the country, the economy can move forward. >> dana: i bet your kids are glad to be back in school, but they'll be glad to come back this afternoon. thank you for joining us. i'm dana perino. bill hemmer, you have to feel for these parents and kids. >> bill: i was in ohio last week, they're playing soccer and football, all of it. >> dana: have a good show. >> bill: see you then. good afternoon, everybody. tuesday after labor day weekend. i'm bill hemmer. wait until you hear from the president, he's on stage right now, on cue, and expecting a highlight with the agenda. later it's on to battleground north carolina, two critical swing states in one day, both went right for him and 2016. election day is two months away, both campaigns are moving to a higher gear for the faux stomach

post-labor day sprint to the finish. i will speak to steve quartiles, jacqui heinrich is in delaware with the latest, but first, white house correspondent john roberts who was on the north lawn. talking about jupiter, florida, now. >> florida is 29 electoral votes, a big battleground, one the president would like to have and a new poll shows it's even up and moving the president's direction. the trump ticket, leading the biden ticket by one point among registered voters when you asked likely voters who they prefer, it's event at 48-48. the president on his way today, saying he will do whatever it takes to be joe biden, even if it means his campaign, if it runs short of money, taking in $100 million of his own campaign. listen here. >> i would put it up like i did

in the primaries last time. in the 2016 primaries i put up a lot of money. if i have to i will do it here. whatever it takes. we have to win. >> it's going to be about conservation and to the environment and a significant energy coming up. >> bill: thank you. we'll take our viewers there live in a moment. steve cortez, senior advisor for strategy. welcome to our program. here's the map four years ago. this is florida, the results against hillary clinton, pretty obvious while you go to florida, it's a battleground state. i mentioned this a moment ago, north carolina later today. he won the state by three points. i don't have a ton of time. we want to get the message in florida. how do the state stack up for you? >> the momentum is going our way right now. public and private polling shows us that and the reason is

because of the economic momentum. there is a economic renaissance of foot in this country. that's not just my opinion, that's what the economic data tells us, the blockbuster jobs report that we got on friday. this kind of momentum in the economy argues for president trump's win. he pulls better on the issue of the economy. i believe that will be the decisive factor in pushing floridians and north carolina ends to once again validate this president and reelect them so we can continue the boone. >> bill: and north carolina, three times more battle requests have been made by democrats. in florida 47% democrat, 32 republican. much of the concern is after the campaign early on. >> is it a concern, sure. we know the enthusiasm among

trump voters dwarfs the enthusiasm of biden. not my opinion, we see that statistically. i think we see an antidote to glee. there were parades all over this country, massive ones. i have yet to see my travels around this country, i have yet to see a biden flag fly behind a single boat or pickup truck and i see that all over this country. i'm optimistic that our crowd is going to show up. i think largely in person. we believe an absentee vote by mail, but largely on election day and we are going to defy the skeptics and the critics. it's because of the economy. >> bill: one more campaign cash, is he willing to put $100 million up? knowing how much money it takes? >> it's an amazing testimony to his commitment to this country and winning this race. i will also point this out, we

didn't have a lot of cash in 2016 and we still won. we have enough firepower. i'm not surprised that the big money interests, the global of america, boardrooms and power salons, are they bagging joe biden? absolutely because they want a return to priest be five days. i'm not surprised >> bill: we shall see, thank you, we appreciate you coming on. steve cortez. now to florida. the president is about to announce a ban on oil development weird that's an extension and the gulf of mexico and there could be more after that. let's go to the east coast of florida. >> president trump: what do you think? i do want to preface that because the fake news is back there. when i say the cleanest air we've ever had come is that okay? a couple of hundred years ago i would imagine it was pretty go

good. to safeguard our stunning coasts, i signed legislation authorizing $100 million to fight the red tide and toxic algae. and to preserve the everglades and defend florida from catastrophic flooding. you know about the flooding. we spent a lot of money on flooding, hurricanes. when your governors came to me and they said, can we have this, can we have that? we have to help the panhandle. i said, without question. without any weight, let's go. that's what we said. you've never had it so easy in your life. he would walk into my office and say, how much is it going to cost? how about an extra billion? my staff wasn't too thrilled. we had to override the staff a couple of times. we directed over half a billion dollars to fix the herbert hoover dike and lake.

[cheers and applause] we fixed it up good. we did a good job. we did a good job. we will now compete with this project and we are way ahead. you know, we are way ahead, three years ahead of schedule from what the original time of completion was going to be. in particular, i'm happy with what we have done on the lake. i know it well. i know it well. everyone said that one couldn't be done, they said it would never happen. it's a big deal. it's all gotten done. including the tide. finally from all of the problems that they've had. we've expanded funding for the everglades restoration by over 55% compared to four years ago. i also want to thank the army corps of engineers for their work on the reservoir and the

help. they are unbelievable. when they build it, i said, you know, you can do it less expensive than that. the walls don't have to be 7 feet, they can be like 2 feet thick. you know when the army corps of engineers do it, they do it right. we are building the wall, the wall between mexico and united states. we are over 300 miles of wall. that's a wall that's meant to last and meant to work. that will help revitalize the wetlands and the st. lucie river and the indian river lagoon. that was pretty good. we hit home without one. today i have a very important announcement. i don't know if it's bigger than the things we just announced and the things we've already done, or were in the process of

completing. i will sign a presidential order extending the moratorium on offshore drilling on florida's golf coursgulf coast and expando the coast of georgia and south carolina. [cheers and applause] [applause] thank you very much. thank you. thank you. thank you very much. i guess you like that one the best of all. this action follows close consultation with a florida governor ron desantis he's been incredible. rick scott, marco rubio, they work so hard, as well as lindsey graham and tim scott. thank you. he liked the idea right from the beginning. i said, what do you think?

it took you two seconds to say, i like it. the governor of south carolina, henry mcmaster. i also want to thank the governor of georgia, brian is doing a fantastic job. and a southerner from day one, from day one he's been with me. senator kelly loeffler and congressman doug collins and south carolina state representative nancy mace, i want to thank you all. incredible. thanks to my administration pro-american energy policies, we can take this step and the next step while remaining the number one producer of oil and natural gas anywhere in the world. we are the largest producer and the world, by far, were number one and were energy independent which is nice.

with fracking, the shale revolution and to the tremendous surge in american energy production, we are showing we can create jobs, safeguard the environment and keep energy prices low for america and low for our citizens. you also see when you pump the gas into your car and you're paying less than $2 lately. we are doing well. we have so much of it. i don't know. we have more than anybody ever thought possible. it's really incredible. the approach of joe biden and the radical left is exactly the opposite. their policies will destroy jobs, because energy prices to double, triple, quadruple. to skyrocket beyond belief and the environment will be badly hurt. if you go by that, badly, badly hurt. it will be permanently injured. they will take away our energy

independence and they will do it quickly and they won't even know what happened to them. we are dealing with smart customers. they know exactly what to do and they don't like it when were energy independent. they don't like it at all. it's been a really amazing thing for florida come up from the environmental standpoint. i have to tell you, from the energy standpoint and from a very important to level of cost, a level of cost now with fewer electric and so many other things created by energy and fuel. the likes of which you haven't seen in 30 years. as president i will defend our environment, i will defend our workers and our cherished way of life. last month i signed the great american outdoors act, the most significant investment in our national parks and over a century. since teddy roosevelt! teddy roosevelt. they came to my office, a lot of the senators that i just

introduced, they came to my office and they said that this will make us and make you the number one environmental president since teddy roosevelt. i said, that sounds good. i wasn't going to do it. i figured, let's not do it. when they said that, there was a challenge. i said, why does it only have to go back to teddy roosevelt which is a hundred years. why can't we say from george washington? right from the beginning. they said, were not quite there yet, but one more bill. number one since teddy roosevelt. who would've thought, trump is the great environmentalist? do you hear that? that's good and i am, i believe strongly in it. through this legislation we are providing $10 million for long maintenance projects in our national parks and florida has helped as anybody and may be.

my administration has cleaned up 61 epa pollution sites that were rotting all over our country. far more than obama, biden. no matter how far you go back, more than any administration. since my inauguration we have recovered more threatened species than any other administration has accomplished in its first term. earlier this year i announced the united states would join the 1 trillion trees and initiative. we already have 1 billion trees pledged to be planted and it's moving very rapidly. we have open to land and expanded access over 4 million acres of public lands for hunting and fishing, including over 200,000 acres in florida. my sons will be very happy to hear that. as the last administration pursued its globalist agenda abroad, they were all over the place.

they were everywhere but here in our country. they were taking care of other lands, countries you've never heard of and they didn't do a good job there either. they neglected the fundamentals of public health right here and the united states, right here in our home. my administration is focused on ensuring crystal clean air and water, under my administration we have seen a significant drop in air pollution since 2017. a very significant drop. for the first time and nearly 30 years we are strengthening standards to prevent vulnerable children from being exposed to lead, copper, including in our schools. they were exposed to lead and copper and drinking water. we've son dominic done some job with that. we've invested $38 billion to care for children. i'm committed to make sure the united states has the cleanest

air and cleanest water on earth. the contrast between our vision and the radical left has never been more clear. they talk a big game and they do nothing. that's what it is. they talk and talk, they talk about the environment, nothing happens. it's all talk. it's all words and no action. to our political opponents, environmental policy as an excuse to advance a socialist platform that will impose trillions and trillions of dollars in new taxes and send our jobs overseas nicking it impossible to open up new companies and to live less expensively. your energy costs would be four, five, sometimes ten times more expensive. you wouldn't even have energy. to my administration, environmental protection is a sacred obligation and so it is our duty to fight for the dreams and livelihoods of the citizens

we serve and to the citizens of florida that i know so well and that i love. it's my home. this is my home. [applause] we are rapidly restoring the greatest economy in history. we created the greatest economy in the history of our country and then we had to close it up when the china flag came in. we save millions of lives. we band highly infected china from coming in, it was highly infected. the people were highly infected, wuhan province, we band of them. everybody said i shouldn't do it. biden said don't do it. three months later he admitted i was right. we would've lost hundreds of thousands more, but we would've lost millions if we didn't close it up. now we are opening it up. we are setting records at every level. where maintaining that pristine resource of beautiful, clean

environment at every single community and florida and all over the country. we will always defend the everglades and we will always safeguard and the florida coastline. we will expand access for fishermen and sportsmen. we will uphold your right to hunt and we will protect you are right to keep and bear arms, your second amendment. [cheers and applause] i can tell you this, if joe biden gets it, he will have nothing to say about it. let's face it, he's shy. if joe biden gets in, your second amendment is gone it's gone. either obliterated to a point of being gone or gone itself. okay. you will not have a second amendment and the pressure put on me in the last four years to make massive changes to the second amendment which would have really rendered it worthless, ron knows.

the pressure put on me, very few people would have been able to withstand that pressure. they would have made big cuts and big changes. your second amendment will remain powerful. it will remain strong. it will remain with you. we will reassure our critical supply chains and we will bring back jobs in factories from china and other foreign polluters and everything we do will be guided by our love of this state, its people, and it's priceless natural treasures. from its breathtaking beaches, the vast marche marshes, the wid forest, there is no place on earth like the great state of florida. i can tell you, i'm so happy to have helped. when i was first elected, you had things that were in such bad

shape and now they're fixed or being fixed at a cost of a lot of money, but there either fixed or being fixed and soon they will be in better condition the day they were built which was many decades ago. we have things that were built a long time ago that were in a state of disrepair that you wouldn't believe. as long as i'm president of the united states we will conserve this wondrous national inheritance. from key west, to tampa to tallahassee, from the pensacola, beautiful pensacola. i love pensacola. 97%, that's one of the reasons. they said, how did you do in pensacola? 95, 97. that helps. it's amazing how that can help. right here to jupiter which i know very well. we will preserve this glorious land for our children. for our grandchildren and for every generation of american to

come. i will now sign this order. it's an order that does so much for the state of florida. i'm so proud to sign. i've been talking about this with ron and with all the people i mentioned for a long time. i said we want to get it done. this protects your beautiful golf and you are beautiful ocean and it will for a long time to come. congratulations to florida, georgia, south carolina and frankly, north carolina. i want to thank everybody for being here. this is a true honor for me to sign this order. thank you very much. >> bill: there you have it. jupiter, florida, along the atlantic coast. he will extend the ban on grilling. the prevention of drilling off the west coast and then he said he will expand it to the east coast as well so that the atlantic side, the gulf side and

up in the georgian, south carolina. that's the message and battleground florida. a state you will hear so much about. the other state is north carolina. he will make another trip there. we will follow both as we get into the heat of the action with less than two months to go. he's been watching and waiting. karl rove is there. welcome both of you. can i show you something? this is something else. you know it's that time. here are the results and florida four years ago. he won the state by 120,000 votes. this is what we're seeing in the polling now down in florida. put all of them together, the average, joe biden was obsessed. a month ago he was up four, today is 1.8. very interesting, very intriguing how this is developing. north carolina, biden up three,

today it's nearly a draw at .6. what is moving in the states that you see? >> i think the election will naturally tighten. the further we get away from the coronavirus, the more people's concerns will turn to the economy. donald trump has an advantage, joe biden has had the advantage, the further we get away, we saw how many people said it's labor day, i'm going to get out of my house. the more we see that happening the more the battleground states will tighten up. national polls have indicated a durable lead for joe biden nationwide, but in the battleground states that lead has been shrinking. >> bill: speaking of michigan that's tomorrow. how do you see this state of the race shaping up that we just showed? >> i agree. this is going to be a barn burner. it's going to be a nail-biter.

they are called battleground states for a reason. what's interesting to me as if you look at the top eight or nine states that people seem to agree are the real battleground states, there are more states that trump won and 2016 that are in play and there are states that the democrats won in 2016 that are in play. the state of minnesota is the one state that hillary clinton won that seems to really be considered a battleground state this time as opposed to states like michigan, wisconsin, florida, pennsylvania, and even arizona. he mentioned north carolina as well. those are states that donald trump won last time that are in play this time. >> bill: this is the tuesday after labor day. three weeks from tonight's debate number one, chris wallace, you will have

80 million people watching, maybe 100 million? you look at some of the polling that we found here from over the weekend, this is the question, who do you think when the debates? according to "usa today," donald trump is up six points. among independents it jumps to ten points. why would that be? >> i think people have taken a look at the two men and have concluded they think trump is going to be better off in the debate and handle himself better. this points to one important thing, the trump campaign needs to do everything i can to stop lowering expectations for joe biden and raise them. he handled sarah palin, paul paul ryan, as he states got smaller he got better. when it was he and bernie sanders, he handled himself well. whatever goes inside to the biden world, they get him psyched up and ready. these are going to be important

events, but the trump campaign should do what it can to raise expectations and not lower expectations. >> bill: we will get jacqui heinrich in a moment, but your final answer? >> the polls show that hillary clinton won every debate, she lost the election. it showed mitt romney beating president obama in 2012 in the first debate, he lost the election. these poles and what they say about who won the debate, they are meaningless. the debates are important, they're important for people to see the candidate side-by-side and they each go win with a set of strategic goals that they had those goals then they move onto the next thing in the campaign. and of these matter what the polling says about the debates. >> bill: thank you. we'll talk real soon. thank you. as i mentioned president trump as to north carolina later with

biden. jacqui heinrich has that story. >> good afternoon. upcoming travel signals a pretty significant shift and campaign strategy after labor day. yesterday biden, harris tackled two states. they are back in the air tomorrow from the vice president joe biden heading to michigan. thursday harris is heading to florida. on down days the campaign is still responding to president trump. biden telling floridians not to expect a plant from the president to beat the virus. they've also put out two new acts today as part of this week's $47 million across nine battleground states spirit >> this is our chance to put the darkness of the past four years behind us. to end the anger, the insults, the vision, the violence, and start fresh in america. we can stop focusing on a

president who thinks it's all about him and start focusing on what's best for us. >> biden's big spending comes amid reports the trump campaign is hitting a cash crunch. he will spend his own money, saying he dropped 50 million and has primary. the trump campaign has reportedly spent 8 million of the 1.1 billion race from last year. in the meantime biden's august fund-raising shattered records. while the biden campaign continues to outspend republicans on ads, the trump campaign is hammering biden for reading from a teleprompter at his events claiming even his or remarks were prepared. >> what will your administration do help him? >> thank you. >> let's move it up here. you know, there used to be a

basic bargain in this country. >> the campaign has not answer the questions if he was using a teleprompter. >> bill: thank you. jacqui heinrich, nice to see y you. moments ago after the big august recess, what were learning about a vote on the next covid relief bill. some of the worlds top drugmakers signing a pledge. what that means for a timeline, next. hi♪ .

gunfire including one person delivering food. they say they had planned for the long weekend and had additional resources and place, in cleveland three people charged with a deadly shooting, an officer and an informant. 19-year-old man and two teenage boys facing murder charges. a cleveland police official telling they paid a detective a 25 year measure of the forest working undercover. he's just been sworn and with the fbi task force and support of operation. also from brooklyn, new york, five people shot over the weekend including a six euro boy or th "the new york post" sums p the violence with this cover, madness. reporting from new york city with more on this today. >> that boy thankful he is out of the hospital where he had to have surgery on his leg because the bullet shattered his femur.

that boy and his mom are among the five victims who were shot. as you said early monday during that celebration, a total of 28 people were shot over the holiday weekend. listen to bill de blasio this morning acknowledged the boy's and then claim it was a peaceful weekend. >> we had one incident and it was a very troubling incident, but except for that, overwhelmingly we had a peaceful weekend and a central broke lent and it really is because of the hard work of everyone. >> police have arrested two people in connection with this shooting and also have two guns involved in that shooting. >> bill: what is happening with the protest in rochester, new york? >> breaking news actually, just the last hour, the police chief

just announced that he is resigning. he is retiring in a resignation letter that's being shared by local media. he writes "as a man of integrity i will not sit idly by while outside entities attempt to destroy my character. the events over the past week or an attempt to destroy my character and integrity." as you know, he and the mayor had been under immense pressure from protesters who'd been calling for them to step down. this resignation comes hours after police declared an unlawful assembly there last night. protesters got into a standoff with police and that went on for about two hours. and ended peacefully. overall the day was peaceful. the city council is investigating what the mayor knew about the death of daniel prude and when she knew it. again, this announcement comes during a daily briefing they just started in that city of

rochester to ensure that there is going to be some transparency moving forward. >> bill: thank you. i want to bring in jason johnson current law enforcement legal defense. he is an attorney and maryland. thank you for your time. you defend accused police officers all the time. what would you say to those on the streets protesting, they file social injustice? >> unfortunately the effects of these cases often slips away from the news cycle. we hear the headline, the names of the people that are involved, but we don't really care much about the effects of the specific case. that's really missing in the conversation. there are radicals in this city that i don't care what the facts are, but for the good hardworking americans that think there's been an explosion of police misconduct, they need to pay attention, the use of force by police has never been lower

than ever. >> bill: how do you react to calls to defund? they're asking for 10 million. baltimore is 22 million about a budget the same size, 550 million. >> it's an absurd idea. the idea that you can reduce law enforcement in a situation, the cities are fighting violence like never before. certainly since 2014 in the freddie gray case. these other cases across america, new york, l.a., other cities, minneapolis. we are seeing violence increasing dramatically. they haven't even defunded yet, but what they've done is a dispirited police officers that serve those cities. there on the defensive now and they are unable to serve in the way that they are intended to do which is to prevent crime. to defund those agencies that

are so critical is an absurd as idea. >> bill: you talk about the facts of the case, they no longer matter in america. it disrupts the judgment you would point out. there was a case over the weekend where there was a young man who was killed by a cop and there is a body camera that shows that as soon as he got out of the car come i didn't but seven seconds. apparently the person he was after took a gun and threw it to the side. in a case like that, how can we better understand the split-second decisions that officers are required to make while on the job and making a decision between their own life and the life of someone else. >> in that case you mention, within an hour there were protesters at the police precinct protesting this wrongful death of this young man. of course it was a tragic death, but we look at the camera and we see who can pull a gun on a

police officer. they are trained to recognize that. this police officer did and thank goodness he did. it saved his life. the officer performed exactly the way we expect him to and we have evidence of it which is what everyone wanted. it's great that we have that. i would like to see members of the community, including elected officials and others really spend some time learning how police officers are trained, learning about the law that applies. they can do that anyway that's very immersive. they can train them just the way we would train the police officers. they really understand what it's like for them to respond to these situations. >> bill: we are watching the news every day, it seems like we have had a fever pitch in there. how do we bring that down? >> i really think the only way to do with it is for people of

goodwill to really educate themselves on how police officers operate, how they're trained, the law that applies, and understand the fact that we are not looking at an epidemic and police use a deadly force, it's never been lower in history. if we can look back, the largest police department and the country, they discharge their firearms almost a thousand times and 1972. 35 times. we are looking at -- we should be celebrating the progress and looking forward for additional progress rather than thinking we are facing some sort of a cris crisis. >> bill: i appreciate you coming on. thank you. jason johnson. >> thanks. >> bill: we have a lot of dramatic rescues in california, the fires are taking off. we have set a new record with more than 200 acres burned. more coronavirus cases on college campus including some length to a fraternity party. the doctor is in two tells what we need to know.

>> neil: on capitol hill moments ago, the senate is back in session. running upwards of $300 billion, that is a significantly less then we talked about prior. mitch mcconnell saying they hope to get a vote on thursday this week. chuck schumer, nancy pelosi say the new bill doesn't come close to addressing the funding needed for relief. we will see how that goes. meanwhile, from morgantown, west virginia, the university suspending undergrad classes through the 25th of september. they moved them because of a rise and cases. university of new hampshire with a dozen cases to a fraternity party, that fraternity has been

suspended while the school investigates. professor of medicine, new york medical college, how are you doing? welcome back. good afternoon. there seems to be a pattern with these schools, they postpone things for two weeks, they take a break and then come back and see how that works. does that work from your perspective? >> i think that's a mistake. it's important we have virtual education, but i think it's important the students come back. we knew labor day they were going to be fraternity parties, nobody wears masks. these are young people. remember, people between the ages of 18 and 40 may get infected, but they don't usually die, with few exceptions. there are basically transmitters of the disease. to send them home after they've been infected and a fraternity party is a big mistake.

>> bill: can i tell you, i've been to a few high schools, kids are back in class, they're all wearing masks, they social distance, their playing football, soccer, and they're making the big ten look real bad. what you think? >> i think that's amazing actually because i think as a student gets older they should really be less cooperative. the young people, you can't -- elementary school kids are not going to wear a mask very long, but it's a great thing to hear that. staggered classrooms with kids who are 6 feet apart, perfect. staggered hours for children and high schools, but college, we have medical students that don't wear masks. we have medical residents that don't wear masks. these are professionals. they feel vulnerable and to some degree they are correct.

they're going to be infected. they're going to be sick, but they're not going to be very sick and if they go home and give it to their parents, they are grandparents, that's a problem. >> bill: i just don't want us to be staring through a straw, thinking the other countries are staying home. they're not. people are participating in the events of life. the last point, vaccine pledge, big pharma. they pledged to make sure that before something goes out, the safety and well-being of the individual will be the top priority. how significant is this? >> it is the first time it's ever happened, and you know were on the verge of completing phase three which would be the efficacy trials, what is an efficacy trial, a test over 30,000 people against placebo versus the actual vaccine.

we look at different ethnicities, african-americans, latinos, children, elderly and we see if the vaccine works. there was a word an of a emergey use, but they're going to abide by phase three rules. the vaccines that we get are going to be very safe and i encourage everyone, i mean everyone not only to get covid-19 vaccine, but also influenza and do it now. >> bill: is that before the end of the year or that 2021? >> it's going to be probably, and i will bet on this, december, before the holiday spirit >> bill: that would be a nice holiday gift doctor, thank you. nice to see you again. another alert, house democrats launching a new investigation into the post master general while republicans want
