i'm excited to hear from bill clinton tonight. >> i am so excited about bill clinton, because bill clinton is going to be bringing it on the economy. remember in 2012 he was the explainer in chief on explaining why democrats are better for the economy than republicans. better at job creation. better for the stock market. better at bringing down the deficit. better at gdp growth. >> you love that. >> every single measurement. >> preach. >> and he's going to explain that tonight. i'm just saying. it's so great for joe biden, because joe biden saved the auto industry. >> i'm dumbfounded by this -- how is it that bill clinton has not been cancelled by the democratic -- how has he survived all of these waves of cancellation, when he's been one of the biggest violators of these rules all these years. >> you believe in redemption brother. >> we talked about the use of. >> redemption. >> we talked about the use of character to say donald trump is a man of low character, biden is -- that's fine. he's fair game on that. you're going to say that in one breath and then say character matters. ladies an

we are going to monitor former president bill clinton. bill clinton is interesting. i'm going to lay out in a special "hannity" monologue how he wouldn't even be a nominee if that party ever based on his positions and by the way, he's embroiled in a huge new scandal today. "daily mail" just published a newly pictures, bill clinton getting a little back massage from one of jeffrey epstein's victims. this isn't funny, what i saw should scare everybody. we've you have to hear back. whatever happened to the eye believers in the democratic party that are outraged that bill clinton is about to speak in prime time at their party's convention. do they have any real values at all? kamala harris, any comment at all? we will have more straight ahead but first we are going to bring you everything you need to know about last night's big dnc kick off because if you're like most

it was bill clinton's wife. for slick willie who blamed everything on the vast right wing conspiracy to say trump doesn't accept the blame? no one accepts blame if you're president. that's what makes you a good politician. trump graded his first term as a plus. save the mistakes for the memoir and maybe the advance can soften the blow. >> greg: nice blazer, jesse. next on "the five" john kerry lays into trump's foreign policy while looking at his own disastrous track record. as a caricature artist, i appreciate what makes each person unique. that's why i like liberty mutual. they get that no two people are alike and customize your car insurance so you only pay for what you need. almost done. what do you think? i don't see it. only pay for what you need. ♪ liberty. liberty. liberty. liberty. ♪ >> bret: former secretary of state john kerry tearing into trump's foreign policy. >> when this president goes you overseas it is a blooper reel. for the eight years of the obama/biden administration we led by example e

bill clinton signed the now infamous clinton crime bill. that's when joe manchin creditors and stuff like that, that contributed to the mass incarceration of minorities in this country. joe biden supported and championed. don't forget clinton praised, oh, yeah, clinton, biden, hillary, nancy pelosi, chuck schumer, all praise the former klansman, the guy that filibustered the civil rights act. bill clinton's mentor, his name, you might not know it. jay william fulbright, a known segregationist dan today things got even worse for clinton's tarnished legacy. never-before-seen pictures, go watch the dailymail.com, take a look there. getting a massage from a victim of jeffrey epstein back in 2002 while he was on a trip, the lolita expressed to africa. you can save us the lectures on the lives what you are known for and the fact that you are still being celebrated by the democratic party, that's mass hypocrisy, too. continue. we will give the final word to senator kennedy. i just felt compelled to tell the truth. >> actually, sean, i don't mean t

of course going to discuss what bill clinton had to say about joe biden. what colin powell had to say about joe biden, what they also had to say about the current president of the united states. but it ended on a very emotional powerful scene, and i think it's worth discussing. >> those films were really well done, the ones about the mccain/biden friendship and the one about jill biden. her speech was remarkable too in the sense it was an affirmative case for her husband. i don't think she mentioned president trump, quite stark contrast to first lady michelle obama's speech last evening. what i'm taking away in terms of the message from the democratic national convention on the second night is basically normalcy. that seems to really be a big part of the pitch, that joe biden is somebody who will allow the country to return to normalcy. first of all as a philadelphiian it's great to here the willow grove accent. seriously, music to my years. but the idea of just how normal the bidens seem with the military service, she's a teacher. she got her graduate deg

things have changed for bill clinton and his standing in the party. thepl #me toomovement,goingbackto re he seemed to be a much more diminished figure until he gave ati speech. it was only 5 minutes. it was -- i thought he made a more cogent argument from his point of view about how donald trump hashi mishandled te coronavirus than any i've heardy from anybody. after the 2012 speech, barack obama called him the secretary of explain things, and even today, in this diminished role, bill clinton is still the secretary of explaining things. >> bret: rhode island pitching some food while they are doing their numbers. donna brazile, i just want to ask you one logistics question. this is all on tape. we were expecting delaware or the one that puts them officially over the top, joe biden, his home state. that's a big hurrah thing in most states. b they have a different plan. what about it? >> first of all he wanted to make sure that all the states including the district of columbia, the territories had an opportunity to do it their way, essentially what is be

the former us president, bill clinton gave a speech on why leadership matters. it is trump's us versus them america versus the america of joe biden where we all live and hope together. it is the clear choice. the future of our country is riding on it. the president of mali, appears on state television to announce his resignation after he and the prime minister are arrested by the military in an apparent coup attempt. researchers uncover the unseen scale of plastic pollution clogging the atlantic ocean. and an unwelcome spotlight on the chat show hosted by ellen degeneres — three senior producers are fired for misconduct.

bill clinton, former republican governor john kasich, not much enthusiasm for bill clinton. what that might reflect, bill clinton's national standing within the democratic party. it's changed, maybe because of me too. nbc/wall street journal, we asked specifically democrats positive/negative view of bill clinton still very positive but compared to another former president, look at that, barack obama, 90% positive. bill clinton sitting there at 64%. not as warm feelings there for clinton as for obama. that's looking at democrats. you mentioned that longevity. look at this, 1980, the governor of arkansas spoke at the democratic convention. he nominated michael dukakis. nbc cut away from it. '92, he goes on the carson show after that to save his career. '92, '96, 2000, 2004, 2008, '16, 2020. intl. >> interesting to see the breakdown tomorrow. >>> let's bring in nbc presidential historian michael beschloss. tonight's theme is leadership matters, with an expected focus on meeting the country's current challenges -- economic, healthwise, what do you expect we're going to hear toni

bill clinton was a gifted politician. he had a way to make you feel like the most important in the room. reagan was just a dynamo. biden is neither one of these. if i may add on to your excellent story there. jesse: i love it. keep going. >> here is the problem with biden. not only is he terrible. he obviously has issues. i won't evaluate his psychological situation. if he's going to be holding the nuclear code, he doesn't know what state he's in. he attaches himself to president obama who was terrible too. nobody sane person wants to go back to the obama economy. so he's bad. and who he attaches himself to is even worse. he has nowhere to go. jesse: do you think these are the four pillars of the election, focuses on rebuilding the economy, keeps the streets safe and tells joe you can't handle selling lemonade at the lemonade stand, if he can't do that. with the curveball thrown in. durham is a curve of ball. some manufactured october surprise from the fake news. is that how you see things happying up in the next self mon

bill clinton will appear tonight in a low profile minute slot. flashback to 2012 when president obama was seeking reelection. the former president stole the

that she started bill clinton on the island. those she said she saw nothing inappropriate with regards to bill clinton.t to say that she just heard that bill clinton was on the island in the clinton has repeatedly said i had was at his apartment once in new york on his plane once but never on the island. >>. jesse: he says he's never been on the island we've had a couple of people say he was on the island. there's no way to prove it except they have footage of every single room on that damn island that the fbi sees. i don't know why they don't do more about this case because the fbi was investigating these victims and actually stopped cutting a sweetheart deal in 2008 at the time mueller was the fbi director and gonzalez was attorney general, acosta was us attorney. i don't like it. it is ugly and it stinks. >> i'm no fan of the fbi as you know. people like james comey and peter mccabe ruined the reputation of the hard-working people there. but virginia but yet those charges arose from the allegation she i not one of the alleged

speakers from bill clinton, sally yates taking turns casting this is a chance to get rid of donald trump. accusations of distortions the president's actual record. alexandria ocasio cortez, if you were confused by her short speech no worries, she wasn't referring to her comments about racial injustice, stunning the convention by seconding the nomination of socialist senator bernie sanders for president, not joe biden. what was that about? biblical in, democrats trying to explain away an appearance during the national convention call and meeting of local delegates in the convention room not endorsed by nominee joe biden. called anti-semitic and anti-lgbt q by her fellow women smart organizes, the democratic party is absolutely her party in tonight's event. welcome to fox news at night. we begin with chief political analyst bret baer. we've wrapped night 2. it ended with a speech by doctor jill biden and i don't know if you remember we were in new hampshire before covid-19 shutdown the campaign trail but i remember going to the last event and there were a couple women at of me. joe biden s

go to work president. >> bill -- bill clinton spoke in support of joe biden tonight. it was a much different scene eight years ago when he tried launching the democratic nominee. >> i want barack obama to be the next president of the united states and i proudly nominate him to be the stand bear of the democratic party. >> his former rock star status in the democratic party take a hit with me too movement with jeffrey epstein and his behavior years ago. >> i did not have sexual relations with that woman. >> today's democrats not eager to rush to mr. clinton's defense. listen, i will let bill clinton defend himself and i will be listening, but i will tell you that we have a lot of work to do in the country. >> mr. clinton tweeted his support of a running mate a week ago. this is a terrific choice and kamala harris will be a great partner angie she and joe biden make a strong team. that the democratic party has moved far to the left on the clinton era like crime, trade and welfare. >> it will be a comeback kid. >> it's not the same party that embraced him in the 1970s an

john, you know, arlette just talking there about bill clinton. you know, we have seen former presidents and first ladies speak before, but what we're going to hear from that excerpt she just shared from bill clinton, it's nasty, right? it's very direct. it's very personal. how much does this break with tradition, what we're going to see from bill clinton, what we saw from michelle obama, being so direct about the sitting president? the trump presidency has put everything on steroids, erin. let's be honest. if you go back to the last convention, hillary clinton tore into donald trump pretty good. barack obama was the former president. he spoke at the convention in 2016. he tore into donald trump, then the candidate, the businessman, pretty good, but not in such personal terms, character terms, a liar, a fraud, a cheat, someone in over his head. it is much more personal because of the polarization of the trump years, the presidency, not the candidacy, now the presidency, and just the pandemic experience in which these democrats are trying to make t

i want to talk about bill clinton. he has been a major part of every democratic convention since 1988. i remember on the floor he gave an endless nomination speech for michael dukakis. when he finished, in conclusion, the place erupted in cheers because people were so bored with the speech he gave. i remember in 2012, him giving a speech that made a better case for barack obama than barack obama did. tonight, he was consigned to a much smaller role. a pretaped, five minute speech. things have changed for bill clinton and his standing in the party. the me too movement, people looking back at the monica lewinsky scandal in a different way. his relationship with jeffrey epstein, it seems to be a much more diminished figure until he gave his speech. it was only 5 minutes, they say it was pretaped, but i thought he made a great argument from his point of view about how donald trump has mishandled the coronavirus than any i've heard from anybody. after the 2012 speech, barack obama called him the secretary of explaining thin

it was a concern early in the season for bill clinton. and for a while, we are told barack obama although we are told much of the language we are getting out of democrats -- and certainly not all. it is more progressive and far less than that. to be fair, all slides will be represented. bill clinton making a speech tonight. alexander garcia cortez as well. maybe this search for the soul of the party or maybe it is the entire party. the best-selling historian and multiple best seller period joins us right now. as always good to have you. what do you make of that? same here. bill clinton was on the docket. i mean, that is a big deal. juxtaposed with though again, some of these, you know, big government aggressive medicare for all bernie sanders, you know, alexander conseil cortez types -- you are the democrats? who is this ticket? >> i think the most important thing that any party -- democratic party now, republicans next week. do you want to project unity. you have these various people that represent wings of the party, but they are all he

we are going to monitor former president bill clinton. bill clinton is inter

bill clinton expected to go after president trump according to a source. what do we expect him to say? >> reporter: right. so sources are telling cnn that they expect bill clinton to call donald trump out by name and really list his failures, specifically focusing on his reaction and response to the coronavirus pandemic. and to really go through what president trump has done and where he has failed. and then, as my colleague dan has reported, organizers are hoping that as one of just a few living presidents that bill clinton will be able to help people understand and make the case that he knows what it takes to be president, he knows how hard it is and that joe biden has the qualities to be president of the united states that use uniquely positioned to lead at this moment of multiple crises across the country, especially as the nation is gripped by the coronavirus pandemic. >> jessica, we saw president trump attack michelle obama earlier today after she gave that scathing speech against him last night. how does the biden camp in general think that last nig

the former us president, bill clinton gave a speech on why leadership matters. it is trump's us versus them america versus the america of joe biden where we all live and hope together. it is the clear choice. the future of our country is riding on it. the president of mali, appears on state television to announce his resignation after he and the prime minister are arrested by the military in an apparent coup attempt. researchers uncover the unseen scale of plastic pollution clogging the atlantic ocean. and an unwelcome spotlight on the chat show hosted by ellen degeneres — three senior producers are fired for misconduct. the democratic party in the united states is holding the second evening of its virtual national convention. joe biden will be formally nominated as the party's candidate for november's presidential election. in the next half hour or so his wifejill will deliver the main speech. earlier, during a pre—recorded speech, former president bill clinton said thatjoe biden is the man for america and fiercely criticised president trump for his handlin

clinton but he is going to be kept very short no bill clinton has a checkered history when it comes to addressing democratic conventions he can light the place up as he did 8 years ago or when he was the governor of arkansas when he gave a keynote speech to democratic convention when he said and finally i got a huge a. and of applause from people who've been sitting listening to him for a very long time so no 40 minute speeches from bill clinton this time it's going to be much tighter much more focused here's an interesting fact for you come out bill clinton it's his birthday tomorrow he turns 74 and that means he's still 3 years younger than joe biden the democratic presidential candidate this time around goodness me and i'm also saying colin powell former republican secretary of state will be speaking at tonight's conference so another one to look out for thank you alan fischer in washington now related news here u.s. democrats saying they will press ahead with a bill to prevent changes to the postal service despite assurances that cost cutting plans are being suspended the postma

and i think after bill clinton is elected he very much or attempts to do the same with bill clinton. he made bill clinton, the embodiment not so much a corrupt democratic establishment kind of a morally corrupt establishment or a culturally too far left establishment. whatever he wanted to focus on a think he then tried to did the same. i am sure his experience with rights emboldened him to say we can move forward with an impeachment it might very well work. >> the big move for gingrich of course is 1994. talk about how that campaign take shape. was it really a national election? how big of a role does america play? how is gingrich going to change? so plate is an important election. one of the things that gingrich does is he nationalizes the midterm campaigns very effectively. and he uses the things he learns in the 80s about why the media is useful to his advantage. the most famous elements of that campaign for everyone he remembers that or studied it with the contract in america, which is really something of a media gimmick. it was a set of promises that republicans were making. an

you heard from bill clinton tonight aboutab chaos. and i think that if you are looking for bold new ideas, you aren't going to get them from joe biden. they aren't offering them. i think almost the emotional centerpiece was that tributes to john mccain in the j sense that after these four years, hungry to go back the old way. sounds odd because we always talk about the new chapter, go back to the old way, reach back across the aisle and work back together and i think that's what you heard tonight. >> bret: it may have been hard to hear. he might've been saying jill biden's husband, but it wasti garbled. just extrapolating there. brit, to kris' point, the biden camp seems to be using 47 years of time in washington as an asset, saying relationships matter, john mccain, colin powell, bernie sanders saying that all this time matters because of the relationships. but it is not the bold big change that progresses have been calling for like aoc tonight. >> no, it's not. but i think the speech tonight by jill biden was tremendously effective

of bill clinton yes b.-i of george w. bush the f.b.i. of barack obama both democrat and republican this is not about politics is the f.b.i. that had the prince andrew picture they had it this is the f.b.i. that did not for some reason for some reason would not give over evidence to the victim's side they could prosecute epstein and i make the you're wrong i believe that was 2015 i could be corrected if that here is not correct but they have the evidence they wouldn't cooperate with the victims we need to ask the question now and i think you know i'm going with this what is the f.b.i. protecting there steve was and steve working for the f.b.i. i don't know i'm just giving opinions i'm getting you know the nation from what i read you know you're asking a very valid question look at carter page i mean he was constantly being asked who he was working for he actually had a relationship with the with the cia but he wasn't allowed to say it ok can i just say how it's a cost i remember when when they asked him a question you know way back you kn

bill clinton depending on. what side of the line was donald trump it seems to me there's so much focus a little details which i think is a sad comment on our culture and looking for political advantage instead of looking at really what is happening the failures. decades what you've raised is i think the crux of our time right now and i do think that this case is bringing it to light a couple things to say here with respect to what you have now truthfully and accurately stated but a couple things to state one is the fact that these are things as you said that we have known for a long time that we have that the public has known but somehow we don't know how we've known it we just know these things are out there but we don't believe they're actually factual enough to be bringing up in major conversations and that's because of mainstream media coverage or i should say lack thereof especially in the united states here so we've seen this complete you know shush on the level of that we're not sure what to believe and

but what about bill clinton? i was against bill clinton. i worked against bill clinton. i thought that was -- i believe this stuff. i believe that we needed to restore honor and dignity to the white house. it's the same white house. so why don't wneedo restore honor and dignity to it again, just because it's not our guy? you know, i don't -- >> but what about the ideas? i mean, there are successful center-right politicians, right? in fact, three of the most successful governors in the country arcenter-right politicians. they're republicans in blue states. they're larry hogan and charlie baker and phil scott. you know that. you're in vermont, right? so, i mean, what about those guys? >> well, it's almost like a different party. now, i worked for all of those guys. i love them. they'rwildly popular. if the republican party really wanted to operate like a business, it would be all over these guys saying like, "dude, teach us what you know. how do we become more like you?" because if we can win these states in a presidential race, we're going to own the world. instead, they

we heard from bill clinton and jimmy carter, john kerry, from colin powell. and then to hear from jill biden, who story in a way no one else can. michelle obamaar act to follow, but being there in the classroom was an effective touch. for alexandria ocasio-cortez, what she did with her one minute was very interesting to me. she's this young, bright woman pushing the partyleftward, and she chose the mostrational political backdrop. the flags, looking directly at the camera, a real establishment picture. i think one question that haunts this convention, and it has to, the president is obviously going to make an issue of it. i think most voters, looking at a man of his age are going to take a close look at him. every time he's on-screen people are going to lk to see if he has what it takes as far as the presidency istwo, this zoom con more charismatic than a marriott commercial. >> thanks, terry. now the towering thei frurig voice to support presidential hopeful joe. ♪ [cheers and applause] >> celebration at biden headquarters. the candidate rejoicing as henu

you were talking to john earlier about the bill clinton administration, the bill clinton campaign. it's the first campaign i worked on, and i travele traveled withm every day in the fall, one of the things i saw him do every day, people say voters vote for thperson they like the most. what i found is voters vote for the people who like them the most, the person who respects them, the person who will fight for them the most. that's what they saw in bill clinton, that he really understood them. before bill clinton ran for president, the democrats had lost five out of six presidential elections. bill safe r mocratso rlinad cn un and msince then, thee deitmocrs have won the popular vote in six out of seven elections. >> o'donnell: we have a big night ahead, we are goi to hear from joe biden, colin powell, cindy mccain, john kerry. maria elena, though, on the question of the economy, latino unemployment is at 14.5%. >> exactly. and i think it all has to do have been disproportionately affected by coronavirus, and the economic and health disparities are very evident. they have the highes

clinton is elected, he very much attempts to be the same with bill clinton, he made bill clinton the embodiment, not so much of corrupt democratic establishment and he moved on to morally enter corrupt establishment or two for left establishment, whatever he wanted to focus on, i think he tries to do the same, i'm sure his experience would embolden him to say we can move forward with impeachment and it might very well work. >> the big one is 1994, so talk about how that campaign takes shape, was it really a national election and how big of a contract in america play, how is gingrich spin that? >> it is an important election and one of the things that gingrich does is he nationalizes the midterm campaign very effectively and he uses the things he learned in the 80s about why the media is useful to his advantage into the most famous element is that campaign for everyone who remembers or studied as a contract in america which is really something of a media gimmick and it was a set of promises that republicans were making and if they won, they would enact them, that was their first hundr

is is a surprise given bill clinton's history it doesn't it doesn't shock me the fact that bill clinton would be on epstein's island that doesn't shock me doesn't make for interesting news ok it's an interesting revelation in the history of this former u.s. president but it shouldn't shock anyone nor should it shock anyone if you find out some hollywood celebrities are on this island either we're not talking about people that we should be looking up to hollywood and bill clinton but peter there is one name and there's one organization that we should all take a look at it it's an organization and a name that no one in the mainstream media is reporting on and that is the f.b.i. the f.b.i. and robert mueller robert mueller says f.b.i. the f.b.i. of bill clinton the f.b.i. of george w. bush the f.b.i. of barack obama both democrat and republican this is not about politics is the f.b.i. that had the prince andrew picture they had it this is the f.b.i. that did not for some reason for some reason would not give over evidence to the victims said they could prosecute epstein and i make the you'

and i think that after bill clinton was elected he very much attempts to do the same with bill clinton. he made bill clinton the embodiment, not so much of a corrupt democratic establishment, he'd moved on to a more morally corrupt and whatever he wanted to focus on, i think he nighed to do the same. i'm sure his experience with wright emboldened him, that is to say we can move forward with impeachment and it may very well work. >> the big moment for gingrich of course was 1994, right? so talk about how that campaign takes shape. was it a national election, and what kind of role did it may and how did gingrich spin that? >> no, it is an important election and one of the things that gingrich does, he national nieses the mid term complains effectively and he uses the things he learned in the 80's, why-- and the most famous element of the campaign for everyone who studied it as a contract in america, it's something of a media gimmick. it was a set of promises that republicans were making and if they won they would enact them. that was their first 100 days. and it was a tearout guide. ther

of course, bill clinton. they put bill clinton up on the stage. when you look at all of those three things, you see that they just purely are focusing on the emotional side of things, that is a misjudgment. it's a dangerous misjudgment by the democratic party. have to look at the consultants and people running their campaigns, but they just don't get it. it they don't understand that this country wants to see action right now. it is action action action. if the rnc is going to learn many lessons, it is to get away from the telethon style format, and look for a more action based format. >> laura: i want to talk to you about that, given the polls are tightening across the country right now, what can the republicans learn given what we've seen with just the mechanics of how this is going as a virtual convention? it's my understanding that the trump campaign, at least they haven't told us, where exactly the president is going to be giving his address from it. at the white house, but where? is it inside, is it -- it seems like there's a lot of kind of

>> no, but i do have a comment, bill clinton represented the south. which was great interest to democrats who thought they lost it. but thinking of stacey abrams, and her 2018 election, there is an opportunity for democrats to also target the south as more black americans and latinx people settle in southern states. so we shouldn't write off folks, and we should think about jesse jackson and his 1998 dnc speech, a 50-state strategy to capture all democrats. and not ignore particular places especially if you have a mission and a statement of policy that should resonate with people across political spectrums. >> but how important is it in your view on day two and the days ahead that they do show more explicitly the bridge to the next generation? biden talked about it, he certainly lived up to it in the running mate as compared to other options. yet tonight had a lot of throwbacks. >> right. i think tomorrow, when they're doing the 17 rising stars, i think that's their attempt to show or to showcase the new, young leaders in particular states as potentia

with bill clinton. he made bill clinton the embodiment not so much of a corrupt democratic establishment. he had moved on to a morally corrupt establishment or culturally too far left establishment, whatever he wanted to focus on, i think you then tries to do the same. i'm sure his experience with jim wright embolden him to saint we can move forward with an impeachment and it might very well work. >> that the move for gingrich was in 1994, right? talk about how that campaign takes shape. was it really a national election. how big a a role does the contt with america play? how does gingrich spend that massive to? >> it is an important election, and one of the things that gingrich does is he nationalizes the midterm campaigns very effectively and he uses the things he learned in the '80s about why the media is useful to his advantage. and so the most famous element of that campaign for everyone who remembers it or studied it as a contract in america which is really something of immediate gimmick. it was a

tonight's speeches include former president bill clinton and dr. jill biden, the wife of the soon-to-be vice presidential joe biden. but let's begin over at the white house right now. cnn's ryan nobles is joining us. the postmaster general says no more changes at the postal service until after the election on november 3rd. but some fear the damage has already been done. >> reporter: yeah, you're right about that, wolf. and the president is on the campaign trail today visiting two important key swing states as he works toward his re-election bid. while he is on the campaign trail, there are a number of policy challenges facing him here in washington including the future of the united states postal service. tonight the postal service is changing course, walking back plans to institute big changes that critics say had the potential to disrupt the fall election, as millions of americans plan to cast their vote by mail. >> the democrats want to make it a political issue. it's not a political issue. it's really about a correct vote. >> reporter: the anno

former president bill clinton of course. let's bring in perspective on what he had to day, paul, laura and dr. sayed, paul, let me start with you, some of our colleagues here had some bite in their analysis of bill clinton's speech. they said he got a walk-on part in a party that got him to the left. and they ewe his provisions on trade and criminal justice as a bias. >> that is nonsense. the cbs poll said a vast majority of people wanted to hear from him. but it's not his convention. it's joe's. did i not have a role in the speech. i love the guy and i'm not flacking my own writing. i had nothing to do with the speech. but he never calls it a speech. he calls it a talk. >> the metaphor of a job interview, he is walking voters through the choice they have to make, and he used the word chaos that i heard michelle obama speak last night. president clinton said it font. i think you will hear it more and more from democrats. a lot of the voters be trying to believe their liar is in chaos. look at the conversation you were having

i think we can say that, bill clinton it seems clear. >> no, no, no. let me tell you, the former head of the fbi do a thorough investigation, went to the secret service. secret service told us there was no evidence that he was ever on the island. he has categorically denied it. her story is so fake, her story is that ghislaine maxwell flew him on her helicopter when she had just gotten a license with secret service men on board and flew bill clinton to the island where he sat next to underage young girls. totally false story. the secret service. everything this woman has said. >> tucker: hold on, wait, wait, i'm sorry. hold on. the secret service is not required to disclose the manifest or the facts. they can say whatever they want, a. b, bill clinton said he was never on the guy's plane and that turned out to be alive. >> he admitted he was on his plane. >> tucker: he has now paid >> bill clinton was on his plane numerous times. i was on his plane. i never flowed with violet on his plane. i was on his plane once with my life and my daughter when he th

same with bill clinton. he made bill clinton the embodiment not so much of a corrupt democratic establishment, he had moved on to a kind of morally corrupt establishment or a culturally too far left establishment. whatever he wanted to focus on, i think he then tried to do the same. and i'm sure the experience with wright emboldened him to say we can move forward with an impeachment, and it might very well work. >> the big moment for gingrich was in 1994, right? so talk about how that campaign takes shape. was it really a national election? how big of a role does the contract with america play? how did gingrich spin that -- [inaudible] >> yeah, no, it is an important election, and one of the things that gingrich does is he nationalizes the midterm campaign very effectively, and he uses the things he learned in the '80s about why the media is useful to husband advantage -- to his advantage. so the most famous element of that campaign for everyone who remembers it or studied it as a contract with america which

>> guest: in some ways he comes first and bill clinton comes second. some of the parts of the book to move backward even was to bring allies how strategic gingrich was in how he was going to attack the democrats. he doesn't focus that much on liberals versus conservatives, left versus right. in the post-watergate america when there was a lot of distrust and a lot of anger, he turned the story and keeps coming back because he thinks that we thought were his mat -- presidet made everything he has been saying. he was a picture and then brings them down and i think that comes after. he made bill clinton the embodiment of establishment were too far left establishment, whatever he wanted to focus on, he tried to do the same and i am sure has experienced to say we can move forward with him in judgment debate co- impeachment. >> host: talk about how the campaign takes shape. how does he spend not? >> guest: one of the things he does is smash -- why the media is useful as so the famous element of the campaign and every one that remembers him or study the contra

president bill clinton and the former secretary of state john kerry addressing party supporters alan fisher has been following events for us from the white house joins me now from washington d.c. so he's finally. become the choice of the democratic party what next alan. that's right no longer do is say presumptive nominee he is the nominee of the democratic party 22 years after he 1st ran for president he has convinced the democratic party that he is the man for the job $77.00 days to convince the country that he should be the next president it's been an interesting 2nd night normally you're in the hall you have the roll call of states they walk up to the microphone and see who they are voting for this time it was all done on tape some of the states incorporated some significant landmarks it was actually quite an impressive televisual show perhaps even the template for conventions in the future not least because they could condense there and we've just heard from joe biden as well she was saying how joe biden has been through some very traumatic times in his life you remember that he

>> no, but i do have a comment, bill clinton represented the south. but thinking of stacey abrams, and her 2018 election, there is an opportunity for democrats to also target the south as more black americans and latinx people settle in southern states. so we shouldn't write off folks, and we should think about jesse jackson and his 1998 dnc speech, a 50-state strategy to capture all democrats. >> but how important is it in your view on day two and the days ahead that they do show more explicitly the bridge to the next generation? biden talked about it, he certainly lived up to it in the running mate as compared to other options. yet tonight had a lot of throwbacks. >> right. i think tomorrow, when they're doing the 17 rising stars, i think that's their attempt to show or to showcase the new, young leaders in particular states as potential democratic leaders. we know that stacey abrams is one of those individuals. i wouldn't consider her a rising star, she's a constellation and a set star. i would be curious to see how that list was chosen. but democr

well, bill clinton -- bill clinton couldn't find 150 words to discuss foreign policy in an acceptance speech that lasted almost an hour. you know, as was said, as was said of another democratic candidate, bill clinton's foreign policy experience is pretty much confined to having had breakfast once at the international house of pancakes. [laughter] [cheers and applause] let us recall what happened. let us look at the record and recall what happened. under president george bush, more human beings escaped from the prison house of tyranny to freedom than in any other four-year period in history. [cheers and applause] and for any man -- let me tell you, for any man to call this a record of failure is the cheap , political rhetoric of politicians who only know how to build themselves up by tearing america down, and we don't want that kind of leadership in the united states. [cheers and applause] the presidency, my friends -- the presidency is also an office that theodore roosevelt called america's "bully pulpit." harry truman said it was "preeminently a place of moral leadership." george bu

last night was bill clinton's night. at this comment really caught my attention this morning for it i want to play this from cnn and get a quick thought from you on this. >> i am dumbfounded -- >> how does he save the auto motive industry? >> i am dumbfounded by this bill. how is it that bill clinton has not been canceled by the democratic party? how has he survived all of these waves of cancellation when he has been one of the biggest violators of these rules all these years. >> martha: dumbfounded faces on that site, richard. what you say? >> i understand they have criticism for bill clinton and it's a very fair criticism, but you have to understand bill clinton was also the president ushered in the tech boom. he was the president a lot of folks got homes under. and so he speaks to the part of the democratic party that wanted to hear from him. i think for those voters, they were very happy about it. >> martha: that was the argument. they have to look at the whole -- you have to look at the whole of everything they have

the bill clinton speech kind of -- i don't know. i am sure you have seen the picture that came out today with the epstein masseuse situation. as a whole, democrats are just, i mean, morons. >> pamela is coming in from michigan, democrat. it's your turn. >> i am really happy. i cannot tell you. i watched the president and i watched joe biden. when he was talking, for some ,eason, i just felt like, wow this is good. i felt comfortable, i felt that things would change. i'm not happy with the way the president is handling things. mean and nasty, and i just enjoy listening to biden. very, veryfeel comfortable, and that we all matter. and that is so important right now in our time. >> thank you. brian matthews in north carolina on our independent line. >> i am to the left really of the democratic party, which is why i consider myself an independent. i am a democratic-socialist. there were a lot of tears in my house the night that bernie sanders really lost the democratic nomination. and bernieaoc himself have said, this election is about

but, they liked the, the bill clinton policies of his time that bill clinton, you know, was a fairly steady hand at the presidency, even all the comotion that he did create for it. that, i think, is who he reached out to, it's interesting, that he was not necessarily put on the dockett to speak tonight to reach out to young voters. we saw that from aoc, who came in and ended up with one of the nominating speeches for bernie sanders. >> many thanks to you for joining us, preappreciate it. >> thank you. >> donald trump responded to biden's convention. he questioned his mental capacity. andthe u.s. postal general, president trump appointed is backing down on cut backes that threaten mail-in voting in the up coming election. we have the report. >>> tonight, the postal service is changing course. walking back plans to institute big changes that critics say had the potential to disrupt the fall election. as millions of americans plan to cast their vote by mail. >> the democrats want to make it a political issue. it's not a political issue. it's really about a correct vote. >> the announcem

one of those speakers, bill clinton. bill clinton had the sharpest attacks on, you know, the night, tearing apart the president's covid response. here is part of what he said. >> how did donald trump respond? at first, he said the virus was under control and would soon disappear. when it didn't, he was on tv every day bragging on what a great job he was doing. when asked about the surge in deaths, he shrugged and said "it is what it is." at a time like this, the oval office should be a command center. instead, it's a storm center. there's only chaos. if you want a president who defines the job as spending hours a day watching tv and zapping people on social media, he's your man. >> he even got a message from the former president jimmy carter, trolling trump a bit, chris, on his pandemic performance, stressing that, well, biden believes in masks and testing, at least. >> yeah, this is a flat earth kind of situation where not believing in the science is almost has to be intentional. you know, listening to clinton, let me g
