it's facebook friday. who knows, greg is back. i don't know if he will make fun of my outfit today. it is a tame one, john roberts come i don't know if you notice that but greg gutfeld has it in for me and teases me relentlessly. >> never noticed that and i never heard greg say anything. but i can tell you this, you are always totally put together. i don't know what he's talking about. >> dana: thanks, john, have a good show. >> thanks, dana have a great weekend. i'm john roberts and for bill hemmer and more talks on covert relay for millions of americans right now, top democrats meeting with white house officials to try to work out a deal, but it appears both sides are very far apart. the jobs report shows unemployment's for the two percentage point and the united states recovered half of the jobs lost since the start of the pandemic. president trump says he may take executive action on covid relief if the two sides cannot reach a

deal. we will get analysis from chris wallace in just a moment and alex hogan the latest on new york's plan to get students back to school. first though kristin fisher live at the white house. hi, kristen. >> hey, john self-imposed deadline for the coronavirus stemless talks. after two weeks of these mirror daily meetings, it appears these two sides are nowhere closer to reaching a deal. in fact last night as chief of staff mark meadows leaving capitol hill, he said he didn't know if it would be worth it to meet again today. that is how far apart these two sides are. but hey, they decided to give it one last shot. they are meeting right now. right before these meetings started today, house speaker nancy pelosi gave a little bit of a press conference, and she explained exactly what she offered the white house yesterday and what she intends to offer them today. >> yesterday, i offered to them we will take down $1 trillion if

you add $1 trillion in. they said absolutely not. if we can do that, if we take down $1 trillion and they add $1 trillion, we will be within range. we will be within range but we must meet the needs of the american people. >> but as mark meadows and the treasurer or secretary steven mnuchin walking into this meeting moments ago, the reporters asked him about that offer and both of them said to commit was a nonstarter. so add this stalemate on capitol hill continues, it is increasingly likely that president trump will act unilaterally on extending eviction moratorium and for unemployment and freezing payroll tax collections. this morning white house income it larry kudlow said he believes president trump will do it, especially when it comes to those payroll tax cuts. >> the legal drafting is complete. we pad the intense discussions about this in the last several days. and i want to make a prediction.

it's up to him to inform the public if he is satisfied with the work been done. the federal powers out the president's disposal, and he will use them. you combat on it. >> now in terms of timing, even if they don't reach a deal on capitol hill today, he will still likely be about a day or two before president trump takes any kind of executive action. john, you may be back at the white house by them. >> john: [laughter] on my be retired by then, we will see. kristin fisher on the north lawn, thank you. new york governor andrew cuomo announcing all schools in the state can reopen. new york is probably in the best situation of the country to open schools based on infection rate. but the teachers unions in new york the manic the shut down immediately if they get a single case. alex hogan reporting live from new york city, alex, strong emotions on all sides of this debate. >> that is right, john p read

all of these districts will help to formulate a plan based on what meets their needs. the governor announcing this today, but it's not one-size-fits-all. again, each district will have to come up with its own unique plan. >> these school districts have to be talking to the parents and talking to the teachers because if the teachers don't come back, then you can't really open schools. if the parents don't send their students, then you are not really opening the schools. >> but in order to legally open, the governor say that communities need infection rates to stay below 5% for seven days. if it kicks up to 9%, schools will have to shut back down. in new york city of the nation's largest school district the mayor said the infection rate cannot pass 3%. through a different message, districts across the nation navigating how to best protect the generations health as well as crucial developmental use. experts say kids are protected

significantly. >> all the research out there will not capture how bad the loss will be for so many students right now. to say nothing, frankly the social and emotional scars that they will bear as a result of this as well. >> the country's top 25 largest school districts taking, 19 going virtual, two blended hybrid, two districts giving families the option online or only in person with the remaining two unclear on their decision, one being new york city public schools working on splitting that time in school and out of school. the governor saying again all of these school districts need to submit their plan. there are 749 districts in the state with only 127 as of right now still not submitting any plan altogether, john. >> alex hogan for us in new york city, alex, we will see how it goes, thank you. white house officials and top democrats talking this afternoon

and a path towards a new relief bill is at a standstill, while millions of americans struggle and face eviction. let's bring in fox news sunday anchor chris wallace, you have nancy pelosi and steven mnuchin on your program on sunday. when you take a look at what the posture is on both sides here, they keep talking but they do not seem to be closer to a deal. >> that is right. and one of the questions is whether the meeting today is really about trying to reach a deal, obviously if they would like to. they may not be able to because they may be so far apart. then the question becomes who gets lame for the breakdown in negotiations? that may be what's going on today as i try to see -- well, we wanted to keep talking. they were the ones that broke away. you can certainly expect that there will be some talking about that, particularly with the fact that has kristin fisher mentions president trump made this weekend as soon soon as tomorrow signed an executive order that would take hero of a lot of these issues, maybe not

to the satisfaction of democrats, but you know, talking about extending the moratorium on evictions. some unemployment benefits. and so the whole question who takes the blame here has these negotiations may fall apart is a big part of what is going on right now. >> john: the democrats seem eager to reach some sort of a deal and it's my understanding that nancy pelosi was the one who requested the meeting this afternoon. she called over to the white house today. she seems to be concerned about the president taking unilateral action. earlier, she was criticizing it saying it would not be enough and probably indict a court challenge. she was quick to say, we are willing to give up $1 trillion here. do you think she is getting desperate? >> well, i don't know but i have to say as i listen to that clip we played earlier from i remember and i guess i'm an old timer because i remembered when $1 trillion was a lot. she said we will drop

$1 trillion if the president will come up a trillion dollars but that used to be an immeasurable amount of money. but that is just negotiation in these talks that we are having right now. they are a long way apart. if the house democrats and senate democrats are at $3 trillion in the president and republicans in the senate and some of them don't want to give out any more money. but an offer of $1 trillion, that is a pretty big difference, even in washington. >> john: i think $1 trillion is an inconceivable concept for most people that they don't get the difference between $2,000,000,000,000.3 trillion. the president would probably take some sort of unilateral action, no doubt, as nancy pelosi said would invite a court challenge. wouldn't the white house be betting that it would be a loser politically for somebody to challenge the president given out enhanced employment insurance, payments to people

and even cutting the payroll tax cut? >> well, that is exactly right. remember when the president has done this before where he's taken money to congress to approve it for something else and repurposed as he did for funding for the border wall. that is something that democrats didn't want to. even if they are not satisfied with a presidential executive order, let's say, federal benefit of may be $400 or $200 instead of $600 that the democrats want for the millions of people who are out of work right now. it gets pretty delicate. do the democrats go to court and say we want to stop that payment of $400 to people who are struggling right now and may be kicked out of their homes? do we want to fight back against the eviction moratorium? that is a difficult, political position but the president republican are putting the democrats in. >> john: let me ask you about debates because we know chris you hosted a debate 2016 and you did a fine, fine job. who knows maybe you are up for another one this year at the

presidential debate said we are not changing our schedule, however if the two campaigns want to get together to add a fourth debate, we are open to entertaining data. do you expect because the trump campaign, to my understanding from a grassroots level will push for an extra debate earlier in the schedule? do you expect the biden campaign will continue to resist that idea? >> i do. and i think to a certain degree that was the presidential debate, we will not change our schedule but go with the vice presidential debate as scheduled. if the two sides want to come together, we will entertain it, which obviously they would have to do with biden and trump wanted a fourth debate. they will not sit there and say no but having said that, it will not happen because biden camp has gone on record saying the presidential debates, came up with a schedule long time ago and that's what we are going with. >> john: i would think after joe biden's comments this week, the president would be itching to get him on the debate stage.

>> actually come i think they are both interesting. biden has made some gaps and the president said joe biden was against god this week and so biden has his and the president has his. >> john: we will ask the trump campaign about that particular issue coming up. chris, thank you for joining us. chris as we mentioned at the top two negotiators fox sunday house speaker nancy pelosi and steven mnuchin, that is on your local fox station. here on the fox news channel. >> joe biden attempted to clarify comments he made about the black community. he responded to criticism from the president, chris just mentioned that in the trump campaign will respond live coming up. plus, the united nations with a dire warning after deadly explosion at lebanon's capital. what we are learning about the aftermath. stay with us. ♪ guys! guys! safe drivers save 40%!!! safe drivers save 40%! safe drivers save 40%!!!

clarifying comments he made comparing the latino and black communities saying he did not mean to suggest the african-american community is not diverse. biden also pushing back on the president's claim he is against god, calling that "shameful." peter doocy reporting live in wilmington, delaware, we have heard it all. >> wright, john. and the former vice president is not saying sorry. he just wants to clarify that comment about diversity in the african-american community with this purity said on twitter, throughout my career i witnessed the diversity of sentiment within the african-american community. this diversity makes our workplace, community, and country a better place. remember biden did not say sorry last time in hot water for making a similar comment when he said on the breakfast club in may african-americans considering voting for trump "ain't black." that time he just said he shouldn't have been such a wise guy. president trump said he has

heard enough this time. he said this on twitter after yesterday's statement, joe biden is no longer worthy of the black vote. if the president is trying to turn religious voters against biden. >> no religion no anything, hurts the bible, hurts god. he is against god. >> that part about biden being against god stuck out for the biden campaign, which remains fully virtual. they remain -- released a statement, president trump has teargas to peaceful americans ad thrown a priest out of his churh just so we can profane it in the bible for cynical optics as he sought to tear our nation apart of a moment of crisis and pain. john, we are outside back of an event center in wilmington, delaware, where we saw biden motor quote -- motorcade to pull in to this campaign after the motorcade left the biden residence.

so we have reached out to the campaign. we have not heard back exactly what they might be doing here, but it comes as he is trying to find a place to deliver his convention speech in delaware and also as he tries to figure out who he will pick as a running mate. so whatever it is, his time is very valuable today. we will let you know when we figure it out, john. >> john: some good, peter follows the cars, some people follow the money. the director of press communications for president trump campaign, good to see it this afternoon. let's start from the news with the commission for presidential debates which said to mayor giuliani, thanks for your request for an extra debate early on. we are happy with the schedule however, let's put this up on the screen. if the candidates were to agree to add to that schedule, the commission would consider that request. will the trump campaign continue to push the biden campaign to agree to a fourth an earlier debate? >> well, absolutely and we are

also saying if joe biden only wants three debates, take the last debate and move it up. we can't have a 1980s style debate calendar for a 2020 election cycle. there is no election that has ever existed like this and the biden campaign is trying to hide instead of putting the camping up to debate ideas. there is a large contrast between donald trump and joe biden. the current debate schedule means they will begin the voting process before exchanging ideas for themselves. we really want and believe in president trump has said quite clearly the american people should be able to see that exchange of ideas before voting, early voting begins september 4th. the question is for joe biden why wouldn't you want the american people to see that the exchange of ideas before they began to vote? >> john: but the presidential debate points out the fact that you get an absentee or early ballot does not necessarily mean that you need to fill it out and send it back until after the first presidential debate on the 29th.

is that not good enough for the trump campaign? >> just because they say that doesn't mean people won't fill out their ballots and send them in. people will take their ballots, make for consideration, but there should be an exchange of ideas before they began to receive ballots. i think that is a pretty simple concept and the american people deserve to see that. i note joe biden has been in his basement and hiding my get that. clearly in the time he comes out, that is what he thinks and it's not good policy for the united states. let's have that contrast, exchange of ideas. if joe biden wants to be president of the united states, why wouldn't he want to stand in front of the american people before they receive their ballots? it is a mind-boggling situation. >> john: joe biden has said in the last 24 hours, we know what joe biden said about diversity in african-americans versus latinos. the president is clearly trying to move the needle with african-american voters, saying joe biden is not worthy of the african-american vote.

91% of african-american voters voted for hillary clinton in 2016. as the president hoping by pushing this point he can get african-americans to switch or to stay home or vote with kanye? >> president trump has an exceptional record to run on and a conversation with the black community in the united states. listen, in a time joe biden gets out there he clearly shows what he thinks with what he says. he believes the black population in the united states is a really voting block that if it's not voting democrat, it is on them, not on him, his bad policies or his record. president trump has delivered for black americans funding for historically black colleges and universities, low unemployment. we talk about full percentage drop in black unemployment in july. we can have this conversation. we are putting money into black community centers. this is a conversation president trump is voting and will not be scared by joe biden. joe biden needs to answer questions here.

happen, we have a nurse in my family, and she was fitted for a mask before she took a job in a hospital. that was not something however that i wanted to teach was a part of the same like okay, we signed to do this. and that type of thing that could be on the horizon. that was not any of us thought. so we spoke to that. what they are provided with his little different. a nurse that sees 15 children and one room, they all have their own beds which are in a different room. so i think relating us to those essential workers is really what has gotten the negative attention on teachers. how it is now, they just don't want to work. they don't want to go back to work. like i am an extrovert. it is so hard. i am a hug or come i really am. and today seen people that i worked with five or six years

implications of not getting a phase 4 coronavirus relief bill, considering much of what has been in the economy the last few weeks. >> looked, and agree with that. i would see if they cannot reach any deal, there will be tens of millions of people who run out of money. we will have hundreds of thousands of people get evicted from their homes. and i think we will have 53 republican senators and one president who are very much on the hot seat. i kind of don't understand the approach that the republicans are taking when there is overwhelming and massive support in the polls among democrats and republicans that they want to relief to go to individuals, not just the big corporations. so i think the republicans will back away. >> john: steve moore, i think it is safe to say a lot of republicans can't understand why the democrats want to spend $3 trillion when relate to

addressed a situation, what you want to do was eviction relief, you want to do reliability coverage as well. then you want to continue enhanced employment to some degrees maybe not $600 a week because for some people that would be a disincentive to go back to work. >> look, that is exactly right, john. the president doesn't need a deal right now. we showed him a way to provide a big stimulus to the economy through this payroll tax reduction that he does not need congressional support for. it looks like tomorrow or tonight we may see an executive order where the president gives every single american worker a pay raise which is exactly what the middle class needs. then you start negotiating on a one-on-one basis. but the one thing important, john, come on $3 trillion spending bill? after we already spent $2.5 trillion? when that bill came out, people were laughing at it.
