george w. bush and paul ryan, all of them declining to take part in the festivities.tead, you'll see new faces like alice johnson. of course she was previously incarcerated and pardoned by the president at the behest of kim kardashian west. other folks like the mccloskey's of st. louis and the former covington, kentucky, high school student all expected to take part. a bit of a cavalcade of nonpoliticos, outsiders if you will. all there to back the ultimate insider, that of course being the sitting president of the united states. a lot of topics they will get to we suspect including mail-in balloting, something the president will likely lead to coronavirus spending bill, possible bill will be another topic. as you probably saw on saturday, the house voted to give the post office $25 billion to assist in what could be a deluge of mail-in ballots. there were more than two dozen republicans that actually joined ranks with the house speaker, nancy pelosi and the democrats. but there is one other topic that you probably didn't hear a lot about and that is a meeting that di

fox news not to expect anything like that this week from the rnce gone are mitt romney, george w bush and paul ryanclining to take part in the festivities. instead you'll see new faces like alice johnson, she was previously incarcerated, then pardoned by the president at the behest of kim kardashian west. the mccloskys of saint lewis and nick sandmann all expected to take part, non politicos, outsiders, if you will, all there to back the sitting president of the united states. a lot of topics they will get to we suspect, chris, including mail-in balloting, something the president said will likely lead to mail fraud. we also know that the coronavirus spending bill, a possible bill will be another topic. as you probably saw on saturday, the house voted to give the post office $25 billion to assist in what could be a deluge of mail-in ballots. more than two dozens republicans joined ranks with the house speaker nancy pelosi and the democrats. there is one other topic you probably didn't hear a lot about and that is a meeting that didn't happen with the white house chief of staff, mark meadows, he trie

that's extraordinary now they've seen the creative genius of ryan and george and others and our team with aviation gin. what the world probably hasn't seen is that ryan has an unbelievable work ethic, roll your sleeves up, in the trenches >> text back and tell him to join you next time you come on closing bell quick final question aside from the deal about trends you've seen in 2020 and during lockdown have we seen a particular interest in consumers when they do decide to drink at home in liquor as opposed to other things are they getting more inventive and branching out from what would have been their typical drink? >> i think that's the case we've seen it with aviation. gin is huge around the world there's a big tailwind with gin in the u.s we're a less dry gin i think whether you love gin, you'll love aviation whether you're trying gin for the first time and the same is true for the rest of our brands we had some of our best months ever in terms of sales we have a brand that's primarily mescal it's millennial driven and people are taking it home and experimenting. we've seen a lot

. >> that to george busch and white house correspondent april ryan. to start with you. you're familiar with thinking of senate majority leader mitch mcconnell. i'm curious back in 2013 when the government was shut down, if negotiation hs fallen through between democrats and republicans and president obama at the time signed executive actions as far reaching as these, what do you think mitch mcconnell might have said? >> hard to say the situation is different. barack obama did sign executive actions during his presidency. so i think every situation is different. and i think democrats don't like it when republicans do it. i think the real question is here has the president called them to bring them back to the table or are they hard set on their position. which appears to be that it's better politically for them to do nothing. they are banking on people blaming republicans for inaction and them being a able to use that at the ballot box. what they did on police reform, you have hundreds of thousands of people marching in american cities asking for polic

i also remember when he invited the chairman of the house budge committee paul ryan to a speech at georgeashington university and proceeded to decry the republican budget proposals as un-american. tonight he used that language t can condemn president trump, bu there is a little bit of a background there, a little bit of a back story. and then tonight he said, all tripp wants to do is enrich themselves and their supporters he's it advocating candidate wh has as a name hunter and a brother named james who had bot gotten into a little trouble trading on the name of joe biden , so at historic moment tonight. i thought it was a pedestrian speech, maybe it was that she had to give it in that empty room, but i thought the video was great her opening remarks about family were great, but i think it was pretty pedestrian after that. >> we heard former president obama talk about black lives matter, some of that was very visible throughout the presentation tonight about diversity and black lives matter . other parts of it were kind of hidden behind elizabeth warren we notice the black letters in the

ryan nobles, thank you. >>> ana navarra, and former special assistant to president george w. bush. scott, before we dig into the rnc, i want to ask about this remarkable audio from the president's sister. this was secretly recorded, as we mentioned, by president trump's niece mary. what's your react to hearing this kind of language? >> look, i i think the president will be elected, or not, by his behavior. what surreptitiously records another relative because she's unhappy about an ink hairance. frankly i find this whole thing -- i don't want to get into the matter of a family matter, but i think it's reprehensib reprehensible. >> i think he's going to be by the way, donald trump has never tried to run on being a nice person. joe biden is trying to run that contrast, which plays into the democratic frame. what you get out of the republicans i think is a policy frame. i'm not certain it will have a huge impact on the outcome of the election. >> ana, if the "access hollywood" recording didn't matter, will this? >> i think it could be something that influences and affects the way that

ryan reynolds has become the latest to cash in, his gin brand was bought. so this follows georgeoney and david beckham who struck deals in the past. >> seems everyone in hollywood gets into the liquor business at one point or another. thank you so much julianna tatelbaum, live for us from london. >>> joining me now with a look at axios a.m., political reporter for axios, hans nichols. good morning to you. >> good morning. >> great to see you this morning. give us axios' 1 big thing today. >> 1 big thing is this brutal campaign ad the trump campaign is putting out this morning questioning joe biden's mental faculties. last night we had michelle obama saying when they go low we go high, this is the trump campaign going low. there's always been a debate inside the trump campaign and the white house as well on how strongly to question biden's mental faculties because they didn't want to alienate seniors. they made the decision, they're going there. i think a lot of democrats will cry foul on this, but it shows how far the trump campaign is willing to go to win the election. you talk

ryan tannehill of the tennessee titans, matt stafford of the detroit lions. how can anyone look at it and dismiss it as political. what you get coming from, and this is important, george w. bush wouldn't have responded this way. barak obama would haven't responded this way. despite their other political differences they were able to have empathy and understanding of people besides those that are part of the base. instead what we get here is a dismissive and an oppositional stance. distinctions could be made. you could say depending where you fall on the political spectrum, you could say most cops are good cops but whatever fractions are not they must be weeded out. not just because of the instances that we are looking at now but it resonates. it goes back century state use of power against african-americans. you can make the distinction and still support good cops and make the valid distinction between the cause of black lives matter and the political organization black lives matter whose motivation and motivations and agenda could rightly be criticized or questioned and could certainly decry as joe biden did yesterday, rioting, looting and vandalism, not just because

ryan reynolds. his brand of gin called aviation gin, it also bought, i don't know if you remember, george clooney hasemium drinks. aviation gin actually doubled their u.s. sales to $40 million last year. it's a premium brand but is doing well. what i whispered was just one drink because i sent that article about the federal recommendations to my husband. stuart: we heard you whisper. okay. by the way, george clooney, he made hundreds, plural, hundreds of millions of dollars on his, what was it, tequila he had out there? lauren: great tequila. stuart: tequila. that's right. just one drink. tell your husband, don't forget. all right. >>> president trump joins tiktok rival triller this weekend. he jumped ship. his first video went viral, had millions of views. we have the co-founder of triller right after this. i'm a performer. -always have been. -and always will be. never letting anything get in my way. not the doubts, distractions, or voice in my head. and certainly not arthritis. new voltaren provides powerful arthritis pain relief to help me keep moving. and it can help you too. feel the joy of move

george w. bush. what do you think? >> they can be everything and certainly the expectations for the president are high because joe biden did well in his last debate when he went up against paul ryank he won that debate. it has been a while since then. he is 77 years old. he does make gaffs, he does stammer. the debates could be a complete game-changer. we'll see four debates at least. see the vp and three presidential. they will be slugfests. it will get ugly. trump needs to win those debates, period. neil: well-put, my friend, always enjoy catching up with you, enjoy learning something. bob cusack "the hill" editor-in-chief. for those joining us right now, sometimes you get bold-faced names who test positive for the virus. today it startling news out of ohio. that the governor, mike dewine, tested positive for the virus. the governor considered by both parties to be among the more prescient performers, i'm looking at seriousness of the virus trying to lock things down ahead of anybody, slowly unwinding in the state, also ahead of anybody. right now he has got it too. more after this. find your keys. find your get-up-and-go. find pants that aren't sweats. find your friends. find
