this is ana maria gomes, an m.e.p. >> bedingfield: whoa, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho.mes. >> ana maria gomes: we are taking up malta in the european parliament. >> wertheim: when we met her, ana maria gomes was a portuguese member of the european parliament, leading an e.u. inquiry into the rule of law in malta. she was part of a growing chorus of officials who see the country as a problem child on the continent. >> gomes: the system is basically flawed, because the prime minister ultimately controls the attorney general, who also controls the police. nobody's being tried. and of course, the sense of impunity is being fueled by this fact. and it affects us all. >> wertheim: something's rotten in the state of malta, i hear you say. >> gomes: yes. and such a beautiful island, and such a great people, such a proud history. but, i must say that at the moment, indeed, the political atmosphere is-- is-- is rotten. >> wertheim: we repeatedly asked to speak with prime minister muscat, but were told he didn't have time. instead, the government put forward the finance minister,

i put this to kate bedingfield as well. a good job of showcasing joe biden, the diversity of the party. but not enough on the economy. >> i think part of what they're going to need to do is really emphasize what their agenda's going to be for america, not just for the first hundred days. joe biden is a really good person. kamala is exceptional in all kind of ways. what is their agenda going to look for the next four years? talking about the economic issuesues ri they states, the health care crisis in the united states. one thing that they did really, really well at the convention it was such an unconventional convention. in its silence that really emphasized the crisis that america is facing right now, particularly with covid-19. >> barbara comstock, you agree with that? >> i do think the convention was very focused on personality, not policies. i think that was smart for the democrats to do that way. clearly you see, particularly with women, the suburban women vote that tone of the president, that his sister said about him

joining us now, biden deputy campaign manager kate bedingfield.come to foxman sunday. >> thanks for having me, chris, i appreciate it. >> chris: now that we know the president trump is going to kenosha, wisconsin, on tuesday, there are reports that vice president biden will be making a campaign trip tomorrow. can you tell us where he's going and what the message will be? >> kate: i will answer the question, but first i just want to go back quickly to a couple e of things that lara trump just said. first of all, she said that vice president biden did not quickly condemn the violence around these protests. that's absolutely not true. he came out right after george floyd was killed back in may and said there's no place for violence. he said forcefully again this week, so that's simply not true. the other thing we heard her say is don't listen to what donald trump has said. well, it president words matter. part of the reason that we are in the state of chaos that we are in in this country is that donald trump has failed to lead on the coronavirus, he

>>bedingfield says that biden will be visiting kenosha wisconsin this weekend to address the situation president trump is expected to visit kenosha wisconsin on tuesday to meet with law enforcement. >>this in response to the jacob blake shooting president trump says he wants to crack down on the unrest that has unfolded there, however, the lieutenant governor says the president should cancel his >>you look at the incendiary remarks that the president has may the city entire convention around creating more animosity a creating more division around what's going on in kenosha so i don't know how given any of the previous statements that the president may that he intends to come here to be helpful and we absolutely don't need that right now. >>you know, she's mayor and wisconsin's governor both said they would prefer president trump not visit at this time. however, wisconsin senator ron johnson says he embraces the president's law and order president's law and order approach. he says peacefu protests should not be allowed to qudte turn into a siege and we're also following some developing

. >> kate bedingfield, we appreciate your time. >> thanks for having me. >>> the 17-year-old chargedith killing two protesters in kenosha, wisconsin, will appear in court for first time this morning. illinois teenager kyle rittenhouse had an interest in law enforcement and affinity for guns. this is according to police and social media profiles. before the violence, a self-styled militia group had encouraged armed citizens to take to the streets of kenosha. joining us is the mayor of kenosha, john antaramian. thank you for being here. i know owe just listened to the interview that we did with jacob blake's father, jacob blake sr., and they have one burning question for you. how is it possible in your community that an unarmed black man with his three kids in the car is shot seven times when on tuesday night a heavily armed 17-year-old with an ar-15 can waltz right by police officers -- the kenosha law enforcement as people are pointing and screaming at him and saying that guy just shot two people? how does that work? >> it doesn't work, and what we have been trying to deal with on th

. >> i want to bring in kate bedingfield, biden's manager.ging in that crucial way. you don't have that giant convention center full of people and the balloons. it is really hard to do this without that for anyone. but vice president biden, of course, has spent 50 years in american politics. this is his third time running for president. this is the speech he has wanted to give for a long time. so, what does he want to say tonight, kate? >> look, i think in this moment, americans are looking for presidential leadership, and tonight on that stage, they're going to see a president. he is going to lay out his positive vision for how we can come together, how even in these most divisive times that we're living in we can work together to get things done. that's something that's a hallmark of his time in public life. he is someone who's always been able to work with people across the aisle, to work with people from the most progressive part of the party to independents to republicans. he's somebody that knows how to get things done. tonight i think

we're hearing now -- we just heard from kate bedingfield, the campaign manager that he is getting outhe basically left the stage to the republicans for a full week. >> well, i don't think i agree with that. i mean, the republicans did themselves quite a bit of damage throughout this week with all their lies. i have a different take on what we really know at the end of two weeks. what we know as we look at what's happening in kenosha, wisconsin is a white 17-year-old with an ar-15 long gun approached police and was brushed off as he shot two people. and a black man with a cop holding him by the scruff of the shirt was shot seven times in the back while his three children watched. those are the two visions of america. donald trump is trying to make this about who wants to stop violence. black people want to stop violence. we have been living in violence since the beginning of this country. he's trying to make this about anarchy in the streets, but he's the president. he's trying to blame joe biden when he is the president. why should joe biden be responsible for trump's failures? and al

>> the biden campaign offering rebuttal to the president's speech and the campaign manager kate bedingfield. >> yet more of the same old divisive attacks is being recycled with political hits donald trump and his campaign have tried to throw at joe biden since the moment he got into this race over a year ago. i think it only underscores for people just help arrest a leadership we are right now. >> the biggest contrast will come next thursday when the president will contrast his big speech here at the white house with that of joe biden's tonight. they are in wilmington, the president will have an audience on the set one of the white hou. he has invited the majority of the house and the senate republicans to come and join him on the south lawn. we get a sense that they are already starting to build out of a facility for that, and you can bet it is going to be a grand one. those are the perks of being the president, bill. >> bill: we shall see how many show up, thank you john roberts for that. air force one to wilmington, delaware, and we picked things up with peter doocy and what we can expec

our own chris wallace pressed kate bedingfield on the quote follow science and win under the circumstancesion from home. he pointed out the hypocrisy and the fact that they have changed and made a marked change in their campaign decision to now go out. take a listen. >> he said a week ago that he could win the election from home. he was asked that he said we will. we will follow the science. now he is going to go on a big campaign trail. >> that just disingenuous, chris. he said we will win by following the science. that's what we did from the outset and we will do. hold socially distance events. see him travel in battle ground states. people across this country have been sharing sacrifice. we, as a campaign, have also chosen to behave responsibly. you don't see that from the trump campaign. you certainly didn't see it last week on the south lawn of the white house. steve: brian? emily: brian, tell me if if she is talking about behaving responsibly why is it only now that biden is choosing to condemn violence from all sides? he could have furthered that message from his basement. they are

kate bedingfield is deputy campaignanager and joins me now. very good to see you again. >> thank you for having me. >> woodruff: absolutely. so tonight, what will we learn from joe biden. >> tonight you're going to hear him lay out his positive vision for his country. there's going to be a lot of talk tonight about his biography and his own story of resilience. you'll see him in his speech really talk about th resilience of the american people. he's really going to use this opportunity tonight to lay out something that's been really fundamental to the campaign since the day heot into the race. frankly it's been fundamentalto the way he's approached public life for his entire time in office. which is a belief tht we can unify, that we can come together to get things done. that in fact it's the only way to get things done. so you're going to hear him tonight reawaffirm his belief tt in these divisive times we're living in we can youth. it' unite. it's will be an inspiring message for those looking for leadership at this time in our country. >> w
