tv Bill Hemmer Reports FOX News October 31, 2020 2:00pm-3:00pm PDT
2:00 pm
bill: president trump and joe biden to take on the stage. biden and michigan, the place to be and watch today on special edition of bill hemmer reports. a spin across battleground states and let you know what we are seeing as of today. we have fox team coverage on both events, bryan llenas is watching the president and peter doocy is following joe biden in detroit. gentlemen, good afternoon both of you. it's 3 days and counting and
2:01 pm
bryan, as you await there, set the scene for us in pennsylvania? reporter: bill, good evening, yeah. both campaigns are treating pennsylvania as a must-win. the prevailing thought is keystone state 20 electoral votes could very well decide the election. don't take my word for it, take a look at the candidates' travel schedule. look at president trump travel schedule in pennsylvania. by this coming monday the president would have made 8 campaign stops in pennsylvania this week alone. today he's making 4 stops in the common wealth ending the day here in butler and then in montorsville, final pennsylvania stop monday in scranton, biden's hometown. the key is turnout, turnout, the president really needs to really bring up the score, the margins in those red counties, more voters have to come out for him because they expect biden to
2:02 pm
have gained in and around philadelphia and pittsburgh particularly in the suburbs and when you speak to the republicans in the state, bill, they do say that there are votes to be had by the republicans. they point out since 2016 over 205,000 registered democrats in pennsylvania have switched to the republican party. 7 counties, mostly in the western part of the state have gone from majority democrat to majority republican registered voters, the president today continues to hit biden hard on the energy industry particularly important in western pennsylvania, he has been playing the campaign-style videos at the rallies showing both screens and added versions of biden in his own words painting him as antifracking and antioil industry. here is the president earlier today in utah. >> for 47 years, he supported every disastrous trade deal that
2:03 pm
enriched cronieses an impoverished your state. reporter: the president said earlier this month, if we win pennsylvania, we will win the whole thing. the real clear politics has the race here biden up by a little less than 4 points in pennsylvania, but that is tighter than it was just a few weeks ago. bill. bill: chilly day, bryan, hang out for later in the hour, bryan llenas. what bryan was breaking down 2016. butler, pennsylvania, that's where bryan is. start popping around pennsylvania, you see where the margins are 66% county, 76 over
2:04 pm
here. it's not the number of votes that you would find in a pittsburgh or philadelphia but nonetheless, as bryan pointed out the trump thinks there's still votes to be mined out here. tour of pa with four stops on saturday. the president started out yesterday and booked over to burkes' county and look at that margin. 73%, can you make it higher than that? the trump team is trying to do that. in the meantime let's pop on over to michigan where former president obama and joe biden speak in a moment. peter doocy is taking in the action. he's live in detroit, michigan gain. hey, peter. peter: and bill, the two of them stopped at a local church to thank volunteers and try to pump up the grassroots efforts which is a big change from a few weeks ago when because of covid-19 lockdowns the campaign only try today reach voters in competitive states online and on the phone. at each stop today, though, joe
2:05 pm
biden has been the headliner, that was never the head when barack obama was at the top of the ticket. he obviously, joe biden is the democratic nominee although he and obama are putting a lot of focus on the current president. >> the president likes to portray that i love this, likes to portray hymn as a tough guy, when you're in high school wouldn't you have like today take a shot. that's a different story, anyway. a macho man. peter: dispute that, barack obama said joe biden doesn't have a mean-spirited bone in his body. 179 cars parked in the lot behind the school in flint for that event which coincided with the hot ticket in town broadcast of the michigan state football game. barack obama focused heavily in his remarks on president trump covid-19 response but also tried to make things personal, he called biden his brother and he admitted democrats got complacent during the last election and even though we really don't hear a ton of obama
2:06 pm
about the news of the day he has apparently been paying attention and trying to use what he's learn today level lines like this at trump. >> he's still worrying about inauguration crowd being smaller than mine. it really bugs him. he talk -- he's still talking about that. does he have nothing better to worry about? did no one come to his birthday party when he was a kid? peter: and if you have a look, we've got a picture of the stage in bell i'll -- bell aisle where obama-biden motorcade is making its way. it's interesting, kind of funny, at first event they were trying to keep people entertained before the headliners showed up so they had big screens on either side of the stage that were showing the michigan state and michigan game but because it was coming from local broadcast
2:07 pm
there were ads on the biden stage for president obama -- president trump and hopeful john james. bill: it happens, right. peter, we will check with you. peter mentioned michigan, grand rapids, you can see the president late on monday night as part of closing argument as we move to tuesday on election day and detroit is right here. the event that president obama was earlier today was the home of flint, michigan, heavy demographic for african-americans, a lot of democratic votes, 55-45 four years ago. hillary clinton picked occupy a hundred thousand votes. wayne county, that's detroit. you see how well hillary clinton did almost 70% to have vote. interesting to know, we talked to debbi dingell a congresswoman in michigan about that, in 2012 barack obama had almost 600,000 votes in wayne county alone
2:08 pm
which is detroit and hillary clinton underperformed that mark just 4 years ago. keep an eye on that as we move forward tuesday and into the results on wednesday perhaps. wisconsin is also getting a lot of attention from both campaigns, final days before the election. president trump and joe biden spending time yesterday and the president plans on making one more stop there before the election. mike tobin picks up coverage, he's live in madison now with more, mike. mike: well, bilker as we have been watching the flurry of campaign stops you notice that wisconsin keeps popping up as locater and graphics, both campaigns look at badger state as can win and must-win, president trump will be in ken kenosha. he keeps bringing america free trade agreement. >> at every turn biden betrayed american workers and twisted his knife into the back of wisconsin workers. you suffered as much as anybody.
2:09 pm
mike: trump squeaked out a win by less than 1% in 2016 after clinton campaign famously ignored wisconsin. democrats are not repeating the same mistake. >> i came up here campaigning for hillary and for a whole lot of reasons not all was her fault ended up not taking it seriously. we thought it was differently. i've been here a lot and by the way when i get elected, if i get elected i'm coming back. [laughter] [applause] >> look, in the final days, we have to keep our sense of empowerment and sense of optimism. mike: republican volunteers in wisconsin have knocked on 2 million doors and with coronavirus concerns democrats placed emphasis on electronic outreach however political activist committees have been
2:10 pm
knocking on doors for democrats. >> we are an essential state and it's odd politically because we are itsy-bitsy state and when you have the possibility of putting a winning coalition, wisconsin jumps out as being important because we are really one of the few states that can flip one direction or the other. mike: now, polls show that joe biden has a lead going into the final days here. it's pretty much the same lead that hillary clinton had in 2016, before trump the last republican to win wisconsin was ronald reagan. bill, back to you. bill: thank you, mike, mike tobin. i will show the map from wisconsin. thank you, mike, check back with you a little bit this later. home of madison, capital folks, young folks live there, 75% for hillary clinton, that's where you two to campaign, over here milwaukee up in green bay, here is the lay of land in milwaukee, wisconsin, 70% of the vote, now you see why, you can see in the final closing days where both
2:11 pm
campaigns are going get the vote. by the way milwaukee, african-american population, about a third there. so as target based on some of the reporting out of florida earlier this week that african-american turnout has been soft, point of photohere -- note here, polls open sunday and it will be focus on african-american churches starting sunday as well. popping up to green bay, brown county here. the president did pretty well picking up 67,000 votes over hillary clinton. and as you watch here, just as you see the red and the blue on the map, you can see over time what happens here. this is 8 years ago in 2012, you see that fill in for barack obama in south, west and the north. look what happened in 2016, so many of those blue counties, again, i will show it to you, dissolve into red and that's what the trump team is banking on again this year and we will see if that's the case. more on the strategy right now i
2:12 pm
want to move further west to the state of minnesota and the former acting director of intelligence rick ranell with me, good afternoon, thank you for your time. you're in minnesota, you've been on the trail, give us your sense of the race as of now? >> well, first of all, we have to say that every time you or anybody quotes polls, we have to remember that the polls have been historically wrong. i actually don't think that we have behind. i've been all over minnesota, wisconsin, michigan, pennsylvania nonstop and i have to say that we are -- we are doing great. i feel the energy is behind president trump. we have a lot of democrats that have come out for president trump. when you look at the coalition that's come together for president trump, it's working class, it's more blacks, more hispanics, more gays, more working class than ever before. i think that donald trump is -- is set to win this bigger than
2:13 pm
he won in 2016 just because of the coalition and the excitement and this is coming from somebody who is on the ground constantly talking to voters who say i didn't vote for him in 2016 and i sure am now. bill: that sounds like a prediction, rick. rick: well, look, it's a better prediction than any of your pollsters that are giving 600, 700,000 people a phone call. i'm actually shaking hands and talking to people, so, you know, there's ways in washington, d.c. the political keep quoting polls and it's giving people a false impression and people are angry at the media right now and they are angry that they only getting one side of the information and that they're being told about all of these polls where the president is down. people are angry and i think it's back-firing and all those in washington, d.c. and in new york city who run media companies, they don't get it. they don't have the feel for what americans are doing and i
2:14 pm
would -- i would say, you know, that's a long answer to your question to say, yeah, i think i have a better feel for what americans are going through certainly in the midwest than people in washington, d.c. who haven't been out on the campaign trail. bill: you mentioned a lot of battleground states an we will show through the map, they really are the focus of the campaign as you well know. as you travel, what is your sense of covid and how that's playing in the campaign in the president has taken a lot of hit for having the rallies, what do you think about that? >> i don't think the president is taking a lot of hits on the rallies. i see massive support for the president. i see massive numbers of people who are really angry that america is trying to shut down. we were told that, you know, the united states is doing worse than europe but tomorrow we are going see a whole bunch of european countries shut down their economies. i actually think that we as americans have to recognize that we to everything possible, we wear masks when we can, we don't go around the vulnerable, we do
2:15 pm
everything we can except shutting down the economy. people don't want this economy shut down. they are angry about it and the more joe biden and kamala harris talk about the national mask-mandate that they want to do in january, the end of january 2021, that's not based on science. how can you predict that in 3 months you're going to have a national mask mandate? they have no idea what the future holds but that's their policy. they're also talking about greater shutdowns. they want more social distancing at restaurants which means whole wings of restaurants or businesses are going to have to get shut down. i think that when you compare a lockdown and a shutdown which is what biden is calling for versus donald trump saying wear a mask around vulnerable people, but we have to get back to work. now i'm seeing reports where the left is saying we should have opened up the schools, the elementary school level. look, this is a disaster for the
2:16 pm
left. this is not the traditional democratic party. they're defunding the police, they're shutting down our schools, they are shutting down our economy and i see a lot of democrats in the midwest say i can't take this anymore, i am going to vote for donald trump. bill: ric grenell, thank you. this is how minnesota came out 4 years ago. hillary clinton narrow win, a lot of people forget about this, just 44,000 votes in 2016. i mentioned michigan a moment ago and jump back here because this was the state that was decided by 11,000 votes. trump beating hillary clinton in wolverine state. debbi dingell, you came on the air with me in 2016 and said, i think trump can win this thing. what do you think now?
2:17 pm
congresswoman: hi, bill, good to see you, we will keep going. it's going to be go blue day on tuesday. i don't believe the polls. the only poll that matters is the poll on election day. people have to go vote and this is coming down to voter turnout, voter turnout. i think a lot of people didn't believe that donald trump could win, a lot of people in michigan, 90,000 people left top of the ticket blank last time and you don't feel that. but i do feel in certain parts of the states with certain demographicking -- demographicking it is tightening. the reason president obama and joe biden is you have to get people out and you can't take them for granted and women are turning out in massive numbers much more so than they did 4 years ago. bill: some of the anecdotal evidence especially in florida,
2:18 pm
how much concern do you have about hispanic votes going for trump and african-american support being soft? congresswoman: look, i don't take anything for granted. i'm not one of the cheerleaders that says this is a done election. it's not going to be done. every person that hasn't voted that care strongly need to go out and vote. i think momentum is with joe biden right now. i agree that covid is an issue that people are going to vote on but i do think that it turned people's world upside down. today in michigan we had the highest number yet. it's surging in state as cross the country and people are scared. they're scared about their jobs, they're scared about what's going to happen to it. if the president had chosen to wear a mask in many places, because people listen to him, because people follow him, he would have reduced the number of people and would have reduced the deaths. if he comes to michigan -- you
2:19 pm
have to go? bill: it's okay. i have a minute left. the point you're driving out there and we will see on wednesday what the state of covid is on -- on behalf of both men. final point here, though, what we hear from republicans consistently is they go to battleground states and they see no ground game for joe biden. thousand do you -- how do you feel about that? >> there's been ground game and millions of calls. we have to figure out how we will measure that at some point. i can tell you i've had a ground game, 49,000 people that have returned ab ballots that did not vote in 2016. we are doing doors and targeted state legislative seats, have been doing doors since july. the biden campaign has now started doing canvass, we do have a ground game and we will deliver on tuesday. bill: do you want to give us a prediction 3 days out congresswoman? >> can i give you a prediction
2:20 pm
on monday? i do think joe biden is likely to win but it's higher than what people think right now. bill: thank you for your time. maybe we will talk on monday. debbi dingell, thank you, back home detroit, michigan. we talk about the upper midwest and that's where the contest is being waged now, pennsylvania and michigan, wisconsin and minnesota. a little bit later this hour we will move to southeast and tell you what's on the line. minutes away dueling campaigns, trump and biden supporters coming out in force and we will take you live when our coverage continues on this election special saturday. ♪ ♪
2:24 pm
bill: welcome back, everyone, special edition of bill hemmer report. mark meredith in raleigh with a look at how the final day of early voting is going in the tar hill state. mark: final day of early voting. it is wrapped up and we are still waiting to get an idea of what the turnout was like statewide but the numbers, bill, they have been incredible on the ground in north carolina. the latest update from the state showing already some 900,000 absentee ballots sent back in and some 3.4 million people also
2:25 pm
taking advantage of that early voting. the real clear politics average in north carolina does show joe biden leading but by a slight margin, less than 2 per kennage points and we have seen the lead shrink in the last couple of days as voting wraps up and we are seeing last-minute surge of surrogates, high-profile republican vice president mike pence. >> right after you elect president trump for for 4 years we need to send thom tillis for the united states senate for 6 more years. mark: democrats tell us they do feel confidence not only in senate race that the vice president was talking about but also with the governor's race and the presidential contest. one democrat, though, we spoke with says they do have plan to get final push out there before election day. >> i think they know that this state is going to be close. we don't do landslides in north
2:26 pm
carolina, we do squeakers. senator harris was here the other day and joining us again on sunday. >> president trump will also be in north carolina on sunday, he's going to be holding an event in hickory and then, bill, he will be back here on monday for rally in fayetteville, it really does give us an idea how important the 15 electoral votes north carolina has is for the president and his campaign. bill. bill: could be make or break, thank you, mark, nice to see you mark meredith on the map behind me. that's wade county, charlotte, this was the advanced vote in 2016, super impressive, registered voters 44% vote early. that's more than 3 million. look where it is already in 2020. i'm blown by the numbers, 60% of registered voters have cast the
2:27 pm
ballot in north carolina. former hillary clinton senior adviser philip and bureau chief julie and pennsylvania talk radio show host rj harris. philip, you get the start, tell us perhaps maybe not the state of play but what do you think this race breaks on come tuesday? >> i think it comes down to something that you just referenced now and last segment when you were talking about all the demographics that are coming out. anecdotally it's hard to say that the turnout is better for one than the other. i think that's a place where confirmation bias kicks in from what i'm reading and seeing turnout -- higher turnout in florida benefits president trump. but i think what there's a good chance of is trump voters just don't vote at all, that there's this fear of people who have for
2:28 pm
lack of a better term trump fatigue but they can't bring themselves to vote for joe biden and that's partly why i think you're seeing that so many trump voters are saying they are waiting until tuesday. i think that's code for some of them for not going to vote at all, and, you know, it's not just what we are seeing in the last week or two, it's what we have seen in the last 2 years including the 2018 midterms, that people forget a lot about what that showed us. if everyone is coming out more and more, every demographic and including women, white women with college degree and they've been the people that have been sowerring on president trump the most over the two years, that does not bode well for his reelection chances. bill: okay. rj, what do you think of that logic so far, 72 hours? >> i don't buy into it at all. i tell you what i have found here, because of the flap with mail-in ballots in pennsylvania,
2:29 pm
there are a lot of trump supporters that are adamant including myself that i'm voting on election day. i want to make sure that my vote counts. i don't find any trump fatigue. in fact, i have yet to find one person who voted for him last time who is not voting for him again but then a lot more who have come on board since then and many of them democrats. there's no question about that. when you look at the demos after they follow up on trump rallies in pennsylvania and there's been many and they stand in line for hours, so they're coming out on tuesday, but when you look at what's going on in pennsylvania, i believe we have reason to believe the enthusiasm gap is going to push the president over the top in a big way here. bill: julie, my sense is the campaigns have an idea of what's breaking out there. i mean, 4.3 million votes in one state. you have an idea where the votes are coming from. what is your sense of the race
2:30 pm
as of today, julie. julie: certainly both campaigns have sophisticated operations where they are tracking the numbers we had seen publicly and also really crucially right now looking to figure out what they need to do still on election day. republicans historically have looked to boost their turnout on election day and -- and break into some of the democratic advantages in some of the early voting. i think the dynamics on the race has come down to two major questions, you know one for president trump is can he win back some of those republicans who had softened on him over the last couple of years? can he break in back in with some of suburban white women who really have abandoned the republican party since 2018? for joe biden is going to be turnout among black voters and latino voters particularly younger voters of color. is there going to be enough enthusiasm to carry him over the finish line. bill: team, i have to get a
2:31 pm
time-out but thanks for all that. stick around, we are not done with you yet and we are also waiting for big events too. president obama is going to be out there in a moment. the former president will be on the stump, vice president joe biden out in detroit. both expected to take the stage in a few moments from now. we will have the dueling campaign events live as they happen. butler, pa on left and detroit, michigan, screen right. come on back. (fisherman vo) how do i register to vote? (working mom vo) i think i'm already registered. ...hmm!...hmm!...hmm! (woman on porch vo) can we vote by mail here? (man on porch vo) lemme check.

2:35 pm
bill: president trump and former vice president joe biden both expected to take the stage any moment and the battlegrounds are stacked, pennsylvania and michigan are getting all of election 2020 that they asked for. scheduled to speak in key swing states trump is in butler pa, north of pittsburgh and bide season in detroit. i want to bring in right now reporters who have been on the road forever, it seems like it. peter doocy with the biden camp
2:36 pm
and bryan llenas with the trump team. gentlemen, i want to take down the curtain a little bit. peter, i will begin with you, what have you seen that the viewers can't see on the campaign, maybe that sticks out in your mind like anecdotal moment that tells you a larger story out there? peter: something interesting just from this week, bill, would be that the biden campaign, we were in georgia which the biden campaign is trying to flip and go on offense in and the biden campaign is so strict with their social distancing that when a handful of uninvited biden supporters showed up, they were turned away by security told it was a private event and then they had to kind of leave and they -- they left and they seemed like they were disappointed. it's the same thing last night, we were in st. paul at the fairgrounds, there was a ton of space but very few -- i want to say it was fewer than 200 people
2:37 pm
were allowed on the entire grounds and that included staff, security and the invited biden supporters. something that is interesting about that then outside these events because there's not a ton of signage and there's really nothing inviting about the events, very few biden supporters at a lot of these events show up to try to even get a look at the former vp or his motorcade. it's difficult sometimes to figure out where they are going to be because they are planning tat last minute or it's just not something that's publicly listed. you don't see a ton of people showing up, sometimes there's nobody outside of these events which has been interesting because as you know in a big city when there's anything going on, people hear about it, they drive by and want to get a picture on their phone to put on snapchat but that's not always the case with these biden events and part of that is the way that the campaign wants it. they just don't want the head
2:38 pm
count real high but it has been really interesting to see. bill: yeah, bryan, what about you as you stand in the cold of butler, pa? reporter: yeah, you know, it's just such a striking contrast to what peter was just talking about. you look at the rallies and people are standing shoulder to shoulder in the cold, about 75% of people here do not have masks. it's what we have seen at all of the rallies. standing in line the use the porta potty and i was talking to a dad with two kids and i was talking to him about why he was supporting the president, look, i supported president obama back to back and i talked to him about the coronavirus which by the way in pennsylvania this week it's seeing record number of cases, 15,000 cases, 166 philadelphians have died of coronavirus this week and he says you know what, i just don't blame the president for the coronavirus. i know that we've lost all of the jobs and things are tough but i just simply don't like it
2:39 pm
when the democrats blame the president for the coronavirus and, you know, it's one of these things that it's interesting, it goes into the mindset as to how different parts of the country really are viewing this virus. and you walk down the streets of beaver, pennsylvania and in butler, you have pretty-packed restaurants and people that are pretty close to each other and it's a contrast. i think one congressman here before the president who spoke about 2 hours ago said that americans deal with this virus, they prefer to deal with it with courage and caution. this idea about shutting down the economy really playing a big role, i think, in a lot of voters' minds out here based on conversations with them. bill. bill: thank you, bryan, thank you, peter, standby, back with philip and julie and rj harris as we await for the events to begin. philip, are you able -- i think the contrast there are obvious to people at home, they see the way that both campaigns have approached this in a much
2:40 pm
different way, what do you think about when you hear those reflections from peter and bryan? i think i have tried to take a sobber and detached look at what's happening not just polls, not just what's happening on the ground, but just sort of the environment and i think we are putting a lot of stock in covid and obviously covid is very important but i keep thinking a year ago, 59% of americans said they would not for donald trump. every democrat that was polled in the primaries was beating donald trump by significant margins, anywhere between 3 and 10% not just joe biden, bernie sanders, kamala harris, paul --e buttigieg, i think we are underestimating, i will use the term fatigue with donald trump and i think he's going to be fired on tuesday not because of something he's doing tomorrow or today or yesterday, but because
2:41 pm
it's the first chance the country has to fire him. i think the totality of the four years, he has something now he didn't have 4 years ago and that's a record and that record is pretty abysmal and it didn't just start in february with covid, it's been going on since he took office and i think -- bill: i think a lot of democrats would frame it that way. rj, i'm curious to know how many republicans could not pull lever for president trump in 2016 and 4 years later they can do that, in fact? >> absolutely. i remember being one of the fish that was swimming upstream early for donald trump and being ridiculed over it and even after he was elected mainstream republicans rejecting him. they're not in the same boat anymore. look, you were talking about a record, look at his record from foreign affairs and what went on in the middle east to replacing
2:42 pm
nafta, everything that donald trump said he was going to do he has done. what's interesting too with enthusiasm, out there in lizirn county where he had the rally, more trump supporters in the rally than there were his. he called congressman and the people outside chumps, so the enthusiasm is there because this president has done what he said he was going to do. it's a false narrative to look at his record to think he hasn't done well and i haven't talked about fracking, for x amount of friday nights in a row impromptu pop-up, trump support rallies happened in williamsburg, pennsylvania, they were not rallies that were organized, people just show up. it's because thousands of fracking jobs are on the line. bill: on that point -- on that point, a lot of that escaped
2:43 pm
media attention too. julia, 30 seconds left, go ahead now. >> well, look, i think there's no question that donald trump's base is incredibly loyal to him and enthusiastic about him. broader question for trump is what is share of the vote on the base, even advisers will acknowledge privately that his base alone will not be enough to get him a second term so he does have to bring more voters back into the fold and voters that have turned on him and appeal the voters that like the policies but maybe not personally. bill: rj standby, julie standby, phillipe. we are waiting on a biden event, we are waiting on trump event, do not move. we will be back after this le mi. - we've both been taking prevagen for a little
2:44 pm
