Every single american should be wearing a mask when they are outside for the next three months at minimum. It is not about your rights. Its about your responsibilities as an american. Be a patriot. Protect your fellow citizens. Protect your fellow citizens. Step up. Do the right thing. Do the right thing. Harris President Trump hit right back, saying biden doesnt trust the American People. He does not identify what authority the president has to issue such a mandate, or how federal Law Enforcement could possibly enforce it, or why we would be stepping on governors throughout our country, many of whom have done a very good job at every turn. Biden has been wrong about the virus, ignoring the Scientific Evidence and putting left wing politics facts and evidence. Harris again, waiting for the president to step up their at the lectern. We will go there live. Jacqui heinrich live in wilmington, delaware. Jacqui . Harris, i want to briefly note the biden event behind me just wrapped up. Biden and harris signed the documents to accept their president ial and Vice President ial nominations next week at the dnc, and then they left without taking any reported questions. Going back to this issue of masks, yesterday President Trump said biden wants the commander in chief, with the stroke of a pen, to tell 300 million americans to wear a mask for the next three months. He characterized it as Big Government overreach with the potential for abuse. Its worth noting that, while biden deal call on governors to enact National Mass mandate, he did not call on the white house to enact a federal mandate or ss president s call for that same thing. Still, the Biden Campaign is dragging the president on his coronavirus response, releasing a memo titled, coronavirus lies, 152 and counting, showing how they say President Trump is undermined the Public Health response to the virus. He also released new ads in several battleground states detailing the bidenharris approached judy garland the virus by expanding testing, producing more protective gear in the u. S. , and calling for mass mandate nationwide. One of them target seniors. Are seniors that are being hit the hardest, they are frightened. Their health and safety will be my responsibility if im the president , and i will have, from day one, ready to go, the best medical experts and scientists. A new poll shows voters a very concerned by the virus and it may be impacting the electio. President trump was with biden ahead by nine points there. Today, Jared Kushner further defended the administration response. I think this is people really politicizing this issue more than anything else. I think we have made a lot of progress. We have gotten to the hospitals, to our country, all the different supplies that they needed. Weve seen a lot of hysteria that that would be possible. President trump has led the effort to do a vaccine. Last night, white house eb demeo just dr. Anthony fauci appeared to break with the president s stance on the mass mandate, saying everyone should have to wear a mask. Harris . Harris jacqui heinrich, thank you very much. As we await more from the president , lets bring in erin farina, director of pressed medications for the Trump Campaign. Great to see you. It has been a busy last couple of days. Weve seen things shape up before the dnc, with the nominating process now the whole ticket. A running mate from joe biden. I first want to get your initial reaction. Well, im actually here in wisconsin, unlike the righ radil bidenharris ticket. This is a state from them President Trumps side. You look at the bidenharris ticket a talk about a radical takeover by the left of the democrat party. Harris stands for medicare for all, socialized medicine in this country. She believes in the Green New Deal. Try and talk about the Green New Deal and a ban on fracking in a state like pennsylvania, or talk about the Energy IndependencePresident Trump has brought to this country. Its clear what joe biden thinks, that government needs to absolutely wreck the American Dream that President Trump has been able to deliver for so many, to try and drive this country so far to the left. President trump still stands for firmly for freedom in this country. Its a clear contrast and when we are excited to make. Harris i want to press in a little bit on this idea of wearing masks. I dont know if you watch the show, but i have pressed in and said, look, from the beginning we were told we needed to save all that pp back for the medical professionals. So we do know they work, because they do surgeries to protect the people theyre doing surgery on, and they protect us. We know the masks work. But there is this conversation going on. This simulation shows airborne transmission paths of the sneeze, with or without a mask. Demonstrating the effectiveness of covering your face with a mask. Watch. All right. Im not sure what you can see on the ground, but it is a schematic with 6 feet and then 20 feet away, and you see most of the concentrations in that 6 feet. Im wondering if there is room, as you do your messaging, for the president. And you are in beautiful wisconsin today, seeing people. Is there room to say, im going to wear one, watch what i do, and just do that . President trump has done that. You have seen them travel and wear a mask. You saw and where one at walter reed, you see them wear one since. He has been very clear if the patriotic thing to do, to wear a mask. I wear a mask when i travel across the country. On behalf of President Trump and Vice President pence. The president has been very clear, and he has put forward medical experts, cdc guidelines, to make sure states have the resources on the information they need when it comes to masks, and how it should be treated in this country. With the president has been very clear, the patriotic thing to do was wear a mask when you cant socially distance. Harris im wondering if he wants to and joe biden, as well. I mean, the word patriotism is one thing. The word science is another. Maybe put them together, i dont know. We move onto this. President trump is telling the New York Post this about his rnc acceptance speech. Ill probably be giving my speech at the white house, because it is a great place. Its a place that makes me feel good. It makes the country feel good. And a Government Official says the speech would not violate the hatch act. I should throw that in. However, the idea has faced pushback. Oversight chair Carolyn Maloney said this quote. While President Trump has ignored the log repeatedly throughout his time in office, surely he can find a way to accept the republican nomination without putting federal employees in legal jeopardy. What is your response to that . Democrats dont want President Trump to make a speech from anywhere in the country. If its at mount rushmore, they go into hysterics. It doesnt matter where it is, they continue to live off of trump derangement syndrome. Hes going to deliver a beautiful and iconic speech about what hes been able to der and about his bold America First division for the. When he wins reelection. It truly doesnt matter where he makes a speech, its about the man, its about accepting the run nomination here for the republican party, and the leadership he brings to the table, to be able to move America Forward through the coronavirus to rebuild this amazing economy he brought in the first place. Democrats dont care where the president is. They always have something bad to say. Maybe if they put that politics aside, i dont know, came back to d. C. And got work done instead of staying away, we might see a little more success for america with President Trump, who is always doing so much, if democrats decided to put politics aside. Harris aaron perini out on the campaign trail today in wisconsin, making time for outnumbered overtime. Appreciate it. Good to see you. Good to see you, harris. Thank you. Harris well, we are awaiting the president. He is expected to speak with reporters before he leaves the white house for bedminster, new jersey. Well take you there live as it happens. Plus, police in chicago are gearing up for what could be another violent weekend. The message the citys top cop has four wouldbe looters. Its not just the looters that is the problem. Lets face it, this stuff gets violent. Really violent. The battle over mailin ballots. Why the Trump Administration remained skeptical as democrats accuse the white house of undermining the u. S. Postal service. The idea of conducting elections by wholesale mailin ballots is reckless, and it could create serious questions about the integrity of the election. My gums are irritated.

One of the reasons the post office needs that much money is that all of these millions of ballots coming in from nowhere, and nobody knows from where and where they are going. We want people to vote, but we want people to vote so when they voted means 11 vote, it doesnt mean ballots all over the place. I do know this, i just want an accurate vote. Harris President Trump they are talking about mailin voting, something we could hear them talking about at conference moments away. The president has criticized the House Democrats bill that would give billions of dollars to the Postal Service that of the november election. He argues mailin ballots will lead to election fraud. However, Top Democrats are pushing back on that. Former president obama tweeted, everyone depends on the usps. Seniors, for their social security, veterans, for their prescriptions, Small Businesses trying to keep their doors open. They cant be Collateral Damage for an administration more concerned with suppressing the vote than suppressing a virus. She White House Correspondent john roberts is in the briefing room. John . Harris, good afternoon to you. As we wait the president , he should be here in the next few minutes. Its a little bit confusing where the president stands on this idea. More funding from the post office. On the one hand, as he pointed out, hes been highly critical of the democrat demands for 20 billion extra from the post office, including 3. 5 billion more to handle mailin voting. At the same time, the president has suggested that, if you get the broader deal from democrats, he might be willing to live with that. The one thing hes not willing to live with is this idea of mass mailing out ballots to everyone on the voter rolls as nevada is proposing to do. Listen what he says. Absentee ballots, by the way, are fine. But the universal male ins, where people can grab stacks of them and sign them and do whatever you want, that is the thing we are against. If we could agree to a bill, the overall bill, which is obviously a much bigger number than just the post office, that would be fine. Democrats are highly skeptical of the president s motives when it comes to the post office. Listen to delaware senator chris coons, here. Initially was hopeful this wasnt an intentional effort to transfer of the election. Im greatly concerned, given the recent changes in the leadership at the Postal Service, that we have seen by the postmaster general. Who, i will remind you, was a major Trump Campaign contribut contributor. Given the fact the talks are at a standstill, really arent going anywhere right now, it could be september before they get any kind of deal, if even get a deal by then. Which means that a lot of these ballots may be mailed out before Congress Even gets to this. The president upping the pressure on democrats as well in the past hour with a series of tweets saying hes prepared to send out more individual payments, and 3400 to families. More paycheck protection payments, as well as money to state and local governments. But then he says democrats are Holding Things up. Hes got the ball in their court, but nothing is moving right now. Theres nobody there on the other side of the court willing to hit the ball back. Harris . Harris they also dont have the coronavirus stimulus bill. Their home. Feckless, dictionary. Congress . Good to see it. More now on the mailin controversy. The power panels here. Fox news contributor david avella, gopac chairman, and Leslie Marshall pay that was a pox on everyones houses. Ridiculous. Im just going to move on. Moving on. So, i am a little confused, Leslie Marshall. Dr. Fauci says there is no reason why we cant have inperson voting, so why cant we do that . Look, its happening new jersey. There was a big announcement by governor murphy in terms of those provisional ballots. Youre actually going to have to spend more time when you go to vote then you would if you were just going to do an inperson anyway. Itll take you longer. Why the push for so much . There are a couple of things here, harris. In addition to dr. Fauci, there have been comments by the cdc, dr. Birx, and others in the health care community. There are certain areas of the state, the county im sitting in right now, areas of texas, areas of florida, which is certainly not safe because numbers are surging. Some of the hospitals have run out of room for icu. That is problematic, and certainly problematic to people who are older i have an Underlying Health condition. Remember, some of us have Underlying Health conditions we dont really know about. Yes, it is safe in some areas to vote in person, but not in all areas. That option should be available, i believe, and obviously democrats, which i am one of, believe that this needs to be a choice by each individual. We all know what we are capable of and, quite frankly, nobody should be forced to just mailing your ballot, but nobody should be forced to get out there and vote, as well. Especially if they are concerned for the health. Harris yeah, and we are wanting to offer people options. We have talks on outnumbered and outnumbered overtime every day about what some of the options are, we arent seeing it get into the bloodstream of the congress that has now gone home. Did i say it more than once . Fox news poll finds twice as Many Democrats say they will pass an early mailin or absentee ballot. Two different things. 41 compared to 20 of republicans on the flip side. As many republicans plan to vote in person on election day. 45 compared to 23 of democrats. David avella . David this is a perfect example, harris. Anyone can vote by absentee ballot, and can cast their vote sitting from the comfort of their home, if they choose not to go vote in person. This is a larger scheme on the democratic partys part. Its why there is 600 lawyers on the biden team, to stretch those rules to be advantageous for joe biden as possible. And you very well are setting up a scenario where, on election night, donald trump wins the election day vote and then bidens 600 lawyers, who arent sitting around to put stickers on mailers or make volunteer calls. Its to go into courts and use the law, try and stretch the laws to advantage biden. As weve seen, in a state like new york where race is changed or tightened based off courts deciding which ballots get counted and which ballots dont. As i said, in new york, where you have the post office not deliver hundreds of thousands of ballots. I mean, would 25 billion make the post office any more efficient in delivering the ma mail . Harris look, i think what you described is mailin and not absentee. Absentee voting is very different. Thats what our military members do. I think thats part of the struggle for President Trump as he pushes ahead with this, too. Theres a lot of just unawareness about that sort of thing. And we dont want to throw water on the potential for people who are serving us abroad not to be able to vote. I want to always make the point that mailin and absentee are very different. Before we move on, real quickly, leslie, Hillary Clinton says she is willing to join joe biden if he needs her. Real Quick Response to that . Wow. Leslie i think thats important. She is a heck of a fundraiser, and joe biden certainly needs money, although Kamala Harris being added as vp on the ticket raised close to 30 million overnight. He needs more cash, and Hillary Clinton is good at that. Harris will he give her a job . Leslie a lot of people still wanted hillary to be president. Im sorry . Harris give her a job . Leslie i dont know if hell give her a job, quite frankly. I dont know that she would want a job. I think shes happy at this point in her life with what shes doing. She is a big name, a big fundraiser. There are many still in the party that like her and respect her, including joe biden, and she would have to do this, i feel, because it sucks to show unity, especially with a female vp on the ticket. Harris it did elicit a smile from david. When you say her name at all that she brings in terms of the baggage politically, you might get a smile from a republican guess. Good to see you.

Harris please stay tuned to Fox News Channel in this fox broadcast station, because we are going to be carrying the president does momentarily. We have been given an inside 2minute warning, so we want to let everyone know that we are going to be carrying this momentarily. A couple things have come up, so we are working on a few stories that the president might be responding to. This mailin ballot, this mail and voting situation is one that is definitely heating up. He saw me with my panel previous to the commercial break, and getting the right nomenclature and the right details about what the fight is on, democrats are saying they want to offer people more mailin voting. You will see those things sent out as an outreach rather than people requesting them, which is what republicans say should happen. In those eight or nine states where you see mailend, it has worked, but not for the kind of capacity that we are about to se now. We are in the middle of a pandemic. Thats part of it. The absentee voting is something thats different. It has a different certification process, and it would have to. Many of those absentee votes that come in are from outside the country, with people like my dad, who formerly served in the military. And he would be with extended family, and those families would need to vote absentee. The certification process is different, its coming from within the government, a government installation. I wanted to get all that out there. Its a lot being talked about today. You will see the huge announcement that the president made regarding normalizing relations between the united emirates and israel. And that happened yesterday. That will be asked about no doubt, as well. This will be the first time the president will be addressing some of those issues after the news was made. Well be covering it all as it happens. Zacks friend, former obama for america spokesperson, is with me now. Zack, i wanted to kind of do the journalists job of explaining all that male and situation, because i think its really important. Now this battle over money for the u. S. Ps. Is that real or not . The president said hes not going to veto legislation for coronavirus thats put in front of him based on whether or not that money is going to the post office. What are democrats really arguing here . I think right now what youve got is a pretty significant attempt by the administration to undermine the Postal Service. Harris, you got to admit, a lot of the rhetoric coming out of the president himself, setting the stage for a frauds thats never been shown to exist across the country, questioning the validity of the post office, even the postal workers, do you think its a little bit of a set up on a Voter Suppression situation . That you think this is a set up as an attempt to ensure the people who want to vote dont really get a chance to vote . I think part of this is, if he really supports the Postal Service, i if you really suppors everyones right to vote, just come out and say it. Harris its a level awkward for you to be asking me those questions in my opinion about that, because i can only w the facts back at you. They are that there have been pockets of situations across the country where the mailin voting has not worked, just in terms of whats happened in new york. And those votes not getting counted. The flow of the process, all of that. This definitely concern. But a pox on both political houses, zach, i would say, because it is august. We knew we had a pandemic months ago. The entire country was locked down for a period of time. Thats not something we will see impact voting in the way this pandemic potentially will, coming in november. At least not in this lifetime. When you look at that, you have to scratch your head how a senate and house of representatives go home. A, without a coronavirus stimulus bill, which include some of what we are talking about right now, and b, without working out how theyre going to keep it safe for those people who choose to go to the polls. I think youre exactly right, harris. Two earlier point about some of the issues with mailin voting in new york, the solution to that isnt to cut funds to the Postal Service. It isnt to remove postal boxes. It isnt to cut hours, which were all under the republican plan. Remember, the heros act was passed by the Democratic Congress a couple months ago. I am completely in agreement with you that right now i think of a country is frustrated that nothing is happening. I dont know why the senate would reach that. They dont have an agreement within their own caucus on the republican side on the bill that they presented, but i completely agree that we are pretty far in right now. If you want to have a stable election, youve got to help provide the funding for it. Harris just a quick followup question on that, the democrats, nancy pelosi very late in the process after the president had talk about if you would issue some executive orders. He hadnt done it yet last week but we knew it might be imminent. Nancy pelosi, speaker of the house, says, well cut the deal we have on the table, meaning democrats, by a trillion dollars and bring it closer to what you want. They are still chilean apart, because democrats are 3 the republicans are 1. What kind of negotiation is that . Why in the world to have so much swab tesswamptastic stuff . Youve got stuff from the democrats, why are we solving some of that now . Why cant we streamline this and help millions of americans who need help . Harris, those absolutely fair points. At the end of the day, whatever gets past should include health relief, election relief, local government relief, and appointment relief. The things that are on the table harris have you told democrats that . Oh, theres debates in both caucuses about things end up looking like a christmas tree. I will say this, remember, the democrats actually passed a bill. Lets focus on the fact that we have at least the house and the Democratic Senate agreeing with the house bill. At least its something for the senate to consider. If their individual elements that need to be negotiated out of that, lets have that negotiation. I think the fact the speakers that shes willing to cut a trillion dollars out she was she willing to negotiate, but the senate recessed. Harris or did it show the politics of it all . And let us all gaze at whether or not, legally, that there is potentially, put something out. Put out a litmus. Let me get your take on this as we await the president to step up to the lectern today. New fox polling shows that, despite joe bidens lead, when asked who their neighbors are supporting, the voters put President Trump on top at 39 . Meanwhile, there are more americans who think their neighbors will back the president then democrats who believe their people will support joe biden. We cant get your answer because the president of the United States has begun the press briefing. President trump kevin clinesmith, a corrupt fbi attorney, who falsified faisal a warrants, in james comeys very corrupt fbi, is expected to plead guilty. You probably heard that, it just came out. Thats just the beginning, i would imagine. What happened should never happen again. He is pleading guilty. Terrible thing, terrible thing. The fact is, they spied on my campaign, and they got caught. You will be hearing more. Today, the office of trade and Manufacturing Policy released a new report on how my administration has harnessed the full power of the defense production act to achieve the greatest industrial mobilization since world war ii in a fight against the china virus. New factories, businesses, and laboratories are being built all over america to match our nations demand for personal protective equipment. Pharmaceuticals, drugs, testing supplies, therapeutics, and vaccines. Its been incredible. What weve been able to do in a very short period of time. We are helping other countries, also, because weve been really weve been doing it at a level that nobodys ever seen before. It was Just Announced a little while ago, Industrial Production rose for the Third Straight month. Its a big thing. Factory output was up after a 5. 7 increase last month. Those are getting to be record numbers, and manufacturing Capacity Utilization is now up to almost 70 . Coming back very strong. We have very good thirdquarter, we should have an unbelievably good next year. Next year, if we dont mess it up, somebody that has no idea what theyre doing, could be a fantastic year. My administration has exercised the authority under the defense production act two and number and a related authority, 78 times, dispersing over 3. 5 billion to speed the development of manufacturing of essential materials. To put it a little bit differently, the administration has exercised the authority under the defense production act and related authorities 78 times. Thats a lot, peter, right . Is a big number, 78 times. Came in very handy. A lot of times we just mentioned it and they did with asked asked him to do. Dispersing over 3. 5 billion to speed the development and manufacturing of essential materials. I have used the dpa more comprehensively than any president in history. There was a time when the media would say, why arent you using it, why arent you using it . Well, we have used it a lot. Only where necessary. For the most part, we have had tremendous cooperation. By invoking the dpa, we mobilized the extraordinary productive might of General Motors to manufacture ventilators. Gm repurposed the kokomo, indiana, plant in just 17 days, an alltime record, and has now produced over 21,000 ventilato ventilators. We are also working with Ford Motor Company and General Electric to produce over 30,000 ventilators a month. In michigan they have done a great job. Our nation is now the king of ventilators. I say that, the king of ventilators. We are sending them all over the world and helping a lot of countries that could never have ventilators. Really, i guess we are looking to produce over 200,000 ventilators by the end of the year. Those are some numbers. We are helping a lot of countries. In april, i directed the 3m to increase its manufacturing of n95 masks. By may we had to increase production by over a Million Masks a day. Think of that, the increased production of masks by over 1 million a day. 3m is now manufacturing an additional 39 Million Masks a month, and we also worked with honeywell to open factories in arizona and rhode island. They are now producing over 20 Million Masks a month. By the end of the year, domestic u. S. Manufacturing will help reduce over 1,000,000,095 respirators, and all of them are made right here in the usa. Thats a big difference from the past. Overall weve increase n95 mass production by 400 Million Masks a year. The media might say, why not 500 . When at 600 . Nobody has seen numbers like this, ever. We delivered more than 75 million in support to puritan medical in maine. I was up there. If you remember, we had a tremendous visit, tremendous throngs of people along the roads on the way to puritan medical. Puritan has doubled their production of testing swabs from 20 million to 40 million per month. They doing a fantastic job. So hi is maine. Ive used the dpa to fight price gouging in orting. We have gotten pieces of corded personal protective equipment, including 290,000 pairs of medical grade gloves. 192,000 and 95 respirators, and 135,000 surgical masks. That is hoarding. My administrations decisive actions have yielded truly incredible results. People have done an incredible job. We have replenished the Strategic National stockpile that was very badly depleted when we took office, and totally neglected in the last administration. Since the start of the pandemic, we have tripled the number of n95 masks on hand to over 40 million. Tripled the number of gowns to over 15 million, and quadrupled the number of ventilators to 69,000. By september, the student the strategical national 300,000,095 respirators and surgical masks, over 4. 5 billion gloves, and over 190,000 ventilators. Thats far more than we have ever done before. Not even close. As we talk about the economy, we continue to restore Americas Industrial might. We are bringing more jobs the usa. We understand the Economic Health is very critical to Public Health. We will be discussing next week some of the outstanding numbers we have compared to any other country. There is no country even close when you look at what we have done compared to them from the standpoint of the economy. Also, even during the period of the china virus. In the last three months, weve added an average of 100,000 jobs every single day. We have also added over 620,000 manufacturing jobs in the past three months. Thats despite people saying you cant do manufacturing jobs anymore, that you need a magic wand, they said. But they were wrong. Weekly jobless claims just fell below 1 million for the first time in a long time. Im pleased to announce that as part of operation warp speed the federal government will be partnering with the mckesson corporation, a great company, a great medical supplier, to properly distribute a china virus vaccine as soon as one is approved, fully approved. They are in stage 3 trials. We have many of them going along different passes. Also, many Different Companies doing them. Very, very incredible companies. We currently have three candidates in phase three. Clinical trials that are on pace to have more than 100 million doses of the vaccine ready before the end of the year, and 500 million doses very shortly thereafter. We are ready logistically to distribute them. Our military is ready. We will have a great general who is in charge, thats what he does. He distributes things. Usually its people, weapons, tanks. Its a vaccine or therapeutic, as it may be. We continue to actively monitor the virus, executing our strategy to protect the vulnerable and prevent hospital overcrowding. As of today, hospitalizations continue to be very stable. We will remain vigilant. We ask every citizen to practice good hygiene, socially distance, wear a mask when distancing is not possible, and protect the elderly. Always protect the elderly. Now we will take a few questions, if youd like. Reporter mr. President , on the issue of more money for the u. S. Postal service and mail in balloting, if the democrats were to give you some of what you want, what you articulated in a series of tweets in the last hour, would you be willing to accept the 25 billion for the Postal Service including the 3. 5 billion President Trump its not what i want, its what the American People want. In addition to i think, john, as part of your answer, i can read this. In addition to the executive orders that weve signed, which are going to be doing terrific things in terms of the payroll cut, which is a lot of money coming very quickly, weve directed the secretary of the treasury to get ready and send direct payments, 3,400 for a family of four, to all americans. Democrats are holding this up. Im ready to have the u. S. T and sba sent additional ppp payments to Small Businesses that have bn hurt by the china virus. Democrats are holding this up. We are talking about those are two things directly involved and really the victim of the china virus. We are ready to send, democrats are holding it. Im ready to send rental assistance payments to hardworking americans who are being hurt by the china virus. All these things are on the list. Democrats are holding this up. Im ready to send 105 billion to the states to help open School Safely with additional ppe, and democrats are holding this up. Thats 105 billion to the states to help open School Safely with additional ppe. Democrats are holding that up. Right . And im ready to send more money to states and local governments to save jobs of our great police, our firefighters, our First Responders and teachers. Its all ready to go. Democrats are holding it up. They are holding, john, all of that up. Reporter wouldnt you sign off on the money for the Postal Service . President trump they arent giving it to me, theyre giving it to the American People. Reporter what youd agree to that . President trump i would certainly do that, sure. Reporter i wanted to followup, when you said you directed secretary mnuchin to ready the payment, are you thinking about something to do independently . President trump im waiting for the democrats who prove that. Reporter you congratulated Marjorie Taylor green into tweet. You called her a republican star. Shes been a proponent of the qanon conspiracy theories. Do you agree with her on that . President trump shes done very well, she won by a lot. She was very popular, she comes from a great state. She had a tremendous victory. Absolutely, i did congratulate her. Please, go ahead. About qanon on that, that was the question. Reporter i wanted to ask you about what ails your brother, robert. President trump i have a wonderful brother, who had a great relationship for a long time, on day one. Hes in the hospital right now. Hopefully hell be all right, but he is having a hard time. Reporter i wanted to also ask you quickly about the video summit with iran and other world powers. Would you accept that invitation . President trump i havent been told of it yet. I heard there is something, but i havent been told. Report back thank you, mr. President. Two questions about vaccines. First, once the vaccine is ready, who should get it first . President trump i will rely on the doctors to tell me that. I would say probably the elderly. I would say Nursing Homes. A lot of people said, would you take it . I said id take it if they want, id go first or last, i do whatever they want me to do. But i would think the elderly and the people who are most vulnerable to the disease. We are actually making those lists right now. Mostly Nursing Homes and retirement centers. Reporter russia has approved a vaccine. Have you spoken to russia . President trump we dont know much about it. We hope it works. We do, we hope it works. Theyve cut off certain trials, and we just feel it is important to go through the process. We have numerous different vaccines that we think are going to work, but we want to go through a system of trials. We are very advanced, we will be announcing something in the nottoodistant future. Also, with therapeutics, which i think are very, very important. Yet, please. Reporter thanks, mr. President. I have one on china and one on oil. The first on china, theres a lot of alarm among americans about your order on we chat, they are worried that because it is such a big communication platform and a payment platform in china that if you ban u. S. Businesses from working with them that they will be able to sell iphones into china or similar markets. So, you dont mind . President trump in terms of the security of our country weve been very badly let down by country. What is the other question . Reporter this week, the Iranian Oil Tankers going toward venezuela. They are going to go to wondering what well do without oil. President trump will be announcing. If tankers going to houston, and they are there. Theyre not supposed be doing that. Iran is not supposed to be doing that. We did receive the tankers, and we are moving them and will move to houston. Reporter two questions, if you dont mind, mr. President. First of all, Kamala Harris. Youve been very blunt about how you feel about her, being a nasty woman. President trump i said she treated joe biden worse than anybody else. I watched those debates. They were very boring, but they were debates, nevertheless. I watched pretty good parts of them. She treated biden worse than anybody else by far. There was nobody, including pocahontas, nobody treated biden so badly as kamala. Reporter do you have an issue with a strong woman of color being in this prudential race . You dont see her as a threat . President trump none whatsoever. Not at all. Reporter thank you, mr. President. A stimulus question if you dont mind. You told me even before you were president , you always talked about being the ultimate dealmaker. Why not just sit down with democrats personally and cut a deal . President trump because they want 1 trillion to go to their friends are doing a bad job running certain cities and states that are doing very badly. Most of our country is running very well. Even in terms of crime, most of our country is setting records. But when you look at chicago, when you look at whats going on in illinois and new york and other places, both economically and in other ways, its horrible. Its horrible. Look it over again, look whats going on in oregon. I dont think they have a clue. We could stop that. If they would request it, we would stop that problem in one hour we did in minneapolis. Wed stop it in one hour. It would be over. It is so easy to do. Please, go ahead. In the back, yes. Reporter [inaudible question] yesterday you announced a peace deal between israel and the united arab emirates. Joe biden trying to take credit President Trump i heard that. Reporter what is your response . President trump i appreciate it, even the New York Times gave great coverage in the editorials today. Wall street journal, washington post, everybody was saying it. Great. This is something we been working very hard on. I saw where sleepy joe tried to claim credit for it. Im trying to figure out how that one works. What he did, they made a terrible deal with iran. The deal was a horror show, and i ended it. They gave them 150 billion for nothing. They give them 1. 8 billion in cash for nothing. They got nothing from that deal except trouble. They did nothing. Just like they have been weak on china, theyve been weak on russia, theyve been weak on everyone, and they were the weakest of all on iran. No, that was a great deal made by very talented people that work with me, and its been praised all over the world. What youll see now is other countries will come into that deal and you have peace in the middle east. Biden doesnt even know the name of the countries im talking about. Thank you very much, everybody. Reporter [inaudible question] harris the president of the United States giving some brief remarks off the top and then taking several questions for todays press briefing. You know, he talked a little bit about his brother, and you could certainly hear some of the tone, of maybe what his day has been like. He said it this way, im very close to my brother, robert. Hes hospitalized and he is having a hard time. Then the questions, and there were many. So, as the president making headlines, he would agree to money for the u. S. Postal service, but he is waiting for the democrats to also approve what republicans would want. That is probably the greatest headline on all of us. Wanted to give you that. Please stay tuned to Fox News Channel and this Fox Broadcasting station for continuing coverage of this story, on into the weekend. Im harris faulkner. Im going to pause for just a moment so our broadcast fox stations can exit. We will continue momentarily on Fox News Channel. The power panel now. Fox news contributor, Leslie Marshall. David avella, gopac chairman. Bring you both back now. The news has been made by the president. David, i want to go to you first, just come on blush, to get your response to what the president was saying about that mailin voting situation and the u. S. Postal service. He would, in fact, give them money. Thats where you and i started earlier. He never said he would veto it but he want something in return. Can they come to the table, democrats and republicans . David unlikely, at this point. Hence why the executive orders are now being talked about, and congress isnt even in session right now. But you made excellent points, harris. Theres one i wanted to add. Not only do you have absentee ballot voting and in person voting, you have states like West Virginia allowing members of the military overseas to vote on their phones. Americans need to know the election is going to be safe and secure and honest, and we do have ways for folks to cast their vote that doesnt have to be mailing a ballot to every registered voter when you have secretaries of state who wont keep the voter rolls clean. Harris the overhead line and all of this, i think that probably is overarching, right . Im willing to give money to the u. S. Postal service. And that takes so much air out of the sales of democrats, somewhat, given his comments about mailin voting. Its interesting going into the weekend that we hear that. Also, the seizing of those four oil tankers. He pointed to iran, they are headed to houston. What is your reaction . David time after time, we have the president getting victories on foreign policy. He also had the israeliuae deal, harris, that is also happening. You have him standing up to protect america and making sure that iran stays compliant with the oil embargoes. All that said, some of the biggest news out of that press conference was all of the resources being deployed by the federal government to attack coronavirus, and making sure funding is available to the state, and encouraging mask wearing, all of the things that is the advantage of an incumbent president , that he has to actually deploy Government Resources to make peoples lives better, versus being a president ial candidate saying what youd like t to do if elected. Harris yeah, it was interesting. 3 million 33 million increase per day by 3m, 3,000 ventilators by the end of 2020. Talking about how they would be helping out the United States, other countries. Leslie marshall, i want to bring into the conversation. At one point the president was asked about his incendiary remarks about Kamala Harris, and not shoring up that she was actually born in oakland, california, against some theories and criticism against her. What do you make of how he responded today . Leslie look, joe biden and Kamala Harris are his opponents. Sadly, it has become a new normal that the president of the United States, the leader of the free world, namecalls. Its not surprising. When you talk to some of the people in the g. O. P. , they are very concerned with this. I mean, this is a female, this is a woman who is black and southeast asian, and that is the first. It is history. Those are areas they need to stay away from. Senator lindsey graham, today, tweeted that Kamala Harris is a United States citizen, that she was born in the United States. They tried that with barack obama. It failed. He was elected. Not just for one term, but for two. The birther problem is a conspiracy, and that is not going to play well right now, because thats not what the American Voter is looking for. Maybe a small group of Trump Supporters are, but thats not overall what American Voters are looking for. Harris i want to get in there, because you started out with the name calling, so on and so forth. I dont want to go too far down the other road, because we dont even legitimize it. But i do want to ask you this, david, just in terms of messaging, it seemed different from the president today. He obviously got some news about his brother, robert, that was dyer. Going down this road, does not help them in terms of messaging to be so focused . He was very focused today. David it absolutely does. Particularly, harris, with the undecided voters that still remain in deciding how they are going to cast their vote. They will base it off who they believe, between biden and trump, is going to focus on the two issues they care most about right now, which is health care and the economy. Every day the president can get on and report good job numbers, report unemployment claims down, report spending harris got it, all right. David its good for the president. Harris im going to scoot. Thank you both for being here on dana President Trump blaming democrats for holding up talks for the next round of covid19 stimulus. Hello, everyone. Im dana perino and this is the daily briefing. The president wrapping up a White House Briefing just moments ago saying he is ready to send stimulus checks out to americans but is waiting for democrats to take action. We begin with chief White House Correspondent john roberts live from the north on. In a
