Sounds like you got a booking joining us now, new jersey governor phil murphy, cochair of there, buddy. Chris former president obama will deliver another Big Convention speech on the Democratic Convention. Governor, what is the central wednesday. Oh, my, the night before his message that the Biden Campaign former Vice President the wants to get across this week democratic nomination for the and how much art as a going to top job. Be to get that message across now this program note, join us one instead of the whole plot of for democracy 2020 convention the convention, were going to kickoff tonight at 10 00 p. M. See a lot of people delivering speeches from the living room . Eastern and for coverage all this week on fox news channel. Speaker chris, good to be with and thats it for today, have a you. Great week and we will see you the theme uniting america i think says it all. Next fox news sunday. Were the big ten party. This is a moment in American History where we got to put the us versus them in the Rearview Mirror and come together in announcer who can you always rely on to be there common purpose. New jersey, by the way, is in many effects the most diverse state in america, smiths a particular badge of honor and as you put it, it is an Unconventional Convention to say the least but i think the lineup is overwhelmingly compelling. The theme is overwhelmingly compelling. I think its going to be a terrific week. Chris lets talk about the big new issue that has just arisen and you are on the front lines of it as we pointed out in the production open. On friday, just 11 weeks before the election, you directed that new jersey will send ballots to all 6 million plus voters who are on your rules there so they can do mailin balloting for president. Does it make sense youve never done this before. Does it make sense to change the system is close to the electionp history with vote by mail and we just had a primary which was a little bit different, only because it was a primary, but we learned a lot from it and we liked what we saw. Ensuring Border Security is completely understandable. Ive spoken to the president about it and by the way i send our prayers in his direction over the loss of his brother. But we got enough experience to believe between the option of vote by mail to drop her ballot insecure boxes that we will have all around the state, to show affection election day and hand your ballot over or failing all that to actually vote in person. Its a hybrid model, actually when you need immediate help . We think based on our any time of the day or night, experience, especially from this even when youre hundreds of miles away from home, primary, the system is going to always giving you and your family peace of mind work for us. Chris you say you have a with people, benefits, and Services History of it, but lets review always there for you to make your life a little easier . That history, because you had some problems in your primary a company you know is always with you. Last month. Some people got the wrong ballot, some people didnt get aaa, ballots at all. A Company Built by and for members. sentimental music you had a different election in paterson, new jersey, in may and hi there, im jeff thisted. Four people were charged with chances are you know about aaas legendary roadside service, voter fraud for harvesting but you might be surprised ballots. That doesnt sound like a very good record, sir. Governor murphy so the paterson experience was a local election in may before the primary. I actually view the differently. I do that as a positive data point. Some guys try to screw around with the system, they got caught by law enforcement. They have been indicted, they will pay a price. So i actually have some optimism from that that actually people try to screw with the system and they failed. The primary in july im not suggesting you always bat 1,000. You dont do that and in person elections either. There are always some glitches youre dealing with but it was overwhelmingly successful and again, our hope is to expand democracy and we believe this is the right way to do it. Chris but to answer some of the questions the president raises, whats the danger you know, people move, you send a ballot to me at my house, but ive moved and now somebody else has got my ballot and they want to fill it out. What are the safeguards you have that when you send a ballot out tonehat sends the ballot back and its their pres, who have concerns about Border Security, we all want to make sure that every vote counts, that every person gets to vote once. Weve got checks and balances for all of that, chris. Again, this is an iterative reality. If we are learning experiences. We actually had a high degree of success on that very point. In terms of tracking people down in the july primary we just had and again, remember, were giving people the option to deliver their ballot in a secure box or in person. If theyve got concerns about the Postal Service, there are number of outlets we are giving folks to get their vote counted. Chris i want letter out to , including new jersey recently in which they said that with this huge surge in mailin balloting, there were 33 million votes, absentee and mail and in 2016, we could be talking double, triple net. That with this huge surge that they cant guarantee that theyre going to be able to get all the ballots out and return them in time to be counted. What do you think of that and what do you think of the president s opposition to the democratic proposal for 25 billion more for the Postal Service . Governor murphy i support unequivocally more money for the Postal Service, chris. By the way, we extended in the primary, we will do it again, the number of days after t ballot can be counted for the very reason that you raised in terms of the volume. The last thing we should be doing is politicizing the Postal Service. Its not as though it exists just for vote by mail. Think about the seniors overland for medicines. Our veterans, our small businesses, the Commerce Association with the backbone of this country. We need to fund the Postal Service, we need to root for its success as opposed to the opposite. Chris do you think that the president and his postmaster general, who is a big trump fundraiser, contributor, do think they are playing politics with the Postal Service . Governor murphy i cant say. I have not dealt with the postmaster general. I have dealt regularly with the chief operating officer of the post office. And will continue to, by the way. We were very tough and strong on them during the primary and i can assure you that we will be doing the same during the general to make sure their performance is what needs to be and also that again, back to congress. We need to fund them properly and i strongly support that. Chris lets turn to the other big news this week, joe bidens new running mate, Kamala Harris and her voting record in the senate. Harris was the first senator to cosponsor medicare for all before walking that back and including private insurance. She supports the green new deal, she wants to ban fracking and last year, an independent group ranked her as the most liberal member of the u. S. Senate. Question, sir, is Kamala Harris too far to the left for swing voters . Governor murphy chris, listen, i think shes a fantastic choice both in her personal history from an immigrant family, a woman, a woman of color. Her professional experience as attorney general, as a prosecutor, as a u. S. Senator. How she complements how she complements Vice President biden. I think when you look at that ticket and you look at this party in this moment in time in our country, i dont think we could ask for a Better Running mate for Vice President biden. Chris what do you think of the president s continuing refusal to dismiss the claim that she is not eligible to run and serve as Vice President . Governor murphy well, its not true and i hope and pray that the president moves off of that and gets to the substantive stuff. You put up a bunch of things that i suspect the president is not going to agree with. Lets hope for a debate based on substance, based on the issues. This is one of the most extraordinary moments in our nations history. We owe it to our citizens, we owe it to members of both parties to focon the vision, one going to go as a country and i hope we get to that sooner than later. Chris lets talk about the campaign. Lets talk about joe biden. As i mentioned, President Trump is going to be campaigning around the country in key swing states this week while joe biden remains in delaware where he has been either delaware or a few miles away in pennsylvania throughout this campaign since the Public Health crisis started. I understand we are in the middle of a pandemic, but would you like to see joe biden get out more, to campaign more, to travel to more states, and would you like to see him submit, participate, in more interviews like you are doing right now . Governor murphy i cant speak for the Vice President , but i think hes done this exactly as one would hope. We are in the midst of a pandemic. New jersey has paid an extraordinary price, over 14,000 lost lives. Its a lot better than it was a few months ago, but we are not out of the woods yet. So balancing Public Health with the sacred right of voting as we discussed with democracy, im sure the Vice President will be between now and election day after his eyeballs in interviews and debates. Im sure hell get out there, weve got to get that balance, thats the message i think thats being sent to america by the Vice President. This is a moment in time unlike any other. And balancing Public Health with democracy is something that we have to get right and i believe hes gotten it right so far and im sure hell continue to. Chris well, let me ask you about that. Lets talk finally about the coronavirus, Vice President biden made this proposal this week, take a look. Every governor should mandate mandatory maskwearing. The estimate experts are it will save over 40,000 lives in the next few months. Chris now you have mandated that in your state people Must Wear Masks if they are outside and cant socially distance, at least 6 feet apart. Do you think governors, all governors across the country, should issue that kind of mandate . Governor murphy i do, chris. I think the science and the data, the facts are unequivocal. It used to be up until in fact a few weeks ago that the science said by doing so youre protecting others but the science now says it works both ways. And i think if we had a national as with caldwell for many weeks if not months, a national masking policy, i think we could accelerate dramatically driving this virus into the ground. Its been a big weapon for us but as a nation we are only as strong as our weakest link, to have a National Strategy i think would be a game changer. Chris governor murphy, thank you, thanks for joining us today, we will be following all of the events of the convention this week but ive got to say i will miss seeing you in milwaukee. Governor murphy amen, chris, same here, take chris up next we will get reaction from the Senior Advisor to the Trump Campaign and discuss how the president plans to capture some attention of his own this week.

Chris republicans are planning to Counter Program the Democratic Convention this week. President trump will campaign in key battleground states while joe biden and Top Democrats make the case against his reelection. Joining us now from Trump Campaign headquarters in virginia is Senior Advisor steve cortez. Steve, welcome to fox news sunday. Steve good morning. Chris does the Trump Campaign, does President Trump, acknowledge that Kamala Harris is eligible to be the next Vice President of the United States . Steve yes. He made his very clear in his press conference yesterday, he said this is not an issue that we are going to be pursuing. Chris on the other hand, he didnt strike down the claim, and im asking about that because he once again yesterday was offered the opportunity to dismiss the false claim that because her parents were immigrants that she is not eligible to run even though she was born in the state of california. Here is the president this week on that subject. Resident trump t today that she doesnt meet the requirements, and by the way, the lawyer that wrote that piece is a very highly qualified, very talented lawyer. I have no idea if thats right. I wouldve assumed the democrats would have checked that out before she gets chosen to run for Vice President. Chris isnt this just like the birther claims the president made against barack obama . Nothing could be easier than to say its a false claim, she is eligible, not to say, well, im not going to make an issue of it. Why not just say its wrong, its false . Speaker yesterday he made it, hs conference on friday. Either way, the president has given a press conference every day in stark contrast to joe biden, who continues to harden his bright basement and is not available to the press. Im quoting, this is not something we will be pursuing. He never brought this up, the Campaign Never brought it up. Members of the media have asked them about it, trying to create a controversy that simply doesnt exist. Chris im just going to press it one more time, you can accuse me of being one of those media people. Why not say its wrong, she is eligible . Its one thing to say im not going to pursue it, its a different thing to say its flat wrong, she is eligible to be the Vice President , why doesnt he say that . Steve again, i dont know why its incumbent upon him to opine on legal scholarship of the constitution and the 14th amendment. We have not made an issue of this, we will not make an issue of this. Its a nonstarter from our point of view. The president in the campaign. Chris lets talk about a different issue. Your real problem with Kamala Harris, which is that you say shes too far to the left, you heard me discuss that with governor murphy, what i want to put up some other aspect of of her voting record. She walked back medicare for all, as California Attorney general she supported the Death Penalty and as attorney general she resisted interceding in Police Officer shootings of citizens. Steve, none of that is far left. Steve i would say this about Kamala Harris. She seems to be an opportunist and to do whatever is most expedient of the moment for political power, but here is the reality of the Kamala Harris of 2020, the candidate right now for Vice President of the United States. In the previous segment you mentioned some of her extreme far left radical views, things like banning fracking, but there are more than things you listed. For example, she believes in decriminalizing crossing our border illegally. Those who would trespass into our country would no longer be sanctioned by rule of law. She is in favor of confiscating the most popular rifle in america, mandatory confiscation. This is i know he mentions the track data, so its not just my opinion, that is a datadriven model that says from the year 2019 she was the most liberal member of the United States senate, even to the left of bernie sanders. Her nomination in our view completes the complete radical takeover of the 2020 Democratic Party. The Democratic Party today is not your parents or it grandparents Democratic Party. If it does not represent the interest of bluecollar workers in this country and it doesnt represent the interests of people who have traditional values in this country. Chris all right, lets switch to the other big subject being talked about, mail and voting. Democrats argue that President Trump opposes male and voting and is making it harder for the Postal Service to deal with the surge of male because he thinks it would hurt his reelection. Heres the president this week. Two of the items are the post office and the three and a half billion dollars for mail and voting. If we dont make a deal that means they dont get the money. That means they cant have universal male and voting, they just cant have it. Chris steve, isnt that a classic example of Voter Suppression . Steve no, it is not, and i will tell these are two different issues. Theres nothing ambiguous about mail. We are firmly against it. We believe in absentee voting, we believe in early voting. What we do not believe in is blanketing a city or a state with every Single Person who is listed on the voter rolls because we know that the voter rolls are not accurate and again, thats not just my opinion, the data shows us that example in clark county las vegas according to a story from the las vegas journal review. We know that 17 of all ballots that were sent out these are life ballots, these arent applications 17 of them come over 200,000 were returned as undeliverable because we are a mobile society, people move, people died. The voter rolls are not accurate so we are against universal vote by mail as a principal. Regarding the Postal Service, that is a separate issue. The Postal Service needs systemic reform and has lost 78 billion chris let me interrupt. It let me interrupt you, steve, and i havent up till now, because that isnt what the president said. In his interview with maria bartiromo, i want to quote what we just heard. If they dont get the money, that means they cant have universal mail and voting. I understand issues with the Postal Service but he is linking money to the Postal Service for universal male and voting about raises this question because the Postal Service, because of its money problems has just made a bunch of changes. They have eliminated over time, they have taken hundreds of mail sorting machines out of operation at a time when youre going to have a new crush of mail from mail and voting. It is and just mail and voting, steve, because it is also, as governor murphy said, people are getting their Social Security checks, people arent getting their drugs in the mail, but isnt the president at a time when the mail is more important than ever for an election, why not make it easier for people to vote, not harder . Steve well, heres the answer, he is willing to. Thats not all he set on friday about the postal system. He also said in his press conference and again, he continues to make himself available on a near constant basis to the media, the exact opposite of what joe biden into his campaign are doing. He also said in his press conference on friday when questioned about this, he said he would be willing he has already offered 10 billion of additional aid to the postal system buried if the democrats would come to the table and make a deal. He was asked what he go all the way up to the 25 billion that the democrats want and he said yes if they come back to the table with the tax cuts that the president wants for american are jobless still s youruestion, he says hes willing to make that deal chris let me ask this let me ask this. Democrats are saying but democrats are saying you know what, maybe we wont do it as part of the bill, we will just do a bill to bailout the post office because its so important that people be able to vote mail in between now and november. With the president support that . Steve there is no one of money that could get the United StatesPostal Service ready by universal vote by mail and dont take my word for it, listen to the state of washingtons secretaries of state. Those who are in favor of this often point to the state of washington as the symbol, as the example of what we should be doing nationwide. The secretary of state out of the state of washington says it takes five to ten years to build the capacity to suitably do it. If they are now advocating to try to do this and 510 weeks. That wont work. Chris okay. One final question. Youll want to answer this one. Traditionally when one party holds its convention, the other party and the nominee for the other party goes dark. That is not what President Trump is going to do this week. Put this map up on the screen, hes going to barnstorm the country this week, traveling to four potential swing states. Question, why is the president doing it, and why does he think that hes going to be able to break through when there is all of this media focus on the Democratic Convention as there will be on the republicans next week . Chris, listen, this entire week starting today, starting this morning we are really flooding the zone, taking the a message to the American People. We are all over the sunday shows them about the campaign folks as well as the president himself while joe biden at all of his surrogates have chosen to ignore the sunday shows. On the eve of their convention and i have no doubt by the way when we see the convention that is going to be quite a show. I really cal call of the wizard of Oz Convention because there will be a lot of hollywood glitz and showmanship but if you look behind the he president is goingeble and to do in contrast is go to places like wisconsin, the place that joe biden is snubbing, take our message to the American People and act like a commander in chief, somebody who just solidified a historic pact internationally, someone whose growing jobs back in Industrial Production back domestically. Going to go to the border in arizona on tuesday chris all right. Steve we are serious about walking americas front door. Chris steve, i promise you im going to break in. Thanks for your time this weekend and next week and a promise we will be previewing the g. O. P. Convention, thanks, steve. Steve thank you. Chris up next we will bring in our sunday group to get their take on a Convention Season like no other. And what Kamala Harris brings to the democratic ticket. Chris coming up, President Trump steps up his attacks on joe bidens running mate. Worse than anybody else by far. There was nobody, including pocahontas, nobody treated biden so badly. Chris we will ask our experience the ultimate sports hub. Where you can find games, news and highlights. All in one place, right on your tv. The xfinity sports zone. Use your voice to search every stat, standing and score. Follow the teams you love. And, even get notifications with breaking news alerts and more. So youll never miss an update. With the xfinity sports zone everybody wins. Now she was my number one draft pick and we will see how she works out. She did very, very poorly in the primaries, as you know. We need more than a victory on november 3rd. We need a mandate. Chris President Trump saying he is delighted with joe bidens pick of a running mate in Kamala Harris, raising expectations for the democratic ticket. Its time now for our sunday group. Jason riley of the wall street journal and the manhattan institute. Poster Kristen Soltis anderson and mo elleithee of georgetown universitys institute of politics and public service. Kristen, lets talk about what Kamala Harris brings to this democratic ticket. Before she dropped out in december, and that was before any of the primaries, a National Poll had support for harris among all democrats as you can see there a 3 . Support among women at 4 in support among blacks at 5 . So why does the Biden Campaign why should we all think that she is going to appeal to and win the support of those voters . I think the idea is that she represents a safe pick buried a strange time we are living a more progressive senator from california is the safe pick, but i define safe is being she does not really move you or gain you many votes. I think in the democratic coalition, they are primarily motivated by trying to seek trump unseated, so as long as someone who is not terribly risky was chosen, they would still be energized and you are hearing stories of in particular the south Asian Community being very excited. Remember Kamala Harris is africanamerican but shes also of indian dissent, so there are some folks that ar probably not voting to joe biden with mike to begin with. Thats why i think she represents a quote unquote safe pick. Chris jason, since biden picked harris as his running mate, President Trump is called her anger, his call her nasty and as we have pointed out earlier in the program, he has failed to dismiss the claim that shes ineligible to run for Vice President. Does the president run the risk in his attacks on harris of actually driving some of those voters i was just talking about with kristen into the bidenharris camp . Im not so sure that he runs the risk, chris. Trump by this point is a known quantity, so i dont think hes saying much that voters dont expect him to say that the electric doesnt expect to hear. But the fact of the matter is, harris is straight out of progressive central casting. Shes got this exotic background and that is what the activists on the left place a lot of store in. Racial diversity. Its the endall beall. I agree that she probably doesnt hurt the ticket much, but what she does do is play into one of the president s chief criticisms of joe biden, which is that hes not his own man. I dont think she was bidens first pick, she was the bases pick. I think she wouldve gone with someone with a more moderate voting record in the senate, so i think in that sense, President Trump will be able to make some hay of the pick, that joe biden will be, if he becomes president , will be controlled by the left just as he wasnt having to choose harris as his running mate. Chris mo, you know, these are the days right after the pick during the convention that would make a big deal but the running mate but in the end as we get to labor day, they pretty much fade into the background and they goe smaller issue is the top of the ticket, the Vice President in this case. Doesnt he still have an Energy Deficit not traveling around the country to campaign, for instance as this week as we pointed out, the president is going to be going to four different states and not submitting himself to interviews and appearances like you have to say the president has . Look, i dont know the Campaign Schedules this time are really going to be reflective of anything. If the president has been out there campaigning for months and weeks even steady decline in his suppt. Bit. Now loshould joe biden be doinge media appearances . I think so. Should he be trying to find more creative ways . I think this week we are going to see that by moving to a Virtual Convention, going to have more Creative Content out there but we are in the middle of a pandemic, which means people are consuming information differently than they did before. Think the old rules are out the window. As long as he and his running mate are out there every day in some capacity making the case that they are different than this president for all the reasons that people do not like this president , then i think theyre going to see them continue to do fairly well. Chris kristen, i want to put up some of the results from the new fox poll that came out this week and im going to put them up on the screen. First and the horse race, biden leads trump 49 to 42 but lets look at the internals. The president s job approval is still underwater. A 44 approve, 54 percent do not. How things are going in the country, you could say right track, or on track, 33 satisfied, 66 not satisfied. What message would you send to the government now, lend me a hand, 36 , leave me alone, a flip from just 12 months ago. These are not good numbers for any incumbent seeking reelection, are they . It really underscores the way in which covid19 continues to cast a huge cloud over this entire election. Within across pads of that poll, you see that trumpet still losing Senior Citizens by nine points, it is remarkable considering seniors are a group the trump had previously done pretty well with. There were also particularly vulnerable to the coronavirus, so when you take a look at his job approval, which has fallen as weve gone further and further and it still feels like this virus is not really well under control, its clearly driving a lot of voters to and perhaps making them more opena change. Chris jason, youve got less than a minute. Can the president change this general dissatisfaction with the state of the country in the next 11 weeks . I think is going to need some help. There are certain things outside of his control. I think a second wave of viruses coronavirus coming back in the fall would be devastating. I think he needs the economy to turn around. Thats the strongest suit against joe biden, the economy that we have going in this country prior to covid. Hes going to need some outside help there. A lot of supporters like to dismiss the polls because they were off in 2016 and there may be some noise in there with respondents not wanting to tell pollsters that they are Trump Supporters because its so politically incorrect, but i dont think there points worth of noise in there. I think he has his work cut out, when he kno why he changed Campaign Managers last month. Chris all right, panel, we have to take a quick break your when we come back, the growing debate over whether the u. S. Postal service can handle the surge of mailin ballots this election. Thats next. Come on in, were open. All we do is hand you the bag. Simple. Done. This smells so good. Big thanks to you guys at home. Were here right now. We adapt and we change.

They cant do a little race with 20,000 people. Now they want to take it countrywide mailin voting. Its going to be the greatest fraud in the history of elections. Chris President Trump once again warning about the dangers of nationwide mailin voting in this election and we are back now with the panel. Mo, i know the democrats say that President Trump is trying to block mailin voting and trying to block billions of dollars more for the Postal Service in orders voting in this election, but hear me out for a minute, isnt it possible that the president really has a point here . As i mentioned earlier, there were 33 million either absentee or mailin ballots in 2016. If we have double that or triple that, isnt there a pretty good chance that we will have a mass, at the least, and yes, possibly fraud to look, i think it is certainly likely that there would be challenges if the president continues to make up the Postal Service. We have seen now i think its, what, 35 states in the district of columbia, ballpark, that have robust mailin voting opern almost entirely mailin voting and it works. When there are hiccups, the system typically catches it, as weve seen in a couple of the cases that have been in the news lately. So there is a system in place of checks and b widespread fraud or any kind of fraud, but if the president and his political appointee continue to go after the Postal Service, taking machines away, taking mailboxes away, and taking funding away, it does lead the risk of a huge mess. This can be fixed with more support now. Its also terrible political strategy in that i dont understand why he would be trying to defund the Postal Service and hurting the very voters that he relies on will receive checks, who received medications in the mail. I just dont get the politics of is jason, maybe you can explain it. Because it isnt just a question of mailin voting, we are hearing complaints now that because of some reforms in the service like ending overtime, taking out hundreds of mail sorting machines, people arent getting their Social Security checks, veterans arent getting their prescriptions. Isnt this a little bit risky for the president . Well, i think there are two issues here, chris, that are being conflated. Yes, the Postal Service needs reform. A big reforms, and it doesnt need a bailout. That is not going to fix what is wrong with the Postal Service. It needs topdown reform. But the second point here is that according to the post office, they are not going to run out of money until 2021 and the Postal Service says that they have the uptick in mailin ballots that everyone is anticipating come november. So yes, it was wrong for the president to say i oppose more funding because it will mean that the post office wont be able to do universal mailin voting. Thats not the issue here and im glad he walked that back. But he is right that the ayst office does need reform. They can handle this right now chris kristin, how do you think the fight and its really becoming quite a fight over mailin voting cuts politically . Does it energize one side more than the other, and is there a risk for the president that as he keeps down flowing and dissing mailin voting that democrats will vote by mail and some republicans may not vote at all . I think its less worrisome to me that the idea that democrats were voted by mail but republicans would stay home. What worries me is perhaps not through malice but through incompetence or lack of ability to function properly that youll see a lot of democrats voting by mail and as weve seen in places like new york state have attempted to spin up really fast one of these mailin voting situations and all of a sudden you have huge numbers of ballots that get disqualified. If republicans are overwhelmingly voting in person when they vote, those boats are very likely to count. If you have democrats overwhelmingly voting by mail and there is a big split between our and d and their message of voting, that could lead to a very, very messy and very, very troublesome moment for america as these ballots are being counted after the election. Chris all right, let me switch to another big subject, which is tied to this because at this point is part of the bill. The president , republicans on one side, continue to fight over the Coronavirus Relief package. Meanwhile, federal Unemployment Benefits running out, money for small businesses, a lot of the protections for eviction have run out and you saw some of the fight between the two parties this week, take a look. Ive directed the treasurer of the secretary to all americans. Democrats are holding this up. Perhaps you mistook them for somebody who gave a damn. Chris i asked Speaker Pelosi last week, which he didnt appear to like very much, has she misplayed this, has she stayed to farm and her demands and should she come back and make a deal now [boos] its aint over until its over, i think thats going to be huge pressure on both democrats and republicans to get a deal, particularly as the crisis continues. The question as always is what does the deal look like with both sides being very firm and sort of the things that they will except in the things that they wont accept. And its going to cause some challeng there. I do think that all the bells and whistles, some of the tax cuts that republicans are trying to attach are going to potentially cause challenges for the with voters who are saying i need help now, i need these direct payments now, i need some of these things now. And what the president is offering compared to what the democrats are offering im not sure is going to satisfy what people are looking for, so you know, its just creating more of a sense of mass here in washington that is potentially going to hurt the administration at the ballot box. Chris jason, same questio question, as the stalemate over providing Coronavirus Relief drags on and really is affecting millions of people who are unemployed or businesses that are right on the edge, who do you think its most of the bla blame . I think pelosi is started playing this like a Government Shutdown situation where traditionally the administration in power gets blamed by the public. And i think she thinks that she has the upper hand here so shes asking for everything. Just pulling things off the shelf, a wish list basically, the demands, of which have nothing tot get what she wants d nothing gets passed, republicans will get blamed for it. Shes probably looking at the president s poll numbers and thinking ill just keep on doing what im doing, its working for us. I think that on the substantive level, with the democrats are asking for in terms of relief package could actually slowed on the economy or prevent it from getting back up to speed. Again, when youre paying people with these unemployment benefit addons not to work or paying them or not to work, then employers could pay them to come back on the job. Youve got these incentives in place in the economy is never going to get going again so long as those incentives are in pla place. Chris thank you, panel, see you next sunday. As we get ready for this week a pastors Virtual Convention, youre going to take a fond look back at some highlights from conventions past. Where are you .
