Possible and on testing the American People really deserve to know that when we began, as you said, mr. President it, was literally a standing start. We didnt have information on the coding of the coronavirus until midfebruary but americas cdc labs and Public Health labs did their level best. By the end of february we had done less than 10,000 coronavirus tests but as you Just Announced a few moments ago, last week we cleared 100 million tests all across the country. It is extraordinary. We have the capacity to do three million tests a day. It is a testament to American Innovation and the leadership youve provided. Also, mr. President , weve delivered to nearly 14,000 Nursing Homes in america point of care tests already and are making it possible for us to really keep focus on the most vulnerable. As you know only 8 of those who have contracted the coronavirus are in Nursing Homes but 40 of those that have lost their life have been in Nursing Homes. So weve surged those resources and s
Election day. Thats cutting it close. And while Mitch Mcconnell is confident he has the votes to confirm the president s choice for the high court, the radical dems are acting like agents of a foreign power rather than members of the loyal opposition. The democrats have already attacked judge barretts role as a working mother of seven. Thats right, attacking her as a mother of seven. They have implied she is racist, they have further implied she is a religious fanatic. President trump calls the attacks of the left on her straightforwardly anticatholic prejudice. I thought we settled this 60 years ago with the election of john f. Kennedy, but seriously theyre going after her catholicism. I will stand with her, fight with her, and we will make sure that these attacks stop, because they really its unprecedented. Theyre basically fighting a major religion in our country. This is incredible. Lou at least four of the radical dem senators say they wont even meet with judge barrett, they refus
Hour as he is in wisconsin right now, far northeast port of that state in the city of marinet. As the president will be at a shipyard there, you reason he is there, the ship in the back of the picture there, that Company Involved is getting a 5. 5 billion contract to build 10 of those very exact ships. 1000 jobs to come into that area. You will likely hear the president tout that and job creation in wisconsin. That state, the badger state has been a focus for the white house and the Trump Campaign this week. There is a pretty good reason why, when you look at the history there, democrats won seven consecutive president ial elections. President trump flipped that state in 2016, winning less than 1 , 22,000 votes. 10 electoral votes are in play in november. The polls right now, if you listen to them, look at them, believe them, not looking good for the president , the real clear politics average he is down to joe biden by eight points. Highly respected Marquette University law has same e
Immigration agenda. The Supreme Court ruling with President Trump and supporting his decision to use 2. 5 billion of defense funding to expand the border wall. The justices also ruling that President Trump, saying the president was absolutely correct in focusing on detaining illegals and making it easier for the dhs to detain Illegal Immigrants with criminal backgrounds. The High Court Also agreeing with the president that he does, indeed, have the power to deny green cards to immigrants who require or government welfare and assistance. And the justices also supporting the president s remain in mexico policy, ruling that President Trump expect department of homeland and the department of Homeland Security can return Illegal Immigrants to mexico while they await asylum decisions.

The s p 500 and nasdaq did break a threeday winning streak, so closing both lower today. We got data on jobless claims. Really awful. It goes to show you that the wall street recovery since those march lows, up 40 as you just noted, melissa. It is really outpacing main streets recovery. If you look at continuing claims here topping 21 million, it suggests that employers have been slower to hire back furloughed workers. Lets talk about the retailers. It is a particularly painful time for them. Hit first by the pandemic and now damage from the protest although you wouldnt know that from some of the retailers stock performances were seeing today. Take a look at nordstrom. It is up almost 10 . I want to Pay Attention to the gap here. Higher today too ahead of earnings any minute now but they did get hit by a lawsuit, Simon Property group because they hadnt paid their rent. Also the nasdaq 100. It did touch an intraday record high. It has since pulled back as Big Tech Companies pulled back.
