Transcripts For FOXNEWSW Americas Newsroom 20201020

Four years ago october 20th Hillary Clinton led in the real clear politics average of polls by six points. As you pointed out joe biden leads by less. Back in 2016 President Trump won it by less than a point. He still has a chance there. President trump this morning continuing to hammer hunter biden over his emails and his connections to International Business dealings. Yesterday the president saying that the f. B. I. Should be investigating the matter. This morning the president suggesting that a special counsel should be appointed to look into it. Listen to what he said. We have to get the attorney general to act. He has to act and he has to act fast. He has to appoint somebody. This is major corruption and known about before the election. Were doing very well. Well win the election. Were doing very well. If you look at all of whats happening. On thursday its the final president ial debate. The commission on president ial debates announcing changes to the structure candidates will be given two uninterrupted minutes to answer the question. The opponents microphone will be muted during that time and thursdays debate will not be about Foreign Policy, about a number of domestic issues. The president not happy with the debate rules but says he may try to turn them to his advantage. Listen here. President trump these people are not good people. This commission. A lot of funny things go on with them. But there is a chain of thought that there are a lot of people that say let him talk because he loses his train. He loses his train and mind frankly. But look at yesterday. He walks out of a store and the Media Standing there and they asked him what flavor ice cream did you get . Think of this. They never ask me a question like that. Fox friends asked the president what flavor milk shake he would like. He said ill answer that question after ive finished the work of being the president and making news in the past hour on covid relief negotiations said he would be willing to go above and beyond the 2. 2 trillion that nancy pelosi is proposing. Listen here. President trump she is at 2. 2. I would be willing to go more because i think that number one i view it differently. We get the money back, the government. It gets the money back ultimately anyway. I spoke the mark meadows about this last night and suggested the president would be willing to put more money into the pot if that money were dedicated to things that would grow the economy like infrastructure projects. Incentives to bring manufacturing back from china. It may be that the president is willing to go that high that we could see some sort of break in the log jam. One other thing to point out this morning, very Important Supreme Court decision on pennsylvania, the court deadlocked 44 yesterday on whether or not the overturn a Lower Court Ruling to give an extra three days for mailin ballots postmarked by election day to be counted. They will have three days. Thats one of the reasons why President Trump wants to get Amy Coney Barrett on the court as quickly as possible. Sandra john roberts live at the white house. Thank you. Trace the Senate Judiciary committee thats delayed its vote on a subpoena for twitter Ceo Jack Dorsey until thursday as several republicans accuse twitter of censorship in suppressing a New York Post story on hunter biden emails and fox news have peter doocy in wilmington, delaware. Whats the latest explanation from the Biden Campaign . Trace, its been a week and still nobody from the biden side has come forward to say this information is not accurate. This is not Hunter Bidens laptop or hunter biden didnt drop it off. All joe biden has said its a smear. Fox news has obtained a copy of a receipt for 85 that allegedly bears Hunter Bidens signature, email address and phone number. Data recovery from mac book pros and contact customer when complete. Store owner alleges he tried to contact the phone number and email address allegedly for hunter biden and never heard back. Fox obtained document that the Justice Department allegedly handed over to the mac shop owner in wilmington when they served a subpoena and collected a laptop and hard drive. Biden released statements about many things since the story broke like grower wildfires in colorado, wisconsins first day of arizona and trump trips to arizona but nothing clarify or explaining the allegations of conflict of interest while in office contained within them. Biden kept walking after being asked a question. President trump says the wall street journal will drop a print story about the bidens and limited opportunities in the next few days to shout anything at biden. He has nothing on his public schedule until the debate on thursday. He remains home here in wilmington. Trace. Trace it might come up at the debate. Peter, thank you. Sandra for more on this lets bring in bill mcgurn from the wall street journal and former speech writer for george w. Bush. Good morning to you. Take on all of that what you just heard there and what you heard from the president earlier in that new interview this morning. Labeling what he claims is tremendous corruption on the part of the bidens. Talking about the laptop from hell. Where does this story go two weeks out from election day . Thats the big question, sandra. Look, its there are allegations out there and material out there. Joe biden has been running what people say is a Great Campaign by not being visible and letting donald trump be visible and supposedly that hurts donald trump. But he is only able to do this because the press is letting him. The press corps has taken a see no evil, speak no evil, hear no evil approach to joe biden and especially make sure he is not asked any tough questions. He wasnt asked about this last thursday during the town hall with george stephanopolous. So if it works its because so many people are running cover for him. You have facebook and twitter running interference trying to keep people from reading this New York Post story. I think any normal person wants to get to the truth of this. And the nondenials are to me very curious. The only denial is that this meeting with the russian that supposedly is confirmed in an email wasnt on his official schedule. This could blow up on him because he doesnt have much time. But it is shameful he has not been asked any of these tough questions. Sandra your colleague James Freeman takes that up this morning. Have the bidens denied the story yet, he asks . Media outlets still taking aim at the messenger. To your point, bill. Freemans piece he writes five days a after the New York Post detailed biden family corruption the bidens havent claimed theyre counterfeit. Isnt there an opportunity for joe biden to just come out and say all the elements of this story are categorically false . Yes, if someone would ask him. Not just ask him but press him on it. Look, joe biden avoided tough questions on the Court Packing issue until Vice President pence in his own debate with Kamala Harris embarrassed her by pressing the issue and making it an issue. It looks like theyll give him a pass. Its a legitimate question. People want to know what the f. B. I. Knew and when they knew it and did they make any attempt to verify or disprove the information there. If it is a russian disinformation campaign, looks less and less likely, we want to know who was doing it. Sandra moving on to your piece in the wall street journal taking on what you say is the myth of moderate democrats joe biden show a different face in pennsylvania than washington the new interview with the president this morning he was asked how do you make the clear difference between you and joe biden . He sounded very optimistic that he can win. If he doesnt, what a joe biden presidency looks like. Here is the president. President trump they want to raise your taxes. I want to lower your taxes. Regulations, all of that. The bottom line the American Dream, the Great American dream versus being a socialist hellhole. Sandra why do you write mr. Biden is running on policies that would make his administration far more progressive the Barack Obamas insisting to pennsylvania voters he is a moderate. So why is it a myth that he will be a moderate democrat if elected to office . Because here is the question. What remains moderate of joe biden . He has thrown out his previous support for hyde amendment. Basically embraced all the green new deal, just not calling it that. His tax program. What does it mean to be a moderate . All this is that they call themselves moderate. Conor lamb was the guy who could show you how to win by being moderate. He didnt say anything the last time around in 2018 about donald trump and then when he got to washington he voted to impeach. So you have to wonder does it have any real meaning . Especially in pennsylvania, the point the president is making, i think, is about fracking. Fracking is very big part of the western pennsylvania economy. And both conor lamb and joe biden are opposed to banning fracking but in a party that wants to eliminate fossil fuels. The question, is it real or just a delaying action . Sandra i will tie it all together whats happening as far as the reporting on hunter biden. What you are talking about. How far left will joe biden go if elected in office and how much comes up on the debate stage thursday night, bill, now with the known changes that there will be the ability to be muted. The candidates if they go too long in their answers or there is interruptions. How much of this debate actually get to on that debate stage . Final thoughts, bill. I hope its a lot. I hope that this moderator asks joe biden about the hunter biden story. If he wants to deny it, say its false, thats fine, thats news, too. It will be a disgrace if the big question isnt even raised there. So look, everyone is going to tune in. These are like the ali frazier boxing matches in the 70s. Everybody wants to see it. Sandra great to see you. Trace the Senate Judiciary commit to vote on twitter ceo in the wake of allegations of censorship against the New York Post. What do senators want to hear from jack dorsey. Louisiana senator john kennedy will join us plus the commission on president ial debates announcing major changes to the final faceoff between President Trump and former Vice President joe biden. Which candidate stands to benefit the most . Marc thiessen joins us next with more on that. Sandra two weeks out from election day. Americans are already having their voices heard. More than 30 million ballots have been cast nationwide. Texas with the highest number so far at 4 million. California is next with just over 3 1 2 million ballots cast. The surging numbers in the 2020 election accounting for more than 65 of total early voting in the 2016 election, wow. Trace big changes for this weeks final president ial debate. The commission announcing it will mute the candidates during initial twominute responses to prevent interruption. As the Trump Campaign is blasting the commission claiming it shifted the focus of the debate away from northern policy to avoid bidens record. Marc thiessen a former speech writer for george w. Bush and Fox News Contributor. Good to see you. I wanted to read you this from the Debate Commission statement and get your response. It says quoting the commission has determined that it is appropriate to adopt measures intended to promote adherence to agreedupon rules and inappropriate to make changes to those rules. So in essence what theyre saying is that, you know, cutting off the microphone is not a rule change, just to get the candidates to behave. Your thoughts. First of all the commission on president ial debates is an absolute disaster. The reason why we didnt have a second president ial debate last week because their job is to go to the candidate and help them negotiate the ground rules for a debate, not dictate those rules. So when trump came down with covid they Just Announced we would have a virtual debate. We didnt need because both candidates held inperson town halls with voters that night. So they blew it on the last debate. Now they come in and saying well mute the president of the United States. First of all, i dont know that thats going to hurt donald trump. It might help him. The last time a debate moderator tried to mute a candidate was ronald reagan. Mr. Moderator, i bought this microphone. It helped his win. Muting donald trump may be a liberal reporters dream but i dont know that it will hurt him in any way that the debate. Trace the president said this about the mute button on the microphone a short time ago on fox friends. Listen. President trump i think the whole thing is crazy. This commission, i had problems with them four years ago where they stifled my mic during my conversation and muted my mic. They did it to me already. They modulated it at the time. They had to write me a letter of apology. They did it on purpose. Look, these people are not good people. Trace interesting, bill stepien with the Trump Campaign says muting the president is giving the commission more control over the debate. Is that fair . Absolutely. It is not the job of the president ial Debate Commission to mute the president of the United States. You may not like the man in office and you show respect for the office. The president ial Debate Commission doesnt mute the president. I would say that donald trump needs to mute himself. That his last debate if you look back a poll showed florida and pennsylvania voters of swing states 65 disapproved of his performance because he kept interrupting joe biden. That backfired because one, people didnt like the look of it. A lot of voters who dont likethey like his policy but not his style but it didnt give joe biden a chance to hang himself. You have to let him speak and stumble and hurt himself and by interrupting constantly it doesnt help joe biden do that. So he needs to let joe biden talk. He shouldnt be muted by anybody else. I think that will backfire. His base will look at him and muting the president of the United States and be very angry. Trace i want to put the debate topics on the screen. Fighting covid19, american fams lease, race in america, Climate Change, national emergency. Leadership. The Trump Campaign says it was supposed to be a Foreign Policy and the biden says its not. National security should be discussed. The reason they dont want to spend a lot of time on it its an area of strength for donald trump. Its a president who eliminated the isis caliphate created under the Obama Biden Administration and killed baghdadi. The president who delivered the first arab israely peace in a quarter century. Biden keeps saying he is hurting our allies but he just brought our allies together in the middle east in a way nobody has since the 1970s. Or the 1990s, rather. And so i think Foreign Policy is an area of strength for donald trump and they dont want to talk about it. Trace always good to hear from you, sir, thank you. Remember, we have got the president ial debate covered from every angle right here on fox. Our special predebate coverage kicks off at 6 00 p. M. Eastern with bret baier and Martha Maccallum and you can catch the debate at 9 00 p. M. Thursday right here on the fox news channel.

Joe biden is off trail getting ready for the thursday night debate. Sandra postpone a vote for twitter ceos and facebook until thursday. It would require jack dorsey and Mark Zuckerberg to talk about Decision Making behind censorship on social media. Trace mnuchin and pelosi are talking about the stimulus package. President trump its crazy. I saw shifty schiff yesterday get up and say this is russia. I mean, he is a sick man. He is so sick. We went through 2 1 2 years of that plus and thank goodness we have John Ratcliffe that came out the head of dni said its false. Nothing to do with russia. Sandra that was the president earlier this morning. The Senate Judiciary committee is delaying a vote whether to subpoena jack dorsey to testify about allegations of anticonservative bias after twitter blocked users from sharing the New York Post story on hunter biden. The panel will now take that up this thursday. Lets bring in louisiana senator john kennedy, a member of the Judiciary Committee. Senator, good morning to you. We have a lot of questions. What questions do you have first when it pertains to twitter and their censorship of such stories and the story itself . Well, the people, sandra, who run twitter and other social media platforms are extremely liberal. Now, thats their right. If they want to hum the Cuban National anthem in the shower thats none of my business. This is america. But when they act on those political beliefs and in doing so act like the taliban, play favorites and censor one side, that raises a whole host of legal and ethical issues. The story about mr. Hunter biden appeared in the New York Post. The New York Post is a reputable News Organization. It is subject to the libel laws of america. It has stated that it has verified the emails. The Biden Campaign has not denied that those are Hunter Bidens emails. So the obvious question is why did twitter censor the New York Post story . And we need to find out. Im disappointed that the hearing to subpoena the folks from twitter and facebook was postponed. Im labor, not management. I suppose the big guns decided to postpone it but im ready. Sandra when it comes to the story itself, you are making the point that joe biden, hunter biden, they could come out themselves and say this isnt true. They could simply say that was not Hunter Bidens laptop. That he didnt drop it off at that repair shop. They could deny the key elements of this story, senator. So why isnt joe biden coming out and saying that . Were two weeks out from election day. This could have an impact or sway voters minds. Why not come out and deny it if it is not true . Well, you are right. The Biden Campaign has not denied any of this. Of course, you cant find mr. Hunter biden with a search party. Also dont ignore the fact that the New York Post is subject to the libel laws of the country, unlike social media platforms. If they get this wrong they can be sued. I think its telling that the Biden Campaign has not sued them. Look, in my opinion every reputable journalist in america should be investigating this story, investigating the veracity of the emails, asking the Vice President and his son the hard questions. Just as they do with President Trump. Thats what a fair and balanced media is supposed to do. Were talking about the presidency of the United States of america here. Sandra as you know, senator, 50 former intel officials have come out and said that they believe this story looks like a russian intel operation. Emails purportedly belonging to Vice President bidens son hunter related to serving on the board of burisma has the classic ear marks of a russian information operation. Such an operation would be consistent with russian objectives and as outlined publicly and recently by the Intel Community to create political chaos in the United States. You heard the president reacting to that earlier. Really taking on adam schiff and others, and after we heard this from congressman ratcliffe. Listen. Its funny that some of the people that complain the most about intelligence being politicized are the ones politicizing intelligence. Unfortunately in this case it is adam schiff as you pointed out on friday said the Intelligence Community believes that Hunter Bidens laptop and the emails on it are part of some russian disinformation campaign. Let me be clear, the Intelligence Community doesnt believe that because there is no intelligence that supports that. Sandra director of National Intelligence. But senator kennedy, what about that . What are we supposed to take away from this when you have such conflicting stories coming out. Shouldnt what we just heard from the director of National Intelligence put that to rest . Well first with respect to chairman schiff i think its pretty well documented that chairman schiff has a very casual relationship with the truth. I mean, he went in front of every camera that he could and said that the Trump Administration had colluded with the russians and then in private testified under oath he had no evidence. And in terms of the assertions well, this is all russian disinformation, you cant just say that. You have to provide your proof and again, this is my point. I dont know whether its russian disinformation or not. I know the New York Post ran the story. Theyve got good lawyers. They said they verified the emails and nobody in the Biden Campaign has called them a liar. I think thats pretty telling. But i dont understand why every reputable News Organization in the world is not pursuing this. Not trying to determine whether its russian disinformation or, in fact, whether the Vice President and his son colluded in a way that was inconsistent with the Foreign Policy in america. Those are relevant issues and i dont know why a free and fair press is not pursuing them but theyre not. I certainly dont know why twitter is refusing to allow the story to run on its social media platform. Sandra well see what congress is able to get done as far as getting them in front of the American People to answer tough questions. Senator, as always, thank you. Thank you. Trace two weeks before election day comes a troubling attack in los angeles. A ballot box was set on fire over the weekend burning dozens of ballots, Law Enforcement stepping up efforts to safeguard mailin voting sites around the country. Eric shawn live in new york on this. What do we know exactly . Good morning. There is an arson Investigation Underway in los angeles after someone apparently set fire to a ballot box there. One of the states official boxes where voters can pop in their vote was left smoldering overnight after it was destroyed on sunday in los angeles. Officials say up to 100 ballots inside were charred and blackened. That attack comes after Election Officials decided to let the state Republican Party to place gop ballot boxes on the streets. This is apparently not one of them. Investigators say someone lit a newspaper, threw it into the slot of the drop box and burned the ballots. Theyre sending new ballots to those voters whose votes were destroyed. They have determined whose ballot was actually in this drop box that was damaged and they are immediately resending everyone a new ballot for them to fill out and try again. That means those votes will be saved. Meanwhile in pennsylvania the u. S. Attorney there promises to crack down on anyone who tries to interfere with voting. If you burn things, if you destroy property, if you threaten people, if you attack police officers, were going to track down on you as hard as we can. This comes as the u. S. Supreme court handed a win for democrats in that state rejecting a republican move to stop counting absentee ballots that arrive after election day. Chief Justice John Roberts siding with the courts liberal wing. This means that absentee ballots will be accepted there for three days after november 3 but they must be postmarked by that date. In nevada the u. S. Attorney has created the role of a quote district election officer. Its mission to investigate any election issues in the swing state where early voting kicked off this weekend. Meanwhile memphis, tennessee, a poll worker has been fired after turning away early voters who were wearing black lives matter and i cant breathe tshirts. Under state law it is specific a candidate or Political Party slogan is not allowed on a shirt or being shown at a voting site but Officials Say general statements even like those are acceptable and that poll worker has been left go.

We knew that this was really, really bad. We had ample forewarning. But we did almost no testing, almost no contact tracing. Completely ignored the science, completely ignored the warning signs. There were things that could have been done. A lot of people have died needlessly, and theres nothing more frustrating than feeling like youre fighting against someone who should have your back.

He missed several shows this month to undergo treatment and yesterday he revealed scans show some progressive of the cancer, not dramatic but a step in the wrong direction. Trace wish him the best. With the president ial race in the last two weeks. President trump is heading to pennsylvania this evening. Joe biden stays home preparing for thursdays debate. As high profile surrogates hit the campaign trail. Lets bring in our panel. Charlie hurt an opinion editor and Fox News Contributor and lesslee marshall a Fox News Contributor. Today after the hunter biden email story broke, hunter biden put a lid on his activities for the day now he has called a lid for the entire week until the debate on thursday. It doesnt seem to be as much about coronavirus anymore. Yeah, it really doesnt. A very strange strategy. In any normal political season this would be viewed as some kind of strange political suicide. As you point out it is not about covid anymore. It seems to be more about treating joe biden as this kind of egg and if you let him out in public he may Say Something stupid with a long history where he has done that what. It raises the stakes for him for the debate. With President Trump this cuts both ways as well. President trump is out there all the time and people are hearing from him all the time. And so the stakes for him are a little lower at a debate like what well have on thursday but what i love about it is its two very divergent strategies. I like clear lines in life especially in politics. Trace i want to get your take on this, too, leslie. He says the president is up there all the time. Yesterday he was in prescott, tucson, today pennsylvania, tomorrow in North Carolina. And joe biden look, the whole thing is he has a lid on this and its crunch time, right . Remember the criticism Hillary Clinton got in 2016 for not going to some of the battleground states. What do you make of this strategy . I make that joe biden is charlie, i love you. You couldnt be more wrong about my party and candidate. Joe biden has been out there. Joe biden is taking a few days to prepare for the debate on thursday which i think is essential, quite frankly. This is going to be the last debate. This is it before the election. Speaking of most of the country has already made up their mind and millions of people have already voted. So when there were two things here, theyre very different races, joe biden doesnt want crowds of people with a covid19 pandemic. He wants people wearing masks. He wants people social distancing. Im not saying the president doesnt. When you look at his crowds im not seeing a lot of masks and not seeing social distancing. Also when President Trump was in the hospital and when he was being quarantined because of Covid Joe Biden was on the trail. He was on the trail yesterday. He is taking a few days to prepare and i think knowledge is power and if you are prepared for a debate you have the upper hand. You have to be prepared. I havent seen great preparedness in all the debates on both sides. I think joe biden is doing the right thing. Trace speaking of the debate the mute button. What do you think . I think that this entire campaign will become known as the mute button election. I think its a terrible idea. The idea youll give a journalist an opportunity to mute candidates . We believe in free speech, not free silence. I think its a very alarming trend and the fact that people in the press would go along with it and this happens this comes along immediately after we have a huge scandal that erupts that raises all kinds of serious questions about one of the candidates, and the media all get together and decide to censor it. This is insane. This is nuts. It doesnt say as much about joe biden it says a lot about joe biden or rather i should say it raises a lot of questions about joe biden, it doesnt necessarily answer them all. Raises questions but the political media in America Today would rather silence things, would rather get behind a mute button rather than a mega phone is a really terrifying turn in America Today. Trace leslie, its one of those things you think even if you talk about the mute button. Even hearing an al gore heavy sigh, isnt it important for the viewers to hear everything and not be censored, right . Let them make up their own mind. Your last thought, leslie. Well, i think america on boekt sides of the aisle including politicians made up their own mind about the last president ial debate. It was a hot mess. What the americans need to hear is not just is not just about performance or grown men acting like children. They need to hear policy. I agree with the mic, quite frankly. Unless you can say sit down and shut up and you arent going to to the president of the United States and the former Vice President these moderators tried their best but these individuals just wanted to attack and interrupt each other. It doesnt benefit anybody in the debate process. The moderator, individuals debating and certainly the American Public watching. Trace a lot of people saying let us hear everything and well make up your own minds about that. Leslie marshall. Charlie hurt, washington times. We appreciate it.

Things are beginning to heat up on capitol hill beyond those potential subpoenas for the social media giants. Asking questions about censorship of this hunter biden story. They ought to be brought in to testify and hopefully they will answer in a voluntary basis so the subpoena doesnt have to be issued. It is all about freedom of speech, freedom of press. There is also a group of Top Republicans led by andy biggs of arizona calling on bill barr to appoint a special counsel to investigate. It is imperative the American People receive answers and a full accounting of former Vice President s dealings with his son and his sons Business Partners and if the former Vice President misused his office for personal gain. Fox news has obtained images including what appears to be a receipt from the wilmington, delaware Computer Repair shop signed by hunter biden which also contained an email and cell phone number for him and dock men from the f. B. I. s interaction with the job owner which showed the bureau took possession of an alleged hunter biden laptop and external hard drive last september. Democrat adam schiff of california has blamed the russians for dropping this hunter biden email story at a critical stage of the campaign. Last night arkansas senator tom cotton fired back. If they really were russian disinformation as adam schiff and other democrats are running around screaming without any evidence you would think that the Biden Campaign and hunter biden would be saying that. The fact that theyre not the dog didnt bark in this controversy. Most americans can use common sense to see what that means. President trump agrees its time for a special counsel to investigate it all. Sandra mike emanuel. Thank you, mike. Trace two weeks to go until election day. President trump will head to pennsylvania for a rally tonight. His democratic rival joe biden is home in delaware ahead of the final president ial debate on thursday. Mark meredith live in washington are the campaigns shaking up their plans in the final two weeks . Doesnt look like it. Trace. With two weeks to go until the election we see two very different schedules and strategies from the campaigns. Joe biden remains off the campaign trail. They called a lid for his campaign. Not expecting to hold any events until thursday nights debate. This morning President Trump is back in washington after campaigning in arizona monday. As you mentioned he is set to visit pennsylvania tonight with the first lady for a Campaign Rally. Pennsylvania is a state every pundit is keeping tabs on. The real clear politics average showing biden leading there by nearly 4 points. It is considered by many to be a tossup. The president says he will participate in thursdays debate despite new rules going into place. The Debate Commission says it will have the option to mute either candidates microphone during specific portions of the debate. President trump the whole thing is crazy. This commission, i had problems with them four years ago where they stifled out my mic during my conversation with crooked hillary. And you know they muted my mic. They did the whole thing. They did it to me already. Thursdays moderator Kristin Welker said she has chosen six topics including fighting covid, race in america and national security. The Trump Campaign has urged the commission to keep the debate focused solely on Foreign Policy. While they say they are unhappy with the topics that were chosen allocations are the president along with joe biden will be in nashville on thursday. Trace mark, thank you. Sandra Vice President mike pence busy on the trail with a visit to seven states in six days starting in maine and pennsylvania yesterday. Next he will travel to new hampshire, ohio, michigan, florida and indiana. Trace Voter Registration hitting a high in pennsylvania. More than 9 Million People signed up before yesterdays deadline out of a population of roughly 13 million. That includes 4. 2 million democrats and 3. 5 million republicans. Sandra more on that in a moment. House speaker Nancy Pelosis 48 hour deadline to strike a Coronavirus Relief deal with the white house is set to expire today. The president on fox friends earlier this morning said he is ready to make a deal. President trump even bigger than the democrats because this is money going to people that did not deserve what happened to them. We want to do it but nancy pelosi doesnt want to do it. Sandra Congressional Correspondent chad pergram is live on capitol hill. Where do things stand . This is going to be a real challenge to get something done before the election if you consider the scope of the piece of legislation like this and getting the vote cocktail just right. Thats something they havent been able to do so far. Why the Senate Majority leader Mitch Mcconnell is putting forth a 500 billion skinny bill on the senate floor later this week. The president is the chief whip in congress. President trump if he is going to get republicans to go along with a bigger spending bill here he has to start with the Senate Majority leader Mitch Mcconnell. President trump well be on board if something comes. Let me explain it is very simple. I want to do it even bigger than the democrats. Not every republican agrees with me but they will. The problem is that the president is losing juice with Many Senate Republicans who face difficult reelection bids this fall. And just a week and a half ago Senate Republicans torched a plan crafted by the secretary of the treasury Steve Mnuchin. If asked yesterday if Senate Republicans could support more than that john thune said it would be hard. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and mnuchin are set to talk about. Pelosis office said they narrowed the differences yesterday. Today is deadline to get a deal. We would exchange all of our differences of opinion so that we can and numbers and paper and lets make a judgment. We may not like this and may not like that but lets see on balance if we can go forward. It takes a lot of time to get a bill like this together and why it is hard to get it in under the wire before the election. The senate, however, today will take a vote on an amendment to reload the paycheck protection program. That will cost about 260 billion. Sandra chad pergram, thank you. Trace well, the Justice Department is expected to file a lawsuit today against google claiming theyve stifled competition. A year long investigation has led the government to claim the tech company wrongfully used its power to the detriment of rivals and consumers. 11 states have signed onto the federal complaint. Other states may choose to join or bring their own cases. Sandra the Justice Department also filing charges against six Russian Military officers. Well tell you what they are accused of. Plus President Trump heading to pennsylvania today. He is gaining traction in the key battleground state. What case he will make there today. President trump there has never been rallies with this kind of love and this kind of numbers. 40,000, 30,000. Ive got some terrific news for veteran homeowners from newday usa.

Newdays va streamline refi lets you refinance without having to verify your income, without getting your home appraised, and without spending one dollar out of pocket to get it done. It is the quickest and easiest refi theyve ever offered. Trump took a good economy and drove it back into the ditch through his failure to get covid under control, his failure to deliver real relief to working people. Does he not understand and see the tens of millions of people whove had to file for unemployment this year, so far . The people who lost wages while the cost of groceries has gone up dramatically. Donald trump has been almost singularly focused on the stock market, the dow, the nasdaq not you, not your families. My plan will help create at least five million new, goodpaying jobs and create them right here in the United States of america. Lets use this opportunity to take bold investments in american industry and innovation. So the future is made in america. Ill be laser focused on working families. Im joe biden, and i approve this message. Trace police have opened an arson investigation after someone set a ballot drop box on fire in Los Angeles County sunday night. It was located in the city of baldwin park right outside the library. Unbelievable to me that during this very important election cycle that someone would stoop that low, it was malicious. It wasnt just a kid maybe throwing a match in a box. Trace authorities have not yet indicated how many ballots were damaged and no arrests have been made. Sandra First Lady Melania Trump will be joining the president on the campaign trail today. First time in a year at a rally in pennsylvania. It is also her first public appearance since contracting coronavirus. Take a look at the state of pennsylvania. If i take a spin on the touch screen here why the president will be on the ground in pennsylvania two weeks out from election day. You look at the election map. Pennsylvania narrowly won by the president in 2016, 48. 8 of the vote there. Some of the key counties that the president is going to be focusing on to try to win this state again. Joining us now daron shaw from the fox news decision desk. Awesome to have you this morning. Talk about some of these key counties that the president will be looking to win to secure pennsylvania starting off with erie county, pennsylvania, which he won by a narrow margin, 51 in 2016. Good morning to you. Good morning. Thanks for having me. Well, pennsylvania in a lot of ways is the Tipping Point state. It is difficult to see how the president gets to 270 without pennsylvania. Counties that im looking at its interesting. We think of pennsylvania as basically comprised of a t, the president t, the democrats win in philadelphia, democrats do well in pittsburgh. Republicans win in the central and northern parts of the state and thats where the president is going. Erie, places like wilkes bury i love. 25 point swing from 2012 to 2015. Thats the edge trump had that put him over the top in the last election. Sandra i pulled up la surn county. 60 of the vote back in 2016. Why is that county a focus for you, daron . For years people talked about the blue wall. They have the lock on these upper midwest states. And a lot of that was based on the premise that where republicans did well in those states there wasnt much vote things didnt change much. Republicans could count on getting some folks but not enough for making up for democratic dominance in the city and suburban areas. That didnt happen in pennsylvania in 2016. There was a dynamite and increase in the vote. Interesting thing about pennsylvania is that the story line a lot of places was the democrats didnt come out in 2016 for hillary. They came out in pennsylvania. It is just that the trump voters came out in bananas numbers and what put him over and why he needs these crowds and this energy if he will close the gap in pennsylvania in 2020. Sandra North Hampton county. Why is this so key for the president as well . Pulled off a victory in 2016, won 52 of the vote to Hillary Clintons 48 . Tell us about North Hampton county and why a focus needs to be there. The same dine nam dynamic that we were talking about earlier. Massive swings not from democrat to republican but from sort of swing counties where, you know, a winning candidate does well. Trump dominated there last time. The interesting thing about this contest in 2020 in a lot of ways the absence of the campaign and people are maybe following it a little bit on social media. Other places the president needs a personal presence in those places to drive up his turnout numbers. Theyve been registering a lot of voters, 9 million voters registered in pennsylvania. An alltime high. A lot of those have to come from these sorts of places and then they have to follow through and cast ballots in a way the president wants. Sandra great point. As you are talking were showing video of melania there. I will get to that. A female vote on the ground in pennsylvania. The real clear politics average heading into the president s visit there with joe biden polling several points ahead of the president just two weeks out from election day. I go to the next screen, though. Talk about women. The president will be traveling with melania today. This will be her First Campaign stop in months. Why is it so key for the president to not only bring melania but focus on that female vote in pennsylvania as the latest Monmouth University poll shows joe biden is polling well with women, 61 to Donald Trumps 35 . And you look at the margin back in 2016, how the president was polling with female voters. Hillary clinton did not have as big of a lead with women back then as joe biden has now with the president. Why . I think part of it is the personality of the president. He seems to play much better with men than women. And it is also issue based. Not just style. The things the president tends to emphasize are more important to male voters than female voters. In our last pole in late September Biden plus 17 with women. Trump plus 4 with men in pennsylvania. Thats a 21point gender gap. The president cant lose women in pennsylvania by 17 points. Among suburban women biden plus 18, amongst suburban men trump plus 7. The president needs to narrow that gap. My opinion its a smart move. It is not clear to me the president s presence in those places helps him that much with women. A lot of women have turned him off. Melania trump may be able to soften the edges and kind of bring trump back into the realm of plausibility for some of these women in pennsylvania. Sandra final thoughts. Talking about the record voter turnout in pennsylvania. You look at the Voter Registrations in pennsylvania. This is as of october 19th. Total just over 9 million. More democrats than republicans to 4. 2 million democrats registered to 3. 5 republicans. Daron, talk about this as far as impact on election turnout. You know, turnout is a precursor of voting. Registration is a precursor of voting. We find that turnout across the states with respect to the percentage of registered voters who show up is actually pretty stable over time. So when you see a huge surge in turnout and registration, thats an indicator that turnout will be pretty big. The democrats have a structural advantage in pennsylvania. The Majority Party in terms of registration by about 5 points. Thats about the margin you see in some of the pennsylvania polls. The president s task is to make sure there is no defection amongst republicans and peels off a few of those democraticleaning voters which will put him in the ballgame on november 3. Sandra heading into the president s visit there. Joe biden 4. 8 lead. Real clear politics average. Daron shaw, great information. Thank you for being here this morning. Appreciate it. My pleasure. Trace tens of millions of people already voting this election cycle. Many mailin ballots are expected to be rejected. Well tell you why.

Trace the Senate Judiciary committee waiting until thursday to consider subpoenas for the ceos of twitter and facebook. Conservatives renewed bias after they limited the sharing of a New York Post report about Hunter Bidens business dealings overseas. Michael goodwin, a columnist for the New York Post joins us now. Always good to see you. The Senate Hearings the end to be more monologue and dialogue. If the ceos of big tech show up, if they appear, what do we need to get out of these hearings in your opinion, michael . Well, trace, i think the most important point is the bias. The leftleaning views that lead them to censor mostly, if not exclusively, conservative voices or voices that would support donald trump. In this case any voice that criticizes joe biden. And so i think thats a real problem given the power of these companies. It is not really free speech in technology. Now, theyre privately owned, it is true, public companies. Theyre not government entities. Nonetheless i think the viewpoint discrimination is a serious issue when they are so big and have almost monopoly power. So twitter, facebook, etc. , google has a different issue. Justice department is suing i understand today on that. But this is something that goes to the heart of our democracy. If you cant share as a user your viewpoint. If its discriminated against on this public platform, then i think there is a real issue that the government needs to step in. Now, im personally i like to see free markets and capitalism. I believe in it. When there becomes this clear abuse of power in a way that affects millions and millions of people, affects what everybody can learn, then you begin to see that there is an important principle at stake. I think thats where we are. I hope the senators as you say will not grandstand but will really probe in on this and get to the heart of how does this happen consistently . Trace and back to the hunter biden story, we asked louisiana senator john kennedy about that earlier and he said this. The story about mr. Hunter biden appeared in the New York Post. Thats a reputable News Organization. It is subject to the libel laws of america. It has stated that it has been verified the emails. The Biden Campaign has not denied that those are Hunter Bidens emails. So the obvious question is why did twitter censor the New York Post story . Trace Biden Campaign has not denied them. This russian misinformational allegation seems to be falling apart. My own reporting on this, i have absolutely zero doubt about this authenticity of this email regarding ukraine or the one involving the china deal where joe biden was identified, according to insiders, as the big guy. So i think that there are real issues here. I think its also we shouldnt be blind to the fact that joe biden is hiding from this. He has taken off five of the last six days through thursday. So he doesnt have to answer these questions. Now, if the media if we really had a truly functioning media, if these views were out there, allowed to be widespread through technology, then biden i think would have to answer. So this is a perfect example of how our democracy is not served by keeping people in the dark about public information. This is really an abuse of power and so as senator kennedy says, nobody has said anything from the biden camp that would lead you to doubt the authenticity of these emails. We see Hunter Bidens signature on the repair shop slip. There is no question this is his laptop and no question about the authenticity of these emails among people who have really tried to find out. Trace michael goodwin, good stuff. Thank you sir. Sandra tens of millions of people will vote by mail this year. Many mailin ballots will be rejected. In most cases mismatched signatures are the reason for it. William la jeunesse is live in the west coast bureau. What process are states using to verify signatures . Sandra, some use Computer Software like a bank verifies your signature on the check. Most use humans to make an comparison to one on file. Do these signatures look anything alike . No, theyre mine. A licensed documents, receipts. Your signature changes. In 2016 states rejected 300,000 votes. Why . 27 of signatures did not match. 23 of ballots missed the filing deadline. 20 percent pearls had no signature at all. Counties typically compare your signature to the one on file from dmv where voters sign a touch screen with their finger. When they write this information, yeah, if it goes to my third level review those individuals might look at the Registration Form and then we can see do we have handwriting that matches . But here is the challenge, right . In california now 70 of new registrations are online. So i no longer have that printed document. So its good for voters that have been around a while but not good for new voters. I did sign it. What signature did you use . My dmv signature is not much better. Some states require i. D. Witness or notary along with the mailin ballot. Most just a signature. 18 states allow ballot curing so voters can correct a mistake. We have to notify the voter. We send out a letter to the voter and they have an opportunity to cure that issue. If its a missing signature its easy. They sign it, comes back, we open the envelope. If it is a mismatched signature they have to sign an affidavit and they have to sign saying theyre that person and send it back to us. Sometimes up to one in every 50 votes is rejected and in some cases people dont bother to correct the mistake when they are notified. Back to you. Sandra what an inside look there.

Just like there are two candidates with vastly different approaches to the economy separate studies are predicting opposite outcomes for the same set of policies. The Hoover Institution finds joe bidens economic proposals would hurt jobs, growth and income over the next decade. On the other hand moodys says his plans would lead to faster growth and more jobs. So which is it . The former chairman of president obamas economic counsel and professor in harvard. Both have lengthy resumes which is why we have you guys here today. Jason, to you first on this. Its hard as voters try to take in a lot of information this election, its hard to decide much about bidens economic proposals because he has been pretty vague in detail. The one thing we do here is that he will not raise taxes for any individual making 400,000 or less. But what else . Sandra, i think Vice President biden has been pretty detailed certainly compared to President Trump who has put out almost nothing about what he would do with a second term. The positive for the economy is that biden would do a lot of fiscal stimulus up front. More investment in getting the economy going again. Thats why you the end to see when his odds improve for the election the stock market go up and seen a lot of nonpartisan sources like most of the investment banks predict his winning would help growth certainly over the next couple of years. Sandra thats not what the wall street journal concluded in its piece and the cost of his Economic Policy proposals. A new study on the tax, healthcare and Energy Proposals predicts 6500 less in Median Household Income by 2030. This is the wall street Journal Editorial Board on biden. The risk for his policies isnt that theyll send the economy reeling right away. The problem is that theyll have a longterm corrosive impact by raising the cost of capital, reducing the incentive to work and invest and reducing productivity across the economy. Doug, this is based on the Hoover Institution study looking into this. Yeah, i dont think this is too complicated. Biden has proposed to raise taxes by 2. Trillion over the next two years. Corporate income tax rates going up. So payroll taxes being imposed on more parole and a variety of other ways. There isnt anyone. Not even his advisors will think it will be a good thing for the economy. How much will it hurt it . The hoover guys come down on pretty Much Negative impacts. The other side of the equation is the spending. And what you heard jason say spending is great. Spending is great and with the hoover guys say the kind of spending in there. Clean energy spending, healthcare spending and look in detail will that stimulate the economy . The short answer is no. If you put unsometime lative spending and taxes you get a bad outcome. Sandra to dougs point you talk about spending as you just did a moment ago. What weve heard joe biden propose and raising taxes in a really difficult economic environment right now. Would that really stimulate a struggling u. S. Economy . Yeah. Sandra, my kids are in middle school and they learn to assess sources based on whether theyre trusted sources or not. The hoover study you are pointing to is done by a bunch of very political people. Its not surprising. Sandra tell us what they got wrong. I can point you not just the moodys study. Goldman sachs not typically very friendly to the democrats and the two things they got wrong, one in the short run it is really important do you have a plan to get more money to states, to get more money to people to get our economy going again . Some of that is tax cuts. Families with children and the like. The second in the long run is what matters. Sandra let doug respond. Jason, would you agree that the tax increases in the near term and long term are not going to increase growth . This is about the spending. In the proposal a net fiscal expansion in the first year and any economic model. Thats not an answer to the question. Try to answer the question. In the long run. Sandra its a fair question. You need to look at how what you are doing with it. You know how we know the plan. Is this way of raising the revenue going to help the economy . I think the Overall Economic plan, variety of studies. Not somebody most of your audience knows worked in the Bush Administration and might have worked with you, doug. He says the plan as a whole the tax plan as a whole immigration etc. Will increase economic growth. Sandra we didnt hear about the near term. Thats the point in the piece they take on when it comes to joe biden. Doug, on the president and what weve heard so far. Jason said he hasnt heard much. The president does talk about lowering taxes. For the middle class and talks about rolling back regulations and a businessfriendly environment. What more do we know about the president s intentions with the economy . I think its fair to say we dont know a lot. Not detailed plans. He floated a payroll tax cut with no particular detail there. He did that in 2016 as well. We didnt have a good idea what the plans were. Came in, picked up some proposal that the hill republicans had and got them through congress. He has a track record of getting that done. He has a fantastic record on controlling regulations. With all these spending programs regulations to implement them. Last time we saw joe biden in office there was 100 billion in regulatory costs added every year for eight years. Thats a trillion dollar disguised tax increase that comes with spending programs and why they arent as sometime lative as you might thing. Sandra jason, to your point, Kevin Hassett was in the white house and was behind that study for the hoover. We enjoyed the conversation and debate. Thank you very much for joining us. Thank you.

The interesting thing they said if you let him talk he will lose his train of thought because he is gone. I understand that. As he is going down the line and issuing lines it is okay to really attack that. There is a chain of thought that there are a lot of people that say let him talk because he loses his train. He loses his train. He loses his mind, frankly. Trace big changes coming to the final president ial debate after they announced the microphones will be muted if needed. President Trumps Campaign pushing back on the Debate Commission after Foreign Policy was not included in the list of topics in the debate agenda. Ari fleischer is the former white house secretary for george w. Bush and he joins us now. Ari, great to see you. You heard what the president just said seconds ago. He doesnt seem too bothered by the muted mic thing. Maybe he gives joe biden more room to do some damage to himself. What are your thoughts on the muted mic . There is no reason for the president to be bothered by it or any Trump Supporters to be bothered by it. Frankly, trace, its a mini mute. Not a full mute button. The first question that kicks off each 15minute segment will be uninterrupted. They each get two minutes and then for the remaining 11 minutes they can go back and forth at each other as much as they want. Frankly based on the first debate where biden interrupted first and then the president interrupted most, it will be an improvement if there is less interruptions. Better quality for the audience to listen. Plus i do think it is more powerful for the president to let biden go on some of these issues and come back to it in the next question and talk about the flaws in what biden said. Trace as a journalist i like to hear the context and percent respective and the al gore sigh. I want the audience to hear that to make their decision. I want to move on to the topics there. The Trump Campaign said it was supposed to be about Foreign Policy. Biden Campaign Says its not accurate. What do you think about the questions and the focus of this debate . I think the Trump Campaign is making an excellent point. China has not been a subject. China is the most important relationship we have to get right over the next several decades. They are our greatest, most serious competitor in all areas. No discussion of china . The bigger problem, trace, is two of the topics at this third debate are repeats. They have put covid and put Race Relations down again as topics for this debate. Those are both two of the six topics covered in the first debate. So i really think that the commission is playing games and having engage in repeats when there should be no grounds. National security and leadership are two topics that the debate and President Trump can bring up many of the issues he wants to about biden, leadership, ukraine, other issues he wants to get into. I see no reason to have repeats. We should have china. Trace those subjects were also in the Vice President ial debate as well. Finally bill stepien in a letter to the commission writes this. The commissions probiden antics have turned the entire debate season into a fiasco and Little Wonder why the public has lost its faith in objectivity and with the whole steve scully issue. There is a little reason to question the Debate Commission. Final thoughts quickly. The issue for republicans were an Outsider Party than insider party. The Debate Commission is the ultimate insiders. Going forward i think republicans have to do things differently. Get rid of the debate moderators chosen by the Debate Commission but keep the logistics. Theyre helpful to everybody. Nobody wants to handle the cameraman. Trace good insight. Well see what happens thursday night. Good to see you. Thank you. All right. Remember, we have the president ial debate as we see bret and martha. We kick off at 6 00 p. M. Eastern and catch the debate when it begins at 9 00 p. M. This thursday right here on fox news. Sandra fox news alert. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, treasury secretary Steve Mnuchin are expected to speak again today trying to agree on terms of a stimulus bill, coronavirus stimulus bill. How close are they . Larry kudlow will join us live at the top of the hour. At todays record low Mortgage Rates. With newdays va streamline refi, theres no appraisal, no Income Verification and no out of pocket costs. Let newday help you use your va benefits to save 250 a month, thats 3000 a year. One call is all it takes. Sandra the countdown is on. Election day two weeks from today as President Trump accuses the biden family of corruption calling on the attorney general to act in light of new reporting on Hunter Bidens overseas business dealings. Welcome back to americas newsroom. Hour three. Im sandra smith. Good morning, trace. Trace im trace gallagher. Joe biden off the campaign trail as we learn about new documents linked to his sons alleged email and laptop and appear to show Hunter Bidens signature. Joe biden calls it a smear campaign. The president wants an investigation. President trump to be honest with you even if it wasnt, you cant go and go with your father on every stop you make you pick up a billion dollars. You cant do that. You cant do it. He got a kickback. In the old days they used to call it a kickback. No better word. The Vice President got a kickback and Everybody Knows it and theyve known it for a long time. Sandra that was the president earlier. We have Fox Team Coverage for you. John roberts live at the white house, first to peter doocy in wilmington, delaware with the latest from there on the Biden Campaign. Good morning, peter. Good morning, sandra. Biden is in for the day here in wilmington. The campaign called a lid at 9 32. No possibility for inperson events today and a week after this story broke here in wilmington nobody from the biden team has said that laptop is not hunters. Nobody from the biden team has said the photos or files on it are forged and nobody on the biden team has said that this is not Hunter Bidens signature on a receipt for 85 obtained by fox dated april 2019. We blurred out a phone number with d. C. Area code and email address on the copy of the alleged agreement with the repair shop for a service described like this, attempt Data Recovery from three mac book pros. Recover data to store server and contact customer when complete. The last part was allegedly unsuccessful according to the shopkeeper. Fox has further obtained additional documents dated eight months later last december that memorialize an f. B. I. Special agent collecting that laptop and external hard drive after showing up at the shop with a subpoena. If that fourpage long record is not authentic the u. S. Attorneys office and f. B. I. Are not saying, they are declining Public Comment on that. The democratic nominee side stepped a simple question for a response to this reporting by saying on friday no response and calling it a smear. Joe biden said at one point during the primaries hunter would join him on the campaign trail. So far we have seen him give a prerecorded message at the dnc in august but thats it. Hunter biden lives fulltime in california now. If that was not him dropping off a laptop here in wilmington last year, the campaign and the candidate are not saying so. Sandra. Sandra all right. Peter doocy. Thank you. Trace President Trump covering lots of ground on fox friends earlier as he prepares to hit the campaign trail again heading to pennsylvania for a rally tonight. John roberts is live from the north lawn. Good morning. How is the president feeling about the state of the Campaign Today . I think he is feeling pretty good. Doing a lot of prerecorded Television Interviews in addition to his live appearance on fox friends. Where he is going tonight is erie, pennsylvania. The far northwest corner of pennsylvania that allows you to hit the cleveland and youngstown and eastern part of ohio markets as well. A place where president s like to go where they can get a lot of various support from different areas. If you look back to where we were on this day in 2016 Hillary Clinton was six points ahead of the president. The president won it by less than a point. He has a chance to pull that one out again. The first lady will be joining him tonight. It is the first time she has been on the road with him since the debate in cleveland. The first time she has been on the road for a Campaign Rally since last year when the president announced his reelection campaign. You saw peters report there the president has spent a lot of this morning hammering hunter biden and joe biden over hunters business dealings. Yesterday the president saying the f. B. I. Should be investigating the matter. This morning on fox friends suggesting that perhaps a special prosecutor should be appointed. Listen here. President trump we have to get the attorney general to act. He has to act. He has to act fast. He has to appoint somebody. This is major corruption and this has to be known about before the election. The president and Trump Campaign hammering the commission on president ial debates for a new structure and topics. The commission announced yesterday the candidates will be assured two uninterrupted minutes to give an answer because on thursday the other candidates mic will be muted during that time. The debate also breaking from the longheld tradition that the last debate will be about Foreign Policy. This debate will be about a number of domestic issues. Trump Campaign Manager bill step yen saying President Trump is committed to debating joe biden regardless of lastminute rule changes in the bias commission. This was supposed to be the Foreign Policy debate so the president still looks forward to forcing biden to answer the number one relevant question of whether he has been compromised by the communist party of china. The president also making other news this morning on covid relief negotiations saying that he would be willing to go above and beyond the 2. 2 trillion dollars that nancy pelosi is proposing. Listen here. President trump she is at 2. 2. I would be willing to go more because i think that number one, i view it differently. We get the money back, the government. It gets the money back ultimately anyway. The first time the president has said he will go above the 2. 2 trillion dollar matter. It comes with a catch. It is not the money, but how the money is being spent. The white house would be willing to go higher if that money were put toward things like infrastructure projects, maybe it will finally than infrastructure weeks. Incentives to bring manufacturing back home from china. Things like that. Things that could get a return from the economy not just handing out money willynilly to states that are in trouble. Well see where it goes. Maybe it is an opener. Sandra fox news alert now. Key Biden Campaign promise may be in jeopardy. He insisted no families making under 400,000 would see an increase. His health plan may complicate that. President i will build on the Affordable Care act. It will give private ininsurance real competition. Sandra the public option would increase the federal deficits by 800 billion making a more widespread tax increase necessary. Joining us now larry kudlow the National Economic council director. First to that. Can you respond to that . Thats what were hearing from joe biden when he was on the campaign trail. Well look, that study from the Hoover Institute and Stanford University lays out in clear, plain english and facts how damaging mr. Bidens options are. They estimate taxes will blow sky high. The individual income tax goes up, the Social Security tax goes up, for successful earners well into 50 not including the states. Well into 50 . It raises the Capital Gains tax for investment by 80 . Raises the Corporate Tax by 35 . Make us uncompetitive. It will eliminate the benefits. One of the key points here bureau of labor statistics and others. Families increased their income by 6500. A fivefold gain above what biden and obama did over eight years. Now back to the Hoover Stanford study. They would lose the 6500. Middle income families would lose all the gains during the trump years which the first gains by the way in 16 years. Moreover, according to those estimates, the tax and regulatory and healthcare and Energy Policies would lose 5 million jobs, 2. 6 trillion of gdp. Were talking stagnation, decline, recession, pessimism. President trump on the other hand is talking about lowering middle class tax rates and his message is deregulation and lower taxes and good trade deals. You are talking about prosperity, optimism, economic growth. The choice couldnt be clearer here and folks should go and get that Stanford Hoover study. It lays it out in clear fashion. Sandra i have it right in front of me. Let me ask you about a separate not so much a study but a report coming from Goldman Sachs. They looked into the potential of a democratic sweep in november and its analysts and researchers make the case that a democratic sweep would unleash substantially more stimulus benefiting the economy. The banks chief economist said it would mean a stimulus package in the first quarter. Legislation on Climate Change infrastructure, new health benefits, tax increases. However, they also point out that joe biden wanting to raise taxes would outweigh the benefits of all of that. I wondered if you saw that report and what you thought of it i have seen references to it and read news clippings about it. Look, i dont that group at Goldman Sachs loved the obamabiden stimulus package trillion dollars of spending and predicted 4 growth. Instead that recovery was only 2 , stagnation in effect, a decline. They dont understand supply side effects. They dont understand incentive effects. They dont understand that successful workers should be rewarded, not punished. They have always had this bias toward Big Government spending. Again, these tax hikes, the individual tax rate will go to 50 before you get to california and new york. Capital gains goes up 80 . Corporate tax goes up over a third. All those benefits. This is the key point. President trumps tax cuts provided the benefits to those who need it the most. That is middle and lower income americans whose benefits after tax substantially exceeded the benefits of the upper income brackets. If you run and reverse potuss tax cuts you will take those benefits away. 6500 per family will be gone. Thats what the Hoover Stanford study says and what weve been talking about. So wall street can do a lot better than the analysis you just suggested. Sandra quickly that bank also noted that according to opinion polls Prediction Market and statistical models they imply, their conclusion, that democrats are likely to win the presidency, house and senate. That is what theyre trying to price in when it comes to market risk. Are they wrong . You know, the only poll that matters, sandra, votes, votes. This has a familiar ring four years ago in 2016. All locked up for hillary except one person didnt buy it and that was donald trump. He is now the president. You can see him working his tail off flying all over the country to key places holding rallies with his message of low taxes and regulation. Sandra how about a stimulus bill . The president wants a stimulus bill as long as it is targeted to the right areas. He has always said this and go beyond democratic numbers. Small business assistance, absolutely. The ppp should be extended. They got 135 billion unspent. President would go beyond that. Unemployment assistance. President took the initiative and provided unemployment assistance with reprovided funds. The fact is it will run out. So we need congressional legislation for those to substitute for the repurpose. Sandra can he get republican support for going above 2. 2 . Its a question of what the priorities were. Unemployment assistance, Small Business assistance, airline assistance. Covid school assistance. Lets keep the schools open and open more schools. The key targeted areas he would go beyond what democrats have provided but he wont sign on to some ideological political package that has nothing to do with covid or the economy which is still a problem in the democratic offering. So we shall see. I dont want to make a forecast. Mr. Mnuchin is doing a good job along with chief meadows. Let them handle it. Im just saying the president has always wanted this package as long as it is targeted to the right places. Unemployed, Small Businesses, healthy airlines, help the restaurants, help onshoring businesses come back home. Those things he is 100 for it. Sandra always good to get an update from you. Hope to have you back soon. Thank you. Trace police in los angeles investigating a fire they think was set on purpose to destroy dozens of ballots ahead of the elections. Details on that in a moment.

The box was set on fire sunday night burning dozens of ballots installed. More states have put up drop boxes so people can avoid crowded polling places. Eric shawn, what are you hearing as Law Enforcement investigates it . An arson investigation. Somebody set fire to one of the ballot boxes. One of the states official ballot boxes where people can pop in their vote. It was left smoldering after it was destroyed by a fire. It happened sunday night in the baldwin park neighborhood of los angeles. Officials say up to 100 ballots were blackened and charred in the attack. It came after Elections Officials decided to allow the state Republican Party to place gop ballot boxes on the streets of this state. This ballot box was not one of those republican ballot boxes. But investigators say someone lit a newspaper and then put it inside the drop box slot to burn the ballots inside. But they are sending new ballots to the voters whose votes were incinerated. We have determined whose ballot was in this drop box that was damaged and they are immediately resending everyone a new ballot for them to fill out and try again. Right now is a time people need to have their voices heard. To do Something Like this is just terrible. In pennsylvania the u. S. Attorney there promises to crack down on anyone who tries to interfere with the election. If you burn things, if you destroy property, if you threaten people, if you attack police officers, we are going to crack down on you as hard as we can. And meanwhile in memphis, tennessee a poll worker has been fired after turning away early voters who were wearing black lives matter and i cant breathe on their tshirts. Under state law the name of a specific candidate or Political Party slogan arent allowed. But statements are. Sandra, back to you. Sandra thank you, eric shawn. Trace early voting totals in pennsylvania show nearly 900,000 people have already cast ballots as the Supreme Court rules mailin ballots in pennsylvania can be counted for three days after the election. Absentee voting began september 14th. Theyll have a deadline november 6th. Counting will start on election day. Tom bevan is editor of real clear politics and joins us now. This is a big victory for democrats in pennsylvania. They are requesting mailin ballots like a 31 ratio. That has to be concerning for the gop. What do you think . It is. The republicans didnt want the law changed so that they could accept these ballots three days after. Which is what the High Court Just upheld. The decision of the pennsylvania Supreme Court. It is a win for democrats. The other part of this, trace, is that the rejection rate on some of these ballots, mailin ballots could be an issue for democrats. If they arent filled out properly or signed or have witnesses or have all the proper information on them they will be rejected. That could be if it is close in pennsylvania, that could be a real problem. Trace you talk about close in pennsylvania. Earlier we had someone from the decision desk saying pennsylvania is that famous t where in philadelphia and pittsburgh democrats do well and places like erie where the president does well and where he is going today. What do you make of pennsylvania right now, tom . I personally think it will be the tipping state. The state that decides this election. We have seen some closing in that some tightening in the race a couple weeks ago. Bidens lead was over 6 , now under 4 points in real clear politics average. There is some tightening. I expect it to continue to tighten and i suspect it will be very, very close on election day. Trace bidens lead now is less than Hillary Clintons lead was at this time in 2016. I want to move on to North Carolina and put up this Washington Post abc poll. It says that the president ial election were held today for whom would you vote. You have among likely voters bidenharris 49 . President 48 . President won North Carolina by 2 1 2 in 2016. Your thoughts. A critical state for the president. He has to win this if he wants to have a chance and reelection. And this poll the last two polls. One had the race tied. This poll has it at 1 lead. It is very, very tight in North Carolina. A lot of time and effort and money being spent there. The democrats would love to steal this state and win the state but donald trump has to win it, i think, if he wants to have a chance as reelection. Another state that will be really close on election day. Trace we talk about this enthusiasm element a lot. I want to put this on the screen. Same poll says are you enthusiastic. Trump very enthusiastic, 74 . Joe biden 59 . And you see it around the country, tom. You see the rallies coming out and people waiting in line for hours and hours and it seems like the enthusiasm is on an equal level from 2016. What do you think of that factor . Yeah. Were seeing that not just in the North Carolina poll but seeing it in florida and other state polls and nationally. Trump has a 20 lead in terms of his voters say theyre more energized to turn out and vote for him. The question is are there enough Trump Supporters to make up the difference . Even if biden supporters arent as enthusiastic if there are more and they show up on election day biden will win the race. No question about it. You see it in the rallies and parades. Trump supporters are fired up to vote. Most of them as weve seen from the polling are not going to vote mailin but vote on election day. Donald trump talks about the red wave coming. It is on election day but will it be big enough to offset the democrats . Fascinating information, tom. Good to see you, thank you. Sandra scientists working on a Coronavirus Vaccine getting ready to inject Healthy People and make them sick. A good thing but not everyone agrees. Everything is bigger in texas including early voting numbers. More ballots cast there than any other state so far. Which candidate stands to benefit . That will be next. At visionworks, and we want you to see yourself in your new glasses and think, ooh but if you get home and your ooh is more of a hmm. You have 100 days to change your mind. Thats the visionworks difference. Visionworks. See the difference. Essential for sewing, but maybe not needles. For people with certain inflammatory conditions. Because there are options. Like an unjection™. Xeljanz. The first and only pill of its kind that treats moderate to severe rheumatoid arthritis, Psoriatic Arthritis, or moderate to Severe Ulcerative Colitis when other medicines have not helped enough. Xeljanz can lower your ability to fight infections. Before and during treatment, your doctor should check for infections, like tb and do blood tests. Tell your doctor if youve had hepatitis b or c, have flulike symptoms, or are prone to infections. Serious, sometimes fatal infections, cancers including lymphoma, and blood clots have happened. Taking a higher than recommended dose of xeljanz for ra may increase risk of death. Tears in the stomach or intestines and serious allergic reactions have happened. Needles. Fine for some. But for you, theres a pill that may provide symptom relief. Ask your doctor about the pill first prescribed for ra more than seven years ago. Xeljanz. An unjection™. Sandra top stories making headlines right now. Only two weeks out from election day as President Trump campaigns through the swing states with a stop in pennsylvania today. Joe biden has no public appearances until after the debate thursday night. Trace a Security Guard hired to protect a tv news crew charged with murdering a propolice demonstrator happened during dueling rallies in denver on saturday. Prosecutors say this guy, the guard, got into a fight with a protestors who slapped the guard and sprayed him with pepper spray. In response, the guard shot him and killed him. Sandra with more americans avoiding crowds in stores and shopping online fedex and ups report theyre pushing the limits on what they can handle. Possibly with delivery delays over the holidays. President trump were doing very well. Well win the election. With texas early voting those are our votes, too. And we are doing well in texas. I just got a report. Were doing great in texas but doing great all over. Trace President Trump predicting victory hinting texas could play a huge role in his win. The Lone Star State leads the nation in early voting numbers, more than 4 1 2 Million People have cast ballots there. Ed rendell is former pennsylvania governor and friend of joe biden. Texas is not your bailiwick but a couple of quick things there. What do you make of the theme that democrats some democrats are saying texas is still in play . I think it is. I mean, if you look at the early voting numbers, republicans are slightly ahead of democrats but when you put independents into the mix it is pretty even. So i think the democratic turnout in houston has been just amazing. Absolutely amazing. So texas is up for grabs. And we are paying in texas and on tv in texas. We never were in the past. Thats a nod toward joe bidens popularity in the nation and two, the fact that each cycle texas changes demographically and that changes. So i think texas is in play. But we realize its definitely in play. Trace we saw the numbers on the screen. 4 1 2 plus million votes already cast in texas. I want to put the numbers on and move on. The real clear politics polling average the president is up pretty significantly by about 4 more than 4 points there. Is that discouraging at all quickly to democrats who still think texas might be a thing . 4 points for most polls is in the margin of error. So no, not discouraged at all. It depends on turnout. I think you will see record breaking democratic turnout. Better than it was even for president obama in 2008. Trace we had formal budget director doug holze on earlier talking about the biden tax increase. The former president says he wont increase taxes on anybody who doesnt make 400,000 and doug was saying it is not about what is going to happen, it is about when. Listen to this. Biden has proposed to raise taxes by 2. 8 trillion over the next 10 years. There isnt anyone, not even bidens advisors who thinks it will be a good thing for the economy. Everyone agrees the tax increases will hurt the economy. The only question is how much. The only disagreement is how much. Your thoughts. I disagree. If you go back 50 years and look at the threeyear period where we have had the greatest growth in our gdp almost all those growth periods came after a tax increase for the top 2 in the country. It is unbelievable the statistics couldnt be more clear. Having that money available to build infrastructure, give educational tax credits. Those things help generate the economy for the mass amount of people who dont make 400,000 or more. A tax increase if you look at past history. Look it up and go on the air tomorrow and youll notice times we had the greatest growth in gdp was when we raise taxes on that top 2 . Trace lastly quickly governor, i want your take. Larry kudlow was saying he was talking about the stimulus plan. The president is saying he might go above 2. 2 trillion for the stimulus plan. If that gets passed how much damage does that do to democrats . No, i think it would be to the benefit of democrats. The democrats passed a bill with even more money in it five months ago. Republicans in the senate have been sitting holding this up. And President Trump has been unable to convince his own republicans to vote for a big package. If a big package gets passed it benefits nancy pelosi and democrats in the house. Trace good of you to join us, thank you. Thanks, guys. Sandra major progress reported in the search for a Coronavirus Vaccine. They expect results in november. The ceo of the company telling the wall street journal the fda could grant the vaccine emergency use authorization before end of year. Meanwhile across the Atlantic British researchers begin a controversial experiment to study the virus in the hopes of fast tracking a vaccine. Its an approach called a challenge study involves infecting Healthy Volunteers with covid19. Greg palkot has the details live from london. With risks, what are the benefits of this type of trial . Sandra, the main benefit would be finding faster acure to this deadly disease. It is set to start in january. Some 90 healthy younger people age 18 to 30 paid volunteers would be injected with a very small dose of covid19. When and if they get sick various treatments and especially vaccines will be administered to see which works best or works at all. U. K. Government is funding the program. Top health officials, scientific institutions, hospitals are involved. The highest standards of safety and security are said to be followed. One group says theyve been using this approach for the last 10 years and it has worked. The horrors of coronavirus are driving this risky approach. Some experts are saying it is wrong to do it with this disease. Were still learning about it. It risks the lives of those agreeing to participate. We even heard strong words of caution from the World Health Organization today. Take a listen. You must insure that everybody involved understands exactly what is at stake, must be selected to minimize the risk to the volunteer and you must insure that informed consent is rigorous and they really do understand all the risks. Now if the final approval is given and there are a few more hurdles to cross, the u. K. Would be the first country to take this approach. The u. S. Is looking at it. Including a group of researchers at the Colorado State university in fort collins but if the brits go forward the first results could be, we are told, next may. Sandra wow, all right. Greg palkot, thank you. Trace u. S. Stealth fighter jets intercepting two russian bombers and they scrambled them near alaska last night. They remained in international airspace.

Sandra landmark case against google as the Justice Department files an antitrust lawsuit and accusing google as abusing their also twitter and allegations of censorship. The Biden Campaign has not denied that those are Hunter Bidens emails. The obvious question is why did twitter censor the New York Post story . And we need to find out. Veteran homeowners why refinance now . Because record low Mortgage Rates have dropped even lower. And now you can save 3000 a year. Veterans can shortcut the process with newdays va streamline refi. Theres no appraisal, no Income Verification, and not a single dollar out of pocket. Rates are at the lowest theyve been in our lifetimes. One call can save you 3000 a year. Trace fox news alert. The Justice Department filing a landmark antitrust suit against google claiming its a monopoly in the search field and twitter is being called as doing censorship. A really interesting story weve been following. The Senate Judiciary committee is considering big tech subpoenas on thursday. This is the same time that the committee is also looking at the nomination of Amy Coney Barrett. Now the subpoenas include jack dorsey but there are new questions about facebook and the possibility that it blocked the story, the hunter biden story from even more viewers than twitter and rumbling that Mark Zuckerberg could be part of this. Keep in mind jack dorsey is already slated to appear before the Senate Commerce committee next week. Twitter said it blocked the story because it violated the companys hacked materials policy. It also back tracked and apologized. Facebook said its actions were based on waiting for Fact Checkers to vet it. Two separate issues when it comes to big tech. The first is their power and scope financially. Thats what democrats like liz warren want to investigate. But also the issue of censorship and the republicans are concerned with that. These companies were set up to provide anyone, including the president of the United States, to have a platform to disseminate information. It does certainly set up a debate. But the narrative is shifting a little now as these companies are controlling some of the messaging especially as were two weeks out of the election. It will impact conversations after the election as well about censorship. Twitter is the smallest fish in the pond. The companies 25 billion. Facebook roughly 759 billion. And google 1 trillion, the largest and thats why we end on the note that you started with, the fact that the d. O. J. Is now saying that google needs to answer for if its monopolizing search functionality on the internet. Sandra lets bring in joe concha. Youve been listening to the reporting and story developing. Josh hawley saying this is one of the most important antitrust cases in a generation. He says theyre monopolizing and exercising unprecedented power. Is this an opening shot potentially against other Big Tech Companies in coming months do you think . Oh, opening shot, sandra. I think its a scud missile. A preview of things to come. Conservatives quite frankly on the right side of the aisle have enough. They see the evidence. They see facebooks election integ tree expert worked with joe biden. His Transitional Team hired a facebook executive as its general counsel. Twitters director of Public Policy left the company to be cochair of the biden transition team. If you see a pattern here. Find me anyone working for trump. Twitter and facebook have censored trump 65 times more than biden. 650 at this point in terms of censorship and why its important and people at home should care. When people consume news these days. We talked about media and what media means in terms of what is traditional and what isnt. Social media has taken over in terms of the way people get their news. 62 of news get their news from social media. Between social media and websites more people get their news from radio, National Television and newspapers combined. So now suddenly media has changed. You and i probably do it. Scroll through your twitter feed and facebook. See a story you like. You get the headline and caption and move on. Why its important there cant be censorship. Stories are actually killed all together like the hunter biden story. Thats as chilling as Soldier Field in january, sandra. Sandra thats fascinating and why we talked to senator kennedy, the senator from louisiana earlier saying okay, so if its not true, we havent heard the Biden Campaign. We havent heard joe or hunter biden themselves refute the reporting in that story. So why are we allowing Technology Companies to decide what is fact from fiction . Here is senator kennedy earlier. Dont ignore the fact that the New York Post is subject to the libel laws of the country unlike social media platforms. If they get this wrong, they can be sued. And i think its telling that the Biden Campaign has not sued them. What about that point, joe . It is an excellent point, right . The bottom line is there is a thing called section 230. Its thrown out in the news a lot. To be clear its basically a social Media Company is protected from a liability standpoint because they shouldnt be responsible for what their users put up in terms of content. That needs to be repealed. Thats something that republicans and democrats some anyway on left side of the aisle seem to be in agreement with. Too many protections with the influence and value that you pointed out. Sandra googles statement from the company saying todays lawsuit by the department of justice is deeply flawed. People use google because they choose to not because theyre forced to or cant find alternative. The mute button on thursday nights debate. What do you think it will look like now with the ability to stop a candidate if they are not speaking in the time they are supposed to . Im not crazy about it quite frankly. Debate is a back and forth kind of thing and share it with you real quick. The topics are completely skewed and biased. The top seven tomorrow topics, economy, healthcare, violent crime, Foreign Policy, gun policy. Only one of those seven i listed coronavirus was chosen as a debate topic by Kristin Welker. The president is a big boy and can transition the conversation to what he wants to talk about but i think you have to let these guys go at it more not to the point where the president interrupted during the first debate but to mute candidates . Thats not what it is supposed to be about. Sandra this morning he said i do my own debating. I will do fine says the president. Joe concha, great to have you this morning. Thank you. Trace the world series kicking off tonight in texas. How the dodgers and rays are getting ready.
