But we begin with john roberts, who has moved a few blocks from the white house to the location where the rnc will get underway i guess tonight, you could argue. John, good afternoon. Where we are now is just outside of the auditorium in downtown washington. That is the washington, d. C. , headquarters for everything that is going on with the campaign. Even though the Main Convention is going on in charlotte. What the president is doing again today, as he did last week is really try to draw a sharp contrast between himself, biden, and the dnc in terms of just being out there. Unlike joe biden who spend most of the week cooped up in his home in wilmington, delaware. The president is following a more traditional route of Campaign Event sort of on a path to the convention, culminating with his speech on thursday night to the splendor of the south lawn of the white house. This afternoon, the president dropping into the Convention Site in charlotte, where the nomination was underway. The president slamming North Carolina governor roy cooper, whom the president said would not give the green light for the republicans to hold a full convention there. Listen to what the president said. The president said that he wanted to thank the people of North Carolina because to be honest with you, he says, he has an obligation to be here, sing the North Carolina has a governor in total shutdown mode, guaranteeing that on november 4th, it will all open. He believes that they want to keep things shutdown because they want to make the numbers look as bad as possible. The Trump Campaign today releasing what the agenda will be for a second trump term that includes jobs, 10 million new jobs in ten months, creating 1 million new small businesses, cutting taxes, trade deals, promising to eradicate coronavirus with a return to normal, and reliance on china, bring back 1 Million Manufacturing jobs, health care reform, education, defend the police, and protect American Workers and in America First foreign policy. The president warning again about mass unsolicited mail and voting continuing warnings that it could rig the election, accusing democrats of using coronavirus to try to steal the election. We are going to hear from the president , bill, at least two more times today at this event in North Carolina. And then tonight, the president will have an event with frontline workers in the coronavirus prices to say thank you to them, and there maybe Something Else that happens as well. Wwe will see. Bill we certainly will tonight when it happens. Going to make a speech in a matter of moments. About 30 minutes due south. So really on the western part of that state. I want to bring in Jacqui Heinrich now. Joe biden says he can win the presidency from his house. Good afternoon. Good afternoon, bill. The former Vice President spend the weekend at his beach house and remained here today, but the campaign is pumping out virtual counter programming. Underway right now is at town hall for the North Carolina youth vote, including a message from senator Kamala Harris. Painting the rnc as the tram convention, saying President Trump wont be able to reach struggling americans. Showcasing as many trump family members as republican speakers. Another significant endorsement today. Joining more than two dozen former g. O. P. Lawmakers, supporting biden for president. Facing questions of whether it is really possible to be President Trump from the comfort of his home. Including an in person event today, trying to build energy, but biden says his way has worked so far. I will toss it back to you. Bill jacqui, thank you for that. President trump but i want to just say this is some little gathering. From the heart. This is from the heart. So you know, we worked out a program where all the food that is being wasted goes to people and helping people during the pandemic, and you people produce the food like nobody produces the food, so we took care of it. We are actually doing today a one milliondollar program that is going to help everybody. Its going to be great. We are getting new records on the stock market. We just had new employment records. 9 Million People, jobs. [cheers and applause] we reduce taxes, we reduce regulations. Its all coming back so fast. You will see it. And the pandemic goes away. The vaccines are going to be, i believe, announced very soon. Last evening, we announced a very, very big therapeutic therapeutic something that really has been an incredible thing. This would have taken i wouldnt say years, maybe not many years, but it would have taken a long time to have got it approved. We got the fda to do and very quickly, so now we have another therapeutic, and it is really impressive. Convalescent do you know what that is . Hopefully you wont need it, but we have it. So many others are coming out now. The jobs they have done, the job our country has done has been amazing. We will talk about it on thursday. Is anybody going to be watching television on thursday . [cheers and applause] so we will be talking because really the jobs that we have done is incredible. Its incredible. None of us get any credit for it, and thats okay. As long as we have the end result, and the end result is we have to make people safe. We have to make our country safe. We have to build up our military, and now it is at a level its never been out before. Weve rebuilt our entire military. The wall, as you know, will soon be finished, and our border is secure. And i heard somebody on the other side say that they want to tear down the wall. Do you believe this . They want people they will say let the people come in. Well, we cant do that. We have a great country. Weve never done we are going to be prior to the plague coming in from china, the likes of which have never been seen, employment numbers, the stock market is just about said. All the things that were doing. To me, that is like a leading indicator. The economy is going to come back here next year, we are going to have one of the best years economically that we have ever had before. [cheers and applause] so, watch on thursday night. We just accepted the votes, and i guess the official acceptance is on thursday, but we just got a great delicate count. Mark meadows, is that right . [cheers and applause] from a wonderful state known as North Carolina, mark meadows. And he is going to have a great young man taking his place. But mark has been great. Our chief of staff, so i just want to thank everybody. This has been a real lovefest between North Carolina and trump. Its been incredible. Weve had tremendous success here, so last year you have the most successful year you ever had, and youre going to break the record again next year. They have been fantastic. And i think youre going to break your record from last ye year. So coming from china to be behind us. We will have the vaccine very soon, but it will be fading. Florida is getting much better. California is getting much better. You look at all of the different states. And we are going to be comparing that. The tremendous success that we have had compare to other plac places. So i just want to thank all of the people from North Carolina. You know, as you know, because of the shutdown, we wanted to have their convention here. And you have a governor that basically didnt want to play ball. Didnt want to do it. [boos] and by the way, dan forrest, hes great. And i think is going to do very well. But hes really a terrific guy, and hed be a terrific governor. I felt really an obligation to come here today to say hello to the people of North Carolina, and we appreciate your love, and i love you right back. Thank you all very much. Thank you very much. Take care of yourselves. Bill a most unconventional convention. The president has been seeing hour after hour today and will again. Corey lewandowski with me now. We dont have a ton of time now, as we watch every move the president makes, but what will america see . We are going to see the vision of the republicans have laid out, and what we want to continue to achieve. This president laid out some promises, and we will talk about the success that we have had. The deregulation, people who came here and succeeded. Why people flee those countries to come to the greatest country in the world. We want to talk about la whas the driver of this country, that when you have more money in your pocket, the government doesnt need to make decisions that you should be able to make for yourself. Americans are going to have a choice this november if they want to continue Going Forward or if they want to go backwards. Bill he has a record on the economy and on covid. If americans blame him for covid, how can he win . I dont think anybody blames the president for covid, but he acted swiftly at the beginning, he banned flights from mainland china. They called him a racist, xenophobic. Joe biden said it was a terrible decision. There is a way of being a leader and a way of being a follower. Joe bidens solution is to talk to the socalled experts and close the economy again. You have to have personal responsibility. If you are in a highrisk environment, dont put yourself in that category where you might contract the disease. Wash your hands, take personal responsibility. We cant be deciding as a government which businesses survive and which ones fail. The states that stayed open have done much better. Bill its how do you plan on winning suburban voters back . I think suburban voters want exactly what the urban voters want. Safety and security. They want their children to have the opportunity to go to school and learn. They want to make sure their businesses and homes are saved. Thats a complete contrast to what the democrats want. They want to defund the police and let individuals run through with complete accountability. We are a line order society. Bill what is the effect of losing Kellyanne Conway for this campaign . Kellyanne has been a big part of things from the time she joined us and manage the campaign. She has been such a great voice for the president. She will be missed, and our heart goes out to her. Both stepping back from their respective jobs. I understand that because our children should be our priority. Bill we will see you there. Corey, thank you for your time. Meanwhile, powerful storms that developed over the weekend could deliver a onetwo punch over the gulf coast. Stay tuned for more on that. Coming up. At philadelphia, we know what makes the perfect schmear of cream cheese. The recipe we invented over 145 years ago and me. The worlds best, and possibly only, schmelier. Philadelphia.

A small portion of the convention today. We want to bring in Chris Wallace for some analysis. How are you doing, my friend . I am going to show you the boa board. Everything in gray we think is a tossup right now, but this was North Carolina, chris, four years ago. New hampshire was Hillary Clinton and won the votes. You can forget about that. This is North Carolina four years ago. Out of 2. 5 million cast. 46. 2. As of today, chris, here is where the polling put all of the averages together. They are neck and neck. Lets call it what . 0. 6 . How do you see it breaking right now . What is your sense of that remark well, North Carolina, obviously, is a tossup. I think you would say joe biden is ahead. He has had a steady lead. Sometimes it goes to double ts. More often it is more around where it is now, around sevenpoint. So biden is leading, but this race is absolutely up for grabs. Youve got the Republican Convention. You got president ial debates. Who knows what happens to the coronavirus and the economy over the next 71 days . So you know, this is going to be fasten your seat belts. A bumpy ride. Bill just about everything that we have covered here. I was watching this throughout the day. You know it it reminded me of . Hes been popping up about every two hours. There are going to be surprises every night. Remember in cleveland 2016 . Ted cruz was on stage delivering a speech. I dont think it was the most flattering speech directed towards the nominee, trump, but he walked into the arena, and every head turned away from ted cruz, and they looked at President Trump in that arena, and thats kind of what were seeing again today. He is the trump show, hour after hour. I agree. We just saw a few moments ago, when he gets off the helicopter North Carolina, and he was supposed to deliver a short speech at the Convention Site in charlotte. He ended up speaking for an ho hour. It is clear that having watch the Democratic Convention for the last week, that donald trump is supercharged. As barack obama used to say, fired up and ready to go. Weve heard him several times, we will hear him one more time. Hes making at least two appearances tonight during the convention, and he may show up more than that. I think donald trump things, and the reason he shouldnt, that the best weapon donald trump has and the thing that appeals most to the trump base, is donald trump. If he is the top talent, the top star, why not put him on the stage as often as you can . Bill trump second term opening, democrats focus on character but ignored an agenda for workers. Chris, thank you, sir. Talk to you real soon. Nice to see you on a monday. Thats like special for us. We will take you there live in just a moment.
