if she has got a problem, you would have thought she would have been vetted by sleepy joe. yeahgo ahead. reporter: after three weeks of absolutely no deals, you have been ragging on democrats constantly. why not come to the table personally and sit with them? i know that speaker pelosi and minority leader chuck schumer were in the oval office and that did not go so well. why not invite them and if they don't want to come, it is on them. -- them? pres. trump: we done very well, we have three phases and we are into phase four and we got everything we wanted and we've also got a great economy. all you have to do is take a look at these charts. our economy is doing good. we want different things. i want money for the people, they want money to bail out democrat governors and democrat mayors -- listen to me. listen to me. my people are doing very good and my people call me, they are in the office, they call me. when it is right, nobody knows the deal better than i do. when it is right, i will meet, and right now it is not right. they want $1 trillion to bailout out badly run states.

joe: yeah. lemonis: this lip is gonna be a problem.m the side. if i want to pull up my seat, i've got nowhere to go with my legs. dante: okay. lemonis: so we need a new bar put in, a new counter. oh, my gosh. i didn't expect to walk in to this. not as much progress that i had hoped. and it looks a little haphazard. the outside looks infinitely better. how do you feel about it? dante: i feel awesome about it. lemonis: but what's happened in here besides nothing? dante: well, today the equipment people are coming. they're swapping out equipment. should be here at 10:30. lemonis: but i don't want any new equipment coming in here until this tile is fixed. you can't go over that. do you have a knife? dante: yeah. lemonis: this -- that's nasty. i would stop the equipment people from coming. nick: i know the floors aren't the best. lemonis: aren't the best? to say that they aren't the best would mean that they're kind of okay. nick: yeah, all right. so they're not good. lemonis: they're awful. nick: okay. lemonis: i don't want any food coming

i mean, it's almost like in the response -- go ahead >> and why, joe? yeahuch easier for the fed to go into the corporate debt market. very hard for it to go into the small -- to really backstop small business loans you know, but you think about it, if you're going to create programs that segregate companies by size, you want to make sure that the cost of capital ends up being at least similar or the aid provided by the government to reduce the cost of capital. ask yourself this question, joe. for the next crisis you would much rather go in as a small business or as a big business that is available and potentially have the federal reserve or the treasury backstop your business? there's definitely an incentive to be created to be bigger from this response. >> it's not just that. it's who is allowed to stay open who do people feel -- there's strength in size and everything else, steve. >> yeah. >> it's almost just -- we're learning as we go along though i don't want -- yeah, next time. please no next time can we double the amount of time between the last flu a

joe. >> yeah. that's pretty low.tent with other polls out right now. i was talking to a long time political pro who's been around a lot of campaigns. we both said the same thing. we both believe donald trump could win in 2016 but after 2017 we've been absolutely baffled why a president who just barely squeaked past the finish line would work so aggressively at offending people and actually not work one single day to expand his base. so you look at that 42% number and i guess the question is, how does a president get from 42% to 47% when he has been -- when he started at a disadvantage and has only made that situation worse. >> it's interesting, joe. if you look at his -- you're right. it's fairly consistent with other polls. we have seen for a while that the president's job approval numbers are upside down. but what has kept him in the game up until now has been general approval, not on his overall job but on his handling of the economy. up till now, he's had a net positive approval rating when it comes to the econom

i'm just -- i'm beyond words thrilled. >> andrew yang, you've heard a lot of speeches by joe biden. >> yeah, and this was the best i've ever seen him. it felt like history has been pushing joe forward for tonight. i said before that donald trump has been losing, and this convention is a chance for joe and kamala to start winning, and they were now on track to start winning in addition to trump shooting himself in the foot. i said while i was watching joe speak, i said joe biden is going to be our next president. because there's so many americans that just wanted to see joe and kamala meet that threshold, and they met it and surpassed it. i could not be happier for the country because we're on track to turn the page. >> scott jennings? >> before i comment on the biden speech, i thought the star of the night was brayden harrington. >> oh, my gosh, thank you for saying that. that guy was incredible. >> he really was. i have a little guy who has learning differentiates and i know how hard it is for quids that age to give speeches to a class let alone on national television. when i saw him i tho

i don't think it was about role for aoc tonight not saying joe biden's name. yeahshe was nominating bernie sanders but she didn't have to not say joe biden's. i think it was intentional. what does it tell you and the state in play in your party? >> there are a couple things to say here. number one, she is one of the most dynamic figures in the party, there is no doubt. and pigeon hole here in a speaking spot where his job is to nominate one of the other candidates, and i don't it gave her a story where we are right now. and it's hard to judge what she did or didn't do in 90 seconds. >> she could have said his name. and i know it, you know it. would youn't have mentioned joe biden in the 90 seconds? >> i will say this. artie barcon and the way he was able to tell his story and talk about the change he want fos see, and to showcase that kind of emotion from the progressive left on to a joe biden and the decency of the man, i think more than did that work. i think between bernie sanders' speech yesterday, and what aoc talked about sbtd future of health care and the vi

this law in order message when law and order is what he does not have control of according to joe biden yeah and given it was such a strong speech kimberly are we expecting the president to respond to. he's already responded on twitter because donald trump likes to get the last word already accusing biden of blaming the police for the problem and blaming them more then the rioters and the looters that donald trump is blaming what he's also said is that essentially joe biden doesn't have the guts he didn't use the word guts but implying that to blame this on anti far sort of these far left elements to be fair actually biden blamed it on far right elements so both men are kind of politicizing this in order to try and score political points in the midst of all of this so it's really clear that what's happened is that both sides are seizing on these protests for political gain but donald trump is hoping to capitalize that on that even more today and get the last word not only as he responded on twitter he's also holding a briefing today at 2130 g.m.t. and then on tuesday he goes to connote wisco

yet hunter biden is supposed to be vouching for the honesty and credibility and integrity of joe biden? >> yeaholitical issue awe aside, we're concerned about this corruption issue and, remember, the left tried to remove president trump from office for raising questions about these corruption issues related to biden and his son. and that's all supposed to go down the memory hole even though it happened five or six months ago -- [laughter] gregg: right. >> we're supposed to forget it happened. he did get a special deal from china, $1.5 billion in managed assets that supposedly was something that had never before been given to someone from outside of china. gregg: right. >> and, of course, the burisma deal was a seemingly influence scandal. they were paying biden's son to provide protection and insurance, apparently. so much so that obama administration official were constantly talking about the issue not only in the white house, but in the state department. and the problem is the justice department doesn't want to ask any questions of joe biden. i don't know if they're doing anything on hunter b

joe? what do you want people to know about him? >> yeah, anderson. thank you very much for the opportunity. and thank you for your sympathy. you know, who was joe? this is what i want people to know about joe. i'll talk a little bit about his work in a second. >> yeah. >> but joe was a fantastic uncle. he was a loyal and generous friend. he was a beloved son. an engaged brother. he was a humble, enthusiastic and lived in the moment mentor to many folks. and he was also a gay man who worked in a catholic institution. you know, joe was many things. but he always did and went about his life in a very quiet, calm way. he would hate, hate that i was on tv right now talking about him, but it's all right. he will forgive us at the end of this this. >> you know, i know you have called him the bravest man you know. he worked on the front lines, caring for patients in the icu. >> he did. >> he a rare underlying auto immune disorder of the lungs. and i mean, he didn't have to, he could have very easily said, in all good conscious, look i have this dangerous cond

this mean for women for black people and joe biden supporters because this issue has been simmering for about a year amongst the chattering classes doesn't it. yeah you know i'm actually in actuality joe biden is on the same time line is previous candidates have been hillary clinton announced her running mate 2 days before the convention and same thing with bill clinton so he's on the same time i but there's been so much excitement because of the vice president's commitment to to letting a woman and a vice president made very clear that he wanted a running mate who would reflect the great diversity of america. as part of his criteria so for for today to come as an african-american woman i can't even begin to tell you how thrilled i am this daughter my great great grandmother was born a slave in 7090 and so all these years later to have a black woman at the head of the ticket is is just thrilling for us and i think it means so much not just for black folks but for the asian american community and for all women to be able to see that just one more crack in the great glass ceiling. and it is worth pointing out there some of joe biden's allies though

so it sounds like the biden campaign's problem in some ways is joe biden. >> yeah, joshua. there is a lot to unpack there. joe biden is uniquely qualified or has a unique perspective on this because he was obviously chosen as a vice president and what he said publicly on several occasions is he is looking for somebody to be a partner in government. that is not necessarily somebody who is going to build the party for the next decade. this is such a consequential vice president choice because we know this person, whether it is 2024 if joe biden were to win or 2028 there is a very good chance they could be on the ballot at the top of the ticket next time. he is really establishing the trend for the democratic party for the next decade. for someone like elizabeth warren for instance this might be her last chance to be president. you have to -- she is 70 years old. you figure if there is a vice president that is in her way or joe biden that is in her way she might not have a chance to run again until she is 78 or 79 years old and so it is consequential and impacts the future of t

what you mean or meant by that and what might make that an attractive trait this morning for joe biden. >> yeah. it's actually one of the things that makes someone -- that can be a difficulty in the primary that i think was a real benefit to her in the running mate search. it was one of the things that -- it was a through line throughout that primary, what progressive was. she was more on the moderate side and sometimes the policies oscillated back and forth. there was a medicare for all then an embrace of breaking up the big tech companies. the rhetoric of that, the structural policy that we saw from other candidates. that made her a kind of an enigma for some of the wings of the party. the progressive groups were frustrated she didn't fully embrace some of the issues. we see everyone in different sets of the party feeling pretty good today. it's not as if klobuchar klobuchar or gretchen whitmer, a firm choice on one side, not like an elizabeth warren, this is joe biden going against his instincts as kind of an ideological moderate. this is everyone who feels holds on on the policy front and t

greg: yeah. joe, i'm a little confused. don't even think kindergarten copies arnold's worst movie. i was going to put twins ahead of that. [ laughter ] >> yeah. she's talking about kindergarten cop like it's the bad lieutenant, not the edgiest fare that he's done. what a perfect 2020 movie to take on because we've got no cops and no kindergarten. greg: that's true. >> i think this woman -- has she seen his other -- his movies from the other -- that time period, he's got predator where he takes on an undocumented immigrant. greg: right, yep. >> and he's commando where he kills 100 people to save alyssa milano which in retrospect -- greg: yes. >> i don't think she watched the movie, the woman who complained. the most problematic scene is the one where the little boy stands up and says boys have a penis and girls have a vagina. guess what, you're canceled. greg: i wasas surprised that gt under theur radar. thatr is more offensive to the modern progressive than anything. tyrus, you may be the only person that loves movies, weird

there's a lot of reasons it seems like to leave the city >> yeah, joe the headlines keep coming now. to philadelphia, chicago, l.a., even denver crime rates in major cities are rising in the double digits the increases are almost entirely in gun violence and homicides. philadelphia seeing a 30% increase over last year. chicago with a 40% increase. denver homicides almost doubling in recent months now the largest increase is in new york city where we had 291 shooting victims in july that is nearly triple the number of last julyposting the worst week since 1996. now for the year to date shooting victims are up 81%. now criminologists say four big reasons in new york. first, you have the lockdown starting in march causing a big drop in gun violence but when cities opened up again it unleashed what police are calling a backlog of violence or planned retaliatory shootings. you had the big spike. secondly, you had bail reform and prison releases. also during covid, you had a 39% drop in arrests just this year which some attribute to a police work slowdown. then of course you have the big b

i also think that the portion of the speech about joe biden was very significant. >> yeah. >> becausenow to return to more mundane matters of electing a president. joe biden needed the affirmation -- people need to hear that this whole evening, i think, was enlarging for joe biden, but obama's testimony was very important because he did live with joe biden in that white house for eight years. knows him better than anyone else. >> he called him a brother. >> and can testify in a very credible way. >> called him his brother. >> yeah, he did, and he did rely on him. i was there. i was a witness to the many times in which biden was handed very sensitive assignments and which biden went behind closed doors with the president and counselled him on the most sensitive decisions that he had to make. and i really think focussing on the role that he played was very important for purposes of this ken convention, but for purposes of this country, setting the stakes in this election, of this election and making it clear -- the fact that hi sae said i nev expected him to continue my policies. what h

notableable and yet hunter biden supposed to be vouching for honest credibility integrity of joe biden? >> yeahide, we are concerned about corruption issue, and, remember, the left tried to remove president trump from office, for raising questions about the corruption issues related to biden and his son that is will supposed to go down memory will have a even though it happened -- five or six months ago. >> right. >> we are supposed to forget it happened he did get a special deal from china one and half billion dollars managed that supposedly never before given to someone, from outside china the burisma deal was seemingly influence pedaling scandal paying biden's son, to provide protection, and insurance potentially so much so as though impeachment hearings confirmed that that obama administration officials were constantly talking about the issue not only in the white house but in the state department. and the problem is justice department doesn't want to ask any questions of joe biden, i don't know if doing anything on hunter biden do i know state department hiding records on hunter biden on b

swing state we've seen one poll after another over the past several months where joe biden remains comfortably ahead. >> yeahhe words out of my mouth, joe. likely voters is who we need to pay attention to in these polls in battleground states. this is important especially as we consider what many americans consider, which is the conversation around how people are going to be able to safely participate in this democracy headed into november. we're seeing, you know, that voters are enthusiastic but younger voters polling has shown, even though they're paying attention to this election are not sure how they're supposed to be able to do that. you have african-americans, many of whom as we know are being affected by this pandemic who are thinking about voting from a public health perspective, not wanting to stand in long lines which happens in black communities across the country and exposing themselves to coronavirus possibly versus trying to get a mail-in ballot that may or may not be happening and then trying to mail that in and that vote may or may not be counted given the current dynamics with the postal ser

joe might be expecting a new baby. >> they went with me to the drug store to get the pregnancy test. >> reporter: i love that. >> they were the ones who actually told their dad? >> yeah, they told joe. >> reporter: we are having a baby. >> we are having a baby. and i said, baby. >> reporter: they chose ashley. as much as jill biden loved being a mom. she wanted a career, she got a dock docterate in education. >> i teach a lot of immigrants and refuges. >> reporter: do you think you will keep teaching if you become first lady? >> i had hope so. >> allde. if we get to the white house, i'm going to continue to teach. it's important. and i want people to value teachers and know their contributions and lift up the profession. >> reporter: so you are really planning to do it as first lady. wow. >> yeah, yeah. >> reporter: our future first lady. at campaign events from her dining table. >> this pandemic has shown a light on the inequities throughout the united states. >> reporter: dr. b as her assistants and staff call her speak to teachers groups often. do you see yourself as someone who will be an adviser to the president? >> it's a marriage. and you listen to one another

>> good morning, joe. yeahely, the most remarkable thing about this report was the fact that republican senators who are trump allies signed off on it. i mean, a lot of what was in this report had already come out in the roger stone trial. there was some new information. but much of it we knew. but republicans had never called trump out for it, and he's never answered for this. the idea that he embraced the fruits of a foreign intelligence operation to help him get elected. and among the new revelations, the biggest one, of course, was that paul manafort's sidekick, konstantin kilimnik, was a russian intelligence officer. that was not in the mueller report. we knew he had ties to russian intelligence. the implications of that, joe, are breathtaking. the chairman of the trump campaign was regularly meeting and sharing information with a russian spy! had we known that in 2016, i venture to say the result of the election may have been very different. no one has ever accounted for that. and the report makes clear t

and thereby motivated to somehow save themselves and save the country from this specter of joe biden. >> yeahre was certainly a lot of language for fear. it wasn't there after the promise of hope and optimism. did i want to ask you because more people have died in the u.s. from covid-19 than anywhere else in the world. it's the biggest issue in this presidential race although the rnc side stepped the issue. how likely is it that president trump can turn his fortunes around with the sudden approval of covid plasma therapy on sunday and mr. trump promising a vaccine will come very soon, perhaps before the november elections? >> well, he certainly is trying to turn things around, and even the fda's approval of plasma therapy for people in the first stages of coronavirus disease, it's important to remember that people must be given this within three days of having symptoms or it really doesn't work is a bit of a sleight of hand because that therapy has been available. 70,000 americans have received it, but president trump loves nothing more than a good show and i think he times this announcement

. >> joe did? >> yeah.hought he was talking about the fire, but i guess he was talking about him shooting him or stabbing him. >> it was a horrifying story. >> if she's faking this for some reason, it is pretty elaborate. >> and she's doing a good job at it. >> kay's daughter christina was there when the q & a at the police station was over. >> we went back to my house, and she didn't really say much. she was just quiet. i think she was just letting it all sink in. >> now police were trying to determine whether the evidence matched kay's story. >>> coming up, kay tells her story to us, and this part is really strange. >> he started singing and taunting us. they're coming for me. i'm going to kill you. >> what was that all about? and is she telling the truth? when "broken bonds" continues. s? - oh, darn! - let me help. lift and push and push! there... it's up there. hey joshie... wrinkles send the wrong message. help prevent them before they start with downy wrinkleguard. who've got their eczema under contro

joe? >> of course. yeah, we are sure.he was filming from here. >> reporter: it's the building right in front of the grain silo, a building that is buried. they have hope, three bodies were pulled out but no joe. maybe he is deeper in, deeper under, somehow, still alive. >> we have to keep searching. >> michelle was born in the u.s. the children also have american passports. joe was just about to get his visa. all that now, seems like a different reality. >> he loved life. and ever day. he wanted to go to america because it is better for his, for jennifer and joy, for their future, but not for him. >> the women are trying to shield the children from their grief. >> jennifer doesn't know daddy is missing. joy is thankfully too young to fully understand. maybe they will never have to tell the girls their daddy is dead. that night, the fourth after the explosion, crews were searching around the clock. searching the area where the family believed joe would be found. clinging to the hope that he would still somehow be alive. at

give me your expectations for tonight for joe biden in delaware. >> yeah, a lot of luminaries, formerete buttigieg, cory booker, mike bloomberg who got in the race because he wasn't sure joe biden could get across the finish line. he will speak, but i do agree with senator leahy miller earlier in the show, bill, that joe biden, i bet focuses more on the optimism and the lifting up of the nation. a lot of this convention so far has been targeting president trump and pretty dark and some of those speeches. i think, perhaps, this sets the table for joe biden to do the lifting up of america so to speak. >> bill: the other thing i asked joe lieberman about is the tone of barack obama. i haven't seen him a lot, frankly, but he chose philadelphia to deliver a stern message that really was aimed between the eyes of president trump. how do your remark on that? >> first of all, the fact that he went to the american revolution museum in philadelphia was its own message. the importance of pennsylvania. second was i think this was a pretty stern speech from president obama. and every speech last n

biden by 4%, if he's doing so badly in the pandemic, how it is that he's relatively close to joe biden? >> yeahlook here. i think this sort of tells the story. i have his approval rating among registered voters. 40% of the coronavirus, the approval rating on the economy, up to 52%. and look right in the middle. support him against joe biden, 46%, so it's kind of splitting the difference there, whereby you have the economy bringing him up, but the coronavirus bringing him down against biden. >> in general, as this pandemic has progressed, how have americans' attitudes changed about it. >> you're right, i think this is a key question. is the pandemic getting worse? is the outbreak getting worse? and what we saw in april was 80%, then it dropped down to 52 in may and 46 in june. now it's back up to 55%. and we see this in another way, as well. are you embarrassed about the response of the pandemic you're seeing so far in the pandemic? and what you see, this is just unbelievable. the embarrassed number is so high. 68% of all americans say the u.s.' response to the coronavirus makes you feel embarra

st much more about taking down joe biden, yeah, because you're right, there is very little th people don't know about donald trump. we think the president isg t capable of doing, of taking down, or trying to take down joe biden. >> this is something president trumps elisheing. and something he has been trying to do with biden for months. so this is a much more concentrated forum for that. and so we will see what they am kol up with, how they present it. you know, every night isf convention they are going to have people who have lived der socialist rule talking about how terrible it is. and then trying to connect those dots to j biden who is definitely not a specialist, but the idea, the pitch that they have been making is okay, you know, you may be okawith swroa biden. but, butuse is ja vessel for leftlitics. and so that is an argue they're going to try to make. >> woodruff: all right, i just have to i sarks i was listeningd to the prnt ted and at one point when the crowd was cheering four hemore years, as like whatbout 12 more years. >> make them angry, maybe we will hea message. >>

in the coming months about president trump or about former vice president joe biden. >> yeah. abigail, can you gauge the political impact of this, particularly these allegations that someone else took the test for the president because it's at a time, as noted by president trump's spokesperson, it's a at a time when parents are going to jail for cheating trying to get their kids into college. do you think voters will consider any of this? >> i think some will, absolutely. but to jeff's point earlier, a lot of these criticisms have been levelled on the president. whether about his reading or sb intelligence ch i think that will be more critical is to see how the president reacts over the next couple of days. his first response was really measured. you know. and but i will note that as the republican national convention kicks off, the president is scheduled to speak every night. so it will be interesting to see if he airs his grievances over the next couple of days to this, if it goes beyond the initial. and i do think people will judge him a little bit based on that. sort of wh

joe biden. >> yeah. buddy, good to see you. thank you for joining me.phanie ruhle, nbc news senior business correspondent and host on msnbc. catch stephanie at 9:00 a.m. eastern on msnbc. enjoy the rest of your weekend. >>> this week facebook proved how effective it can be at stopping misinformation in its tracks by blocking a covid-19 conspiracy video from going viral. why one research group named facebook a public health threat. that's next on velshi. something great from mr. clean. stop struggling to clean tough messes with sprays. try clean freak! it has three times the cleaning power of the leading spray to dissolve kitchen grease on contact. and it's great for bathrooms! just keep pumping the power nozzle to release a continuous burst of mist and make quick work of big jobs. it even works on stainless steel. it cuts through 100% of dirt, grease and grime. available with easy-to-swap refills. to get three times the cleaning power, try clean freak from mr. clean. what if the store took back all the brats you didn't eat at the end of the month the wa

joe?" >> mollie: yeah, you have all of these sort of crusty old dinosaurs in the democratic party, and they'ver time, and they will get a lot of airtime, and they showcase bernie sanders last night. he got that because he earned it. he ran a really good campaign, he nearly got the nomination himself. it would have been really crazy if he was not able to speak. but i actually believe the same thing would apply to alexandria ocasio-cortez. she also earned it, see essentially runs the house of she might not be the most incandescent light bulb in the intellectual chandelier, but she is very energetic, she is very fun to watch and whatnot, and she has the energy and excitement, and it's with the democratic party needs. i think she earned it, and i also think voters have the right to know this is the direction the party is going. yes, they are worried she's too far to the left. maybe that's why you keep some of the other squad members away from the cameras. i think voters have a right to know this is the direction joe biden himself has said he wants the country to go in. honesty is a good policy, pl

joe biden set all these things that i just mentioned, kamala harris, yeah, same thing with the l.a.p.d. it's pretty amazing. today, one panel of democrats at the dnc openly fantasizing about a world without police and prisons. wow. let's watch this fantasy unfold. >> why can't folks imagine a world without the cops? why can't folks imagine a world without prisons? why can't people expand their imaginations to include community care and abolition in the future. i'm talking about for real for real abolition and not just water down dnc version of abolition. talking about abolishing the police, talking about abolishing ice, about abolishing prison. >> sean: we all know too well what would happen. how do you ever pursue happiness if you don't have law and order, safety and security. how do you pursue happiness if you get in one of the horrible big cities run by liberal democrats for decades and you don't even get a quality education, the worst grades ev ever. murder is rising, violence is spiraling out of control, look at the city of baltimore five years after the antipolice case, baltimore

i guess the question is, how can you vote for joe biden? >> yeah, that's a great question. me a while to get there, and over the coming weeks, i hope to be able to better explain it. it is complex and something i wrestled with. obviously, i read the bible and went over verses and verses and verses about what god calls his people to. it's to honor and worship him and not to have other idols, to not live in fear, which is what i think a lot of the republican party is, is, we have to vote for trump because we're fearful of the other guy, and quite frankly, it was recognizing that what pro-life really means is to be able to protect life from conception to grave. and while the president gave a hat tip to the pro-life movement with conservative judges and i am grateful we have those conservative judges on the court, the reality is that the rest of life was not valued or dignified in the way that he acts and in the policies that he implements. >> elizabeth neumann, thank you so much, we'll have you back. have a great weekend. we appreciate your time today. >> thank, jake. >>> rese

do you think that sends to democrats, this message of people across the aisle speaking for joe biden? >> yeah, i think, look, this is an election that the most consequential election of our lifetime. that's the message that we're trying to send as well as unification. like this is a big tent party. everybody is welcome, and we cannot do it without building a coalition. i think that's the message. we're ready to unify, we're ready to bring people together, and we've got to win out there. you know this, joy. we cannot win if we do not speak to key constituencies and do not have a coalition big enough and strong enough to win in november. that's what it's going to take. and that's what we're bringing this week as we saw every day, every night people coming together from all stripes, all shades, like you said across the aisles, trying to say this is it. this is our moment. if you think about what obama said last night, you know, he's one of the most popular political figures in the world, and he used his clout last night to send a loud wake-up call, which is vote like your life counts on it, righ

lou: yeah, but joe biden, i think there are a lot of tricky things. be surprised because we call joe biden china joe, not ukrainian joe. >> well, there's two-and-a-half years' worth of records they still haven't given us from hunter biden's travelses while his father was vice president. so we want those records. 29 international trips, 5 to china. what else are they hiding? where was hunter, forget about where he is, where was he? lou: where was he x john solomon is at the forefront with you in trying to find out where was he. is this going somewhere? are we going to see an actual investigation of what happened in ukraine in particular first, john? >> yeah. there's one going on now with senator ron johnson and senator grassley. they're escalating. they made a significant amount of demand for documents that the trump administration's scrambling to fill, and there may be some subpoenas later this week. hunter biden took a trip to moscow. i think we're going to learn something about that in the next couple weeks that will enlighten us all. lou: wait a mi

though listening to joe biden saying really it's just about wearing a mask, being responsible. it's about being a patriot. >> reporter: yeah, joe biden and kamala harris choosing their attack for today, the coronavirus pandemic. once again criticizing the president for his response. they actually sat for a virtual briefing with some public health experts before their remarks and then spoke briefly about the need to wear masks. talking also about vaccines. take a listen to a little of what both of them had to say just a few moments ago. >> this is america. be a patriot. protect your fellow citizens. protect your fellow citizens. step up. do the right thing. let's institute a mask mandate nationwide. >> that's what real leadership looks like. we just witnessed real leadershipleader s leadersh leadership. which is, joe biden said that as a nation we should all be wearing a mask for the next three months, because it will save lives. >> reporter: now, that's something you've heard biden consistently talk about. the need to wear masks, social distance when around people and with your friends, and in those types of tight situatio

joe biden. >> well, let me cut to the chase here, lou. there's not a snowball's chance in hell's chance -- yeahangelical vote at all. and the reason this: the only evangelicals who are going to vote for joe biden are those who have sold their soul to the devil and accepted the democrats' barbaric position on abortion. i mean, it's so barbaric what joe biden believes in, unrestricted abortion, he can't even get his own church, the catholic church, to stomach it. they denied him communion because of that. let me focus on the positive, lou. the last pew poll showed that 82% of evangelicals are going to vote for president trump on november 3rd. i think the number's going to be higher than that, and here's why: we know there's a whole group of evangelicals who didn't tell pollsters they were going to vote for him in 2016. they didn't want to be badgered or bullied. that's even more to this time. people are are being toll that f you support president trump, you're a racist. nobody wants to be called that, so they're not going to admit they're voting for president trump on november 3rd. but i'm going

joe biden's america. your response to that? >> yeah, joe biden's america.unning a video of donald trump's america. the problem we have right now is we're in donald trump's america. you know, to quote kellyanne conway, she said, and i'm paraphrasing today, they're looking for more violence and more destruction because it helps them politically. he views this as a political benefit for him, he's rooting for more violence, not less, and he's clear about that. what's he doing? he's pouring gasoline on the fire. this happens to be donald trump's america. donald trump's america. covid is out of control, he's not prepared for it, he hasn't responded to it, and he continues to do nothing to deal with it. we have 15 million people out of work. it just is amazing how, if you noticed, they didn't speak about covid and they didn't speak about any of the reason why we're doing what's happening in kenosha is happening. and by the way, i condemn violence in any form, whether it's looting or whatever it is. and by the way, when i spoke to -- when i spoke to the family, the

. >> reporter: yeah. joe biden is making his way here to pittsburgh where he's expected to deliver this speech pushing back on president trump's message of law and order. over the course of the republican convention you heard both the president and his allies say that he will be the person to deliver law and order in this country and suggests that images that you are seeing play out across the country are a part of joe biden's america, part of what biden is trying to relay today is that those events have taken place under president trump's watch. and this all comes as we have seen protests in wisconsin and oregon turn vie lightning aolen times deadly. biden said he condemns violence on all sides and today he will suggest that president trump fomented violence over the course of his administration. biden will also go on to say he may believe mouthing the words law and order makes him strong but his failure to call on his own supporters to stop acting as an armed militia in this country shows you how weak he is

and joe biden delivered that today. >> yeah. and in terms of, you know, you talked about, look, she is someone who was in some respects politically a safer choice. what does her being his running mate mean for getting those progressive voters out? >> that remains to be seen. there are other candidates, elizabeth warren, for example, who was the favorite of a lot of young progressives, and there were other candidates who was considering who might have more of a hold in there. but i think the historic nature of harris' candidacy is not going to be lost on the progressive community. i think it was important to younger voters and certainly voters, african-american voters, that the candidate be someone who brings this kind of diversity to the ticket. so i think it will help. but i'm not a big believer at the end of the day that any vice presidential candidate really drives turnout. i think this is an election about the people on the top of the ticket. and this one, more than most, is a referendum on the incumbent president who is a m

we're starting with the celebrity endorsement for joe biden. >> yeah, cardi b, she recently spoke withe interviewed him for "elle" magazine's september 2020 issue. they covered a wide range of topics, from health care to racism, free education to tax breaks. but they really bonded over parenthood. >> biden, let me tell you something. when you have kids, my age, like the one my age, 2 years old, your schedule never go as planned, you know what i'm saying? >> you're telling me? i have four kids, five grandkids, come on, i'm an expert. >> there's no after-school programs anymore in my hood. >> that's right. nowhere. >> i'm wondering why. why? why is that? >> because people don't want to pay the taxes for it, and that's why this whole thing about government's bad has been such a downer for the things that really matter to you and me. >> biden, let me tell you something. on the topic of children, biden underscored the importance of voting, particularly among younger voters. >>> next to former president obama releasing his summer playlist. >> mr. obama shared his latest playlist on twitter.

joe. >> yeah. you see those quotes side by side.g to his people, lying to americans, creating this alternative reality that again republican senators should speak out on to save the lives in their states. deborah birx says that the pandemic is, quote, extraordinarily widespread. donald trump once again says, the virus is receding. time and time again he is given the opportunity to follow the advice of doctors, of epidemiologists of scientists of the smartest people in the world and time and time again he lies to the american people and talks about how the virus is receding, is going to go away. even told chris wallace, i'll be right, one day the virus will go away and says, soon very much under control. that's not the case. to talk about about it, let's bring in medical contributor dr. vin gupta. dr. gupta, deborah birx was called, quote, pathetic by the president of the united states for simply saying what dr. fauci, what every reputable epidemiologist, reputable doctor would be saying while people in his circle are attacking docto
