About the math. Herd what we know now. President trump says he announce his pick on saturday. It appears republicans have moved forward to try to fill the ginsburg seat. Moments ago senator mcconnell saying he will bring the nominee before the Judiciary Committee and likely fight to the finish. Ill speak with republican senator langford out of virginia, first Congressional Correspondent chad. We know they have the votes to try to advance a Supreme Court nomination this calendar year a president ial Election Year and the main reason here is that mitt romney the republican senator from utah today signalled he was okay forging ahead. I think its okay to tornado to the qualifications you looshg for someone an expert in the law someone that has fairness in judgment continue stint with the law. I prefer a strict constructionist meaning they look at the law itself and the constitution as opposed to looking in the sky an pulling out ideas that may or may not be appropriate to the constitution. Democrats hold a grudge after republicans block the senate from considering president obamas nomination of Merrick Garland for months. This time the republican leader isnt even hiding his decision. Hiding that his decision is nothing, nothing but raw partisan politics. According to the republican lead where the president and Senate Majority are the same party you can break rules to get justice. Just how fast the republican mayors can move Lindsey Graham says theyre trying to figure out Committee Hearings an milk malsays it will be up to him once that hearing is complete when they put this on the senate floor there. Are advantages and disadvantageses depending what republican you talk to doing this either side of the election but most indications are theyre going going to try to do it before the election. Keep in mind the government might shut down on september 30 if they dont work out a spending bill. The house of representatives was scheduled to vote on that today. Republicans including Mitch Mcconnell have balked. Theyre upset about farmers that are not in this legislation. Off we roll. Hitting for the cycle. No doubt. We know when the president makes his moves chief Justice John Roberts pictures that part of the story. The president will announce his nominee saturday. He got a rally in middletown and are told he will keep that on the schedule so its likely the nomination will come dion sometime in the afternoon and the president head to middleton to praise his new nominee the president also indicating earlier today his mind is almost made up if not fully there who the nominee will be. President trump im very close to making decision in my own mind and im going to reveal that on saturday and im doing that out of respect for Justice Ginsburg and having a service on thursday so i didnt really want to do anything to cut into the service and we have a lot of time. And the frontrunners at this point we are told are judge Amy Coney Barrett seventh Circuit Court of appeals shes the frontrunner. Judge barbara lagoa. The white house believes theres plenty of time to get the nominee through the confirmation process before the election but it will take an accelerated timetable and no room for error. Democrats say they will do whatever it takes to derail the nomination up to and including launching new impeachment proceedings against the president a threat the white house said sounds laughable. I think the American People are looking now and seeing nancy pelosi and Chuck Schumer talking about impeachment for executing your power in article ii section 2 its outlandish the things theyre suggesting an they seem to be doubling down on their kavanaugh approach. Didnt work out with kavanaugh wont work out this Election Year into the white house insists the president has the Constitutional Authority to make the nomination with 40 days left until the election and the senate has the constitutional duty to advise and consent for the president but no question bill this is going to be a night. Indeed. Thanks john roberts. Senator lanford from oklahoma. Welcome. Good to be backs. Mitt romney not done when do you think it could be happen . Dont know. Theres not a said timetable. We dont know who the nominee is yet. We assume its somebody thats been vetting before. Thats already been confirmed by the senate. These are the top candidates in Circuit Courts around the country meaning Judiciary Committees have gone through. Theyll do Due Diligence and bring the vote if it passes the committee so takes weeks to do it but we got to get a candidate first. November 3rd election day. Dick durbin the republican senator from illinois said watching the republicans squirm away from the position four years go. What would you say . I would say we are watching democrats squirm away from the decision four years ago because they were saying when the president makes a nomination it is up to the senate to actually do a hearing for those so its funny to watch us crossing over on it back and forth. Realistically historically when theres a senate of a Different Party an president Different Party in an Election Year the senate makes the decision. The president always has the power to nominate. The senate has advice and consent and the senate can choose to do that or not so in 2016 we chose not to and to be able to choose this time. Senator what is your preference vote before or after election day . I want to vote when its ready. I dont want to rush it one way or foot we are ready for election fine. The president after the election as well as before the senate still is senate before and after regardless the outcome of the election so as Ruth Bader Ginsburg said in 2016 there is no constitutional difference between the beginning or the end of a president ial term and so thats the same and i quite frankly believe trump is going to be reelected so theyll show theres no had your any this process. Two more minutes two more questions your committee is about to release findings on a probe of hunter biden in ukraine. What did you find no. Ill allow the report to speak for itself. We tried to gather evidence an information from american sources there are folks that accused of Going International and foreign sources. Weve gone to american sources to determine what happened during that time period and will release that out soon. Was there a crime or bad judgement . I will how the report to go from there. Senate cannot do a criminal investigation. We can just report what weve found. Does it come out this week . Ill be able to let the chairman release that. Your committee is on the russia probe issue of unmasking. Do you owe the American People an answer on this or are you finding out the deeper you go theres not much to it . The American People are owed an answer on this. We have a history as american one transitions he helps the next president be successful that was broken under president obama where they were planting time bombs for President Trump to be able to undercut him in that transition. That was a dramatic shift from the historical normgs on that we want each president to be successful because the American People are successful when that president is successful and we should have peaceful transition not try to under cut them from the ground. Understood your answer on that but its been four years. It has been four years but obviously theres been a lot that happened around with criminal investigations an other things. We are specifically looking at just this area of president ial transitions. Its one thing our committee has oversight for. Theres been a lot thats come out with the Mueller Investigation with different documents with the fbi hand inspectorgeneral that once those things started coming out we saw a pattern in the last few months of the obama presidency. You said time bomb. Give an example. For instance the different accusations, all the we are not going to give the next Administration Information about russia. We are going to try to under cut the National Security advisor at the very beginning so he cant be successful at the start. Those are things that set up the next administration to not be successful or to be able up future investigations for the president , which we now know were not warranted and at the time even the fbi knew they were not warranted for instance the famous dossier that so much of the investigation at that time period was based on before the election even in 2016 the fbi knew that that was a hit piece from the Clinton Campaign and dnc and continued to use it as if it was fact when they knew it was not. Do we deserve do the American People deserve to hear about that finding before the election . Will that happen . We are pulling as fast as we can to get the initial information out and to get those details out. Obviously we cant finish the investigation before that. Thats not a yes. Thats not a guarantee. Yes we will get the preliminary information out as much as we possibly can but there are a lot of people we are still visiting with to be able to go through the process to make sure this is right. This is not just about this election. Its about every president ial transition from here on out we got to make sure is right. Senator thanks very much. James langford from oklahoma. Sheldon from the white house will weigh in talk to him coming up.

President trump the people of dayton know better than everyone the terrible damage biden has inflicked over his nearly 50 years, 47 years to be exact. Can you believe it . For 47 years joe biden shook the hands of American Workers and then stabbed them in the back. So theres the president making his pitch in yesterday to blue collar workers, joe biden making his own pitch to working class americans saying the president forgot about them. Fox news contributor karl rove. I want to give our viewers an understanding what the strategy is for trump and biden and where these Campaign Stops are being made today. I mentioned ohio yesterday. The president yesterday was in dayton, so thats Montgomery County around here. He flipped that county four years ago karl. Ill show knew 2012 president obama won that county by 5 points. Later last night he went up to santa anas, columbus, cleveland here. This is toledo, ohio. He made a stop in fulton, ohio which he carried sizably in 2016 but did not carry lucas county where toledo is. Conversely and ill allow to you see this we watched joe biden go up here not talk about the Supreme Court he was east of green bay in a county where the president dominated in 2016. So i turn it over to you, the master of this to try and help us understand whats going on between the Trump Campaign and the Biden Campaign strategy now karl . Look. Youre right. The president yesterday want to fulton county, which is a deep red county outside three oechlt toledo is in northwest ohio, the blueberry in a red sea. The president wanted to be toledo tv and the margin that hes got in fulton henry wood ottawa and sandusky all of which are around toledo more than off set what Hillary Clinton got in lucas and in toledo. So he is going there to drive up the votes that he picked up in 2016 and try and drive it harder this year . Thats right and hes doing so by going into a market where the dominant center of the media market is blue but all the surrounding areas red so he appears in the red area and get the benefit from appearing there and still gets the Television Coverage that eminates from toledo. Im going to a count where trump got 60 percent of the vote. Why do i do that . A couple reasons. One you want to go back to green bay later and thats in the green bay media market. Kanawa county east of it and then manitowoc southeast of green bay. So what hes doing is going into the green bay market, getting on green bay tv but reserving the right to get in and out of green bay later on in the campaign. Its also manitowoc is where historically there was a big shipyard there. The shipyard many years ago north to door country into sturgeon bay tlut there is a lot of blue collar in manitowoc an hes trying to grab some of those working class people voted for donald trump bring them back to the democratic column. So biden goes there on a day when the Supreme Court dominated the news and doesnt mention it in his speech. He mentioned later with an affiliate out of green bay but during his speeches wearing a mask the entire time his message was about covid, karl. Is his campaign seeing something in the numbers with regard to covid . We know this. More people consider covid to be a health event the more likely for biden. Binded campaign is based on one big message, donald trump bungled the response to covid and deserves to be tossed out on that the seaboard National Messages are swing suburbanites and a subordinate message to the Democratic Party i will be quote the most progressive president since fdr. Look at the stances im taking in the Unity Commission and my call for big tax cuts and more government. Im going to be a progressive but those two last messages are subordinate to the big message which hes trying to run the clock out on that guy bungled the coronavirus response. Im mystified why he didnt address the Supreme Court yesterday so shortly after the death of Ruth Bader Ginsburg. We were curious. Karl well down. We will brink you back in a couple days and go through more. Good deal. Covid numbers 200,000 today. U. K. Responding to a surge in new cases with new restrictions. Also back here at home, tourism is off 60 percent in las vegas. That town is one step closer to getting back to normal. Well explain why in a moment.
