This is the second-most important night for Democrats: Harold Ford, Jr.

WHAT IS GOING ON OUT THERE, THANK YOU. >> Martha: OUR PANEL, HAROLD FORD JUNIOR, ROBERT WOLF, ALSO JOINING US TONIGHT, IT'S INTERESTING DID TO LOOK AHEAD TO FORMER PRESIDENT OBAMA DENIED. ALWAYS A GOT HIS START IN POLITICS IN CHICAGO AT THE LOCAL LEVEL, COMMUNITY ORGANIZER. THIS IS A BIG NIGHT FOR HIM, HE IS A BRUCE MOUAT STRIKES ME THAT GOD THINGS ROLLING WHEN HE OKAYED THE CLUNY EDITORIAL IN IS A PAPER THAT MAY BE GOT JOE BIDEN TO GO. >> JOE BIDEN LAST NIGHT, PROBABLY ONE OF THE LAST BIG MOMENT, HE -- BARACK OBAMA HAS BEEN AN OFFICE FOR QUITE SOME TIME AND HE IS STILL VERY INFLUENTIAL INTO THIS PARTY. HE IS ALSO A TALENTED A SPEAKER, ONE OF THE REASONS HE WAS A PRESIDENT. EXPECTING TO SEE THAT GIFT TONIGHT. >> AT ROBERT GRAY TO HAVE YOU ON BOARD. WE'RE TOLD OF THE OBAMA'S ARE IN THE UNITED CENTRE AND THERE IS A LOT OF EXCITEMENT. THIS PARTY IS IT INTRODUCING THIS NEW TICKET, AND IT IS A CHALLENGE TO TOUCH THE POSITIVE WAY TO BE HOPING FOR CHANGE LIKE OBAMA WAS INTO THOUSAND EIGHT IN HIS STATEMENTS. >> HAVING DINNER LAST WEEK WITH THE FORMER PRESIDENT, OBAMA AND MICHELLE, I KNOW THEY CAN'T WAIT TO BE HERE TONIGHT AND HELP KAMALA HARRIS, THE VICE PRESIDENT AND MIKE WALTZED TAKE THAT TORCH FROM PRESIDENT BIDEN, AND FORMER PRESIDENT TRUMP. INCREDIBLE ELECTRICITY IN THE AIR TONIGHT, THINK IT WILL BE AN ICONIC A SPEECH FOR THE PRESIDENT AND THINK YOU WILL DELIVER TO THE CASE ON WHY FORMER PRESIDENT TRUMP AND VICE PRESIDENT KAMALA HARRIS SHOULD BE THE NEXT ONE IN THE -- WHITE HOUSE. >> IT STRIKES ME THAT PRESIDENT OBAMA PAUSED OVER, WANTED HILLARY CLINTON TO BE THE CANDIDATE, THERE WAS A LOT OF ORCHESTRATION BEHIND THE SCENES HELPING TO MOVE JOE BIDEN OUT. THIS IS AS MOMENT, HE GETS TO COME OUT AND SAY I STILL HAVE A LOT OF INFLUENCE ON WHAT HAPPENS HERE IN MY PARTY. >> IT IS AGREED TO BE WITH HIS NUMBER 1 TEAM, TWO THINGS, THIS IS A SECOND MOST IMPORTANT NIGHT FOR THE DEMOCRATS IN THIS FOUR DAY PERIOD AS A DEMOCRATS MAKE THE CHANGE AND CHANGE AND SWITCH TO KAMALA HARRIS. BARACK OBAMA IS THE MOST KNOWN A DEMOCRAT IN THE WORLD. MICHELLE OBAMA MAY BE RIGHT BEHIND HIM, SOMEBODY MIGHT ARGUE RIGHT IN FRONT OF HIM IN TERMS OF HER RECOGNIZABILITY. PRESIDENT OBAMA HAS THE TASK TONIGHT OF REALLY INTRODUCING KAMALA HARRIS TO A HUGE NUMBER OF AMERICANS, NOT FOLLOWED AS CLOSELY AS WE DO AND HE WILL DO GOOD JOB OUT OF. SECONDLY HE HAS TO LAY OUT FOR KAMALA HARRIS TO TALK ABOUT THE SUBSTANCE IN THIS CAMPAIGN, TO BE MORE SPECIFIC ABOUT HIS ECONOMIC POLICIES AND IDEAS TO MAKE THINGS MORE AFFORDABLE FOR EVERYDAY AMERICANS. AND THINK THE TWO OF THEM WILL FIND A WAY TO CONTRAST PRESIDENT TRUMP, VICE PRESIDENT HARRIS AND WHY THERE IS SO MUCH AT STAKE IN 2024. >> WHAT WE ARE WATCHING ON THE SCREEN HERE, A LOT OF PUSHING AND SHOVING OUTSIDE, WE HAVE SEEN POLICE MOVE IN, MIKE HAS BEEN OUT THERE, CROWD CONTROL. THE NUMBERS RIGHT NOW WE ARE TOLD AROUND 5000, 6000 PROTESTERS. AS YOU KNOW THESE THINGS GET OUT OF HAND QUICKLY. WE ARE MONITORING THAT, IS SORRY TO INTERRUPT. DANA, I HATE TO BREAK THIS TO YOU BUT THEY ARE 20 MINUTES BEHIND. [ Chuckling ] THIS IS ANGELA ALSO BROOKS WHO IS FROM MARYLAND, SHE'S TAKING CURRENTLY, THE SENATE CANDIDATE FOR THE DEMOCRATS THEY'RE GOING AGAINST LARRY HOGAN, A COMPETITIVE RACE IN MARYLAND. THEY ARE 20 MINUTES BEHIND. >> Martha: >> THAT IS FINE, I WILL BE HERE FOR AMERICA'S NEWS. [ Chuckling ] BUT NOBODY HERE IN THIS HALL IS A SAID THERE 20 MINUTES LATE. AND THINK THEY ALL SEEMED TO BE HAVING A GOOD TIME AND EXCITED TO SEE MICHELLE OBAMA AND BARACK OBAMA. I WISH JESSE WATTERS WAS HERE BECAUSE I WOULD LIKE TO COLLECT ALL MY MONEY FOR THE BEDS I MADE WITH HIM THAT MICHELLE OBAMA WOULD NOT BE THE NOMINEE. [ Laughter ] IF YOU ARE LISTENING YOU WILL HAVE TO PAY OUT. ONE THING I WOULD POINT OUT, CROSSING THE WIRE IS NOW AS WE LOOK AT WHAT IS HAPPENING ON THE SCREEN, U.S. OFFICIALS SAY THE GAUZE A DEAL IS ON THE EDGE OF COLLAPSE, THE DEALS ON THE BRINK OF COLLAPSING. -- GAZA -- WHICH IS QUITE UNFORTUNATE. NOT ENTIRELY UNEXPECTED BUT IT WAS SOMETHING OF COURSE EVERYBODY WANTED TO GET THE HOSTAGES, LIKE, GET SOME PEAS GOING. >> HAMAS CITED NO? >> HAMAS SAID NO. >> NOT THE FIRST TIME. >> AND I THINK IRAN IS SAID NO. >> A LOT OF THESE PROTESTS ALWAYS A DEAL WITH ANTI- ISRAEL PROTESTS, IT
