North carolina, more than 200 are dead, hundreds listed as missing as we speak at this hour. Helenes wrath relentless. A Living Nightmare for millions across the south. Most deadly hurricane since katrina. We watch the devastating fallout. Back on the job. Striking Dock Workers reaching a tentative deal to open up u. S. Ports. We got the Jobs Number for september. 254,000 jobs added. This after the fed cut rates by half a point. How does this all factor in now . Well look at that as we begin. Dana has the day off. Im Bill Hemmer live in new york city. Hello to you. Good to be with you on a job day. Cant wait to dig into that. Im Sandra Smith and this is americas newsroom. The tentative Dock Workers would give them a 60 raise. That pushes the deadline past election day. Bill convenient. That and the Jobs Report are good for Kamala Harris. The economy is still seen as a liability in the election. It is Human Nature to attribute your current economic situation to the people in office for better or worse. And today american households are facing much higher prices than in overall wages havent kept up. So, you know, in many ways the Bidenharris Administration, they get blamed for this but also contributed to it. Sandra the economy remains the top issue for voters. Poll after poll shows former President Donald Trump is more trusted to fix it. Bill team fox coverage. We have analysis. Mark meredith reports from the White House. Olivia hu at the Labor Department with the new number. How do you score the Jobs Number and what from it . Good morning, bill and sandra. 254,000 jobs coming in, much hotter than the expected 140,000 jobs added in the month of september. This report is bucking the trend of what weve seen out of the Labor Department in terms of the Labor Market for this year. Weve seen a cooling Labor Market which is what policymakers have tried to engineer as they are engineering a soft landing here. This report at 254,000 would ordinarily be a very positive report for the Government And Biden administration but it should raise questions about what the federal Reserve President Powell can do following this hotter than expected report . He is in a position trying to rein in inflation. A report should raise questions whether the fight on inflation is over. When you have more jobs added to the economy, that is going to stir spending. That is more money flowing through the system and pushes upward pressure on prices, not good for the everyday american as weve heard so far. He has so far just a moment ago, bill, he had that jumbo Rate Cut in the last meeting of 50 Basis Points and wants another 50 Basis Points for the year. After this report there should be questions whether he will take a look and analyze the data and be data dependent and maybe rest on a 25 Basis Point Cut or maybe conversation on whether or not we have any Rate Cut whatsoever. One final point about this Jobs Report is i think we should look at the quality of the jobs being added. Were seeing a lot of them added in the food Services Sector and government jobs. These are not really the types of jobs we want to be seen added to the economy. We want to see goodpaying jobs. Those are low wages. Go to Fox Business for more analysis. Sandra i just checked out the latest from the fed watch tool. It accurately predicted the last 50 Basis Point Cut. Right now the chances of that happening again because that was the anticipation, have now shrunk to a 12 chance that will happen. That is looking unlikely following this report. Meanwhile, lydia, port Workers Strike is over. Are the workers back to the Job Today . What happens next here . They were told to get back to the job. Ive been keeping in touch with Rank And File members. Theyve been instructed to get back to a job. Not on the Picket Lines this morning. The Port Of New York and New Jersey one Container Port is remaining closed for the day, not sure why. It seems that the Picket Lines and strike is over and expect them to return. As you laid out now 90 days to figure out the rest of their labor agreement. Were resting on a 62 Wage Hike over the next six years as their tentative agreement. Plighting the difference. The union and employers were settling at before this agreement. Nowner theyre have to look at the sticky issue, what do they do about automation . Much more difficult. They have 90 days to do it. Well see if were back on the Picket Lines in january. I dont know. Bill a lot to analyze there. Well get to it. Lydia hu, Labor Department for us today. Sandra Vice President harris failing to get another union endorsement. The group of firefighters backing biden in 2020. Things are looking different this time. Good morning to you. This is the second time that a major union which backed President Biden in the last cycle has chosen not to endorse any candidate in this race. Both Trump And Harris campaigns sought the support of the international association of firefighters. The iaff says it will sit this one out. The group putting out a statement late Last Night writing this decision that we took very seriously is the best way to preserve and strengthen our unity. We encourage members and eligible voters to make their voices heard in the election. The Teamsters Union also chose not to endorse anyone in the race. This was interesting because the teamsters had also been meeting with both candidates and trying to get whatever they could out the door. Politico writes this could be a sign of trouble for democrats. They write today the slights from the teamsters and a few other Labor Groups have harris supporters on edge since trump has succeeded in carve into the Partys Advantage with Rank And File members. This Morning Weve learned the v. P. Will soon campaign with former President Obama rallying supporters together in pittsburgh. Obama expected to hold more events for harris between now and election day. The Vice President is in michigan today. The latest polls showing her with a slight lead but one also within the margin of error. Still President Biden said he has all the confidence that she will prove victorious in november. [inaudible question] President Biden she ising to do fine. Trump is in the South Today making stops in North Carolina and georgia. His visit notable as he is set to meet with Georgia Governor brian kemp, someone openly critical of in the past but eager to be meeting with and seen with. Trump set to hold a major rally tomorrow. It will be in butler, pennsylvania. The same site as the Shooting Back in july. Sandra. Sandra thank you. Bill mary Kathryn Hamm joins us on a friday. You heard marks report about the firefighters union, Teamsters Union about a week ago. Here is a moment with Jeff Flock on Fox Business on with Maria Yesterday Morning at the port. I think it was in New Jersey, i do believe. Roll it. I wonder if they support Kamala Harris. I could ask that question. She wanted to know how many folks support Vice President harris. Not any hands, no hands. Wow. Sandra wow. Bill i dont know what to take from that. I dont think those guys knew that that question was coming. And No One wanted to step up and stand out, mary kathryn. Yeah, you dont know what to make of that particular clip but you can look to the other Data Points, the teamsters and firefighters union. Firefighters in particular are interesting because this is a male demographic, Blue Collar, often in urban centers and unionized. In 2020 they went with biden because he had union ced. Union Rank And File are moving toward republican voting. A fact for the last several cycles. She is not bridging that gap. Biden and harris were happy to side with the Union Boss in the Longshoremen Disagreement who is out there saying well cripple you in a time when people needs good to be moving not only for The Cost Of Living but the devastation in North Carolina and eastern tennessee. When you are standing with that most vocal person, maybe it doesnt go well for regular Blue Collar workers. Maybe it doesnt sound great outside of that union and to other unions. I think it aint great news for her for sure. I think the problem for the Harris Campaign is that they are arguing on this Longshoremen Disagreement, they are arguing that Donald Trump is chaos and that your Cost Of Living is fine. In this case look, we had three days of stoppage. Good they went back to work for her politically. However, there is still damage. Costs will go up. You dont pause the economy for three days and nothing happens to the goods and prices. People will pay a price. There was some chaos and cuts against both of their arguments. Sandra were reporting that former President Barack Obama is expected to hit the Campaign Trail late next week for Kamala Harris. The first stop is thursday in pittsburgh. Perhaps this is a sign of what well hear from him on the trail. Rewind to the dnc and this is what he said about the years under trump. Listen. We do not need four more years of bluster and bumbling and chaos. We have seen that movie before and we all know that the sequel is usually worse. America is ready for a new chapter. America is ready for a better story. We are ready for the president Kamala Harris. Sandra you have to think it is an effort to boost favorability. The latest on that out of our Fox News Polling September 13th to 16th mary, shows her with a 49 favorable, 51 unfavorable rating. Mary kathryn. Former President Obama is a great speaker but Kamala Harris is the sequel to the current administration. She is serving in the current administration. She is the chapter were on. She cannot turn the page in the way that obama, although effectively speaking, is saying that she can. I think thats what voters, including these Labor Union members, are saying. They are seeing that. They are seeing you are not telling me how you will be anything different. You rarely talk. We dont know much about you. I dont feel like i can trust you. I lived four years under trump and four years under bidenharris and the trump years felt better to a lot of people. Their rhetoric is running up against reality and a contest between the two. Bill she took one question all week, i think. Maybe a podcast i missed. One thing about pennsylvania. Were watching on election night. You can understand how Union Workers in Pennsylvania And Energy workers in pennsylvania could go for Blue Collar Joe Biden but well see whether or not they can go for Kamala Harris out of california. Thanks for coming on, mary kathryn. Well talk again next week. Good analysis, thank you. Dana tomorrow former President Trump as you heard from Mark Meredith is set to hold a rally in butler, pennsylvania. The Secret Service says it has been working to make sure the site is secure. Pennsylvania congressman Mike Kelly says it has been totally revamped. Lawrence, when you look at it now.

One command center. The ability to use frequencies that make sense and communicate. Totally different than july 13th. Sandra the former president will be joined by elon musk. Bill that will be must see tv. There is a measure of drama that will be captivated in this appearance in butler, pennsylvania tomorrow. Well all relive the memories on july 13th.
