Interview about trumps attacks on your mother. What was it like to watch a television and hear people in an arena chanting lock her up. Hear donald trump say crooked hillary. Whats shes planning as she introduces her mom today at the Democratic National convention, july 28th, 2016. Announcer from nbc news, this is a special edition of today at the Democratic National convention with matt lauer and Savannah Guthrie live from philadelphia. Good morning, everybody. Welcome to philadelphia. This is the final day of the Democratic National convention but about last night. I was trying to figure out how to describe it. I think potent is the word that comes to mind whether youre a democratic or republican, you have to agree that was a series of very powerful speeches. Now the pressure is on Hillary Clinton. Its her night tonight. This is the biggest speech of her career. Lets go down to Andrea Mitchell at the Wells Fargo Center on the convention floor. Good morning, andrea. Reporter good morning, savannah. Barack obama passed the baton to Hillary Clinton. In perhaps the most powerful speech of his presidency. A political embrace that would have seemed unimagable when they battled each other for the white house. After a fiery 44 minute speech from the current commander in chief president obama returned to the Convention Stage laying out a passionate case for Hillary Clinton. This year in this election, im asking you to join me to reject cynicism and reject fear and to summon what is best in us to elect Hillary Clinton as the next president of the United States. Reporter urging democrats to turn out on election day. Theres never been a man or a woman, not me, not bill, nobody more qualified than Hillary Clinton to serve as president of the United States of america. Reporter mr. Obama sought to bring the party together. Channeling his 2008 rallying cry. Democracy isnt a spectator sport. America isnt about, yes, he will. Its about yes, we can. Reporter then turning his attention to donald trump unleashing a series of pointed attacks. The donald is not really a plan guy. Our greatness does not depend on donald trump. The American Dream is something no wall will ever contain. Our power doesnt come from some selfdeclared savior promising that he alone can restore order as long as we do things his way. We dont look to be ruled. Reporter besides president obama, a powerhouse lineup took took to the podium defending clinton including new york city mayor Michael Bloomberg, an independent. Im a new yorker. I know a con when i see one. Reporter Vice President ial nominee tim kaine breaking into spanish. [ speaking spanish ] sharing his values as a missionary in honduras. He never tells you how hes going to do any of the things he says hell do. He just says believe me. Reporter perhaps the most fiery speech of the night came from the current Vice President joe biden. I know what shes passionate about. I know hillary. Reporter acting as chief attack dog, biden delivered. Hes trying to tell us he cares about the middle class. Give me a break. Thats a bunch of malarkey. He has no clue about what makes america great. Actually, he has no clue period. Reporter voters will hear from clinton herself when she takes the stage tonight after four days of hearing democrats vouch for her, this is her big chance to sell herself. Matt and savannah . All right, Andrea Mitchell, thank you. Steve kornacki and Nicole Wallace join us now. Conventions are very choreographed. They are a series of staged evenings. In terms of the staging, the choreography and impact of last night alone, what would you give it . What score . 10 out of 10. I thought they had a perfect night last night. Whatever you think of president obamas policies, as a political messenger, hes in a league of his own. I would say 8 out of 10. Joe biden, the current Vice President , delivered a stronger message than tim kaine, the new nominee for Vice President. They had to put him in the prime time hour. You cant bury your own Vice President ial candidate. I think some people missed the strongest speech of the night. Weve seen pieces of the speeches now but in terms of strategy, i thought the whole night had several points where it seemed they were reaching out to the center and not just center, reaching out to republicans. You had tim kaine saying if you love the party of lincoln, we have place for you here. You had president obama reaching out. You had Michael Bloomberg speaking. When you sit in the hall, youre aware of how the hall is reacting. If you take your interview with president obama, Michelle Obamas speech monday night and president obamas speech last night, this is a family worried about the kind of country their daughters are going to grow up in. I thought the of two them delivered speeches designed for the tv audience to say to republicans this is who we are as a country. They took on trumpism more than they took on trump. I thought that was a direct appeal to independents and swing voters. I want to go back to joe bidens speech. You talked about that a second ago. Probably the most powerful of his career but was it impossible to sit in the room and not think what could have been . If you look at the polling right now, donald trump has a real shot at the presidency and the reason is hes doing much better than mitt romney or any republican recently with blue collar white voters. States like specifically, ohio, even maybe michigan. Joe biden was the first major voice at this convention to talk to those voters. If theres one thing democrats might regret this week, they didnt focus on that enough. Very quickly, i thought it was interesting that the president and tim kaine took on the issue of trusting hillary. Tim kaine made it direct. You can trust hillary because. Do you think that was effective to take on that elephant in the room . Highlhts her vulnerability. We talked about 20point deficit she has with donald trump on questions of trustworthiness. They have to make this case every day until november if they want to win. Stick around bogue of you. Donald trumps extraordinary call during a News Conference for russia to hack into Hillary Clintons emails. First, nbcs Hallie Jackson is here with the heated reaction. Hallie, good morning to you. Reporter good morning. Most of that criticism right now coming from democrats with Trumps Campaign trying to push back. Today donald trump himself facing new fallout. Thank you. Reporter center stage in ohio overnight. Were going to win ohio. Reporter donald trump at the center of a worldwide controversy for encouraging espionage from the kremlin against Hillary Clinton. Russia, if youre listening, i hope youre able to find the 30,000 emails that are missing. Reporter now new backlash. He asked the russians to interfere in american politics. Think about that. It is inconceivable to me that any president ial candidate would be that irresponsible. Reporter Trumps Campaign immediately trying to walk back his suggestion russia should find clintons personal deleted emails. But trump doubling down tweeting perhaps any country should share them with the fbi and to nbcs katy tur. Do you have qualms about asking a Foreign Government to interfere, to hack into a system of anybodys in this country . Its up to the president. Let the president talk to them. Does that not give you pause . No. Be quiet. I know you want to save her. A person in our government would delete or get rid of 33,000 emails. That gives me a big problem. Reporter House Speaker paul ryans office emphasized putin should stay out of this election. But no one in gop leadership condemned trumps remarks. Most republicans staying silent. Many National Security experts stunned by trumps stance. Former nsa director Michael Hayden appointed by george w. Bush telling bloomberg, perhaps he doesnt know what hes talking about and a trump gaff making headlines. Tim kaine, who did a terrible job in new jersey. First act he did in new jersey was asked for 4 billion tax increase. Not very popular in new jersey. He still isnt. The problem, tim kaine was the governor of virginia, not new jersey. Trump probably thinking of tom kean. The former governor of new jersey. Trump on the campaign trail later today. Lets turn back to steve and nicole. Is this one of those occasions where you have something that gets Foreign Policy establishment totally exercised that people have this collective outrage but if youre a trump voter and supporter, good for you. There he goes telling it like it is. I dont imagine donald trump is going to lose any support he already has because of this. The question though is donald trump pulled into the lead in one poll. Lagged behind in the others. Those few swing voters that there are, does this unnerve them. Thats the potential problem. In cleveland last week on the floor of the arena they were chanting lock her up. Let me show you the cover of the new york daily news. Does it have legs . I talked to them yesterday on the way into the arena and they view the day as success because theyre in the news. The Trumps Campaign goal of the week was to get in the headlines every day to knock democrats off message. What will he say tomorrow to take the attention away from hillarys speech tonight . Their goal is to be outrageous enough that were talking about them. His infinity for all things putin is alarming to most republicans. And his instinct to hug putin and the russians is alarming. I am surprised by the lack of outrage over asking russians to spy on an american entity. Steve kornacki, Nicole Wallace, thank you as always. Hillary clinton will address the convention tonight. Its her daughter chelseas job to introduce her. We spoke with her exclusively as she was putting the finishing touches on her speech and i started by asking chelsea what it will feel like to watch her mother accept the democratic nomination for president. Ill try really hard to not cry. I just think my heart will burst. This election is so important to me because i am now a mom. As proud as i am of my mom, its about my children. I couldnt imagine a better president for them. I couldnt imagine a better grandmother for them either. Just standing there thinking about my children looking at my mom, it will be overwhelming. Youll set the table in a way for the most important speech of her life. What do you want to say about her . That people dont know because your mom, your dad, your family, theyve been in the public eye for decades. What dont we know . I hope to convey even just a small sense of why i am so proud and grateful to be her daughter. Why im grateful for the example she set for me as a mom. I hope that people will just get a sense of why im so proud to be standing it will be a deeply personal speech. This is not a speech that will try to separate her from donald trump . Im going to talk as her daughter. Im an only child. A unique position that i have and i hope that people understand even more when im done than when i started about why i love her so much and admire her so much. You know your mom as well as anyone. You hear the things that are said about her all the time. Lack of trust. People have negative comments and negative ratings are high. There has to be a disconnect in your mind between the person you know. How do you explain the disconnect . It is such a disconnect. What you were saying and what we heard last week in cleveland, thats not the person that i know. Thats not the person that i grew up with that im so proud to stand beside and introduce here in philadelphia. Coming up in our next half hour, well have more of our conversation with Chelsea Clinton including what she would say to ivanka trump about her personal attacks on the Clinton Family and reminder for you, msnbc will have complete coverage of the convention all day long leading up to Hillary Clintons speech at 10 00 eastern, 7 00 pacific here on nbc.
