i just want to thank the people of north carolina.be honest with you, i felt an obligation to be here. you have a governor that is in a total shutdown mood. i guarantee on november 4, it will all open up, it will be fine. 4, you know these democrat governors, they love shut downs until after the election is over because they want to make our numbers look as bad as possible for the economy. v.se to say a people would say maybe not even know way. we have a super v. it is now looking like a super v. automobile numbers are incredible, used cars and brand-new cars, manufacturing is incredible, we are putting a lot of manufacturing jobs to work that the previous administration said you would need a magic wand . i don't think so. i guess we had the magic wand. we are putting them back, we are bringing them back. think of your life prior to the plague coming in. it was the best it has ever been. your state has the best number they have ever had by far. we had the best employment numbers also, up to 160 million jobs. we were never anywhere nea

in charlotte, north carolina, north carolina.are waiting for that, i want to ask you about this, one of the things we have now seen the outline of the trump agenda and how they plan to present it here at the convention, and there's a section on defend our police where they talk about fully fund and hire more police and law enforcement, increase criminal penalties for assault on law enforcement officers, prosecute drive-by shootings as acts of domestic terrorism, bringing violent extremist groups like antifa to justice and end cashless bail. this is a far cry from what we heard from democrats last week who while we were watching images of violence erupted across the country in various cities, they didn't really address the problem, they didn't come out and talk about we need to end the violence in our major cities, it was one of the things they were criticized for at least from the right. what do you think of this strategy? >> you're going to hear a lot about it here at the republican convention this week, defend the police, not d

that's why you're likely to see him speaking here today, he'll have an event in asheville, north carolina later and then in south carolina. tonight at the white house, we see him featured in the programming, in videos or another surprise which they continue to tease plenty of those throughout the week, andrea. >> kristen welker, one thing that was definitely not in mike pence's speech, we did not hear any mention of covid-19 or the pandemic. >> we didn't, and i am told that while there will be elements and moments throughout this convention that address covid head on, for example, we're going to hear from front line workers, president trump expected to thank some of those front line workers. this is not going to be a centerpiece of president trump's speech when he delivers it on thursday night. why is that significant? vice president biden did make that a key part of his speech, he laid out the steps that he plans to take to address the covid crisis, and he said, that essentially he wants to do that first before the economy can really start to have a resurgence in ernest, and so that is a

markup next in summer field, north carolina. caller: yeah, i think both chris christie and your current guest are completely incorrect about the effect of the vice-presidential pick for biden who is going to be inconsequential. unlike any other candidate in my lifetime, and i've lived quite a long time, it's really not been a factor but i've -- in discussions with people that udgingly vote for biden, they all admit they don't think he's going to last four years. they all admit they think he's going downward in terms of his mental capacities and they're going to be looking at the v.p. as the next-next president in a most certainly they think that's going to happen. biden won't even last one term. i think it is going to be credibly consequential and again will be a huge factor in the race. host: guest: to be clear, i don't think the decision is inconsequential. i think that people who are going to the polls will make decisions based on a variety of factors and don't think the vice-presidential pick will be the top one unless somet

everything is north carolina.couple quick references he made to covid has changed the dynamic here. that's probably an understatement. there's no way of certifying the millions of lives saved, he did acknowledge the 175,000 americans who had lost their lives here but he did go through a litany of other developments including the progress that he is making right now and something that shouldn't be stolen from americans, mail-in ballots take hold. now, he's talking about the propensity for abuse and fraud but the fact of the matter is, most mail-in ballots have not even been released yet to voters. it happens much closer to the election. we had 40 mail-in ballots four years ago, little disruption with those mail-in ballots. in fact, many say a good share of those, disproportionately, went to donald trump in those battleground states and ultimately decided him as the victor. we will go through a lot of all of this and the difference between the 40 million ballots then four years ago, the 80 plus million he sees today

north carolina, pennsylvania, wisconsin. in 2019, arizona was the number two state in terms of job grow growth. january, florida it was number three in terms of job growth. and he needs to message specifically to these states. because this is where the battleground truly is. for president trump on, someone who i personally believe has not stopped running for president since 2016. you've seen it and all of his events. you've seen in north carolina right now, a swing state in which he really needs. he has a true opportunity to rally the american people around something that they can all agree upon. that is that donald trump is a job creation machine. and that is the message that american people should take. coronavirus is bad. of course it is. people are dying, 100%. poverty kills too appeared that it is the message that people really, really understand it resonates with the american people. >> neil: he is pounding it. he's also pounding this vaccine treatment right now. we have been following the president's remarks in north

or are they now arizona, north carolina and georgia? i think there's probably an answer that is some place in between there. democrats have plenty of resources to invest in those, but the rnc and president trump are actually the stronger national fund-raisers. democrats have incredibly strong fund-raising network down ballot, but trump has been the republicans strongest fund-raiser. the republican party is having a pretty tremendous fund-raising success through him in the rnc. >> just a snapshot view of the weekly tv ad spending from the wall street journal. and blue is the biden campaign, in red is the trump campaign, you can see the fall off after july 28. this is an ad from america first, a pro trump pact. it focuses on the protests and some of the rioting that followed and the efforts by some democrats to, quote, defund the police. here's the ad. >> come here honey. hide under this bed. >> mommy i'm scared. >> they, mean it's going to be okay. >> you have reached 9-1-1 emergency services. due to budget cuts and increased criminal ac

in north carolina, right now north carolina is a republicans in the presidential level. but the republicans arel not running away. it is an incredibly strong contest. in a really tricky position because he does have a full responsibility of feeling of trump and also trying to be diverted voters that have been kind critical to democrats winning the 2018 race. meanwhile, how cunningham, relatively known and kind of a safe alternative. rather than that we think of and 2018 as an inspirational message. all of these best candidates in 2020 and the democratic side, contradicting themselves as middle-of-the-road. they are not trying not to set the world on fire. it is looking for an alternative. bob: president trump is laying in this morning on his own information as he often does. saying this morning, 96 approval rating the republican party 50 percent and another fall, ira obama at this point in time. thank you from president trump. race for wisconsin is next. the democratke line. guest: i think biden, for the vice president picking, i think he should pick somebody is a good l
