against two los angeles county deputies. >> do we know the motive? >> other than the fact that he obviously hates policemen and wants them dead. >> so you are endorsing trump? >> i'm not endorsing anybody. i will take the devil i know over the devil i don't know. ♪ and it's great day to be alive i know the sun is still shining when i close my eyes. ♪ hard time. ainsley: good morning to you. it is great day to be alive. isn't that beautiful with the american flag downstairs. we are upstairs. steve's cookbook came out on tuesday. we will be cooking with steve down there in a little while. some of the good news that broke is what the commission is saying about the debate. are they going to be changing the rules for the debate on october 15th. we will be talking about that, brian. brian: this one no talking. 33 days until the big day. the president is going to be in iowa and then, steve, going over to wisconsin. he says bring in the crowds. and i'm going to bring in the momentum. steve: well, last night the president was in duluth.

it was his third visit to minnesota since august. because, remember, in 2016 the president of the united states then donald trump private citizen came within 1.5 percentage points of beating hillary clinton. no republican has won minnesota since 1972, clearly he thinks he could do it. meanwhile, you know, over the last 36 hours, everybody has been talking about the tuesday debate. and all the interruptions. and now the people who put together the debates are talking about essentially giving the moderator or maybe it's the person back stage, they are unclear at this point. a gigantic mute button kind of thing at the staples that guy is making too much noise. like that. is that a good idea? right now it's still unclear what they are going to do. they put out a statement that the commission on presidential debate cbd sponsors televised debates for the benefit of the american electorate. last night's debate made clear that additional structure, and

it could be a kill switch or potting down somebody's mic. should be added to the format of the remaining debates to ensure a more orderly discussion of the issue. the commission will be carefully considering the changes that it will adopt and announce those measures shortly. the commissioner is grateful to chris wallace for the professionalism and skill he brought to last night's debate. and intends to ensure that additional tools to remain order are in place for the remaining debates. the question is what are those tools. the trump campaign said, look, they are just trying to change the rules because joe biden got pummeled, ainsley. ainsley: well, we saw them trading barbs two nights ago. and joe biden is now -- they were asking him yesterday when he was out on his train tour are you going to participate in these additional debates he? said he will not speculate on the next two debates. there is going to be one down in miami on october 15th and one in nashville on october 22nd.

let's bring in stuart varney. >> good morning to you all. ainsley: yesterday morning when biden was on the train tour, he was talking about the economy. listen to. this we inherited the worst recession short of a depression in american history. i was asked to bring it back. we were able to have an economic recovery that created the jobs you are talking about. we handed him a booming economy. he blew it. >> it wasn't blew it. >> we brought back -- i was asked to bring back chrysler and general motors. we brought them right back here in the state of ohio and michigan. he blew it. they are gone. he blew it. ainsley: that stewart about the economy was from the debate. the "new york times" has an article about hell freezing over the "new york times" fact checks biden on the economy. steve: did you just say the "new york times" fact checked joe biden? hello. ainsley: the economy was not booming in the final year of mre president and mr. trump did not cause the pandemic recession. under mr. trump economic growth

accelerated from 2016 spurred by the fiscal stimulus of tax cuts and spending and continued monetary stimulus from the federal reserve. what do you say, stuart? >> can we put this into play in english? joe biden is absolutely dead wrong. he says we left him a booming economy. let's break that one down for a start. no, you did not leave trump a booming economy. you left mr. trump, when he became president, what you left him with was an economy that was growing at less than 2% a year, a very slow economy. it was mr. trump who introduced tax cuts and red tape cuts that produced a booming economy with growth of better than 3% and an unemployment rate at a record low. the other side of his statement is he, president trump, caused the recession. that is salute nonsense. absolute nonsense. the recession was caused by the virus just as the recession was

caused all around the world by the virus. it wasn't president trump. it was the virus. in fact, the worst performing states with this virus are those states which have locked down longer and more firmly. it is the democrats who have produced a lot of this really bad economy that we have known since march. but i have got to tell you, ainsley. we are now recovering rapidly from that economic downturn. we have a booming economy right now. and it's president trump who has engineered that. biden is dead wrong on the economy. brian: i think it's a little insulting to the american audience that they didn't pick up on it. like blaming barack obama for the great recession. it wasn't his fault. he came in and did it and what he did after he is accountable for just like joe biden was in charge of the $800 billion stimulus therey no shovel ready jobs. where did that go. that's worthy of examination. as you said and the economist experts believed we would see huge growth in the third quarter because we had such amazing

loss. >> we are. brian: when you have double digital unemployment and get it down to single digital unemployment of course you added a lot of jobs. when you inherit 6% and you get it down to 3%, technically you are not doing it. it's a lot harder to get that extra 3% down for unemployed. >> yeah. joe biden is introducing a myth. and he thinks if he repeats it often enough that myth will be believed. maybe there is some truth in that. but the myth is that he handed president trump a booming economy, not true. the other myth is that it is trump that led us into this current recession. not true. it's the virus. steve: let's talk a little bit about one of the best businessmen in the united states johnson started bet decades ago and has done very well. we are going to play a sound bite for you. he has made very clear he's not going to endorse any candidate at this point, stuart, however, what he told some other business

channel yesterday is sure sounds like an endorsement of donald trump. we're going to play it and then your analysis on the other side. here is robert johnson. >> where i come out as a businessman, i will take the devil i know over the devil i don't know any time of the week. and that seems to be what business people are confronting today. the more you know about who will be pulling the levers of economic growth, economic development, taxes, stimulus, regulations, in my opinion, you are better off dealing with somebody you know where they are going to be than somebody you really have no idea what decisions they will make at such critical time. i absolutely do not know what vice president biden will do. i haven't heard anything

coherent out of what he said he will too. steve: stuart for him to say i will take the devil i know over the devil i don't know any time how impactful are are those words? >> it's very important because it comes from one of the leading african-american business people on this country. and he is saying better the devil i know, i guess he is referring to president trump. he knows what president trump has done and will do. that is lower taxes and encourage growth. he doesn't like the devil he doesn't know, which is joe biden. and as he says, i haven't heard anything co-heernts from joe biden on the subject of taxes and growth. in other words, he is not going to endorse president trump but that is one big slam on joe biden. and rightfully so. look, i don't know how you are going to get growth in this economy as you are trying to come out of a pandemic recession. how do you get growth by raising taxes 3 or $4 trillion.

raising taxes on businesses and getting rid of fossil fuels? how do you get growth out of that as robert johnson says, i haven't heard anything coherent from joe biden. ainsley: what do you make of what happened with the house they delayed the yofs relief bill again. the president says he is willing to negotiate. steve mnuchin said he just revealed that the second round of stimulus checks will be included in the next relief bill. which is this thing going to get passed. >> i don't know when it's going to get passed they are talking and odds are something will be passed. don't tell me we are 33 days until a presidential election. politicians in washington are not going to spend more money. they are going to spend more money and i'm sure they will come to an agreement at some point. now, the democrats want over 2 trillion. president trump and the republicans want just over 1 trillion. i'm pretty sure they are going to meet somewhere in the middle. around $1.5 trillion. i think you are likely to get the $600 a week emergency

unemployment pay. you are probably going to get the $1,200 special payments from the treasury. you probably are going to get help for the schools. help for testing. i think you are going to get all of the above. but what you won't get and what the republicans will not allow is extra help for state and local governments so they can bail out their pension problems. i think you will get an agreement. and i think the stock market believes so, too. we are going to go up again today. brian: that's great. stuart, i worry about the $600. you incentive to go back to work. and small business owners convinced to come back if they are getting paid more to stay home. i can't blame the people who are getting more to stay home. stuart, thanks so much. are you going to do your show 9 to noon today. >> if you are not careful 9 to noon on the fox business network. brian: have you power. sometimes you leave and they have to find a host. >> that's not true. ainsley: he just called you baby, brian.

brian: i know. i'm going to watch this tape back. stuart, thank you so much. jillian, would you tell us what else is happening? jillian: let's begin your headlines with this. the fourth person has died in the rapidly growing zogg fire in california. firefighters are facing unseasonably hot weather and dry conditions. strong winds are fueling the grass fire in wine country. the owner of our glass winery joined me on fox and friends earlier to talk about his road to recovery. >> we ended up evacuating, i think, four times on sunday as the fire was moving around us. we still have inventories of wine, the caves themselves did not burn. and so we are going to have some economic challenges ahead. jillian: devastating. at least 19 wineries and restaurants have already been destroyed. louisville's new interim police chief said to be sworn in today. gentry coming back to the department after retiring in 2014. she will be the first black woman to lead the department and the city's third police chief

since breonna taylor's death in march. meanwhile, a kentucky judge delays the release of grand jury recordings in taylor's case to tomorrow. it comes after the states' attorney general requested the delay to protect witnesses. overnight, president trump signs a stop gap spending bill to avoid a government shutdown. the senate approved the measure in an 84-10 vote, just hours before the deadline. the bill keeping the government funded through december 11th it. also includes billions in aid for farmers and food assistance programs for families. and now to a jam-packed day of playoff baseball. the yankees moving on after rallying to beat the indians in the top of the 9th. the yankees will face the tampa bay rays who knocked out the blue jays. the astros advancing over the twins. carlos carrera's home run in the seventh putting houston out for good and beating the reds in the 13th inning. >> freddy shoots one deep toward left center field. that ball is head totedz track

and to the wall and it's done with. freddy walks us off. jillian: ending the strongest scoreless game in playoff history. a look at your headlines. steve: the yankees game was over at 1:14 this morning. brian: if you watched the debate and yankees game you cannot host morning show. jillian: clearly awake at 1:14 this morning. steve: good morning. hello. jillian, thank you. on this thursday religious leaders are outraged, some are over the attacks on judge amy coney barrett's faith. our next guest helped lead a defense for barrett and cawlingscriticism religious big. that referenced joins us live next.

good person. what's so wrong with that? >> listen, it is a preposterous. and the bible, james 1:27 says this is what god considers perfect religion that you care for the ohr fan and the widow in their distress i know i have got to go quickly. we are called upon to care for the orphans and the widows and what judge barrett has done is do what christ called us to do. jesus said the spirit of the lord is on me because he anointed me to preach good news to the poor. this is what the barrett family is doing in adopting and carrying for these children. and, frankly, i have got to say this to the country. listen, you know, as opposed to criticizing this gesture of charity and love, the critics in

this case a professor should for her example. don't hate, celebrate in fact. i have to ask the question. professor candy how many black children have you adopted? you are living comfortably at boston university. i challenge you follow the example of people of faith who have concerned themselves the poor. we praise sister. we praise god for you. and you have supporters around the world. ainsley: why is it important to you? because christians, people of faith all over the world are criticize you had, are hate you had by, you know, i want to believe a small group of people but persecution has been around since the beginning of time. why is it important for you to speak out? >> it is -- for the poor and be

not they should vote in person and people who are vulnerable are being advised not to. what do you make of this where there are problems with the way this is being executed? >> well, this is a huge problem because under the law where this type of mismatch that you just described occurs, all of those ballots could be invalidated. now, some people may have caught this in time because of reporting like yours and "the new york post." but many people may have already voted those flawed ballots and those votes could be tossed out. this is one of the reason that the president and others criticized this automatic mail-in voting because a larger proportion of ballots get tossed out for mistakes under mail-in balloting than n person balloting there are many other types of mistakes. the vote by the refusal of states to purge outdated voter roles. many of my friends have reported multiple ballots arriving at their homes for the people who lived there five and 10 years ago. this is a huge problem. i think we are going to have chaos around the time of the

election. steve: you are not the only one to forecast that what they are here in new york city i heard from somebody who works on our crew that apparently they got an absentee ballot in the mail a couple of days ago. and there was no protective envelope. that means when they send it back, it's going to immediately be disqualified according tout rules unless they wave those. in the meantime, the city comptroller is suggesting, you know what? there are so many problems, just go vote in person, which is a different message than what we have heard over the last couple of months. >> right. well, this citizen is voting in person to the extent possible, meaning i'm going to fill in my ballot and turn it n person. there is no option in california to vote in person in this election cycle. and so, you know, a lot of people are going to question whether their vote was counted in this election, which will lead to litigation. steve: speaking of litigation, when you take it all the way up to the supreme court, usually you argue in front of nine justices. but the democrats are talking about, look, donald trump should

not have put this name out. we're going to hold him accountable. everything is on the table, including the suggestion that they pack the court. have more than nine justices, which would then, you know, ultimately they would bring in people that they like. here are a couple of senators yesterday talking about that and perhaps eliminating the filibuster. >> can each of you tell me where you stand on the possibility eliminating the filibuster. >> if we do elect a majority we will all get together and everything will be on the table. nothing will be off the table. >> i'm open to that discussion, but it won't happen unless the democrats take back the senate. steve: the problem harmeet if they do it -- if the democrats do it this time, eventually you think this could come back to haunt them. >> well, absolutely. this is a terrible idea. and democrats should know it's a terrible idea of all people. they eliminated decades of precedent in this regard dating back to 1975 there was a 3/5ths

cloture rule in the senate that allowed the minority to have important things in how we confirm justices and others. they eliminated that in 2012 harry reid to d. to ram through a supreme court justice. republicans did it again in 2017 when they lowered the threshold for confirming justice gorsuch. so, two can play that game. it eliminates protections for the minority. democrats are going to regret it one day. i hope they don't do something stupid like that. steve: stay tuned for that harmeet, thank you for joining us today. >> my pleasure. steve: all right. straight ahead. did you see this yesterday? former fbi director james comey grilled via zoom by lawmakers and called out for not remembering details of the probe he led. former congressman jason chaffetz has lots to say about that, and he's coming up next. among my patients, i often see them have teeth sensitivity as well as gum issues.

below me it wasn't important to me. are you kidding me? and, you know what in the senate needs to get up a lot of the other people around him. i'm tired from hearing from comey that the prosecutor should be going after him. there are other people that the senate and certainly the durhams of the world should be looking at. steve: you know what? you just did a good promo for us. we have senator lee coming up in our 8:00 eastern hour. stay tuned for that nonetheless, here is the former fbi director talking a little bit about how the controversy and all this trump stuff, you know, it just doesn't remember. watch. >> do you recall getting an inquiry from the -- excuse me, the intelligence community in september 2016 about a concern that the clinton campaign was going to create a scandal regarding trump and russia? >> it doesn't ring bells with me. >> that's a pretty stunning thing it didn't ring a bell. steve: jason chaffetz, how do you, as the former fbi director

forget important details about an investigation into a presidential candidate and their campaign? >> it's totally inexcusable. what you can look at is that document as released by john ratcliffe, the director of national intelligence. it's something like the next day the clinton campaign is actually out there doing those types of things. so, that document was in their possession. it has now been declassified. and you can look at what the clinton campaign actually did. and i tell you, when i was the chairman and i sat there with james comey and we were talking about hillary clinton and her emails. the biggest issue that he made was intent. he said oh, well i couldn't prove intent. this goes to intent. now, it is a russian document. it needs to be investigated. but that has got to ring bells at the highest levels toe fbi.

well, joe biden is the vice president and there is nothing out there. it is absolutely shameful it. is an embarrassment to this country. and shame on those national media organizations who never report this and say oh it's been debunked. joe biden said it's debunked. by who? nobody. he should have gotten a follow-up question and he should be asked that question every single time the media has a chance. brian: i was surprised ukraine wasn't a topic. at the very least if it isn't true, let joe biden tell us way to isn't true. it has nothing to do -- just tell us what you had to do with it and that includes the china link, too. and with this comey did admit if he knows what he knows now, he wouldn't have went for that fisa warrant against carter page. he actually wouldn't have gotten it. and mccabe is next wednesday. >> but brian, where is the court? how many people can go to a court and lie to the court, submit documents that were false and the court just sit back and do nothing. brian: i know. >> shame on chief justice

roberts. that court should be holding these people accountable as well. brian: they should be madder than everybody else even madder than jason chaffetz at this hour in the morning. jason, thanks so much. >> thank you. brian: after a six month shutdown the washington monument is reopening to the public today. secretary of the interior joins us with why it is so important for americans to have access to our monuments.

jillian: good morning, back with headlines now. attorney accused of killing where to kenosha protesters plans to sue joe biden and his campaign. over an add that appears to the suggest that kyle riten house is a white supremacist. >> are you willing tonight to condemn white supremacist and militia groups as we have seen in kenosha and portland. >> riten house's attorney says he will file a libel lawsuit. the teen says he was defending himself when he opened fire in august. biden campaign has not commented. throw out nine mail in ballots made a bad error black of training not intensional fraud. all nine of them were military ballots. seven of them were for president

trump. the secretary of state says there is an ongoing investigation. brian? brian: thanks, jillian. the washington monument reopens today after being closed six months due to the coronavirus. what safety measures are being taken to protect visitors and why is it so important for the american people to have access to our monuments right now. especially considering they have been under attack let's bring in the secretary of the interior david barnhart. that is your portfolio. mr. secretary, you and i walked this for a fox nation special we are going to hear about shortly. it was a thrill for me to walk the whole thing. how important is it, how special is today for you. >> today is a big day because finally we are at a point where we are reopening our washington monument which is a testament to our founding father george washington. and it's phenomenal that people can now come back, go up to the observation deck and recognize this incredible tribute to our

leader who serves really as a bee con of hope to not only americans but all humanity. brian: took so long to build. when they christened it was for george washington. in the audience was alexander hamilton's widow and dolly madison. james madison's wife. there for the special day. and we went through the civil war before it was completed. america needs to see this story. how hard was it to shut it down when so many come to washington to see things like this? >> actually, it was really a big disappointment to make the decision to shut down. but i actually went over and measured the spacing with a public health official. early in the ear wrath the earlf the pandemic. we worked with officials to tailor our program that will have online ticketing. will have good spacing

throughout the memorial. and i think to be open and to have people be inspired by this wonderful tribute is critical. and everybody that walks through that memorial cannot help but leave with an incredible sense of the tremendous man and also the tremendous effort america has made to create an exceptional reality for all of humanity. brian: mr. secretary, there is something real serious about our monuments. they are being scrutinized. in fact, a board came up with 153 monuments and sites that should be taken down or changed in washington, d.c. the washington monument is somewhat under attack. >> yeah. it's really incredible. and the reality is when you walk through that monument, and you have had an experience of walking down the stairs in the monument. what you seize is 193 carved

stones that really were a tribute to the man himself. and the context of this monument is one of people throughout the united states recognizing the importance of both our founderrer of our nation. one of our founding fathers. but also the ideals of america. and the president recognizes that and believes that rather than tearing monuments down and removing them, we should be telling more american stories. because we have so many individuals that have done some great things as we strive every day to become a more perfect union. brian: but a lot of people don't feel that way. and sadly a lot of americans. so, that's why we see ropes around the jackson statue to be taken down. why did all of that stop for now? >> well, the president took very bold action. and laid out a directive to me, to ensure that we're protecting our monuments. but, more importantly, laid out a directive to the department of

justice that basically said you are going to prosecute these folks and when you prosecute them, they could be subject to up to 10 years federal prison time and that got people's attention. it made a huge difference. you know, the president takes bold action. he is not one to wait around to see how the situation is going to change without a driving forward. and his leadership made a big difference here. brian: i know so many people come to washington was disappointed it was closed. that doesn't have to be the case. we have a great special. we are going to talk about when it's ready. mr. secretary, thanks so much. >> thank you. brian: you got it. meanwhile coming up straight ahead, kevin mccarthy senator mike lee. katie pavlich and dave rubin. we can fit them all in. mind if i root through your trash? new robitussin honey severe. strong relief for your severe symptoms.

not just running against joe biden i'm running against the far left media. [chanting four more years] >> my build back better plan has shaped my views as president. >> biden is dead wrong on the economy. we have a booming economy right now and it's president trump who has engineered that. >> religious leaders are outraged over the attacks on judge amy coney barrett. >> as a pastor, as a father, we could not stand by and let our sister be disrespected like this. brian: attempted murder charges are filed against the man accused of shooting two los

angeles deputies. >> do we know the motive? >> other than the fact that he obviously hates policemen and wants them dead. >> fox news channel topping the ratings with a whopping 17.8 million viewers. ♪ nothing but a good time ♪ how can i resist ♪ ain't nothing but a good time. brian: get ready, thursday edition of fox and friends is coming your way. hopefully you are waking up for the first time and don't hurt yourself. steve: it's a three hour show. how long does it take to you get dressed. brian: depends when the alarm went off. a lot of times 6:506789 by the time you are supposed to be dressed by 7:00 when the bump-in music is selected. real quick for the president of the united states he is going to be in iowa. he wants to make sure that's in his column. he really believes he won 19 counties in minnesota last time. barely lost the state. he is going back there this weekend. and he's energized. he feels as though he corrected the record and pushed back on joe biden's record on tuesday in

the debate. steve: he did, indeed. i think the shocking thing so far about today is just simply when i look at the calendar. how did it become october it's october 1st. we are just about a little less than five weeks away from when we all go to vote. and as the story in the "new york post" talks about how vote chaos apparently they sent out -- some vendor sent out 100,000 incorrect absentee ballots that have got to be fixed. and it extends not only in brooklyn but also out in long island. brian, i don't know if your neck of the woods is impacted, but, nonetheless. brian: nassau county, yep. steve: we heard so much about voting chaos. brian: it happens. steve: news this morning is not good. ainsley: yesterday everyone was talking about the debate. everyone wanted to give their opinion. we all had reaction. we are awful curious what the second debate is going to look like which is going to take place on october 125th. that's down in miami and october

the third debate there is talk that maybe joe biden's camp will not agree to those last two debates when he was asked about it he said he won't speculate about the next two debates. and now the commission. the presidential debate commission is considering changing the rules. this is their statement the commission on presidential debates sponsors televised debates for the benefit of the american electorate. last night's debate made clear that additional structure should be added to the format of the remaining debates to ensure a more orderly discussion of the issues. the cpd will be carefully considering the changes that it will adopt and will announce those measures shortly. the commission is grateful to chris wallace for the professionalism and skill that he brought to last night's debate and intends to ensure that additional tools to maintain order are in place for the remaining debates. brian, yesterday, chuck schumer was saying that the next debate should have a mute button. brian: you could. it's also insulting to the most powerful man in the world to be silenced and have their mic cut or her mic cut in the future if

that's how you are going to do it. steve: but, brian, who decides to cut off the president of the united states? if they did that, they would be putting the moderator -- would it be the mod de moderator withg kill switch on their desk or somebody back stage and then there are going to be the conspiracy theory ideas. you know, they both have the right to say what they want. they just have to figure out how to do it within the rules. so that is why the commission, brian, is in a pickle. brian: absolutely. and here is both candidates were out. the joe biden hopped on a train and was interrupted quite often by other trains and president went to a rally last night and just keep in mind. while everyone is critical with the president and there is a lot to criticize there. it was joe biden who called the president a clown, a fool, a liar, told him to shut up and called him the worst president ever. if you are going to criticize the president, you have to criticize the vice president. listen to how they interpreted their performance. >> the verdict is in and they say that we, we, all of us, won

big last night. i held joe biden accountable for his 47 years of lies. [cheers and applause] >> 47 years of betrayal and 47 years of failure. i held joe accountable for shipping your jobs and dreams abroad and for bowing to the violent mob at home. you know biden lost badly when his supporters are saying he should cancel the rest of the debates. >> maybe i shouldn't say this, but the president of the united states conducted himself the way he did i think was just a national embarrassment. brian: and the president was looking around and saying wow, i missed an opportunity probably is. this because if the vice president becomes president of the united states on the docket will be adding states to the union looked at as positive for the democrats. going to be the electoral college is going to be on the docket and so will packing the supreme court. they don't want to answer any of those questions and then the most impactedful questions any

candidate outside of war having to tackle in my lifetime. steve: those are things biden voters and every voter need to know. are you going to pack the court get rid of the filibuster? yes or no. they will not answer because they don't want to alienate either the core audience or progressives or whoever before it. so far the mainstream media really has not pressed them on it to the extent that a lot of the trump people would like to see that happen. apparently 73 million people watched the debates on tuesday night. that is down from 2016 when 84 million people watched. but, nonetheless, the president said he thought it was great. and he said he got tremendous reviews, ainsley, from the president he had spoken to that he did it exactly the right way. ainsley: and to brian's point earlier about joe biden calling him a liar and clown and telling him to shut up. the first half of the debate. sources close to the biden campaign told fox news that he

was not going to engage in personal attacks. brian: oops. ainsley: or respond to any insults. keep in mind president trump interrupted 145 times that includes interrupting biden and wallace. and then biden interrupted trump and wallace 67 times. steve: that's a lot. ainsley: successful african-american founder of bet, robert johnson, he was interviewed. and he said, listen, for me it's really about the issues. i'm a businessman. when you talk -- you know, we had tom cotton on yesterday, steve. the issue for him is the supreme court. he doesn't want his gun rights taken away. religious freedoms taken away. he doesn't want abortion in the ninth month. for him that's his issue. robert johnson explained what his issue is. and he insinuated that his vote is going to go to trump. listen to this. >> where i come out as a businessman, i will take the devil i know over the devil i don't know any time of the week. and that seems to be what business people are confronting today. the more you know about who will

be pulling the levers of economic growth, economic development, taxes, stimulus, regulations, in my opinion you are better off dealing with somebody you know where they are going to be than somebody you really have no idea what decisions they will make at such a critical time. i absolutely do not know what vice president biden will do. i haven't heard anything coherent out of what he said he will do. brian: if joe biden wins, the biggest story is going to be how he is going to deal with his wide left, his way left. i'm thinking soccer. but, i think, also, that's what the president. steve: goal. brian: that's what he was trying to say if you say what you are going to do, joe, just realize if you do that you will lose the left which means you are not going to do it. that was the president's job to cleave them both. and if aoc and bernie sanders has a mic in their face today

and didn't get a call to stand down from joe biden if they were given truth serum maybe they were reallyup set about how they were characterized by joe biden in defense of the attacks from the president of the united states. iyou could follow that and i hoe you can stuart varney has a lot of questions. a lot of questions about what a joe biden economy would look like. listen. >> he knows what president trump has done and will do. that is lower taxes and encourage growth. he is not going tone doors president trump but that is one big slam on joe biden. and rightfully so. because, look, i don't know how you are going to get growth in this economy as you are trying to come out of a pandemic recession. how do you get growth by raising taxes three or four trillion dollars, raising taxes on businesses and getting rid of fossil fuels. how do you get growth out of that? as robert johnson says, i haven't heard anything coherent from joe biden. steve: so he did sound as if he

is going to go with donald trump, but he is not going to say that at this point. you know, i was just thinking, i wonder how many -- the viewership for the debates is down. i wonder how many people are just going to hold their nose to vote for one of the candidates and decided i have got to vote for this person for whatever reason, i'm not even going to watch it. it's like it's already baked into the cake for me. i feel strongly about this person. i don't need to hear. ainsley: i hear a lot of people say they turned it off. steve: yeah, me too. brian: not when we are on. steve: no, we hope not. at 9:00 then people can go ahead and do their chores. brian: listen to the radio. steve: run to the radio. we are running to headlines right now and jillian joins us. jillian: good morning a convicted felon charged with attempted murder in the shooting of two los angeles county deputies outside a train station last month. dionte lemurry has pleaded not guilty. a motive for the ambush remains unclear.

>> motive for why -- >> other than the fact that he obviously hates policemen and he wants them dead. not specifically. jillian: the l.a. cut sheriff's office says murray was already in custody in connection with to a carjacking. the sheriff's office sharing this photo of one of the deputy reacting to the arrest with a thumbs up. both deputies are out of the hospital and recovering. a judge approves $800 million settlement for the victims of the las vegas mass shooting. under the deal mgm resorts and insurers will pay 4,000 victims and family members. today shut third anniversary of the attack. 58 people were killed and more than 850 others were hurt when a gunman opened fire from the and da lay bay. it is the deadliest mass shooting in modern u.s. history. today more than 30,000 airline workers are set to be furloughed. american and united making the move as federal aid expires. the airlines say the layoffs can be reversed if congress approves

more funding. air travel has dropped. those are the headlines back to you. brian: ground are aware of this between september and october strategies both months hispanic heritage month in america. i was asked to do a special for fox nation where i talked to lawmakers of hispanic heart damage about what it means to be an hispanic american. one of which was maybe the most famous senator marco rubio and he talked about where his parents came from, what they told him about his past. and how it made him the person he is today. listen. brian: what do you tell your kids about where your parents came from. >> you know with each generation it gets harder. they get further removed more simulation happens. both kids got to know them a little bit before they passed away. they don't have that grand parent experience. it is important to know we are two generations removed from a different country and way of life they probably wungted be

there today with the opportunities that they have had it been for that change or decision made by people two generations ago. brian: yeah. he says despite being a sitting senator they treat him like everybody else especially with his expanded family in the miami area. it was very nice of him to do it. i hope you like this it's called what made america great featuring the hispanic american month. it's amazing the impact that they have had in every one of our war and the magic moments throughout our past which can't be vistled. ainsley: remember on the campaign trail when he told the story about his parents coming over and working at the hotel. brian: that's why the ppp loans mean so much to him these hospitality workers are the ones arguably hurt more than anybody else. no one is traveling going to hotels or restaurants. ainsley: furloughs breaks your heart and the firings. steve: great series check it out today on fox nation. ainsley: thanks, brian. coming up senators hoping for answers from fbi director james comey and his long awaited testimony on the russia

revealed recently about the subsource. >> wait, with all due respect, you don't seem to know anything about an investigation that you ran. steve: yeah. that's what it looked like to them. former fbi director james comey testifying before the senate judiciary committee via zoom on the origins of that russia probe, an investigation he led as we just heard senator mike lee yet, did he not know the answer to some very key questions. here with reaction former department of justice deputy director of public affairs ian prior. ian, good morning to you. >> good morning. steve: so you know it's one thing he has been out of government for a while, but you would think that if you were the fbi director and you were leading an investigation into a presidential candidate and his campaign, you might remember some of that stuff. >> you might remember it. and if you go back to, you know, his book tour and his media tour, he talks about his laser like memory. steve: right. >> i guess there is two things

we can think about here. either he lost his memory or he's lying. and i don't think -- i don't think he lost his memory. i think james comey is an intelligent guy. so i'm going to say that he is lying here. it's amazing that he doesn't remember anything about an investigation that he led which involves now, now that we know a russian agent feeding disinformation through the hillary clinton campaign to damage donald trump's, first his campaign and then his presidency. yet, nobody is investigating the clinton campaign for collusion with the russians, which they should. also i would say the folks in congress that pushed this down our throats for three and a half years they are complicit in this, too. steve: what's interesting is, you know, the federal government was able to spy on american citizens and the trump campaign because the fisa court was protected with incorrect documents with fisa applications. it was mr. comey himself who

yesterday said yeah i certify that i figured it was right. >> right, of course. he always has an excuse. when the republicans were questioning him about this investigation. he couldn't remember. when the democrats were questioning him and filtering their talking points through james comey he was more than willing to give a big answer. right? he was talking about the wave of racial violence in this country. where is that? i mean, i just took a look at the civil rights division website and all their press releases and i'm not say seeing that what i have seen is cities being burned to the ground by antifa and other radical organizations. so, once again, you have james comey who is nothing more than a partisan at this point coming up and doing the democrats' dirty work in a hearing. steve: yeah. speaking of talking points. you know, some have referred to it as a republican talking points. there's going to be chaos at the polls when people go to vote and there is going to be all sorts of problems. that actually is the cover of the "new york post" today where

they talk about how apparently a printing company sent out 100,000 ballots to brooklyn and portions of new york and got the wrong names, they got the wrong addresses. and now the printing company is apparently going to reprint those things but if you are at home and you wind up with all this mail, it's like -- which one is the right one? i have forgotten. this is not a talking point. this is a fact. >> yeah. i mean, look, at the very least, this is going to be extremely confusing for voters. right? at the worst, it provides an absolute incentive and opportunity for voter fraud. now, the idea that, you know, somehow this is president trump trying to sow disorder in the election, no, what this is a fact. it's on the ground and you are seeing it in different areas. you saw it in new york and you saw it in pennsylvania last week. people are getting multiple ballots addressed to their homes where people don't live there anymore. look, this is a recipe for

disaster. and we may not know the result of the election until well after the election because of this. so people should be prepared. this is not a republican talking points. this the actual fact of what is happening on the ground. steve: although republicans are talking about it and now so is the "new york post" talking about it how this snafu did just occur and they are trying to figure out how to fix it. ian, thank you for joining us from the commonwealth of virginia today. >> thanks for having me. steve: you betcha. meanwhile from questioning her faith from refusing to meet with her. democrats have not been so welcoming to judge amy coney barrett up on capitol hill. so our next guest asked what happened to democrats supporting women. katie pavlich on that coming up next.

ainsley: this leaves our next guest asking what happened to democrats supporting women? here now fox news contributor and author of the book "assault and flattery. the truth about the left and heir war on women." katie pavlich. hey, katie. >> good morning. good to see you. ainsley: good to see you, too. i read your article in the hill and excellently written. tell me why you chose to do that. >> well, we have heard for decades that democrats are the party that are supportive of women. and as amy coney barrett, judge barrett goes around capitol hill trying to meet with senators to show her record and qualifications, not because she is a woman but based on her history in the judicial system and as a professor, you know, we are seeing that they have no interest in supporting her either as a candidate for the supreme court or as a woman who is breaking a glass ceiling. there have only been five women nominated to become supreme court justices. and it's becoming clearer than ever that the democratic party is only interested in supporting

certain kinds of ambitious and successful women. and those kinds of women happen to hold progressive leftist values. now, judge barrett is the opposite when she gave her speech at the white house, accepting the nomination from president trump to be the next supreme court justice should she be confirmed, she gave credit to justice ruth bader ginsburg for leading the way and being a pioneer for women in the legal field. and, yet, we are not seeing the same coming from democrats on capitol hill who constantly claim that they are the party for women. ainsley: i know. that is shocking. you are absolutely right. ruth bader ginsburg we wouldn't be able to have a create card katie without our husband's signature. she changed so many laws for women. you have this b.u. professor that called her a colonizer and saying she is using her two adopted haitian kids as props. contribute writer for vanity fair how barrett could be a loving mom and a judge. if the shoe were on the other

foot. if this were a right professor at b.u., what would happen? >> if this were a progressive or leftist judge, who was up for the nomination sob the next supreme court justice and the fifth woman to ever be on the court there would be extensive think pieces about sexism and systematic sexism in the american system and how we need to change as a country. the reason i mentioned justice ruth bader ginsburg and the reason justice or judge, excuse me, barrett mentioned her is that they didn't -- they have very different policies positions when it comes to things like abortion and the constitution. and, yet, they were able to come to some kind of intellectual agreement about promoting women. yet, here we are with democrats on capitol hill like senator dianne feinstein or senator chuck schumer saying they are just not going to neat with her although she is making history and so if the shoe were on the

other foot, there would be glowing profiles of this woman cover of vogue. cover of "time" magazine as woman of the year. yet, we are seeing the opposite. we are seeing disgusting vicious attacks on her decision to adopt two children from haiti. we are seeing attacks on her faith. we would not be seeing that coming from republicans on the other side who have a history of voting for supreme court nominees that are put up by democratic presidents. ainsley: you write in your article, our children obviously make our lives very full. then she goes on to say while she is at home she is a room parent, a carpool driver and a birthday party planner. something we can all relate to if we have kids. thanks so much, katie. if you want to read it. >> thanks, ainsley. ainsley: it's in the hill. have a good day. >> you are welcome, do you. ainsley: the commission of democratic debates considering a rule change after showdown between president trump and joe biden. house leader kevin mccarthy here to react next.

♪ ♪ safe and sound brian: clear kay in washington. hopefully where you live, too. and it's a chance to go to washington to bring in minority leader kevin mccarthy. the leader is with us to talk about something exciting for people hurting with 8% unemployment and wondering when their jobs will be allowed to go back to work. leader mccarthy, are we getting closer and closer to some type of relief package? >> well, we are trying, especially on the republican side. just yesterday we put on the floor more money for ppp. that is for the small business owner. for the employee the money goes. but, unfortunately, the democrats voted that downing we created a discharge petition with steve schwabb got and jamie herrera but ler. if you get 218 signatures on it,

it goes around pelosi and could actually come to the floor. and just the other day, a number of democrats sent a letter to the speaker because she has been the common denominator holding this money up. not just for small businesses. but for schools, for states for the airlines you begin to wonder is she doing this because she wants the economy to fail before november? why would she hold it up all this time? even in august she should she would not let us leave without finishing but she sent us home. then she called us back for an emergency. but not for covid relief bill and republicans, again, at that time put another proposal on the floor of the house and the democrats voted it down. steve: it is shocking to think that it could be political this short before an election. ainsley: sad. steve: it's just the way washington is right now leader mccarthy. you know that in fact, it's to the point where after the debate on tuesday night, the president said that he was able to hold joe biden accountable for his 47

years in power. and now, because it was so interruptry, apparently the presidential commission on debates is considering changing the rules. changing the structure. they might change the amount of time the amount of time a candidate can speak or the moderator might actually have a mute button. you know, in this country we want to hear what both of those mean have to say. do you think a mute button is a good idea? and then you know, the guy who pushes it you are going to wonder what was his agenda? it becomes way too complicated, doesn't it. >> you know, joe biden's campaign uses a mute button on joe biden every day where they put that lid on it seven of the last 14 days. so he is used to it. but the american people are not. if you are going to run for the free leader of this world we want to hear what you have to say. now why are going to allow one person to moderate it to determine what the american people can hear from our candidates? of course they want to change the rules.

anything that gives joe biden some type of advantage. and one thing i would say, don't put a mute button on joe biden and for the president, don't interrupted him. becauser time i watched him speaking, he couldn't finish a sentence. you looked into his eyes. i mean, i have spent a lot of time with joe biden when he was vice president. this is not the same man that i used to have breakfast with. ainsley: i want to talk about the supreme court but i want to go back to the ppp quickly. needed to get around nancye pelosi. how close are you to that. >> we are very close. there is 200 republicans. they are all going to sign it. you have a number of democrats that have also become so frustrated because they are hearing back home from their constituents of the pain that is being caused by nancy pelosi continuing to hold it up. and she's done this with every covid relief bill we h remember in front of that refrigerator when we needed more money from her and she said no. or when she flew back and held it up another week so the kennedy center could have more

money but more people got laid off. what's very interesting is the power that nancy pelosi has over these democrats. when the republicans put it on the floor yesterday, max rose voted against ppp. he talks one game in the district and votes with nancy pelosi inside the house. that is what's wrong. that's why the american people need to call every one of their members of congress and ask them have they signed the discharge petition? because nancy pelosi even released us from not voting last friday because that was the first day we could start signing it because she did not want members to sign that document. ainsley: do they realize this can't be political because we know so many people here in new york that the companies continue to keep them on the payroll for many months during covid. and then they finally just said look, we can't afford to keep doing this, most small businesses couldn't. so those workers now they can't pay their bills. they are stressed. they are worried. they can't get another job because most people aren't hiring right now because of all the layoffs and they can't afford to hire new people. this is so important. how long is she going to hold it

up if it is her fault? >> well, this is so frustrating to me. because, every time we have been able to have the four leaders in the room, we came out with an agreement. but nancy pelosi is the person that has taken over this relief package. and that is the common denominator why nothing has happened. she holds her members so tight. the only mechanism and rule we have in the house to go around her is a discharge petition. the only other way is to remove nancy pelosi from speaker. go to take the house.com they could do something about that. but what we really need to do is put the pressure on her. steve chabot as a small business has been able to put a bill forward that gives greater flexibility. we have saved more than 50 million jobs. and you are right. it goes to every single community. it doesn't matter if you are republican, democrat, woman or man, black or white or brown, it does not matter. we are all americans in this battle. brian: right. i like to see it seems like the leaders you are getting closer, mnuchin and pelosi are talking

and maybe we'll get something in between 1.5 trillion and 2 trillion. meanwhile, chuck schumer let everybody know what is really on the table. we'll could focus on this confirmation of justice could be associate justice barrett if she is confirmed. but he's saying that if they win the senate and win the white house, this country will change. listen. >> on d.c. and puerto rico, particularly puerto rico votes for it, d.c. already has voted for it in love to make them states and as for the filibuster, i'm thought busting my chops to become majority leader to do very little or nothing. we are going to get a whole lot done. as i said everything, everything is on the table. brian: that, packing the court, adding two states. democratic stating at least initially. four more senators. they could even expand the number of members in the house to fatten their advantage in democratic areas. i mean, that's living roomily on

th --literally on the table. he is saying it. >> he said we around with you about it in commitment to america warn this nation, packing the courts. putting more states in to advantage more members. that's not the american way. that's why people need to get out and vote. to say do this about amy coney barrett. think of her own life of what she has been able to achieve and attack her on her faith? she deserves to be on the supreme court. but you know where i really saw it? sitting on the couch watching my own daughter megan. her eyes light up as a young woman. seeing what this lady has been able to achieve. not only in the courts, not only first in her class at notre dame, but clerking at the supreme court. buff being a mother. having faith. she is going to break ceilings just like ruth bader ginsburg did. and the idea that you cannot be a woman who breaks ceilings only because of your philosophical belief, that's unamerican and it's vile that they even try to do this. brian: schumer could break the country. steve: it is political as it all

is. leader mccarthy thank you very much for starting your day with fox and friends. >> thank you. steve: all right. it is a quarter before the top of the hour and news time with jillian. jillian: good morning. let's begin with this. a louisville police major shot during protests returns to work. major be a brie gregory calling for unit in the city. >> all of us are in this together. all of us if we can't come together to find solutions then we are not going anywhere and hate and violence progresses nothing. jillian: major gregory and officer robinson was shot last week during protests over the grand jury decision in the broornted case. a hot mic appears to catch pennsylvania governor tom wolf and a state representative laughing about wearing face masks. just take a listen to this. >> wendy, i'm going to take my mask off while i speak.

ainsley, the vice president. ainsley: second debate for presidential election, i hope they learn from mistakes from the past and hopefully you don't have to put these rules in place for talking about a mute button and all this stuff. do you think they have learned that they won't interrupt. steve: the president said he got great reviews for that and members of the campaign said they won't change a thing. brian: i will add this to it too, it's going to be different. interacting with audience members. are they undecided voters or like the george stephanopoulos or anderson cooper voters that love joe biden. also the fact that the moderate e -- moderator interned for joe biden. the second debate.

fantastic. steve: there can be a mute button. apparently the commission on presidential debates upset that it was so interruptry. they will change the structure. we don't know what that means exactly. different amounts of time or gigantic mute button. there's no muting the candidates yesterday, here they are talking about the day before as they try to get you to vote for them. >> they say that we, we, all of us won big last night. i held joe biden accountable for 47 years of lies, 47 years of betrayal and 47 years of failure. i held joe accountable for shipping jobs and vowing to the violent mob. biden lost badly when supporters

say they should cancel rest of the debates. >> maybe i shouldn't say this but the president of the united states conducted himself the way he did, i think it was just a national embarrassment. ainsley: so president trump's communication's director tim murdoch, biden interrupted trump and wallace 67 times. trump interrupted biden and wallace 145 times, but if you also look at the first half of the debate, joe biden said that trump was a liar, a clown, told him to shut up and just before the debate, sources close to the biden campaign told fox news that the vice president wasn't going to engage in personal attacks or respond to any insults. brian: i'm not sure that really went his way. congressman kevin mccarthy,

leader mccarthy talked about how the rule changes aren't going to be embraced by the trump team. i didn't endorse rule changes. they are all going to be in the camp, the biden camp. listen to what leader mccartney worries about. >> you will run for the free leader of the world, we want to hear what you say but we will allow one person to moderate and determine what american people can hear from candidates, of course, they want to change the rules. anything that gives joe biden some type of advantage. and one thing i would say, don't put a mute button on joe biden, don't interrupt them. every time i watched him speaking he couldn't finish his sentence. you looked into his eyes. i've spent a lot of time with joe biden when he was vice president. this is not the same man. brian: and that is true. in retrospect when joe biden was left to explain himself he really couldn't and it's easy to pair what he's saying, if he

digs too much in the middle, the washington post wrote, he alienates the left. young people are not motivated to vote for him. i'm not doing the green new deal and not medicare for all and that's what young people want and that ticks them off. the other thing i would like to add is the president of the united states would do solid to clarify about white supremacy statement. whether the franticness of the night but a lot of people are forced to explain to it that have other things to do like, for example, try to get supreme court justice confirmed, steve. steve: indeed, amy coney barrett was up on capitol hill yesterday, democrats are still furious. they do not want somebody seated and a vote taken before the election. chuck schumer made it very clear yesterday there was an all

ultimatum. >> dc already has voted for it and love to make them states an as for the filibuster, i'm not busting my chops to become majority leader to do very little or nothing. we will get a whole lot done and as i said everything, everything is on the table. steve: he's got a lot of things, but would they really do it. they are going forward, the republicans are. cardinal doland and he was talking about amy coney barrett, the cardinal, she takes her catholic faith seriously and that's not why she was nominated as justice for the supreme court. i think she's nominated because she's the best candidate around according to the cardinal and some senators in capitol hill.

>> i just pray that this moment does not tear our country apart. i honestly am in awe as mother of 3 and grandmother of 7, if i get all 7 of my grandchildren in a room together, i can only last about half an hour. she's living with 7 children and doing it quite well. >> i have total confidence in her. it's going to be a tough process. the women are just naturally strong. >> folks, this is what a mom can do. ainsley: the point of that is they are all moms, these are all female senators and all leaders in the country. they do support women's rights, they might have differing opinions on abortion and things like that, but when you look at ruth bader ginsburg, i encourage you to watch the movie, fabulous about what she did for women. she changed 150 plus laws for women, women couldn't get a credit card without their husband's permission. they weren't allowed to be

minors, so there are so many things that even conservative women believe that ruth bader ginsburg did for our country and for women and breaking that glass ceiling, but katie pavlich say why aren't women sticking together on this. she calls the double standard. listen to this. >> we heard for decades that democrats are the party that are supportive of women and as amy coney barrett, judge barrett, goes around capitol hill, trying to meet with senators to show her record and qualifications, not because she's a women but based on history in judicial system and professor, you know, we are seeing that they have no interest in supporting her. it's becoming clearer than ever that the democratic party is only interested in supporting certain kinds of ambitious and successful women and those kinds of women happen to hold progressive, leftist values. ainsley: katie wrote an article

in the hill and she talked about how barrett said our children obviously make our life very full and she goes onto say, she's known at home as room parent. i guess at school, carpool, driver and byrd party planner. brian, to your point about the president with the white supremacist comment, tim scott from the great state of south carolina, the only black senator that is a republican and he said he think that is the president misspoke and he does think that the president should correct it and clarify it. brian: hopefully they will get together on that. you have the president going back to 1980's condemning white supremacists, david duke and all those people, just say it out loud. meanwhile, one of the stories that came out of the debate was out of nowhere joe biden said all the wall street -- all the wall street farms support my plan and it's better on running the country. i didn't know that all firms spoke on one topic.

we never had a chance to hear any of that back and forth because of the interruptions. robert johnson heard enough. i think he's one of the first african-american billionaires in this country and he said, listen, i'm not going to endorse the president but i've heard enough to know i will go with him. >> where i come out as a businessman, i will take the devil i know over the devil i don't know any time of the week. and that seems to be what business people are confronting today. the more you know about who will be pulling the levers of economic growth, economic development, taxes, stimulus, regulation. in my opinion you're better dealing with somebody that you know where they're going to be than somebody you really have no idea what decisions they will make at such a critical time. i absolutely do not know what

vice president biden will do. i haven't heard anything coherent out of what he said he will do. brian: and that is true. i tell you one thing, if he wants to finance his programs he will have to go to defense department to get the money. i don't know how the military men and women are saying to themselves joe biden has got the plan i like if you're in the pentagon, get ready, they'll be charging you for your staples soon. jillian, you have the latest news. jillian: that's right, good morning, a convicted felon is charged with attempted murder in the shooting of two los angeles county deputies outside a train station last night, deante lee murray has pleaded not guilty. >> a motive for why he -- >> other than the fact that he obviously hates policemen and wants them dead, not specifically. jillian: la county sheriff's

office says murray was in custody in connection to a carjacking, the sheriff's office sharing photos of the deputies reacting to the arrest with a thumbs up, both deputies are out of the hospital and recovering. overnight, secretary of state mike pompeo meets with vatican officials after being denied a meeting with the pope. secretary pompeo urged the vatican to join the u.s. in denouncing china for religious freedom violations and the meeting comes as vatican comes to negotiations with beijing to extend an agreement of nominating bishops in china. the vatican said it denied because pontiff does not meet with political leaders during campaign. the leak weakening up astronauts in the middle of the night. they scrambled to find leak and trace today russian side of iss, nasa says it does not pose a threat to anyone on board.

hard. tell us what happened. >> i came in just before 8:00 o'clock and when i got there there was garbage from the left all the way to the right where the outdoor dining is and it wasn't just garbage, it was everywhere as if there was an explosion of garbage. recyclables, any kind of food, there was a bed frame, it was a mess. ainsley: why -- why was there so much garbage? >> well, when i made the video i didn't really know what happened. i know that the garbage was put out. we have to put out our garbage on a daily basis and this was residential. i don't know if it was from the left side of the buildings or the right side or a combination because now with the outdoor dining, it's sort of like where do business owners and the

residents put their garbage and looked like someone had illegal dumped when i called 311, that's what they had told me that possibly it was that. ainsley: when you got out there, i'm sure with gloves on, you pick up all the trash and you notify the city for sanitation to come and pick it up. did they ever come? >> so, you know, i called sanitation because i wasn't really sure what that process would be and they opened a ticket so that we wouldn't get a fine because sanitation was going to come by and said that they would try to get someone to come by and help us and we wanted to know how many garbage bags were out there. they couldn't give me a time frame, so it really is -- i had to clean it up. ainsley: i was shocked to see the numbers. the city has cut 106 million from the sanitation department. i understand the commissioner quit. this is reducing trash pickup in

the city by 60%, that's so much especially in a city with so many people. how is this affecting your business with the shutdowns? >> it's just a continuation of the trickle-down effect from this pandemic, you know, budget cuts and and police and what's happening is there's an uptick, i don't know if it's lack of regard for people, businesses, more homelessness, people more desperate and that trickle-down effect, again, another element what business owners have to contend with on top of, you know, the -- the food costs, rent and paying staff. now we have garbage not really being picked up. ainsley: you know, we are all going through this in different

ways but when you have everything against you feel like and then you get to your office or your work and you see all the trash, you're like, what more -- how much more can i take? are you going to be able to sustain your business or stay open? >> yeah, we stayed open. we don't have any intention of closing and, you know, this was a setback but, again, you know, as a business owner, you just keep rolling with the punches. we do what we have to do. ainsley: that's right. you need a birth cake for your kids or cupcakes or anything in the area, sugar sweet sunshine bakery. it's a delicious place and we really appreciate you coming on. we wish you all the best. god bless you. >> thank you, be well. ainsley: you too. former fbi director's fussy memory frustrating senators as they grilled him on the russia probe. >> i don't recall being informed of that. i don't remember ever being told anything like that. >> you don't seem to know anything about an investigation that you ran.

understand what we know on face value. nothing that he said yesterday added degree of confidence or believe his account which had been severely undermined over previous hearings on this including conversations with sally yates. brian: we will find out what's going to happen. senator, another major story happening, people want to say i'm going to vote for president trump, i will vote for vice president biden, what's the big deal, power switches? there are indication that is our country will never look the same if democrats are able to get the white house, hold the house and the senate. what will change senator: on day one i think they will nuke filibuster and violate rules of the senate in order to get of long-standing rule in order to get to a final vote to get debate to a close on a particular legislative matter. you have to have 60 votes. get rid of that and take it to simple majority. next, they will add at least a

couple of states, district of colombia and puerto rico giving them four additional democratic seats in the united states senate. then they will probably pack the supreme court as joe biden himself refused to dispute his plan to do that on national television just the other night. those 3 things taken together, setting aside everything else they might do about increasing taxes, setting aside anything they might do on the green new deal or other horrible things. those three things just taken alone will fundamentally change the course of history and not in a good way. brian: they could get -- add seats to the house? >> yes, yes. absolutely. and see, what happens is, once you set in motion the sequence of events, you can go decades with one party rule, with one party rule under a party that has given itself increasingly to the far-left progressive socialist agenda, it's going to change our economy and in ways that we should find very

distressing. brian: senator knows the history as well as anybody in washington for you, this is a message that has to get out. this isn't just a change of power, it's a change of the foundation of how we are governed. senator: yeah, that's exactly right. they are trying to change the form, the system, the structure of our government. once you do that, you end up in some really troubled territory. about 80 or so years ago, there was a party that seized power in méxico, called the pri, the partido revolucionario. the party stayed in party for the better part of a century. i fear that's where we can be headed here. brian: i don't think that came out on the debate last night but it really should the other night. thank you, senator. joe biden playing down antifa during first presidential debate. >> antifa is an organization --

an idea and -- brian: david rueben live next. all in one disposable pad. just vacuum, spray mop, and toss. the shark vacmop, a complete clean all in one disposable pad.

steve: all right, the mall of america is helping small businesses that were looted in minneapolis during george floyd's death. ainsley: store owner who lost everything, grady. reporter: good morning, steve, ainsley and brian, it was an unoccupied retail space of businesses impacted by the

violence followed death of george floyd as well as pandemic. joy sanders is one of those business owners, urban 29 is your store, tell me what happened back in may. >> back in may urban 29 was affected by the civil unrest and looted and burned. reporter: and you lost everything in that? >> yes, i lost everything. reporter: at the time did you think there would be a second chance? >> no. it's hard to say. when everything goes up in smoke, you don't know what's going to happen after that. reporter: and now you have the second chance. at the mall of america, the biggest mall in the country, it's a pretty big deal for you. >> it is pretty big deal and i'm excited and great opportunity. i'm glad. reporter: what does it mean for you as a business owner? >> the opportunity to continue my dreams and goals and move forward. reporter: best of luck to you, this will be at the mall of america until spring of next

year and it's really a blueprint that could be used at malls across the country that have opened retail space. steve: great idea. grady, thank you. brian: appreciate it. meanwhile president trump outraged after president trump refers to antifa as ideal rather than an actual organization. >> antifa is a real problem because the problem is on the left and biden refuses to talk about it. he refuses to issue the word law and order. he's got to condemn antifa, antifa is a bad group. brian: our next guest has had firsthand experience, here to explain host of the ruben show, antifa is more of an ideology. and the president immediately tweeted back, i don't think so, they got radios, bats and bricks, they have an organization. what have you found out, dave? >> yeah, well, an idea doesn't burn down buildings, an idea

doesn't throw molotov cocktails at people and the idea doesn't assault people on the street. people do that. if what joe biden is trying to say is that they don't have laminated business cards ready to hand out when they are doing these things, i suppose he's correct. i've done many public-speaking events, usually about free speech and free markets, capitalisms, good stuff, no bigotry, no racism or hatred involved and antifa has shown up and pulled fire alarms. there's a video that i put a twitter a couple of times where an elderly woman in a walker trying to cross the street and they are screaming at her calling her nazi. it turns out that her husband fought the nazis in world war ii. these are bad people and by design they are decentralized, so when biden is saying they are an idea is because he's afraid that so much of his base, radical base is actually in line

with antifa and if he says something about them, they will end upcoming for him. steve: yeah, i've heard that as well. dave, you're out in los angeles and apparently a number of your hollywood neighbors are trying to boost the vote, not in california, but in texas because they are helping the democrats there fund-raise in texas, tell us what's going on. >> yeah, you know, i decided to stay in california becausely stay and fight because i believe in the union, that i believe we can have separate states, but that we have a wider country of united states of america and the same people who have recked california, particularly wrecked san francisco, a lot of them are moving to texas, they will turn it blue and voting on the same policies that wrecked this place. the idea that they would fundraise in a place without

being there, the silver lining is nobody is listening to hollywood celebrities anymore and with good reason. they have proven time and again to be hypocrites and, you know, the more that they put themselves out there and say this is how you should live, the more we tune out because when i turn on apple tv or i'm looking for a movie, if i see a movie that's somebody that's been lecturing me about social justice or about socialism or whatever it might be, it's like i usually pass on it and i think a lot of people are doing it and that's not why it's entertainment, sports ratings collapsing and television ratings collapsing and people are cutting the cord and these are not disconnected, people don't want to be lectured. people want to live their lives. ainsley: dave, when i was in school we all had to buy the book, ap style book, i've had in every job that i've been on and you're trying to write a press relee, article for a newspaper or write a script, it teaches you when to capitalize words,

when not to, it teaches you when to write out a number or when to use the numerical form, so the style book, the ap style book recently -- they tweeted out on tuesday saying to use care when you're using the wort riot, up for a milder word maybe like unrest, they said that riot can have a negative racial connotation and we remember a while back, don't use illegal immigrant, use undocumented. what do you think about the recent advice? >> well, i want to get this stylistically right. it's completely bananas. i have the ap style book behind me as well. i don't consider myself a journalist. i tell people what i think for a living, but this literarily and people don't use the word literally correctly, this is literally 1984 news that we will change the meaning of words so that no one will be able to have a sensible conversation with anyone. we know what riots are, when you

turn on the tv and you see some of the things i talked about earlier with molotov cocktails and small businesses burning down and people assaulting people in their cars and blocking traffic and all those things, those are riots. why are they trying to change words? they are trying to change words so that you can't calibrate, you won't be able to have a conversation with your neighbor because your language won't even be the same and the more they can cut us off from each other, this is by design, changing words. it start with changing words and next thing you know, you can't talk to other people and paranoid and the rest of it and it's dangerous. this is -- this is really -- these are the same people, by the way, who will tell you that violence is not violence, but somehow words are violence. ainsley: it was published in 1998, the word is not even in the book. brian: very interesting. i will say this, 150 have been hurt with this -- in these -- in

this unrest as opposed to riots. and the 470nypd officials, they were now hurt in unrests rather than riots. i'm sure they feel a lot better now. appreciate it. >> they have a lot of support. you may not see it but they have a ton of support here. brian: thanks so much, dave. steve: his book is called don't burn this book. [laughter] brian: it's not yours, steve, it's ainsley's. here is jillian. jillian: good morning, let's begin with fox news alert, weekly jobless claims results, 837,000 people filed for unemployment last week, that's slightly less than what was predicted. more than 62 million americans have filed for unemployment since the pandemic started in march. new york city mayor bill de blasio says nypd officer who is don't wear masks should be punished. >> officers should be held to the same standard as all citizens, all public servants. our officers should be wearing

their masks and if they don't, there should be penalties, it's as simple as that. jillian: the mayor didn't say what the penalties would be but he added that most officers do wear masks. california governor gavin newsom signing a law establishing a tax to study reparations, the panel would determine what type of compensation if any should be awarded to the descendants of slaves. the task force may also recommend how the state legislature could formally apologize for human rights against african slaves and descendants. carolina panthers with free game tickets, watch this. >> unfortunately we haven't been able to have fans at our games this year, but that's changing this week, so i want to formally invite you guys to be some of the first people to come into the stadium this year this sunday. jillian: very cool. start runningback who by the way is injured right now and team owner tapper clashing virtual
