CNNW New Day Sunday July 24, 2016

It could threaten the truce between sanders and clinton. Were going to get a lot of the bernie voters, because they didnt treat bernie right. Good morning, everybody. In just a few moments, russian athletes will find out if they are going to the rio Olympic Games this year. Russia has been plagued by a doping scandal with 67 russian track and field athletes already banned from competing in rio. Will that ban be extended to the entire russian delegation. Jill, the International Olympic committee is going to announce its decision soon, if all the russian athletes will be banned. How will this affect the games at large . Reporter it would be a huge blow to russia, a huge blow to vladimir putin. And i can tell you that the entire city, the entire country here in russia is bracing for this crucial decision by the ioc whether or not the entire team will not be able to go. Well have more this hour. Jill, thanks so much. We will look forward to that announcement from the ioc. We expect it to come in just moments. Well get back to jill there as soon as we get it. Meanwhile, it is the eve of the Democratic National convention, and the party could have a sudden unity crisis on its hands. Thousands of emails surfaced from dnc staffers raising questions about how impartial the group was during the primaries specifically. Now the head of the dnc, Debbie Wasserman schultz will no longer have a speaking role at the convention this week. Furious at Wasserman Schultz for what they believe was favoritism to clinton during the campaign. Joe johns is following this story for us. Is Debbie Wasserman schultz, are we seeing her being the one held accountable to some degree . Reporter i think you can say that. I mean, this is not the way they wanted to get this started. The Party Continues to make concessions to the Bernie Sanders camp hoping to keep the peace. The Democratic Rules Committee just agreed on what sounds like a task force to reduce the number of super delegates. Still, there are calls for this accountability and sources in the Party Leadership widely acknowledge how awkward the situation is right now thanks to wikileaks. The decision not to have Wasserman Schultz speak is more than just the chair of the party sacrificing herself for the good of the process. She was criticized for showing favoritism for Hillary Clinton through the primaries. In an email from may, Debbie Wasserman schultz appears very upset with public statements by Sanders Campaign manager jeff weaver criticizing the Nevada Democratic party. She writes, damn liar, particularly scum my that he barely acknowledges the violent and threatening behavior that occurred. Quote, he is an ass. Very Strong Language there, christy. All righty. So i guess well wait and see what happens with all of this. Joe johns, appreciate it so much. Thank you. Joining me now to discuss, former chairman of the Democratic Party there in washington, d. C. He is a Hillary Clinton supporter. And we have a supporter for Bernie Sanders during the primary. Scott, i want to start with you. Limited Wasserman Schultz to gaveling in, gaveling out, no major speaking role here. Its said to be an effort to keep the peace s. That from your perspective going to keep the peace . It certainly is a good start. This certainly isnt the way the Democratic Party wanted to start its convention. We certainly knew there were going to be issues between hillary and Bernie Sanders supporters. Even though Bernie Sanders has endorsed Hillary Clinton, hillary is going to be the nominee along with tim kaine. There are bigger tasks to be addressed in defeating donald trump. The lack of her having a significant speaking role is an important concession. At the same time, what happens behind the scenes and what shes saying to Bernie Sanders supporters and what these sanders supporters and the millry supporters are saying to each other to put this behind them and fall in line and take on the republicans is even more important than these emails. Its difficult to fall in line when you read emails like this. This is from may 5th from one dnc employee to three others there at the dnc. It might make, i think thats what theyre trying to say here, no difference, but for kentucky and West Virginia, can we get someone to ask his belief, does he believe in a god. He had skated in saying that he has a jewish heritage. I think i read that he is an athei atheist. My Southern Baptist peeps would draw a big difference between a jew and an atheist. You had said the dncs thumb was on the scale for Hillary Clinton. Will simply keeping the chairwoman from having a speaking role keep the peace . Thats a great question. I mean, this isnt the only thing they have done. This reveals a small slice of how the dnc operates. Thats why the Sanders Campaign is trying to use all the leverage it has. They won 47 of the vote. We are half the party. And i think that were trying to use the leverage right now to reform the party so that it can be more inclusive, clean up this culture so we dont have this type of language being used. That person should be fired. Forget about Debbie Wasserman schultz. Shes going to be ousted in january anyways. Its these people that are growing the party, they brought in new people and they gave a voice to a lot of the people in the party who felt disaffected like myself. Let me ask you before i go back to scott here. You said that Wasserman Schultz will be ousted in jan anyway. But to send a signal for sake of symbolism, should she step down before then . I think that she should use her role. I mean thats not my job. I think there are a lot of other asks we could make that are probably more important. Debbie Wasserman Schultz, should first issue apology. Clean up the culture. They should reform things like super delegates. The hillary delegation yesterday at the rules committee voted against reforming super delegates and getting rid of them. They want to create a commission. Through this commission, they should create real reforms like opening up the primaries, changing the way we fund our candidates and the Democratic Party. All this stuff is rooted in the culture of the Democratic Party which has lost its way. Tim kaine, as much as he has achieved in his history and his experience in washington, in Public Service, he was part of that culture. He is the person who changed the model from being the 50state strategy to the funding culture of the dnc being all about raising money. They dont find candidates who are Great Community leaders, who have great bases. They want candidates that can raise 250,000 in six week sdwls were going to continue this conversation. Stay with us.

[ laughs ] well, guess what, just hours before this Democratic National convention is set to kickoff, theres a compromise now thats been reached between supporters of Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders. A unity compromise would give elected leaders the ability to cast their Convention Vote for whomever they choose, but the rest of the states delegates would be bound to the primary and caucus results. Lets talk about this with former chairman of the washington, d. C. Democratic party along with dnc Platform Committee member and Bernie Sanders supporter. Thank you both for sticking around with us. Do you believe that the super delegate decision is going to be enough for sanders supporters . Thats a good question. I think that Bernie Sanders who has won pretty much half the Party Support did not get enough out of what i have to be honest here. I think that theres so much that could have been done, so much negotiating. And from the way that the speakers relayed out, very few people have been Bernie Sanders speakers. The dais is stacked with Hillary Clinton supporters. Quite frankly, i think we should just eliminate super delegates. Elected officials are elected officials. They dont need to be propped up. One super delegate represents over 10 thoir,000 votes. One super delegate should not be weighted that way. Theyre mainly male and theyre mainly white. Thats exactly what they look like, too. It doesnt reflect the Democratic Party itself. Those are being held on both go ahead and yeah, please. The Bernie Sanders supporters, thats fine. The Democratic Party has a big tent and has welcomed them in. But 48 simply isnt the majority. You want to change rules. You want a party that is more progressive, then you win. He didnt get enough vote it would have been nice. You guys stacked it against it. The party has acknowledged that sanders has brought in these people, but you dont get to dictate the rules let me finish. [ multiple speakers ] go ahead, scott. You didnt get the majority. And thats how the Democratic Party and the political process in this country works. Now, we have acknowledged the supporters. We have compromised with the unity peace. Weve even allowed other progressive platforms planks in the platform. Thats what you get when you come up short. But if you want to change the rules, if you want to lead the party, then you win. And Bernie Sanders did not win. Hillary clinton did win. Fall in line and lets go beat donald trump. Okay, so scott, let me ask you this. I need to respond to this. This is exactly the problem. When you treat Bernie Sanders supporters like theyre outsiders were treating you like youre snydeinsiders. Let me finish. You brought us to the table because we won half the party. Less than half the party. He got massive reforms in the party after the contested convention. When ted kennedy was challenging our sitting president and went in and had a contested convention, he had counter reforms to the party. Bernie sanders has 46 of the vote but you dont have the majority. Win the nomination and you get what you want. But thats not how this works. Win the nomination and you get what you want. Let me jump in here. We understand that. So scott, let me ask you, because you you say he didnt she didnt get the majority. Lets face it, sanders has got a huge following. He has endorsed hillary already. The question is, do you have any concern that there might be some version of, sai, a ted cruz speech tomorrow night based on some of the things that shes bringing up and this wiki leaks. Well, i certainly hope not. Heres the thing, Bernie Sanders has endorsed Hillary Clinton. The Hillary Clinton people have done outreach. Theyve met at the table, theyve been on the rules committee and had these Ongoing Party discussions. We appreciate their activism and all the value that they brought to the table. So, no, i dont think hes going to be a bad democrat. Hes going to be a good democrat, so long as the discussions continue to go forward. Youre going to continue to see some managed negotiated concessions or discussions between both side. In the end, the Bernie Sanders really have nowhere else to go but to stay within this party. Theyre not going to trump. Theyre not going to the green party or the libertarian party. We dont know where theyre going. Thats not true. Unlike the republicans. You can say what you want to say. The bottom line is, were all great democrats. While we may be contesting some issues on an interparty basis, the bottom line is, weve got to defeat trump. The sanders supporters know that. And Bernie Sanders knows that as well. Look for him to endorse. Look for more concessions in regard to rules. But were going to win in november. And everyone under the democratic tent knows that. With all of that said, we know there are protests being planned by sanders supporters. Do you think it is important for sanders to come out and try to thwart that or talk to those people to try to bring unity to this part going into this dnc . Theres all different types of sanders supporters. He represented several movements. A lot of these movements feel like they havent been heard. I encourage the Clinton Campaign and tim kaine to listen to these people because theyre not going to fall in line. This is a year where our party has basically said, weve had enough. It is time that we change the way that we function. Its really important for the Clinton Campaign to reach out to these people, hear what theyre saying, listen to what theyre saying, feel what theyre saying. Not just values, symbolism. Putting something on stage that represents their values. The choice of tim kaine was not an indication. What happened in the rules committee yesterday was not an indication. They have a lot of work to do because we dont just fall in line anymore. Thats not our country. The party is 70 more progressive and the party reflects that as well already. A fiery debate here. If you were not awake, im sure you are now watching this. We appreciate both of you. Thank you for having me. Listen, see, no hard feelings, right . See you on the floor.
