deflect but the truth is he will come out and point out why she was wrong and she won't be able to come back, she won't answer the questions. jillian: the vice president's style is very cold, coupland collected. we will see how it plays out. we appreciate it. 20 minutes after the hour, fiery protest in brooklyn after governor cuomo announces restrictions on neighborhoods with rising covid-19 cases. new york state assembly when doug-is furious, he joins us next.

those who are not obeying the rules, find them, at the local precinct, why penalize every one when most people are doing the right thing, why close many of these stores, they will go out and why penalize them in this fashion when following the rules, social distancing, there's a better way to do this. the governor talk the talk but look at his own behavior. jillian: you are saying what a lot of people feel, thank you for coming on and bringing passion to this discussion. 27 after the hour. as crime spikes in philadelphia and chicago, how important the law and order be during the vice

>> not providing them with access to do their job and when you do those things it will cause police officers, being afraid of being arrested, based on negative rhetoric, the training they need to support them, you see the crime rate go down. >> leading up to november 3rd, the vice presidential debate tonight. what do you want to hear from both sides? >> a recent monmouth paul, 65% of americans in this country,

spiking in major cities across the country. but we need to hear his clarification for law enforcement, it is an idea. ideas don't throw brexit officers head, they don't hit officers in the head with baseball bats or throw molotov cocktails, or assassinate police officers. antifa is terrorist and we need to make sure we are calling them by that name. vice president biden owes an apology to every law enforcement officer across the country, and the real threat antifa poses in the entire country. >> what does the country need to hear tonight? >> we need a stronger message of law and order.

being passive aggressive, to protect the citizens, pandering to the black community, if you talk to the black community, the issues happening in philadelphia, with murder rate out-of-control. to be in their communities to support them, killing people and doing drive-by shootings, i want to hear both sides make a strong stance that we will not put up with this garbage and be stronger or have the forefront of our message in the country. >> it is not just philadelphia and chicago, the crime spikes in new york city and other cities across the country.

>> looking at his entire career he came out of a delaware which in many ways, the world that michelle obama is afraid of. defendant segregated schools, defendant segregation, defendant the south in the civil war, defendant people who flew confederate flags, became a national liberal democrat who was weaned away from it. jillian: biden helped with a 1994 crime bill that disproportionately affected the black community. now to this. california's governor being mocked for urging people to put on their masks while eating at restaurants, take a look at this, close look at the picture, as part of gavin newsom's messaging, he wants diners to mask up in between bites to limit the spread of covid-19. as you can imagine comments are pouring in on this, joanne

>> reporter: kamala harris will try to press mike pence on the coronavirus. he is the leader of the white house task force, she will tie him back as much as possible to the number of infections and deaths in this country. she also has to prove her point. i'm looking for the 3 ps, the her her performance from both, policy and i will lead boys. harris needs to show herself as presidential, her composure. we've seen mike pence as a composed presidential figure in this administration and during the coronavirus task force. we will see how she does. mike pence will hit her really hard, tie her to her record based on her prosecutorial record and what she said in embracing the socialist policies. we will see that from him. jillian: that is where i was

going to go. how far is she going to go to prove that she's not as far left as her record indicates that you can't argue with someone's record. >> you can't. we will hear a lot of platitudes from her. we all want equality, we want to be treated equally. race is so important in america right now is important our labor policies or healthcare policies reflect that. i don't think she will go into a lot of detail which is great opportunity for mike pence to say wait a minute, what does that look like? may be then she can hold her feet to the fire and things like medicare for all, the green new deal, eliminating fracking, lots of these policies, labor policies where she embraces getting rid of independent contract work in california. if he can force her to provide details that is the opening. jillian: joe biden sat down to a

townhall and many critics said it is more like a biden campaign ad than an actual townhall debate. let's take a listen. >> 65% of americans think the president bears some responsibility for contracting the virus, do you agree? you told him to shut up novak djokovicz the clown. most people believe the president was interrupting you but donald trump will say you have had 50 years working in government and legislation and you weren't able to accomplish those things. carley: asking about his policies, rather questioning him on the issues. what is your reaction to that? >> i'm not surprised. a lot of people who are able to ask questions were leaning towards voting for him. those are not uninformed or undecided voters, people who had an agenda to push the campaign messaging. it is a disservice to the people

of florida and the people of america who wants to hear what he has to say about his record, vice president of candidates record and what they can do and hold the fire on a lot of policies that are very far left. he hasn't had that pushback from the media already and these townhall's are handpicking the question, does no good to the american people. jillian: thank you for your time, appreciate it. now to the story of the day. carley: 102-year-old chicago woman who cast her ballot in ppe is calling all americans to vote in the 2020 election, telling good morning america, quote, if i could come out at the age of 102 and face the pandemic to vote nobody should have an excuse. she sounds like a teacher because she was one. the retired teacher cast her first ballot in the 1940
