Member of the Biden Transition Team, and jason miller, Senior Advisor for the Trump Campaign. And then. How does it feel to be nominated for the Supreme Court of the United States . Its really difficult, somewhat excruciating process. Chris the Senate Committee set to vote this week on Amy Coney Barretts nomination and send it to the senate floor. We will ask our sunday panel about the likely confirmation just days before the election. And our power player of the week after the passion to help us communicate with each other. Ironically, i think the secret to good communication is listening. Chris right now on fox news sunday. And hello again from fox news in washington. With just 16 days and counting, we are in the home stretch of this campaign. President trump is trying to shore up support in states he carried in 2016 while former Vice President joe biden is calling on democrats best weapon, barack obama. And its four days until the last president ial debate. We begin with fox team coverage. Jacqui heinrich is tracking joe bidens campaign, but lets start with davids bund in carson city, nevada, where the president holds a rally later today. This is the president s second visit to nevada in 40 days. Four years ago, lost the state and right now is behind the polls here. President trump full steam ahead on the campaign trail. November 3rd now within reach. The democrats would terminate our recovery with a draconian, unscientific lock down like your governor is doing right now for everybody except for her husband. The president calling out Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer during his trip through two rust belt states he won in 2016. Supporters chanting lock her up caught the governors attention who tweeted this is exactly the rhetoric that has put me, my family, and other government officials lives in danger while we try to save the lives of our fellow americans. Needs to stop. Meanwhile, the president now capitalizing on a New York Post story featuring emails allegedly tied to hunter biden. I want to thank the New York Post for showing real bravery. After twitter initially block the story from being shared, the rnc amounted to an illegal corporate unkind political contribution to bidens campai campaign. The president has just days to prepare for that final facetoface debate in nashville on thursday how after todays rally in nevada, he will had to do more rallies tomorrow in arizona and then to the east coast for several more rallies later this week. Chris david spent traveling with the president in nevada, thank you. Now, lets bring in Jacqui Heinrich who was covering the Biden Campaign in chapel hill, north carolina. At the event today, joe biden will encourage supporters to vote early but ahead of the debate with President Trump, it appears hes keeping a light schedule and tapping with surrogates with star power. Right now, the country, we need joe biden. Saturday, Magic Johnson in michigan. Today, andrew yang takes on pennsylvania, a crucial battleground where president obama will make his first appearance on the trail later this week following a Campaign Memo warning supporters the reality is that this race is far closer than some of the punditry we are seeing on twitter and tv would suggest. Facing fallout over those allegations in the New York Post, joe biden is trying to keep the focus on his campaign, but questions linger about the authenticity of the emails and the veracity of their claims. I have no response, as another smear campaign. The campaign cited bidens tax returns, official schedule, and Republicanled Senate inquiry as proved by it and bend u. S. Foreign policy to enrich his family. , the hair is also trying to make up for lost time after two people in her campaign tested positive for coronavirus, keeping her home for four days. Tomorrow, she will head to florida for the first person of earthly voting. Chris thank you. Joining us now, former mayor pete buttigieg, a member of the Biden Transition Team and author of the new book trust, americas best chance. I want to start with what you said about joe biden back during the democratic primaries. Take a look. This is an example of why years in washington is not always the same thing as judgment. He supported the worst Foreign Policy decision made by the United States in my lifetime which was the decision to invade iraq. Chris mayor, i understand that you were running against biden then and the choice between you and biden is different than the choice between trump and biden, but did you mean what you said and then, that former Vice President biden back the worst Foreign Policy decision of your lifetime . I think invading iraq as a mistake and i believe the Vice President said the same, but we are not going to take lessons on iraq policy from this current president who can barely keep straight whats going on in the middle east and its a destabilizing force literally everywhere he goes. Right now, its 2020 and the choice has gone down to joe biden who i enthusiastically support and donald trump who has been a disaster in every foreign and domestic issue or policy at stake. We cant go on with four more years of this chaos, of this cruelty, and thats why more and more americans, a remarkable coalition of democrats like me but independence and an amazing number of republicans are all coming together to say reback joe biden. Its time to end the term presidency and move on. Chris i want to take you back one last time to the primaries because you went after joe bidens 47 years in washington. Here you are. We need a perspective right now that will allow us to leave the politics of the past in the past, turn the page and bring a change to washington before its too late. Chris you talk about the politics of the past. You sound like President Trump there. What i know is we definitely need to turn the page even more now than when i was running for president a year ago and we need to turn the page from is a president who is incapable of handling a Public Health crisis that has now cost almost a quarter of a million american lives, thrown our economy into total wreckage and has clearly no plan to do anything about it. So lets turn the page, and we have a clear choice. Remember when everybody was hammering it saying how can the democrats possibly unify . Look how unified we are now. Its immigrants from across the spectrum from the left of the center joining with independents and republicans because we can all see what is at stake here. I cant think of an election in modern history where the choice has been this stark and i know what side im on. Chris lets turn to the nomination of judge Amy Connie Barrett to the Supreme Court. Heres what joe biden said about that recently. The only Court Packing is going on right now, its not constitutional what theyre doing. Chris mayor, i certainly understand why democrats are upset with the president rushing through this nomination, but it isnt Court Packing, and it certainly is not unconstitutional. I think what hes saying is its not in the spirit of the constitution or the spirit of our legal system or political system for them to do this. Most americans believe as i do, as joe biden does that the American People ought to have a say. We are not talking about in the elections coming up. Millions of americans have voted and want their voice to be heard and of course, its an enormous amount of frustration that this senate can even bring itself under Mitch Mcconnell devote through a covid relief package. Right now, people are suffering and hurting, there is no clear end in sight. A bill that was brought to them months ago coming out of the house and they wont touch it and wont do anything but suddenly, they have time to rush through a nomination of the American People dont want. Whatever specific words you use for it, the bottom line that i would use is wrong. The fact that most americans agree with us on this is one more reason why joe biden is winning this election right now and everybody votes which we are leaving nothing to chance. We have to work so hard to make sure that we turn out every vote but if everybody does, the majority of the American People will be heard because most americans disagree on a nomination. They believe he is doing a terrible job on the pandemic and most americans support keeping the Affordable Care act and preexisting conditions which they could take away from us in a matter of weeks which is by the Supreme Court fight is so important on issue after issue after issue. Our job is to get out that vote. Chris lets talk about the Supreme Court fight because joe biden has refused to say whether or not if he is elected president he would actually pack the court, not rush through a vacancy which exists, which is purely constitutional, but pack the court by increasing the number of justices from nine. Heres what joe biden said this week. Told voters have a right to know . They have a right to know before i vote. Depending on how they handle this. Chris he was what i dont understand about that answer, mayor. As you point out, millions of americans are already voting. I believe 22 million plus have already voted, so of joe biden wants them to know what hes going to do on the court, shouldnt he have told them weeks ago and secondly, you more than anyone else i can remember in the democratic primaries used to talk about increasing the size of the court. I remember us discussing 15 justices. Is that what you hope for President Biden would do . My views have been changed. I think bipartisan reform with the purpose of reducing the politicization of the court is a really promising idea. Lets also be clear that a president can just snap their fingers and do it and most of all, we dont want to allow this president to change the subject, which is what they are always doing. They were all kinds of interesting questions about the future of the american judiciary, but right now as we speak, the preexisting conditions coverage of millions of americans might depend on what is about to happen in the senate with regard to this justice. My marriage might depend on what is about to happen in the senate with regard to this justice. So many issues are on the line, and this current president and they have a remarkable gift for changing the subject. We are not going to let them because we know the American People are with us on this issue and we cant let them just paper over or throw up smoke around the fact. Chris is it changing the subject if you are talking about the Supreme Court, isnt the question of packing the court which a lot of democrats including you have talked about doing and Vice President biden refusing to answer that, thats not changing the subject and dont voters have a right to know before they vote already too late for millions of them where joe biden stands on that issue . Is talked about the fact that he is not a fan of what is called packing. We also have to talk about what kinds of reforms we are interested in. How long, complex discussion it is clearly not whats on the minds of the people who are trying to use it as a distraction. They just want to talk about literally anything besides health care which the president is trying to take away on the court might take away in the pandemic which is costing so many lives and so many livelihoods in this country. Chris i have about a minute left so i need a quick answer here, you as you pointed out have joined the Biden Transition Team in september. One, how advanced is planning for a Biden Administration and two, would you like an official role in a . There is a Phenomenal Team working to make sure that there will be a successful transfer in the event that the Vice President is elected president , but lets be clear, thats just an academic exercise and lest we succeed in this campaign and most of my energy is going into making sure that there actually is a Bidenharris Administration and im saying that not just as somebody who loves public service. Im saying that as an american citizen. Chris and do you want to be secretary booted judge . Pete buttigieg . Ill go wherever im useful and for the next 16 days, i can be useful here in michigan and other swing states doing everything in my power because america cant go on like this. This chaos cant continue, the division cant continue and continuing to settle for the worst Pandemic Response in the developed world cant continue. Chris mehr, thank you. Thank you for your time this week and always good to talk to you. Up next, we will turn to Trump Campaigns Senior Advisor miller to discuss their strategy in the home stretch of the 2020 election. stasha vo when everything shut down, i thought,you know what . People have been asking for online classes for the longest it was amazing. Business kept growing and growing and growing. Im a thirdgeneration on this family farm out here in western pennsylvania. This farm has been here since 1949. Its a great lifestyle. Its not the one of the rich and famous but its a lifestyle that i wouldnt trade anybody for. Yeah i voted for trump in 16 and ill be the first to tell you i made a mistake. The pandemic, its been tough on everybody. You know, President Trump, hes not responsible for this fire. Nobody was going to be able to stop that, but he is totally negligent on how he informed the people. I mean, the guy gets blame for whats happening. If he wouldve did things right day one, we wouldnt be where were at today. You know, with joe biden i think we got a person thats got some compassion and hes got a real plan to get things going, turned around. I made a mistake in 16, i wont make a mistake in 2020. Im joe biden and i approve this message. Seeing what people left behind in the attic. Well, saving on Homeowners Insurance with geicos help was pretty fun too. Ahhhh, its a tiny dancer. They left a ton of stuff up here. Welp, enjoy your house. Nope. No thank you. Geico could help you save on homeowners and renters insurance. Geico could help you save on homeowners chris with millions of ballots already cast, donald trump and joe biden will square off this week in the final president ial debate. Joining us now, Trump Campaign Senior Advisor jason miller. Jason, i want to start with the president s comments last night in michigan about that states governor gretchen whitmer. Here they are. Youve got to get your governor to open up your state. Lock them all up. Chris gretchen whitmer, who was a target of an alleged plot to kidnap her tweeted this is exactly the rhetoric that has put me, my family, and other government officials lives in danger rated jason, does the president have any regrets about what he said about Governor Whitmer and then joining the crowd enchanting law corrupt . No, not at all. The fact of the matter is, many residents of michigan are very frustrated with the governor. They want to see the state open back up and were pretty swift to condemn the radical that was released by the democratic governor of delaware who was threatening governor will witmer, that was reprehensible and terrible and im glad the doj was able to get these psychopaths and put them away but the fact of the matter is, people in michigan want to get their state open back up. They feel its been too heavy of a hand hurting their economy and folks who have a salary can sit back and work out of their basement and say i can telecommute but the hourly wage earners cant do that. They have to get back to work and support their families. Chris all right peerless talk about covid19. More than 8 Million People in this country now have the coronavirus. There have been 220,000 deaths. On friday, 70,000 new cases which raises the question why does the president continue to hold these valleys where thousands of people are packed together, the vast majority of them without masks, and the president says this dilemma. Just everyone in that audience. Ill kiss the guys on the beautiful women and everybody. Ill just give you a big fat kiss. Chris why doesnt the president follow his administrations own guidelines at his rallies . As you know, we do pass out masks at the rallies and i encourage everyone who was attending a trump rally to put the mask on, not just giving it to you for Christmas Tree decorations later on. We also check folks temperatures and remind people to wash their hands, we give them Hand Sanitizer but as we get close to the election, people dont want to be living in fear again in their basement. We are going to be strong, safe, but we are not going to be scared here. And i dont see quite t
