devastation and destruction and your church has a role in the recovery. thank you for many blessings. here we are to have a community conversation. is that right? a few ground rules. the interest of safety and health and wellness that we protect each other. so social distancing rules are important and will be -- >> john: democratic nominee joe biden is in a church in wisconsin meeting with community leader there's after the shooting of jacob blake that has roiled that city. i'm jon scott in for bill hemmer. both campaigns hitting battleground states today. right now we're waiting to hear from joe biden. he's meeting with community members in kenosha as i mentioned. he's about to take the microphone that city shaken by protests and violence after the blake shooting. former vice president biden met

with some of blake's family members earlier today. his visit comes two days after president trump toured the city and met with law enforcement there. the president is heading to pennsylvania tonight where he will speak in latrobe about 30 miles east of pittsburgh. we have analysis from bret baier coming up in just a moment. reporting from john roberts at the white house. first, peter doocy kicks off our coverage from kenosha. peter? >> john, the biden motorcade arrived about 10 or 15 minutes ago here at a church that is a few blocks away, maybe a few hundred feet away from some of the businesses that were burned down. a lot of buildings still have their windows boarded up. an entire business district that we went through right when we got into town this morning that still smells like smoke in the air. you can see behind us a few hundred people showed up. i'd say it's a mixture of activists that marched here a

few dozen of them, a handful of biden supporters and obviously the local law enforcement who actually just rolled in. what looked like extra backup just in case. everything out here is peaceful. we understand that inside this meeting today, it's a community discussion. so there's religious leaders, a reverend a minister a rabbi, officials from the local police department and fire department officials as well as some business owners affected by the rioting in the last few weeks and black lives matter activists from. here, we understand that biden will go to a local stop to be determined. they haven't announced where he and dr. jill will go and back on to delaware for remarks about the economy, which will wrap up his busiest week of in-person campaigning since march. john? >> all right. peter doocy reporting live from

kenosha. peter, thank you. president trump heading to a battleground state that could make or break this election. talking about pennsylvania. here's a look at where things stand. joe biden leads president trump there by about three points in the real clear politics polling average. chief white house correspondent john roberts reporting live from the white house now. john? >> good afternoon to you. it's a three-point lead but the lead has been narrowing and the president will go to western pennsylvania, which is a strong hold for him particularly in a city like latrobe where he is expected to hit biden on law and order, jobs and fracking. it's unclear where joe biden stands on fracking. one of the things really making news here at the white house is what the president said yesterday in wilmington, north carolina where he urged people casting a mail-in ballot to on election day to go to the polls and if their mail-in ballot had not been tabulated, they should vote in person as

well. the president was immediately criticized for encouraging to have people vote twice. the press secretary kayleigh mcenanysaid that's not what the president was talking about at all. listen here. >> there's a very simple answer. this is how it works. a lot of states have electronic poll books. what this means is that in real time, this is updated. so if your vote is counted, they check the poll book and you won't be able to vote in person because your vote has been counted. >> mcenany acknowledged a lot of states that don't have the poll books. in those cases, people can cast a provisional ballot and if the mail-in ballot was not, the traditional ballot would be. >> don't take it from me. take it to jimmy carter that said in 2005, absentee ballots are the biggest source of voter trust. democrats say trust us but don't verify. this president is tries to

enfranchise americans which is what he's been saying. he wants every american to have a vote. he understands what jimmy carter understood. >> there's concern that if millions of people did that, it would really on election day overburden a system that will already be stressed to the max because of coronavirus and all of the concerns about social distancing and trying to keep people safe while they vote in person, john. >> john roberts, our chief white house correspondent. thank you. let's bring in "special report anchor" bret baier. so joe biden is in kenosha meeting with community leaders now. the president focused his efforts on law enforcement. that reflects sort of the theme of his campaign, law and order, right? >> that's right. good afternoon. the president was trying to go there to thank the national guard, the law enforcement for keeping the peace in kenosha. joe biden says he's going there to listen to the community and

the pain that they've been going through. let's just be honest. both candidates are going there because wisconsin is a state that is crucially important in this election. yes, the turmoil in kenosha is serious, but the reason those focused there is because the needle is very tight in kenosha, in wisconsin overall, in a place like pennsylvania where the president is going, in north carolina and these states will be the focus over the next 60 days. >> yeah, let's take a look at the fox news polls that show joe biden with an uptick in three of those states. arizona, north carolina and pennsylvania. right now, joe biden is at 50 to 42 for the president in wisconsin. 49 to 40 in arizona and 50 to 46 in north carolina.

and if you look at the real clear politics average, the numbers are similar. arizona 49, the president has 44 compared with joe biden. in wisconsin it's 48.5, the president at 44.5 and north carolina 47.8 to 47.2. the trump campaign obviously would dispute these numbers. but they are -- well, they are what they are. three polling numbers. we'll see how accurate they are. >> polls are snapshots in time. you know a good poll i think is plus or minus 3 1/2. so you're looking at a lot of tight races if you factor in the margin of error. this is roughly where the race was in 2016 at this point with hillary clinton. i'm skeptical of the secret trump voter. we've heard it a lot. people don't answer polls and that they're -- but they do come

out. i tell you, i went to pennsylvania. i talked to democrat there's. the heads of various democratic parties that said yeah, it's happening. people are not answering polls. we have democrats that are supporting trump in pennsylvania in that certain area. i saw it first hand. i asked people, 20 people. some of them didn't want to talk about it on camera. they said hey, we're voting for trump. i think it's out there. i don't know how many points it is, john but in these battleground states, two, three points would make a huge deal. >> yeah, reminds me of four years ago. i was in ohio on election day. there were an awful lot of trump yard signs in ohio. that's a state that went for him last time around and ohio has a very good record of picking the eventual winner. >> that's right. ohio is very tight as well. seems like as things get closer to the election, we're now past

this labor day weekend. once we get past that, people start to laser focus in on this. then the first debate obviously chris wallace, our own chris wallace from fox news, moderating september 29th, that will be must-see tv for anybody that follows elections. >> yes. congratulations to chris. we're very proud that he's been chosen to moderate that debate. thanks, bret. see you on "special report." so we're all over the breaking news out of wisconsin. on deck today, former congressman, trey gowdy, gary mccarthy as well as delaware democratic senator chris coons. also this. >> he's going to walk down the street in new york? forget body guards. he better have an army if he thinks he's going to walk down

the street in new york. >> tough talk for governor andrew cuomo after president trump threatens to defund anarchist cities. geraldo rivera will be here with his take. what getting fueled with one protein feels like. what getting fueled with three energy packed proteins feels like. meat! cheese! and nuts! p3. because 3 is better than 1 ♪ oh, oh, (announcer)®! ♪ once-weekly ozempic® is helping meat! cheese! and nuts! many people with type 2 diabetes like emily

>> ed: governor andrew cuomo says president trump better have an army if he come to new york. cuomo responding to his threat to cut funding to what he calls anarchist cities including new york city. the governor went after trump's response to covid-19 in a conference call with reporters. >> look, the best thing he did for new york city was leave. good riddens. let him go to florida. be careful not to get covid. covid ambushed new york due to trump's negligence. he is the cause of covid in new york. >> ed: joining us now, geraldo rivera, host of "road kill" podcast.

politics can get personal from time to time especially when it involves president trump. but this exchange or this -- i don't know -- the levelling of these charges from the governor, andrew cuomo pretty extraordinary. >> john, i've used similar language to governor cuomo, but it was after midnight in dive bars on the lower east side. you know, at a serficial level, it's just macho posturing between two tough guys from the borough of queens. ponder about it, this is the governor of new york speaking about the president of the united states. it's profoundly disrespectful and horrifying. i'm so embarrassed to governor cuomo that he would think to that level. i can only assume that he's being so defensive about the covid epidemic that killed so many new yorkers because john, as you know, he's under fire for allowing infected people to get

put in -- made it an order that they be placed back in a nursing home from once they came, bringing the infection with them, spreading the infection in the nursing home and adding to the death toll. he's keen on making sure that historians put the blame on someplace other than alban any, the state capitol. he prefer it in the lap of of the united states of the united states. this is like de blasio being painted in front of trump's building. it's so low-ball. so small town that i can't believe the capitol of the world is being led by two men that are having hissie fits, john. >> yeah, those that don't live in new york or don't pay a greet deal of attention, bill de blasio and governor cuomo don't have a particularly good relationship either even though they're both democrats. the interesting thing to me, geraldo, if you look at some of what the governor had to say

back in march, april, he was praising the president. now he says the president is responsible for covid 19. listen to these clips. >> kudos where kudos are due. here the vice president and the president responded very quickly. so i want to thank them for that. >> he's been good in delivering for new york. he has. he's delivered for new york. >> he is ready, willing and able to help. >> ed: so you know, full of praise back in march and april. now all of a sudden it's the president's fault says the governor. >> that's why i detest politicia politicians. they're pushing blame away from themselves. saying things when it's advantageous to andrew cuomo, he was fur fullsome in his praise for the president. thank you. now where blame is being a

tributed to who did what when, now it's trump's fault. it's very discouraging and particularly to see it played out in new york, a city that is so beleaguered now. many new yorkers are fleeing the city. they went to their summer homes, those that can afford them and staying there. they're not coming back. suburban housing is now very expensive. apartments on the other hand a crashing, john. >> ed: we have the democratic nominee. your 50-year special is coming up. congratulations to 50 years in broadcasting. let's go to joe biden speaking in kenosha, wisconsin. >> dr. king and bobby kennedy. kennedy was assassinated the day i graduated. i came home and my city is the only city in the united states of america occupied by the military since reconstruction

for ten months. every single corner with a military person drawing a bayonet. not a joke. ten months. i had a job with a good law firm. a well-known law firm. after a while, i concluded that i was in the wrong place. they were good people, but i quit and became a public defender. i used to have -- interview my clients in the northeast corridor where amtrak runs from washington to new york, that area. goes through my city. and i used to interview clients down in the basement of that train station before they were arraigned. here i was thinking that -- we

were to our great shame a slave state when we were one of those border states that fought in the side of the north, thank god. long story short, what happened was i thought black and whites couldn't talk to each other again in our city. here i was then literally. 40 years later to the month standing on the same platform of that train station and walking out over the east side, which had been burned to the ground literally. completely levelled. things get burned out. they come in and level everything. across the christine river, they called it the third street bridge. overwhelmingly 100% african american community. and i was standing on that platform january 17 waiting for a black man to come 26 miles from philadelphia to pick me up

and take me on the train ride to washington d.c. 10,000 people standing down below cheering. my son, beau was alive then. he was the attorney general at the state of at the time. my daughter a social worker raj the largest criminal justice system in the state. my son, middle son, who was running the world food health progr program. i called him up. all of a sudden hit me. here i was in the whole area has been rebuilt. the third street bridge is in a little trouble. things have moved. i told him about the story. my violating social distancing here. i guess i am violating it.

sorry. i said don't tell me things can't change. i reminded him what it was when i was a young attorney. i made a mistake about something. i thought you could defeat hate. hate only hides. when someone in authority breathes oxygen under that rock, it legitimizes folks to come out from under the rocks. and i hadn't planned on running for anything again after my son had died. i was a professor at a college. running another program at another college. till i saw those people come out of charlottesville carrying torches, literally torches coming out of the field. remember what you saw.

veins bulging, hate-filleded speech chanting the anti-semitic vile that came out of the streets of the 30s. an top of that, accompanied by the ku klux klan. the president was asked what you think. something no problem has ever said. he said there's very fine people on both sides. no president has said anything like that. the generic point i'm making is, not all his fault. but it legitimizes the dark side of human nature. what it did though, it also exposed what had not been paid enough attention to, the underlying racism that is

institutionalized in the united states, still exists, has existed for 400 years. and so what has happened is that we end up in a circumstance like you had here in kenosha and have here in kenosha. but, you know, i am, as my -- i had a serious operation years ago. a neurosurgeon gave me a small change. i said i'll be fine. he said you're a congenital optimist, senator. i think we've reached a reflection point in american history. i honest to god believe we have an enormous opportunity now that the screen, the curtain has been pulled back. just what's going on in the country, to do a lot of really positive things. you know, as much as they say, you know, blacks live matter has lost some standing since the president went on this rant

about law and order, et cetera. still you have over 50% of the american people supporting it. it was up to 78. that's never happened before. people are beginning to see because of covid who the people are breaking their necks and risking their lives to keep them safe in their homes. you know, that old definition of a firefighter. god made man and then he made a couple of firefighters. you're all crazy. i grew up in a neighborhood that you became a firefighter or a priest and i wasn't qualified for either. here i am. all kidding aside, think of what has happened. think of all the people. who are all those people? you have over 6,000 young dreamers, "dreamers" in the hispanic community. they're on the front lines dealing with covid. you have all of those folks working in a supermarket stacking the shelves making

five, six, $7 an hour and mostly minorities, african americans, latinos. people are figuring out who we are as a country. this is not who we are. this is not who we are. so the first point i want to make is, i am not pessimistic. i'm optimistic about the opportunity if we seize it. i'm going to respond to each of you had to say. tim, you talked about this a lot more. you have to put money behind the solutions. the country is ready to put that money behind the solutions now. here's what i propose. it will happen. you point out, 30% poverty rate among african americans. the last five years from prison punishment to reform. so for example, anybody serves time in prison may get out, they should be entitled to every program that exists under the federal government. why don't want want them getting a pell grant and going to school?

why don't we want them getting a job for public housing subsidies? why don't we want them qualifying for what used to be called food stamps? right now i wrote years ago a guy named spector, a senator from pennsylvania, the second chance act. right now you get out of prison, you get a bus ticket and $25. by the way, 93% of everybody -- 93% of prisoners are behind a county jail a state yale, not a federal prison. barack and i reduced the prison population by 38,000 folks. anybody that gets convicted of a drug crime, not one that is termed massive, but consumption. they shouldn't go to prison. they should go to mandatory rehabilitation. instead of building more prisons i've been proposing, we build rehabilitation centers.

mandatory. they have to go to mandatory rehab. it's not part of the record when they get out if they finish it. if point you made, you get a record and it stays with you. sorry. you can't get the job. you did the following even if it's a misdemeanor. we shouldn't be putting anybody in jail for that. we should find ourselves in a situation where housing -- right now in the united states of america, we don't have the kind of housing funding we had back in our administration early before that. even the republican administrations. no one should have to pay more than 30% of their income to be able to live and have housing. including people on the street. that's why i propose the $400 billion program to vastly increase available housing in america. by the way, it's not a waste of money. the folks on wall street point out that will increase the gdp, make it grow. people will do better. people will do better. hard as a devil for many of your clients that are block to get a

entrepreneurial business loan. all of the studies show they're just as qualified to be able to succeed as anyone else is. barack and i put together a program with 1.5 billion that brought $30 billion off of the sidelines. we provide that program for the local small business association so you can go and apply. guess what? if you get a loan in the private sector says hey, he has government backing, we'll join him. we'll get in the deal with him or her. we are going to move that to $150 billion. change the way we go. okay. giving you too much. i can see you're about to stand up. mental health. mental health is a badly-needed commodity right now. that's why affordable care act, we insist it be treated equally. no different between a mental health problem and a physical health problem. they're both related to your health. they have -- should be both

covered. talked about the whole idea of federal support. you know, clinics and -- we need community clinics. you guys are expected to do everything right now. barb, you talked about rebuilding. well, you know what? let's get something straight here. protesting is protesting. my body john lewis used to say. but none of it's justifies looting, burning or anything else. so regardless how angry you are, if you loot, you burn, you should be held accountable. period. it's just -- cannot be tolerated across the board. angela, you know, we talk about the whole issue of sentencing. one of the things that i proposed is we make sure that prosecutors are able to have to listen what the option were given to a person. for example, if you're a white guy that can afford a lawyer and

you're charged with a crime, you're not charged with nine crimes. nine and given alternatives. if you plead the least one, we're going to put you on probation. and you have no lawyer. where you have a public defender getting paid half the federal prosecutor is getting paid. public defenders are going to get paid the same of federal public defenders the same amount of prosecutors. so you have representation. once you get that on your record, you have a real problem. well, two people show up for a job, you have that thing you pled to. you weren't guilty of any of it. rather than running the risk of going to jail, you plead to get out from under anything. you get probation. that happens all the time. that's why we have to have the federal department of justice, which is not much of a department of justice right now, have the ability to look at the methods that are used by prosecutors in their offices,

how they in fact deal with sentencing. what they do. a lot more to say, but i probably already said too much. except that there's a lot we're able to do. the public is ready to do these things. i promise you. i promise you. last piece. education. the idea in the united states of america, your education is determined by your zip code. title 1 schools. you know when a title 1 school is. mostly in black and hispanic neighborhoods and poor white neighborhoods where they can't afford the tax base. they don't have -- title 1 schools are able to get $15 billion a year to make up nor the $200 billion gap that exists between them and other schools districts. white school districts. well, guess what? we move that to 45 billion a year. it means i can put every three four and 5-year-old in school,

in school. we learned a lot in the last eight years. every major university in the country has pointed out that increases 58%. the chances of the child no matter when home that i'm came from will get through all 12 years of school. also insist that we provide for -- right now we have one school psychologist every 1,500 and five kids. we know that 60% of a child's brain is developed by the time they reached that age. anxiety exists with children that is identified early can be dealt with. they don't do it now. they can't pick it up. the situation again where when you do that, we know that the most at-risk generation for the first time in american history is the z generation. they have the greatest degree of anxiety of any generation all the way up the scale, no matter where they are. also learning and i'll end with this. you're getting too ansy.

sit down, man. this is important. here's the deal. if you think about it, we finally figured out drug abuse doesn't cause mental health problems. mental health problems cause drug abuse. if you don't detect anxiety in children early and deal with it and treat it, you increase exponentially the prospect that there will find themselves susceptible to what is happening in the community. the generic point, there's so much we can do. so much we can do. we can do it by eliminating the tax cut for the top 1/10 of 1%, which is 1,350,000,000 that is helping nobody. 19 corporations making billion dollars a piece don't pay a single penny in taxes.

i'm not going to punish anybody. everybody should pay a fair share. i'm going to lay out for you now. they'll shoot me. here's the deal. i pay for everything i propose without race raising your taxes one penny. if you make less than $400,000, you'll not pay more taxes. it's not that we can't do this. we haven't been willing to do this. i think the public is ready. i'll do whatever you tell me, boss. >> you are the boss. i know my dad would tell me to sit down, i sat down. i'm good. i think what you heard here was strength, experience and empathy and what we do know is that vice president biden, you and kamala harris have the leadership and strength to restore faith and healing in this country. we appreciate you very much. we're going to continue the community conversations because i'm sure you have more to hear from our community.

would you like to come forward and lead us in the next round, please? >> he was bragging about you. >> hello. i'm porsche bennett. >> ed: joe biden, the democratic presidential nominee making an appearance in a clutch in kenosha, wisconsin. a community meeting it was billed. a chance for the former vice president to talk about some of the problems and some of the violence that has roiled that city in the last week or so. want to bring in the former police superintendent of the city of chicago, gary mccarthy. i know that you've been listening to joe biden. he was talking about criminal justice reform. did you hear anything there that you think is going to be helpful in terms of tamping down the violence that is affecting places like kenosha and chicago

itself. we'll get to chicago in a minute. >> i did, yeah. i like the idea of having the department of justice investigate prosecutions across the country. we've seen it's a big problem. however, especially here in chicago, we started trucking our gun arrests. what happened after we arrested someone with an illegal gun. turns out that in the first quarter of 2015, we actually arrested four people in a 90-day period twice with illegal guns. the first day of the second quarter, three of four of the individuals were back on the street already. if you're not a public safety hazard getting arrested twice with illegal guns in 90 days, i don't know who is. that is very clearly a problem. the rhetoric is great. it's hopeful. real nuggets in there that i think should make a difference.

the end of the day during the obama administration, the department of justice was busy investigating police departments across the country. they very proudly proclaimed that tom perez did more investigations during those eight years than any other time in american history. that i did 28 investigations in police departments across the country and they were political. at the end of the day they all ended up saying the same thing. you can't do 28 separate investigations and come to the same conclusions every single time. when the department of justice came to chicago, people asked me what they were going to say. i said they're going to say what the other 27 that they had done at that point said. which is systemic racism, excess sieve force, poor training, lack of supervision, so on and so forth, which is patently false. the same department of justice was here in chicago during my tenure bringing other police departments to chicago to learn

exactly what we were going to reduce complaints against officers, police-related shootings were were down 75% in my tenure while reducing crime and murder. at the same time, 2013 and 2014 -- >> ed: meantime take a look -- >> the inner city -- >> ed: take a look what's going on in chicago right now. the police department there itself is saying that shootings are up 50% from last year. last year was no great chase. >> yeah. the four years after i was fired resulted in 635 more people being murdered than the four previous years that i was superintendent. we just passed 500 murders on september 1. actually, the end of august. we haven't even reached the fourth quarter yet. in 2012, after i got here in my first year, we had 500 murders and the city council, the

elected officials and the press basically came after me with pitch forks and torches. here now we're looking at a number that could supersede those numbers. it's acceptable. people shrug their shoulders. i'm worried for the future of the city. >> ed: thanks, jerry. the former police superintendent of the city of chicago. thanks very much. >> my pleasure. >> ed: want to bring in fox news contributor, trey gowdy. he also has a new book. doesn't hurt to ask using the power of questions to connect and persuade. congressman, you've been hearing former vice president biden talking in kenosha, wisconsin. he had suggestions about criminal justice reform. your a former prosecutor. what did you think? >> why will the 48th year of your public service be different from the previous 47?

i mean, there's nothing new in what he proposed. so why didn't you do it when you had eight years? firearms prosecutions went down under president obama's department everybody justice. so the department of justice that wanted more gun laws was doing a worse job prosecuting the ones that we currently have. this is where i disagree with vice president biden. i'm a former prosecutor. i think a very small segment of our population wants to hurt you. it's a small group. they don't need reading programs and more money for the bus ride back home. they need to be separated from society. i am open-minded to other folks including narcotic cases. i don't think the ratio for cocaine to base to powder should be 18 to one. but for those that hurt other people, i want you separated from society. i don't care about a reading program. i heard a long list of things that he had a chance to do and

didn't do it. >> ed: the president was criticized for heading to kenosha a couple days ago when he made that visit on tuesday. is it any different for the vice president? i mean, he's not taking the same kind of heat that president trump was. >> yeah. imagine that. the d.c. media has a double standard for republicans and democrats. that is the least shocking thing that i've seen all day. i knew that would happen. president trump, i think, carried wisconsin. he carried the county that he visited. so you should both go or neither go. but apply the same standard. that's why people don't have confidence in the d.c. media right now. >> ed: the vice president was saying that criminal justice reform would do a lot to stem the problems that we saw on exist in kenosha. hasn't that been a hallmark of

the trump administration, criminal justice reform? >> yes, sir. it was the republicans that passed criminal justice renormed signed by a republican president. your viewers have to keep this in mind. 98% of all crime has nothing to do with the federal government. those are state and local matters. you're it beer off switching out your police chief or sheriff. if you want to do something about violent crime, it's not the department of justice. god knows it's not the president. it's your local da. 98% of crime has nothing to do with the united states federal government. so whatever biden is talking about is 2% of the pie. >> ed: can't let you get away without getting thoughts on the criticism that governor cuomo has hurled against the president that he needs an army to protect him if he comes to visit new york city. your thoughts on that. >> yeah, for all of our friends on the left that want to be mindful of the kind of rhetoric

we use, you have cuomo saying you'll be in physical harm if you come despite the fact that you're the president. you have nancy pelosi saying kevin mccarthy is the enemy of the state and republicans have blood on their hands. if we're going to clean up the rhetoric, let's do it on both sides. >> ed: trey gowdy. thank you. >> thank you. >> ed: joe biden in kenosha, wisconsin. i'll speak with senator chris coons on what democrats have to do to win that state in november. so i like to walk. i'm really busy in my life; i'm always doing something. i'm not a person that's going to sit too long. in the morning, i wake up and the first thing i do is go to my art studio. a couple came up and handed me a brochure on prevagen. i've been taking prevagen for about four years. i feel a little bit brighter

>> protesting is protesting my

buddy john lewis used to say. none of us justifies looting, burning or anything else. so regardless of how angry you are, you loot or you burn, you should be held accountable, period. it's just -- cannot be tolerated across the board. >> ed: democratic presidential nominee joe biden in kenosha, wisconsin talking about violence. let's bring in chris coons of delaware. he's a member of the senate judiciary committee. president trump has been making -- basing you might say his campaign on a tough law and order attitude. you heard the same kind of thing there from vice president biden. so why was the president so roundly criticized, senator, for going to kenosha on tuesday? >> john, because there's the critical difference in tone and engagement between what former vice president biden is doing today in kenosha and what

president trump did just a few days ago. joe biden is showing today why he's going to win wisconsin and why he should be our next president. he's showing empathy, balance and engagement. he spent time talking personally with jacob blake and his family, listening to them and their experience. jacob is the young man shot in the back seven times. and now he's listening to a roundtable, to a broadly representative group of civic leaders, law enforcement, business owners, advocates from across kenosha. joe's history, joe's temperament and joe's experience make him capable of bringing america together so that we with get through this pandemic, out of this recession and back in to being a more just and inclusive society. that is why the latest fox polls show him up eight points in wisconsin. >> president trump when he was candidate trump became the first candidate to win kenosha, county

for instance in something like 44 years. he at least four years ago he had reservoir of support in wisconsin. that's the state that helped him win the presidency. you don't think that will happen this time around? >> well, john, i think that was a big upset. it was a serious feather in the cap for the trump campaign in 2016, that they upset hillary clinton. but a couple of things have happened in the last four years. president trump's disastrous trade war with china in terms of its impact on the farming communities of wisconsin have left thousands of farming families either facing depressed commodity prices or depended on government pay-outs. what i hear from soy bean farmers and those involved in delaware would be rather selling than getting payments from the federal government. the economy has turned around dramatically. as you know, donald trump inherited an economy with low unemployment, solid growth.

today we have high unemployment and very weak growth. it's only because in the most recent relief package congress has pushed trillions of dollars into the economy that we're not worse off. the biggest change is that four years ago when then candidate clinton suggested if you elect donald trump, this, this and this bad thing may happen, a lot of americans looked at their lives and said i'll take a chance. what is the the worst thing that could happen? now millions of them know. 55 million americans have filed for unemployment, 180,000 americans have died and our place in the world is weaker than it's ever been. so frankly, donald trump now has a record he has to run on and i think as the folks of wisconsin and kenosha county in particular look at how john bolton is responding to the crisis, they have just had with the shooting of jacob blake and how trump responds, your average wisconsin will pull the lever for john bolton going forward because they want a uniting optimistic

president. >> ed: democratic senator chris coons of delaware. thanks very much. >> thank you. >> turns out, it was a set-up. i take responsibility for falling for a set-up. that's all i'm going to say on that. >> speaker nancy pelosi responding to a backlash over a blow-out and the salon owner firing back. plus, america's death now equals the entire u.s. economy for the first time since world war ii. does anyone in congress have a plan and can both sides ever come together? ♪ i had this hundred thousand dollar student debt. two hundred and twenty-five thousand dollars in debt. ah, sofi literally changed my life. it was the easiest application process. sofi made it so there's no tradeoff between my dreams and paying student loans. student loans don't have to take over
