All the time. Ainsley he was a heavy smoker. He died at such a young age 65. His son was in the room with him. His second wife first wife Valerie Bertinelli and his brother was there hills son posted something on stain gram saying i cant believe i have to write this but my dad has lost his long battle with lung cancer. Best pop. Brian greatest guitar player ever started out as a drummer. All documents in the russia probe and fbi investigation into Hillary Clintons emails. The president tweeted, quote i have fully authorized the total declassification of any and all documents pertaining to the single greatest political crime in American History, the russian hoax. Likewise the Hillary Clinton email scandal no, redactions. Steve newly declassified notes handwritten, i believe, by former cia director john brennan revealed he personally briefed former president obama on clintons alleged plan to tie then candidate trump to russia. His notes saying in part, quote alleged approved by Hillary Clinton a proposal from one of her Foreign Policy advisers to vilify donald trump by stirring up a scandal claiming interference by the Russian Security service. Sounds familiar, doesnt it . Ainsley another cia memo sent to then fbi director james comey and former agent peter strzok says clintons plan was meant as a way to, quote, distracting the public from her use of a private email server. So what this tells us is there was a distraction from her own scandal that president obama knew about it. And there was so much chaos. The president is saying that the biggest political crime in history and he said people have acted very slowly on all of this and he called it the russia hoax. Do you know whats interesting . We keep hearing everyone say peaceful transition of power. And thats what is supposed to happen from one president to the next. But thats not at all what happened according to these documents. There was so much chaos and you hear from the democrats we need peaceful transition. And they did not allow that to happen in 2016 and 2017. Brian so they are saying that john brennan says, yeah, the notes are taken out of context. They are my notes. Did i make my notes while briefing the president. Im not sure the Vice President was there things like j. S. , james comeys name is written there they mentioned susan, one would assume its susan rice is written there and when they talk about Foreign Policy adviser it, doesnt say who it is. But any time Foreign Policy and adviser and trouble, usually means sidney blumenthal. Just google him up, you will see a lot of dicey things pop up under his name. John brennan did come out and speak and say its appalling declassify this information clearly designed to advance the political interest of donald trump. They say John Ratcliffe is basically by putting this out there it was russian disinformation and John Ratcliffe and said really . Russian disinformation . Thats you briefed the president verbally with russian disinformation . Thats not the protocol. Steve the problem with these documents that we have seen so far is a lot of them are redacted so we dont know a lot of the surrounding context. Nonetheless, what we have seen it appears that Hillary Clinton and team invented the russia hoax despite the fact that she was in hot water over her use of the personal email server which was completely unsecured. It looks like she invented it and the former president , barack obama, knew all about it. Of course, that begs the question what did his Vice President joe biden know about it . You got to wonder whether or not this is going to come up tonight at the Vice President ial debate. Because, if the moderator does not bring it up, i have a pretty good feeling that because the trumppence team has been talking about this for a very long time, mike pence is going to bring it up. Somebody who has written a couple of books on the topic is Gregg Jarrett and he looked at the newly declassified evidence and had this observation about what we now know. We know that Hillary Clinton not only invented the russia hoax she financed the russia hoax. She disseminated the russia hoax and barack obama knew it. He sat there silently as our government was thrown into turmoil for the last four years over what he knew based on the intelligence presented to him by john brennan was phony information conjured up by Hillary Clinton to distract from her own emails. But it demonstrates just how immoral, unscrupulous, devious and corrupt Hillary Clinton was. I would argue she has committed crimes depending upon how she disseminated the information. Steve if you remember, remember the book shattered that came out and detailed Hillary Clintons loss. It made it very clear because the reporters were there, the night of the loss they decided to go ahead and say you know what, the reason we lost is because russia got involved. And so, ainsley, the narrative continued. Ainsley whats interesting, this is something we have been talking about for four years now. Network news, the evening news coverage, zero. Abc, nbc. Steve what . Ainsley cbs. This is such a major story the declassification, learning whats in these documents and learning who knew. They didnt cover it at all. It shouldnt surprise you because yesterday it came out that nbc, remember the biden town hall . They came under fire. Steve the biden infomercial . Ainsley exactly thats what theyre calling it now. Undecided voters stood up oh im undecided voter. Turns out if do you your research the socalled undecided voters who participated are actually biden supporters two of them lester holt said voted republican in the past. They were on msnbc in august and identified by the network as biden voters. Two of the other undecided voters had probiden antitrump social media posts, brian. Brian unbelievable and compare that to the George Stephanopoulos town hall debate with undecided voters when the president was just blistered by questions coming from the left and the right there wasnt any trump supporter in a thousand miles of George Stephanopoulos town hall. The president never complained and compare it to that infomercial. You wonder at some point if people are going to say this is so weighted against the president maybe im going to flip my vote and finally on this dossier, one thing we do know, the dnc and Hillary Clinton campaign combined to pay for that dossier report. No one seems to know that and understand that. The other thing to add in when they start looking at carter page it was right around when this memo was written. Carter page the first fisa warrant when they looked at his links to russia. Foreign policy adviser to the president of the United States. That shows excuse me, the candidate donald trump, that shows a link to russia when it turns out he also did work for the cia. But they forgot to put that in the fisa warrant. Hope you can follow all that. Steve houshouse of cards. Brian by the way what was dan coats doing. Brad parscale and ric grenells predecessor he could have accessed this stuff. He was just holding a place there its debate day in utah Vice President mike pence and senator harris will face off only time before next months election. Griff jenkins is in Salt Lake City with what we can expect, griff, tonight. Griff . Hey, brian, ainsley and steve, you were talking, its unclear whether this story may come up, any questions about it as steve mentioned because the moderator, susan page, has not release an official list of topics. We do know she has 90 minutes and going to break it up into nine 10minute segments. Seems like an opportunity for a question or two. One issue we know that will be front and center as theyre separated by pleg plexiglass and seated 12 minutes apart. The president s own diagnosis. We spoke with the Trump Communications director tim murtaugh who says Vice President pence will look to draw harris out on her record and vigorously defend the president s response to the pandemic. Listen. Remember in the early going when there were these projected shortages of equipment and things like ventilators, those shortages never occurred. The record that the president and Vice President have in fights the coronavirus is something that we will match up to with joe biden any day because to this day neither joe biden or anyone on his staff can ever point to anything and say that they would do one thing differently. And we expect harris who has been here since last friday prepping with mayor Pete Buttigieg playing the role of mike pence will go hard on covid19 and we got a glimpse of her, perhaps, likely line of attack from biden who was on the campaign trail in gettysburg, yesterday. Here is what he said. It its estimated that anotr 210,000 americans could lose their lives by the end of the year. Lets end the politics and follow the science. Wearing a mask, wearing a mask is not a political statement. Now, biden also said yesterday he might cancel next weeks debate in miami if the president is still testing positive. As for tonight, both pence and harris were required to provide a negative covid test. They have both done so. So thats not an issue. And actually just a little insight for those of us covering this, every person inside the perimeter, im obviously outside right now. The secret service is sweeping the area. Everybody that goes inside will be required to have green bracelet that signifies that you had a negative cod covid test. Much anticipated hours away steve steve. And. Brian same Technology Ladies night at the bars to make the guy at the door paid money at the door. Steve you are talking about wrist bands. Brian same technology. Yes, every bar in america. Steve all right, griff, thank you very much. Things kick off 9 00 p. M. Eastern time right here. Ainsley i havent heard ladies night in ages. Brian are we still allowed to have ladies night . Steve just before the market closed yesterday, wall street was shocked to see that the president was pulling the plug on negotiating with nancy pelosi because th apparently he felt he she was not negotiating in good faith and still a long ways away. Democrats 2. 4 trillion and the republicans were offering 1. 6 trillion. He said lets not negotiate with them until after the election. Nancy pelosi was on a phone call with democrats and said, you know, i think the steroids are impacting or influencing the president reportedly. So, anyway. He pulled the plug on it. But then he made it very clear, i want there are specific parts of the economy that i have offered stand alone bills for and they simply wont pick them up, ainsley. Ainsley he wants clean bills. He says i want 25 billion for Airline Payroll support. Let me read his tweets the house and senate should immediately prove 25 billion for Airline Payroll support and 135 billion for Paycheck Protection Program for Small Businesses. Both of these will be fully paid for with unused funds from the cares act. Have this money. I will sign now. Then he tweets if i am sent a stand alone bill for stimulus checks, 1,200 apiece, they will go out to our great people immediately. I am ready to sign right now. Are you listening, nancy . Mitch mcconnell said nancy has never made a reasonable offer. Heres the thing though. People are hurting. People are losing their jobs. We all know people who are hurting and worried about their futures, right . We are all going through this together. But, when you cant pay your bills, thats extremely stressful. That you will back and forth theater the president is saying lets get a clean bill if we can at least agree on 1. 6 trillion. If thats what republicans will do and meet nancy at that level just approve that and get all the stuff out of there, all the extras and just do a clean bill and help these people out. Its been months vince they have gotten a check. Brian hours meeting with steve munichible and the speaker have both indicated they both want to do a deal. For the president to come out with a tweet like that with the markets still open crashed the market and cost people a lot of money knowing an hour before federal chairman Jerome Powell put out a statement theyre warning faking to object more help in the economy would weaken the tenuous economy the country needs stimulus checks. Airlines need help and, of course, you have 30,000 people who are about to lose their jobs and be furloughed through no fault of their own, tourist industry and Hospitality Industry has been destroyed. If you work in a hotel, you dont need me to tell you that so get the ppp program financed again. They have to find a way to work out this thing behind closed doors because riding the markets it has nothing but have people lose money and gets people extremely closed. With the market closed the president says lets do this again. I understand negotiating tactics not at this point. I actually think the president now has more pressure on him now than he had before his first tweet because nancy pelosi clearly could turn around and say its not my fault. I was having talks. So it looks like the president is the one to blame now. I dont know how he has leverage. Steve iwilling. To say people want 1200 buck checks. Is he specific i will write the checks, nancy, pick up the phone, lets do a deal. Keep you posted who knows maybe he will be tweeting this morning during our show. Meantime news with jillian.

What can they learn from past debate performances . What can we learn . Lets ask president ial debate coach brett odonnell. Brett, first off, some of the tenets for Vice President s in the past one of which you bring up is do no harm. Thats right. The first rule for Vice President ial debates is dont harm the ticket. So you are there to represent the top of the ticket. You are there to go after the other sides top of picket. You are there to defend your running mate, but you cant do harm because, obviously, people dont vote because of Vice President s. But if you make them vote, its usually because of bad news. Brian you say pass the commanderinchief test. Have to look like you could be ipresident. Attack the other ticket. Here is an example of a moment that harris was prepared for and im sure she is prepared for something for something for mike pence. This is a moment that really stood out. Listen. It was hurtful to hear you talk about the reputations of two United States senators who built their reputation and career on the segregation of race. You also worked with them to oppose busing. There was a little girl in california who was part of the second class to integrate her public school, and she was bussed to school every day. And that little girl was me. Brian he had no idea she was going there. That was the moment even snl picked up on. That came out but that was prepared. Right . Oh, absolutely. They sold tshirts right after she delivered that little girl was me line. They had tshirts ready to sell that said that little girl was me. And so it was a completely canned line. It was her best moment in the debates but, across all of the debates she hasnt been as strong as she is being made out to be. Brian she is whip smart great legal mind. She didnt prethink the major i of the day to her own record and candidacy. Now she has to memorize joe biden she was in five of the 11 democratic primaries. You bring up mike pence. The Vice President hasnt debated in four years. When he did debate last time begins tim kaine this is the moment you told to us pull, listen. Did you all just hear that . Ours is an insultdriven campaign . To be honest with you, if donald trump had said all the things that you have said he said in the way you said he said them, he still wouldnt have a fraction of the insults that Hillary Clinton leveled when she said that hazell of our supporters were a basket of deplorables she said they were irredeemable. They were not america. I mean, its extraordinary. Brian cant say mike pence wasnt ready for that the he knw they were going to attack the president personally. This is example of what a Vice President ial candidate needs to do until al debate. He is not there to represent or defend himself. Hes there to defend and go after the top of the other ticket. Hillary clinton had called Trump Supporters a basket of deplorables and Vice President pence turned that into a great moment in the debate at the expense of tim kaine. Brian brett, that you can about things you can expect. Thats when someone comes at you in a major debate and you could not defend your own record. She has to avoid this. Tulsi gabbard took her apart, case in point, watch. Senator harris says she is proud of her record as a prosecutor and that she will be a prosecutor president. But im deeply concerned about this record. I did the work of significantly reforming the criminal Justice System of the state of 40 Million People which became a National Model for the work that needs to be done. And i am proud of that work. The bottom line is, senator harris, when you were in a position to make a difference an an impact in these peoples lives, you did not. Brian she went on to go specifically through cases in which evidence was withheld and decisions were made for political purports and Kamala Harris had no response. Thats correct. And that is because she was playing in the details of defense. Whenever a candidate is forced backwards and defending specific tenets of their record, thats not a good thing. You want to be on offense. And the problem for Kamala Harris across the debates, the reason her campaign failed is because she could never figure out how to play offense on issues. She could never figure out where she stood on issues and so she ended up running to the left on almost everything which is not true to herself. Brian right. Because the debate went off the rails last time we dont know how joe biden is going to defend his 47 years as owe pose touted candidate is he pretending to be now. Now he has to ask Kamala Harris to digest all of that in a month. She has not done many introduce. So there is interviews. There is a lot on the line. If he can get on offense he could give the Team Momentum in a number of weeks. Brett, thank you for the post game. Thank you very much. Thank you. Brian slamming Closing Argument for joe biden. They are stoking fears about black and brown americans. Its morally wrong and, yes, it is racist. Brian wow, our next guest says black americans deserve far better than that first the Vice President ial debate tonight enter for a free chance to win 25,000 from our fox and friends fox bet super 6. Download the fox bet super 6 app. Pick six possible outcomes and watch the Vice President ial debate on fox news tomorrow to see how it all unfolds. That will be tonight. Im going to watch it tonight if you dont mind. Download the fox bet former First Lady Michelle Obama launching attacks against President Trump. Closing argument for joe biden. Watch. Think about what would possibly compel you to accept this level of chaos, violence and confusion under this president. Search your hearts and your conscience and vote for joe biden like your lives depend on it. Ainsley here to react is the cochair of black voices for trump. Stacey washington. Hey, stacey. Hey, ainsley. Ainsley hi. Im sure you watched the whole thing. What did you think . Wow. Okay, so she contradicts herself a bit there, Michelle Obama talking about the violence and then basically not attributing any of the violence to the source of it which is the democrats. But i think one of the biggest misses for this Closing Argument for her is the fact that she is ignoring that the primary victims of the violence and burned neighborhoods and specifically the loss of businesses, the locals of that revenue and jobs are black americans. And so she spends a lot of her Political Capital as first lady. She did a lot of things that you know, there were the gardens and the Lunch Program and all of that and black americans supported her through this all. She and her husband did a fantastic job of raising their daughters in the white house. They have a great marriage. I always complimented them on the things they do that is positive mentoring program. In this case she takes all of that loyalty from black americans where we voted for her over 95 of black americans voted for her husband. The book purchases of her book becoming everything she has done black america has supported her. Now when black america is in the throws of really a crises, black communities destroyed, burned out, bombed out. Really like hell holes on earth, then you see her come out and ignore all of that destruction and tell black americans to vote for the party that is the purveyor of that violence. And for the candidate who just most recently said that i, stacey, and other plaque women like me have a reason because we stock grocery shelves that he was able to remain in quarantine in safety. So that kind of tone deaf conversation from him coupled with her lies about trump. Platinum plan everything is he doing for black america, it was like a train wreck. And i could not stand it. Ainsley i want to get your reaction from her Closing Argument. Watch. This stoking fears about black and brown americans, lying about how minorities will destroy the suburbs . Whipping up violence and intimidation. And they are pinning it all on what has been an overwhelmingly Peaceful Movement. Ainsley stacey . So, ainsley, first of all, President Trump is aware Briefing Room outside of the oval office. Is he aware that 52 of black americans live in the suburbans. Thisuburbs. Speaking at obama are away suburban homes im black live in the suburbs. High density low Income Housing right next to me on the lot next door where my subdivision has a three acre minimum. This is about local control. Its not about black people but more importantly, ainsley, this is a distraction. The obamas are being trotted out to distract black americans from the fact that biden has no agenda. He has no plans for black america. Ainsley staysy, thank you so much for joining us. Stacey washington. Former cia director john brennan is furious that his notes were declassified calling it an appalling political move. Senator tom cotton sits on the Senate Intel Committee and is he here to react coming up next call me, call me any, any time. Call me reentering data that employees could enter themselves . Thats why i get up in the morning i have a secret method for remembering all my hr passwords. My boss doesnt remember approving my time off. Lets just. Find that email. The old way of doing business slows everyone down. With paycom, employees enter and manage their own hr data in one easytouse software. Visit paycom. Com for a free demo. Knowinits hard. Re is hard. Eliminate who you are not first, and youre going to find yourself where you need to be. The race is never over. The journey has no port. The adventure never ends, because we are always on the way. Declassification of information that clearly is designed to advance the political interests of donald trump and republicans who are aligned with him. Steve there you have got the former cia director john brennan talking about those newly released declassified documents that apparently show that brennan told barack obama about Hillary Clintons plan before the election to tie candidate donald trump to russia as a, quote, a means of distracting the public from her use of private email server. Its all to stir up a scandal. Lets bring in arkansas republican senator tom cotton, a member of the Senate Intel Committee. He has had a pretty good idea that this had happened all along. And, senator, so, if the former president barack obama knew about it, you got to wonder what did joe biden know . Yeah, good morning, steve. I think you have to assume that joe biden knew and was in on this from the very beginning. I understand that john brennan is upset over being exposed, but his handwritten notes from the summer of 2016 really confirm what common sense has told us all along. The only candidate and the only campaign to use foreign disinformation in 2016 was Hillary Clinton. She hired a foreign spy, who had sources in russia, probably russian Intelligence Officers themselves, to dig up dirt on donald trump and to spread it around the american media. Of course the kremlin would have gotten wind of that effort by Christopher Steele, a former british spy to try to identify that information and, of course, they were trying to use that as a way to inject their own disinformation into the american political debate. The person and the campaign responsible for that is Hillary Clinton and the democrats. Barack obama knew about it as early as the summer of 2016. Its fair to say joe biden knew about it as well. Ainsley the president is ridiculed about his tweets but its almost the only way can he communicate and get this story out there because abc, nbc, and cbs, none of the nightly newscasts reported this at all when this information came out yesterday. Yeah. Ainsley. Its not surprising that the media wing of the Democratic Party is in overdrive to protect joe biden in a partisan cacoon over these last four weeks of the campaign. They have been waging nonstop political battle against the president for five years. And theyre not going to let up in the final four weeks of the campaign. Brian senator, lets just make sure everybody understands that they are just waking up and they always hear a russia story and they wonder what this is grounded. In john brennan is verbally briefing the president of the United States about a plan that would tie then candidate donald trump to russia as a means of distracting the public from her use of a private email server. This is not an machine. John brennans words, his writings, long hand, so, john brennan does not deny this is him. And said this in explanation. Tell me if this makes it better. , if in fact, what the russians were alleging that hillary was trying to highlight the reported connections between trump and russians, if, in fact, that was accurate, and thats a big if, there is nothing at all illegal about that. And so John Ratcliffe and others are trying to portray this as potentially unlawful activity that deserves followup investigation by the fbi. No, it was a campaign activity. Brian so im going to let you, you are a lawyer, you just heard him say nothing wrong about that. As a distraction from her email scandal, nothing wrong about that. Senator . Sounded like word fog of cya to me, brian. Remember its not John Ratcliffe that made this fbi referral. He certainly classified an fbi referral that was contemporaneously, apparently to John Brennans briefing of the president in his handwritten notes there was enough concern at the time to do so. Again, we dont need to have these notes alone to verify. This just go back and look at the tape. Throughout the summer and fall of 2016, Hillary Clinton and the democrats were accusing donald trump and his campaign of colluding with the russians. We now know that that collusion hoax was false and that it was Hillary Clinton and the democrats who were actually colluding with foreign Intelligence Officers. Brian outline this and tell me if you think im wrong. They wrote a check, along with the dnc, which, by the way was financed by Hillary Clintons campaign because barack obama left it without any money, they cofinanced the dossier. The series of briefs put into a haphazard report, financing Christopher Steele to go use his contacts in russia to find out things that turned out not to be true about donald trump. That not only detonated explosive story in the fall, actually destroyed his winter. His inaugural and launched the mueller report. Right . Not only did she do it, she financed it. Hillary clinton and the dnc through various cutouts and monitoring mechanisms paid Christopher Steele a British Intelligence officer to go dig up administer russia. Steve senator, real quick, the president pulled the plug on negotiating with nancy pelosi over the stimulus. Sounds like he would like stand alone bills to get people 1200 bucks, help bail out and assist rescue the airlines. What do you think of that real quick . Steve, unfortunately, nancy pelosi and Chuck Schumer havent really been negotiating good faith. What the president proposed yesterday is exactly the kind of bill republican senators tried to advance last month. But the democrats didnt want to pass a bill before the election. They didnt want any bill without a no Strings Attached bailout of cities and states that have been grossly mismanaged for decades with nothing to do with the coronavirus. So, if the democrats are serious about getting relief to the people that need it most they would take up the bill that Senate Republicans proposed just last month. Ainsley senator tom cotton, thanks for joining us. Thank you. Ainsley you are welcome. Lets hand it over to janice she has been tracking this hurricane delta. Steve oh my goodness, look at that. Janice making landfall right now across the yucatan. The beautiful beaches between cancun and cozumel right now as a major hurricane we are expecting it to move into the gulf of mexico and make another landfall across the coast of louisiana. We think, on friday. Friday afternoon into friday evening. So its going to weaken a little bit because its over land. But then we expect it to strengthen again into a major hurricane, perhaps another category 4 as we get into tomorrow. And then friday we are bracing for impact here friday afternoon, we think right between the border of texas and central louisiana. Remember, the right side of the centers of circulation is where we are going to get the worse of the heavy rain and storm surge and Hurricane Force winds. There is the rainfall forecast. The good news it is going to be picked up by a front so its going to be a quick mover. Its not going to stall. But, still, another major hurricane making impact along the louisiana coast. Look at this. Storms so far named 24 hurricanes, nine u. S. Landfalls, nine, this would make it the 10th, that has never happened before in our history to have 10 named storms make landfall in one season. We will continue to keep you up to date. Steve, ainsley, brian, back to you. Brian right. Thank you. Appreciate it, janice. Meanwhile the Biden Campaign pledging to spend nearly 6 million on an ad blitz in texas. Our next guest left california for the Lone Star State and says bidens biggest mistake is something that money cannot fix. But i like it, i love it, i want some more of it i try so hard, i cant rise above it dont know what it is get a dozen double crunch shrimp for one dollar with any steak entree. Only at applebees. Jillian good morning, we are back with headlines now. Hundreds of Orthodox Jews burning masks in brooklyn overnight protesting new covid19 restrictions in new york city hot spots. [shouting] protesters accuse the governor and mayor of scapegoat them for spikes in covid19 cases. Schools will close and religious Gatherings Limited in hot spots. Most of them are in highly populated jewish communities. Terrifying video shows the moment a 9yearold girl is kidnapped as she walks home from school. Look at this. A car parking right next to the young girl after she gets off the bus. Then a man jumps out and grabs her. She was later let go. Police in rhode island arrested the suspect. They have not released his name or the charges he could face. But that is frightening,. Steve steve terrifying. Thank you very much, jillian. Meanwhile joe biden making a play for the state of texas, planning a 6 million ad blitz as beto orourke claims the Lone Star State is joes to lose. Since the last president ial election, 2016, more than 1. 5 million texans have registered to vote. My contention is that this is bidens to lose. And were not going to wait for the Biden Campaign to wake up to that reality. Steve so, does that suggest texas is more vulnerable than a lot of people thought . Lets talk to chuck devore. He is a former california state assemblyman who left california for texas. Chuck, good morning to you. Hey, good morning. Steve you know one of the things about texas going blue you would think that might be the case if joe biden or Kamala Harris had actually ever visited. Well, you are on to something there you know, a campaigns most valuable asset is the candidate themselves. And how often have we seen either joe biden or Kamala Harris come to texas . The answer is not once in the last year. If you look at President Trump though, he has visited texas 11 times since last year. So, right there you have to look at this and say, wait a minute, something may not be quite right maybe its not quite what it seems. Steve chuck, what about the news that the Biden Campaign targeted 6 million for the tv markets in texas . Thats another very interesting thing the announcement that they reserved 5. 8 million of Television Ads made news all over the country. You see headlines everywhere, which was the point. But the key issue here is they reserved the time. Its like a dinner reservation. It can be canceled. Its not going to impress texans very much unless those ads actually run. Im very doubtful that they will. Steve what about the many people like yourself who move from california to texas and some have suggested that all these people from out of state from big high tax states going into texas could actually help turn a red state blue or at least purple . Sure. And i hear that a lot and understand the concerns of texans who have been born here and have been raised in the Lone Star State. But there have been a number of polls that would seem to indicate that the people who generally move to texas are the conservatives that are fleeing high taxes and regulations. They are fleeing states that are governed like biden and harris want to govern america. So, in the case of california, california is essentially the future of the nation under a biden presidency. Things like blackouts and high taxes and crushing regulatory burdens. Thats why californians like me move to texas to escape all of that. Steve sure. In addition to the president ial race, john cornyn is up for reelection and you you know, if people dont vote for the top of the ticket for President Trump, they are they ultimately might come in to vote for john cornyn, which would help donald trump as well. Right. And by every indication, senator cornyn is going to be returned to the u. S. Senate. You know, the other thing that President Trump campaign has going to be it in texas is he has some very strong surrogates here. For example, our Lieutenant Governor dan patrick has been stumping for the president. Steve interesting. I expect the president to win the Lone Star State, no problem. Steve there you go. We will see what joe does with his 6 million. Chuck devore, thank you very much for joining us live. Thank you. Steve you bet. We are going to step aside. Donald trump jr.

The only campaign to use foreign disinformation in 2016 was mostl Hillary Clinton. President trump calling on congress to send him a stand alone bill for a new round of stimulus checks. The president tweeting im ready to sign right now. Are you listening, nancy . Tonight we will see the first and only Vice President ial debate. You are there to represent the top of the ticket. You are there to defend your running mate. But you cant do harm. The st. Louis couple who confronted protesters they say threatened their lives they have been indicted in total shock. In violation, i think, of their constitutional right. Its an attempt to intimidate lawabiding citizen for trying to defend yourselves. Vote for joe biden like your lives depend on it. The obamas are being trodded out to distract black americans from the fact that biden has no agenda. He has no plan for black america. Ainsley good morning to you, look at that dark there on the stage but tonight the lights will be up 99 to 10 30. Watch it here on the Fox News Channel special coverage starting at 6 00. Steve you know, ainsley, right there we can tell you even though we dont have a measuring stick. Apparently the two seats are 12 feet apart at least. And can you kind of make out see those plexiglass disks, Kamala Harris and the Joe Biden Team had asked for plexiglass and the pence team didnt want that because didnt want to make it appear that he was being boxed in but ultimately after they had a walk through yesterday, the pension people said if she wants plexiglass there, we have no problem. Not the hill to die on susan page will be asking the questions. 27 days until the election. More than 4 million of you americans have voted today. I believe this is going to be the most consequential Vice President ial debate because of the president s positive test, his uneven performance in debate one. This is a chance for the trumppence team to regain momentum that they have not had in a couple of weeks. Steve you have got to wonder whether tonight joe biden will be asked about this story. President trump has authorized the declassification of all documents in the russia probe and Hillary Clinton email investigation and now they have been released, ainsley. Ainsley thats right. It comes as documents show top officials briefed former president obama on clintons alleged plan to tie then candidate trump to russia as a distraction from her emails, brian. Brian we kind of wet your appetite on this explosive story which promises a few other advances today. Gillian turner has agreed unless she changed her mind at the last minute, to break down this story as we know it today. Gillian, will you go ahead and do what you promised before the show . Gillian i mean i will think about it. Brian how about now . Gillian do you want me to do it now . Brian im hoping, yeah. Gillian all right. So now, just as you guys know a few weeks out from election day 2020, President Trump and the Justice Department is still investigating his political opponent from back in 2016. That being, of course, Hillary Clinton. The president releasing a flurry of tweets overnight about the counter probe into the russia investigation. He writes i fully authorized the total declassification of any and all documents pertaining to the single greatest political crime in American History, the russia hoax. Likewise the Hillary Clinton email scandal. Now that authorization actually came nearly a year and a half ago when President Trump gave his attorney general bill barr complete authority to declassify all documents related to surveillance of his campaign back in 2016. Trump at that time had also ordered members of the intelligence communities to fully cooperate with barrs probe. This latest tweet storm came after a note from former cia director john brennan to then president obama was released publicly by house and senate intel it reads alleged approved by Hillary Clinton a proposal from one of her Foreign Policy advisers to vilify donald trump by stirring up the scandal claiming interference by the Russian Security service. This note is part of a bigger tranche of documents transmitted by d i, John Ratcliffe, over to the house and Senate Intelligence committees yesterday. Reacting to this new disclosure, Hillary Clinton spokesman mick merrill called the entire counter probe, quote, baseless bull. It is also important to point out here allies of the president over on capitol hill have been saying for months, if not years, ever since these documents were ordered declassified by President Trump that fbi director chris wray and cia director gina haspel have been blocking the public release of this information. We will bring more to you as it develops. Brian, ainsley, steve . Ainsley all right. Thank you so much, gillian. John brennan briefing the president. We know that now. We know this is a distraction. Hillary clinton used this as a distraction from her own email scandal. John brennan was interviewed about it. And he said releasing this right now he said its appalling and its political. Listen to this. It is appalling, his selective declassification of information that clearly is designed to advance the political interests of donald trump and republicans who are aligned with him. Ainsley well, and the president said this is so political. He said its the biggest political crime in history and people have acted so slowly thats why he wanted to do this and called it the russia hoax, brian. Brian he is saying, the u. S. President ial candidate Hillary Clinton approval of a plan concerning the u. S. Candidate donald trump and russia hackers hampering the u. S. Election as a means of distracting. Thats what he wrote. He has initials of susan rice, it seems. Susan, i marks i dont know anybody else with that type of security clearance that close to the put, and james comey, and peter strzok, i am thinking these names sound familiar to you. Off they went with the operation hurricane. So, senator tom cotton hearing all of this has been talking about this but now he has a confirmation about this and heres what he now concludes. We dont need to have these notes alone to verify. This just go back and look at the tape. Throughout the summer and fall of 2016, Hillary Clinton and the democrats were accusing donald trump and his campaign of colluding with the russians. We now know that collusion hoax was false and that it was Hillary Clinton and the democrats who were actually colluding with foreign Intelligence Officers. I understand that john brennan is upset over being exposed but his handwritten notes from the summer of 2016 really confirm what common sense has told us all along. The only candidate and the only campaign to use foreign disinformation in 2016 was Hillary Clinton. Brian she financed the dossier, she cut the deal with Christopher Steele, the dnc did it as well. Her campaign and dnc did it as well. She financed the dnc and bailed it out because barack obama left it empty, the treasury empty and debbie was sermon schultz was a disaster. Thats why Donna Brazile was brought in. All of a sudden there probe happenings and have you two simultaneously taking trump. How do i know that . Show time. Looked at as the hero. Fundamentals of it why doesnt john brennan come out and tell us how out of context these memos are. Please explain. Just going on another channel saying they are out of context doesnt suffice. Steve we do know large portions of these documents are redacted. We dont know exactly the context and we dont know details. Im sure he would be reluctant to do just that what this does show us the Intel Community knew that the Hillary Clinton campaign was trying to stir up a scandal. And, yet, the doj and the fbi did not stop it. And have you got to wonder why. Of course, with what are we . We are just 27 days out before the election. This would be the biggest story in the world if coronavirus wasnt out there. And if the president didnt have it. Will it be a game changer . You know, none of the networks ran one second of that story yesterday. Lets see if that changes today. Meanwhile, we as we, the election will be over four weeks from yesterday. Some of the big political news, joe biden yesterday said he wished he hadnt called the president a clown. Said he wished he would have said clownish undertaking. The New York Times endorsed joe biden. Brian are you kidding . Really . [laughter] steve push me over with a feather. Joe biden said if the president is not medically cleared for the next debate, maybe they shouldnt have it at this point. One other thing, Michelle Obama. Former first lady of the United States had a Closing Argument that she released on video. It was blistering. And among other things, she calls our current president a racist. They are stoking fears about black and brown americans. Lying about how minorities will destroy the suburbs . They are pinning it all on what has been an overwhelmingly Peaceful Movement for racial solidarity. What the president is doing is, once again, patently false. Its morally wrong and, yes, it is racist. That doesnt mean it wont work. Ainsley so the Trump Campaign released a statement. The Obamabiden Administration had 8 years to make gains for minority communities in america and they have nothing to show for it. These baseless attacks from the former first lady only prove that joe biden is yet to shore up the support of black americans after taking their votes for granted and failing minority communities for decades. We interviewed Stacy Washington earlier on the show and asked her about this. She is the cochair for black voices for trump. Listen to this. Everything she has done, black america has supported her. Now when black america is in the throws of really a crises, black communities destroyed, burned out, bombed out. Really like hell holes on earth, then you see her come out and ignore all of that destruction and tell black americans to vote for the party that is the purveyor of that violence. The obamas are being trotted out to distract black americans from the fact biden has no agenda. He has no plans for black america. Brian Stacy Washington also would later point out, which is so true, is that these mostly peaceful protests walk around new york. Were still not back with all the graffiti thats been spread. All the things that have been busted. The 400 plus cops that have been injured and still allowed to work let alone the ones that cant get back on the job. Let alone what happened in los angeles. We see about that. We see with kenosha, are you going to tell me that they have recovered yet . Let alone to what happened 100 plus days in portland where antifa representative is now winning the race for mayor of that city that is just crest fallen in terms of people who had hope for that city as well as seattle. I think pushback pretty hard Michelle Obama mostly peaceful protests as well as what has been going on with some of these organized groups. Another thing, i just find it odd. Its yesterday was tuesday. 27 days left. She is one of the most Popular Democratic person nantles person the country. Why is she rolling out Closing Argument on tuesday. Something must be wrong concerned about what happened with Hillary Clinton. A lot of africanamerican voters that came out for president obama didnt come out. She wants to make sure they are coming out. I thought she was sure. Is something going on where they are not showing the enthusiasm for 77yearold joe biden that they showed for her husband . Steve great question. Dont know. Stay tuned. All right. 7 12 now time for news. Jillian. Jillian good morning. Time for this story. The st. Louis couple who defended their home during protests in june speaking out overnight after being indicted by a grand jury. Mark and patricia mckoloski charged with unuseful use of a weapon. Mark says the charges are politically motivated. If you have the owe disas city to try protect yourself, to exercise your Second Amendment rights, thats an unforgivable crime to the left because you are supposed to have, you know, just mindless obedience and you are not supposed to challenge them. Jillian the mckoloskis are scheduled to appear in court next week. President trump calling on round ofto send him a stand stimulus checks. The president tweeting, quote, is he ready to sign just hours after ending talks on a new covid19 relief bill. He blames the decision on House Speaker nancy pelosi accusing her of not negotiation in good faith. She said he said talks would resume after the election. The president also urged congress to approve money for the Airline Industry and help Small Businesses. The joint chiefs of staff and other Senior Pentagon leaders have tested negative after potentially being exposed to covid19. The nations top military leaders are now selfquarantining out of an abundance of caution. On monday, coast guard admiral charles ray tested positive. Is he nod not a member of the joint chiefs but did attend several pentagon meetings with them. Then there is this alex trebek announces an nhl draft pick in true jeopardy style.

We were the answer. Brian thats a good question. Ainsley it was pretty cool. Brian what was the question who was the coolest fox and friend i think it was me again.

Steve well, Vice President mike pence and senator Kamala Harris have been preparing for that usual showdown at tonights debate. The only one between the two Vice President ial candidates in Salt Lake City. Former Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker has reportedly been helping the Vice President prep, just like he helped the Vice President prepare back in 2016 with tim kaine. Whats the strategy this time around. Scott walker joins us from Salt Lake City with a preview. Governor, you said to me during the commercial that you also were an answer on jeopardy once upon a time. Thats right. Who is the only governor in American History to survive a recall. My mom was very happy to see alex trebek that off on jeopardy. Made her day, probably made her year. Steve i bet. You have denied or been coy that you have been helping this Vice President prototype. You are in Salt Lake City. Why else would you be there. Im proud to help the president. He did a fabulous job four years ago and fabulous job today. I call it r and r. Talk about the recovery. Talk about the 10. 5 million new jobs in the last four months. Talk about the recovery we had before the pandemic. Talk about the plan the president has and contrast that with former Vice President who is going to raise taxes and not take us down the road to recovery. And then contrast that with the other r, radical. Joe biden has outsourced his campaign, his agenda to the radical left. And senator harris is the epitome of that she has a voting record, according to newsweek that literally is more liberal than Bernie Sanders. The most liberal voting record in the United States senate last year. Recovery and radical are two points you will hear a lot of tonight. Steve i think at the same time she is going to pin down the current Vice President on coronavirus, which is, you know, has kind of swept through the west wing of the white house. And of which mike pence headed up the Coronavirus Task force. He can expect incoming on that. There is no doubt about it. Probably not only from harris but from the moderator susan page of u. S. A. Today. I think its porpoise. I have said this before. , that heand others who suppore me and others dr. Birx and dr. Fauci said the Vice President anpresident and theta. They warnlsd there could have been as many as 2. 2 Million People could have died had they not taken action. They did take that action. We did level the curve. We are in a much better place. Certainly we mourn with those who mourn. Had we gone down the path of joe biden who ignored the president s calls in fact actually attacked the president s calls for closing travel off from places like china and whose own chief of staff a year ago said they screwed up the h1n1 response, i think the American People need to see what a contrast there is and the trumppence administration is much better off than where joe biden would have taken us and would in the future. Steve i have a feeling that mike pence is going to remind everybody that it was president obama who got briefed by john brennan that Hillary Clintons campaign was trying to stir up a scandal to deflect away from her email scandal and who was Vice President at the time . Joe biden. Joe biden. Exactly. And thats one of those where the American People need to hear it directly. Thats why these debates are so important in the following two from the president ial candidates because they are not going to hear it from most of the socalled main street media outlets. They need to hear the facts and push back. See a calm Vice President but see an emotional and aggressive one defending not just this administration but defending america because Kamala Harris and joe biden really are in many ways are attacking america. This Vice President along with the president and the next two debates, i think is going to defend the country and the good people of this great nation. Steve all right. He is a former governor of wisconsin and he just confirmed that he has been helping mike pence prepare. Scott walker, thank you very much. My pleasure. Good to be with you. Have a great day. Steve you as well. Meanwhile less than a month away from the election. Concerns over mailin ballots still growing.

First, number one, that is where new york ranks for losing the most residents than any other state during the pandemic. In august, United Van Lines revealed requests to leave the big apple jumped 52 above average. Next 406,000. That is the Record Number of gun background checks pennsylvania has done in just three months. State Police Seeing the surge between july and september. And finally, 24. Thats how many years fox news has been on the air. The channel launched back on october 7th, 1996. So thank you to all of you who have been loyal viewers. Brian . Brian thanks so much ainsley. 29 mention after the hour. With less than a month to go 2020 election. Warning courts across the country that conflicting orders could put voting by mail at risk. In latest filing tell a judge quote certain vegas overlapping requirements in these injunctions may be read to impose crippling obligations on the Postal Service that would make it near impossible to implement or would cause further delays. Joining us now to weigh in is New York Post columnist miranda devine. Miranda, the intention was to stop any reforms in the Postal Department because Postal Service because they thought that President Trump was trying to hinder it. What ended up happening . Look, i mean, i think this is a great goal in the end for the democrats. If the u. S. Postal service is saying that they are having crippling obligations placed on them by all these competing lawsuits and court orders, thats a real worry less than a month before the election. And you know, particularly, for democrats, when i mean, there are surveys saying that Something Like two thirds of democrats plan to vote by mail and the number of republicans is less than half that. Democrats have more at stake when it comes to mailin ballots. I think whats happening they have just spent the last five months absolutely terrorizing, terrifying their voters and telling them that its not safe to do in person voting, which is, you know, thats the way the system was set up. Thats the optimum way to vote. But funny enough, can you see that they realize the democrats this is an end goal because now in pennsylvania theyre actually urging democrat voters to get out and vote on election day in person. Brian miranda for the nonsoccer fans sometimes you score your own goal even at the highest level and it counts for the other team just so you know. I have to translate for the american soccer fans which i am. Meanwhile the usps has these conflicting orders allowing unlimited late or extra trips and overtime. Requiring all election mail be sent by plane. Forcing dissem bled sorting machines back into service. Treating political mail the same as election mail. 23 states have been suing the u. S. Post office for all Different Reasons and all its doing is hurting it. Exactly. We need the Postal Service to do its job properly in order to have an orderly election counting. And, you know, this is just sowing discord, discontent, anxiety. I think it really comes down to the fact that democrat states attorneys general want to micromanage the way the Postal Service does business. And thats because they dont trust postmaster general louis dejoy. Look, i think he gave a very good account of himself when he was called before congress a month or so ago. He they dentsd like him simply because is he a trump appointee. I think it just goes to the democrats trump derangement syndrome. They need to get over it and just think that the entire country needs to have faith nutz way this election operates. They need to grow up and make sure that the Postal Service is helped to do their job. Brian right. We have to grow up and let the post office do their job. I never thought we would be talking about this but it is a hot issue. Miranda devine writes great columns for the New York Post. Thanks, miranda. Thanks, brian. Brian coming up straight ahead, President Trump waking up this morning from the white house. Get update how he is feeling from his son donald trump jr. Could he be going to the oval office today .

And joe biden is not going to let his ego get in the way of fighting the disease. Ff pac is responsible for the content of this ad. Steve and i bet you will be watching at the university of utah tonight. Our special coverage of the v. P. Debate starts here at 6 00 p. M. Eastern time. Griff jenkins is already there in Salt Lake City with a look at the big night behind plexiglass. Griff . Griff yeah, you know, steve. Despite the fact they will be separated by plexiglass and 12 feet apart inside the kings bury hall behind me, things could still get heated between Vice President mike pence and senator Kamala Harris particularly when it comes to the coronavirus the administrations handling of it and the president s own diagnosis. We expect harris to go after pence on it but trump 2020 Communications Director tim murtaugh says that Vice President pence will vigorously defend their response and go after her own record. Watch. Kamala harris is still at this moment a cosponsor of Bernie Sanders medicare for all bill which outlaws private Health Insurance for 180 million americans. They are in the grips of the radical left and the Vice President will make it clear. Griff harris has been here since last friday preparing pretty much behind closed doors rarely out and not making public appearances. We got a look at her lines of attack on covid from joe biden who was in gettysburg yesterday. Its estimated that nearly another 210,000 americans could lose their lives by the end of the year. Lets end the politics and follow the science, wearing a mask, wearing a mask is not a political statement. Griff one other note about tonight, both harris and pence had to provide a negative covid test result for it to go forward it. Is doing so and all of us here inside the perimeter and in that hall will be tested and have to be negative as well to even be inside these gates. Brian, ainsley, steve . Ainsley thats great. Keep everyone safe. Thank you. Thanks, griff. Lets bring in donald trump jr. , executive Vice President of the Trump Organization and author the brand new boo book called liberal privilege joe biden and the democrats defense of the indefense cybil. Good morning. Good morning how are you . Ainsley doing well. What can we expect tonight . Listen, i think you will see a great debate. I really do want to get out there talking about the facts because the number one fact as it relates to covid is that Kamala Harris, joe biden, nancy pelosi, Chuck Schumer, they all wanted to keep our borders open between china, the epicenter of a viral outbreak, guys. That was their response. They couldnt help themselves but go to the p. C. Response of well, its racist and exo xenopc to epicenter of the coronavirus outbreak. They will have the media who will carry the water for them and do campaigning and work for them. Those are the facts. The number one thing we could have done to slow the spread of covid19 is exactly what my father did, where he shut down travel on january 31st from china. The democrats for six weeks wanted to keep the borders open, which would have flooded the country with sick people. It would have overwhelmed our systems and you would have read all the who are who are stories that were trying to pin on the administration that never would have. Brian mike pence is ready for a big night. He knows these issues so well he has done so much for the covid19 virus providing all this information for the states. Lets move on and talk about how your dad is feeling. Word is the symptoms have decreased, no sign of fever, shortness of breath. And what about the other story that i saw in the Jerusalem Post and vanity fair that don, you were concerned about your dads behavior in the hospital and the drive by . Is that true that had you this battle with your sister and brother about trying to intervene . Not even a little bit. I literally i had spoken to my father over the weekend. He was doing great. I hadnt spoken to anyone else in my family until basically that story broke. So we all sort of got a big laugh about it. Its vanity fair. They do these hit pieces. They dont have to source anything. They dont check with my team to see if its accurate. Its against donald trump. So there is exactly zero truth to that conversation having taken place at all. This is what they do try to pit the family against each over and try to do these kind of things. I swear on a stack will bibles that it never happened but that doesnt matter for vanity fair. Brian how is he feeling . How is your dad feeling . Oh, he is doing great. It was sort of amazing. Even speaking to him on friday or over the weekend. Literally he was rushing to get me off the phone because he had calls he had to make and work he had to do for the American People. I mean, you know, its sort of amazing. Some things never change. He has always been that way for his entire life. I have never even seen him sick. I dont think i have ever seen him have the flu or anything like that. I knew he was going to get through. This more importantly while he was getting through it he was still fighting for the American People which is pretty awesome to see. Steve don, what about the story that yesterday your dad treated out you know i have ordered the team to stop negotiating with nancy pelosi because the republicans have offered 1. 6 trillion and the democrats still wants 2. 3 trillion to bail out democratled states and cities and things like that. That shocked everybody, although now he says he would like to make sure that people got a 1,200 check if they would come back with that or to help rescue the Airline Industry. Apparently nancy pelosi was on the phone with democrats at the time, after she heard that the president had pulled the plug on the negotiation. And she said, you know, i think steroids could actually be influencing the president. In other words, your dad is suffering from some sort of rodd rage. Nancy has her own substance issues according to the press and the media. I wont get into that its obviously nonsense. The reality is. This nancy pelosi was trying to stack this, you know, literally probably a trillion dollars of excess nonsense to bailout democrat cities to push for cashless bail. To get Illegal Immigrants stimulus checks and part of that package while the american taxpayer, as usual gets to foot the bill for her radical left agenda. Donald trump simply wants to get money to the American People. But, if the democrats continue to do, this to try to drive that narrative as though they pulled out, its absolutely asinine. They asked for a wish list of totally ridiculous things. Things that have nothing to do with getting the economy going. Things that would only be there to fund, again, a radical leftist democrat wish list primarily, again, cashless bail, funding for Illegal Immigrants. I mean, this is the kind of nonsense that americans are sick of. Donald trump said enough. If she doesnt want to get to the table like she did numerous times before where she came up with more asinine things like millions and millions of dollars for the Kennedy Center for the arts. The real problem is though guys, they are trying to do that theyre trying to take responsible states taxpayer dollars and use it to bail out 50 years of failed democrat leadership in states and cities across the country. Have you senile whats gone on for the last six months. Have you seen it. Its all democrat cities with democrat mayors and democrat legislators and democrat governors and democrat rules over half a century sometimes even a century. Thats what she is trying to bail out and foot the bill on the american taxpayer. Because the media is so in the democrats pocketed they could walk away and see oh, see its donald trump thats doing it as opposed to her fighting for things that have nothing to do with helping the American People now when they need it most. Ainsley don, your dad has authorized declassifying all of the russia collusion documents. Its been revealed that john brennan did brief president obama, that hillary was stirring up a scandal between your father and russia to distract from her email scandal. What was your reaction to that. Listen, given what i went through because of that for three and a half years, im obviously pretty upset. Its sort of what we knew was going on all along. Its why i was so belligerent at the time and wasnt going to be quiet and let it go because i knew it was nonsense. But whats really frustrating is now that we know that this was, again, a setup. Now that we know all of them knew the cia, the upper levels of the fbi, the obama administration, obama and biden himself. They all knew. And they let this go on for four years. They let it happen knowing that it was nonsense because it would hurt donald trump. This kind of stuff cant happen in america. This kind of stuff shouldnt happen in third world countries but its going on right here. Whats scary is, guys, no one seems to care. Now that the media, now that its against their darling, obama, you know, despite his failed administration, you know, their darling candidate joe biden despite 50 years of failure in washington, d. C. With literally no success, certainly not one anyone could name, you know, now that its against them, they dont want anything. They are actually outraged that we would wants transparency. They are outraged that the American People should be able to see all of the information and, by the way, the upper levels of the fbi and the cia are still doing whatever they possibly can to make sure that those documents dont get out. They will say well, you know, there is secret stuff in there no, its not secret. Its nonsense. Its that you were all involved and you guys are protecting your failed dr. Corrupted bureaucratic institutions rather than the constitution. Brian gotcha. Which is the pattern we have seen for the last four years and it needs to stop now. Brian absolutely. Donald trump jr. Thanks so much. Its going to be an interesting 27 days. Thank you, yes, it will. Brian lets go to janice. She is tracking hurricane delta. Janice i know there is a lot of breaking news but, of course, we are watching delta because it is going to have impacts along the gulf coast. It has been downgraded to a category 2. It is over land right now. Moving in to cancun and cozumel. Beautiful beaches here in mexico. Unfortunately it is expected to strengthen once it gets into the gulf of mexico and we are expecting a landfall across louisiana on friday. We will continue to monitor the path of this. We will get a new update at 8 00 a. M. We will bring you the very latest, steve, ainsley, brian, back to you. Steve that could be very, very big. J. D. Thank you very much. Meanwhile Vice President pence and Kamala Harris will be separated by a couple of sheets of plexiglass at tonights debate. You can see it right there. Thats not the only precaution being taken for covid. A doctor who has been treating coronavirus patients from the start breaks down the Safety Measures coming up next. Ainsley when Vice President mike pence and senator Kamala Harris step on that stage tonight in utah it will look a little different because of covid covid19. Extra safety precautions plexiglass barriers and candidates kept 12 feet apart. Here to react is dr. Janette nesheiwat who specializes in family and emergency medicine. Good morning. Good morning, ainsley. Ainsley do you think so they can do this safely. Yeah. Absolutely they can do that i think the plexiglass might give a little bit of added protection but the verizon can always travel above it and around it. But im all for anything that we can do to further protect our Vice President as we await the full recovery of our president. Remember, our Vice President , he is second in the line of succession, so anything we can do to further protect him and everyone else around him i, i think, is wonderful. But we have to also remember that its important whats the ventilation and filtration in that room facility. Is everyone being tested . Are they wearing their masks and are they practicing physical distancing . All of those are important. Ainsley what do you expect both candidates to say about covid . Because the president came out, as you know, and said dont be afraid of this. Dont let it dominate you. Do you think mike pence will have that same message or will he be a little more measured or more scientific . Sure. So i think its important to understand and remind america that we have made tremendous progress and massive strides the past 7, 8 months. From my experience on the front lines, taking care of Covid Patients this past year, i remember at first starting out. We were short on pp permanents, we didnt have enough testing. We didnt have therapeutics. But now, ainsley, we have lifesaving therapeutics. We are conducting 1 million tests a day. And we have unlimited ppes. Remember the goal. The goal was to flatten the curve. To not overwhelm the hospitals and the healthcare workers. I think we have achieved that and i think our Vice President is going to remind america of those accomplishments. Ainsley what about Kamala Harris what will she say . Hopefully she will echo that same message because its all true. If you look our icu admissions are down. Our mortality rate is down. Our hospital rates are down. We also have massive amounts of testing. People can just walk in to a clinic and request a test without any delay, without any question, so we really have come a long way. Hopefully she will echo that same message, really important. Ainsley okay. Thank you so much for being with us. Thank you, ainsley. Ainsley you are welcome. 7 55 here on the east coast and another big hour coming up. Floridas Lieutenant Governor Jeannette Nunez and white house chief of staff mark meadows and more. When joe biden wants an update on the virus, he calls on the nations top health experts. Working together, for all americans, is what joe does. When writing his healthcare plan, joe biden worked with both doctors and patients to make healthcare affordable by lowering premiums, reducing drug costs, and protecting people with preexisting conditions. Joe listened to both Small Business owners and workers to create his economic plan that cuts taxes for middle class families, creates 18 million new jobs in his first term, and raises wages by as much as 15,000 a year. Joe bidens plans will help working families immediately by making the super rich finally pay their fair share. For joe, its never been about ego. Its always been about the work he can do for working families. Its what hes always done. Joe biden brings everyone to the table and gets it done. Im joe biden, and i approve this message. Keeping your oysters growing while keeping your business growing has you swamped. you need to hire i need indeed indeed you do. The moment you sponsor a job on indeed you get a shortlist of quality candidates from a resume data base so you can start hiring right away. Claim your seventyfivedollar credit when you post your first job at indeed. Com promo ainsley tonight the lights will be up, the Vice President ial debate in Salt Lake City. I think youre going to see a calm Vice President but an emotional and aggressive one defending not just this administration, but defending america. Brian President Trump declassifying the are release of information on all fbi documents. Now we know this was, again, a setup. They let this go on for four years. Steve 6 million ad blitz. Its not going to impress texans very much unless those ads actually run, and im very doubtful that they will. President trump calling on congress to send him a standalone bill for a new round of stimulus checks. Exactly the kind of bill republican senators tried to advance last month, but the democrats didnt want to pass a bill. Thats how many years fox news has been on the air, so thank you to all of you who have been loyal viewers. Brian yeah, thats pat benitar. Shes been on our show many times, and were fired up because 27 days until the election, already 4 Million People are voting. Shows theres going to be record enthusiasm perhaps. And in the back of our minds, hurricane delta rapidly intensifying to a category four storm. So there is so much going on as people in louisiana brace for the worst because theyve got to be ready for it and throughout the gulf coast. Steve and in the meantime, it is just 13 hours exactly until we get to the big debate, and ive got a prediction that this debate will be are less interruptry than the last debate we saw on the Fox News Channel. Brian im not going to challenge that. [laughter] ainsley grif Griff Jenkins is e in Salt Lake City with what we can expect to see tonight. Reporter hey, iowans ily, brian and steve. Im not going to challenge steve, but i will say theres a chance it is certainly a fiery debate despite the plexiglas and the separation, seated 12 feet apart, because the stakes, perhaps, have never been higher in a Vice President ial debate in history, and this is the only one youre going to get with 27 days to go with coronavirus certainly going to be front and center. The administrations handling of it, the president s own positive diagnosis that we spoke yesterday with the trump 2020 Communications Director tim more more murtaugh, and i asked him how are you going to deflect the criticism coming from senator harris . He says that Vice President pence will vigorously defend the president s response to the pandemic. Watch. Remember in the early going when there were these projected shortages of equipment and things like ventilators. Those shortages never occurred. The record that the president and the Vice President have in fighting the coronavirus is something that we will match up to with joe biden any day because to this day neither joe biden nor anyone on his staff can ever point to anything and say that they would do one thing differently. Reporter and speaking of being fiery, dont forget that senator harris did very well in those primary debates. She has been behind doors prepping with mayor Pete Buttigieg plague as pence playing as pence since she got here last friday. On covid we might have gotten a preview from joe biden who was on the campaign trail in gettysburg yesterday and had this to say. Its just amazing that nearly another 210,000 americans could lose their lives by the end of the year. Lets end the politics and follow the science. Wearing a mask, wearing a mask is not a political statement. Reporter of note, both harris and pence that had to provide a negative covid test for tonights debate to go forward. Back to your issueoriented debate, we may see more so than last week in cleveland. Moderator susan page is going to break the 90 minutes tonight into nine 10minute segments, so itll be interesting to see what we get. Steve hey, griff, as we look inside the debate hall, which is behind you, you can see the two desks and, apparently, the chairs are at least 12 the feet apart, thats double what the cdc has in the past recommended, but we can also just barely make out the outlines of a couple of pieces of rounded plexiglas. I thought the trump team and the pence team said we dont want to look boxed in by plexiglas, but now theres the plexiglas. What changed . Reporter well, i think, ultimately, the commission on president ial debates was the one that wanted to make sure that the plexiglas was there for the covid precautions and, obviously, the covid precautions with both the glass and the separation escalated from even what they were taking last week, that driven, obviously, in part by the president s own positive diagnose know diagnosis diagnosis. But youre right, they were negotiating, i think is the word to use, up until the last minute yesterday, both campaigns have been tightlipped on exactly what their views and positions were. But the good news is it goes forward, and historys made because we will have have never seen a president ial or Vice President ial debate of this sort. And it begs the question, ill just add, next debate if it goes forward in miami next week is a town hall format, and that will be very interesting to try and plex su city glass a situation like that. Brian exactly. If we knew six monthsing ago in february, we would have invested in Hand Sanitizer and plexiglas. It was good talking plexiglas with you, griff, but i think you can go now. [laughter] reporter thank you. Ainsley theyre not exactly boxed in now. Steve not. Ainsley its just one piece. Steve mike pence was afraid he would look like he was in one of those glass phone booths, but this, obviously, is much less intrusive. Brian nine segmentses in 10 minute, i worry thats too many segments. I think these mod are the rater moderators have to be free to say, okay, were sticking with this. We get too married to one topic, and we move on before each side gets a chance to flesh it out. The 12 feet apart, i dont think, will make a difference. I think this is one of the few, last times the trump team can reestablish momentum. They havent had it in about two weeks, obviously, because some things are out of their control. But for mike pence, who knows the coronavirus and how they handled it so well, hell be able to make it a strength because he gets to the nittygritty of what they requested and what they need. I think thats important. Also nobody does a better job defending the president , including his family, than mike pence who couldnt be more different but couldnt be more appreciative of the president s unique style. And i think its a Mutual Respect there. So i think hes going to be ready. And Kamala Harris showed one thing in the five debates that she had, that she can be beaten. Tulsi gabbard showed clearly she couldnt defend her own record. Now shes got to defend joe bidens record, and he just over the last few months steve right. Brian so shes going to have a hard time, i believe, getting traction on that. Steve right. But you know what, brian . If i think youre exactly right, we need to talk more policy, more about the record, but Kamala Harris and joe biden so far have been real squishy on answers about what they would do. Brian i know. Steve you know, would you pack the court, would you support getting rid of the filibuster. These are, obviously, things that mike pence knows he wants to get to. If the moderator doesnt ask em, hes going to bring it up. Itll be interesting to see ainsley and what about her record . If you look at her record, he needs to hit her on that and say, look, you cosponsored the green new deal, banned fracking, you praised l. A. s mayor by slashing the the lapds budget. Wants to stop construction on the border wall brian wailed out rioters bailed out rioters. Steve will susan page ask about our lead story and that is that the dni declassified the documents about how former cia director john brennan briefed president obama about Hillary Clintons Campaign Plan to intentionally stir up a scandal. Part of the coeation in the quotation back then says alleged approved by Hillary Clinton. A proposal from one of her Foreign Policy advisers to vilify donald trump by stirring up a scandal claiming interference by the Russian Security service. But as, you know, and we had wondered all along if joe biden is being briefed on that or, rather, if barack obama is being briefed on that, is joe biden sitting right there . Does he know all about it . Well, it wouldnt be a problem, joe biden could say going forward, because john brennan himself feels if thats all true, not against the law. Watch. If, in fact, what the russians were alleging, that hillary was trying to highlight the reported connections between trump and the russians, if, in fact, that was accurate and thats a big if there is nothing at all illegal about that. And so John Ratcliffe and others are trying to portray this as potentially unlawful activity that deserved followup investigation by the fbi. No. It was a campaign activity. Steve okay. That was a campaign activity, but at the same time, the Intel Community knew that Hillary Clintons campaign was trying to stir up a scandal. And they didnt say anything about it. And didnt stop it. Ainsley yeah. Its essentially saying Hillary Clinton said, hey, look, im in trouble with my emails, so what can i do to take the attention off of me. Lets start a scandal with President Trump. She just wanted a distraction steve and it worked until she lost. Ainsley well, people are still talking about it. How many millions of taxpayer dollars have vanished because weve been paying for this investigation . For four years. And don jr. Was on our show earlier. This is what he he had to say about it. All of them knew. The cia, the upper levels of the fbi, the obama administration, obama and biden himself, they all knew, and they let this go on for four years. They let it happen knowing that it was nonsense because they would hurt donald trump. Its that you were all involved, and you guys are protecting your failed, corrupted, bureaucratic institutions rather than the constitution which is the pattern that weve seen for the last four years, and it needs to stop now. Brian im just very curious who that Foreign Policy adviser stated in the memos advised clinton, because that would validate the story. People are now saying this is all russian misinformation, and if it is, it would be genius. But John Ratcliffe said, listen, to be clear, this is not russian disinformation. It has not been assessed as such by the intelligence community. Ill be Briefing Congress on the sensitive sources and methods in the coming days, and he went on to say if it was russian disinformation, you dont verbally brief the president of the United States. It just doesnt rise to that level. You dont say ive got some russian disinformation, youve got two months. Thats not the way it works. Maybe on the west wing, which was a tv series that had a lot of success. Steve maybe. Brian meanwhile, jillian had a lot of success. Reporter good morning, you guys. Hurricane delta makes landfall near cancun as a category two storm. [background sounds] reporter strong winds and hey rain battering the resort towns overnight.

You also will be able to postmark a registration today. That will be accepted. Ainsley floridas governor, ron desantis, extending his states Voter Registration deadline of after an unprecedented surge in traffic caused the states online portal to crash just hours before the original deadline. Here with more is floridas Lieutenant Governor jeanette nunez. Good morning to you. Can you hear me . I hear you just fine. Ainsley we couldnt hear you at first. Great. Tell us, whats your message to the florida voters . I know people were up in arms about this. Certainly. What Governor Desantis said yesterday, obviously, we addressed the situation. There was an inordinate amount of traffic to the web site, over a million hits to that web site per hour, something that is extraordinarily unusual. But we wanted to make sure that, obviously, that deadline which was midnight on monday was extended to give people an opportunity, those that wanted to register and were trying to comply with that deadline, which is i why we extended it from noon to seven and also allowed for postmarking as well. We feel we sufficiently addressed those challenges with that web site monday by allowing that additional extension on tuesday. Ainsley why do you think the numbers were so high . Is it because so many people from new york and other areas are moving to the area and trying to register . That certainly could be a part of it. We know theres been an intense effort, obviously, to rebelling thester voters on both sides register voters on both sides. We dont have any reason to believe there was anything nefarious going on, but there is an investigation ongoing just to be certain. We understand that there was frustration on certain voters parts, but we also, we did everything we could to remedy it, and we feel that right now theres a good system, we have that all under control, were working diligently to insure that theres no challenges, no cyber challenges or any other challenges with the integrity of our election come november 3rd. Ainsley what are the experts doing to make sure this wasnt deliberate . Certainly weve consulted and working with the fbi and cybersecurity and infrastructure security agencies to look at what were the ip addresses, was there anything that we would infer something nefarious, like i said before. But were in the middle of that investigation, so were hopeful that that reveals no negative aspects. But were working closely and diligently to insure coming november 3rd theres no challenges. Ainsley Lieutenant Governor, thank you so much for being on with us. Thank you. Iowans auction youre welcome. The economy is still the number one issue for voters, so what are the candidates best arguments to deliver tonight and next week . A former obama economic adviser and a member of the White House Economic Recovery Task force is here next. History also destroyed the lives of thousands of jewish survivors god calls on people who believe in him to act on his word. Comfort ye, comfort my people. When i come here and i sit with lilia i realize what she needs right now is food. These elderly jews are weak and theyre sick. Theyre living on 2 a day which is impossible. This now, is how gods children are living. Take this time to send a survival food box to these forgotten jews.

When you call right now, your gifts impact will be doubled to help save lives. No vitamins and no protein so my legs and hands are very weak. Oh, oh, oh lets make sure that we bring them just a little bit of hope. By bringing them a little bit of food. For just 25, you can help supply the essential foods they desperately need for one month. When you call right now, your gifts impact will be doubled to help save lives. I just want to encourage all of you to join with Yael Eckstein and the wonderful work of the International Fellowship of christians and jews. God tells us to take care of them, to feed the hungry. And i pray Holocaust Survivors will be given the basic needs that they so desperately pray for to survive. Steve 27 days until election day. The i economy is expected to be a hot button issue discussed tonight, and with nearly 9 in 10 voters saying the economy is either extremely or very important to their vote, how can we expect candidates to drive home that message . Here to discuss, former obama economic adviser robert wolf, appropriately screen left, and member of the trump White House Economic Recovery Task force, steve moore, screen right. Morning to both of you. Morning. Steve listen, robert, behind you is a couch. Yesterday when you were on fox business, the guy from ghostbusters was there. We got a clip. Heres bill murray. Bill wanted to say hello. Nothing like it. Hi, bill. Good to see you. Welcome to fox business. You should moderate the next president ial debate. A couple cups of coffee, i think i could do it. [laughter] you know what, steve . In this difficult, polarizing environment, we always could use a good laugh. And by the way, whos better to make everyone smile than bill murray . Lets be honest, this has been like groundhog day for all of us. [laughter] steve and he said he would moderate the next debate after a couple of cups of coffee. Robert, youre burying the lead. Why was he on your couch . Did he spend the night . No, we were playing some golf, and he came back, and to be honest with you, i forgot i had an interview, so i was scrambling. Put it this way, liz was a gem for me to have steve all right. Well, a great viral moment. All right. Lets talk about tonight. Stephen, lets start with you. I dont see anybody in the trees behind you of note. What, you know, the number one issue is the economy. So how is mike pence going to drive that home tonight . By the way, i grew up just 2 mile away from bill murray, and caddieshack was based on caddyshack was based on the club. By the way, roberts out there playing golf, im trying to fix the economy, robert. [laughter] look, i think we do want, on the trump team, we definitely want the number one issue for voters to be their pocketbooks and their finances, and trump has a very powerful case to make. Not only did we, in the first three years of the trump administration, building the most powerful economy in the history of the country, but weve seen over the last six months, steve, just an incredible rebound. This economy right now is a rocket ship. The latest estimate is for the Third Quarter which just ended on september 30th, a few days ago, that the economy grew by 33 . Steve wow. I mean, thats never weve never seen anything like that before, 11 million jobs in just the last five months. I think trump and pence want to make that the key issue, who do you trust more on the economy. The polls also show even people who arent going to vote for trump agree hes better on the economy than biden. Steve robert . So a lot of things there. One, i would say incredibly what happened in one week, we actually had more people file for jobless claims, 850,000, than jobs created the entire month of september. I mean, that is no super vshaped recovery. Number two, when we look at the two plans, both involve moodys analytics which is nonpartisan and the Wharton School which id like to say trump and i both went to but trump, excuse me, is not part of it. Both said, the biden plan is better for jobs, better for wages and better for growth. So forget my view or steves view, lets go to someone thats not partisan. To me, i think this its going e very clear that bidens build back better plan focusing on infrastructure, manufacturing is the better way to go. Steve good luck finding anybody on the planet who actually is not partisan, especially this year. [laughter] stephen, let me ask you about this, yesterday late in the day just before wall street closed the president tanked the market by announcing that hes done negotiating with nancy pelosi. Theyre too far apart. I he would like 1200 checks go out to everybody and to rescue the Airline Industry, but nonetheless he said im done for now until after the election. Yeah. This is a tragic situation. I mean, trump basically wants to do the 1200 payments, he wants to extend the Unemployment Benefits at 300 or 400 a week for another several months, they want to provide some aid to the hospitals and to the schools, and pelosi basically just hijacked the process. She would not say yes to a deal unless there was 400 billion, steve, not 400 million, 400 billion for blue states that have wrecked their economies like new york and new jersey if california, my home state of illinois. And people, i mean, look, people in red states like texas and tennessee and georgia and utah are saying why in the world should we have to pay more taxes to bail out the bad decisions that cuomo made and murphy made and j. B. Pritzker made . It just isnt fair, and i think trump did the right thing by saying we are not going to bail out these blue states that acted so irresponsibly. Steve final word, robert. If i am a gop senator this morning, im not a happy camper. And all i would say, were not bailing out any states, were doing it for health care, for police, for fire, for teachers. This is for all 50 states need help. This isnt one versus the other, come on, steve robert [inaudible] affected in florida. Robert, there are 20 republican states that have already balanced their budgets. They dont even need the money. The money has to go to the bankrupt states, and those are the blue states. By the way, if the blue states cant manage their states, how is joe biden going to manage the u. S. Economy . Steve guys, we have to end it there because robert has a tee time at 9 00, so good luck. [laughter] whos going to be on his couch next time . Who knows. Stephen moore, robert wolf, thank you. Coming up next, chief of staff mark meadows joins us live.

You know, his heart continues to go out to the millions of americans who have struggled with this virus. Having not only gotten it, but having gotten treatment from the great folks at walter reed, i continue to test negative, but at the same time we know this virus will, has a way of to have reaching out and getting people when they least expect it. So the president is, has already been on the phone this morning talking to secretary mnuchin. The secretary and i have been talking about what we could do with standalone bills to help airlines, Small Businesses and and the American People with stimulus checks. So, hopefully, webbing convince Speaker Pelosi we can convince Speaker Pelosi to do something on a standalone basis. Steve nancy pelosi was apparently on a phone call yesterday, and theres a quote from Bloomberg News that says pelosi earlier told House Democrats on a Conference Call that trumpsnking might be affected by the steroids hes taken to treat his Coronavirus Infection according to a lawmaker on the call. So, mark, nancy pelosi is suggesting that the president is making some crazy decisions. Hes, its like roid rage. Well, Speaker Pelosi continues to throw out all kinds of reasons for the failure on the negotiation other than looking in the mirror, because we know that consistently shes been at the 2. 22. 4 trillion depending on what day you talk to her. Shes failed to budge. Shes not negotiating in good faith, and a number of us yesterday were on a call with the president as we looked at the progress that had been made or, i might say, that had not been made, and the president felt like it was better to be transparent with the American People and the prognosis of whether we would be able to get it. Hes still fully engaged. I will say this, secretary mnuchin and the president have offered 1. 6 trillion, willing to look at, they were willing to look at a little bit more than that because they had given money for schools. They had given money for Small Businesses, money for childcare, money really for the air alines and a number of airlines and a number of the other places that are hurting right now. And she continues to say that its not enough. So shed rather spend zero than 1. 6 trillion, and i dont know that the American People will accept that. Ainsley i know that Stephen Miller tested positive, hes a speech writer and one of trumps senior advisers. What precautions is the white house putting in place now . Yeah. Weve actually had a number of precautions in place. Obviously, with Stephen Miller, we knew that he had a potential exposure. Hes actually been working from home since that, that time. We have actually been testing him each and every day to make sure that when he turned positive, we would know that just because he had very close contact with hope hicks. And so as the news came out yesterday, we kind of had anticipated that. The Contact Tracing for him was really zero because he hadnt been in contact with anybody in the west wing. Weve actually also done some additional protocols in materials of cordoning off different working groups to try to not to only stop it, but also understand how we can put in additional protocols to make sure people are safe. Brian mark, as you know, when you come out of Business Hours with the tweet that the president came out with, it tanked the market. And this an hour before the fed chair Jerome Powell says, he warned failing to inject more federal help into the economy would risk weakening the tenuous recovery. Our country needs stimulus checks. Having said that, hes not saying republicans or democrats. Its to the president s advantage and the countrys need to get something in there. Why cant you work something out being that Steve Mnuchin had two long meetings yesterday . Did he come back, throw up his hands and ask the president , do we me a favor, tweet . Could you bring us inside that process . I think i was sharing that we actually had a phone call in. We continue to have conversations that dont lead anywhere, brian, and when you do that, we were on with leader mccarthy, leader mcconnell, the president , myself. And as we were talking about the progress there, the numbers they were talking about are just incredibly high in terms of bailouts for states, bluerun states. The numbers theyre suggesting are much higher than what the will and the need is. Additionally are, when we look at this was a bipartisan proposal put out by the process offers. Almost at every turn the proposal that the president put forth was actually better than that proposal. You know, there comes a point where you understand that the other side is just playing politics. The real thing is Speaker Pelosi didnt want those checks to go out to the American People before november 3rd. She felt like it would help the president , and so shes been negotiating in that manner. And so, you know, were still willing to be engaged, but im not optimistic for a comprehensive deal. I am optimistic that theres about ten things that we can to on a piecemeal basis if the speak e orer willing to put it before her members. Steve one of the other tweets from the president , i think it was in the 6 or 7 00 hour, mr. Meadows, was the president announced that the declassified documents from mr. Brennan, formerly at the cia, and others had been released last night. And essentially what it looks like, the note from cia director brennan looks like Hillary Clinton and their campaign ordered a Campaign Plan to stir up a scandal by linking trump to russia in 2016 to deflect from her private email server that the, you know, everybody was a afraid was not secure enough. This goes back to your days in congress. Nobody knows more about this than you. This is not surprising. Well, its not surprising to me, but it is surprising to the American People. When you see brennans notes, and one of the things he puts in there is to vilify donald trump. I mean, when you look at a coordinated effort and now you see it in his own handwriting, why is this just now coming out to the American People . Why after 45 million did mueller not put any of this in his report to say there could have been a different narrative . There are more documents to come. The president wants transparency on all of this anding hopefully, well see documents brian what did dan coats do for two or three years . Obviously, dan coats did not allow these documents to come out. I want to applaud director ratcliffe and his willingness and director grenell before him in terms of trying to make sure that the American People understand the truth. The president s been saying it from day one, now all of a sudden we have the documents to support him. Ainsley the only problem is the other networks are not covering it, nbc, abc, cbs didnt cover it on their nightly well, thats not a surprise. Iowans it is such a big story the American Public needs to know though. It is. Ainsley thank you so much for joining us. Thank you. Ainsley janice is tracking hurricane delta. Looks like a big one, janice. Reporter yep, made landfall this morning, the yucatan peninsula, and is expected to make to the gulf of mexico tonight, expecting a major hurricane tonight again and then making landfall, we think, across central louisiana, the same area that was hit hard a by laura just, you know, weeks ago. So this is going to be a really devastating situation for the coast of louisiana again. Theres the latest track. Were expecting it to strengthen to even a category four again and then a major hurricane making landfall, a lot of Oil Platforms out here, so people, if youre urged to evacuate, you need to listen to your local officials. And there are your tropical molds, all in pretty good agreement its going to make landfall across louisiana, but the effects are going to be widespread. Hurricane force wind, storm surge and heavy rainfall in many of the areas hit, again, by several systems coming very close to where laura hit just weeks ago as a major hurricane right now. Steve, ainsley, brian, well keep you uptodate. Ainsley thanks so much, janice. Coming up, a show of support for Law Enforcement in new york. Thousands turning out for a back the blue rally.

There is no excuse for why we dont have this under control at this point. Joe biden listens to medical experts. He actually has a plan that does the things that we should have been doing many months ago. And joe biden is not going to let his ego get in the way of fighting the disease. Ff pac is responsible for the content of this ad. So youre a small bor a big one. You were thriving, but then. Oh. Ah. Okay. Plan, pivot. How do you bounce back .

And even if the power goes down, your connection doesnt. So how do i do this . You dont do this. We do this, together. Bounce forward, with comcast business. Ainsley good morning. We are back with a fox news alert. Breaking just moments ago, two suspected isis terrorists accused of killing americans are set to be charged in the u. S. The doj will make the announcement today. Theyre expected to make their First Court Appearance in virginia this afternoon, part of a group dubbed the beatles because of their british origin. They killed Kayla Mueller and james foley hostage before killing them. Golfer john daly makes an incredible hole in one at a charity tournament. Check it out. Oh, boy, here we go. He golfs, apparently. Oh [laughter] daly getting a hole in one while barefoot in virginia. The tournament honors fallen navy seals and raises money for their families. That was a good shot. Brian pretty good shot and a very relaxed dress code. A show of support for Law Enforcement as thousands gather to back the blue in new york city. Police officers and their supporters came together over the weekend to show their appreciation and address recent protests against the city, against police in particular. Pba president dealamo helped to organize the demonstration, and it might have been the largest in the country. What was the reason that you had to do this over the weekend . Well, brian, thank you for having me on right now. We have seen such an antiLaw Enforcement sentiment throughout this country and in our state, and something needed to be done, and it needs to end. And we are so grateful to see the outpouring of support from the public. We had nearly 4,000 people show up to show support for the men and women of Law Enforcement every day. And it really, its so disheartening to see whats happening in our state and on a National Level where you have elected officials who try to use police as the scapegoat for their failed policies. And it needs to end. Its enough already. Brian people think its just the problem and the disrespect towards Police Officers is just the city. Youre in a suburban area, suffolk county, new york, and youre being told to put together a commission to reimagine policing, right . Actually, its absurd. The things that theyre asking us to reimagine and reinvent, we already do 90 of it. Again, they didnt even do a full vetting of what it is that they want to try and attempt to have accomplished. Suffolk countys a model for Community Relations and outreach. The concepts of citizen academies, community meetings, the coffee with a cop, weve been doing all of that for years, and they dont even recognize when they thrust this edict upon us. Brian why so many Police Officer unions endorsing President Trump for the first time, a republican . Its clear he is the only official right now, other than lee zeldin, our congressman, to say i support Law Enforcement. Theyre the ones who keep civility instead of anarchy. Brian very interesting. Yesterday you said the turnout and the message there was we are heartened by the turn that the people did have your back, the people of suffolk county. This wasnt just cops . Absolutely, no. A majority was the public, it was civilians coming, and the message was clear. They care about the 215 Police Officers who were killedded in the line of duty already this year. Theres no outrage about that from our elected officials. There are no names on helmets with jerseys or murals being with painted on fifth avenue for Police Officers who are being slaughtered every single day. Neil thanks so much. Coffee with a cop day, if you see a Police Officer, get him or her a cup of coffee and talk, because thats what theyre there for, most of them are fantastic people. They dont do it for the money, to get rich. Thanks so much. Thank you for having me. Brian coming up, more fox friends. Ok, just keep coloring there. And sweetie can you just be.
