hey, milwaukee, i'm really sorry. hey, this is my show, and i take full responsibility for everything we put on the ng w- except this. this was the fault of one of my writers who-- and this is true-- is from wisconsin. he's probably jellos of milwaukee. he's from madison. point is, this was meant with love. and there's so much to love about milwaukee-- the obvious things, like beer. and cheese. and the combination of beer and cheese that is srved as a soup with popcorn on top. there's also so much to do in the city, once you are simultaneously drunk and full. you can visit the milwaukee public museum, the harley-davidson museum, or the milwaukee art museum which is shaped like a sailboat. or it might be a bird. or a giant fish skeleton. whatever-- it's art. it's open to interpretation. then, of course, there's the sports. the bucks, who have the reigning n.b.a. m.v.p. and the brewers, who saw the piece on this show and tweeted at me, "how about you join us for a real tailgate when we can host fans again?" that's how n

more in wisconsin were holding the convention in milwaukee. unfortunately for milwaukee, which was looking forward to millions of dollars in economic benefits as a result of this, is basically not seeing the convention at all. it is just a few wisconsin officials speaking. everyone else is kind of speaking from their respective home bases. speakingthe clintons from new york, bernie sanders speaking from vermont, joe biden and kamala harris will be speaking from delaware. these speeches are going to be taped. michelle obama for instance, her speech is taped. bill clinton's speech will be taped, bernie sanders had a taped, but will deliver it live and have a taped in case there is technical difficulties. that is going to present a challenge because it is not as exciting. tople will obviously be able tell the difference between a recorded speech and live speech. that is one of the challenges the democrats have. host: usually when we come to these types of events themes come out that each candidate wants to present over the course of four nights.

this is where milwaukee county comes into play. across the state, voter turnout in 2016 from 2012 dropped by 3%. in milwaukee county, though, the most democratic county, the most diverse county, it dropped by 10%. even if it had been at 2012 levels, hillary clinton would have won the race here. i want to let you listen to part of our canesationversations wit 23-year-old milwaukee resident. she didn't vote in 2016, and take a listen to angela lang, who started a grassroots organization here in town to mack sure what happened in 2016 doesn't happen again. take a listen. >> on election night, i just remember feeling this immense sense of despair, thinking i could have done something about this. we heard joe biden last night, let's be the light. let's bring the light. let's bring a difference to our communities. let's use our vote and our voice for change this year. >> i think there's a lot more energy, a lot more buzz now than there was this time four years ago. i was actually really concerned because it was a lot quieter four years a

in a statement, the local basketball team, the milwaukee bucks, announced a surprise boycott of their play—off game in response to the shooting of jacob blake. it's possible the entire season could now be injeopardy. despite the overwhelming plea for change, there has been no action. so, our focus today cannot be on basketball. when we take the court and represent milwaukee and wisconsin, we are expected to play at a high level, with maximum effort to hold each other accountable. we hold ourselves to that standard, and, in this moment, we are demanding the same from lawmakers and law enforcement. meanwhile, hundreds of national guard officers have now been sent to kenosha, as the latest protests over police across the country. david willis, bbc news, los angeles. as we heard in that report, sportsmen and women across the united states have withdrawn from a series of sporting events after the basketball team the milwaukee bucks — who are from wisconsin — decided to boycott their game against the orlando magic. it drew support from former president barack obama, who tweeted that h

the dates back by one month we could still hold a physical convention were delegates could come to milwaukee and to produce a traditional convention. pretty soon after that as a lockdown continued it was clear that wasn't going to happen. so we started to plan for a convention that is fairly unconventional compared to years past, pretty early. it took a while to figure out what it would be and how we handle so all americans feel they can participate. because the benefit, there are a lot of downsides now more americans can participate you don't need credentials to participate. >>host: clearly these are unchartered waters know parties ever gone through something like that. >> no. never. that we have been looking at a lot of other programming over the past months where people cannot typically travel to do interviews or the global citizens concert or the nfl draft graduation ceremonies. we been looking at how people have been producing these and studying the content in a program like this because basically it's a tv show how do we pull people in and communicate with people wherever they are on t
