Whoe1 is rightw3 and wrong. So youe1 wont say whether 9 of coronavirusi] cases are harmless is true or false, what the president ni said last night . We have data on theni task it seriously. Surpassing their own record. They havew3 nr200,000 cases. Peoples mind. Mr. Trump won battleground states like florida and wisconsin ine1 2016.

Givene1 the astronomically highr number of psative covid nicases we ask howq people are feeling about the surge. They have seen more than 40 xd increase in the paste1 e1week.

You have covered thislp from th beginning. Beginning. We need to y messaging. I] what is your sense from the white house,e1i] the way the coronavirus briefings have been conducted. to me it seems it has shifted in the lastxdw3 few months. Fai] it seems like briefings aret being done by thoseni other tha thee1 president. Not in a place where President Trump couldt comelpu one whonr said he wanted those briefings to start again. I tr to we will see if there are more of those. Its not something thee1 white houseni ignores, despite the messaging haszv changed. Us. More to come.

Flyovers, fireworks, military bans, they were all part of the white houses salute to fourth of july celebration. President trump saluted the armed forces, blasted democrats, down played the coronavirus surge and more. He did not mention the bounty that Russian Troops paid to afghanistan troops to kill american soldiers. The Administration First heard of this last year according to our estimation. Welcome, congressman. Thanks. You tweeted the following about intelligence. If i led marines into an ambush because i didnt read a report that said we would get ambushed in, i wouldnt be tweeting that it wasnt my fault, i would be in prison. Is there anything to be done . I would like to see the commander in chief stop acting like a traitor to our troops and quit being more interested in protecting putin and russia than our men on the front line. There is a lot to be done because our president has been unwilling to stand up for our troops and confront russia. We have to protect our troops because the president isnt willing to do so. We have to get to the bottom of what is going on here. There were 100s of hours over ben ghazi. This is far more serious. Third, we have to take action against russia ourselves because this administration is unwilling to stand up to the greatest enemy the United States ever faced. If i heard you right, it sounded like you said our president is acting like a traitor to our troops. This is a very tall allegation to level against our president. Aiding and abetting the enemy. Russia is the greatest enemy of the United States. It is the only country on earth that could wipe out every American Life in 20 minutes. The president is not only unwilling to go off on them, but they are putting bounty on our troops heads and taking no action whatsoever. What would you like to see done in response . We need to take action. Congress needs to step up, get to the bottom of this and understand exactly what is going on, to try to finally understand why trump is so beholden to putin. The Vice President , the second of state mike pompeo, they all saw this briefing and did nothing to protect our troops. That should create questions about how morally bankrupt this administration is because they are so be holding to trump. The latest information from the times, says intelligence wasnt there to act on it. Intelligence can be a tricky thing. How solid do you believe the evidence is for the existence of the bounty . From what i have seen so far, the evidence is pretty solid. It doesnt matter. Intelligence is never solid. You take action on intelligence. If i got intelligence that my marines might be ambushed, i dont say dont worry, we havent proven it beyond a reasonable doubt. No, i would take action and make sure we take a route we dont get ambushed. The president didnt do any of this. The best thing was he didnt bother to read a report. And you have to ask what about the people around him . Where were they . Why did they not advise the president that the biggest enemy to the United States is putting bounties on our troops heads. But apparently that didnt happen. They are falling back on the biggest excuse in the books, we werent sure. Obama didnt have a certainty that there was Osama Bin Laden was there, but he took action. Thanks for your time. President trump is well behind joe biden in the polls. You know how those turned out in 2016. With everything going on, the protests and virus and economy, should we believe them now . E bew kelcee was keeping chill with the scent of new gain with essential oils detergent. She was really feeling it when. She remembered everything. Youve got this girl. Just inhale. And repeat. New gain with essential oils detergent. A poll is just a snapshot, one point in what could be a pattern. Right now its not clear what the pattern might mean as the president runs for reelection. Past elections have taught us time after time the old saying is true, the economy. In many polls like this weeks poll, the president has a slight edge over joe biden regarding the economy. Lets bring in charlie cook and appl amy. Lets start with an article you wrote. You pointed to coronavirus and the president s roll of fanning the flames of the cultural roll as to his undoing. If the economy does not come roaring back, what might Donald Trumps path to victory look like . It would be very, very hard. The economy doesnt play the role when James Carville said that back in 1992. We have seen the politics of grievance take over other than the economy. So when you had 50year unemployment, President Trump was still behind. A lot of americans arent voting on the economy. At the same time when the economy first took its dive, the numbers didnt move much at all. I think it is like a dam that broke. Holding back, holding back and all of these things that normally catch up with a politician, call it april, june, and an 8 to 14point lead for biden. Yesterday he gave an interview at the festival. Let me get your reaction. Our growing economic inequity to deal with the denial of our nation for so long. As president i will fight every day to lead these changes and listen. He knows he needs the vote of the black community. Thats what turned the tide for him in South Carolina and made him the no, me. Nominee. How do you assess his ability to make good on this promise . He has been a champion in this arena for a long time. He has been on the side of restrictive policies, like the crime bill the president is going to use to try to press africanamerican turnout for joe biden. As the congressman of South Carolina said when he endorsed him time in that community and thats why jim said we know joe and he knows us. Thats why it led to so much support that as you said, swung the whole primary campaign his way to become the nominee. What joe biden is doing is trying to persuade and mobilize. While the president is trying to refine more of his own. Joe biden is trying to do both. He is trying to walk the center on issues like toppling down statues in protest because he is trying to win back voters that were president obama supporters and then went to President Trump. If he can chip away at senior voters and independent voters, he can get the polls. The polls show joe biden with the lead. I remember con sosoling my frie in San Francisco why President Trump had a chance to win all along. I assume the polling has evolved, but how wary do we need to be . National polls, they are off. 9 of 1 . They had an average of 3 point lead for hill ri clinton and she lost by 2. 9. 45 states went exactly the way we thought they would. Florida and North Carolina were too close to call, three were wrong. Thats where the pollsters were looking. But when you are looking at an 8 to 14point lead, anything that biden has over, say, four points, if he is only ahead by 2 1 2 points, thats where democrats ought to be nervous. We are looking at 8 to 14point lead. And he is behind in every battleground state except South Carolina. Some voters say they will not put a mask on to vote. My fellow floridians seem to not mind about masks. We have a serious problem in every state in this country during a pandemic. Poll workers over 65 are in danger doing this kind of work. It is very, very tough. Mechanical problem for joe biden, outside the margin of error in every single poll they are consistent. There is a lot of absentee voting in florida and that helps the president. Republicans ballots are more absentee in florida. Trump is the mechanics of who is going to get to the polls, whose will be counted on Election Night and how long will we know afterwards. Thats a conversation the Campaign Needs to have with the voters. And it happens to be from my home county, palm boeseach coun florida. I have dealt with this since 2000. I am calloused to it now. At least i think i am. Black lives matter is affecting sports in many ways including formula one racing. Lewis hamilton is formula ones only black driver.
