Americans. So you think it is a disincentive to find a job if you have that extra 600 . No question in certain cases, where were paying people more to stay home than to work. Where do negotiations stand right now on capitol hill . And what is President Trumps concern on this sunday . By his tweets, it is not Economic Relief for tens of millions of americans. Is it ever appropriate for the president or president ial candidate to accept or solicit foreign assistance of any kind in his or her election . No, its not appropriate. Our founders would not bow before a king. Nor should we bow before the emperors. Questioning the attorney general and the biggest cs in the tech world. What concerns does he have . And were becking to see the first spacex crew land in the gulf of mexico. We began with isaias. Joining me now, chris pillone on the ground, well start with you. What are the conditions like where you are . Reporter yeah, hi, over the last hour weve seen the wind gusts start to pick up. Right now. Im just starting to feel the first rain drops in a new band thats starting to come through this area. It has been surprisingly dry here for most of the day. Earlier this morning, we did have some of the outer bands come through with really intense rain for a period of anywhere from five to ten minutes before the skies lightened up again. And the rain stopped. So ive been kind of watching out to see how long it would stay dry here. And like i am, were starting to see a little bit of rain but there is been no widespread rain in melbourne beach. Looking at the radar, all around us there has been. Just one of those things that we havent seen much of it. People here taking storm in stride. Not a lot of preparations. You didnt see a lot of boarding up like you normally would when a storm is approaching in florida. But people are kind of watching with a watchful eye to make sure things dont deteriorate quickly along the space coast of north. But you know, just to be safe, the local officials are telling people to take caution. Theyre trying not to evacuate folks if they can at all avoid it. They dont want to expose them to coronavirus in public shelters, although many of the counties here have at least a shelter or two open that are exhibiting social distancing measures and things of that name. And yesterday you are in Daytona Beach about an hour away. We saw the beach was packed. It looks like there are about three stragglers behind you. Have the beaches been relevantly emtoday . Yeah. Its pretty quiet. You see lots of couples or people with dogs walking the beach, especially when it has been dry. We did have a kite surfer out there earlier that was absolutely terrifying and remarkable to watchful but this area is certainly a lot less busy than Daytona Beach was yesterday. But certainly, a much worse day in terms of cloud cover and what not. Yesterday was picture perfect on Daytona Beach to spend the day on the sand. All storm, it seems to have missed its chance to restrengthen to a hurricane but it is still powerful, right . Reporter oh, definitely a powerful storm. We dome like the hear people say just a Tropical Storm system. Weve had major devastation due to Tropical Storm systems across the east coast. And we just got our latest update. The milliondollar question. Where will the landfall be . Right now, we really need to take tang to the storm surge and the advisories that have now been extended into georgia andh. This just coming in at 2 00 p. M. Weve seen in the last three runs a trend making its way more to the east. And thats what were currently seeing. Do i think well see a landfall for florida . It doesnt likely. The Northeast Quadrant of the storm is currently staying offshore. The heavier bands will continue to make their way in across the evening. Charleston off the radar, it looks like it will have landfall for North Carolina now. Wilmington to cape hatteras. Even areas of virginia well be watching as the system continues on push offshore. It goes back and now look at this, atlantic city. New york city as well. Tuesday, 8 00 p. M. Well be watching pretty closely. 50mileperhour winds. Thanks for that late breaking information. Well keep an eye on it. The stalemate continues as democrats and republicans are meeting this week in washington trying to hammer out an agreement on a Coronavirus Relief package to help americans weather the crisis. While tens of millions of citizens lose their Unemployment Benefits and face possible evictions, Top Democrats and Administration Officials have yet to come to an agreement. Kelly odonnell joins with us the latest. House Speaker Pelosi appeared on a. M. Joy this morning. Lets listen to that. This is about controlling the virus. Testing, tracing treatment, social distancing, mask wearing, sanitation and the rest. We have not had the administration implement a National Strategy. Were saying in order to open up our economy, in order to have our children be safely in schools, you must contain the virus. So are the two sides any closer to making a deal if it seems like the strategy is tacking it altogether . No deal yet and work is going on at the staff level today. Thats important because those are really sub Matter Experts who can put together the specific numbers and the legislative language. And then tomorrow, the principles like Speaker Pelosi, senator schumer, the democratic leader and the treasury secretary and white house chief of staff can meet again and say where they are. You can hear from Speaker Pelosi that shes looking at a comprehensive package that would include things that not only deal with Unemployment Insurance and benefits to go to videos but more money for state testing and for schools that ned to reopen and putting a lot more pressure on the administration to take a broader approach. Youre right in more critique of the response. Republicans are saying, since the money just ran out on the the 600 benefit, since that ran out on friday, extend for a week or two while they keep negotiating in order to not have a lapse of the money going to individuals. Democrats are saying, no, they dont want to do that. They want a full package. They dont feel like if they get some short term certainty that they will get an answer for a longer time. Theyre going for a bigger package and republicans are saying theyre willing to extend Unemployment Benefits but they disagree on the amount. 600 has been what people are receiving over the last several months. Now republicans are saying, it should be a percentage of income so it does not in some cases, actually pay people more to stay home. Thats a limited number of people but republicans are saying it needs to be a percentage of income. Other things people can look forward to if they get a deal, it is expected they would be another round of direct payments. 1,200 for an individual based on income. Money for a spouse and children based on your marches. Thats for people who have their jobs and those who dont. That would be another way to put cash in peoples pockets. Especially with so many people have been adversely affected about this. And of course, another thing you mentioned, eviction protection. That also randal out friday. If youre a renter, there has been a hold placed on a landlord start go any legal proceedings. That can begin again now so people could start the process toward losing their place to live unless these protections are restored. So there are a lot of big issues. And while they said they may have good progress, theyre still saying theyre not close. They dont expect a deal when they show up tomorrow. It could be a matter of days. It could be longer. We dont know yet. Okay. Thank you for that comprehensive look. The political world waiting anxiously for joe biden to announce his pick for vp. Which one of these women will be selected as his running mate . When will he tell us . One woman whose name seems to have moved near the top of the list was on meet the press this morning. Representative karen bass explained to chuck todd while she decided to go through the vp vetting process. Concerned with we are right now. 154,000 dead americans from covid virus.

Well, 12 years ago, joe biden was at a Dentists Office with his wife when he got a phone call informing him he was Barack Obamas choice for running mate. Four years ago it was tim cain speaking at a fundraise where he was picked up and taken to an airport. Youre the running mate. Were here looking for any signs that the former Vice President may be closing in on his final decision. Sources tell me he was hoping to fair poe finalist down to about three or four candidates and hoped to in some form be able to meet with them in special if possible. At least virtually. Have that one conversation that is so important. We havent seen as much of the former Vice President. We heard from karen bass and another short lister, stacy abrams making her case this morning. Lets take a listen. Former Vice President joe biden will announce his running mate in the coming week or two. Are you still in the running . Ive talked to the team. We know whoever joe biden picks will be a good partner to help us turn this country around, restore the soul of america and build back better. So no hints there from stacy abrams. She had been mentioned very early on but hand been par of the most eager conversations in the final days here. Kamala harris, elizabeth warren, karen bass, and soos an rice are some of the most often named at this point. But the ball is in joe bidens court. The whole process, he could change when he is making the final decision. Well be on the lookout any time this being. Hopefully sooner than later. Okay. Mike, well turn to you again and often. Thank you. Still ahead, bearing down on attorney general barr. Do you think it is ever appropriate to use tear gas on Peaceful Protesters .

Even as negotiations continue over the next Coronavirus Relief bill, lawmakers are seeking answers about foreign interference in the upcoming election and what they call big tech companies, anticompetitive practices. Both topics were the focus of the House Judiciary Sub Committee this past week. The committee grilled Tech Company Ceos on wednesday a day after questioning attorney general bill barr about among other things, whether the Justice Department was concerned about foreign interference in this novembers election. Is it ever appropriate it depends what kind of assistance. Is it ever appropriate for president or president ial candidate to semior solicit foreign assistance of any kind in his or her election . No, its not appropriate. I saw you had to struggle with that one, mr. Attorney general. The congressman you just heard grilling barr was rhode island democrat David Cicilline who joins me now. Eric holder also surprised by barrs answer there. You can hear the surprise in your voice. Lets listen to what em. That was kind of a layup. I didnt understand, ill make sure that all ballots are legally cast will be counted. I dont understand why this was a hesitance. That is what gives people pause about what role bill barr will play when it comes to trying to have a fair election. That was eric holder responding to whether all votes will be counted on election day. Are you concerned that this administration isnt taking election interference seriously right now . Im deeply concerned. At first we know he second foreign stance in the 2016 election. We know he solicited stance from the ukrainians. We know he is publicly called for others to involve themselves in our elections. When you hear the attorney general of the United States pause in response tom question, it sends shivers down my spine. The attorney general should have said immediately, it is never appropriate for the president or any candidate to accept foreign stance or shis it foreign assistance. But of course he is roy cohen. I want my own roy cohen and he got him in bill barr. Im very concerned that the Intelligence Committee has not been forthcoming with the American People about the name of the threat, we are responsibility to protect the integrity of our elections, to make sure the American People decide who is the next president. Not any foreign actor. Did you finds mr. Barrs tone to be combative. Youve been in that seat before. Youve questioned Jeff Sessions in 2017. What did you note was interesting about barrs tone . Well, barr, the attorney general was clearly there not on behalf of the merge people. Not recommending the rule of law. But really behaving as Donald Trumps personal lawyer. Everything hes done has been to protect the president. Whether it is dismissing charges against michael flynn, mischaracterizing the mueller report, ordering the military to fire on Peaceful Protesters. He believes hes there to protect the president. He fundamentally doesnt understand that his responsibility is to serve the American People, to uphold the rule of law and to honor the constitution and i think he was there spewing forth Donald Trumps talking points and really perform go for one person. The president of the United States, rather than the people hes supposed to serve, the people of this country. Youve had a busy week. You heard testimony from some of the big techs top brass this week. In your questioning, in your opening remarks, you said each platform has too. Power. You said it stifles creativity and competition and you said the dominance is killing small businesses. So what role can you can and should Congress Play in the future . Well, the antitrust Sub Committee has the responsibility to conduct oversight and to be sure that our Competition Laws are working and that theyre being properly enforced. We launched the first major antitrust investigation in 50 years, of the digital platforms and it is very clear, they have monday onlily power. They are exercising incredible dominance. They are gobbling up competition, crushing small businesses, theyre favoring their own products and services, theyre hurting consumers. There is a reason we dome have monopolies. It is too. Power in the hands of a single corporation. So we have the responsibility to update our antitrust laws to make sure theyre working. Well complete a report that will put forth a set of recommendations, legislation and regulation to make sure we get competition back into the digital marketplace so we can make rule for next great amazon or apple or google and really diminish the monopoly power that these four large platforms have. Along those hines, do you believe in big structural change that has been selected . Like breaking these companies apart . There is no question. Facebook Ceo Mark Zuckerberg acknowledged that he acquired whats app and instagram because he saw them as competitors. Thats monopolyist behavior if ive ever seen it. But they pushed it through. That was a mistake. They should not have. They need to do a better job. Congress has to do more oversight. There is clearly no competition in the marketplace. Consumer choice drives down prices. Creates new opportunities for entrepreneurs. Thats not happening. These companies have so much power in the marketplace. There is dome dominance that theyre either buying their competitors or crushing they will. Thats not good for the economy, for workers or consumers. Well keep an eye on what you and your Sub Committee do in the future. Thank you for being with us. Still ahead, face coverings. From fines to jail time. How some countries are enforcing mask mandates in the midst of the pandemic. Plus, how the character of our commander in chief could be redefining the presidency. Well take a deeper look at how President Trumps character got him in the white house. Whether it can also get him out in november. Can also get him o in november. Hold my pouch. Trust us. Us kids are ready to take things into our own hands. Dont think so . Hold my pouch. An army family who is always at the ready. So when they got a little surprise. Two . They didnt panic. They got a bigger car for their s
