leland, the former vice president on the democratic side with the big-name guest, his old boss is heading out, jacqui heinrich has more on that and what we can expect from biden today, durham north carolina. >> biden stop comes as polls show him in a very narrow lead in north carolina and after the campaign warned in a memo they need to operate like they are trailing, after the stop biden plans to keep a lighter schedule, he is going to have big-name surrogates like magic johnson and president obama on wednesday biden has plenty of prep, he faced no questions about his son hunter's business deal in the town hall and the canceled debate. as a paper claim from a trove of e-mails reportedly from hunter's laptop, president trump is expected to go after biden again and an advisor say he will lead by the answer.
10:02 am
>> my son did nothing wrong upper riburisma. >> he knows i have the truth, his position is totally thoroughly disclaimed by everybody. >> the campaign has denied any wrongdoing setting biden's tax returns, unofficial schedule and inquiry as proof. the other issue he will be pressed on is whether he supports adding more justices to the supreme court of judge amy coney barrett is confirmed, he said he will make his position clear before the election depending on how the hearing is handled but as the campaign sees this as a distraction. >> they just want to talk about literally anything besides healthcare, which the president is trying to take away in the court might take away in the pandemic which is costing so many lives in so many livelihoods in this country. >> biden said last week he is not a fan of court packing in a similar position to what he said over the years, however, in a
10:03 am
town hall he said he is open to considering what happens if republicans push through judge barrett's confirmation. leland: it was pete buttigieg that he adde talked about addina few seats to the supreme court. jacqui heinrich in durham. republican lawmakers are promising to hold facebook and twitter to heal over there suppression of hunter biden story. that is from both sides to crack down on big tech or big t on the internet, mark meredith live from the nation's capital with the fight that is beginning right now and will sure to go on past the election. >> i don't think it will ever end. we are hearing from leaders of both parties that are concerned about the power the social media companies as well as the technology collaborates, they are split for two different reasons, yup congressional republicans a president trump outraged over what you heard from jacqui about the new york post story with improper
10:04 am
behavior from hunter biden. twitter has backtracked on his decision to block the story from being seen on its platform and we also allowed it to be shared, facebook slowed down the circulation of the story when it first broke, almost instantly republicans cried foul accusing the social media platforms of sensory news and information, this week the senate judiciary committee will consider a subpoena for twitter ceo to testify and were hearing from house minority leader kevin mccarthy about the outrage on capital here. here's what he had to say on settin"sunday morning features". >> just as china's trade influence our election we find twitter and facebook are doing the exact same thing and they should be ashamed in the market public is outraged about this. >> president trump appears furious with twitter's decision and he had plenty to say about the platform which he uses regularly, this is what he had to say during a rally in michigan. >> if you do not repeat each and
10:05 am
every one of their lives you will be banned, censored, big tech titans, what they do, they harass, they expel. >> democrats say their concern companies like apple, amazon, google are monopolies controlling too much of the country's commerce judiciary subcommittee leads to a report detailing what their concerns are, they write to put it simply companies that were scrappy and underdogs start out to challenge the status quo and monopolies resolve the era of oil, and railroad tycoon. you have congress that wants to act on this it is possible we could to the federal communication actively heard through the commissioner earlier last week indicating they could clarify some of the rules when it comes to liability. a lot of people eager to see what could change or social media companies plus all of us that use the platforms. leland: some like using more effectively than people like me but all the same. follow mark meredith on twitter.
10:06 am
and in real life too. thank you. gillian: with twitter and facebook back in the spotlight over led censorship of the new york post reported earlier this week silicon valley big tech are bristling. from california with the inside scoop on how big tech plans to try to manage the fallout. >> twitter works to block material and links in reporting that could hurt joe biden, the social media giant is coming under fire for allowing employees too post antitrust messages. here's a statement from twitter chief human resources officer jennifer christy, she says in a statement to the new york post, we do not hire based on political belief and completely support our employees right to express themselves and support the causes that they care about. our employees are professionals and we require them to bring objectivity to their work regardless of their personal

views. this despite some tweets that crossed the line, the new york post called out the head of site integrity who called the president a racist pandering and actual not see over facebook the responses into fog post including those from the president that are in the company's view misleading last week facebook removed the post from the president that compared coronavirus to the flu and like twitter blocking redistribution of the post hunter biden story. conservative complained about the systemic bias in silicon valley in a free-speech rally in san francisco was supposed to include a march to twitter headquarters. things turned violent when hundred antifa protesters over flu police barricades and attacked demonstrators through the organizer of the rally was punched in the face and lost two teeth, police were overwhelmed, this officer is wiping off his face after he was pepper spray. three police officers were
10:08 am
injured, right now nobody has been arrested. gillian: claudia from california, thank you so much. joining us now for more on the trump campaign reacting to all of this we bring in trump 2020 senior advisor for strategy, steve cortes, thank you so much for taking time this afternoon, we appreciated. on the hunter biden e-mail story, the campaign has been going all in on this despite the fact that fox news has not confirmed the authenticity of all these e-mails yet, you guys put out a statement saying we have we have not. but you're going all in, do you think even if it ultimately proves to be true, if us or anybody else verifies the authenticity of the mills in the future, is your expectation going to change any voters hearts and minds? >> absolutely, this is an absolute bombshell it's
10:09 am
appalling the way corporate media has ignored the story so far in the way democratic operatives are trying to converge in the campaign, they scream russian disinformation but notice what none of them are doing and none from team biden, they are not in any way saying the e-mails are authentic. fox news reporting, you are correct they are not authenticated all the e-mails but they did authenticate your own network reporting, the most damning one of all were hunter biden says not only is he collecting tens of millions of dollars from the chinese communist party but his father is in on the action, think about that. gillian: my question is, how do you think this would change anybody's hearts and minds, trump supporters are already all in on this, they hate the biden campaign, the biden family, on the other side of the aisle, biden supporters say this is no big deal, i don't think it's verifying the authenticity means to them e-mail from the vice
10:10 am
president son. >> it means the absolute worst, such as the vice president son, the vice president son tells us the vice president himself was involved and we know factually, we don't have to rely on hunter biden's word, we know that vice president biden was fully aware of his sons nefarious and shady practices, from the senate homeland committee as well as the e-mails from the new york post, that is not doubt that joe biden was fully aware, it looks like not only was he aware but a party to cooperation with the most dangerous enemy to the united states in the entire world, the chinese communist party, it's not an exaggeration to say this would be like an american vice president in the 1930s being in cahoots with the naughty party of germany, that is to the chinese communist party is today, the exponential threat they are to their own people as well as to the american people the national
10:11 am
security and our prosperity, there's no way to dance around that this is a minor issue and a lot of media is trying to do that. gillian: a lot of media is doing now but this network is not doing it we take the investigation seriously and reported everything that we know every simple well the way and everything we don't know we've been up right about that. this campaign has been in contact with the senate homeland security committee which is now investigating or senate intelligence or with the fbi, has anyone over there reached out to you or vice versa, have you been in contact at all. >> personally not at all i don't want to speak for the entire campaign because i do not know, i cannot imagine i don't think there's any reason to interact with any private way. what we know publicly right now is so damning that biden must answer these questions. it would be so simple for team biden to say these e-mails are not accurate or been distorted, where and day for and no one from team biden, no one has
10:12 am
refuted the accuracy of the e-mails. >> they said it's a smear campaign but nobody has said -- that does not say they are inaccurate. we cannot fall. gillian: i would make sure we get this in the president is in nevada 88000 people have contracted and suffered from the coronavirus what does the president have to say to these folks? >> what he has to say, he himself knows exactly what they have gone through because he got it, thankfully he recovered incredibly quickly. somebody else who recovered incredibly quickly as the american economy. nevada more than most days because the hospitality and the tourism. gillian: what about the folks that suffered from covid. >> arms answering your question, nevada more than any place else knows we can manage the risk of the virus and we are not going back to a place of shutdown, we are not going back to where we were in march, be catastrophic for the entire country but a place like nevada that is
10:13 am
tourism hospitality driven, the president pledges we will not shut down again and in contrast joe biden dominic raab was shut down and hold it over the american economy, over the economy of nevada come over tourism, hospitality and this president is proof positive that we can manage the risk of the virus, we can make intelligent choices and protect the most foldable and guard them very, very carefully, those who are not vulnerable generally from dire effects from the virus, we have to get back to normalcy in this country and were doing and smart ways all over the country, that's why the economy is exploding across the country. gillian: would gotta leave it there, were out of time, we will hold you to all of that, we appreciate you taking time off the trip to speak with us. leland: equal time with the other side biden campaign surrogate general arnold, we appreciate you being with us. back to what little we have gone from team biden about the hunter biden story, this is precisely one time that the vice president
10:14 am
has been able to be asked by reporters about this issue. take a listen. >> it was never discussed with my son or my brother or anyone else about their businesses. and what i would do is the same thing that we did in our administration there was an absolute wall between personal and private and the government. >> do you stand by your statement that you did not discuss any of your sons business deals. >> yes i stand by that. gillian: it does not seem true anymore does it? >> thank you so much for bringing this up, i really appreciate jillian's pressing the representative from the trump campaign on the fact that so much of this is unconfirmed. leland: jenna real simple, usace unconfirmed, tell us what parts are not true, hunter biden knows what e-mails, are you saying in the campaign, these e-mails are not his?
10:15 am
>> it is unclear to me, what is so important right now from the american citizen and the media, yourself included is to continue to ask clarifying questions, why the fbi is investigating, it's imperative to note that the nsa said he was being claimed by the e-mails. leland: jenna the easiest thing in the world to do, stop with the accusation, the easiest thing in the world to do would say these are not hunter biden's e-mails, nobody including hunter biden in the campaign has said it, listen to the one time joe biden was asked about this. >> i have no response, it's another smear campaign, right up your ally the questions that you ask. >> that was a cbs reporter who was able to get that question in the one time joe biden was available. leland: jenna, let me ask the question and then you can
10:16 am
respond. the question is this, i thought demonizing the media was a threat to our democracy, every time president trump attacks democrats and yourself cannot wait to yell about it, don't the american people deserve something better than the former vice president attacking the person who asked a legitimate question? >> i don't know if he attacked the person, he just said it was fake news. leland: it's another smear campaign right up your ally, those are the questions you always ask, that kind of sound like an attack to me. >> that does not strike me as an attack, i'm sure you can find some other statements on behalf of the campaign that are specifically in attack, like what your other guest said having conversations and working with the chinese government is working with an aussie party, compare apples to apples with me on that. >> the chinese communist party has domini concentration camps,e biden tried to overdo with the chinese are brought hunter biden
10:17 am
along with him to introduce him around, there is video that -- >> we just lost 200,000 americans because of the pandemic that was poorly controlled, if you want to talk about the loss of life, let's have that conversation. leland: i am so confused, what is interesting you still have not answered the fundamental question which is can anyone say that these e-mails are inauthentic and so far i've not heard anybody say that. >> i think that is fair, i don't think anybody is saying that. leland: hold on let me ask it like this, one of the biggest issues the democrats have had in the former vice president have had with the trump family, was the e-mails connected donald trump jr. to russians, there was an entire special counsel investigating that. there are now e-mails connecting hunter biden with cutouts for
10:18 am
the ukrainian government and russian intelligence -. leland: let me get to ask the question, should there be the same treatment and a special counsel, when there was an e-mail from don jr., the left went crazy. >> i think your point about a special counsel is probably particularly responsible, i think it's a shame that were spending so much time and taxpayer dollars. >> it's a shame trying to figure out the man who is going to be running for president of the united states -- it's a shame to figure out whether or not it was 10% of a chinese company put aside for him, that's a waste of time? >> i'm happy to respond if you let me finish my sentence, i have no problem with asking incredibly diligent hard questions about any sort of news that comes out from any political party whether my candidate or any other candidate that is raising their hand to lead this country, i have no problem with it. leland: the problem is not the

10:32 am
presumably why he is coming back today and spent the night in vegas and what he will be in carson city later today, i want to talk about the on appointment rate, in april the height of the coronavirus we were looking at a nonemployment at 30%, and september the latest numbers, 12%, there was a drop is still the numbers need to go down according to the president, the trip to nevada comes a day after the president made to rally stops, one in michigan and the other in wisconsin, though stop significant because unlike nevada, michigan wisconsin went for the president which is down in the states, here he is in wisconsin last night. listen. >> if i lose, can you imagine, i will have lost to the worst candidate, the worst candidate in the history of presidential politics, what do i do, we are not going to lose, we are going to win.
10:33 am
>> after that stop in wisconsin he flew to what las vegas, he was here and now he's going to orange county california for a private fundraiser, then he will be back to carson city, to rallies neighboring arizona, tucson and prescott, then he will head back and forth to the easter part of the united states for more rallies, of course you have to fit in the debate prep for the final debate face-to-face with the former vice president thursday night, belmont university in nashville. gillian: everyone looking forward to that. david spunt in carson city. thank you so much. leland: we bring in the cofounder and author of the a.m., mike allen, am and pm. start off and look at the travel schedule for both the president and the former vp, president trump today carson city nevada and tomorrow prescott arizona then tucson, tuesday erie
10:34 am
pennsylvania rally, wednesday north carolina rally as well then we look at the vice president schedule, this is not just the vice president, we had to put him in all of his team in any event, former vp then he goes dark, joe biden monday in pennsylvania and kamala harris in florida on monday and then former president obama, philadelphia on wednesday, these are vastly different campaign strategies as somebody has covered a lot of races, have you ever seen a ticket not be on the road 17 days before the election? >> it is unusual but these are different times, but the schedules tell you what the campaigns are trying to tell you symbolically, with president trump it is about falling and being out with his people, i watched his rallies on your air yesterday, he went from kissing the beautiful women in the men
10:35 am
to saint in wisconsin he would kiss the muscular men, the president soaking in the rallies, draping in the attention, biden is saying we don't want to blow it, were way ahead on air and were ahead on the polls and we want to send the signal that these are different times, if we get sick and somebody at the top of the organization gets sick, he was not worth it, that's why you have such an unusual situation three weakens outcome of the nominee down. leland: are they worried as you talk to the biden campaign that this is like hillary clinton not going to wisconsin and finally having to send barack obama to michigan in the last week and say i'm going to michigan, they've got problems. >> i know you spend a lot of time on twitter, was a constant message from democrats on twitter, it's not as close as it looks, we need you, get out and vote and travel, the attention, the polls, the money, that does
10:36 am
not necessarily translate into a victory, you can ask senator beto interi or hillary clinton,s why there's a scramble and don't blow it, the biden, don't take anything for granted, on trumpets the other way, it's convince your people there is a path, we are in this game even though the metrics that you and i might look at, money, polls, direction of the country are not promising. >> of their head in the battleground states that in 2016 relative biden verse clinton but you brought up an interesting point where they are in money, joe biden raised 383 million in september compared to 248 million in biden's campaign, 442 million cash on hand, 251 million for trump's campaign and joint committees, still a lot of money and a quarter of a
10:37 am
billion dollars of cash on hand, you also made the point how we see the influx of cash into senate races that otherwise would not be of big fundraising event, how much of this is democrat donors thinking, did not contribute in the beginning but now if it looks like he's going to win i better start writing checks or have influence later on. >> the bandwagon effect, you're exactly right, you and i have talked about the fact that over the supreme court fight is also driving this like a massive influx right after president trump made the nomination and republicans made it clear that they were going to get judge amy coney barrett confirmed, you have what we call the green tsunami, democrats crushing republicans in cash so much
10:38 am
so -. leland: 17 days out, doesn't matter if you get a huge influx of cash if your candidate is south carolina? >> two quick stories, south carolina, the democrats have raised the most of any candidate ever interesting lindsey graham senate judiciary chairman who was thought to have -- he race the most of any republican anywhere. if you look in iowa, the democrat there has raised the most than any other senate candidate in iowa has raised in the entire state, montana the democratic challenger, not only doubling up, he also broke his own record. leland: all three chief media markets, montana, iowa and south carolina. i appreciate as always, will target today's note over brunch.
