Reporter joe biden will encourage supporters to vote early. But it appears hes keeping a light schedule and tapping surrogates with star power. We need joe biden. Magic johnson in michigan. Today andrew yang takes on wisconsin. Following a Campaign Memo warning supporters the reality is this race is far closer than some of the punditry we are seeing would suggest. Joe biden is trying to keep the focus on his campaign, but questions linger about the authenticity of the emails and veracity of their claims. I knew you would ask it. Its another smear campaign. Its right up your alley. A Republicanled Senate inquiry he says is prove thats he didnt enrich his family. Chris jacqui, thank you. Joining us now, former mayor pete buttigieg, a member of the bind transition team. This is an example of why years in washington is not always the same thing as judgment. He supported the worst Foreign Policy decision made by the United States in my lifetime, which was the decision to invade iraq. Chris mayor, i understand you were running against bind then and the choice between you and bind is different than the choice between trump and biden. Did you mean what you said then that former Vice President biden backed the worst Foreign Policy decision of your lifetime . I think invading iraq was a mistake and i believe biden said the same. We wont take advice from this president who is a destabilizing force literally everywhere he goes. Right now its 2020. The choice is between joe biden and donald trump who has been a disaster in every Foreign Policy issue at stake. We cant go on with four more years of this chaos and cruelty. A remarkable coalition of democrats like me, and an amazing number of republicans are coming together to say we back joe biden. Its time to end the Trump Presidency and move on. Chris i want to take you back one last time to the primaries. You went after joe bidens 47 years in washington. There you are. We need a perspective that will allow us to leave the politics of the past in the past. Turn the page and bring change to washington before its too late. You talk about the politics of the past. You sound like President Trump there. We definitely need to turn the page even more now than when i was running for president a year ago. What we need to turn the page from is a president who is incapable of handling a Public Health crisis that has cost a quarter million american lives and thrown our economy into a total wreckage and clearly has no plan to do anything about it. We have a clear choice between two very different futures in this country. Remember when everybody was hand ringing and saying how can the democrats possibly unify . Look how unified we are. We can all see whats at stake. I cant think of an election in modern history where the choice has been this stark. I know what side im on. Chris lets turn to the nomination of Amy Coney Barrett to the Supreme Court. Here is what joe biden said about that recently. The republicans packing the court now. Its not constitutional what they are doing. Chris i certainly understand why democrats are upset with the president rushing through this nomination. But it isnt Court Packing and it certainly is not unconstitutional. I think what hes saying is its not in the spirit of the constitution or our legal or political system for them to do this. What most americans believe as i do and joe biden does, the American People ought to have a say. We are not talking about an election coming up. We are in the middle of an election. Millions of americans have voted and want their voice to be heard. This senate cant bring itself under Mitch Mcconnell to vote on a relief package. There has been a bill brought to them months ago coming out of the house. They wont touch it. But they have time to rush through a nomination the American People dont want. Whatever specific words you use for it, the bottom line, the word i would use is wrong. Most americans agree with us on this. Its one more reason joe biden is winning this election. And if everybody votes, by which we are leaving nothing to chance. We have to work hard to make sure we turn out everybody. Most americans disagree with this president on the nomination. Most americans believe the president is doing a terrible job on the pandemic. Most americans support the Affordable Care act which they can take away from us in a matter of week, which is why the Supreme Court fight is so important. Our job is to get out that vote. Chris lets talk about the Supreme Court fight. Joe biden refused to say whether if hes elected president he would actually pack the court, not rush through a vacancy which exists, which is purely constitutional. But pack the court by increasing the number of justices from 9. Here is what joe biden said this week. Dont voters have a right they have a right to know where i stand before they vote. So you will come out with a clear position before election day . Yes, depending on how they handle this. Chris here is what i dont understand about that answer. As you pointed out, millions of americans are already voting. 22 million plus have already voted. If joe biden wants them to know what hes going to do on the court, shouldnt he have told them weeks ago . And you more than anybody else i can remember in the primaries, you used to talk about increasing the size of the court. I remember us discussing 15 justices. Is that what you hope a President Biden would do. My views havent changed. I think bipartisan reform with the aim of increasing the size of the court. We dont want to allow this president to change the subject, which is what they are always doing. There are all kinds of ending questions about the future of the american judiciary. But the precondition coverage of millions of americans might depend on whats going to happen in the senate with regard to this justice. My marriage might depend on this justice. The president and his supporters have a remarkable gift for changing the subject. We are not going to let them. We know the American People are with us on this issue. We cant let them just paper over or throw up smoke around the fact. Chris changing the subject isnt it mayor, if you are talking about the Supreme Court, isnt the question of packing the court which a lot of democrats including you talked about doing, and Vice President biden refusing to answer that, thats not changing the subject. Dont voters have a right to know before they vote, and its too late for millions of them, where joe biden stands on that issue . He has spoken about this many times. Hes not a fan of whats called packing. And we have to talk about what kind of reforms we are interested in. A long complex discussion that is not on the minds of people who want to use it as a distraction. They want to talk about anything but healthcare which the president is trying to take away and the court might take away, and the pandemic costing so many lives and livelihoods in this country. Chris you have pointed out the Biden Transition Team in september. How advanced is planning for a biden administration. And would you like an official role . It . There is a Phenomenal Team working to make sure there will be a successful transfer in the event the Vice President is elected president. But lets be clear. Thats just an academic exercise unless we succeed in this campaign. Most of my energy is going into making sure there is there s a bidenharris administration. Chris do you want to be secretary buttigieg . I will go wherever im useful. For the next 16 days i can be useful here in michigan and other swing states doing everything in my power. America cant go on this way. And settling for the worst Pandemic Response in the world cant continue. Chris thank you for your time. Well turn to Trump Campaign Senior Advisor jason miller. William 145 over 92. Alyson 180 over 111. Jodie 182 over 100 and i had a heart attack and cardiac arrest, and then a stroke. Vo your Blood Pressure numbers could change your life. Frank a lot of people dont understand, including myself, i didnt know, now i do, the impact of having a stroke. William my memory is shot. Alyson when i woke up, i couldnt speak. Mick if i would have followed a treatment plan, i would not be in this situation. Frank its a tough jouney. Vo lowering your high Blood Pressure could save you from a heart attack or stroke. If youve stopped your treatment plan, restart it or talk to your doctor about creating one that works better for you. Start taking the right steps at manageyourbp. Org frank its a new life but im going to make it better. Im coming back. Ask your doctor, check your Blood Pressure. Chris with millions of ballots already cast, donald trump and Joe Biden Square off this week in a final president ial debate. Joining us now Trump Campaign Senior Advisor, jason miller. I want to start with the president s comments last night in michigan about that states governor, gretchen whitmer. President trump you have got to get your governor to open up your state, okay . Lock them all up. Chris whitmer who was the target of an alleged plot to kidnap tweeted, this is exactly the rhetoric that put me, my family and other government officials lives in danger. Does the president have any regrets about what he said and joining the crowd chanting lock her up . No, not at all. Many residents in michigan are frustrated with the governor. They want to see their state opened back up. The anarchists were threatening governor whitner, that was terrible, and im glad President Trumps doj were able to get the psychopaths and put them away. Chris, folks can sit back and work out of their basement. But the hourly wage earners cant do that. They have to get back to work to support their families. Chris lets talk about covid19. 8 Million People in this country now have the coronavirus. There have been 22,000 deaths. D220,000 deaths. Why does the president continue to hold these rallies where thousands of people are packed together, the vast majority without masks, and the president says this. President trump i will walk in there and kiss everyone in the audience. I will kiss the guys and the beautiful women. Give you a big fat kiss. Chris why doesnt the president follow his administrations own guidelines at his rallies . As you know, we do pass out masks at the rallies. I encourage everyone to put the mask on. And we test folks temperatures. And we remind them to wash their hands and we give them a hand sanitizer. People dont want to be living in fear in their basement. We are going to be strong, safe, but we are not going to be scared. I dont see the protests from the media when we see blm protests or marches on washington. Lets do it safely and have some fun. I wish you would have shown the clip of the president dancing to ymca. Chris i get to ask the questions here and put on the clips. Let me ask you about this issue of masks. You say you hand out the masks. The president sends a very mixed message about the idea of wearing masks. I want to show you what he said, then show you what his own administrations top expert dr. Fauci said. President trump you have a story where they want and a story where they dont want. We need to put that nonsense behind us, well they keep changing their minds. Masks work. Physical distancing works. Avoiding crowds works. Chris does the president think there are two sides to this argument . There are two sides whether or not its safer to wear masks. The president has encouraged people to wear masks. You have seen that when he has gone through Walter Reed Hospital when hes not able to socially distance. Masks on their own though important are not the cureall. The people around President Trump will have their masks on and be tested and somehow he still got covid. Masks are important. The president urged people to wear them. If you are attending a trump rally, i urge you to wear your mask, be safe, wash your hands. We check temperatures before they come in. We are not going to be scared and live in fear. We are going to defeat this virus. If you want to defeat covid, vote for President Trump. If you want to live in your basement the rest of your life, joe biden is a good option for you. Chris the final debate they will hold this thursday, october 22. One of the president s own debate advisors, Chris Christie said he thought the president came in too hot. Here is one of many examples of that. That is simply your party wants to go socialist. I am the democratic party. President trump they dominate you, joe, you know that. Chris President Trump by count interrupted 149 times in that debate. Does he plan to be as disruptive in the debate this week as he was then or will he change his strategy . I still think thats about half as many times as the president was interrupted in his town Hall Thursday night. I think he won the first debate. I think im glad you bring up the debate. As we saw mayor pete brought up the issue of Foreign Policy. You had to help him with some of his clips from the primary talking about joe bidens disastrous foreign on is and endless wars. We were supposed to have a debate on Foreign Policy this thursday. Fox news confirmed the authenticity of the emails from the hunter biden chinese cash scandal which the New York Post is covering extensively. I wish we were spending more time on Foreign Policy. But when you talk about style and approach. I think President Trump will give joe biden more room to explain himself on some of these issues. Whether are you the chairman . Are you the big guy that we see articulated in these emails. Are you going to pack the court . I think he will get it on thursday. Chris ben sasse held a telephone town hall with some of his constituents this week and here is what he had to say about President Trump. The way he kisses dictators butts, and spends like a drunken sailor, and mocks evangelicals behind closed doors, his family treated this as a Business Opportunity and is friends with white supremacists. The president tweets, little ben sasse of nebraska, an embarrass to the state of nebraska. I didnt know jeff flake had a twin brother living in nebraska. But it seems ben sasse wants to go down that road. This isnt about ben sasse. We have seen between 13 and 22 of people attending who didnt vote in 2016. Im much more concerned about what they have to say and not ben sasse. Chris the president has been hitting the bidens hard for the alleged revelations in the hunter biden emails. Here is an example. President trump hunter made no money until his father became Vice President
