grassroots parades. one took place from 60 miles long island to monday to come there was a parade for president trump with vehicles in philadelphia suburban, west texas. they will lined up thousands of vehicles. they also did the same thing in alabama in tennessee car parade and indiana as well. they aren't just organized on the campaign level. these are people getting in touch with each other with social media before their accounts get frozen and travel together in support of a president they plan on voting for. steve: well, it's interesting. in me town, they had kind of an unofficial kind of one of those over the weekend as well. you know, as you look at the polls and it does look as if they are tightening right now. privately, the trump people say that they are going to do better than the public polls are showing right now. and the race is closer. i have got some seasonal allergy today. the rails is closer in arizona

and pennsylvania. than the public polls. it's all part of the poller coaster which is how the dnc chair tom perez characterized it yesterday. watch this. >> do you think the democratic party has done enough in the midst of this pandemic to drive up either easy balloting or ability to go to the polls? >> well, i always caution people never get on the poller coaster. we take nothing for granted. and the enthusiasm, margaret, has been all over the country. we have a lot more work to do. but we are expanding the battle grounds. we are competing in places like arizona, texas, ohio. iowa. georgia. and elsewhere. and it's because we have a candidate who, i think, is just uniquely qualified to bring people together. we have more work to do and folks got to get out there and vote. steve: and it's interesting because the trump people feel that the strides they have made in the last four years with

voter registration favors the president as does the fact that they have got a great get out the vote machine which they have been working on for four years, ainsley. ainsley: a lot of people have already voted. when you look at these polls even though biden was ahead that was a big surprise in 2016. the polls projected hillary clinton to win. if you look at pennsylvania and wisconsin. she was tagged as a heavy favorite in those two states. in the end, both of those were taken by trump. brian: the president is not going to be at work. what he is doing in terms of interferences. jake tapper brought up my goodness you cannot say when chris coons says he has not been working very hard on the campaign trail. you cannot take saturday off do. one appear once on sunday. and take four days off and say you are working hard on the campaign trail. that's your tactic. see how it works four. reince priebus who i'm happy to see is back for the trump people. ease i don't know 00 polls. they are complicated. there are some things happening there that were not happening before. one of which the president is 30 points ahead in rural parts of wisconsin and minnesota.

and that's very hard to quantify and they don't seem to show up in the polls. we will see what happens because it's very similar to what we saw in 2016. but we know with the pandemic everything has changed. so one area in which no question democrats benefit they have outraised republicans all across the country from senate to congressional races. so the president presidential race four to 1. 432 million cash in hand for biden. 251 for trump there could be a big announcement today for the trump campaign. meanwhile a busy week ahead for capitol hill. the senate judiciary committee will vote on amy coney barrett's confirmation to the supreme court thursday. >> the senate is also set to vote on two covid bills tomorrow. and on wednesday. ainsley. ainsley: up first a vote to subpoena twitter ceo jack dorsey after the outrage sparked by blocking the reporter on hunter biden. griff jenkins is live to break down the entire week for us.

a lot going on down there, griff. griff: it is. good morning, brian, ainsley and steve. washington has been so easy. i don't know how they will properly commemorate your birthday. a lot of things happening. the senate judiciary committee of now will vote to confirm judge barrett on thursday. the full senate is voting on mcdonnell $500 billion skinny covid relief bill. even if that passes speaker pelosi isn't likely to acknowledge it in the house it isn't the product of her negotiations with treasury secretary mnuchin. the big fireworks may come when the big tech ci. >> s under fire for censorship come to capitol hill to face a grilling. it is 15 days to the election. both candidates are in full attack mode. in nevada the president zeroing in on the "new york post," hunter biden story suggesting the bidens are capitalizing on washington influence peddling. watch? >> joe biden is and always has been a corrupt politician. he always has been.

and as far as i'm concerned, the biden family is a criminal enterprise. griff: now, while most of the post story remains unverified at this point. the senate of the home land security committee ron johnson is demanding the fbi provide answers. >> the fbi halls a duty to inform us. if they believe this is maybe you know, russian disinformation. they should give us a defensive briefing. why did they sit on it? are they covering unjust because hunter biden might be engaged in things that also maybe should have been investigated and possibly prosecuted? griff: this as biden in north carolina ramped up his signature attack over the president's pandemic response. >> trump said at one of his rallies we have turned the corner. and my grandfather would say, this guy has gone around the bend if he thinks he has turned the corner. [horns beeping] >> turn the corner? things are getting worse. he continues to lie to us about

the circumstances. griff: biden is off the trail today. presumably preparing for the debate thursday while president trump will hold not one, but two separate rallies in arizona. brian, ainsley, steve. brian: it's unbelievable, griff. thank you so much. they totally avoided a story that is really at the very least deserves some exploration and explanation. an example the new york story griff just described you are not talking about an opinion. you are talking about a lop top with emails. if the russians were behind it. how did they find that delaware repair shop to drop it off in and have somebody named hunter biden sign off on the invoice. how come you have emails that have nothing to do with russia, they are actually not denied by the administration. that looks as though the son is setting up a corporation with the father involved or to benefit from, at the very least you have questions about from china officials. this is incredible that not only are people ignoring it, the

social media companies who have been basically a vehicle to the post what you think and a chance for you to take in what you read, has now frozen accounts that look at emails that have not been denied by the people that wrote them. and they are still trying to get these laptops back. here is what -- he shut it down. one reporter asked him a question about it, and he gets attacked personally. from cbs. steve: last week. brian: that's it. and then when he finally comes out to get ice cream, listen to what these reporters are shouting at joe biden. >> you got one have a nilla, one chocolate. i wanted to get what we call black and white. we will move it another -- what is it? brian: how embarrassing is that? steve: rather than ask about court packing or hunter biden or the laptops. steve: what flavor of milk shake, hello? ainsley: one says the media is softer than that milk shake when it comes to asking joe biden

some tough questions. when the president's team was asked over the weekend how he is going to handle the debate. jason miller was on "fox news sunday" and he said that the president is going to give him some room. biden some room to answer questions on foreign policy. things business past. the endless wars that he supported. he wants to talk about trump's success on the peace deals and whether the emails bearing hunter biden's name are authentic. brian: i mean, it's unbelievable. debate comes up. i'm looking at these topics and talk about it more at 7:00. i get it, eastern time. where is foreign policy? where is the economy? >> we are talking about american families climate change. who wrote this up? barack obama? ainsley: that's what the moderator chose. brian: this moderator whose parents are democratic don't nature who was a registered democrat before. who has the most hostile questions possible to kayleigh mcenany or whoever the press secretary is and the president. how does she get picked to be the moderator at this debate? it's incredible.

steve: what a week. and it's just starting right now. so, anyway. 6:11 now here in new york city and jillian. jillian: happy birthday, steve. steve: thank you, thank you. jillian: i didn't know that surprise. police arrest a man with a knife after a standoff at paramount pictures in hollywood. the lapd says the man ran into the studio lot after they tried arresting him for sexual assault. police hit him with a taser and beaten bound rounds. he bar barricaded himself insida building before getting arrested. is he now in the hospitals with unknown injuries. the command charged with throwing a burning piece of wood inside a police car with an officer inside remains in jail this morning. seattle police releasing video of the attack from last week. >> seattle police, stop, dude.

the officer shooting at suspect brian neil as he ran away. the officer was treated for minor burns. police arrested him in a parking garage. is he due in court on assault charges next week. a top white house official secretly traveled to syria for talks to free two american hostages. the negotiations centered on former marine and journalist austin tice who disappeared while reporting in 2012 and raj a thirption who went missing 2017. still talks in syria. talks held earlier this year in damascus. dodgers headed back to the world series after a thrilling game 7. cody bill jerry's monmouth home run created an epic come back. >> powering fly wall ball. s dodgers come from behind smut series. they come from behind in game senk and they win the national a

among my patients, i often see them have teeth sensitivity as well as gum issues. does it worry me? absolutely. sensodyne sensitivity & gum gives us the dual action effect that really takes care of both our teeth sensitivity as well as our gum issues. there's no question it's something that i would recommend.

>> well the moderator of the thursday debate kristin welker intense scrutiny. she has deep democrat ties coming from a family that has donated tens of thousands of dollars to democrats over the years. president trump racketed to the report and accused welker of being terrible and unfair. here to discuss media reporter for the hill joe concha. joe, good morning to you. good morning, steve, how are you? >> steve: i'm good. what do you expect thursday. >> i expect what i have seen already in town halls. a fixed fight going. in top issues according to pugh research in terms of a poll they did what voters care about most.

economy, healthcare, supreme court, coronavirus, violent crime, foreign policy, gun policy, you will never guess how many of those topics were chosen by kristen welker going into this final debate a crucial debate. nothing on any of those topics whatsoever. which is amazing. including healthcare. instead we are going to talk about climate change again which occurred in the first debate and that's fine if you want to bring it up. for it to be in two debates and all the other topics seem to be in joe biden's sweet spot while being troublesome for president trump. i'm not saying that he is not a big boy and can't answer the questions. at the same time, the disconnect here between what the media thinks is important and what voters think is important is so abundantly clear based on debate topics. as far as ties to the democratic party, kristen de welker's dad alone $20,000 to president obama's re-election efforts. can we pick a moderator that doesn't have any ties to the

democratic party like we do with steve scully intern for joe biden. who worked for ted kennedy, who was apparently getting advice from anthony scaramucci? what are we talking about here? we can't trust the process, steve. steve: you look at steve scully's problems and the reaction that chris wallace got as well, maybe going forward two moderators somebody from the left and somebody from the right. >> that's a great idea. take the moderators out all together and put them in like a steel caged match and let them go at it. would that be the worst idea in the world? i don't think so. maybe need a will referee. putting in somebody presidential debates saysst says is objective somebody who is definitely for and against one candidate. get equal number of questions in terms of toughness and everybody wins. steve: let's work on that for next time, okay? >> sounds good.

steve: okay. the "new york post" has looked at some of the twitter senior execs anti-trump tweets. we will put them up on the screen. what does this tell you, i mean, they obviously hate trump. what does this tell you about the mentality at twitter? >> well, it tells me, steve, that sil silicon valley makes michael moore a cpac speaker. see senior executives who actually worked for joe biden in some cases, and other cases like that great report are by john lavigne of the "new york post," shows that it is overwhelmingly democratic. i think it's something like 90% of donations out of twitter and facebook have gone to democrats which isn't surprising which it is right near san francisco and madely made up of young people. here's the problem here, steve. pugh research did another great survey in terms of where people get their news from. and 62% of adults get their news

from social media. they scroll through twitter. three fourths get it through email pushes from social media. so when you say well, the media is abc, nbc, cbs, cnn, "the washington post" and "new york times." it's more and more social media and that's what's influencing at this point. and influencers are overwhelmingly democrat and trying to push an election in one direction. anyway, steve. got to go back to the chiropractor today unfortunately. you are turning 40 today i believe. as you know when you hit that magic number everything goes south. steve: tell me about it. my voice is the first thing to go today. joe, thank you very much. >> i like it. you sound like one of the sisters on the simpson it's a rough punch. steve: lisa. all right, thank you, joe. meanwhile, gym owners in new york state are taking the governor to court calling to end his emergency powers amid the lockdowns. up next hear from a guy leading the charge. ♪ (♪ )

plus cleaning protests coals. brian: has that damaged your business? >> yeah. at the end of the day, brian, this is just a slow bleed. we have 100 percents of the bills 33% occupancy. no one is coming back to the gym. governor cuomo has done his job and his job is to keep people fearful of the one thing that can help them and that's actually getting fit and healthy. brian: it's been very limiting and of course the delay already destroyed thousands of businesses. who has joined this lawsuit and where is it at in the legal system. >> right now, brian, we announced it last week and we should be filing it by the end of the week. and this is for everybody in no, state. this is to remove all his emergency powers. all the restrictions. courts do provide deference to state and local officials in the midst of an emergency in order to make time sensitive

decisions. but right now we're in october and businesses are falling apart. and now with this micromanaging of these clusters it's just going to get worse. enough is enough. and recently he said the priority going forward is protecting the progress. how is that emergency when you are looking effect the progress. the state has had low infection rate for four months. we need to open up these businesses and this lawsuit is for everybody. brian: right. they put so many restrictions on high schools they said screw it. we are not coming back. not playing football. not playing soccer. not do it in the spring. what does that mean. only a certain amount of people in the locker rooms a certain amount of time. charlie, what they don't understand part of the way to fight against this is to be safe and to be fit and to train and to be responsible. they see no role in nutrition and fitness let alone the psychological benefits of these clubs opening. >> yeah.

you know, brian, even goes deeper than that to me. people aren't really paying attention and realize this is just a bias and an agenda and it's politically based. i mean, the governor comes out the other day and he talks about movie theaters and he allows them to open at ridiculous occupancy. movie theaters aren't going to open up at that what was the point of doing that? we can have things open up on one side of the street and we can't on the other. the fact that people can't come to a gym, which is community, it's getting fit. living a healthy lifestyle. fighting the very thing that the disease attacks, it's just ridiculous. brian: jim, the one thing that's heartening too they did the same thing in pennsylvania and michigan. how is that going? >> well, in pennsylvania, i believe, the appellate court stayed that decision. and in michigan, i believe that it's -- i believe that the state supreme court has upheld the remove of the emergency powers

for whitner. so that's positive of an inspiration. this should have been done months ago in new york as well. there is so much damage here in this state. brian: charlie, the politicians is 234e6r signed a check. reached a payroll. have a bank breathing down your neck. other thing is it seems to be a trend. these are democrats. >> they are democratic states that are holding everything up so if you want to take, california, new york as an example and what they are leaning on is fear. and if we just wanted to go to the recording that, you know, governor andrew cuomo was recently on which he hasn't answered for or nobody has even asked him a question for that is he basing his decisions based on fear. instead of lifting up the state. instead of getting the state, you know, up to where we need to be, he just wants to keep us down, he wants to keep the businesses shut, and by the end of the year, brian, we are looking at 60% of closure rates between restaurants and gyms. brian: sinful.

said something like twitter and facebook run by former trump employees. the answer have you never seen that because it doesn't happen. i'm not suggesting it should. i'm simply saying that don't you find it odd whenever we hear executives and people at social media companies active political activists who literally just left these democrat candidates for office? i mean, it's odd who why like to see when it comes to jack and mark zuckerberg? we are all adults. that's the track we have taken. if you want to put a filter on twitter that people can control, hey, i would like to see this or like to see that let people click the filter on and off. if you want to see information to make your own adult decisions about what you think is true or isn't, then twitter and facebook should not be getting involved. jack said oh we are going to add context to tweets now? that's what you do. that's what social media is. that's what brian and ainsley that's what you guys do in your own social media. you add context.

leave the social media giants out of it. let people do their own thing. brian: i will say this. no problem pushing that atlantic article from 2018 with people who denied it happened about the president allegedly calling dead soldiers suckers and losers which was denied by the chief of staff, by john kelly and new trump hater john bolton. they have no problem pushing that but they have got to stop the "new york post" from peugeot putting -- out emails that have not been denied by the people that wrote them and a laptop that was dropped off to an american company, not a russian disinformation campaign. it's unbelievable and here's the other problem. it's happening through. they stopped charlie kirk posted something about election problems with pennsylvania. they froze his account. they stop scott atlas' account. they are doing this in realtime. while we sit there and hear about how bad they're, they are winning with 15 days left they are stopping messages from getting through social media.

they are winning. >> yeah, i'm not sure they are. the stripes sand effect is real, you know. they think they are winning but i'm not so sure they are. censor scott atlas a trained medical professional who has a tip on the coronavirus with some advice yet the mcclatchey article about michael cohen meeting in prague with russians which is debunked by even the mueller report you can still read that on twitter no problem. steve: dan, we wanted -- excuse me, i'm still choked up from seeing the kids. we wanted to play you. >> you should be. steve: joe biden from thursday when he had this advice to police. listen. >> you can ban chokeholds but beyond that you have to teach people how to deescalate circumstances. deescalate. so, instead of anybody coming at you and the first thing you do is shoot to kill, you shoot them in the leg. steve: okay, police officer is that sound advice? shoot them in the leg? >> this may be the single

dumbest sound bite in the history of presidential politics. i mean, i don't know if i can think of a dumber one. this is one of those moments where you almost have to quote joe biden come on, man. like this guy actually said this on television running for office? this is a serious question. has he ever talked to a police officer about why we don't shoot people in the leg? i mean, i hate that we have to do a basic primmer on common sense use of force. the reason law enforcement officers don't aim for people's legs is because god forbid you are in a scenario where you have to employ potentially deadly force which a firearm of course is. you don't do it to kill. we are not trained to shoot to kill. there is limited circumstances, suicide bombers things like that. generally speaking you shoot to stop what's happening. someone is doing something that could cause someone death or serious physical injury. you need to stop it. the best way to stop it, not the nicest but the west bay to do which is to employ a firearm which could be deadly. the reason you shoot center mass and trained to do it.

that's the greatest likelihood of stopping factivity. you don't shoot the legs because they move. it's very hard to hit someone in the leg. you are likely not going to stop what is likely and someone is going to die. but joe biden is not smart enough to ask someone that and the "wall street journal" has a great interview this weekend with fred siegel. everyone should read it. former liberal. he talks about this pc environment. they him what's political correctness. >> the inability to speak truth to the obvious. this is obvious to anyone who has ever even known someone in law enforcement. why we do what we do. and joe biden is totally unaware of it. brian: dumber than dumb. ainsley, tell him about this last one? ainsley: watch this video. this is unbelievable. guy out on the street. he has a torch. he has a big wooden strict and lights thstick andlights the enl throws it inside the car. watch this. >> police, stop, dude.

[gunfire] dan, some officers are leaving that department. 39 officers left that department in september. that is double the highest of any month that they have had on record. >> yeah, this is the most predictable public safety crisis in american history. again, we go back to the inability to speak truth to the obvious. when you attack police officers, you threaten police officers, you make them political footballs, tossing them back and forth. you let criminals out of jail and you engage in bail reform before you engage in criminal justice reform, and i mean putting people in jail who have broken the law. what are you going to get? of course you are going to get police officers unhappy with the job who don't feel like they are being backed up by political air quotes leaders and of course they are going to leave. what was not predictable about this, ainsley. i mean, seriously. think about your own job. management team every day that hated your guts and went out and gave public statements about how awful you all were.

perry bell lamb my was convicted of luring him to the murder site. told the state parole board he had nothing to do with the murder and sorry it happened. rouhani's co-workers and union are outraged over the release. california woman found alive and well in zion national park for 12 days. holly was reported missing when she failed to show up for shuttle bus after hiking in the park. search and rescue crews were able to find the avid hiker after a tip from a park visitor. holly has been reunited with her family and as can you imagine they are overjoyed to have her back. a school district is reportedly dismissing two students for taking remote learning classes out of state. jeffrey emit says he decided to rent his new york house out and stay with a relative in missouri after finding out his children could learn remotely anywhere. however, the school district said his kids will be removed from classes this week because they haven't picked a return

date. emit says is he looking to appeal the decision. that's interesting. send it back to you. steve: why do they care? ainsley: a lot of people are doing that. steve: crazy. ainsley: bizarre. all right. thank you, jillian. total coast cases worldwide passing 40 million now as hot spots are starting to grow in europe. dr. janette nesheiwat says america is better prepared for a second wave now and she is going to explain that next. since pioneering the suv in 1935, the chevy suburban has carried many things. nothing more important than family. introducing the most versatile and advanced chevy suburban and tahoe ever.

this aberrant disease, ainsley. it's a matter of remaining compliant with our mitigation strategies to make sure that we don't see an increase in the number of cases which could potentially lead for some people to more hospital admissions and sometimes more people end up in the icu and see increase in the number of fatalities the. the goal is to remember not get zero number of cases but to just flatten the curve. we don't want to overwhelm the healthcare systems. we don't want to stretch doctors and nurses and first responders thin. so we really need to make sure that we remain compliant with our mitigation efforts. practice social distancing. wear your mask. avoid hot spots. keep your hands washed and cleaned. get your flu shot that sort of thing. ainsley: we keep hearing we are so over this trying to take extra precautions to stay safe wash our hands so we don't get it. dr. anthony fauci was interviewed on "60 minutes" and they were asking him about a national lockdown. and this is what he had to say. >> how bad would things have to get for you to advocate a

national lockdown. >> they would have to get really really bad. first of all, the country is fatigued with restrictions. so, instead of having an opposition, open up the economy, get jobs back or shut down. no. put shut down away and say we are going to use public health measures to help us safely to get to where we want to go. ainsley: dr. nesheiwat, does that sound on par with what your patients are saying? >> absolutely, ainsley a lockdown, a shutdown should be avoided at all cost. if anything last resort. i have taken care of hundreds of covid patients this past year. and i have seen first hand the detrimental impact that the shut down has had. severe anxiety, depression, in ceased alcohol use. increased opioid use. substancenc ae abuse. we have even seen increase in the number of suicides by about 30%. so it can have really truly a significant medical mental, physical and emotional impact if we shut down and for my

patients, the lock down has been worse medically for them. mentally for them than the virus itself. for many of my patients, so, instead, let's focus our efforts on heeding the guidelines. let's focus our efforts on those who are most vulnerable. let's protect our seniors, our elderly. those with co-morbidities and practice those centers for disease control glins. i know it's difficult and hard to do. acquiring that disease for some people can be even worse. ainsley: we are all just holding out hopes that these clinical trials are successful for the vaccine there was video that was released of the production line at pfizer over in the u.k. and rolling out all these violation of the vaccine. they say it's ready to go. they have several hundred thousand doses as long as these clinical trials are successful. they are ready to ship them out. here is some of the video of the vaccine. what are your thoughts? how close are we? >> yeah we are. we are close. imam really super excited about. this if the pfizer vaccine have

two dozens. 100 million doses by the end of the year. one of the end of the doses is logistics, distribution of the vaccine. who is going to get it first? we need to make sure it gets to nursing homes most vulnerable. fortunately the military will be deployed to help us distribute this vaccine to those who need it the most and rest of the country hopefully by march, april, the rest of the country will be able to have access to this vaccine which will be two dozens. so probably by end of snof very exciting. help us reduce the transition of this disease. ainsley: dr. nesheiwat, thank you so much. we have more "fox & friends" coming up. it's still warm. ♪ thanks, alice says hi. for some of us, our daily journey is a short one.

and time is wasting ainsley. ainsley: two more weeks and one day. so the debate ois on thursday. kristen welker is going to be the moderator and she chose the topics. here are her topics, covid-19, fighting for america. race and climate change national security and leadership. brian: we did these topics already. shall who knows pop up in the town hall. can we get something on the economy? shouldn't that be number one? and when you talk about climate change are they going to debate the paris climate deal? are there going to be talking about, of course, race relations? we going to know the same thing they are going to be going backs and forth on. the key is what jason miller brought up. jason miller says listen, the president realizes he has got to let joe biden finish because joe biden can often be his worst enemy. listen. >> i wish we were spending a lot

more time going into foreign policy president trump has peace deal is he able to point to. when you talk about style and approach, i do think that president trump will give joe biden a little bit more room to explain himself on some of these issues. whether it is are you the chairman? are you the big guy as we have seen articulated in these emails? do you support packing the court? i think the president is going to want to hear joe biden's answer on some of these and definitely give him all the time packing the court get it on thursday. brian: one thing mike pence did great tactic in the riles you r. if the moderator decides to move on and have you something to say you say okay. i will answer that question but, jewels to what joe biden just said. i'm going to finish that up that topic that moderator cannot stop you from going back and finish up that topic. even if they try to change subjects. and that is within the rules. that is how the president should approach it. there is really no other way.

because if you interrupt the whole time, they will move to the next topic and you -- we saw what happened the first time with that. steve: right. exactly. so you have got to figure the president is going to try to bring up hunter biden in some. brian: has. to say. steve: the base loves to hear that stuff. but what the consultants are telling the president is in the race to the final 15 days. do as much about the economy as you possibly can and essentially the best message is president trump built a great economy. then covid screwed things up. and president trump is better at rebuilding than joe biden. that's the message they would like to see. ainsley: so now people are asking about this moderator, who is she. where does she lean? does she lean toward a certain political party? brian: guess. ainsley: here is flashback at some of her interview. >> are you giving russian president vladimir putin the upper hand heading into your talks? >> that's such dishonest reporting. >> mr. president, dr. fauci said

earlier this week the lag in testing was in fact a failing. do you take responsibility for that? >> no, i don't take responsibility at all. what i said to many of you multiple times this is the system. the system was not designed for what it was designed for. it worked very well. >> overrides. >> hypothetical. [talking at the same time] >> faith communities reopen? >> this tweet he sent out he was in no way condoning violence. >> president have facts before he tweets things out president of the united states. >> you are accusing the democrats of having a dark and gloomy message. trump said yesterday i'm the only thing standing between the american dream total anarchy madness and chaos. how is that positive? brian: she is often the most abrasive. most dismissive reporter in all those briefings. and you look at her background. if you were her biggest fan. if you were part of the debate

council why would you bring someone in family given close to $20,000 to president obama. $3,300 to the biden campaign. her family to 2100 to hillary clinton's campaign and 7300 to the dnc since 2004 and twice she was in and out of registering as a democrat you pick the topics clearly from the democratic playbook and have somebody on the record extremely decisive towards this administration. obviously dismissive. why would you do that fresh off steve scully what he just said from c-span doing what he just did with his pictures with joe biden along with we know his years working with ted kennedy? steve: well, we had joe concha with us about an hour ago. he said this about her being the moderator. listen. >> i expect what we have seen already in town halls in terms of a fixed fight going oin. kristen welker's dad alone

donated 20,000 to do so president obama's re-election efforts. so what does that tell us here can we pick a moderator that doesn't have any ties to the democratic party like steve scully? we can't trust the process it seems anymore. ainsley: she is going to have a loot of pressure on her especially that all of this is coming out. i hope that she can be. i think it actually can help the other candidate if she asks interrogating questions, good questions. that's going to help her. but if she asks questions that are biased to one person and not the other, it could actually bring out the undecided voter, i think, and help the underdog, brian? brian: i think reince priebus is going to be helping the president with debate prep. governor christie. maybe that coaching didn't work well. ainsley: do you think he needs to get coached, brian? he is doing this rally twice day. brian: here is an example. when it comes to climate change, well, we want clean air and clean water. is the president going to look

into the paris climate change and say here is the problem? american taxpayer dollars were going to be going to other countries in order for their climate change philosophies to be put into -- policies to be put into effect? are you okay with that? are you okay with the fact that russia and china had 10 years to come into compliance rather than russia and china doesn't have to do anything? if you come back with stuff that he knows but doesn't know specific that's called preparation. and that's when people say wait a second, we are doing things the right way. natural gas is not evil. we are exporting it at dizzying level. talk about the way he has gone over to europe and say you want us to protect us from russia witbutyou are taking their natus when we make natural gas that burns clean and what it means for the economy and what solyndra meant for the economy and governmental projects on climate change and what they have done to our economy. and basically this battery technology that we jammed down everybodiens throat that didn't work during the biden years. steve: that's going to be one of

the topics. hear what everybody says. brian: busy week on capitol hill. senate judiciary committee of amy coney barrett's nomination to the suprem supreme court. senate also set to vote on two covid-19 tomorrow and wednesday. ainsley: up first a vote to subpoena bitter ceo jack dorsey blocking the report on hunter biden. griff jenkins is live in washington to break it all down for us. busy week, griff. it? >> is, indeed, brian, ainsley, and steve. good morning to you. in any normal election year you would be hard pressed to find a member of congress in washington this close to an election. but not so this week as you mentioned the senate judiciary committee voting on thursday to confirm judge barrett. before that a couple of votes on mcconnell's skinny $500 billion covid relief bill. if that passes speaker pelosi isn't likely to acknowledge it because it isn't the product of her negotiations which is pretty much her way or the highway. big fires are going to fly when the big tech ceos get a

have been investigated and possibly prosecuted? griff: this as biden in north carolina rarpsd up his signature attack on the president over his pandemic response. watch? >> trump said at one of his rallies we have turned the corner. my grandfather would say this guy has gone around the bend if he thinks we have turned the corner. [horns beeping] >> we love you, joe. >> turn the corner? things are getting worse. continues to lie to us about the circumstances. griff: we won't hear from biden today. is he off the campaign trail presumably preparation for thursday's debate while the president will hold two rallies in arizona later today. brian, ainsley, steve? brian: yeah. it's unbelievable. the mvp on your team is outworking your entire team. the 74-year-old is a one man team. it's like michael jordan had four players just stand around and watch him play. thanks, griff. appreciate it. jillian mele, you have the rest of the news.

paycheck? is my small business going to get more help? i can't tell with you any clarity. everything is up in the air. let me go through it. there is going to be a vote on tuesday in the senate for paycheck protection extension there is a vote in the senate on wednesday on the so-called skinny bill. more paycheck protection. 100 billion for the schools. money for the vaccine. and its distribution. that's all coming up in the senate tuesday and wednesday. those votes are going probably going nowhere. speaker pelosi has given the president an you will may tim, get a deal by tomorrow, tuesday, and i want $2.2 trillion or we walk and there is nothing by the election. president trump over the weekend has come through with another big offer. he wants to go higher than pelosi what you have got is confusion. vote in the senate going nowhere. ultimatum by the speaker and big new offer, he says from the president. so nobody knows exactly what's going to happen. i will tell you this, wall street thinks you are going to

get something. wall street is going to rally again today. stock prices going up again today. you are close to record highs. i have to believe that wall street believes we'll get something, some form of stimulus. steve: stuart, what does wall street think about joe biden's tax plan because i heard him at that town hall on thursday in philly. and he was talking about higher capital gains which, if you are an investor, you got 401(k) money and things like that. it will greatly impact you. >> yes, it will. there is no clarity on what to expect from wall street or the economy if there is a blue wave. by a blue wave, i mean biden wins the white house. and the democrats retake the senate. that's a democrat sweep. steve: unified government. >> unified government. tell us what you will. if you get that blue sweep i just can't see that being good news for stock prices or the economy. the first thing they are going to do is raise taxes on

business. raise taxes on wealthy people. that takes money out of the private sector. gives it to the government for redistribution. and on this points about capital gains. i would not be at all surprised to see a lot of selling this year. november and december. because if you have made money in the market, under a sell this year you will pay a low capital gains tax sweep. if you sell next year take a profit you will pay a much higher capital gains rate. the impetus is towards more selling this year if you think there is going to be a blue wave that hits us next year. have you got some clarity out of this? because i haven't. ainsley: thank you so much, stuart. good to see you this morning. >> sure thing. see you soon. ainsley: still ahead, american hero from the greatest generation getting special praise from the president. >> 100-year-old veteran right here.

absolutely unbelievable. i am kind of embarrassed but it unbelievable, thank you. ainsley: cat, you were there as his escort. you are also a veteran. what did it mean to you. >> it means everything in the world that i can take these -- our veterans and the ones that they the ones that lead us to where we are today. it's an honor and especially to bring them in front of their commander-in-chief, it's just a great feeling. ainsley: congressman, i saw on your social media account you had a video interviewing him and with all the music playing in the background, why was it important to talk to mr. halett. >> he is being humble. he flew over normandy d-day shot down twice and dusted himself off and kept going and stayed in the fisa for all of our freedom so that we all wake up every morning in america breathing free air and these are the types

of heroes american children needing to learning about in school. not actors in hollywood that play heroes not athletes that kneel before the flag. these are the heroes we need to be celebrating celebrating as ae commander-in-chief president trump recognized him in that way that everyone at the rally just stopped what they were doing and get on their feet and cheer a patriot like this was just really moving and despite all our frustrations in washington or around the country, this is something we need to be celebrating, major hallet. >> it is a major american hero. ainsley: major hallett why are you supporting president trump? what will he do for veterans? >> look what he has done for the country. he has brought us out of we were in bad shape when he first took over. the guy has just done wonders for this country. he is not a politician. he has come in there and did

everything he said he was going to do. if he had any support at all from the other side, imagine what this country would be like. they fought him every step of the way. the minute he was -- even before he was elected they fought him. and he just has done wonders and give the guy a break but, instead they try to get rid of him from day one. fought him every step of the way and, yet, he has done a wonderful job. i wish they would get off his back. ainsley: cat, how about you? why are you supporting him? >> look what he has done for our veterans like the mission act. i flifs an rural area of polk county. so many veterans had to travel over an hour, hour and a half to get care. now with the mission act they can seek care right there in our own hometown or wherever they live. it's really a good thing. ainsley: congressman, what was the crowd like? i understand it was very hot there but a lot of people still came out. >> well, you know, it was florida sun was out that day.

i mean, the paramedics were busy. some people were having a hard time. not major hallett he was up front saluting the commander-in-chief and really talking about and enjoying with everyone what this president has done for veterans. what he has done for the military. we now have the equipment we need, the training we need, the support we need. to defend this country down range. ainsley, very quickly i want to give major hallett one of my coins for outstanding leadership and what he has done for this nation. ainsley: so sweet of you. he definitely deserves you. what advice do you have. >> what does it mean to me? ainsley: yes, sir. >> without a question of the doubt it's the greatest country in the world. everybody in the world wants to come here so obviously it's without a question it's the finest country in the world.

look what we have done. we have fought wars for everybody else. yet we have never taken over any country. we turn around. we win around and those countries better. we never taken over the country and ruled t turned it back to their people and made it better themselves. without a question, it's the finest country infantry in the world. i am so happy to be an american. ainsley: gosh. we need that message more than ever. what advice do you have for us? >> put president trump back in. give him another four years. ainsley: congressman, cat, major, thank you so much for being with us. god bless you all. >> thank you. >> you are welcome. ainsley: i loved him. is he great. yeah. democratic senator and biden surrogate chris coons sending this warning to his party. >> you shouldn't take anything for granted in these last few weeks and it is still possible for president trump to win

brian: lying, day, noon and night wha perhaps or saying whas he going to do and what he did unlike joe biden who is going to be in bed for five days and took saturday off. let's bring in newt gingrich, fox news contributor former speaker of the house author of trump and the american future. so 15 days left, 15 days left, mr. speaker, and have you warning from chris coons to other democrats and tom pres to other democrats we haven't won yet. >> well, and they are not going to win. i watched a rally. several trump rallies thaty mtz 15 to 20,000 range. this is exactly repeat of 2016.

kindergarten keep up. state to state 15 to 20,000 people for a visit. the human effect that has is amazing. furthermore, biden can't answer about hunter biden and the chinese ukraine russia involvement involving millions of dollars. that's why is he hiding. he can't answer about packing the supreme court. go down the list. biden's hope is that the national media will protect him. that twitter will protect him he will sweep into the white house work every other day and kamala harris the rest of the time. amazing three weeks out to have a candidate take five days off. people ought to think about that. brian: and saturday. >> okay, six days off. steve: it does sound as if he is

preparing for the debate. but he was asked a really tough question yesterday. what flavor of milk shake did he order. so, thursday is going to be the second and final debate, into the. what does the president need to do? >> well, i mean my hope is that he will be more like he was with savanna guthrie. calm. i thought he was too intense and aggressive with chris wallace. i hope they will really think it through. go in there first of all, he ought to let biden talk some. biden doesn't help himself talking. if you watched the "saturday night live" version of biden, it's a continuous process of boredom. and it has now become an art form on "saturday night live" to show how boring biden is i would think the president, he only has two or three big questions. are you going to pack the court or not? are you going to admit that you

knew about your son making tens of millions of dollars from china, ukraine or russia or not? are you going to admit that huge tax increases are going to cause a depression. he doesn't have to cross two or three or four big things in that debate. relax and work on it. other thing can say. back when i was 2 millions lives by stopping the flight from china. stopping the flights from europe. ramping up the production of health equipment. you opposed every step of it. now you want us to protend like you and you didn't do it. but the truth is, biden was opposed as was pelosi to every single step trump took in the first two months of the covid pandemic. ainsley: took office sat down with nancy pelosi. they will don't talk anymore because they had some heated exchanges. she says she hasn't talked to him in a year. we can still negotiate and work things out. here she is. listen to this. >> let me say without the two of

us speaking person to person but it is through the airwaves or through the president's interred me areas we were able in that period of time to pass a huge omnibus bill to keep government open. working with secretary mnuchin then. so it isn't as if it has to be person-to-person between the speaker and the president. it has to be knowledge for knowledge in terms of what we -- what our purpose is, how we strategically put something together that will get the votes and the signature to improve the lives of the american people. >> mr. speaker, you were once the speaker. how would that have affected policy and the american public if you don't sit down with the president? >> well, look, i mean, i think in an ideal world you ought to have a much better relationship which i have most of the time with president clinton. we met, i think, 35 days in hammering out a balanced budget. but, i think that frankly, steve mnuchin and mark meadows have

done a pretty good job substituting and having negotiations with nancy. the fact is when you had dianne feinstein hug lindsey graham and tell him he run a great hearing in the judiciary committee. she had democrats demanding that she step down because they are so bitterly opposed to any sign of friendship with republicans. and i have to say, if i had been president and somebody tore up the state of the union that evening, even more than impeachment and all this other stuff that level of contempt by her doesn't exactly help create any kind of relationship that's positive. brian: i understand. mr. speaker, thanks so much. we will see if we get something this week on a stimulus package. a rescue package and we see if we get oint out of committee. thanks so much, speaker. >> thank you. brian: let's go over to jillian you have the other breaking news. >> let's begin with this. the u.s. schedules first federal

>> absolute mayhem. as soon as we came out of the gate started receiving small arms fire. the raid for me became a near ambush. brian: wow, we are going to take a real look inside the real life black hawk down. saw the movie but time to see the real story. the mission is going to be unwound in a fox news -- fox nation special called battle of mogadishu battalion of brothers. here with an inside look with

the 18 hour fire fight someone of those brave army rangers platoon leader larry moore with the third battalion. larry, what was it like going through this battle again? >> it's good. it's good to let the american public know what these rangers and special operators do to carry large weight for our nation. so, again, any time as veterans we can reconnect and tell our story, i think that's important. > brian: what was the role of your unit? >> my role, i was the rightful platoon leader in the rangers. and i led the ground reaction force in the humvees so we fought all night to get to the two crash sites aircraft. >> here is a clip from the special. let's listen. >> in the blink of an eye, everything changed. >> i looked a dozen times to see the streak of a rocket come in and hit him right in the tailbone. and the helicopter immediately lurched and went into a violent

spin. >> i looked up and see a blackhawk spinning rotating down. call came up we had a blackhawk going down. >> and then when you hear that, what was the mission then? >> well, obviously, once the blackhawk were hit it. changed the entire scope of the mission it. changed with a was supposed to be a 30 to 45 minute operation into a an 18-hour fight to get all of our casualties and wounded folks out of the city. brian: right. and it was supposed to be a 30 minute mission. how long was it? >> started at 3:00 sunday afternoon and went all the way through about 9:00 the following morning. about 18 hours of constant fighting. brian: larry is, it hard to remember? this must be humanitarian mission. george bush 41 we were there to feed people who were starving to death and it ended up being this epic battle between war lords, right? >> that's correct.

but, task force ranger was not brought in there as part of the peace keeping effort. separate element so we didn't get into any mission creep. we were not there as peace creep keepers. we were there as peace enforcers. brian: what are you most proud of? >> most proud of leading rangers of working with our fine soldiers and being part of an operation that's great legacy for our army rangers and our nation. brian: what stats should people take away to understand the magnitude of this mission? >> >> i don't think it's a specific statistic. i think this mission, you know, changed a lot of what we do and special operations community. changed a lot going forward. our lessons learned were pivotal current war fighting today? brian: another reason to get fox nation. the battle of mogadishu, battalion of brothers features some of the same army rangers who fought in the 1993 battle. thanks so much, larry, appreciate it. >> great. thank you. brian: all right. coming up next a new social

i think given the pandemic so many people just want the make sure their vote counts, that's why we see early voting. that's, ainsley, why we see -- and that's why i have just a little laryngitis -- brian: and that's whiskey, right? steve: hot water. ainsley: let's bring in mark meadows who is also sober this morning. good morning to you. >> great to be with you. ainsley: president trump has a rally today the, two of them, he was in nevada, and he was calling what's happening with hunter biden, the media censoring the story, not asking questions, he i says their family is a criminal enterprise. what do you say about it? ghel, it certainly looks that withdraw, and it's not just about hunter biden, it's about joe biden. and i think the way the media has treated this -- one standard for donald trump, one standard for joe biden and really the way that twitter is i trying to make sure that the story doesn't get out, but here's what i can tell

you. i'm not aware of any russian disinformation campaign that would involve these e-mails or this laptop, no defensive briefing to my knowledge has been given. and so all of this narrative that is out there that would suggest that it's not real, that's the disinformation. you know, adam schiff came on and said, oh, this is russia, russia, russia again. i can tell you, this is adam schiff once again trying to spin a story that's not accurate. i think in the days to come you'll see that joe biden will have a lot to answer for. brian: we'll see, because i looked at some of the topics for the debate on thursday, and it's not there, tell me about your family ties. which, by the way, they might want to talk about the president and the new york times story with taxes. but keep in mind joe biden, this e-mail, if the russians did this, that means the russians would have had to have asked hunter biden to drop off his laptop at the local repair shop,

leave it there, not come back to get it, and then this guy called fbi. mark meadows, you're the chief of staff of the president -- [laughter] if he called fbi and the fbi answered like he said, what do they have to say about this? is anything being done at the white house the ask the fbi who chris wray, ea appointed by the president, was this laptop dropped off? what do they think about what it contains? >> well, obviously, senator ron johnson has made an inquiry with senator grassley on that very subject. bill barr and the fbi need to actually make sure the american people know the truth. i think what you'll -- i talked to director ratcliffe over the weekend, and i said, listen, if this is a russian disinformation campaign, we need to make sure the american people know that. his response to me is, is that he had no knowledge of that. hopefully, he'll be addressing that in the coming days. brian: right. >> but i can tell you this,

here's the interesting thing is, we're starting now to find additional information that would suggest that joe biden acted inappropriately. and so just like he needs to answer the packing the court decision? he needs to answer about this. but, you know, you're right on this debate stage, i, i'm very doubtful that he'll get the hard, pressing questions request like president trump has continued to get and continues to answer. steve: well, mr. meadows, the only thing the biden campaign said is that he never met with that guy, according to his official schedule. but they're, the campaign is not disputing the basic facts. and so the longer they go, the more curious it gets. >> well, it's not just curious, steve. here's the interesting thing is, is not only are they not denying it, but they -- joe biden says, oh, he's never talked to hunter about his business. well, we now know based on e-mails that that's not correct. so it's time that he comes clean with the american people, and

it's time for twitter to make sure that they quit their censoring process to make sure that this story doesn't get out. ainsley: so biden's team facing some criticism because the deep connections to big tech. if you look at the transition team, jest that hertz now on biden's transition team, she's a facebook executive. carlos monet is twitter's director of public policy, so they're hiring these people from social immediate media to come d work for the campaign. do you think this influences how these social media companies, what news they're allowing to be public? >> well, i think it certainly does. i mean, carlos is someone that we actually interacted with before he went over to work for the biden transition team. i can tell you that as we look at the level of activity that we're seeing with twitter, if there's any interference in the election, it's by twitter and facebook right now and trying to put a particular narrative out

there. they're going to have not only a problem with the american people, but they're going to have a problem with congress as this will bring republicans and democrats together to make sure that they, once and for all, are held accountable for their actions. brian: i know, but, mark, there's 15 days left. you're going to get the ceo of twitter out, and he's going to act concerned and apologize for acting too quick, but aren't they accomplishing their goal? facebook and twitter are stopping the message of the white house and the current president from getting out. they stopped scott atlas' post because they said it was the irresponsible. they stopped "the new york post" because they said that it was disinformation. they're accomplishing their goal while everyone acts disdainful and brings them in front of congress. >> well, they are accomplishing their goal because they have two standards, one for one campaign, one for the other. but i do believe that additional lawsuits will be filed perhaps as early as today to go after

that. listen, it's not just the campaigns. they're now starting to censor, actually, reporters. that's a dangerous place for them to go when they're the arbiter of what they deem to be the truth when, in fact, even the blocking of this new york post story, they did it based on a premise that was not accurate, and they'll come to find that out in the coming days. they acted like it was hacking. and even with their own guidelines, it would be hard to justify that. steve: all right. let's talk a little bit about capitol hill. what's the latest with the deal between mnuchin and nancy pelosi? >> is secretary mnuchin and i spoke a couple of times yesterday. obviously, he's had ongoing talking speaker pelosi. we're making very, very good progress. and part of that is because of the president has asked the secretary and myself to stay engaged, to make sure that we provide enough financial assistance for those that are

hurting. in fact, the president has talked about increasing the amount of direct payments to americans across the country, increase the amount of money that we're giving to those small businesses that are hurting. and so we remain committed negotiating and also committed to making sure that we get a deal as quickly as possible. if nancy pelosi will be reasonable, she'll find the president of the united states to be reasonable, and we'll get something across the finish line. ainsley: do you remember when she said they have arrows in their quiver? >> yeah. ainsley: they were trying to block judge barrett, coney barrett from becoming a jus are dis? well, she was asked about it, if they're planning on derailing the vote. listen to this. >> is this a done deal, or is there still something democrats can do to stop it? >> well, we'll see. i'm not in the senate. i don't -- what i'm talking about is how we one this election. we win this election. because we have to offset whatever the outcome of this, whatever this court may do.

and the house, the congress of the united states can overturn these bad decisions. ainsley: so what do you think about that? she's basically saying this is a done deal, there's nothing i can do about it? >> well, obviously, we have an extremely well qualified individual that has been nominated. she's done a pretremendous job -- a tremendous job, continues to answer all of congress' questions, so i don't know there's much they can do procedurally. but what she was hinting at there is that after amy coney barrett is confirmed by the senate, joe biden and congress are going to try to add a number of justices to the supreme court so that they can tilt it their way. it's not the way that it should be, it's not the way that the american people expect it to be, you know? this is -- nine justices have served us well. you don't add justices just to get your way. brian rune chris coons, basically, who wants to be secretary of state if joe biden wins, listen to what i he said. >> like joe biden, i'm not a fan

of expanding the court, but we have a few weeks to see whether there are four republicans who will step back from this precipice. it is the republican majority that's responsible for racing forward with this extreme, unqualified nominee. unqualified because of her extreme judicial philosophy. we happen to be in the fact pattern where we have a president biden, we'll have to looked at what the right steps are to are e balance our federal judiciary. >> so your mind is open about adding justices to the supreme court, yes or no, just your mind is opensome. >> yes. brian: so that's a yes. >> yeah: that's a yes. senator coons and joe biden and all of them, this is the worst kept secret in washington d.c. this has nothing to do with the confirmation of a very qualified conservative judge. it has everything to do with trying to get their leftist agenda implemented new the courts because -- through the courts because they can't do it in congress because they are further left than the american people. brian: just a quick thing on the

stimulus package. mitch mcconnell's not the one onboard. president wants to go bigger, he's only going to do a skinny bill, $500 billion. it's going to go nowhere, and a lot of people out there are hurting. no one wants deficit spending, but this pandemic has people gnat on their back. something's got to change. what can you do, mark, to make a change? i know you don't love spending either -- [laughter] you're conservative by trade, but having said that, this is extraordinary times. >> yeah. the president has been very clear on this particular item because he actually believes that there's so many people hurting that we need to lean into this. i've talked to leader mcconnell a couple of times. the reason why the leader is bringing this forward, he says at least we agree on these aprils at $500 -- principles at $500 billion. but the other thing he did say is that if the speaker and the president can come together in a bipartisan deal, he'll bring it to the floor, it will get a vote, is and hopefully we'll get stimulus on the way to the

american people. steve: all right, we're watching. >> thanks. steve: thank you. 8:11 now here in new york city. time for some news. >> good morning. police arresting a man with a knife after a standoff in hollywood. the lapd says the man ran into the studio lot after they tried arresting hum for sexual assault. police hit him with a taser and bean bag rounds before shooting at him. he he barricaded himself inside a building before getting arrested. he's now in the hospital with unknown injuries. total covid-19 cases worldwide topping 40 million overnight. over 1,113,000 people have died. over 27 million people is have recovered. more than a dozen countries marking record highs for new cases. fox news medical contributor dr. janette nesheiwat joined us earlier. >> lockdowns should be a last resort, but we are seeing a spike. and we do have a bit of a challenge ahead of us in battling this aberrant disease.

calling. it was quite a surprise. brian: yeah. so here's the quote from the biden spokesperson when he saw the fact that you said this and there was pushback when reality came in, said the boilermakers endorsed joe biden twice and have never supported donald trump, over 16 national unions back biden, including some that have never endorsed a presidential candidate before. in the past you guys have own doored him -- endorsed him? >> no. the past election the national union did not endorse anybody. we have not heard for anybody in the biden camp in pittsburgh. brian: tell me what the boilermakers have to do with fracking. >> well, we have a lot to do with the petrochemical industry, the new cracker plant being built in beaver county, we have a lot of workers there. a lot of the new gas plants are involved in the fracking. there's a good future here for our industry, and it's good for

the pittsburgh area. brian brian that's why some local chapters have endorsed donald trump, right? >> yes, sir. yes, sir. joe biden has nothing in his green energy plan, the new green plan has nothing for the boil makers. brian: right. >> so we have to do what's best for our members. we have -- you have unanimous support for donald trump from the northeast area section of the states. brian: and, by the way, natural gas burns clean. if you are green oriented, you should embrace natural gas, shouldn't you? >> yes. and the other part is you can't have a green world without fossil fuel. if you look into it, you need fossil fuel to make solar panels, you need fossil fuel for windmills. fossil fuel is part of everyday life. so to i eliminate fossil fuels, i don't think, is possible. brian: yeah. and when you try to, when you try to power a electric car, it's usually powered by a coal plant, right? >> yes. [laughter]

that is correct. if. brian: so it's amazing. you're not running from clean air and clean water, you're looking to help. but why destroy your industry along the way? what does it take for people to get that through their heads? >> yes. well, we're boiler merricks, we're outdoorsmen. we can do it clean. there's carbon capture sequestration out there, new technologies. if they would just let us do it, you know, our utilities industry, they have done it themselves. they're paid the cost. you know, we have the cleanest right now, we have beat the paris accord already. the state of pennsylvania, we're below all of the mission credit es that we need to be already. so if they'd just leave us alone, leave our industry alone, these are good jobs, you know, sustaining pay jobs. so it's good for this area, it's good for the state of pennsylvania, and we just don't feel joe biden is right for us.

brian: well, yeah. he wants to go right back into that aaccord, meaning taxpayer dollars are going into other countries and their plans. it makes no sense, especially when we're in the deficit we are with hard working people like you pushing us forward, taking on saudi arabia with our oil and gas industry. john, thanks so much for straightening that out. so if joe biden uses that, he'll be saying something that is not true. thanks, john hughes. >> thank you. brian: all right. meanwhile, strait ahead, families who lost loved ones to covid-19 holding a mock funeral for governor andrew cuomo's leadership during the pandemic. our next guest helped organize it. they join us live of with a message for governor cuomo. ever. washington is a red zone. the commander in chief, senators, secret service agents, staff... infected. but donald trump and mitch mcconnell will stop at nothing to jam through a lifetime supreme court appointment. failing to stop the spread across the country.

♪ ♪ ainsley: new york families who lost loved ones in nursing homes due to covid-19 holding a mock funeral for governor andrew cuomo's leadership and integrity. the family members had more than 6,000 torn pages of cuomo's new book, each page representing a life lost from the coronavirus. our next guest lost their 89-year-old father who was a patient in brooklyn and helped

organize that event yesterday. daniel and peter join us now. good morning to you. >> good morning. >> good morning. ainsley: david, why was it important to do this yesterday, to have this mock funeral? >> the importance of it was people have been trying to get traction on an apology on the truth, and our governor, unfortunately, has prevented that. he wrote a book instead, and my brother peter came up with the idea of let's hold a mock funeral as part of our mourning process and the many thousands of others who couldn't mourn for his book. he shouldn't have been focused on a book, we should be focused on truth. truth is all we ask for. ainsley: peter, what was the turnout like yesterday? >> the turnout was quite amazing to me. it was heart felt because i met other people that lost parents and grandparents, and we

became -- we bonded, unfortunately. and i met people i shouldn't have met. but we all became covid orphans. and when i heard that he was coming out with a book, my brother five months ago was on cnn, and they asked my brother what do you want from the governor. my brother asked for an a e apology -- apology. five months later we still haven't received a sincere, heartfelt apology. and i knew when he wrote this book that he was not even going to apologize in this book for a failed directive. and everything that i've seen and watched and read in the last six months about his directive to send covid-potts -- covid-positive patients back to nursing homes has been defensive and defiant. and he has blamed it on everybody except his directive. even yesterday he blamed it on the nursing home staff. and i'd like to just say that i

completely believe that some nursing home staff members brought in covid. i completely believe that some visitors brought in covid. i completely believe that the air brought in covid to nursing homes. but i definitely, absolutely believe that his directive put positive patients in nursing homes, and that's the point. the point is you're a leader, you made a decision, it was wrong. own it just like you own the good decisions you made, and let's move on. and i would say to the governor, call me. let's talk. my family needs an apology. i don't want to -- and i did not want to be a covid orphan, but i am, and there's thousands of us. and we need your humility. we need your empathy. we don't need deflection and defensiveness. ainsley: i'm so sorry for your loss. daniel, tell me what happened to your dad. >> so daddy was an extremely vibrant, i amazingly vibrant 88-year-old, and he got sick

right after christmas. he had a number of illnesses over a three month period, unfortunately, that took a vibrant 88-year-old man who was embedded in our community, we're fifth generation on our block in brooklyn. eventually, head bedridden. he was bedridden. through all that, i was with hum in the hospital and the nursing home to get rehab, to come home, and i we kept finding new things. he was older, right? he turned 89 in the hospital. and his goal was to come home. get strong, come home and live whatever days he had left. he didn't have a decade left like we had all hoped, you know, before this. but he still had lots of life in him, and he was a fighter, so he was trying to get better. the directive come down right before it came out, it was published. the the add -- the administration at our nursing

home said we're forced to do that, bring your father home because they were so engaged with daddy's health. they knew he could do it. unfortunately, through no fault of the medical system, especially through no fault of the nursing home which was fantastic -- in a very, very tough situation, brutal, actually, they were living through -- the hospitals were in bad situations. imagine nursing homes. we couldn't bring him home. he had to get treatment, and the hospital pushed him out and said we're not doing anything that's not life threatening. so we couldn't take him home until the nursing home was able to get a surgeon to come in and do a procedure. as soon as that happened, two days later we brought daddy home. we loved him and were with him 20 hours a day, we had 24-hour care, we had rehab coming in. then on friday he started getting congested.

and i'm like, hmm, that's interesting. and then he started to get a little lethargic on saturday. is so on friday i called the doctor, his doctor, and i said, hey, is there anything we can give him, he's getting congested. the doctor said, well, he might have covid, we have to test. so on monday we tested him at about 1:00 in the afternoon. four in the morning he passed away. 14 hours later. 15 hours later. and then 12 hours after that we got the results back, he was covid positive. ainsley: and you couldn't put that on -- what does his death certificate say? >> heart failure. ainsley: why didn't they put covid? >> he was, he had already died. they had already done the paperwork. and it was done. and the doctors -- the city was shut down. how? how do you do something like that when you can't get anybody on the phone?

ainsley: the governor spokesperson's statement: we mourn with every family who lost someone during this pandemic and hope they look past the misinformation and outright lies that have been manufactured by right-wing agitators and their allies looking to cover for the federal government's many, many failures. how do you feel being called a right-wing agitator, peter? >> i would say that that is misinformation. it is not truthful. i am proudly a lifelong democrat. and it's absolutely insulting. and the coffin, the funeral and all we ask for, we know there was many failures at the city, state and federal level. we know, we lived it that there was no cohesive coordination between the three branches of government. we all know this. but the one thing that i know is that he came out with a directive that is not backed by any scientific proof or anybody

in the health care industry would say sending positive patients back to nursing homes. if we knew anything about the virus in march -- and we didn't know a lot in march -- we knew that if you were over 60 and you had underlying conditions, it was deadly. knowing that fact, how do you send positive people to nursing homes that are 95% filled with people with underlying conditions and over 60? it's only about his order, it's not about the politics around it, it's not about political parties. covid did not know political parties. and, again, i'm a democrat, and i want an apology. >> i'd like to add to that. he's had many excuses for what happened, you know? they didn't have to take him. no nursing home in new york city's ever gone against a directive by the governor. every nursing home that i know -- and there are many -- begged the governor to rescind

that. they begged the governor for ppe. there is no nursing home in new york state that's able to take a highly infectious, deadly disease and -- >> contain it. it's an airborne virus. ainsley: all right. daniel, peter, thank you so much. i'm really sorry for your loss. as beautiful that these two sons are fighting for their dad, he fought for our country, a korean war veteran. god bless you. >> thank you. iowans you're welcome. more "fox & friends," karl rove is coming up next. ok, just keep coloring there...

we take nothing for granted, and the enthusiasm has been all over the country. we have a lot more work to do, but we're expanding the battlegrounds. we're competing in arizona, texas, ohio, iowa, georgia and elsewhere. and that's because we have a candidate who, i think, is just uniquely qualified to bring people together. we have more worked to do, and folks gotta get out there and vote. brian: let's bring in karl rove, fox news contributor, former deputy chief of staff to george w. bush. are you surprised, crl, first off, that vice president biden is taking the next five days off, took saturday off, and the dnc chairperson coming out and saying there are concerns it's a lot closer than it appears? how do those two things gel? >> well, they don't square up. obviously, the former vice president is off the campaign trail because they need to sort of get him prepped for the debate on thursday, and it says something about him that it's

going to take five days off the trail in the final two weeks of the campaign. pretty amazing. can i correct one other thing that perez said? he said they were playing in texas. that's just -- that's not true. they're spending more money on television in nebraska than they are in texas. the idea that joe biden is competing for texas at this date -- early on they made big noises, we're coming hard for texas, we're going to buy a lot of television advertising. seriously, they are spending more in nebraska than they are in texas. steve: there you go. ainsley: what do you make of the campaign events this week? the president's going to be today one -- two places in arizona, one place in pennsylvania tomorrow, the joe biden, kamala harris taking, well, he's taking the time off as we just talked about, and kamala is on monday orlando and jacksonville, today as well. but there's this memo that went out, the biden campaign manager urging against complacency.

every indication to believe that it will come down to the wire, we're only up by 3 points in north carolina and arizona, she says. do you think that -- does this remind you of 2016? who's going to win? >> well, look, we're in the final stages and, yeah, it's going to close, it's going to tighten. i think it's interesting, there was an excellent new york times piece -- i hate to say that, excellent new york times piece -- [laughter] but it was about tv buying patterns. it shows where both campaigns are playing. and the three big, key states are michigan, pennsylvania and wisconsin. for very obvious reasons. trump carried all three by 77,000 votes out of 13 million cast. he got 306 electoral votes. there were 2 faithless electors from texas, those boys haven't been seen since, they're still running. [laughter] if he loses michigan, he's at 290, if he loses pennsylvania, he's at 270 -- which is what you need to win the white house -- if you lose wisconsin, you're at

260 and no longer president. obviously, the candidates are spending a lot of time in those states. but the other thing is biden is playing offense. he's trying to win states that donald trump won, arizona, florida, georgia, iowa. maine too. maine and nebraska split their electoral vote. and then north carolina. that's where they're trying to, the democrats are going to try and take things away. biden is playing defense, similarly, in minnesota and new hampshire, and trump's plague offense in minnesota -- playing offense in minnesota and nevada, two statements that hillary clinton won. if you look at the tv buying patterns, that's really where the race is likely to be settled. take something away from the other guy, trump's trying to make certain he either takes something away in order to compensate for something that he loses, all with the goal of getting to 270 electoral college votes. steve: karl, this hunter biden

e-mail thing kind of an october surprise. the director of national intelligence, john ratcliffe, in the last half hour said that the hunter biden laptop e-mails not part of some russian discuss information campaign because that's what we've heard -- disinformation campaign. that's what we've heard mainstream media say, we've got to investigate if there are ties to russia. he says there are not. >> yeah. this was a direct response to that great font of truth and wisdom, adam schiff, who over the weekend said, quote: we know, we know -- he said -- this came from russia. no, we don't know that. in fact, every bit of evidence suggests this is a, you know, a laptop -- yeah, the russians several years ago thought ahead and said let's have somebody drop off something that looks like hunter biden's laptop at a delaware repair shop. let's plan that, because two years from now or a year and a half from now we're going to need to have this pop up in the last month of the campaign. i don't think so, mr. schiff.

brian: really quick, the president's going to be doing between 2-4 events a day. what are the top three things the president should be saying? >> first of all, the economy and the economic recovery. and second of all, the deep contrast between these two men on things like energy and law enforcement and law and order. but, look, let's step back for just a minute. you put your finger on the most important point. there are 14 days left, 15 days. each day the president has to, in my opinion, be able to say this is the message i want to have today, this is the point that i want to drive home, and at the end of the day my success is going to be value a waited by whether or not -- evaluated by whether or not the headlines on the evening news and in the newspaper and the social media focused on that one big contrast that i wanted to talk about today with joe biden. joe biden wants the election to be, his measure of success is was i able to keep this on a referenda on donald trump's performance in office particularly with regard to

covid, or did i, has the media helped me by grabbing on to some comment the president makes out on the campaign stump? is there anything i can do to point their attention to some side issues that is not as hurtful as, say, a comparison on where we stand on taxes or who's better to restart the economy or do i really want to take away people's private health insurance. i mean, it's going to be an interesting battle between these two campaigns as they maneuver for message. ainsley: all right, karl, thank you for joining us. >> you bet. ainsley: her campaign ad about the reality in baltimore went viral, and she just got a $6 million fundraising boost with one retweet from the president. congressional candidate kimberly classic joins us live next. we asked viewers to pick america's question from our friends at fox bet super 6, and here's the winning question: how many times will joe biden say

congressional candidate herself kimberly klacik. you were down, but traditionally you say the republican trailed about 50 points. where are you now in. >> external and internal polls are showing us down by 12 points, and there's 14% undecided. so i believe we are as close as any republican has ever been. democrats have held the seat for over 53 years, but we're running neck and neck, and i love that we've raised so much money thanks to the president, of course, his retweets. he mentioned us again last night at his rally in wisconsin. we've raised more money since that. every time he mentions us, the better it gets and the harder we're going to fought. brian: your opponent has only raised $184,000. he thought this would be a layup. kimberly, why do you think you can deliver, somebody who would with going in as a rookie? >> you know what? i think we need more rookies.

we see a lot of in-fighting on capitol hill. we still have that stimulus bill just sitting there. we should make that a one-issue item, get people the relief that they need because of the pandemic. i'm willing to work across the aisle, and i'm ready to get things done. we're out there knocking on doors seven days a week, brian, because we work hard. i think that's missing. and also representing the people. we see a lot of people getting wealthy for themselves on capitol hill, but that money never seems to make it to the district, and i want to make sure those billions of dollars that have gone missing in the baltimore area actually makes it. brian: you said something interesting, people are beginning to clean up their areas, starting to do the best they can to do the best for what they have. just by your presence there. >> yeah, absolutely. i mean, we got this started back in july 2019. i don't know if you remember, president trump was talking about the conditions then. and at that point baltimore's department of public works actually did their job afterwards. so president trump, republicans, we're making an impact in

baltimore city. you know, we've registered over 650 people over the past three months, and most of them became independents and republicans as they registered. so i think a lot of people understand now the republican party might just be the way to go. brian: very interesting. so you're already making a huge difference. see if she can close the gap of 12 points in the next 15 days. we did invite your opponent on, we're working with his staff to set up an interview to see what happens. meanwhile, you'll still work 20 hours a day. kimberly klacik, thank you very much. >> thank you. brian: all right.us back in a moment. parodontax is 3x more effective at removing plaque, the main cause of bleeding gums parodontax
