Theres going to be a fighting mood out there as it becomes clear that, you know, ms. Barrett means the end of roe v wade as well as the end of the Affordable Care act. How cool is it to get a working mom on the Supreme Court. And by the way, a working mom of seven kids. You know, i mean, this woman is going to be something to reckon with. Democrats, the media, the mob, theyre beginning to try and paint this woman as a monster. Buckle up. Theyre attacking her faith and god, her catholic faith,ville, y aspect about her life. Howie this followed days of media attacks against the president and Mitch Mcconnell once news broke they had enough republican votes to confirm a replacement of for Ruth Bader Ginsburg. A number say their party should get even if joe biden wins by packing the court with extra seats. Why wouldnt they . If theyre in control, why wouldnt they . Because theyre weak. And theyre wimps. And theyre afraid. Theyre so obsessed with beating trump and his voters that theyre willing to destroy our entire system of checks and balances to do so. Maria joining us now to analyze the coverage, mollie hemingway, Senior Editor at the federalist and fox news contributor. In new york, jedediah bila, the cohost of fox friends weekend. In logs angeles, Leslie Marshall, radio talk show host and fox news contributor. Mollie, the media you attacks on Amy Coney Barrett began days before she was named. Ill get to newsweek in a moment. Some of this echos democratic attacks on her criticism of her at her confirmation hearings three years ago. Do you believe some of these attacks amount to anticatholic bigotry . Yeah, the media have not done a great job of covering Amy Coney Barrett for several years. The real issue is that the Supreme Court is contentious because in recent decades it has kind of add b abdi abdicated it. President trump promised to appoint judge thats would determine the constitution as written. Hes had a successful first term, one of the most successful aspects is how he nominated judges in that mold that a amy could an Comey Barrett is in. Really, whats at issue is that the media who have become increasingly partisan, have a different idea about how the court should be. They want it to be that legislature that sets policy even as Many Americans think that has been damaging to the country. Theyll use what they can, whether thats her faith or of other aspects, like they did with brett kavanaugh. Howie jedediah, newsweek had to run a correction for reporting that a charismatic Christian Group that barrett belongs to was the model for an apoapocknovel. People picked up on that and tweeted it out. When you run the corrections, what the problem is, a lot of people read the original story and dont see the correction. So the plan here of course, by some on the left is to paint her as a radical, to say that she would adhere to her faith in a way that would be bizarre or odd. The thing is, and she pointed it out very well, shes not a policy maker. Her individual views, her religion, should not be weighing and the reason that they weigh in for the left is because the left use everything through the lens of activeism. They think, well, if shes put in this position, suddenly her personal views are going to inform her decisions on the court. That is not the case. That should not be the case, i should say. And for her, and based on the statements shes made thus far, that would not be the case. So its just i think youre seeing emerge two very different visions as to what the court should look like in terms of activeism versus originalism. Howie on that point, leslie, law professor jonathan tourly wrote that Ruth Bader Ginsburg was a proud jew, yo attended conferences on jewish law. Nobody you accused her of letting her faith dictate her decisions. That seems to be a double standard for Amy Coney Barrett. This country was founded on religious freedom. The people who came here from plymouth, massachusetts were fleeing religious prosecution and attacks. Thats wrong, no matter what. However, if this was reversed, if you had a democratic president and they were putting forth somebody who was so outspoken and so proabortion and so liberal and progressive on this matter, there would be the same attacks, not on religion, but certainly the same attacks on views. You have to remember that judge barrett, prior to being a judge, when she was a teacher, she put herself out there again and again and again, talking about her views on abortion. She went further in saying that as a catholic, a judge should recuse themselves on issues that conflict with their moral beliefs. Such as, Capital Punishment or abortion. Thats concerning for many, and not just on the left, that a judge would say, look, if theres an issue like that ive got to recuse myself especially if shes on a court that by the way will have a sixthree conservative majority which where i sit is a packed court. Howie okay. But on this question of court packing, mollie, youve had a number of liberal pundits as well as democratic lawmakers saying were going to get even next year if the democrats take over, were going to add extra court seats. What would the mainstream reaction be if republicans talked about packing the court . Ruth Bader Ginsburg had been a liberal activeist, including on issues of abortion. She was confirmed Something Like 973. We have a comparison of what would happen if it were the opposite. Its not at all what were about to go through. Its true youve had people on the left threatening that if the court doesnt rule the way it wants or if the constitutional process to confirm Amy Coney Barrett is followed, they will retaliate by packing the court or doing other things like that. This is something that we saw from Franklin Delano roosevelt when he didnt like when the court overturned some of his policy agenda. Its something that theres no set number of how many justices there have to be on the court. But when its deployed as a threat or retaliation, i think that does make people wonder just how many norms the left is willing to violate in search of raw power. Howie right. Its not unconstitutional, the number has varied over the years. Its a extreme position as fdr found out. A vanity fair writer tweeted how can barrett be a Supreme Court justice and a loving present mom to seven kids and likeening the family to the kardashians. I ask you as a new mother. What . I mean, its crazy. Id like to know how many men were asked that question, first off, and i would also like to ask anyone tweeting out things like that i saw several, actually if they would define themselves as feminist . How can you be a feminist and come out and say she cant manage to be a great mom and be a high powered judge. This is a very accomplished woman. And if people cant wrap their heads around that im a working home. I working mom. I have a 10monthold. Im talking to you guys. This is a woman who should be an example to young women everywhere, she shows you can have it all. She has a beautiful family. She has stood on principle for many years. She is someone who has a strong record that has been supported from bipartisan people, democrats and republicans alike have come out and said this is someone who really stands by the constitution, above and beyond all else. This is someone who should be celebrated. Shes accomplished. And listen, she will have her day to defend herself. She will be asked questions. There is no guarantee that she will be confirmed. If the senators dont like what she has to say, they have the option to vote no. Were talking about respecting the process. The president nominated someone who is accomplished. The senate will vote. The process will be respected. Any effort to circumvent that process shows you dont know and havent processed that elections have consequences and you have no appreciation for the fact that these things have a process. Howie okay. You know, Antonin Scalia had nine children, i dont recall him being asked about how he can simultaneously be a Supreme Court justice. I think she will be confirmed. Because republicans have the votes, like they have the votes to push ahead. We get into the question about what happened in 2016 versus now, why so little Media Attention to joe biden, also changing his position. Four years ago he demanded a vote for Barack Obamas nominee and now he says lets hold off on voting, the next president , whoever wins the election should decide and yet that gets very little Media Attention. The fact that were talking about it, i dont agree. I certainly saw it throughout the media. I think one of the reasons it gets little attention is joe bidens not in the senate and not voting, wasnt then, isnt now. To jedediahs point, if you have to follow the process, well, in 2016 they didnt follow the process. Senator Mitch Mcconnells process as he said was to block everything that barack obama was going to put forth and try and do and obviously that included trying to get Merrick Garland on the court. With regard to packing the court, honestly, im a liberal, im a democrat but i would like a fair court. Liberals and conservatives. And sixthree is not. I wouldnt want sixthree liberal either. Adding a couple seats to make it sixfive, that might be good. Its within the confines of the constitution. I agree 100 , the senate is going to confirm her because its a majority republican and they said they were going to confirm her before we knew who she was and, lastly, as a feminist with two children and a puppy sleeping upstairs, im working like you are, jedediah. Im with you on that. And i do think its wonderful as a woman who has adopted one of my children that she has seven children, two of which she adopted from haiti, and who are children of color, having interracial family, i respect and like that a lot. Howie very glad to hear you say that. Now, mollie, new polls out today, New York Times, washington post, 56 or 57 of people questioned say that whoever wins the election should fill the seat. But obviously a lot of charges thrown by the media at Mitch Mcconnell because of what he did to Merrick Garland and now hes pushing this thing two weeks before the election. Do you think the media have declared war on senator mcconnell. Yeah. One thing thats important to clarify, the 2016 was not to confirm someone in an election year, its you generally dont see confirmations where the senate is controlled by a Different Party than the presidency. That doesnt actually apply in 2020 because both the senate and the presidency are controlled by republicans. So it is a distinction that the media did a very bad job of explaining. I do think that one of the downsides of what the media did two years ago with kavanaugh is nobody trusts them to cover it accurately, fairly or remotely decently. Howie certainly hearing you covered intensively and wrote a book. An npr analyst has been all over tv touting her long friendship with Ruth Bader Ginsburg who married her and saying that helped her reporting but the public editor says the failure to fully disclose that friendship raises serious questions of journalistic independence. And i would agree. Cory lewandowski coming up on the program. When we come back, President Trump taking lots of media heat for what he wouldnt say about a peaceful transfer of power. Hi. Uh, can you tell me how to get to i70, please . Ookay, are you ah, yes. Thank you. Switch to progressive and you can save hundreds. You know, like the sign says. Howie the latest media outrage started with an atlantic piece by bart gelman, charging that President Trump is actively plotting ways to keep himself in power after a disputed election. And the president fueled the controversy with these comments. Will you commit to making sure there is a peaceful transfer of power after the election . Were going to have to see what happens. You know that. Ive been complaining very strongly about the ballots and the ballots are a disaster. Get rid of the ballots and youll hav well have a peacl there wont be a transfer, there will be a continuation. What the president is doing is the most explicit hes been about his plans, hes plotting, open, repeatedly, a coup to steal the election and hold onto power. Hes telling us that hes going to have to try to overturn the results of this democratic election. Because he knows hes going to lose. The president s skeptics, hugo, are going nuts over that response. Dont forget that its the democrats that never accepted donald trump and never accepted the legitimacy of his presidency. I dont think anyone in this country should seriously take the idea that were not going to have a peaceful transfer of power. Howie jedediah, this is a hair on fire moment for the media. You heard talk of a coup. The president more than one day refusing to give the answer the mead ya wanted to give. Is this the crisis or potential crisis being portrayed by the press . Listen, i dont think that the president s going to handcuff himself to the banister in the white house and not leave. I dont think its going to play out that way. But he shouldnt answer this question that way. Because in your introduction, howie, you said he fueled the story. He really does on this issue. I dont know why that is. When youre asked if theres going to be a peaceful transfer of power, if you are to lose an election, you just say yes and then you move on. Yes, of course. Next. Now, we can talk about all day whether joe biden would be asked the same question. We can talk about the media creating a hair on fire moment. Those are all valid points. When it comes down to it, he has the opportunity to shut this down in two seconds, to make it look like a petty question, to answer it very simply and move on. This is not the first time hes answered the question this way. So im hoping someone who is as advising him says listen, this story does not help you. It only enables joe biden to say you know what, im going to put a lid on everything at 8 30 in the morning the next day because this story only hurts the president so he should stop answerstopping stop answering that way. Howie the president is a very smart guy when it comes to media. He knows the pundits will go haywire when he says these things. Is he doing it to get out his message that in his view you there will be massive fraud for mail ballots. Is he really trolling the press here . The problem with the what i he answered is not what he said that got everybody angry, its that he didnt clarify exactly what his concerns are about moving to universal mailin balloting. The question was literally whether he would peacefully transfer power to joe biden regardless of whether he won or lost. It was a ridiculous question. His answer, which as jedediah notes, is his standard answer when asked if he will accept Election Results before an election has happened, was generous, given the i idiocy of the question. We are approaching a four Year Anniversary of an ongoing refusal that donald trump was a legitimate winner in 2016. We have an example of how he handled losses in 2018. He handled them appropriately. The left is advocating for coup like behavior in the possible event that donald trump wins reelection. So its not just that they themselves are talking about ways to gain power should they lose the election, theyve been doing it for four years and theyre accusing their opponents of doing that which they have done. Howie the New York Times has a story saying pentagon leaders are discussing how you to avoid having the military drawn into post election chaos, raising the possibility of the president invoking the insurrection act, sending troops into the streets. That seems like a speculative story. So if this happens, if this happens, what might the president or the pentagon do. I think thats our world right now, sadly, howie and the internet feeds into that. We speculate about everything. I mean, mollie was talking about the question posed to the president. There are people on my side of the aisle speculating the president wont leave. When he answers the way he did, it fuels the flames if you will and i think that taunting goes back and forth. Look, there have been people that talked about the insurrection act, people on the left and the right that have talked about cities burning if their candidate doesnt win. Sadly, weve become such a divided nation, even more so, and i think because many of us are stuck at home and some people are angry that they have to social distance and wear a mask when we have a pandemic like this, high unemployment, and tempers flare, sadly we have to prepare for the worst and hope for the best. But to use our military when we have situations throughout the world, afghanistan is just one of many examples, thats too much on their plate and thats why those in the pentagon, top leaders have said they would step down if that becomes the case because they have to do what they have to do as the military and policing the American People after an election should not be one of those things. Howie you know, this 10,000 word cover story in the la atlac was pushed up by publishing online. The article says the president is working with Republican Leaders in certain states to try to get his electors in. Some people thought it was crazy. Some people thought it was great discussion. Thanks so much. Jedediah bila, for staying late with us. Mollie hemingway, Leslie Marshall. Up next, Harris Faulkner joins us two days before the first president ial debate moderated by Chris Wallace to look at the medias pregame chatter. Its about the humans. These humans, those humans. Groovin, and golden. Its about getting more than Health Insurance and a partner who listens and acts. Humana calls it human care. Its talking to a doctor from your couch, or helping you find a cheaper prescription before you ask. Its helping you fix the rugs so you dont fall, and keeping you social, online or off. Its getting to know you, so you can be your healthiest. Thats our superpower. Thats human care. From humana. Howie we are two days away from the first president ial debate in cleveland moderated by Chris Wallace and the media handicapping includes the president working the ref on the radio with foxs brian kilmeade. Chris is good. But i think i would be willing to bet that he wont ask biden tough questions. Hell ask me tough questions and it will show, it will be unfair. I have no doubt about it. But hell be controlled by the radical left. Howie joining us now from new york, Harris Faulkner, the host of outnumbered overtime who will examine the debate. Let me first say, ive watched Chris Wallace for decades ask tough questions of republicans and democrats and hes nobodys captive. With the pro president calling e biden dumb, describing him as confused and not always the most coherent, are they setting a low bar for biden at this debate . Look, i do think that they needed to do some bar resetting, right . Republicans had all talked about hell be good to be able to get through this, the president said if he has had good performances in the past, he must have been on drugs. Theres calls this morning that he might be calling for a post debate drug test and that he would be willing to take that, the president himself. The risk of pitching too high or too low with joe biden is hes had decades of experience with this and we dont know which joe biden well see because he hasnt sat down for interviews with people like me, you, not even Chris Wallace. But what we do know is hes done this a lot, debating. Chances are, the head of communications said just this week, a raising bar experience if you will for President Trump, be careful what you wish for. Hes probably going to bring his a game but hes resetting. Really, if you dont talk at all about it and you show up with your game, thats probably the best bet. But campaigns really rarely do that. And the media certainly cant help themselves. Howie biden had 11 democratic debates this year. He was uneven. But we will see. And that leads me to my next question. You were right, the president tweeting this morning, ill be strongly demanding a drug test of sleepy joe biden. Lots of americans are going to watch this debate. How much will the post game media spin matter, oh, he was great, he was terrible kind of thing, when people can see it with their own eyes . I you put this in a category where exit polling seems like such a great idea, well, its not because its not always accurate. I think people want to see these two men unfiltered on their own. We havent seen a lot of joe biden for all the reasons i mentioned, lack of access from the media, a few interviews but not a lot. Hes not doing rallies. Covid respect, totally get all that. Are there other ways he could be thinking of getting out there. He goes days without doing anything. When you mix all that in, what voters are telling me, ive been interviewing voters for my show, getting ready for the 30day runup were inching down to, they are telling me they want to watch and theyre not listening for policy or the breakdown of how they did on policy after, they want to see how a leader acts in realtime. I dont think you can spin room that. Like thats what theyre feeling. Howie let me jump in. I want to get you in on our top story, the coverage of Amy Coney Barrett, we were talking about criticism or questions about she having seven kids. Your thoughts . Where are the women in the media with the backbone . This woman is being gone after for being a mom, mom shame. This woman is being gone after about her faith. This woman is being gone for because she needed a little help with the seven children, who on whoof are adopted two of whom are adopted from haiti. As you heard Leslie Marshall say on your program a few minutes ago, thats a big deal. We dont do that. Some of her fellow democrats are going for it. Joe biden and a few of those dems are saying you better stick to the issues, dont make it personal. This could backfire on democrats, particularly among older black voters, the church goers, the once that representative James Clyburn was talking to when he shored up the vote for joe biden, to get him going in the primary season. Youve got to be careful with them. Because they live in the church. Howie always good advice. You dont shame a woman who is raising kids and working. Howie i couldnt agree more. Thanks so much for joining us. Thank you. Howie next up, cory lewandowski, the former Trump Campaign manager, on coverage of the president s Supreme Court pick, his comments on the disputed election and much more. Stay with us. Howie well, its been a while since theyve been on the program but joining us now is cory lewandowski, Senior Advisor to the Trump Campaign and coyou author with dave bossy of a new book, trump, america first, the president succeeds against all odds. Now that President Trump has named Amy Coney Barrett, you were there at the white house ceremony yesterday, how do you see the media treating her . Well, look, howie, were already seeing the double standard. She is being criticized for being the first Supreme Court nominee who has schoolaged children and theyre using that against her. Why wouldnt the media come out and say this should be commended. This is what we want. We have a woman who may be one of the greatest legal minds of her generation. She obviously has a difficult work family balance. This should be praised, a woman of this mag any thewe magnituden children who has the opportunity to sit on the high court. We should see more women supporting her. Howie nobody is disputing her brain power, including some democrats. The republicans have the votes. Judge barrett is going to be confirmed. Will you acknowledge that this is basically raw politics pushed by Mitch Mcconnell in the senate who wouldnt give Merrick Garland the vote with nine months to go and who will push through this election two weeks before the election. Lbj doesnt hold a candle to Mitch Mcconnell. When you and i were reading a, b, cs and dr. Seuss, he was reading the senate rules. He is a master on how to get things done. Its not unprecedented to move a justice through this quickly. We saw it with Ruth Bader Ginsburg. I believe its the object of gas station of United States senators to work up until election day and not take a pass on tough votes. Howie the president as you know caused a continuing Media Firestorm with his well have to see what happens answer a couple times on the question of a peaceful transfer of power. Over the weekend joe biden was interviewed by msnbcs stephanie rule. Doesnt that put our democracy at risk . I dont think hes going to get the fbi to follow him, to have anybody enforce something thats not real. The last thing we need is the equivalent of a coup. This is not who we are. Howie what do you make of the msnbc question, isnt that putting our democracy at risk and what do you make of bidens answer, invoking the prospect of a coup . Its you amazing that joe biden talks about a coup. Its exactly what his administration with obama tried to do with this president. Joe biden admitted that in january, after the president was the president elect, they opened up an investigation into him. They spied on the Trump Campaign and the trump family, they unmasked individuals, they went after Michael Flynn and so many others, with the acknowledged or at least the consent, either the consent or the knowledge of barack obama and joe biden, so its interesting how we talked about this smooth transition of power should donald trump lose, which i dont think he will. But it was the Obama Biden Administration that did not have a peaceful transition of power. Thats the most incredible hypocrisy of the whole thing. Howie any thoughts on how the question was framed 1234. Its such a loaded question. The president is not doing sunday shows. He sends his wife out. He is not capable to answer tough questions. He refuses to come on your network to answer any other questions. He goes to the Friendly Networks to ask loaded questions. Howie when you say that kind of thing, we talked about this earlier, he has a big debate coming up in two days, arent you and all the people in trump world setting a low bar for joe biden who may come out and have a good performance, people are not expecting that now. I think yo joe biden will he a good performance. Hes been preparing for 30 years. Hes run three times for this. This is the first opportunity to debate one on one with the republican nominee. Hes going to be ready. Hes been doing this for 47 years. Donald trump has been doing this for 47 months. Joe bidens going to have to answer why his record has been so poor. Look, joe biden said i think yesterday or the day before, you get elected to the senate 180 years ago. We are ready for the gaffes hes going to present. Kid you not, joe biden is going to be prepared when he walks on the debate stage. Howie all right. In your book, you describe how john kelly threw you up against the wall in the white house, ripping the buttons off your jacket. Thats what i call a vigorous exchange of views. You report telling top Campaign Officials that they were behind and they werent ready for the midterms and impeachment would follow. Those things did happen. Isnt the Campaign Today trailing, the latest polls have the president behind 8 to 10 of points. John kelly in my opinion decided to serve himself and not the American People. He thought he was the elected president of the United States and refused to do the things the president asked. It wasnt a sad day for me when john kelly left the white house. Moving on from that, the campaign, where we stand today, we knocked on 10 of mill 10 million doors, almost weekly. Joe biden hasnt knocked on one. Our surrogates are in these places every day. Im going to be with the president wednesday in minnesota. Im going to be with him on saturday in wisconsin, friday in florida. This president is working to remind the American People of promises he made and kept. Joe biden continues to run the Hillary Clinton campaign, to hide in the basement and look for a good debate. I like our odds with donald trump. Hes going to win. Howie you obviously managed a Successful Campaign in 2016. I got like one sentence. Do you think right now the president s the underdog . I think he is the underdog because hes the outsider and hes still going to win. Howie all right. Cory lewandowski, good to see you again. Thanks very much for joining us. Thanks, howie. Howie after the break, a different point of view, former pennsylvania governor ed rendell is up next. Smooth driving pays off with allstate the safer you drive the more you save youve never been in better hands allstate click or call for a quote today howie and joining us now from philadelphia is ed rendell, the former pennsylvania governor and onetime chairman of the dnc. You know how to count votes. Amy Coney Barrett is definitely going to be confirm. Some democrats are talking bouts boycotting the hearings. Does it make political sense for the media and some democrats to now wage a Brutal Campaign against her . No, absolutely not. Not on the issues theyve chosen. Look, its legitimate to wage a campaign about hypocrisy that theyre about to show, confirming this judge after saying that justice judge garland couldnt be confirmed because it was an election year. You how theyre going to answer that hypocrisy question, but thats not for the judge herself. The judge herself will answer questions about her philosophy and those are fair game. But nothing about if she can do the job and shes certainly done the job as a court of appeals judge, leave that issue alone. Democrats can ask her about what her position would be if she had to move on something about the election result. That would be fair game. Whether she would respect precedent, roe of v wade, that would be fair. Howie joe biden was asked about something that some liberal commentators and some democrats are pushing, if she gets confirmed were going to pack the court next year. Heres his interview i want you to listen with wvay with green bay. Its a legitimate question. Let me tell you why im not going to answer that question. It will shift the whole focus. Lets say i answer that question, the whole debate will be about why did he say or didnt say. Howie why would go joe biden t want to answer that question and make his stance on this, whatever he thinks one way or another, it seems he goes out of his way to avoid making news. He doesnt want to distract from the central issue. The central issue is who is best to be president of the United States, who is best to handle an emergency like the covid emergency, who is best to handle American Foreign policy. Joe wants the issues focused on those type of questions and i think hes right to do so. Howie the Supreme Court battle is something of a distraction from his game plan, is that your view 1234. Oh, sure. I think that any takes the focus away from who is best to deal with the issues is a distraction, no question about that. Howie. I think joe biden howie youve had to yeah. Well, obviously he knew that he would make a lot of news had he answered the question one way or another. Youve had to debate in your political career. The press always builds these things up as a big make or break event. Often that turns out not to be the case. Given bidens age, 77, and given the attacks by the president and his surrogates and his campaign, saying hes not coherent, hes confused, he can only string a kim sentences together, do you think this debate, particularly the first one on tuesday, could be more important to biden than a typical Campaign Election year . Well, the polls show that most people have made up their minds and are not going to be influenced by the debate. Still, the debate could have some importance in states that are decided by a narrow margin. Look, the president has committed to debate policy, number one error, and thats lowering the expectations for your opponent. The way the president talks about it, joe biden is not physically Strong Enough to stand up straight for the time period of the debate. The way the president talks about it, joe biden will be an idiot when answering the questions. Joe biden is physically stronger than the president of the United States, much better condition. Joe biden is as sharp as can be mentally. Ive talked to him five or six times during the campaign and he hasnt lost a step in terms of mental acuity. When he shows up and doesnt collapse, when he shows up an answers the questions, somewhat decently, hes the winner of the debate because donald trump has lowered the debate bar for joe biden. Its so incredibly low. Big mistake. Howie you raised exe expectats slightly here. The president says if joe biden does okay the media will say its the greatest debate performance of all time. Is that working the refs or are the press going to be more favorable to biden . Ive got about half a minute. Its a little too late. Donald trump has lowered the bar so incredibly for his ow owe poe meant which owe po opponent,h is debate medical practice. If joe biden does reasonably well, hes be the winner regardless of what the media says. Theyll say his closing speech was good, bingo, its over. Howie great things about debates, people can watch and make up their own minds. Governor ed rendell, thank you for joining us this sunday. My pleasure. Howie still to come, the mead ya covering the violent reaction to the lack of charges in the killing of Breonna Taylor and are commentators, some of them, disregarding the facts . Its official National Coffee day is now National Dunkin day celebrate with a free medium hot or iced coffee with any purchase on september 29th. Little things can become your big moment.

Your doctor should monitor your weight and may stop treatment. Upper respiratory tract infection and headache may occur. Tell your doctor about your medicines, and if youre pregnant or planning to be. Otezla. Show more of you. Howie liberal commentators are outraged by the decision not to bring charges against Police Officers in the killing of Breonna Taylor which sparked violence in louisville. Some of the commentary seemed disconnecteddedisconnected frome complicated facts of the case. This was a black lives dont matter ruling because they said her life was irrelevant. You can do this whenever you want and we wont jail you, we wont hold you accountable, shoot all the black people you want. There is no evidence of any kind that Breonna Taylor was murdered because she was black. That is a lie. Howie joining us now from cleveland where hell be covering the first president ial debate, fox news correspondent griff jenkins. What happened to Breonna Taylor was heartbreaking, asleep in her apartment at the start of this drug raid. Given the fact that her boyfriend opened fire on the Police Officers when they broke down the door and ruled to be acting in selfdefense, is this case for mr complicated than the black lives dont matter rhetoric were hearing. Thats exactly right. Facts really do matter. Depending on your viewpoint, depends on how youre taking a side and ultimately the evidence and facts as they were that were presented to a grand jury who found none of the officers charged in the death of Breonna Taylor, they are sealed and the family attorney for the Taylor Family calling for those to be released. Ultimately daniel cameron, kentuckys attorney general, says that the officers did announce themselves. It was not the noknock warrant as reported and the officers were threatened because of the boyfriend pointing a gun at them in the apartment. One officer was charged with three counts of wanton endangerment for firing into a neighbors apartment but that officer, it was not his gun that caused the death of Breonna Taylor. Ultimately i think whats driving this a lit politically and why you have people speaking out so strongly is the attorney general, daniel cameron, is a republican. He is black. And he spoke at the rnc. And when i was in kentucky for the Kentucky Derby covering protests i found that most of their anger and ire and anxieties were directed at the attorney general because they thought that it would be the case. At the end of the day, youve got everybody from the political commentators, as long as well as stars like shaq and Charles Barkley and a others in the sports world talking about it. Howie including on espn. I think its a legitimate question, how the officer could be not charged recklessly. You mentioned the attorney general. When he anunse announced this, d he was upset as a black man but it was his job to follow the law. You have Jason Johnson saying hes furthering White Supremacy so getting pretty heated on this case for obvious reasons. It is getting heated. We saw in the press conference with ben kromp, la nita baker is demanding they release the facts presented to the grand jury and they called on the media to tell the truth about whats happening. One things for sure, we probably havent heard the last of this. Howie this story is not going away. Nice to have your insight. Good luck covering the debate. Griff jenkins, everyone.
