Im chuck todd. Today marks two months until election day. Both candidates will be on the ground in battleground states. Joe biden is in wisconsin where hell hold a Community Meeting aimed at healing and bringing people together. Todays trip is in a small part an acknowledgment that President Trumps goal of focusing the 2020 campaign on law and order is worrying democrats.

Meanwhile, as the president ial race enters the postlabor day stretch, the president is disputing a report that the campaign could face a financial crunch in the last two months. More on that in a moment, this as the Biden Campaign, which has money to burn, is out with a new slew of new battleground ads, trying to convince voters that he is the candidate who will g
Here to help brea break todays big stories and break them all down. First various hot spots around the country, one in the midwest as covid19 rips through it. The tyson plant in waterloo, iowa has officially suspended all operation. Tyson saying the plant has been running at lower production, and will stop production midweek under further notice. Officials say at least 75 of cases in black hawk county, iowa, which is where waterloo is, are connected to the sing the tyson facility. Joining me in dallas is my colleague morgan chesky, who was just in wattlooking yesterday, when we were wonder would they temporarily shut down the plant. It wasnt because of the governors request or local requests, the implication was it was simply due to not enough workers. Reporter thats certainly the implied message coming from tyson today, chuck. Theyre saying that work are absenteeism, combined with covid19 and the Community Concerns basically left them no choice other than to temporarily shut down this
administration talked aboutif there is a trade framework that hopefully the europeans could become a part of that has economic incentives and if we move in the same direction to support the democracies are the partners on these interest and that is the best possible outcome. . . expert here. how much should one warn about the i think a lot of the coverage there was a sense that these revolutions that s not true. the only secular so far is people were not explicitly raising islamist slogans. the muslim brotherhood ordered its brothers in the square to not say anything remotely islamist. don t do any of that because they knew that that might provoke the arrest and also the regime. and now that they are looking to or three months into the post revolutionary era the muslim brotherhood is the single most powerful tool in egypt and i was just there two weeks ago and met with the top three leaders of the brotherhood a political party. they are pretty confident about the strength
that. let me say this began to the house audience it has been a runaway success and the first responsibly as american officials in the military and intelligence leaders to protect the united states and again i think our intelligence program is in that respect have been successful. but i think the question was about there is no question about the degree of messiness and afghanistan. the problem with pakistan is to hedge their bets and they have a better idea what s going to happen in afghanistan and the situation becomes a little more unstable every day afghanistan and that is the scary thing. the long-term prospect are frightening. it s the groups coming together with an attack on pakistan in 2009 and its three different groups to tell each other their services and until pakistani leaders have a better perspective and more confidence was going to happen in afghanistan i don t think they are going to take the steps the country needs to stabilize their own situation. if i c
