election because this is dangerous. >> actress kirstie alli pushing back on hollywood doubling down on her vote for donald trump. >> i'm really tired of career politicians. i like that trump has a lot of energy. he has more energy than any human being i have actually ever seen. ♪ ♪ oh, oh one foot in front of the other ♪ brian brian i believe the music went down quietly that would be my cue that the president will be here in two hours. be on the telephone he is going to have between two and five events the rest of the way. joe biden, where was he? does anyone know where joe biden and where is he going to be tomorrow? ainsley: is he staying at home until after the debate, brian. brian: that's an interesting tactic, ainsley. ainsley: look who is here with us? will cain. yesterday steve was losing his voice. will so, glad to have you. you will get an interview with the president today at 8:00. are you excited? will: i feel upstaged. i'm upyou staged by the put of the united states i will cope and zeal fun. have a lot of important questions to ask the president this morning. ainsley: there are so many questions and glad to have you here. two weeks exactly away from the election. two days until the last debate and we have the president on at 8:00. we have so much to get, to right, brian? brian: let's talk about what happened yesterday. you hear about the secret debate commission. not going to be partisan and kowtowed to whoever gets the nomination for each party. they will make their rules hard and fast and negotiations tough and not going to move. then out of nowhere last week they decided 7:00 in the morning hours after the vice presidential debate to get rid of all the post game talk and decide to make it virtual. the president hops on with marie and says i'm not doing a virtual debate and let the interesting thing about the moderator come out turns out he claims to be a bit of an anti trumper. that news came out that he has tweeted anti-trump views. he spent a lot of his working life working for ted kennedy and then for joe biden. that was controversial. then we come up to debate number three on thursday and we learn there's going to be a mute button. here's what the commission of presidential debates said in official statement. both campaigns this week both reaffirmed their agreement to the two-minute uninterrupted rule. the commission is announcing today that in order to enforce this agreed upon rule, the only candidate whose microphone will be open during these two-minute periods is the candidate who has the floor under the rules. >> that's true. we now have a mute button, ainsley for the at least the first two minutes of every answer for every topic of this debate. we will say the response many of the times when it comes to disagreement. at least when it comes to alleged bias even confirmed bias from the left has been silence, silence. silence from the big tech company. silence in the debate. now silence with the mute button. ainsley, this is something that could actually end up helping the president. i think letting joe biden talk is something the president and his advisers have talked about could end up being something to his benefit in this debate. ainsley: well, there was so much interruption in that first debate so this is the result of that. tim murtaugh who is with the campaign, he's a communication director. his problem with this is he says there is an awful lot of power being given to one staffer with the commission. and he says the commission, he feels, is biased and he feels like it's in favor of joe biden. he said they are bending over backwards to make things easy for joe biden. a lot of people are happy about it because they do want both of these candidates to have a chance to talk. the commission says it allows for the voters to have the opportunity to be informed of what the candidate's positions really are and it's to provide structure. two minute uninterrupted rule. ari fleischer says this. >> two-minute buzzer is only at the beginning of each segment. that's the only time the candidates will be muted. for the rest of it they will be able to go back and forth with each other. and as you know and i think you believe this, too. it would bejehovah the president to interrupt a little bit less. and as for foreign policy, there is still one segment on the debate thursday night for national security and that, of course, is the window for president trump to get into the various issues that he needs to get into. brian: national security will be the foreign policy. but, my goodness, don't you remember in 2012 when mitt romney and barack obama and then president was talking about russia? he said well, russia, you said, is our number one strategic foe, the 1980s called and they want their foreign policy back. barack obama ends up incredibly wrong on that and mitt romney looked so much better. those are the things that are being flushed out shoulder to shoulder in a round table. now there is no foreign policy heading. people are focusing on hunter biden's emails. i get that. different than that secretary of defense gates under barack obama came out and said joe biden has been wrong about every foreign policy and national decision over the last 40 years. don't you think joe biden should be confronted with that statement? don't you think joe biden should be confronted with the fact that he went up to general mattis and said we're pulling all the troops out despite your recommendations and in came isis who barack obama called a jv team and we're still trying to get rid of isis today? and don't you think that joe biden should be brought out and asked about the two islands that china made and promised not to militarize and they militarized them and he did absolutely nothing. here are just some examples of the debate that would help the american people vote, will. will: brian, i want you to think about this. going back to the format for one second if it's two minutes uninterrupt for both candidates in 15-minute segment, is that leaves a lot of meat on the bone 11 minutes for president trump and joe biden to go back and forth that can be on foreign policy that could be for issues in the first debate. the second debate being canceled a lot of leeway and meat on the bone. brian: i hope the moderator doesn't interrupted and say wait a minute, that's not the topic. ainsley: this is supposed to be a foreign topic debate. that's why they agreed. september a letter to the commission. they are upset with that they said we will participate but the rules have changed. and we didn't agree to that the controversy surrounding hunter biden's alleged emails that brian was talking about earlier over his business dealings intensifying this morning. fox news obtaining new documents involving hunt's laptop and the fbi. brian: griff jenkins in washington with those documents, griff. griff: good morning, ainsley. here we go. brand new images obtained by mike emanuel appear to show hunter biden's signature on a receipt for laptop repair. fox news has not verified the signature's is his. name appearing in the bill to section email and cell phone belonging to hunter biden. also recovered. fbi paperwork containing several serial numbers and hard drives taken into possession from the repair shop owner. this after fox news obtained four alleged hunter biden emails last week two about his business dealings in ukraine when his father was vice president and two about his 2017 business dealings in china. one of which verified by fox news as being authentic by a source on the email chain. this, as director of national intelligence john ratcliffe throwing cold water on claims russian agents are behind the alleged emails. it? >> is adam schiff. they said that the intelligence community believes that hunter biden's laptop and the emails on it are part of some russian disinformation campaign. let me be clear, the intelligence community doesn't believe that because there is no intelligence that supports that. >> meanwhile, a group of house republicans aimed amy diggs of arizona are calling on attorney general barr calling on a special prosecutor to probe the private business dealings and senate republicans looking to subpoena facebook and twitter thursday for suppressing the story. this is getting traction. we will see if it comes up in thursday night's debate it. will certainly, i think, coming up in your interview at 8:00 with the president. brian: yeah. thanks, griff. where it doesn't come up with facebook, where it doesn't come up is twitter. where it doesn't come up is almost all social media. if you listen to the other networks. this is the only thing they will say. andrea mitchell brings up the fact this is about rude being rg used for russian disinformation. how do you explain the bill with recall hunt's signature on it and the fbi picked it up 11 months ago and we have not heard anything about this. glen greenawalt who is known to be a left wing journalist with tucker last night on what he is observing. >> what is more dangerous than allowing the cia constantly to be manipulating our politics by making cover for the biden campaign by claiming anonymously that the russians are behind this story and therefore you ought to disregard it. even if the russians were behind the story, why does that alleviate the responsibility of journalists to evaluate these emails the way that this information is being disseminated. it's a union of journalists who have decided that their only goal is to defend joe biden and the will left against the president of the united states. working against the cia not to membership adversaries foreign governments but to membership the american people for their own end. brian: as unsavory as this is the key that would effect the personal people and how they vote, will, would not be about hunter and his addiction. people wife that. great people get addicted. horrible substances we see with fent all the time. the put should focus on why is he doing international deals and what did joe now about it and did he benefit from it. will: if i may, brian, you seltd there is complete silence and suppression from big tech companies like twitter and facebook. you are absolutely right. what glenn greenwald is pointing out total dismissal from other companies as well. the idea this is russian disinformation, ainsley is really back drop. is context. the idea that perhaps russia wants to play in this election as well. but there is no direct evidence that this story has anything to do with russia. and greenwald makes it very, very important point. what if they are? what if it's coming from russia. that does not mean it's not true. you would think journalists would know is this true? as we know now several aspects of this story have been authenticated we will see with the emails. see what has to say about dropoff. is that his? yet to be seen. store owner saying it was hunter biden who dropped off the laptop. several details we now know ainsley true. interested in finding out what is true. ainsley: 11 house republicans wrote a letter to bill barr saying the attorney general needs to get involved. we need special counsel to investigate. this bottom line to your point earlier, brian, was he using his dad's position to prop up the family? that's what we want to know. he is running for president of the yates and those questions need to be answered. listen, this is such an interesting election. there is so much enthusiasm. if you look at the number of people that have already vote you had. there are 31.7 million ballots already cast. and this is as of monday. so, today more people are going to be going to the polls. there are long lines at all of these polling sites. 53% of the people who have voted are democrats. which is interesting. we kept hearing republicans saying we need to go to the polls on the day of the election or go in person. these are people who have voted in person and people who have mailed in. but, the ballots, 53% are democrats. so a lot o a lot of republicanst there voting, too. brian: president of the united states show up in person if you can we want to make sure every vote counts. loot of people are critical of that a lot of people are and that's why early voting could be beneficial as opposed to mail-n. voting where they say there is more mistakes made by good people that might forget to sign it. wrong envelope. the signatures don't match for whatever reason. they don't count as opposed to going down there and doing the old fashioned way filling out a form where if it is pulling a lever. in terms of states. look at turnout in texas 4.1 million are pumped up to vote. 2.6 two biggest states, of course. florida, opened a couple of days 2.5 million. duval county 28,000 already have shown up. so that's, you know, florida is always going to be looked at. in fact, i don't see, will, a way for the president to get elected without florida. will: no. it's hard to see that what we are looking at here is what? record turnout when it comes to early voting. not just mail in balloting we are looking at here. people going to polls early. and the numbers suggest that democrats might be the majority of that right now. it will be interesting later. we will talk to the president of the united states whether or not that's concerning to the campaign. whether or not this is an indication that there is a lot of work to do come election day for people showing up at the polls. ainsley: yeah. a lot of people who are mailing in their ballots, the signature, jillian, we are going to toss to you because she has headlines. jillian you had a question what your signature has to look like it has to match your driver's license? jillian: you constantly hear your signature has to match your signature has to match. my aunt called somewhere in pennsylvania to ask them specifically to be sure. they said it has to match your driver's license. that's what she was told in pennsylvania. brian: jillian, just kidding, just a quick request. are you putting football in this newscast? jillian: to be perfectly honest with you my computer wouldn't start. i haven't read these yet. [laughter] brian: cowboy game skip over it because will is a little upset. jillian: i don't know that we can do that for you. ainsley: called cold reading. jillian: the computer wouldn't start. whole mess going on. it's final. let's take a look at you're headlines. deadline day for covid-19 relief talks. house speaker nancy pelosi and treasury secretary steve mnuchin will speak again today. pelosi has given the white house until tonight to get a deal done and pass it before the election. over in the astronaut, a vote on new founding for the paycheck protection program could happen as soon as today. a vote on $500 billion stimulus bill is expected tomorrow. >> deposition from 2016 will be unsealed. federal appeals court keep it private. deposition from the defamation lawsuit by a woman who claimed jeffrey epstein sexually abused her as a minor and that maxwell was involved. it has since been settled. maxwell is separately charged with helping epstein recruit young girls. she has pleaded not guilty and is awaiting trial. the senate is expected to work through the weekend to confirm judge amy coney barrett to the supreme court. the judiciary committee will meet thursday to recommend her confirmation to the full senate. depending on how fast the process goes, a final vote could happen as soon as monday. republicans are expected to have enough votes to confirm her. arizona cardinals flying high. >> down the middle, it's caught. 80 yarded to the house. just like that. jillian: will cain what happened, the cardinals crushing the dallas cowboys 38-10. didn't stand a chance. andy dalton first start after prescott season ending season. that was a rough one. running over the buffalo bills. 5-1. look, will, i will say, i mean, i am the farthest things from a cowboys fan that injury to prescott was absolutely devastating. i feel for you guys, that game though highlights hard to watch. will: great guy. you want good things to happen to good people unfortunately this is 2020. the reason you lose like that, see that guy is not supposed to run by himself. i don't know if you know that. somebody should probably guard him. brian: different defense hope he doesn't catch it. jillian: my team you need an offensive line. you have got to help the quarterback out somehow. brian: giants are getting ready for the super bowl. [buzzer] ainsley: university of south carolina won and tampa bay rays are going to the playoffs. the world series. brian: can we stop talking sports i have an interview coming up right after the break. ainsley: i'm going to push the mute button on you. only to ba, can you mute brian's button, please? ainsley: 17 minutes after the top of the hour. the director of national intelligence says the hunter biden's story is not russian disinformation. our next guest is working on the "new york post" reporting. what's telling is that huntington and joe biden haven't denied the story either. we have more on that coming up next. ♪ baby, you just ain't seen nothing yet. ♪ when joe biden wants an update on the virus, he calls on the nation's top health experts. working together, for all americans, is what joe does. when writing his healthcare plan, joe biden worked with both doctors and patients to make healthcare affordable by lowering premiums, reducing drug costs, and protecting people with pre-existing conditions. joe listened to both small business owners and workers to create his economic plan that cuts taxes for middle class families, creates 18 million new jobs in his first term, and raises wages by as much as $15,000 a year. joe biden's plans will help working families immediately by making the super rich finally pay their fair share. for joe, it's never been about ego. it's always been about the work he can do for working families. it's what he's always done. joe biden brings everyone to the table and gets it done. i'm joe biden, and i approve this message. >> tech: every customer has their own safelite story. this couple was on a camping trip... ...when their windshield got a chip. they drove to safelite for a same-day repair. and with their insurance, it was no cost to them. >> woman: really? >> tech: that's service you can trust. >> singers: ♪ safelite repair, safelite replace. ♪ expectand action. 16 people died! did he catch our bad guy? we're know as the charmed ones. you got one day to show me what you got. i want to fight. you need us harry. what a goal! bockey ball, hockey ball, you name it ball. i'm gonna be ready. just say show me peacock into your xfinity voice remote or download the app today. >> we know this whole smear on joe biden comes from the kremlin. let me be clear, the intelligence community doesn't believe that because there is no intelligence that supports that. and why have shared no intelligence with chairman schiff or any other member of congress that hunter biden's laptop is part of some russian disinformation campaign. it's simply not true. brian: the directors of national intelligence john ratcliffe pushing back on house intelligence chairman adam schiff that the urge hunter biden is russian disinformation ahead of the election. here to discuss this is ahmari. how does a russian pick up a laptop, sign hunter biden's name to it and why does the guy who runs the computer repair shop call the fbi? how does russia get involved in that? >> brian, this has been part of a surging pattern of paranoia for the past four years where democrats whenever they lose elections it's the kremlin's doing. bad reporting on a democratic figure it's the russians doing. whenever the snacks are missing in the fridge the following morning, it's the russians doing and not midnight snacking. so it's frankly ridiculous and of course so greater weight of the evidence to see the director of national intelligence reaffirm that this is not russian disinformation. this is solidly deeply reported material and more cooperated than any number of anti-trump stories. brian: email exchange sayin sayt yes and putting it up as we get it and confirmed it. you are too. i understand personal addresses not being public. if your opinion gets shelled, i want to find out the explanation. but if emails are proved authenticated and they are not up there. that, to me, shows incredible bias. can you lead to any other conclusion? >> none other. some asked me recently do you stand by the reporting? i said yes, of course we do and so do joe and hunter biden. neither of them has said that this emails are inauthentic. neither of them has said the drive doesn't belong to us. so, what else could it be but the fact that big tech, facebook and twitter are trying to use their levers of power to damage reporting on one side of the political debate. they are doing it to the oldest continuously published newspaper in america. founded by alexander hamilton. frankly shameful and demands action the political level. they are not just acting like companies political publishers. brian: whether a do you think so is the most intriguing thing you need answers to since you are writing what your reporting side has found. >> well, i'm personally more interested and i have been looking into what actually happens at these firms. and i'm doing a series the first piece appeared today. in today's "new york post" about how facebook employees feel about their censorship and some of them are open about the fact that their company tilts left and some of them are ashamed about it. some are very concerned about what that will mean from a regulatory point of view. so i'm talking to facebook insider and so that is more intriguing to me unaccountable powers that gets to shape what americans hear, read and think. brian: sohrab fears your source gets fired when f. they come out. they lean left. that personal confirmed it. >> absolutely. this person we were in a deserted restaurant and they were looking over the shoulder talking in hushed tones because these companies have enormous power to go after whistleblowers. this is like turn of the century type monopolies except more powerful because it's not just power over commodities like oil. it's power over people's minds. we know that circulation on facebook of this story was 50% lower than circulation of typical anti-trump stories. three weeks before an election. this is unaccountable power like we haven't seen in this country maybe ever. brian: they don't care because they want a result in two weeks. it doesn't matter. same thing we are seeing maybe perhaps with the debate. sohrab ahmari hope you continue to find sources in these organizations willing to speak to you. appreciate it?

will it go smoothly? >> >> this is a miserable idea. let america do the muting and why not shock collars. let's have a good time with it all the way around. the bigger story here is that we are the ones that don't get to hear president trump or vice president biden. they are going to hear each other. now you have vice president biden with donald trump disagreeing with him or interrupting him possibly and all you will hear is a stuttering vice presidential joe biden. haven't we heard enough stuttering vice president joe biden? is this really the imagery the democratic party wants to put out there? it's a mistake on their part more than anything. brian: i also think it's disrespectful for a future president or current president to be muted by some moderator or reporter at any time. i think it's a bad policy. but let's talk about another poll that i think you will find intriguing but not surprising. asked what role this presidential election has compared to previous years in terms of impact and mattering. 77% say there is going to be more of an impact on their lives as opposed to 2016, 71%. did you go back to bob dole in 1996 about 40% thought its would impact their lives. how do you explain the increase? >> well, i think for a lot of voters on the political left of course it's about hate of donald trump. whether that hate is warranted or not. for voters on the political right there is a lot of discussion we are not voting a choice between americas. we are voting for america or not america. and when you take a look specifically at midwest voters. we already know pennsylvania is the battle ground. take a look at ohio, michigan, wisconsin, my beloved indiana, nebraska, other places, agriculture and manufacturing are hugely important. and they are going to be taking a strong look at what their future is with a party absolutely positively no matter how joe biden denies it believes in the green new deal and implement parts of that if not an entirety of that so these things do matter greatly. so the stakes are absolutely increased. i think every election is the most important elections of a generation. i think most people would say that but there is this real feeling with the hate structure that's out there. with the violence that's out there. and with really these policies that absolutely destroy midwest people. there's a much more at stake there is a lot more on the line. will: a lot on the line. thank you for letting us know what may be on the line for middle of the country. tony katz, thanks, tony. check in on what's going on across this country. i don't like all this 2020 all the time. 2020 doing this and that to us. janice, got another thing, an early winter storm here? >> yes, we do. and it's very important information. we have to get out there to our friends across the northern plains and the you were midwest. take a look at it. it is cold enough for the snow. we have got several rounds of it. moving in over the next couple of days, look at the radar. do not adjust your set. that is actual snow. that's moving across these regions and not just sprinkling of snow, in some areas over 6 inches. so we have got a couple of systems that are moving. in also a cold front pushing across portions of the ohio valley and the great lakes. measurable snow over those pumpkins. take a look at that 6 to 12 even 18 inches in the higher elevations and it's going to be a wintry mix as we get close to the upper midwest. so travel is going to be impacted just take it easy on the roadways. all right. will and ainsley and brian, back to you. will: 2020 keeps hitting me, ainsley. ainsley: i know did you hear there is a meteor heading to earth on election day? oh my gosh. let's hand it over to jillian. she has more headlines for us. jillian: seattle's interim police chief vows to crack down on violent protest. it comes after a suspect is arrested for brutally attacking an officer with a metal bat. >> this is not a peaceful protest. this is not civil disobedience. this is illegal and this is violence. >> police say jacob hit the officer so hard it cracked his protective helmet. greenberg also faces charges for setting fires during the riots. a woman is charged with assaulting a vietnam veteran showing his support for president trump. dudley is accused of assaulting the 73-year-old man in massachusetts before bumping in to him and stepping on his veterans for trump sign. police say she pushed him to the ground astride to pick it up. but dudley claims she was attacked first. she is due back in court next month. sad news. rush limbaugh giving a somber update on his battle with stage 4 lung cancer. talk show host recent scans shows the cancer has progressed. >> tough to realize the days where i do not think i'm under a death sentence is over. it's a blessing when you wake up. it's a stop everything and thank god moment. >> the 69-year-old limbaugh first announced his diagnosis in february. brian: it's amazingly candid and the way he approached it the same way he approaches everything. i tell you what's on my mind and respect the listeners and tell what you i'm going through. always amazing. i just listened to the whole monologue before the show. it's amazing to talk that candidly about you don't know if you have tomorrow. i don't know many people that would communicate like that. ainsley: will and brian when i when i listened it to last night and woke this up morning first thing did i was thank god for waking up this morning because of his message yesterday. he is still making a impact and not giving up. is he fighter. will: you and i have had a radio show for years. be authentic and share yourself with the audience. it can help others. he is not giving up. is he still fighting. ainsley: we wish him the best. brian: still working every day. look, with the right to try and everything they can throw at this lung cancer, who knows, maybe they can have better news in a few months. meanwhile, actress kirstie alley standing up to critics who oea tacked her for supporting entrepreneurship. president trump. >> i feel people are angry and have the right to say what they want to say and i have the right to block them if i don't like the way they speak. brian: dean cain know what is that's like. he has been under the same attacks. he joins us next.

>> my brother from another mother. contain contain no surprise for you. one of the most monolithic what kirstie alley going to experience? >> it happens every time guy on fox. i get told what a terrible superman i am. some people get offended that i couldn't really fly. it's ridiculous. hollywood and i said before on the show hollywood very name is hypocrisy. people in hollywood speak out all the time tell you their political leanings and what they feel about this or that every award show everywhere you look or turn. that's what happens. if you actually have a dissenting opinion, then here comes the bullying. here comes the attacks. i mean, a guy very talented man tweets out shellie long was funnier than you. that's just an ad hominem if you don't have any argument you attack the person personally. i'm glad she is fighting back. kirstie, welcome to the club. will: you are in hollywood. i spent a good amount of years in the sports industry similarly monolithic. what percentage of hollywood do you think is secretly or silently conservative, too afraid to actually reveal what they believe? >> they quietly reveal it to me all the time. i say that percentage is, i don't know, probably in the 30%, maybe quiet 30, maybe 40%. you are talking about the celebrities and such, you know, it's maybe 30%. if you are talking about the electricians, camera people, all the real crew that make things happen, i would say you are closer to 60%. will: have you got a new film out called obama gate. let's take a quick look at the trailer. >> yes. >> my wife has my phone, full blown national security drivers. >> michael flynn investigation is still open, oopsy face. >> president obama wants to know everything we're doing. >> trump not ever going to become president, right? >> no. we'll stop him. >> you have got to tell me about obama gate i understand you are reading actual verbatim copy and tweets and information from the comey investigation and so forth? >> yeah. up like the film like the comey rule, everything we say in that show, everything in obama gate the movie was either tweeted or is part of congressional testimony or was their text messages back and forth to each other. more is coming out every single day. it's amazing they never thought they would get caught. they thought they were above the law. they thought they were doing the right thing. the thing about it after doing all this stuff that seems so important to what's going on actually hysterically funny they claim to be so moral and so above the fray and yet, they are having an affair. everything about them -- look, it's like hollywood, hypocrisy runs just rampant. the thing i didn't expect it's a very, very, very funny show. will: you read actual texts. scripted but nonfiction as well. >> they wrote it. will: on youtube 9:00 p.m. eastern. dean cain, thanks, man. >> thank you, will. will: two weeks away from the election joe biden won't have any campaign events events until after the debate is that a really good strategy?

[cheers and applause] will: i think not only is this election, anxiously, so important but this third debate there is a stark choice for americans to make. so many important issues from economic shutdowns to a pandemic. to racial tensions across this country. two different economic views of you who this country should be operated. it should be on display in this third debate so people can make up their minds in all this all important election. ainsley: the problem is, will, i liked what he was saying there he separating himself from joe biden. he is telling the voter if you vote for me this is what you are getting as far as policy is concerned. who do you like better. when you hear joe biden's responses is he says well, we might do, this or we might do that or i'm not going to give you an answer on this. we don't know where he stands on certain issues. he chose a very, very liberal vice presidential candidate to sit next to him. so, we don't -- i can't wait to watch this debate. i want to learn more about their policies and exactly where they stand and hopefully they will both answer the question. brian: don't have to tell the president is he an absolute monarch. a lot of things republicans pushed back on. moderate and say he is the guy in charge of the senate budget committee is going to this guy named bernie sanders who is a socialist. and the platform you helped write, is he a socialist. and the people under neath him are very powerful charismatic speakers called socialist apartment oc and the squad. put together a whole unit who talks about how they are going to push him to the left. he can say is he moderate at a time when we have balance of powers within our branches of government. that's what you are going to have. for those in the military. they say to themselves well, i don't think commander-in-chief he cuts the muster the way i was brought up and past presidents, keep in mind, one person hollowed out the military andth the other person built up the military. life tomorrow is going to be dramatically different. if you want to finance all these social programs. you just have an idea what california looks like because the second most powerful person after kamala harris, california, will be the speaker of the house. have you looked at san francisco lately? have you seen california lately? who is going to finance those programs? it's going to come right out of the pentagon. and for those people who are motivated against the polls for whatever reason, the numbers are staggering. listen to this. so far nearly 31.7 million ballots have been cast. that is as of yesterday. 22 almost 23% of 2016 vote total overall. we are 14 days away. will is pointing out how important some of these issues are and clearly americans are responding with record number of turnout already. that's the issue. dolls this come down to policy decisions. it's idea for america or come down to a personality. and your personal distaste or fandom of president trump's personality. more on the line than personality. more on the line than very deep differences than the ideas in this country. by the way michigan democratic party chair davora barnes says there is a growing concern that 2020 could be a replay. a rerun a deja vu of what happened in 2016. because of what happened to us in 2016, folks are still cautious. nobody is taking anything for granted, even the folks that were meeting at doors and talking ton 00 phones. so even those within the biden campaign beginning to get concerned that these polls do not show what they suggest an easy win for joe biden. there is reason to be concerned that it could look again like 2016. we ask an indianapolis based radio show host tony calts about that sentiment and what it's like out there right now in middle america. >> no, it's not a perfect rerun of 2016. i would think that's a ms. stake from trump supporters. but when biden campaign staff said hey, just so we're clear, he is not up by double digits. everybody needs to bring this back to reality. they cannot account for the shy trump voter. the secret trump voter. the silent trump voter. however you want to call it. the person that doesn't put up the art sign. the person that doesn't have the bumper sticker because they fear getting their car or house attacked. they are hearing this conversation happen. anything to set expectations. will: ainsley, tony pointed out if you look at wisconsin and michigan and pennsylvania, would many of these battle ground states they look similar, in fact, even better than president trump four years ago against hillary clinton. ainsley: hillary was winning battle ground states according to the polls. and after the election they were all tallied and donald trump took many of those states. so, remember hillary had to cancel the fireworks. don't plan your party. don't pop your champagne yet and don't buy the fireworks because this is a close race it looks like. brian: two things that the republicans have going for them that stand out. number one, they decided to have a ground game. coronavirus responsibly knocking on doors and joe biden's people didn't. might be in some ways but they are not in holistic way. in terms of voter registration in battle ground states. republicans have really beat the democrats to that. a bit surprising. and it looks like rnc is going to be putting something between 75 and $80 millioned into the presidential and senate campaign. they are far from done. mean while the controversy surrounding joe biden's alleged emails over business dealings are intensifying this morning with this thing called (work. fox news obtaining new documents involving hunter biden's laptop and the fbi. griff jenkins is live in washington with those documents, and, griff, it's hard to really push for this russian link when it seems to be delaware driven. griff: that's right, brian, ainsley, and will good morning to you. look, this is brand new images obtained by fox news mike emanuel. and it appears to show hunter biden's signature on an alleged receipt for laptop repair. now, fox news has not verified the signature. hunter's name also appearing in the bill to section. it also contained an email and cell phone number belonging to hunter. also recovered is the fbi paperwork continues serial numbers and hard drives taken into possession from the shop owner. this obtained hunter biden emails last week two. about business dealings ukraine when his father was vice president and two were about his 2017 business dealings in china. one of which was verified by fox news by a source on the email chain. well, now the director cold water on claims like this. >> we know that this whole smear on joe biden comes from the kremlin. let me be clear. the intelligence intelligence community doesn't believe that intelligence support that we have snyder intelligence with chairman schiff or no other member of congress that hunter biden's laptop is some part of some russian disinformation campaign true. the. griff: a group of house republicans led by amen amy biggs of arizona calling on attorney general barr calling on a special prosecutor to investigate the biden business dealings and senate republicans plan to subpoena twitter and facebook this thursday for suppressing and attempting to censor this story. and, of course that's likely to come numb your interview in about 50 minutes with president trump himself. after that he will go to pennsylvania tonight and perhaps talk more about it. brian, ainsley, will? brian: griff, have you been asked again to summarize 45 minute interview in three minutes. griff: i am going to miss that opportunities pass along because i have a 9:00 flight to get down to nashville while the recounting all of the highlights in the debate. brian: you are going to be leaving. griff: i have got to take off on you. meanwhile, 10 minutes now after the 10 minutes after the hour. brian: ahmari with the "new york post" he is the opinion editor. he has been listening and following all of this. and he has been astounded by what media has about this story. egg north side this story or blocked this story. he weighed in with us earlier. >> this has been part of a surging pattern of pair know past four years where democrats, liberals whenever they lose elections. it's the cream lineals' doing. whenever there is bad reporting on democratic figure it's the russians doing. frankly ridiculous in this case. solidly deeply reported material and more corroborated than any number of anti-trump stories that appeared over the past four years. brian: i just don't know how much longer they continue to block this story or say it's inauthentic or russian got the fbi say something now. will: i think americans should be able to figure out whether this story is important to them do so with truth and clarity in hand. this idea that this is russian disinformation supported by zero evidence. in facing heard from griff the director of national intelligence saying they do not believe it's russian disinformation. meanwhile, facts keep getting confirmed, emails, a signature of hunter biden at dropoff. testimony, this was hunter biden who dropped it off and confirmation that these emails were real and it was dropped off at the fbi a year ago. the facts keep come in. americans should be able to do what they want with that information. ainsley: all right. so no intel to support that it was connect to russia. the reason this is so important. we want to know, america wants to know if hunter biden got paid to set up meetings with the vice president of the united states who happened to be his father was this a for profit game they are playing. that's what america demands to know because this man is running for president. jillian has headlines for you. jillian: overnight protesters burn a pro-police billboard in portland, oregon. at least 75 protesters

minutes after the hour. coming up, joe biden says he will not raise taxes on anyone making less than $400,000 a year. what if the real cost of his economic plan? charles payne crunching the numbers for us. ♪ well, this has been an absolute [bleep] disaster from the beginning. this is real. that's the first thing. no pussyfooting around. we are not going to stamp this out unless we have a change of leadership. joe biden has a plan. he actually has a plan. he listens to medical experts. he wears a mask to show that everybody should wear a mask. joe biden will do what needs to be done so we can live a healthy, normal life again. ff pac is responsible for the content of this ad. >> joe biden will not increase taxes on anyone who makes than $400,000 a year, period. >> i'm not going to raise taxes on a single solitary american making less than $400,000 a year. you won't pay a penny more. it's a guarantee. brian: i'm not sure he was awake during that joe biden and kamala harris campaigning on the promise of not paying taxes on anyone making less than $400,000 a year. new study on the former v.p. healthcare energy and regulation plan would mean $6,500 in less median household income 2030. here to break down the host of making money fox business charles payne. keep in mind he wants to revamp and retrofit all buildings to make then green friendly. he wants to give out free college. who is paying for all this, charles? >> everybody is paying for it that works. everybody is paying for it that is looking for a loan and won't be able to get it in three years. everybody is paying for it that would need to sort of upward overall ability of a growing nation and national economy to change their life. just this one report alone that you referenced, brian, from the hoover institute says that this will cost -- this will lower the median household income by $6,500 by 2030. i want that to sink in. lower it by $6,500. it is absolutely mind boggling. by the way, you know, vice president biden was in office for 8 years. we do have a track record. we do know with these kind of high taxes, high regulatory policies result. in one thing i want to, you know, is say is that, you know, this whole notion about not raising taxes for people who make less than 400,000 is folly. you are going to make life more expensive for every single person and deny opportunities it's going to hurt. the average family is going to be hurting a lot more than those so-called fat cats. brian: other thing is for business owners trying to desperately get back on their feet horrible regulations around their neck. they are going to get $15 minimum wage. i want everyone to make a lot of money. but if these businesses can't exist on $15 minimum wage, what good is it to get $15 minimum wage and not have a job to go to? >> it's all ridiculous. there may be places where the minimum wage could be $20. that should be decided by the private market. may be business owners who want to pay lowest paid employees $30 an hour. maybe is really great or better than everyone else maybe they get $30 and everyone else gets 15. all these business decisions. right now small businesses are and i'm glad you brought them up. they are in the eye of this whole thing whether or not we do enough to keep them alive and reinvigorate economy coming back better than anyone thought it would so they can get back to the pace they were. the good news is that they're hanging in there they is a special spirit to begin with, these special business owners and entrepreneurs. brian: i thought it was interesting 50-cent came out yesterday own special way in way we can't print basically i'm off the biden bandwagon and said i'm voting for trump. >> well, you know, he saw a report that said his tax would be 62% of what he makes. is he looking at himself have you got to be kidding me. brian: he is right. >> i come through all of this is life. i make it big. i have a few hiccups i make it big again. i want my children to have generational wealth. i want my family to do well. you know, what i'm going to get for all of this effort you are going to take almost all of it while i'm alive and the rest of it when i die? i mean, this is it. this is what my reward is? by the way, it's not just rich people. i really want people to understand poverty levels for black americans under president trump in three years up 3.2 percentage points. last year poverty for black americans was the lowest it has ever been. for hispanics, it was the lowest it has ever been. in 8 years under obama and biden it only dropped half of a percentage point. keep that in mind 8 years half a percentage point. three years 3.2 percentage points. we have shared prosperity. we have an economy that is really growing. everyone can benefit. these punitive policies of economic policies crucial the very people you said you were trying to help. brian: charles payne that is the reason everyone is going to be watching your town hall in one week. it's called america votes together. you want everyone to start participating now in what way? >> well, first of all, watch the show every day. but, don't lose faith. don't lose faith. right now, business startups are through the roof, brian, americans know what they have to do. do not lose faith in the american dream it. is there and it is available for everyone. brian: i want everyone to send their questions to charles payne to invest it in you at fox business.com. next could you say. we are giving you weekly time, right, charles? >> a lot of questions. i can't wait. it's going to be fantastic, thank you, brian. brian: i love your book each side left and right shoulder in the glass case. thanks a lot, charles, appreciate it. meanwhile the senate set to vote on a

>> yeah, well, you know, it's a catch-22 for all of us, but particularly those of us that sort of exist as internet creatures. i built a thriving and successful business using youtube, using twitter. using facebook. so i want these companies to be successful. i want them to be transparent. i think someone subscribes to me follows me or likes me whatever it is. i want them to be able to get my content. that's the unsaid exchange we have with these tech companies. but ted cruz is right. we don't know what's going on. we don't know what the algorithm delivering us. we don't know if we are being shadow ban you follow somebody on twitter don't see their tweets because they don't line up with whatever is politically correct in the day. this new york post story, the idea that twitter was suppressing that story regardless of you who true the story is, i mean, we know that there is plenty of things that are spread online that aren't quite true, for example, the very fine people hoax that joe biden and the democrats push constantly where we know if you just watch the full video after charlottesville trump condemned the white supremacist and the kkk. if we are going to censor things, i think people want to see it as fair. the bigger issue here is i don't think people trust zuckerberg. they don't trust jack at twitter anymore. so even if they are telling the truth, which generally speaking i don't think they are and i don't envy their position either. i think they have lost the trust of the losers. once you lose that trust, i don't know how you get it back. brian: so far the president has been blocked evidently 65 times. joe biden hab blocked none. done jr. says i have been shadow banned tweets fraction what they were four or five years ago. this "new york post" story. we don't see any problem with the atlantic story where a third person something the president denied saying becomes an international event that happened two years ago but is timed perfectly for september. so that fact, that stays. the "new york post" story emails and actual addresses and now a receipt with hunter biden's signature on it, that can't go forward. it's not hard to see the difference here, dave. >> of course, and correct me if i am wrong, guys, no one from the biden campaign has actually disputed the story. the idea that the story has to be sourced in a specific way for it to be okay on twitter is crazy. let's not forget there were two and a half years of a russian collusion hoax that everybody on twitter was tweeting about all the time that turned out to be totally false. if we were banning or suppressing views on twitter related to whether every single comments was true or not, i mean, basically everybody would be banned from twitter. so, it's that sort of a symmetry that people are fed up with. i think ted cruz is right here. the question is we have got two weeks till an election. and has the ship left already? is there anything that the government can possibly do in two weeks to clean up the mess? i don't know, because i think the way we have been manipulated at this point. we are really the rubber is meeting the road here. and it might be too late. ainsley: dave, i know you attended a trump rally in beverly hills. we want to know what that was like. we are seeing the polls and looks like biden is ahead like hillary was in 2016. see the rallies, the boat shows beings the caravans. what was the turnout like? i will fell you something else. i happened to go one last saturday by accident i saw this huge trump rally and jumped out of my car and wanted to see what it was like. it and it was an absolute love fest. i went back this past saturday intentionally. there were thousands of people. let's be very, very clear about this. it was the complete reverse of what mainstream media tells you black people and asian people and gay people and straight people. and everybody was having fun this were torns of american flags. not only the energy and support and happiness and the joy and smiles but the cars driving by. this is beverly hills. this is the heart of lefty hollywood. santa monica and row deo drive. all those fancy stores. pretty woman. all of that. and the cars driving by that just happened to be driving by that are not necessarily trump supporters. the thumbs up. the honks. i mean, i think something is happening and it's just not reflected in the polls. i think people have had it. people have just had it with the idea that the streets are going to be overrun with violence that they can't say what they think. and really reject the far left and trump in a bizarre sense is the only thing standing up against it. will: all right, dave rubin, thank you for getting up early with us, dave. ainsley: really early limit california. >> you got it. will: coming up. you get to watch, watch this. don't go anywhere. as the first u.s. space force recruits are sworn in live right here on "fox & friends." that's happening right after the break. ♪ don't touch container tip to your eye or any surface. after using xiidra, wait 15 minutes before reinserting contacts. got any room in your eye?

>> well, that is far bigger than jimmy carter. i mean, his son walked around like a vacuum cleaner. they say this is the laptop from hell. they say right in the laptop that, you know, the big man has to get 10%, and then in another case they say 50%. this is 100% -- and even if he doesn't get, and he lives like a king, even if he didn't get all of this money -- and everybody has known this in washington for a long time. this isn't surprising, nobody's surprised by this. but even if he didn't, you can't go to china, have the son walk out with $3.5 -- $1.5 billion to manage. you can't get $3.5 million from the mayor of moscow's wife, $3.5 million, and you have no experience, you didn't have a job until your father became vice president. it's disgraceful -- brian: what if he he says i don't know anything about it -- >> and the media refuses to cover it. brian: mr. president, what if he says i don't know anything about it. i hear romania's coming up. he's a grown adult. >> romania's coming up. no, they say right in there that the father is going to get 10%. to be honest with you, even if it wasn't, you can't go with your father and every stop you make you pick up a billion dollars. you can't do that. you can't do it. but he got a kickback. you know, the old days they used to call it a kickback. there's no better world. the vice president got a kickback, and everybody knows it, and they've known it for a long time. will: brian brings up the debate and how you'll address this in the debate. we want to talk about some of the changes in just a moment, but one more on this hunter biden issue. the mainstream media is and many on the left are calling this a russian disinformation campaign. many of the facts are being confirmed and authorized, and some aring asking will you appoint a special prosecutor to investigate this. eleven house republicans have requested it. investigating these issues that have been raised as well as corresponding legal or ethical issues that might be uncovered from the former vice president's 47 years in public office. will you be doing that? >> we've not to get the attorney general to act. he's got to act. and he's got to act fast. he's got to appoint somebody. this is major corruption, and this has to be known about before the election. and, by the way, we're doing very well. we're going to win the election. we're doing very well. if you look at all of what's happening and all of the people that come in and don't come in, you take a look all around the country, and with texas early voting, those are our votes too. we're doing well in -- i just got a report. we're doing great all over. forget that, this has to be done early. so the attorney general has to act. ainsley: mr. president, the commission has changed the debate rules for this last are debate in two days. they have implemented a two minute uninterrupted rule, so they're going to have, basically, a mute button. they're going to mute your microphone while joe biden answers and then mute his when you answer for the next two minutes. what are your thoughts? >> well, i think the whole thing is crazy. this commission, i had problems with them four years ago where they stifled out my mic during my conversation with crooked hillary. and, you know, they muted my mic. they did a whole thing -- they did this to me already. they modulated it, and they actually had to write me a letter of apology. these people are not good people, this commission. a lot of funny things go on with them and, frankly, kristin w e lker, who i know, i just went through savannah guthrie, she was out of line. she was totally out of line. and so was chris wallace. i know you'll defend him, but he was terrible. it was like two on one, is and that was just fine with me, but at least they should admit it was two on one. the funny thing is biden doesn't even do a show. he'd get killed. he couldn't do chris' show. but kristin welker is terrible. she is totally partisan. her father and mother are big supporters of joe biden for a long time, they're supporters of the democrat party, and she deleted her entire account. and i was the one that told you people about scully. scully was no baby either, and then he got caught lying with his famous, oh, they hacked my account. you know, every time somebody gets caught, they always say they hacked my account. here we go again, so he had a problem. but kristin welker is far worse than skull lu. i do it anyway. this is the way it is. it's is so set up. it's incredible that we've been winning for so long. when you get right down to it -- brian: you're a sports guy by trade, you've got to adjust to it. having said that -- >> that's not father. i mean, it would be nice to have a host that could be not necessarily a contributor to the campaign, the democrats. there are people out there that could be neutral. brian rune right. chris said he was neutral, but just moving on to this debate -- >> neutral for who in for himself. brian: what's going the change for your strategy? regardless of moderator, format, mic, what's your strategy? are you using anybody different to get you ready, and after studying and dueling with joe biden once already, what have you learned? what's going to change? >> well, joe lies. and he lies a lot. and he'll say things that are crazy. and he'll think people are supposed to believe hum. and they take ads and put ads in on things that never happened. far worse than hillary. hillary was a much smarter person than him, but they play a much dirtier game. and she was dirty, i mean, look, with the e-mails and everything else, i'm not talking about that. she was terrible. brian: so will you -- >> they play a more dishonest game. they will put an ad in about something that never happened. very dirty players. proven brian will you answer the previous question like mike pence did and then answer their question? >> well, look, i do my own debating. i do fine, and a lot of people said i won. if you look at the hispanic, very interesting, they did a hispanic population poll, and i was at 77%. a lot of people thought, look, when somebody stands there and he lies, lies, lies, i like to challenge it at the time because you don't have time to go back. will: mr. president, just to follow up on what brian's asking, after the first debate there were many who suggested if you just let joe biden share a his ideas, america might not be too keen on those ideas. ari fleischer said the prime prt should interrupt less. will you change your strategy? >> well, i may do that. they said if you let him talk, he'll lose his chain of thought because he's gonzo. and i understand that. but as he's going down the line and issuing lies, you know, general lu it's okay to, you know, really attack that. but there is a chain of thought that, you know, there were a lot of people that say let him talk because he loses his train, he loses his mind, frankly. but look at yesterday. he walks out of a store, and the media's standing there, and they asked him what flavor ice cream did you get. i mean, think of this. brian: i know. >> they never ask me a question like that. i want them to someday, but they never ask me a question like that. what flavor ice cream did you get. brian: just real quick, the other area in which foreign policy is not coming up unless you go there, unless you bring hum there, and if you look at joe biden's foreign policy, he's the one whose former secretary of defense said joe biden's been wrong about every national security decision for the last 40 years. they killed gadhafi, he's never been asked about isis pulling out of iraq and calling them the jv team, at least the president did. >> right. brian: he never answered about how china was able to build islands and militarize them, and they did nothing. are you going to go out of your way to do that? >> i will, but there's a lot to talk about in a few minutes, and this was supposed to be a foreign policy debate, and new all of a sudden we're talking about things that are not foreign policy. and, frankly, it was a change that they made that was far bigger than the mute button, i mean, frankly. but they made a change, and it shouldn't have happened. it shouldn't have happened. ainsley: [inaudible] >> you know that. this was all going to be foreign policy, and all of a sudden out of nowhere they made this change. now we're talking about other things. ainsley: all right, tell us -- >> this is not appropriate. look, the commission has lost tremendous credibility. they lost it with me four years ago when they modulated the mic. i understood that. and you look at -- look at bob dole. he wrote a letter saying that he knows the people, and these are knot the right people to have. he was very nice in writing that, bob dole. ainsley: mr. president, have you heard back from the commission? i know your campaign was raising objections about the fact that this was supposed to be a foreign policy debate, and they sent a letter to the commission. your campaign agreed to the debate because you agreed to focus on foreign policy, and when you look at the topics, that's not included. >> well, we want the debate, and i know they're discussing it. yeah, they're talking back and fort with the commission. they want to have it be at least not fair, because it can never be fair with kristin welker. it's not going to be fair. it would be like scully. or like chris wallace. there's nothing fair about this debate. but that's okay. hey, look, savannah guthrie, i knew what i was getting into. i've been with her for a long time in terms of interviews. that was crazy. i mean, she was jumping out of her seat, but it was a good interview. we got very high marks in that interview. i thought she was totally out of control. total out of control. will: president trump, you've had a very busy schedule, you have a very busy schedule coming up this week, in pennsylvania, tomorrow in north carolina. vice president pence is going to new hampshire and ohio, cincinnati and portsmouth, new hampshire. last night or yesterday we heard you in arizona talking about the very stark choice americans is have between a potentially socialist future and economic recoif. i want to bring this back because you told brian there's a lot to talk about, not just foreign policy. so in this debate this week, what do you think is the starkest contrast, the number one issue voters need to consider different between you and joe biden? we've had a lot of different issues come up, law and order, the economy, covid, shutdowns. but what's the number one stark contrast in your mind between you and joe biden? >> okay. so many individual things whether it's second amendment or energy or all of these things, they want to raise your taxes, i want to lower your taxes, regulations, all of that. but the bottom line, the american dream. the great american dream versus being a socialist hell hole. because they're going to turn us into a socialist nation. we're going to be no different than venezuela. and i'll tell you what, it can happen. it can happen. venezuela 20 years ago was unbelievable. and now they don't have water, they don't have food, they don't have medicine. the only difference is we'd be much bigger. but that's what it is, it's the american dream versus a socialist hell hole. will: and what -- i'm sorry, what specifically would you point to with joe biden and kamala harris that would take us to that socialist hell hole? >> well, everything, you know? socialized medicine. they want you to go to a hospital if you have a cold, take away your health care. they want to take away 180 million in credible health care plans that people love. i mean, you can go down a list forever. they want to take away your guns, defund your police or at least radically change your police. look what they're doing in minneapolis are, in seattle. they want to destroy your police forces and at the same time talk away your guns -- take away your guns. ainsley: i understand melania's going to join you today. this is the first time we've seen her since -- >> we will. she's doing great. ainsley: how's she doing and how's your son? >> i'm going to erie, pennsylvania, today. that was always a dems -- ainsley: you got 49% in 2016, hillary got 47%. what's your message to those folks and all the folks in the battleground that states? >> you know, the economy is coming back so strong. we built the strongest economy in the history of the world, and then the plague came in, the china plague, and they're very, very -- we are not forgetting it, and china knows that. we're not forgetting it. the plague came in, we closed it down, saved millions of lives, and now we've opened it up. we don't only have a v, we have a super v. we are recovering at a level that nobody else in the world has recovered. and we went down less, and we've recovered faster. you know, 7.8, unemployment, 7.8 doesn't sound good, but i remember your show three months agoing, four months ago, they were talking about possibly having unemployment of 42%. brian brian right. >> we're at 7.8 and heading down rapidly. brian: mr. president, right now with cases you have 36 statements with increase in cases. you have europe all going up. wales is basically shutting down, nine cities in paris are under restrictions, and the u.k.'s on reduction depending on the city and the time. if the numbers keep going up, and we don't want to shut down again, what is the plan to live with it while staying safe from it? >> well, we are living with it s and we're having the vaccines coming out very soon. with or without the vaccines, we're rounding the turn. but we have the vaccine coming out very soon. we have the therapeutics that are incredible. i they tell you what, i had regeneron. i was not exactly feeling the greatest, and i felt like superman a day later. i got better very fast. very, very fast. what they've done under this administration in terms of the fda, things that would have taken, brian, two or three years i got done in two weeks. and the fda's been great. they've all been great. now the vaccines are coming out, that's going to help us. but we're doing much better than europe. europe is getting hit pretty hard. we're doing much better, and we will never shut down. we shut down, we understood the disease. we're protecting our elderly, unlike what they did in new york where they did such a bad job, cuomo. we're protecting our elderly, we're taking care of those -- because they are susceptible, especially if they have heart or diabetes or problems. but we understand the disease. no, there will be no shutdowns. will: mr. president, you bring up governor andrew cuomo. he said he's skeptical of a potential covid vaccine. we can play for you right now what he had to say. >> i don't believe the american people are that confident. you're going to say to the american people now here's a vaccine, it was new, it was done quickly but trust this federal administration and their health administration that it's safe? i think it's going to be a very skeptical american public about taking the vaccine, and it should be. we're going to put together our own group of doctors and medical experts to review the vaccine. and if they say it's safe, then i'll go to the people of new york, and i will say it's safe. with that credibility. will: governor cuomo saying people should be skeptical of a potential vaccine. what do you say to the that, mr. president? >> so he's going to put together the same group of people, probably, that he used to put together in the nursing homes where 11,000 people died because they put heavily infected people in with the general population. is that the people he's going to use to help us out? no, it's not -- it doesn't work that way. there's a case of a politician that's so sad. we have johnson & johnson, pfizer, moderna, the greatest companies in the world. this has nothing to do with government. and they've come up with incredible vaccine es. and when the politician is a real low life, when a politician is willing to say that and kill people and scare people from using something that's going the to be great and really solve a bug problem, they ought to be ashamed of themselves. he probably listens to his brother fr e do. he has bad ratings on cnn. he probably listens to hum too much. ainsley: let's talk about the confirmation of judge alreadymy cone -- amy coney barrett. chuck schumer is saying this is too rushed. listen to this. >> republican majority wanted to jam this nomination through before the election. the republican majority is running the most hypocritical, most partisan and least legitimate process in the history of supreme court confirmations. instead of ramming through a supreme court nominee in the most hypocritical of circumstances, the republican majority should be working with democrats on a real, comprehensive covid relief bill. ainsley: mr. president, what's your reaction? >> so this is a process that justice ginsburg said a president has four years, not three years, and we're not ramming anything through. we have a lot of time. i mean, we have a lot of time. and she's phenomenal. she's become a star. the way she answered questions, the mind, her background, her intellect, i mean, she's become a major star in this country. people love her. i tell you what, if we ever didn't ram her through, as he said, we'd have a problem because people would be ang true as hell. they love her. she's going to be a fantastic justice of the supreme court for many, many years, and all we're doing is during my term. i'm here, hopefully i have another four years. but i've had three, by the time at the end of the term, 300 federal judges and 3 supreme court justices. that's an incredible thing. that's a record. and there's never been that before. so, you know, they're unhappy, but president obama couldn't get people through. i mean, he was unable to get people through. he was unable to do a lot of things, to be honest with you. brian: we'll see how that goes because it's supposed to be a vote in committee this week and a vote on the floor next week -- >> it's going to go well. brian: mr. president, it's been 91 days since any type of rescue package came from congress that you have signed, and we know the american people are hurting. it's been so long, the hospitality industry, which you're very familiar with -- >> sure. brian: they've been devastated. if you're a waiter or an actor, you've been destroyed. steve mnuchin, the treasury of the secretary, and the speaker have been speaking for a long time, and something could be offered as early as today. what could you tell us? mitch mcconnell isn't exactly onboard with those negotiations. >> well, he'll be on board if something comes. let me just explain. it's very simple. i want to do it even bigger or than the democrats. not every republican agrees with me, but they will. i want to do it even bigger than the democrats because this is money going to people that did not deserve what happened to them coming out of china. to just put it very simply, we want to do it, but nancy pelosi doesn't want to do it. we'll see whether or not she changes her mind. we want to do it because people need help, and they should get help. even though the economy is strongly coming back -- brian: mr. president, she's at $2.4 trillion, and you want to go bigger than that? >> she's at 2.2, i would like to go -- i would be willing to go more because i think that, number one, i view it differently. we get the money back, the government. it gets the money back ultimately anyway. and it's better than unemployment, and it's better than all of the other cause associated with the alternative. so i want to go, i would rather go bigger than that number, but we'll see. but here's the problem, she doesn't want to do anything until after the election because she thinks that helps her. i actually think it helps us, because everyone knows that she's the one that's breaking up the deal. now, they are talking. let's see what happens. but i would ratherrer go bigger than her number. brian: senator thune says he doesn't want to go close to $. >> [inaudible] brian: would you pass with mostly democratic votes? >> i'd take all the votes you could get whether it's democrat or republican. brian: okay. >> a lot of democrat votes, you'll have republican votes too. i'm okay with that. doesn't bother me at all. ainsley: why don't they just vote for that amount? >> because nancy pelosi doesn't want to approve anything. look, she's made it very difficult, very, very difficult. we're talking about money going to the american people that got hurt, and they shouldn't have been hurt. this was caused by china, they shouldn't have been hurt, and we shouldn't be punishing them. and we're punishing them because of nancy pelosi. now, maybe she changes her tune, and i can tell you there is a little bit of that, and that'll be a very positive thing for the american people. will: mr. president, certainly stimulus for those who had their government -- or had their businesses shut down by the government by mandate is important. >> right. will: but helping people by opening up seems to be one of the biggest economic stimuluses we could offer. >> that's right. will: i know you've had a back and forth with dr. anthony fauci, but balanced against rising cases in many states, what's the right path on opening up you our society? >> well, we have to open up. we live with it, and we open up our schools, and i'm the one that got big ten and pac-12 football back. i got that back. that wasn't coming back, i got it back. hope people realize that. that was pure and simple ill me or whatever, and i'm very happy. we have to open up. now, barron, a young man, very young, strong, he got it too. by the time i said to the doctor how's he doing, he said he's all better. you know, it's different. young, 99.9% young kids have to go back to school. they have to get back. now, if you look at different states, michigan, we won the case against her. the only one that was allowed to violate was her husband, okay? the governor of michigan. we won the case. of michigan's opening up because, you know what? the supreme court said it was unconstitutional, what she was doing. now, north carolina, pennsylvania, some orr states -- all run by democrats -- have to open up. look at new, it's like a ghost town. what they've done to new york, it's a ghost town. brian: i know. we're in it. >> not to mention, all of the crime is coming out of democrat statements. republicans are doing incredibly or -- on crime, on economics. everything coming out, crime and other problems are in democrat-run states. i hope people realize that. ainsley: let's talk about taxes because 50 cent says he's not going to -- brian: you mean the rapper? ainsley: the rapper. biden says if you make more than $400,000, i'm raising your taxes what is your plan? >> what he said is much worse than that. he's going to -- look at "the wall street journal." they just came out today just in terms of life, $6500 over a short period of time, more they're going to have to pay. he -- my tax plan was the biggest tax cut in the history of our country. and regulation cut, but the biggest tax cut in the history of our country. he wants to violate that. that would take away child tax credit, $1,000 a child, it would take away $2,500. it would take away -- you know something that will happen if they ever did it? energy. look at, you're buying $2 a gallon gasoline now. nobody thought that was possible. that will go to $5, or $10. you won't even be able to buy a car. you'll go into a depression the likes of which this country has never seen at least since 1929. who knows, that was a pretty bad one. but -- if he gets in. what they will do is everything, it'll be a disaster. they're going to double, triple, quadruple your taxes. they actually say we're going to quadruple. to spend it on the green new deal, this ridiculous green new deal, which makes no sense. designed by aoc plus three. didn't even study the environment, now they're telling us about the green new deal. no, no. what they're doing is crazy. and their taxes will quadruple, they're going to take your guns away. the whole thing is crazy. the whole plan is crazy. it runs on the bay us that they're going to run your taxes. brian: of course, aoc is not the candidate, but biden's energy man is the framework based on the green new deal by senator markey and alexandria ocasio-cortez which includes retrofitting, i think, every building in the country to make it more environmentally friendly. and i imagine that they're going to go to the pentagon to take some of that money, because it's just not going to be anywhere else. >> so they want to take a building, and they want to make the windows from nice windows to little windows. oh, that's just fine. i know all about construction, that's wonderful. let's make them tiny little windows because you're going to save two cents on energy. these people are -- this is the most important election in the history of our country. and people have to get out and vote, because what they want to do is crazy. we will never allow this country to become a socialist nation, and that's what they're trying to do. will: mr. president, if i may, i'd love to return to the coronavirus pandemic for one more moment. i want to ask you about this back and forth you had yesterday with dr. anthony fauci. certainly, it's a doctor's, a scientist's job to give you their opinion. it's the president's job to balance all the competing interests. but the american people seem to trust anthony fauci, and yet you guys have had a rough back and forth. over the last 24 hours, you're suggesting if you had listened to dr. fauci, many people would have die. >> he's a democrat. he's actually a very good friend of the cuomo family. he's been there for a long time, i leave him there, and he's been wrong. first of all, he said don't wear masks. i'm sure you have that clip. he said many things. he said let the people from china that are heavily infected, let them come in. he admits that he was wrong, and he admits that i saved thousands of lives. and it's good if people trust him, but it's not that the people -- reporters like him because they think he's against me. he's not really against me. but he did say something that we kept him off television, and yet we allowed him to do "60 minutes" the other night. he couldn't do it without our approval. how do we keep him off it's but, by the way, do "60 minutes"? he's a nice guy, not a good baseball thrower. the only thing i say is he's a little bit sometimes not a team player. but he is a democrat, and i think that he's just fine. it's a view. we have other -- scott atlas is fantastic, but they go after him so much. he has a different view. by the way, everybody has a different view. doesn't mean they're wrong or they're bad people, but people have different views -- will: but to be clear, mr. president -- >> but i make the decisions. and we've saved millions of lives by the decisions i've made. we closed up our country in the midst of the greatest economic boom in history and saved millions of lives. now it's opening. so we did the right thing. and we're doing much better than europe, and our recovery -- will: to be clear, prime minister, are you and dr. fauci at odds? >> no, i'm not at odds. i like him, he's a terrific guy. ainsley: let's talk about law and order. in these democratic cities, portland, seattle, new york city, we've seen riots take place, protests take place. if you win and the people who did not vote for you go out in the streets and we see a lot of what we saw a few months ago, how do you plan on handling that? because it worries people, and businesses are -- >> they shouldn't be worried. they shouldn't be worried. we're for law and order, and if we win, they'll be exhausted. they've had it. they'll be exhausted -- ainsley: what if they're not? >> last time they spied on my campaign, and they tried to overthrow the president. and if it wasn't me with phony stories like russia, russia, russia, and now here goes schiff again, shifty schiff again. you know, the laptop was done by russia. the biden laptop was conceived of and done by russia. brian: right. >> i mean, people, get it. i mean, you've got to understand what this is. these people are -- i don't even say sick. they're horrible, horrible liars. it's a terrible thing. schiff is a danger to our country. fortunately, we have a dni, director john ratcliffe who's a fantastic man, and he put that out very, very quickly. he's in charge of the whole ball game, and he put it out very, very quickly. no, no, they are exhausted. if we win, they're going to be exhausted. and it's going to come together. you know what brings it together? success. and we were coming together, i've explained this over the last few months, we were coming together so beautifully. the best employment rates and unemployment rates, african-american, hispanic-american, asian-american, women, diplomas, mit plus and no mit plus. everybody was doing great. and we were getting calls from let's say the other side, people that you would least expect, how do we get together? and i was saying it to them, and it was all great. and then the plague came in from china. and we had to go back to the drawing boards. brian: right. >> but success was bringing it together, and we're going to have that success. next year is going to be a very successful year unless someone comes in and raises your taxes by four times and more. that's going to kill it. everyone's going to leave. all these companies that i brought back in because of the taxes, they're all going to go back to where they came from. they're all going to leave our country. brian: kirstie alley was on with sean hannity last night, and she said i'm going to support trump again. here's what she said. >> trump has a lot of energy. i like that he -- he has more energy than any human being i've actual ever seen, and i think that the big thing i was mentioning in that tweet was that i'm really tired of career politicians, i'm tired of paying people to do nothing and take way too long to do it. brian: and she got blowback. your thoughts? >> well, i think she's great, and i've always liked her. and i just think she's got courage. you know, she's hollywood. she did very well in hollywood, by the way, really well. but i think she's great, and i think she has great hair, okay? [laughter] brian: mr. president, just to follow up, when you look at your election now, where you're at in 2016, where you're at in 2020, a lot of people see a lot of similarities. in the big picture considering everything that's develop on with the pandemic, the impeachment, facebook, twitter, would this be a bigger, harder win than your first one if you're able to pull it out? >> no. it's easier, and we're way ahead of where we were, by the way, especially when you see numbers that are coming in. and we know now for a fact we're way ahead. no, look, this election was over until the plague came in from china. we were so far ahead, the economy was the best ever. you know that, i mean -- you know that. but this election was over, then the plague came in, and it affected, you know, this country, and it affected many other countries. look at other countries where a leader was doing a good job, and, you know, the plague came in, and many of those people are gone. not their fault. they're gone or they were hurt or they were not the same. i had to go back to work, and i went back to work. and we've done an incredible job both with covid -- we saved millions of lives. you know, the press doesn't want to give us credit for that. just like they cover up for biden's incompetence and theft and all of the things that have gone on, they don't want to give us any kind of credit. but that's okay, we are doing great. the reason this is easier is because we have a great track record. if we didn't have, i wouldn't be talking to you right now. ainsley: mr. president, i know you probably already heard rush limbaugh talking about his cancer progressing yesterday. >> right. ainsley: just in case the audience hasn't heard it, let's play a little bit of it. >> it's tough to realize that the days where i do not think i'm under a death sentence are over. it's a blessing when you wake up. it's a stop everything and thank god moment. ainsley: so, mr. president, who's the next voice for conservatives when it comes to radio? >> well, before we even talk about the next voice, there's never going to be a voice like rush are. ainsley: i know. >> do you think, rush was with me -- unit know rush at all -- i didn't know rush at all. i heard about his 39 million people, the biggest anywhere and the most powerful and all that, but i didn't know hum. and all of a sudden, you know, i started getting word that there's this man, rush limbaugh, who's so supportive of you. from the day i came down the escalator, he was supportive of me. you have to talk to him, i didn't have to meet with him and wine him and dine him. he was just with us because he liked what i was saying. and i became friendly with him. he got the presidential medical of freedom which is the biggest award you can get, that and the congressional medal of honor. rush is an incredible man, his wife katherine, incredible people. and he is putting up a fight like, you know, this has been going on for a long time. he didn't have exactly a great prognosis when he heard about it, and this is now taking it to the next level, what he said yesterday. but he is an incredible man, and that's very sad to hear that. however, he will continue to fight. that's the one thing i know about him. he's incredible. brian: so, mr. president, from here on in there you've got 14 days left, your camp says you have, you're going to have a minimum two, as many as five events a day in order to get this victory. do you believe, do you believe that it's going to be won in these next 14 day, or do you believe to a degree that this is done already? >> i think we're in great shape. i mean, you know, i really do. you've seen it, brian, you've seen it -- brian: well, i see the crowds -- >> -- show ever, you're doing great and, will, you're doing great on saturday. brian: prime minister, i see the polls -- mr. president, i see the polls in north carolina, dead heat. florida, a couple of points off. michigan, eight. what are you seeing? >> so we're up in florida, way up. we're up in north carolina. all you have to do is look at the numbers. i mean, we're way up. we're up. i think we're substantial. pennsylvania's pretty evening. pretty even. we got a ruling yesterday that was ridiculous where they can count ballots after the election's over -- proven brian john roberts. >> it's crazy. we got a strange ruling from the supreme court yesterday. that was very strange. but i think we're doing great. the rallies areallies like -- rallies like in history, many people have said it, many of the enemy have said it, we are having rallies the likes of which nobody has ever seen before. arizona, michigan, no matter where we're going, north carolina, we are having rallies, florida we had a rally, nobody's ever seen anything like it. there has never been rallies with this kind of love and this kind of numbers. i mean, we're 40,000, 30,000. and sometimes we give them a one-day notice. we end up -- and you look at biden, the other day he had a rally, and four people show up. four people. you know, they go into circles, they stand in the middle of a very nicely done circle. the person that puts it up is very good. but, no, we're having rallies the likes of which nobody's ever seen before. will: mr. president, you're in a unique position, on thursday night at the debate you're going to get a chance to ask joe biden about court packing and antifa questions. i hope to hear the answers, but you seemed a little disappointed when you said all they ever ask about is his milk shake. so after a 40-minute interview, do you want to tell us what your favorite flavor is? >> yeah, i would, in about a year or two when everything is so perfect, i'm going to let you ask me that question. i'm going to give you the nicest answer, you know why? because i'd love to have a question like that. in the meantime, we're in the middle of a battle we have to win. but it is very unfair. here's a guy who's involved in the second biggest scandal, because i consider spying on my campaign to be the biggest. this could supersede it maybe, you know? this could supersede it. he's committed crimes. he's a criminal. he's committed crimes. and they ask him about a milk shake. what flavor, what flavor ice cream do you like. i never had a question like that. and they also, they give him the questions, and he reads the answer off computers. that's never happened to me. i mean, brian, to the best of my knowledge, brian, you've never done that with me. do you agree with that? brian: i agree. i'm just looking through my notes, i never found out those personal choices that you -- [laughter] done behind closed doors. will: you're going to have to wait another year. ainsley: mr. president, are you nervous about thursday? >> no, i'm not nervous. look, i've been doing it. we've been doing very well. it's very unfair. the moderators, very unfair. i know it so well, i mean, i know her so well. it's a very -- it's a stacked deck. it's incredible, and i think one of the reasons that i do have a surgeon popularity and we do have these tens of thousands, 25, 40,000 people showing up to rallies, i really think they appreciate the fact that i fight back. because i'm fighting against these, i'm fighting the democrat party, the fake news media, the lame stream media which mostly -- and i congratulate you people, but mostly is on that side. and nobody even knows why. and it's been like that for decades. it's not, you know, me. i may have exacerbated it because we've had victory. but, you know, and now on top of it big tech, i mean, you have to see big tech, you put something out, they cancel it, they -- look what they did to charlie kirk. how good is charlie kirk? he's sort of mainstream, but he's conservative but he's mainstream. and they want to ruin him. these people are bad people. brian: and, mr. president, last question -- >> section 230. of section 230. brian: i have one last question for you. i have watched three huge parades through long island, one through fifth avenue, and no one's organizing it. they're just organizing it through social media. >> right. brian: and they want you to push to win new york. i asked for the poll numbers, and it says you're trailing by 20. with everyone out of the city because of what a hell hole it's become, and with this passion in upstate new york, do you want to give a shot at new york? >> i do, i really do. and even -- i don't know if you saw the other day, i was in california, did you see the crowd in california? it was 100%, and it was massive. the plus said they'd never seen anything like it. look, california's run badly, new york is run horribly with cuomo and what they do and what's happened. and a lot of people have left for florida, they've left for other places. i think, you know, traditionally you can't win -- that's why it's very tough for a republican to win. you can't win new york, california, illinois. so three big states. all of them are run badly, and new york is run so badly. and i say why would i lose new york, you know? now, upstate new york, long island, all those areas i win by a land shrewd. it's only that core -- land shrewd. and that core is rotting because of bad management, bad politics. the core of new york is rotting and people have left. no, i'm going to give it a shot. they say you can't as a republican, and it hasn't happened for many decades. but i'm going to give it a shot. i think you're 100 right, brian. indiana auction all right, mr. president. thank you so much. >> thank you all. thank you very much. ainsley: president trump's former press secretary, sarah sanders, going to join us right after the break. we live with at&t and we are well past the honeymoon phase. ocupado tom. at&t, what's this i hear about you advertising a 100% fiber network? only like a fraction of my customers can get that. that's it?!? you have such a glass half-empty attitude. the glass is more than half-empty! you need to relax tom. oh! tom, you need a little tom time. a little tt. stop living with at&t. xfinity delivers gig speeds to more homes than anyone. brian: president trump joining us for a wide-raping interview, kristin fisher the has cable, and she has some highlights for us. hey, kristin. >> reporter: hey, guys, good morning. president trump said the first few minutes of the interview this morning really pushing the attorney general, bill barr, to appoint a special prosecutor to investigate joe and hunter biden. democrats saying this is the all one big disinformation campaign coming straight from russia, but just yesterday a group of house republicans called on bill bah to do -- bill barr to do the exact same thing, and president trump saying he would like that to happen before the election. >> we've got to got the attorney general to act. he's got to act, and he's got to act fast. he's got to appoint somebody. this is major corruption, and this has to be known about before the election. >> reporter: that is just 14 days away, and we're just 2 day away from the third and final debate. and this morning the president was asked, you know, if he, perhaps, going to change up his debate strategy from the first debate, maybe interrupt just a little bit less. he actually said this morning that he may do that. >> the interesting thing, they said if you let him talk, or he'll lose his train of thought because he's gonzo. but i also understand as he's going down the line and issuing lies, it's okay to really attack that. there are a lot of people who say let him talk because he loses his train. >> reporter: now, it has been 91 days since congress has passed any sort of coronavirus stimulus package. the two sides have really been stuck. you've got house speaker nancy pelosi at $2.2 trillion, the white house at around $1.8 trillion. but the big headline this morning is president trump saying he might be willing to go above that $2.2 trillion number that house speaker nancy pelosi has been pushing. >> i wanted to do it even bigger than the democrats because this is money going to people that did not deserve what happened to them coming out of china. now, to just put it very simply, we want to do it, but nancy pelosi doesn't want to do it. we're talking about money going to the american people that got hurt, and they shouldn't have been hurt. this was caused by china, they shouldn't have been hurt, and we shouldn't be punishing them. we're punishing them because of nancy pelosi. >> reporter: so watch closely throughout the day to see if these two sides, house democrats and the white house's top negotiabilitiers, are -- negotiators, are able to get closer to a deal. as for the president, he's back on the campaign trail today heading to pennsylvania for another one of those big rallies. guys? ainsley: thank you so much, kristin. let's bring in sarah sanders, former white house press secretary and author of "speaking for myself." hey, sarah. >> good morning. ainsley: we're two days away from the debate, two weeks away from the election, and he is not happy with the moderator of the debate, says he's worried she's going to be biased, he's not happy with this mute button. what do you think about the changes to the debate? >> well, let's not forget the last debate had to be canceled because the commission changed the format and announced it without ever talking to either of the two campaigns. finish i think that it's been very clear throughout this process that it's probably time to shut the commission down and let the campaigns negotiate the deals for the debates among themselves. the commission, i think, is an outdated and certainly, i think, has a lot of bias as we have seen in the selection of a couple of the moderators. i think it's time to end the commission, let those campaigns make those determinations and negotiations among the two of them. will: sarah, what do you think about the president's answer on the change not just on debate rules, but on strategy? there was suggestion maybe he'll interrupt less. what do you think about that strategy? >> i think he's exactly right. if he lets joe biden talk long enough, i think he certainly will make plenty of mistakes on his own without having to have the president call each one of those out. that doesn't mean the president shouldn't hold joe biden's feet to the fire. i think the president absolutely has to make the contrast between what america looks like under joe biden and what it will continue to look like under him. more americans trust this president on the economy than joe biden. he needs to remind people of that. the majority of the country says that they are better off now than they were four years ago. that's because of the leadership of this president. he should be with making those contrasts and making sure people know what america will look like under a joe biden presidency. we can either continue on the path of prosperity and safety and security under this president, or we can go down the path of socialism under joe biden and kamala harris. that's not what americans want, and i think if he makes that contrast, it'll be a very strong and winning message for the president on thursday. breep brian when your dad, was clear your dad was not going to beat donald trump, you dumped to the trump team in 2016. can you compare what it was like then on the eve of an election compared to now? you know the numbers, the talk, the media. instead of wanting the job, he has the job. can you compare the two? >> well, i think, you know, before it was a lot of rhetoric, and it was a lot of talk about what donald trump would do when he became president. now he has a record of accomplishment to run on. he has had a tremendously successful three and a half years as president, almost four. he has completely remade the judiciary, rebuilt the military, defeated the isis caliphate if, created historic tax cuts, trade deals like we've never seen before. in every area of our country, every demographic and every american doing better under the leadership of this president. finish he didn't have that record four years ago to talk about that now he does. he can compare that with the absolute and utter failure of 47 years in government that joe biden has. the president's record could not be more strong to go up against joe biden's pathetic record. i think that is such a huge difference for the president and one he needs to continue making and hammering home in these final days leading up to november 3rd. ainsley: when you look at seattle and you look at portland, you see what happened to new york a few months ago with all the riots and the non-peaceful protesting, many new yorkers i know in this city that i've talked to are nervous and worried that if he does win, what's going to happen? will people who didn't vote for him be upset, and will they be out this in a non-peaceful way? what do you recommend if that does happen? does the president work with these democratic lawmakers to come to some peaceful solution? is that even possible? >> well, i'm hopeful that donald trump will win on november 3rd. clearly and decisively and we won't have that problem. i do think america will be in big trouble if joe biden wins the presidency because the type of chaos and madness that we saw in seattle and portland is the type of liberal mob chaos that will take place in communities across this cup. joe biden has shown he's unwilling and unable to stand up to the liberal mob. donald trump has proven time and time again not only is he willing to stand the up to them, but he can actually defeat them. he dud it in 2016. i'm hope offul that he'll do it again, and it will be a clear and deiceoff win on november 3rd, and we won't have to worry about that transition of power. will: we just have about 30 seconds left, i want to ask you this, the theme seems clear. two weeks before the election you've said it, the president said it, american dream versus socialist future. if i asked you to give me the policy you're pointing to that kamala harris and joe biden would drive america to a socialist future, what is that policy? >> well, i think it's a complete takeover of your life. they want the government to decide everything for your family. i think i can make better decisions about how to raise my kids, protect my kids, provide for my kids can than the government can. that is the most clear difference. it is not just about one policy, it's about overall intrusion of government dictating the way that we operate every dayment the president was right when he said earlier they would take over health care, they would take away your guns. there are so many areas that they want to control and turn our entire country into a socialized country. that's not what makes america amazing. that's not what makes america the greatest country on the face of the everett. it's having -- earth. it's having freedom-loving patriots to live freely in our country is what's special, and they want to take that away, and i think that would be absolutely devastating to whoer. proven brian sarah huckabee sanders, thanks so much. >> thanks for having me. brian: the president of the united states is going to be in erie, pennsylvania, and tomorrow two events, one in new hampshire, one in ohio. and i have plenty of time to go through joe biden's events, because he has none. that left me with time. ainsley: have a great day, everyone.
