gunman reportedly approached from the jordanian side and opened fire at israeli security force before being killed in the shootout. we will have more on this breaking news just hate. welcome to "fox news live," i'm mike emanuel. but first, former president trump and vice president harris now just two days away from their pivotal debate as new polling out today shows mr. trump gaining 4 points on harris in the past month, now billioning ahead nationally -- i pulling ahead nationally in a tightening race. alexis mcadams is live in pittsburgh with the latest. >> reporter: hey, miefnlgt if you can believe it, less than two months until the presidential election, and just a couple of days until that upcoming presidential debate in pennsylvania. it's going to be a pivotal debate here as people decide who they're going to vote for as polls show things are very tight. this is the latest poll that a just came in this weekend. "the new york times" and sienna if college poll asking likely voters if the 2024 presidential election were held today, who would you vote for if the candidates were kamala harris and donald trump?

you can see trump is leading harris there 48-47%. that's within the pool's % -- 3 margin of error. the debate will be a deciding factor, so vice president kamala harris, mike, doing everything she can to get ready for the debate in pennsylvania. the harris campaign says they're not happy with some of abc news' debate rules including muted microphones. they claim it's just going to benefit donald trump because they were kind of depending on that a back and forth there. we understand that donald trump is a risk to the skip this debate if we don't accede to his preferred format. is for that reason, we accept the full set of rules. today pennsylvania democratic senator john fetterman telling cnn he thinks both candidates are going to do well. >> i also want to just say that it's going to be a straight-up debate. she's going to do great, of course, but donald trump will be good too. i mean, we can all remember he wrecked all of the republicans. he's a good debater.

but at the end of the day, i don't believe this debate's to going to be defendtive -- definitive it's going to come down to this choice, and it's going to be close. >> reporter: and that's the thing, harris has been doing that debate prep here many pittsburgh, mike, for days, but how you prepare for donald trump? he usually goes off script, off fronter and, you know, kind of off the cuff. it might be difficult to the know what he's going to say. trump won the coin flip for the debate, so he's going to have the final word, mike. mike: alexis mcadams kicking off a big week in politics, many thanks. former president trump slammed vice president harris' record on crime, immigration and the economy during a rally saturday in battleground wisconsin. senior national correspondent rich edson has more. >> reporter: it was former president donald trump's last scheduled campaign event before tuesday's debate, a rally in wisconsin. part of the northern midwest blue wall the democrats will likely have to depend if they want to to maintain control of the white house.

trump's airplane flew at a few hundred feet and tipped the its wing to the crowd in wisconsin, a conservative area about a 90-minute drive west of green bay. in a speech lasting 100 minutes, the former president said he'd raise tariffs, secure the border and have the war in ukraine finished, done and settled before inauguration day. he touted his vp pick, senator j.d. vance, and robert f. kennedy jr. who suspended his campaign pain to endorse trump. he called the current administration stupid and corrupt. >> he is the worst president in history, she will be worse than him. and trump is never wrong. i am never, ever wrong. >> reporter: trump has been outlining plans for the economy. on top of tariffs, he's pushing a commission on government efficiency led by elon musk. he also wants to cut regulations and taxes. democrats say his proposals are little more than a giveaway to the rich. we asked the trump campaign how the former president is preparing for the debate. a campaign official responded, what's debate prepsome mike?

mike: rich edson, thanks very much. we'll have much more coming up with our panel, and make sure to tune in to special coverage of the abc presidential debate simulcast. our coverage begins tuesday the at 5:00 eastern with "five." ♪ mike: three israelis were killed at the border of jordan and the west bank. the bridge crossing is now closed following the incident. this as a massive new protest took place saturday in tel aviv with demonstrators calling for hostages to come home. trey yingst is live in tel aviv with the latest. hello, trey. >> reporter: mike, good afternoon. it was the largest demonstration since the war began, half a million people taking to the streets of tel aviv calling for a hostage deal. there were also gatherings in other major cities like jerusalem and haifa, calling for an agreement to be reached. but at this point in the war, these demands could remain unmet.

american negotiating teams are trying to to bridge another to gap with the proposal to get israel and hamas on the same page as a reports indicate there are new disagreements about which palestinian prisoners would be released for the israeli captives. >> we've got to bring them all home, the hostage aings. the alive ones, the dead ones, because otherwise there is no in future to this country. >> reporter: with the war raging on inside gaza, israel is conducting many new airstrikes along the strip, though the more active front now is northern israel where iran-backed hezbollah launched dozens of rockets across the border overnight. daily israeli counterstrikes have targeted different hezbollah positions in southern lebanon. we're tracking one development on israels reel's -- israel's eastern border when a gunman conducted a record attack on the allenby bridge. clearly, multiple fronts ongoing for the israeli military, and is reilly officials are under

increasing pressure to reach an agreement and try to stabilize the region. mike: trey yingst live in el avive, thanks very much. for more on this, let's bring in hudson institute senior rebeccah heinrichs ricks. welcome. >> thank you. good to be here. mike: whattous your reaction to the latest violence there? >> it's a refinaller even as israel prosecutes this war, it's still trying to conduct trade, and that particular crossing still has normal diplomatic and trade relations with jordan. so something like this is, it's the devastating. and even to though jordan has been critical of israel, it still is supposed to be providing some kind of security over those crossings. and so, again, just strained relationship there between those two countries and a reminder that israel's still trying to conduct itself as a country as it prosecutes this war. mike: here's the can cia director on cease ceasefire talks. >> i hope profoundly, they're going make that decision because, as i said, there's the an enormous amount at a stake

here. >> that decision has not been made by the two parties. >> well, i think, you know, we will make this more detailed proposal, e hope, in the next several days and then we'll see. mike: what is your assessment of that effort? >> well, you know, ultimately, i think all this is going to be the futile. until you actually have, again, the iranians are the game-changer in all of this. but one more thing i did want to say too because in your coverage you had that israeli woman talking about the hostages that are still there and still alive, and that is really the biggest kind of live wire in all of this. in any kind of negotiations that are going to go on. as an american, i feel the same sense of solidarity because there was an american-israeli hostage, herb,, who was just -- hersh, who was just shot, executed by hamas. remember, these are american citizens, these are israeli citizens that are still alive and being held hostage a. and so the cruelty, i think, of hamas is really on display. you can see kind of the pressure building to really, again, the pressure needs to go on iran though. iran is sort of the person, the

organizing person or act a or to have behind a all of this in terms of hamas. mike: okay. three years after the afghanistan withdrawal, we expect a big report out tomorrow from the house foreign affairs chairman michael mccaul. here's his preview of that. >> -- the the foreign policy's at stake. what happened after afghanistan impacted the world. mike: what are your expectations, rebecca? >> gosh, i mean, kudos to the chairman mccaul for continuing to pressen on this. this is going to be the an issue that's going to be really big deal in the political election going on between harris who is the incumbent. she is the incumbent candidate here, and she has owned the decision that biden made to withdraw and the way they conducted that that afghanistan withdrawal. if so there's a lot of emotions here, and they already can see the harris campaign trying to hair or the blame with that for the trump -- for that with the trump administration. but when you see who was the final decider,-biden, harris and antony blinken. chairman mccaul is trying to to get the secretary of state

back to the committee to say what did we do wrong here, and the full responsibility does rest with the harris campaign and administration. mike: if the vice president was the last advisor in the room before the afghanistan decision was made as they have been likely to say over months, does she have some explaining to do to the american people tuesday night in the debate on this withdrawal? >> oh, 100%. and i mean this, set the politics aside, this is an american issue. and if you remember, this was really the time that the media a was really trying to focus on the decisions around biden-harris at the time because it was such a disaster. i mean, the americans who were killed around abbey gate, the decision to outsource security, the parameter to the taliban, the decision to abandon the air force base there, i mean, all of that rests with -- it's a political decision by biden-harris, and hearst herself said she was the last person in the room, and she was comfortable with that decision. she owns that. i would not let her off the hook on that. mike: a lot of gold star families want answers.

they may get some starting tomorrow. rebecca hine riggs, thanks very much. congress returns monday for the first time in weeks as lawmakers must avoid a government shutdown by early october. but house speaker mike johnson is insisting on attaching a bill to the spending bill requiring proof of citizenship to vote. senior congressional correspondent chad pergram explains. >> reporter: no proof, no vote. house speaker mike johnson wants people to demonstrate they are a citizen before voting. he aims to to attach this to an interim spending bill which runs through early next year. the house passed a similar voting bill over the summer. >> we all know intuitively that a lot of illegals are voting in federal elections, but it's the not been something that is easily prove,. we don't have that number. this legislation will allow us to do the exactly that. it will prevent that from happening. >> reporter: conservatives believe it's crucial to show you're a citizen before voting. they point to a flood of illegal inflation, and now some cities allow anyone to vote in local elections but not for federal

office. there's concern few guardrails could lead to mix-ups. >> san francisco, new york, d.c., bunch of other jurisdictions have started to really actively take efforts to register noncitizens to vote allegedly just for state and local elections, but it really is hard to to tell the can difference. >> reporter: still, it's unclear if the bill can pass the house. even if the house approves the participation it likely faces a buzz saw in the democratically-run senate. >> this is a solution looking for a problem. i mean, there is no evidence that undocumented migrants vote. >> reporter: republicans want the voting provision to ride on the spending bill which renews current money with no new add-ons through early next year. here's why. conservatives are banking on a gop hat trick, a republican house and senate, and former president trump back in the white house. that way with they can implement their spending priorities over the winter and in the wait until

if fall. mike? mike: chad pergram, thanks a lot. as congress is set to return to the hill tomorrow or, joining me now is texas republican congressman and member of the trump assassination attempt task forbes congressman pat fallon. congressman, welcome. >> thanks, mike. how are you? mike: great. so a key point of business during this work period will be funding the government beyond the end of the month. as we've been talking about, the speaker wants the attach this bill basically requiring citizenship, proof of citizenship to vote. do you support his approach? >> 100%. i mean, mike, this is common sense legislation. the fact that it is right now the honor system, you just have to check a box when you use a federal voter registration form and promise that a you're a u.s. citizen. and we know that a 1 is million people have -- 11 million people have crossed the southern border under this administration. and it is not, as the senator from arizona a said, a solution -- problem looking for a solution or you know what i

mean -- mike: yeah. >> -- it is a major problem! we do need a solution. considering that the last election was decided by about 80,000 votes out of well over 100 million cast, this is -- there's nothing more sacrosanct in a republic than to make sure you have secure, honest, transparent and open elections. mike: a harris campaign co-chair says this is not a serious proposal. let's play it. >> we already know that to vote in the united states you have to to be a u.s. citizen. that already is the law. and so republicans basically just want to play political games and tie the future of our economy and real people's to jobs to these horrific plans that a really get us and do nothing for the actual country or for actual voting security. mike: do you worry about this approach putting some of your swing district colleagues in a difficult position? if. >> no, becauses it is -- when you look at the polls, over 80% of americans don't have any problem with voter id and securing elections. in fact, it's a priority for

them. and so -- to sit there and say it's already illegal -- yeah, but it's the not enforce if,ing. if you check that box and you don't say anything to anybody and you're an illegal, it's almost impossible to catch you. you've got to prove you're a citizen before you start that voter registration process. and in texas just in the last 13 year, criminal illegals have committed 513,000 crimes, 299,000 of them have been arrested, and it's resulted in 187,000 convictions, murder, rape, assault, things like that. you're telling me of all those people, none of them voted illegally as well, they wouldn't be willing to do that? of course they would be. this is, again, a common sense way to make it very hard to cheat. still very easy to vote, but it's difficult to cheat. mike: you remember the task force -- you're a member of the task force investigating the assassination attempt of former president trump. are you satisfied with your investigation? >> i'm not satisfies -- satisfied with the secret service and fbi, because heir dragging your feet. they're going to tell you that

they're cooperating. that's a half-truth. her not being proactive at all -- they are not being proactive at all. we have still not even seen the rifle that the crooks used. i toured the site again with mike kelly, the chairman, last week. and what struck me are two things. one, we stood right at the site, right at the spot where president trump spoke. the proximity of that agr building just leaps out at you, mike. it's one of the first buildings you need to secure. it's obvious. the second thing was, there was a fence that was actually -- chain-link fence, 50 yards closer the where the shooter was that wasn't secured, so everybody behind that, hundreds of people, were never checked for anything. the secret service didn't even put a tarp on the chain-link fence. so there could have been dozens of people armed shooting at the president. it was a major failure, and i think it's criminally negligent. mike mike my understanding is your panel wants to hear from local law enforcement by the end of the month. how critical are those interviews? if. >> they're very critical because

right now we still don't know the -- there seems to be two counter sniper teams that took shots at crooks, one that killed him from secret service and one local that may have actually hit the rifle. we don't know because the secret service -- rather, the fbi hasn't shown us that as well. mike: okay. >> and also, mike, the fbi cleaned the rooftop the next day and then a few days after that, crooks' body was cremated. i mean, this is just not the way to conduct an investigation of national import. mike: congressman patfall ifon from the great state of texas, thanks for your time. >> thanks, mike. god bless. mike: a minnesota aunt underway -- manhunt underway in kentucky. we vi the details coming up' nex'.di ♪se but even after all these years, restoration is still possible. learn how at tedhelp.com.

a 75 miles south of lexington. a gunman shot into nine vehicles in the north and southbound lanes. sheriff's deputies arrived to find cars on both sides of the road with windows shot out and bullet holes in various parts of their vehicles. they're urging the public to contact authorities if they have any information regarding the whereabouts of this man, 32-year-old joseph couch of woodbind, kentucky. they identified him as a person of interest in this case. they describe couch as a 5-10, 145 pounds and someone who is armed and dangerous. investigators are working to pin down a motive for this shooting. >> seven people that was injured, not all of them was gun shots, some of them was due to an accident. there is no deceased at this time. no one was killed from this, thankfully. but we ask that you continue to pray. >> reporter: multiple law enforcement agencies are assisting in the search for the person of interest in this case including kentucky state police

steps the school may have taken following that phone call is going to be heavily scrutinized. >> reporter: 14-year-old's mother does have a past with drugs, family violence and other crimes, but she's not involved in the shooting case, and the d.a. says that she is cooperating with the investigation. the teenager's father, however, is charged with murder along with his son. so, of course, still a lot of legal questions surrounding the teen and his parents. students, meanwhile, in the bare row county school district will be back in class on tuesday except for apalachee high school students who are till trying to process the shooting at their school. it's unclear when they'll go back. there's been several vigils since the tragedy. students, community members and people from all over the country are coming together at the memorials to ohioan the two students -- honor the two students and two teachers killed in the attack. and here in atlanta, mike, the falcons are playing a home game at mercedes benz stadium, and the football players actually wore apalachee high school

campaign. e recognize how important this seat is. i also recognize the inflection point america's at, so we're going to continue to talk to montanans directly on the ground, bypass the media that's always misconstrue thing our message, we're going to shake their hand, look them in the eye and talk to them about how we're going to save this country. jon tester's been in there way too long. mike: let's show our audience the aarp poll of that race which has she he leading 5 a 1-% to 45%. what are you see having on the ground as you campaign across montana? >> we're seeing a tremendous amount of enthusiasm. people are ready for new leadership here. they recognize that jon tester's been a rubber stamp for the biden-harris-walz agenda for the last three and a half years. frankly, he's been in elected office, state and federal, for almost 30 years, so he's been a reliable progressive that entire tame. -- time. but the last three and a half years we've had the white house

passing incredibly progressive legislation that is harming everyday montanans from inflation to open border, anti-energy policies. hay correctly attribute much of that to jon tester who voted with biden-harris every single time it mattered, voted against every single one of trump's judicial nominees, battled all of trump's cabinet secretary appointments, many of whom would have been transformational for the v.a. and helped our veterans actually get the help they knead. jon tester has stood there every single time and advanced the progressive agenda, and then he wants to come here and run like a republican here these past few months. we're reminding montanans that it's time to elect donald trump and give him the senate to get things done this fall. mike: in surprise you face some scrutiny as well. let's show the audience the headline, trump-backed u.s. candidate faces scrutiny for derogatory comments about native americans. do you regret making those comments? >> listen, you know, they put us

under a microscope and tried to make me anti-veteran. they're even saying anti-veteran even though i'm a combat wounded veteran, and my wife's a veteran. the is the native americans, should be offended by the democratic party who have unleashed fentanyl, drug cartels and crime on our reservations across the state of minnesota montana. hay deserve an apology from jon tester and the democrat party, and every day we're seeing a law enforcement crisis on our reservations, seeing drugs at levels we've never seen and, obvious, missing persons and missing women on our reservations across the state. they deserve an apology from the democrat party for lying to them for years and continually undermining the security of their communities. mike: and finally, are things patched up with the native american community? the are they okay with you? >> well, listen, you know, it's -- i'm a first-time candidate, so a lot of people in montana are getting to know me and, you know, i brand with our native partners every year on the reservation and, you know,

we go out and have fun together, and i think most of them see this as yet another parsing of words trying to make me somebody i'm not. the truth is the policies of jon tester have harmed our native communities time and time again. they recognize that. mike: tim sheehy, fascinating race. thank you so much for your time today. >> thanks, mike. mike: with only two days to go before tuesday's pivotal debate, form former president trump and vice president harris find themselves in a tightening race despite a summer surge for harris. a brand new new york times-sienna poll out today shows donald trump leading kamala harris 48% to 47%. for more, let's bring in our panel, colin reid and precision strategies' association vice president rich lieu chetty. gentlemen, welcome. >> thanks, mike. mike so, rich, what's to your reaction to the numbers in that poll? >> this is going to be a really close election. there's two to months to go. i think it's 50-50 either side.

you look at the house, it's probably 50-50 there as well, and i would say kamala harris still the underdog in this campaign. look, she came off the bench a few months ago to lead this democratic ticket, but if there's one thing that i know, it's that america loves the underdog. the nfl is kicking off today, america really loves a comeback story. we've seen that time and time again. so i think over the next two months starting with tuesday's debate, she's going to have an opportunity to lay out her vision for how she would govern this country, and we'll see what voters decide when they go to the polls in november. mike: i'd like to show our audience the way "the new york times" character uses this poll. new poll shows harris' progress has stalled after a euphoric august. what about that,s colin? >> i agree with rich, and the tie goes to the runner in baseball, the tie goes to trump in the polls because his voters don't show up in the pomming data. so if -- polling data. so if this is tide, that's good news for the former president, tough news for vice president is harris.

and think about the summer she had. think about the adulation, the nonstop fawning press coverage, and this is still a tie race. i don't know how things could possibly go any better for her, and yet this thing remainses tight as a tick, a total jump ball going into election day. mike: to tuesday night, the huge debate on abc, simulcast here. john cornyn offering his preview. >> i think he needs to let kamala harris talk. something she's e been reluctant to do unless she's reading a teleprompter. and i think, you know, we've seen the polls very close, but mainly she's coming off of this as james carville called it a sugar high. mick mike rich -- mike: rich, what are your expectations going into this debate? >> i think it's a critical moment for the campaign. this is the one time voters are going to have an understood to see the two candidates side by side and assess them. debates are not decisive by any means. we've seen candidates lose

debates but win the election, but they can provide defining moments for candidates. donald trump is going into this debate, his eighth presidential debate, he should perform well, but there's a lot of reporting that his aides are nervous, what he might do off the curve. if he mentions hand ball lecter, that -- hannibal lecter, that's a mistake. if he attacks kamala harris in ugly, personal terms, that will be a big mistake. and on the other side is, voters still want to hear more from kamala harris about her vision for how she would govern, so there's a lot of upside here. there's a lot of opportunity for her to lay out that vision, explain that to voters, and they'll have a chance to assess the two candidates side by side. mike: hillary clinton, who debated trump in 2016, said she believes he can be rattled. what are you focused on heading into this debate, colin? >> well, this is the entire ball game right here. we saw in june within seconds of the debate, joe biden's 50-year political career over or just like that. the same thing could happen for

either of these candidates, frankly, going into tuesday. vice president harris wants to make this about personality, about trump. the american people know donald trump warts and all. they know his presidency. they like his presidency, but they have some questions about him9 and the commander in chief test, whether he can pass that again. vice president harris, on the other hand, has been the democratic standard bearer for six weeks, we've heard from her for 17 minutes in one interview on a different network. we're probably not going to have another debate, and that's a shame. but the point is, this is the one chance for president trump to make the point that vice president harris' policies will hurt the american people where they care the most. mike: all right. let's show our audience the rules going into tuesday night's debate. there's been debate about the rules, but muted microphones when the other candidate's speaking, no live studio audience, only pen, paper and water on stage, no prewritten notice or props. 2-minute if answers to questions, 2-minute rebuttals, 1 extra minute for follow-ups, clarifications or responses. rich, fair rules. >> i think they're fair rules.

i know there was a discussion last week over the muted microphones and, again, there's some concern within the trump team, does a muted microphone help him. but at the end of the day, i think voters are going to assess the two candidates based on their vision for what they will do to make life better for them. because remember, and colin is right, this isn't about the two candidates. voters know donald trump. they saw him in office for four years. what they want to learn more about is kamala harris' vision for the future. and at the end of the day, this is going to be about which candidate the voters trust to do better not for themself as the candidate, but for the american people. mike: well, and how she handles unscripted, her record with president biden, right? >> right. she needs to spent this debate making people forget that she's part of the administration they don't like. by way, she's one-half of the administration, it's the bind-harris administration. a lot of policies that a people really don't like how they're being handled. and donald trump needs to remind

people of the policies they did like from his presidency. it's so interesting, because you've got two quasi-incumbents running against each other, nothing if like that in american history. mike: do you expect the audience to be watching and paying close attention? >> i think we'll see a big audience for this debate. i think folks want to know what kamala harris' vision is. i think a lot of folks will also see clips after the debate. they might not be watching on tv, they might be watching on streaming platforms. it's a new media environment, but i think across the board we will see -- >> 50million people watched the last debate. when you think the election was started by 45,000 voters a few years ago, that a says it all. mike: gentlemen, thanks very much. >> thank you. mike: president biden back in delaware this weekend where he has remained quiet on his son hunter's guilty plea in his federal tax trial. lucas tomlinson is live at the white house with more. hello, lucas. >> reporter: good afternoon, mike. recall last year president biden said in an interview his son did

nothing wrong. now his son hunter has pled guilty to those tax charges, likely avoiding lurid details about hookers and sex, drugs and all that. the president very happy that that will not be now in the public eye. the president did not speak to reporters while leaving church yesterday, likely saving his vice president from the embarrassment of having this case go to trial. >> reporter: president biden, will you pardon your son? >> reporter: and on sunday morning futures, congresswoman anna paulina luna says she's put forth new legislation to make sure there's no foreign influence going guard in the white house. going forward. >> whole thing was that hunter biden was really the keystone in regards to the influence peddling that was really benefiting the now-sitting president, joe biden. and so i do believe that our actual delegation and our committee needs to actually put forward legislation to stop influence peddling at this magnitude.

>> reporter: and here's jonathan turley earlier about a hunter biden's guilty plea. >> i mean, it came off like, well, okay, call the shot here. you're accused of nine felonies. you're guilty or you're not, and eventually he had to do it. but i that was typical of this defense. it was a series of jump scares that didn't work, and then they ended up in a worse position than they started. >> reporter: now, in a statement, hunter biden said he hopes by pleading guilty and avoiding trial he will save his family and the country from, quote, needless embarrassment. the white house has maintained the president will not be pardoning his son, of course, for months, mike, the president also said he would be staying in the race. mike? mike: lucas tomlinton -- tomlinson, many thanks. council members demanding a halt to sanctuary city laws due to increased terror threats. to increased terror threats. we'll have more on that story next. why? for a comprehensive, quality eye exam!

the six republicans and three democrats on new york city's common sense caucus wrote to her this week saying in part, quote: as you know, new york city is a prime target for terrorism, and we cannot afford to be complacent in the face of such threats. the the the inability of i.c.e. to cooperate fully with law enforcement due to existing sanctuary city laws severely hampers our efforts to ensure the safety of our residents. any permanent changes to the sanctuary laws would take legislative action, and so far there's been no indication that the council would seriously consider walking back any sanctuary policies which immigration rights advocates argue are essential to fight what they call unfair law enforcement actions. but the republican and democratic co-chair of the common sense caucus told fox why they feel it's urgent for the governor to step in. >> whether you agree with the policy or not, if you're a resident of even the most progressive neighborhoods of new

york, you are noticing that there is more crime. and not just the crime as aspect, but also the money aspect. >> as of two months ago, over 205,000 migrants have come to the new york city in the last two years. that is, it's simply not believable to say that our crime numbers are not seeing the result of that policy. >> reporter: now, this latest call to action comes as new reporting from the new york post says that migrants make up as many as 75 percent of arrests in midtown manhattan for crimes like assault, robbery and domestic violence. we've reached out to governor kathy hochul's office, mike, but i have not yet heard back. mike: c.b. cotton, thanks very much. both trump and harris' economic policies would affect small business, that's next. ♪ ♪

administration is simply looking to propose $5 trillion on, in new taxes on small businesses. she wants to increases the corporate tax rate to 28%, and she wants us to believe that that's only going to affect google and amazon, but there's a million small businesses that are structured as corporations. in addition and what will be even more devastating is the tax cuts and jobs act is due to expire next year, and she wants to let it expire. she can't choose who gets to keep the taxes and who gets the taxes increased on them, unfortunately. and so these types of policies will be devastating for everyday, ordinary americans. mike: jobs report out friday, 14 2,000 jobs created during the month of august not meeting expectations. what is your assessment of the state of our economy on jobs? >> we weren't surprised, mike, at all by this very weak jobs report. we've been saying for a long

time and, frankly, we feel vindicated because we've been saying for such a long time that the labor market is far weaker than the top-line number suggested. and really the reason why is that small businesses are breaking under the weight of inflation and overregulation and high energy costs. when you look at the jobs that are being created under the current administration, they are coming in the form of government and quasi-government jobs that are supported by taxpayer dollars like social services sector and health care jobs. and now what's even more alarming is that 8 million people now have second jobs just to make ends meet because inflation is killing them. and then, of course, we saw the 818,000 jobs that were revised down for the last12 months, and what we -- 12 the months, and what we saw increase under that report was more government jobs. we can't have a strong labor market with government jobs. mike: president biden loves to talk about all the job creation
