"the new york times," totally discredited 1619 project. this project rewrites american history to teach our children that we were founded on the principle of oppression, not freedom. nothing could be further from the truth. america's founding set in motion the unstoppable chain of events that abolished slavery, secured civil rights, defeated communism and fascism and built the most fair, equal, and prosperous nation in human history.

bear a striking resemblance to the anti-american propaganda of our adversaries because both groups want to see america weekenweakened, derided, and toy diminished. students in our universities are inundated with critical race theory. this is a marxist doctrine holding that america is a wicked and racist nation, that even young children are complicit in oppression, and that our entire society must be radically transformed. critical race theory is being forced into our children's schools. it's being imposed into workplace trainings and it's being deployed to rip apart friends, neighbors, and famili families. a perfect example of critical race theory was recently
12:02 pm
published by the smithsonian institution. this document alleged that concepts such as hard work, rational thinking, and the nuclear family and believe in god were not values that unite all americans but were instead aspects of whiteness. this is offensive and outrageous to americans of every ethnicity and it is especially harmful to children of minority backgrounds who should be uplifted, not disparaged. teaching this horrible doctrine to our children is a form of child abuse in the truest sense of those words. for many years now, the radicals have mistaken americans in silence for weakness. but they are wrong, there is no more powerful force than a

thank you. thank you very much. we embrace the vision of martin luther king where children are not judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character. the left is attempting to destroy that beautiful vision and defined america by race in the service of political power. by viewing every issue through the lens of race, they want to impose a new segregation and we must not allow that to happen. critical race theory, the 16th 19 project, and the crusade against american history is toxic propaganda, ideological poison that if not removed will dissolve the civic bonds that

12:08 pm
greatest americans who have ever lived. today i am announcing a new name for inclusion. one of the 56 signers of the declaration of independence was a patriot from delaware. in july of 1776, the continental congress was deadlocked during the debate over independence. the delegation from delaware was divided. caesar rodney was called upon to break the tie even though he was suffering from very advanced cancer. he was deathly ill. rodney rode 80 miles through the night through a severe thunderstorm from dover to philadelphia to cast his vote for independence. for nearly a century, a statue,

12:09 pm
one of delaware's most beloved citizens stood in rodney square right in the heart of wilmingt wilmington. but this past june, caesar rodney's statue was ordered removed by the mayor and local politicians as part of a radical purge of america's founding generation. today, because of that order i signed, if you demolish a statue without permission, you immediately get ten years in prison. [applause] and there have been no statues demolished for the last four months.
12:10 pm
incredibly, since the time i signed that act. joe biden said nothing as to his home state's history, and the fact that it was dismantled, dismembered, and a founding father's statue was removed. today, america will give this founding father, this very brave man who was so horribly treated the place of honor he deserves. i am announcing that the statu e of caesar rodney will be added to the national guard of american heroes. [applause] from washington to lincoln, from jefferson to king, america has

been home to some of the most incredible people who have ever lived. with the help of everyone here today, the legacy of 1776 will never be erased. our heroes will never be forgotten, our youth will be taught to love america with all their heart and all of their soul. we will save this cherished inheritance for our children, for their children, and for every generation to come. this is a very important day. thank you all once again for being here. now i will sign the constitution proclamation. god bless you and god bless america, thank you very much.

12:12 pm
>> bill: in a sober and straightforward speech on culture and the constitution, the president saying it's radical movement to attempt to demolish the pressured and treacherous inheritance of the u.s., saying radicals want you to think the country was founded on oppression and not freedom and saying he would sign an executive order to teach what he called patriotic education. i want to bring in john roberts, my colleague and also a nod to caesar rodney from the state of delaware. good afternoon to you, john. >> as you see, the president holding up the 1776 commission creation proclamation and the president really taking a moment here as he has so many times in the past to hammer democrats to not stand up to what he calls
12:13 pm
"left-wing mobs trying to tear down statues in cities across a. the president suggesting a new generation of americans are being indoctrinated by leftist educators trying to erase american history. here's what the president said at the beginning of the speech. >> we must clear away the twisted web of lies in our schools and classrooms and teach our children the magnificent truth about our country. we want our sons and daughters to know that they are the citizens of the most exceptional nation in the history of the world. >> you mentioned just a second ago about caesar rodney, one of the lesser-known founding fathers but he, like paul revere, made a midnight ride, this one from delaware to philadelphia during the second continental congress to cast a tie-breaking vote which eventually led to american independence. you see the statue of him and what was called rodney square in
12:14 pm
wilmington being removed. rodney was a slave owner and it was feared by officials in wilmington that like other statues across the nation's would be torn down so they took it down, the president wants to give it a home in the garden of heroes. in other news happening in the white house, keeping up the counter narrative to what cdc director to dr. redfield told congress about coronavirus vaccine, saying vaccine would likely not be available until next summer. i asked of the president whether he was comfortable with that timing. it is briefing yesterday at the white house and here's what he said. >> no, i think he made a mistake when he said that, it's just incorrect information. i called him and he didn't tell me that and i think he got the message may be confused, maybe it was stated incorrectly. we are ready to go immediately as the vaccine is announced and it could be announced in october. >> more pressure today to come
12:15 pm
up with a coronavirus relief bill, ceos with major airlines meeting with mark meadows today at the white house asking to extend the $25 billion paycheck support program or mass layoffs among airline employees will begin on october the 1st. is what meadows is said about it earlier today. >> is what we need to do. everyone needs to call on their house member to make sure that they stay here, that we negotiate at least, uses $1.5 trillion recommendation is the foundation for new negotiations. >> what meadows was talking about is the $1.5 trillion recommendation from the problem solvers caucus that will come up with some measure is to give people money for schools, other money, $500 billion for state and local governments which the president still kind of is not comfortable with though it does seem to be on an actual possible analysis. meadows also saying today after
12:16 pm
that interview with "fox & friends" that the white house may indeed be open to a separate measure for the airlines just to stave off those mass layoffs that could be coming just a couple weeks from now. >> bill: thank you, nice to see you from the north lawn. want to bring in sarah huckabee sanders, author of the brand-new book "speaking for myself." i've got a few things on the map i want to show you at the moment but what did you think of what the president just delivered and how they play, 47 days away. >> i love that the president is focusing on reminding people that it's okay to love our country. i think that's a great thing for us to teach in our schools, we don't need to be a country that apologizes for being the greatest country. let's protect what makes america so special. i think it's great for us to teach that in schools and remind kids that america is a great place, a place of freedom and opportunity and prosperity and safety and security, i think
12:17 pm
those are good things for kids to learn. >> bill: everything is through the lens of this election as we get those remarks. sarah, a little later the president is going to go to wisconsin, west of green bay to the county, excuse me, the county of marathon. he won by 60% of the vote four years ago, mitt romney's numbers, he did well, not quite as high, about seven points below. why did he go to county that you won by to slash one. >> i think it's good for him to go all across america, that's something we are seeing from this president, he's going into places to turn out people that have supported him in the past but also going to places or maybe they haven't done that. one of the things i love about donald trump, he is not afraid to go into any place, take difficult questions, take his message from coast-to-coast to every american. i think it's important for him to remind people, particularly
12:18 pm
in wisconsin, i think it's going to be one of the most important battleground states, that he is a person who built our economy to be one of the strongest we've ever seen. joe biden, in contrast has said he is open to shutting down businesses again which would be absolutely devastating to communities across the country, particularly in places like wisconsin. small businesses can handle another shut down like that. i think it's good for the president to go and talk about -- >> bill: i apologize for interrupting, my point is he's already got the vote. i can see that because you see all the right around the counties around here, perhaps ultimately that's the intent and we will see how that goes. in the meantime, sarah, a political report, they moved to nevada and florida a tour of the president's column earlier this week but arizona today, a state where he won by three and a half points in 2016, has now been put in the "lean democrat" category.
12:19 pm
what do you take from that, if that's free on ground there? >> i think it's one of the reasons you will see the president spent a lot of time in places like arizona, wisconsin, to drive up those numbers. there is still a lot of time left between now and election day. we haven't had a single debate where voters get to see that two candidates on a stage together. i think there is a pivotal moment in the selection, it matters a lot in 2016, it's going to be very important for the president in 2020. let's not forget, the president is the only one that has credibility in this race to talk about rebuilding the economy coming out of coronavirus and also, safety and security in communities, his willingness to stand up, that's going to matter in a lot of communities like phoenix and other places in arizona, the president needs to take that message to those people and drive those numbers up. >> bill: nice to see you today, good luck with the book and thanks for coming on. we will speak again very soon, thank you sarah sanders.

democratic turnout in the city. this past week they campaign launched ads targeting black voters in pennsylvania, slamming president trump for what they called empty promises. >> you see the trouble we are in economically, 170,000 americans dead and yet this president will do anything he can to make it seem like things are better than they are. >> i did more for the black community than anybody with the possible exception of abraham lincoln. >> harris's mobilizing women voters and tonight she speaks to latinos. this election for the first time ever, hispanics and latinos are the largest minority voting block across the country. cell phone data purchased by the biden campaign showed hurricane maria brought 80,000 puerto ricans to pennsylvania which could be a key variable in a state president trump won by only 4,000 votes.

12:37 pm
he's absolutely right about black lives matter. black lives matter doesn't care about black lives, they care about black lives that are killed by cops. the attorney general suggested that dozens of black men killed annually under controversial circumstances in their encounters with police. if that number is accurate, that so many people were killed in chicago last weekend, bill. a dozen, 12 black people were killed by other black people last weekend in chicago. one weekend. so where was the black lives matter outrage? where was the protest, where were the, you know, the democratic candidates, where were the activists who were so troubled by -- >> bill: so often we ask that question about chicago. hang on a moment here, here is how bill barr concluded that statement from last night. >> i you the question of black lives is not only keeping people alive but also having prosperity

asians, and so forth. that's a real civil rights. the report that just came out from the census bureau that said just before the pandemic, this was the lowest level of poverty ever in the young black community. this is real civil rights, in the tradition of the american story, where black people can participate. that's what you celebrate, that's movements to rewrite american history. i think it's deplorable. >> bill: leo, we've also confirmed that bill barr has asked prosecutors, department of justice to explore charges against the mayor of portland. keep in mind, some people died during those riots. >> let me tell you right now, as

unrest here in wisconsin three days after the shooting of jacob blake, black man shot by police but seven times back in august. >> bill: thank you, steve, we will watch later tonight and see how it goes. elected officials in the state of new jersey, they have found more than 1600 ballots from an election in july. they say they were put in a mislabeled band and they say it did not change the outcome of the race. special report anchor bret baier is here to tell us about this. we've got a couple things here for you, let me just show you the number of states in battleground areas that are, too weeks ago, pennsylvania started on monday, wisconsin starts today in minnesota tomorrow, michigan the following day. that tells us this election is underway.
12:49 pm
>> this has been underway, in north carolina they've been sending them out since septembe. averaging, according to the secretary of state there, 22,000 ballot requests every day. so far, and they track it by party requests, it's about 3:1 democrats to republicans asking for absentee ballots. the point being, it's exponentially more than any of these states have dealt with ever before because we are in this pandemic. and the question is what it's going to be like on election night, new jersey, those votes were counted right away and they were found and they didn't make a difference but imagine how many battleground states, potentially could make a difference. pennsylvania, a judge ruling today that they have to accept ballots that are coming in three days after election day even if they are not postmarked. assuming they were voted before november 3rd. if it's very close in any of these states and those are the
12:50 pm
laws on the books in those states, we can have a long time. >> bill: if biden blows out trump or trump blows out biden may be not a lot of this matters. we all believe and i think you would agree, as the election stands now 47 days out, we think this is razor tight. if it is razor tight it's going to make a difference. this new jersey story doesn't give people confidence. there is a story that was floating in north carolina where people were mailed to coabsentee ballots. the officials are saying that you cannot vote twice, clearly, and that the ballots are marked in a way that would not enable people even if you receive two ballots, to send two ballots back. when these headlines are out there and they keep on turning day after day, which i think they will because we have not seen an election like this before, it causes a lot of, i would say, confusion. >> angst.
12:51 pm
some of these states have done it for years and years and very good at it, they have a process and a check box and a process to make sure the ballots and signatures are right. other states are just starting this and have decided to step up into this just this year so the possibility for bureaucratic snafus, and we know the government, we are going to have a big job trying to track all of this. we will work our way through it along with viewers as we go. bill barr talked about the same thing just yesterday, talking about, i mean, he gave a hypothetical, i could give the mailman a hundred bucks in return for the ballots. that's the attorney general saying that. >> yeah, listen, here's the other thing. both sides, you heard hillary clinton's advice to joe biden, get a bunch of lawyers and fight it no matter what essentially was the message. donald trump is tweeting out, we're not going to know and this is going to be a problem, they
