♪ will: we leave you with this gorgeous sunrise picture from viewer shelley in idaho. ♪ jedediah: have a wonderful day, everyone, we'll see you back here tomorrow bright and early. pete: have a great saturday. ♪ ♪ >> you are looking live at the white house right now. still no word from the president who wants to respond to atlantic article that has caused all sorts of commotion across the country. very little discussion about that jobs report yesterday. we'll get into the details of that. but that continued a steady string of better than expects news on the jobs front. know, all those jobs we lost from the pandemic, we've gained half of them back. i didn't think you knew that because it's not getting much coverage, but it is fair and balanced always here. welcome, everybody, i'm neil

cavuto. man, oh, man, they've got things going on across the country off the jersey shore, one planned on labor day off the coast of florida. celebrating and protesting all at the same time this great country. let's first go to david spunt at the white house on how the president and officials there are handling right now the controversy over a magazine article and no reporting on an employmenting surge. to you, sir. >> reporter: neil, good morning. that atlantic article all the rage here at 1600 pennsylvania avenue. the white house, when donald trump was a real estate mogul in new york, he always bragged and talked about the positive relationships he had with many people in the media, complaining though about the way the media has covered him since he became president of the united states almost four years ago. now, case in point, we talked a little bit about those jobs numbers.

the president, though, held a news conference yesterday at the white house. from the moment he walked out, he talked about those jobs numbers where he plans to take those numbers into a possible second term. the tenor quickly changed after that bombshell report that president canceled a visit to a cemetery in france because the warred dead were, quote, aledly what the president -- allegedly e what the president said losers and suckers. that's a separate cemetery around the psalm time. the president vehemently denying he ever used those words citing a bad weather call instead. listen to the president. >> it's a disgrace that somebody's allowed to write things like that. it could have been, you know, a lot of times the sources aren't sources, they don't exist, and sometimes the sources are just people that are disgruntled

former so-called employees. >> reporter: and the president then complaining about the way he's questioned compared to i watch biden getting asked questions that are really meant for a child to answer, nub could answer, and -- anybody could an, and level of questions that you it's disgraceful. >> reporter: yesterday our colleague, jennifer griffin, confirmed several aspects of the atlantic story but not the most salacious part where the president allegedly used those two words, losers and suckers when talking about the american war dead. the white house looking to move on from out, focusing on those jobs numbers. neil? neil: david, thank you very much. david spunt at the white house. all of this comes at a time when the race is heating up. in fact, it's heating up so much that joe biden, who has by and large sort of been in his

basement in his delaware home, is coming out a lot more and plans key battleground states right after labor day. the president's already done that, of course, in at least half a dozen of these battleground states. the latest from jackie houston rick in delaware. >> reporter: hey, neil. joe biden held his fourth campaign event ofz yesterday. heft hammering president trump on coronavirus, the economy, reported disparaging remarks about america's war dead, and his campaign says to expect a whole lot more of that. biden and his running mate, senator kamala harris, are holding rah separate events this week. harris heading to wisconsin monday, biden heading to michigan and pennsylvania at some point. an eye to early voting windows, expect a combination of round tables, remarks, certainly no rallies. the campaign's relied on texting and calling supporters rather than knocking on doors, and this week launched pickups with

animal crossing and cameo. finish yesterday biden in delaware continued to hammer president trump on the economy citing the lower pace of job gains compared to july with. he misspoke over the jobs report claiming 27 million workers report they couldn't work or lost hours last month because of the pandemic. according to the jobs report, that number's actually 24 million. but he had a message specific clue for economists. specific clue. >> economists are starting to call this recession a k-shaped recession. k means those at the top are seeing things go up. and those in the middle and below are seeing things go down and get worse. >> reporter: biden's strongest reaction came over that report in the atlantic alleging president trump called america's he said it was the closest he

has come to losing husband temper on this campaign and said president trump is unfit to command our troops. neil: all right. jackie, thank you very much. there's been a lot of back and forth on this atlantic a article. be that as out may, and we will get into some of that, the fact of the matter that there are two different standards when it comes to media inquiries of the guy who is already the president, the guy who wants to be president, and it is fairly glaring. i don't care where you stand on this, whether you like the president or dislike him, whether you like joe biden or dislike hum, there are two clear standards here. this might illustrate my point when it comes to how the media deals with joe biden. take a look. recoiling from amputees, what does it tell you about president trump's soul? >> today is the angriest you been as a presidential candidate? there are a lot of people out there who are supporting you or

inclined to not vote for the president who would say why isn't joe bidening angrier? >> president trump mocked you i wonder if you worry that this kind of language that comes from the president of the united states can deer the some americans to not -- deter some americans to not wear a mask. >> let me ask you another thing the president said, he once again suggested voters should consider voting twice. just curious what you make of it. neil: i think what does it tell you about trump's soul? how do you answer a question like that? now i want you to take a gander at the type of questions the president's been getting. take a look. >> back in 2015 you said you didn't think john mccain was a hero, that you prefer people who don't get captured. in height of all that's happened since then and all you've learned, do you regret saying that? >> sir, do you need to apologize

totally. [inaudible conversations] >> go ahead. [inaudible conversations] >> a supporter of yours, prime . president -- >> you are opposed -- [inaudible] mail-in voting. is your postmaster general using to create delays? >> you have a large storm, you have the fallout from these police shootings, is tonight an appropriate time to have a political celebration? neil: all right. look, the white house not a bug fan of mine -- big fan of mine, and i just try to call balls and strikes here,. but, man, oh man, we do have an obligation to be fair and balanced. if we're really going to dig into comments that someone alely said, we've got to do the same about comments in this case the former vice president allegedly said.

when we talk about the president about what did he do and when kid he know it about the severity of the virus and we don't question joe biden on what he knew and what he was saying, bottom line, we're not doing ouu i'm not trying to do that, but just to be compare and tough on both sides, and i do not see that when it comes to coverage of joe biden. that might change, and maybe because of the infrequent appearances before the press. this is really over the top. and i get the fact that the president is the president, he is the commander in chief, he's the one whose moves and utterances carry much more newsworthy clout. i get that. but the fact of the matter is you can't just crag him over the coals -- drag him over the coals without holding the guy who wants his job to, i don't know, the same rough standards. it's been sticking in my craw here, this is not the way in the media should be. marie harp, former state

department spokesperson under barack obama and susan crabtree of real clear politics. marie, i'm not disparaging any more than appraising joe biden, but it's not, it's not in balance, the tone and tenor of the questions not in balance. you could say a lot of this is of president trump's own doing, the controversy that's genre rated by comments either proven or denied. i fete that. semblance of keeping it roughly just as tough when it comes to joe biden. your thoughts. >> well, neil, i think you played out some important points here. first, donald trump is the president right now, and so much of what he's asked about are based on his own comments. you even hear trump supporters say, god, wish he would stop tweeting or stop saying some of these things. i do think joe bind gets more pressure from the press than you might think. he was really pressed, for example, on some comments he's made about race, comments he made in an interview about black

voters or hispanic voters. i also think it's worth pointing out that, yes, you played some tough questions for donald trump9 from the presscorps, but he chooses to do interviews with media figures he knows will not ask him tough questions, and many times those are opinion hosts. so both campaigns, i think, go places where they believe they will get a more positive interview often. that's sort of how this works. and donald trump has used that to his advantage. i don't see trump sitting down with really tough reporters in one-on-one interviews either. a8:su with them either on his own, marine one, takes questions and takes on any and all comers. i get what you're saying about, you know, the venues you might choose, but, you know, you could just say the former vice president has not done the psalm. i'm trying to compare apples to apples, meeting in a press

conference typesetting. this lies the difference. finish super, all i'm saying -- susan, all i'm saying on this, and it's part of a bigger picture, and it really occurred when we were talking about the virus and who knew what and when. we can back in time and talk about a what the president knew, what he didn't know, i don't think that does a lot of good right now just to deal with the virus as it is, maybe investigate that stuff later. then i come to discover that joe biden himself had minimized the severity of this back in january and february and into march when he himself was holding large rallies. that never comes up. i'm not saying the press should just bash biden any more than i'm saying the press should bash the president or give either a break. hold them to the same standards. what the president knew at the time, what the guy who wants to think that's unfair. >> i think you're absolutely right. i'm all for all fair in love,

politics. certainly the end of the campaign, october surprises maybe the president's polling numbers were closing in, he was biden, so you're going to have a tough story come out. you should be expecting that. but what happened yesterday was an abject fail cure at the biden -- failure. it was an extension of politics, and the journalists were asking really easy questions. i mean, it was like they had the kid gloves on. i'm a mother, so i like this metaphor that my colleague use yesterday. it was like, you know, they were letting a 3-year-old win at candyland and not even, like, you know, it's not like taking can duh from a baby, it was like giving candy to a baby. they were asking him to -- they were giving his answers before they even answered them and say what do you think of -- i think of it like this. why don't you get angrier. i mean, the reason you know this was abject failure in journalism

yesterday at that press conference was during the outwith let are ors cnn and others, were very tough on joe biden. they were talking about husband need to issue -- that he was a creditor -- neil: i want to go back to that. see, susan, that's what i want to go back to. lee carter, your thought on this coming up in any survey? >> you know what i think though? i think the thing that's so fascinating, the thing that i am so focused on is they're not asking joe biden about joe biden, they're asking joe biden about donald trump. that means that all he has to do is react to donald trump. his whole message aunt-donald trump. 75% of the time he spent on the convention was about how bad donald trump is. so it's not allowing him to tell his own story, and i'm not sure that's good for him because only 30% of voters out there know what joe biden is going to do for america. everybody else is voting for him because he's against donald trump, and i don't think that's

good when you talk to undecided voters. we've talked to people who are independent, they want to hear joe biden's story from joe biden. and if all he's going to do is react to donald trump and all of the vitriol, it's not good for him. of. neil: all right. to step back if we could. thank you all, again, very, very much. and, again, i do want to pound this point after talking to journalists here, talking to journalists everywhere, we have an obligation to report aggressively things that look good, things that look bad. you know, you might tick off people either in the white house white house. but it's called doing your job. let's do out. we'll have more after this. wilh accident forgiveness allstate won't raise your rates just because of an accident. cut! is that good? no you were talking about allstate and... i just... when i... accident forgiveness from allstate. click or call for a quote today.

ballots to all 7.8 million registered ohio voters. with us right now the is franklin rose, the republican secretary of state from ohio. secretary, very good to have you. thank you for taking the time. what north carolina is doing, or is it essentially the same thing? >> well, what we're doing here in ohio is exactly the same thing that ohio's been doing since 2012. we send out an application for an absentee ballot otto 7.8 million registered voters giving ohioans the choice. of course, you'll still have the choice if you don't opt for absentee, you have four weeks of early voting, and of course, the polls will be open on november 3rd as well. the process we have is safe and secure, and ohioans have trusted it for a long time. neil: so so that's an application for an absentee ballot. sometimes we get caught up in the semantics here, but is that the same as a mail-in ballot? >> you know, in ohio we have

used those terms interchangeably for a while because the only way but in ohio we also have been distinguishing from those states that, for example, send an absentee ballot to everyone whether they ask for one or not such as oregon and washington. we have ab absentee process that ballot harvesting, we maintain accurate rolls. those are all things that cause ohioans to trust this process. neil: how does it work in terms of when they have to get the application back and have the absentee e ballot, whatever you want to call it, done? >> this is one of the reasons why we've actually been moving the process up a little bit. we got those applications out in the mail a little bit earlier than usual. we're encouraging ohioans to full them out and send them back as soon as they can. they're got really all the way until the end of october, but we're talking about flattening the curve in a different way here so that we don't overwhelm

the boards of elections right before election day. so they have until the end of october, but we don't want them to wait that long. and, of course, those ballots don't start going out until october 6th. for example, my wife and i mailed in our request yesterday. ãwill mail us our ballot right around october 6th or 7th, and we'll be watching for out. neil: all right, secretary, thank you very much. ohio's secretary of state on this latest move. maybe a more lodge call middle ground to get ballots out to the applications to get the ballots. we'll be watching the buckeye state very closely. also we're watching for a vaccine. the president's very optimistic one could bed ad as soon as october. others agree with that, but a number of the big pow tech companies right now are planning on adhering still to rigorous safety standards that might delay that but not deny that. the delay, if there is one, and what it could mean, after this.

♪ ♪ neil: all right. taking a look at the markets this past week, you look at that, well, it's not that bad. the dow down about 2%, nasdaq down a little more than 3%, s&p 500 down 2.3%, most of those from record territory. but, man, oh, man, out got crazy on thursday and friday as technology stocks are taking it on the chin that they had run up too far, too fast, amazon, apple, a host of others, just getting bludgeoned. they are still up in excess of 35% on the year. a little of that was unwound on friday after thursday. these are volatile times. we might see more of this close e we get to the election,s and

despite the continued good economic news or at least ke, a strong employment report. and the trend is the friend. with us now to read on all of this, the former trump economic adviser, best selling author steve moore, heather zumarraga as well, follows markets and economic issues very closely. steve, to you on the markets and the craziness right now that seemed to ignore the good employment news. maybe just respond to, hey, technology's run up a lot, what do you think? >> well, i think, neil, there was a little bit of irrational exuberance in that huge runup in the nasdaq. i mean, the nasdaq is now at all-time highs even with those reductions that happened on thursday and friday. and when you've got two trillion dollar companies like apple and amazon, that's a pretty amazing

valuation. but, look, the good news for the economy was that jobs report, no question about it. with we gained 10 million jobs in four months. think about that, neil, 10 million jobs in four months, almost half the jobs that have been lost. a bug job ahead of us to get thoseé!3'ea back, but i'm the ultimate optimist, neil, as you know, i never thought we'd be where were right now. neil: heather, let me ask you about, you follow also consumer sentiment and attitude, how shoppers feel, whether they want to go out and shop, where they will. still i was noticing all the papers today a lot of doom and gloom fore californias about holiday spending and how it's going to go, they're reluctant to continue doing so. what to you make of all of this? >> even's shopping online, right? -- everyone's shopping online. not only do we have parts of the economy still shutdown, but you have amazon, wayfair, ebay, they're all up.

people shopping at wal-mart online, for example, also. so they're doing very well. but it's online. so i think you will see consumer spending into year's end so long as we have people going back to work. we're moving in the right direction as steve say. we've got the unemployment rate below double double jilts now, and according to the household survey over three million people who wanted a job found a job and were able to go back to work. so i think it was a great report. on early on when they were pushing that are doctor $600 a week federal stimulus benefit on top of what people would get from their states. you would argue at the time that not necessary to come back anytime soon. i think this was supposed to go through july. now there's an effort to look back at some of the numbers since it went away, and a good

number of those job gains might have come because those federal unemployment benefits stopped. what do you make of that? >> thank you for mentioning that, neil. because when i was on your show a number of weeks ago, i made this point that the $600 a week unemployment benefits which was paying 80% of workers more money to stay unemployed than to go back to work, i had said this is a majorle to go back to work. it was one of the reasons that a lot of small businesses that were opening up couldn't get their workers back, and boy, i was bludgeoned. this is cruel policy, and, of course they said this about donald trump. work force. now, there are a lot of reasons, but one of the reasons is that we weren't paying people more not to work than to work. you know, economics is all about incentives. if you incentivize people to go back to work, that's why i love the payroll tax cut, that's why donald trump does.

democrats who keep saying we've got to do things to help the muddle class don't want to pass this payroll tax when we did id it under obama ten years ago, they said it was the best thing ever. neil: yeah, we did it twice, in fact. heather, the markets, weird as they are, they love stimulus. this once laissez-faire institution is open and eager for federal bailouts, so that, hence, the attention on the stimulus bill and all. it just seems weird to me, but what do you think about it? >> well, look, who doesn't like stimulus, right? everybody would like a helping hand especially during the pandemic. and that was given. paycheck program, for example, saved tens of millions jobs. but to steve's point, you have people going back to work. president trump through executive order has extended the sup lightal concern supplementav but at $300 a week so people

aren't making more by staying home. yeah, it does maybe sound insensitive when you're saying you don't want to extend the supplemental bonus, but people are still getting help through the states on normal unemployment insurance. look, the markets want stimulus from the fed and from congress when they get back from their vacation next week, and whether that does or doesn't happen, you have to remember just a week ago the markets were hitting all-time highs almost every day. so it's very natural to have some sort of correction on the backs of what we've had, a tremendous rally since the end of march. >> could i make one -- neil: real quick, steve. very quickly. >> okay. the number one -- the sector that grew fastest in employment, people haven't really looked closely at these numbers, was governor hiring. we don't need nancy pelosi to get $80 billion to states and cities. they're -- when you get the economy open up, it helps state and city finances as well. neil: i hear you. we've got a lather over the

nancy pelosi thing.

having nothing to do with whether the president is liked or disliked and everything to do with it's a little dicey in new york now. what do you think? >> you know what, neil? instead of making veiled threats like this, the governor should realize that president trump is going to have, you know, a secret service contingent with hum for the rest of his life. not only that, he's well liked by many new yorkers, including myself and many in the law enforcement community. we'll be glad to form that army to walk down the streets with him. we'll be proud. governor cuomo should also realize that it wasn't that long ago that he was begging the president for his help, which he got, and the president bent over backwards for this state to make it one of the safest states right now with the covid. politics at instead of thinking about the people, stop speaking for all of us, governor cuomo. speak for, you know, the minority that you see that really hates the president, all right? don't speak for all of us

the same thing. neil: joe, i always know where you're coming from, so i always appreciate that. thank you very, very much for your service, protecting law and order for many, many decades. he's not that old a guy, but -- [laughter] a lot more coming up here. you know, you always hear students getting blamed by college administrators, university presidents they party too much and now they have ruined out for, well, in-person chats and worse. classes and worse. i've got a university student who begs to differ. she's furious at some of those other kids, some of those other partiers because she says they're the ones ruining out for her. rade. oh yeah, you going to place it? not until i'm sure. why don't you call td ameritrade for a strategy gut check? what's that? you run it by an expert, you talk about the risk and potential profit and loss. could've used that before i hired my interior decorator. voila!

>> welcome, everybody. welcome, it's labor day weekend. aren't is? are you jetting off somewhere and going somewhere and travelling somewhere? the traffic is up a little bit this weekend from, obviously, where we were, but not nearly as much as where we were a year ago when traffic was about 80% higher than it is today and it's post, i guess concurrent covid-19 world. let's get the latest from christina coleman in santa monica, california with what she's seeing. christina. >> hi, neil, well, yeah, travel is expected to be down this labor day weekend this year because of concerns over coronavirus. many people are staying close to home and many people are flocking to beaches in their

home state, especially here in california. you have a lot of people doing the staycation. now, triple-a says that americans are taking 15% less trips compared last july through september, but government officials are urging caution this holiday weekend and hoping not to have the coronavirus spreading activities like the big parties we've seen on memorial day and fourth of july weekend. and warning what happened this weekend could have a big impact on the fall. a heatwave is expected to blanket parts of the west this weekend, bringing triple digit temps over california. and l.a. county lifeguards are expected many along the miles of coastlines that they monitor. and campgrounds, santa monica mountain range where most of them are full. most who travel for the official last weekend of summer are doing so by car, but industry trade organization, airlines for america, expects about 17.5 million passengers

to travel on u.s. airlines worldwide over this holiday weekend. that's a 4% increase compared to the same holiday period last year. and these officials, they say the flights are offered at huge discounts, which is why so many people are flying on these u.s. airlines during this holiday weekend worldwide. neil. neil: christina, thank you very much. christina coleman in santa monica, a beautiful place. charles watson looking at what's in the backup for everyone here, covid-19, the safety of getting out of town and all of that is on everybody's mind. charles is in atlanta, georgia with more on the outbreaks, sir. >> the c.d.c. is asking states to be prepared to distribute a coronavirus vaccine as early as november, in a letter to the nation's governors, c.d.c. director, robert redfield is requesting states trim the approval process of centers

where an it would be distributed. and they may be able to waive vaccine distribution would not compromise the safety or integrity of it. and public health officials have criticized the early fall time line if enough data would be available to safely administer a vaccine and proximity to election day. the trump administration officials are denying any political motivation. >> any vaccine that comes out is going to meet f.d.a.'s gold standards for authorization or licensure, the president made that clear, i've made it clear, the f.d.a. commissioners made it clear. >> covid-19 is killing more police officers this year according to nonprofit organizations. more than 15% line of duty deaths are virus related. shootings are a distant second

and several competing pharmaceutical companies will release a joint statement in the coming days committing to a safe release of a coronavirus vaccine, neil. neil: charles watson, thank you very much. charles in atlanta, georgia. we have senator bill cassidy with us right now. he's not just a passive observer, the louisiana republican on the senate finance committee was diagnosed with covid-19. how are you feeling now, senator? >> i feel much better. i had 11 days of isolation and my family took care of me, garage apartment. right now, maybe my nose is not the same, but a minor problem relative to what other people experienced. neil: how did you first find out about it? what were you experiencing? >> yeah, my district director picked me up at the new orleans airport, drove me back to baton rouge, we both wore a mask. he called me, said he'd been

diagnosed with coronavirus. and called me and said i've got coronavirus. and i checked and went home, and told me i was positive and i went straight up to my garage apartment. neil: man, oh, man, i don't want to belabor the point. this seems to be incredibly contagious. and a new jersey campground, they come down with it, and a college campus. what is it about it that keeps it such a bedevilling virus, so much so that the national institute of health and others are saying we could see anywhere to 250, 300, 450,000 die of this by the end of this year, what do you think? >> well, you've got two things in there, neil. why so infectious? it can be spread by people breathing. and with my case, we were in a closed car with the windows up

for about an hour and a half. neil: right. >> even though we're both wearing masks, so that allowed the spread. we can cut down the death rate. we know who is susceptible to death. most not all, but most are 80 plus years of age. and so, if you go to a nursing home, for example, and you particularly take care of folks going in and out of that nursing home, making sure they're not infected, you decrease the death rate dramatically. similarly, somebody with diabetes, hypertension, don't go out, have your groceries delivered. we know you're at particular risk. if we cordon off those who are at risk, we can decrease the death rate until the vaccine comes out. neil: there are a lot of schools, in your state, elsewhere, that are reopening, some tentatively, and some with virtual classes. the fear isn't so much that kids are susceptible to getting

this virus, which they are, i understand that, not in the numbers older folks are, but older folks could catch it from them. how real a threat is that? do you believe particularly p your own experience, that maybe some symptoms should be cautious. >> it is a threat. i've seen people more likely to be infected in the community and bring it to schools than to catch it at the schools. and there's clear data that children who are in elementary school can go to school with minimal spread in the classroom. it's more common that people get it at a labor day barbecue, playing volleyball with friends and they catch it and then they get detected when they come to school or the workplace. so we've got to keep your our guard with loved ones and tend to feel we're safe. >> many have said that this goes on for quite some time.

there's still a delay in indoor restaurant dining in manhattan. and i could go on about others who say, you know, no broadway shows, no big extravaganza event through christmas and beyond. is this out window, if you will, get public further and further back? does it concern you? >> well, of course it concerns me, i tell folks to emotionally be prepared for this epidemic, if you will, to continue through 2021. but ideally, the vaccine is available in the late fall, early winter. ideally, people who are most at risk of complications take it, even if some don't, but everybody in a nursing home does. i heard before you brought me on, police officers, 50% of the deaths are related to coronavirus. you want those men and women in blue to be protected from everything. ideally, they're being vaccinated and they're also

protected. so if we're able to concentrate the vaccine upon those at highest risk and those being infected and dieing, and you can see an immediate impact even if the virus continues throughout society. >> what did you do all that time you were locked in your garage apartment or whatever? how did you pass the time? >> so, fortunately, zoom calls continue when you're in isolation. and so, my-- so my staff had me connecting, but that was okay. hurricane laura hit my state during that time period. i spoke to the president when i was in isolation while he was committing to whatever federal resources were needed for people in my state. i could also call up and say, listen, these people need these resources, i happen to know those folks have it. can we make this connection? so you're able to continue to do things by phone even if you can't get out and about. neil: all right. i'm glad you're on the mend and your family as well. senator, thank you, very very

much. >> thank you, neil. neil: good seeing you. a lot more. we've had protests on this labor day weekend, a couple of big ones planned later this afternoon in new york city and in washington d.c., in kentucky, even though this is derby day. a no justice, no derby protest over the breonna taylor shooting death. the bottom line, it's not all just protests. some are celebrating america and along the new jersey coast there's a flotilla in support of law enforcement, health care workers, soldiers, you name it. so, this is the weekend you espouse political views of one sort or the other. stay with us, you're watching fox news. we renovated the guest room, so you can live with us. i'm good at my condo. well planned, well invested, well protected. voya. be confident to and through retirement.

>> all right. we told you a little earlier that the president is making moves right now that cities that have ongoing violence or promise to cut or defund their

police departments or not be on top of this violence, he's going to be defund them. or at least cut federal funds expressly purposed from them. we heard from a police, former lieutenant who supported that news. fair and balanced i want to get to adam smith, democrat washington services chairman. i would think is maybe not quite in favor of this. congressman, very good to have you. thank you for taking the time. what do you think of the president? >> look, he's trying to stoke division here. we've got real problems in this country. we're very divided on a whole host of issues, we need to address the issues and bring people together and figure out how to solve those problems. threatening to cut off funds from cities that are already hurting because of the economic downturn because the increased expenses of covid are the last thing they need is to have more money cut, struggling to deal with the covid and what's going on.

we need to address the concerns of excessive force in law enforcement and racism. don't continue to try to ramp up the conflict. neil: he will argue from the federal perspective, we give you these moneys that are supposed to go to law enforcement or the like, and you're not using it for that. or you're reallocating it. >> well, that's-- >> that these local authorities are the ones that-- what do you say? go ahead. >> the problem is, and the president has made a lot of hay off of picking things online, picking the most extreme views out there and acting like they are reflective of what is happening. they're not. i mean, you can find anything you want on the internet in terms of people expressing extreme positions. we've not defunded the police in seattle. i don't know any single city in america that's defunded the police or significantly cut the budget. it hasn't happened. we have one bill that was voteed by the mayor that would

have reduced certain aspects of the budget 1%. it hasn't happened and yet, that's what the president is focusing on. instead of focusing on the problems we have in law enforcement and they're very real problems. you know, we have designed a certain way of doing law enforcement in this country that's very aggressive, that is focused on treating interactions as mortal threats and focused on telling police officers that they need to dominate all of these encounters, that's caused an escalation in violence and i would love to see us focus on that reform. i don't support defunding the police. i don't think that funding is the issue. i think the way they're trained and the way they do their job is the issue, but the president isn't addressing that. he is simply trying to-- >> isn't he trying to address, sir, the violence that has ensued? you're quite right to bring up issues of rechannelling, the police, dealing with minorities in particular, the way they arrest people and down to the very operations?

i get that. but there's very little talk and i heard this out of the oregon governor yesterday talking about various initiatives that have gone to play in the state and not one, not one do address the violence in the state. and i'm just wondering if it's a lopsided view and that's what creates this fear to the american people when they see these images around the country and no one is speaking out aggressively against it. >> well, i think more can be done to address the violent aspects of what's going on. there's no question about that. but, again, that's not really what the president is doing. he's not taking steps that are going to reduce the violence. he's taking steps that are simply going to exacerbate the problem. yes, i think more can be done to try to deal with the violence. now, i will also say that the president and his supporters are exaggerating it unbelievably. we've seen things, they've shown videos purportedly of violence in the u.s., that's footage of things happening in

other parts of the world. they're purposely trying to make it seem worse than it was. today i drove through bellevue to downtown seattle where i'm sitting now and it's perfectly fine. i'm going to go for a walk after i get out of the studio. it's not-- the city of portland is not on fire. let's not exaggerate. neil: to be fair, congressman, portland has had 100 days of protests. >> oh, absolutely. neil: and by and large people, but then it's morphed into something worse and the president says i've got to bring in troops there because the mayor or governor can't handle it. what do you think of that? >> let me be clear, there's no question there's violence. i feel it's interesting that the president and supporters feel the need not just to address what's happening, but to exaggerate. why do we feel the need to exaggerate. on its own exaggerations don't help. what needs to be done is not what the president is doing. basically what he said.

this happened from the very start of the protests. his response was, you have no legitimate right to protest. we will crush you, we saw that play out most aggressively and egregiously in lafayette square when they cleared out protesters who were not at that time in any way being violent and the message that sent is, i don't care what you're talking about, i'm not going to address it. so i really believe that addressing the underlying reason for the protests is one of the best things we can do to address the violence, but yes, we also need a law enforcement effort to respond to what is continuing to happen in too many places. the president's not cooperating. he's not working with the city. not working with the state. i wish everyone would take a step back and say, we all have the same interests at heart. we want more peaceful and stable communities. the president seems to ramp that up in a conflict oriented way that doesn't help. i'd like to see the federal government working with the cities not threatening it cut off their funds, but trying to

find ways so we can cooperate and improve this for everybody. >> congressman, thank you very much. we'll see what happens. congressman adam smith of washington. we have a lot more coming up to follow up on what the congressman was just pointing out. how far do you go? and how far do you police the police and then the violence being addressed by the police? it's a very controversial subject. someone who has some thoughts on how to get both sides together after this.

>> all right, there are protests and then there are events like this. this is huge flotilla off the coast of new jersey. some heading north, others south and to show support right

now, 2000 strong in support of police, nurses, law enforcement in general they say it's a great country and they like the president as well. it's not political as much as it is in support of law enforcement. and by and large they say are not getting fair treatment in the protests across the country and many of which are planning those in washington d.c., new york city, rochester, new york, the latest hot spot. they're saying you know what? we still think that law enforcement is doing a good job and that the president is doing a good job. it's a point no doubt echoed by my next guest. patrick, fraternal order of police, the national president, the big cheese so we're honored to have him and he made news by backing -- again, this is the nation's largest police union, donald trump. they've not often done that sort of thing, but they did. patrick is here to tell us why he did.

very happy to have you. why did you throw your support behind the president? >> thank you for having me. yeah, we've worked very closely with president trump over the last four years on many initiatives. one of them was the first step act, which is the largest police reform act that's happened in recent time. and we were very proud to be the only labor organization that stood and recognized that we want to find ways to improve better the criminal justice system and we also worked with the president closely on his executive order and also with congress. in both the house and senate, hoping that we could find some ways to improve, have fact-based discussions and approve the quality of law enforcement. unfortunately, we know what's happening in congress and we're kinding of at a stalemate there. and the president's executive order is the only police reform out of this. and our members are also members of our communities as well, and we have concerns, but we also have interesting for us, unlike other organizations, we have a process where our members are actually part of the decision in making our

endorsement. it's what happened yesterday. we completed our process with polling our members across the country and each one of the states that would exist and got a unanimous support to endorse president trump for a second term. neil: had any of the group made a pitch for joe biden, talked to joe biden, asked what he would do if he were president, anything like that? >> well, you know, on the local level, it's very possible. the way our process works is each state addresses or has the polling of the members and each one of their state representatives cast a vote for their particular state. it would be naive to say there aren't some that are some supporters of vice-president biden, but unanimous could support president trump. neil: and had on washington congressman adam smith who said the president has not been as

beneficial to the law enforcement effort or keeping the peace effort. his tone and his tenor has actually sparked more unrest. what do you think of that? >> what i will say is this. you know, i think what we have in america today is an unwilling inest to sit down and have a meaningful discussion based on fact. and when we do that there's no solution, there's no problem we can't find a solution to, but we're just not motivated on each side to do that. i can tell you a as an organization and we've reached out to the president on issues of law enforcement and not once have we walked away have we had meaningful dialog. in that respect, i have a different opinion and dinner experience than perhaps the congressman. neil: what are your thoughts on this defund police movement or at least, reallocate their funds, which guess would be

defunding. what do you think of this? >> it's obvious, one thing for sure, we defund police. i wonder, i wonder if this is not just a narrative that's run awry and has turned into a much larger discussion that maybe we really don't-- can't wrap our arms around. what does a society look like without rules and rule of law? if you look at every community. those who are least likely to be able to help themselves are the ones that are going to be hurt the most. if you start taking away law enforcement, give us trust in the community and one is being properly trained and the other one is, the community based programs that respect the community. if you cut funding, those are cut first. our ability to build those relationship that the allow us to have thriving communities are going to be hampered even worse by this whole thought of taking funds away from law

enforcement. neil: patrick, i want to thank you very much, the fraternal order of police national president. following developments across the country and saying as far as his group is concerned, the president is the one to address it. not his opponent. we have a lot more coming up, including back in new york of this restricting that will continue on indoor dining throughout new york city. a lot of restaurants are sort of hanging on vine and when they heard the mayor all but promise this will continue through the rest of the year and maybe well into next year, well, it started a food fight. two restaurant owners on what kind of a food fight after this. . - safe drivers save 40%!!! guys! guys! safe drivers save 40%!!! safe drivers save 40%! safe drivers save 40%!!! that's safe drivers save 40%. it is, that's safe drivers save 40%. - he's right there. - it's him! safe drivers do save 40%. click or call for a quote today.

i'm a delivery operations manager in san diego, california. we've had a ton of obstacles in finding ways to be more sustainable for a big company. we were one of the first stations to pilot a fleet of zero emissions electric vehicles. the amazon vans have a decal that says, "shipment zero." we're striving to deliver a package with zero emissions in to the air. i feel really proud of the impact that has on the environment. but we're always striving to be better. i love being outdoors, running in nature. we have two daughters. i want to do everything i can to protect the environment to make sure they see the same beauty i've seen in nature.

my goal is to lead projects that affect the world. i know that to be great requires hard work. >> the state has been right there with us and understanding the challenges that come with indoor activity, especially indoor activity where people don't wear masks like in dining and we're going to do what's in the interest of the people in the city and keep them healthy and safe. neil: well, a lot of restaurant owners heard that after the mayor said that, all, but confirming the fact that indoor dining isn't going to be going anywhere, maybe this year. that is put off indefinitely and they just vomited-- not literally, but a lot of them were apoplectic, and many of them are suing, and my next

guests, two and they're suing they're here. shane hathaway, and guys, thank you very, very much for joining us, jason, if i could begin with you, when you heard that the mayor was saying, maybe not this year at all, what were you thinking? >> i thought that he was pushing this industry into even further tailspin. an industry that employs over 600,000 people in this city and he just is cutting their livelihood away. neil: you know, it's interesting, too, because if you think about it, shane, the very same-- roughly the same time that the mayor was outlining these plans for no indoor dining to continue, just across the river, the hudson river in new york to new jersey, they were resuming indoor dining, albeit at 25% capacity. what did you think of that?

>> it's a tough pill to swallow. here we are with lower than 1% infection rate and we're been doing according to the mandates and building up and seeing such a livelihood of people around the outdoor dining and it's tough that across the river they are allowed to go in and our customers are not. i mean, you have that also on the borders of long island and queens, 500 feet away. neck go in, but can't. this doesn't make sense. i mean, i guess you can understand on some level as to why, but at the same time, i mean, when it comes down to it, give us reasons. give us-- show us more, give us answers, give us some kind of plan and maybe we could have a better understanding of what you're doing. neil: you know, i began to look into what he was charging and, jason, one thing i discovered, you talk about the fear and infection rates could rise if

people gather in places like indoor restaurants and the rest. but that has rarely happened, those that have 25% capacity and wear a mask, coming in, leaving. so what is he looking at that we're missing? >> that's a great question. when the rest of the state is already 50% indoor, we're talking about metrics. we're talking population of a city that's emptying out. that population sense density is not the same. just because you open indoor dining doesn't mean that everyone is running for a restaurant. we have to be prepared for whatever mandates are given to us. give us the plan of things to meet and we'll get there. neil: so, do you guys have outdoor dining? obviously, delivery. any other way to make money?

>> i mean, if there's no indoor dining, there's some limited space outside and the attending colder weather coming, besides delivery, which, you know, that gets to be an interesting topic, but our food isn't geared toward that. we're more of a hospitable come hang get to know us kind of environment. the delivery takes away the elements that we do as individuals and as a staff and as just as a whole business. and so, you know, i don't know what are the answers. we'll discuss that, obviously, and see what you have to do, but it also depends on what they're going to allow us to do. neil: you know, jason, i noticed that-- i think i'm right on this, that you guys are not part of that multi-billion dollar lawsuit being filed by other restaurants against the city and the state for this very restrictive measure. are you interested in joining

it? we've been exploring that ourselves. because bill who started that lawsuit is only 500 feet from the long island border. so in their restaurant they can't have anybody inside. take a stroll down the city block and they can go inside. for us we're in the heart of midtown manhattan, there's not the close proximity of other options, we understand. if litigation is the only way to move forward as we saw with gyms, with other industries, then that's what we'll have to do. neil: all right. i hope it works out, guys. you've got a very good reputation, so i hope cooler, calmer heads prevail on this. they're the co-owners of lopez kitchen and spirits, quite the attraction.

unable to do anything because of these measures. we'll keep you posted and also posted on the president coming after the atlantic, what he calls fake news for alleging he had called soldiers killed in combat losers and suckers. jennifer griffin on that. it might not all be fake. it's the ones that got away that haunt you the most.

>> it's a disgrace that somebody is allowed to write things like that. it could have been sources a lot of times are not sources that exist and sometimes sources are just people that are disgruntled, former so-called employees. >> all right. so, the president said yesterday that this atlantic, you know, magazine article on him in which he has claimed that troops killed in combat are losers and suckers, was fake news, never happened, he never said it. the fallout has been swift as he's been trying to pound that

message and others have come back to say, well, we're hearing otherwise. the bottom line, there's a lot of confusion around this. jennifer griffin has been exploring in detail. >> my sources include two trump senior officials on the trip that was made and there were looking at parts of the atlantic, and descriptions that coincided with the atlantic. and when the president spoke with the vietnam war, it was a stupid war, anyone who went was a sucker. according to this source the president would say about the american veterans, what's in it for them. they don't make any money. the source says it's a character flaw of someone, he could not understand why someone would die for their country, it was --

and someone said she heard at arlington in front of robert kelly's grave. according to the source, he was not in a good mood, he was furious at macron, why he had to do two cemetery, why do i have to do two. he was planning one on the first day and one on the second day. if the president could have driven to the cemetery in what was described as a drizzle, the rain was a drizzle, this former official said the president drives a lot. the other world leaders drove to the cemeteries, he just didn't want to go. separately, during a white house planning session after seeing bastille day parade in france, president trump did not want to include in the parade according to the source in the meetings, quote, wounded guys. that's not a good look. americans don't like that. according to this source, who was present, again at those

meetingsments my source also said the president just hated john mccain. he always asked why do you see him as a hero? multiple sources confirm the president did not want the flags lowered after mccain died, but others in the white house ordered them at half staff. there was a standoff, i remember it, i was covering it at the pentagon at the time. the standoff ended and the president relented with regards to the flags at half staff. neil. neil: so jennifer, let me ask you. the gist of the atlantic article, you know, you could look at the comments if it was disparaging when john mccain was alive and even when he died in 2015 and couldn't admire someone who was captured, didn't make him a hero. and he did have a track record of speaking like this. but many of the president's supporters had come out to say, this sort of back and forth

tied to these visits, you know, military graves, particularly german graves, visiting losers is not the context that the atlantic article framed it or you just framed it. what do you say? >> i circled back with my source this morning, he firmly said this was not a one-off. there was no plan to visit the german war dead and that the president didn't know that the presidents were buried in that cemetery. according to my source, he use suckers and that term repeatedly to describe mccain and anyone who went to vietnam. he always described, according to the source, vietnam vets as those who couldn't get out of it and he would often say to his advisors when they suggested that he would go to visit the war dead, what is it about you guys and guys who get killed? so there was a-- he used losers--

that's a big part of the president's vernacular, i think everyone who has been around him knows that, and again, there are multiple instances within that article, multiple issues with particularly with regards to the way described wounded warriors in that meeting to plan the july 4th parade once confirmed by people in the meeting, eye raising because i've worked with wounded warriors for a long time in my role with the pentagon and it's pretty shocking when you hear this kind of terminology used to describe them. neil: you know, jennifer, i'm not sure you're aware, but the president has been tweeting about you, saying that jennifer griffin should be fired for this kind of reporting, never called us for a comment. fox news is gone. what do you think of that? [laughter] >> first of all, i was in constant comment and john roberts was working his sources at the white house and i was

working my source assen we teamed up at bret baier's show and it was straight down the middle. deep throat was a source, and did not make what he said untrue. my sources are anonymous to me, and doubtful that they're anonymous to the president. neil: and one exposed them on air, we only read a lot into relative silent, john kelly, his former chief of staff. he's not said anything about this. is it fair to say these are not just people around him. john bolton made the comment when they were in france and he was there with the president, none of this transpired, none of the language transpired. is it fair to say other people around him, more than john bolton was at the time, that there are more people talking about this than we know? >> i think it's possible to think that the president had conversations that didn't involve, you know, 10, 15

people and so you can imagine that not everyone was always involved in every conversation, but i can tell you that my sources are unimpeachable. i feel very confident with that we have reported at fox. not every line of the atlantic article did i confirm, but i would say that most of the descriptions and the quotes in that atlantic article i did find people who were able to confirm and so you know, i feel very confident in my reporting. of course, you know, it's always better when people come on camera, but you can see how people get destroyed when they get cross with the president and they come out and people are reluctant. they've seen the way the-- the language that used to describe people and the way, you know, twitter has been weaponized against them and i

think that they just don't feel they need that kind of grief right now. what they're saying they feel strongly is accurate. they were there and i'm a reporter and it was my job to report what i heard. neil: and jennifer, you're a very good reporter. jennifer griffin following a story here. she's pretty scrupulous when it comes to making sure all the i's are dotted and the t's are crossed. more after this. dolph lundgren, you've got a one-sixty i.q.,

a master's in chemical engineering and you're technically a genius... and it appears you're quite the investor. i like to trade. well, td ameritrade has pros ready if you need help, say talking through a new strategy... ... just in case things, you know, get a little rocky? i'm sorry on the upside i think that's waterproof. maybe not... ♪ i'm happy to give you the tour, i lohey jay. it. jay? charlotte! oh hi. he helped me set up my watch lists. oh, he's terrific. excellent tennis player.

highs. and charlie gasperino what the pashths will be telling us next week. and charlie, what the heck happened? >> neil, you know, we've been reporting this on your fbn show a lot of there was a ton of froth in apple, tesla, others. and there were big bets placed and i reported on your show and did it, how there was a big player in the market buying calls, long-dated calls to show bullishness and names like apple and tesla and a follow-on effect from retail, meaning the robin hood crowd, the day traders and that pushed the markets up to tremendous highs. the big player got out as they usually do before the crash game and it was the robin hood guys that were holding the bag and began to sell and cascaded down to almost correction levels on the nasdaq.

i knew the big players' name and when i first reported i never mention it had, i couldn't firm. i don't know if you confirm that somebody is trading and doing this stuff without seeing the paper work on the trading desk, but it's been reported it was softbank in there. so, you know, some of this is, i guess you could say, is a technical correction. so we'll see what happens next week. here is the thing. i think the markets recover somewhat next week. there may be more selling depending how many of these rob robinhood guys got crushed, but some is technical on this, it becomes an issue, do the markets long-term through the election or as the election gets closer, trade on fundamentals which, as you know, based on that employment report, are getting better? the virus appears to be waning. there's some talk about vaccine and there's tons of fiscal and monetary splus stimulus.

and the fed stepping in at anytime and keeping at zero rates for some time. you've got to think that the markets are strong or stronger, that this is more of a technical correction than anything else. obviously, if there's a hedge fund caught on the wrong side of this trade and has to unload this stuff, this could go on for long time. you know, this isn't-- i think this is technical, but we'll see what happens next week. it will be a fascinating week. again you're right, starts on tuesday not monday. and a fascinating report, by the way, jennifer griffin is a one hell of a reporter. neil: she gets tweets and so you. >> (laughter) >> always great talking to you my friend. have a can you feel labor day weekend. to charlie's point on technology, they did come back by day's end. apple which had collapsed about 10 points, with even money on

the day. and amazon came back, still down a lot and some of you might ask if this is an overreaction. we won't know until next tuesday, until then, fox news continues. have a great weekend!
