teams spent the sunday morning shows talking about the atlantic report which they deny. the president is talk about shifting the focus to the economy and potential covid-19 vaccine, david spunt live from the white house. hi, david. david: leland, good afternoon, the president wants to talk about the economy, unemployment level down below 10% at this point, 1.4 million jobs added in august, but it seems at this point he cannot escape that atlantic story responding to it several times on friday, also in some tweets. now we are talking specifically, leland about 2018, this november would back 2 years, the atlantic is out with an article that claims the president called americans who died in the line of duty losers and, quote, suckers, the president was in france visiting serense cemetery by dud not make trip to cemetery, the multiple unnamed sources, leland, who claim the president used the two words. the white house says he skipped

the term any because of the bad weather citing e-mail evidence. this morning treasury secretary steven mnuchin defended his boss. >> i think the president has enormous respect for the military and for the generals and i've been at the tank at the pentagon with him. i've been at 9/11 at the pentagon with him. this president respects an supports the u.s. military. david: democrats including house speaker nancy pelosi outraged by the allegations but not totally surprised, listen. >> i don't care what he says about me but i do care that he says it in front of our -- our deceased men and mostly in uniform who made the ultimate sacrifice for our country. so, again, whatever he says about this article and that article, we know that he dishonored them and it's on the record. >> the. david: the president has two campaign events reportable. he's going to north carolina,

also northern michigan and then on friday he will honor those who died on flight 93 on september 11th in pennsylvania, leland, also in pennsylvania on friday former vice president joe biden, the next time the two men will presumably see each other if they see each other on friday would be about 2 and a half weeks after the first presidential debate hosted by our own chris wallace. leland: member of trump campaign team in a calm of minutes to talk about what we will hear from the president on the trail, david, thank you. david: thank you. alicia: meanwhile joe biden is heading to the campaign trail with a visit to a key battleground state. he'll be on the ground in pennsylvania tomorrow addressing the nation's largest federation of unions, jacqui heinrich tracking from wilmington, delaware. reporter: exist polling in 2016 president trump two two fifths of union households contributing to narrow win in pennsylvania and tomorrow joe biden will

likely touch on what we expect he usually touches on in these events speaking to union leaders, his mantra always the unions built the middle class and the importance of protecting collective bargaining, getting good pay and protections for workers. the campaign points will be colored on how coronavirus has impacted the economy and jobs. campaign senior adviser symone sanders on fox news sunday. >> folks have to ask themselves at home, is this recovery working for you, economists are starting to call this recovery a k-shape recovery. mean it's going well and up for folks tat top but the folks are middle class or below, it's going down. reporter: sanders was also asked -- sanders was asked whether biden would trust a coronavirus vaccine if one arrives before the election after running mate senator kamala harris said on cnn she wouldn't trust the president's word alone following reports his administration is pushing a rollout for political

points. >> i will say that i would not trust donald trump and it would have to be a credible source of information that takes about the -- the efficacy and reliability of what he's talking about it. he wants us to inject bleach, no, i will not take his word. reporter: biden said he does expect president trump will announce a preelection vaccine and emphasized the need to get good science behind it but he said if we can get one before the election, he would be all for it even if it doesn't help him politically. alicia. alicia: jacqui heinrich in delaware, thank you. leland: trump community u occasion's director tim, appreciate you taking the time. president trump won the 2016 race because of white-working class voters, noncollege educated whites. the k-shape recovery that

appears to be happening that is leading a -- leaving a lower-income bracket behind is it good for you guys? >> this is an incredible rapid and strong recovery. remember that economists had forecast double-digit unemployment into next year. leland: tim, there's no question that the job creation over over the past couple of months is historic, but if you're still out of a job, you're still out of a job no matter how many jobs are created. >> it's going to be clear between president trump who has built the world's best economy once and doing it a second time, it's quite obvious that it's happening for a second time and joe biden who would raise taxes by $4 trillion in the middle of this recovery and still the recovery and on top of that regulations of green new deal on

every person, every business. it would be a clear choice. let's not forget that joe biden oversaw the most sluggish economic recovery since the great depression. the job's numbers have august 1.4 million, that is 2 and a half times the best month in the entire 8 years that joe biden was vice president. that's going to be the choice that voters are facing in this -- leland: that's the argument the president is making on the stump. he's going make it in michigan on thursday and north carolina on tuesday. obviously both swing states. we take a look at the real clear politics average for north carolina, biden plus point 6, so that's clearly ass toss-up. joe biden telling facebook fans that they are losing in michigan, trump 47, biden 45. what are -- do internal show and what is real clear politics not picking up and who are the

mysterious trump voters who are going to show up and don't show up in the polling? >> you know we always discount public polling because they oversample democrats and under sample republicans and our polls for a long time show in the 17 battleground state that is we continue to survey the president is very strong or ahead of joe biden. leland: i want to just drill into this real quickly, you say they oversample democrats undersample republicans. pretty simple question we can argue back and forth on model. is there a specific demographic that you are seeing of higher turnout model in that the public polling isn't picking up? >> well, i will tell you sometimes the public polls do pick this up. president trump has made enormous inroads among black and latino voters. remember in 2016 that the exit polls shows that the president got 8% of the black poll. some of the public polls show the president getting in mid-20's in public polling among black voters and that's

why you see -- you don't have to believe the polls, just watch what joe biden is doing. he's spending millions of dollars on tv ads aimed at black voters, that's something that democrats in a general election running for president never have to do but joe biden is having to do it. it's also an economic record again, lowest unemployment history among black -- >> leland: you can also imagine they learned the lesson of 2016 where blacks especially many michigan and pennsylvania didn't turn out for hillary clinton. one of the issues the president is also running on is defunding the police and an issue if you talk to african-american voters in inner cities a lot of them will tell you they don't want the police defunded because the police is the only thing keeping them safe in the cities. this is kamala harris this morning talking about the issue. >> if somebody would asked if they want more police officers on your streets? >> what i would say now is what i would say then which is i want to make sure that if a woman is

raped, a child is molested or one human being murders another human being that there's a police officer that responds to that case. leland: go ahead. >> earlier in an interview in a bite that you played before the segment, she said reimagining the police. that's the same thing that the left activists have said, reimagining. readjusting, redirecting, defunding the police, it's all the same argument. they are so in the grip of the radical left of their party, the antipolice wing of their party that they can't come out and forcefully support the police. that's another great contrast in this campaign. president trump is squarely backing the police and the police are backing him by the way, the fop just enforced the president the other day, that's 900,000 law enforcement officers. that's why you see the police turning their back on joe biden. joe biden decides -- sides with the rioters. leland: tim i'm on the clock which means equal time for the other side that alicia has in a

minute. as always we appreciate it. alicia: reaction from the other side let's bring in california congressman and member of house armed services committee john gera m.e.n. di. official biden campaign surrogate who is being joined by some pets it sounds like. happy labor day to you. [laughter] alicia: thank you so much for being here. i want to continue with the conversation that leland was having with tim because they were talking about the economy quite a bit and as you know the closer we get to election the better the economy is becoming and you heard that, the trump campaign is saying that your candidate is going to raise taxes and is really going to wreck the recovery that we are starting to experience, your response. congressman: untrue. we know statistics don't lie and liers use statistics. it's not based upon the bottom and if you come up from the bottom you're going to have a big percentage increase. the fact of the matter is

there's still some more than 20 million americans unemployed as a result of the coronavirus pandemic and we also know as a fact that this pandemic is not under control, we will not get this economy back on track until the pandemic is under control. the things that we need to do, the president has simply not allowed the federal government to do, testing, tracing, yes, we are moving towards vaccine, would we trust it, hopefully, we don't have to listen to the president about that, we will listen to the experts about that, but, yes, we do need to get the economy back on and biden wants to build the economy back better and that involves, yes, it involves how are we going to pay for all of that, there are numerous ways to be done. i want to place one thing on the table and that's for the president called for a tax cut. it's called a payroll tax cut,

permanent payroll tax cut. if he's elected he will eliminate, terminate the payroll tax. let's be clear about that, that terminates social security, that terminates medicare, is that sensible? no, it's nonsense. alicia: okay, let's move on to the campaign now because as we are 57 days out from election day and right now former vice president biden is leading nationally in the polls in almost every poll, however, as hillary clinton learned the very hard way in 2016, it comes down to states, it really doesn't matter what the national polls say, it really has to do with handful of states. with that in mind, let's take a look at this. first we will take a look at poll and then let's take a look at pennsylvania here, this i'm wondering how much concern you have over this because in pennsylvania right now, well, late august there was a larger -- there's a much slimmer spread

than there was in mid-july and mid-july it was by 7 points. now it's only by 4. how much does that concern you as we are getting closer to election day? >> well, we do know that these swing states are where the fight is going to be and we do know that the population, the voters in those states are just plain tired of trump. they are tired of all of the hassle, all of the discord and all of the lies -- >> alicia: but the race is tightening. it's tightening, if they are so unhappy why is it tightening and looking better for trump as time goes by? congressman: those polls were taken shortly after the republican national convention. we would there to be a tightening at that point. we also know that the democrats are going to content seriously, seriously contention. biden is going to be in pennsylvania, biden is going to be in the other battleground states in the days ahead. we will fight for every single

vote and we will turn them out. we have a turnout program and we have a president that people can believe, that people can trust that he will do what he says and he will do it without lying every other sentence and so people are looking for the restoration of the soul of america. these issues are fundamental and the economy, we would expect there to be a bounce-back. you couldn't have gone much lower in april and may and so a bounce-back but there will not be a full recovery until the end of the pandemic or at least under control and it's absolutely clear that the president has totally failed to do that. alicia: and, sir, we will congress to watch all of this, congressman geramendi. congressman: my pleasure. alicia: bret baier sitting in for chris wallace and has interview with steven mnuchin

and symone, that's coming up right after our show, leland. leland: the general in charge of fort hood is out after series of deaths in his base. the new information that ties claims of sexual harassment to those dead soldiers when we come back.

leland: federal judge issued restaining bureau to census bureau, must wind down and under that plan the agency would have finished counting the census this month. several groups filing a lawsuit asking to finish count in october instead. court hear thong september -- hearing on this september 17th. >> it's at the center of murders and controversy and the army now ramping up investigations at fort hood, but for some the response is too late. >> he was a wonderful guy and he was only 23. the body of fort hood fernández and his family in mourning and accusing the army failing to keep him safe. >> he's somebody selfless and

joined the army to help and protect us and we failed him. the u.s. army failed him. >> preliminary autopsy ruling it a suicide. the army found the claims to be unsubstantiated. one of the most notable specialist vanessa guillén, murdered by fellow soldier who later took his own life. guillén told her family was sexually harassed, her death sparked a nationwide movement to expose sexual abuse and harassment in the military. secretary of the army ryan mccarthy to get to the root of the issue. on tuesday the army announced

the removal of the post top commander major general and in his place richardson who hopes to improve the culture. >> once you develop a level of cohesion, you will intervene to protect them and that's where we want to get in the future. >> the guillén family is pushing for introduction of #i am vanessa guillén bill and to file sexual harassment and claims to third-party agency instead of line of command. joining us to discuss natalie. thank you for being on this sunday. >> thank you. alicia: i want to begin the army's announcement that they are expanding investigations into some of these claims and some of the incidents and what is your response to extended investigations? >> we do appreciate that finally

the army and the base is taking our pleas seriously and thank the president when he met with us in the oval office and concern for fort hood and well-being and seems like it put measure pressure on the army to understand the repercussions of our soldiers being unsafe at a military base. we still are demanding a congressional investigation. we find it necessary because as i say, i don't like anyone inspecting themselves, the army should not be reviewing itself, it should be a third party like we have an fbi reviewing a criminal, we need something outside the army investigating itself. alicia: do you think that this is something that is a systematic problem, is it a military problem, army problem or do you find it to be specific to fort hood? >> you know, fort hood has its issues, a lot of them to say the least but unfortunately sexual harassment, sexual assault, that is really the -- the belly of

the military unfortunately. i hate to say that because i love our military and i love our troops but the culture is in there, it's septic as i told the president and we need reform, we need military reform, we need legislation to protect our soldiers, they don't sign up to serve our country to be sexually harassed or assaulted. they sign up to take a bullet for our country and not sexual assaulted by other soldiers in the military. alicia: before we run out of time, do i want to make sure that we put up some of the bullet points of this bill that we are discussing, the #i am vanessa guillén. there will be victim and family compensation. can you explain to folks who may not understand why it's so important especially those who believe in following the chain of command, a third-party to

receive complaints is so important. >> we need neutrality. a third party would be a neutral party. there will be no conflict and unbias. they wouldn't have any skin in the game. they are not going to try to give somebody a case that doesn't exist or deny a case that exists. we need a third party and the reason why we need this is because of accountability. you know, everybody should be accountable for for themselves, everybody should be accountable for anything that they've done to other people and that should be the same in the military, accountability. that way we stop the perpetrators and harassers from continuing to destroy our military. alicia: the military is acknowledging that there is a problem here and i want to play something for you and get your response on the other side. u.s. forces command general michael garrett on the situation. take a listen. >> thank you. >> we have pretty good process in the army but our challenge is right now although we think reporting today is better today than it was yesterday, better this year than it was last year,

there are still soldiers out there who don't trust their chain of command, so we are working very, very hard at building that trust. alicia: your thoughts on that, is there improve every day, every year? >> you know, i don't agree with him respectfully i don't agree with him. you know, we have over 23 soldiers went missing or dead just in fort hood alone. you go to the #i am vanessa guillén and you see thousands and thousands of soldiers stories when they reported how they were retaliated against. i will give you a clear example, aldo fernández, he reported and they started harassing him, bullying him and he was married, he was embarrassed, he didn't want to tell his mom that they did that to him and they couldn't tell his family. it goes to show, it doesn't matter if you're a male or female, people don't like to share the horrible experience with somebody within their command.

there's no such thing it's better than last year. a change is better, a change is what we need, it's not going to be oh, well, 99 people this year versus a 100 last year. i shouldn't be happening. and number 2, it's not any better, you know, if it was any better, we wouldn't have this problem currently as we do. so they could deny the people that are reported it like vanessa guillén because they were afraid to report it but that doesn't mean it's resolved. it means that we have challenges because of the soldiers sitting there in hiding afraid to report it and the perpetrators are still out there harassing. alicia: i'm sorry we are up against a hard break. i have to go but thank you so much for your time. >> thank you so much. leland: great interview. tourism season and what small businesses are doing to stay alive in coronavirus era and more costs and lower demand

we'd get 25% unemployment, fortunately it never came close to that. we are down to 8.4, but the president and i believe we should do more stimulus. the speaker has refused to sit down and negotiate unless we agree to something like a 2 and a half trillion dollar deal in advance. lucas: spokesperson for the biden campaign is not optimistic. >> you know, if you work 30 -- more than 24 million people have noted that they are teleworking and so if you work a job that has you working on a laptop and you can work at a desk, you're less at risk for covid. lucas: democrats proposed covid relief package that cost over $3 trillion, despite the great job's report friday 7.5 million americans still need to get back to work. >> there's virtually no economist outside of the white house and some people in the united states senate who don't think we need a significant new relief package. >> they have this trip to

and grill, thank you for being here. we only have a certain amount of time and i want to find out how everybody is doing. let's start with you, sean, i want to know how things are going, how do you look back on this summer and trying to close and then reopen again? >> the summer has been pretty tough on everyone. we have a tremendous staff and we also have a marina that rents boats here. it's all part of the same organization, that part of it has been way above average because that's the only thing you could do here, social distance throughout the day. the restaurant has been a bit of a struggle. we are allowed to expand into our parking lot to get, you know, 50 or 60% of our seating and we got some ppp money and our goal was basically to survive in advance till next year and we at least hit that

goal. alicia: david, what about you, you run fly-fishing tours and things have changed quite a bit for you over the summer, haven't they? >> there's no question. may first, premay first, we were looking at a huge amount of debt that we are trying to figure out how to pay down, we layed off our entire staff. we were just basically fairly closed up and not really able to do much, but then the lights turned on in may for us and it has been explosive growth. fly-fishing is social distancing and they can't do anything that's group gathering, right, and so fly-fishing the opt sit of that and so we've had tremendous growth this summer. everyone is coming to us and looking to go fly-fishing and it's been incredible. alicia: folks who wouldn't have beforehand, correct? >> no question.

yeah, when you look at families, they have picnics to go to, they get the busy summer schedule, family reunions, all that stuff. they can't do any of that. they all came in and said i want to take kids fly-fishing and that's not usually our customer. alicia: sean, i think we talked to you in the summer, you had idea to get folks outside and have a drink, you had inner tubes that folks put around them and able to bump around and keep the social distance, we have pictures there. i personally thought it was brilliant but how did it go? >> it was -- it's a little risky to put people with alcohol inside like that, the governor -- [laughter] alicia: fair. >> the governor mandated that we have to have people seated to be served. we've retired them to our warehouse, they are still around

and they may come out. they turn out to be better publicity than -- than a million people, and it got us on the map and i think we've been busy because of them and they lasted a couple of weeks but we just didn't have the space to use them anymore. so they we kind of shelfed -- >> alicia: i just have a little bit of time left, i would like to hear from both of you, sean, how do you think things will go from here? >> well, i hope next year we will be back to normal and people will be able to -- our problem here is people would like to be able to walk up and down the dock and talk to people and look in their boats and see what they call it and have a drink in their hand whether it's alcoholic or nonalcoholic and they like to go to the bar and get that and now we have to actually see the people and have them served, so we are looking forward to being able to freely

mingle and, i mean, we are a social place. i don't want to say -- i don't want to say fly-fishing is antisocial, it's more social and we would like to get that. alicia: david, how do you think things are headed? >> we have introduced so many new people into our sport that we are really excited that we are going to be able to capture these people and hopefully get them really hooked on it and return next year and so we are actually quite excited and pretty optimistic about the future particularly once we get past the pandemic thing. alicia: right. >> next spring i think we will be off and running and we are excited. ppp loans have really kind of helped us bridge the gap. >> al: well, small businesses are the backbone of the country, thank you so much. >> thank you. leland: a lot of people ready
