tv   Outnumbered  FOX News  September 7, 2020 9:00am-10:00am PDT

9:00 am
>> blake: a live look in milwaukee, wisconsin, and there she comes off the plane. kamala harris, her very first solo campaign appearance. i'm blake burman. julie, it was great for don't like to work with you on this labor day. >> julie: great work if you, as well, a little bit distant. "outnumbered" starts now. >> kennedy: this is a fox news alert, president trump said to have it hold a labor day news conference in less than an hour on the economy. this just days after the on employment rate dropped to single digits for the first time since the pandemic began. it also comes after a vital weekend for many parts of the country putting portland, oregon, which marked its 100 straight night of protests over the weekend. yay. rioters threw molotov cocktails and one lit another protester on fire. court documents reveal a man
9:01 am
suspected of killing a right-wing activist in portland late last month appeared to target him before the shooting. meanwhile, in upstate new york, police used tear gas to disperse protesters, calling for justice over the march death of daniel prude. things also tense at of the kentucky derby in louisville, as black lives matter protests got into it shouting match with law enforcement. the president says the left is to blame while many democrats that he is making matters worse. watch. >> president donald john trump is the commander in chief, so the buck stops with him. while america was going to civil unrest in all 50 states, quite frankly, america was on fire. we had a president, a commander in chief, walking around with a gasoline can. not trying to sow peace and calm, but throwing fire onto an already volatile situation.
9:02 am
see you and happy labor day weekend. or, happy labor day. this is "outnumbered." i'm kennedy. here today on the virtual account we've got fox news correspondent molly line, pollster kristen soltis anderson, syndicated radio host leslie marshall, an executive vice president of the kings college in manhattan, brian brenberg. welcome, everyone. >> leslie: good morning. >> kennedy: happy labor day. brian, i will start with you. you're talking about people parts of the country. one of the greatest cities in the united states of america, portland, which has been marred by this violent and -- i wonder what they want. how do you come back from this as a city, with what we are seeing? >> brian: how do you come back from it as a city is an amazing question and one that portland obviously hasn't answered. everybody knows the first step is you have to get the violence under control, and that is the big problem.
9:03 am
there seems to be absolutely no plan to do it. from the mayor, from every city official, this is just chaos. the problem is it is spreading across the country now. it is happening in other cities, and more and more people are looking at it and saying portland isn't just portland, kenosha isn't just kenosha. these cities could be my backyard. this could be where i live, where my kids live. i don't want to risk this. all of a sudden, these ideological divides in the country start to melt away when you talk about practical issues like, will my city be on fire? will people be throwing molotov cocktails in my backyard? if the answer might be yes, all bets are off and this election changes in some big ways very quickly. >> kennedy: yes. i've been saying this, and others have said that all of this is a great campaign video for the president. i realize that vice president biden has tried to make a shift, but let's pull up on a president trump's tweets. he was tweeting about violence
9:04 am
this weekend. he rode, "rochester, new york, brooklyn, new york, portland, all had bad nights. all weakly run by radical democratic governors and mayors. get the picture?" leslie, what do you have to say about that in terms of republicans framing this as a democrat problem, and democrat-run cities and states like portland, where progressive mayors are despised for not being progressive enough? >> leslie: if you are advising campaigns, you have to look at numbers. black lives matter, it has dropped. we see more people saying protests could lead to violence, and that's a concern. but the numbers that i really want to see right now, you still have a neck and neck race. democrats could be worried this goes somewhere, but right now it isn't. number one, two, and throughout
9:05 am
voters' mines or unemployment, health care, and the economy, even though racial injustice, the rioting, looting, the protestants are concerned. it's not top of my for for voters yet. if you look at quinnipiac, they trust joe biden to handle a crisis much more than donald trump. they want to come together and have lost at order. the needle hasn't really helped the president or the former vice president right now. all these protests, the rioting, looting, it is not moving the middle much among voters in these polls right now. >> kennedy: i am someone who lives in portland or kenosha or rochester, i don't care who benefits from this politically. i want to make sure my city is safe. kristen, how big of an issue will this be for some of those voters who maybe don't like the president but see this happening
9:06 am
and internalize this? maybe it is not something they talk about when pollsters call them. how do you factor an emotional reaction to riots and violence into polling data? >> kristen: emotion, i feel, always trumps reason. when people make decisions on who they want to vote for, their emotions are really driving things. if you are afraid for your community, afraid for your life, that's going to drive things. you see a lot of, for instance, african-americans who are afraid with interactions with the police. they are speaking out and it drove a lot of support for black lives matter over the summer. as you've gotten these protests in places like portland that have become so divorced from any actual calls for racial justice, and instead are people who want to burn stuff, it becomes a totally different ball game. this is now spread outside of big cities. if you live in a suburb, a rural area, previously you could said they are looting the markets in downtown chicago but it's not as
9:07 am
relevant to my life. if the spreads to smaller and smaller cities across the country, i do think that fear that, "hey, tomorrow this could be in my backyard, some tragic police shooting could happen in my community, and next thing you know, everything is burning." that where he sleeps in and shapes how people are viewing this political moment >> kennedy: i think you are absolutely right. people are less concerned with who someone is blaming and they want a plan. as the trump and biden teams kick off a busy week of campaigning in key swing states, senator bernie sanders. there he is, he's the latest on the left to warn that president trump may refuse to leave the white house if he loses reelection. sanders told politico, "what we have got to do in the next two months is alert the american people about what that nightmarish scenario might look like in order to prepare them for the possibility and talk about what we do if that happens." the spokesperson with the republican national committee fired back, saying, "the only
9:08 am
reason bernie sanders is spreading hypothetical conspiracy theories about president trump's because, even an avowed socialist like bernie realizes that joe biden's radical left agenda is going to cost him the election on november 3rd." it is something republicans would like to tie to joe biden, his cozy friendship with bernie sanders, who helped write the dnc platform. how big of an issue is this, molly? >> molly: well, it is one to watch, one that both sides are talking a lot about. nancy pelosi is saying she wanted to win by a wide margin. in a sense, they can use this as a selling point as we head into this election. look with the president is saying out on the campaign trail. i think he kind of enjoy is this a little bit. here's one tweet from president trump. "do you think the people would demand i stay longer?" it's like he can tell, this drives in a little crazy on the other side. both sides are perhaps trying to use this to some advantage.
9:09 am
meanwhile, democrats warning that president trump could do this, might question the legitimacy of the election, looking at mail-in ballots. yet, here we are, we just watched the last couple of years were democrats implied throughout this investigation that it was really russia who helped to win the election. i think it's going to happen is that people are going to go to the polls and we are going to vote and see things counted. it may not come in as swiftly as people like. that tends to be what happens anyway. we didn't know that president trump had won until well after midnight. in the middle of the night -- >> kennedy: oh, i remember. >> molly: we will see what happens, but i suspect both sides will talk a lot about this. >> kennedy: they were no fireworks at the javits center. speaking of hillary, leslie, hillary clinton told joe biden, "whatever you do, don't concede." >> leslie: within context, she did, but she was talking if the race is close.
9:10 am
i get her point, and i think that is actually what the president is using here on our own network, with chris wallace, when he was asked if he was going to do exactly what nancy pelosi, hillary clinton, and now senator bernie sanders have accused him of. he said he would have to see. he's not saying yes or no. he is laying the groundwork for fraudulent ballots with a large mail-in voting population. he has also talked about a rigged election, the only way my side, the democrats, would win is if it's rigged, stolen from them, fraudulent. i agree with molly's point -- >> kennedy: that's exactly the language bernie sander bernie sanders -- bernie sanders is saying the only way the president wins as if it's a rigged election. you got both sides essentially talking about not conceding and rigged elections. brian, what this means is, if we don't have a clear winner on january 20th, what happens? >> brian: this is so laughable, that bernie sanders is talking about the president
9:11 am
not wanting to leave office. you know the day after the election that the biden campaign is going to have lawyers in every single battleground state contesting everything that is happening there. the fact is both campaigns should be focusing on the issues they are running on, getting their message out, and winning the election handily instead of talking about what the other candidate might do. these hypothetical situations, all they do, when you paint that picture, is show you have nothing really to talk about. if you're going to talk about the other guy's hypothetical moves, it means you got nothing. voters can see that, by the way. they're not interested in hypotheticals, they are interested in what you're actually planning to do. if you're not willing to talk about it, they will be willing to listen to you. >> kennedy: that's right, brian brent brick. put up or shut up. nancy pelosi calls it a set up, and that it shows that democrats can't leave the country. how badly could this go in

9:16 am
>> molly: president trump taking a fresh swipe at house speaker nancy pelosi over her visit to a san francisco hair salon that was shut down due too the coronavirus restrictions. he suggests it shows democrats can't lead. "nancy pelosi said she got set up by the owner. a very good one, of it be departed. beauty parlor pete how shall he do against kim jong un of north korea? not so well, i suspect. but far better than joe higdon
9:17 am
would do." pelosi's office said they didn't know she was doing anything wrong at that salon. yet he says the speakers acting like an infamous cartoon villa villain. >> i'm not surprised she has attacked the single mother of two who owned the salon, who is likely to go bankrupt as a result of the fact that we don't have additional paycheck protection money. to me, this is nancy pelosi as cruella dl1 evil at the same time, telling one small business that they should open but only open for her. >> molly: a little villain isolation. that's not uncommon across the aisle. kristen, let's bring you in on this. seems like this is the kind of thing we can laugh about an american politics today. at the same time there is this very serious issue underlying all of this. if it is something democrats to
9:18 am
take seriously, should they be upset with nancy pelosi over this? >> kristen: for small business owners who have been able to open the doors for months, this is no laughing matter. to see rules getting flouted, for one set of people versus another set of people, that doesn't go down well. while i disagree that this suggests somebody can't negotiate with world leaders? i do think it suggests that nancy pelosi does not have the great political judgment that people often attribute to her. she has been the leader of the democrats in the house for a long time. she became speaker of the house twice, so folks will say she's this political genius. between things like this and that goofy interview she gave her earlier in the pandemic with her fridge full of ice cream, yes, these are silly little stories in the scope of this big pandemic, but it also suggests she doesn't understand the optics and the pain a lot of americans are going through. the ability to get a salon open up for them.
9:19 am
>> molly: leslie, bring even on this, do americans really care about this as an issue, what nancy pelosi does with her hair? what did they care about her and women she endorses or not? we had a race here in massachusetts, the senate race, richey endorsed the kennedy and went on to lose. conor lamb, southwest pennsylvania. those are different kinds of democrats down there. he said he wouldn't be voting for her for speaker of the house. does it matter that much? is she a power player as we headed to this next election? is this the type of issue that'll matter to democrats out there? >> leslie: one, she is a power player. two, this is not the type of issue that will really matter to democrats. as a democrat, i think this is the bad decision. clearly she should have been wearing her mask. living here in southern california, there are a lot of salons that are "closed," and if you peek behind the newspapers there are people inside. or people doing here in the backyard and on sidewalks. go down the street and you can see it. you can't say, first of all,
9:20 am
this is a state issue. it's given new sums decision, not hers. those counties don't, under her authority. as house speaker, i always believe -- i don't care what party you are with -- you need to lead by example. where your mass, don't try and make exceptions. the owner will be bankrupt. because she wants out of san francisco. at the end of the day, this won't stop nancy pelosi's ability to negotiate with tough leaders. even donald trump, she's done great negotiating with him in the past. he has even complimented her on that in the past. at the end of the day, this is not going to stop a democrat from voting for her, certainly. i don't think it's going to make somebody who is undecided walk away. it is something -- he is not trying to make it for a code of little dalmatian puppies first. >> molly: back to our disney references there. brian, you have that depth of understanding where numbers are
9:21 am
concerned. it draws attention to although small businesses that would prefer to be open at this point of time. as far as the argument is that she doesn't have control over this, when we look to washington, is there not some impetus they are that we should expect those leaders in washington to lead us in a way that we can get back to business? to find those solutions? >> brian: i don't think this is a laughing matter for most people, actually. it's really serious matter. it's a living embodiment of the double standard people are so tired of. she can walk into a salon to get her hair done when nobody else can, and she can turn around and blame the salon owner for it. i think a lot of americans look at that and say, "that's exactly what i'm tired of in d.c.." bernie sanders railing against inequality worth millions of dollars. this sort of thing is pervasive. we are looking for a way out of it. she is walking right into it,
9:22 am
handing this to republicans. i think it's going to stick all the way to the election, because it's a simple issue. this is not complicated to understand. she had a privilege, she took advantage of it. when it hurt her, she threw someone else under the bus. i think that runs every negotiation she has. every deal she cuts. the other person is going to know, this is how she does business. she's part of the democratic party, joe biden is part of the party, she's leadership, a power player, and that's why this matters. not just for her, but for this election. >> molly: brian, thank you. democratic vp nominee kamala harris meeting with jacob blake's family in wisconsin today as team biden says it's targeting four key groups of voters who helped president trump win in 2016. plus, anita hill has slammed joe biden's handling of her allegations against clarence thomas, why is she changing her tune now? >> who would you like to see

9:28 am
we do see in the polls. not the flight that we saw as seriously just a month month from the campaign by suburban women, suburban female voters. we are seeing that erosion with seniors and in a group that really made the difference in 2016 to have hillary clinton lose and donald trump win. that is the working class, specifically young white working-class voters. hillary clinton pretty much ignored the segment of the population, joe biden cannot afford to ignore that segment. in my opinion he should visit every battleground state. they should focus not on these four but heavily on that working class, specifically the young white working-class motor. with regard to your question, kennedy, health care is a big issue. coronavirus, as you have infants who can be more susceptible, certainly the older population is more susceptible. we've seen that internationally, that older people have a higher fatality rate when infected by covid-19, because they have a
9:29 am
lot more respiratory issues, pneumococcal pneumonia, for example, and some of these people are very frightened by that. not just health care and the cost to their life and their health, physical body, but the cost to them. their pocketbook. that is an area where joe biden has an edge on the president, especially in light of the numbers that we are still seeing with covid in our country. >> kennedy: but the pocket book is where the president scores, some of his strongest ratings. independence, that's a big term. there are a lot of people who may or may not be affiliated with a party that consider themselves to be independents. what's going on with that group? >> brian: they are going to care about a couple of big issues. i think leslie is right, coronavirus is going to matter. but democrats are underestimating, they really don't want, violence and america's cities to continue to be a big issue. if you look at those groups that biden says he is targeting, every one of those groups can be
9:30 am
swayed by the issue of safety and law and order. that issue isn't going away. democrats can try to shift the focus, they can try and say this is trump's america, the violence has his issue, but most people are looking in their towns at their leadership in making decisions based on that. as we've said, is i even as democrats have had to concede, the leadership is democratic. that's why they are trying to shift their message desperately right now. but it seems like it's too little, too late. >> kennedy: as they see this violence pouring in the suburbs, that's going to be a problem. republicans have had a harder time in traditionally red states. texas is one of them, but, kristen, a new dallas morning news poll shows that he was ahead in texas by five points. that has evaporated in just two months. he trails the president by two points, 48-46%. what do you think about
9:31 am
democrats going after places like arizona and georgia and texas? is that a winning strategy? >> kristen: these are all formerly confidently red states, places republicans could pretty reliably expects would be in their corner. it has become increasingly suburban. places like the suburbs around houston and dallas were particularly tough spots for republicans in the 2018 midterms. you see there is this intersection between the democratic focus on suburban voters, the fight over that key group, and many of these red states that have not become purple. texas is one that i remain skeptical democrats will pick it up, but if you are republicans looking within the margin of error, that is pretty scary. if texas goes blue, that the electoral college ball game >> kennedy: that's right. molly, a lot of people in california are moving to places like texas because there is more economic freedom. the more lefty californians move there, the more purple it gets.
9:32 am
>> molly: we are seeing vermont as a hot spot right now. folks want to get away from some of the big cities, not just because of the economic situation but because of coronavirus. they're looking for safe places. we are seeing the suburbs kind of expanding into more rural areas across america, which is pretty interesting. those are some of the areas where republicans see some of the strongest support. those northern parts of new hampshire, that is a big battleground state. i spent the weekend in new hampshire, they had a big boat parade. we've seen those all across the country, for president trump. i think what we learned in the last election is that neither side can take any of these states for granted. we can't look to the wisconsins, michigans, pennsylvanias. nothing is assured. in an election where we are seeing the likely vote by mail happening across the country, we are seeing far fewer ways for these major politicians to get out there and interact with the voters. it's hard to tell how much support you are garnering, where
9:33 am
we can't see president trump go and pack an airport hangar with 10,000 reporters like us on the last election. there's a lot of uncertainty that makes it very challenging for these candidates to figure out where they should be focusing here as we are getting down to the wire with these roughly two months to go before election. kennedy? >> kennedy: and joe biden has a new nickname. "joe hidin'," that the president christened on twitter. take it away, molly. >> molly: joe biden getting some unlikely support from an ally, anita hill, who accused supreme court justice clarence thomas of sexual harassment nearly three decades ago. she said she would vote for biden despite their company in history. >> who would you like to see elected in november? >> i think joe biden is the person who should be elected in november. >> would you be willing to work with him? >> yes. my commitment is to finding solutions. i am more than willing to work
9:34 am
with him. >> kennedy: hill is among those who criticized biden for the way she was treated in the thomas confirmation hearings, which then-senator biden chaired. he has since expressed regret for thaty don't see this as particularly surprising. it's like saying someone is more complicated than being a 1-issue voter. she is quoted as well, saying "i am more willing to work with biden." your thoughts on this? >> brian: i guess this is supposed to help biden or something, but i think bringing up biden in the context of the clarence thomas hearings only reminds people of what an abysmal job he did presiding over that. you think about that hearing, how badly it went, criticized on both sides. every hearing after that, they had that circus feeling that happened for the first time, really, at that thomas hearing. i don't think this really helps him. he did a terrible job in that
9:35 am
hearing. i don't think it's going to pull more of the left toward him, and it might fire up the republicans to say, "we don't want another situation like that. let's do something about it." >> molly: wesley, does this hurt in any way? >> leslie: absolutely not. it doesn't help in any way, either. endorsements really do. this is not a big surprise. i agree with you there, molly. these are the two candidates. she would have to vote for one. one that she would work with. you have to remember that, although it wasn't satisfying for her, necessarily, joe biden did call and apologize to her. the violence against women act has definitely given joe biden some points. maybe it has given him points with anita hill. that endorsement is not going to give him any points in the form of votes in november. kristen, what do you think? is this a flat line or something that the biden campaign and biden supporters would rather
9:36 am
not be talking about at all? >> when i think about the issues, i think of covid-19, the economy, i think of safety and law and order. i think the endorsement of anita hill is pretty far down that list. i only see this as potentially being downside for biden, because it puts back in the news the cavalcade relationship that joe biden has had on the issues of women and sexual harassment. again, he has been accused of getting a little too touchy-feely by some women in the democratic party. it's created a complicated situation for many democratic women who believe very strongly that women should not have to deal with touchy-feely politicians. at the same time, they agree with his politics. i don't see any upside, but i also think this is probably issue number 8,000 on the list of things that voters are thinking about. >> kennedy: really quickly, molly? >> molly: a final word, go ahead. >> kennedy: if joe biden's elected president of the united states and
9:37 am
clarence thomas retires, my prediction is joe biden will nominate anita hill for that seat on the court. you're welcome. >> molly: that would be -- [laughs] it would be a fascinating history, potentially, down the road. we are still an election day away from seeing this play out. interesting thoughts. we are moments away from the president 'at labor day news conference. something to look forward to pizza to begin at 1:00 p.m. eastern time. we will take you there live as soon as it gets under way. plus a 12-year-old boy reportedly punished for flushing a toy gun in his virtual classroom. his virtual classroom. did the school overreact? ♪ if your dry eye symptoms keep coming back, inflammation in your eye might be to blame. looks like a great day for achy, burning eyes over-the-counter eye drops typically work by lubricating your eyes and may provide temporary relief. ha! these drops probably won't touch me.

"the virtual setting is not the same as the school setting. he did not take the gun to school. he's in the comfort of his home. it's a toy." leslie, your thoughts on this? a toy. do you think the school took this too far? >> leslie: there are few moving parts here. you kind of clumped it together. i have a 12 and 13-year-old who are doing virtual online schooling, so i certainly get this from the position of the parent. i do agree with brian that parents need to be notified. the school has a policy -- and you can look it up online -- their policy is to call the police when there's an incident. their policy is, while they are virtually learning online, because they're open, as most schools are, to have the
9:45 am
children come back in person. that they are keeping the laws that are set by the school board. calling the police is one of those. the police chose to go out. the teacher didn't ask them to. the teacher was very specific that this was a toy gun. there was a second boy in the room who allegedly got five days suspension, as well, who picked up the gun, pointed it at the screen, pulled the trigger, and there were complaints from some other students' parents who were frightened by that. of course, the police felt maybe they needed to check this out. five days is too much. i don't think one day is wrong. yes, this is a toy, and thank god, but what if it hadn't been? i think that the police that the right thing to make sure the children were okay, but the parents should have been called by both the school and the police. >> one of the issues here is the privacy issue. the parents weren't able to see the actual video that the school was recording, although they said this isn't their current current practice to record online, they virtual classes. they weren't able to watch the
9:46 am
actual video except through the police cameras. the police watch the video. are there priva kennedy? >> kennedy: this is why parents are leaving schools. this is beyond insane. there are words for this kind of insanity. it wasn't a toy gun, it was a picture of a toy gun. there was no incident because it wasn't at school. it was so clearly a fake gun, it had an orange tip, it was green, and said "zombie hunter." he didn't take it in his backpack and waved it around, it was a picture of a toy gun. the overreaction of calling the police, that should scare the crap out of any parent. imagine what other justifications a school could use to send police to your house. what if you have an overzealous police officer or a social worker who takes the child out of the home? then parents have to spend tons of money on legal fees trying to get that kid back, when it could
9:47 am
have been solved with a simple phone call. this is a 12-year-old boy. that is what 12-year-old boys used to be allowed to do. that is how they would have fun and blow off steam, and express themselves, but that is no longer allowed because boys especially are being stifled phenomenally in public schools. for parents who are thinking about pods and micro schools and home schooling and charter schools and religious schools, i say go for it. this is a prime example of how public schools and teachers' unions have lost their collective minds. other than that, i think it's great. [laughter] >> kristen: thank you, kennedy. coming up, a stunner at the u.s. open, and the debate dividing the sports world. the judges of the back by disqualifying the world's number one tennis player but what looks like an accident? that's next. music music customizes your car insurance

>> kennedy: the sports world buzzing over the disqualification of the world's number one tennis player, novak djokovic, from the u.s. open. he swatted a ball behind him, apparently in frustration, after losing a game yesterday. it hits a line judge in the throat. he ran to her aid, looking
9:52 am
horrified, as she fell to the ground. judges huddled and defaulted him from the tournament. one espn analyst says he had had incidences like this in the past. djokovic left the stadium without speaking to the media but did address the situation on the 'gram saying, "i'm sorry to have because of such stress. as for the disqualification, i have to go back in and work on my disappointment and turn this all into a lesson for my growth and evolution as a player and human being." i think that's an appropriate response for him. he obviously felt bad, but was it an overreaction to disqualify the world's number one player from a grand slam? >> brian: i didn't know anything about these issues prior to this, so does watching it as someone who likes tennis and likes to watch him play, i watched that video probably a dozen times. it was obviously an accident.
9:53 am
a careless move. you kind of wonder, throwing a guy out of an entire tournament for an accident like that, i get some penalty is warranted. there's got to be something less or you do. throwing the main guy out of this tournament that is word dumb i worth watching, nobody else's and in this as far as a casual observer is concerned. he becomes much was interesting. it went from 0 to 60 on this. is there not something in between the could have done with regard to what he did? >> kennedy: let's check in with john mcenroe, who also famously defaulted from the 1990 australian open for misconduct. if he knows anything about being a hothead on the court, he certainly has something to say about that. this is what he said to say about djokovic's disqualification. >> the pressure got to him, i think. a lot has been going on and off the court. it has obviously affected him. now he is, whether he likes it or not, going to be the bad guy the rest of his career. it'll be interesting to see how
9:54 am
he handles that. >> kennedy: being the bad guy has been very lucrative for john mcenroe, leslie. you and i both grew up watching his exploits on the court, and a lot of people watched tennis for his tantrums. they clearly changed the rules so players are disqualified or punished if they have any outbursts like that. has the game become too boring? >> leslie: i agree, we use to tune into watched john mcenroe through his tennis racket and scream at the judges. it was the drama. he definitely was a drama queen or drama king on the court. look, he was the first to get thrown out, as he said, at that grand slam. there are rules. tennis is definitely a game of rules, decorum, and this, even though it was an accident, really wasn't even about hitting her. it was about his behavior. almost childish, if you think about it. "i didn't win, so i'm going to hit my ball.
9:55 am
i didn't win. i'm going to pack up my toys and go home." brooding. that is not the decorum that the sport of tennis puts out there. since 1990, they have been very strict about their guidelines. he knows that. you notice john mcenroe didn't say he didn't deserve to get kicked out. he simply said it'll be interesting to see how he deals with being labeled the bad guy. >> kennedy: it'll be good for him, it's fine. djokovic famously gave up gluten and it improved his game. kristen, does he need to reintroduce gluten in order to get his temperament back to baseline? [laughter] >> kristen: when john mcenroe was talking, he was discussing things happening off the court. bear in mind, djokovic has been in the news recently because he's trying to unionize tennis players. he may have stress over that off the court, but it doesn't make what is on the court right. actions of consequent this. >> kennedy: real commie the prewe don't need unions and tennis. the president said to speak at the white house on the economic recovery from a coronavirus
