New at noon, President Trump has released the white houses recording of his interview with 60 minutes, days before it was scheduled to air on cbs. He posted it on social media, attacking journalist leslie stahl, and claiming this, quote, unedited preview, is a first in tv history. The president cut the interview short, when stall was at the white house tuesday. Its part of a special candidates edition of 60 minutes, set to air this sunday. Cbs news released this statement, saying, quote, the white houses unprecedented decision to disregard their agreement with cbs news, and release their footage, will not deter 60 minutes fromproviding its full, fair and contextual. 60 minutes, the most watched news show on television is known for its fairness, deep reporting and november tive context to viewers each week.

The candidates will have their final chance tonight to make their closing arguments, side by side. And challenge each other. And we have been talking to voters here, who say they have already made up their minds or have already voted. But they still plan on watching this debate. However, they tell us they dont want a repeat of that first president ial debate. They want to see far fewer interruptions. The stage is set for the final showdown between President Trump and democratic nominee joe biden. Plexiglas is visible around the candidates podiums. And there will also be new rules to try to curb the chaos during their first matchup in cleveland. Its like two kindergarteners going at it. Im interested in a debate. A mute button will allow each candidate two uninterrupted minutes to answer an open question. I think the mute is unfair. The key battleground poll shows the president. President trump has remained on the campaign trail this week, while biden has been prepping out of the public eye and relying on talk surrogate and former boss, barack obama. It could come down to a handful of voters, just like you. Tonights matchup in nashville will be the final time the candidates share the stage to make their closingcases and strategy could be key. Some are advising the president to take a lower key approach. I say to the president , just be happy, let biden talk. Let him explain away. Biden is bracing for more personal attacks on him and his son. But hell focus on the issues. Hes looking forward to having the opportunity to speak directly to the American People about what hes going to do to bring us back from this horrific covid19 pandemic. More than 42 million americans have already cast their ballots, with just 12 days to go, until the election. And back here in nashville, the official topics of tonights debate, include covid 19, american families, race in america, climate change, National Security and leadership. And similar to the first debate, it is the same format of six, 15minute segments. But again, the Big New Development tonight, the first four minutes will be uninterrupted across both candidates, each getting two minutes of uninterrupted time. And then the open discussion begins.

The lee family had heard about the news between russia and iran. And were unfazed. Not intimidated. But angry.

Today, republicans on the Senate Judiciary Committee Voted Unanimously in favor of moving forward with her nomination. Judge Amy Coney Barrett is one of the most impressive legal minds in the united states. She was arguably one of the most impressive judicial nominees that ive ever seen in these hearings. All 10 boycotted the vote. They posted posters of constituents. They called the confirmation process a sham, playing out during an ongoing election and ahead ofa an upcoming Supreme Court case on the aca. The Senate Republican majority is conducting the most rushed, the most partisan, and the least legitimate nomination to the Supreme Court in our nations history.

And another burst of strong offshore winds, especially in the Higher Elevations by tonight into tomorrow morning. Before finally easing.
