Well reacted understandably interesting scene last night. Badly to the president s debate last week with joe biden where when marine one lands on the he interrupted and you couldnt south lawn the president just hear what they were saying and walks into the white house. He mounted the steps to the they both hurled insults. Joe biden called the president doorway lined with flags and a clown and a racist and so gave that message saying basically that he has gone to forth. School on coronavirus, learned mike pence is sort of the a lot about it. Urging the American People antitrump in terms of that style. Dont fear it. Even though it put him in the he is very polite, very mild hospital and had doctors really and washing he is very worried about his health. Here is what else the president said. President trump i didnt feel so good and two days ago i disciplined. Could have left two days ago. The last debate mike pences calm won the day. Two days ago i felt great, better than i have in a long kane badgered mr. Pence and tried to hold him to account time. I said just recently better than 20 years ago. For Donald Trumps statements dont let it dominate and take and mike pence just remained over your lives. Dont let that happen. The president urging the calm. Nation to get back to work. Sandra your piece normally a lot of criticism of the a president forcing to suspend message from democrats including joe biden. Here is what he said at a town his campaign would suffer. Hall in miami last night. Mr. Trump and biden have essentially there is a lot switched places, the president is confined while the former Vice President is out on the to be concerned about, 210,000 campaign trail. People have died. All that bad news that has hit you have, you know, about 1,000 people a day getting the the trump ticket recently a soothing dose of mr. Pence coronavirus. 50,000 so its of great might be just what the doctor concern. I hope no one walks away with a ordered.

So far more than 14 people who diagnosis. There are all sorts of were either at that amy coney uncertainties into it.

After making a trip to another battleground state. He was in florida on monday. The president taking his covid battle to the white house after doctors okd his release. Biden making multiple stops include in miamis Little Havana and little haiti why some experts say its not the best decision. Neighborhoods and got a chance every day a patient stays in to meet with voters oneonone. Also a state that the trump the hospital unnecessarily is a risk to themselves and right now there is nothing that is campaign feels fairly confident being done upstairs here that in. Biden has been putting more time in recently. He took questions from voters. We cant safely conduct down home. Some criticized as safety ball during a town hall last night. Here is what he said about the president s recent covid diagnosis. I would hope the president having gone through what he has done through and glad he is coming along well. Would communicate the right lesson to the American People. Masks matter. During the same town hall last night a voter asked biden about President Trumps new Supreme Court nominee and what a Justice Barrett would mean for the future of a womans right to choose. Listen. We dont know exactly what she will do. Expectation is that she may very well move to overrule roe. And but the only responsible response to that would be to pass legislation making roe the law of the land. Thats what i would do. Meantime bidens running made Kamala Harris is preparing for the biggest test of her political career debating Vice President mike pence tomorrow night in Salt Lake City.

Sandra a Police Officers in texas charged with murder in the shooting death of an unarmed black man happened 75 northeast of dallas. Police say officer sean lucas responded to a call of a possible fight outside a gas station saturday night. He tried to detain 31yearold Jonathan Price. Investigators say price resisted in a nonthreatening manner and began walking away. Lucas used his taser and fired his gun hitting price three times. Price was a City Employee and family described him as a model citizen trying to diffuse a domestic dispute. He had his hands up when luke as tased and shot him. The town is devastated. He was a very well liked young man. He was trying to help someone. And he got the worst end of it. Its what he always did, tried to help others. Sandra protestors have taken to the streets demanding justice. Officer lucas was released from jail after posting a 1 million bond. Its been more than 72 hours since his last fever. Oxygen levels including ambulatory saturation and work of breathing are all normal. So he may not entirely be out of the woods yet team and i agree all our evaluations and most importantly his clinical status support the president s safe return home. Trace white house physician Sean Connolly explain the decision to have trumps discharge. A few hours later the president left Walter Reed Hospital and returned to the white house where he is expected to continue his recovery from covid19. Dr. Marc siegel joins us now. He is also author of the new book covid, the politics of fear and the power of science. I look forward to reading that. Welcome to you as always. When dr. Conley says the president is not out of the woods yet, what exactly is he pointing to . Well, trace, i dont have the chart. I did hear from dr. Conley about the situation but i dont know details like what did the cat scan of his lungs show. There must have been some inflammation of the lungs. His saturation and oxygen level dropped and put him on dexamethasone. He also got the two antiviral agents, remdesivir and the antibodies against the virus. I agree with bill mcgurn on this. He will have a greater level of excitement against for these therapeutics that he has shown before. When i spoke to the president very excited about the therapeutics. The question of how much recovery he has left we cant know because we havent seen the chart. But the fact that he is sent back to the white house, his oxygen levels are good, that he has no fever, that he seems quite comfortable are really a good sign. And as dr. Conley indicated to me, they have a full staff of physicians looking after him at the white house. And they have a big facility there. So its not like when i tell a patient to go to their home. This is a big jazzed up situation at the white house. Trace it is interesting, for him going back to the white house, a doctor at nyu and dealt with a lot of coronavirus patients said the following here. I think it would be disastrous to be in a situation where he gets really sick at the white house and you are having to emergency transfer him. To me its not safe. You clearly disagree with that, dr. Siegel. Well, i see it differently, trace. Again, we always face that when we discharge a patient. We always say what would happen if they cycle back especially with this virus. Weve seen a lot of recurrent symptoms with this virus. So i am just not going to say what the right day of discharge should have been because i dont have the chart. We cant speculate on that. Ill tell you one thing i am focused on, though, the issue of transmission. I believe we have to assume that he is still contagious and i am hoping that the white house is taking very careful precautions to keep him isolated. Thats key. Whether you do that in a hospital or whether you do that at the white house, it has to be done. The risk of contracting a secondary infection might have been greater at the hospital. So thats another thing that factors into the decision. At the white house he is less likely to have a complication of that kind. But i our other expert that you have to be very careful not to discharge somebody prematurely. You dont want a disaster to occur at the white house. This virus is somewhat unpredictable. So far so good. Trace when the president said you should not be afraid of the virus. Dont be afraid of the virus House Speaker nancy pelosi had this to say. Watch. The president could be going back to the white house and become a long hauler. Someone who has consequences from this virus. He should not be dealing with it politically to make it look like he overcame the virus because he has had such good policy. Trace she seems to be intimating the white house is trying to pull one over on us. The president really is sicker than theyre letting on. What do you make of that . Well, thats the politics of fear again. She doesnt have any way of knowing how sick she is. What his cat scan showed and what his blood test showed. All of that again is speculation. There is something called the long hauler. Nancy pelosi is talking about something real. This is a real issue. This virus doesnt just go away overnight. On the other hand the president talking about courage in the face of the virus is a very good message to the American Public provided it is connected, trace, with precautions, with Public Health measures and masking and distancing. We have to combine the message of no fear but precautions. I dont think either side is doing a great job with that right now. I wouldnt assume that nancy pelosi is right that he is going in a chronically ill state as a result of this. Its a risk but we have a lot of ways to look at that and ive taken care of a lot of Covid Patients where i see indications of that pro or con. Do they have blood clots or inflammation in the lungs on cat scan, things like that. Trace goes without saying over the past six months regardless of what anybody things we have come leaps and bounds with the therapeutics to treat covid19. Dr. Siegel, good luck on the book and good to see you and luck on both fronts, dr. Siegel. Thank you very much. It is always good luck to see you, too, trace, thank you. Sandra the cdc has released brandnew guidance on covid19. What it is now saying about how the virus spreads and how long it can live in the air. And President Trump says he is eager to get back out on the campaign trail. So how will he and can he make up ground with just four weeks to go to election day . 2020 campaign National Press secretary hogan gidley with join us live next.

Trace the Chicago Police Department Says the city experienced its most deadly september in 27 years. 81 homicides reported last month, up 50 from last year. The city is on pace to record more than 600 homicides for the year. Sandra President Trump is back at the white house this morning and promising to get back on the campaign trail soon. With just 28 days to go until election day new polls show a widening gap between him and joe biden. Lets bring in National Press secretary hogan gidley. Welcome back. Good morning. We get the poll out of the way. Because in is out there. The new cnn poll after that first debate. It shows joe biden with a commanding lead now, 57 to President Trumps 41 . Coronavirus handling has been a central issue for the Biden Campaign. How does the messaging on the part of the Trump Campaign change, or does it, you tell me, after the president has been infected with it . Well, a couple of things. First of all not really going to listen to polls from cnn. They dont have the best, most stellar reputation for being real news and we can always talk about flawed methodology. I dont want to get into that. The same pollsters had the president down and out in 2016. He won the race then and doing the same thing right now. He has great numbers via our internal polling to retain the white house. Were looking forward to him getting back on the trail when the doctors say its physically feasible for him to do so. If he had his way i dont know he had ever gotten off the trail. He wants people to be safe and he wants people to take this very seriously but at the same time he wants them to be able to exercise their First Amendment rights to Assembly Especially when it relates to preparing to vote in this upcoming election. Sandra the only reason i say get this out of the way i know that you on the program frequently dismiss the polls. But 28 days to go you have to look at them and have to look at what they are reflecting as far as sentiment of the people and the direction theyre going heading into election day of course noting anything can change, 28 days is a long time still. But when you look at the question i just asked you, the coronavirus messaging your Campaign Came on this program yesterday morning, erin perrine is somehow now wanting a new line of attack on joe biden it appeared. You listen to it. Somehow that the president is best suited to lead us through this because he has now had the virus and joe biden cant because he hasnt been infected with it. Watch this. He has experienced as commander chief and has experience as a businessman and now has experience fighting the coronavirus as an individual. Those firsthand experiences joe biden doesnt have those. He doesnt know what it is like to create a job other than hunter. Joe biden doesnt know what its like to stand up and serve as commanderinchief of this country. Sandra is that a planned strategy on the campaign to attack biden because he hasnt had the virus . Thats obviously not what erin was talking about. She was discussing the president has leadership capabilities that joe biden just doesnt have. Just 47 months donald trump has done more to improve the lives of the American People that joe biden in 47 years. Its an abject failure for joe biden over a half centurys worth of time in elected office. I think its pretty obvious. Coronavirus hit the nation hard. Sandra leadership role on the part of the president. She said he has experience, the president now, fighting the virus as an individual. Those firsthand experiences, joe biden, he doesnt have those, she said. The president himself and the videos he released being very transparent letting the American People into his hospital room in essence talked about the fact he has learned so much about this virus. Having now gone through it. Sharing the experiences of so many people in this country now, he understands what the fights are that people have gone through. He understands now more about the medicine, more about the information. And that makes total sense. Anybody who experiences something directly has a different level of understanding about that experience. So the president is no different. He literally stared down coronavirus. Looks like he is on the best end of it. The best words ive heard dr. Conley say he is back. Were excited and when he is well enough hell be on the campaign trail. Sandra the doctors upon releasing him said see not out of the woods yet. Ill ask you based on the firsthand experiences what does it mean for the messaging on Wearing Masks, for example and social distancing in a rose garden event. Do those change . Listen, i am so angry at the way the media has covered this mask issues. He was talking about masks on march 31 and april 3 he stood with the cdc issued the guidelines Wearing Masks. The only thing the press was concerned about at the time was their vacations. A month and three days later before all the press actually wore masks inside the briefing room. This president has led on the issue at every single turn. And right now is no different. He pulled out a mask at the debate and said here, i have mine. I wear mine. We socially distance inside the white house, i worked there for three years. We wear masks inside the white house. The way the media tell it, its as though they have been Wearing Masks the entire time. They have not. The science on this shifted as you know. Dr. Fauci first said masks didnt matter. Then he said they do matter. Then they started Wearing Masks. As simple as that. Sandra were having a real conversation about it because even imagery and optics last night of the president standing up on the balcony facing the American People showing his strength pulls off his mask. Dont let this virus defeat you. Is there any concern about that level of optimism and what that does to the American People who are trying to buckle down, trying to wear their masks and trying to social distance so we can stop the spread of this virus . What message does that send . Even axios this morning writing about the risks rising in the west wing as he pulled off the mask, still knowing he has the coronavirus and then walks into the white house. Okay, a couple of things there again. The president is alone on the balcony outside. He takes his mask off. Flip over a couple of channels and look at msnbc. Joe biden is sitting there without a mask to lester holt without a mask. It is ridiculous to hear the media go appear oh mrek particular over that. Sandra the president is currently shedding the virus. He is still in the middle of the 10day virus phase. Nancy pelosi sees this a much different way. Ill have you respond to her latest words on the president acting frivolously. Listen. As president of the united states, if he is acting frivolously as he has done all along. He has been very destructive and dangerous to the country. Sandra ill ask you again is there any shift in messaging as the president is now back at home, back at work, hopefully back out on the campaign trail . This was not a central issue to your campaign. Is it now . Right, but the president message is clear. Be careful but dont be afraid. Folks, we are facing a Global Pandemic here. It cannot control and ruin our lives. We have shut down businesses to never return in this country. Millions of people have lost their jobs, have lost their livelihoods. Were trying to find a way to get this economy up and running. The president rebuilt the economy once, he will do it again. Were seeing people out there struggling to make car payments, house payments, rent payments. Its tough to put food on your table and clothes on your kids backs. When you look at joe bidens prescription of just shutting the country down. The president understands there is a way to move forward safely. He has led on this issue. Joe biden is back into a corner inside his basement and when pressed on it says of course i would shut the country back down again. Sandra he said if science said to shut down the country the roles have flipped. Biden is now out on the campaign trail heading to gettysburg, pennsylvania. As the wall street journal was writing this morning, you heard my conversation with bill mcgurn. Donald trump is at home now with the virus. Thats the right thing and hope he gets through it. Biden on the campaign trail. Whats the strategy on part of the campaign to make up ground in these final weeks. Final thoughts. Well, President Trump with coronavirus and quarantine at walter reed still did more events sunday than joe biden did first of all. Second of uted operation maga, something were very proud of at the campaign. Unleashing all of our folks here to go out across the country. A lot of virtual events. Utilizing the Vice President , first family, coalition groups. Black voices for trump, women for trump, latinos for trump. All over the country 12 states doing things safely but reminding the American People just the amount of recordsetting success this president s policies have done to improve the lives of all americans regardless of race, religion, color or creed. And also telling the American People how great this nation truly is. A beacon of freedom, hope and strength all over the world. We can talk about americas greatness because we believe in it. Joe biden cant because he doesnt. Sandra you talked about going full steam ahead. Your Campaign Manager bill stepien who contracted the virus as well. How is he doing . Im not going to get into specifics about him. He seems really good. I talked to him on the phone many times. On a Conference Call with him. He is full steam ahead. We understand whats at stake. We cant go backwards to depressed wages. Sandra we have lost hogan. Sometimes we go too long and we lose the satellite. Our apologies. Have you back soon. Trace some critics are blasting joe bidens town hall last night. The one thing we have to do is unite the country. Sandra if you havent seen this story yet. Have you seen this one before . With djokovic. Thats a serbian he hit the ball into a face of a line judge. He was not penalized that time around because the ball was in play. That makes it much different than this time, trace gallagher. It comes a month after djokovic was disqualified for hitting a line judge in the ball with the throat. We remember that moment. The difference that was in frustration and that match immediately ended. This latest one, i dont know. Can you say oh my gosh he did it again . Because it was in play the ball was redirected in play to the line judge. Trace he is looking this way. Facing the other way. The ball hits the end of the racket. There is nothing about that thats intentional. He does smoke the ball. When you get hit by djokovic you are getting hit by something over there. Sandra that will hurt. I hope that line judge is doing okay. Trace critics are sounding off about joe bidens town hall last night. Some political reporters calling it an infomercial for the former Vice President. The event was billed as a forum for undecided voters seeking answers but none of the questions challenged biden on his political record. Howie kurtz is the Fox News Media analyst and host of media buzz. Howard, great to see you. I want to put this quote up from politico from mark caputo. Nbcs town hall with joe biden and undecided voters in miami didnt seem to have undecided voters nor was it much of a miami town hall which would have way more yelling and pointed questions. It was a tv show that doubled as a biden infomercial. Cant blame him for doing it. Is that a proper assessment in your view, howie . Well, i was just amazed at lester holts first half dozen questions to joe biden were basically inviting him to criticize President Trump on his hospitalization and handling of covid. Biden was never pressed on the details of his record. At one point the nbc anchor said they say you havent accomplished anything in 47 years. Most of the audience questions were very sympathetic. The same thing happened at his recent cnn town hall. The toughest one is how do you deal with bullies. Not a grilling of the guy who might be the next president. Trace greg price says the following. I just watched that entire hourlong nbc news town hall with joe biden. No questions about whether he will pack the court, nuke the filibuster or add dc and puerto rico as states. How do you do a town hall and the question of your Supreme Court potential nominees and whether you will pack the court. How does it not come up . It is issue one, howie. Yeah, it seems to me that would be right at the top of the agenda. You cant ask about everything but nevertheless i didnt see biden being pressed. The contrast with the way that the media treat President Trump could not be starker. Trace youre exactly right. I want to put this on the screen quickly. We talked about undecided voters. A quick breakdown. You dont have to comment. One undecided leaned toward biden. One former republican, one republican who voted for Hillary Clinton, one undecided truly and six unidentified of the 11 questions that were asked to him. Now ill move on, howie, if i can. Your oped about the president conducting covid reads the following here. We have no way of knowing at this point how the president s Health Battle will play out or the impact on the last weeks of the campaign. But the days of mixed messaging certainly didnt help his cause. Speaking, of course, the doctors were saying Different Things than the white house. Talk about selfinflicted wounds. A weekend of confusion and contradiction. Whether the president s doctor not disclosing he was twice on oxygen or chief of staff mark meadows providing a reality check but telling reporters there were serious concerns about the president s vital signs. Since he has been released last night there has been negative coverage on steroids. Questions to be raised as the president being out of breath and taking off the mask and saying, you know, we know we can defeat covid. Listening and watching the coverage. So many of the journalists and pundits seem almost angry about the fact he got out of the hospital rather than breathing a sigh of relief that he was well enough to go back to the white house. Trace one calling him coronavirus in chief. It seems a little off base. Howie kurtz, great to see you, sir, thank you. Sandra thanks, trace. Vice president mike pence and Kamala Harris are gearing up for their only debate happening tomorrow night in ukah.

Sandra cdc out with new guidance how the coronavirus can spread. Jonathan serrie live in atlanta on that. Lets go straight to the guidance. This updated guidance acknowledges that there is evidence that under certain conditions people with covid19 seem to have infected others who were more than six feet away. Transmissions occurred within enclosed spaces that had inadequate ventilation. However, the new guidance on airborne transmission emphasizes available data indicate it is much more common for the virus that causes covid19 to spread through close contact with a person who has covid19, than through airborne transmission. Federal Health Officials say masks, social distancing, hand washing and avoiding crowds remain the best ways to protect yourself from the most common way this virus spreads. But dr. Anthony fauci is concerned people arent doing these common sense practices enough heading towards the holidays when more people will be gathering indoors. I would like to say that everything will be great by thanksgiving but honestly, chris, im not so sure it is. We have to get that baseline of infection down. Were stuck at 40,000. We have to go below 10,000. Way below 10,000. Throughout the country. We have to do it uniformly. Bottom line, keep wearing your masks. Trace fox news alert.

C. He thd to say about the debate. When the president told me he was headed back to the white house, he told me to head to utah and theyre looking very much forward to the Vice President ial debate. Stakes in this election have never been higher, the choice has never been clearer and i look forward to the opportunity to take our case to the American People for four more years. Senator harris got a running start. She arrived here last friday. Over the weekend she was visiting en in preparation. Mayor Pete Buttigieg has been helping her prepare while pam bondi has helped mike pence prepare now that he is on the ground. Sandra where do things stand for next week in miami . Looking forward, there is no indication right now at the moment that the commission on debates is not planning for an inperson event. We believe right now things are moving forward on that front. Now, we saw biden yesterday while he was campaign in florida saying that he is on board if the experts sign off. Watch. If the Scientists Say that its safe and the distances are safe, then i think thats fine. Ill do whatever the experts say is the appropriate thing to do. Im not an expert on it but i think we should be very cautious. The president back at the white house says he is ready to go.

We have the best medical equipment, we have the best medicines. All developed recently. And you will beat it. Sandra President Trump there returning to the white house last night after spending three days at Walter Reed Medical Center for treatment of covid19. Before his discharge he tweeted that he would be back on the campaign trail soon. His Campaign Says he aims to make the second debate with joe biden a week from thursday. Those doctors yesterday said he is not out of the woods yet. Lets bring in dr. Janette nesheiwat. Always good to talk to you and thank you for being here this morning. First to the president s doctors saying he is not out of the woods yet but he was out of the woods enough to let him leave the hospital and head back to the white house. To the president s condition what you have learned so far how is he doing . Thats correct, sandra. Our president has met the criteria set by his doctors at walter reed. That includes normal vital signs. Within normal limits. Oxygen saturation was normal. He did not have a temperature. His Blood Pressure and heart rate were within normal limits and no symptoms such as chest pain or shortness of breath. He met the criteria to go home. Our goal as physicians we want our patients to go home as soon as possible. You heal better in the comfort of your home plus you avoid the risk of what is called hospitalacquired infections. Theyre right. He is not in the clear yet or out of the woods yet. Today he will receive his fifth and final dose of remdesivir, which is the antiviral medication that will help block the virus from replicating in your body. And he needs to also continue with vital sign monitoring and quarantine while at the white house. He is on the path to recovery but still needs to be monitored closely until october 14th t twoweek mark. Sandra what about his ability to get on the campaign trail when you look at the timeline when he was first diagnosed . What would that tell you about his ability to get back on the campaign trail but get back up on the debate stage . Sure. That requires a lot of energy. It can be very stressful. The presidency is a stressful job. One of the most demanding in the world. Look, if he is improved and feeling better and asymptomatic by october 15th, the twoweek mark when he was first diagnosed october 1st he should be able to do that. If he is feeling fatigue, weak, running a fever or shortness of breath we need to take a second look and make sure he is not overexerting himself. This virus tends to wax and wane. Sometimes people will feel better but overdo it and their symptoms can regress. We dont want that to happen to our president. I feel reassured he is under the best care in the world with monitoring him and watching him very closely while continuing his current medication regimen. Sandra dr. Nesheiwat if i could put the New York Post up on the screen. Known for its coverage. Defiant trump removes mask after release from hospital. Faceoff it is head lined. What is your medical opinion when you saw the president arrive back at the white house last night and stood on the balcony, stood strongly and took the facemask off and walked back into the white house without wearing that mask. A lot of people are talking about this this morning. What did you think when you saw that . Yes, so i saw that when the president was outdoors alone, no one was around him and he took off his mask. That is appropriate. You can do that. There was no one around him. He was alone and outdoors. Now, when i go home, when i finish my shift at work, i dont wear my mask inside the house. It is important that he is quarantining and that there is no one around him. If there is someone around him they need to be wearing their mask. If he is in the comfort of his home he doesnt need to wear his mask if he is quarantining and away from other people. What i saw he was outdoors, alone, there was nothing wrong with him doing that. Sandra dr. Nesheiwat there was a similar response from the Trump Campaign earlier on that. It feels you made a comparison who not carrying the virus. He is carrying the virus. Shouldnt additional precautions be made when the white house, not just talking about the people who work with the president directly, but there are all kinds of aides, people cleaning rooms that work inside of the white house, and what we know about this virus living in the air. It is almost an optics thing. So many of us we go on about our lives wearing our masks as much as possible. Wondering about the president protecting other people in the white house what precautions have to be made knowing he is carrying the virus. Absolutely. We have to remember, sandra, he is in quarantine. Nobody should be around him. Yes, if he is around other people absolutely you have to wear your mask, everyone should. If he is in quarantine and alone and no one around him he doesnt need to wear his mask when he is outdoors. This is a highly infectious, contagious virus but when he is alone and no one is around its reasonable for him to take it off to have a breather. We all do that when were alone and outside. Sandra thanks for coming on. We always appreciate talking to you. Thank you. Well have much more on the president s return to the white house in our next hour when white house director of Communications Alyssa Farah joins us in americas newsroom. We look forward to that. I will be there in person. Well set the room up for social distancing. We are going to move on. Democrats will have plenty of time to ask her hard, relevant questions. If they try to destroy her it will blow up in their face like it did with kavanaugh. Trace Senate Judiciary Committee Lindsey Graham with a strong warning for democrats leaving no doubt nominations will begin as scheduled next monday for President Trumps Supreme Court nominee judge Amy Coney Barrett. But because of heightened coronavirus safety precautions the hearings will look different. Chad pergram live on capitol hill. It will certainly look a lot different. Some senators will be there in person. Some will not. Theyll be beaming in. You wont have the public in the building. Senate republicans are saying its okay to go ahead. Theyve done 150 hearings virtually since the pandemic started and this is a point that has been made by the Senate Majority leader mitch mcconnell. Its nonsense to suggest the tools that Senate Democrats have been happily using across all of our committees for months have suddenly gone bad overnight. Nobody is taking these disingenuous tactics at face value. Expect four days of hearings, two days next monday and tuesday to hear from Amy Coney Barrett. She will give her Opening Statement on monday. Senators also deliver their own Opening Statements that day. Questions are for tuesday and wednesday. Outside witnesses testify on thursday. Democrats are worried about speeding through the hearing. I dont think there is any unreasonableness to a Judiciary Committee members request that a hearing on the single most important appointment that the senate might make should be done in person. And that if its done in person it should be done in person in a way thats safe. Theyre looking at putting this nomination on the floor for a vote around the end of the month. Keep in mind Amy Coney Barrett has a maximum of 51 republican senators in favor of her. You cannot vote by proxy or be absent and vote on the senate floor. They have to be there. Senators are sick or tested positive or in quarantine could possibly delay or even imperil this nomination. Trace. Trace chad pergram live on capitol hill. Thank you.

It took place after a top aide hope hicks tested positive for covid19 and there are reports the president had already gotten his first positive test. With the knowledge they had before they left for new jersey that there was exposure to a covid positive individual, that trip was completely unacceptable, completely reckless, and completely uncalled for. Trace he says the state is conducting could be e Contact Tracing of guests and staff members. Sandra the Supreme Court reinstated a requirement that South Carolina voters use mailin ballots this november get a witness to sign those ballots. Democrats argued against the rule saying the coronavirus pandemic could make it hard to get witnesses. Republicans defended it as an anti fraud measure. Eric shawn is live in new york with the latest. What does this decision mean . Sandra, you know, its seen as a big wins for republicans in South Carolina. Critics say sit a defeat for democracy. The u. S. Supreme Court Backing the states move to a witness signature when voters mail in absentee ballots. They need to have someone else sign the envelope when they send it in. The aim say republicans and state legislature is to prevent voter frauds. Democrats charge it makes it harder for people to vote. Democratic lawyer mark elias argued that, quote, the witness requirement increases the risk of covid19 infection and transmission and unconstitution nallly burdens the right to vote. But writing for the majority there was states right for backing the signature rule writing a state legislatures decision to keep or make changes in election rules to address covid19 shouldnt be second guessed. Courts should not alter state election rules in the period close to an election. The ruling will likely have its greatest impact on the heated race between senator Lindsey Graham and challenger. The state has had that signature requirement for 70 years. Voters swear an oath theyre eligible to vote and say who they say they are. And the oath is then signed by someone else, a witness who also puts down his or her address. If voters dont want to mail in their absentee ballot, absentee voting has start evidence started in South Carolina yesterday.

Casey, why did police decide to charge lucas . Good morning. No one is saying what the specifics are of this case.

Sandra casey stiegel live from dallas for us this morning. Thank you. These are pictures from the past couple of weeks. And these are just emblematic. You have all seen pictures like this for weeks. New York Governor Andrew Cuomo calling out the new york jewish community. There was one small problem. Lets bring in sharly shimkus with fox News Headlines 24 7. Carley, always good to see you. That one problem happens to be when the governor was showing the pictures of that Orthodox Community they werent the right pictures. One of those pictures was taken 14 years ago, trace, at a funeral for a rabbi made even more pointed because the governor the Governors Team switched out the image and realized the error. There is so much going on right now in new york city because several neighborhoods in brooklyn and queens are seeing a rise in cases. Some schools shut down today and going back to Virtual Learning. A big debate whether nonessential businesses should be shut down as well. Governor and mayor didnt agree with that. And they did not end up being shut down. It caused a lot of consternation among business leaders. On the religious front the governor said if religious institutions dont follow coronavirus standards he will shut down churches and synagogues once again. He will meet with religious leaders to figure all that out. Trace the Governors Team said it was a staff error caught in realtime at the presser and swapped out with this photo that was taken two weeks ago at the same location. The new slide was up during the last 10 minutes of the press conference. They did swap it out. Carley, the whole thing is you have members of the Orthodox Community who believe they are being singled out by the governor. You have one jew who said this proper brooklyn quoting. People are very turned off and very burned out. It is not like were the only people in new york getting covid, right . Its a fair assessment. Yeah. You know, there already have been countless lawsuits in the spring when governors moved to shut down religious institutions. The argument was how can the government tell me what is essential . Why is a liquor store for essential than my church . Protestors had an added argument because a lot of the governors and local leaders shutting down the churches were also praising protestors. If the churches and sin synagogues get shut down again its another lawsuit again. Trace the protests start and theyre fine and have restaurants and theyre not fine. Then you can get a plane, get on a plane with 300 people and shoulder to shoulder for five hours acrosscountry, thats fine. But you cant gather for religious ceremonies and some people are fed up by that. Last word on this. Its also about the timing. Were hitting fall. We are going into winter. There could be a conversation about reshutting down. Imagine, trace, what the world will look like if we have to face that again. My concern is people just wont do it the next time and that could be a big old mess that i dont think this country wants, needs, desires at all. Trace definitely fatigue out there.

The red planet has moved closer to earth this month. Now only 38. 6 million miles away. It wont be that close for another 15 years.

Right now make it in 6 1 2 months. Can you imagine going back and forth in a year . Sandra if you didnt have a chance to see it over the weekend in the night sky. All of october you have the opportunity. It is a sight to see. Beautiful picture, by the way. Trace awesome. One of the reasons when i said i was running three objectives. One, to restore the soul of this country so we start acting with the decency that reflects who we are. Secondly, rebuild the middle class and thirdly unite the country. Sandra that was joe biden at a town hall last night in miami. Critics say the questions went easy on the former Vice President who during the town hall blamed President Trump for getting the coronavirus. Today biden heads to battleground pennsylvania where real clear politics has him in front of the president by over 6 points. Lets bring in chris stirewalt. Cohost of the ill tell you what podcast. You cant even say it without a little attitude, right, chris . To that town hall last night, you heard some of the criticism. Softball questions to joe biden rather than pressing him on his multiple decades in public service. So how do you think it went . Well, you want to start out with the acknowledgement that a town hall is not an interview. We do town halls, everybody it is a slightly different format and i will also say lester holt did a better job. Cnn did one recently in pennsylvania that was ridiculous. This was not, though, rigorous by any stretch of the imagination t. Problem here was these were billed as undecided voter. Expectation versus reality. These are undecided voters we want to hear. They didnt sound like undecided voters, right . There were a few in there that were challenging but overall the effect was that this was more of a rap session with friends than it was any sort of test of a candidate. Sandra there were a few others that agreed with you. Here is politico reporter saying nbcs town hall with joe biden undecided voters in miami didnt seem to have undecided voters. Nor was it much of a miami town hall which would have way more yelling and pointed questions. It was a tv show that doubled as a biden info mer shal. I watched the town hall with joe biden. No questions whether he will pack the court, nuke the filibuster or add dc or puerto rico as state and also no questions about china. All fair, chris . Well, first of all the reason there is so much shouting in miami they drink all the coffee with sugar in them. Youll be wound up if you drink that coffee. I dont think you had to ask about china. If this were an event, associate myself wholly with caputos comments. It is right on. I dont think at a town hall you have to ask about each particular line item because the idea in a town hall is you are supposed to be connecting the candidate to the voters. Thats okay if you dont ask everything. Sandra there was this moment where joe biden clearly blamed the president for his actions in contracting the coronavirus, listen. Look, anybody who contracts the virus by essentially saying masks dont matter, social distancing doesnt matter, i think is responsible for what happens to them. Sandra how is that going over, chris . I mean, biden is essentially running as a mask, right . I expect him to come out wrapped in a complete body mask the next time. And he is not unwise to do so because he is where the voters are, right . Voters are anxious. We see a resurgence and uptick. A lot of anxiety out there. You guys were talking about whats going on in new york and other states especially wisconsin a swing state. So he is going to where the voters are. In terms of whether he pays a price for being critical of trump there are a lot of democrats like pfeifer, the former obama dude who wants biden to get tougher sooner. Dont wait to crack down on trump. Biden has to walk the careful line critical of trump but if he goes too far he is going to sound like he is mean spirited about the commanderinchief while he is sick. Sandra surely people can still contract the virus while playing it safe and Wearing Masks and social distancing and we dont know where someone catches it. I want to ask you about tomorrow night. Tomorrow night is the big debate in utah for the Vice President ial debate. Expectations seem to be higher than usual for this. We talked to bill mcgurn earlier saying dont underestimate mike pence in this debate. Are you talking about the exclusive fox news experience, the 2020 live experience, what you can do while youre watching this debate and post debate. Tell us about it. I dont know why anybody would want to watch the debate with me. A lot of people did last time apparently. It is really cool. You will see a cr code on your screen. You use your phone, your tablet, device, get ahold of that and it will take you to our democracy 2020 live experience. Now once you are in there, you get a lot of added value, right . You arent just passively watching the debate, you are participating as you go. You get the trivia, vote about how things are going and you get me and our colleague chad pergram, the pride of southwestern ohio as we talk about how we think the debate is going. Whats the history, the context, all of that stuff. It is a lot of fun. I enjoyed doing it last week and excited about this week. Sandra i can understand. These things happen so late. You are sitting there. The kids are in bed and you want somebody to go through it with. The perfect guy for that. I understand why everybody is watching the debate with you. These are just otherwise my friends and colleagues. I give them to the folks at home instead of them. Sandra excellent. Thats great, chris, thank you so much. See you tomorrow night. You bet, thank you. Trace police in florida asking for help in the search of a missing mother of three. The last thing she did before she disappeared.

These clusters have to be attacked and picture those hot spots as embers within the field of dry grass, okay . Thats how i think of it. Trace Governor Andrew Cuomo shutting down 300 schools in nine new york city neighborhoods where covid19 cases are on the rise. Mayor bill deblasio threatening to shut down nonessential businesses until the outbreak is under control. Lets bring in Charles Payne, host of making money on fox business. Charles, always great to see you. What baffles me in this whole situation is that you have the new york mayor, bill deblasio in favor of shutting down schools after acknowledging that schools are not the problem. Listen to this. This is not because we have seen a number of specific problems in our schools, public schools, we have not. This is out of abundance of caution. Trace abundance of caution, charles. You could shut the whole city down out of an abundance of caution. Yeah, you absolutely could. You know, at one point he was talking about shutting down all the schools. If you shut down one you have to shut them all done. I guess thats part of the line of thinking with the mayor. Listen, we know already that this is something that we are going to have to learn to live with and we can no longer afford these sort of mass shutdowns. New york especially new york city unemployment is 16 in new york city. Whats the number, 560,000 people less people working now than perhaps gone forever. So they just keep going. Deblasio thinks its the only answer. What happens to these kids who dont have laptops, who dont have high Speed Internet who have difficulty learning from home . What happens to their parents who cant go to work . The toll just keeps mounting and mounting and mounting. But it doesnt get to mayor deblasio. In this case i think cuomo is also playing a dangerous game. Trace it always fascinates me, charles. You look for the lowhanging fruit the politicians go for. You see the jets flying acrosscountry, they have 300 people, people sitting shoulder to shoulder and the lowhanging fruit seems to be restaurants. Here is bill deblasio on shutting restaurants down again. Watch. Both indoor and Outdoor Dining would be closed in these areas, of course, as was true throughout the crisis, restaurants would still be able to do delivery and have pickup by their customers. Trace killing restaurants and you look at the evidence and there is zero evidence that outdoor restaurants are spreading the virus. The outdoor restaurants game has been overwhelming success in an otherwise disappointing quagmire which as temperatures start dropping will get worse. Even the notion of 25 capacity would still mean literally tens of thousands of these restaurants going out of business. Certainly again these blanket approaches is so weird. It feels more punitive, it really does. When i hear sometimes the governor really more often the mayor talk about these ways of addressing it.

Sandra President Trump back at home this morning at the white house still battling covid19. He says he feels better than he did 20 years ago. The president s doctors say he may not be out of the woods just yet. Welcome back to americas newsroom. Im sandra smith and by way, trace, the president just tweeting out he is up to the debate next week as well. Good morning. Trace thats good to hear. Good day to you. Im trace gallagher. The president returned last night from Walter Reed Medical Center but to a different white house than the one he left. The west wing a ghost town after the Coronavirus Spread among the staff. Still the president telling americans this. President trump dont let it dominate. Dont let it take over your lives. Dont let that happen. We are the greatest country in the world. We are going back to work. We will be out front. Trace those comments along with this image making headlines this morning. The cover of the New York Post headlinesed faceoff after the put pulled his mask off when he arrived home. Supporters are calling it a sign of strength. Critics call it irresponsible. Moments from now well hear from alyssa farah, the white house Communications Director but we begin with john roberts. Second president ial debate is nine days from now. Even if the president were to maintain his progress, he is supposed to quarantine for 10 days. He is insisting that he is going to make the next debate tweeting in just the last three minutes im looking forward to the debate on the evening of thursday, october 15 in miami. It will be great. The president certainly taking a bullish attitude toward his recovery and trying to impart that sensibility to the nation as well. Typically when he returns to the white house on marine one he just walks underneath the awning into the diplomatic reception room. Last night something different. He mounted the stairs to the south balcony and there between flags he insisted America Needs to go back to work and coronavirus is nothing to fear. Listen here. President trump we are going back to work and be out front. As your leader i had to do that. I knew there was danger to it but i had to do it. I stood out front, i led. Nobody that is a leader would not do what i did. And i know there is a risk, there is a danger. But thats okay. Now im better. Democrats and Television Commentators critical of what a president said accusing him having a cavalier attitude toward the virus. On Fox Friends First early this morning Rudy Giuliani the president was echoing the words from another generation and crisis. We minds me of roosevelts message at the beginning of his administration. The only thing you have to fear is fear itself. No video from the president this morning but working his twitter feed. Flu season is coming out. Many die from the flu. Will we close down our country . No, just like were learning to live with covid who is far less lethal. Were waiting to see if anybody working at the white house test positive for coronavirus. So far some 20 people if not more have tested positive after either being at the Amy Coney Barrett barrett event in the rose garden or involved in the debate prep or prep. They are trying to do Contact Tracing to see if the rose garden event could have been a super spreader event. Trace a bunch of people. Sandra for more on this lets bring in alyssa farah, director of white house communications. The president just tweeted out feeling great. He also said that he is looking forward to the debate next week. What more can you tell us about the president s condition this morning . The president is improving dramatically and quickly. Listen, we understand he is not out of the woods and continuing to be monitored by his doctor and medical team here. He is energetic. Taking senior staff around him to say lets slow down the pace. He is working and here at the white house making calls, meeting with senior advisors. His priorities are focusing on the American People. We have a Supreme Court nominee that we want to usher through to confirmation. Working to defeat this virus. A lot of focus has been on the president s state. His focus is on what more therapeutics can i get on the market. How are we moving through getting vaccine . Long answer, short, he is doing very well. Sandra based on that answer because we spoke to the Trump Campaign earlier and asked the same thing ill ask you. Does the president feel like he wants to change the messaging on the coronavirus or even make it more of a central issue of his campaign now that he has experienced it firsthand . I think it has been a central issue. Weve said it is one of the most important things affecting our koun tre. From the outset he has been working round the clock to get ppe and ventilators and you are the most likely to survive and get treatment for coronavirus in the u. S. Than ever prior because of this president s leadership and how he has prepared us to deal with it. I think it is still very much a focus but he will talk about forwardlooking. Where we are with therapeutics and where were getting to the vaccine and reopen the country and get people back to normal life safely. Sandra you think it has been a central issue. I think many people listening would push back and say what about the rose garden event . Lack of social distancing. Not to bring it back up again but that was the reality that we saw of the white house, the campaign, the no mask wearing. Is it fair to say that it was a central issue of the Trump Campaign, the coronavirus . I dont seek speak for the campaign. We always take precautions at the white house. In light of the president s positive test and first lady well take more for the time being to protect essential staff around him. Our message has been the same from the outset of this. The basic mitigation practices are the most important thing to protecting americans. Sandra when you say that we start to remember the images of the rose garden again of all those people comingling there. Some of them hugging and shaking hands. Breaching social distance. Let me read this to you and its new and you can react. I dont know if thats your phone. This is an ap headline. White house staff secret service virus with fear and anger, the west wing of the white house is a ghost town from the article nonetheless the mood within the white house remains somber with staff fearful they may have been exposed to the virus. A new reality. It seemed like a bubble of safety is anything but. They have been engaged in finger pointing offer conflicting reports released about the president s health and lack of information provided internally. What do you say . I dont give much credence to anonymous sources. I am willing to put my name to it. We feel comfortable working here. Those of us still here. Were talking precautions in the west wing. It is a serious time and we need to wash our hands and Wearing Masks when we cant socially distance. Thats not representative of the vibe in the white house. If anything the team has been highly inspired by the president s strong leadership through this. I just want to address one thing. There was some criticism over him going to the truman balcony and waving. Sandra we have the image up next of his standing at the balcony. I will ask you about that. There is another Vantage Point where the president just taken off his mask, stands at the balcony and then you see a photographer quickly behind him and when we were speaking to doctors earlier he was standing alone. He wasnt. There was a pher close in proximity to a man who has been diagnosed with covid19 and still very much sick with it. Let me address the first point and get to that. The first, in times like these the commanderinchief needs to express confidence but very important to our allies and adversaries watching closely to see is he projecting an image of strength . Thats what he did last night. Precautions were taken. His mask was not taken off until he was distanced from other. The fraefr photographer. S know to wear masks and when we work with the president wear your mask, keep your distance. This is much a due about nothing. The world and American People needed to see the their president strong and leading. Sandra it was ap. Wall street journal. Theyve long played down wearing facemasks hours before the president tested positive. They dismissed or ignored Public Health safety precautions. Biden said its the president s own fault he is sick with it. We heard that from joe biden last night. I think its ridiculous. This president has been leading. Joe biden talks about what he would do. Everything he mentions this president has already done. Surging ppe, surging therapeutics, racing to get a safe and effective vaccine to market. Making sure we have adequate ventilators and rebuild the national stockpile. This president has done more while sick with the coronavirus than joe biden does on an average day. The American People want a fighter and tough leader. Thats what they have in President Trump. Sandra this is the president s video message that is also getting a lot of headlines this morning. Dont let the virus dominate you, says the president. Listen. President trump dont let it dominate. Dont let it take over your lives. Dont let that happen. Were the greatest country in the world. We are going back to work, well be out front. As your leader i had to do that. I knew there was danger to it but i had to do it. I stood out front, i led. Sandra perhaps you can explain the messaging there as you try to point out the president s message there, his standing on the balcony, taking off the mask as a sign of strength. Isnt the best thing we can do for this country to get rid of this virus and show that we can defeat it . Absolutely. So the president s message there is clear. While taking the safe mitigation practices weve known since the outset of this virus americans need to get back to ordinary life. We have businesses closing, people who cannot make ends meet. We have child abuse cases going unreported. Children falling behind in schools. These are all things the president is actively fighting against. He wants us to get through the coronavirus, be safe, be smart so we can get back to normal life. Our economy is improving rapidly precisely because of his leadership. His point is we cant do this forever. We cant keep our nation locked down. Maybe thats the safest thing to deal with the coronavirus but it is certainly not for dealing with mental health, addiction and child abuse cases. He wants americans back to normal life safely. Sandra everybody wants to get back to life safely. We agree on that. The president does plan to debate next week . Yes, he does. He is looking forward to it and he is ready and go in with a new mindset on the coronavirus firsthand. He lost friends to this and grieved with americans but he is coming as a survivor and you will hear that in the debate. Sandra is that something he is strategizing right now . I have not been involved if debate strategy. I will circle back with you on that. Sandra well have you back soon. Thank you. Trace. Trace Vice President mike pence and senator Kamala Harris are in utah preparing for the Vice President ial debate tomorrow night. President trump is planning to return to the campaign trail soon. Meantime his democratic challenger joe biden is traveling to pennsylvania to make another push for voters in this key battleground state. Mark meredith live for us in gettysburg, pennsylvania. How is biden planning to frame his message to voters there today . Were told the message will be focused on unity and bringing the country together. The Biden Campaign is also relying heavily on one of its most highprofile surrogates michelle obama. The Biden Campaign releasing a new video message from the former first lady where she delivers a critique of President Trumps pandemic response. They are calling it a Closing Argument from the campaign and says while some people may not love either major partys candidate, she says americans really should avoid third party options. I know we dont have the luxury to assume that things are going to turn out okay. We cannot afford to withhold our votes or waste them on a protest candidate. The Biden Campaign is launching new ads of it own. Biden was in florida yesterday meeting with voters in miami including Little Havana and little haiti and took questions from voters in a televised town hall. One person asked him about the difference between him and bernie sanders. I look like a socialist . Look, im the guy that ran against a socialist, remember . I got in trouble through the whole campaign. 20 some candidates joe biden was too moderate, too straight forward . That was joe biden. I have taken on the very people that, in fact, youre worried about. During that same town hall, biden said that he considered reaching out to President Trump while he was in the hospital but decided not to do it thinking it would be intrusive. Meantime all eyes on the running mates tomorrow as senator harris takes on Vice President mike pence for the debate in Salt Lake City. Trace Mark Meredith live in gettysburg. Our special coverage begins at 6 00 p. M. Eastern time with bret baier and Martha Maccallum and at 9 00 p. M. Vice president pence and senator Kamala Harris take the stage on wednesday for their 90minute faceoff. Sandra this just in. Hurricane delta strengthening to a category three major storm and forecasters say it will get stronger before it hits the gulf coast. More from the Hurricane Centers new update along with the storms expected path just ahead. Plus President Trumps doctors warning the next few days are crucial to his prognosis with some warning he could suffer a setback. What we have learned about his treatment plan next. If youre asking me my opinion i think it made a difference but whenever you have an n equals 1 you cant prove it. I think the Monoclonal Antibody made a difference. Record low rates have dropped to new all time lows. With the va streamline refi theres no appraisal, no Income Verification, and no money out of pocket. One call can save you 3000 a year. Youve gone several days out and doing well. He looks very well. You dont need me to tell you that. You saw the way he came out of the helicopter into there. He looked like he was in pretty good shape. Trace dr. Anthony fauci after President Trump returned to the white house from Walter Reed Medical Center yesterday to continue recovery from covid19. He is being given a cocktail of experimental drugs. Dr. Fauci says the president s doctors need to be prepared for a reversal of the illness. The director of the Harvard Global Health Institute is with us. Play another sound bite from dr. Fauci. The issue is he is early enough in the disease that its no secret that if you look at the clinical course of people, sometimes when you are 5 to 8 days in you can have a reversal. Trace do you worry about the reversal or the regression of the president s course of this disease, sir . Good morning thanks for having me on. We do. I think one has to be concerned and just pay close attention. Obviously hoping that does not happen. That the president continues to get better. But unfortunately even dr. Conley said over the weekend 7 to 10 days. Puts him out to the end of this week and maybe over the weekend before we can breathe a sigh of relief. Trace interesting you say 7 to 10 days and heard a lot of that. We dont really know precisely when the president contracted coronavirus. So its hard to make a determination when those 7 to 10 days actually hit. Absolutely right. This is one of the reasons why i think a lot of people have been asking when his last negative test was. Because it would really help us understand when he became positive and of course we think the symptoms started thursday. And there is a little bit of fuzziness around this. From the day he became positive, onset of symptoms . Different studies are contradictory. He is not out of the woods. Well have to watch him very closely. He will get great care over the next four or five days and see how he does. It is important to lay out to people the 7 to 10 day thing is not made out of whole cloth. This is something we have studies that show why 7 to 10 days, what is happening to the body in that time. Absolutely, yeah. This is there is quite a bit of data on this. There are two phases of this virus, infection. The first the virus replicates, body mounts an immune response. Thats the first 5 to 7 days. Then what happens is that you get in some proportion of people a profound immune response. That immune response actually ends up being harmful and can damage the lungs and the blood vessels and can end up killing people. This is why we use the powerful steroid dexamethasone to suppress the immune response and thats what the president got. Thats the second phase and where people the end to turn worse. Sometimes get into a lot of trouble. Well hope and pray thats not what happens to the president. But were not out of the woods on that. Trace doctor, you mentioned dexamethasone. I want to put this on the screen. These are some of the side effects. A steroid, of course, they, aggression, agitation, anxiety, irritability, move changes. Noisy, rattling breathing, weight gain. A few other things. Thats the primary ones. Do you worry at all about people on dexamethasone and how it affects them down the road . The president will get a sort course. Im not worried about longterm effects of dexamethasone for him. But we definitely see in 30, 40 of people pretty substantial affects on all those things that you mentioned, anxiety, the agitation, the sort of those are the things that the doctors will have to watch for and seeing if any of that is happening in the short run. Not a longterm problem but a shortterm issue. Trace road rage was a steroid thing. It was a real thing. A lot of bodybuilders and wrestlers have been through that. What about psychologically. Any concerns there about the use of steroids on the psyche . There is a new study out yesterday that almost 90 of people with covid have had some neurologic symptoms at some point. A third or so can get conclusion and you throw in steroids that can also call that. All that will be closely monitored by his doctors. Im concerned especially in an older gentleman like our president that it will be a risk factor. We have to watch him closely. Im not involved in his care and i cant comment but it is a concern. Trace great information, sir. Thank you. Thank you. Sandra the cdc revising its guidance on the coronavirus and how it spreads. What that means for you coming up. Plus joe biden facing scrutiny after a town hall last night with critics wondering whether the participants were really undecided voters. Im used to bullies. I used to stutter when i was a kid. I learned how to fight. Got a nickname they called me shoe leather. I was little. They could beat me up but i hurt them in the process. Trace some of the stories making headlines right now. President trump back at the white house after days in the hospital battling covid19. Doctors warn he is not out of the woods just yet but he will have round the clock medical care at the white house. Sandra hurricane delta seconds ago strengthening to a category 4 as it speeds toward the gulf coast now less than a half hour after it was upgraded to a cat 3. Landfall expected late friday night into saturday. The models are showing it slamming louisiana and mississippi. This far out everyone from the texas coast to the Florida Panhandle is watching closely. Trace thats a big one. Its a boy. The Smithsonian National zoo in d. C. Announce a 6 week old panda cub. Pandas a notoriously hard to breed. Next question comes from an undecided voter. Lets get our next question from Michelle Cruz from corral gables. Lets go to iz mall who voteed for Hillary Clinton but voted republican in the past. Sandra thats a look at the audience asking questions last night at the nbc town hall for joe biden. Among the participants revealed political positions none were supporters of President Trump or leaning towards voting for him. Some political pundits accuse nbc of handling biden with kid gloves and producing an were those undecided voters answering those questions . Im distracted by the baby panda. Last night was a very cozy event. Friendly confines for the former Vice President similar to what we saw last time that he did on cnn. At least they had cnn they had people who didnt plan to vote for him and had tough questions for him. Last night it seemed that everyone was identified was either going to be supporting the former Vice President in november or leaning in that direction. And all i would suggest for viewers, whether you love President Trump and hate joe biden or love joe biden and hate President Trump or you are somewhere in between. If you go back and look up on youtube or online last nights nbc news forum with joe biden and just look at the questions and the tone and the tenor. And then you watch the abc news forum with President Trump from a number of weeks ago. I think it is undeniable that one was hostile and difficult, and chmore of a hardball style event. The trump we saw something again very different last night and people can draw their own conclusions how that came to be. But look, im sure if you are joe biden, his campaign, you are thrilled. Sandra okay. So, guy, as far as the latest National Poll were all looking at the cnn poll this morning. We talked to the Trump Campaign this morning and they dismissed it. It shows joe biden polling 57 up 16 points over President Trump. Weve got just weeks to go until election day. What do you expect to see on the part of both campaigns considering biden is out on the trail today and President Trump is just arrived back home fighting covid . Making any predictions about this cycle is a questionable endeavor given the insanity of every single news cycle it seems. Whatever i tell you right now could be proven wrong in a matter of not just hours but minutes. Ill just say this. It is important to watch. Im not to pollster but i have the pollsters say follow the averages. We can talk about a slashy nbc poll that has a 14point lead for biden and cnn16point lead and other polls have it closer. What is key is looking at the average. The average is showing that biden as has been the case for the entire year, ahead comfortably and that lead is growing incrementally. Whether it will tighten over the next few weeks i wouldnt be surprised. At this point it would be hard to surprise me with anything. Sandra surprise, the president is still battling covid and he is inside the white house but tweeted a short time ago he is looking forward to the debate. He is going to debate next week joe biden on that debate stage. We have the Vice President ial debate happening tomorrow night in utah, of course, some different Safety Measures are going to be in place including a divider, plexiglas divider, more socially distanced than the president ial debate. I wonder whats in store for the big president ial debate next week. The president said he will be there. Final thoughts, guy. It will look tomorrow somewhat distoneian with all the plexiglas and stuff. If they need to take some of these precautions im all for that. Based on some of the timelines weve been thinking about. I was very interested in traces interview with that doctor from harvard a few minutes ago on the show. If everything goes according to the timeline that we believe is roughly accurate, trump could be the president could be cleared and fully recovered right around the day before that next debate and then i assume he would be chomping at the bit to get back out there. That could be yet again a huge flash point in the campaign that has had no shortage of them. Sandra guy benson, always good to talk to you. Thank you, guy. You bet. Trace the cdc has updated its website how always enough distance to keep you safe. Jonathan serrie live in atlanta, home to the cdc. Jonathan, how concerned should people be about airborne transmission . Something to keep in the back of your mind. The cdc emphasizes that airborne transmission, in other words these very tiny particles traveling more than six feet, lingering in the air for more than several minutes is not the most common way the coronavirus is spread. But the agency dosage, quote, there is evidence that under certain conditions people with covid19 seem to have infected others who were more than six feet away. These transmissions occurred within enclosed spaces with inadequate ventilation. The latest data suggests its much more common for it to spread through close contact with an infected person through larger respiratory droplets that level less than 6 feet. Wearing masks, trying to stay six feet away from others, washing hands and avoiding crowds remain the best ways to protect yourself from covid19 until there is a vaccine. Dr. Anthony fauci says he is cautiously optimistic a safe and effective vaccine will be approved by the end of the years but doses will be distributed to high risk groups. One of them will be healthcare workers, others will be those individuals with underlying conditions that put them at a higher risk for getting a serious outcome. Dr. Fauci predicts that additional doses will become available to the general public several months into the new year. Trace, back to you. Jonathan serrie live in atlanta. Jonathan, thank you. Sandra coach bobby boudin testing positive for the covid. He was in the hospital being treated for an infection and tested positive after he returned home. So far he says he has not experienced any symptoms. He coached Florida State for 34 years winning 357 games. He won the National Championship in 1993 and 1999. What a career. We wish him the best, trace. Trace you have to love him. He was asked how do you feel. I feel good but i guessly have to take it kind of easy this week. A great coach. It has happened again. Right . Thats an ad lib. The white house now considering a National Address, the president were being told he just came from from Walter Reed Medical Center last night and now being told the president is considering a National Address at some point later on this afternoon or this evening. Timing on that is still being worked out. That would be significant. We are continuing to work on this breaking news and well bring you more on the other side. Meantime it has happened again. A fight breaking out on board another plane mid flight. What happened here . Vice president mike pence and senator Kamala Harris pretending for their headtohe tomorrow. Vice president ial debate and why this one might be a bit different just ahead. I will send out an army to find you in the middle of the darkest night its true, i will rescue you oh, i will rescue you arecord low Mortgage Rates have just dropped to new all time lows. Veterans can refinance their loans with no Income Verification, no appraisal, and no out of pocket costs. One call to newday usa can save you 3,000 every year. You could start saving, beginning with your next mortgage payment. Refi now at these historic low rates. Sandra a man was sitting on a bench at a manhattan station when a homeless man approached him, asked for a dollar and stabbed in the neck when he refused. The injuries are not life threatening. No arrests made. Stabbing on saturday in another subway station left a man in his 20s dead. That suspect is also still at large. Five people meanwhile killed in gun violence across philadelphia including one man shot nine times in a lowes parking lot in the middle of the day. The number of kills in the city so far this year to 356, equal to the total for all of last year. The last time philly surpassed 350 homicides was in the year 2007. Trace Vice President mike pence and senator Kamala Harris are about to face off on the debate stage for the first time tomorrow in Salt Lake City, utah. It could be a show stopper. Richard fowler joins us now, fox news contributor. You look at the Vice President ial debates. Good to see you, sir, thank you for joining us. You look at these debates. Not as hyped up as the top of the ticket certainly. Dont normally get as many viewers. This one to me feels different. What about you, richard . This one does feel different. The reason for that is there are two major head winds going into this Vice President ial debate weve seen like no other Vice President ial debate before. The first head win last weeks president ial debate was chaotic to say the least. The second headwind is the fact there are about 9 or 10 white house staffers, including the president and the first lady and the press secretary who are infected with covid19. Make covid19 center stage at this debate and all the American People, all American Voters will be looking to both candidates to figure out who has the best plan to actually flatten the curve and get america ahead when it comes to dealing with coronavirus. Trace what about knowing the candidates. There is a lot of unknowns about Kamala Harris. You had Vice President mike pence, even if you dont vote for him you know him. He still heads up the Coronavirus Task force. Kamala harris is out there, people know a little bit about her background but not as much. She is still avoiding some of the questions that joe biden is avoiding. Conservative commentator liz peek wrote both harris and biden refused to say whether they favor packing the Supreme Court and abolishing the Electoral College. It is unacceptable. These controversial ambitions of the left would fundamentally change how our democracy works and the future will be. Voters deserve to know where the candidates stand. Your thoughts on that, richard . Look, this will be a very good debate. Both mike pence as well as senator Kamala Harris will come to this debate with their agame. Do i think issues of packing the court and abolishing the Electoral College is front street of this debate . Absolutely not. The Vice President pence doesnt think abolishing the Electoral College is the way to go. Kamala harris who will be the first vote on Amy Coney Barrett likely to be the next Supreme Court justice begin to create a contrast between not only mike pence but the entire Republican Party. You will probably hear her say it in the debate tomorrow. Instead of the Republican Senate working toward getting some sort of covid relief to the American People they are more concerned with filling a Supreme Court seat. Instead of the Republican Party trying to bail out the airlines which have taken major layoffs over the past couple weeks theyre more concerned about filling the Supreme Court seat and it will be the job of mike pence to combat that and here is how were responding to covid19. It is an uphill battle. The president and first lady both are infected with covid19. Trace as much as you say covid19 is topic one. The Supreme Court issue will come up and packing the court will come up. If Kamala Harris and joe biden both avoid the question it wont look good. Political science professor Richard Davis said typically people dont vote for a Vice President but a president. The Vice President ial nominee also speaks to the president ial candidate who have they chosen and what is the person like . It is a judgment on what the president ial candidates Decision Making emphasis is. Do you agree with that . I actually do agree with that. What you are going to see the Vice President do the candidates do is talk about their principles and lay ou the values of donald trump versus the values of joe biden. Why this debate will be more interesting than the ones previous, both Kamala Harris and mike pence are on the younger side of things. Theyll be looking at them both saying do these two individuals have the ability to manage the oval office, god forbid something happens to either donald trump or happens to joe biden. Trace i think it will be fascinating. Richard fowler, always good of you. Thank you, sir. A yeah, pop the popcorn, trace. Trace it will be gone. Sandra well be watching.
