although formally the speech in north carolina was not pre-election, biden devoted a significant particism of his main rival, donald trump. my predecessor likes to say that america is failing, to say to my face, bless me father, for he has sinned, that is, oh well, it is failing. by the way, we heard that he wants to see the stock market crash because everything is great there, and he admits it, we are doing damn well with the economy getting better, that's why he needed a crash. stock market to show his closeness to the people, after the speech, biden, supposedly unexpectedly, stopped at a fast food restaurant, under the close supervision of the governor of north carolina, democrat roy cooper, the president, clearly unaccustomed to cash, managed not to get confused when paying for the order, but users social networks immediately found videos and photographs of biden’s election trip to the same fast food in october 2020, it turned out that under president trump the same set of dishes cost almost... a third cheaper, and other internet users compared how biden was now greeted by residen

that's what gives democrats a chance in north carolina. why is dean phillips, a white guy from minnesota who doesn't talk a ton about these issues, why is he somebody who can do better than biden in those states? >> if you look nationally at biden's approval rating, it's been declining in all groups as one example, he's losing to trump among latinos, which is a traditionally democratic constituency. the same polls show a generic democrat winning over trump by six, seven, eight points. it's common sense, that if you want a fresh 54-year-old non-polarizing figure, all of a sudden most americans would say, hey, i prefer that over trump, you know what i mean? if that's the matchup. unfortunately, joe biden right now has a lot of baggage associated with him from his age, from inflation, and from the fact that many people look back fondly on the trump economy rightly or wrongly. >> i wanted to ask you on saturday a hedge fund investor bill ackman endorsed phillips. thaes ackman very critical of dei, on tuesday said he expected phillips to remove

under the watchful eye of north carolina democratic gov. roy cooper, the president, clearly unaccustomed to cash, managed to avoid getting confused when paying for the order, but social media users immediately found videos and photos of the campaign. biden's arrival at the same fast food in october 2020, it turned out that under president trump the same set of dishes cost almost a third cheaper, and other internet users compared how residents of the generally democratic state of north carolina now greeted biden, and how 3 months ago citizens of even more pro-democratic california welcomed donald trump at a similar restaurant. look at biden, what happened under biden, with his policies, he killed our country, what's happening on the southern border, it's a disaster, everything he does - this is a catastrophe. his actions in afghanistan led to the most shameful moment in our country's history. what he did was terrible, maybe he didn’t mean anything bad, though it’s hard to believe, this man is just incompetent. the latest sociological survey

. >> republican senators james lankford of oklahomand thom tillis of north carolina talks about the surge of migrants arriving in the u.s. and the state of the border with democrats. this is just under 25 minutes. >> it's been a big conversation in this body that actually matches the conversations happening around the country right now. if you ask any random person on the street the key issues they're thinking about right now almost every poll for the last several months, people are concerned about the economy and they're concerned about border security, just about every poll you've seen everywhere, that's been the one and two. sometimes border security has been the top issue, sometimes the second issue, but it's been in those top two over and over and over again. and it's not just border states and it's just not republicans. it's republicans, democrats, independents and the like. they see what's happening at the border and they just want to know what's the plan because the news comes out in september that last september was the highest number of border crossings ever in the history of th

very nice part of north carolina. it's not the rural place that would be impacted by the new high speed internet. but they got to talk about something, right? and it seems like they don't want to talk about anything at the white house that might remind people that president biden owns all these policies that at the moment polls show are not particularly popular with anybody, including people in his own party. so they're getting out on the road. and, again, got to talk about something. and so it's going to be bidenomics. >> steve: changing the subject. >> brian: 33% approval. thanks, peter. >> lawrence: i'm so furious what is happening at texas and the border and this is whip gate all over. that unit i was with last week on the border was the unit that rescues the migrants when they are drowning in the water. and i asked them straight up, whether a is the policy? they said the moment they see them drowning in there, they pick them up and put them in the boat. the suggestion that they would just allow children to drown

nbc's allie raffa reports from north carolina.aw a contrast with donald trump during this speech where you are. you're in raleigh? >> reporter: that's correct, chris. the president here today really for one main reason is to push the economic agenda and what he sees as his legislative accomplishments while he basically uses the powerf his platform as president to also run for reelection. this is something we have seen him do over the last few months, and during this speech that was focused on what the biden administration has done to expand lower cost, high speed internet access for people here in north carolina, he also used that opportunity to take some swipes at former president trump, who is likely to be his 2024 rival. listen here. >> our approach, super charged by my predecessors. everything was trickle down, but not a lot trickled. i'm serious. that trickle down shrank public investment in education. hollowed out communities, closing out factories, leaving too many behind and now my predecessor likes to say america is a fai

so more versus harper is a case that came from north carolina. north carolina is a very politically evenly divided state. it's roughly 5050. there's 14 seat congressional seats in north carolina. that that is 14 seats. the us house of representatives, the state legislature controlled by republicans, drew the map in a way that was 11 republicans seats, three democratic seats. and that is possible now with the advent of statistics and modern modern computing power. and it's not something only republicans do in the democratic legislatures states, they do it to, but state legislatures tend to be controlled by republicans. so they draw this map 11 to 3 voters of north carolina, to a nonpartisan group, common cause. that's my client challenged this and this violates our state constitution. and they go to the state supreme court and they say this and the state supreme court agrees with them. so then the, losers, the republican committee brings it to the u.s. supreme court and they say, and i'm sorry, this story is long, but i think it's a helpful one fo
