1000. The airlines are taking it on the chin, first signs where so many in the industry seem to be tell of telegraphing problems, unless they get a new batch of a. The aid in march, april, may, is essentially running out. There is talk after 85 billiondollar relief package. No one agrees what it should be, when it shut be doled out. That is hitting airline stocks. Were watching that very closely. Were watching day two of the Republican Convention right now. Hillary vaughn following all of those developments for us. Hillary . Reporter neil, day one of the Republican National convention was really about President Trump and the Republican Party pitching themselves as the law and order party. What is interesting is when joe biden first got elected to the senate, he campaigned on exactly that, law and order. Every time Richard Nixon when i was running in 1972 would say law and order, the democratic mantra the response was, law and order with justice. Whatever that meant. I would say lock the s. O. B. S up. Reporter biden back then sound ad hot like Republican Party today, cities like portland whose streets are held hostage from protesters and rioters from 90 days violence. Democrats wont let you go to how much but let you protest. Democrats wont let you go to work but let you riot. Democrats wont let you go to school but let you loot. Reporter patty and Mark Mccloskey spoke at the convention. The st. Louis couple went viral when protesters broke into their community. But the Biden Campaign reacting today, to last nights convention saying that the violence and unrest that is happening right now is happening in President Trumps america, not joe biden es america. He never resorted to the kinds of tactics that donald trump is using like sending federal Law Enforcement into cities to inflame tensions. Reporter neil, even though law and order and violence on the streets did not come up on the dnc, the Biden Campaign is trying distance themselves from the Defund Police campaign that you hear from a lot of surrogates. Neil you swill hear today from melania trump. Can you set the stage for that . Reporter that speech will happen at the white house behind my shoulder. In the audience are going to be several of her friends a lot of women there. Of the point that she is going to make, is really one of unity, coming from her at the white house and, what is interesting, neil. She has had a platform that has pushed back against a lot of bullying and harsh rhetoric coming on both sides. So she certainly will try to portray a message as the unifier and a positive light and a positive voice from the party. Neil . Neil i also see that secretary of state mike pompeo is expected to speak. Now in his role of secretary of state, a lot of people have been saying could that be violating the hatch act . He argues, im speaking as just an average american, right . It is controversial moment, right . Could you lay the groundwork for that . Reporter it is and what is interesting there has been criticism because there are events happening at the white house. Were going to hear from secretary pompeo that the white house and taxpayers would be picking up the tab for this, that would violate the hatch act. We heard from Stephanie Grisham tried to allay concerns that anyone other than the Republican Party, other than the campaign would be picking up the tab for the events this week but you are going to see certainly from democrats a look at the numbers after this is all over to insure that none of this, no bill was ever sent other paid for by taxpayers or by the white house. Neil . Neil hillary, thank you very much. Hillary vaughn. We had another night of violence and uprising in the kenosha area, it spread to madison, wisconsin. All of this follows the shooting of jacob blake. It is indicated right now he will survive that, but paralyzed from the waist down. The unrest continues in the greater wisconsin area here. In fact throughout the state, there have been a number of protests and still more planned. Jonathan hunt with the latest from kenosha. Jonathan. Reporter neil, we have now a second night here in kenosha which was a passionate protest turned into out and out rioting. Hundreds gathered here at the county courthouse to begin with last night and then, after an 8 00 p. M. Curfew was attempted to be imposed by police, they moved on, about a mile away burned down several local businesses there was also sporadic looting taking place. Earlier as police tried to impose the 8 00 p. M. Curfew, the protesters lined on, opposite of them, threw fireworks at the police lines. The Police Responded with volleys of tear gas. All of this of course a result of sundays shooting of 29yearold jacob blake. In the video weve all seen several times now, the, several officers appeared to follow blake after an altercation. He leans back into his car. One of the officers grabs him about it shirt. Then we hear on that video seven shots fired. Now jacob blakes father, has told a chicago newspaper today, while his son is in stable but serious condition in a local hospital he is in fact paralyzed from the waist down. We do not have confirmation of that from the hospital or local authorities here but that is the word from jacob blakes father. The mayor of kenosha, yesterday, had a message for the blake family. Listen here. We are going to make sure that justices done for everyone. That people will have the right to make sure that the investigation is taken care of and is done correctly. Reporter now one thing we wont have in this investigation apparently, neil, is body camera footage. That is often so crucial in these kind of investigations but as we understand it, the Kenosha Police department budgeted for body cameras back in 2017 but never actually bought them. So as a result, not one of the officers involved in the situation in the incident with jacob blake was wearing a body camera. So the police chief, when he eventually comes out to talk to us give us the details is going to be very reliant on the firsthand accounts of those officers and of witnesses who were there at the time. But without body camera footage, there are a lot of gaps remaining in the story, how it all unfolded, neil. Neil jonathan hunt, thank you very much. Jonathan hunt in kenosha. Here with us vernon jordan, vernon jones i should say, he electrified at the 2020 Republican Convention. It was his comments more specifically on this mad rush to Defund Police departments that got the most vocal response. Take a look. Police officers are our fellow citizens. They live in our country. They have families too. They live in our communities. Unfortunately democrats have turned their backs on our brave Police Officers. They call it defunding. It is a danger to our cities, our neighborhoods, and our children. Isnt it ironic that democrat politicians have personal security to protect them. Neil that electrified that crowd. Vernon jones with us right now. Vernon, good to have you. Democrats have seized on this shooting of jacob blake as proof that the police can overdo it, that is working to their advantage, to keep that front and center, not worry so much about police and whether theyre offended. What do you say . Well, neil, they made this is a political issue because they dont have a record to run against or run on, going against donald trump who has a solid record of accomplishments. Many of them dont know a lot about Law Enforcement. I was fortunate enough to command a very large Police Department in georgia when i was county executive. Ive been on both sides of it. Ive been on sides where there were Police Officers involved in shootings that resulted in deaths. Ive also been on the side where individuals have shot and killed my Police Officers including two in one night. So in my heart and soul goes out to everybody, there are no winners. There should be protocol, when Police Officers are involved in shooting, i immediately had someone from the medical examiners office. The police chief would be there. The Georgia Bureau of investigation would be there and someone from the District Attorneys office. A fair investigation would be done. You had different eyes on this. When it is all done, it is wrapped up and given to the District Attorney to make that decision whether or not they want to indict. But i want tell you this, when that happens, you do want to take the officers or officer, put them on administrative leave. They are earn titled to due process. Let the facts come out. Too many times the media gets in it, involves getting peoples emotions into it. And so we need to take a deep breath, let the facts come out. Justice will be served. No one support as bad Police Officer but no one supports someone who can feel like they can just attack a Police Officer because his or her life is in danger as well. So the democrats, yeah, they would like to see more Police Officers shot. That is why lives dont matter to them. Politics matter to them. I hope, neil, in this situation, that those families and im glad that the mayor reached out to the family. You want to communicate with them. You dont want to hide anything. You dont want to hamper the investigation but you want to make sure the process is fair, that justice gets done. Neil i dont want to get too knee deep in this particular case, vernon. Of the video that you did see of the shooting of jacob blake, again we dont have a bodycam footage. There was none available, but what did you make of it . Well, if you look at what was shown as the individual is getting into the car and then the shot, shooting took place, it doesnt look good obviously. And i dont care who looks at it, they can say it doesnt look well. What happened . What was the breakdown . However, i have learned to look both ways before i cross. So lets wait until the all the evidence get out. I am not investigating this. I am not prosecuting this case or even thinking about prosecuting this place and neither is the public but i know the public sees what it sees and they have questions and thats a good thing. Those questions should be answered. So lets allow the process to take place, not politicize this. Reach out to the family members on both sides, because, Police Officers have families too, and they want their loved one to come home as well. They know the dangers that they face. Neil you know, you mentioned that because, a lot of eyebrows are raised with the wisconsin governor, tony evers reaction to this, he already made up his mind what happened based on that video, saying pretty much in support of mr. Blake, that he was shot in the back multiple times in broad daylight. In other words no, ifs, ands or buts about this. When a states governor, weighs in, says Something Like that, demonstrations, riots, are all but inevitable, arent they . Yeah. But let me tell you, i think the governor should call for calm and peace. I think the governor should call the local Police Department, the police chief, the District Attorneys office say, hey, listen any resources we can provide you all to help you, to do a thorough investigation and augment what youre doing, were here to help. But people want answers. They deserve answers. And lets make sure that this process go through in a swift but effective and fair manner. And so, it is okay, but dont make it political. That is what im afraid of. Ill tell you another thing, neil. Lets get used to this. There will be other officerinvolved shootings. It is almost as if were surprised there is another shooting. But there are people being killed every day. Where is the outrage when oneyearold, 8yearold, teenagers and children shot almost every weekend in chicago . And so it is almost only time you hear about a situation happening is when it involves a Police Officer and more specifically when it involves a white Police Officer. Now, a bad Police Officer is a bad Police Officer but that is not the majority. And let me say this too, the black community they support the Police Department. They want their neighborhoods to be safe. They want protection. They just want fairness and they want the officers to have integrity and treat them like theyre supposed to be treated. But with that being said, when a Police Officer asks you to do something you should obey the law. We should also emphasize that right now, that can stop a lot of thee situations from happening. When you ask that person, when the Law Enforcement ask you to do something, do it. At that scene, if you have a problem, then go to internal affairs. Lets get it investigated. That is not a good situation to be in, when officer tells you to obey them and they dont. Neil all right. Vernon jones, thank you very much for taking the time. Trying to provide calm in the middle of yet another racial storm. Thank you very, very much. Be well. In the meantime we are focusing on other developments like a dow down almost 200 points. We already know some of the prescriptions that joe biden has to make things right if he got elected president is raise taxes but he is not alone. A number about states are looking to make up for the shortfall in revenues theyre seeing. Largely because of the virus, by hiking taxes in new jersey, largely on the rich, and a lot. After this.

Neil all right ahead of a hurricane exxon not taking any chances going ahead and shutting down the beaumont, texas, refinery, this as laura churning in the gulf is expected to make landfall in texas. Could be louisiana as well in as little as 24 hours. Again as i say it could come up to a category 3 hurricane. Lets get the latest from Charles Westin ho joins us from baton rouge. Hey, charles. Reporter neil, hurricane laura is expected to make landfall near the louisiana border. Southern louisiana is taking all necessary preparations ahead of what is expected to be a strong hurricane. Governor John Bell Edwards says laura could be the strongest storm to hit here since 2005. This has the potential to be strongest hurricane to hit since hurricane rita and it happens to be taking at least, for now, a very similar track to hurricane rita. So we should all be very, very careful. Reporter people are taking the governors warning seriously. Folks are boarding up windows, laying sandbags, making sure they have essential items they need before laura arrives. Forecasters say the storm will bring several inches of rain and Hurricane Force winds. There are more than two dozen jack wages orders in evacuation orders in floodprone areas. The region could see lifethreatening storm surges anywhere between two and 11 feet. Well laura comes in, at a cat2 and were on a eastern side of it, it hits west of it, like theyre talking about doing at lake charles, you know, were going to be on the wetside. Not only the wet side but on the tidal surge side. Reporter laura has left its mark on the caribbean killing at least a dozen people including a young girl in haiti. The storm causing landslides and floods. And back here laura could bring winds up to 110 miles an hour when it hits in the next day or two. Neil . Neil holy cow. Charles watson, thank you for the update. Well watch it closely. Watching what a number of states are doing to financially prepare for storms they already experienced in new jersey, one of the first out the gate to offer a ninemont fist challenge year plan to get them over the hump t includes a dramatic hike in taxes on socalled millionaires but would entice and bring in more than just millionaires, raising the top rate in the state 8. 97 , to 10. 5 . Making it the priciest state for the well to do. Continuing a theme out of the Democratic National party. Joe biden saving he can raise four trillion dollars next 10 years targeting rich and companies with tax hikes limited to just them. Danielle dimartino booth that can hold water in the long run. It is what it is, danielle. Most states have to have budget in balance by the end of fiscal year. The new jersey saying how i will do it. Joe biden seems to be thinking the same way about going after the rich guys. What do you think . Well, you know, it could be worse. At least joe biden seal something 400,000 as opposed to what it was earlier on in the Obama Administration which was 250,000 you were deemed to be quoteunquote well think. We will see how things work out for certain states. New jersey is actually tried this game before and the higher it raises taxes the more it seems to shrink its tax base because taxpayers vote with their feet. They end up moving to states that have much lower or no income tax. So, you know, soaking the rich, it always sounds good. It is something great to talk about. On the other hand it doesnt play out well. To your point governors are in a very hard position they do have to balance their budgets. Well see if the state of new jersey will be welcomed by the bond market. Im hearing nine billion dollars of fresh debt being taken out possibly. Neil yeah. Also a hike, you know, another increase of a buck 65 on each pack of cigarettes sold in the state, on and on. Youre right. He has been blocked in the past by surtax on the wealthy by a Democratic Legislature fearing what you said. It might be a little different this time because he is in a pickle here and, he has got to do something. Im just wondering what the fallout would be, in other words, if state after state institutes such policies, and then President Biden gets in, if that were to happen and does it on the National Level what then . Well, then youre going to see people a lot more cash constrained in an economy that is driven by consumption and that is just a fact of life. Even here in the great state of texas where there is no state income tax, just mention the word property taxes people automatically sit up and Pay Attention, because we know we have high property taxes down here. At some point somebody has to pay the bill. You cant pick up the phone in the event that somebody is having a heart attack, dial 911, and have nobody show up. Those are the simple facts of life. A lot of red at this sense and pushback from the gop, so many states in deep fiscal straight, such as illinois, new jersey, have had Public Pensions running wild for years. A lot of the reason their coffers are as dry as they are is because they have constantly been funneling funds to cover for that. So, again, we understand the animosity by the same token we cannot not have public services. Sew there is very difficult positions to be made Going Forward. Nobody is talking about the bogeyman of u. S. Federal debt headed to 2trillion dollars, who on earth pay for that outside of the tooth fairy . At some time adults have to rationally speak about the bills racked up whether on the state level or federal level. Neil youre right about that. Were get together stage you cant put it off any longer. Danielle, thank you very much. Were hearing, this was no big surprise, a florida judge blocked an order requiring inperson learning during the pandemic. How does that affect the reopening of rest of florida schools in the next two days . State senator rick scott on that, much more after this. calm inspirational music i cant stop worrying.

Gillian turner taking a closer look at that in washington. Hey, gillian. Reporter neil, good afternoon to you. Fox news is learning more about the nationwide push to overhaul curriculum, to bring them more to the goals of black lives matter. Most of them families straight down the line tell us they want to see a change. They mandate black history and studies from k through 12. Reporter in the wake of the death of george floyd and briana taylor, educators say it is time to round out history lessons in particular, make them represent the central role that black americans have played. What we found there is not enough recognition of the tremendous role that africanamericans have had in creating the United States, as a matter of fact. So what we do to compliment is to really make sure that our scholars see the bright spots. Reporter now the stats do back up that feeling. According to the most recent polls, 81 of american teachers support the black lives Matter Movement and its goals. Ad administrators say a more accurate understanding of racial issues should naturally originate in the classroom. Listen. The clear example for us as the first Computer Science middle school in washington, d. C. , is all of the figures in hidden figures. They have to hear stormries of the Katherine Johnsons and Computer Sciences, innovators who helped create wonderful solutions that have made not just your Community Great but our role better. Reporter now, neil, talking to sources in education, they tell us the catch here or really the challenge is cost. They say in the middle of this pandemic schools are already overburdened by spiraling costs to try to keep their kids safe and healthy. So now to start revising curriculum on top of it is something that would be very, very expensive. Neil . Neil all right. Thank you very much. Gillian turner on all of that. Speaking of schools, they are reopening across the country. As you know in florida by the end of the week they want to make sure all kids can get back and in person but right now a judge slapping down essentially the edict said that had to be the case. Right now the state is appealing it. Into the mix, rick scott, former governor of florida. Now senator. Senator, what do you make of this move . I mean the state obviously wants kids in classes, in person. Many, Teachers Union argue in the state it would be better if we started off virtually. Where are you on this . Where does this stand right now . I think our schools need to open and our parents need to have a choice. Some parents will want to send their children back to school. Some parents will want Distance Learning. They have got to have choice. At the federal level we sent 30 billion down to the states i think over 7 billion to that for the cares act, specifically for the schools to help them get reopened. Make sure they have the protective gear they need. We on top of that, sent 150 down to the states to make sure it has to be done safely. The schools need to be open. The kids want to get back to learning. Some of it will be Distance Learning. They need to have an option. Neil now you have grandkids going to school in florida. What are they going to do . Well, i got two sets of grandkids. One lives in texas. Theyre still figuring out what theyre going to go do. The one here is, part of, they have got five little boys. Some are going back to school. Some will do Distance Learning. Neil i like what you were saving at the outset, senator, maybe help paints parents make that choice. Dont force them one way or the other. It is lopsidedly virtual, youre worried about that. Explain. Here is what we all know, some kids do Distance Learning better, online. Florida has got a great online curriculum Education System in our state. But some kids do better in school and some parents need their children to be in school. That is why i think parents ought to have a choice. They ought to have a choice. Do you want to send your child back to school . Do you want to try Distance Learning . You know people will figure this out. We all distanced for a while. My grandkids all distance learned for a while. My daughters right now theyre still looking. Some are going back. Some are going to do Distance Learning. Neil this issue about kids when they go back to school in person or not, the law and order issue, theyre competing top burner issues for voters and im wondering how they play out this fall . What do you think . Well, i think andy pollak, who is a daughter at parkland did a great job at the convention explaining why the schools need to be safe. As governor eight years, what do people care about . They want a job, they want their kids to get a great education and they want to live in a safe community. Those are the most important things for every american. Unfortunately for the fall this democrats, many taking the tact that are defunding the police. Not clearly supporting Law Enforcement. I think that will hurt democrats in the fall. Neil senator, thank you very much, be well, healthy. Senator rick scott. Beautiful state of florida. By the way the president just tweeted out hess choice to be the Homeland Security secretary. It is going to be chad wolf. Right now this is effective placed him in nomination, saying chad has done an outstanding jobe.

Come on in, were open. All we do is hand you the bag. Simple. Done. We adapt and we change. You know, you just figure it out. Weve just been finding a way to keep on pushing. Neil all right. Forget about the rolling blackouts right now. What is this going to be like for california for years, maybe even decades if these rolling blackouts become so routine there is nothing the state can do to turn things around anytime soon because it had put in place other measures that didnt come to fruition, like clean energy, that wasnt quite ready for prime time, that leaves them exposed to what were seeing right now . Jackie deangelis is looking at all of that. Hey, jackie. Reporter good afternoon, to you, neil. Thats right. California in the eyes of some is facing an Energy Crisis here. I want you to look at the numbers, so you have context what is happening. Between 2014 and 2018 california transitioned away to natural gasfired power plants by about 21 and increased Renewable Energy by 54 t changed the way it was functioning on its grade and consuming energy. It depend as little bit on imported power, mainly hydropower from other states, to the tune of 25 . The california has almost entirely eliminated usage of coal for power usage. The grid is stressed, no denying it. Rolling blackouts, heat waves. California independent system operator and california edison said they can see a power deficit by 2021. Listen to this, the Energy Secretary was on our air this morning and he had a comment here. There has been a rush to renewable power, generation power. They focus their investments there rather than on things like transmission lines and distribution lines which in some cases may have caused some of these fires. But its a case study, stuart in how not to approach our electricity grid. Reporter so Governor Newsom earlier this month blamed it on the grid operators saying quote, their failure to predict these shortages is unacceptable, particular hi given our states work to combat Climate Change. California is not the only state that wanted to reduce its carbon footprint. So did new york. The plan here was eliminate grid emissions by 2040, maybe a more realistic goal was set. 70 of Power Generation from renewable sources by 2030. That would be up from the 27 in 2018. So a big drastic jump but over a longer span of time. So as california governor is sort of pointing fingers here, there are some asking why state leaders were not more realistic in implementing some of these policies . You have even got the New York Times saying poor plan something to blame here. Right now when the States Energy demand peaks, california finds itself in a deficit, forced to find replacement of power of up to 25 to 50 of what is needed to literally keep the lights on. This as the environment and Climate Change are top of list on the democrats agenda, neil. So a lot of people wondering if the plans that are in place are even functional or working . Neil well, for now theyre not, that is pretty obvious. Jackie, thank you very, very much. That was very interesting. Jackie deangelis. Now, law and order issue has been a big ones for republicans to pounce on. Then we get the shooting of jacob blake. The democrats say exposes the weakness in focusing only on cops. How both sides are playing this after this. An army family who is always at the ready. So when they got a little surprise. Two . They didnt panic. They got a bigger car for their soontobebigger family. After shopping around for insurance, they called usaa who helped find the right coverage for them and even some muchneeded savings. That was the easy part. Usaa insurance is made the way liz and mike need it easy. Neil all right, we do know that chinese and u. S. Negotiating teams are talking about the chinese being good on phase one of that deal. It calls for the chinese buying a lot more corn, soybeans, things like that. We dont hear a lot about american beef or whether those purchases are going up amid new standards in effect for beef being sold and processed in this country. Garrett tenney with more on all of these developments that are a big concern to farmers to put it mildly. Garrett. Reporter neil, it is pair to say ranchers have a bit of a beef with democratic proposals such as the Green New Deal which calls for americans to eat less red meat. That is factor in the president ial race in iowa. The Trump Campaign is reminding voters here of what Kamala Harris said at a cnn town hall almost exactly one year ago. Would you support changing the dietary guidelines . Yes. The food pyramid, to reduce red meat specifically . Yes, i would. Senator Kamala Harris said she would change the dietary guidelines in this country to reduce the amount of red meat americans can eat. [booing] were not going to let joe biden and Kamala Harris cut americas meat. Reporter the cattle industry is a big part of iowas economy. As of 2017 it contributed 6. 8 billion, supported 28,000 jobs according iowa beef industry council. Rancher dan says all the farmers he knows, are 100 behind President Trump. This floats the economy. The gas man will tell you that. The local Convenience Store will tell you that. Local lumber companies. Construction. It literally trickles down from here. Reporter meat producers have already been hit hard by the pandemic. Here in iowa, many are also recovering from the devastating derecho storm that hit. The head of Democratic Party says lack of producing meat would hurt producers he argues there is a lot of opportunity for iowa as plantbased meat grows. We will find other markets, other things, other pauls of the economy will pick up to replace that maybe more specialty, maybe more grass fed beef, you know. When you do eat red meat, a Higher Quality of meat as well. Reporter President Trump turned iowa red in 2016 winning nye nine points but democrats here are feeling optimistic after flipping two of the state as congressional seats in the midterm elections. Neil . Neil garrett, thank you very, very much. While he is here, i want to get congressman Henry Cuellars thoughts. Democratic congressman. Very good to have you, but the outcry were hearing from these iowa farmers on the democratic ticket, maybe democrats in general lecturing them about meat, about dietary guidelines and that they are going to be big brother coming in, if they get in, what do you say . Well, listen i, nobody is talking about big brother. I was raised on a ranch. [inaudible]. Future farmers of america. I sit on the ag committee. Ive been on the ag committee in many years. I support my ranchers and my farmers because agriculture is a big part of our economy, not only in texas but in so many other states. We got to make sure that we have great policies that allow our ag folks to be able to export to other countries and at the same time be selfsufficient when it comes to food. Neil but you didnt really answer my question. That is nice. This idea that the democrats are going to start changing our food guidelines and that could hurt these guys, what do you think of that . Well, listen, that might be some voices say certain things but at the end of the day it will be congress and knowing my fellow colleagues, i do know, just like there are some extremes on the left, there are extremes on the right, and i think congress as a whole will make sure that red meat is participate of our diet. Neil nicely answered. I also want to get your thoughts on the president saying that these polls in texas, that show the race is closer than thought, he just doesnt buy them because this is the ticket that wants to end or severely curtail fracking, that doesnt like fossil fuels, says what is going on in california is a preview of coming attractions, with blackouts, rolling blackouts, brownouts, all of that. Youre in texas. That is a big energy state. What do you think of all of that . Of course, im a, in fact i have the eagleford which is a big energy patch. Im supporter of the energy sector. They create thousands of jobs, money provided by schools and our roads and i support the energy. Just like on the ag there might be some voices that will say certain things but look, look, some people have a problem with fossil fuel. I do understand theyre has to be a transition, anybody thinks that there will be a transition from day one to day two, it will not happen. We want to see transition. In texas were number one in oil and gas in the country but were number one in wind in the country. We can find that balance. I think democrats will find that balance. Neil you know, the jacob blake tragic shooting in wisconsin has reignited the entire debate on law and order. Im sure youre aware sir, violence, demonstrations two days running. First kenosha, spread to madison, wisconsin, the capital. More such demonstrations now. Do you think the republicans pounding law and order and reaction we get to these tragic incidents is playing to their favor . You know, again, i think things voices on the far left and far right, but i will tell you, i have got three brothers are Police Officers. One is a sheriff on the border. I support Law Enforcement. In fact when i run, whether it is the Sheriffs Association or the Border Patrol or whether it is the Police Association or the statewide, they all support me because i believe in law and order. There are democrats that believe in law and order. I dont believe in defunding the police. That we need to reform it . Of course we need to do that but if there is a bad apple, you go after the ad the after bad appl. You dont paint all men and women with the same paintbrush. I think it is wrong for anybody to do that. Neil as issues come up in your platform, is discovered that, 3,000 farmers and 62 delegates voted for that platform. More than 1000 voted against it. Is there a real serious difference of opinion within the party on some of these Big Government moves . You know anytime you build a platform, you are going to have deficits, just like the democrats have deficits. Republicans took the easy way out. They didnt put a platform out. They said support trump for four more years. That is not a platform with all due respect. So yes, there are going to be some differences. But at the end of the day, well move together united even though there are some different voices. Neil congressman cuellar, great catching up with you. We threw a lot of news items. Always great talking with you. Thank you very much.

Neil all right, what the market giveth, it can taketh back especially when apple after hitting record highs, well over 500 a share, surrender or some of that ground. Of course, it splits its stock after the end of the trading day on friday, and there are going to be a whole bunch of al capones coming up, theyve changed the whole thing. In the meantime, living true to being coast to coast, in new york city Governor Cuomo says all the major airports in the area will have covid19 testing in place and soon. Were learning a lot more about hurricane laura rah, that she could be a much bigger and more severe storm than earlier thought, possibly a category three hurricane setting its sights on the likes of texas and louisiana as soon as tomorrow. And then as the nfl gets ready to resume games in a little more than a couple of weeks, Joe Theismann on what we have to look forward to or maybe not look forward to, fans in the stands, not fans in the stands. Joes coming up. In the meantime, the latest on those the riots by the fear of the killing of a black man, looks like he could be a paralyzed from all of this. We dont know for sure, what we do know is it has erupted into two nights of violence throughout wisconsin. Were going to be talking to former governor there, scott walker, on the messages this is sending and what the present golf is saying, but first, Grady Trimble with the latest. Reporter neil, this building is one of the casualties of last nights rioting here, and you can see this building is still smoldering this morning even though the fire was set last night. This is the Wisconsin Department of corrections administrative building. We have videos from just a couple of hours ago, crews already knocking down the remaining walls, leaving this rubble that you see here. And what happened yesterday evening and into the night is protests started downtown near the courthouse that youve seen over the past couple of days, but then they moved to this street which is about 57 blocks from downtown, and they started hitting businesses along the way. They hit a tire store, they hit a Furniture Store and lit that on fire. They hit a used clothing and other items store. We talked to the owner of that used tire store, and she told us her father started this business in the 1960s, and she watched just after looters hit it last night and took her safe and other belongings from inside. Listen. My fathers legacy. I just dont get it. Hes been an icon in this town for decades. Its just horrible. He would be so ashamed right now. He would be so heart broken if he came in here and saw all this. Im sorry. Reporter and this was the second night of protests here in kenosha. As you mentioned, neil, all of this started went police shot jacob blake at least seven times. Benjamin crump, an attorney for the blake family, says that he is still alive, but he is paralyzed from the waist down. He says we dont know yet if that will be permanent. Crump, by the way, is expected to speak around 4 00 eastern this evening here on the ground in dekenosha in front of that courthouse which has been at the center of several of the last nights riots. This is what were seeing, several buildings like this, neil, burnt to the ground and businesses destroyed, family legacies gone and people without a lively hood. Livelihood. Neil so meaningless. Grady trimble, thank you very, very much. The read from the former wisconsin governor, scott walker, who joins us right now. Governor, good to have you. Many have said that officials in the state are actually heightening the anxiety around this. The wisconsin governor, tony evers, had issued a statement that seemed to be totally antipolice, in support of we dont know the details, but saying that he was shot in the back multiple times in broad call. We dont know all the details of the shooting. We do know that body cams and footage like that are not available and wont be available because the officers involved didnt have them. I am curious about his response without knowing for sure the details of this. Well, the whole thing is just tragic. Its tragic for the blake family, tragic for the Law Enforcement community in southeastern wisconsin, kenosha county, throughout that area. I love kenosha, ive been there, obviously, many times as governor and many times before that. What is going to go forward though is is an independent investigation. In fact, Wisconsin Department of justice will be involved in this, and theyll look at whatever other pieces of information beyond just the video thats been so widely viewed across the country. But unfortunately, democrats like joe biden and even governor evers here in wisconsin have leapfrogged the entire process in a way that, i believe, they didnt do this outright, but theyve almost encouraged people to go forward with the rioting which, as we just heard in that segment, causing incredible damage and harm to the people who live in that very community. Neil im just wondering what happens now. Im sure, governor, youve had a chance to look at the footage that you saw. Its hard to make sense of what happened and why it happened and the succession with which it happened. It doesnt look good, and im just wondering where you think this goes because, obviously, theyre planning some more demonstrations. You know how out of hand it got over the last couple of nights. What do you think . Again, i dont want to jump ahead without knowing all the details, and hopefully theres other footage or ways to see what happened. Obviously, you can see the gentleman getting into the vehicle and Law Enforcement officials, i know over the years, have talked about how very dangerous it is at a time like that. But well is have to leave that to the people involved in the independent investigation. But i hope people would recognize where it has been obvious, as it was in minneapolis with george floyd, no one came to his defense, and, in fact, the prosecutors in that community have charged the former officer who was involved in that. In other cases sometimes theres pressure if, but people look at the facts, multiple pieces of evidence and realize it was justified. I dont know whats going to happen in this case. What i do know is that leaders at the local are, state and federal level have to speak out about violence. The rioting does no good, it only causes more harm, more danger. We can make changes, tim scott talked about it last night. He had a a bill that could have bass passed on a broad bipartisan basis in the United States senate. We passed a bill like that in wisconsin, i was proud to sign that law. Again, it had broadbased support, an independent review that gives it to an independent body to look into things like this. We need to do more things like that, but we cannot rush to just allow rioters to go forward. And i think the governor here needs to bring out more members of the National Guard game control, go forth independently and see where the facts take us. Neil golf scott walker Governor Scott walker, thank you very much. We have gotten word that the governor there has, indeed, called on the National Guard. We dont know the number of troops or how much help will be provided, but he has at least requested it. Also keeping an eye on states coming out of the covid19 virus with, well, some viruses of their own, fiscal viruses. Theyre running huge deficits, and most states, about 44 of them, have to balance the books by the end of the fiscal year. Theyve changed the fiscal year a little bit in the state of new jersey, but that doesnt hold off on some of the solutions that theyre going to have to come up with. For governor murphy there, tax hikes are a way to do it. Lauren netty follow simonetti following all of that. Reporter i got it, neil. New jerseys governor, phil murphy, has just proposed a 32 budge. The state legislature has just one month to finalize it. It cuts 1. 2 billion in spending, but it adds 4 with billion in new debt and pile ifs on the taxes. Among us, millionaires and large corporations, need to pay their fair share in taxes. Ether ithe br er hr onom ienc r erytevhierngyt ththax col are comingominglfk o from peopl peeo pe makakinak ben their taxr rtaatxe r r going uo 10. 7. 7 new jerseyans alrea pay the thee higheshit phiperthiy taxes innnt ti r. St yr. R. Iragira aboutbo88ut00 all rig, if if you y y a aoat,n exemptiopt aptnd and cap on thex will be undone. If you smoke, taxes rising to 4. 35 for a pack of cigarettes. If you own a gun, youd pay higher taxes on both the firearm and the ammunition. And then this, the 2. 5 corporate surtax, thats going to be made permanent. The governor canceling the expected decline. All in, these tax increases would generate a billion dollars in new revenue, partially offsetting the spending cuts x. Then, neil, this is a first of its kind, its referred to as a baby bond. Its a 1,000 savings account that would be set is up by new jersey for every baby born next year to a low are income family. The bond will grow with the child and eventually be used to help pay for college or buy a home. So thats how the state is answering income inequality. As for schools, no cuts. As for pensions, no cuts. In fact, governor murphy pledging a record near 5 billion pension contribution. And hes leaving more than 2 billion as a surplus, a rainy day fund, to address potentially a second coronavirus shutdown, neil. Neil all right. Wow, just staggering. Very creative to get more money in. So much with the money that goes out, but well see. Lauren simonetti, thank you very much. And lauren hinted at this, the Democratic Legislature in the past has blocked the surtaxes, Corporate Taxes saying there are ways of chasing focusing out of folks out of the astronaut. The governor saying the situation is much more perilous. To phil wegmann, real clear Politics White House reporter. Phil, one of the lines i always hear about the rich, they have to pay their fair share. That was the argument new jersey used when they raised the surtax on the wealthy by two percentage points, they were back to paying their fair share. Now he wants to lift it up another two points, which would be the nations highest, that presumably is the fair share. I e get nervous when i hear fair share [laughter] because that tends to spread out a little bit. What about you . Well, whats interesting here is that as different statements have different definitions of fair share, voters end up making decisions by voting with their feet. And what were seeing in new jersey is not that different than a discussion we were having in new york not long ago when you saw alexandria ocasiocortez, the congresswoman asked the governor to increase taxes, and he made the argument that if you did that, that you would actually lose some of your industrial base. And that would be harmful in the long term. This is a discussion that i think is is going to happen on the left, and i think its going to be interesting to see some democratic politicians starting to make almost conservative arguments about the tax code when they look around and realize that some of these businesses, some of these wealthy people that they want to tax might just with leave. Neil well, its happened, certainly, in other states. Its happening in new jersey, its happening in california, so much so that a democratic assemblyman there i talk to is is ad sew candidating a tax advocating a tax if they threaten to leave, even if they do leave, the money and assets they accumulated in california would be taxed for years to come. That rather novel, but it does show you the direction a lot of these guys are going. Yeah, absolutely. And whos going to benefit from this . Its going to be the states who have lower Corporate Tax rates, the states that have lower income tax and and, you know, its not unusual, for instance, you know, even in the midwest for the governor of indiana to make overtures to governors in illinois excuse me, to voters in illinois and ohio telling them to just cross state lines. I think that neil right. Sort of thing eventually well see much more of. And there is a heightening attention because so much has been spent in response to the coronavirus, i think this also ties in, in a large way, to house and Senate Democrats asking for more releaf for local and relief for local and state governments. Neil you know, im not going to lie to you, im pretty good at math, money in, money out. And i know when joe biden proposed 4 trillion in higher taxes, i guess thats fine, but hes proposed more than 6 trillion in more spending. [audio difficulty] that either means hes outpaying taxes and now its half of all filers, i think ive seen this, this movie before. [laughter] yeah. I think that what the republicans are going to continue to do throughout their convention is up violate voters invite voters to do that political rivet me tick at home and probably come to the conclusion that they want which is for voters to say, well, we cant afford this. What is interesting though and what we cant forget is that, you know, President Trump came to d. C. Promising he was going to be a dealmaker, and yet hes made numerous deals with house and Senate Democrats, and each time it say seems the deficits get bigger and get larger. Neil absolutely. It likely is not going to be too long until theres going to be some sort of fiscal crisis where the old problems of social security, medicare and medicaid, you know, those unfunded programs, you know, could create new problems if he wins a second term. And at that point, he might have to go back on some of those Campaign Promises where he promised never to touch those entitlement programs. Neil well, both parties have absolved any respondent respondent for looking a after our tax dough. Chickens come home to roost eventually. Theyre getting pretty close. Phil, always good talking to you. Looking at these numbers, money in, money out, whether youre on the right or the left, whether youre conservative or liberal, just look at the numbers. They dont add up. Not even close. Not even close. More after this. Hike Simon Pagenaud takes the lead at the indy 500 coming to the green flag, racing at daytona. Theyre off. In the kentucky derby. Rory mcllroy is a two time champion at east lake. He scores stanley cup champions touchdown only mahomes. The big events are back and xfinity is your home for the return of live sports. I appreciate what makes each person unique. Thats why i like liberty mutual. They get that no two people are alike and customize your Car Insurance so you only pay for what you need. Almost done. What do you think . I dont see it. Only pay for what you need. Liberty. Liberty. Liberty. Liberty. Neil you know, this is a staggering number. This is coming off the university of alabama. In less than a week, 566 coronavirus cases reported. This on the heels of a sudden uptick at the university of notre dame involving at least three dozen students. They gather, sometimes theyre following rules, and they still catch the virus. It comes at a time too when schools were hoping to reopen in personal chats. University of alabama, obviously, has to look at that and how they continue with the class structure they have right now. But it is just remarkable to me how contagious this is even when people are following the guidelines. They gather e, they come together, boom, cases increase. Weve seen that when baseball resumed, you remember the miami marlins, a host of other teams, the cardinals. Where people come together, staff members, players got the virus. Now were going to see football resume, pretty soon you could see a spike in cases as they do so. But a number of teams are looking at the possibility of keeping it in control on the field and with the players and the staff but not without abandoning at least some people, some fans in the stands. The dolphins among the many teams, the Kansas City Chiefs another that want anywhere from 1015,000 fans in those stands. Joe theismann, one of the greatest quarterbacks of all time, with us right now, super bowl champ, much, much more. Joe, good to have you, my friend. Thank you. Thank you, neil. Its always good to catch up with you. Neil same here. I dont know what it is about this virus, joe, that it just accelerates on its own. And now the nfl, you know, we can get into whether fans should be in the stands, but we know whats happened with baseball, right . When they start, they stumble out of the gate because people get this thing. Are you envisioning that for football . Not as, not as much as weve seen in the other sports, and i think football has the benefit of being the fourth basic big sport to start. Weve seen baseball, basketball and hockey all go through growing pains and protocol that they want to establish and create safety for the players. Footballs had the benefit now to see what other professional sports have done and then is have a chance to be able to do the things that they need to do. We havent heard a lot of reported cases from the practices that have been going on now for over a week when it comes to full contact, which i think is a good thing. But i think football has benefited from the other professional sports. As far as the fans go, in 74 i played at rfk stadium that seated 55,000, it was a strike year and there were 3,000 people in the stands, and you didnt know they were there. There was an echo that went through the stadium. I really feel allowing 13,000 or 15,000 fans into a stadium that seats 60 or 70,000 is not going to create a noise factor or an advantage for any home team at the present time right now. But i think its a start. Im glad that were giving it a chance. Im glad that some of the states are allowing the teams to be able to do that so we can get a feel for what can happen maybe Going Forward. Maybe we get to 50 capacity like we have with restaurants in the mid season. You dont know. But at least its a start. Neil you know, you dont even know too whether if you do have a spike in cases, whether theyll just abandon thatment i mean, thats been happening with College Football where some players on the team test positive for the virus, the next thing you know one conference after another is canceling the season. Do you think the pros would do the same . Its really hard to say because you have a much more limited amount of players. I think the environment is much easier to control than it is at the college level. Most College Teams will have over 100 kids. The professional teams will have that down to 50 of that, you know, 53 on the active roster. I think the protocol that the professional teams have done is much easier to deal with than it is the college level, but you dont, you know, i dont who has a crystal ball to be able to see exactly whats going to happen Going Forward. I think its a step in the right direction, and now we have to do what weve done for for the lasx months, neil, wait and see what the effects will be and adjust accordingly. I think thats what weve done very well so far. Neil i hope it works out. You know, Herschel Walker spoke at the Republican Convention last night, and besides making a push for the president , he also made a pitch for the players standing for the national anthem. I want you to react to this, this was from Herschel Walker last night. Love and respect the flag, our national an hem and our country doesnt mean they dont care about social justice. I care about owl those things all those things. So does donald trump. Neil whatd you think of that . I thought, i thought herschel did a terrific job of presenting his situation and talking about the president. I think in herschels case he makes an excellent point when it comes to respecting what other people want to do. We all want social justice. One of the things thats bothered me a little bit is i havent heard of any changes that have gone forward. I think we really need to enlighten people more and say, okay, were talking about social justice, but we just dont need activism, we need action. We need to see something happening Going Forward so that people can feel good about what is going on. I do feel that i will stand for the national anthem. I dont disrespect anyone. I have no ill feelings toward anybody. I support black lives matter. But the fact of the matter is i think we have to respect each others position and those and i still believe that it honors the military. I still believe that standing for that flag and those that have made the sacrifices for us are the ones that should be honored in that way. Now, everybody has their own decisions to make, and i think we have to respect the individuality of each player, of each personned to do the things that they want to do in that regard when it comes to respect. Neil because the nfl commissioner seemed to do a 180, regretting the leagues response to Colin Kaepernick and the whole kneeling thing back not that long ago. What did you think of that . It looked like a mea culpa. Well, im not necessarily sure its a mea culpa. I think what it was, it was to a degree a misunderstanding of what colin was doing, what he was trying to represent. I think those were things that the commissioner may have been saying i cant speak for roger, i dont know what he was thinking, i dont know why he made the decisions he did. I think weve come a long way to try and understand much more about whats going on in society and what needs to be done, the things that need to be and like i said, we keep talking about it, we keep hearing it, we see things, but wheres the action . Where are the changes taking place in the cities that impact the problems that weve had . Where are the changes . A very good point. Joe theismann, thank you very much. Good catching up with you. Lets see how it ends up this year, okay . Fingers crossed. [laughter] neil all right. Well see what happens. Joe theismann on all of that. By the way, if you are traveling to any one of the new york metropolitan airports, there are going to be some changes. You probably know about theyve cleaned it up, making it easier to go through, but you can get covid tests as well.

Governor ego mow wants to make it a staple of all those new york area airports, but it would extend to all in the state. David lee miller on what this is all about. David lee. Reporter hi, neil. New york state, once the epicenter of the pandemic, now has a record low infection rate. But as you point out, there are plans in the works to put in new measures to keep people safe. Governor andrew cuomo says that in order to prevent infected out of state visitors from spreading the virus, testing sites are going to be set up at jfk and laguardia airports for incoming passengers. It is not clear how the testings going to be implemented. Travelers to new york from more than two dozen states with high infection rates must now be quarantined for 14 days or else face fines, but 5 states today were taken off that list, alaska, arizona, delaware, maryland and montana. Added to it, the u. S. Territory of guam. And despite the threats of a job action Prime Minister from the Teachers Union, new york city still planning to resume inperson teaching next month. Today the mayor said Ventilation School action teams, thats what theyre called, would inspect buildings to insure healthy air flow. The head of the fda has granted emergency use authorization of convalescent palace a ma to treat Covid Patients says the treatment may not be as effective as recently claimed. Many scientists disagreed with President Trumps claim that out of 1 is 00 patient 100 patients treated, 35 would survive. And last night stephen hahn tweeted a clarification that said, and i quote i have been criticized for remarks i made sunday night at the benefits of convalesce sent plasma. The criticism is entirely justified. What i should have said is that the data shows a relative race, not an absolute are risk reduction. And lastly, the countrys top Infectious Disease doctor is warning that distribution of new unproven virus vaccine under emergency use guidelines could create yet more problems. Dr. Anthony fauci says the vaccine that is distributed in haste could make it difficult to get test summits for any other subjects for any other future treatments. In the words of dr. Fauci, neil, any vaccine must be both safe and effective. Neil . Neil thats a good idea, make it safe and effective. David lee miller, thank you very much. Good catching up with you. In the meantime, we told you earlier about new jerseys governor with a plan to sort of balance the books in the state by going of after, you know, the millionaires, the very rich and companies. He did not go as far as bill de blasio does in new york city to saying you know, the rich might whine, theyre not going to leave, but if they do leave, theyll come back. Its a little weird, the de blasio view on all of this, because they are leaving, and that is real. Joe borelli is new York City Council minority whip, trump 2020 new york cochairman. Jost, always good to have you. Hes more or less saying, go ahead, make my day, leave. Youll be back because its just a great city, and Everyone Wants to come back. Thats not happening. Yeah. Suddenly bill de blasios a fan of laissezfaire economic policy, apparently. Neil, im not rich, but im told that its really great to be rich in new york city. Its also really great to be rich in florida or in europe or any of the other many places wealthy people live. The truth is, as you pointed out, that wealthy people and upper muddle class people are actually leaving new york because the reasons they used to live here and the premiums they were willing to pay, restaurants and museums and night life and all sorts of broadway shows, those things just arent happening anymore. And combined with that, we see the rising costs of the tax burden that continues to go up and will only increase as the city goes down this financial road, it just doesnt make sense or it makes less sense for a lot of people who have the means to leave. And the top 2 right now pay 50 of our states income tax. So while everyone may not leave, it only takes a very small percentage of people to leave to impact the city and state budget in a way that will have deleterious effects on some of the social programs that the mayor frequently touts. Neil you know, i never met a tax that doesnt grow. I always talk about the amt, alternative minimum tax, supposed to ensnare just a few who were getting without paying any taxes, and now its group to more than half of all taxpayers. Thats how it starts. So the argument already is that this will be a trend. Its a worry esome trend for even Governor Cuomo to say im worried about this, im worried about people leaving. Fellow Democratic Legislatures in the state of legislators in the state of new jersey are worried that people are leaving and urging caution on the part of the governor. But it doesnt happen. Invariably, the pursuit of the rich to make everything right continues. What do you make of that . No, i mean, and in fair em, the governor is correct in worrying about whether these people leave. I mean, wealth very mobile, and, you know, we see whether theyre retirees who leave new york city with large pensions and go elsewhere or the very wealthy. It is just incredible to think the mayor would be so lackadaisical about attracting people who want to spend money. Even when we dont think about their income tax, we have to think about sales tax and keeping a vibrant population. The City Government is a 4. 5 partner on almost every retail transaction that happens within its limits. So when things like businesses are shuttered for a year and now there might be long consequences of population decline its not just as simple as saying this is going to be one tough year. This could be a longterm problem, and the mayor just doesnt seem to take this with a serious attitude. And he needs to. Neil he needs arnold schwarzenegger, someone to say, i will be back. [laughter] i dont know, Something Like that. Joseph, thank you very much. The arrogance of all of this is, all these localities provide taxes. Its too beautiful, you dont want to leave california. Its too cool, or you dont want to leave new york city. Well, they do. They leave in droves. Well is have a lot more after this including the latest on laura, could be a category three hurricane by the time it bears down on the coast of texas and louisiana. That seems to be the range were looking at. Well have the latest after this. Neil all right, hurricane laura coule a doozy. Lets get the latest from adam klotz as the gulf prepares for this one, and its, i guess, adam, going to be a big one. Reporter yeah, good afternoon, neil. This is going to be a big storm, and were already are beginning to see it intensify now that its over that warm, that warm gulf of mexico water. Winds at 75 mileanhour, this is going to have time to continue to lift through that warm water and really intensify over the next 24 hours, quickly jumping up to a category two and, ultimately, a category three hurricane with winds at 115 miles an hour, likely making landfall Late Wednesday night into early thursday morning. Heres just one potential track. This is just a forecast model, but you see a strong, defined storm there as it lifts its way up towards the coast making landfall near houston, and its going to have a lot of rain, very strong winds, and its going to bring a wall of water across this area. These are some of our storm surge predictions, and if these hold true, this could cause a whole lot of flooding, anywhere from 711 feet, particularly running to the east side of galveston and then running into central louisiana areas to Pay Attention to with that wall of water. Otherwise as much as 12 inches of rain in some of these lowlying areas, thats going to add to additional flooding. So, neil, as i get ready to toss this back out to you, this is going to be a big storm. Weve got a large area with hurricane watches and warnings and, again, the timeline looks like Late Wednesday into early thursday morning. Still a little bit of time for folks to prepare. Neil all right. Thank you, adam, very, very much. Adam klotz. Speaking of the natural disasters, lets go across the country to california, the wildfires and what theyre dealing with. Claudia cowan with more from california. Claudia. Reporter well, neil, actually some positive indicators here with the berth improving weather improving some, evacuation orders are being lifted and Property Owners are returning to see whats left, though in many cases its just a heartbreaking scene. People finding their family homes we reduced to piles of rubble and ash. Ken and marcial bears have stayed with their two little dogs, they say their twostory tudor wiped out a collection of 16 classic chevyss and corvettes dating back to the 50s and a family home filled with beloved heirlooms. The house can be replaced, yes. The furniture and all that stuff. But both of us are, you know, 70 plus, and we had a lot of stuff weve collected over the years, and that cant be replaced. Reporter more than 600 fires rage across california, the three big infer knows around San Francisco bay cover seven counties. And added all together have burned an area 25 times the size of San Francisco. Along with flames, authorities are also dealing with looters going into evacuated areas and burglarizing vacant homes. At least 13 people arrested so far. But the weather is giving firefighters a break, especially the czu lightning complex burning around santa cruz. We have a really good set of controls on the north end of the fire, throughout the entire north, and down on the coast some of the fire is selfmitigating in the fact that its burning lighter fuels, or increasing humidity and so forth, the fires actually extinguished itself. Reporter is so good news with the fire fight. Still because of all the smoke put out by these fires, the air quality around the bay area is so unhealthy, neil, officials are advising people to stay inside if they can through tomorrow. Back to you. Neil just incredible. Claudia, thank you very, very much. All right, we have a lot more coming up including the look at that a look at that china trade deal that we thought was gone with all the nasty accusations back and forth. Apparently, the chinese still want to make good on it. They have their reasons. Well explain it. Hey, can i.

Neil youd think with the accusations flying back and forth between the United States and china over what the president called the china virus and that he couldnt trust them, they lied to him on that, caused this world plague and then going after huawei and tiktok that any sense of normalcy was gone, any chance of completing that trade deal was gone. But lo and behold, we get word theyre still negotiating, and now word cant verify e in this that that the chinese are very much going to be buying a lot of american wheat, corn, a host of other things that seemed unthinkable. Again, we cannot validate some of these reports that the chinese are making good on these large purchases, but just the fact that theyre talking is stunning enough. Dan joseph, much more on that. Do you believe that, dan, when you hear these reports the chinese are doing this, are you surprised . I wouldnt say surprised. Its good news, i think, the fact that the two sides want to continue to engage on the economic pseudo. Obviously, theres side. Obviously, theres a lot of static here in the relationship, and the more intense it e gets, the higher the possibility that everything gets derailed. But the core is the economic relationship, the interdependency, and i do think theres motivation on both sides marley in these difficult Economic Times to say engaged. Neither economy needs more headwinds. I think itd be great if we could keep the economic side moving in the right direction, minimize the Collateral Damage that is created as we try to address sol of these trade issues and then deal with these other issues separately which the other issues arent going away anytime soon. Neil the president calling biden beijing biden, that the chinese obviously prefer him, trump himself is a much more difficult negotiator, they want him out fast. Do you buy that . Um, i mean, im not 900 100 sure of that. On the one hand, obviously, President Trump can talk a hard line on china. And even though i disagree with some of his tactics, the overall strategy of pushing back against china on certain key issues, that was necessary, and e give him credit for that. On the other hand, he does have a reputation as being a pragmatist and someone who wants to keep business moving forward whereas with joe biden might not i mean, the chinese are going to think hes going to be softer on some of these trade issues but maybe thornier on some of the other political issues. So its entirely possible but im not sure they have much of a preference, to be honest. Neil you know, before donald trump came along, we worked through the, you know, the World Trade Organization to hammer out agreements. Most of the time the wto would agree with us, but china would still inignore the orders from the wto, so what would change under a potential Biden Administration if we reverted back to that . Well, the problem is, is that the wto we just dont have the right set of rules in for a country of chinas size and where theyre going. Most of our trade deficit with china right now is related to them selling low value added, low cost items to us. Now theyre moving up. Their economys maturing mid to higher levels, so we need some new rules, and its hard to get those rules developed in a multilateral institution. Sometimes you have to take the initiative, get things moving and then bring the wto and get everyone to agree afterwards. So in that sense, the Trump Initiative makes sense to get things moving, to get the bureaucracy moving. And to the extent that maybe joe biden would not do that, the process might become bogged down. So i wouldnt again, to even though i dont like trumps tariffsfirst approach, i do like the idea of trying to move things forward even if you have to do that bilaterally rather than just sitting around and waiting for things to a happen. Sometimes the bureaucracy moves too slow, its that simple. Neil yeah, it is. Thank you very much. Good catching with you again.
