you can see the piece on the bottom of it. that is the piece that gathers the intelligence for this what loan. we ve known about this being in the skies over our country illegally for several days at least. some say going back months. so far, we have not done anything to impede this balloon from collecting surveillance over the country even though it s of clear violation of u.s. airspace. no word from the president of the united states at 3:00 eastern time. we ve known about this since last night really. twice now he has avoided shouted questions. watch this. mr. president, when will you remove the balloon? when and how will you remove the balloon, mr. president? [question inaudible] are you worried about the balloon? martha: apparently not worried about the balloon as he walks across the lawn there. we know that it launched this instrument from china. you can see on that quick animation. maybe we can play it again from mainland china. now it has hovered over montana, h
howard: who s hunter biden s own voice played in a delaware courtroom that plumed the depths of his past addiction. the media are giving the trial heavy cover act as they should, but with no one coming out to talk to reporters, it feels very remoteful but it s an undeniably tawdry tale with lurid testimony from the widow of beau biden who became romantically involved with hunter after her husband s death. the argument in this trial boils down to this seemingly semantic question, whether hunter biden was doing drugs when he signed a gun purchase form and said he wasn t or just abusing alcohol at the tile. fortunately for doj special counsel, hunter biden recorded the audio, book of his memoir, so the jury not to hear his firsthand account. crack takes you into the darkest recesses of your soul as well as the darkest corners of every community. i had done it everywhere it had been in the last few months. i could get off a plane in timbuktu and score a bag of crack. i hard
Chinese surveillance balloon that is crossing our country right now? no, i m not surprised for two reasons. it s pretty clear the white house doesn t have a good answer or a strategy on how to confront china about this. clearly there s questions that you were raising before about why it wasn t just shot down over montana. that s number 1. number 2, the poll evidence you cited which shows on every issue the president is getting negative ratings and discussing anything other than the good economic news today would only reinforce those numbers. martha: china is clearly testing the president, doug, to see what he will do about this. why do you think that he is so dead set against commenting on this? i think because they lack a strategy. i ve been in the white house before, martha, as you know.
Jewish voters support democrats. look at numbers, ap nrc came out, 36 percentage for trump, he remains in this range ahead of the election. if you re sitting in the west wing looking at this, are you worried? the more recent polls have been a little lower than they have been generally speaking, lower 40s, mid-40s. if he s low, mid-40s, that s something an incumbent president can win re-election, especially if he drags his opponent down with him. like in 2016 will be the name of the game. he slips into the high 30s, the math becomes very difficult unless there s a crisis on the democratic side of the aisle. i think we re starting to see a growing mountain of poll evidence, general election poll evidence of course it s very early right now. but the president s political standing has been very static throughout his entire presidency and he hasn t shown an ability to improve upon his numbers.
Is the governing wing and part of it is represented by john mccain. remember his work on the gang of eight congressional reform legislation, then you have bottom bombastic agg rirks eaggrieved wing. donald trump is speaking and once he gets on that debate stage, it remains to be seen the kind of impact he will have on the republican party. just quickly here on the today show, he said he was leading in a poll in nevada amongst hispanic voters. it was an obscure, very small poll, but that s his latest badge of honor that he claims exists with his candidacy. yeah tamron i think the biggest poll evidence was the two national polls from last week. there was a usa today separate poll as well as fox news that showed donald trump in the lead and there is also a brand new
