>> three events yesterday. two today for president trump as he crisscrosses america and ends up in las vegas this evening. welcome to america's news headquarter and no it's not an optical illusion. surprise. leland: we're here today. great to have you back. >> you, too, i forgot what you looked like only saw you through the monitor, great to be back. we're six feet, maybe a little bit, six feet and change in part we're healthy and cross that off the list and we're just ready to get going, right. leland: feels good. nice to be with you at home.

gillian: great to be with everybody at home. i'm gillian turner. later today president trump is going to make his way over to wisconsin. he has a hotly contested rice there and he begins in michigan where we find kevin corke. what are we looking at today? >> gillian. clearly we'll have a lot of folks for the rally and that's coming in later at 5 p.m. eastern time of course we'll have coverage for you. but it's very important to point this out. this is usually a democratic stronghold, right? well, that's before president trump ran back in 2016. back then he barely lost this county and that was in part because of his consistent message on trade, and on putting america first. that seemed to really resonate with voters here. while he didn't win the county, he got close and again, that message could be the difference in the tipping point, once again as he tries not only to win this county, but the state of michigan once again. 10,000 votes, a little bit more than that was the difference

between the president and his democratic challenger in 2016. and so the real question is, what will happen this time in 2020? clearly, both parties are campaigning very hard for support here in michigan because of that very tight margin back then. in fact, the president has been here four times already in 2020. now, the polls would have you believe that he is severely underwater here in michigan. at least according to the latest real clear average polls. real clear politics saying that joe biden is at plus 7 in its latest survey. however, i always like to point this out, keep in mind in this very week, back in 2016, hillary clinton was up by 11 points in michigan. a state that the president did win. so that should tell you a bit about the polls and perhaps a bit more about the silent trump support. we're seeing a lot of support here already as folks line up. we've got hours to go before the rally, but they're already here and i promise to be here as well. for now, gillian, welcome back

to the studio and back to you. gillian: thanks so much, kevin. great to be back here. stay warm. if you run into leland vittert's parents anywhere, tell them we sent our best. leland: a little chilly. it was snowing in michigan a couple of days ago. no wonder he'll head south. and joe biden is taking a break from the campaign trail. he was in michigan yesterday. and in delaware, where the vice-president is spending this afternoon, mark. >> good afternoon, a beautiful day in wilmington. the biden campaign closer to home, but as you mentioned they were on the road making campaign stops in the battle ground states including michigan last night. the former vice-president trying to rally workers outside of detroit in southfield in his remarks, and you were hearing from kevin, a lot of people are watching the biden campaign ahead by a few percentage points and he spoke with the

auto industry, and making automobiles more efficient and making his making his position clear. >> i'm not a fan of packing the court. we have to look how this works out. determining if there's other means to take a look and make sure this kind of thing doesn't happen. >> tomorrow, biden is making his way down south visiting durham north carolina and trying to take advantage of the state's early voting. already they're seeing massive turnout, and kamala harris is still back at home and she is doing events virtually after two people around her tested positive for coronavirus, including one staff member. both biden and harris continue to test negative for the virus. harris will be holding a virtual fundraiser this afternoon. we learned that she'll be back out on the trail on monday and

going to orlando and jacksonville as that state begins its voting. we'll expect to see another high profile name out on the campaign trail, former president barack obama campaigning on behalf of the biden-harris campaign on wednesday. leland: a lot of democrats thought he was quite effective when he campaigned during the dnc and on the stump for the biden-harris ticket then. mark meredith in william. we'll be back if we hear anything from the v p's camp. gillian: expecting to subpoena twitter ceo jack dorsey after his company ignited a firestorm and blocked out posts about hunter biden and ukraine and china. and live from the washington bureau plaza with more on that, lucas. >> gillian, the fbi is investigating whether russia released those e-mails from hunter biden. earlier today, the press secretary blasted twitter and

facebook for blocking access to the new york post story. >> this is what happens in north korea, in china, in iran. they censor voices and news organizations. it shouldn't happen in the united states of america. >> but some democrats disagree. >> well, look, i'm not here to defend all the decisions made by all the social media companies, but i hope we would all agree that we also don't want a social media company to become viral engines for lies and disinformation. >> in 2014 hunter biden had struggled with a drug addiction joined the board of the ukraine energy company burisma, and rudy giuliani says obtained by a repair shop, told hunter biden, quote, we urgently need your voice how you can use your

influence et cetera, to stop what we consider politically motivated actions. and they subpoena twitter owner dorsey and others friday. yesterday the twitter ceo admitted he made an error, straight blocking of links was wrong and we updated our policy and enforcement to fix. our goal is an attempt to add context and now we have the capability of doing that. >> it's been going on for years. this year they declared open war, and my message to the oligarchy is pimp he will, winter is coming. >> over 90% on twitter and face have donated to democrats this year. gillian: lucas tomlinson, thank you. leland: this has launched a new rally cry for president trump's supporters. he tried this out yesterday upon the stump. take a listen. >> the biggest story worldwide,

it's a corrupt family and these people didn't ask them one single question about it. incredible. not-- (laughter) >> all right. with that we bring in tim merlock 2020 communication director. tim, good to see you. widely thought that president trump won in 2020 making a referendum on hillary clinton. is this an attempt to make a referendum on joe biden and his family? >> it's not an attempt, it's a scandal of enormous proportion. thanks to the new york post and by fox news and i think that americans can appreciate that. we've learned that joe biden lied when he said he had no knowledge of hunter biden's foreign business deals because

we now know through these e-mails that he set up a meeting with his father, the vice-president, and the ukrainian businessman from burisma? 2015. thanks to fox news last night we learned there was a discussion confirmed by a person on the e-mail of a compensation package from a chinese energy company that involved a 10% stake in someone referred to as the big guy and the big guy we now know from the person who was on this e-mail was joe biden. so here is a discussion of compensation from a communist chinese firm, paying money to joe biden. >> tim. >> the question is, leland, the question is is joe biden compromised by the communist chinese. leland: the biden campaign pushing back on this, mike emanuel is reporting, great reporting over the past week by mike, the vice-president released his 2017 tax returns. therefore, people can see for themselves whether or not he's benefitted from this and something that president trump

hasn't done and we still don't know who the president's company owes $400 million to, why-- >> leland, if you had received an illicit payment from a chinese energy company, would you report it on your taxes? and the fact that-- >> the difference, hold on. there's a difference between illicit payment and if you've got 10% stock in a company and you receive a dividend from that. those are different things. >> listen, let me answer your question pointing out that the biden campaign has not denied that this is hunter biden's laptop. they have not denied that the e-mails are authentic. the best they can come up with the ukrainian meeting did not appear on joe biden's official calendar when he was vice-president as if they would put on his official calendar , there's a meeting with a minister and-- >> it's absurd. >> and no one asked last night four or five days after this broke on the tarmac about this,

joe biden said it was a smear campaign and wouldn't address the questions that you've brought up. why do you think this is getting more traction if it's as big of a deal as if you and the president on the stump say it is? >> i think there is a he a blackout op bad stories for joe biden on the media. to fox news' credit they took the information the new york post printed and spoke to it and smoke to someone on the e-mail, yeah, we discussed the compensation package and the big guy mentioned is joe biden. the question is is joe biden compromised by communist china? we know that mainstream media is in for joe biden. a brave reporter from cbs said we didn't know about the chinese part last night and asked about the ukrainian thing and biden's response was to attack the reporter. >> tim, i just want to get to the president's travels here

and spending a lot of time in michigan. what do you make though of going to georgia? that's a solid red trump plus 5 last year, is that why the president is spending time there? >> no, georgia is solid. there are 17 days left in the campaign and the president is going to be travelling every single day to the battle ground states. in the coming days i heard your earlier reports. today he's in michigan and wisconsin then headed to nevada and arizona and pennsylvania, and north carolina. of course in georgia recently. the president is going to be on the campaign trail every single day hitting all of the states that are going to make the decision in this election and that the point is, that president trump has accomplished more in 47 months than joe biden has in 47 years. president trump is the outsider, and as we have learned this week, joe biden is the ultimate insider, his son's sleazy business dealings trading access to his father in order to make millions for the biden family, that is going to be a key thing that's on the

ballot in 17 days. leland: one could imagine that the president might bring this up at the debate on thursday night if kristin welker does not. >> wouldn't be surprised. leland: i'm sure you're not. and 17 days of travel and 17 days of no sleep for you. >> thank you. leland: gillian. gillian: better tim than i. and joining us is a strategist who has advised multiple presidential campaigns in the past and a good friend now to the biden campaign. david, i want to get your response to tim on the hunter biden e-mail story. >> well, good to be with you, gillian. we're back in studio. gillian: it's exciting. >> it's exciting. look, those are republican talking points tim delivered. they want to make this a choice not a referendum on trump, but rather a choice about trump and more negative ly joe biden. there are red flags all over this story. the intelligence community is

checking rudy giuliani's role in this, whether he's a russian asset. this is being aired out and looked at by two republican independent committees, let's see where the facts take us. gillian: yes, always, you're right to point that out. some of these things have been verified, some have not. but let's just talk about david, even if more general way, let's talk about the concern, right, the concern coming from republicans and the concern coming from some american voters is that this speaks of a pay to play type situation, this speaks of hunter biden, accruing benefits due to his father's position. let's put president trump aside and let's focus on candidate biden. why doesn't he just nip it in the bud and forcefully say, look, garbage, come up with the

evidence and leave it there. gillian: i think he's done that. >> and i think no-- >> how? i'm sorry to interrupt you the campaign has not done that. as tim pointed out they have not debunked these e-mails, they have not claimed that the e-mails are fake or that the laptop is fake. >> i think this is being investigated by everyone. this is i guess the october surprise. this is going to be the trump's campaign to try to get the issue off of a referendum of his handling of covid-19 and the economy and the issues that are bringing his campaign below the level of joe biden's right now. he could still win, a resilient candidate no question about it. so i think this has been looked at by two republican committees, it's been looked at all across journalistic circles, a lot of red flags on this story, there's a sense of, are there foreign actors involved, what's the truth, what are the issues, let's get to the bottom of it, but i think, you know, there's-- >> yeah, but this is a candidate-- biden has based his entire

candidacy off of the moral high ground. he believes he's more fit for office, temperamentally interle interleak-- intellectually than president trump, but if this paints his son in an unflattering light in his business dealings with foreign adversaries, you think he would have a more forceful putdown, that's my point. >> i think he doesn't like to go into families, the family of the president raises a question for a lot of voters, the behavior of the family and children around the president. so the vice-president doesn't necessarily want to get down there into the muck, if you will. and that's where this sounds like it's going. i thought he was very effective in the last debate when they actually were face-to-face on this issue, he said his son has had some challenges and he's, you know, turned the corner on that, but there's no accusation of wrongdoing by the vice-president or that i see any real evidence here. let's see where the facts take us. i do agree maybe twitter was wrong to shut this down because now it gives a whole other.

gillian: we're not going to have time to get into social media. i want to ask you, fox news obtained a memo from the biden campaign written by jen o'malley dillon and she warns, up on the screen, the reality the race is closer than punditry we're seeing on twitter and tv would suggest, as you know, the real clear politics average biden with trump at 42.3. >> and jen o'malley dillon, doing this and that's smart. we're winning globally because you're paranoid. you have to run as if you're behind. biden is ahead right now, but look at trump, energy, and biden is plus one. it's a different election than 2016. number two, biden is above 50%

or near it in most of the battle grounds and two-thirds of the country think it's the wrong track. it doesn't mean that donald trump can't come back. i think they're usefully paranoid and getting ready for the debate. thursday will be the key like in 1980 a week before the election and great campaigns don't stop playing offense. gillian: all right, david, thanks for summing that up for us, thanks for levelling with us and bringing some perspective on this saturday afternoon. we appreciate it. >> good to be with you again. gillian: much more on the campaign tomorrow on fox news sunday. chris wallace will speak exclusively to former indiana mayor and now biden advisor pete buttigieg. look for time and listings and channel. and howie kirtz, tomorrow at 11 a.m., i'll join the panel. tomorrow and fox news channel. leland: coronavirus cases are

>> we are now climbing to a third spike in american coronavirus cases with 64,000 new cases yesterday alone.

charles watson is in atlanta with whether this is because of more testing or a new spike. >> hey, leland, twice this week the united states reported more than 64,000 daily new cases for the first time since they peaked in mid july. out west and the mountain west they're feeling a surge in new cases. on a per capita basis both north dakota and south dakota are adding more than any other since the start of the pandemic according to a data base. wisconsin reported more than 4100 new cases, a record single day total with positivity rate topping 21%. the state has opened a field hospital to try to relieve the stress on its hospital system. public health experts say it's not a good sign for the months ahead. >> you can't enter into the cool months of the fall and the

cold months of the winter with a high community infection baseline and looking at the map and seeing the heat map, how it lights up with test positivity that is in more than 30 plus states is going in the wrong directi direction. >> and pfizer says its vaccine won't be ready for public consumption until late november at best. and in an open letter, the company will need to analyze the effectiveness and safety of the vaccine before it's released to the public. so pfizer says its timeline is the third week of november, but as you know, leland, with any vaccine things can change quickly so it's a wait and see situation. leland: especially since some companies' vaccine trials are shut down. thank you. gillian, while millions of americans are getting use today a new normal, the real estate market not adjusting so much to the trend of millions of

americans now teleworking, one of the america's hottest markets are seeing residents abandoning city life for good. claudia cowan joins us from san francisco with a bigger look. >> the city by the bay used to be one of the most desirable, but people are leaving from san francisco in droves, looking for a better deal and safer streets. this exodus is fueled, no surprise here, by tech workers seizing the chance to work remotely from a more affordable area. >> if everyone is working from home, we need room for our zoom calls, we need to make sure that our kids can sleep in the other room. so, there are all of these reasons we suddenly need more space and san francisco has got to be the worst place in the country to find square footage for your dollar. they're looking for homes where working at home actually works. >> others are looking for a

better quality of life. many of them saying they can't enjoy what draw them to san francisco, from the museums to the night life. crime is rampant, open air drug use homelessness has only gotten worse. housing inventory is up a whopping 72%. during this time of covid-19, condominiums are taking the biggest hit and people forego ill evaluators, gym and swimming pools for greater separation. rents for apartments have dropped significantly. realtor.com reports the average price for a studio last month was just over $2,000. that is down 31% compared to the same time last year. one bedroom apartments are down 24%. and that's the biggest drop anywhere in the country and the pandemic is forcing a reckoning in one of the nation's most beautiful and trouble cities.

chicago and new york where alex hogan is standing by with the details. >> hi, good afternoon. that's right, let's take a look walking by me right now, this is one of the many protests taking place around the country. here in new york, we have a feeling of sisterhood solidarity and we started at washington park and marching down broadway. the message is opposition of donald trump's attempts to fill the late ruth bader ginsburg seats. the pioneer shattered ceilings for women everywhere. trump's nominee amy coney barrett sat through days of repeated questions on her stance on abortion. the judge, however, shed little life on her personal stance saying that she would not comment on hypotheticals. the crowds started to gather and 425 marches will take place across all 50 states and virtual gatherings, of course, because of the pandemic.

in washington d.c. the group gathered at freedom plaza and march at the national mall and encourage millions of people to vote according to a pew research study. in 2016 of all eligible voters, only six out of 10 americans cast their ballot. at the same time, a counter protest called women for amy will take place as you mentioned and the group is gathered to support the nominee. chanting "i'm with her" on the court steps. and we've seen them passing by and throughout the day, their message of unity not just for female rights, but also racial equality, of course, protests that we've seen throughout the summer. guys, back to you. gillian: alex hogan in new york. leland. leland: the supreme court is a big issue in the fight for the senate and the hill report, the top democrat super pac is removing ads in the colorado senate race, they're confident

that former mayor hickenlooper will take the seat. and the man hickenlooper would beat, incumbent republican cory gardner, we appreciate it. the democrats pulled their money out, you can read into that what you will. if you indeed, win this race what will the media and democrats have missed about the polls that show hickenlooper up by almost double digits? >> well, look, i think the polls aren't showing what's actually happening in colorado. it's a margin of error rate and morning consult, the polling information withheld their september poll from the public because it showed the race basically tied so i think you had a lot of manipulation by the pollsters. leland: what specifically in the model are the public polls missing that your internals are showing? is there a hidden trump vote or are these trump supporters who won't admit to liking any republican? who is it? >> well, i think if you look at

their methodology, to create their open challenges, if they look at independents are going to turn out and skew the numbers just like that and get too cold or too hot on numbers and we think we have the right demographic before election day to look at. when they released their poll in august they didn't release it in september they waited until october. leland: you and i have known each other a long time when you were in state house and i was a young reporter in denver. and we watched denver sort of morph from a red state into a purplish-blue state. can you win if president trump doesn't. >> we can look speak to people with ballots in their hand. the third most bipartisan in

the senate and with a year ago, the state of colorado voted against a massive tax measure that would have destroyed our balanced budget and two years before that voted against a ban on oil and gas and a few years before that, voted against socialized medicine program so the voters of colorado-- >> it's a fascinating state and jared, he's a liberal governor there. so if there's an idea that there's a ticket splitting that can go on in colorado, how are you messaging to those potential biden-gardner voters that you'd need to win the state if president trump loses it? >> yeah, it's a really good question, leland, what we're focused on, is being a fighter for colorado in washington, getting more colorado in washington, less washington in colorado and talking about that record of accomplishments. things like the great american outdoors act, the biggest conservation accomplishment this country has seen in over

50 years. that was my bill and means a great deal to the people of colorado. and we moved the headquarters, and john hicken loopers want to fire and put out of work, 230,000 oil and gas workers. colorado reject add ban on oil and gas. he's out of step with the voters in colorado and remind them on telephone, television, digital, text, you name it. >> the eastern plains are different from the area in denver where you are right now and in yuma, colorado oil, gas and fracking is a huge thing. drill down on this in a minute. are you finding you have to distance yourself from president trump and some of his not necessarily policies, but perhaps the way he does things for votings who you're courting in colorado? >> the mainstream media is trying to find a daylight or distancing or rebuke or whatever because that fits their narrative. what i continue to do and have

done it for the las four years where i work with the president and work together and do great things for colorado. where i disagree, i'm clear about that and i have been. we've worked well on moving the bureau of land management. u.s. space command opening in colorado springs. leland: quick, going back to the topic du jour in the senate right now. you've come out about amy coney barrett. are you going to vote for her number one and number two, does that hurt you come november? >> i think she did a phenomenal job in the hearings and i spoke to her personally and i'm going to vote for her and i think it's going to help the country. it's important to have a jurist on the bench who is going to uphold the constitution and not make the law. you've seen a week worth of hearings democrats, the left believe the supreme court is a super legislature if they can't get their way-- >> senator, i hate to do this. we've got to run, running the

stop watch during the interview which means we'll offer equal time to the former governor although he hasn't gotten back to us, nor has his campaign. the equal time is available before the election, we wish you all the luck, sir, the best to the family and glad you're getting some time this saturday, sir. >> thanks for having me, thanks, take care. leland: good to see you. both president trump and the vice-president are hitting the campaign trail today. president trump is going to head to michigan, then wisconsin. the vice-president will take the stage in pennsylvania any minute now. live pictures of air force two, as it just touched down in reading, pa. we will have the vice-president's remarks as they happen.

said he was going to win in 2016 and got it right, so, regardless of polls here is what i'm hearing on the ground and seeing on the ground. we here in michigan have had a preview of what a biden-harris administration might look like, in fact, we've had it for the last seven months with our governor here in michigan, who was looked at closely as a vice-presidential running mate and businesses are closed, the overreach that we've seen from the pandemic pandemonium shut things down. people have lost their jobs and the economy is not looking so great even though it could come back, people are wondering why, in fact, thousands are dead from nursing homes because of this governor's policies and her overreach. again, why are we playing politics with this pandemic. people have seen this what it might look like here in michigan with a biden-harris administration. we're done with our free trial and we want to send that thing back and cancel it. gillian: well, speaking of a preview, biden was there on the

ground yesterday, he talked about president trump's so-called china travel ban during the early days of the coronavirus outbreak before anyone knew anything about it. he talked about a vaccine being trustworthy or not. he also talked about biden , he talked about accusations that he's going to pack the supreme court. are these issues that folks there really care about now? >> well, let's just declaration a look at what that visit looked like. very sparse, very few people. and when you go to muskegon and-- >> let's stop there. that's true, probably more folks in number out for president trump, but is that because more folks there are supportive of president trump or because he's encouraging his supporters to come out by the thousands while the biden campaign is telling them essentially to stay at home and

if they're going to come out to take tons of precautions to protect them against the coronavirus? >> i guess that's the question. what do you want? do you want to live in fear and cower in your basement like biden? or come out like president trump and we've got to be safe, take precaution, let's be smart, but at the end of the day i think folks are ready to get back to work, their lives as normal and seeing their families and friends again and i think that's a big part of this election. the economy can come back, people are looking at that here in michigan, as a matter of fact, things have really come back here where i am in west michigan, we're going to start to see more of that with the president. i think that's what people are looking at. in terms of-- >> i think the question on the economy, the real question on the economy is a lot of folks hurting in michigan today, but they weren't necessarily hurting before the pandemic struck. so it seems to me the real question that voters have to

grapple with before november 3rd, do they trust president trump to bring jobs back and help them recover. >> that's right, gillian. and we talk about the virus is concerned, we talk more about the fear. i'm really concerned and saddened when i see folks playing politics with this virus when people are losing their lives and you see folks living in fear, also, if you're not able to live the way you'd like to live. it's really tough to see that and we see the vice-president, former vice-president question whether or not the vaccine, people should take the vaccine. that's really concerning to me. these are major issues and i think it's a pretty clear choice when you look at who you're going to pick coming up on this november election. gillian: we've got to leave it there. thanks for your time today. great to talk to you, we appreciate it. >> justin bar clay. >> the vice-president is headed to michigan later today, and this is the open door of air force two. you see him walk down and then

with president trump over the debate. national security, leadership, a handful of issues. fox news channel and fox business is going to have complete coverage of the debate, soup to nuts. our special coverage starts next thursday right here 8 p.m. eastern. leland, i know that, you know, you're not necessarily always a late night kind of guy. leland: got to stay up for this. gillian: you've got to stay up for the debate. no excuses. leland: what's interesting, and this is really the first time it happened. it happened a little bit in 2016 for as much of a discussion and spotlight as there is on candidates, now the debate moderators are becoming almost as big of a you shall as at candidates themselves. we saw president trump going after our own chris wallace in the first debate. steve skully became a huge issue in his tweets in the second debate and now kristin welker of nbc is in the spotlight. the new york post power days ahead of the debate. and debate moderator has deep

democratic ties and one can imagine the intensity on her, her questions, and then also, the leanings of herself and her parents at least according to the new york post article become an issue. >> the scrutiny of the debate moderators are definitely increasing. i think events of the last week, including what happened with steve skully are probably not helping anybody's concerns. >> has anything happened in the year to lower the temperature in america? >> i think that chris wallace's debate, look, chris made a very forcef forceful-- put forward a forceful performance in his debate trying to level the playing field and trying to give them equal time and giving them the same platform. and working with president trump and vice-president biden on that stage that night he did a remarkable job to at least

give people good faith that these moderators are serious people, they're knowledgeable on the substance. i think that kristin welker is probably going to do the same thing, she's a great journalist, regardless what folks report in the coming days. one of the things interesting here, now that folks are announcing their topics in advance those are getting picked over and picked apart equally seriously. that's already happening with kristin's topics. >> we saw tim earlier, the campaign director saying that president trump would probably bring up the hunter biden issue and e-mails and laptop. >> undoubtedly. leland: during the debate that's now just four days away. back with the vice-president as he heads to the swing state of pennsylvania in just a minute.

..

is that it's plan to crisscross the country the next several days including michigan, wisconsin and nevada and vice president mike pence taking stage and reading, pennsylvania. welcome to america's news headquarters. we are both in washington in the same studio.

>> on the same set, socially distant. we are lucky to be here, both healthy and everything is good. greetings to everyone. i want to listen in on mike pence who is hitting the campaign trail in reading, pennsylvania. >> look how far we have come. four years ago we inherited a military hollowed out by devastating budget cuts. an economy that was struggling to break out of the slowest recovery in a century, terrorism was on the rise around the world and we witnessed the steady assault on our most cherished values but in 3 short years we rebuild our military. we cut taxes across the board, rolled back regulations, unleashed american energy, secured our border, supported law enforcement, stood for life

and liberty, the constitution of the united states, that is called promises made and promises kept. it really is amazing. you think about our national defense, the first priority of our federal government, provide for the common defense. when joe biden was vice president we saw years of reckless budget cuts to our military, donald trump has actually signed the largest investment in our national defense since the days of ronald reagan. i am proud to report to you, not just as your vice president but as the father of the united states marine and the father-in-law of a navy lieutenant be have finally given our soldiers, marines and coast guard the resources and support they need to defend this nation.

with that renewed american strength we've taken the fight to radical islamic terrorists on their soil. last year at the direction of our commander in chief american forces captured the last inch of territory of the isis caliphate, took down their leader without one american casualty and soleimani is gone. [crowd chanting] >> so we rebuild our military, stood with our allies and stood up to our enemies. in our first three years after the slowest recovery since the great depression we created the

greatest economy in history. jillian: that is mike pence speaking at a rally in reading, pennsylvania talking about terrorism, the economy and this report but the president himself, host a rally in jamesphil, wisconsin. that is where we find correspondent kevin cork, what is the president going to tell us? >> he will talk a lot about economic rebirth and that makes sense, thanks to covid-19 it is about seeing if we can get everyone back to work. we are in michigan where you recall in 2016 the president used to midwest strategy to smash the proverbial wall, can he do it again in 2020? you have been watching polls and

may be quite surprised the latest real clear politics average has joe biden up by 7 points already although another survey has the president up by one and predicted his victory in michigan in 2016 but if you're skeptical about the polls you are not alone. in an internal biden memo warning against complacency recalling the combination of -- a large but silent trump vote. and o'malley dillon saying the reality is this race is far closer than the punditry we are seeing on twitter and tv would suggest. the fact, she may be the canary in the coal mine, campaign officials for the trump campaign said their message of hope and economic rebirth will resonate and has resonated in places like michigan and they are comparing

and contrasting that with the summer of violence and they believe if the message sticks here they will not only win the county but they will win the stated win reelection. it is fair to say michigan, pennsylvania and a few other states are the key. the reality -- i will turn back to you. jillian: thanks so much. leland: joe biden has the day off after going through the battleground state this week. he was in michigan yesterday. mark meredith, wilmington, delaware, things coming out of team biden today. >> reporter: joe biden is in delaware but made multiple campaign stops in battleground states including florida, pennsylvania and michigan as we talked about former vice president campaigning outside detroit, he had a chance to talk about what he would like to see happen, potential boom for michigan.

we are talking what a biden administration will do for the supreme court and he would support additional justices. this is what he had to say. >> i will make clear my position when they vote on this, and keep the focus on that. >> reporter: biden faced several questions about what he would like to see happen and it sounds like we will get a better idea what he's thinking fairly soon. election day is fast approaching. we are hearing from senator kamala harris who continues to criticize the judiciary committee, she criticized them on twitter. americans are suffering a deadly pandemic and historic economic crisis, providing relief to families. the republicans pushing the supreme court nominee in this a legitimate process. senator harris on twitter is going to be holding a virtual fundraiser today. had to cancel the campaigning that was supposed to happen this weekend after two people tested

positive that were around her orbit. she has been testing negative for coronavirus including a staffer who tested positive and we are waiting to see what her schedule will look like the next several days, she will be going to florida monday making stops in orlando and jacksonville trying to get out the vote. joe biden going to north carolina holding an event in durham where early voting got underway a few days ago, 650,000 people already taking part in early voting, and getting to the polls earlier. as they get ready for election day fast approaching. leland: both teams are doing that. >> facebook and twitter, censoring the hunter biden story reported by the new york post. at the senate judiciary committee now expected to vote

to subpoena big tech ceos over concerns about bias, anti-conservative bias, in washington the breakdown. >> reporter: the white house press secretary blasted twitter and facebook for blocking access to the story, the fbi found investigating to see if russia is responsible for emails getting out. >> this is what happens in north korea, china and iran. they censor news organizations. it shouldn't happen in the united states of america. >> reporter: the democrats disagree. >> i'm not here to talk about all the decisions by social media companies but we also don't want a social media company to become viral engines for lies and misinformation. >> reporter: hunter biden struggled with drug addiction, ukrainian energy company

burisma, some attempted to use his place as the vice president's son. rudy giuliani obtained this from an abandoned laptop computer given to him by the blind owner of the repair shop in 2017 after biden left the white house, saying, quote, held by h, the big guy, some think the big guy means biden. biden campaign says no money was sent to the vice president from the company. a senate panel will vote as you mentioned to subpoena twitter ceo jack dorsey and others from facebook and google before the judiciary committee. twitter ceo admitted he was wrong, quote, straight blocking of urls was wrong and we updated our policy and enforcement to fix. our goal is to add context and we have capabilities to do that.

>> it has been going on for years. this week they declared open war on the republican party and conservatives across america and my message for these oligarchs is simple, winter is coming. >> 90% of employees of twitter and facebook donated to democrats this year. jillian: thank you. reaction i want to bring in, tennessee republican congressman mark green has expertise on all of this, thanks for joining us. i want to set aside hunter biden for a moment and politics if we can and talk to you about social media, twitter specifically and that a lot of the story. in a sense, there's little more dangerous to democracy than potential for these giant social media corporations editorializing users posts. i want to pull up jack dorsey's apology not apology on this earlier this week.

he said straight blocking of urls was wrong and we need to fix, our goal is to attempt to add context. now we have capability to do that. should twitter's job the to add context to journalists reporting? >> i don't think so. this is an important aspect of this issue. what was an emails is important too. the fact that facebook and twitter are working overtime to get joe biden elected is pretty obvious. you can look at others stories, lowered the rates, they used -- facebook and twitter used complex marketing algorithms to shake people's purchasing decisions. allowing him to interfere in our election, is wrong. jillian: someone pointed out,

the job twitter aside itself to provide context, to block content they believe has been hacked, why were donald trump's tax returns tweetable a retweetable by the new york times? >> that information is protected by law. iran's supreme leader, threatening genocide. they have no problem with that, they will block the president's press secretary. fox corroborated sources by talking to other people in those emails. good journalism has been done by some people and they will block that information, they are working for the biden campaign. date jillian: what are your colleagues going to do to

regulate and inflict some oversight over these companies? >> the left is concentrated on they are so big. they get a pass from the laws from true journalist companies. if they act like that, we will put those laws on them. >> section 230, on the chopping block, every one from donald trump to supreme court justices on the bench now, not just amy coney barrett but your colleagues got section 230 in their crosshairs, that is the legislative provision that gives protection to these social media companies to give themselves.

>> >> he didn't elaborate on that. they are focused on the monopoly these companies are. they are in both side of the aisle's crosshairs. jillian: hope to talk to you again. >> we bring in michigan congressman chief deputy, good to see you. want to start with what might be happening in the house of representatives the next couple days. steve mnuchin those playbook says the most eager men washington for a deal talking to nancy pelosi this afternoon. they keep talking over and over and over again. it seems pretty far-fetched they are talking about a deal that gets done for folks before the election. >> it is tough but it is always

tough, every negotiation i've ever been involved with, like it is not going to come together, with this administration, secretary steve mnuchin is a person we have been able to work with, we get to yes with him in the past, done big business legislation with him or smaller bills as well. the speaker and secretary mnuchin have a chance to put something together there has to be a compromise. leland: and optimistic thought on this. vice president biden in your home state of michigan talking about his promises to the people of michigan, take a listen. >> you elected me, barack obama and you bet on us when we bet on you.

and that on american workers and the uaw. i am asking for your support in 2020. we will always have your back, i promise you. so please vote, help us get out the vote. leland: they did so well in michigan in 2009 through 2016, why elect a republican? >> president obama and vice president ballin -- biden weren't on the ballot. it was an election for sure. michigan went to donald trump by 10,704 votes, there was a case of folks who couldn't get themselves to hillary clinton. we have to acknowledge that. we had 90,000 michigan voters who went to the polls and voted for every office on the ballot except the president of the

united states. that was an election that is going to go down in history as one - leland: it is important to look where we were versus where we are in 2020. we have these poll numbers. vice president biden is up in the average in michigan right now, 48-40. now we are going to put up where they were, donald trump was down 7 points to hillary clinton, individual polls not looking at the average is on the right side of your screen, he is tracking almost exactly the way he did last election. do you feel a lot of democrats are overconfident? >> we don't want to be overconfident. i was listening to your previous report, it will be closer than

the polls indicate but there is a significant distinction just to be fair in the poll numbers you just showed. the spread between the two candidates may be similar, those of us who watch polling closely especially if you are a candidate you always want to look at where your vote share is relative to 50%. when hillary was leading donald trump in 2016 by 7 points -- >> one thing that changed was the james comey letter. conceivably folks on the right open for biden's laptop is the relative equipment that is equivalent to that. here's the former vp talking about that issue. we don't have the soundbite but he said i knew you would ask. i have no response. it is another smear campaign.

don't the people of michigan deserve a better answer than it is a smear campaign, with the vice president, 10% for the big man. >> pretty well litigated in the last year whether to bring hunter biden's history into this situation is a smear campaign. people have made up their minds on that question. leland: you don't think the emails change of think? >> know i don't. leland: it snowed in michigan a couple days ago, stay warm, winter is here, take care. jillian: they are duking it out this weekend over the nomination of judge amy coney barrett. many women's marches on -- unfolding across the united states. we will take you to some of them coming up next. needs help customizing oute their car insurance with liberty mutual, so they only pay for what they need.

senate is the question. the chief economist for macroeconomics saying mcconnell expects trump to lose and spending political capital, would put his own leadership position at risk after the election. it seems to make sense to jonathan own egg, from fox news, contributor, to get hung up on the trillions here and billions there and on and on but a lot of americans are hurting right now, what becomes unbearable to the politicians? >> impossible to tell. not just what is happening in the economy, but what is going to happen in washington, the crystal ball is always a little

cloudy, even more cloudy now, the lockdowns being affected by those lockdowns and as you said, trillions of dollars. todd: what if wall street gives up on the idea? >> if you look to history the stimulus might not be such a good thing. the tax market fell 40% from that level, unemployment when the stimulus was passed in 2008. and we need a stimulus but talked about short-term economics and what happens, what is in seeing, that is what worries me, what are the long-term implications, that is old news, trillions of dollars

>> what they are praising in, solar stocks have been doing well as joe biden's chances in the betting market have increased, - leland: gun stocks -- >> it didn't happen. it is not seemingly falling under the prospect of a higher biden win but warren buffett having a little more cash, there's been a lot of volatility into separated, talk about liquidity, you never think about it if you needed and at that point to think about it. leland: during the crisis in march. $160 at berkshire hathaway, isn't a lot of money. interesting perspective, there
