joining us now from chicago is james warren who's executive editor of news got also the former managing editor and washington bureau chief of the chicago tribune james welcome to the program so what about this this breakthrough moments that can be talking about the donald trump needs tonight can he find it. when i think it's unlikely and he's behind in most of the polls and even though traditionally the 3rd the final debate is actually more important people give credit to the sort of this potential wisdom that people don't tune into the bates and don't really care and certainly the american electorate is quite polarized but i think would have to be a really awful performance by by and out much impact the no hopes of saying that the pressure is on biden i really think it's absolutely reverse trump sees what's going on and to make matters worse chrono virus is surging in places all over the country including chicago and the economy is worsening more and more people are jobless so i think there's a huge. intensity the pressure on trump and the clash up technology and personality that is ju

>>when warren harding be james cox by 42 points. i asked political analyst michael yaki what he makes of this poll. >>well i think that this is this state has been a center of the resistance against donald trump. you have a lot of people who don't like the fact he's made comments by withholding aid. from the fires simply because we didn't vote for him the first time so i just think there lot of people here dissatisfied this is this is a state that has diversity. this is a state that has a lot of progressive views. not necessarily conservatives even conservative i think is is is more the moderate realm of where the republican party used to be so i think that a lot of people from the left and from the center and from the center right who are going to be voting for joe biden the >>michael given what happened 4 years ago why should we believe any of these polls i think that what happens though is that pollsters who. got caught with their. i didn't really didn't really account for the trump surge among whites non-college educated voters

but without the foundational work of ebenezer kinnersley, warren de la rue and james bowman lindsay, now edison any more than you know ebenezer kinnersley, warren de la rue or james bowman lindsay. isn't he sexy all fired up? he really gets my current alternating, if you know what i mean. edison was kind of a publicity hog and a bully. yeah, he electrocuted an elephant named topsy just to make himself famous. if i had an elephant named topsy, he would want for nothing. also, he'd be named jumbo. and worse than that, edison filmed the first on-screen kiss, so...he's basically a pornographer. although, every time i put that in wikipedia, someone takes it out. is your current still alternating?

but that is a huge margin in fact we have to go back to 1920 to get a bigger victory when warren harding be james cox by 42 points. i asked political analyst michael yaki what he makes of that poll. >>well i think that this is this state has been a center of the resistance against donald trump give a lot of people who don't like the fact he's comments by withholding aid. from the fires simply because we didn't vote for him the first time. so i just think there lot of people here to satisfy missus is a state that has diversity. this is a state that has a lot of progressive views. not necessarily conservatives and even conservative i think is is is more the moderate realm of where the republican party used to be so i think that lot of people from the left and from the center and from the center right who are going to be voting for joe biden the >>michael given what happened 4 years ago why should we believe any of these polls i think that what happened though is that pollsters who. got caught with their. i didn't really didn't really account for the trump surge among whites non-college educated vot

holbrooke's boss warned warren christopher became the counterpart to james baker in bush versus gore and was beaten. i've always felt that showed james baker was a kind of blue-eyed killer. no one could beat him when it came to that kind of contest. how do you think richard would have done going up against james baker on the florida recount? obviously he's not a political operative, he's not a lawyer but he is a brilliant negotiator. how do you think holbrooke would have doneagainst baker ? >> i have to say one of the interesting things going back to that recount was many democrats who said to me that we knew that al gore was hosed as soon as we heard jim baker had been involved so people were well aware even at the time before the recount of the differences betweenthose two men but here's the thing . one of christopher's great mistakes actually was sitting down as we tell the story in the book of the two men sitting down for this first meeting and this dramatic moment, the election is undecided and what's going to happen in florida? christopher's blocked out time to sit there and th

what do you think warren as treasury secretary? jamesk it's interesting why we haven't seen the market pricing downward with mr. biden leading in the polls lately. i think part of it, it goes back to money creation, $3 trillion or so by the fed. i'm not sure you're getting a pure signal right now but as you suggest, there's also a sense that -- that he's not really a change agent that the change in tax regulatory policy may not be as dramatic as he is suggesting it would be but i don't think that's a good bet for investors who want to make an assumption that he doesn't really mean it in terms of the tax hike plan or the regulation plan on energy sources. i -- i really question that judgment. i think there was an argument that, well, he won't be adding as many costs on trade, but if you look at his agenda, it's -- it's an expensive trade agenda as well. so i -- i don't -- honestly i don't understand that but i do appreciate that a lot of people hold that view on wall street. stuart: okay, i hear you. james, thank you very much for joining

warren is the fifth democrat to absolutely categorically refused to meet with barrett, if you are keeping count, that is five radical dems down, 42 to go. fired fbi director jamesey on capitol hill testifying before the senate judiciary committee today, comey answered some questions about the fbi's corrupt efforts to bring down the president throughout the questioning however, comey appeared hell-bent to shed any responsibility for using the phony steele dossier as a predicate to lie to the fisa court into spy on the trump campaign, radical dems like senator dick durbin use the hearing to throw out a new allegation, a whole new conspiracy that he apparently is just fabricated. durbin suggested president trump as a target for russia because of a new york times report about the presidents taxes, durbin like the rest of the senate judiciary dems failing to ask comey about a single new element of the declassified information which shows hillary clinton creating the plan to tie president trump to russia in the hacking of the dnc. joining us tonight is former congressman, former chairman of the house oversight committee jason chaffetz on fox business contribute her.
