like this one in scranton, pennsylvania.them, making the artillery shell, the weapon responsible for 80% of the casualties in a war of attrition 5,000 miles away. numbers could decide the war. the u.s. has given ukraine more than two million shells since 2022. for a time the two sides were even matched. today, russia fires 10,000 shells at ukraine each day. five times more than ukraine can fire back. >> the ukrainians are not running out of courage, they are running out of ammunition. >> russia's war economy produces 250,000 shells a month, three times that of the u.s. and europe combined. the u.s. army is spending $400 million to multiply production five-fold here as human hands checking dimensions and robotic arms work side by side. >> they know that the work that they're doing is important for the protection of our government, to the protection of our war fighter. >> the u.s. goal, to produce 1.2 million shells next year will depend on the passage of a $60 billion aid package for ukraine currently stalled in congress. >>

"people are constantly asking me to prove i don't have dementia. and i always ace it. i aced "day of the week," "how many fingers?" then they asked me "who's the president of the united states?" i said "this guy!" and they said gave him another cognitive test. whale!"

as it stands now, his old line, i'm just a guy from scranton has never seen more phony and that is "the." joining a victor davis hanson, senior fellow at the hoover r institution. victor, listening tohoov those s that are as recent with 2009 asi obama and a post rain 95 with clinton and 2006 with biden himself, they really understandy understood what was at stake and much more of a working-class democrat party so what went wro? >> what i think what went wrong they flipped california and will never have a governor likeia. reagan or pete wilson from georgia or even arnold schwarzenegger. cthey flipped nevada, theya flipped colorado through demographic changes. they found a lot of political opportunism there. that is where they change. this policy is not because ofngt naive but deliberate. the only thing that will change is the next election, the vote 51% trump pure they will close the border in a nanosecond. >> laura: right now the biden administration sees that this ih hurting them in the polls. there is no doubt about it. you can't deny every poll that i have seen shows this is a nightm

he will try to connect with americans on the economy by marketing himself as scranton joe and his opponentll street elite. the former president said on truth social, i'm pleased to inform you, we will be doing live play by play of crooked joe's address, i will correct any and all inaccurate statements. house speaker mike johnson is sharpening his attacks on biden's biggest liability, the border, pointing to migrants coming in illegally being on terror watch list, fentanyl, cartels. big question is whether biden will mention trump by name. typically state of the union addresses try to strike a unifying tone, it is a campaign message. with biden central campaign message painting trump as threat to american freedom, there is a chance he takes a darker approach. >> steve: in the last report you said the speaker told republican members don't heckle the president. i understand the white house is upset and worried that there is a pro-gaza outburst and apparently number of members of congress are bringing people who have of loed ones who were killed in that conflict right now. they are worried abo

. >> reporter: biden will try to connect with average americans by marketing himself as scranton joe it is 24 likely opponent donald trump as a wall street elite. biden will make the case that despite voter sentiments he led the post pandemic economy to a historic recovery and paint greedy corporations as the bogeyman responsible for stubborn prices and less bang for your buck these days but the central theme of biden's campaign is trump undermined democracy with his efforts to overturn the 2020 election and his party's embrace of restrictive abortion policies, the president might strike some dark tones tonight, team biden spokesman says at the biden campaign we intend to remind voters of the chaos and lasting damage trump caused as president and why the american people voted him out and he and his extreme project 2,025 agenda will devastate them and their families if he is allowed anywhere near the oval office. republicans are gearing up to hit biden on the big voter concern, the border. >> number one issue in the country because every state is a border state now. it's a catastrophe

joe from scranton, pa, amtrak joe. he saw what was happening across the country. and he tasked his cabinet with developing a policy to bring jobs and businesses back home to america. an industrial strategy for the 21st century based in part upon clean energy, a future of manufacturing revival, thriving businesses, good jobs for kids, energy independence and products made in america. and you know what? the president's strategy is working, folks. did i mention 350,000 jobs last month? we now have the most significant clean energy and climate strategy in the nation's history , arguably in the world. the strategy for building clean energy come a clean energy future in the united states rests on four legs. first, making the united states the irresistible nation for investing in clean energy. second, and that those investments provide desk ensuring that those investments provide energy benefits and the communities left behind. third, strengthening america's workforce so that our workers have the skills they need to compete in this global clean energy market. fourth, wit

he needs to talk about the fact he's from scranton. how does somebody feel when they go in the grocery store. it's not what you tell me. it's how i feel when i'm around you or how do i feel when i'm in the store. so he can take some credit. we have to acknowledge, we have a ways to go. i think when it gets to the border, i think he should chide the republicans and say, look, for the first time since ronald reagan, we have a bipartisan bill. what's in the bill, to provide border security, did i get to this later than i should have? perhaps, nothing wrong with saying that, and lay out the fact that this was a strong piece of legislation and call on the republicans to bring it up and consider it, that nothing is perfect, but walking away from this continues to exacerbate the problem at the border. and i think, though, that it's not so much that he should -- i mean, i think he needs to explain to people what he's established. when we say look at all of these things he's accomplished, frankly, look at the polls. people are not feeling that.

does he also show, hay, i -- does he also show, hay, i -- [ inaudible ] >> the president grew up in scranton, no privileges, and he understand what a lot of people -- we had a catastrophe in 2020. he's been bringing it back. a lot of people were still hurting. the president will talk about what he'll do to make lives better. >> viewers of "the beat" know i keep it real. we loved having you on before you took the job. >> i appreciate that. >> during the two years we never could get you on. >> i was really busy. >> we asked you to stay longer, you agreed, which i appreciate it. so ron klain, who we do have now, stays with us, so that's a good reason for everyone to stay through the break. >>> let me tell people what's coming up. jen psaki will also be here on one of the biggest nights in the nation. presidents are making their case in a fundamentally different way. >> i have no more campaigns to run. my only agenda -- [ laughter ] -- i know, because i won both of them. dracula, let's fight back against discomfort. with new poligrip power max hold & comfort. it has superior hold plus keeps us c

also, her response was, he grew up in a middle-class family in scranton, as if that's an answer. >> danaon point. i am so glad to have an opportunity to talk about this for a moment because for a presidential candidate, doing local media is the harder thing to do than the national media. the national media and white house press corps as you've seen with president biden is pretty easy. when you go to local media or talk radio, you have to be on your toes. you have to be prepared. g mama work for us in the bush white house. she would make president bush listed all of those questions, even if he had 100 other things to do, they are mad about the potholes in charlotte, so they are going to ask you about it, and he would have a good answer for it. they are trying to do the pivot to the south and this was a hilarious. this is the same one where mark levin appears and i thought he was pretty respectable, asking about gas prices if that is what people care about and if she does not have a better answer to either the mental acuity or the fact 86% think he is too old to run again, you think you ar
