on the other hand, donald trump, who put betsy devos in office.the one hand, you have donald trump, who has been rejecting science from day one. rejecting science on this issue of this climate crisis, which is threatening our existence. rejecting science on this virus. and on the other hand, you have joe biden, who embraces science, who will be a leader who says that the public health experts must guide the policy decisions we make on all of these issues that literally threaten the health and well-being of the american people. [applause] so there are very clear choices here. and the bottom line is, i do believe the outcome of this race will, in many ways, be decided by you. north carolina. it will be. [applause] and in that way, the choices and the decisions you are making will impact people around the country. in that way, what you are doing to vote, and vote early, is going to impact people you may never meet and people who may never know your name, but whose lives will forever be changed because of what you are doing. so i am here in north caro

changing what education looks like if we get somebody like elizabeth warren in there instead of betsy devosce to change what criminaljustice looks like if we put mickey mouse in there rather than barr orjeff sessions. you know, we got the ability to change a lot of these judges who are appointed federally by the president throughout the united states, who perpetuate mass incarceration, who perpetuate all the problems with the systems where we know that disparity there, we know what the folks injail look like. we know where they come from. so, those are my hopes for the election. why are you doing this?! until then, this is what must be overcome. before george floyd in 2017, there was muhammad muhaymin here in arizona. the unarmed black man died after being held down by four police officers, one of whom put his knee on his neck, for close to eight minutes. i cannot breathe! no—one was disciplined. and you're only hearing about this case now because of the controversy over george floyd. and it was in this area where he was pinned down and was clearly heard to say, "i can't breathe. " he knows

let me say this to you and to betsy devos: bull.es out there and make sure we know what is going on in this government and our country. this has to stop, and it has to stop right now. what about the rights of americans who are funding those universities and going to them? they have every right and you have every responsibility the make sure we know. >>> well, joining me now, former congress congressman jason chaffetz. also a fox business contributor. jason, great to have you with us. i want to get your reaction, first of all, to this extraordinary report. $6 billion, much of it in anonymous money, going to these universities. i understand they're delighted to have it just like they're delighted to fill up whatever the percentage of their student roster is with international full tuition-paying students, but give us your sense of what's going on and what should be done. >> well, the united states of america owes no privacy concerns to some foreign entity buying their way into institutions that were paid for, supported by pax r taxpay

president, you can't blame betsy devos. no, this is entirely on you. and your absurd executive orders banning racial sensitivity training for all government agencies and contractors. you recently took to twitter to spout your own uninformed take on the order your handlers no doubt prepared for you to sign, claiming that you're banning the indoctrination of, quote, government employees with divisive and harmful sex and race-based ideologies, end of quote. that statement reveals your complete ignorance about what these trainings are for because systemic racism and sexism ensures that american adults have already been indoctrinated with harmful sex and race-related ideologies. those of white supremacy and patriarchy and in your second tweet you imply that anyone who doesn't completely embrace your version of america and your own embrace or at least tolerance of white supremacy somehow doesn't love the country. the unfortunate implication is clear. you claim that being anti-racist is anti-american, which means you believe that racism is inherently american

betsy devos was also here. barack obama is also coming to michigan tomorrow.that the former vice president and the former president have appeared together this campaign cycle. jill biden was here in michigan earlier in the week. both sides working very hard for votes already coming in. most of them being dropped off at different clerks' offices or in drop boxes. the state says that some 5 million michiganders will vet in this election, that two-thirds of the vote will be in and those candidates trying to change the minds of people now and who will vote election day. >> miguel marquez reporting. to pennsylvania where mail-in voting has hit a snag in one county. what's the issue? >> reporter: wolf, we have a little bit of a mystery around some missing ballots in butler county, pennsylvania. earlier this week officials said they sent out around 40,000 ballots and just over 21,000 returned. they've received 10,000 phone calls for people saying they applied and haven't received them. people could be calling more than once so they're not sure how many might be missi

just today joe biden's in the date -- the trump kids, tiffany and eric are here, and betsy devos is herepresident was here earlier, the vice president was here. the president will be back here a friday, and president obama and joe biden will hold their first joint appearance here a saturday. people who would have mailed in their ballots normally are now being told to drop them off at places like this, drop boxes across the state. this one in detroit. it is going to be hard fought all the way through to election day. >> i'm bill weir in madison, 1.6 million absentee ballots already in. another quarter million o outstanding, though some may have changed their mind and will show up. the ground game for republicans got more complicated today whether the state gop announced they had been taken by an online phishing scam, with someone with familiarity with how the operation was working made off with $2.3 million and they're cooperating with the fbi. brianna? >> my goodness, the wisconsin governor has warned critical staffing shortages amid a spike in covid cases. what can you tell us? >> well,

today alone, jill biden, tiffany trump, eric trump, betsy devos, those last three for the president.resident was here earlier in the week, the vice president was here yesterday. the president is back on friday. then barack obama and joe biden having the first event together in michigan on saturday. if you want to get your vote in here, it is no longer safe to mail it in says officials here. this is the way to do it. drop boxes across the state. put that ballot in. officials expect the vast majority, two-thirds of votes to be in by election day. >> reporter: kyung lah in phoenix, arizona. we are getting a week at the early vote count. i am in maricopa county elections department. what you're looking at here, one of the many machines that are scanning the early vote. 1.3 million votes already processed. 2.1 million have been requested. that's 60% of early ballots that have been processed that were requested. who are these folks here? they are the adjudicators. each team is made up of a democrat and republican. if there's a ballot that's unclear, they are the ones that visually determin

. >> education secretary betsy devos said yesterday it is not the department of education's job to trackening plans. i would think that attitude might make your job more difficult. as a parent, i would love to know what works in some schools and some states and what has not worked. i assume you would as well. is the department of education failing here? >> we need a lot i believe that not receiving the guidance especially at the local level it really puts us in a very tough situation because we are now forced to make these decisions in a vacuum and i think the u.s. department of ed could provide guidance and resources and us to deal with this pandemic and the needs of our students. >> i'm sure you've looked into every possible option. i know you want to have the schools open. simulation found open windows and glass desk shields and hand hygiene and, obviously, masks could dramatically reduce the risk of spreading the virus. why not do that? is that not enough? >> we can do some of those things. i think the bigger issue is the capacity, the building capacity. trying to have or meet the cd

another super pac, betsy devos' family has a major super pac dumping in money.e dumping in record amounts of money trying to beat me in these last few weeks because they know if i don't hold this seat, it's maybe difficult for us to take the majority in the u.s. senate. so certainly this is a key battleground state, and michigan will go down to the wire. poll numbers tighten as we saw in 2016. it will likely happen again, which is why we have to be fighting every single day. >> democratic senator gary peters of michigan. senator, appreciate your time this evening. thank you very much. >> great to be with you. thank you. >>> coming up, what does the gop's future look like with the rise of never-trumpers and republicans who say they no longer recognize their party? we'll discuss it with former rnc chairman michael steele. >>> plus we'll take a look at the questions that you would ask the vice presidential candidates ahead of wednesday's debate, assuming that the debate happens. >>> but first, i know what's going to happen next, the headlines with richard lui. >>>

betsy devos? she's going to be rich. she's already rich.th, quick question -- >> she's already rich. kennedy: how happy are you tonight that you're not jeffrey cuban? [laughter] >> oh, my god. i am wearing pants. you can't really tell here. yeah, too bin is now a verb officially, and and we should all not be multitasking. let's focus on the task at hand and get it done. the thing about trump that's hard for him, sorry for the language, is that 2016 -- [laughter] you can't repeat that. he was the outsider. he was the brick that we threw through a window. he can't be the brick anymore. he's the window. kennedy: all in all, he's just another brick in the window. panel returns later, so much more to discuss. in fact, the first -- the final presidential debate is scheduled for this thursday. the trump campaign spokesperson says they're already raising a ruckus. today bill stepian sent a letter to the commission on presidential debates, or as he's calling them, the biden debate commission, urging them to make foreign policy a focus. and the presi

our great lakes, whether we're talking about supporting our schools and turning us away from the betsy devosh care. these are the type of issues that are on the ballot, and this is why so many of us are stepping up to run across the country. so you might have a couple roadblocks in the way if in fact so many lgbtq candidates do win and are able to gain office in 2020. one of those road blocks could feasibly be the supreme court with the vote happening tomorrow of judge amy coney barrett. how concerned are you with her potential confirmation to the supreme court? >> i'm incredibly concerned. we know that after a rushed process that she has told us that she is hostile to the affordable care act, meaning that coverage for pre-existing conditions are on the line, just days after this election. and i'm running against someone who voted to take away coverage for pre-existing conditions 12 times. we know that choice is on the ballot. she doesn't believe that roe is settled law. that means that our reproductive freedom is on the line. she has clearly used hostile language towards lgbtq folks which m

if they're not supporting trump -- >> if you're not running against donald trump or betsy devos. >> jameslancing his support for the president with a pledge for independence. >> we have a health care law right now that protects people with pre-existing conditions and the republican administration in charge at the moment is trying to -- >> i'm not the republican administration. i'm saying emphatically that we must not repeal coverage and protections for our seniors and people with pre-existing conditions. >> reporter: a race to the finish less than two weeks to go. and the james campaign declined our request for an interview. you see some of the ballot drop-offs behind me, 1.7 million people in this state have already voted. >> shaq brewster, good to see you. >> joined by debbie stabenow. i'm sure you watched shaq's package along with all of us. you actually beat john james but a very small margin back in 2018. your colleague, senator gary peters is up against him as well. the polls are saying this race is very tight. what advice do you have for senator peters right now? >> yasmin, first o

today alone, you have joe biden in town, eric and tiffany trump, betsy devos in town. the president has been here once this week. the vice president was here yesterday. the president will be back friday, tomorrow. and joe biden and barack obama will hold an event here saturday. the first time they hold an event in michigan together. if you want to get your vote in, officials say, this is the way to do it. drop off the absentee mail in vote now at a drop box across the state or county clerk. that's the best way to get it in. they expect 5 million to vote in this election. they expect two-thirds of those votes to be in by election day. another hard fought state, wisconsin, where we find our colleague, bill weir. bill? >> reporter: migel, breaking news from wisconsin comes from the republican party who says that someone with knowledge of the campaigns inner workings hacked into the system using a fishing scam, stole $2.3 million. they're working with the fbi, says the statement. both candidates come here tomorrow, a state on fire with covid-19. another 3800 new cases, 45

the first thing i would do is hold betsy devos accountable. we have a program already in people of they cow was dead but 70% of the applicants are denied. i would be jumping up and down in the senate right now finding out why that is. why do we have a program where 90% of the applicant's are denied? we need nevers a pre-k. maybe it is because i'm the only mom appear but if we had more moms in the senate, we would have universal pre-k yesterday. fore is 1.2 billion dollars kentucky schools sitting on his desk right now. they have been sitting there for six months. he is not interested in helping schools and public education. >> we will move on. 502018, a dozen of the top force counties were in eastern kentucky. u.k. student is asking. here is the coal question, how would you address the losses left behind from the dwindling coal industry that feels more in helping and -- communities? we begin with lt. col. mcgrath. recognize thath: six years ago, senator mcconnell sat here and said you have to vote for me. all of your coal jobs will come back.

the first thing i would do is hold betsy devos accountable. because we have a program already in place to relieve people of their college debt, but 90% of the applicants are denied. i would be jumping up and down in the senate right now finding out why that is. why do we have a program where 90% of the applicants are denied? we need universal pre-k. maybe it is because i'm the only mom up here, but if we had more moms in the senate, we would have universal pre-k yesterday. there is 1.2 billion dollars for kentucky schools sitting on his desk right now. they have been sitting there for six months. he is not interested in helping schools and public education. bill: unless there is a need to respond we will move on. , in 2018, a dozen of the top 50 force counties were in eastern kentucky. a u.k. student is asking here is , the coal question, how would you address the losses left behind from the dwindling coal industry that feels more -- that builds more sustainable and healthy communities? we begin with lt. col. mcgrath. lt. col. mcgrath: recogni

educational secretary betsy devos responded by saying quote, you should not anticipate such waivers beingnded against, referring to waived last school year but not this score you. do you agree with the decision secretary devos, and second, then very well for congress students in school systems having to deal with such requirements especially when your school districts like in my listing every hancock county which is still our virtual? >> that was a great question. first let me think atlanta press club and gpb and all the viewers for two nights event. it's a very special time in a very special event and in a representative democracy. my moment of her school teachers, the best decision made by the local parents come schoolteacher, principals and administrators. i believe that school choice, a child's education should not be limited to the economic circumstances of their community. let me just bracket what we're going here tonight in just a minute. jon ossoff is desperate. you will say anything to hide his radical socialist agenda. he wants to defund the police and once open borders come san

i also have another superpac betsy devos's family has started a super pac just against me.in millions of dollars as well. it's a massive attempt to try to take this state. as you know, we have a very real shot to take the majority in the senate, but it's narrow, and if we lose michigan, that gets a whole lot more complicated, and the fact that donald trump is still in here campaigning, vice president pence is in here campaigning. we'll have our presidential campaigns, michigan is a battleground. we have to remember where the polls are right now similar to where hillary clinton was and we know that michigan's a complicated place. that we've got to run right through the tape and given the massive amount of money the republicans are pouring against me right now, we definitely have a real race on our hands. we're going to run hard. we're going to win, but it's going to take us all coming together. >> you are an industrial state. you are a state that relies on trade a great deal. these are appeals that donald trump has made. and he actually made them relatively successfully in a

that was broken by the vice president until betsy devos in early 2017.e pence has broken several other ties regarding executive branch nominees since it had never happened with the supreme court nominee, but he is not even going to come just to preside over the vote. his vote was not needed two years ago when they confirmed brett kavanaugh. they did bring him in and he sat there over the vote and announced the vote total, but don't forget that he has had several aides test positive for coronavirus and there has been concern expressed certainly by democrats about the safety protocols. they wrote a letter, democratic leaders in the senate, to mike pence, discouraging him from coming. saying look, we are worried about doing this with safety and health protocols anyway and we are really concerned if you are going to come up here so he's not going to come to capitol hill. they will vote here soon. we are waiting for mitch mcconnell to wrap up and as i said last time, timing and the senate, it never works out just the way you think. we are pushing 8:00. if the

betsy devos said new protections for those accused of campus sexual harassment and assault, which is may discourage victims from coming forward. >> reviewing policies of deadline is vital in helping administrators in schools and colleges to stronger responses to sexual assaults. and the measures are taken to prevent assaults from happening on campus. >> the report will be considered tumor at the county board of supervisors or meeting. >>> a kidnapping and sexual assault at the bay fair stations and linda pickett happened just after midnight and set up pick said the victim was taken and assaulted and robbed before getting away. sober arrests have been made. b.a.r.t. police say the current rate of crime is surprisingly high considering the low number of riders. but the agencies hiring more officers and this week the board plans to discuss doubling the unarmed ambassador program. a virtual town hall meeting will be held by san francisco police this afternoon about the recent death of a man who was shot by a police officer. october 10, officers responded to reports of an attempted carjac

i have the devos family, betsy devos' family has a super pac pumping in money against me so i'm beingbarded by negative, false ads trying to a move this race at the very end. but we're confident we'll fight to tend but clearly it's a battle right to the end. >> yeah. the president obviously -- the chant of the lock her up for the michigan governor is disturbing. i think that can be universally thought, i hope. do you think that the president is riling up sort of forces against democrats at this point or is there a diversity in michigan that, you know, has to be straightened out or reckoned with on election day? >> there's definitely a diversity in michigan. we are a very diverse state. some of the folks you have seen engaged in some of these actions are real minority of folks in the state. i think most people remember the scenes from the capitol building where you had folks with weapons in the capitol building. our state is a very broad state, but clearly when you have statements made by the president, liberate michigan and you heard the chants when he was in the state here recently a

exceptionalism, which are great but we need, we need a little bit more than that i mean the other day, betsy devos loan forgiveness program had their claims denied. the process has not been transparent t affects a lot of public employees and people working the non-profit sector. so we need just a little bit more of a plan as well as how to get through the pandemic which, frankly ever since fauci left i just have not seen. will: fauci is still there to be clear. he is still working with the administration. >> he is not in the inner circle is what i meant. will: christopher, let me go back to you you're still undecided. did the debates help you at all helping you make up your mind. >> that first debate made me lean left. trump was a clown for tv on three hours. this last debate, showed a lot more civility, self-control, poise. policywise i thought they didn't move the needle policy wise in the debate. it made me go back to leaning trump. will: debates are over. kaitlin, go back to you. for all three quickly, what is left to change your vote? what moves you away from being undecided kaitlin. only 30

educators, unions, parents or the school system, but with president trump, secretary of education betsy devos, and a federal government that has no plan for fighting this horrible pandemic. that's why it's so extremely important to vote yes on proposition 15 for schools and communities first, and for proposition j, school funding. we are fully committed to supporting our students and working with the district, parents, community members and students in any and every way we can. thank you. >> thank you. hello, jonathan. >> yes. >> can you hear me? >> go ahead. >> unconscionable we are five hours into a meeting seven months into distance learning before seeing the first reopening dashboard. as the mayor said, this should be your first, second and third job. you talked the talk of social justice but don't walk the walk. we don't fix structural in equity by renaming buildings, disadvantaged and vulnerable students cannot attend and prioritizing similar actions while the school day is 90 minutes on zoom. you are barely a third of the way to bring back 4-year-olds, much less all elementary, middle
