THANKS FOR JOINING US ON THE WEEKEND, REVIEWING MY MUM.

AND IF ANY KEEN SHE SAYS SHE'S BEEN UNDERESTIMATED AT EVERY TURN.

BUT IN ACCEPTING DEMOCRATS NOMINATION FOR PRESIDENT RIGHT HERE IN CHICAGO, KAMALA HARRIS SAYS SHE'S READY TO FIGHT FOR AMERICA'S FUTURE.

I SEE AN AMERICA WHERE WE HOLD FAST TO THE FEARLESS BELIEF THAT BUILT OUR NATION AND INSPIRED THE WORLD.

THAT HERE.

THIS COUNTRY.

ANYTHING IS POSSIBLE.

THAT NOTHING IS OUT OF REACH.

SHARING HER LIFE STORY, PROMISING A NEW PATH FORWARD THIS RATING.

REPUBLICAN OPPONENT, DONALD TRUMP, ILLINOIS DEMOCRATS HELPED LEAD THE CHARGE.

DONALD TRUMP THINKS THAT WE SHOULD TRUST HIM ON THE ECONOMY BECAUSE HE CLAIMS TO BE VERY RICH.

BUT TAKE IT FROM ACTUAL BILLIONAIRE.

STUPIDITY.

OTHERS ALSO HAVE UNLIKELY HELP FROM REPUBLICANS.

FORMER ILLINOIS CONGRESSMAN ADAM KINZINGER SAYS TRUMP IS SUFFOCATED THE GOP INTO SPRING DEMOCRACY AS WE KNOW IT THAT DAY, I STOOD WITNESS TO A PROFOUND SORROW, THE DESECRATION OF OUR SACRED TRADITION OF PEACEFUL TRANSITION OF POWER.

TARNISHED BY A MAN TOO FRAGILE.

2 VAIN AND TOO WEAK TO ACCEPT DEFEAT.

HOW CAN A PARTY CLAIMED TO BE PATRIOTIC IF IT IDOLIZE THE MAN WHO TRIED TO OVERTHROW FREE AND FAIR ELECTION.

THE DNC ALSO BROUGHT STAR POWER TO CHICAGO.

DESPITE TREPIDATION PROTESTS WOULD CREATE CHAOS IN A BRUTAL REPEAT OF THE PAST.

GOOD MORNING, EVERYONE.

THE MAYOR WAS ABLE TO SING THE CITY'S PRICES EXECUTE TO THE BEST POLITICAL CONVENTION THAT THIS COUNTRY HAS EVER SEEN.

THE BLUES DROP THE PARTY'S OVER AND THE CITY'S RETURNING TO NORMAL.

STORY RACE FOR THE WHITE HOUSE, THOUGH, ONLY INTENSIFY.

IN ALL OF US ON OUR WEEK IN REVIEW PANEL WILL BE COVERING IT ALL.

JOINING EYES ARE THE CONVENTION COVERAGE FROM W T TW.

THAT'S NICK BROMBERG HEATHER SHARON AND JOANNA HERNANDEZ ALSO JOINING US TO GIVE HIS TAKE ON THE CONVENTION IS DANIEL KNOWLES FROM THE ECONOMIST.

THANKS HERE IN HONORARY W T TW THINK IT WE REALLY APPRECIATE YOUR CONVENTION COVERAGE, BUT I'M GOING START ACTUALLY WITH OUR VERY OWN HEATHER.

SURE AROUND.

THIS WAS A HUGE OPPORTUNITY FOR VICE PRESIDENT HARRIS TO, YOU KNOW, SHE'S BEEN VICE PRESIDENT REALLY HAVE TO INTRODUCE HERSELF.

WHAT DID SHE HAVE TO DO DID SHE ACCOMPLISH IT?

WELL, SHE HAD A VERY DIFFICULT TASK, RIGHT, BECAUSE THE AMERICAN PEOPLE HAVE NOT BEEN PAYING ATTENTION TO HER AS VICE PRESIDENT.

HER ONLY JOB IS TO STAND AROUND AND WAIT AND MAKE SURE THAT JOE BIDEN, YOU KNOW, KEEP KEEPS KEEPS ON TICKING.

BUT NOW SHE'S ASKING FOR PEOPLE'S VOTE HERSELF AND THAT IS DIFFICULT AS A WOMAN.

I'M SURE HILLARY CLINTON, SHE TALKED A LITTLE BIT ABOUT THE SCARS THAT SHE SUFFERED IN 2016.

AND KAMALA HARRIS DID IT DIFFERENTLY THAN CLINTON DID IN 2016.

HER SPEECH REALLY LEANED INTO SORT OF HER ABILITY TO PROSECUTE THE CASE AND TO SPECIFICALLY TO PROSECUTE DONALD TRUMP.

WE HEARD A LOT ABOUT HOW SHE MAKES DECISIONS GUIDED BY HER LATE MOTHER'S SORT OF SERIES OF SORT OF HOW PEOPLE SHOULD TREAT EACH OTHER.

BUT SHE ALSO SAID THAT SHE WOULD NOT SHY AWAY FROM USING FORCE.

SHE SAID THAT AMERICA SHOULD HAVE THE MOST LETHAL FIGHTING FORCE TO PROTECT DEMOCRACY AND TO PROTECT PEOPLE'S RIGHTS.

THAT IS NOT SOMETHING TYPICALLY HERE AT DEMOCRATIC NATIONAL CONVENTION, WHICH SIGNALS I THINK A NEW ERA FOR THIS PARTY, ALONG WITH THEIR NEW CANDIDATE.

IS THAT NICK, BECAUSE SHE IS A WOMAN AND SHE HAS TO SORT OF MAKE THAT ARGUMENT TO SPEAK TO PEOPLE WHO MIGHT BE A LITTLE BIT NERVOUS ABOUT THE NOTION OF A WOMAN AS COMMANDER IN CHIEF OR IS THAT A SIGN OF THE TIMES?

I THINK IT'S A BIT OF BOTH.

I MEAN, I CERTAINLY THINK THERE'S AN ELEMENT OF KAMALA HARRIS TRYING TO TO BAT AWAY ANY OF THE STEREOTYPES ABOUT IS A WOMAN GOING TO BE ABLE TO LEAD?

WILL SHE HAVE THE STRENGTH OF THE MALE PRESIDENT?

ALL THE SORTS OF TROPES THAT WERE ROLLED OUT IN 2016 AND IN 2012 AND IN 2008, I MEAN, THIS IS NOT THE FIRST TIME WE'VE BEEN HEARING THESE THINGS.

SO I THINK SHE WAS ADDRESSING THEM WITHOUT SAYING THE NAME, YOU KNOW, SHE WASN'T SAYING, YOU KNOW, AS A WOMAN, I CAN DO THIS USING AS A PRESIDENT, I CAN DO THIS.

AND I ALSO THINK IT IS A SIGN OF THE TIMES IN THAT WE HEARD A LOT IN THIS CONVENTION, THE SORT OF PATRIOTIC THEMES THAT THE U.S. A CHANCE, THE AMERICAN FLAGS, THESE ARE THINGS THAT WERE, YOU KNOW, LARGELY POLITICAL OBSERVERS MIGHT EXPECT MORE TO SEE IF THE GOP CONVENTION.

AND I THINK THE DEMOCRATS ARE IN SOME WAY.

YOU KNOW, THE DEMOCRATS AND KAMALA HARRIS AS THEIR STANDARD-BEARER KIND TRYING TO RECLAIM THE FLAG RECLAIM PATRIOTISM.

SO I THINK IT WAS IT WAS A BIT OF THOSE BIT OF BOTH OF THOSE I WANT YOU TO WEIGH IN ON THAT BECAUSE IT IS IT'S SORT OF FASCINATING.

THEY HAVE WATCHED FIRST ONE PARTY ALMOST LIKE CO-OP THE FLAG AND THE AND THE COLOR RED.

AND THEN IT HAS CHANGING.

CLEARLY, DEMOCRATS ARE USING TERMS.

IT'S NOT JUST CHANTING USA REPEATEDLY.

WE HEARD FREEDOM, FREEDOM, FREEDOM.

WHAT'S GOING I THINK IS SOMETHING THAT YOU KNOW, THAT THEY'VE LET INTO HOW THIS TIME, BUT ACTUALLY THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY IS ONE OF THE MOST SUCCESSFUL KIND OF CENTER LEFT PARTIES ANYWHERE IN THE WORLD.

ONE OF THE REASONS WHY I THINK IS THAT THEY'VE KIND OF ALWAYS BEING ABLE TO MEAN, VERY HEARTENED TO KNOW WITH PATRIOTS TO, YOU KNOW, LIKE RADICAL NATIONALISTS WERE NOT RIGHT GOES.

BUT WE WE'LL WRAP OURSELVES IN THE FLAG JOINTS 20 IN 10, 16?

EVERY KIND OF ELECTION AMERICAN DEMOCRATS TO THIS AND IT'S SOMETHING I THINK IT'S 17 EUROPEAN COUNTRIES, THE LEFT OF THE STRUGGLES WITH SAID.

INTERESTING PERSPECTIVE THERE, YOU KNOW, WE TALKED ABOUT THE HISTORIC NATURE OF HARRIS'S PRESIDENCY AND THAT SHE WOULD BE THE FIRST WOMAN.

SHE WOULD ALSO BE THE FIRST BLACK AND ASIAN WOMAN TO HOLD OFFICE WHERE SHE TO WIN.

SHE DIDN'T REALLY TALK ABOUT THAT, THOUGH.

ONCE YOU MAKE OF THAT TUBE, IS THAT SOMETHING THAT YOU WANT TO BE HERE OR MAKE A MORE POINTED CASE ABOUT OR I MEAN, WE DID HEAR HER TALK ABOUT HER MOTHER, RIGHT, THAT SHE TALKED ABOUT HER MOTHER A LOT.

BUT I DID GET A CHANCE TO TALK TO SOME PEOPLE AND THERE'S A LOT OF PEOPLE BACKING HER UP, RIGHT?

ESPECIALLY.

WE SPOKE TO SOMEONE FROM THE JAMAICAN CONSUL IN.

SHE TALKED ABOUT THE FIRE THAT THE THAT THEY HAVE SEEN, SOMEONE THAT LOOKS LIKE THEM THAT REPRESENTS THEM.

SO, YES, SHE DIDN'T REALLY TALK A LOT ABOUT HER FATHER, BUT THE PEOPLE THAT WE SPOKE TO, IT SEEMS LIKE THEY'RE REALLY TRYING TO BACK HER UP AND THEY BELIEVE THAT SEEING SOMEONE, A WOMAN CIVIL WITH JAMAICAN DESCENT, SOME WITH SOUTH ASIANS, BLOOD UP TO PRESENT THEM AS A WOMAN TO BE IT SEEMS THAT THEY'RE EXCITED.

YOU KNOW, I CANNOT BELIEVE THAT IT JUST A AGO THAT PRESIDENT JOE BIDEN ANNOUNCED THAT HE WAS DROPPING OUT.

HOW MUCH IS HARRIS'S CAMPAIGN HINGE ON WHAT BIDEN DOES NOW HIS FINAL MONTHS IN OFFICE?

SHE'S TIED SHE STILL THE VICE PRESIDENT.

SHE ABSOLUTELY IS.

AND IT'S GOING TO BE A VERY DELICATE TO STEP IN THE 76 DAYS.

I THINK WE HAVE LEFT SO SHE HAS TO SORT OF CHART HER OWN COURSE WHILE AT THE SAME TIME NOT UNDERMINE THE SITTING PRESIDENT, OF COURSE.

AND THERE ARE A LOT BIG ISSUES ON THE NATIONAL STAGE.

I THINK THE WAR IN GAZA IS PROBABLY RIGHT UP AT THE TOP AND LEAST HEARD HER DURING THE SPEECH TRIED TO STRIKE A DELICATE BALANCE CALLING FOR THE HOSTAGES TO BE RELEASED, BUT ALSO CALLING FOR AN IMMEDIATE CEASE-FIRE AND ALSO SORT OF ENDORSING THE RIGHT OF THE PALESTINIAN PEOPLE TO LIVE IN SAFETY AND SECURITY.

NOW THAT DID NOT GO ANYWHERE CLOSE ENOUGH TO WHERE THE PET WHAT PALESTINIAN GROUPS WANTED TO HEAR FROM HER ON STAGE.

BUT IT IS A SLIGHTLY DIFFERENT TONE THAN PRESIDENT BIDEN.

AND SO THERE'S ALWAYS A CHANCE THAT THE REPUBLICANS WILL BE ABLE TO SORT OF LEAN INTO THAT BREACH, AN ATTEMPT TO SORT OF, YOU KNOW, PRESS ON THAT SEEMS A LITTLE BIT TO EXPLOIT THIS ISSUE.

AND THAT IS GOING TO BE, I THINK, PERHAPS THE BIGGEST CHALLENGE FOR THE VICE PRESIDENT IN THE WEEKS TO COME.

I THINK THAT THEY'RE GOING TO BE ALL RIGHT ON THAT.

IT WAS INTERESTING THE TONE IS DIFFERENT, BUT ACTUALLY THE WORDS OF THE SAME AMERICAN POLICY IS BACK SELF DETERMINATION AND FREEDOM AND DIGNITY FOR PALESTINIANS FOREVER.

AND YOU KNOW THAT THERE'S AN AWFUL LOT OF LIKE HOW SHE SAY IT?

I THINK IN THIS, BUT YOU KNOW, IT'S A GREAT THAT'S A REALLY TRICKY QUESTION.

BUT I LIKE I DON'T THINK THAT'S HUGE DIVISIONS BETWEEN BIDEN HARRIS ON THE ON GAZA.

I THINK THIS USUALLY BETWEEN THE AMERICAN GOVERNMENT AND THE ISRAELI GOVERNMENT TO THIS TAKEN BENJAMIN NETANYAHU SEEMS LIKE YOU WOULD LIKE DONALD TRUMP TO WIN.

AND SO THAT IS GOING TO BE TENSIONS COMING OUT OF THAT.

BUT I THINK GENERAL, I DIDN'T SEE BECAUSE I KIND WONDER, TOO, WHETHER THERE'S GOING TO BE ELEMENT, YOU KNOW, IRRESPECTIVE OF THE ISSUES THAT THIS CONDENSED TIMEFRAME, A LOT OF FOLKS ARE SAYING THIS COULD ACTUALLY BE AN ADVANTAGE FOR THE CAMPAIGN BECAUSE THEY'RE NOT AGONIZING ENDLESSLY OVER THESE DECISIONS.

YOU KNOW, THERE SOMETIMES JOURNALISTS WILL JOKE THAT LIKE WE'RE BETTER WHEN ON A TIGHT DEADLINE AND YOU JUST NEED TO TURN SOMETHING AROUND QUICK AS OPPOSED TO YOU'VE GOT 2 WEEKS TO WORK ON THIS PIECE TIME TO STUMBLE IS WELL, THERE'S A LOT OF THEM UNDECIDED VOTE.

I MEAN, WE LET'S TALK ABOUT THE PEOPLE WHO UNCOMMITTED DELEGATES, RIGHT?

HOW THEY WERE TRYING TO GET A SPACE TO TALK AND THEY DIDN'T GET THAT CHANCE.

I MEAN, EVEN THE PEOPLE THAT WE SPOKE TO OUT IN THE PROTESTS, NICK, YOU ARE OUT THERE AS WELL.

I MEAN, MANY OF THEM WANTED TO HEAR FROM THE BIDEN HARRIS ADMINISTRATION ABOUT, YOU KNOW, AND TO CEASE FIRE.

NOW.

AND IT ALMOST SEEMS LIKE IT WAS JUST TALK.

SO I DON'T KNOW.

THAT'S ENOUGH FOR THEM.

YEAH, YOU SO YOU DON'T THINK IT'S GOING TO BE ELECTION ISSUE IN TERMS OF HOW DIFFERENT THE POLICY SEPARATES FROM FINE.

BUT IS IT GOING TO BE AN ISSUE BECAUSE YOU NEED EVERY VOTE, PARTICULARLY IN BATTLEGROUND STATES IN FOR PEOPLE FOR WHOM THIS IS THE NUMBER ONE ISSUE.

IT WASN'T ENOUGH BRING ABOUT 4% OF POPULATION BY PUTTING WHICH SIGNIFICANT.

IT'S TRUE.

BUT JUST I THINK THAT IF THE WAR INTENSIFIES, THAT'S A NICE OUT, 70 REALLY BOMBING HEAVILY CAN HE'S BEEN TALKING.

BUT I DID, IN FACT, IS THEY KIND OF PERSONAL TO CEASE FI.

ISRAELI POLITICS HAS SHIFTED.

ISRAELIS WANT TO SEE FINE.

THEY WILL ALSO USE OUT A NECK.

SO DEPENDS WHAT HAPPENS IN.

THERE'S SO MUCH ELSE TERMS OF POLICY.

OF COURSE, THIS IS ON MANY AMERICANS MINDS THE ECONOMY, NUMBER ONE.

SO, NICK, WHAT DO WE HEAR FROM THE HARRIS IN TERMS OF THAT POLICY POSITION THAT IS FIRST AND FOREMOST?

ABSOLUTELY.

MEAN, I THINK SHE SPENT A LOT OF TIME IN A LOT OF THE SURROGATES AS WELL.

THE OTHER FOLKS THAT WE HEARD FROM, YOU KNOW, MAKING THE CASE THAT YOUR YOUR POCKETBOOK WILL BE BETTER OFF.

YOU KNOW, AS MEETING WHERE NANCY PELOSI ADDRESSED THE WOMEN'S CAUCUS OF THE DNC AND SHE SAID WE NEED TO BE CAMPAIGNING, YOU KNOW, NOT THINKING ABOUT THE BOARDROOM TABLE THINKING ABOUT THE KITCHEN TABLE, WHICH IS, YOU KNOW, PRETTY COMMON POLITICAL WISDOM.

BUT I THINK SOMETHING THAT CAMPAIGNS CAN SOMETIMES LOSE SIGHT OF THEY HAVE THESE, YOU KNOW, SORT OF LOFTY ASPIRATIONS FOR WHAT THEY WANT TO BE TALKING ABOUT, NOT THAT THEY SHOULDN'T BE SPEAKING ASPIRATION EARLY, BUT THE AVERAGE AMERICAN, THE AVERAGE VOTER IS RELATIVELY LOW INFORMATION WHEN IT COMES TO THE POLITICAL CLASS.

AND WHEN IT COMES TO THE POSITIONS THAT PEOPLE HAVE, THEY NEED TO HEAR SORT OF CLEAR SHARP MESSAGES ABOUT HOW YOU MAKE MY LIFE BETTER.

I'M WORRIED ABOUT RETIREMENT.

I'M WORRIED ABOUT THE COST OF GROCERIES AND GAS.

I'M WORRIED ABOUT SENDING MY KIDS TO COLLEGE AND I THINK PEOPLE TRY TO MAKE THE CASE PARTICULARLY, YOU KNOW, NOT EVEN NECESSARILY AS MUCH ABOUT WHAT THEY WILL DO, BUT CONTRAST WHAT A TRUMP ADMINISTRATION WOULD BE LIKE.

WE HEARD A LOT OF RIGHT?

WE DIDN'T HEAR A LOT OF SORT OF SPECIFIC POLICIES FROM HARRIS.

THIS IS WHAT I WILL DO.

BUT SHE DID SAY WHAT TRUMP WANTS TO DO IS BAD AND THAT CAN BE SOMETIMES JUST AS AN EFFECTIVE TOOL.

NOW, TRUMP HAS PROPOSED SORT OF A TARIFF ON ALL GOODS COMING INTO THE COUNTRY.

WE HEARD HARRIS SAY LAST NIGHT THAT THAT WOULD ESSENTIALLY AMOUNT TO MIDDLE CLASS TAX INCREASE AND SHE SAID SHE WOULD CUT TAXES FOR THE MIDDLE CLASS.

SO THAT, OF COURSE, THE DEVIL IS ALWAYS IN THE DETAILS WHEN IT COMES TO TAX POLICY.

BUT SOMETHING LIKE THAT IS SOMETHING WE'RE GOING TO SEE HER TALK ABOUT A LOT, ESPECIALLY BECAUSE IT HELPS MAKE HER MAKE HER OTHER POINTS WHERE THAT SHE IS GOING TO PAINT TRUMP AS AN OUT OF TOUCH BILLIONAIRE, OUT.

FIND HAPPY BILLIONAIRE I ALSO THINK 2 CONTRASTING TRUMP ON THE ECONOMIC ISSUES IS LIKELY TO BE MORE SUCCESSFUL THAN THIS IDEA THAT HE'S A HUGE THREAT TO DEMOCRACY.

CERTAINLY HE HAS UNDERMINED AND CONTINUES TO, YOU LAY OUT THE WAYS IN WHICH HE MAY UNDERMINE DEMOCRATIC NORMS.

BUT I THINK A LOT OF FOLKS AREN'T NECESSARILY CONCERNED ABOUT THAT.

THEY DON'T NECESSARILY THINK IN TERMS OF I MEAN, CERTAINLY THERE'S A SIGNIFICANT PORTION OF THE POPULATION THAT DOES.

BUT I THINK EVERYDAY VOTERS ALSO WANT TO HEAR LIKE WHY DOES GAS COST SO MUCH MONEY AND SAY, YOU KNOW, WHY DID WHY DO ALL THESE THINGS THAT I'M BUYING CASA, MUCH MONEY?

YOU KNOW, NICK, CERTAINLY SOMEONE WHO IS CONCERNED ABOUT THE NOTION OF DEMOCRACY AND FREEDOMS IS A FORMER ILLINOIS CONGRESSMAN ADAM KINZINGER.

REPUBLIC CAN I AM GOING TO STRESS REPUBLICAN ON THE STAGE AT THE DEMOCRATIC NATIONAL CONVENTION.

THERE WERE SEVERAL OF THEM, BUT KINZINGER SAID THAT DEMOCRACY KNOWS NO PARTY AND THEN WENT ON TO CALL TRUMP A TYRANT AND AN AUTOCRAT.

LET'S HEAR MORE FROM WHAT KINZINGER HAD TO SAY.

DONALD TRUMP IS A WEAK MAN PRETENDING TO BE STRONG.

PRETENDING TO BE BIG.

PRETENDING TO BE RIGHTEOUS.

DONALD TRUMP HAS SUFFOCATED THE SOUL OF THE REPUBLICAN PARTY.

SO DANIELLE, IS THIS A MESSAGE THAT RESONATES WITH VOTERS?

IS IT?

HELPING?

HERE IS HURTING TRUMP?

YES, I THINK IT'S RELEASED ON ONE.

I THINK THAT I DID VOTE TO DOESN'T CARE ABOUT THE MOST OF COMPLETELY WRONG.

I WENT TO POLLING PRESENTATION ON WEDNESDAY.

THAT WAS THAT ACTUALLY WITH BABY PUTS CHIEF OF STAFF BUTTLE SAID THIS POST FROM NEW YORK IT WAS ALL ABOUT I ABOUT PORTION RIGHTS.

BUT ONE THINGS THAT CAME OUT OF IT IS THAT THE APERTURE TO THINKS THAT DONALD TRUMP IS VERY EXTREME.

THEY THINK THAT, YOU KNOW, THEY REALLY HATE THIS PROJECT RUNS FROM 5 STUFF, THE KIND OF MONEY HE WANTS TO BE A DICTATOR.

BUT WHETHER DEMOCRATS HAVE THIS PROBLEM ESSENTIALLY A SORT OF ACTUALLY DO IT ESSENTIALLY HAVE A VERY THICK STACK.

TRUMP WANTS TO BE A DICTATOR, BUT HE WHEN HE WENT BE ABLE TO DO THAT TODAY AND WHY TOO OPTIMISTIC, OXYCONTIN?

IT JUST THE KIND OF SENSE OF ARE GOING TO BE ABLE YOU KIND THROW 10 MILLION IMMIGRANTS WHATEVER.

SO ALL THESE POLICIES, I JUST THINK, OK, WHAT REALLY HAPPENED AND ONE THING THAT KIND OF PUT A CRACK IN THAT WAS WHAT HAPPENED TO SUPREME COURT, PARTICULARLY THE DECISION, CHANGING OF ABORTION MOVE OVER THE COUNTRY.

AND SO THIS KIND OF ARGUMENT WAS BEING MADE AT THE SPENT.

I WENT TO HIS UNIT.

IF YOU HAVE A PROJECT WHEN STUDENTS 5 DECIDED WHICH IS A GOOD REPUBLICAN TIME TO KIND OF RESHAPE THE ENTIRE STATE.

AND THEN YOU SAY.

THEY DID IT WITH THE BUSH AND THIS IS WHAT THEY WANT THAT LOOKS IS A MESSAGE WAS TIME DELAY OUT OVER AND OVER.

HEATHER.

THAT'S THAT'S THE ARGUMENT THAT WON THE 2022 MIDTERMS FOR DEMOCRATS BECAUSE IT'S ONE THING TO SAY DONALD TRUMP IS EXTREMIST WHO IS GOING TO UNDER DIET MINE DEMOCRACY.

IT'S ANOTHER THING TO SAY.

DONALD TRUMP'S APPOINTED SUPREME COURT JUSTICES STRIPPED A CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHT.

YOU THAT LADIES HAD FOR THE LAST 50 YEARS AND MAKES IT MORE REAL TO PEOPLE AND TAKING IT FROM ABORTION IVF.

RIGHT IS RIGHT THING THAT IS LESS CONTROVERSIAL FROM AND YOU KNOW, AND I THINK THAT THE DEMOCRATS HAVE ARGUED IT'S NOT GOING TO BE JUST A PORTION.

IT MIGHT BE MARRIAGE IN MIGHT BE, YOU KNOW, ANY ANY NUMBER OF THINGS THAT WE'VE SEEN SORT OF THE SUPREME COURT SORT OF HACK AWAY AT, YOU KNOW, AND I THINK WE HEARD SOME ABOUT, YOU KNOW, GUN VIOLENCE AT THE AT CONVENTION LAST NIGHT.

YOU KNOW, SUPREME COURT HAS BIDEN TO U.S. ARE PRETTY SHUNS OF THE SECOND THERE'S IN FACT, A DECISION TODAY THAT SAID BAN ON MACHINE GUN SALES.

THIS IS UNCONSTITUTIONAL.

NOW, I DON'T KNOW THAT THERE ARE VERY MANY SORT OF MIDDLE OF THE ROAD VOTERS WHO WISH THAT THEY HAD MORE MACHINE GUNS WALKING AROUND IN THEIR NEIGHBORHOOD.

I MAY BE MISTAKEN ON THAT.

WHO KNOWS?

BUT IT'S THOSE SORT OF ISSUES THAT YOU CAN REALLY SORT OF THIS REALLY SORT OF DISPLAY FOR PEOPLE.

AND THIS IS WHY WE HEARD KAMALA HARRIS ALSO TALK A LOT ABOUT HER ROLE AS A PROSECUTOR.

SHE ONLY HAD ONE CLIENT.

SHE SAID THE PEOPLE AND THAT IS WHY HER SLOGAN AMONG OTHERS FOR THE PEOPLE.

AND THAT SORT OF IS THAT SORT OVERALL ARCHING MESSAGE THAT SHE HAS IN A WAY THAT JOE BIDEN, I'M NOT SURE QUITE GOOD.

IN THE END GETS TO THAT EFFECT.

MANY OF HER POLICY VIEWS ARE NOT DIFFERENT.

2, DAN BIDEN, AGAIN REPEAT.

SHE'S, OF COURSE, HIS VICE PRESIDENT.

WHAT ARE WE SAYING THAT THIS IS THIS JUST MORE ABOUT THE CANDIDATE?

PEOPLE SICK OF WHY?

I THINK THIS ELECTION WAS GOING TO GO ONE OF 2 WAYS.

AND LAST MONTH AWESOME.

HIS HEAD.

THE RISK WAS THAT IT WAS GOING TO BE A REFERENDUM ON JOE BIDEN.

IS HE TOO OLD?

AND YOU KNOW WHAT WE SEE IN FRONT FOR THE WHOLE TIME.

DONALD TRUMP IS POPPING EVEN I GOT IN FOR THEY REALLY DON'T LIKE HIM, BUT THEY DIDN'T REALLY LOVE FIGHT.

AND THEY FOR THESE THE KIND OF WANT DOWN AND GENERIC DEMOCRAT HAS BEEN POLLING WAY THAT AND TRUMP THE ENTIRE TIME AND KIND OF THE TO BECOME THE GENERIC DEMOCRAT.

SHE'S SAYS SHE'S SHE'S NOT SHE'S NOT TRUMP AND NOT AND NOT BIDEN.

YOU KNOW, WE HEARD A LOT FROM PROMINENT CHICAGO THROUGHOUT THE DEMOCRATIC NATIONAL CONVENTION.

I BROTHER IS A LOCAL DEEJAY SPENDING.

2 ANY NUMBER OF LEGISLATORS.

THE FORMER FIRST LADY, HILLARY CLINTON, WHO, OF COURSE, HAS TIES TO THE SUBURBS.

NICK, WHAT WAS THE MOST MEMORABLE SPEECH TO?

I THINK THE ONE THAT REALLY STOOD OUT TO ME, YOU KNOW, TO THAT POINT ABOUT PEOPLE JUST A MONTH AGO BEING SO SICK OF BOTH CHOICES, MICHELLE OBAMA OPENED UP HER SPEECH BY KIND OF ASKING THE AUDIENCE WHETHER THEY'D BEEN FEELING THE SAME SENSE OF DREAD ABOUT THE POLITICAL SCENE THAT SHE HAD.

AND I THINK THAT'S REALLY INTERESTING BECAUSE, YOU KNOW, BEFORE BIDEN DROPPED OUT A LOT OF DEMOCRATS ARE AT LEAST PEOPLE WHO VOTE DEMOCRATIC.

WE'RE FEELING REALLY, REALLY BAD ABOUT HIS CHANCES.

HE DIDN'T WANT HIM TO BE THE CANDIDATE, EVEN IF SORT OF MAINLINE DEMOCRATIC OFFICIALS WEREN'T SAYING IT OPENLY, THEY WERE REALLY, REALLY FEELING PRETTY DESPONDENT.

A LOT OF FOLKS THAT THAT I'VE SPOKEN WITH YOU KNOW, WE'VE HEARD FROM.

SO I THINK THAT MICHELLE OBAMA OPENLY ADDRESSING THAT THAT SORT OF SENSE OF DREAD AND THAT IT IN YOUR STOMACH THAT PEOPLE HAVE BEEN FEELING BUT NOT PUBLICLY TALKING ABOUT REALLY CAUGHT MY EAR.

AND I THOUGHT IT WAS A RHETORICAL, VERY EFFECTIVE WAY THAN FOR HER TO SORT OF PIVOT AND USE THAT AS SAYING AND FEELING THIS NEW SENSE OF HOPE.

YOU KNOW, THE QUESTION IS, DID SHE STICK THE LANDING WITHOUT TAKING TOO MUCH OF A DIG AT JOE BIDEN?

AND YOU KNOW, THAT'S FOR JOE BIDEN TO THE HAS.

BUT, YOU KNOW, AS THE SPEECH WAS, I THOUGHT IT WAS REALLY INTERESTING WAY TO FRAME SO EITHER CHICAGOANS MAY HAVE WATCHED THOSE SPEECHES ON THEIR TELEVISIONS.

BUT DESPITE THIS BEING HUGE FOR THE CITY TO HOST AN TO CARRY OFF FOR VERY FEW PEOPLE REALLY PARTICIPATED IN IT.

SO WAS PINK PAINT.

A PICTURE FOR THOSE WHO ARE CURIOUS WHAT MIGHT NOT SEEING THE TELEVISION SCREEN.

A LOT OF LINES WAITING TO GET PAST SECURITY CHECKPOINTS AND A LOT OF SORT OF STANDING IN LINE FOR FOOD AND BATHROOMS IS A LOGISTICALLY HARD THING TO PUT ON, RIGHT?

BECAUSE THERE ARE THOUSANDS AND THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE IN A CONFINED SPACE AND EVERYBODY WANTS THE SELFIE.

EVERYBODY WANTS TO, YOU KNOW, TO SORT OF SEE THE FAMOUS PEOPLE AND IT AND IT'S HARD.

AND I THINK THAT, YOU KNOW, CHICAGO WANTED TO DO 2 THINGS THEY WANTED TO START OF WELCOME ALL OF THE GLITTERING POLITICAL PEOPLE SO THAT THEY COULD SEE CHICAGO AT ITS I WAS JOKING WITH MAYOR JOHNSON THAT HE TELL ME SORT OF HOW HE MANAGED TO GET THE WEATHER TO COOPERATE LIKE THIS BECAUSE IT IS THAT WAS VERY RARE TO HAVE A WEEK WHERE THERE IS NO HUMIDITY IN CHICAGO IN AUGUST.

BUT YOU KNOW, THE HOPE WAS IS THAT PEOPLE WILL SEE CHICAGO AFTER YEARS OF DONALD TRUMP.

AND NOW JD VANCE DISPARAGING AND DENIGRATING CHICAGO AND SAY, HEY, YOU KNOW WHAT?

THAT LOOKS LIKE A FUN TOWN TO GO TO AND OF COURSE, TO BRING THEIR WALLETS AND SPEND SOME MONEY HERE.

YES.

AND SO CHINA, YOU KNOW, YOU COVERED BOTH BUSINESS ASPECT OF THINGS, BUT I WOULDN'T REALLY WANT TO TALK TO BUT YOU ALSO COVERED SOME OF THE PROTESTS BECAUSE THAT HAD BEEN THE FEAR THAT CHICAGO MIGHT HAVE PRETTY SKYLINE IN YET.

WHAT ABOUT WITH THIS HISTORY OF RIOTS AND POLICE VIOLENCE?

IT BACK SAID THE 68 CONVENTION.

WHAT WERE THE PROTESTS?

THERE WAS FEAR A DISRUPTION, RIGHT?

BUT THERE REALLY WASN'T.

FOR THE MOST PART, MOST OF THE ORGANIZERS OF THE PEOPLE WHERE THEY'RE AT UNION PARK, THEY WERE MOSTLY PEACEFUL.

I MEAN, THERE WAS FAMILIES.

IT WAS PEOPLE OF ALL AGES.

PEOPLE CAME FROM ROCKFORD, A MOTHER THAT CAME HERE TO 2 JOIN THE PROTEST.

SO IT'S NOT EXACTLY WHAT PEOPLE THOUGHT IT WAS GOING TO BE.

I THOUGHT IT WAS ALSO REALLY INTERESTING HOW POLICE WAS ALSO REALLY COMMUNICATING WITH THE PROTESTERS, EVEN THE PEOPLE WHO WERE STANDING UP AND TALKING IN THE RALLY, THEY WERE VERY ADAMANT ABOUT FOLLOWING THE RULES, REALLY, THEIR MESSAGE WAS THAT THEY WANTED TO BE HEARD.

THEY'VE BEEN PROTESTING FOR 10 MONTHS.

AND THEY I MEAN, ORGANIZERS THEMSELVES HAD MARSHALS ALL ALONG ROUTE.

YOU KNOW, MEAN, IT REALLY WAS A MISTAKE.

CAN CHICAGO THEN SHED THE REPUTATION OF 68?

I CERTAINLY HOPE SO.

HEARING ABOUT KNOWING JUST A PINCH YEAR.

YES, HE VERY, VERY TIRED OF HEARING ABOUT 1968 WAS A NEED FOR CHICAGO, I GUESS, IS REALLY THE BROADLY THE ANSWER WELL, I THINK IT WAS A BIG TEST FOR THE POLICE DEPARTMENT WHICH BADLY MISHANDLED THE 2020 PROTESTS AND HAD TO DEMONSTRATE NOT JUST TO CHICAGOANS, BUT ALSO TO THE FEDERAL JUDGE IN CHARGE OF REFORMING THE POLICE DEPARTMENT THAT IT COULD CONSTITUTIONALLY POLICE PROTESTS LIKE THIS AND 74 PEOPLE WERE ARRESTED 5.

THERE WERE SOME INJURIES.

NONE SERIOUS, BUT IT COULD HAVE GONE.

COULDN'T HAVE GONE ANY BETTER THAN THAN FROM OF THE COURSE.

YEAH.

COURSE, DANIEL, IT DOES.

GOVERNOR JB PRITZKER HAD LOBBIED HARD FOR THE DEMOCRATIC NATIONAL CONVENTION WHAT DOES HOW IT WENT MEAN FOR HIM AND HIS POLITICAL FUTURE.

YOU'VE BEEN REPORTING LAND YES, I MEAN, I THINK IT'S AN INTERESTING ONE BECAUSE I THINK HE IS ABSENT IN THE ASCENDANT AND ANNOY.

I'M FACT IN CHICAGO YOU KNOW, HE'S BEEN FEUDING WITH THE MAYOR SCHOOLS, FUNDING YENTOB HAS STATED MOVE THESE THINGS.

AND WHEN AND THE ADDED THOSE 2 KEY, I WAS GOING TO PARTIES THIS WEEK WITH KIND OF IT'S SORT OF ILLINOIS, HOWEVER, BECAUSE COOL.

PEOPLE ARE SAYING, WELL, THERE'S ONE WAY JOHNSON CREDIT FOR THIS CONVENTION.

AND IF IT'S RESULTS I KNOW IT WASN'T JD WAS EVER THAT.

BUT I THINK HE WAS REALLY HOPING TO PITCH HIMSELF ON THE NATIONAL STAGE.

AND I THINK IT'S ONLY TO SEE WHETHER HE REALLY DID.

YOU KNOW, HE WAS OUT ON TODAY SO STRIKING HAD HIS PRIMETIME YOU KNOW, KIND OF 5, 6 I'M KING HIGH.

BUT I THINK HE HE WOULD LOVE TO BE PRESIDENT.

HE WOULD LOVE TO BE GIVING THAT BIG IT IS NOT GOING TO BE DOING THAT.

THIS TIME IS KIND OF HELP IS ON MEETING AND 4 YEARS TIME BECAUSE HELPED DEMOCRATS WIN BACK.

THAT'S WHAT HIS EYES ON.

AND I THINK IT'S TOO EARLY TO SEE WHETHER HE MADE PROGRESS ON SO LIKE WE'VE GOT 30 SECONDS LEFT, WHAT IS THE STATE OF THE RACE?

WE RFK DROPPING OUT ENDORSING TRUMP.

THERE'S IS GOING TO BE SO MUCH MORE NEWS IN THESE MONTHS AHEAD.

WHAT IS THE STATE OF THE RACE?

I THINK THE NEXT BIG DATE ON THE CALENDAR IS THE DEBATE.

SEPTEMBER 10TH.

IT WON'T A TRUMP VERSUS HARRIS.

I THINK A LOT OF PEOPLE ARE GOING TO BE WATCHING THAT DEBATE TO SEE HOW HARRIS HANDLES TRUMP AND I THINK WE WILL ALL HAVE THAT CONTRAST WITH JOE BIDEN FRESH IN OUR HEAD AND I THINK IT WILL GIVE HER A CHANCE IF SHE'S GOING TO PROSECUTE THE CASE AGAINST TRUMP.

NO BETTER CHANCE DO IT DIRECTLY.

THERE WILL.

THANK YOU SO MUCH.

WE WILL LEAVE IT THERE.

THINKS IT TO OUR WEEK IN REVIEW.
