You for inviting us in to your home. Thats it for this special report. Fair, balanced and unafraid. Greta, believe it or not goes on the record right now on the stage. Disorder at the dnc. On the record live to you from philadelphia all week long. We will be at the Democratic National convention. Earlier this weekend, all the talk was secretary Hillary ClintonsVice President ial pick senator tim kaine from virginia. Today a bombshell. Dnc cha
debbie Wasserman Schultz stepping down. Trump jumped in saying this. Today proves what i have always known, that Reince Priebus is the tough and smart one, not Debbie Wasserman sh wults. Moments later he tweeted again. I always said debbie Wasserman Schultz was overrated. It is a dumb process that disadvantaged our campaign. The system has many flaws. The super delegate situation we have now is absurd. We have had our differences of opinion with the dnc. Dennis kucinich is on the record. Good evening, sir. This is a bombshell. Debbie Wasserman Shultz, the chairwoman and they havent even gavelled the convention to open and she is apparently out at the end of the week. It is a surprise on one hand. On the other hand, as more of these emails come forward, i think you will see reverberations, not just down the ranks of the dnc but up toward the clintons campaign. The dnc is supposed to be neutral. Like the rnc is supposed to be neutral. They are not supposed to pick sides. Do you have any doubt reading these emails before the primary ended, when secretary clinton got the numbers that the dnc had picked sides . They have picked sides. What sanders supporters said that the process was rigged theres evidence to support that. And here more roof and i think that will be felt on the floor of the convention as the sanders sell gatdelegates asemable. What are they going to do, they could walk out, you could see a demand for about an
apology, a renewed effort on the floor to wipe out the super dgts. A lot of things they could do. How could an apology rel rec rigged system. The Clinton Campaign seems to be tone deaf. You are not hearing remorse. Why because thats probably hue they play ball. Almost as damming is the email about his religion. As though the First Amendment, freedom of religion is dead at the dnc. They were going to use his religious beliefs against him. In case no one has a copy of it, i brought a pocket constitution with me, in case people running the dnc forgot about the First Amendment which guarantees freedom of religion. How do you a are you appalled. Im offended by it. The fact of the matter is we are supposed to stand for freedom of
religion. When the Democratic National committee attempts to make an issue of Bernie Sanders religion, and use it for political advantage in key states where theres a strong christian population, no, thats not fair. Thats out of bounds and there has to be some kind of penance for it. Early on in the primary season, governor omalley, who quit the campaign after iowa, he complained because he thought that Debbie Wasserman shultz rigged the system against him, basically hiding the debates on a saturday night so he couldnt do the debates in a public forum and raise money and funds. He was like wise saying the system was rigged against him. He was right and it was rigged with respect to the debates. If those debates had been in primetime and on days people were available to watch and more of the debates, the outcome may have been different. You have to remember when you talk about actual delegates, Bernie Sanders came very close. Hillary clinton had an advantage from the start with the superdelegates which is part of the stacked deck. Should she be fired tonight, after what happened this week should she be a part of this at all . I want to hear from secretary clinton what she thinks about the dnc did. It would be interested to see emails reveal whether there was coordination. If i were Bernie Sanders i wouldnt be satisfied with an apology. Id want to have them tell me how to fix it and level the playing field. This is so bad. Under other circumstances, a candidate like Bernie Sanders could bolt the party over. Thats how serious this is. Thank you. Nice to see you. Thank you. While we still have this one coming, the Donald Trump Campaign jumping all over the dnc email leak. What a political gift the dnc just gave donald trump. Trumps Campaign Chair paul
manafort blasted the dnc saying the fix is in. The emails have proven the system was rigged against them from the start. The only reason they are not the nominee is because the superdelegates, the fix was in the beginning. Paul manafort will join us later in the hour. Right now, gop president ial candidate and trump supporter Mike Huckabee goes on the record. Good evening. Great to be with you. What is it about the democrats and emails they dont seem to be able to use email. All i can say is this is certainly got rocking, rocking the house here in philadelphia. This is quite stunning. How can they possibly reckty ti this . . It is too late to do that. Even if they fraud march Debbie Wasserman shultz through the wells fargo arena, it doesnt change the fact that this was, in fact, a rigged system. Now we all know. Hillary clinton comes in to this convention with more baggage than delta airlines, and this is just one of the big blow she will have to shoulder all week long. Not a good way for the democrats to start their convention, just not good. So far i dont see this as secretary clintons fault or mistake or doing. However, this lands on her lap because shes the head of the party and this is Debbie Wasserman shultz who was her cochair in 2008. Now we will have Bernie Sanders tomorrow when this opens up. He will be out there. He was going to say i was right. It was rigged. Look at these emails. To take it one step further, they were trying to denigrate my religious beliefs. Well, and thats really offensive. By the way, i want to commend
congressman kucinich because he is a straight up guy and didnt try to spin it like some would. He was straightforward and honest and admitted this was a mess. Dnc has egg all over their face, enough to make an omelet for 100 people. I think secretary clinton has got to step up and demand the resignation of Debbie Wasserman shultz. She is going to resign the end of the week, i would have it happen immediate lip and disavow everything that happened and especially the attack on Bernie Sanders religion. What do you think Bernie Sanders will do tomorrow . You know, hes really kind of folded the tent. I dont understand this feisty, go get it kind of guy all through the campaign. I guess he resigned himself that he will go back to the senate and angling for an assignment should hillary become the president , god forbid, let me add. I dont see i dont see
him as sort of sitting back. He has the most passionate supporters, more passionate than either side of the aisle. We will see what happens when they gather tomorrow. Lets take a closer look at what else is inside the dnc email. Fox news correspondent and i confess, one of my favorite correspondents, elizabeth is live in washington, d. C. Whats in these emails. First of all mutual. Lets break down some of the alleged exchanges. Each requires context and so does the source, wikileaks. It was founded by Julian Assange years ago. It is a hub for documents that have made headlines for years. The site claims it is an outlet for journalists and whistleblowers. Members of the clinton team point to russian hackers, something wikileaks is staunching denying. Lets talk the emails. First we flagged dates back to april, the head of the june
california primary. Dnc staffers were talking about sanders, who was voicing concern for the democratic nomination process had been unfair to him. He was pointing to the debate schedule as one example. Debbie Wasserman Shultz responded at the time writing, spoken like someone whos never been a member of the Democratic Party and has no understanding of what we do. All right. Fast forward to may. Remember the back and forth between the dnc and the sanders camp over the nevada Democratic Party convention. You remember this video. There was a complaint filed against the campaign after supporters grew angry about rules they perceived to be bias. Debbie Wasserman Shultz responded saying supporters should act civilly and then questioned the fairness of the state party rules. She responded damn liar, particularly scummy he barely acknowledging the violent threatening behavior that occurred. Days later, staffers were emailing whether they should
respond to a sanders interview appearance where he discusses a hypothetical replacement of Debbie Wasserman shultz as chairwoman, who which she dismissed, this is a silly story. He isnt going to be president. Although we are still digging, what seems to be a constant irritation with the sanders camp is prevalent but it is important to note that dnc staffers were calling out lawmakers and journaljour journistalisjourn journalists too. New york is home to donald trump and secretary clinton. One famous new yorker is choosing sides. On wednesday, Michael Bloomberg will officially endorse secretary clinton at the Democratic National convention. Mayor bloomberg has not been a member of the Democratic Party since 2000. Elected mayor of new york as a republican, later an independent, he flirted with a White House Run and now said he is dismayed by trump. What a way to start the Democratic Convention hasnt been gavelled to order and already a shock. Debbie Wasserman Shultz, the chairperson of the dnc getting the boot. Joe is here to go on the record. Am i overstating how bad this is . I think so. Why . Look, i think the fact she is stepping down takes a lot of the heat out of this. I dont think she will be addressing the convention. Heres the problem. You have a candidate, a contender, senator Bernie Sanders who has a lot of passionate supporters who said the system was rigged against him and basically the dnc basically said no, it wasnt and now it turns out it was. An they are trying to use his religious believes against him. Thats the part that so you think im overstating this . No. I think a couple of things. One, theres a reason when
you run against the 35er9 as an insurgent, if the party is not trying to stop you you are not an insurgent. That happened for trump and sanders. Arent they supposed to be neutral . Yeah. But howard deans campaign the party stopped us, they did every step of the way. The part that is appalling is the religious stuff. The things they were talking about. Those things, i mean, i dont think it ever happened. I dont think we saw reports on his religion but the fact they were talking about it is, from as a progressive is appalling and someone who always thought that sanders was running an energized campaign with all of those young people coming in to the fold. Yeah, i think a lot of them are angry already. This isnt going to help. I think Debbie Wasserman shultz stepping down. Should she step down tonight or wait until the end of the week. I dont think it matters what
day. I think it matters if she addresses the convention. Personally i hope she doesnt do that. What do you think Bernie Sanders will do, if anything . I think Bernie Sanders has said what he will do. I believe he has reconciled with the fact shes not going to be the nominee, that Hillary Clinton is. That the most important thing, right now, is to help her get elected and stop donald trump. You think tomorrow he will say thats okay and. No. He may talk about the rigged system or what he perceives as a rigged system. I dont expect him to be polly anna, but i think he will be trying to unify the crowd an the party. Should secretary clinton address the religious portion, that the dnc at least in an email suggested we will use his religion against him . I dont know. Should she . I dont think so. She should ignore it. She didnt do it. I know. I think the campaign her campaign has made it clear thats not what they stand for. Throughout the campaign they have made it clear. As far as we know, theres no indication that secretary clinton was in on this. Thats never. Nobody said that so far. You cant be these are people who have been in the party for ten, 20 years. They are people that have been working in the state parties. Some guy from outside the party says i want to take it over. The same thing. People at the rnc were for jeb bush or ted cruz. Im sure, i dont want to wait until we see these emails. Idd love to see it. Im equal opportunity f. The republicans want to, i have to go, thank you. The convention will open tomorrow. But outside protesters are ready for the week. Police are working double time in this incredible heat to protect the right to peaceful protest and keep us safe. We are in fdr park, a few blocks from you in the arena there. This is the official sanders rally behind me theres music playing and people, 1,000 or so folks are having a good time. Voices on the stage earlier, many sanders delegates, one from Debbie Wasserman shultz furious, speaking passionately saying it confirms the suspicion the system is rigged and call to leave the Democratic Party. This is the first of many protests scheduled this week. Some others maybe less peaceful, and we talked with Police Commissioner richard roth. Heres what he had to say about the coming week. We started the minute we found out we were getting the
dnc. That was a year ago. In terms of going to cleveland, gleaned a lot from that and we had people on the ground, as well and able to determine fe with are doing in the right things. Both cities were similar in regard to what they were trying to do and obviously cleveland did an exceptional job. Were going to do the same thing. Quick look here. This is fdr park, a main area where sanders folks will be holding protests all week. You never know what will happen. In cleveland we have seen a larger Police Presence and harder security as you witnessed trying to get in here it is hardened an the Police Commissioner said they are ready for whatever comes here this week. The protesters may move out because of the heat. It is punishing this city. The leaked dnc email putting the nail in Debbie Wasserman shultz coffin. Will this hurt secretary
clinton . And did the dnc rig the system against sanders . The Trump Campaign jumping all over the news. Paul manafort is kicking off here.

a. On the record in philadelphia kicking off primetime for the 2016 Democratic National convention and its a bumpy ride for the democrats already. Debbie Wasserman Shultz caught up in an email scandal. Shes now resigning after the dnc caught emailing antiBernie Sanders emails. Here are some of those emails. This email from april 26th shows dnc staffers already talking about clinton as the nominee. Hey there, it was basically just a general check in meeting where she thanked us for being flexible as we wait for a nominee scene she said they are trying to look what the collaboration will look like once she gets it. May 1st, a month before the final democratic process when sanders was still competing, a
dnc staffer send Debbie Wasserman shultz an article about sanders vowing there will be a contested convention. This is how Debbie Wasserman shultz responded so much for a traditional presumptive nominee. Suz, suz,. Tell me, this is serious. Joe says im overstating it. How serious is this,s are these emails for the Democratic Party .
