maria: mr. president, we so appreciate your time, sir. thank you very much. president donald j. trump. that is it for "sunday morning futures." the conversation eric: well, we are getting our first k at what supreme court nominee amy coney barrett will be telling the senate judiciary committee tomorrow when the confirmation hearings open at 9 eastern time in washington d.c. in her prepared opening, judge barrett will tell the senators that courts should not try to make policy. she will tell them the judicial system is not designed to, quote, right every wrong in our public life. this is a brand new hour of "america's news headquarters." hello, everyone, welcome. i'm eric shawn. arthel: i'm arthel neville. after her opening statement the, judge barrett will face hours of questioning through tuesday and wednesday and it's expected to get heated. republicans pushing to confirm

barrett before election day as the high court prepares to the hear a major chong to the affordable care act. >> she has been commended by liberals and conservatives just because she is just a phenomenal jurist. and so they are really struggling to find fault with this nomination. >> well, i'm gown to be laying out -- going to be laying out the ways in which judge barrett's views, her views on reaching back and reconsidering and overturning long-settled precedent, are not just extreme, they're disqualifying. arthel: david spunt has a look ahead at tomorrow's hearing. david? >> reporter: a busy week ahead. republicans in the senate want to transform judge amy coney barrett into justice amy coney barrett as soon as possible. if confirmed, she would be the fifth woman to sit on the hue court. president trump wants to get this confirmation through as soon as possible. he wants barrett to be on the

bench by election day. this hearing begins tomorrow morning. expect several important topics to be discussed. some of those, abortion, gun rights, immigration and health care. democrats are expected to focus heavily on health care during barrett's hearing. her views on the affordable care act well known. is she's no fan, and that worries democrats who are concerned that republicans want to get rid of the aca in the middle of a pandemic. listen. >> when i spoke with a constituent here in delaware last week, someone with a pre-existing condition, she said i thought this was settled. i thought years ago that the supreme court upheld the affordable care act. i said, that's right. >> reporter: meanwhile, republicans argue that the president has every right to appoint a supreme court justice while he's serving as the president. >> when she puts on her black robe in the morning, she knows what it is to be a judge, and that is to cloak your personal preferences. our judges don't wear red or blue jerseys, they don't advocate for policy positions. >> reporter: fox news obtained barrett's opening statement.

part of it, quote: when i write an opinion resolving a case, i read every word from the perspective of the losing party. i ask myself how would i view the decision if one of my children was the party i was ruling against. even though i would not like the result, i understand the decision was fairly reasoned and grounded in the law. and to top it all off, just one week after the election the justices -- presumably with barrett on the bench -- will hear arguments about the merits of the affordable care act. artheling? arthel: a david spunt, thank you. >> well, the doctors, the white house doctors, as you know, are the best, and they said totally free of spreading, there's no spread. and there wasn't yesterday either. i'm not on any med caution, and the medications that i took were standard, pretty much routine other than the one which is a miracle. eric: president trump had a lot to say, and he was sounding off when he called this to "sunday

morning futures" this morning to talk with maria bartiromo saying he is now immune from coronavirus. his doctors say that the president is now symptom-free, and he can return to the campaign trail, and he plans to do just that. starting tomorrow with a rally in sanford, florida. mark meredith is live on the north lawn of the white house with more on the president's telephone call and his plans ahead. hey, mark. >> reporter: good afternoon. president trump says he's feeling much bettering very eager to get back out on the road, and one of the things that we're used to seeing him do before his coronavirus diagnosis, tweeting. quote: a total and complete sign-off from the white house doctors yesterday, that means i am immune and can't give it. very nice to know. as you see, hundreds of supporters showing up in massings to hear from him. she was speaking from a -- he

was speaking from a balcony away from the crowd. the president told fox news earlier today he does feel great. >> i have to tell you, i feel fantastically, i really feel good. and i even feel good by the fact that, you know, the word immunity means something. having, having really a protective glow. it means something. >> reporter: the president also has a busy week of travel ahead of him now that he's feeling better. it all starts tomorrow with a rally in sanford, florida, pennsylvania on tuesday and wednesday a rally in des moines, iowa, all battleground states. meantime, congress and the white house remain deadlocked over how best to come up with another economic stimulus package. we've seen house speaker nancy pelosi negotiating one-on-one with treasury secretary steve mnuchin. pelosi called it one step forward and two steps back. now we know the white house wants to try another approach,

essentially getting money from the paycheck protection president program that's still sitting there. secretary mnuchin writes, quote: now is the time to come together and immediately vote on a bill to allow or suspend the unused paycheck protection program funds while we continue to work towards a comprehensive package. now, speaker pelosi has said repeatedly she does not want to do one small package line by lewin. instead, they're trying to do something comprehensive. the president has changed his views quite a bit. last week he tweeted he dud not want to see anything negotiated until after the election and then only a few years later, it was time to go back to the negotiating time. now they want to go through the paycheck protection program, essentially e ea starting it with money that's already been set aside. we'll see how congress reacts this week. eric: a lot more on that later in this newscast. arthel? arthel: former vice president hammering president trump,

accusing hum of downplaying the coronavirus and blaming him for the economic fallout from the pandemic. mr. biden returning home to delaware after a hard push in key battleground states. let's go to jacqui heinrich. she's live in wilmington, delaware. >> reporter: yeah, arthel. joe biden seems to be kind of focusing his attention on states president trump won last cycle. his strategists are thinking it's one of two things, maybe a little bit of both, either that he sees a viable path there, or it's a ploy or a push, rather, to push the campaign's focus back to those areas and off of areas that might be more winnable for biden. tomorrow biden's making two stops in ohio which president trump won by 8 points. until recently, ohio hadn't been a big focus of the biden cam main, instead, they -- campaign. instead focusing on michigan and pennsylvania. it's similar to his trip last week in arizona which president trump also won last cycle and which biden's campaign ramped up

spending most recently featuring ads with cindy mccain. she takes several jabs at president trump. >> joe biden's dedicated his life to this country and working across the aisle to get things done. joe will always fight for the american people. just like john did. >> reporter: later this week the spotlight's back on pennsylvania where biden's participating in a town hall after the second debate, which was a town hall format, was canceled. biden's been eager to take questions from the voters after the commission announced they would not be changing the format of a third debate to a town hall. his campaign explained again this morning. >> this is a distraction that they want to throw out. this is a hypothetical that they want to throw out to distract from the fact that they are trying to ram through a nominee who, as i said, is going to change the makeup of the court against the will of the american

people. they don't want to talk about that, so they are trying to create a distraction and, you know, send folks down a rabbit hole. >> reporter: now, biden maintains that focus should be on what republicans are doing right now, not on what he might do or might not do if he is elected. however, his critics say that his silence on this issue indicates he wants to keep all options on the table. in the past, he has expressed opposition to the idea of court packing, but we haven't gotten that answer out of him recently. back to you with. arthel: jacqui heinrich in wilmington, delaware, thanks. eric? eric: president trump happens to be attacking his own attorney general. this after william with barr reportedly told republicans that they will have to wait until after the election. the for u.s. attorney john durham to release his findings in the investigation of the russia probe. alex hogan as has more. >> reporter: this has lingered throughout trump's presidency,

and republicans had hoped to see the origins of the russia probe before election day which is now just 22 days away. the original investigation started in 2016. the mueller report finding no criminal conspiracy between the trump campaign and russia, but it did find russia interference in the election benefiting donald trump. it's been a year and a half into connecticut attorney john durham's probe. so far there's been one arrest, and that was of an fbi lawyer who pleaded guilty to altering a government e-mail. president trump calling out attorney general bill barr saying it is an embarrassment and a disgrace that the findings would not be released until after the election. the president's long said he thinks former president barack obama used his power to look into whether trump asked for russian help in 2016. attorney general barr has said neither obama or presidential candidate joe biden are under criminal investigation. last week director of national intelligence john ratcliffe declassified some documents mentioning hillary clinton.

critics accusing ratcliffe of cherry-picking information to benefit the republican party. the president speaking on the phone to fox today saying more documents will come out shortly. >> documents are being released at a level now that nobody's ever seen before. things that nobody thought were going to get are released have been released, and you're seeing it. you're seeing it all the time. you're seeing what's going on. we caught them cold. we have them cold. >> reporter: now, when it comes to the findings of the durham investigation into the origins of the russian probe, the department of justice says that there's no timeline on that just yet. eric? eric: yeah, not just no report, but no indictments by election day. alex, thank you. arthel? arthel: well, fox news alert, police in denver arresting a private security guard working for a tv station. he is suspected of the shooting death of a person who was reportly part of dueling protests saturday.

christina coleman's life in our los angeles bureau with the details. >> reporter: hi, arthel. well, the suspect is now identified by police as 30-year-old matthew goa, he is being held on a first-degree murder charge. he was working as a private security guard for a the -- tv station at the time of the shooting. it's a fairly common practice for tv stations to hire security. police did mention that he had no affiliation with antifa. and photos show the suspect and the victim prior to the shooting, the sound of a single gunshot was also captured on several videos. >> i think it's important to be able to -- [gunfire] our free speech -- >> [inaudible] [bleep] >> reporter: now, this all happened in downtown denver yessed what was billed as a, quote, patriot rally and a black

lives matter antifa protest. the man participating sprayed mace at a man who then shot him with a handgun. a journalist for the denver post reportedly witnessed the incident. the man who was shot lauter died at a nearby hospital. police say a verbal altercation happened before the shooting. two guns and a mace can were recovered from the scene. police did not identify the victim, and deny very tv station 9 news -- denver tv station posted on their web site, quote: the private security guard in custody was contracted by 9 news. it has been the practice of 9 news for a number of months to contract private security to accompany staff at protests. prior to the shooting, law enforcement also had a heavy presence at the dueling protests. >> there was a large presence because we had two groups with opposing views, and we know that can always get very tense. there's always potential for violence. we had a large contingent there

to try the watch the egress of one group so that the other group wouldn't intermingle with them. >> reporter: also investigators do have police surveillance video of the incident. it remains under investigation. arthel? arthel: thanks, christina coal match, in los angeles. eric: back in washington, democratic senators indicate they will try to score some political points tomorrow at supreme court nominee amy coney barrett's hearing. a preview of what she will say and the senators will ask straight ahead on fox news channel. ♪ chocolate would be good... snacking should be sweet and simple. the delicious taste of glucerna gives you the sweetness you crave while helping you manage your blood sugar. with nutrients to help support immune health. >> tech: every customer has their own safelite story. this couple was on help a camping trip... ...when their windshield got a chip. they drove to safelite for a same-day repair.

eric: the senate confirmation hearingr supreme court nominee judge amy coney barrett starts tomorrow morning, and it appears to be a lock, of course, because the republicans control the senate. that doesn't mean that democrats won't give her a grilling, suggesting they may use the hearings to score points with voters before the election. >> we want -- that is her view on the affordable care act. eric: so what can we expect? john decker is the fox news

radio white house correspondent and also an attorney. so, john with, i mean, right out of the gate she's released part of the opening statement, and she says, quote: the policy decision and value judgments of government must be made by the political branches, not the court. sounds like she's the neutral umpire standard. do you think the democrats are going to buy that? >> based on what we just heard from senator hirono, the answer is no. they want to energize their base ahead of the november election. and two issue, eric, that they believe can energize the debate are the issues of abortion and also health care, specifically the future of the affordable care act. i think that's where democrats who sit on the judiciary committee over the course of the next four days are going to concentrate most of their questions, on those two particular issues and whether or not whether or judge barrett cae her personal views from the issues she may hold as a federal judge. eric yeah. the senator mentioned obamacare.

now, judge barrett has expressed reservations that chief justice roberts appropriately applied the law, so she's going into this issue i'm opposed to what the chief justice decided. >> she said that, eric, when she was a private citizen, when she was a tenured professor at the university of notre dame law school. she hasn't made that type of determination as a judge on the federal bench on the seventh circuit court of appeals. so what judge barrett is likely to say when asked about that is those are the views that she may have, may hold as a private citizen, but she will judge the constitution as a textualist, as an originalist, and as a result, her personal views should not impact the way she views from the bench. eric: of course, there's the issue of roe v. wade. she has expressed opposition to abortion in the past. a member of the right to life faculty of notre dame university, notre dame. and here's what she signed on

to, there was an advertisement in the south bend newspaper back in 2006. she was one of the people who signed it. this is what it said, quote: we, the following citizens, oppose abortion on demand and defend the right the life from fertilization to natural death. please continue to pray to end abortion. she certainly will be asked about that and if they will impact her rulings. >> she will, and she signed on to a similar type of ad which ran in 2013, again, when judge barrett was not a judge yet. she was a tenured professor on the university of notre dame law school. so what i think you're going to see from certain democrats -- not everyone, but certain democrats -- on the judiciary committee is a focus on what you just read and why she felt it necessary to sign on to those two political advertisements. but it's also important to remember, eric, that the issue of abortion cuts both ways.

the issue of abortion motivates and energizes the evangelical base that is such a strong part of the president's base. it also motivates at the same time, and we saw this in 2018, those suburban women who helped hand the house back in control of the democrats in 2018 in the midterm elections. it's interesting to see how this issue will play out over the course of the next four days. eric: and broadly, in terms of judicial philosophy, she follows antonin scalia. she clerked for him. this is what she wrote and is expected to say tomorrow, quote: i felt like i knew the justice before i ever met him because i had ready so many of his colorful, accessible opinions. more than the style of his writing though, it was the content of justice scalia's reasoning that shaped me, and here's what she said two weeks ago at the rose garden ceremony about antonin scalia. >> i clerked for justice ski

scalia more than 20 years ago, but the lessons i learned still resonate. his judicial philosophy is mine too. a judge must apply the law as written. judges are not policymakers, and they must be resolute in setting aside any policy views they might hold. eric: to you expect her, john, finally, to echo and be very similar to the late justice. >> oh, absolutely. this is the reason, eric, why president trump nominated her. he, too, views justice scalia in the same way that judge barrett does, and you're likely to hear that same philosophy, i should say, eric, expressed during the course of the next four days. eric: all right, john, great to have you there. thank you so much, and we shall see, of course. >> have a great day. eric: i'll be anchoring the hearings live on fox stations, so check your local listings starting at 9 a.m. on your local fox station. we'll have a lot more about this later on in the newscast too.

arthel? arthel: eric, i will watch you, and i'll be watching the fox news channel, because you can also catch judge amy coney barrett's confirmation right here as well. the coverage is going to begin tomorrow at 9 a.m. eastern. we're going to be right back. ♪ ♪ ♪ smooth driving pays off with allstate, the safer you drive the more you save you never been in better hands allstate click or call for a quote today i'm a talking dog. the other issue. oh...i'm scratching like crazy. you've got some allergic itch with skin inflammation. apoquel can work on that itch in as little as 4 hours, whether it's a new or chronic problem. and apoquel's treated over 8 million dogs.

an additional 20,000 deaths by the end of october alone. and get this, in just the last seven days, 11 states have reported the most covid-19 cases in a week than they have ever since the pandemic. eric? eric: all right, charles, thanks so much. and a quick correction, i a moment ago said that the teenager who was shot and killed by police in milwaukee, he was armed, not unarmed. i apologize. arthel? arthel: a well, eric, it has been nearly nine months since the first coronavirus case was diagnosed and treated inside the continental united states. so what has the medical community learned about covid since then? let's ask the doctor who treated that very first patient back in january outside seattle. dr. george diaz is the section chief of infectious diseases at providence regional medical center in everett, washington. doctor, thanks so much for join ing us. tell us how diagnosis,

treatment, knowledge about the virus has advanced in nine months. >> well, thank you for having me, arthel. the treatment of covid has improved significantly since we first treated our first patient here back in january. we now know that remdesivir, dexamethasone are treatments, they both have shown benefit in treating patients. and the people that come into the hospital with severe disease, meaning they need oxygen treatment with both agents is usually employed. that being said, it's still a scary infection. we still have people going into the icu and dying from severe disease. we are learning more about how to treat this infection. there's a number of clinical trials that we're working on. most recently, there was a lot of news about the cocktail the president received. that is in clinical trials, and initial data is encouraging that may be helpful to releave symptoms and, hopefully, the need for hospitalization if used

early. we also know that there are patients who have progressed with the disease and go on and die and -- [inaudible] the response in patients. we're looking at a number of other therapies to use in those patients to try to reduce the mortality in the most severely ill. and the way that we're using treatments is looking at doses that modulate the immune system to reduce the inflammatory response, especially of the lung. in our health system, for example, we're looking at quite a few modulators. we're looking at the combination of -- [inaudible] so far very early shows that it's promising for mortality in people on a ventilator. those reports were published recently. so there's a lot of work to be done, but we are doing a number

of clinical trials. those in early disease and people that, for example -- [inaudible] modulators. arthel: doctor, i'm not sure if you can pull your computer closer to you or what, it seems a little bit like you're in some sort of a tunnel, and i'm dying to hear precisely what you're saying. i'll move on to my next question. you know, based on what doctors and scientists know right now, you just hate out for -- laid out for us, do you know or do you feel you're closer to a safe, effective vaccine, or and how soon will that come to market for the masses? >> well, there's a number of vaccine trials going on right now. we're hopeful that there will be data coming out soon about the effect of this vaccine, of these vaccines as new data comes out. realistically, you know, there will be time required to be able to produce it so that all americans can receive the vaccine -- arthel: so when we might be

automobile to receive it? i'm sorry. able to receive it? >> so i would imagine that it would be available widely probably sometime in june or july. i would imagine that it would probably be available for first responders and hospital earlier than that hopefully. arthel: right. >> so that they could be treated first. arthel: before we go, just have a question for you because i want to know when reporters like me, when we present information about this deadly infectious nature of coronavirus, is that being hyperbolic? >> no, it's not. this is a deadly disease. there are hospitalizations for patients with covid rising. i was talking to my friend who's the president of the oklahoma -- [inaudible] association, and there they're breaking records nearly daily on hospitalizations with covid. and they're having to transfer patients from one hospital to hospitals far away because of lack of beds in the icu and in

the hospital. so this is still a very serious, deadly disease, and we still have a long ways to go to get on top of this. arthel: well, dr. george diaz, thank you for being on top of it despite the mere fact of having that patient come to you back there in january, and he is, he did survive and is still here with us, so that's good to report. dr. diaz, thank you so much for joining us. >> thank you very much. arthel: eric? eric: yeah, that is very encouraging. president trump heading back to the campaign trail. what we can expect when he goes to florida tomorrow. ♪ muck built just for customers 55 and up. saving 50% vs. other carriers with 2 unlimited lines for less than $30 each. call 1-800-t-mobile or go to t-mobile.com/55.

later, don't worry about that. this happens. [laughter] >> i'm so sorry. eric: that's okay. you know, but does the fact that he had coronavirus, has had coronavirus -- we don't know if he's negative. they won't say that. he says he's symptom-free. the doctors say he's symptom-free. does that remind everyone of the 200,000 plus americans who have died from this, the horrible tragedies that have cut through our country and continue to do so and make it even worse this -- and may get even worse this winter? >> right. i think that it's an interesting thing. i was about to say before that interruption was when i was out in arizona in a deeply purple state, big battleground state, on thursday, i walked to voters of all political stripes, and it didn't seem like his catching the virus really changed their opinion much. republicans were admitting that they were concerned that he wasn't taking the virus seriously, but they also were

saying that this didn't really change their point of view. they felt like the alternative was very upsetting to them, that the biggest line that i from the pence rally that i attended, the biggest applause line was when they said that trump was going to keep america america and that they were worried about the rioting and the suburban women that i spoke to were also very concerned about the riots and the looting and the law and order message that trump was sending. so there are very few undecided people at this point. i think it's very difficult to read them from the polls. we're seeing an increase in biden polls on the national level, but i'm not sure that's translating to these ballotground states, and that's what's most important in terms of winning. eric: he'll be going to battleground states, and one of the things that he's focusing on is the economy interrupted by coronavirus. and he accused joe biden and the

harris ticket of wanting to, basically in his words, take america and make it venezuela, talking about socialism and economic issues and tax issues. take a listen to one part of what he said to maria bart to row mow earlier today -- bartiromo earlier today. >> now instead of $2 gasoline are, you're going to be paying $6 gasoline. he wants to take cars away from people. the whole thing is insane, okay? it's insane. so how can the auto industry vote for a guy that wants to take your cars away? and he literally wants to take your cars away. eric: what is he talking about when he says that biden wants to take your car? >> well, i think he's, obviously, referring to the green new deal and all of the extreme measures in that particular proposal. kamala harris, as you know, was an original cosponsor of that with alexandria ocasio-cortez, so people are concerned about where he stands on that issue

and also the fracking issue. now, of course, you know, we're at the end of the campaign, there's a bunch of extreme rhetoric going on right now. it's the silly season. in terms of taking cars away right away, no, that's not what the biden campaign will be doing. but if you look at california and governor newsom where kamala's from, he recently said he is going to want to take certain people's cars away. they cannot drive their current cars, it's not fuel efficient. he just recently announced that, and that kind of puts them in a bind because it shows where the democratic party is heading. eric: we're going to hear a lot more about that starting tomorrow when he appears in sanford, florida, for a rally. susan crabtree, white house national political correspondent for real clear politics, thank you. arthel? >> thank you so much, eric. arthel: well, people on the gulf coast once again picking up the pieces after the second hurricane in six weeks.
