about the way that he acts and behaves and talks so i would fully expect, i would say it this way, i would fully respect more reporting to come out about this. and more confirmation. in new pieces of information in the coming days and weeks. >> jeffrey with the atlantic was quick to point out the sources are not anonymous, they're just anonymous to the public. meanwhile president trump as i mentioned on the campaign trail will be heading to north carolina and michigan this week on friday and he will honor those victims from flight 93 and chang still pennsylvania and also former vice president joe biden, they will both be there that day, the next time as far as we know they will see to the two and half weeks later, september 29 for chris wallace will moderate. eric: david will have more on that on a newscast. there are calls from the sun down the anonymous sources go

pro-police rally. a clash there in likely to be clashes again, this is the 100th or more than 100 protest date in portland and they continue protest here and around the country. eric: thank you so much. arthel: firefighters and northern california successfully airlifted more than 200 people trapped after a wildfire surrounded the lake and campsite. this is ahead of labor day, california faces an intense heat wave that is already breaking records. christina coleman is live in los angeles with more. >> the brutal heat wreaking havoc on california in the santa monica mountains and malibu are now closed through labor day weekend after an apparent heat related death yesterday. meantime firefighters are working 22 major wildfires burning in the state right now,

>> the selection is about safety and it is about jobs. eric: that is president trump in pennsylvania laying out the heart of his presidential campaign. we will take that message back to the kees wing state of pennsylvania and also michigan this coming week into democratic nominee joe biden and both

candidates visiting two of the major states and it could help decide the election when they both have an election on the economy and each other. >> we just have a president who does not see it. he does not feel it, he does not understand, he just does not care. eric: what can we expect this weekend on the campaign trail. josh is with us. josh, each guy is going to be following each other in pennsylvania, michigan, a couple of other deviations. but the jobs and the economy seems to be central with the industrial belt for both. >> welcome to the real campaign because joe biden was spending most of the summer in his basement and now he is back on the campaign trail and the focus is on the midwestern states that democrats lost in very close races in 2016. there is no coincidence that joe biden in michigan, pennsylvania,

the president in those states as well. this is going to be the battlegrounds. the national polls still show joe biden leading a fairly healthy lead when you look at the swing state polls with all the midwestern states especially pennsylvania, wisconsin and even minnesota, they are a lot closer and will be fought to the last day of the campaign. eric: they will both be in pennsylvania and friday is 9/11 and they will be ensuring still pennsylvania and we will see if they meet each other and see each other while they are there. the schedules unclear. have they thrown the baseball bats at each other. here is president trump basically accusing biden of not doing a correct job during eight years he's hammering him with china, nafta, shipping jobs overseas. here is the president. >> joe biden spent the last 47 year shipping pennsylvania jobs to china and for nations and i spent the last four years

bringing them back home and we will bring them back home. [cheering] >> i ended the last administration eight years he run pennsylvania, oil and coal and fracking. eric: i think you will hear a lot about eight years during the campaign. >> i think you will too and you will hear a lot about jobs and the president is eager to have a favorable job report that came out on friday but the thing about all the midwestern states is that even within the states, there is a huge divide within states like pennsylvania, michigan, minnesota, the suburbs and the cities are getting more favorable to joe biden but donald trump, the president thinks he can actually do really well in the small town in rural community that is going his way in the 2016 election and that includes pennsylvania in the northeastern parts of pennsylvania in the poll showing him doing very well in the small

town parts of that state. eric: he is from pennsylvania and abide in memo according to the new york, they need to hold gains among non-college-educated white voters. as for biden he says the economy and the president talked about the economy let's us into the former vice president. >> donald trump may be the only president in modern history to leave office with your jobs and when he took office. and talk to a lot of real working people, ask them. they feel like they're being left behind, ask them how do they feel about the economy coming back. you will find that they do not feel it. eric: which view do you think will resonate more, the president or biden. >> if you look at all the polls, the one issue where president trump holds an advantage over joe biden is the economy to which candidate is seen better equipped to handle the economy.

in the president likes to talk about the stock market, the latest job numbers which are encouraging even though there at a low low point historically in the last five or six years. but i would caution politically speaking that there is a huge economic divide and there are people see the wealth grow as the stock market gets better and wealth increases but there is another part of the country where they have not seen the prosperity in the recovery and joe biden is speaking to those voters in trying to pick off the blue-collar voters in the midwestern states that man voted for trump like a lot of his policies but are worried and very anxious about the economic future and they may like trump but they may be worried about where things are in the country come november. eric: they are not only attacking each other but they don't agree on what type of recovery we are having. one says it's a k and the other said mvp take a listen on the campaign trail.

>> leadership we did not have and we still don't have, as a result economist are starting to call this recession a k shaped recession. it's happening very fast and it's happening in a supervening, not a v a supervening super be. eric: what is it, a k, a v, you what is it. >> pick a letter. there is a political risk of being too rosy and sounding too optimistic when there are people hurting. even though i think people trust the president's judgment on a lot of the economic issues they also wonder about their own situation and we had a. of amazing growth in the first three years of trump's presidency but even though things have gotten better in the last couple months we are digging out of the big hole and i remember president obama ran for reelection and he had a

tough time convincing a lot of voters that even though the economy was getting better the 8% unemployment and slow recovery was still enough to reelect him. he won that election, maybe that's the motto for president trump. but i think there is still a lot of voters out there that may see improvement in her still very anxious about their own economic features. i think it's a little bit risky for the president to say everything is great when there is still a long way to go. eric: it is improving, however, there are still parts that are not in real clear politics as mr. biden up by four and pennsylvania just over two and half over michigan. there is a way to go. josh, good to see you. thank you. >> thank you'. arthel: jacob like the black man paralyzed after police shot him seven times in the back, speaks for the first time since the incident from his hospital bed as multiple investigations continue. i will speak to his attorney coming up next.

in the d.o.j. also investigated pre-what legal resolution are you hoping for for those investigations until u and tells what's happening with the case this week. >> thank you for having me. the family is asking what anybody would ask for. they want accountability, they want justice. you see from the video that jacob blake junior holds no threat to the officers as is moving away from them into get the boys out of a volatile situation when the police grabbed his t-shirt and shoots him seven times point blank range in the back. paralyzing him with his 8-year-old, 5-year-old and his 3-year-old sons all watching this happen to their father. and so from that moment to this

one, his family has been praying for his health and recovery that he would just survive such a senseless, brutal use of force. and then hoping there will be accountability because there seems to be epidemic where black people who have had not put anybody in harm's way so they continue to be killed which is directly opposite from the young white man who killed two people and nobody shot him in the back and nobody killed him. arthel: you're talking about kyle in a separate situation in portland. let's talk about this. listen i had you on here because i wanted to have you tell me and walk me through what's happening to the legal aspect of the case, i do not have the police side but they would have a different side on record. i want to go back to blake but i want to go to breonna taylor

because you're also working with her family as well, she was killed almost six month ago, one officer has been fired and the other two officers involved had been placed on administrative reassignment. are you expecting any forward movement on this case this week, i'm trying to find out what is happening, everything seems to be stuck. >> breanna taylors case is one of the most heartbreaking cases you can ever imagine, your child in their apartment sleeping in their bed at 1:00 a.m. in the police unannounced bust open the front door and they don't know what's going on, they think it's a burglar and she is killed and her body is mutilated by a bullet by the people were supposed to protect and serve them. and they have taken over the

investigation in six months have passed now and they're waiting on the ballistics report from the fbi and we expect that they should be bringing charges any day now but it continues to be a delay in justice delayed is justice denied because they never intended on holding these officers accountable until we started saying rihanna taylor life matter, black women's life matter. the police report that they released three months ago was three pages and is said there was no injuries and no force of injury. we know both of those are mistruths because they busted open her door and she was killed. how can you say no injuries. arthel: the police said they were on a no knock warrant which means they get to knock on the door and say police in game on. their dispute as to what happened that night, i have you

here so i want to talk about what you and i talk about. apparently reportedly that my police were looking for jamarcus, and ex-boyfriend, can convicted felon with a history of drug trafficking. according to the court documents that have been reported, he has been offered a plea deal, sentence ordered, the ten years that he could face in prison if he names breonna taylor as a codefendant in his game, he said no i'm not quite to do that because that is not true. meanwhile you mentioned before kentucky attorney general daniel cameron who tweeted this regarding this case, he said yes, today while we honor a kentucky tradition with the

running of the derby we remain cognizant of the community's desire for answers in the investigation into the death of ms. breonna taylor, we move forward with our investigation redoing to reach the truth. do you have confidence that the kentucky ag will prosecute this case fairly? >> breanna taylors family is very suspicious of any law enforcement authority right now because from day one. her mother and little sister called the police department every day for almost two months before we got involved saying can you tell us answers why you killed my child in her own apartment and they kept being pushed aside over and over again. until there are charges, the family has no fate whatsoever that anything is going to be done and that is why we continue to say her name. arthel: i know you continue working on the case to not only say her name breonna taylor but you want to get justice for her. i want to flip over to the jac b

blake junior's case. we played earlier from his hospital bed and something else jacob blake junior said from his hospital bed that day he said please i am telling you change your lives. stick together, make some money, make everything easier for our people out there, man, there is so much time that has been wasted. who do you think jacob is talking to? >> he obviously was emotional statement and jacob is a good young man. there is everything out there by jacob blake junior, he has never ever been convicted of a crime in his life. arthel: he has not been convicted but i do have to say according to reports he was wanted on sexual assault and domestic abuse charges stemming from an incident in july which does not justify what happened two weeks ago. >> he has never been convicted

of a crime in his life, we are confident that he will be found not guilty of these latest allegations if they are even brought to the courtroom once everything comes out. but what we do know is what happened on that video was unjustified and there seems to always be on occasion when black people are shot or killed by police to try to assassinate their character to justify the unjustifiable actions by law enforcement and we have to say we cannot continue to demonize people of color after we killed them. we have to say we have justice of america and we have to treat black citizens like we treat white citizens. there cannot be two justice systems in america, there has to

be equal justice for all citizens in america. arthel: i understand what you are saying and i certainly was not trained to marry the two because there to separate whatever the allegations are. they are definitely separate i understand what you are saying but i have to put that on record because you said he's never done anything in his life and perhaps he is innocent what i've here you it does not justify what is happened two weeks ago. i complete the understand that. i would love to have you back, i want to know what's happening with this case both jacob blake breonna taylor. come back and please keep us posted been crump. thank you. >> absolutely thank you so much for having me. arthel: thank you. eric: people near and far are open up their hearts and wallets to help a southern city battle by hurricane laura. and we will be in louisiana straight ahead. ♪ nly pay for what you need?

living in their vehicle. their house was destroyed, their camper, they had a small older camper, it was destroyed so they were riding out in their vehicle. we have pretty extreme temperatures and when mike heard my story that you aired and covered our story on facebook, he came to their aid. arthel: and he brought a camper. that is wonderful and were glad to hear that. we also understand that you received a call from the white house, what can you tell us about that? >> they said they would get back with me. i have not heard from them yet but i'm looking forward to it. arthel: good, good. is fema on the ground set up in lake charles and to help in rebuilding efforts, do you see fema and lake charles? >> they have stations that people have started applying but mostly i have seen the greatest

eric: less than two months out

from election day and some say there are questions about how the postal service will be able to hand her a crusher mail that will handle all of record shattering number of mailing ballots. officials repost supposedly word that they may not have their votes counted because of supply chain issues. the president of the american postal workers union which endorsed joe biden for president. good to see you figure for coming back. what is your prediction since we sell you a couple weeks ago. the have things got better and will people be able to handle tens and tens and tens of millions of ballots. >> we are confident that they are capable of the election mail ballots and we've been doing it for generations. the last election 2161 out of four voters voted by mail. there are going to be more ballots because of the pandemic and we are ready to serve and we

look as part of our civic duty to the people of the country but the postal service does not run elections, the states and counties do in the postal service should be able to do her job and the states will have to do their job. that means getting ballots in the mail early and so the postal service can process that and get them back. eric: and have voters if they want their vote to count to do it in time. it's amazing that 8 billion pieces of mail go to the system a month. were talking maybe most 130 million which is really a fraction of the amount of catalogs and mail and junk mail and stuff that you guys process everything will they. >> that is right, we processed almost 500 million pieces of mail and packages a day, routinely we do national mailings, everyone got a cdc health guideline in the mail and election ballots are not mailed

from one place or at the same time so the capacity of the postal worker, this is actually routine and i think people should have great confidence, it's a tried and tested system and virtually free of fraud and we have the capacity to vote by mail. my advice as a voter and other voters, no matter who we are voting for as soon as the ballots are in and vote. eric: there have been some issues reporting by the post office election mail delivering on time is down 1.7%. let me use something that concerns me as a voter. we need a postmark in ballot, without a postmark on return ballots about what could be rejected and the vote not counted pre-the postal service reissued guidance and held a webinar to reiterate to employees the whole ballots voters and they must have a postmark. what happens if it doesn't have

a postmark, they go to the machine so fast they may not be marked and if they get to the board of elections and they don't have a thinker your vote out. >> there are many states that the ballot has to be an by election day so the postmark is not critical there. it is critical for those states who have a postmark. that comes down to good training and repetitive training. the four postal unions just join the task force and a national management task force around mail. that is one way that we will help ensure training takes place in the ballots are recognized, ballots normally are pretty differently, they are recognizable, they can be pulled out of the system to make sure that there postmark. that really comes down to a training and it comes down to the dedication of the postal workers to make sure that happens. postal workers will move heaven and earth to make sure that it does. eric: you see them out and they

do. finally, you read the inspector general's report and learned also that you did not know, there's a rule you got a clea cr out in all election a political mail and the postal distribution center surrogates out every day. they make sure none is on the floor. all of those things. >> that is right, it's supposed to be given priority treatment and the new postmaster general under oath to congress just last week reiterated that all ballots will be treated as first class mail and all ballots will be given the priority treatment that is critical. eric: get the ballots out and get voting. thank you for joining us. arthel: back at 4:00 p.m. eastern with more news. right now more news after the break. ♪
