it was asheboro north carolina. it was glendale, arizona. apparently we are to believe that the trump campaign sat down and said, let's go map out where white's premise is. they tried this when i was on the campaign. it doesn't work. this is what you reach for when you don't want to talk about the jobs we just spoke about last segment. this is the libelous, defamatory, old and tired playbook. rip it up, dems. not going to work. >> emily: kellyanne, glendale, arizona. to stevens point, that's where the cardinals play. so the cardinals are racist, too? this is so tired and the obstacles are so opaque. >> kellyanne: there's no question. every time gretchen whitmer speaks -- i hope she runs in 2028. she is just so unimpressive. this is your state, lady. you are the governor of michigan and talking about optics instead of an opportunity to make things right. not on a movie set at the dnc. this has been tried again and again. it is tired, it is certainly not hope and joy and forward-looking optimism and civility. can't we all get along? all that j

here he is in asheboro, north carolina. our grady trimble was talking to him. >> i know you said you will let fed chair powell stay as fed chair to the end of his term but what if he cuts rates before the election? >> if you take a look at the numbers and this 800 something thousand fake jobs they said existed which i think is a terrible thing they did that in order to look like their economy is good. that shows the economy is horrible. larry: all right. what do you think of that? fake jobs. i love that. not going to plame the fed. he is just saying the whole thing was phony. kevin said we may be in recession. what does john carney think? >> this revision took back what we thought was a lot of progress in the labor market. look, the labor market has not been anywhere near as we thought it would be. manufacturing actually lost jobs during that period. it is in the negative column. manufacturing has been in a recession for probably about two years right now. meanwhile the biden and harris administration is running around saying that they're having a manufacturing

that is where today it is notable he is going to asheboro, north carolina, for a campaign rally. on saturday, wilkes-barre, pennsylvania. you look at those seven states. the trump campaign had been talking about new hampshire being in play, virginia being in play, and this is the difficult part for a campaign less than three months out. suddenly you're working with upwards of nine potentially battleground states, and you have to pick not only where you spend your time but also spend your resources and when you compare it to the democratic side with their ticket appearing with down ballot candidates, there are senate candidates, within north carolina, there's gubernatorial candidate who right now has lower polling numbers with donald trump. there's a lot taking place within the republican party about donald trump's use of time and where he's appearing but also the extent to which he appears or does not appear with some of these down ballot candidates in the extent like pennsylvania, dave mccormick, will we see him on saturday, alongside donald trump on stage. there's a lot that th

right, so we just got a little bit of sound from donald trump that i want to play at his event in asheboroattack on the election and election day. >> and our primary focus is not to get out the vote. it's to make sure they don't cheat. because we have all the votes you need. you can see it every house along the way has signs, trump, trump, trump, trump/vance, and by the way, vance is doing a great job. >> david, sounds a whole lot like what he said in the lead up to 2020, also what he said in the lead up to 2016. then stopped saying once he won. it feels like he's seeding the ground to claim the election was stolen from him again if he loses? he does. we should not be surprised. we should be prepared. unlike in 2020, we should be prepared for what that means. the irony is we don't need to get out the vote. we need to keep it from being stolen. that kind of messaging makes it more likely he's going to lose. you don't have to do the blocking and tackling and serious work of getting people to the polls. you just have faith they are going to show up. he does have a very, very dedicated fan bas

nbc's vaughn hillyard is reporting from asheboro. what are we seeing? what are we expecting, vaughn? >> reporter: this is the first outdoor event since butler, pennsylvania, when donald trump survived that assassination attempt. you can see the bullet proof glass on the front and the back side of this podium here. we expect donald trump to take the stage at any moment. j.d. vance spoke to the crowd. take a listen to a little bit of his counter message to the stage in chicago. >> donald j. trump represents something so many in this country need. it's important to recognize it, we need hope in the united states of america. >> reporter: we maybe heard the word hope spoken from that chicago stage by particularly michelle obama just last night, but of course it's a republican ticket here that is trying to, in its own messaging, use the term about its future for america. i want to also be clear, today's event, chris, is supposed to be focused on national security, and j.d. vance as part of his remarks was talking to the crowd, suggesting there was no war in u

a campaign stop with his running mate jd vance that was pegged as one on national security in asheboronorth carolina. but again heavily featured insults against the vice president. >> she's a radical left believer. she ruined san francisco, she ruined california. and, if she gets in, our country doesn't have a chance. this calamity is on comrade kamala harris' shoulders. laura: back in chicago, the center stage tonight belongs to vice presidential nominee tim walz, who many voters still know very little about. facing what is expected to be the biggest moment of his political career to date, governor walz will be able to introduce himself to more than just the party faithful during his primetime speech. geoff: as you say, it's a major moment for him tonight. what can we expect to hear from him? >> he will be introduced by a former student of his. he was a former football coach and he is expected to talk about his upbringing in small-town nebraska. you will also be seeing videos throughout the night that highlight his service in the national guard as well as his time as a public school t

they're dnc speeches last night as jake just played a few moments ago, our phil mattingly is in asheboro, north carolina, where trump just wrapped up his first outdoor rally since the assassination attempt against him last month fell. so obviously, an important moment in that regard, and it was billed as a national security speech. >> did he stick to that? no word. there were certainly national security elements and their key planks from his foreign policy of his first administration that he certainly wanted to watch it you're through and talk about and focus on in this speech about a second administration. but it was also very clear he is paying very close attention to the democratic convention or democratic charade, as he called it repeatedly, including two speakers from last night, take a listen did you see barak hussein obama last night taking shots? he was taken shots at your president and so as michelle, you know, they always say sure please stick to policy, don't get personal. >> and yet they getting personal all night long. these people do i still have to stick to policy and elem

they're going to be talking about crime and safety wednesday, asheboro, north carolina thursday. he's going to be south of tucson on the border. there. obviously an issue talking about immigration. and then friday, these are billed as two different events. one in las vegas talking about the economy and one in glendale, arizona now have all of these only that one on friday evening is a rally. the rest of them are what are being called internally messaging events. these are smaller venues these are smaller crowds, and it is meant to keep donald trump on topic. obviously, donald trump will do what donald trump wants to do, but they are trying to create a scenario in which he can at least give him the runway to stay on topic now over the weekend part of a very, very long speech that he gave in pennsylvania was attacking harris. take a listen her plan is very dangerous because it may sound good politically and that's the problem. >> and we have to be very careful because when somebody gets up and says, we're gonna give you everything 25,000 for a house. >> we're going to give you all

so make america safe again wednesday, asheboro north carolina, that is make america is secure again or excuse me, that one's make america strong again, they're going to be talking about national security. then he's going to go to the border in arizona on thursday, friday, back to the economy in las vegas, then he has a rally in glendale, arizona on friday night. all part of make america great again, as you noted, he's going to have various surrogates in chicago giving press conferences today. it is rick scott and ron johnson, two senators. they want them focusing on the economy. but even if they are trying to get donald trump to focus on the issues, particularly every single day, a separate issue, just a reminder, these they're not rallies. these are what are being internally calling messaging events. that means smaller crowds, smaller venues, and a way to have donald trump just stick to the message. but even with those kind of runway that they are giving him, donald trump is still likely to veer off course because that's what we've seen time and time again. this is him in pennsylvania

pennsylvania, at least trump, in particular being york, pennsylvania today, how will michigan on tuesday asheboro, north carolina, wednesday, arizona? on thursday, and then he will hit nevada on friday we haven't seen that active this entire time. >> choosing the time of the democratic national convention to do it which is really interesting because obviously he's not going to get the lion's share of attention. most of the media attention is going to be on what's happening here in chicago this week. but he doesn't want to give an inch and is stepping up his campaign activity to help define harrison, try in whatever ways he can and vance can to work themselves into the news cycle and not cede the ground. there are 11 weeks left. this is a reshaped race, and i think this schedule indicates how much they understand the toll sheer grit and listen, we'll see how he manages to work his way into the conversation, right? is it more a comments about how beautiful he thinks kamala harris's is more along the policy lines that's certainly what republicans want him to do, doesn't seem like that is what donald

first outdoor rally since last month's assassination attempt cnn's phil mattingly is at the event in asheboro, north carolina. phil that is a big crowd behind you. tell us about the event yeah. >> that's actually one of the most interesting parts of this brianna over the course of this week, a full week of counter-programming in swing states throughout the country. most of the events been indoors, small crowds. paula plus eucentric and policy focus. this is supposed to be a policy speech that we're expecting from the foreign president is actually right behind me, just brought local law enforcement up to the stage. that's why it's so quiet right now, but it's an outdoor rally with a lot of people both in the event space itself, but also outside in the parking lot. hundreds of cars, thousands of people out here to not even get in to the rally, but just to watch the rally. it's his first major outdoor event since the assassination. attempts in butler, pennsylvania. if you can see behind me on the stage, he is now surrounded by bulletproof glass and this is a marketable market moment for the form

michigan, which is a suburb of detroit to droit talking about safety wednesday, he is going to be in asheboro thursday. he's going to be just south of tucson on the border in arizona. and then friday, he has a rally in glendale, arizona, as well as a small event in las vegas. now, all of these other than that rally on friday or being called internally messaging events, that means they are smaller crowds, smaller venues, and they are set to focus on one topic. obviously this coming as allies themselves have encouraged donald trump to stay stay on message and you can see up there those are the themes of each various day make america wealthy, make america safe, make america strong, secure, make america great again whether or not donald trump can do it, that of course is the big question yeah. >> i mean, kristen, you've been reporting his allies have been basically begging him to stop with the personal attacks that did not happen this past weekend. so i have to think that it's not going well yeah. >> and it's not just even privately and publicly, they are pleading with him on various cable news s

that is a suburb of detroit when he focused on crime and safety wednesday asheboro, north carolina, thursday is going to be just south of tucson on the border there, obviously talking about immigration friday, he's going to be in both vegas and glendale, arizona now, glendale, arizona, that is going to be a rally, but the rest of these again are going to be called messaging events. now, donald trump himself, as you said, his allies have been begging him to stay on message, but appears harder for him to do and something we've seen for the last eight years, it is harder for him to do this was him this weekend at a rally in pennsylvania good, good. >> you have what happened to biden? he's running against biden all of a sudden i'm running against somebody else you know, it's interesting. i said, who am i running? speaking against harris said who the hell is harris? i believe she will be easier to beat than him because she's a truly radical left lunatic now whether or not he believes that that is true yet to be seen. but his campaign certainly is dragging the fact that the polls have tightened, t

resolution, but we'll have to see how that plays out we were talking about during the break, i was in asheboro, north carolina for former president trump's rally. >> last week you were there as well. you spoke. i tried to grab across the crowd. it was a lot of people couldn't quite do it. i'm interested when you look at your home state right now, democrats feel like it is a flippable state. i would caution that they've said that for several cycles now. but the combination of the republican candidate for governor, momentum on the harris side of things. we've seen election analysts put this into a toss-up category. are you concerned that the republican hold on the state statewide is in danger right now? >> no. i think north is obviously a purple state. >> i think the election will be very close every statewide election in our state in recent memory has been very close. but, but donald trump carried the state in 16 and 20, i believe he'll carry the state again because people back home in north carolina are hurting. i mean, it cost her, up through inflation. they're concerned about fentanyl deaths

wasn't -- >> we will leave this for the start of the campaign rally with former president trump in asheboro north carolina. this is his first outdoor rally since the attempt on his life back in july 13 near butler, pennsylvania. he is being introduced by his vice presidential nominee j. d. vance. >> letter number eight years ago donald trump had everything you could want, fame, fortune, family, friends. he gave the easy life up so that we could get our country back. he traded, , he traded everythig for an unjust persecution, for slander, for scorn so that we could save the trend of america. now they couldn't be at the ballot box and try to bankrupt in. they feel that that so they try to impeach him. they failed at that so we tried to put him in prison. and even tried to kill him. but as sure as that beautiful flag still ways behind me in the american sky, donald trump still stands ready to fight, ready to win, ready to make america great again. ladies and gentlemen, please welcome my friend and our president of the united states donald j. trump. [cheers and applause] ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ and i'm proud t

speaking to the crowd in the town of asheboro, he touched on global military spending, and gave somet and lie. they lie about stats. they lied about the crime numbers. the crime numbers to look bad than the front of the many of the worst places were not included in the numbers. and that was done by the fbi, which is sad. four years ago our country was strong and respected like never before, our allies admire this, our enemies fearless because everyone knew that as an american president, i was all about putting america first, that's true. under my leadership, rebuilt united states military, created space force and we made our allies pay theirfair share and pay theirfairshare and airfare pay theirfair share and airfare deals. we went to neita and we said, you're not paying, you have to pay. —— we nato. we will take a short break but will have more in a few minutes, stay with us. hello there. a spell of wet and windy weather is currently making its way across the far north of the country, and it will take its time to clear. so heavy rain easing slowly on thursday, but it will stay prett
