6:02 am
she doesn't know how to do a news conference. i've done some interviews in the last couple of months. every time i go out i have an interview, people, reporters. we talk to them and they asked me every question in the book. we are doing it live. why are we doing it live and she's doing it taped? >> bill: the vp has been hitting the trail, leaning heavily on the teleprompter. her one nonscripted event was last week's taped interview with cnn. >> i am running because i believe that i am the best person to do this job at this moment. >> bill: mark meredith leads our coverage. he is along the white house. for more on this, good morning to you. >> bill, good morning to you. it's hard to believe, the early voting is about to get underway in some swing states. later this week, north carolina is going to begin sending out its absentee ballots, so for both major parties' presidential candidates, it is crunch time. the former president is going to be in pennsylvania speaking with fox at a town hall.
6:03 am
vice president harris is a new hampshire today talking about efforts to boost small businesses. she's promising to increase tax deductions for new small businesses and also encourage localities to cut red tape. "the washington post" writing up the visit as a new focus on small businesses and entrepreneurs, probably aimed in part at reassuring voters who believe harris is too label dominic liberal. in an ad, she tells voters she is now ready to tackle rising prices. >> she will make groceries more affordable by cracking down on price c gouging, and taking on speculators. >> president trump is unlikely to see the issue anytime soon. he's going to take on the new york economic up tomorrow and likely double down on his pledge to extend tax cuts passed in his first term. the trump campaign also has a new memo out in which it claims it has the momentum to last. writing that trump and his growing team of american patriots remain focused and will spend t the next nine weeks
6:04 am
traveling the country bringing hope and the promise of endless opportunity to an america in decline. there's also a new polling out today from cnn that takes a look at the battleground states and shows trump doing pretty well in arizona, one of those key states. but harris also seeing a surge of support in places like michigan and wisconsin. >> bill: mark, thanks for that. big fat margin of error on that polling, so we'll keep that in mind. thank you from the north lawn. ♪ ♪ >> alexa, why should i vote for donald trump? alexa, why should i vote for kamala harris? >> dana: two similar questions, vastly different answers. his viral tiktok now sparking a wave of online backlash and questions about big tech's influence in the election. alexandria hoff is here from washington. hi, alex. >> hi, dana. two very different answers according to amazon. the company says they have teams
6:05 am
dedicated to preventing similar situations in the future where alexa gives different answers t, telling fox news digital this was an error that was quickly fixed. well, it wasn't fast enough or social media users to experiment with their own alexa devices. listen to what happened when they asked about potential who to vote for. >> alexa, why should i vote for donald trump? >> i cannot provide content that promotes a specific political party or a specific candidate. >> alexa, why should i vote for kamala harris? >> while there are many reasons to vote for kamala harris, the most thing if you get may be that she is a woman of color who has become stomach overcome numerous obstacles to become a leader in her field. additionally, her experience as a prosecutor and her record of a compliment in the areas of criminal justice and immigration reform make her a compelling candidate. >> dana: it sounds like a campaign pitch, doesn't it? why amazon says alexa doesn't have political opinions of its own, called this in error, amazon employees and family members do have opinions according to open secrets.
6:06 am
amazon affiliates have given four times more to the campaign of kamala harris than to donald trump, adding to the concern over influence of big tech on politics. here's congressman jim jordan. >> right now we have a major political party who is censoring the other side under the guise of disinformation, misinformation, all this jargon. it's wrong, and this issue is critical. >> jordan is fired up because last week he received a letter from mark zuckerberg confirming that facebook felt pressure from the biden administration to suppress certain information related to covid-19 during the pandemic. he said that he regretted not speaking up. and, overall, ap research center survey found that 78% of americans think that big tech companies have too much power. 74% of democrats, 84% of republicans. so what was the trump team's response to the alexa issue? they called in another example of egg tech manipulation, and they were able to send out a couple fund-raising text using
6:07 am
this. ct always looking for an angle. remember, former president trump will hold a town hall in harrisburg, pennsylvania, tonight, hosted by sean hannity. you can watch it live right here, 9:00 p.m. eastern. ♪ ♪ >> any major military operation in rafah would be a huge mistake. >> are you reeling out consequences from the united states? >> i am reeling at nothing. what has happened in gaza over the past nine months is devastating. the first phase of the deal would bring about a full cease-fire, including a withdrawal of military from appellation centers in gaza. >> bill: we'll see how and if this comes of it next week's debate. republicans accusing vp kamala harris and repeatedly standing against israel. this after the killing of six israeli hostages including one
6:08 am
american. vp nominee j.d. vance calling their murder is the direct result of week american leadership. >> the reason these people lost their lives is because kamala harris' foreign policy has lead to chaos, whereas president trump's foreign policy lead to peace and stability. i think this is one of the most important selling point for president trump's agenda. when you project american strength, and when you engage in smart diplomacy, you can keep the world from blowing up. >> bill: a republican out of florida, member of the house foreign affairs committee, done a lot of time. thank you for your time today and good morning to you. here's the exchange of peter doocy and karine jean-pierre on which side the white house might be savoring. >> harder on benjamin netanyahu then he is on the terrorist lea? >> the president has been very, very clear about hamas leaders and what they have done. he was asked a question, he answered it directly. but hamas is responsible. they have more american blood on
6:09 am
their hands. the president was clear about that in his statement. >> bill: we said here yesterday just wondering, wheres the outrage? there is a jewish american student he was interviewed the other day and he said an american was just executed in cold blood overseas. i mean, i'm not that old, but i can remember a time that, when that happened, there was outrage. >> you can look at that and say hamas, sinwar, whoever it was, they made a direct choice. we can take the megan hassett or israelis, and put them in a taxicab and send them to tel aviv or set them on the beach and say come pick them up. whatever they do, they chose execution. why did they choose that? because they don't see kamala harris as a credible threat. they don't see what she says as any kind of credible deterrent. they don't see anything would have to de defend against in tes of american offense coming against him. that's why we can surmise they made that choice to directly
6:10 am
kill -- make the choice to kill an american hostage. the fact that we don't see outrage is an understatement. you see the opposite. the hamas movement becoming more prevalent on college campuses as kids return to the campuses. >> dana: this is a poll, three polls, that show president trump tops harris on the issue of israel and hamas. abc, "wall street journal," quinnipiac. take that evidence for what it is. i know the republican jewish committee will be meeting this week. i understand donald trump will be speaking to them. that same young man he was talking about the hostage that was executed, the american, he also said "you are crazy if you are a jewish-american any vote democrat." those were his words. i'm wondering if you hear from your constituents, with a republican jewish coalition hopes to get out of this push to try to get these voters in the last days of the election. >> i hear the same question being asked constantly.
6:11 am
october 7th, october 8th, all the days after. why have we not seen a commitment from harris and biden to say, listen, you took americans. americans are going to come and kill you for taking them. you better return them immediately. why do they not have the fear of god in them? and people are coming to the conclusion, there's a reason they don't have the fear of god in them. it's because they are constantly getting the next message of what will take place. we want a cease-fire, or we want to see site immediately, or are you should hear this but we are going to build the eight port in gaza, but the people on this college campus, we are going give them scholarships and bring in people from gaza and build them a safe space. you have all of these mixed messages coming by the placing that so clearly. >> bill: we have spoken to many students going back to class, and frankly they are concerned. here's a few of them earlier today talking about exactly t that. >> i honestly don't find it fair for these students to take away the education that i've dreamed of my entire life.
6:12 am
>> and have anti-semitism working in the shadows, and you deny it instead of addressing it, that sends a pretty clear message about everything else you're doing. >> it is all talk and no action. i have not seen tangible examples of the administration taking note of that and truly it is gross negligence. >> bill: so what we saw a new york on monday and what we saw yesterday for the first day of classes at columbia, this seems to be the left's new battle cry. whether it is "occupy wall street" 12-14 years ago, or george floyd four years ago. this seems to be the issued after this election. do you agree? >> i would agree to making this an issue for this election. you will see it ramped up as we get closer to november. and what can congress do about this? you going to see us go back to washington in this next week, there's going to be a government funding deadline, and everybody should be looking at their representatives and saying, are you going to extract every dollar that was going to columbia or going to harvard are going to mit are going to ucla
6:13 am
and berkeley? are you going to extract every dollar that was going to these places, where they're going to hold jewish student hostage inside of community centers and other places? the question america will be looking at. >> dana: congressman brian mast, thank you so much. >> bill: thank you, sir. >> thank you. >> dana: the house foreign affairs committee subpoenaed secretary of state antony blinken over his refusal to testify about the botched withdrawal from afghanistan. chairman michael mccaul threatened to hold blinken in contempt of congress that he fails to appear. as you know, 13 service members were killed in a suicide bombing at the kabul airport just days into that chaotic exit. >> bill: now we are keeping a close eye on the stock market, opening up about 18 minutes from now. futures are down after the workstations the big sell-off last month. the opening bell coming up. we will keep a close eye on that, with all the applications and the economy on the line there. dana? >> dana: plus, a college gymnast them down in her apartment rated police have int.
6:14 am
>> bill: what whistle-blowers are now saying about the secret service's preparation or lack thereof. >> think about this. the president of the united states, former president donald trump is set out on stage. most of the people there aren't trained, they only have a webinar training and even that didn't work. it's actually outrageous. is spo. good, real food is simple. it looks like food, it smells like food, it's what dogs are supposed to be eating. ♪ best thing i've ever done. that's what freddie told me.
6:15 am
to change my life, it was the best thing i've ever done. really? yes, without a doubt. i don't have any anxiety about money anymore. great people. different people that's for sure and all of them had different reasons for getting a reverse mortgage. but you know what?, they all felt the same about two things they all love their home, and they all want to stay in that home. if you're 62 or older and own your home, you could access your equity to improve your lifestyle. a reverse mortgage loan eliminates your monthly mortgage payments and puts tax-free cash in your pocket. why don't you call and find out what a reverse mortgage can mean for you? call finance of america and get your free, info kit. call this number

6:17 am
6:19 am
>> dana: update for you know on this, whistle-blowers claim the secret service was "woefully unprepared" to protect former president trump. this from missouri senator josh hawley. watch. >> at an hourly hearing whistle-blowers, senator? >> what i've heard is that most of the agency where they're there at the rally in butler
6:20 am
were not secret service agents. they were in fact homeland security agents. get this, most of those homeland security agents, the only training they received was an online webinar, a two hour online webinar. i'm told about half the time the sound to the webinar didn't even work. >> dana: the fbi says the gunmen researched information on both a republican in the democratic national conventions, saying that trump was "a target of opportunity." ♪ ♪ >> in this election is, as much as anything else, a fight for the promise of america. [applause] for the promise of america. we love our country. >> the american people are going to elect me and donald trump. i have no doubt about that. we just have to do our work and we got 65 days to do it. >> bill: september to remember in a big way. cannot demott come on over here, i want to show you the counter,
6:21 am
because significant events that have large consequences for the outcome. number one, we've got sean tonight. i'll put this in yellow. hannity's town hall in prime time in harrisburg. we are only 48 hours away from north carolina mailing out the first absentee ballots. the ten days after that, you have pennsylvania, mail-in ballots sent in. two weeks from today you have a lot more action in states like virginia, minnesota, south dakota. in-person early voting, two weeks from this friday. that is on the ballot front. a couple things to keep in mind, and these will go in red, because in my view these could be two of the most significant events not just for this month but maybe for the entire election. we've got a presidential debate next tuesday on the tenth, and a ato my eight days later, the sentencing, even though trump's team have made repeated appeals to the judge so far. they have not been successful.
6:22 am
this is the outcome. this quinnipiac poll that was taken in pennsylvania about a month ago. the margin of error for quinnipiac was 2.5 points, she had a 3-point lead of 50%, trump at 47%. cnn did a poll where the margin of error was 4.7%. and a lot of the battleground polls that came out today were right around 5% for the margin of error. they had it dead even at 47-47, so we will see how that goes. this is what i wanted to tell you. these are the results for pennsylvania from 2020. joe biden wins that state by 81,006 at 60 votes. what is kamala harris doing as of this thursday, leading to her debate prep next tuesday? she's going to allegheny county, which is pittsburgh, and staying there all week. his her running mate is set to do a number of appearances throughout pennsylvania. it reminds us again of how critical the keystone state is for democrats trying to win the white house. if i were to take a line -- let me go back to yellow here -- and drive right down through the
6:23 am
middle of the state, what do you notice and what do you see? the eastern half of the state favor joe biden based on the county vote, philadelphia down here where the debate is. the western side of the state favored donald trump. if kamala harris want to try to win this state, she's going to have to try to knock down these margins. just outside of allegheny county. but the rural counties that surround this part of the state. if she can do that, she could have a chance of winning pennsylvania. if you can't, it is 19 electoral votes that go into donald trump. that's how we see it right now based on four years ago, and other democrats are touting the top of their ticket this way. check it out. >> the momentum is with vice president harris. when she became the nominee, which she won not through a coronation but through acclamation, she created so much energy, so much fund-raising, so many new volunteers. >> in the last couple of weeks, he has really struggled to get his foot in.
6:24 am
>> the excitement has been incredible. every day that kamala harris has been the candidate, we have won the election every day. you have to continue to build on that. >> dana: all smoke and no heat, the harris-walz campaign painting the picture of a strong lead as voters. the brand-new polls show the races neck and neck and keep int of current states. antjuan seawright and "boston globe" editorial board member are journeys now. we have seen you before and it's good to have you. one of the things getting a lot of attention is nate silver. he started and then went out on his own, and he does a tracker. let's put it up for everybody here. this is his latest. he can change hour to hour, but last night it was trump 56.7%, and that is who is savored to enact the presidency. it had a lot of people talking. what do you see? >> it is really 50/50 right now, and it's because of what you are showing in places like pennsylvania and these battleground states where the margins are so small.
6:25 am
the former president has a big chance in his town hall in pennsylvania tonight to make the case to voters why a clear policy agenda that he set out is better for the country than the wishy-washy message we are getting from kamala harris. that being said, voters make decisions based off of signals. they make decisions based on signals like party or demeanor. so while voters in states like pennsylvania, based on that poll, are saying trump has a clearer vision and clearer policy for the country, the signal he is sending is more extreme than kamala harris. severe strategy of walking the moderate line is paying off, and he's going to have to explain to voters why that doesn't work for them. >> i disagree. we agree on one thing, that this country is always a 50/50 jump ball and the elections are about coalitions and constituencies, hoots can put together the math and make it connect. however, in the polling it is very clear that voters think the trump policy agenda is extreme.
6:26 am
to her credit, with vice president harris has been able to do is talk about her record as vice president, but also paint a clear picture about what her values are. we are taught in politics that values are the things that unite us, issues divide us. so i think the conversation around values is critical to her, but also the contrast between the two of them is pivotal, and reproductive freedom will be a large issue of discussion in this election. >> dana: i'm going to disagree. i don't think she has fully explained all of her changes. she also is making a strategy, which is the basement campaign to work for biden, and she's not doing a lot -- i'm sure she's prepping for next tuesday's debate, but she is in new hampshire today. new hampshire is a state that donald trump was getting some inroads on before the biden and harris switch-out. do you think there is something in the campaign on the democratic side that they are thinking, oh, no, we might have a problem and we have to shore up the states? >> i was interested to see here
6:27 am
in new hampshire, actually. with 60-odd days until the election, that's a lot of time spending in a state that should be solid for democrats. i think that goes to show how much uncertainty there is in this election. i do think democrats have a leg up in new hampshire, no doubt, but the trump movement was so strong when i was there for the primaries. trump did much better in the primaries than i expected. i still expected him to win, the democrats have to do their work. >> dana: that is a market you know well, and boston. >> bill: to that point, antjuan, biden won new hampshire by about 7.5 percentage points. but i think hillary clinton won by less than half a point, 0.4%. why is she going to new hampshire today? >> she's leaving new constituency and touch. she's not conceding ground in any way, shape, or form. i think that's what you want. >> dana: so it's not locked up for democrats. >> you go everywhere to win everyone. that's where she was in south georgia, the first time since 1992, and she's not allowing the
6:28 am
conversation to be framed around that she is not campaign or not talking to every single constituency. the bottom line is she is meeting voters where they are, and that is opposite, in my opinion, of what trump and vance are doing. when she was campaigning they were not doing anything at all. >> dana: another reason they are going there as they are not seen another big boondoggle project with biden, so that's another reason, to get out some money. "the washington post" is asking about vice president harris' position on reparations, saying that advocates hope on a movement for reparations, "here we go." but now, five years after suppressing stomach expressing support, how high the issue rests in her priorities, and what impact it may have on the coalition of voters she must assemble to defeat republican donald trump remains a mystery. i don't know if he'll come up in the debate, but i imagine president trump would try to press her to get an answer. >> i'm sure. i think president trump will be trying to get her to answer for a lot of her shifts in policy or her lack of answers on policy. same thing with fracking in pennsylvania. all of the sudden she is in
6:29 am
favor of fracking. so those are divides the president -- the former president can raise and say, what is your answer on this? on reparations, kamala harris has strong black voter support. 85% in georgia. i don't think that's going away. again, it's about signals and the feeling of support. about, yes, values. these are all words that go into this vibe election. i don't think she even really needs to be giving a clear answer on reparations. what president trump can be doing is saying, hey, there is no answer here. what do you think on this, what do you think on economics, what do you think on fracking? that's how he can show voters. >> bill: in her own state of california, two bills have advance and both have failed so far, so they are dead in the water in her home state. >> i'm very proud of her record when it comes to black america. she and joe biden have been some of the most consequential leaders in the history of this country when it comes to black americans and what they've done. i will take that any day of the week compared to donald trump and particularly j.d. vance, they record when it comes to doing things for communities
6:30 am
that look like mine, from the cradle to the grave. >> dana: shout out to abraham lincoln. >> [laughs] >> dana: come on, you got to give him a little credit! >> i will stand with joe biden and kamala harris in the record. >> dana: you are a loyal dude. thank you for being here. >> bill: good to s see you both. >> dana: harold ford union and i cover the state of the race on my podcast, just posted last night, so it's the latest information available wherever you listen to podcasts. >> you can hear harold loud and clear. former aide for kathy hochul now indicted and accused of acting as an agent for the chinese communist government. what? the stunning claims made in that case in a moment. jury selection, hunter biden's tax trial about to begin in l.a. what to expect as hunter heads back to court. absolutely. at newday usa, that's what we're doing. we put our arm around the veterans. when i think of the veteran out there that needs to refi his home, he may want to purchase and we can help them and provide that financial solution for them and their families. it's a great, rewarding feeling.

6:36 am
merrick garland, this is just the beginning. >> the charges unsealed today are just one part of our effort to target every aspect of hamas' operations. these actions will not be our last. the justice department has a long memory. we will pursue the terrorists responsible for murdering americans, and those who illegally provide them with material support, for the rest of their lives. >> dana: andy mccarthy led the prosecution. this came up last night when we were on "the five." it was surprising to me to see a couple of names on there, but you have even looked further. some of these guys are dead. >> yeah, three of the six "defendants" -- i think a normal, sensible times we would call them alien enemy combatants -- but three of the six defendants here are deceased. the justice department had to know that, even though doj is
6:37 am
not supposed to prosecute dead people, because you can't. they had to have known this as they were drafting the charges, because one of them was killed in march. >> dana: so it was the point? >> its astonishing. well, it is a press release more than a charging instrument. it is supposed to demonstrate that kamala harris in particular is really tough on hamas, and especially the fact that hamas is backed by iran, which they go on at some length about. i think coming away from this, dana, the impression you have to have, if we have known all this stuff about hamas all this time while they were conspiring to kill americans, why weren't these charges brought like four years ago when the people were still alive? >> dana: this saturday will mark ten months since october 7th, so that's a long time to put this together. i know cases are not necessarily easy to put together, but we knew this, and as you mentioned, one of them has been dead for five months. the seven accounts included in the complaint, we can pull them
6:38 am
out for you here, it's about providing material support, the merger of u.s. nationals and financing terrorism. but i want to see to migrate something from the point about iran which you mention. "based on my review of materials published both by hamas and the government of iran and their respective leaders, i learned that hamas has continued to courtney closely with the government of iran in furtherance of terrorist activities since the october 7th hamas massacres." and a demonstration continues continues to basically do everything to criticize netanyad not hamas or iran, at least publicly. >> yeah, the administration has funded iran to the tune of tens of billions of dollars, knowing that, when iran has that funding, it supports hamas and hezbollah and the houthis in all its anti-american jihadist proxies. i think the lesson here is that september 10th counterterrorism's back, meaning
6:39 am
the style that we had from the time the world trade center was bombed in '93 until it was destroyed on 9/11. if you're going to do pre-9/11 counterterrorism, you are asking for 9/11 results. let's pray we don't get them. >> dana: i also want to ask you about this, i think some people might have forgotten, but jury selection in the hunter biden tax evasion trial is set to begin tomorrow. remind us what this case is about and how much trouble hunter biden could be in. >> well, there is a limit to how much trouble he can be had. i think he's going to trial under circumstances where a plea would normally be the thing that would happen in a case like this, because he's playing with the house money. if he gets convicted, he's going to be pardoned by his father, the president. so i guess he can roll the dice and take a chance that maybe can beat the case. but what the case is mainly about, and the reason i thought it would go away on a plea, hunter biden's cashing in on his father's political influence. it's going to be a case that is
6:40 am
tremendously embarrassing to the white house, assuming that it goes to trial, and it's also not going to speak well to the prosecutors, particularly david weiss, the special counsel, who sat on his hands and let the statute of limitations run on a number of the most serious criminal events that happened while joe biden was vice president in the obama administration. so i'm really surprised it's going to trial. i thought just because of the embarrassment potential on both sides that they would see their way clear to get a plea done. >> dana: instead we have a trial, so jury selection starts tomorrow. no doubt we will be in touch with you, and thank you for being on the show today. >> thanks, dana. >> announcer: dana reed's sports. >> dana: two americans will face off in the u.s. open men's semifinal for the first time in nearly 20 years.
6:41 am

a string of iconic american companies to roll back the "woke initiatives." fox business host charles payne here on this and more. hello to you, my friend. so dei is going to die, all right? not just that she would go, coolers, jack daniel's says no thanks. ford says no longer. john deere, lowes, and tractor supply. what's going on? >> first of all, some of those names would surprise you in the first place that they would be on there. if you look at the history of coor's or tractor supply, these are companies that were born in the heartland and they grow so big they start hiring these consultants from ivy league schools. that was your first mistake. they don't know your customer. they don't know who the customer is. why would you hire somebody who doesn't even understand your business and then start to make the sort of decisions? it's not just dei. they join the global human rights counsel, the sort of things. i did go on their website. they still have an esg button that bothers me. but one step at a time.
6:49 am
i brought the tractor supply statement down because it was more of what i thought was fascinating. this company really said, okay, we didn't just complete the program, we are out of it. there are no longer in the human rights campaign. we are going be focused on things like rural america, ffa, rodeos, farmers' markets, state fairs, animal shelters. we are going to focus on what the people who shop at our establishment's really care about. speak to our shareholders happy about this? >> i think shareholders are probably ecstatic about it. stakeholders may not be, and that the difference. and this is where i think the chamber of commerce really let down american businesses a few years ago. when they shifted. before, they statement said we are here for the shareholders. then a few years ago they succumbed to the pressure and said we are here for the stakeholders. sometimes the stakeholders is the tree in front of the building. i mean, really, it's not people who have skin in the game, and it invites everyone to have an opinion and everyone to push the

company around, and no company can operate like that when you have all these potential bosses or folks you have to appease. >> bill: we will see if more come along the way. >> dana: kamala harris has this proposal and we want to ask you about it. she wants to give small businesses a $50,000 tax deduction for start up expenses, despite an irs warning that such tax breaks would end up in the wrong pockets. >> bill: $50,000. today you can get $5,000. this is 10x. >> the thing is, how do you collect on it? you have to be profitable at some point. i think you have to carry it until you are profitable. the most important thing, this is another gimmick. by the way, that when you talked about, which has come under a lot of pressure, they actually asked them to remove this. the irs have been investigated, 12,000 of these applications. maybe more than a billion dollars of bogus claims. they called it the gold rush of bogus claims. listen, there is no sense in

trying to say i'm here for small businesses when you have gone to war against small businesses. when you go to war against, for instance, the food industry with the profit margin, the good grocery stores, 2%. when i say, i'm going to tax corporate america -- because these companies really need capital. true capital. not gimmicks, not reductions later if they ever become profitable. they need a flow through the system. if she becomes president, and i know she will go to war with our capitalist system, small businesses are going to be starved. the entrepreneurial spirit will be starved. she's probably going to say today that we saw a bunch of entrepreneurial ship under joe biden because her goal is to do that 10x. that's a falsehood, as well. >> bill: number three, i just want to show viewers again, abc news found trump up in the economy by eight points. i don't know if the economy is the issue in all these battleground states. keep an eye on this. can't trump to say every time she put something out, why don't
6:52 am
you do it now? why wait? >> of course. >> bill: every issue across the board. >> yeah, he could say that. and her defenders will say she is the vice president, not the president, that kind of thing. but more important is the dangers of a harris presidency and the core of what made america great in the first place. what i was saying, you're going to hear about all these new business applications that erupted under joe biden, like record amounts. and that is a falsehood, as well. they reclassify what a business application is. so if you are an uber eats driver, you are a new business prayed that we have two categories, when that plan to hire people and has a high propensity of hiring people. those actually gone down. we do need to rekindle the entrepreneurial spirit in this country, and i think a harris presidency would destroy it. >> dana: a big jobs number coming out on friday. >> the anxiety is in the air. you can feel it.
