brian's mom's recipes are in here. my grandmother's dressing is in here. that made us happy at thanksgiving and christmas every year. thanks for passing that along, steve. i challenge all of you go right now on amazon and buy it. buy it today so this is the number one cookbook in the world. steve: yes, i'm for that. brian: a lot of people did not know what to make tonight. steve: we have run out of stuff during the pandemic. brian: unbelievable. get it in a hurry. one of the things book cover on the second book in this generation of your cookbook is better thanked first. that's just my opinion. steve: thank you very much. ainsley: some great pictures and stories about your family, too. steve: today is the day. thank you very much. it's the debate day, brian. brian: by the way, i still don't understand why it's not at notre dame. that has got to be explained to me. griff jenkins is live in cleveland as they countdown. griff, that's your introduction. i'm out of words. griff: good morning, brian, ainsley and steve. the answer lies notre dame said that their students and volunteers couldn't come in

because of covid. covid has changed so much. this debate is going to look different start to finish. again with no handshake or elbow bump and end with no spin room. the candidates will be socially distance. not wearing masks. there will be a limited audience here that have all been tested and mostly ticketed guests, along with security, media and health staff. here is the topics you are going to get from chris wallace tonight. there is six of them. the candidate's records, the supreme court, the coronavirus, the economy, race and violence in america and the integrity of the election. almost certain to come up. the president's taxes. biden is already running an ad nationally. the "new york times" report that the president only paid $750 in taxes in 2016-2017. we are in ohio where president trump has spent some $3.4 million since may 26, according to the "wall street journal." compare that to biden has only spent 1.3 million. now, this is a battle ground here in ohio. and trump won it by more than 7 points in 2016.

he trails by now by 5 in the latest fox news poll. so a lot riding on tonight's debate nationally and here in ohio. and, guys, while the covid has had so many changes, so too has the concern for violence and protests and the spasm of civil unrest we have seen in cities across america. and not only is the debate needs to be protected but so, too, is that cleveland clinic you see behind me. one of the nation's premier medical facilities. i talked yesterday to a cleveland swatted guy doing preps. he says they will be ready and the national guard has been brought in. they had a press conference yesterday. here is a little bit of what they had to say. listen. >> members of the task force are specifically trained and equipped and prepared to support law enforcement in protection tasks. griff: both candidates yesterday said they are ready for it. the president held a rose garden press conference where he said tests. biden is off the campaign trail.

he says is he ready one thing is for sure, there will be unscripted moments that we don't see coming that i will be talking about with you tomorrow. brian, ainsley, steve? steve: that's right, griff. all parity of the post game show tomorrow. thank you very much. by the way, have you heard there is a debate tonight. watch the clock right under brian right there it's 9:00 p.m. eastern time. moderated by our own chris wallace there are many different ways can you watch it. watch it here on this channel, business channel, fox news radio, fox news.com. app. and will stream on youtube channel as well. people will be wanting to watch. we know that given the fact that it seems to be so tight in a number of the polls, the president wants to shake things up. but, at the same time, joe biden realizes that the president is going to try to provoke him and the biden team knows that if joe gets hot, that is not a good look for him. he did that with some actual voters.

so, people brian and ainsley are going to be watching tonight to see how quickly anybody takes the bait. because both teams are loaded forebear and let's see how fast it goes off the rails. ainsley: they have been preparing. president trump's team, he also played hillary clinton back in 2016 when they were preparing for debates. apparently his debate team has said that he is carefully studying biden's idiosyncrasies, weaknesses and how he says come on man when he is frustrated. when he is not cavuto he tries to change the subject or make the viewers forget the question. as far as biden is concerned former michigan governor jennifer grand home helping him. anita dunn who helped obama. ron kayleigh mcenany helped a lot. obama, clinton, al gore, john kerry and hillary rodham clinton. according to "the washington post" his radz worried about his emotional stability and he gets

hot, as you were saying, steve, when people go after his family. and john morgan who is that trial lawyer in florida. is he a biden donor, and he says that biden has to be careful not to let his irish temper blow, brian. brian: here is the trump campaign memo obtained by the hill. biden's alertness may be suspect do not under estimated his abilities in the debate. this may be where he shines. the media are going to declare biden the winner regardless. he has 47 years of practice. is he a career politician. is he experienced. biden is very well rested and prepared. a lid wept on yesterday 9:40 a.m. keep in mis mind his supporters want him to stick to covid-19. his supporters want him to talk about the economy. don't waste valuable time trying to fact check the president. which is weird a lot of people said you better fact check the president because chris wallace is not going to go that's not what happened. try to calm down when they go

after hunter biden and your brothers. but, i think more importantly is, what donald trump will say. he is not going to say i don't like hunt. i don't like your brothers. he is going to say what were your brothers doing? what was hunter doing with the wife of the mayor of moscow? what was he doing traveling with you in air force 2. how could you possibly expect us to believe you did not know he was going to meet with a chinese official linked with the chinese army. that's the difference going forward. one thing is pretty clear. mick mulvaney said something and i'm not mad for saying it out loud i thought about it. if biden doesn't do well at the last debate, is he going to use what indianapolis said and said this guy doesn't fight fair i'm going to got. biden has to survive. trump has to win. here is ari fleischer on his advice. >> i would smoke him out on far left issues about raising taxes. you said you would raise taxes twice as much as hillary clinton. you said you want a public option. barack obama didn't even go for a public option. how far left are you going to take america? force him to unite with bernie sanders on these domestic

policies. that's where you want to go. and i bring up the iran deal, too. he can show is how weak joe biden is across the board. is he so weak he no longer adheres to the positions he used to take. is he so weak he won't stand up to china anymore. and we have to see how strong is he just being on a strange at 9:00 at night until 10:30 at night. brian: that's going to be big. one of the big topics is amy coney barrett and she will start meeting with senate leaders as early as today. it's amazing how the democratic senators are staking their territory some by showing protests by holding heir breath or refusing to meet with her. here are the republicans, steve that have already said they plan to meet today. she does not have a what do they call it a sherpa to bring her around that's going to be quicker. might even be on zoom. mcconnell, graham, cruz, grassley and lee. senator rick scott, cory gardner, senator thune, and senator crapo will all be having ago chance to pete meet with

her. but they know her pretty much. steve: they were talking at the white house about having a particular person be a sherpa. did i hear the name. but ultimately they decided they would go with pat cipollone who helped the president defend himself during the senate trial. meanwhile, so the republicans are for the most part rating for her with open armies. democrats, given the strong arm. richard blumenthal of connecticut, hirono of hawaii, schumer, hurricaney merkley, se, senator jill grand. probably meet with her. then have you got to wonder whether or not the questioning by kamala harris would be super aggressive or super passive. people look at that to figure out where they are going. ted cruz knows exactly where this is going. he says it's going to circus town. watch. >> i fully expect the confirmation hearing to be a political circus.

i expect the democratic base demands that they do everything they can. i think we will see a cory booker spartacus moment. and we're already seeing them target judge barrett's young kids really des pick cable. kids should be off limits. on the merits she is a very strong choice and shawn i'm confident they are going to confirm her and do so by the end of the month. >> only two gop senators that might vote against her are women. susan collins and lisa murkowski. lisa murkowski has indicated she would at least be willing to meet with barrett. steve: why not? ainsley: they come out and said they were against the vote taking it before the election. brian: so wise thought to attack her personally if you are a democrat. attack her on the issues coming her way whether it's obamacare or whether it's her views on roe v. wade. when you attack her personally you galvanize people toward the right. when you start a question in

your high school yearbook just know we have gone off the rails. steve: you are absolutely right but we have seen that movie before. jillian: we are following a first alert now. three people have been killed as wildfires explode in california's wine country. look at this. governor gavin newsom declaring an emergency in several counties. mandatory evacuations now underway for thousands. >> warning fire evacuation in progress.

there's resources that can inform us, and that spark can make a difference. when we use it to improve things, then that change can last within us. when we understand what's possible, we won't settle for less. the best thing we can be is striving to be at our best. managing heart failure starts now with understanding. call today or go online to understandhf.com for a free hf handbook.

brian: back in june minneapolis city council members pledged to defund their police department. the movement seems to be sloozing steam the "new york times" reporting quote some council members would like a do-over. some activists said the pledge was to be working literally. a commitment to working toward complete police abolition. elected officials said there was widespread disagreement about its meaning. he is running for ilhan omar's seat. reached out to her she did not respond. we got a statement from another opponent michael moore said in part it was never reasonable, appropriate to think the city would remove effective live defund the place language was merely rhetoric. lacy, you are not surprised we are here right now with homicides up 87%.

>> i'm not surprised at all, brian. the hypocrisy and failure of leadership of our city council is just astounding. and, according to a recent update from the minneapolis police chief, we have seen a drastic rise in crime as we have seen a reduction in the number of policemen. and you can imagine no one here should want to take on the risk of being a policeman nowadays. there will always be a chance you will be caught on camera being seen unfriendly to a citizen and then you are looking at prosecution and jail time. so, a lot of that is based on that. now, the senate council, they have seen that this was not a proper idea. it does not set well with the community. so now they are trying to back away from it. but they have painted themselves into the corner with all this talk about defunding, demilitarizing and disarming the police. so they are getting that just reward. and the bottom line is it's not good for their re-election.

and they are finally repeal i seeing the stakes and ludicrous of the idea of defunding the police prescribe brian let's see if it catches steam. counselor one of the nine members supporting defunding the political science did i that in spirit. another council felipe cunningham the language pledge was up for interpretation. very clear most of us had interpreted that language differently. they are trying to suddenly walk back their sentiment because the average minneapolis resident is going to hell right now -- goinl right now. >> we all know what it means. you can't change the definition. it's a typical liberal democrat word game whenever they get in a situation where the public is rejecting their bad idea. i think, once again, it's just a failure of leadership on all levels from the governor to the mayor to the city council.

anywhere you look at liberal democrats in charge of these inner cities, you see the same craziness going on. brian: leas, help me out, rapidly, please. one of the topics in tonight's debate is race and violence in our cities. what's the message from somebody running for a seat to represent the city and who lives in the city that is going to be under scrutiny? >> well, i think, first of all, let's hold leadership accountable for the violence. once again from the mayor to the governors to the city council all across the country wherever you see this violence with black people you see that as far as race is concerned, i'm a black man, sitting here running for congress. i think america offers us opportunities if we take advantage of it. if we make good decisions. we work hard. we educate ourselves. i think we should. race should not be an issue on the table right now. brian: senator tim scott talk about law enforcement reform. things we can do to make things

better that seems to be yesterday's news. sadly. lacy lee johnson, best of luck, thanks for getting up early for us. >> thank you. brian: coming up straight ahead, president trump announcing 150 million rapid covid-19 tests. they will be dispersed nationwide. dr. nicole saphier says this is crucial to contain the virus. she joins us up next. first, before the debate kicks off, enter for a free chance to win 25,000 $ from our friends at fox bet super 6. download the fox bet super 6 app. and play the presidential debate game. it's going to be fun. pick six possible outcomes. then watch the debate on fox news on september 29th. today, to see how it all unfolds, download the fox bet super 6 app. to get started. now here is this commercial. ♪ - [narrator] the shark vacmop combines powerful suction

>> good morning, ainsley. ainsley: he says he wants to distribute this rapid test k through 12 schools. nursing homes. hospice care, colleges and universities. it sounds like a great idea. we all want the fastest so we don't have to wait days to find out the results. what do you think about the strategy? >> well, let me tell you why this is so important, ainsley. yesterday the president announced they will be distributing 150 million of these rapid point of care tests with 100 million of them earmarked for school-aged children. just yesterday, the cdc updated their numbers. their data on 277,000 school aged children with positive covid results showed a 1% hospitalization rate and a less than .1% fatality rate that is incredible news as we are trying to get our children back to school. but, with that. we need these rapid points of care testing because, as you know, school-aged children can transmit the virus to other people. if we can rapidly diagnose those children who are positive and isolate them, protecting the

vulnerable, their parents, their grandparents, their older children, their teachers, that is the way we will successfully keep our children in school which you know i believe in person education is crucial. so we have to be getting them back and these point of care tests is a way to do that. >> let's talk about the debate tonight six topics. we heard joe biden say before that he would listen to the scientists. he is not opposed to shutting down the country again if it gets bad again. what kinds of things are you going to be listening for? >> well, i think joe biden and president trump are really going to both be handling some very difficult questions. first of all, i can tell you what i do not want to hear out of joe biden. i do not want to hear how he says that he knew how to handle this pandemic. because, the rest of us were all scratching her heads, doctors, fauci, birx, myself, the world held organization. we had no idea with this virus. the flu pandemic that he dealt with under the obama, they had a flu pandemic preparedness plan.

we didn't have one for coronavirus. this was a novel virus that no one knew much about. so i don't want to hear what he would have done because it's much easier to retrospect tialy say what you would have done. i would have done things differently too. we didn't know that at the time. i want to hear moving forward what's going to be done. i can tell you a lot of people do look to president trump. what are we going to do? how are we going to get that economy back? because the mental health from having such a bad economy is detrimental. how are we going to keep our children in school make sure they get that development? president trump is going to be fielding some tough questions regarding healthcare. as you know, is he trying to keep his campaign pledge of repeal and lee place he was worked on repealing. the replacement has been much slower. jewels a few days ago in that airplane hanger we heard him discussing american first plan which had a lot of points to it. going to be very important for them to talk about the future, not the past. everything in retrospect is much easier to analyze. ainsley: all right, dr. saphier, thank you very much.

we will all be watching. >> thank you, ainsley. ainsley: still ahead, kamala harris says joe biden is ready for tonight's debate. >> i think joes know what is to do. i wouldn't dare tell him. he has been on that debate stage so many times. he is so good. is he so good. >> the trump's campaign corey lewandowski and david bossie are here to respond.

tonight is all eyes are on this debate in cleveland because this is, after the polls have been pretty tight off and on throughout this thing, this is the president's chance to shake things up. how is he going to do it? >> well, steve, look, this president has accomplished more in his first term than any president in modern history. we are going to see tonight a president who asked the american people to take a chance on him four years ago. is he going to remind him of all the promises he has made and delivered. i want to juxtapose that with joe biden who has been in washington, d.c. for almost five decades never solved a problem. and the american people are going to have to decide. do they want to continue to have lower taxes. the strongest military the world has ever seen and a great economy or do they want to go back to the days of the apology tours of joe biden and barack obama where they went around the world apologizing for being the greatest country in the world? there is a clear and presents difference between these two and the american people are going to pick donald trump.

ainsley: david, i want to hear what you are expecting tonight and i want to play this for you. kamala harris saying he is so good. he is so good. joe biden so good he has been on that stage. we saw them together on the stage. he didn't look so good when she blasted him and in the next debate he said go easy on me. watch this. >> here you talk about the reputation of two united states senators who built their reputation and career on the segregation of race in this country. you know, there was a little girl in california who was part of the second class to integrate her public school. and she was bus you had to school every day. and that little girl was me. >> that's a mischaracterization of my position across the board. did i not praise racists. i agree that everybody once they -- know, my time is up. i'm sorry. go easy on me kid. ainsley: david? >> it's remarkable footage. we just have to remember that

joe biden when he was in the united states senate spent a lot of time working with senators like john east land and senator byrd and talmadge. senator easton was called the voice of the white south. and that's who joe biden worked with every minute of every day is the chairman of the committee that he was on where he was talking about that very issue busing. that's what kamala harris was talking about. that's why she was complaining. she was saying that joe biden made a career of this. tonight, donald trump, president trump is going to talk about the differences between these two men and the future of america and what it looks like. that's whether it's higher taxes and open borders and more job killing regulations, whether it's bad trade deals, whether it's no more peace that this president has brought forward. whether it's anarchy in the streets and defunding the police. these are what ronald reagan called old colors not pale pastels. this is an election about big

issues. not small petty grievances that joe biden is on. brian: corey, it's easy for you to punt on this but just drill down on this. the president comes up to you an hour before and says corey, what should i avoid, all right, what should he avoid doing because i know that joe biden is supposed to not lose his temper and talk about the coronavirus and talk about the president's taxes. what should the president avoid doing? >> i don't think the president should avoid anything. remind the american people what we have achieved. brian: what about personal attacks? would you say go easy on the personal attacks. >> no, brian, no no, when you enter the arena. when you come into the greatest game in the world which is the world of presidential politics you have to be ready joe biden has a record of failure for five decades i think it's fair to go after him. look, i don't think hunter biden is off limits. if joe biden wants to allow his son to get rich based on his position and we have seen all the stories, that's fair game. the media hasn't covered it.

and if joe biden wants to attack donald trump, i believe hunter biden is fair game. steve: okay. speaking of media. david, i was going to say "the washington post" has come out and endorsed joe biden for president in order to expel the worst president of modern times and it goes on. listen, have you written a new book, you and corey, about this president. and it's called america first, the president succeeds against all odds. tell us a little bit about it. >> well, first of all "the washington post" is no surprise it the potomac would endorse joe biden. they did in 2016 with hillary clinton. our book trump america first really dives deep into his successes. his accomplishments and what he has done in the 4 will months of his presidency versus the 48 years of failure of joe biden. and what we try to do is give people a look inside, talking about the inside of the campaign. it's a fun read much like let

trump be trump. we are excited about it. thank you for having us on today to talk about it. ainsley: all right. corey, do you want to talk about it? brian: nope. >> in addition to us bringing you into the oval office and on air force one and behind the scenes at the rally there are great stories in there look, some of your listeners and viewers may remember i had to testify in front of congress and we talked about that. i almost got in a fist fight with the oval office then chief of staff john kelly it's in the book. we have great antidotes. if you want to see what goes on nut rough and tumble world of politics it's in the book. the book is about the successes of this president. it's dave and corey on the campaign trail before the coronavirus hit while the coronavirus hit. the successes of this put. and our stories being able to have the privilege to travel around with the greatest president, you know, we have ever had in our lifetime. also, those rough and tumble things. testifying in fronts of congress. who gets in a fight in the oval office but maybe me. [laughter] this is what i do. i fight for the president every

day and sometimes it almost comes to first a cuffs that story is in the book and a fun read. brian: we sigh how tight. 6 and 8 in pennsylvania. trailing by 1 or 2 in ohio. ten in wisconsin. do you believe he is further behind now than he was in 2016 than he is currently right now. what do you think? >> brian, he is in great shape. is he going to win this elections. without question. brian: better shape? >> we are in much better shape today than we were four years ago. let me just tell you the path to 270 is very clear to us. this president is going to win because of his accomplishments and what he does over the next 36 days, he is going to travel this country crisscross this country and show the country that he deserves re-election. look, nobody -- the people in this country don't hand the keys to the white house to just anybody. you don't just get it. you have to go and earn it. this president is working 24 hours a day, seven days a week

for the american people. they know it. whether they agree with him or disagree with him. he is the hardest working president we have ever seen. guys like corey and i who are pretty high energy, we have a hard time keeping up with him. steve: got a final question for you, corey, the amy coney barrett fight is going to capitol hill today. she is going to start meeting with senators and then it will be interesting to see how many democrat senators she actually meets with as well. how is this going to shake up the campaign in the final five weeks? >> well, steve, i really think it's important that we have a full complement of supreme court justices seated by election day in case we have an issue like we did just 20 years ago when bush v. gore went to the supreme court for disasmghts look, i believe she is one of the greatest legal minds of our generation. she has the credentials to serve on the court. and if the members of the u.s. senate want to attack her on her religion or for being a working mom and having seven school-aged children. then to me that's disgusting.

we should stop politicizing these nominations to the high court. we should look at them on their merits. she should have an up or down vote and election day if all possible. brian: people at home wondering have to make a choice between your book and steve's book. ainsley: i know. the nerve of y'all. >> i would have done anybody today. i would have said woodward give me trump but not doesy. anybody but doesy. i can't compete about the against the dooce. steve: you don't have any recipes in that do you? >> recipe for winning, steve. it's a new one. send it to you next time. steve: all right. >> my daughter lily wants a copy of your book. we are going to go out and get it today. brian: she can pay like everybody else. >> thank you, guys. steve: check out the book. today on this telecast. rudy has been helping trump prepare for tonight's debate. insight at the top of the hour.

nostalgia department in your brain. >> hi, steve. steve: how would you like to make a trip to new york city because you are one of the winners of our contest. >> no kidding? steve: fox and friends had a knifed contest to see your happy recipes and hear the stories behind them. >> this recipe brings back great recipes of my childhood and my mom. steve: the happy cookbook idea struck a cord with america in a big way. bookstore in georgia had so many people turn out they had to rent a gymnasium. >> this crowd is bigger than kilmeade's crowd. a lot of people we met along the way were fox fans, obviously. but so many others just wanted to meet cathy who had just revealed on tv that she had been diagnosed with a very rare aggressive form of eye cancer. >> it was hard to tell the story. because a lot of people didn't know while i was going through it. steve: one sleepless night during radiation cathy realized there was one thing she really

needed to start doing. >> i was worried that the treatment wasn't going to work. and i knew that the one thing that i had to do was to write the recipes down that the kids grew up with. the foods that they loved. steve: that's where the idea for the happy cookbooks came from. >> i was just very overwhelmed actually with emotion just hearing her story. >> i'm happy to say that today i'm cancer-free. i want to thank everyone for the good thoughts and prayers. steve: it means so much to our family. we would also like to thank a lot of you, who we method on the last book tour. >> so many people said i love to cook. i just don't have time anymore. steve: cathy said we should do a happy in a hurry cookbook and, ladies and gentlemen, here it is. 100 faster and easier new recipes with ingredients you probably have at your house right now. for foods you won't find anywhere else. like dana perino's grand paparazzi simple ranch salad. >> the thing about this salad dressing it's always on the

ranch and always makes you super happy. >> judge jeanine's mom easy lentil soup. >> a reminder of my childhood and the warmth i got from my mom. >> and bret baier's wife's amy art choke chicken casserole. >> we know it's winter time. warm, it's filling. it's goods for you. we love it. >> and of course there are more doocy family favorites. mary's meatless monday zooddle pie. sally's shrimp and peter's chicken parm meatballs made with bread crumbs and not oatmeal because we discovered early peter is not a fan of oatmeal. >> look, mary, peter is eating his cereal. >> how does it taste, peter? >> i don't like it. >> i didn't like it. in addition, there are hilarious and heart-warming family stories like the time i invited president reagan to our house for dinner. >> we were newlyweds. we only had two chairs and no curtains.

>> it worked out just fine. plus the exclusive story of you who peter doocy was discovered by a talent scout at our local grocery store. yep, it's true it. happened right there in the cheese aisle. >> it's all in our brand new cookbook that comes out today. steve: that's right. during the pandemic you probably run out of things to cook. this has a 100 brand new ideas that will have you happy in a hurry. steve: it finally comes out today. it was great to see peter doocy as 2 years old. he was not a big fan of oatmeal. obviously. ainsley: i love is he taking it out in the hand and very hand in his hair afterwards. steve: i didn't notice that. today the book is available wherever you buy books. amazon, target, get autographed copies of barnes & noble and books a million. walmart has a special edition with an exclusive tailgating chearpghtsd so pick up a copy today so you can be happy in a hurry. i know that everybody has run out of things to cook during the

pandemic because got great ideas. sean hannity's cheesy mac and cheese rolls are delicious. ainsley, your grandma my my's cornbread dress something delicious. and the kilmeade family and this is an heirloom because it's been handed down, their art choke pie is something people are going to wants to make every thanksgiving. brian: my awngts cathy provided that information. it's all accurate. i verified it. i went to the brain room. the other thing to keep in mind you can't tour like usual because of the pandemic. how can people have a chance to interact with you? are you going to be doing some events do you think and where can we find out about them? steve: we are actually going to be doing a virtual cook along. we are going to make church lady ranch dip online on friday. it's a virtual happy hour like we had last night and everybody is invited. really the best way this time is simply to be in the comfort of your own home and buy the book wherever you buy books and you

know, next time around we will come out and shake all those hands like we did last time. brian: get in a hazmat suit and go to barnes & noble. ainsley: make this book the number one cookbook in the world today and then can you cook something while you are watching the debate. brian: sounds good. all right. congratulations that was a great package. ainsley: that was. lots of pictures of his family. steve is such a family guy. how many pictures of you ntd, cathy and the three kids. you all do everything together and it's so inspiring. steve: thank you so much there are plenty of them. ainsley: 6:56. coming up rudy giuliani and newt gingrich. ♪ ♪ (♪ )

>> tonight is the night president trump and joe biden going head to head on top issues. >> this debate is going to look entirely different from start to finish. it will begin with no handshake and end with no spin room. >> a clear and present difference between these two. >> this is an elections about big issues not small petty grievances. brian: one of the topics will be amy coney barrett. democratic senators are staking their territory, holding their breath or refusing to meet with her. >> today i'm pleased to report that we are announcing our plan to district 1,250,000,000 rapid point of care tests. >> that is incredible news as we are trying to get our children back to school. >> today michael flynn back to

court to hear the latest arguments on dismissing his case. steve: today is the day we have all been waiting for that's right the happy in a hurry cookbook comes out finally on sale everywhere. so thank you very much. sena♪ i just can't get enough. ♪ ainsley: everyone is talking about it in this building the debate 13 hours and 58 minutes and 51 seconds away. cleveland, ohio tonight. the two are going to face each other for the very first time. steve: are you going to watch? ainsley: i will watch. steve: love boat reunion on one of the other channels. brian: i can't wait to see what happened to the bartender. who is the bartender again? do you remember? isaac. trump and biden record is going to be one of the things supreme court, covid-19, economy, race and violence. steve: plenty to talk about. griff jenkins is actually live on the campus of the cleveland

clinic where the event is going to take place tonight it's in cleveland because notre dame said a couple months ago the coronavirus not going to allow it to do it. so they move to cleveland and there he is. >> that's right. >> steve, ainsley brian we are 35 days out. if you have plans tonight cancel them this may be one of the most pivotal moments in the election. it's going to loo unlike any hae you ever seen start to finish. who hand shake elbow bump. no spin room. limited audience. as you mentioned, brian, the topics from the economy to the supreme court to the coronavirus. the president use the bully pulpit of the rose garden to get ahead of anticipated criticism making a big announcement. listen. >> today i'm please to report that we are announcing our plan to distribute 150 million abbott rapid point of care tests in the coming weeks. 50 million tests will to protect the most vulnerable communities.

griff: not on the list and likely to come up the president's taxes, biden's campaign running ads over the "new york times" piece that the president only paid $750 in 2016 and '17. biden was officially off the trail yesterday but his running mate hit it hard. listen. >> the first thing i said i said did you say $750.00? [laughter] truly shocking. but, it's so unfair. >> talk about ad spending here in ohio a battle ground state president trump has spent 3.4 million since may 26th according to the "wall street journal." that's compared to biden's 1.3 million. now, when you look at the polls, the latest fox news poll, trump won the state in 2016 by 7. he trails biden by 5. now, and guys while covid has brought some changes so too has the concern for civil unrest we have seen across the country. there is some anticipated

protest here. and you see not only is the debate need to be protected but the cleveland clinic, the nation's premier medical facility behind me, the national guard has been brought out to be on stand by as well. they are ready for anything that may come. one thing is for sure. we are going to see a lot of fiery exchanges tonight and talk about it tomorrow. ainsley: i hear some of the businesses are boarding up preparing for the rioting. thank you for this report. let's bring in rudy giuliani. president trump's attorney and former new york city mayor and host of rudy giuliani's common sense podcast. good morning to you. >> hi. how are you doing, ainsley. ainsley: doing well. thank you. the president revealed that you and chris christie were prepping him for the debate. what types of advice did you give him. >> i can't tell you the details it's confidential. it's obvious. the president has a great record. it was interrupted by the pandemic but it's already -- is he bringing the country back. already he is way ahead of what anybody predicted. so i think one of the themes he is going to want to really hit

hard is you can't make a change in the middle of a recovery like this. i mean, we are roaring back and some areas we are three quarters of the way back. other others halfway back. all the signs are that we're going to keep moving forward with the economy. we have some states that are deliberately closed down, the democratic states. i have no doubt they are keeping kids out of school to try to slow things down. i have no doubt that their not reopening new york the way they should for political reasons. there is no reason to keep it closed anymore. with that we have had record job growth in each of the last three or four months. we have got an unemployment rate that's high but it's not recession-like unemployment rate. it's between 8% and 9%. when i became mayor of new york unemployment rate was 10.5%. he has really brought it back. you don't want to change to a left wing philosophy now. this is the worst time to raise taxes. i mean, people have no money. he will crash the economy. if he does anything like -- if he does half of what is he talking about, he will crash the

economy. and i think if you just look at him and listen to him, you realize that he has never been smart enough to be president. ever. he was the dumbest man in his grammar school class. he was left back in the third 3d grade. he cheated to get through law school. the guy plagiarized when he was 21 years old. i get really offended when they say joe is a really nice guy. joe is a really big phoney. pledge rised neil kinnick's life. his family has made obscene amount of money overseas. i would like to know why the mayor of moscow's wife, a good friend of putin's paid him 3.5 million. why? we have no answer for that the president doesn't ask. why was any business with the chinese communist party? brian: you are talking about his son? >> yeah. i got the document. he was in business with him. the vice president of the united states was theoretically

negotiating with america son signing up for partnership with the bank of china owned by china and they concealed that to us. brian: that's very similar so clinically you are a political veteran. you go to prepare the president to debate what's the difference how you prepare the president for biden as opposed to hillary clinton? >> well, first of all, there is a difference between debating a man and a woman. i think biden is a nasty enough guy that you don't have to worry about, you know. being could careful with him. he said terrible things about the president. so the president has every right to take his head off if he wants. i think this is a great opportunity for the president to really just be himself. he doesn't have to hold back very much. he doesn't have to hold back at all really. he is very well-prepared. is he much better prepared now than he was four years ago just by the mere fact that he has

probably had a debate every day. i don't think any president has answered more questions than this president i don't have any doubt about that. nobody has had near the press conferences he has. steve: well, rude. >> almost every day. is he almost like the mayor of new york. mayor coach or mayor giuliani. he had a press conference every day. steve: he does indeed appear before the cameras a lot. joe biden does not. nevertheless, you know, 24 hours from now, rudy, mainstream media is going to be talking about how joe biden was the big winner just like they did with hillary four years ago. why is that? >> they did blackouts. steve: rudy, hold on a second. watch this. >> the contrast unmistakable. hillary clinton's planned attack against donald trump's freewheeling jabs. >> i they she came across more presidential. >> she interjected and interrupted clinton. settled into a pattern like he was heckling his own debate. >> some of the headlines donald trump fell for hillary clinton's trap. donald trump took the bait. >> 62% of viewers thought clinton won the debate.

>> one of these candidates came out prepared from start to finish and as clinton has in most of these debates. >> he had the worst performance of any presidential candidate ever in the history of televised debates. steve: so, rudy, the producers told us that you were laughing through that entire thing. did president trump set the bar too low talking about how joe has lost doesn't know where he is got to have a drug test. because if joe biden shows up tonight and just does okay, but doesn't fall asleep or lay down in the middle of the room in a fetal position, people are going to say he is a winner compared to the way the president had said he was going to be. >> if he falls down they will say he did it on purpose to get him off his stride. it was very, very smart. if he blanks out they will say that will be very effective against putin. putin won't know what to say to them if he has a blankout. look, he is going to win the debate by the crooked media. no doubt about it.

but, i'm not going to judge it by that they may have said clinton won those debates but she lost the election. and i knew she lost every one of those debates. the american people, a lot of american people are watching. this and now they are going to get their real, real focused attention on the two men. they are going to make up their own minds. they can he spin it any way they want. look, did he set the bar too low in the president is honest. he tells you -- he is the first president we have had in a long time tells you what he thinks. probably if he were spinning it more he would say oh joe is going to be terrific. joe is going to be great. brian: he has said that. >> before he was also saying the obvious. look, the man has dementia. there is no doubt about it. i have talked to doctors. i have them look at 100 different taping of his. five years ago and today. steve: the biden people say he is fine. >> what? he can't recite the pledge of allegiance and he is fine? he -- he was in the senate for 160 years?

i mean, he can't do the prologues to the constitution of the united states or the declaration of independence, any of them? he can't do numbers. wow are the numbers screwed up? he actually displays symptoms that too jarron toll justs told me are classic symptoms of mid level dementia that's when he does that i pledge of allegiance to the united states -- i think. done that twice. look. that is the debate. can he get through it. i think the president is quite right to say maybe he is taking adderall or some kind of a attention deficit scored thing. steve: that's why the president wants to take the drug test. that's just your opinion. it will be interesting to see what happens tonight. >> no, no. it's just not my opinion. it's the number of a number of

doctors i have actually interviewed. ainsley: talk about the supreme court. that's going to be a topic at the debate. what do we expect from both sides there? >> i think he is going to attack her on the affordable care act. he has no idea if she is going to reverse the affordable care act or not. it's so ridiculous to attack her on it. she criticized roberts' opinion. she didn't credited size his conclusion. she criticized the way in which he changed the meaning of the word fine and made a -- said fine he made taxes therefore it was permissible. you could actually have found it constitutional based on the word taxes. several of the justices did. so joe would never understand that subtle at this. to so maybe the president can point out that everything he said has no idea what she is going to do. i would not really go very hard after her, boy. i mean she is one better stay

away from her religion. the "times" has been going after it big time. catholicism and -- conflict how about that catholicism and -- that's the ethos of america? on the 90th floor of the "new york times." brian: pretty clear democrats would lose on that. they want to get on the first two things you said clearly if they are on their game. let's talk about what's happened over the last two games. "new york times" explosive stories. 10,000 words yesterday, more today about the president's taxes financial background over the last 20-plus years. the president didn't go back in general says inaccurate or fake news there is a lot of stuff back there that is fact. in there. but we don't see all the forms because the president hasn't released them. so one by one you know this is the access hollywood tape from 2016. this is their version of it in

2020. so, whether a do you think about mayor de blasio saying they are going to do an investigation. what do you think about the attorney general saying they are going to do an investigation and what do you think about the role tonight? >> whole bunch of questions there the first thing is the best answer to the taxes is he has been -- 20 years of taxes. the irs has combed over these taxes with a fine tooth comb. we can tell that they audit him i think just about every year. he has never been referred for civil or criminal action. ever. when they were looking at it dispassionately not with the prejudice and bias and cherry picking of the "new york times," who are insane on the subject of donald trump, the irs, who are the professionals and not particularly his friends. did i tax evasion cases, the irs goes through these. if they find something wrong, they refer it to civil at one level or criminal investigation. they do that all the time. and they were focused on him like a laser beam and they never did it. so, you know, should have to

explain all the complexities in a businessman's tax return at the level he was at, they are going to be things that people just don't understand. i don't even understand it andy tax work sometimes. the simple fact that people should remember is, the fair observers of this, the people who could have said he did something wrong in the sense of, you know, illegal, could he have made a mistake? sure. probably not. he had great tax lawyers. he has never been referred, ever, for a civil or criminal even investigation much less charge. this is garbage. this is going back 20 years ago. didn't get prosecuted for anything and now you are saying he did something wrong. it would be one thing if the irs ignored these returns. the irs has done with through these returns and understands it way better than the prejudiced "new york times." and then i would say how come you are not examining the 3.5 million that his son got from one of the closest people to putin?

how come you are not examining the 3 high level members of the chinese communist party who is business partners one of whom recruited intelligence sources for the chinese communist government. don't you think that china was giving him that money because he was a source? brian: and that's how the president could come back. mr. mayor, we are out of time. >> okay. brian: but thanks so much. that's how he is going to play it out i got it. thank you, mr. mayor. i appreciate it. steve: all right. brian, you are absolutely right. there will be a lot of questions about that tonight and it will be interesting to see how both of them answer. in the meantime, coming up, at least six democratic senators say they will not meet with judge amy coney barrett. republican senate judiciary committee member thom tillis calls that disgraceful and you will hear him say that next. ♪ it's time for sleep number's fall sale on the new sleep number 360 smart bed...

>> i have no intention of meeting with judge barrett because i simply refuse to treat this process as really legitimate. >> i will not be meeting with her. i will take the opportunity to question her when she is under oath. >> the whole process has been illegitimate. i will not meet with her. steve: there is a number of democratic senators refusing to meet with supreme court nominee amy coney barrett. so what can we expect as the senate battle over her confirmation heats up. senate judiciary committee member north carolina senator thom tillis joins us from north carolina. good morning, senator. >> good morning, steve. steve: what does that say to you that they are so political this that they won't even sit down and to her forefive minutes. >> honestly steve, i think it's

because they are going to make a circus when they get into the committee. and if they met with judge barrett for an hour think would find it very difficult to go after her the way i think they are going. to say this is an extraordinary mother of first justice cool age kids. great work as a jurist. number of people across the ideological spectrum who support or clerked with her. they want to meet with her. if they knew her before hand it would be more difficult to pull off the theater i expect to see october the 12th. steve: you know what the democrats are doing say going she is confirmed she will pretty much single-handedly kill off the affordable care act and roe v. wade. >> right. and i think that's just another political stunt that the democrats really what the democrats want to do is distract the discussion away from who would joe biden put forth? i would like everybody to go out

to joe biden judges.com. we have done the homework. we knew who are on some of obama and biden's short list go to judges.com and go over what joe biden would put forward and he refuses to plush a list. steve: he won't plush a list and neither he or kamala harris would talk about whether or not they would pack the courts which the majority of americans say we like the number 9. we don't want to see 17. >> steve, aoc and chuck schumer were on stage last week saying they wanted to do just that and i think my opponent call cunningham go up and vote for the nuclear option on the legislative filibuster and expand the supreme court by as many as four. then those judges on joe biden's judges.com are even more likely to get up there and pack the court with liberal activist judges. nothing more than legislators in robes. what chuck schumer is trying to do is create a third chamber for the u.s. congress is so can he legislate from the bench. steve: senator, you just

mentioned your opponent kal cunningham. we did invite him on the program. we have not heard back from him. how will this confirmation of amy coney barrett impact your race there in north carolina? >> well, i think a lot of people like judge barrett. they like the conservative judges. i think this is going to motivate people in north carolina to go to the polls, particular live if they go out and see what the alternative is. i really encourage everybody to go out to joe biden's judges.com and see what is in store for us if cal cunningham wins he will be a rubber stamp for chuck schumer. they will expand the supreme court. then they will take this country in a direction it's never gone before. steve: all right. thom tillis, sitting member of the senate judiciary committee joining us from charlotte today. sir, thank you very much. >> thank you, steve. have a great week. steve: you as well. still ahead on our telecast. kenosha, wisconsin was rocked by violent riots after the shooting. now endorsing president trump because he was there when the

city needed him. that sheriff is going to join us live coming up next. plus, eric trump will be here very shortly on this tuesday fox and friends. ♪ ♪ ♪ people everywhere living with type 2 diabetes

days until the election, the kenosha county sheriff is endorsing president trump in a brand new op-ed saying the president was there when the city needed him. joining me now is kenosha county sheriff david beth. sheriff, right now, the biden supporters are saying hey the former vice president showed up, too. what's the difference? >> well, the difference is trump, when we made a phone call tour congressman brian style we asked for i had help that the president and the federal government could give. and the relay came back that whatever help you need, you got it. and within the next 24 hours, a lot of federal resources came and within 48 hours the president himself came and stood in the area that was damaged. he met with the people here of damaged businesses and he came and talked to the chief of police and myself and did a round table. there was a huge difference in the two candidates running for president here in kenosha.

brian: joe biden went totten of visited the family of jacob blake did not visit with you guys. >> i was not invited to meet with joe biden. trump did. trump right away got a phone call out to us and said we want to meet. we want to see what else you need. and what other resources can we help you with there in kenosha. and we are extremely grateful for what he put out to kenosha. brian: did it play a role about 13 members of joe biden's team the up money to bail out reuters jailed foout roirgtsrioters.>> . we had a lot of peaceful protests that were done before and after. most people did not get arrested. we had people outside of kenosha come here. agitators come here and actually burn and loot and did damage

between the view of many in the african-american community and law enforcement and law enforcement of the african-american community. you want to see that addressed. >> absolutely. for years, i taught the dare program in schools. and i saw how the edger city schools, how those kids struggled with law enforcement. actually me being there or other deputies law enforcement being in their classrooms and in their schools. i want to make that better. i want to make that connection more. i want to get it to the point that the 12-year-old student that i was teaching doesn't believe he is going to prison like the rest of his family did. i want to see how we can make as a country these kids that are in grade school believe they are going to succeed in life and not that they are in trouble for a few years down the road. brian: that's heartening both sides identify the problem and we can fix it. there you go, sheriff, you will be endorsing the president and op-ed proves it. david beth thanks for joining us today and expanding on it?

ainsley: how is your dad doing? is he nervous. >> the guy is a inspiration to me, ainsley. i was speaking to him this morning about an hour ago. he called me at 6:15. we were chatting for a little while. he is an inspiration. he is the energizer bunny. he does that early in the morning and late at night. he will do a phenomenal job tonight. he has a great record to tout. what he has done over the last four years i don't think anybody in political history has ever accomplished more than my father has despite the constant head winds. despite the constant battery and nonsense and attacks and slander and everything else they do to him every day. i have never been more proud of the guy in my life honestly. total inspiration to me as a son. brian: i want to get into what must be a burden to the family obviously the story that broke on sunday with the tax returns and then today more stuff on what the president and the apprentice and things to that degree. first off, your assessment on the column that the story that popped up in the "new york times." you said 16,000 words. all about the last 20 years of

the trump organization. you are vice president of and the policy. >> sure. brian: were there inaccuracies? >> oh, there was a tonget first of all, my father pay as fortune in taxes. let's get that straight. does anyone really believe. i prohibited that article out, right, brian, i printed that article out that article was 35 pages long. does anybody really believe that susan craig wrote that article on friday afternoon? no. they have been writing that article for three months and they wanted to drop it the morning before the debate. these are disgusting people. second of all, why is no one talking about, you know, the irs? the irs, somebody at the irs leaked a document. i really believe this is the irs scandal, you know, of this generation. we saw it happen under the obama years. you saw what happened in 2013 and 2014 when the irs was targeting conservative groups. now they are targeting my father because is he doing a great job and they don't like him. you better believe, guys. i'm sorry for being so passionate about this. buff you better believe that every single day between now and elections they will have another

quote unquote october surprise. first it was the atlantic story and bob woodward book. and now it's the "new york times" nonsense. and they try and discredit my father. first of all, we have a great company. we are one of the lowest debt real estate companies. we have the best assets in the world. the fact that they try and discredit what this man has built before politics is incredible. i mean, any person in the world would envy to be in donald trump's shoes. he truly is the american dream. not only a great business guy he went on to win the presidency. they want to take him down three weeks before the election. guys, they are disgusting. somebody better look into the irs. steve: that's interesting. you know, ever since the pandemic, every day, i go for a walk with my friend tony. is he a big business guy. and he read the entire article and he said this essentially what this is this is about tax avoidance. he said every business in america tries to pay as little tax as possible. and his observation was the way i read it, i didn't read where

there were any laws broken. you know, it's all about depreciation and tax credits, things like that, things that business does every day. that was his assessment. >> steve. they even said the same thing in the article, frankly. listen, my father has invest you had billions of dollars. i mean, tens of billions of dollars in this country. he has built the biggest buildings. we employ tens of thousands of people. compare that to joe biden. joe biden has been leaching off of the federal government his entire adult life. the guy has never had a real job that hasn't been taxpayer funded ever. joe biden has created one job. do you know what that was? hunter biden made an absolute fortune. this guy never created a job. he never built buildings. he never employed thousands of construction people and service people and people to work in restaurants and hotels and i mean the amount of real estate taxes my father pays. the amount of payroll taxes. you know, i mean and the amount of taxes we pay as a company. you know, guess what if you put

$200 million into a project have you things like depreciation and tax credits and other things. that's party of investing billions and billions of dollars in a nation. it's one of those that the "new york times," you know, just wants to totally ignore. but, listen, we have an incredible company. we have the best assets in the world. we are so under levered and i couldn't be more proud of what he built. i couldn't be more proud of what i'm now running. again, these attacks against my father in the final stretches and how coordinated they are and the fact that joe biden had a commercial ready to go on that story talking about $750. one hour after the article came out. that tells you everything you need to know. these guys are carrying joe biden's water. you know what they are not going to be able to do it tonight. they will not be able to do it during the debate two. men on that stage and looking each other in the eyes. and, you know, the media is not going to be able to help him them. that i can tell you. ainsley: there is an op-ed in the "new york times." her name is chris. she doesn't want to give her

last name because she says her colleagues at work it wouldn't go well with them. she lives in manhattan. steve: secret trump voter. ainsley: that's right. she is gay. she said her 401(k) went up with your dad 19.6%. gas prices better than they were under obama. she goes on to say that obamacare was $560 a month for her. and she had lost her job so she was priced out. she talks about crime in the neighborhood. she talks about bill de blasio and how he is i object h inept. the rush trump clinton's prints all over it. she calls joe biden weak. she doesn't want to use her last name there are a lot of people that might be voting for your dad that aren't admitting it. and. brian: it was bret stephens who has been a critic of your dad who wrote the editorial. ainsley: are you counting on this person on the secret voter? >> ainsley, that person is there. i am telling i see it every day. the lgbtq community written credible. can you see how they have come out full force for my father

every single day. i'm part of the community and thank you for protecting our neighborhoods and our cities. the african-american vote. i'm telling you guys, i have seen something absolutely incredible. i'm out there on the campaign trail every single day and something incredible happening. latino vote. countries that, you know, traditionally didn't come out for, i'm telling you, the way they are coming out to support my father is unbelievable. guys, i'm seeing it across the board. people want security. they want a great economy. they want law and order. and they can't stabbed what the democratic party stands for right now. this is a socialistic party. they are crazy. they want to raise taxes by $4 trillion. they want to defund law enforcement. they want to symptom building the wall. they want to take away faith and christianity. ainsley, i know how important that is to you. there is a total assault on god in this country and people are sick and tired of that. people are sick and tired of lawlessness and antifa. sick and tired of a guy who literally has been in office for 47 years and never accomplished

a single thing, coming and saying all the great things he is going to do. where has this guy been? where has he been? honestly that's why people are moving over to us in record numbers, guys. i see it every single day. brian: all right. >> we have more passion right now. brian, we have more passion right now than we did in 2016 by miles. it's a beautiful thing to see and i'm proud of my father. brian: all right. we are going to see tonight who gets momentum coming out of this mick mulvaney former chief of staff says this will be the only debate he is pretty sure of it. eric trump, thank you so much. >> thanks. ainsley: thank you. brian: jillian what's happening. jillian: three people killed as wildfires explode in wine country. look at these images. gavin newsom declaring emergency in several counties. mandatory evacuations now underway for thousands. [siren] warning, fire evacuation in progress. [siren] jillian: the zog fire has burned more than 30,000 acres in two

days. the glass fire doubling in size to 36,000 acres. it burned one eri acre every fie seconds. new report revealing major u.s. cities have sown a rise in homicides and assaults. homicide rates between june and august saw 53% jump compared to the year before in cities including philadelphia, atlanta and chicago. ago great vacated assaults up 14%. other crimes saw significant decreases, drug offenses alone dropped 41%, according to the national commission on covid-19 and criminal justice. a cyber attack is forcing one of the nation's largest hospital systems offline. universal health services reportedly hit by ran some ware this weekend. redirecting ambulances and canceling surgeries. the company says patient data doesn't appear to have been access you had. meantime a 911 system outdamage affected police departments nationwide. agencies in minnesota, arizona, pennsylvania, delaware and

>> what would you say to him tomorrow night in terms of you who to deal with the biggest fog machine there has ever existed on a debate stage, donald trump? >> >> i think joe know was to do.

i wouldn't dare tell him. he has been on that debate stage some times. he's so good. he's so good. and, i think joe -- what joe is going to do is what joe always does. is he going to speak directly to the american people, understanding what their needs are he is going to talk about facts. and he's going to talk about solutions. steve: so there have you got vice presidential candidate kamala harris talking about the biggest fog machine ever, donald trump. and what a great, great, great debater joe biden is that is so interesting because do you remember when kamala harris and joe biden were debating each other on the same stage? it didn't go so well. and i think we have a soundbite to show just that. >> to hear you talk about the reputation of two united states senators who built their reputations and career on the

segregation of race in this country. you know, there was a little girl in california who was part of the second class to integrate public schools. and she was bused to school every day. and that little girl was me. >> that's a mischaracterization of my position across the board. i did not praise racists. i agreed that everybody once they -- i know, my time is up. i'm sorry. >> go easy on me kid. steve steve so there you have got for such great debater, he was knocked off his guard by kamala harris. and you know, ainsley and brian, that is what trump is going to try to do tonight. ainsley: i love he gets ready tone a you know what? my time is up. steve: got to go. ainsley: here is corey lewandowski who joined you are show earlier today and is he talking about the biden harris agenda. >> we will see tonight a president who asked th the amern people to took a chance on him four years ago he will remind them of all the promises they made and kept.

juxtapose that with joe biden been in washington, d.c. five decades and never solved a problem. the american people are going to have to decide do they want to continue to have lower taxes strongest military the world has ever seen and a great economy or do they want to go back to the days of the apology tours of joe biden and barack obama where they went around the world apologizing for being the greatest country in the world? there is a clear and present difference between these two, and the american people are going to pick donald trump. brian: right. one thing people should keep in mind if you remember the debates seems like 12 years ago joe biden never did well. times when he got through it because he wasn't the focus because not many people thought he had a shot to win. now he 8 be the focus. straight ahead big hour. bret baier, liz cheney and lawrence jones. and i still have three seconds. i will focus on brett. he looks good. ♪ ♪ the men and woman of the united states postal service. we are here to deliver your cards, packages and prescriptions.

grateful for what he put out for the president. >> this president appears to have over $400 million in d >> joe biden had a commercial one hour after the article came out that tells you everything that you need to know. these guys are carrying joe biden. >> [announcing] >> ♪ ♪ brian: monday night football last night you'd think there were a lot of fans there but there weren't, so the kansas city chiefs were prevailing and there will be fans tonight at the debate 80-100 audience members will be there and i'm sure in the beginning they will be ale to clap and told to keep quiet but they will at least have an atmosphere of something we don't see much anymore, crowds. steve: yeah. brian: it'll be interesting there will be no handshake, no opening statement, no closing statements but it's going to be, i think it's going to be one of the biggest challenges chris

wallace will have in his career is to keep it somewhat civil and organized, because after a while they are just looking at each other going at it. steve: right and he will and there you've got brett and martha they are going to kickoff the coverage tonight 6:00 p.m. eastern time. a monmouth poll came out and i find it hard to believe, they say of likely voters only 3% say the debate very likely will determine their vote. 87% say not likely. see , i think if some crazy thing happens, and we've seen these debates something crazy could happen, i think that's going to change the mind. don't know how many. brian: i agree, tie goes to biden. ainsley: they're in cleveland. steve: not necessarily. ainsley: ohio is very important, ohio correctly voted for every president since 1960. will that trend continue is the question. griff jenkins is live in cleveland as we count down to the debate just a few hours away we've been talking about it for months hey griff. griff: hey ainsley, brian and

steve and steve i think it's probably likely something will happen that we didn't see coming and everyone will be talking about it tomorrow in the preparations you were talking about earlier, brian the commissioner on presidential debates the senior advisor talked to me about that audience dating to 100 they are trying to figure out how they can do it safely. one of the many challenges in this debate is going to look very different no handshake, and the topics we know about of course the economy and the supreme court and the coronavirus, the president's handling of it he was getting ahead of it yesterday using the rose garden to make a big announcement about testing. listen. president trump: today i'm pleased to report that we're announcing our plan to distribute 150 million abbott rapid point-of-care tests in the coming weeks. 50 million tests will go to protect the most vulnerable communities. griff: not on the official likely list of topics but likely to am could up the president's taxes and the president only paid $750, and biden was off the

trail yesterday, but his runningmate, kamala harris hit it hard. watch. >> like i said, i said did you say 750 .00? truly shocking [laughter] but it's so unfair. griff: now ainsley you talked about ohio politics let's talk about ad spending president trump spent 3.4 million in ads in ohio since may 26 according to the wall street journal compared to biden's 1.3 million much less, now if you look at the polls the latest fox news poll, trump won this state in 2016 by seven but he trails biden by five right now we'll have to find out and while covid has been the biggest challenge another challenge is the riots, the violence, the civil unrest we've seen across the country and the law enforcement officials here from the local cleveland police to the national guard are taking no chances. this is a very secure area right now. i was trying to get through the mags, the chain link

perimeter is surrounded entirely so it's secure for not only the debate but also for the cleveland clinic, a concern of there's, we'll have to see what tonight brings, brian, ainsley, steve? brian: great roundup, appreciate it griff jenkins okay hey let's bring in bret baier author of you know, he's -- steve: he's mr. 6:00 p.m. brian: he's also got his book out on paperback for the first time, and three days after fdr's daring gamble to win world war ii. those are the good old days when we had clear winners and clear losers, brett. what about tonight? do you think this is a debate the president has to win? >> i don't think it's a debate he has to win but it's the biggest moment, good morning , by the way, for this election to change the trajectory. we haven't seen these polls move that much. they've tightened in these battleground states but the biden campaign has tried to make this a referendum on donald trump and specifically, a

referendum on donald trump and the coronavirus. tonight is really about joe biden. it's about which joe biden shows up. is it the joe biden who debated paul ryan on vice presidential debate stage? is it the joe biden who debated sarah palin? or is it the joe biden that we've seen in some of these appearances in recent months that had people scratching their heads? i think that that is what this night is about and at 90 minutes it's a challenge to handle chris wallace for 90 minutes. steve: no kidding. of course everybody is going to be watching to see if they go off the rails at some point and we know that donald trump is going to try to provoke joe biden, because we've even heard from the biden people they are trying to keep him calm. one of the people that knows the preparation the president has had, chris christie, he's busy today we couldn't book him but we did book rudy and here is some of his advice for the president tonight.

listen. >> i think this is a great opportunity for the president to really just be himself. he doesn't have to hold back very much. he doesn't have to hold back at all really and he's very well- prepared. he's much better prepared now than he was four years ago just by the mere fact he's probably had a debate every day. i don't think any president has answered more questions than this president. steve: well there you go, and brett, i was talking to one of your fox news correspondents who used to live upstairs in my house and apparently, later today, he's going to be reporting that the hard ball negotiations are still happening , behind the scenes between the two campaigns. >> yeah, so, there's a lot that's on the line here, and i don't think donald trump, you're right, is going to feel uncomfortable in the moment. he does face tough questions every day, and guiliani is right he has answered more questions than any president in recent history, and the question is can he be focused and pointed and

that's what he's working on with guiliani and christy. we don't have a real look beyond the scenes at the biden preparations other than some reporting that it's very detailed and a lot of back and forth but he has not taken a lot of tough questions from the media as you know. ainsley: let's talk about the supreme court. amy coney barrett is going to meet with nine republican senators all men and then there's democratic senators six of them refusing to meet with her. how does this work and do you think she cares if the democrats won't meet with her? >> i'm sure she cares. i think that this process is going to be a tough one. i think it's fascinating that kamala harris is on the 7th judiciary committee and asked whether she's going to meet with her or not and essentially said i haven't made the decision yet. well, that's a big decision, and it's a supreme court nominee and this process is moving forward. ainsley: brett let me interrupt you because we do have the sound

bite and we'll get your reaction here it is. i'm sure that's going to happen. we'll see how everything works out. i haven't made a plan one way or the other but i'm going to be, i am definitely going to be involved in the hearings and performing my role and responsibility on the senate judiciary committee. >> do you have a message to judge barrett specifically? >> i have a message to the american people which is theres a lot on the line not only our fact that the democracy would dictate 36 days before the election when people are actually voting right now that the president, the new president , be in a position of being able to nominate who be the next lifetime appointment to the united states supreme court. ainsley: brett some are calling her to recuse herself from the hearing since she is the vice presidential candidate. >> yeah, i don't think that's going to happen but i also don't think that she's really made a decision. it sounds like she may meet with her, may not. she's also asked a couple of

specific questions that joe biden hasn't answered either. are you for expanding the number of justices on the court? they won't answer that question. are you for killing the filibuster in the senate? they won't answer that question. so, facing questions is part of the job, and it'll be interesting to see if they get pressed by the media. brian: that was very differential of you they have not answered questions to anyone , she's given maybe a handful of interviews since she got the job as vice presidential nominee but brett the word is that 87-year-old senator dianne feinstein, among democrats the word is she might not be up to the challenge here. how real is that in buzz on the left and what would that mean? >> well i think no one is up to the challenge on the left because they don't have any real amo to go against this nomination. they know that the numbers are against them, so, what can they do? they can delay for a few hours, maybe a day or so but for the most part this is in the cards if something dramatic

doesn't happen in that hearing. steve: brett as you know my wife kathy and i are brand new, the happy in a hurry cookbook is coming out today. >> congratulations. steve: thank you very much all about food to make people happy and you and your wife amy and we tell this story in the cookbook, you two met on a blind date and -- >> we did. steve: that recipe right there, amy's artichoke chicken casserole is one of your happy foods that's actually her mother 's recipe, barbie hill. >> it is. steve: why does that casserole make you happy? >> well listen. when she cooks it and she doesn't cook that often but when she does, that is a staple. steve: you're never home. >> it makes us feel warm and homey and it's good. it's healthy. she's a healthy person, so, i need to eat more healthy things. brian: the thing is brett don't blame your wife. you work at 6:00. that's prime dinner time. you could have got an earlier show. swap with dana perino, be home

more. >> [laughter] we're honored to be a part of the cookbook, and you're going to love this recipe, but amy hill's does make it i promise. steve: later on in the week we're going to see amy actually in your kitchen, preparing it so that's coming up later this week ainsley: brett we're so excited for tonight too you're going to do a great job we'll all be watching. >> it's going to be amazing and chris is going to be something to watch. steve: as you kill the time until that time pick up his paperback version of three days at the brink. brett thank you very much for joining us live. >> thanks guys. ainsley: thank you. all right, jillian we're watching the debate chris wallace is the moderator at 9:00 jillian: someone who doesn't have a recipe in the cookbook because she doesn't cook at all. >> [laughter] jillian: good morning. let's start off with this story though. kentucky's attorney general will release grand jury reportings in the be an a taylor case tomorrow

comes after one of the jurors sued to make it public. louisville has seen days of protests after no officers were directly charged in taylor's death back in march. the former detective was charged with endangerment for shooting into nearby apartments and he pleads not guilty at his arraignment yesterday. >> negotiations set to resume this morning on a new coronavirus relief package. house speaker nancy pelosi and treasury secretary steven mnuchin agreeing to more talks after speaking on the phone. it comes as house democrats unveil a separate $2.2 trillion plan and includes another $1,200 stimulus check more money for the paycheck protection program, and restoring the $600 per-week unemployment benefits that expired this summer. >> today georgia is holding a special election to fill the late john lewis' vacant house seat. lewis died in july after battl ing pancreatic cancer. five democrats, a libertarian and an independent facing off to finish the rest of his term. if no one wins a majority, a run

-off will be held december 1 however a separate election in november will determine who will take over lewis' seat for a full term, starting in january. >> well, it was the patrick maho ne show on monday night football. the chiefs quarterback dominat ing the baltimore ravens with five touchdowns and while mahone stole the show his mom was not happy with comentator lewis riddick. >> a good good rusher and he brushes it off and is able to get the ball out of his hands. jillian: so she tweeted "if this a u.s. naval knower doesn't stop calling my son pat, i may scream! " riddick owned up to his mistake. >> guilty guilty guilty. i apologize. jillian: patrick and the chiefs won 34-20. it's funny you guys know people call me jill but my mom always says if i wanted to name you jill i would have named you jill at birth. steve: my mom when she called me steven, i be in trouble.

jillian: really? ainsley: i do love the name patrick. full name patrick. steve: just don't call him pat. brian: exactly. thanks jillian meanwhile still ahead a behind the scenes look at the presidential debate with congresswoman liz cheney who helped dad, dick cheney prepare for many debates and what she says could make or break the candidates tonight and for a free chance to win $25,000 from our fox & friends bet super six, yes, download the fox bet super 6 app and play the presidential debate game, pick six possible outcomes and then watch the debate on fox news tonight to see how it all unfolds, download the fox bet super six app, now, to get started.

>> i am going to be positive

tonight. i'm not going to indulge in negative personal attacks. >> i'm delighted to be here tonight with you joe and i too want to avoid any personal attacks. i promise not to bring up your singing. >> [laughter] >> i promise not to sing. >> [laughter] >> good. brian: that's exactly how tonight's going to go, only kidding. ahead of tonight's first presidential debate we're taking a look back at previous debates there was dick cheney squaring off against joe lieberman, the year was 2000 our next guest , member liz cheney congresswoman welcome back. those were the days right? >> hey, brian great to be back, wow that's a trip down memory lane, and i can't believe that it was 20 years ago, but it was really special to watch and i was honored to be part of the preparation for my dad for that. brian: it's safe to say both will not open up and say i promise not to attack you personally because i think it's going to be a lot of that, from the president' perspective, is

there a line he should not cross >> look i think the american people want to hear substance, i think this is, it's interesting if you look at sort of the way that we prepared my dad for these debates, he worked really hard, we had disciplined practice sessions and then he always took the day off right before the debate, and i have been watching joe biden. he's taking that to new heights. he seems to have taken every day off until this debate comes up, so, he seems to be in a position where he's hoping to be very relaxed, but in all seriousness, the american people want to know what he's going to do for the country. he's managed to avoid having to answer questions he won't tell us if he's going to stack the supreme court, he won't give people a list of his supreme court nominees. we've watched president trump particularly in terms of these nominations fundamentally change the face of the federal bench and that's going to last for generations, of course with just it amy coney barrett hopefully to be justice amy coney barrett so those kind of

things where we have a track record and the biden campaign has basically kept joe biden in hiding. he's not going to be able to hide tonight. brian: on the word record let's fast forward four more years the vice president has somebody he doesn't know too well john edwards in the senate when your dad was vice president here they are squaring off, watch. >> frankly, you have a record in the senate that's not very distinguished one of the worst attendance records in the united states senate. now, in my capacity as vice president, i am the president of the senate and the presiding officer. i'm in the senate to most when they are in session, and the first time i ever met you was when you walked on the stage tonight. brian: wow, so, gotta show up, so it was direct but it wasn't yelling, it wasn't personal. factual. >> yeah, factual and you know it's fascinating brian because as i said we did spend a lot of time working on the debate prep going through binders putting together answers, how do you get your answer into a 90 second clip, and both in 2000 and in

2004, the lines that people remember were lines that my dad came up with on his own, sitting there at the table, and so i think that comes with sort of being relaxed, knowing the topic , and being able to listen to your opponent and respond to what the opponent is saying. brian: congresswoman i think this is really preparation what i'm about to say. you can look at joe biden's record and he could say my whole career i've been a moderate but what does that have to do with now? and you could say what you said in the debate was when it comes to energy, get rid of fossil fuels, get rid of fracking. two months later get rid of fracking. now, he says i'm not getting rid of fracking. people in pennsylvania and ohio are going to be listening for that. the president has got to prepare to hit him with no you didn't, yes i did. you're better off knowing exactly what he said and when. >> right that's exactly right. the other point i think he raised is an important one is the vice presidential debate which will happen next week is going to be hugely important this year, they are always important but this year in

particular since you've had both joe biden and kamala harris say that it's going to be a harris- biden administration. the american people are going to want to hear kamala harris explain to them why she wants to takeaway everybody's private health insurance, why she believes in a green new deal. why in fact is her voting record in the senate the farthest left of any member of the united states senate. she also has been hiding and she's going to have to give everybody some answers and i think that's going to be particularly important this year as well. brian: well thank you very much you provide us a sound bite for next week's monday show. i appreciate it. and you also helped us with this it's good to look back and see when people were actually talking to each other and debating. i think we'll get a lot of yell ing tonight. congresswoman thanks so much. >> thanks brian great to be with you. brian: always great meanwhile six minutes before the bottom of the hour still ahead we've been telling you about democrats attacking judge amy coney barrett's faith. our next guest has known the judge for 20 years and says her religious experience is no different than millions of

americans. your journey requires liberty mutual.

they customize your car insurance so you only pay for what you need. wow. that will save me lots of money. this game's boring.

only pay for what you need. ♪ liberty. liberty. liberty. liberty. ♪ >> senator, i see no conflict between having a sincerely-held faith and duties as a judge. in fact we have many judges both state and federal across the country have sincerely held religious views and still impartially and honestly discharge their obligations as a judge, and when i'm confirmed as a judge i would decide cases according to the rule of law, beginning to end. ainsley: that is trump supreme court nominee amy coney barrett shutting down attacks on her faith and ability to serve as an impartial judge during her appeals court confirmation hear ing back in 2017. and now, her long time friend,

of 20 years, defending coney barrett saying her religious experience is no different than millions of americans. that friend, neighbor, and former colleague at notre dame, richard garnette joins us now good morning to you, rick. >> good morning, thank you. ainsley: why do you think she's a good fit? >> amy barrett is going to be an excellent justice if she's confirmed auto it was thinking this morning about in high school i went through a phase where i liked this band called rush and they had an album called grace under pressure, and that's amy barrett. she is poised and she's also as a teacher and a scholar incredibly rigourous and focused and i think we saw that last time around when she was being confirmed by the senate judiciary committee. i think we saw that in the clip that you just showed, that in the face of attacks that were in my view inappropriate and unfortunate, she was very clear

and direct in assuring americans and assuring the senators that she understands the role of a judge and she understands the task of a judge is to answer legal questions, and not religious questions. so i have a great deal of confidence in her ability to really contribute to the supreme court. ainsley: tell us more about her personally and then we'll get into the critics because i know your wife nicole they clerk ed together. your wife was clerking for clarence thomas and she was clerking for scalia. what was her reputation? >> yeah, her reputation as a law clerk that year, we met more than 22 years ago i believe, she was widely reputed be one of the smartest law clerks in the building my friend professor noah feldman up at harvard has said as much repeatedly but i've really had the privilege my wife and i have of being friends with amy and jessie barrett for a long time neighbors and colleagues with faculty of the notre dame law school. she's a beloved teacher, she

always wins the teacher award so none of the rest of us always have a chance to win it. ainsley: she's the godmother to one of your daughters right? >> she is a godmother to my middle daughter and our children are friends they've kind of grown up together. just the other day when the barrettes got back from the rose garden ceremony i looked out the window and my youngest son and her young boys were having some kind of a jedi war in the backyard and it was a nice picture. ainsley: that's cute we're showing the pictures of your kids playing together and real quickly she has seven children and that's just amazing and she's adopted two children. what do you know about that? >> i know the family very well like i said we've been neighbors the whole time. our siblings kind of our children kind of match up pretty well as friends so i've been able to watch her kids grow up and i just admire how that family works together as a team, both amy and jessie and all of the kids frankly. they all pitch into make this

collective team effort work well and it does. it's very impressive. all over south bend, it isn't a very big town, everybody who knows the barrettes kind of admires them and wonders how they do it, but they do it very well, and you know, they're involved not just with their own family but with jessie barrett's coached my kids soccer teams and amy barrett's been the classroom mom for some of my kids kindergarten classes, so they're engaged in the community and they're very generous with their time. ainsley: rick that's all the time we have thank you for joining us we appreciate it. >> my pleasure. ainsley: we're just over 12 hours away from the presidential debate what do voters want to hear tonight? lawrence jones is live on the ground in cleveland and he joins us next. find your rhythm.

brian: wow that was great. i'm pumped up meanwhile tonight president trump and joe biden faceoff for the first presidential debate set in the battleground state of ohio. moderated by a man who goes by the name chris wallace. the time it starts from 9:00- 11:00 unless both candidates refuse to stop talking, steve and it just goes into overtime. steve: that be awesome let's bring in fox news analyst and host of one nation on fox nation , lawrence jones is i think i see "the rock" and roll hall of fame right behind you. you're there in cleveland. yup that's it, indeed there's the hall. what are the people there in cleveland talking about because griff is also there and he was talking about how some businesses are actually boarding up their windows, they are worried there could be trouble tonight. >> yeah, there's a balance of issues first you have the covid concerns of healthcare, and then you have the responses of the economy, this businesses are boarded up because they literally can't survive and on

the flip side this balance of justice as well as law and order in the cities, and so that's going to be a big issue and now i'll tell you this. the way that both candidates have been campaigning have been different. donald trump has focused on the normal retail politics, going out knocking on doors it's estimated by the campaign number s that they knock-on 1 million doors a month, whereas joe biden they're not knocking on any doors they want to do virtual events they don't want to get out and do rallies or anything like that. they say they can do that because the numbers are in their favor but the trump internal polls saying that this knocking on the doors is working for them when they get on this debate stage, both this is the first time both of them will meet, but this will be the first time both of them are going to be challenged on the way that they have decided to campaign and whether their message is working with the voters. ainsley: what do you want to hear from both of these candidates when they talk about the topic of race and violence?

>> well ainsley, you guys know not only have i been reporting on it, but actually, providing an analysis on it. you have to balance getting things done when it comes to criminal justice reform and policing reform, while not allowing the cities in america to burn down, and that is going to be important to articulate. how do you say that i want equal justice under the law, for all citizens in america, also saying you feel like cops are being demonized and the attack on cops can't be right but also the violence in american cities by these anarchists you got to go after them, and so both candidates have to be able to articulate a message, they talk to all three buckets, and that's going to be a problem because chris wallace's probably going to press them on that and the american people they are going to be listening for sure. brian: lawrence tell me if this is a place the president should go. joe biden got in the race he said after charlottesville. i saw the president's tone he

was embracing, he thought, racism, and that's why he got in the president's never felt as though that was properly defined. do you think the president should go there and try to correct the record because he knows joe biden's going to want to go there. >> i think the president should focus on his agenda. he released a platinum plan in atlanta last week where he talked about where he wanted to take black america and that goes into investment making sure the economy is better for school choice. that platinum plan he should know it and deliver that to the people. the people, you know, look. i can go back with both candidates and talk about stuff that they have said about black america or things they've done in joe biden with the crime bill , and bring some criticism. i think people want a forward message what could benefit them and if they can do that then that be great for them. steve: all right of course the whole world is going to be watching as you will from cleveland. lawrence thank you very much for joining us on this tuesday. >> thanks for having me. steve: all right jillian joins

us as well part of the fox family and she's got more news. jillian: good morning so the hero who stopped the gunman that killed two people inside a texas church will not be charged jack wilson a firearms instructor was the head of the church's security team. he shot and killed the gunman during the attack just after christmas last year. prosecutors say he was justified to use deadly force under state law. governor greg abbott awarded wilson the medal of courage for his actions back in january. >> seattle's police chief is making changes to its staff following violent weekend protests. starting this week at least 100 officers will be moving from other departments back to patrol , to reduce emergency response times that's according to a local report. police made at least 10 arrests saturday as rioters set fires and vandalized buildings. the protests stem from the grand jury's decision in the brianna taylor case. >> take a look at senator dianne feinstein's push for a mask mandate appears to stop with her our own tucker carlson getting

these exclusive photos of feinstein not wearing a mask at a d.c. airport. now just three months ago the california democrat called for airports to require face coverings. carlson reached out to feinstein ' office but got no response. >> a special touchdown is warming hearts this morning watch this. >> down to the 15, the 10, the 5, and touchdown skyline. izaac mickelson the opening play of the game. jillian: i love it, scoring an honorary touchdown for the skyline grizzlies in idaho. the crowd cheering him on as he made the impressive 49-yard carry and the high school sophomore has spina bifida and the athletic director saying kindness pass it on we could use more of it fantastic. steve: both teams supported him that's just awesome. ainsley: it's a good message. steve: straight ahead today's the day our brand new cookbook comes out today we're going to

show you some of the recipes inside and believe it or not the whole book was inspired by you. that story, coming up.

>> tonight is the night the first presidential debate in the 2020 white house moderated by our very own chris wallace so will any minds be changed we'll

ask the top of the hour the trump campaign joins us on the president's debate prep, kayleigh mcenany live from the white house, joining us ahead of the big night, we'll take a spin on the one-touch looking at the candidates ground game in ohio, we've got a jam packed three hours for you coming up join bill, and me, top of the hour. steve: all right my wife kathy and i are proud to announce that our brand new happy in a hurry cookbook is finally being released today. today's the day you get to buy it. the idea for this happy cookbook actually came from hundreds of you all over the country during our last cookbook tour, when we met you, and when i did something on live tv i'd never seen anybody try before. remember this? >> let's hope this goes well. >> remember the time i went unannounced to a total stranger 's house live at the villages to make them breakfast from our happy cookbook?

come on in. we're going to make you breakfast where's your kitchen? when is the last time you had a puff pastry? >> never. steve: okay it's going to be fun >> i'm glad they opened the door. steve: me too that would have been embarrassing on live tv but they agreed with the premise of our happy cookbooks and that is that everybody has happy foods that when you see them or you smell them or you taste them, it triggers something. >> hi, steve. steve: how would you like to make a trip to new york city, because you're one of the winner s in our contest? >> no kidding! steve: fox & friends had a nationwide contest to see your happy recipe and here is the stories behind them. >> this recipe brings back great memories of my childhood and my mom. steve: the happy cookbook idea struck a chord with america in a big day. a bookstore in georgia had so many people turn out they had to rent a gym. >> this crowd is bigger than

kilmeade's crowd. steve: a lot of the people we met along the way were fox fans obviously, but so many others just wanted to meet kathy who had just revealed on tv that she had been diagnosed with a very rare aggressive form of eye cancer. >> it was hard to tell the story because a lot of people didn't know i was going through it. steve: in one sleepless night during radiation, kathy realized there was one thing she really needed to start doing. >> i was worried that the treatment wasn't going to work and i knew that the one thing i had to do was to write the recipes down that the kids grew up with, with the foods that they loved. steve: that's where the idea for the happy cookbook came from >> i was just very overwhelmed actually with emotion, just hear ing your story. >> i'm happy to say that today i'm cancer free and i want to thank everyone for the good thoughts and prayers. steve: it means so much to our family. we'd also like to thank a lot of you who we met on the last book tour. >> so many people said i love to cook. i just don't have time anymore.

steve: so cath esaid we should do a happy in a hurry cookbook, and ladies and gentlemen, here it is. 100 faster and easier new recipe s with ingredients you probably have in your house right now. for foods you won't find any where else like dana perino's simple ranch salad. >> the thing about this salad dressing is it was always on the ranch and it makes me super happy. steve: judge japan's mom, easy l entil soup. >> it's a reminder of my childhood and the warmth i got from my mom. steve: and bret baier's wife's amy's artichoke chicken casserole. >> the chick epidemic artichoke casserole is happy food because it's wintertime and warm and filling and good for you. we love it. steve: and of course there are more doocy family favorites, mary's meat less monday zoodle pie, sally's shocking shrimp and peter's chicken parm meatballs made with bread crumbs and not oatmeal

because we discovered earlier peter strzok not a fan of oatmeal. >> how does it taste, peter? >> i don't like it. >> [laughter] >> i didn't like it. steve: in addition there are hilarious and heartwarming family stories like the time i invited president reagan to our house for dinner. >> we were newlyweds we only had two chairs and no curtains. steve: it worked out just fine plus the exclusive story of how peter doocy was discovered by a talent scout at our local grocery store. >> yup it's true happened right there in the cheese aisle. >> and it's all in our brand new cookbook, that comes out today. steve: that's right during the pandemic you probably run out of things to cook, so this has got 100 brand new ideas , that'll have you happy in a hurry. steve: you know what thanks to all of you for , you know, it was great to see those in-person book signings, ultimately we can't do it this time around obviously, but thanks for the idea, because people

would like more great things to cook but they don't have all day in the kitchen, so this year, the book tour is all virtual and you can buy it officially today wherever you get your books, amazon, target they've got autographed copies at barns and barnes & noble and walmart has a special edition with an exclusive tailgating chapter so pick up a copy today wherever you buy books, so you too can be happy in a hurry. brian: didn't you cook everything in that book? steve: many many times. i made your family's artichoke pie probably 10 times. brian: right. ainsley: you know what it's so sweet and he put my grandmother 's dressing that's made with it's like acorn dressing. steve: it's a cornbread. you bake acornbread first and use that in the dressing. ainsley: so that was the favorite of mine, and we put gravy on top of it, and she said don't call it stuffing. it's not stuffing i'm not stuff ing the turkey. this is actually in a pyrex container and we had it every thanksgiving and my

grandmother is not alive so we had to call my aunt to get the recipe and steve you were so gracious to put it in there because when i see the pages my grandmother be so delighted to know her cooking is in a cookbook. steve: and that's the whole idea behind the foods that make you happy. it just reminds you of something happy. it's like last time i told you the story about my wife's lasagne. she made it on our first date and at the end i said you know, you're going to think i'm crazy but some day we're going to be married and she said you know what you need to leave. of course now we call it engagement lasagne but this time for the new cookbook we've gotten gaugement lasagne soup, we've got blt pasta, we've got a fantastic sweet tea fried chicken and 100 recipe s. ainsley: why didn't you take her to dinner on your first date? steve: it's a very long story.
