how can the gop be anything but's policy? without addressing issues that strike at the very heart of the gop has a post for so long? where can he go? it seems he is painted into a corner. >> you are absolutely right. avenue policy agenda were governing parities they don't know how these ideas are in practice but in general science tell us parties change voters tell them they have to do they figure if the goal is to win elections then everything is fine. but when they start losing then it changes have to say we are defeated at the ballot box so that expectation is a part of this in the 2020 elections i think they will it will be a reckoning moment and they will have to decide what kind of party will it be? what kind of agenda what kind of solutions? with that with as opposed policy party isn't working in a meaningful way and every policy issue what do we do about it? the problem. >> i love your optimism. [laughter] but it's like you are being obama talking policy the root of so much of this government is the problem and govern

that was passed on the house, the gop wants something slightly smaller. do you believe this maybe oddly changes the calculus and makes it more likely the gop will cave >> i do think that this will be the case i think tomorrow morning, if you look at how this plan was passed it was passed by house democrats in a nonpartisan way there was not a lot of support for this that was when they left the session, friday morning, you are going into a brand-new reality where you have now the opportunity to look like a hero or to cause the markets to fall even more. i'm not sure that senate is quite ready to shoulder that full responsibility. i actually think it changes. >> by how much, do you know?

ago before the election, we wanted to get an update on what republican groups are doing to elect more gopen to congress. a few weeks ago, we got an update on the democratic side from the leaders on emma's lease -- emily's list, and we want to hear from women on the others of the aisle. from wpi,o women julie conway, executive director of v.i.e.w. pac, and rebecca schuller, executive director of women for -- winning for women pac. thank you to both for being here. before we start, i want to let everyone know that we will save some time for questions. at the bottom of your skin, you -- screen, will notice the button to ask questions. please feel free to do that during our discussion. if you miss any of the discussion or you want to share with your friends, a replay will be available at the same link podcast link you used to register. rebecca, welcome. with less than two weeks to go, let's rewind the clock a bit to 2018. the 2018 midterms were not good year for republican women. of the 36 new women elected to the house, only one was a republican. the total number of republican women in the h

sources, we should point out the gop is driving the bus, if mitch mcconnell will agree to somethingpelosi wants is a lot more spending, this thing would get done, what we understand as of now this thing is not happening, it's been described as bogged down, the gop side still remains opposed to any massive spending plan along the line that pelosi wants including money given to states, gop senators believe why should we give bailout money to new york after they have been releasing it for years, bill de blasio is not affect an mayor of new york city facing massive problems because of the pandem pandemic. cheryl: moody has downgraded us, our credit rating, shocker. >> moody grounded in new york city, i assume that's the case, they're not far above junk as municipality, keep that in mind if you own new york city general obligation or new york city under the other debt they have other funding mechanisms for their bonds, the odds are increasing that any new stimulus, this is what were hearing from gop sources, any stimulus will come after the election, if this is part of your trade i will

the gop has set up some collection sites which are now being referred to as an official drop boxes of those some of these have been labeled as official drop boxes by the gop and california secretary of state says this is illegal and they have until thursday to remove the ice. it's not uncommon for a county to place official ballot drop-off boxes throughout its jurisdiction. several counties in the bay area doing like these in san mateo county. but over the weekend state officials discovered an official drop-off boxes like this one in orange county were popping up. now california's republican party has said they own the boxes and now the state has issued a cease and desist order giving the cal gop until thursday to remove them an official and authorized drop boxes. >>those that will confidence potentially of that ballot return option to multiple actions. that california voters get these not to rise unofficial top boxes are not allowed by state law and a late afternoon news conference california secretary of state was joined by the attorney general urging the state gop to comply with th

addressing issues that sort of strike at the very heart of what the gop has opposed for so long? where can it go? it is painted in a corner it seems to me. >> i think you're right. they have fact that sells in a position which they have no policy agenda, no company priorities. they don't know how they want to pursue any of these ideas in practice. i think a lot about parties like an sinister in general political science tells us parties change when voters tell them they have to. so long as the parties are winning, they have no incentive to change. if our goal is to win elections and be in power anywhere winnie, and everything is fine. but when parties started losing, incentives change. those are the moments in which parties have to take stock and say wait a minute, we've been handed defeat at the ballot box, the electorate isn't buying what we're selling. what are we going to do about it? my hope and expectation is if trump is poorly, i think he will, i think the party will find itself at a crossroads, a reckoning moment and he will have to decide what kind of party is going to b

we are back with house gop leader kevin mccarthy and congressman devon nunes. the ranking member on the house intelligence committee he is also the author of the new book "countdown to socialism" and i know devon nunes, you've talked about social media in this book, but congressman mccarthy i want to start with you on this , in this block because you have been talking about social media, censoring information, shutting down gop accounts for a long time. now we're looking at the potential for new legislation. talk to me where that stands because twitter and facebook ceo 's have been subpoenaed in the senate because they tried to hide this hunter biden story. >> well, big tech should be ashamed of how this so clearly trying to aid the joe biden campaign and this is correct, maria. this is something we've worked up for a long time. just so your viewers understand the american public desires free speech, so the federal government created a liability protection for tech companies to have a platform like facebook and twitter for liability protection where they cannot

but you've got to get gop senators and it's a mixed bag out there to get enough of them.ere's the issue, i think, from their standpoint at least the way it's related to me. number one, they are worried about the deficit. we have a deficit debt from what i understand approaching $4 trillion. that, you know, it's probably going to go up from there when all is said and done. number two, some gop senators believe there's money still out there sloshing around from past stimulus bills. the ppp funds, that low interest loan for small businesses fund, has not been depleted. there's still more of that. number three, they believe the economy's improving. how much more debt, bang for the buck are you going to get by doing this. and i think number four, is kind of the big one, even if you pass this plan, the impact of it just from a gdp standpoint and unemployment standpoint is not going to be felt until after the election. so maybe it's better to wait on this thing after the election, because you are spending money on something that may not do much and you are going to get very litt

we need to return to democratic norms violated and broken by the senate gop and this administration.ever action is necessary. - sure. flamethrowers, wood chippers, nunchucks. - or expand the size of the court. - shit on their doorsteps, shit on their neighbor's doorsteps, shit on their neighbor's neighbor's doorstep. - i'm advocating for expanding the size of the court. - i like that. how would one go about expanding the court and shitting on their doorsteps? - if you do the first, you don't need to do the second. you add seats to the supreme court, you restore the essential checks and balances that we need in a democratic system, and that is why i'm focused on "take back the court." - what exactly is "take back the court"? - it's a two-year-old project focused on expanding the size of the u.s. supreme court, and thereby restoring and preserving democracy. - isn't it against one of the long-standing pillars of the democratic party of being total pussies? - i can agree that i have shared the frustration of many. we have to stop reacting as if the sky is falling, but not doing anything

but there's disagreement along partisan lines in that judiciary committee, with the highest ranking gopember, jim jordan, encouraging other republican members not to join the democrat-led report according to several sources out there. jordan might join, though, there was a serious look at these companies when it comes to conservative bias. the gop is also concerned about some of the harsh recommendations that would in their eyes at least hurt startups, competition and ultimately consumers but liz, despite the fact we have apple down 2.25%, we actually lifted from the bottom when we heard that the apple event is slated for next tuesday, october 13th and this is where we are going, and we are expected to get the new 5g iphone, three types you will get, four different sizes or so, and yes, also some of the new devices might include those over the ear airpods we were just talking about, since they have cleared up some of the shelf space to make room for new speakers as well. this is something we have been waiting for. delayed a few weeks as they mentioned on their earnings call at the end o

so i think people were feeling really, really tired of the trump gop -- and the gop on this diseasisbecauseican people are seeing right through and they're saying this particular president is out of touch with the coronavirus pandemic. >> sarah, we're a month out from the election. how does president trump's coronavirus response play with crucial voting blocs like suburban women or seniors for that matter? >> i think he has a tone problem. and importantly with those two groups specifically. a lot of times on the things he says there's a veil of truth to it that a lot of people agree with. don't let the virus control your life, for example. i think most people agree with that. now, for some people they need to be very, very careful and very, very cautious and they can die from it. for most people, 97%, 98%, 99% of most populations, you know, can get sick from it but not perish from it. and so he tends to mix his messaging and it's not nuanced enough. voters are sophisticated. seniors are the most scared. but suburban women have a lot of different pressures on them related to this virus. they

do you believe this maybe oddly changes the calculus and makes it more likely the gop will cave >> io think that this will be the case i think tomorrow morning, if you look at how this plan was passed it was passed by house democrats in a nonpartisan way there was not a lot of support for this that was when they left the session, friday morning, you are going into a brand-new reality where you have now the opportunity to look like a hero or to cause the markets to fall even more. i'm not sure that senate is quite ready to shoulder that full responsibility. i actually think it changes. >> by how much, do you know? >> you know, it is hard to say this was not a very well supported plan in the house. if you judge by that, the senate would have to really swallow their pride to get it done however, i think they could. markets are moving down sliding down more about 410. thank you for joining us >> coming up, more reaction to this breaking news here with the potential impact also the monthly jobs number day. we are back aftethr is >>> welcome back president trump and first lady melania trum

for now our state capitol reporter ashley tpzavala explains the latest in the controversy over the gop unauthorized ballot boxes. >>the charity and confidence in the vote. here in california this the state attorney general and secretary of state say the investigation continues into the california gop unauthorized ballot boxes, the democratic leaders said friday subpoenas have been issued and discussions with the party are ongoing earlier this week sent a cease and desist order for boxes, they say violated state law the republican party said it would not comply despite their rhetoric in you know the republican party has agreed to do is to no longer deployed its is on staff and secured and officials and unauthorized ballot drop boxes but the california republican party says it's made no concession to the democratic leaders claiming the only requested you want to do anything because voters and our supporters. >>despite our efforts to criminal. >>well the democratic leaders say they'll continue collecting information republicans say they'll continue using the boxes how many boxes all of th

he says any unofficial boxes that the gop owns will stay put. he says he's not going to let the secretary of state suppress the vote and that ballot harvest program will continue. so it looks like we might have a legal fight on our hands. dan kerman kron 4 news. >>if you have any problems with voting we would love to hear about it because we will investigate take if you experience a problem email us at voting problems at kron 4 dot com. >>well president trump is back on the campaign trail. he was in florida for his first campaign rally on the road since being diagnosed with covid-19 the president as you can see there stood before a crowd without wearing a mask claiming that he's now immune to covid-19. >>i went through it now they say i'm i'm you i can see i feel so powerful rockets. just i just think guys in the beautiful women every bout just give you big factor is. >>now president also has on his schedule. campaign events in pennsylvania this week along with iowa, north carolina and wisconsin. >>meantime democratic presidential nominee joe bi

stimulus, i've been reading a lot of articles now that the gop will be concentrated on the senate to try to fight against presumably president biden. that would delay any kind of stimulus. guy: take a look at the polls. paul seemed to indicate biden is likely to win the presidency. the polls should always come with caveats, they have been wrong. the focus is on what is happening with the senate. -- there isly to be a whole series of key battles involving high-profile republicans. it is fascinating what is happening with the stimulus story. ofp your antenna up in terms more headlines coming through. it was fascinating listening to nancy pelosi on wolf blitzer last night. ding abused -- being accused of maybe stonewalling. she pushed back on that idea. some in the democratic party

at the gop convention 1876 was going to be in cincinnati and so in those days of course if you wanted to be president he couldn't admit it so you sort of had to act like you are being drafted. john marshall harlan the largely unknown partner of the better-known benjamin berst owen to cincinnati to the gop convention to get his -- to clean the nomination the perfect choice after eight years of scandal in the grant administration. it became clear after a few rounds of voting that he wasn't going to be a loophole it off for his partner benjamin bristow so harlan through ristow's boats to the governor of ohio rutherford b. hayes and amazingly enough right after president hayes was sworn in in march of 1877 it was john marshall harlan, not benjamin bristow who ended up on the supreme court where he served for 30 years with great distinction and was the soul dissenter in plessy versus ferguson, the one member of the supreme court in 1896 the guy rightus with regard to desegregation in public accommodations and that became the majority opinion 58 years later in brown versus order of educatio

the narrative turned to the senate more and how the gop senators who are up for between aligning withresident trump and keeping their seat. how do you see that playing out? >> i was listening to what you were talking about and i could not agree more. you have republicans particularly in the senate and across the country very nervous about these polls. do they want the president to win, absolutely. they show the path to victory is increasingly narrow. they are considering what does it mean not just for their seat in november, which is critically important but also for the gop going forward. be led bying to donald trump by next year or a more fiscally conservative gop in which they would have to depend -- defend agreeing with the white house or the democrats on a larger stimulus bill that maybe some of their more hawkish supporters may want in six months or a year. this is something i think we are seeing play itself out in the republican party. the republican party is skittish. what that means for the party going forward. in: what are the republicans these tight races saying about the f

the gop filed another suit seeking detailed information on the vote counting process. both of those suits are still pending. in north carolina republicans asked the supreme court to block the state from extending the deadline for mail-in ballots. the supreme court declined to take up the case. as long as ballots are mailed by election day they can be counted up to nine days later. while in wisconsin the supreme court agreed with the gop officials that ballots must arrive by 8:00 p.m. on election day to be counted. a lower court ruling had given state officials unto six days. let's bring in ted shaw, a msnbc contributor and serves on the national task force for election crises. we are seeing the lawsuits across the country, republicans challenging the ability of americans to vote by mail, vote early by mail. as somebody who is steeped in the legal process of this country, what is your expectation of how things are going to go on election day? >> well, first, good to be with you. i wish i could say that everyone agrees that we are going to maximize the number of people t

his polls in those years were biassed in favor of the gop candidates by 4 points. if that is the case this time around, even just the average, he would have joe biden ahead in many of the swing states. >> harry, what of this business? you hear it that there's the shy trump voter. it seems at one level illogical because the trump voters i see or watch on television seem very proud to wear trump on their sleeve. nevertheless, there are elections in the past where there was a hidden vote because people are embarrassed to say i'm for that guy. in this instance, portrayed sometimes as racist or xenophobic. might there be something to that? >> look. we can't say for sure that donald trump is going to lose this election. he still has a chance. i wanted to be very, very clear about that but if you look at the nonlive interview polls, the ones done online, done by automated phone, they find joe biden ahead so sure it's possible there's a hidden trump vote but no real proof of it in the pudding. >> some of the polling even when you remove trafalgar, rasmussen and you go with

now the gop says they only xbox's they don't think there's anything wrong with them. but state officials say they are illegal and must be removed. this is an official ballot drop-off box they're scattered across san mateo county and other bay area counties by the registrar of voters in that county. >>this however is not an official drop box nor is this. they've been discovered in la orange and fresno counties the problem here is with starters unknowingly delivering their ballots to an unofficial mislabeled and misrepresented as an official drop they do not know who it is they're surrendering their ballot because the impression they have with the word of this we'll top boxes that they're surrendering to a county official and that's not the case and now california's republican party says they own these collection boxes and authorized an official ballot drop boxes are not permitted by state law in the state of and to misrepresent unofficial boxes as official further misleads voters erodes public trust at a news conference late monday afternoon. the secretary of state and

it's not like the gop is being coy about its efforts. the republican party admitted to putting misleading ballot boxes. theyrecepticles are illegal. california's attorney general and secretary of state say the gop has agreed to comply with the cease and desist order, releasing a statement saying, quote, despite their rhetoric in the press, they will not make available or condone the use of unstaffed, unsecured official ballot drop boxes. this is an important stop in stopping the ballot confusion. americans will not be bullied or intimidated out of voting. you're seeing it in the surge in early voting. you can do it, go out now. the one advantage of the long lines is they can't intimidate you. plan your vote now. we can help. go to nbcnews.com, plan your vote to get started. you put in your zip code, it will tell you exactly how you can vote in your state. you have this right. don't let anybody take it away from you. >>> allegations of voter fraud are at the heart of a new documentary from pbs's "frontline." listen to this. >> voters forc

i don't understand how the gop sees it as a political asset.t's not for the women who left of the work force. black and brown communities who have been affected by covid-19 and um employed. a political asset for whom exactly? the voters will carry this pot polls with them knowing you have done nothing to help them. but did everything to agenda corporations and the supreme court seat. >> you're both involved in this get out vote effort. do you think that the anger we're seeing particularly among women and women of color. even white women who voted on the majority for trump are being called revenge of the does is this a sustainable energy? passed this election. it's a three cycle thing. if you want to get rid of all the people. is it sustainable energy? >> i want to rewind. remember 2018? the blue wave that we saw. the historic turn out. and gained seats in the house. look at the early voting numbers we have. i believe 65 million today have early voted. and working on through election day. this energy is there. i think it's not only on the sustai

the california gop is accepting responsibility.indeed they were putting out the boxes, but they say they don't have plans to stop. they're going to remove the word "official" blatantly disregarding the cease-and-desist off. they have this to say -- the program is a perfect example of what you proudly stated to be permissible just last year. i'm joined by jonathan diaz. the gop in california says it's not going to comply with the cease-and-desist off. how does it play out and what happened to the ballots that go into the unofficial ballot boxes? so there's a fear of what will happen. that's the problem that california election officials are trying to address, by directing the california gop to cease and desist their use of these boxes. there's two sets of california election laws at play here. number one is the ballot drop boxes which in california only election officials are authorized to establish and maintain. that way they can be sure that ballots deposited in the boxes make their way into election offices and are counted on ele

president trump being treated for coronavirus at walter reed medical center and two gop senators, who attended a packed, rose garden ceremony for trump's supreme court nominee, also, revealing they have tested positive for covid-19. let's bring in cnn's congressional correspondent, phil mattingly, and political analyst, carl bernstein. good evening, one and all. both of you. so, phil, breaking news, tonight, regarding north carolina senator thom tillis. what can you tell us about that? but, hang on one second. phil, i have some breaking news for you. i think that you want to get to it, right? from the president of the united states. do you have that? >> do i, personally? i do not have that but i have seen kayleigh mcenany's tweet about the latest update from the -- oh, are you talking about the president's tweet? or the tweet by the doctor? >> no, the president's tweet. i was going to get to you about thom tillis but since it's up, i'll just let you respond. the president says it's going well, i think. thank you all. love. that's the president's latest tweet at 11:30 p.m., this evenin

in 1958, the same thing happened to the gop. dwight eisenhower was president but this was a democratic nation. the gop had one out its welcome, illuminating a lot of potential opposition for the nomination for richard nixon in 1960. one fellows reputation who was was nelson8 rockefeller's. he is the governor of new york. he is energetic and very liberal. he is very wealthy. he wants to be president in 1960. the more he campaigns, he finds the less support in the republican party. by the summer of 1959, he pulls out of the race. this, it deflects any attention from the republican race because there is no race. it is like what happened after john mccain secured the nomination in 2008. everyone focuses on the hotly contested democratic race. both john mccain and richard nixon needed publicity in 1960. so, in 1960, all of the attention goes in the primary season to the democratic side of the aisle. talkhat is really, when we about primaries in 1960, we are talking plural. we are talking two. there are about maybe eight or nine, offi

until the election and we want an update on the work that some republican groups are doing to elect or gop women to congress. a few weeks ago -- we just got an update on the democratic side, so tonight we are looking forward to hearing on the other side of the aisle, as you say in washington. we are excited to have two julie conwaywti, and rebecca. things see both for being here. >> sure. >> i want to let everybody know we will save time for questions. free -- asked questions during the discussion and you will be up to a vote other people's questions. if you missed any discussion, we will have the same podcast to register. , let me rewindgo the clock a bit to the 2018 midterms. it was not a great year for republicans. only -- themen, number of republican women fell to 13. that was compared to 88 democratic women in the house. needless to say you have had your work cut out for you. i wonder if you can give assistance of your organization and what your strategy has been and what your forecast is in the next two weeks. let's start with you. vew pack. we are expecting great things in 13 days.

. >> similar cases are pending in north carolina and pennsylvania where the gop is trying, again, to cut a ballot deadline short after the supreme court deadlocked on the issue last week. that makes last night's republican led confirmation of amy coney barrett to the supreme court that much more significant. she could cast a deciding vote in these pending election cases. barrett was sworn in before another big pandemic era crowd at the white house even as the vice president's office battles an outbreak there. more distancing and masks after her introduction last month turned into a super spreader event. >> barrett took her oath just eight days before the election, even the gop said eight months was not enough time to confirm judge merrick garland to the court in the last election cycle. th count ball loots that arrive on or before election day. the green states represent nearly 2/3 of the electoral votes, yet another reason you should not expect a final result on election night. >> joe biden makes his closing argument for the election today, and where he does it is telling. the forme

state gop leaders say they will not follow that order. >>> oakland is joining portland, oregon, in suing the trump administration over the deployment of federal officers to quell protests over the summer. they allege hoechl land security and the justice department overstepped their limits. federal agents were never sent to oakland, as president trump threatened. >>> the federal government has rejebted california's request for aid for six wildfires that began in early august. it does not include any bay area fires. >>> another night of power shutoffs and red flag warnings. >> we'll hope that we can have another night like last night when the conditions were primed for fire weather to get started. puwe didn't actually have any fires. one more night of these conditions with the red flag warning continuing until 11:00 tomorrow morning. then conditions are going to improve. at least in terms of the wind gusts. the humidity is low right now. and it's gonna remain low for the rest of the night. usually the relative humidity recovers overnight. it goes up. but in this case, it's just gonna stay

this is a gop fantasy, the most disgusting kind of gop fantasy, trying to link biden to pedophilia.e have seen the president retweeting ideas like that. it is -- i wonder how we can ever get back to a norm at political culture where there's so many smears being spread, including by fox anchors, including by gop senators. it was more bartiromo's fault for prompting it, but it was even more inappropriate for him to go along with the interview. >> it is a question that certainly at some point this country is going to have to reckon with. brighton stelter, thank you. the. >>> after a chaotic first debate, a covid diagnosis, a cancellation, competing town has, they will face off one last time. the final presidential debate is coming. >>> a stimulus stalemate s. nancy pelosi's self-imposed deadline is now down to 24 hours to get help into the hands of the american people before election day. >>> as the u.s. economy struggles, china is rebounding quickly. we'll explain. and now your co-pilot. still a father. but now a friend. still an electric car. just more electrifying. still a night out

this is what the gop is now.hey're reduced to whining about mean tweets and trying to get people fired and in their warped minds, they think this is more important than the deadly pandemic that's killed 227,000 americans eric trump actually claimed supposed social media bias against conservatives was the biggest issue in the election. >> you better believe they also have their fingers on the dial i mean, if i put something out that they disagree with, the numbers are down i mean, i can just see it based on engagements and likes you can, too, on yours they are censoring us. they don't do it to the other side it's gross, but americans are seeing through it. believe me, americans see through it i'm telling you, people aren't happy about it i think it's actually become probably the number one issue in politics >> yeah. wow. >> the last couple weeks >> seth: yeah, man, it's definitely the number one issue in politics right now. in polls, it's right above hunter biden's laptop, lesley stahl was very nasty to mr. trump,

nearly all gop lawmakers are christians.are running out of time, we will put it on screen. what do you make of that week? >> amazing they are critical of her religious faith, bring her religion into her job as a judge, she's not a decent judge, she shouldn't be trusted and then aoc bringing religion right into the halls of congress saying let's use jesus as a litmus test for you guys. i find it to be ironic and hypocritical. todd: maybe jesus could get something done in that congress because they can't get anything done. jesus would make all of us uncomfortable absolutely. todd: we appreciate your time this morning. jillian: to the story we are following. bringing the drama to a highway at oregon. a photo of the stubborn animal as she sat and stared him down on the highway, for a lot of the truck. the other two were captured, safely back home. look at this tiny dog staring down a black bear and when, jack russell chasing the bear into the woods. the bear literally falling over itself as it tries to get away. todd: any shot o

it's tough going to get this thing through, at least as of now, through the gop senate.you miss debbie downer there. charlie gasparino on those developments here. the markets trending down a little on what he just said now. >>> by the way, some news north of the border. we are learning that in ontario, canada they are shutting down indoor dining, gyms in toronto and in ottawa. that's on saturday, for at least 28 days due to a rising covid-19 cases. this is limited to those regions for the time being but it follows a spike in cases, record cases we are hearing out of russia and poland and ukraine. especially in poland and ukraine, where they are typing up restrictions and revisiting what they call rolling lockdowns, particularly in poland around the warsaw area. nothing like that happening here in the united states. we have seen spikes in cases certainly in the new york city metropolitan area but nothing so drastic or sweeping as what they are considering doing as of tomorrow in canada. stay with us. i have an idea for a trade. oh yeah, you going to place it? not until i'

you have to get the gop senators sitting there saying you know what?t of money left. we have a 4 trillion-dollar budget deficit. you need mitch mcconnell on board. it will be a uphill battle getting those gop senators. that is the deciding factor. back to you. liz: okay. thank you, our viewers have heard from jpmorgan's david kelly earlier he does not expect a big stimulus package that is coming. charlie, thank thank you. let us go to t-3 trading scott redler we have two minutes left. your favorites, amazon, apple. tackle apple first if you think it's a good buy right now? >> i think right here over 15% off the highs, put history inside, apple 15% of off the highs you tend to do very well. we need to simplify it f you go with apple, don't have exposure to it as an investor. you have a dividend, buyback, you have potential for 5g cycle. you had a stimulus package, that will benefit with them new iphones for apple. technically it is great, eight to 21 days. right here is a good spot to dip your toe in. if not a few toes. liz: give me the big toe for amaz

keeps the senate if we get a donald trump win, i don't see how the gop doesn't keep the senate. doesn't pelosi then have to back down and do a deal >> well, i think that, look, the -- i think you still need the senate as we're already seeing we could see, you know, the question is, you know, where is mitch mcconnell's realign? and what sort of -- will there be 60 votes in the senate? the senate still matters here. so i would say that, look, if you get a clean sweep by the gop, we're going to get stimulus but it's going to be the thin stimulus it's not that $3.5 trillion heroes be act. it's going to be more along the lines of what mcconnell wants or something maybe in between you'll still get stimulus. yes, you're right. but less than what the market was hoping for when visions of a blue wave is coming to the fore in the last week or two. you get stimulus, yes. it will be light >> david, you know, the selloff today is so broad. you see the big tech names lower. we have them reporting this week and they really led the markets high they are year making 40% of the s&p 500. how much
