rally, a online. he said to his supporters, listen, we are getting a lot of bad headwind from washington. the president is frankly not popular here. he just laid it out there. it shows that he believes that the president, and i think by extension the vice president is a liability in this race. president biden won virginia by ten points, let s not forget that. but right now, mcauliffe is a buy may be one point in a lot of holes. right now bidens favorability. we can pop it up there. go ahead. i was just seeing a recent poll showed that biden s approval numbers in virginia are at 45 percent, so it s not that great. this isn t exactly the time to use the president on the road. i think it sets a precedent for the midterm elections and it has democrats wondering is president biden and liability in the midterm elections. let s not forget the last time that republican won the
the controversy on this sunday over players taking a knee during the national anthem again the spotlight in the nfl, if you have been watching any of the games. vice president pence was attending a game between the san francisco 49ers and the colts of indianapolis earlier today. but he walked out after seeing players from the 49ers kneeling during the anthem. pence issued a statement following the game saying emnot dignify any event that disrespects our soldiers, our flag or our national anthem. president trump then followed vice president pence with a tweet of his own saying he asked pence to leave if any players kneeled. let s go to tyler tynes and jason page. tyler, peter alexander was reporting at the top of the hour for us and he said those who might be critical of what the vice president and the president did, is that they had planned this out if you will to double down, triple down on their
12 months at this point. so it s not the right thing to ask these people how to protest. we ve taken a knee. we ve gone out into the streets, we ve given money, what more do we need to do on to ask for our own equality? it should be simple at this point. but again, it s apparently not because the president of the united states can offer this stunt and the vice president can go to a football game and leave after using tax dollars and everybody s actually on okay with it. and i disagree. we ll have to leave it there. you do not agree on that point. you did agree on the first point that we discussed. so we ll leave it there. thank you both. another blow was dealt to the president and residents in puerto rico struggling to survive after hurricane maria. and google launches a nuf mission to help the island to try to stay connected. over 20 million kids everyday in our country lack access to healthy food. for the first time american kids are slated to live a shorter life span than thei

criticisms of those players who are kneeling during the national anthem. your thought. i mean, we ve seen for so long that these teams are going to protest. and we saw last week that the president and vice president was going to co-op this along with nfl owners to push out a temp unity or brotherhood to protect the shield and to make the protest seem like it is actually about pay theism and about unity and the flag. but that is a lie, right? like we ve seen so much that this white house has lied and this seems like a pr stunt to pe pet chew eight that lie. first it was the co-op and now we want the americans to fully not know why these black men are kneeling, why these black women in the the same thing. so it seems ludicrous that the white house would use tax dollars to fly to a game to put his hand over his hand and leave over a stunt. extreme lengths just when black people are only asking for
