12:00 pm
the night if democrats take back the senate. >> dana: stephanie, thank you for being with us. we will be in touch with you. these days close to the election, thank you so much stephanie cutter for joining us. i will see you on "the five" i am dana perino and here is bill hemmer. >> bill: tooling rallies, that is what we've got. i'm bill hemmer, good afternoon. ♪ president trump former vp joe biden with tooling rallies and critical battleground florida hitting the trail for sunshine state with only five days until election day. at the moment, more than 73 million casted ballots, 7 million in florida alone. later today, president trump will be in north carolina and biden travels to tampa where the president is still speaking now. vp pence will hit the valley and iowa and center kamala harris virtually campaigns later. stocks are up after record gdp report shows the u.s. economy recover some of the ground lost
12:01 pm
earlier in the pandemic. more on those numbers with maria bartiromo on that and peter doocy with a biden team and john roberts traveling with the president as we go back to the rally in tampa, florida, now. >> president trump: he is unfit. he has no plan to end the epidemic. it is all talk and election like his head in the debate. 91% to 9%. you know what that means? 91% a respective poll 91% said -- i have to brag because you know why? they will never do it, you know? you know the expression, if you can't get anybody else to do it, do it yourself. 91% to 9% and i am trying to figure out who is the 9%. i want to find these people. no, it was just ridiculous, ridiculous. i think they could have done better but you never know, again, this is why. you never know. his policies would create a depression.
12:02 pm
and he wants you to surrender our country. that is what he wants to do. he wants to surrender our country to china and all of these other countries that have taken total advantage of us. it is really the reason i'm here. if it weren't for the wearable trade deals with south korea or our allies. our allies in many ways treat us worse than the enemy. the enemy at least we have our guard up. our allies what they have done to us in terms of military protection is disgraceful. when they come out of this, they say they like barack hussein obama more than trump. that means i'm doing my job. you see. germany said it the other day. and i have roots in germany, but germany said it the other day, they like barack hussein obama. and they should because germany is delinquent in their payments. very delinquent. they are at a half level. they are very rich and can do what they want. it's not like they don't have the money. i called them out and i say if
12:03 pm
you don't pay, we will take our troops. these people go crazy, they go crazy. you watch. we have already started to do it. they will pay. but i just want to play you a video -- i was so impressed. it is a little bit -- you know we only do this for people we love. we have these very expensive boards that come along. this is a largely -- a woman that comes from this area. her husband happens to be a majomajor league baseball playe. do you know who i'm talking about? he is a handsome guy but she is far more beautiful. and he's on tampa bay so he's right now a little depressed. i don't know if he is here or not but i want to talk to him and say "you did a great job." kaylee, please come up here, kaylee, and play the video, play the video. >> dana: joe biden. >> bill: we will pop out of the ground here. that has been our ammo during
12:04 pm
the rallies. interesting to know that joe biden was also in florida today. and he just wrapped his rally. we noticed that the other cable news network did not take biden rally. we did here and we will continue to follow the president's rally as well. when the video concludes, we will get you back in there of tampa. hotbed of political campaigning in florida right now. john roberts leading the hour in tampa where i understand, john, it is to me today. good afternoon. >> 80 degrees today which is not too bad in arizona. that is considered cool. but this is florida 88 degrees which means it is very hot. there are a number of people in the crowd who had to seek medical attention. they started coming at 9:30 this morning. so i have to hand it to melania trump for the last hour and 5 minutes has been quietly sitting on the side of the stage and the full sunshine and does not seem to be suffering any of the effects of it. the president today really making a lot of the numbers of
12:05 pm
the gdp today come up 33.1% and the third quarter of this year. the president has for months now promising the coronavirus lockdown begins to lift that the united states would be in for a sharp v-shaped recovery and the third quarter would be big. the fourth quarter even bigger. he appears to be right at this point about the third quarter, 33.1% growth. the president also mentioning that the jobless numbers that came out today were seven-month low. about 751,000, which is less than nearly 781,000 expected. so the president suggesting that the united states is on the right trajectory. joe biden though had every opportunity to say the president is going in the wrong direction when it comes to the coronavirus pier that he is damaging the economy. the economy that barack obama and joe biden left him with and really threw it in the tank. the president insisted as he began to come out of the lockdowns, things will begin to
12:06 pm
get better. we should point out in hillsborough county which is where we are, 30% of the population, not quite, but close to 30% of the population is hispanic. yesterday, president trump came out with his american dream plan, which is going to provide to allow has manically owned businesses to flourish, create jobs in the hispanic community, school choice for hispanics as well as increasing homeownership. he also is promising a final resolution to the docket issue. so clearly, that is something that is not going to happen until second term if the president were two win one. what he's talking about in arizona and in florida in hopes of bringing more hispanic voters to his side. >> bill: john thank you for that, peter doocy and coconut creek. john is in tampa and peter and the southeast corner with democratic motors. we saw the former vice president today and how many at his rally?
12:07 pm
the team said 10,000 to 15,000. >> 201 cars full of people and some might have been one or two people or might have been full, but biden as these folks it in their cars in the air conditioning and listen to him, he completely stuck to the script. still got a lot of people honking at him but stuck to the script. he has still not gone into details about the latest allegations by hunter biden's former business partner tony bobulinksi may be members of the biden trying to cash in on the biden a more vp office. maybe joe biden knew about it. this person alleges but joe biden is complementing his son at the center of all of these accusations, hunter biden. and he met with oprah last night, hunter is the smartest guy i know. up in delaware yesterday at the democratic nominee, biden photo without much fanfare and aunt between events that did not take him far from home. the next few days the democratic
12:08 pm
ticket will try to expand the electoral map. in addition to today's trip to florida, iowa, michigan, and biden did not rule out a stop in texas when asked by reporters how he thinks it's going to go there and whether or not you will make a trip here that is consistent with what he told a lawyer had a virtual fund-raiser yesterday "you are bringing texas into rachel buddy. it is amazing, you told me but it would not have believed it. biden going into detail to explain why is it when he leaves the house, sometimes he wears two masks at once." >> why do you wear two masks? because one mask is the n95 mask and i don't like it around my ears. >> and the biden team signaling where they think they need to shore up support, announcing a trip just a little while ago for
12:09 pm
tomorrow to minnesota, bill. >> bill: thank you for that and we will bring in maria a brand-new book out called -- welcome back to the show, good afternoon to you. i just want to reflect on what the 33% number means, do you believe in this campaign? because clearly the economy and politics are at an intersection here. >> absolutely, bill, i think this number is the last quantitative piece of data before the election. and it shows we are getting back three quarters of the vote we lost early in the pandemic. we had a number of 33.1% growth on an annualized basis, 7.5% quarter after quarter. better than expected number and shows the economy is recovering. i spoke with larry kudlow from the white house and noticed a couple of things in the report that is worth noting. that is, we had 1200% increase
12:10 pm
in automotive production. we also had a 40% increase in consumer spending and 70% increase in business equipment spending. these are all important to show businesses spending, and slowly but surely getting on track. we are expecting growth in the fourth quarter. not this kind of number but certainly 2021 should continue to go this v-shaped recovery and again, going back appearance but when i have to go back to this really but the new book, from "the wall street journal." here is my question, in a biden presidency, how is the relationship between the u.s. and china change? >> i think it is going to be tougher with donald trump in charge given the fact that this president was the first president to push back and create consequences for china's bad behavior like electoral property theft and technology. we know that joe biden has relationship and china and certainly what we learn from
12:11 pm
hunter biden and all the emails and business dealings does not bode well for what china may have on joe biden in terms have been compromised. that is an issue people understand that. that is something that one of the reasons people understand that it will be a different relationship with joe biden and china. now biden says he will be tough on china and that is what he continues to say, but donald trump is actually put the consequences in place. the behavior is very bad. the chinese communist party has been very clear about returning china to the number one superpower of the world. they are not doing it through innovation. they are doing it through theft. they continue to steal electoral property from america. they won't admit it. they did the trade deal and still haven't kept up with the purchases they did promise. another broken promise from there. i think it will be a different relationship between china and the u.s., depending on who leads the country. >> bill: something to dissect and time, nice to see a maria and good luck with the book. we will see you tomorrow morning.
12:12 pm
thanks, maria. the 80 million americans have now cast their ballots in this election. 80 million. we have 57,000,004 years ago and we have blown by that number. back to tampa right now now where the president has resumed at the end of the video and we will go back there. >> president trump: florida house speaker chris burrell. [cheers and applause] so young. florida g.o.p. joe, joe, where are you? [applause] where is joe? joe, how are we doing, joe? we will be out of here so fast if we don't win this election. he will be gone. we are doing well. we are going to win. we are going to win. our country will have trouble. and vote for the congressman. and vote for the republicans. they want to do what is right. they want to do what is right.
12:13 pm
you know it is the right thing to do. we have congressional candidate scott franklin and adam paolino luna. [cheers and applause] right? i put something else. they have my full endorsement. great going. i hear you are both doing well. win, please. both are doing very well, great, great. under my administration we are reversing the damage that joe biden and his group over a 47 year period. we are bringing the pharmaceutical industry back here and back to regions of puerto rico. they took it out of puerto rico, devastating puerto rico. joe biden voted to eliminate those jobs and to send them to china. we are reversing that and we have been reversing it for two years. it is moving very rapidly. last month my unannounced $13 billion in disaster relief of puerto rico. they got hit hard. they were in a little path that causes problems, you know that,
12:14 pm
right? a lot of hurricane problems. speaking of hurricanes who have a lot of hurricane problems too. ron, am i always there? ron calls up, sir, i would like to speak to you. how many billions do you need, ron. but i'm always there. and rick, i will tell you what my rick scott has been great. he's been great. and marco rubio has been great. he's been great, marco. a very strong guy, strong leaders, good guys too. really good guys, marco and rick. you have great people here. great leadership and under my leadership we achieve the most secure border in united states history. and we have now built over 400 miles of wall. [cheers and applause] and we will have it finished very shortly. it will be finished soon. you don't hear about anymore.
12:15 pm
i didn't think i would be able to pull it off and it was a tough one. they were willing to close up the country over the wall. i had a party, a strong poly filmic party. they had strong policy but they didn't want the wall. but i made a terrible mistake. i should have said instead of we will build the welcome i should have said "we will not build the wall." they would have give me all the money. they said we demand that you build it immediately. but then they said walls don't work. and i set up my walls work and wheels work. those are the two things that work. everything else gets obsolete. biden wants to have a travel ban for refugees from the most dangerous places in the world and he will open the floodgates to radical islamic terrorism. and you saw what happened three days ago, the beheading in
12:16 pm
france. and today, it happened again. and we give our warmest regard to the president a friend of mine, the friend of the first lady. two great people. the first lady of france is a great woman. under the biden plan, the horrifying attacks in france will come to our cities and our towns. and i don't want to speak too loudly about this. knock on wood, this is real wood, you know? [laughter] this is real wood. anything to do with the president and the white house, real wood. somewhere. let me knock. [laughter] but you know what it's come a look at what has happened a long time, right? i don't want to say it but a long time. and you know the first call i get after i win, the first call i will get will be from iran. they will want to make a deal because that country has been devastated. they have been unable to give money to terrorist organizations
12:17 pm
that they have given routinely for years. they were gdp is down 27% this year which is the highest anybody has ever seen in any country, one year. think of it, we are up 33.1 and they are down 27. and they will want to make a deal and we want to make a deal if we can't. we want them to be a great country but they cannot have a nuclear weapon. they cannot have a nuclear weapon. [cheers and applause] and we will help them. we will help them. we will go with them and help them and do whatever we have to do. i hope that happens, but i believe that -- and i even said don't deal with them. they will want to see what happens with sleepy joe because if he won, china will own us. iran will make another crazy deal where they give them $150 billion in cash. we have so many things, what we have done, the deals that we have made, it is very scary to see. they say there has to be something wrong. because nobody can be that stupid. nobody can be that stupid.
12:18 pm
under my leadership, we are keeping the terrorists, extremists and violent criminals the hell out of our country. and that is okay with you. some of you might object. and you might have a nice liberal point of view but that's okay, we will keep them the hell out. we invested $2.5 trillion in the u.s. military, including 11.2 million. think of this, $11.2 million right here at macdill air force base. has anybody heard of macdill air force base? anybody in the audience, mr. congressman? you are the one that got it included. and we also passed veterans choice and veterans accountability. they all said it was impossible. [cheers and applause] they said it was impossible. and we took 100% of the isis
12:19 pm
caliphate and destroyed it. and we killed the leader of isis, al baghdadi who they were looking for for 17 years. [cheers and applause] al-baghdadi is dead. and then we took out the world's number one terrorists by far a peer of in 50 years because him solomon he is dead. period he killed many of the soldiers and killed many some of the most feared men in the middle east. he is gone, and i withdrew from the last administration, iran nuclear deal. i recognize the capital of israel and opened the embassy and jerusalem. [cheers and applause] i got the building built for a tiny fraction. you know that story, a tiny fraction. i called up the great ambassador and i said to said, david, let's see if we can get it open.
12:20 pm
they wanted to spend $2 billion to build an embassy. and it would have never happened and i said david go around. we have any land we own with the government we known everything even in other countries. see what we have because we are back the following day, sir, we own a piece much better piece than we were going to buy. i didn't buy it because i didn't like it's from i didn't like the location. doesn't make sense? i didn't like the location. location is very important. i see, see what we have. sir, we have a piece much bigger and a book much better location and as a building. remember we would spend $1 billion to $2 billion. i said what is the building? the building is basically unoccupied and it's pretty big. we can fix it up. he said, how much? he gets back to me two days later, sir, i think we can do it for $390,000. right? [cheers and applause] right? you understand that, mr. congressman? so i said "it is the first time i've ever done this. david, that doesn't sound good.
12:21 pm
that sounds too cheap. makmake a $500,000." we did it for $500,000. it is jerusalem and a friend of mine ron, every time i walk in, he shows me jerusalem and i go crazy. ron, i don't care. i said "david, you are interested in. it is very expensive in new york and you get jerusalem stone." yes, we can buy it for nothing. he said "good, make the building out of jerusalem stone." we made it out of jerusalem stone and we had to open later for $500,000. that means -- you know what, not only would it cost more than $2 billion, you would not have that building built for 25 years. so we got -- we did something a little different. we got something done for a tiny, tiny fraction of what it was supposed to cost. we had it open three and a half to four months. it is now our embassy. a great embassy. it is recognized, jerusalem is the capital of israel.
12:22 pm
sort of a great story. and i also recognize israeli sovereignty over the golan heights. they have been working on that for 52 years. we got it done in two hours. it's not easy. and every president wanted to do those two things for many, many decades, but they couldn't. i understand what they couldn't. a lot of pressure, a lot of pressure. and instead of never ending wars in the middle east, we are forging he steals all over the place. no blood in the sand. no blood in the sand, no cost. biden and obama made a pathetic one sided deal the castro dictatorship. my opponent stands for socialist or communist. i stand with a proud people of cuba and nicaragua and venezuela and their righteous struggle for freedom and we are winning. we are winning it. it will be easy. we are winning it. the last administration also negotiated the terrible
12:23 pm
obama/biden/santos deal which colombian drug cartels surrendering to the narco terrorists. and the first lady sits on the chair and she chairs drugs on america and how to get rid of it. the blue ribbon commission, right? and we are down 19%. we had a little setback with the recent problem with the china virus, but it's getting back under control. but she has taken it down 19. she and the commissioner are taking it down 19%. and she does not want it mentioned. she doesn't want to talk about it. she doesn't want to talk about it. and if it were me sitting in her position, i would be holding the cameras, "i have done an incredible job." i'm only kidding, i'm only kidding. but she has done an incredible job, thank you, honey. [cheers and applause] under my -- thank you, thank you
12:24 pm
very much. under my administration, we worked with colombian officials to seize or disrupt 227 tons of poisonous narcotics since april alone. there the fact is, i've done more than 47 months thence would be joe biden has done in 47 years. it is true. it is true. [cheers and applause] no administration in the first three and a half years has done what this administration has done. we have rebuilt our military. we have done the biggest tax cut initiative, the biggest regulation cuts this year. what we have done is incredible and even environmentally come i tell you what. we will not go for a list because we will be here all day. no administration. the fake news doesn't even call me on it. usually if you make a statement, it is 1% off and a headline the next day. the coming weeks we will distribute a vaccine to be the
12:25 pm
virus and complete the great american comeback. we are in the process. [cheers and applause] a vote for republicans like these people right down here is a vote for the great american dream. that is what it is. and remember, abraham lincoln, the great, the legendary abraham lincoln was a republican. would you please remember that? nobody knows that. they know it now because i like to say it. over the next four years, we will make america into the manufacturing superpower of the world. and we will end our reliance on china once and for all. it has already started. [cheers and applause] we will hire more police and increase penalties for law enforcement. and we will ban ted lee sanctuary cities. [cheers and applause] we will defend religious liberties, free-speech, and the right to keep and bear arms. your second amendment amendment will be defended.
12:26 pm
[cheers and applause] we will maintain america's rifle and we will ensure peace through strength. [cheers and applause] and i told you we spent two and a half trillion dollars -- $2.5 trillion on our military. we have the finest rockets, the finest missiles and we have the finest tanks and submarines and ships, all made and the usa. and our nuclear stockpile, we are in a position like no other country in the world. we are the envy of every country, russia, china, north korea. no country in the world is what we have. and a lot of religious people in this audience. pray to god that we never have to use it. and it is more likely that we won't have to use it now that we have it. but just hope that we never have to use it. we will end surprise medical
12:27 pm
billing, require price transparency, lower drug prices even more, and we will always protect patients with pre-existing conditions.

[cheers and applause] and we will make america great again. thank you, get out and vote. thank you. ♪ >> bill: so for the last hour and a half, watching the president in tampa, florida. we dipped out for a while to see joe biden on the other side of the stage. so both are really going after the 2019 -- 290 electoral votes.
12:31 pm
and the presentation in tampa that the second rally of the day in fayetteville, north carolina, has been canceled. the contrails of the hurricane, now that it is storm stated to the winds kicking up to 50 milen hour. that event will not happen. we are told it will be rescheduled for monday. in the meantime, joe biden will be in tampa a little bit later today. so they are crisscrossing the state's as we move forward now. florida is very critical and so too iowa, that reese is tight, super tight. joe biden is up about 1.5 points and if you put real clear politics pulling average together. and gary kinney garrett kenny, into one, that afternoon. >> good afternoon to you a you 80 degrees in florida to around 32 degrees here in des moines. the vice president mike pence arriving for a rally with senator joni ernst. this really is the latest
12:32 pm
indication that no one is taking the state for granted. that is despite president trump winning iowa in 20 16x9 points. as you mention in the latest real clear politics, he is trailing joe biden by a single point. this is not only about the white house though. iowa senate race could decide which party joins the senate. and locked in one of the tightest and most expensive senate races on the country. but the top of the ticket is still the driving force behind this election. local political analyst expect that the presidential race will likely decide who wins the senate seat as well. >> bill: it is close places like iowa where it makes a difference. joni ernst is running a few points behind. and if the polls right now are at least closed to correct, she is in trouble.
12:33 pm
so she needs the president not only to convince enough people, but to pull far enough ahead so she pulls him into the lead. >> senator joni ernst at the rally but the vice president and tomorrow her opponent tresa greenfield is expected to be at an event in des moines with joe biden. it will be his first visit to the state since he came in fourth in the iowa caucuses back in january, bill. >> bill: thank you, garrett nice to see in iowa, and how is that match shaping up five days out? and what we are seeing as of today, we talked about the president being in tampa. we talked about joe biden in florida as well. here is the map going back to 2016. or is how it all came down and in florida the president won the state by 100,000 votes. down here, you pick up a lot of democratic votes and that is the reason joe biden is down in broward county, which is where hillary clinton 12-14 years ago. pop out here in the president is
12:34 pm
in tampa right along the gulf. joe biden will be there later. this also was a blue county from 2016. the president losing by seven points to hillary clinton, but this also includes pinellas county where a lot of boats too in florida. a close race from four years ago. and i mentioned the rally in north carolina will not happen today. a makeup rally on monday, but really both campaigns seem to be scheduling events with about 24 hours advance notice and the final closing days. in fact, tomorrow the president will hit michigan in the afternoon. then he will hit wisconsin. then he will go to minnesota. for joe biden's party, michigan with the former president barack obama. so we are really getting into crunch time. pop on over here now both president and vp biden with economic pitches on the trail today. this after record-setting gdp report that show the u.s. making up a lot of ground loss during the pandemic. however, not all of it.
12:35 pm
bret baier, my colleague from "special report" good afternoon to you. and it sounded like a closing argument. what did it sound like to you? >> 100%. he stuck to the prompter and did the dismount as he has done before. he was very familiar 2016. i thought that speech was peppered with things that have worked in florida for the president. that is talking about the fight against socialism, the fight against freedom in venezuela and cuba. those are touchstone issues in florida. talking about the economy and 34% increase in the gdp. those are bread-and-butter things. florida is really, really tight, as you just mentioned. north carolina, he is going to be there. that is another one. arizona. and the fact that joe biden is going to minnesota, i think is very interesting. that is not a state the democrats have worried about a lot. the president and joe biden both
12:36 pm
going to minnesota. >> bill: very interesting, jason, ca jason come florida, we know a thing or two about florida and we will relive that. but i want to get to a story about twitter today. they have apparently picked up on mark morgan pin twitter's account u.s. custom orders commissioner suspended him after he sent out a tweet about the wall and security. now come i don't know what your sense of that is, but where does it end? >> listen, i believe this could actually move some votes in the closing days. i think that the sensor sa censorship issue is something independents have a problem wit. and if they really fear that that is a big issue that they are not getting, you know, that somebody is getting shut down as innocuous as about talking about the border wall. and so you have that issue.
12:37 pm
then you have the biden story issue. you have glenn greenwald resigning from the intercept because he said that they wouldn't cover anything negative about joe biden. i do think that the story overall does resonate with people who have a problem with the censorship in general. >> i think as we found out with the biden story with a u.s. new you draw a lot of attention. and you would have thought that would have snowballed but it didn't appear the brakes were put on on that story. you can ask questions about it and have problems with the story, but it's not a story. >> bill: speaking about, "the wall street journal" put the headline biden, tony bobulinksi owes the public a response about the family's business. let's let this marinate for a moment, bret baier. the first lane from the piece joe biden is asking to elect on strength and character, honesty and judgment, which is why
12:38 pm
mr. biden owes a response of new allegations about his son, hunter's business deals. think about that. does this matter in the end? the reason i ask you is because many republicans are arguing "forget about hunter biden. stay to the economy." >> well, i do think senator ted cruz is probably right. does it move a ton of votes? no. doesn't move any votes? i don't even know. but it is something that is a story, and the guy says he met with joe biden twice. they talked about business dealings. joe biden has had on the trail that he never talked about hunter's business dealings. did he meet with them or not? i think, you know, the shutdown of the story has created more interest. >> bill: nice to see you. we will see at 6:00, bret baier "special report" breaking news from europe. the french president earlier
