they got off amtrak. if you don't have amtrak to glacier, he will have a problem. we are in a pandemic. we don't see what just the chairman is talking about. incidents set course where service is curtailed and it takes you 15 years to get it reestablished. we don't want to see that. i am anxious to hear what we will do. if you ask me, i would be increasing service to all national parks. i think it is such a great concept. if you look at european models, that is what they are doing, taking people to the great outdoors and all sorts of ways americans would appreciate. of the workforce in washington state are facing furloughs. we will lose billions if we don't get amtrak into one of our bills. it is vital for transportation increase to have them investment in national infrastructure. we need to do more. covidht of the impact of on economies, i am sure, mr. chairman, there are discussions at home about what projects will get put on hold if we do not move forward with transportation dollars. we need to invest heavily in rail, which will reduce congestion and freight bot

they just got off amtrak. if you don't have amtrak service, you are going to have a problem. we obviously are in a pandemic but we don't want to see just what the chair man is talking about. an incident that basically sets the course where the service is curtailed and then it takes 15 years to get reestablished. we don't want to see that so i'm anxious to hear what we are going to do. i would be increasing service to all of the national parks because i think it is such a great concept to get so many people if you look at the european models that is what they are doing taking people to the great outdoors and all sorts of ways and americans certainly would appreciate that. more than 30% of the workforce in washington state is already facing furloughs and thousands more employees would see their jobs threatened and local economies would lose billions if we don't get amtrak support to one of the bills. it's vital we get the aid afloat to have significantly increased the investment infrastructure. on the transportation all to ourselves, we need in my opinion to continue to invest

i arrived my favorite way, amtrak.unions. -- speaking of unions. , i am alsoives joined by tom conway, an old friend, united steelworkers that 1972 as acted back in senator. ballplayer, a husband, a dad. an ad for me,d making me famous. thank you to you and your family for the help. i am told there are a lot of ironworkers here. all right. steelworkers,s, they built this town. the beautiful bridges that made pittsburgh famous. a lot of people around here were hurt badly when steel factories closed. i come from a little town after we moved down in scranton when coal died to a town called claymont, delaware. 4000 ironworkers, steelworkers, and there is none there now. that is what i was raised with, watching people bust their neck, make a good salary. and all of a sudden that is all gone. a lot of folks out here have been heard when the steel factories closed. president trump said, look, i get why some people -- take a chance on me. i understand why some people did take a chance because he said that he was going to make

went to new jersey and you know how many miles you travel on amtrak, no i don't. we figure 117 here and the next number of days you travel to million 100,000 on amtrak. i think i hold a record other than a conductor. my point is we will end up moving high-speed rail in a way that we haven't done before and the reason i went home is the same reason you all try to and that is to be there in the evening when my kids went to bed in the morning, my son, and my daughter ashley, get them back to school in the morning on the way to the station and then as they got older it wasn't the case, but kiss them good night. i know dad, we've got to say three hail marys. it's one way that i've said this before and i apologize for the press that travel with me for repeating it, but usually i could get the 7:00 on the fast train. you get outside the beltway exit and i wonder literally sitting there looking out the window what were those parents talking about at that dining room table, what were they doing before they put their kids to bed. my guess is they talk about the same things

of course biden agrees, don't fall for the hole, homespun i'm from scranton and i rode amtrak nonsensehe's just a hologram for the real power base. his real power base, who is it? the donors. they had no use for people in flyover country's. unless they speak mandarin, may be. biden's puppet masters, they know that their candidate can't be trumps economic record, and they don't even pretend otherwise. if they know they can't compete with trumps record for african-americans or hispanics so instead they throw down their worn out racism card. they respond with the good people on both sides, the media poodles regurgitated all day in and day out with the pained expressions on their face. in essence, the democrats uplifting argument for biden comes down to this, hey lizard brain, check your white privilege and vote for joe. if you don't, you're going to be branded a racist. if you put a chump sign on your yard, you're going to be targeted. go to a chump rally, you might as well wear a white hood. these are insinuations that are beyond cynical. it's not just hardball politics, these are flat o

joe biden takes the amtrak for his biggest swing since returning to the campaign trail because for 36 years in the senate, riding the rails from wilmington to washington to get back to his kids, biden says he saw it a lot. >> i see the lights on in the homes where passing and i wondered do they have the same kind of conversations at that table that my mom and dad had at our table? no, honey, we can't get four new tires on the car, we can't afford it, we got to wait another month. i know we need a new hot water heater, we can't afford it, got to wait. >> met by crowds of a couple hundred along the way, biden ended with a driving rally in pennsylvania, a region president trump won in part by slamming president obama for job losses and broke promises to reopen mills, the local unemployment rate doubling in his administration. biden contrasted his own plan to build back to reunions and while he did react through last nights debate -- >> started this morning in cleveland, ohio, were just last night i had a truly unique experience of debating whatever his name was, donald trump. >> biden ke

jillian: if i could interrupt in fairness that has been his thing, always traveled on amtrak.hat is his thing. anything to say about that? >> i like the man of the people kind of thing, we travel by train on the east coast but the challenges that he appears a little bit low on enthusiasm is true, he doesn't appear very perky. this is compounded when you look at people at his rallies. he had 30 people at the first stop and this -- joe biden has an enthusiasm problem in the debate did nothing to help either candidate but joe biden needs to get people to return those ballots by mail or showing up in person. we have two huge issues, supreme court nomination, we have yet to say which way gravity is going and we have the economy which continues to so pain throughout america and we don't know where they will assign responsibility. >> speaking of debates, more structure to the next debate. let's look at the tale of the tape, biden interrupted 49 time interrupted joe biden. we have that announcement from the debate commission. with reaction from various campaigns biden's campaign sayin

i've ridden a lot of amtrak trains. from northeast ohio into pittsburgh and greensburg, johnstown, and i heard the same stories everywhere around the country. you're trying your best, but it never feels like enough. you're not looking for a handout, you're just looking for a fair shot. that's how my dad felt when we had to leave scranton when coal died. he was in sales. he wasn't in the coal mines, although my great-grandfather -- they tell me the first irish catholic state senator ever elected in the state of pennsylvania. he was a mining engineer. but i remember him saying, he made that walk which a lot of you know in erie, i call it the longest walk a parent has to make up a short flight of stairs to tell his kids we can't play in little league anymore. you got to leave. dad doesn't have a job. i remember him taking us home, my mom and three children at the time, home to my grand pops and how much pride it must have cost him to ask my grandfather to take care. he said take care of the kids and i'll be back. he went t

you know, the whole aspect of him about scranton and, you know, getting on the amtrak and talking towing their names and, you know, wanting to spend as much time as possible with voters and just hear about their lives and identifying with the ordinary day-to-day struggles of the american people, that's not a schtick, you know. that's who he is. >> joe biden has president obama to go out on the campaign trail. who does donald trump have? >> well, president trump has said over and over again the person he really relies on to get people excited about his nomination, about his presidency, about his another four years pitch is himself. he said that over and over again. he said that when he was running against hillary clinton saying she had all these different people, all these different stars, that i had donald trump. this is someone who will continue to rely on his instinc instincts. he doesn't really trust a lot of people who were running for the hills. that being said, you have to also remember that the president here is pitching this idea that he can get four more years because he kno

is that a sleeper car on amtrak? and do you have a giant head, or is that a hospital pillow?be daria for halloween? seriously, dude, i never thought i'd say this but, you know, get a journal or something don jr.'s in his 40s but he sounds like his best bro in junior high just told him he can't have that extra ticket to "ozzfest." "hey, guys hope you're doing well dirk says he's taking his girlfriend to 'ozzfest.' i guess i did something to piss off the heavy-metal gods talk to you soon." this gets to a core truth of trumpism the trump era has revealed many things about what the modern conservative movement actually stands for, rather than what they pretend to stand for. and one thing we've learned over the last four years is that the so-called party of personal responsibility is actually filled with whiny, petulant babies, who fill their diapers whenever you don't give them exactly what they want it's a party of veruca salts for example, last week, after nbc inexplicably did trump the huge favor of scheduling a rival town hall at the exact same time as joe biden's town hall o

on the way back on wednesday, on train trip, along the rails, he sort of loosened up a bit on the amtrak. she going to revert to a much more cautious approach? what is he going to do about this michigan trip scheduled today? >> yeah, andrea, this is one of those days where i'll apologize for glancing down at my phone every few seconds, because we're waiting for updates, we may have some shortly from the former vice president and whether his campaign schedule will go ahead today. as we've reported all day, he has been tested along with dr. biden, also other biden campaign officials who were with him in cleveland for that debate on tuesday night also being tested, as were the press corps who were going to be traveling with with him today and the rest of the staff who would have been with him. what have we seen from the biden campaign since the very earliest stages of this pandemic, andrea? in march he had barely built up a head of steam in the democratic nomination battle when the campaign essentially shut down. he didn't appear in public in any forum until memorial day. it was only after

we met on an amtrak train in 2011.ut what an epic night that was. what a crazy -- you called out, you shot down -- you called out donald trump and then -- and then your follow-up was obama calling down donald trump and who might have guessed where that would have gone >> seth: i know. it would have been a lot nicer if it has just been a footnote of history instead of a tipping point. >> exactly i mean, that's the point where he was -- so he started as, what, a failed mid-town real estate developer, then became a successful reality tv star, which is where this happened and now we get this bloviating, puff adder, sack of lies what next? >> seth: it is -- it's a certainly an interesting progression his career has taken. you -- you're obviously -- i think we share a lack of fandom for the current president. and you're actually taking steps with vote.org, and a really -- i guess it's sort of a bit of an online art installation. is that a safe way to describe planyourvote.org >> planyourvote -- yeah, planyourvote.org was a s
