THIS IS A RUSH TRANSCRIPT. THIS COPY MAY NOT BE IN ITS FINAL FORM AND MAY BE UPDATED.


[14:00:24] BROOKE BALDWIN, CNN ANCHOR: And here we go. We're up live on this beautiful outdoor set here in Philadelphia. Great to be with you on this Tuesday. I'm Brooke Baldwin. Thanks for hanging with us.

And joining me on day number two here of the Democratic National Convention, it is the day that will be witness to a milestone, transcending parties, transcending politics and the event historians will mark is just a short time f m now. The delegates here, they will begin the process, the roll call, to officially nominate Hillary Rodham Clinton. She will become the first woman to be a major party's presidential nominee. Folks, this is a landmark 96 years in the making after the 19th Amendment granted women the right to vote.

It puts her husband in an unprecedented spotlight tonight. He will be the first president to endorse his wife for the White House. But the big question right now, will that moment, might that moment this evening be marred by Bernie Sanders' delegates in the Wells Fargo Arena. Listen, I was in there all night last night. You heard the chants, "Bernie, Bernie." You heard boos, pervasive. Today, Senator Sanders himself again pleaded for his supporters' cooperation.

(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)

SEN. BERNIE SANDERS (D), FORMER PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE: What we must do or forever look back in regret is defeat Donald Trump and elect Hillary Clinton.

In my view, it's easy - it's easy - it is easy to boo, but it is harder to look your kids in the face who would be living under a Donald Trump presidency.

(END VIDEO CLIP)

BALDWIN: All right, so you heard even more boos there again this morning.

Let's go to Manu Raju, our senior political reporter, who has some breaking news here on this very important roll call that starts in just a couple of hours from now.

Manu, talk to me about your reporting. What are you hearing?

MANU RAJU, CNN SENIOR POLITICAL REPORTER: Well, there's an effort underway now by the Sanders camp and the Clinton camp to showcase some unity amid the start of this pretty rowdy convention. And this all has to do with exactly when Hillary Clinton is nominated later today to become the Democratic presidential candidate.

This is how it's going to go down. They're state by state. At the beginning of this roll call vote, Hillary Clinton will be nominated formally by Virginia Governor Terry McAuliffe, and then three people will nominate Bernie Sanders to become the presidential nominee for this party. State by state, each state will have a roll call vote. But we know how the votes are going to go. The pledged delegates are going to vote for Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders and Hillary Clinton has won more pledged delegates. But by the time we get to Vermont, which, of course, is at the end of the alphabet, Vermont will pass and then they will have the several states that are after Vermont will vote, and then it will come back to Vermont. At that point we are told by the Sanders campaign and other officials they will ask for Hillary Clinton's nomination to be accepted unanimously by acclamation. So it's really just a symbolic move, but a gesture aimed at showing some unity in this very - in this party. I mean we saw among this really raw emotions yesterday.

Now on that point, some folks are very concerned about the way the Bernie Sanders supporters have been reacting, but not Vice President Joe Biden. I had a chance to ask him earlier today how he felt, if he had any concerns about the way Bernie Sanders supporters have been acting. Here's what he had to say.

(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)

JOE BIDEN (D), VICE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES: They're going to be fine. Look, they worked hard. We got to show a little class and let them be frustrated for a while. It's OK.

QUESTION: So, how long is a while, do you think, vice president?

UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: OK, John, you got it?

BIDEN: Hey, they're all going to end up voting for Hillary. Come on, man. You think any of these guys are going to walk in and vote for Trump? Raise your hand if you think any of the people who are protesting here or hollering are going to go vote for Trump.

(CROSS TALK)

QUESTION: Some say they will. Some say they will.

BIDEN: Oh, come on. Well, then - they - they didn't support what Bernie stands for.

(END VIDEO CLIP)

RAJU: So I can tell you, though, some are still concerned, more concerned than the vice president is about this, including the Bernie Sanders camp, which is worried about the optics and they want to show unity, which is one reason why they're having those discussions right now, which we'll see play out on the floor later this afternoon.

Brooke.

BALDWIN: Manu, thank you so much.

The Democratic National Convention is dedicated obviously this week to Hillary Clinton, but its first night belonged to another very high- profile Democratic woman. First Lady Michelle Obama silenced the jeers, blew away the convention crowds with her speech. She got personal. And, listen, it wasn't just about her family. It was about her views of the woman who once competed for the nomination against her very own husband.

[14:05:20] (BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)

MICHELLE OBAMA, FIRST LADY: When she didn't win the nomination eight years ago, she didn't get angry or disillusioned. She - Hillary did not - Hillary did not pack up and go home. Because as a true public servant, Hillary knows that this is so much bigger than her own desires and disappointments. So she proudly stepped up to serve our country once again as secretary of state, traveling the globe to keep our kids safe.

And, look, there were plenty of moments when Hillary could have decided that this work was too hard, that the price of public service was too high, that she was tired of being picked apart for how she looks, or how she talks, or even how she laughs. But here's the thing. What I admire most about Hillary is that she never buckles under pressure. She never takes the easy way out. And Hillary Clinton has never quit on anything in her life.

(END VIDEO CLIP)

BALDWIN: Let's have a conversation with Ana Marie Cox, senior political correspondent for MTV News, CNN political commentators Andre Bauer, a Trump supporter who used to serve as the lieutenant Governor of South Carolina, Marc Lamont Hill is with us here in Philadelphia, BET News host and professor at Morehouse College, and Maria Cardona, a Democratic strategist.

And, Maria, let me just begin with you. I mean I was in the arena all night long.

MARIA CARDONA, CNN POLITICAL COMMENTATOR: Yes.

BALDWIN: And when you first heard - we thought perhaps there would be some more boos and Bernie chants. But, I mean, it was a moment where everyone sort of stopped and just looked up.

CARDONA: Yes. Yes, absolutely. More so than that, Brooke, I was on the floor and people were enraptured with her. Every single -

BALDWIN: Michelle Obama.

CARDONA: Yes.

BALDWIN: Yes.

CARDONA: With Michelle Obama. Every single word that came out of her mouth, people were just - it was sinking into everybody's consciousness. There wasn't a dry eye in the room and I -

BALDWIN: But was it sinking into the consciousness of the true die- hard Bernie supporters?

CARDONA: Well, I - yes. I mean I think everybody - because there were no boos, right? There were no - there were no chants while she was speaking, which I think speaks volumes about what I think ultimately is going to be a unified party. Her message was a message of unification. Her message was one that resonated with every American, not just in the arena, but every viewer, every American out there.

As a mother of two Latina children, that - that speech was giving me goosebumps.

MARC LAMONT HILL, CNN POLITICAL COMMENTATOR: Wow.

CARDONA: But it wasn't because I'm a Latina. I think African- Americans, every woman -

BALDWIN: People felt it. You felt it. Politics is about emotions.

CARDONA: Women of - women of color. Women of all communities. White women everywhere were, I think, feeling the kind of powerful message that she was sending that this is about America's children and what that future means.

ANA MARIE COX, SENIOR POLITICAL CORRESPONDENT, MTV NEWS: I think - and it's funny because I think, you know, the Trump campaign has made a lot of the - the Trump children and how polished -

CARDONA: Yes.

COX: And wonderful they are. And I feel like this - this - the Democrats are saying, OK, you want to talk about kids? Let's talk about all of our children.

CARDONA: Exactly.

COX: Let's not talk about how well the Trump kids turned out because, fine, they turned out OK.

CARDONA: Right.

COX: Let's turn about - let's talk about race, our children in -

BALDWIN: More than OK. I'm hearing you, Andre.

: (INAUDIBLE).

COX: Well, they - whatever. They turned out - they turned out great. I'm happy to say that they seem like -

BALDWIN: Yes.

COX: Basically OK people. The boys shoot animals, but, you know, but she made it a bigger argument. She made it an argument about the children of our - of our whole country.

CARDONA: Country.

COX: Black, white, brown. I personally loved her talking about the black boy in the Oval Office. You know, her black children -

CARDONA: Yes.

COX: In a home built by slaves.

BALDWIN: Yes.

COX: I mean, again, not a dry eye in the house.

CARDONA: Yes. Yes.

HILL: It was very -

COX: It was amazing.

BALDWIN: Hold on. I'm just looking at the lone Trump supporter on the panel because I want to - I believe in hearing from everyone here, Andre.

COX: Right.

BALDWIN: I mean are you - it was sort of one of those nights. Were you wishing, gosh, I wish we had Michelle Obama?

ANDRE BAUER, CNN POLITICAL COMMENTATOR: No.

BALDWIN: Was it powerful for you?

CARDONA: Well - of course, come on, Andre, these are - the first lady -

BAUER: Well, no disrespect to her. She is a well-liked first lady.

BALDWIN: I know where he's going to go with that. Go.

BAUER: And what, you know -

BALDWIN: (INAUDIBLE).

BAUER: Nobody's fighting with the first lady. They all respect her. They respect the position she holds. And even a Republican, I think most Republicans respect who she is.

COX: Yes.

BAUER: She carries herself with grace.

I think part of the message, it's easy to praise her. Look, but, I - and she didn't write the speech and I'm not beating up the person who wrote the speech, but it's the thought (ph) in government. She talked about, we need someone who's going to look after our children for the next four to eight years. My impression is the Donald Trump impression on this one, that we need somebody to look after our children for the rest of their lives, to instill values for them for where they go forward. Government is not there to take care of your every want and need. Get out there and do it on your own. We want to help you. We want to give you the skills, the tools. We will (ph) give you a good education, but we're not here just for four to eight years. We want to position you for the rest of your life.

[14:10:18] BALDWIN: OK. On Michelle Obama, here's what I was wondering, just being in the hall and feeling it, you know, do you think - I'm wondering when Hillary Clinton steps on that stage on Thursday, will she get that kind of rousing applause that Michelle Obama got?

HILL: That's the talent (ph).

BALDWIN: I mean it's almost as like Michelle Obama is a better surrogate for Hillary Clinton than Hillary Clinton.

HILL: And so is - so is Mr. Obama and so is Mr. Clinton. And I think that's one of the challenges, getting Hillary Clinton to resonate, getting people to feel from her what they feel from the surrogates and the people who are so passionate for her.

One of the things that Michelle Obama did yesterday, and Cory Booker did it too -

BALDWIN: Yes.

HILL: Is they took a page out of the Republican playbook. They said, we're not going to allow you guys to dictate who and what is American. We're going to say, we're going to be more patriotic than you all. We're going to talk about American exceptionalism. We're going to talk about how extraordinary the American empire is. They did that.

BALDWIN: It was a very different picture that was painted.

HILL: A very different picture. So that's going to really appeal to independent folks. It's going to appeal to black folk for the reasons you stated. I mean it's a very interesting move that they made yesterday. The question is, can Hillary Clinton carry that out on Thursday. And I'm worried, not that she won't have a powerful message - and she'll be well received, it's her convention. But I worry that she won't get this kind of organic love that the others got.

BALDWIN: What do -

COX: I just want to point out that this is a - this is a cycle where we have the Democratic ticket is more patriotic and more religious -

CARDONA: Yes.

COX: Than the Republican one.

BAUER: Well, I don't know. I didn't even see one flag in the whole building. CARDONA: That's true. True.

COX: Oh. Well, yes, but we heard - I heard from the stage love -

BAUER: Yes, there wasn't one flag in the entire building.

COX: Let's talk about what they said - let's talk about what they said because, you know what, there were plenty of flags on stage at the RNC, but I didn't hear people talk about how - though -

BAUER: But why would she not have a flag? An American flag?

COX: I didn't hear people talk about the greatness of our country.

HILL: There were flags in the building, let's be clear. There were - I saw flags in the building.

COX: What I heard from that stage were people praising -

CARDONA: You know what I thought - you know what I thought Michelle Obama did brilliantly?

BALDWIN: What?

CARDONA: It was a methodical takedown of the proposals and the values, if you can call them that -

HILL: Yes.

COX: Yes.

CARDONA: And the principles that Donald Trump has been espousing for a year. It was a methodical takedown about how divisive and corrosive they are without mentioning of his name once.

BALDWIN: Yes. I think I heard somebody say this morning -

CARDONA: And using our children -

BALDWIN: I think it was my friend Gail King over at CBS put it perfectly, something like it was like a surgeon with a precision (INAUDIBLE) - (INAUDIBLE) bloody, just like -

CARDONA: Oh, it was a sting of (INAUDIBLE) -

HILL: Yes.

CARDONA: Absolutely.

HILL: It was magical. It was magical.

CARDONA: And - and, again, that's why it resonated with so many people because what Donald Trump and the Republicans don't understand, Andre, is that words matter.

COX: Yes. CARDONA: What he has said for over a year in dividing our country -

BALDWIN: But - but on words matter - and forgive me for jumping in.

BAUER: You're right, they do matter.

BALDWIN: Let me just hit pause on Trump.

COX: Correct.

BALDWIN: What about Biden? I mean what about the Bernie factor and -

HILL: I found that troublesome a bit.

BALDWIN: And Biden saying, it's OK for the Bernie supporters to be frustrated.

HILL: Vice President Biden said two things, right? One was, let them vent, let them have their moment. We said the same thing about Hillary supporters eight years ago.

CARDONA: Yes.

HILL: I'm cool with that. But he also said, is there any chance they're going to vote for Trump? Sort of almost dismissively to me.

COX: Yes.

HILL: The truth is, maybe they won't vote for Trump, although some will.

CARDONA: Yes.

HILL: Most likely 99.9 won't, but they may stay home.

CARDONA: Right.

HILL: They may vote green. I'm voting green.

CARDONA: Yes.

BALDWIN: Yes.

HILL: You know, they may make a different choice. And I think it looks dismissive and frankly condescend -

COX: Yes.

HILL: To suggest, well, they don't have a choice. They're going to come with us. I think that's not what you do when you want to appeal to people who don't feel well served in this election cycle, especially after last week.

CARDONA: Yes.

BALDWIN: Yes. Yes. Thank you so much.

So much more to talk about. And also on Trump this week, in addition to Vice President Biden, and also Sarah Silverman. How about that line last night?

CARDONA: That was amazing.

BALDWIN: Zing. She was up on the stage. She was with Senator Al Franken, essentially calling out the Bernie or bust protesters there on the floor. Five of them actually will join me live. Will we hear Bernie chants when Hillary Clinton takes to the stage Thursday? Let's ask them.

Also ahead, Bill Clinton giving what could be his most important speech. Not necessarily as the president, but as the spouse of a woman who would like to become president. Might be ad lib? Will he stick to script? And what happens if there are chants?

And the oldest and the youngest delegates of the convention join me live. Ninety-three years young there and 17, she'll be 18 when she gets to vote. We'll just talk about a special moment last night on stage, what happened behind the scenes.

I'm Brooke Baldwin. We're in Philly. CNN's special live coverage continues right after this.

(COMMERCIAL BREAK)

[14:18:11] BALDWIN: All right, let's take a sneak peek inside of the Wells Fargo Arena. And you see the back of her head. I have been told that's Meryl Streep. She's getting a little bit of a walk through, lay of the land as she is speaking tonight at the DNC, night number two.

We are here in Philadelphia. The roll call - this is really the big story line for part of the day today. The roll call vote that would essentially seal the deal. That is set to begin next hour.

The numbers are crunched. It is not enough to push Senator Bernie Sanders to the top as the nominee and now reps from the Sanders and Clinton campaigns are in discussions about how this historic nomination moment will unfold. But, you know, these so-called Bernie or bust delegates, listen, they're holding fast. This is emotional for a lot of them. As Senator Sanders says, if anyone should be upset, though he said this last night, it is not the nominee, it's him.

(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)

SEN. BERNIE SANDERS (D), FORMER PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE: I understand that many people here in this convention hall and around the country are disappointed about the final results of the nominating process. I think it's fair to say that no one is more disappointed than I am.

(END VIDEO CLIP)

BALDWIN: All right, so we wanted to hear from them, from the Bernie supporters, the Bernie Sanders delegates. I have Gregory Schaffer here with me from Pittsburgh, Kate Miller from Hamburg, New York, Sanjay Patel from Satellite Beach, Florida, Tonya Bah from Philadelphia and Brian Nowak from Buffalo, New York.

So, welcome. Thanks for rolling by the set. I appreciate it.

Just a quick show of hands as we're looking ahead to the roll call. How many of you are saying "yes" to Bernie. All right, all five of you. Did you see what vice President Joe Biden said earlier? Let me just quote him in part. He was walking the DNC floor today and he saw, you know, and felt that he knows about the - the Bernie love here. He said, "we have to show a little class and let them," you all, "be frustrated for a while. It's OK." Is frustration the right word? Is it emotional?

[14:20:13] SANJAY PATEL, SANDERS DELEGATE FROM SATELLITE BEACH, FLORIDA: It is emotional. I think, you know, we're grieving. We had a candidate that all of us had poured countless hours, our souls into, to getting this man elected. And for him to not get that nomination in the way that that happened, I think there is some disappointment in that it is emotional. We've grieving. I love Bernie Sanders. I love that man. I can honestly tell you that. And -

BALDWIN: You said it's emotional for you. Why? Explain.

GREGORY SCHAFFER, SANDERS DELEGATE FROM PITTSBURGH: Well, we've been riding with Bernie for a year and we really believe in it. It's not about Bernie. It's about the issues. We're passionate about the issues. It's not about bipartisan. It's not about anti-Hillary. And we're passionate about these issues. We want them expressed and we want to hold whoever is the presidential nominee accountable to those issues.

BALDWIN: It's interesting you mention the word "grieving."

Tonya, you know, in the whole sort of spectrum, in the end there is this sense of acceptance, right? The stages of grief. Shouldn't you be at acceptance by now?

TONYA BAH, SANDERS DELEGATE FROM PHILADELPHIA: Well, here's the thing. I feel as though we don't actually have the privilege of not feeling this way. We have to absolutely feel this way, but at the same time this is about issues. Greg was absolutely correct. And it is because of Bernie Sanders that the platform is as strong as it is and I'm grateful for the process that this has taken to get where we are.

And is there a part of me that would have absolutely celebrated Bernie Sanders as the Democratic nominee? Absolutely. And I understand that there is some painful experiences that we're go to go under. But, again, privilege. There is - we do not have the privilege of not supporting the situation that we're in right now.

BALDWIN: I want to ask you about the support and sort of pivoting. And I'm sure you all heard Sara Silverman. I was in there as well when she delivered this line. Roll it.

(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)

AL FRANKEN: What - listen to that. Listen to that.

SARAH SILVERMAN: Unity, unity, unity.

FRANKEN: Hillary, Hillary.

SILVERMAN: The Bernie - can I just say to the Bernie or bust people, you're being ridiculous.

(END VIDEO CLIP)

BALDWIN: Kate, how do you respond to that? You're being ridiculous.

KATE MILLER, SANDERS DELEGATE FROM HAMBURG, NEW YORK: I think it's understandable that to the outside it may look ridiculous to some people, but I think it's a mistake. I think it's important to keep in mind that what we're doing here is larger than Bernie Sanders. It's larger than Hillary Clinton. It's a political revolution to try and fix our democracy, to bring our country up to the ideals that it should be standing for. We think that -

BALDWIN: But he - and I'm just - I'm just giving to the side of -

MILLER: Go ahead.

BALDWIN: You know, I've talked to folks in all camps and, Brian, I mean, he - he hung in there and fought the good fight through California. Shouldn't it be time to sort of, yes, be part of this revolution and hope Hillary Clinton takes that in with open arms, but, no, she's the person. It's Bernie Sanders who's likely going to symbolically say she gets the nomination today. Shouldn't you move and support that?

BRIAN NOWAK, SANDERS DELEGATE FROM BUFFALO, NEW YORK: Are you talking about Sanders supporters overall or me as an individual?

BALDWIN: You as an individual.

NOWAK: Me as an individual? I want to see what they have to say through the rest of the convention because like Greg said, this isn't about Bernie. It's much larger than that. We have a situation where people are essentially denied voting rights. We have the news media that's complicit in that. We have a campaign finance system and all sorts of behind the scenes trickery that leads to a situation where people like me and people like most of us on this panel, all of us on this panel, don't have a voice on a regular basis. When the cameras get turned off here at CNN, the feelings that people have behind the cameras are much different than they were put - that they put on television.

BALDWIN: Well, that's precisely why I wanted to invite five of you all on the show live to explain how you feel. The question is then, looking ahead to Thursday and Hillary Clinton. I mean she will be on that stage. She will be the nominee. Will you boo her?

MILLER: No.

BALDWIN: No.

MILLER: No.

BALDWIN: Boo?

BAH: No.

BALDWIN: No booing?

PATEL: No.

BALDWIN: No booing.

MILLER: Booing people is not appropriate.

BALDWIN: No chanting "Bernie"?

MILLER: You can boo ideas, but not people. We will, however, be chanting "Bernie" probably.

SCHAFFER: I want to respond to what Sarah Silverman said, because that really hurt. I think that, you know, fighting for democracy, fighting for clean water, fighting for, you know, not bombing foreign countries, that's not ridiculous, Sarah Silverman. And that's what I heard when you said that. So -

NOWAK: No, that's a good point because a little while back Barack Obama said if the Republicans were in power, they would have us at war in seven countries. Now let's think about the countries where we're conducting drone raids and foreign intervention. We've got Iraq, Afghanistan, Pakistan, Somalia, Yemen, Libya, that seventh one isn't coming to mind. We're already in seven countries. The debate's over whether to the degree we're doing the wrong and immoral things that we're doing. Not whether or not we're doing them.

[14:25:23] So the big part of the Sanders campaign is to get people more active in the political process and to widen the acceptable narrative because, you know, CNN and these other national media outlets don't allow that to happen because their primary objective is to -

BALDWIN: I have no primary objective and I'm selling no merchandise, so I do take offense to that.

NOWAK: No, not you as an individual, but -

BALDWIN: I do. I do. And I'm sitting here because it matters to me to hear from all of you, to hear your perspective.

NOWAK: (INAUDIBLE).

BALDWIN: And I understand it's on issues.

NOWAK: Right. BALDWIN: I understand you're frustrated on issues. You want Bernie Sanders to be it.

NOWAK: But the DNC e-mails show that at least MSNBC or NBC was taking marching orders from the Clinton campaign directly. And (INAUDIBLE) -

BALDWIN: But despite the e-mails - and I understand. I understand. I'm not - I'm not trying to pick a fight with you.

NOWAK: Right.

BALDWIN: I understand that Bernie Sanders has been waving the flag all along saying, there is favoritism. And you see these e-mails and you start to -

NOWAK: But there's (INAUDIBLE) -

BALDWIN: I understand. But at the end of the day, how can you take all of what you feel and your passion and turn it into action once not Bernie but Hillary Clinton becomes the nominee? That's my question.

NOWAK: We can turn that into action about being more honest about what's happening in this country.

MILLER: Yes.

BALDWIN: OK.

BAH: We can also be responsible.

BALDWIN: Yes.

BAH: We're - this is what this revolution was about. It is about us holding elected officials, religious leaders accountable for -

BALDWIN: As they should be.

BAH: As they should be. And the last time I checked, this is not a volunteer situation. They are paid. They work for me. But we've forgotten that some - some way along the route, we've forgotten who they work for. And I think that the Sanders revolution - and that's exactly what it is, and it continues.

BALDWIN: Uh-huh.

MILLER: Yes.

BAH: Has helped us to redefine how we will look at everything from the school - the home and school voting - the SRC, School Reform Commission in Philadelphia. Everything from the mayor. When somebody runs on something, we need to investigate, is that an actual fact? Can that actually happen?

BALDWIN: He shook it up. He shook it up. And that was a - that was a good thing. Who are you voting for, may I ask, live on - BAH: I am voting for the Democratic nominee, and her name is Hillary Clinton. And I am part of the Bernie Sanders revolution to make sure that not only will our president be accountable, but anybody that decides to be paid out of my tax dollars will actually do what they're saying they do or verbal warning or a written warning and you're terminated.

BALDWIN: Tonya -

BAH: And when I say terminated, I mean fired.

BALDWIN: Tanya, Kate, Greg, Brian, Sanjay, I appreciate it.

NOWAK: OK, thanks.

BALDWIN: I really, really do. Thank you so much for coming by.

MILLER: Thank you.

BALDWIN: It's important to hear all of your voices here.

SHAFFER: Thank you.

BALDWIN: Next here on CNN, an historic moment tonight as Bill Clinton steps on the stage. He will be making his argument for his wife on the convention floor. Keep in mind, he has appeared at the last ten Democratic conventions. We'll look at the highs, the lows of previous speeches, what to expect this evening, next here from Philadelphia.

(COMMERCIAL BREAK)
