The Republican National convention. Live from studio 3a in rockefeller plaza. Thank you for being with us tonight. We are very, very happy that you are here with us. Im Rachel Maddow here at msnbc headquarters in new york. Joined at roughly double arms length by joy reid and nicolle wallace. Our friend Brian Williams will be with us later this ooefg. Tonight is night two of what looks like a Republican National convention, but technically isnt the actual convention convened already and adjourned already in charlotte, north carolina, as of yesterday midday. What we are seeing in this washington, d. C. Based event tonight, and all week long, is more i guess its more accurate to say its kind of a Campaign Show organized by the President Trump Reelection Campaign and by the republican party. Ahead of the event, ahead of this week, republicans had given assurances that we were in store for an upbeat, positive week of speeches and fanfare. That is not what was on the menu for night one. If y
It is a work in progress, not always perfect. Some look at American Opportunity and see only problems. They want equal outcome, not equal opportunities. They criticize without solutions, demand wealth without work. Their ways are historical failures evidenced by tyranny and poverty, a prevailing darkness in every country thats been tried. The American Dream inspired by American Opportunity is the engine of entrepreneurship. The inspiration to the greatest inventions, the highest achievements, and establishing a quality of life second to none providing jobs, creating futures, fulfilling dreams. In america, opportunity deserves individual freedom. It leads to exceptionalism. Its a bright shining light, an example for all to see. Tonight, we explore together america. Land of opportunity. From washington d. C. , welcome to the 2020 Republican National convention. Tonight, celebrating america as the land of opportunity. Im going to invite you to join your faith with mine and lets pray in ag
They decided to visit defend themselves, and for the that, the media vilified them. Last night, they explained what they have learned from this experience prayed the Democratic Party they said has declared war on the middle class americans who pay their taxes, mind their own business. Democrats want to punish people like this because they are too independent, theyre not obedient enough. To do that the Biden Campaign as pushing what theyre calling it a fair housing initiative. That would be more no more singlefamily zoning in your neighborhood. That means low Income Housing could be put up nextdoor. In other words, youve worked your whole life to raise your kids in the same place, but democrats can make it dangerous overnight if they feel like it, and they may. All of this only applies to middleclass neighborhoods. There wont be any section eight apartments built in aspen or in marthas vineyard, oh, no. Barack obama loves the idea of moving poor people from the cities to the suburbs, he
Speech at last nights convention, recent director of national intelligence, former u. S. Ambassador to germany, rich brunell. Thank you for coming on. Thank for having me. Tucker a lot of things the president could say, he has win owed them, plumbbly, into a message. What is that message . I think that the president is a clear message, which is about the American People. Weve recognized that washington, d. C. Is the place where some one like joe biden, 48 years, is rewarded with another shot at more ideas, more failed ideas. The outsider mentality really doesnt work in this city unless youre really tough. What were going to see is the president say to the American People, washington needs a tough person. You may not like everything about his style, but washington is a place that truly needs some one like a bull in the china shop to change its ways. We are thankful to have President Trump, and hes going to be able to explain why hes fighting for the American People in this way. Tucker y
Degrading each others character. We can disagree without hating each other. Putting aside animosity and embracing civility. We talked to two us election candidates hoping to find a better way. Nasa says its osiris rex space probe has successfully touched down briefly on the asteroid, bennu. Scientists have compared the manoeuvre to trying to park a remote controlled car 300 million kilometres away, on an asteroid the size of the empire state building. The probe has been seven years in the planning at a cost ofjust over a billion dollars. Paul hawkins reports. Joy at nasa. The osiris rex probe lands on the bennu asteroid. Were going in, were going in. Touchdown declared. Then just seconds later. Sample collection is complete. It might well have the biggest haul of extra terrestrial rocks since the moon landings 50 years ago. I can tell you that everything went just exactly perfect, which is kind of the hallmark of this team. We have consistently beaten expectations over and over again.
