day one, maybe we start to see this massive undertaking of people saying they like kamala harris and they can also lay out the policies she's going to change. i look forward to seeing that at the convention. >> we are originally told tuesday but the schedule might be changing. other clinton will speak, joe biden is going to speak about governor of illinois and andy beshear -- tim walls will speak and hillary clinton. pete: i was saying before the shop surprise bill clinton has a prominent spot after all these revelations about

now, ron klain, he's amazing. yeah. ron klain is amazing he may seem like a friendly bear. he is sort of he's a tough freaking person and he is run more debate preps than anyone ever. maybe. i don't know. he's run like every debate prep for years. he's done well. he worked with first worked for ron on the gore campaign and he i don't think he ran debate properties intimately involved in that. yeah he did both of obama's he hillary's he did biden's. yeah. okay so he's a very experienced he has also known president biden decades and he is a person who can say to him, stop, stop talking, stop questioning this, whatever. there are five people on the planet who can do that. and he's one of them, i would say. which one of them? i think the challenge for president biden is going to be he's a prepper in sense that he often thinks that people will judge him for not having data point on every accomplishment on every issue. i'm like burn those cards because he's at his best when he is just agile the moment engaging in the empathetic way that we've all we've just described. so that's t

among the people that are not over it is ron klain, the former chief of staff for president biden. what he said to anderson cooper. >> i think that not wrong like immoral, but i think it was unfortunate because i think that the president had won the nomination fair and square. 14 million people went and voted for him and the vice president. i do think the president was pushed by public, by public calls from elected officials for him to drop out, there from donorses calling on him to drop out, and i think that was wrong. brian: yeah, it was wrong. lawrence: excuse me, but it is the immoral too. of yeah. and, brian, the only thing i disagree in the clip he says it's not immoral, it is immoral. you guys knew something was going on with the president, and you lied about the whole thing to the american public. it's wrong that you concealed information including the vice president leading the charge. a lot of folks have said the 25 25 the amendment should have been called a long time ago. so you're wrong on one point there. and then number two, after you guys pushed him into embarrassing

. >> but we'll get back to that in just a bit. .meanwhile, biden's right hand man, ron klain, wentt on cnn to complain about the coup. >> i do think, you know,mplain e the president was pushed by public by by public f calls from elected officials for him to drop out from donors ,calling him to drop out.an and i think that was wrong. kand why was it wrong, though, for them to do that? why was it wrong for donors to to raise objections to, you know, other elected officialofficials? >> i think that was not wrong. like immoral. but i think it was unfortunatea because i thinbecak that the the president had won the nomination fair and square behind the scenes. >> democrats are divided. the bi the biden can't feel scorned while the kamala camp is puttingde feelsrned on a fake and trying to convince the public. harris hasd tr momentum. but stelter says trump is justea jealous. >> i think trump is jealous of the joy right now. there's so mucofh coming from trump speeches. joy is real and it's important. people can make fufrom hisn of t and stay focused on the policy. but if you ask political sc

i want you to take a listen to what biden's former chief of staff, ron klain, told my colleague anderson cooper earlier this week i do think the president was pushed by public by public calls from elected officials from to drop out from donors calling him to drop out. >> and i think that was wrong. the president had won the nomination, fair and square 14 million people went and voted for him and the vice president, vice president was it wrong for the democrats to effectively pushed biden out? well, i want to remind you that there is an enormous trying to reverence for joe biden for 50 years. he has fought for the american people and for working families. and so we were approaching this convention. i think there was everybody was looking at the polls and seeing that there were some real challenges ahead. there is a danger on the horizon here, and that is that donald trump might become president again. and it's a danger that a majority of americans will reject but they need to know that, that who they're voting for is somebody that they can be excited in electrified by and i think they wer

i think everybody knows that you're commenters your commentators ron klain himself and others have just said, hey, this is how this it's thing went down and it's just an unusual thing in america when generally we've got a competitive primary to produce candidates and in our case, president trump was a highly contested primary governor doug burgum. >> we do appreciate your time. thanks so much for being with us. >> all right. new this morning, another major defeat for progressives in congress. cnn projecting that the so-called squad member cori bush, will lose her house seat the missouri primary that's the way more when to trade bitcoin plus oil plus gold plus so much more let me introduce you to plus 500 lead to it is an easy to use trading app that gives you a glimpse into the future futures trading. see a trading opportunity. you'll be able to treat it and to clicks once your account is open download the app, it started trading futures today. draining futures and options involves the risk of loss and he's not suitable for every investor plus 500, its trading with a plus, i wish my tv

this is what ron klain, who is the former white house chief of staff under joe biden, said to you guys, he said we were all united behind the idea she should be successful. we just didn't find the path to do it. people really liked her. there's a lot of enthusiasm for her, and i don't think we did a good enough job up of selling her. so what are you learning? reporting that informs this moment for her as she addresses the nation. >> i mean, people might look at these rallies that kamala harris is having now and forget at the first few years, it was pretty rough. >> i mean, she had some stumbles. the trip to guatemala, interview with lester holt i remember just interviewing allies of the vice president back in in california from that watched her win the da election and then the ag election that were frustrated over her portfolio in sort of assortment of intractables assignments that she had. so it's interesting to now see this ark and i think the former chief of staff was speaking to that the fact that the first two years he's now saying that the white house, the west wing, didn't do a

ron klain, who is this current but outgoing, we believe, based on our reporting chief of staff, was there at the table 40 years from now when people look at that, that tells a story about what was happening in this moment, covering it and having a chance to let that moment breathe and let people see it in a real way. it's critically important how important you think about that video, how important is it and how do you now do it to get a president out there on a big news story? those cameras are always on and the demand is like, get there now. do something now. pick up on a point that martha said that structure of the white house staff is important to understand. there are two different offices. there's a communications office and a press office. the communication office is the one that does the planning orchestrates the event. you know, figures out who's going to stand where, what the background is going to be, what the message is going to be that's portrayed on the wall. if you think about it, that's the product development side of the house. the press office is the retail sales part of

that's been made very clear by some of his top aides it's like a anita dunn and ron klain. and there does seem to be even though anita dunn said earlier today, quote, nobody wants to have a fight with nancy pelosi at this time? unquote. >> it does seem like there's some residual bad blood or resentment and i'm wondering if you've spoken to him in what your responses to that sometimes you just have to take a punch for the children and that's what you're doing right now. you're just going to take the children who is punching right now. >> i don't know i'm anita dunn said in here he is here with me he's showing the punch. >> i don't know. >> i'm not i would never budge she doesn't want to fight. nobody wants to have a fight with nancy pelosi at this time what have you i have is my life. what i have to do, right? he made the decision for the country. >> my concern was not about the president, was about his campaign as you has he has seen, that the exuberance, the excitement that has come forth in our country. i just did an event for one of our members in illinois, eric tarantin
