democrats said nobody gets a penny unless texas and florida bail out new jersey. that's their position. nobody gets a penny unless texas and florida bail out new jersey. so this is where we are. the previous u.i. benefits expired. the p.p.p. closed its doors. over the weekend, president trump took steps to soften the blow of the democrats' hostage tactics on american families who need help most. his decisions will help spare some americans some of the pain from the democrats' hostage taking. from the beginning, -- from the very beginning, mr. president, our side has tried everything possible to find common ground and deliver more help, but the democrats have said no. at least the american people know the score. at least they know the score.e d with. the presiding officer: without objection. mr. schumer: now, mr. president, over the weekend the united states achieved a milestone. five million americans are confirmed to have contracted covid-19, by far the most in the world. our country went from four million americans having had the disease to five million in 17 da

stephanie ramos from new jersey. >> look at that! >> reporter: hurricane isaias spawned waterspouts along the jersey shore and brought with it wind gusts of over 100 miles an hour. we started feeling it in cape may, new jersey, just after 9:00 a.m. that washing machine feeling, that's what we're in right now. it actually just calmed down in the last five seconds. but the wind, the rain, the sand, just really whipping around. those winds knocking down traffic lights, trees and power lines, putting more than 3 million in the dark across the storm zone. more than a million just in new jersey. >> should you have to go out and come across a downed power line, please immediately report it to emergency services. >> reporter: someone reported this sparking line. and while we were interviewing emergency manager jerry inderwies, it exploded. no one was hurt. this is basically a result of the storm, power lines down, causing fires and explosions in the neighborhood. >> that's correct. that's correct. so, you saw what can happen. >> reporter: to

we are watching bedminster, new jersey.cting at any minute the president of the united states, donald trump, coming in to sign executive orders. we think there is more than one. and he is trying to show that he can take action without congress to extend benefits, covid relief, to millions of americans whose unemployment insurance supplemental, the $600 a week ran out a week ago to extend or reimpose rather a waiver on evictions for home owners facing mortgage deadlines, mortgage payments, and renters around the country as well as other key benefits that have been stalled in the gridlock of congress. the house democrats had passed a bill back in may. it has not been acted on by the senate. the talks broke down on friday. they were trillions apart. the democrats demanding $2 trillion and came down $1 trillion and the white house offering far less than that at least a trillion dollars less than that. joining me now is our panel. let's go to melissa murray nyu professor. can the president by executive order take these actions o

beginning in 1776, when you jersey became a state, new jersey -- the new jersey state constitution made no mention of sex when discussing voting qualifications. it only had property requirements. so women who own enough property, primarily windows and single women, so not all women in new jersey, could and did vote in elections at the local state and national level. they did so for the first 30 years of the republic until new jersey changed its law using its power as a state to do so to restrict the vote to just white men a property. at that point in time, women, as well as african american men, lost the right to vote. for women, it wasn't until new jersey, it wasn't until the 19th amendment ratification that they got the right to vote back. so let's head to the next section of the exhibit, which is why do women fight for the votes? i love this section because our records do such a wonderful job of telling a personal story from women, not just about why they were fighting for the vote, but what the absence of the vote met for them in terms of economic, social, illegal and other conseque

, new jersey, disaster.ter. it's a disaster what's going on. they can't count the ballots. they don't know where the ballots -- >> disaster? however, the president leaves out a really important point. that people who potentially committed this voter fraud, they're in a huge amount of trouble. so doesn't that sort of prove that you're doing the right thing. >> listen. i am in violent agreement with you, stephanie. i've spoken with you about this. i've spoken to the president. this was a local election so not part of the primary i mentioned where we had a lot of success. secondly, i view it the same way you do. i view it as a positive fact. folks try to screw with the system. they've been indicted. they're innocent until proven guilty but if convicted they'll pay a huge price for that. that's the way the system should work and it did work in that case. >> what is your message to voters. the 6.2 million people from new jersey who are going potentially to be sent their ballots. how can they know that those ballo

look at the catastrophe in new jersey. >> now, new jersey governor phil murphy blasted trump, sayingng is crucial to stopping the spread of the coronavirus. >> vote by mail in this election will keep people safe, period. the trump campaign is embarking on a brazen attempt to so fear and confusion and to delegitimize our election. >> now, the majority of experts say that there is no evidence that mail-in balloting would result in widespread fraud. meanwhile, this just in from the new york state officials, they just announced it will allow voters to cite virus concerns in order to request an absentee ballot for the general election. harris? >> harris: okay, lauren green with the latest on that. more about the postal service now. postmaster general louis dejoy will testify before a senate committee as a group of 90 house democrats call for his removal ahead of their saturday vote on post office funding. this, as democrats accuse dejoy of working with president trump to "sabotage the upcoming election." he said this week he would suspend some cost-cutting measures until after the electio

what are you seeing in new jersey now?e've seen pictures of young people partying, not only there, but we see young people partying as though there's no covid out there. >> you know, we went through an incredibly difficult time. i give a lot of credit to governor murphy who made very tough decisions that were both personally for new jerseyians and financially consequential. but it dramatically brought the curve down. it started to make sure that the virus could not spread. it starved off the virus. and we were well under 1%. now, because we have young people, and i was that age once, you think you're invincible, that you're immune, but you're not. not only that, it's not only that you're not immune, but what you do to your parents, to your loved ones, to your friends, is just such an enormous risk to them. so getting that message across is incredibly important. but this, again, if we had a national statement, if we had a president who embraced from the very beginning the nature of the pandemic, instead of saying it is what

, the catastrophe of new jersey and new jersey had more than just patterson and look at what's going on in virginia, look it's what's happening with the mail-in voting and it is a disgrace. absentee is good. mail-in, universal, very, very bad. >> shannon>> blasted it trouncit mail in balloting is crucial to stop the spread of the coronavirus. >> it will keep people safe, period. the trump campaign is embarking on a brazen attempt to so fear and confusion to delegitimize the election. and speak majority >> the trump campaign size thatn the results of the november election. in new york, lauren green, fox news. >> shannon: good news before we say good night, we like to introduce you to an intel prera who just reached shy of her 108th birthday beat in the coronavirus. the new jersey woman showed symptoms and may i never had to get a ventilator, and it's not her first experience with epidemic. she beat the spanish flu as a child. while back. if she's already resumed all of her normal activities which include selling and dancing and she's an inspiration o. okay, our usual temper 11:00 p.m.

the new jersey saying how i will do it. biden seems to be thinking the same way about going after the rich guys. what do you think? >> well, you know, it could be worse. at least joe biden seal something 400,000 as opposed to what it was earlier on in the obama administration which was $250,000 you were deemed to be quote-unquote well think. we will see how things work out for certain states. new jersey is actually tried this game before and the higher it raises taxes the more it seems to shrink its tax base because taxpayers vote with their feet. they end up moving to states that have much lower or no income tax. so, you know, soaking the rich, it always sounds good. it is something great to talk about. on the other hand it doesn't play out well. to your point governors are in a very hard position they do have to balance their budgets. we'll see if the state of new jersey will be welcomed by the bond market. i'm hearing nine billion dollars of fresh debt being taken out possibly. neil: yeah. also a hike, you know, another
