host: speaking of public policymakers, you work at aei. what do you hope policymakers take from this report about the attitudes of american workers? guest: what a wonderful question. i hope they will study it because there is an enormous amount of interesting data here. they will see many people are struggling, twice as many as those who are getting ahead. the vast majority saying they are keeping pretty stable, as a number of your callers have suggested. there is a number of pain and i think the poles documented well. poles should not be used to make policy. they are too blunt an instrument. i think they can tell us about what makes a public tip. that is what i hope policymakers will use it for. i hope they can inform in some general but not specific sense what americans are concerned about. we did not focus on health care concerns, we certainly did focus on the employment aspect. the health care concerns are also very great right now. host: let's see if we can squeeze a couple of more callers in. let's start with rich who was calling fro

only thing i can imagine where it might make a difference, and i was interviewing norm ornstein fromm aei, there's a couple of senate races where endangered incumbents come i, and mean for instance, declared she's not going to vote for ginsburg before the election and there's a few others where it could be dicey and it puts them on the spot having to choose between the trump base and the moderates and particularly women who they might not want to lose. you are going to need for that would not vote with mcconnell, for republicans. and today i can't account for them. i can't. they might get romney, murkowski and collins, but i don't know who the fourth would be. everybody is watching. >> guest: certainly. but the idea of hypocrisy, what is the hypocrisy? >> guest: it's not going to hurt their feelings. >> guest: actually i think that is kind of the wrong word. it is playing ultimate political hardball. and as we know, the democrats will do that as well but republicans. so, it's going to be a moment where you have to sit on the edge of your seat because there's going to be maneuvers and surp

the issue for me is that if the ecb starts making noise is, as you said, they have to be sure have aey actually credible policy response. in this case, i am not entirely sure. i think it is extremely hard. the room for policy maneuver is fairly limited. i expect that on a idiosyncratic basis from governing council members, we will hear some verbal noises and intervention, but i think we are not going to see any, for example, rate cuts by the ecb. jonathan: what i am trying to think about, if we go through some choppy waters, it is an early day of this kind of price action. restrictions over in europe. what is the pressure valve in g10? what is the currency that everything rallies against, and there is not much pushback? traditionally it would be the u.s. dollar. what is it now? vasileios: for the time being, it remains the dollar. it is just that the pace of dollar depreciation or the pace of other currency appreciation toinst the dollar is likely be slower than it was before. largely because the move have been very abrupt. there has been a lot of petitioning against dollar short posit

i can imagine that might make a difference is, and i was in reviewing norm ornstein about this from aei and he said there's a couple of senate races with endangered republican incumbent, susan collins was declared she's not going to vote for for a replacement for ginsburg before the election, and there are a few others where it could be dicey. it puts them on the spot of having to choose between the trump base which it can't afford to lose, and the moderates at particularly women within might not want to lose. i count you will need four who will not vote with mcconnell, four republicans, and today i can't count for much of it. they might get romney, murkowski and colleagues. i don't know who the fourth would be. anyway, everybody is watching. >> certainly, but the idea of hypocrisy, what's the hypocrisy? >> not going to hurt their feelings. >> actually, i think it's kind of the wrong word. it is playing ultimate political hardball. and as we know the democrats will do that as will the republicans. it's going to be a moment where he you have to sit on the edge of your seat because there'

so when you actually look at the numbers, you need to adjust for aey had a bigger than presidential yearoff your turnout, so if you normalize saying here we are back in two and the normal politics, and this is where a lot of the posters in arizona are having great difficulty building their models. they are using a blend of 2018 -2016, not adjusting for the under voting republicans in 2018 and fairly substantial over vote of democrats in 2018. david: look ahead to november 3, and maybe afterwards, depending how long it takes to count the votes. in your race up to the presidency, what are the main issues do you believe for the voters in arizona? --. schweikert: for arizona i will not be an expert, but i can give you some really good estimations. we have done some extensive polling in the north phoenix or scottsdale area. we have found some of the economics, issues of dealing with covid, job opportunities, but we also saw some other things bounce off the page. a passionate desire for normality. and that normality meant my kids going to school, getting back to life again. true, i amholds up

aey want to pick up -- paint picture of antifa major involvement. a lot of people don't understand what antifa represents. if you just look at the basic definition of it, it is just anti-fascist and i'm 100% anti-fascist. i'm not a member of antifa. i'm not a member of anything. honestly, i hahate to say it, bt i see a civil war r rht aroundd ththe corner. that shot felt like the beginning of a war. amy: the mayayor of rochester,rw york, has suspended seven police officers involved in the suffocation death of a black man named daniel prude in march. the decision came one day after the man's family released shocking video of his death. prude died from asphyxiation after officers handcuffed him, put a hood over his head, and then pushed his face into the freezing cold ground for two minutes while kneeling on his back. prude was naked and unarmed. rochester mayor lovely ann warren apologized to prude's family. faileddaniel prude was by our police department, our mental health care system, our society, and he was failed by me. amy: daniel prude's daught

daniel blake is a senior fellow at aei, and she wrote an op-ed that addresses this very issue, sayinghat joe biden would be very much a teleprompter president. we don't know who is writing the words that are in the teleprompter. it could be the radical left, such as kamala harris, she and he both said she's at the top of the ticket. it's a slip up, obviously, but the implication is that, even for never trumpers who don't like president trump, at least it wouldn't be a wholesale takeover of the government by the radical left. is that a fair criticism in your mind? >> mr. gingrich: they have picked the most liberal member of the senate. she voted to the left of elizabeth warren, to the left of bernie sanders. i think you have to assume she'll be dominant. just look at their energy levels. she's young, she's aggressive, she has big ambitions. biden can barely get to the teleprompter, and he can't always follow the teleprompter. i don't think the teleprompter said harris-biden. i think you have to assume this is a harris administration with biden allowed to go out and make brief talks. >>

so here is a line from derek s kri cissors at aei he said, let's make sure we focus on tiktok's importanceans that hasn't really been addressed. now oracle is kind of just the babysitter again, i don't want to downplay. from china's point of view this may be way too heavy handed, but have those and are those concerns really being addressed here >> i think the biggest question and the biggest question throughout this whole thing has been around the algorithm. the "a" word is the biggest deal, i think, here. yes, where our data lives is extremely important. but that algorithm, which seems to be tiktok's secret sauce to getting us to stay on that app for so many hours. i've written about this, this app is one of the most addictive things i've ever had on my phone, it's all with that algorithm behind it. if that's not in the hands of a u.s. company and still in the hands of bytedance, there are still a lot of big question marks around that. >> julia >> i think it's really interesting, though, that what we're talking about right now, the idea of a restructuring, having a u.s. company be respons

joining me now to continue our discussion of this huge development tonight is marc thiessen, aei scholarnd fox news contributor, thank you so much for being here. obviously there are a lot of questions now that come up with this huge news this evening but first your thoughts on the passing of ruth bader ginsburg, an enormous pillar of the court. >> any time a giant of our democracy dies, it's a heartbreaking moment, passing of an era. i disagreed with her judicial philosophy and disagreed with her on a lot of things but she was an incredible supreme court justice, she was a wonderful model for us and when partisanship has become almost toxic. shannon was saying her best friend on the court was antonin scalia, someone she never joined in opinions with, they had vigorous discussions for weighty issues, they managed to love opera together and love each other. sadly, the timing of her passi passing, we are going to see the next next weeks or months the greatest period of political control in modern history as the debate over filling her seat takes on. >> martha: 46 days away from a president

aey are a great example of societal organization using washington as a shield to guard against criticism and anything like that. really, it is where we see sort of a major transition in how washington is perceived, how he is marketed, and how people profit from it, this gentlemen. he is the last private owner of the mount vernon estate. he agrees to a contract in 1858. he formally vacates the estate he1860, but before then, labors to turn mount vernon into america's first historic tourism destination. invested in several ventures hoping to capitalize on the public fascination with the famous relative. he negotiated the washington and alexandria steamboat companies so they could have direct access to the peer landing at mount vernon, essentially a constant flow of steamboats would come between alexandria and mount vernon. he even authorizes the building of a wooden plank walkway, which you can see in this photograph, and charged it to the company. probably one of the funnier things i came across in my research was that this land was so valuable that there was a man named george page who a

be aey will not let him lawyer, i will be a lawyer. i know women who were lawyers. all i knew was he wanted to be it so i was going to be at. it was not until i was 13 when i read a lot of books on weekends because nobody ever asked me out. that is ok. judy: we don't believe this. it was good but i decided to be a lawyer. i did not know any women who were lawyers. when i got pregnant in 1973, i did not know any mothers who were lawyers. i was tenacious in my desire to replace what he could not be. the most important thing about my childhood, as an immigrant, you have zero expectations of entitlement. it is all about opportunity. it is all about working really , working really hard in school so you are a top student in school. i played piano because it was important to my parents. they wanted it and i was all about making sure that i lived in accordance with their values. we did not grow up in a jewish neighborhood. of all the kids i knew growing up, it was the happiest home. they never complained. they were never bitter. i never had a sense of demons in the house. i

wheeler: i want to thank aei for inviting me to be here today. month, i provided reflections on the past 50 years of the amber mental protection agency and laid out a plan for its future at the nixon library. today i would like to explain based on what we have accomplished over the past 40 years, how we are going to get to this future. it is incontrovertible that today, the environment is in better shape under president trump than we found it. air pollution in this country has fallen 7%. manyyear, the apa delisted superfund sites. and we will ddelist another 27 this year. apa is supporting 7100 high priority projects in 27,000 jobs during president trump's first term. the trump apa has recovered more this trump epa has recovered more criminal and civil nenalties in a first-term tha the obama-biden administration did in its first term. this is a great deal and great news in terms of america's well-being, but like most great news, you really read about it in newspapers or watch it in new channels. the newsradio purposely and the reports in a good n

aey should try to vote during clear time such as the midmorning. we know there will be sick individuals present on election day, for these people, alternative voting options should be provided to minimize the exposure of a voters and poll workers to coronavirus. designated be a polling site or curbside voting and we should also consider having on-site testing available for sick individuals. [indiscernible] remainment of porkers, should be scaled up and jurisdiction should be used to recruit porkers especially at low risk populations. all porkers should be trained on how to use ppe and individuals should be -- concerned about the snow health care should consult their health care providers. after election day there should be -- [indiscernible] the current pandemic is an unprecedented event in our lifetime, a free, fair, and safe election can be achieved with for ansan support evidence-based approach to the voting process. we encourage proactively coming up with an election plan, nobody should have to choose between the right to vote or to be healthy.

. >> neera, thanks american center -- no, definitely not aei lanhee chen, hoover institution and stanford. andrew >>> coming up on the other side of this break. thanks, joe. a very special interview with martha stewart and the ceo o oof a of agtech going public by, what else, a spac empt e.u. regulators going to have a planned buyout of fit bit. stay tuned you're watching "squawk" on cnbc >>> welcome back to "squawk box" this morning agriculture tech startup appharvest is going public through what else, a spac. the deal will provide appharvest with nearly half a billion in proceeds joining us is appharvest founder and ceo jonathan webb and joined by martha stewart and she's an appharvest board member. congratulations on the deal. jonathan, i'm going to start with you i remember we had you on the show probably a year and a half ago so congratulations to you on this new development but explain why you wanted to be a public company especially given the spac structure and right now the questions about those structures >> well, andrew, thanks for having me. why go public now? because as you ca

let's bring in aei senior fellow danielle pletka.ery openly putting out an opinion piece saying i never considered voting for trump in 2016. i may be forced to vote for him this year. and now this. how does this play into your decision making when it comes to voting for president trump? >> so one of the things that i tried to lay out was my concern about where the democratic party has gone. a lot of people argue about the election and they have a litany of trump's sins and we don't need to list them all but it is not hard. the problem is donald trump is running against somebody, it is not just a person to be determined later. and the democratic party has moved even in the last year so far to the left. the way that the death of justice ginsburg affects this is frankly that i fear that with the abolition of the filibuster the congress, democratic congress will expand the size of the supreme court and potentially all of our other courts as well. >> sandra: it's a really interesting point to make and interesting to hear from you because

this in good faith but i just want to convey to you that when the testing happened on the island of aey walk-through over the lat two weeks, it was only then we were able to test our firefighters and only then we are able to test our first responders and only then that we were able to have the test available to do what it is that is theoretically possible under other circumstances. it is only because you saw a precipitous spike in covid-19 cases. so it is notun true. it is not true the tests are available for firstse responder. >> i totally disagree with you. as the state of hawaii. the turnaround time is under 24 hours with the ac la labs . and i'm happy to work with your state . but there is no reason for for the search, you can fire this company to come into the search for you. we did it and senate down there. in the demandy was great. the hawaii has been unbelievable to work with. we been doing fully subscribed 5000 test today. but a very happy to work with hawaii and they surgeon general just went down and were expanding on the big island. there is no reason that the first responde
