[Music] The president is about 90 minutes away. We're outside of Pittsburgh right now. The president gets here in an hour. There's a malfunction with the flag. The team here is doing a great job of trying to fix the flag immediately before the

president arrives and walks on the stage from right here. How are you going to fix the flag? We're going to have to lower these two rooms until it slips down. Dave McCormick just had everyone chance fix that flag. We get the flag fixed in an

hour, we're going to get the flag un-pant, but we're going to swing it over, lower it behind the people to where we can get hands on it and make it manageable. Get it straight down, cable it back up, be ready to rock and roll again. Is there

any chance you can't make it happen by... We'll make it happen. Keep it off that power line and keep it off the crowd. You don't want anybody to get shocked.  Gu, it's alive. Getting shocked would be bad. Yeah, it's really heavy. That's a 30x60 flag, so

it's probably a couple hundred lbs. It's a little rough, so couple more people came to their rescue. We got her flipped over and we got it [Music] [Applause] [Music] f [Applause] [Music] [Music]

[Music] Tell me a little bit about how you're preparing for the debate. What's your strategy? Well, this is really the best strategy right here. We have all these people screaming questions and I look forward to the debate. Uh, we just did Faith and Freedom, as you know, in DC and

now we're here for a big rally about 10 minutes away at the Temple Arena. It's an honor, you know, when you go to these urban areas, specifically what is the game plan? It's no game plan, it's just there's a lot of love, you know they want

hope. The people need hope. I go out, I see the greatest people. So we're in the middle of a pretty rough area and it's a love fest, you see that? It's incredible. They want hope, they want to have, they want to have a future. Listen to the

people. Have you ever seen him in person? Nah, never seen him in person. For he better become president. I'm moving out of the country, so you're on the plane, right? What are you guys talking about? Making America great again. You think he's going to win for sure? You

got to. When did you start supporting Donald Trump? Like May, when I got out of like high school to really understand like the real world. Did you vote for him in 2016? Yes. In 2020? Yeah. And you're going to vote for him again? Yeah. Do you

think Biden's a worthy competitor for the debate? I think Biden is the worst president in the history of our country. Rightest country, ably. What do you think of Joe Biden? Trump, we're going, we're going to Trump. Who do you like as

VP? Do you like, you like JD? We're leading in Virginia, we're leading in Minnesota. That one hasn't been won since 1972. Who's the vice president pick that you're going to choose? We have a lot of them. You, I was just saying, who do you

like who do you like and there were so many different answers we have a lot of good ones I'll be announcing it right around the time of the convention I look forward to the debate but the debate's not the big deal the big deal is uh what have you done by the

way no [Applause] [Applause] tax tonight Trump saying his yet to be named running mate will be at the debate and that he's made his choice but hasn't told anyone who it will be Sources tell NBC News the focus has

been on three top contenders each with a history of being critical of Trump feeling confident before the debate yeah we're going to do fun I think you never know right you never know but I think we're going to do good CNN yeah what do you think of that well you got uh three

on one y but that's all right we got it before right that's true [Music] aowd minutes want go right at 7 exct [Music] 65 it's a beautiful Cloud a lot of energy you think Biden could do this I

don't think so play this down no one the best is right we have a lot and Elvis and all El so we got a lot James Brown best [Applause] energy you better up think cuz if you knew what you were doing you'd never do

here's a huge difference from years ago 100% no that's a great job everybody thank you fantastic job except Marco Georgia a key battleground state in the race for the White House the current US president will debate the former US president a first in American history

this is a pivotal moment between President Joe Biden and former president Donald Trump in their rematch for the nation's highest office on my drive here I saw throngs of people supporting Donald Trump I saw a handful of people protesting Donald Trump I did not see a single one supporting

Joe Biden we are so happy to roll out the red carpet because Georgia Georgia is Trump country former president Donald Trump touched down at Hartsfield Jackson International Airport greeted by a group of supporters near the tarmac the chair of the Republican party in DeKalb

county and we are going to vote DeKalb red and we're going to vote for president Trump like you never seen before you're going to make Joe Biden regret that he's standing there for an hour and a half you're going to eat his lunch

there is so much energy here people are really eagerly anticipating his arrival people have been out here for hours they said they wanted to make sure that they secured their spot and they got right up against the fence people are hungry to be proud of this country again and that energy is infectious

think something that Trump is bringing that nobody else has. That's it. That's it. [Applause] How we go with Donald Trump? We out here in Atlanta land, the streets know, the streets voting for Donald Trump. How do you think he's going to do in the debate? I think

Trump will obviously be victorious, win the debate. I just think it's great that he's out here showing people that he'll keep going in, you know, and stand up to the mob, you know what I'm saying? Which is, a lot of people are starting to

switch over, support Trump. Trump's definitely got the black vote back. Even the people over there, they confuse their brainwashed, black lives matter. They out here, black lives matter as a saying like, do black lives matter? Yes. Organizations are a crock of man, you know what I

mean? Joe Biden don't care about black people. How many homeless black people do those people drive by to come here to hang these signs up today? They drove by tons of them. Immigrants are getting this money all day. This is an immigrants' place right now. Trump is the only person out

here that wants us to make money. Trump is the only person out here that wants the economy to get good. He cares about your family. Joe, I don't care about your family. One thing about if you're going to support Trump and you want the battlegrounds like I am, get out of here.

Drive, make that extra drive, get out there, put your flags up. Don't be afraid to wear your hat, man. This is our country, we can wear our hats. We don't got to be afraid to wear our hats. Don't got to be afraid to rep Trump. You don't got to be afraid

to be proud that your president is trying to save your life, you know what I'm saying? There's no problem with that. Well, the stage is officially set, both candidates for tonight's debate are in Atlanta at this hour, gearing up for the debate set to take place in just 3 hours.

[Music] Joe Biden doesn't have a plan for America, Kamala Harris doesn't have a plan for America, so their focus on... let's get now here's what's called the spin room, and it's exactly that because this floor will be full of people who are campaign

aids or supporters spinning the message for their candidate and spinning the message of their challenger. Cory, you were here in a similar position what, 8 years ago? True. You and Hopeix were doing everything you're like a Twan band honestly, how's it different

now, oh, it's completely different. Donald Trump is a completely different candidate. He has a breadth of knowledge which he probably didn't possess 4 years ago or 8 years ago when we started this, that now is going to come out, and he's ready for tonight. He's to lay out

his vision for America. Donald Trump is the president of peace. If you want war, go the other way. If you want peace, I think Donald Trump's your man, and that's a big part of why he has my support. As [Music] well, I think people have come to realize

that our politics was being run by people who had forgotten that the source of our greatness was hardworking everyday Americans. Every country has rich people, every country has famous people, but they, for the people, led this country are completely isolated and out of touch with millions and millions of

hardworking Americans from all across the country and the priorities of our government were the priorities of white-collar workers living in New York who made a lot of money off globalization while, you know, the rest of the country was getting screwed by losing our factories and jobs. Trump tapped into it.

He gave voice to it, and uh, and I think the outrage over his candidacy revealed how out of touch the establishment in both parties had become. What do you expect from this? Obviously, he's about to walk into the CNN studio, which might be more dangerous than when he went to

North Korea. So what do you think's going to happen? I don't think those external things are going to impact Trump. This is the CNN presidential debate. Matter of days, he's going to be picking a vice president eventually, and you know, there's a lot of people in this room

that that are under contention for that. You're one of them, obviously. Um, when do you expect that call to come? Well, I don't know. That's his decision to make, but he, the good news is, he's got like 10 people to pick from that are all

better than Tom Harris, you know. So um, whoever he picks is going to be great. He's always good at picking people like that, and there may be people that aren't vice president that are in this room that are going to get a chance to serve

in other positions in his administration that are critically important. I think it matters who the Secretary of Treasury is, of Energy, uh, State, Attorney General. So the good news is we are blessed with a lot of really talented people, and uh, the Democratic party's got Joe Biden and KLA

hark I mean that's uh not very impressive and for Trump I mean his preparation has always been he's out there talking to voters giving speeches talking to people out there and you know that's the way he's always prepared I was joking on the bus and when I was

running for president it I was like we were there for 2 days getting ready and this guy would flying on his plane do the debate and leave and I'm like that guy's winning we're losing why don't we do that except we didn't have a plane

right now please welcome the 46th president of the United States Joe Biden Biden go up now right now what do you expect tonight do you think well you know I I I think we've made a mistake uh in the Republican side where

we've really lowered expectations if he comes out here and he has a pulse that means he's going to say oh Biden exceeded expectations when uh the standard is not are you able to stand up for 90 minutes it's are you actually able to deliver a

message uh so I think I I think that we have to be realistic here that it's going to be a disaster by any objective standard but the media has played the expectations game in a way that I think it's going to benefit Biden I think

Trump is just fundamentally way better so no matter how the media tries to spin it I think the average person watching at home is going to say well clearly one guy has the energy to do his job and one guy doesn't and I think that's the way

in which the debate will be best for Trump, but we'll see. I think the big advantage for Biden here is there's no audience, right? Like Trump feeds off people, which is important. Like when you're leading human beings, you have to be able to interact with them. I think

it's a huge disadvantage for Trump that they don't have. It's already starting out terribly for Biden, which is good. Um, I can't even understand him right now. No, any coughs in the... It just Biden does not sound good right now, so make sure we

reduce the price of the $15 for, for uh, a incident shot as opposed to $400. No senior has to pay more than $200 for any drug, all the drugs that could include beginning next year. His debt, we'll be able to help make sure that all those things

we need to do, Child Care, Elder Care, making sure that we continue to strengthen our healthcare system, making sure that we're able to make every single solitary person eligible for what I've been able to do with the uh, with with with the co-

excuse me, with um, dealing with everything we have to do with uh, look, if we finally beat Medicare, thank you President uh, Biden, President Trump. He, right, he did beat Medica, beat it to death. I really don't know what he said at the end of that

sentence. I don't think he knows what he said either. Look, he's the one to kill people with the bad water, including hundreds of thousands of people dying. We're so bad with Afghanistan. We are living in a rat's embarrassment, most embarrassing moment in the history of our country.

migrant crime our veterans are on the street they're you left American citizens behind suckers and losers the whole world is blowing up under him he should apologize to me right [Music] now right now as we speak there is a deep a wide and a very aggressive panic

in the Democratic party it started minutes into the debate and it continues right now I think the worst moments for Joe Biden really came at the very opening of the debate yeah they were a disaster for Biden I mean it's just not good it's bad for the country like I

said they're watching I mean our adversaries have television you know they have TVs and they they're going to get to see this and they make analysis about all this I think it was uh fairly embarrassing that the rest of the world gets to see this he didn't do well at

all uh he he did not do well at all the Biden campaign has collapsed disintegrated Joe Biden is clearly a man in Decline it's clear he's unfit to be president of the United States he's unfit to be an elected official but it

was an overwhelming win by President Trump do you feel like he did what he needed to do on on an issue that could motivate voters in the I think it's significantly insignificant they're already talking about trying to replace him look this debate tonight will have

long-term repercussions President Biden had one job tonight he had to settle his own party Joe Biden's job was to reassure them tonight he did not do that he did the opposite of that said okay Brant the end of Joe I think we hit him hard felt very

Good, he's a bad guy. Thank you. I think it's critical. If he were CEO and he turned in performance like that, would any corporation in America, any Fortune 500 corporation in America keep him on as CEO? Donald Trump had an amazing night. An

amazing debate ever. Wonder what food is served on Trump Force One? The meal is here: Double Quarter Pounder with cheese, 10 chicken nuggets, fries, warm Coke, obviously the sauces that you got here: tangy barbecue, ranch, two McDonald's ketchup packets. 

Meal of champions. Certainly a victory party tonight for the team up there. More fallout from President Joe Biden's poor debate performance this week. It has campaign surrogates on the defense less than 24 hours after that first big presidential debate. Trump in Virginia after

a strong debate last night. President Biden telling terrified Democrats that he's not going anywhere after a bumbling debate performance set off a full-blown panic and calls to step aside. He's holding crisis talks with his team today following a disastrous debate with Donald Trump. Shocked and horrified

Would you have been, Dave? Good morning. Were you like just the rest of us watching like this, just couldn't couldn't quite watch the screen just thinking, I mean, is this really the best America has to offer? Only about one in four voters think Biden has the

cognitive ability to serve as president. 34% think he shouldn't be running. [Music] During during uh, 2020, they advised him not to run. And I met him a couple of weeks ago and I said, 'We might be able to win this thing.' Come

on and so I was so pleased that the day after the debate, they said I'm coming to Virginia to cover the Yonan were told is going to appear with Trump and that would be the very first time both of these individuals appeared together during the campaign 2024.

what are people saying about [Music] this it's good to come up okay I'm going to bring up okay last night was amazing we had a great time I think we brought out a lot we brought out a lot of weakness from this gentleman he's a bad guy was never a

good guy and we're going to win big and Jill was talking form at this rally yeah well let's see what happens to him but he's a bad guy I've known that for a long time thank you hello Virginia did anybody last night watch a thing

called the debate he got the debate rule that he wanted he got the date that he wanted he got the network that he wanted crooked Joe Biden spent the entire week at Camp David resting working studying he studied very hard he studied so hard that he didn't know what the hell he was

doing hello Governor I can't miss this guy in the crowd but his son's much better looking than him [Music] [Applause] [Music] the backstage it's a beautiful night look at how many people are showing up for a

rally people understand what's going on in this country right now and it's just an honor to be a part of the movement to fight to take back our nation and give people back their rights in an insane crazy world I love when my sons and

family come you know it's really nice one of my sons a young man he just turned 18 who's now going to college got into every college he wanted to and but he is my boy Baron Trump stand up look at him Baron oh look at this hey you're pretty

popular I he might be more popular than Don and Eric we got to talk about that hey Don we got to talk about this huh welcome to the scene Baron I don't know exciting out there people are really the passion amazing through the roof bigger

than 16 bigger than 20 sum it up in one sentence how the 2024 campaign of Donald Trump is different than the 2020 campaign what is the biggest difference you notice in how this campaign's operating just execution if there's one word to describe it it's just execution

every single minute every single day you think people are surprised that has come back there's some people who were they were might have been skeptical but the big thing now is they're coming home they're coming home every single day every single week every single month

more and more people are coming home joining the movement backing President Trump um it's exciting to see and new polling from The Wall Street Journal shows Donald Trump expanding his lead yeah this poll first of all shows that uh the Joe Biden is trailing Donald Trump by about six points 4943 to

now six points over President Biden [Applause] [Music] Joe Biden reportedly anxious and angry over his reelection prospects I don't walk as easy as I used to I don't speak as smoothly as I used to I don't debate as well as I used to but I know

what I do know I know how to tell the truth He is staying in the race Biden vowing now to remain in the race but a new poll shows most voters would rather he bow out Demographically Joe is losing huge parts of his base Democrats the

Biden campaign the mob and the media they are all desperate and I mean desperate This guy's extremely dangerous Donald Trump is a one-man crime wave Trump is a threat to this nation Left-wing leaders including the president have regularly told their

constituents that Trump and his supporters by the way are xenophobic white nationalist Nazis Biden Kamala Harris the Obamas regularly imply or straight out say that Trump is a racist as though it's a given fact I mean just on Monday Biden was uh

telling his donors it was time to put Trump in the bullseye [Applause] There was really nothing unusual that day this is a big crowd It just felt like a normal rally day Secret Service asked us if we wanted to sit behind the

stage so I walked over to the fence line That's when I saw all the commotion going on What's happening right here on the RO I can hear the shot coming over Somebody just lost their life How could a gun get into this secure area Donald Trump was centimeters away from

not being with us God wants him alive [Music] [Music]
