but this scranton stuff, that is why i would figure here and asked when one thing to you, but i think you people know it better than i do. he left. he abandon pennsylvania scranton. he was here for a short period of time, and he didn't even know it. it is amazing he goes around in a circle, he still doesn't know it. but he spent the last half-century in washington selling out our country and ripping off our jobs and letting other countries steal our jobs. mexico, china, live them. he is stealing our jobs. he's been there 47 years. and now he will come in and make a change. i don't think so. his son worked out with $1.5 billion to manage and his son didn't even have a job before that. and i asked the wall street people, tell me come is that possible? smartest people in wall street said it can't happen, it can't happen. the smartest people of the people that do get money from every country from everybody say it can't happen. he walked out of there in 10 minutes with $1.5 billion. explain that one, right? they want to look at him and nobody looks at ukraine, $83,000 a month and $3 million upfront payment because of his great expertise and energy but he had

election he is headed shortly to scranton pennsylvania why that's the hometown of his rival joe biden who of course will be making his speech as he accepts his party's nomination in the coming hours for the democratic presidential nominee donald trump continuing his counter-programming campaign trying to get ahead of that message he will be speaking from scranton pennsylvania a battleground state ok kimberly thanks for that kimberly washington white house correspondent there. well mr trump was dealing with all of those questions and she was hosting the new iraqi prime minister most often i'll condamine he's on his 1st official visit to the u.s. they discussed boosting u.s. investment in iraq as well as the future of about $5000.00 american troops who are still stationed the u.s. forces have already begun to withdraw from several bases over the past few months we have been taking our troops out of iraq fairly rapidly and we look forward to the day when we don't have to be there and hopefully iraq can live their own lives or they can defend themselves which have been doing long before w

he won't get distracted by trump in scranton, pennsylvania.en is a much loved son of scranton, pennsylvania. while he says biden ripped someone off. you see steve bannon indicted for ripping off republicans who sent him money to build a wall. it's not just bannon. flynn, manafort, michael cohen. drain the swamp and build the wall. in terms of the speech tonight, he has to make it clear: soul of america. this election is a referendum about donald trump and about trump's record over the last 4 years. do you want another 4 years of this? that's the point he has to deliver tonight. >> do you think joe biden is capable of delivering as juan said? >> well, joe biden has political strength but public speaking has never been one of them. it's not likely one he will all of a sudden get. it's hard to do a speech like this without a crowd. imagine not having anyone start a chant or shout your name or start crazy applause and you get to stand there and bask in that energy. instead, you and greg are fantastic at doing monologues and you read into a prompte

he left when he was about 10 because his father could not find work in scranton pennsylvania becauset was facing decline because of coal mine closing. and the reason he's here is this is it part of the effort by the president to gain back support of the suburban women, support he's lost since he took office. one thing throwing a kink into all of this is the indictment of the president's former advisor, steve bannon. because the president is trying to portray this as why he would not be a good president for america. he's still got his own issues he's dealing with, as he's preparing for his own convention next week. >> i mean, he's hired a roves gallery, at one point or another, of people who have been arrested, indicted, put in jail, accused. it's remarkable for a guy who ran on hiring the best people. i know you have new details on what to expect. >> reporter: yes. the president has been paying very close attention to what's going on at the democrat's convention, because basically, he wants to out shine theirs. one thing he's focussed on, according to aids, is he doesn't want a lot o

at the white house, shannon, thank you very much. >> and again, this afternoon, we are in scranton, pennsylvania, once known as a hub of coal production and industrial manufacturing. scranton has seen a steady economic decline over the past half century or so. but here, joe biden, who will accept the democratic nomination tonight, is known as the electric city's native son. despite representing neighboring delaware, biden was often referred to as the third senator from pennsylvania, due to both his physical and rhetorical proximity to the state. and he's made that connection to pennsylvania part of his campaign. biden frequently holds events in p.a. and cites his relationship with the crucial swing state as key to his electoral strategy, which is almost certainly why president trump will hold a campaign event here tonight, or this afternoon, while biden accepts the democratic nomination. a not so subtle reminder that the president won pennsylvania four years ago and hopes to do so again. with me now from wilmington is nbc news correspondent mike memoli and just down the road in old forge is nbc

states putting in a total of five events, another one tomorrow and joe biden's hometown of scranton, pennsylvaniae second day he is giving his acceptance speech. earlier today, kellyanne conway responded to the scathing critique that the former secretary of state john kerry gave of the president last night during the dnc. listen here. >> john kerry reminds us that we never are winners. he lost to president bush as the democratic nominee in 2004, and has since presided over the secretary. some of the worst deals, he never had the courage to try to go to north korea and do nuclearize it. they never did a deal like this president dead. >> we will go here for the president later on today. he has a 5:30 p.m. question and answer briefing and hopefully they'll be finished with the leaf blower so we will be able to hear him. i don't know if you can hear that, but it's loud. >> dana: you're coming through loud and clear. thank you. democrats trying to paint joe biden as the person who can bridge the gap in america while slamming president trump. >> if you want a president who defies it, spends hours watch

he comes from the heart of the middle class in scranton, pennsylvania.s a guy who really understands how things work in our lives. so rather than focus on the latest trump outrage, go back and talk -- just like jennifer did. we had 168,000 dead, god help us. we've got 10 million jobs lost. we've got young people who can't find jobs at all or children who can't go to school. in other words, talk about people's lives and how you'll make them better. i think that's -- if everybody just repeats what governor granholm just said, they're going to win. >> i've got to run, but we'll discuss this again next week and have so much more. we'll get you on after the dnc. thank you both. we'll be right back. but when you have the chase mobile app,. your bank can be virtually any place. so, when you get a check... you can deposit it from here. and you can see your transactions and check your balance from here. you can detect suspicious activity on your account from here. and you can pay your friends back from here. so when someone asks you, "where's your bank?" you can

when joe biden is expected to give his acceptance speech, he will rally in joe biden hometown scranton pennsylvania it back, live in the walkie, thank you. eric: as mike mentioned, the democrats meet and they will be shadowed all week by president trump, he is touring swing states this week, he stopped in arizona, minnesota, wisconsin and pennsylvania and a stop of joe biden's hometown of scranton pennsylvania right outside. outside of the trouble the trump campaign is playing in a very aggressive campaign during the new york national convention week, they will spend 10 million times i dollars this week on ads in major news sites and youtube they will target early voting states for more with what the president plans, let's go to fill the white house a presidential reporter for real clear politics. it does kick off tomorrow afternoon in oshkosh, the tour is called joe biden's failures on jobs and the economy. talk about counter punching and punching back, what to expect from the president? >> i think what we are going to see is rearguard action during the age of the coronavirus, not only is he going

just outside biden's birthplace in scranton, pennsylvania, with a potent political punch. we begin with corresponding peter doocy in wilmington tonight and a rare glints of the democratic nominee today. good evening. >> good evening, this is about to become the first-ever democratic convention driving. right now, made 100 small groups watching the nomination from their car and tonight's historic acceptance speech and we caught up with the former vp. he was not accepted to leave the house but the last minute he decided to do another walk-through. >> mr. vice president, how are you feeling today? >> last night kamala harris was the only one applauding at the end of her remarks in a room filled mostly with reporters and the trump campaign officials quickly pointed out that several of the supporters appearing via zoom or duplicates. trump supporter's are trying to own the air in delaware with the airplane that says joe biden is losing it. pro-trump 2020. >> las last nights theme seems e mostly about trim. of >> donald trump hasn't grown into the job because he can. >> barack o

>> dasha burns live in scranton, pennsylvania, ahead of the president's trip there, thank you much.so i'm about to say a sentence that no joke in 10,000 million years nobody would have ever predicted would have been uttered on television. the president of the united states is refusing to disavow conspiracy here toiests who think he's been secretly tapped to uncover a cult of satan worshipping pedophiles who eat their victims in a kabal that includes a-list celebrities, big-named democrats and the popes. this is not just a bunch of online crazy talk. this is dangerous in real life. the fbi i.d.'d qanon as a domestic terror threat. nbc news reports on this and the danger element facebook is cracking down on hundreds of pages and ads linked to the conspiracy theory that infected social media. here is the president had the his own words. >> i don't know much about the movement, other than i understand they like me very much. i've heard these are people that love our country. >> reporter: the theory there is this belief that you are secretly saving the world from this satanic cult of ped

just back from scranton, pennsylvania, from the white house, the president of the united states. mr. president, thanks for being with us. >> those are two familiar and great voices. >> sean: i agree on all points. lawrence jones was in scranton. literally and this is happening everywhere you go. he hasn't been there in decades but he claims his roots are in scranton. fracking and high paying jobs gone based on getting us off fossile fuel. ohio, pennsylvania, new mexico, west virginia, and i can go on. the impact would be devastating to the economy and we would be dependent on other countries for the lifeblood of the world's economy. wow! >> well, that's that's true. we are energy independent. it's not biden. i don't think he knows what it represents. bernie sanders and everybody else they are anti-fracking and anti-fossile fuel. our nation would go into a massive depression. you talk about pennsylvania and ohio and texas and oklahoma, they are anti-fracking. they could end it quickly and they will. >> sean: have you watched much of the democratic national convention this week? >>
