of less than 100 people as they get ready for the chris wallace topics, candidates records, the supreme court, coronavirus, the economy, race and violence in america and the integrity of the election, the president used the rose garden to get head of criticism over his handling of the coronavirus announcing millions of new tests handed out to the state. >> i'm pleased to report we are announcing a plan to distribute 150 million point of care tests in the coming weeks, very soon, more than double the tests performed, here's our plan, 50 million tests to protect the most vulnerable communities. >> reporter: biden was off the campaign trail at a virtual fundraiser, he will do all in his power to make the case why donald trump should not be reelected, a likely line of attack of the new york times report over the president's taxes. >> first thing i said, did you

say $750.00? couldn't believe it. literally i thought someone must -- after -- truly shocking. it is so unfair. >> when it is all over another change due to covid-19, no spin room but there will be surrogates on different media outlets trying to say their candidate won. in the end chris wallace says his goal is to remain as invisible as possible to allow the candidates to engage in the issues. we will see what happens. it will be a big night. todd: activity in a big night and a heckuva night following. thank you so much. shannon: kerrimac in any says donald trump has had the best debate preparation he could over the past four years.

>> the president has done enough preparation, you can't have better preparation than taking the most hostile questions in the white house press corps each and every day multiple cases and often times on the way to the plane, back from the plane, the press briefing room but he's done some additional prep and he's ready to go. shannon: let's get some logistics out of the way. there are several ways to watch coverage of tonight's debate, you can tune in on the fox news channel commercial free with the foxbusiness network, fox news radio, foxnews.com and the fox news apps, you live stream on our facebook page and youtube channel. our own chris wallace moderating the debate from 9:00 to 11:00 pm eastern time. shannon: supreme court nominee amy coney barrett will meet with senators, she will meet with 9 senators including majority leader mitch mcconnell.

>> fox news alert, malware attack forcing one of the nation's largest hospital systems off-line. >> facility savoring ambulances, canceling surgeries, jackie ibanez here with the mysterious outbreak affecting 9 one one service, this is bad. >> could be one of the largest cybertax on medical system ever, universal healthcare hit by a ransom where attack that started over the weekend, that is when hackers broke into the system demanding payment to block access, laboratories and pharmacies across 250 us facilities forcing healthcare workers to move. affected locations redirecting ambulances and relocating patients who need surgeries to nearby hospitals, universal health services describing the issue as an it problem saying, quote, we limit extensive security protocols working diligently with it security

>> people are voting right now because they know the soul of the country is at stake. it doesn't matter to donald trump. >> biden and democrats are desperate to distract from the real issues which is their party has been taken over by socialists, extremists and probably communists. >> and just hours donald trump and joe biden will face off the first time making their cases the country. we've got a debate are on to decide who has the most approve and the most to lose. kelly hyman and republican strategist chris truehome. first question to you, you say donald trump has the most approve and the most to lose, why? >> thank you for having me on the show.

trump definitely has the most approve and the most to lose. we have to think about where we are with our economy. people are struggling personally, professionally, economically. we have covid-19. anyone who has been affected, my heart and prayers go out to you, we had 200,000 deaths. trump needs to be accountable for his actions and according to a recent fox poll the majority of theories think biden is more competent than trump to be president so trump has a lot on his mind. he does not want to lose his base but i don't think trump is going to lose his base but he definitely has a lot to lose and will be accountable to the american people. >> you agree with kelly? >> is what it comes down to. democrats do what they can to demonize the president, but here is what it comes down to.

>> that chris finished please >> 149,000 businesses, the first president, unemployment is never fallen below 7% under him, 5.2%. a phenomenal job. even taking into account what he pays in real estate taxes, property tax, payroll tax, democrats, to try to inflate issues, tried to fabricate things, simply not true. this is the president with promises filled, promises them, biden has been office for 45 years and donald trump was in four years it is making all type of things happen. if biden and democrats were going to do what they were going to do already, this is political politics and that is what this is about. >> that is a false narrative.

do you take more taxes than donald trump? i'm sure you do. i'm sure a lot of people do. we have to think about we better off today than we were four years ago and the answer is no. people are struggling personally, professionally, financially and they want change, they don't want a president according to the washington post that has 20,000 lies and misleading statements, they want a true leader that is going to be honest with the american people, going to represent all our people, not just minority of people. people want change and biden proves that. >> they don't talk about jeff bezos and liberal individuals. the reality is you are right but guess what. i'm not at this moment today at least putting ninth of dollars into the economy and given tons of jobs, donald trump has and is with this economy, that's the difference. we should be awarding individuals doing more to make the economy, last time i checked i was not providing thousands of jobs to the economy, that's what this is about. >> no one line question, write

the headline tomorrow morning. >> biden wins. >> donald trump liberates joe biden. >> you started off pretty well at 4:17 the morning of the debate. i hope chris wallace does as well on the fox news channel. appreciate your time. jillian: democrats want amy coney barrett to recuse herself from election cases as kamala harris says she has not made plans to meet with the judge. >> i haven't made one way or another a plan. i will be involved in my role and responsibility. jillian: should the vice presidential nominee recuse herself from the confirmation process on the campaign trail? it may not matter either way. she is live to explain. ♪

>> the supreme court showdown set to take center stage as more democrats refuse to meet with judge amy coney barrett before her confirmation hearing. it is good to see you this morning. let's pull up the list of democratic senators refusing to meet with amy coney barrett, richard blumenthal, hirono, chuck schumer, jeff merkley, bob casey, you see them on your screen. >> it is a partisan -- democrats think they have power they don't

have a majority, it is largely irrelevant to be honest. >> chris coons decided to speak with her one way or another in person or the phone. >> that is part of the normal process of considering a nominee and we should not have this rush to process. we should have the time to consider her writings, her opinions, things she has said as a law professor. the judicial philosophy, her policies. i look forward to questioning her about that. jillian: he says i want to question her because i want to get these things answered. what will be the main focal point of their questioning? >> they will look into her viewpoints personally. she is an attorney and member of

the bar, and will do so again for the supreme court and the principal called start this isis. whether her views are religious or not has nothing to do with how she holds as a judge and articles, people may have certain viewpoints, the obligation to hold the law. >> that is something people forget when they have these conversations. a lot are calling on her to recuse herself from election cases. do you think that happens and let's talk about kamala harris in a second. >> there is no reason, legally sell or otherwise for that to occur. makes no sense whatsoever. there is no bias, the supreme court is set to hear cases in a few weeks but that has no

impact. if she's appointed and confirmed there is no reason for not to hear any case. >> let's pull up a list of democrats calling out her to reduce herself from election cases, senator cory booker, kamala harris, just before we came to this segment leading to be a commercial break we heard from kamala harris and she said she hasn't made a plan one way or another, she will be involved in the healings and performing her role and responsibility on the senate judiciary committee. do you think she should? that is the question some are asking right now. >> at least she admitted she has responsibility. she has no power because republicans control the senate. she may feel emboldened but she will not be impactful. the republicans have the upper hand. i appreciate that she has a job to do and a roll but whether she acts in one way or another is not going to have any impact. >> october 12th is the the date, time is winding down.

thank you for joining us, appreciate it. >> 25 after the hour. we've all heard them, joe biden's gaffes on the campaign trail. >> we choose truth over facts, >> for kids are as talented as white kids. >> my name is joe biden, i'm a democratic candidate for the united states senate. >> with that in mind is tonight's debate make or break for the 4 of the people to speak says biden has a lot to prove that he could pull it off, she explained next. take a look at this, aloe in decoration may cost you an arm and a leg. the 12 foot skeleton. ♪ thriller ♪ thriller overnight ♪ no one is going to save you from the beast about the bite ♪ thriller ♪

jillian: coronavirus deaths pass 1 million worldwide with the us topping the list of countries

driving those numbers. >> millions of covid-19 tests will soon be sent to state that no cost. >> more than 1 million people have died of covid-19 around the world, a fifth of them in the united states as lockdowns and outbreaks continue. starting in israel that is currently under a countrywide lockdown, two hospitals in jerusalem have reached capacity to treat coronavirus patients as the country c 6 to 8000 cases each day. amid a political battle on how to lockdown the country the restrictions could last far into next month. next to spain, dealing with a massive second wave, the capital of madrid has 700 cases per 100,000 people. officials disagree about how to proceed with lockdowns. 40% of icu beds in madrid are

occupied by coronavirus patients, a worrying statistic for the spanish government that fears localized collapses of medical systems. in argentina were total cases to pay 700,000 people infected. the seventh a rolling average for daily cases in argentina is 11,000 meaning the country is nowhere near returning to normal life. all this is donald trump is ramping up covid-19 testing in the united states. yesterday from the rose garden the president announced the federal government is distributing 150 million rapid coronavirus tests, many will go to schools and nursing homes to protect vulnerable people in the population, the focus remains on testing as everyone is waiting for reliable treatment and ultimately a covid-19 vaccine. >> joe biden is on the campaign trail in preparation for tonight's debate. >> liz peek is the matchup could make or break the former vp's chances and lives joins us to explain. what do you expect of joe biden tonight. >> this is all about joe biden for two reasons.

one is he's made major flip-flops from earlier policy positions, he is no longer the moderate he claims to be, the media has given him a path on changing his decisions on china, on trade, on the hyde amendment and any number of other issues. important to see whether joe biden can survive a fast-paced, and teleprompter debate but it is also important for voters finally to dig down into what his policies look like and whether they are good for the country, something that no reporter has been able to do. >> leads me to this question, what exactly do you think voters need to hear from joe biden tonight that they haven't gotten answers the last few months? >> let's start with his tax policy. >> you wants the rich to pay their fair share but also wants to heighten corporate taxes. even brookings institute tax policy center which is a

left-leaning organization says raising taxes by $4 trillion way joe biden wants to do it is bad for all americans, not just wealthy americans but will cost the lowest quintile americans a substantial hit to their take-home pay. that is something joe biden has not been asked about. why would you raise taxes when the economy is trying to come out of a recession because of the covid-19 shutdowns. we know raising taxes is not good for the economy. he has to answer the question, no one has asked that a man i would love to see him asked about school choice, something 68% of black families are prove of and he said he has not been in favor of. that is important. black people need better schooling particularly in the inner cities to get the second run of the ladder of opportunity in this country, democrats are opposed to school choice and joe biden cities opposed to it but black families once to see.

why should black families given their vote. there are all kinds of issues no one has grilled him on. >> you alluded to this earlier. which joe biden will show up tonight? the good public speaking joe biden the bad public speaking joe biden, let's listen to the good. take a listen. >> truth over factss. >> for kids are as bright and talented as bright kids. >> my know is joe biden, i'm a democratic candidate for united states senate. >> you know the thing. >> those were the gas. do we have the good joe biden? we do not have a good joe biden. there is agreement on both sides that joe biden has had strong debate showings we are not hiding them, we just don't have the tape ready. can joe biden pressed his way

into not having gaffes court is a debate like live tv unscripted, things happen. >> what they are trying to get him to do is not rise to any taunting the president might throw his way. we know joe biden can go off the handle particularly when he is angry and donald trump goes after hunter biden's alleged corruption or issues about joe biden's cognitive abilities, he could get riled and that is when he goes off the rails. we know from past debate he can prep significantly and however he does it, position himself to get through an hour or even 90 minutes without doing anything particularly awkward. that will be his challenge but a lot of it is down to temperament. we've seen him get angry and say injudicious things when provoked and i'm pretty sure they are telling him don't go there, don't get upset.

if somebody challenges you in a way you don't like. >> you will be watching, so we, thank you for joining us and you at home don't get to tune in tonight for the first presidential debate moderated by chris wallace, 9:00 pm eastern. >> senior fellow at the hoover institution says the democratic nominee is owned by the far left. >> the impression has been that he's been a vessel of the left so he is no longer a centrist if he ever was but he is carrying along these positions that are very radical and refuted by the voters in the primary. bernie didn't get the nomination and cory booker and kamala harris and beto, they all crashed and burned, that vampire-like experience has resurrected itself and is being carried forth by biden. >> bernie sanders previously said biden could be the most progressive president since fdr.

>> the hero. the gunmen who killed two people in texas church will not be charged. jack wilson, firearms instructor was head of the church security team, shot and killed the gunman. prosecutors say he was justified use deadly force under state law. recall in january, greg abbott awarded him the middle of courage for his actions. jillian: kentucky attorney general will report grand jury deliberations in the reality of the case after what is yours to make the details public, there have been days of protest after no officers were directly charged into arrested in march. and 9:00 pm curfew has expired. former detective brett anderson is charged with wanton engagement for shooting into a nearby apartment. he pleaded not guilty at his arraignment yesterday. >> 40 wisconsin sheriffs in endorsing donald trump's

guy was going residential buildings in minneapolis pressuring people for these ballots, taking away from the elderly. >> carley shimkus with serious xm 115 with more on project a this in the investigation. >> that started with this right-wing activist group releasing footage the claims to show supporters of ilhan omar engaging in ballot harvesting by bragging about how many votes they collected and footage that shows people paying other people to vote, cash for vote scheme. the minneapolis police released a tweet saying they are investigating, the mpd is aware of the allegations of overharvesting, we are looking to the validity of these statements, no further information is available at this time on this. congresswoman omar's camp responding that all of this is a bunch of baloney, quote, the

amount of truth to the stories equal to the amount donald trump paid in taxes in 10 of the last 15 years, 0, amplifying a coordinated right-wing campaign to delegitimize the free and fair election this fall, undermine our democracy. project there is released controversial video in the past but police on a case involving this. shannon: a tough weekend in seattle could be leading to changes. >> obstructive weekend in seattle police made 10 arrests saturday as protesters set fire and damaged property. the department will make some staffing changes. they will move 100 officers on to patrol duty to reduce 9 one one response time so seattle's interim police chief says there are people going out and peacefully protesting we will

help facilitate the peaceful protests but if they are coming to create this mayhem we will address this mayhem but this sort of rioting, people calling 9 one one the folks over. >> if this was available, it would -- >> we will bring it back. i did see on ebay one selling for $700, we are talking the massive 12 foot skeleton that was being sold at home depot but it was sold out despite the $300 price tag so looks like some folks plan to celebrate how to wean in a big way. "fox and friends" executive producer stephanie freeman, her dad bought the skeleton and he is 6 foot 5, reference to how big this thing is.

there are pictures posted on line, as tall as their house. todd: if i am out sick with angela love this why not replace me? it would be more quiet. jillian: it is 47 after the hour. violence in cities is a key topic in tonight's debate. >> joe biden is weak, he surrendered his party to the flag burners, the rioters. >> those who engage in violence must be held accountable. >> biden denouncing the riders and murderers after months of silence. donald says the democrats spoke out only after seeing a dip in the polls, joined us next.

>> welcome back, the president and joe biden will bring their law and order message to the debate stage tonight. >> joe biden is weak. he surrendered his party to the flag burners, the rioters is all these guys running around these democrat in cities and states. >> start by addressing the use of force by police. those who engage in violence must be held accountable. >> after waiting for months to address the problem will the former vp standard chance against the president, tom homan joins us to weigh in. to borrow a sports analogy can joe biden do anything to keep the score close on law and order? >> now. joe biden, took a month to speak out about this violence and the president responded right away. joe biden spoke out when they showed the polls hurting them for being silent because these

protesters, people out there committing these crimes are his supporters. do we honestly think any of these people are supporters of donald trump? he didn't want to upset these people out there committing these crimes so he remained silent. there's a reason every police department and every church department in this country almost support donald trump, they know he's the law and order president. jillian: entertain me, if you are the moderator and you have an opportunity to ask joe biden a question about law and order what is your question? what do you need to hear from him? >> if joe biden has been in politics, what have you done to improve law enforcement in this country? why does every police department stand behind donald trump and walked away from you? not only has he sent federal

resources to cities that need it where democratic governors and mayors, shut down the protest, the crime in kenosha but operation legends where he sent federal agents to 9 different cities, 2000 arrests, 147,000 people, they seized 500 weapons. he can't stand toe to toe on donald trump with what donald trump has done and joe biden says he may do. todd: ice blaming the sheriff sanctuary policies for allowing hundreds and hundreds of illegal immigrants back on streets in la county. when i heard this the question that popped into my head, are we ever going to get back to the post-9/11 cooperation we saw between agencies, between various law enforcement groups to protect our borders? >> i hope so.

you shouldn't have stovepipes, law enforcement should be working in law enforcement and cops to be working with cops, the sheriff of los angeles is an outsider, the california sheriffs association the vast majority were against sb 54, they are out there every day working in the confines of sanctuary law but the sheriff ran on the promise the first day of office kicking ice out of jail and he did. the day he made the decision he stopped being a law enforcement officer and became a politician because knowingly releasing public safety threats back to the public is just dumb. law enforcement officers don't do that, law-enforcement officers do what they can to protect their communities. is not doing that. is not protecting immigrant communities like he says he is because you release public safety threats and the community they will reoffend in the community in which they live, the immigrant community, releasing bad guys from jail will go through the community,

going to find others, others, tell me how he protects the immigrant community when they have greater risk of crime, greater risk of ice arrests, just ask the immigrant community would you rather have ice working the jail to arrest a bad guy or working the neighborhood? what do you think the answer is going to be? jillian: thanks for joining us. >> coming up in the next hour of "fox and friends first" the pandemic a hot topic it tonight's debate. doctor mark siegel wants to hear about public health measures rather than markdowns, he joins us live. >> new york times op-ed argues we don't need debate but would job biden field tough questions without them? that is coming your way in the next hour. robinhood believes now is the time to do money.
