the people in scranton didn't have money in stocks. in our house growing up, every penny my dad went to paying bills, keeping the lights on, food on the table. every penny our friends in scranton made went to paying the bills and taking care of their families as well. we looked out for our neighbors. that's why i have a different measure by which i judge the health of america's economy. i see hard-working women and men just trying to earn an honest living to take care of their families. just want an even shot. they're just asking for a fair thought. given a shot, the american people would never, ever, ever let their country down. never. the other expression my dad had, when you see the adduce of power, there's only one way to respond. that is with power. the only power we have to take on corporate america is union power. that's the only power. i just think back to 2008 when barack and i were elected, and we had the worst depression in the country. we needed to save our country from going into a depression. we did it with less than 0.2%

[cheers and applause] we are one movement, one people, one family, and one glorious nation under god. and together, with the incredible people of pennsylvania, we have made america powe

in scranton my mom used to have an expression. joey, nobody's better than you, joey, but everybody's your equal. my dad's constant refrain after he lost a job in scranton where there was no more work and he had to move to delaware. he moved away for a little over a year and came back every weekend to come to see us until we were able to finally buy a home. he said, joey, a job's about a lot more than a paycheck. it's about your digty. it's about respect. it's about your place in the community. these are the values that shaped my growing up, and i suspect most of you. it shaped my whole life. so i know and understood from the very beginning of consciousness about this that wall street and ceos didn't build this country. the middle class built this country. and unions built the middle class. that's why i've laid out a comprehensive agenda not just to rebuild our communities but to make bold investments so we can build back and build back better. and independent analysis actually from wall street mooty's projected that my plan will c

the stakes in this election remind me of something my dad used to say when we lost in scranton, pennsylvania, when i was a kid. he owes used to say a job is a lot -- about a lot more than a paycheck. it is about dignity, respect, and your place in the community. he said, and this is the gods truth, it is about being able to look at your kid in the eye and say honey, it will be ok. that is a lesson i have never forgotten. i grew up around a lot of hard-working folks. how many people today think they could look there kid in the eye right now and say, it will be ok, and mean it? so many people are hurt. over half of people in america say they have a bill for $400 they did not expect in one month and they would not be able to pay it. they either borrow money or sell something. as unemployment is way up. 1,000,200 thousand people file for unemployment just this week. folks are worried about making the next mortgage payment, whether health care would be ripped away in the middle of the pandemic, worrying about sending their kids to school or not. they see folks at the top doing better than ever wh

, in fact biden was born in scranton, spent his school years in scranton as a young boy. but that just shows where this battle is. and where biden needs to go. what he needs to do. he needs to focus on those states, pennsylvania, north carolina, high on the list. >> yeah, we noticed that he made a point of mentioning these crucial, crucial states for him, that the president needs to win. in order to win this election. so yamiche, what about the trump campaign what do they neeto do. do they think they need to do between now and voting day? >> i should say the end of voting. >> well, president trump really feels like he needs to do two thingsk one is continue to defend his response to the coronavirus. hospitalizations are going flup 39 states including in wisconsin, much mitch, ohio the same states that lisa and amy talk about a lot. the president under stands that he needs needs to continue to go those states, we will see him crisscrossing, going to rally after rally, that americans need to move past. this the problem is the facts are not on his side a lot of times and we

scrappy kid from scranton. a man who has learned early on to treat everybody he meets with dignity and respect. and empathy. that decency. >> laura: well, that scranton line is almost as tired as the candidate himself. but they keep going back to it. because they know that joe can't beat trump's record for the middle class. the big banks and the big business are not shovelling hundreds of millions at joe's campaign because they want to raise middle class wages. no, no, no. bloomberg and sorros are not spending millions to get tougher on china. they're in for biden because they know that he will be their yes man on everything from trade, energy, manufacturing. now, this means that the tariffs against china, they're gone. biden will enter the tpp and u.s. industries will be flattened. illegal immigrants, they'll flood the labor market in almost everyone's taxes are going to go up. don't believe that $400,000 deal for a moment. the left knows middle america is not going to willingly choose to sabotage its own pros

when my dad moved from scranton with no work and move down to delaware and stayed with my grandpa forr and came home every weekend. he finally got a job, it ended up being section eight housing but it was decent and we were happy. it took my dad three years to get a job good enough that he could actually buy a home. bought that small home. there were 70 homes like it, three and four bedroom homes. but the walls were thin and i look back and i wonder how my mom and dad did it. i remember you could hear him restlessly rolling in the bedroom next to me and i asked my mom the next morning, what's wrong with dad? she said honey, it's complicated. i said what's the matter, mom? i was like 14 years old. she said the company just lost his health insurance. we are going to be ok. all the people rolling around in bed tonight, tomorrow night, last night, trump doesn't see things this way. because he only sees things, sees the world from a park avenue perspective. i'm not being a wise guy, i'm being literal. he can only see from his penthouse, wall street. i see the world from where i grew up. my
