Published: July 26, 2016, 8:03 p.m.

Live from the DNC in Philadelphia, Leslie is joined by Scott N. Paul, President of the Alliance for American Manufacturing (AAM), a partnership established by some of America’s leading manufacturers and the United Steelworkers union.

The two discuss how American manufacturing has been talked about by the speakers at the DNC, and how that compares to the speakers that were at the RNC. They also talk about how manufacturing is so very ingrained in our economy, and why it's so important for our country.

Leslie and Scott also discuss how despite Republican Nominee Donald Trump saying that he cares about American manufacturing, nearly all of the products that his businesses make are manufactured outside of the United States (in places like China, Mexico and Bangladesh).

Lastly, Leslie and Scott discuss Economist Gene Sperling saying that Hillary Clinton will be America’s manufacturing champion.
