Butting our coverage of that Jack convention he will again tonight on the Fox Business Network but before -- -- -- in live from Charlotte watch this this is interest think.

Little bit and -- conversation last night without union leader Richard Trumka.

How would you distinguish.

Deal Republican -- that.

What I give a private capital risk private money basics it's directly.

This president is spending billions more and it's your money and it hasn't yielded results -- Richard -- say -- them.

Here's what I stated it.

If in fact you're creating jobs here that's good.

If you're spending money overseas -- you're hurting the country that's bad and here's I think our biggest challenge you know.

It used to be they corporations.

Had been seeing interest as our country there -- a line that's no longer true.

That's quite a comment -- -- joins us now from -- the convention managing editor of Fox Business.

Live from Charlotte and you know -- heard website certainly Wall Street message from somebody like Elizabeth Warren last night but this is an even bigger and wider message from my mr.

trump can your interview.

Well it's -- -- is that to a man and woman they stand by spending they said it's on the -- it's actually been beneficial it's helped the economy so rather run away from it -- fully.

Fully embracing.

I do notice that this is a -- it has been intent on fact -- Republicans.

Not so eager I -- Unita Republicans.

Trying to fact check the Democrats including.

Bill Clinton's speech last night it was a stem winder and as we.

Tried to clarify afterwards a number of date wound crowd remarks a former president made were simply not right.

We tried to begin a bar last night over the din and the noise here but one that particularly caught my -- in this is -- -- -- a lot of -- is that banks of the healthcare law.

Health care cost have come down that we know that -- Fox Business Network.

You have to be right or left and it's -- it's wrong and we don't have health -- placing coming down a lot of it has to do with just sort of -- and and if the environment that and that's it those that -- to growth in that it's gonna slow.

When the economy's lousy.

And it leaves out conveniently.

Insurance premium -- That that -- need to factor that out obviously.

It's not as bad it's like they do dip placing number two director of food and energy it's not such a problem well we can we we -- taxes I'm not -- that do the little.

The former president I am saying -- that.

Statistics are funny things that could be used -- both sides what I do find funny in this said.

This is coverage of the former president's remarks.

It's our own -- you know a lot of mergers saying -- Bill Clinton gets it done it couldn't deliver the message which is clearly Jan.

And Barack Obama.

Is -- that that that heavy lifting but.

What's it to see of that message when Bill Clinton talked about -- Republicans get their facts right I don't know whether Republicans or cowed or just.

Clearly fearful but they're not taking Bill Clinton on the same facts -- There's actually a lot Washington Post article this morning that goes -- even more of the numbers are things that Bill Clinton said that -- inaccurate about that the spending cuts.

That Obama proposes or that the deficit reduction -- but to that point watching the convention coverage and that Bill Clinton can win even narrative very well he's very at ease very very much like.

Itinerant preacher down south.

But this thing -- ends.

Is it.

Are they -- appealing only to the banks down there.

Book -- when people hear something like.

Health care inflation is in check the American people know that that's not true they just know it in innately without actually having to go and check those numbers.

Think do you think that I -- he's a he's talking to the base but will he reach -- woman president be able to reach anybody other than Democrats.

We don't always think to -- into -- today -- as the Republicans that addresses to.

We sometimes they dipped their preaching to their own -- -- -- and in this case there are.

20000 plus delegates in -- choir and they'll all be sitting here tonight from Barack Obama and -- -- that is -- -- but yet to get beyond this room.

You know maybe he'll in my -- guys I've I've been to a number -- -- -- every member.

The 1988 when very welcome Michael to -- is remembering got what.

Nearly twenty point bounce at a convention and everyone was what that are over and say you go Michael you go and -- was a speech.

They're brought to do it built into the world -- -- that very long.

You know nominating speech -- For Michael Dukakis now we know what happened that closing loss by a big amount.

I had no idea what happens is still around but you've got to be very careful that you're not just preaching to the -- it would be.

Like me address -- you know 20000 big guys -- like chicken wings and say this vegetable which is still bit.

Hello -- -- stand up.

I -- They had no -- I don't realize until.

That is.

20000 big guys who wore endorsing my view on chicken wings I thought -- need to see zero but to make a point sometimes to -- to -- crowd you risk alienating.

The larger audience and I would I would vote Republicans -- the same -- that -- they sometimes -- thinking that this message resonates.

Beyond the -- -- my non.

You know you're talking a moment ago about the Republicans haven't fired back and had Clinton and and Mitt Romney -- -- weird year because -- conventions are literally back to back so -- I forgot to be.

Hey look at me after my convention I got this XYZ -- and it was right to the Democrats.

And then we haven't seen really an all this week it's been all Paul Ryan he's out there I guess debating moved prepping for the debates of -- that's a -- -- he should be out there.

Make himself more visible.

You know they risk sort of a tradition of these states Donald that the the opposition party -- -- -- each part of this convention I think you're -- those rules are.

Don't buy that though though -- side here.

The fact of the matter is that given that the closest of these to conventions.

I think is only the second time in the past century that we've had them literally back to back like this.

There isn't much chance to get -- -- about whatever momentum Mitt Romney.

My daddy it might dissipate and we might go back to where we were before these debates is again.

I do think dead in the end it will be the economy stupid that decides that it will be the argument do you think.

That the trend as a friend if you want to debate whether we're better off for years now -- where we -- four years ago.

Clearly this administration Democrats here are saying.

Let's move that calendar up a little bit are you better than where you were on it to every 2010.

Because that's -- they say the recovery to called that's what they said the jobs growth and dig into your point about that -- -- post article today.

That's what it was alluded to the Democrats have mark to calendars.

Since February 2010 as the time the Obama recovery started -- Ignoring the year before that now.

That's perfectly there -- and you can play with these statistics so you want traditionally don't we judge jobs -- from January 20 when -- step in to that point in time now.

But but they did they're gonna argue the trend is their friend -- saw a very good ADP report today yeah but you some really seem weak manufacturing data this week.

It's going to be that trend and it's going to be whether the jobs growth that we've seen.

They gets to be more appreciable that it does not all the war open and tolerant and chicken wing -- -- president -- -- And we get a -- jobs -- the Friday before people go vote which is absolutely.

Very very big very telling and tomorrow right after the president's besides ideal as always we'll watch and night and thanks for joining us today and -- just earnings cry out for checking what you know -- right Tom you can't relate to this.

You can relate idle a chicken wings and we'll go to just an estimated doesn't have an alfalfa spread you don't touch another.

-- you'll find plenty of friends here are -- couples being man that's great tonight.
