i would imagine those two to fall in line, but will have to see what else the power five do. >> i know we have friends that are all on the edge of their seats wanting to know this. thank you, grady. thank you, everybody. that was a wild hour, i'm going to take a break here, bill. >> don't walk the dog. >> a big hour coming up at any moment it is possible we will learn who joe biden's running mate is. in moments we will hear from th senate majority leader mitch mc connell as to where there is high-stakes stalemate in washington as we speak. the house speaker, nancy pelosi says president trump's twin pla as an illusion. the white house ain't today int weeks time some americans will get money from extended

unemployment benefits that came after the order that was signed by the president. unemployment today, 10 percent per the election today is 84 days away. it will get a sense of where we are. >> good afternoon. >> where do things stand at thi hour? kicky i think it's a bit of a stalemate, but look, the american people are sick of the stalemate. they want to get a result, and the results are to be directly related to the covid 19 crisis. kids back in school, jobs, healthcare, direct cash payment

to low income people who need our help. those items should not be in dispute, and this hang up over sending over $1 trillion down t the state and local government, we've already sent them 150 billion and they've only spent 25 percent of what we sen them before. so take that off the table and let's get this assistance directly to the people who need it. >> is there any movement at 3:0? any movement, any conversations with nancy pelosi? kicky were having plenty of conversations among ourselves breaky are you talking directly with kicky as far as we know, the they have not speak it spoken today and so, another da has gone by with an impasse and they need to get together we ar talking among ourselves a lot, my whole conference is on the phone with the chief of staff and the secretary of the treasury today. but we can't make a deal withou the democrats. i think it's time for everybody to get back to the table and let's get a deal done. >> you did not like the executive action that president obama took. why are you okay with the

executive action but president trump as taking? kicky it's not the first choice of anyone, but this is a genuin emergency. we haven't had a pandemic in 10 years. the president is trying to get assistance for those who are unemployed to break out of the stalemate, and it's the only tw he has left available to him in the absence of an agreement wit the democrats. i applaud the president for rising to the occasion trying t get help to people who unemployment help. >> nancy pelosi says republican like yourself don't understand the gravity of the moment. what would you say to her? kicky we certainly understand the gravity of the moment. we've already allocated $3 trillion over the last few months, we are prepared to provide another trillion dollar or so, all of that has been added to the national debt giving us a debt the size of ou economy for the first time sinc

world war ii. we know this is a serious situation. people not being serious are those that wanted to squander i trillion dollars on state and local government has only spent 25 percent of 150 we've already spent. >> democrats say that the order will not go out in a timely fashion. larry kudlow spent about. the whole point of doing the executive order was to try to get relief to the people who needed it the worst. the president is doing everything he can within his authority to get the job done. why is there resistance? let's get it done. democratic governors need to figure out how to work with the president and get those checks into people's hands. >> on the election, 84 days until that's commit you're defending 23 seats on the republican side of the senate.

can you hold the majority as it stands today? kicky we can. this was always going to be a tough cycle for us, this is a big class of incumbents because we took a majority six years ag so we have a lot of incumbents, a lot of exposure around the country. every one of these races, about eight of them are like a knife fight in an alley. they are tough challenges. but yes we can hold the senate, kicky being a man from kentucky louisville, how would you handicap that today? kicky i don't handicap. what i tell you is this is a tough fight, it could go either way. what about the house? kicky i'm not an expert on the house, i focus pretty much on the senate for it i wish are republican colleagues in the house while. >> joe biden has made a decision , how do you see that shaping up and who do you think the best choice for him would be ? kicky it's always interesting t

speculate about the choice for it it almost never makes a difference. in fact, the political side wil tell you good go back to 1960 defined the last time vice presidential nominee may have made a difference and that was lbj delivering texas for jfk. we are interested in it, it wil be fascinating to see who he picks but in the end people wil vote on the two at the top, trump or biden. >> bill barr was in your office last hour, any information on that. >> we were at, talking about a couple of legislative issues that were a concern to him, not frankly terribly newsworthy for you. >> so no announcements for the doj today? kicky i didn't get any heads-up or any announcement on a doj. no. >> as it stands now, do you hav any inclination to leave this interview and call chuck schume or called nancy pelosi and in

the stalemate? to get the stalemate needs to b ended. it doesn't make any difference who says let's get together again, but we ought to get together again because there hasn't been a meeting of any consequence between the two parties since last friday. that is too long. it is time to sit down and get deal done. >> thank you for your time. we will follow it by the moment. mitch mcconnell, thank you. i mentioned any moment joe bide will announce the name of his running mate. new university poll shows the former vp leading president trump by ten points. that is down from 13 points in the month of june, numbers outlets are. jackie as standing by in wilmington, delaware. >> hey there, there are reports that biden has made his choice and told his advisors who that will be that is owing joining the ticket with them. we knew that he had interviewed

all of the candidates, the vp vetting committee had disbanded and we were told they try squid becoming midweek even as soon a today. last hour, ellie mae or eric garcetti on the vp vetting committee if you want to take the dog for a walk, keep them close by because the announcement could really, any time. we're trying to get a feel for just how long of a window that might be. there has been some activity this morning at the hotel dupon where there have been some law enforcement, some members of biden's advance team going in and out of the building so ther is speculation there may be an event there today or tomorrow potentially. a number of finalists include a least six women of color, congresswoman val deming and karen bass also student but senator elizabeth warren an are also in contention. delaware senator said the choic will make history and he

appeared to inadvertently release some big news about tha pic this morning in an intervie because to make history, the woman on the ticket would have to be a black woman. there have been women vps on tickets before. geraldine ferrero, also sarah palin for a he did walk that back slightly when he was pushe on that question for confirmation it's going to be a black woman saying this woman will end up making history. we've also found out more about the dnc speaker lineup. we know that bernie sanders and former republican governor john kasich will be speaking on monday night in an effort to show broad support from both ends of the political spectrum. and then michelle obama will also be speaking that night. tuesday, aoc and bill clinton will be delivering their remark and on wednesday, we are to hil from hillary clinton and also barack obama. we are waiting, white knuckling hearing what's going to happen and all eyes are scanning wilmington right now for any

sign. >> we are doing a lot of waitin right now. jackie, back to you this hour. nice to see you. >> stoner in seattle, the polic chief stepping down after the city council voted to/her department budget and reduce th force by up to 100 officers. that story is live from seattle now. >> bill, that the chief announced that she will be leaving the department, her job on september 2nd and in doing so she said you've got to know when it's time to leave and she wasted no time in announcing he departure after a humiliating vote, 7-1 out announcing that they are cutting the funding fo the seattle police department. she had argued against the cuts but not a single council member met with her to discuss the impact on public safety. the department will lose 100 officers in the deeper cuts are expected next year from a

council that is bending to protest groups a council that routinely attacks the police. the chief is well respected among the rank-and-file, she defended the use of nonlethal munitions to protect officers and protesters when things got violent. and she was cheered by officers when they finally got that east precinct back. now the department will start t shrink. a month ago a veto majority of the council said they support the demand to cut the pd by 15 percent per the only person for voting no yesterday said th defunding was not deep enough. >> i think that we have really been able to reach a pretty goo initial package that lays the groundwork for much bigger transformative change to come i short order. >> seattle now joins 19 other cities across the country that at least partially defunded their police department. >> thank you. dan springer live in seattle.

>> the big ten conference officially voting to postpone the 2020 college football seaso so far no word on the other power five conferences. with me now, lou, how are you doing? thank you for your time. thinking for all the good stuff we spoke a month ago. i know you remember it, is that if students are in the classroo they can't have players on the field. the improvement problem is the students will be in the classroom and now they said forget about it into the spring. >> it's a really difficult decision for her to. to of the residents happen to b mds and mds would get from one side. players want to play, coaches want to play, athletic director want to play they need the mone however they have big responsibility.

it is easy to say no, we're not going to play. you have to look at the whole process for example, many month ago, there was a rash of covid 19. they have had one in the last month. i think that you can bet that the pac 12 will go along with the big ten. they have been already since 46 when they made the rose bowl, s i just think it showed. >> 's so, sorry, if i hear you right, you're saying they shoul play. >> i think they should play, bu you ought to say to the player, if you have an asthma problem, if you're diabetic or something then you have a legitimate reason you don't want to play, absolutely. don't play. the rest of you that want to play, let's go play. i'm going crazy, i think other

people let's move on with the live government when they stormed normandie, they knew they were going to be casualties . to percent of the people that g to the emergency room go for covid 19. >> i don't know if it's the young people. you played out an interesting argument about the university. they're helping make these decisions here. trevor lawrence might be the best player in college football. that may not happen this year. the quarterback from clemson sent out this tweet yesterday. medical care and expenses will be placed in the families that they were to contract covid 19. >> i think it's a very smart smart points. other people said they learned

more in the locker room than they ever did in the classroom. in a the association people. you worked all your life or. the players want to play and th coaches want to coach, but the president said no because it's the same thing, i don't have an responsibility nobody can come back and second-guess me. i don't have to have any regret and perfectly safe and secure. the easiest thing to say no, we're not going to do it. it takes leadership encourage, but you have to look at the ris along the lines. i don't know of a college playe that has tested positive for covid 19 who has gone to the hospital. i talk to him every day, he sai 14 players tested positive in the entire time they've been there. not one of them it wasn't like they had a high fever or coughing. it just turned out that they tested positive. i'm not minimizing it, but sometimes we've got to move on this country. we can't just set.

the cure is far worse than that. i see that with my life i think that's the case here. >> coach kelly at notre dame said let's do it. coach carb said let's do it. the football giants our testing their players and their coaches and the equipment manager every day. so far, so good. so coach, you may have a very good point. >> let me put one other thing out. we will have football six night out of the week and lo and behold it will hurt college football. you think of the fans as sorry, i feel bad about this decision, but it's going to get worse whe the pac 12 later says. to get the mountain was.

macy's or an nike because that make sure that that person eats. that make sure that that person has close. >> this city officials say that was not the case at all during these riots and that no one was out there stealing in order to feed their families. instead officials say it was a coordinated attack on the city by criminals who didn't think there would be any consequences for their action. last night was a much calmer night with a heavy police presence and access to the downtown area heavily restricted . those measures will stay in place until further notice. they're planning to strategically to protect critical businesses such as grocery stores and pharmacies, but again, it was mostly high end stores that we're hit early monday many of them for the second time in the past few months, so today as they continue the process of cleanin up commit many are asking themselves if it safe or even worth it to retry to rebuild again. >> we will be watching there in

candidates in stage iii three. >> in this country it's a three-phase process that starts with a small group of healthy volunteers and phase two, the group expands to consider certain age groups or health characteristics. phase three, trial vaccines are given to thousands of volunteer to test whether they are safe and effective. former fda commissioner tweeted russia was reported to be behin this information campaign to so doubts in the u.s. about our vaccines. today's news that they approved a vaccine on the equivalent of phase one data may be another effort to stoke doubts or goad the u.s. into forcing early action on our vaccines. in addition to u.s. research into vaccines which trained the immune system to attack the coronavirus and prevent illness. they are enrolling healthy volunteers inched trials to see if laboratory produce proteins

might serve as an effective treatment for eight under operation warp speed, some potential vaccines and therapie could enter the fda approval process as early as october and the federal government is reducing the wait time once these treatments or vaccines ar approved. one thing the federal health officials are adamant about is despite the upgraded research and development process they anticipate that they are not going to sacrifice safety when it comes to vaccines in the u.s. >> thank you for watching that story from atlanta. we are live in beirut today. the outrage and demands for change are building by the hour. one week after a massive and deadly blast in that city. plus the u.s. taking action in response to the crackdown in hong kong. he joins me live and how the administration hopes to keep china in check. chronic medical .

>> the headlines right now, ira announced five iranians for espionage. we will get more information on that is we get the word from tehran. last month run, the regime claimed they were spying from some of america's closest allie including israel. about a month ago they executed a government staffer accused of selling intel to the cia. new york times reports blocking u.s. citizens from coming back into the country of their suspected of having covid 19. the ministration pushing back o that telling fox news any repor of this would be extremely premature. a federal appeals court ring about whether to drop the case against michael flynn president transformer national security adviser. he played into the guilty twice delaying to the, but now he claims the fed set him up and the justice department has recommended dismissing that case . major headlines in the briefing room last night president trump

said america's relationship wit china is a lot different than i was eight months ago. thank you for your time. that quote kept my attention last night. then today he says he hasn't spoke with the president beijin in a long time. it feels like the brewing's of new cold war. what do we know about the relationship between washington and beijing? >> i think that rhetoric really isn't useful, but here is what we do know. we do know that the chinese communist party as our brutal authoritarian regime. we've seen that in hong kong free jim eli is circulating around the globe because of the brutality that they are doing i hong kong, but i think it's als true in the president as he reflects upon this, understands

that in november, the chinese communist party's bond that virus in december and january, they hid it from the world behind a shield of the world health organization. while they did that, they brought up all the ppe, masks, gloves, and goggles all over th world. they denied those to the healthcare workers in milan and new york. killed people because of that and now they're trying to steal our vaccines. so we are not happy. we're not happy with the chines communist party. the pupil says that the america people aren't happy. it's like going up in terms of people viewing china as a threat . i think we have a president and donald j trump who is the only president who has ever stood up to the chinese communist party through things like his tariffs which apparently joe biden now wants to get rid of. >> i think we can agree on the

changes in this relationship that have taken place over the last eight months. that is quite clear. you mentioned jim eli, he was here in new york last summer an we had him talking about his push for more democracy in hong kong. he was arrested, lit out of his newspaper his sons are in jail as well. at the same time, in taiwan, which i believe as the highest ranking member of any men ministration man ministration i decades to visit taipei. given those headlines, what are you trying to meshes to beijing? >> here is what puzzles me. it continues to puzzle me eight months later. we know that china, the chinese communist party infected the united states with that virus. it's, what we have now as a society seemingly divided against each other, all the anger that is out there about the virus is directed not at th

chinese communist party, but at each other. i think it's important as we think about the china problem, we think not just about the usual problem. remember, it was the chinese communist party that stole our jobs, using all those unfair trade practices. president trump has been trying to get rid of those using the tariffs in the section 301 action. but now, we've even gone beyond that where they have infected u with a virus, killed over 160,000 americans. what's weird to me as it's like to politically correct on a lot of the left-wing media to even assign any blame to the chinese. it is bizarre. >> take us back. in the 30 seconds i have left, take it back here on covert testing. i can go to a hospital in new york and get the result for tha test within hours. i have family members in new

jersey and in ohio that have to wait a week. >> can't we do better? >> we are doing a lot this week. we're going to come out with a report from our office about th defense using that. and we are doing everything we can to accelerate testing. we've seen how many we're actually doing. it's a moving target. the president is using the defense production act. i would say to the american people, this is a war. we have to stand together in this war, fighting the common enemy.

>> thank you for your time. the faster the better, i think we can agree on that. >> yes, sir. >> from overseas earlier today, funerals and protest and outrag in the streets of beirut as the city marks one week since of massive deadly explosion. tray has been on the ground in beirut watching all the fallout from the blast in the protest today. where are we tonight? >> good afternoon. here in beirut there was a moment of silence at 608 local time. it was exactly a week ago the blast from the killed more than 150 people injuring thousands more are today we saw protester clashing with police outside of the parliament building despite the fact that there were widespread resignations in the government yesterday including the prime minister stepping dow these demonstrators say it's no enough. they want to get to the one man who was the head of the parliament who they say has tie to the lebanese militant group rate there is frustration about growing funds here that are

going to has boa and not toward the civilians. many of them before the blast o tuesday were hungry and need aid . now in the aftermath of this explosion, there are many questions about where people should end up. hundreds of thousands internall displaced and there are no clea answers. the government is not in the streets tonight helping in thos eight efforts it's just other volunteers here trying to help the citizens of beirut cleanup and the protesters following a new report today that said officials actually knew that there were potentially dingy dangerous systems that only added to the frustration they have against the government. >> good work today. we will see you when you get there tomorrow in beirut. we are about a week away from the democratic convention. the biting camp as hinting that vp announcement could come any time. we will talk to west wing insider and cabinet member, leo panetta.

has been at the top of that lis for a wow. i would be surprised if she wasn't his pick. >> is he late to this call? somebody suggested it was bumping up against the convention is this just the way that he works? >> i think that candidates in the past i've used the vice presidential nomination to try to get additional attention fro the american people. joe has done it different, he i basically playing the right to convention itself in order to create a lot of interest in wha the ticket will look like. it doesn't surprise me that the played it this long. >> does he need, or should he choose a woman of color? >> he clearly is committed to choosing a woman, so there is nothing more to be said about that. obviously, what i think he has

to weigh as the politics of the contents doing sees that he wants to turn out for the election and to make sure that he is speaking at candidate who will appeal to those constituencies sure that's part of the calculation. >> he mentioned kamala harris right out of the gate. is that your guess? >> you know, everybody is tryin to figure out who it is, but my sense is she has been at the to of the list for a while, for good reason as a senator and somebody who's pretty good in politics and hopefully again be someone who can work with the vice president in that office. he knows what the role is all about, so i think it is clear that she has got a head start here. as i said, i would be surprised if she wasn't the pick. >> i think a lot about these

debates, i think they're going to matter especially during these speed 50 times. i wonder who matches up against these mike pence is pretty effective in that environment. i keep coming back to elizabeth warren as a real fighter in tha ring. what do you think of that matchup? >> you know, obviously, elizabeth warren can hold her own, no question about that, bu so gahan kamala harris. i think she prove during the campaign that she is somebody who is pretty steady and can handle questions and can handle the attacks and can make the attacks that are important. i think she will be a formidabl debater. >> we will see if you're right soon enough.

their numbers. and what does it say about living there in new york? >> the question is did you die at the nursing home on the property, or did you die after you were transferred to a hospital and died there. we will see where this goes, bu the governor restated head position. see if we get that independent investigation they have asked for. meanwhile, there are six homeless reported by the new york post that are on parole an they were put on the upper west side of manhattan about 1,000 feet from a playground near an elementary school there. how does this happen? >> can i talk to you about that please,? bill hemmer have you ever seen junkie shoot up? >> on video, yes. >> okay. i remember the first time as a prosecutor i saw a junkie, i wa looking for a witness, shooting up, it's like the first time yo

the home, the way he did it. how elizabeth smart was kept secret for all of this time. i learned so much about it. >> i've got to run. check it out on fox nation. we will see you soon. >> now he knows how soon will w know? we're getting worried right now that joe biden has indeed decided on a running mate, we just don't know who she is and how it was narrowed down. this as of the compound not too far from the former vice president's home in wilmington, delaware. again, we don't know much, how much the list has been whittled down. we were told it was down to to names, kamala harris and an announcement could have come perhaps at this hour. let's go to jackie in delaware for the latest of what she's hearing. to get this
