there. >> john: chris stirewalt, how does this play out for 60 days like in portland?tions that have gone on for days but not two months. >> yeah, this is something different and this reminds me of occupy wall street where you just sort of half -- it keeps going. if it's a self-perpetuating thing. these are not the black lives matter's of protesters who came out in the wake, in the beginning of this. these were employed people with families and lives and jobs and everything who wanted to make their message heard. if not what you have are a lot of professional protesters and agitators and i'm sure that there are people as mollie talked about the nt file, i'm sure that they are people from, you know, radical right to groups that are coming and looking for this sucking chest wound for a city. they've got to get it under control because as mollie points out, the folks even who are quite the democratic and level and look at this and say i can't take it anymore and you've got to do something different. >> john: jeff, speaking of ntfs, jerry nadler asked about that today and

what we do know, >> sandra: chris stirewalt with this, chris?an has been wrong more than a trailer park psychic, not like this guy is, he is goofy. so that's not anything. i understand that congressman jordan is very angry and what he sees his partisan democrats, and that's all fine and good for the members of congress who don't do anything, and that's fine. it's an incredibly broad authority, that he was impervious to even the investigation. something for everybody. it's a 7-2 decision, and they get something and so do the people concerned about the president being harassed by congress over political aims. the last thing, i am reminded and i don't know whether incompetence explains all of it but it explains most of us it. democrats executing their impeachment of the president, they decided they did not have time for the real thing but they didn't feel like they could get away with not impeaching the president. they only kind of do it, and their botch of that, their mishandling of that very sacred duty ends up with them trying to do a make good

. >> julie: with me now is fox's politics editor chris stirewalt. thank you for coming on.to see you. >> happy friday. >> julie: was congress in luis' funeral the appropriate time and place for former president obama to lay into president trump? what did you make of obama's remarks? >> well, i mean, i know john lewis would have loved it. he would have thought that was awesome, because that was the cause of his life. so i think criticisms from republicans on this one fall a little flat, because obviously it's not disrespectful to lewis if lewis would have loved it. i guarantee you, lewis would have loved it. whether or not that is an issue, or these are issues that obama can take beyond that space, i don't know. doubtful. certainly within that space he had the audience -- he had the right message for the right audience at the right time, i'm sure. >> julie: yeah. as you know, former president obama didn't exactly rush to endorse joe biden right out the gate when biden was up against olives that come with a huge field of other democratic presidential contenders. it leads me t

we will bring chris stirewalt back in on reaction with this. the president floating delaying direction on this, your reaction? >> on the one hand of course you take it neither seriously or literally. i think there's probably a lot of truth in what john says, that it's just lumbering and he's either trying to provoke a reaction. and abraham lincoln was reelected during the civil war. we stage of the elections during the second world war and we staged elections during other pandemics and we have done it all. and he was totally out of character it sort of a flagrant expression of his current weakness. they would never suggest anything like that. that's his weak position in the polls. >> trace: trace gallagher here. i'm curious because i was picking up on what sandra and john roberts were saying, and they were saying exactly what john roberts were saying that that's a proper answer because you don't know what's going to happen. if you have an election it comes down to the wire, you can't say of course i'll do accept whatever the decision is because

for more on all of this, let's bring in fox's politics editor chris stirewalt. chris, great to see you. >> howdy, ma'am. >> julie: all right, howdy to you. what can you get from all of this? >> well, it depends on what happened. we hate to let a little thing like fact get in the way of people's political grandstanding and opportunism, but it will matter, where u.s. service members killed by those who got paid by the russians. this has been woefully mishandled. there is no question that, from penn to post on this, you can blame "the new york times," you can blame lucy to tomei for politicizing it, but you have to blame the administration for the way it's handled this , and the president's peculiar response, which the response you expect is outraged. if it's true there will be consequent this. right now vladimir putin is getting called desperate for life with constitutional changes and this would be a serious crackdown on russia. the fact that he called it a hoax and all this does sit oddly. but all of this doesn't matter as much as did it happen, how did it happen

fox news politics editor chris stirewalt joins us on that.y, another dramatic escalation in the tensions with china after the u.s. shut down the chinese consulate in houston. why the f.b.i. is looking into another chinese consulate in san francisco. >> we are sending out clear expectations for how the chinese communist party is going to behave. when they don't we're going to take actions to protect the american people. that's how much veteran homeowners can save every year by using their va benefits to refinance at newday. record low rates have dropped to new all time lows. with the va streamline refi there's no appraisal, no income verification, and no money out of pocket. one call can save you $3000 a year. inflammation in your eye might be to blame.ck, f2 looks like a great day for achy, burning eyes over-the-counter eye drops typically work by lubricating your eyes and may provide temporary relief. ha! these drops probably won't touch me. xiidra works differently, targeting inflammation that can cause dry eye disease. what is that? xiidra

i want to bring in our team, former dnc chair donna brazile and chris stirewalt. ng, it's hump day. we need you to get us over the hump. that's why you're here. chris, how did he do yesterday? >> you know, biden is always like watching a plane with no landing gear. he did okay. the thing about biden, he has playing defense. he doesn't want to make any mistakes. he was knitting together those sentences like your grandmother's card again each time he was talking. he was being very careful. i think he was fine. he got very easy treatment, but i think he did fine. >> bill: what was your favorite question, what keeps you up at night or can you get america on the same page? those were real questions. >> i thought he did very well. it was good to see the vice president. some of us see him a lot because we are on virtual phone calls, zoom calls. we get an opportunity to hear his voice, conference calls. he's had several what i like to call outreach efforts into the states. he has held forums. one might say that outside of my close personal friends and family, i see joe bid

stoddard, editor of real clear politics, chris stirewalt editor here at fox news.d the president went with the mass to eat and do you think that there's been political pressure or do you think something changed? >> i think clearly, the president realized that it's an important issue and i kind of stumble over this idea that somehow the president should issue a federal mandate requiring masks. i don't know that people would necessarily obey such a federal order and it seems to be making a whole lot more sense that government and local officials would be in a far better position to make such a requirement. i mean, my goodness, president trump tries to deal with the rioting, looting, burning police stations around the country and he gets into trouble for that. i don't know, so i just i sort of have a bit of a hang up on the notion that we are going to blame president trump for the federal mandates but the issue of the order. >> bret: the tweening of the picture wearing a mask and it seems like he's obviously more comfortable with that currently that he was previously.

let's bring in the pet panel, giles lane writer for "the washington post," mollie hemmingway, chris stirewalteekend? >> i think the speech was a lot of white americans were desperate to hear. the founding principles of her heroes and how we improved over time. it was something that had had been noticeably lacking in our discord from the political leaders. what significant on the about the speech and its importance were there for the campaign message too for the president, this is the type of message that resonates with a lot of people. if were sold site by seeing what's happening in the streets in the cities nationwide with the bible into riots and protests, nobody standing up for america were heroes. i think the media responded to the speech so negatively. not with any news writings and with unbridled opinion writing. rewriting what he said and claiming he was talking about confederates or that when he is explicitly condemned racism and when he mentioned people none of whom who had anything to do with the confederate. seeing the media resort to a straight outline, i can show something about

it chris stirewalt, editor and fox news buried him saying repeatedly, kids have to go back to classroomseally said how that's going to look if a state decides like california did today it's not going to happen. >> ari fleischer. exactly, it's a big gap right now between the president and other officials saying it's up to an impracticality on the ground about the district making that happen. in some cases it becomes cases that tick upwards and states in other cases it's a school district saying they're not sure what best practices are right now. we see some school districts taking some innovative steps about moving classrooms outside and thinking about alternating schedules and you have other school districts, teachers and parents talking saying they're really in the dark about how this can happen. particularly, how it can happen quickly and right now the situation where some school districts are expected to go back in a matter of weeks. if there is no real idea how they're going to do that and a lot of the guidance that they are getting from the federal government right now is basically

political team donna brazile, the chair of the democratic committee and fox news contributor, chris stirewaltesday midway come take him here we go now. how does $8 trillion sound in these times, mr. stirewalt? >> well, nobody cares about death or attempts to him anymore so i don't know maybe it doesn't matter. both parties commit is like a long plume of money when you listen to both of these sides. and i guess they are all relieved that nobody cares about 20 to trillion dollar debt. so i guess that is good. for biden but on the other hand tax increases even one that targets, generally popular, still can be tied to economic slow down, which is something that the train campaign will make a out of. >> bill: $8 trillion is a lot of taxes, donna, how are you going to sell it? take a first of all as you all know the current deficit fiscal year $2.7 trillion. so when we talk trillions, let's remember we are in a huge deficit right now not just because of the pandemic, which you can go back to the tax is paid for. what cbo is projecting right now, if we do nothing and we don't continue to try to make

analysis from chris stirewalt, next. ♪ >> throughout this crisis, donald trump has been almost singularlyused on the stock market. the dow, and nasdaq. not you, not your families. we must reward work as much as we rewarded wealth. but now we just reward excessive wealth. >> harris: joe biden promising to help working families, not wealthy investors, if elected in november. the present of democratic nominee is laying out his own economic plans as he looks to confront president trump on his strongest polling issue. however, president trump claims biden $700 billion proposal may makes his america first agenda, which the biden campaign is dismissing. watch. >> he is copping what i've done, but the differences he can't do it, and he knows he's not doing that. he can't do it because he is raising taxes way too much. he is raising everybody's taxes. he's also putting tremendous amounts of regulations back on, and those two things are two primary reasons that i created the greatest economy we've ever had. >> harris: let's go to the president live, his remarks now from doral, florida, after gettin

donna brazile, chris stirewalt. it we might get interrupted.we don't because we brought you to go together for a very good reason. it is wednesday, after all. the president has said that there has never been a time where candidates were so different. >> he is absolutely right. still, you know how much i love you. that was not a press conference. that was our rally. he was rambling. he was incoherent. he was out of focus. he bounced the so-called press conference to talk about china, and then it transformed into a rally within 2 minutes. he mentioned joe biden 30 times. so look. i think the president is trying to find something that sticks. he is trying to find something to reconnect with the american people, but if that was his big shot at it yesterday, he can do better -- >> bill: i have heard that. chris, back to the point. there has never been a time when few candidates were so differe different. >> i don't know. i mean, certainly, they are about the same age. they are from about the same part of the country. they are both appealing to the b

chris stirewalt is joining us now. always good to start off morning with you. she says this. despite the breathless coverage each new trump attack gets this endless rotation of the same defunct smear is the best product of strategic genius. it's a sign of myopia and desperation as each successive attempt backfires. so what do you think of the biden camp's claims of the attacks are backfiring right onto him? >> i mean what would we expect him to say. they've got us, they are killing us here. i suppose after they finish this memo, they left it dangling on windowsills in newsrooms best in hopes that someone would come along and say, biden says he's really concerned about his attacks. i would say more significantly, trump hasn't been very good at attacking biden but he's been too busy doing this other thing. this whole other weird other thing that is seemingly unrelated to try to win the election. he's letting biden off the hook. because trump continues to keep the focus on himself with all of these outrages and all of these things. >> sandra: trump campaign firing back in a stat
