they would pick joe biden.biden was against killing the third, so i think the president wins the debate also when he makes joe biden the candidate of lockdowns. president trump showed empathy when he talked about the impact of this lockdowns on people's lives and that's not washington nonsense, that's exactly what's happening at the kitchen table for america's families. i think also president trump may joe biden the candidate of the mob. it was just sad when trump pressed joe biden for a single law enforcement organization that supported him, and by the way, sean, mostly they support democrats. they are unions. local races back to democrats candidates but they are all backing president trump because they see joe biden, the candidate of the mob, very effective night for the president, the only strong leader in the debate. he came prepared for the debate and copped him i probably can prepare to moderate it. i thought president trump's questions were better than chris wallace's. >> sean: tami, riots, law and order

i feel that trump was debating both joe biden and chris wallace. ris wallace definitely showed bias to biden. , withnt-blank asked trump he disavow supremacists? he did not point-blank asked biden if he would disavow antifa and black lives matter. black lives matter is a wonderful sentiment. however, if you look at the charter of black lives matter, there are some very not nice things under that charter. again, ahing is, debate should be a debate between the two candidates. what i saw was two minutes of trump, two minutes of joe biden and then it was an open discussion, but it was not an open discussion. chris wallace jumped in and, in my opinion, debated with trump. he did not do that with biden. so i was very disappointed in the debate format. over and beyond you support of a candidate. host: let's go to fed let in brooklyn, new york supporter of joe biden -- philip. caller: hi, how are you. one of the things we have in america that is really important is referees. would have referees for games, we have teachers, people that really handle stuff. t

i think these tensions are going to point out in the joe biden presidency. host: remind us what the biden/sanders unity task force was. guest: absolutely. of 2016, theeat democratic party, joe biden's sought outgressively advice from bernie sanders for progressive members of the house whataoc to kind of draft does the democratic party stand for. that is the language they -- language, they believe x, they believe y. people want talk about this, but one of joe biden's most progressive initiatives he's that he doesn't talk about on the trail much, housing would be a federal guarantee to every american. we would basically create a new entitlement that provides housing to everyone. it would be a dramatic expansion of government welfare, and that was certainly influenced by aigne andnders' camp staffers. it has had a real impact on joe biden's platform. he isn't campaigning on everything in his platform, he is campaigning on trump on his response to the coronavirus, unity, on the race rise we see in american cities -- riots we see in american cities, but there is n

florida,t is melvin in supportive joe biden. hear from a supporter president trump from georgia. frederick, hi. caller: i have a couple of things to scroll down here. favored trade nation with obama. the previous caller was talking about biden was going to do everything for america. companies are about money. they want to invest where they can make the most, so they go where it is cheapest. with trump's tax plan, he brought business back to america. people were investing in america. i see all kinds of hotels being rebuilt. he had all kinds of records for , health and under obama care went from $400 deductible to $4000. biden in there, too. you can see all of the building going on. you see the infrastructure. i went through jacksonville, florida, and i see all of the road were going on. that is federal tax dollars. i just don't think with the biden supporters i'm hearing are really in touch with a lot of the issues in the right way and what they're saying is incorrect in a lot of ways, especially when biden and obama had most favo

host: mississippi, joe biden supporter. caller: good morning. just wanted to address the first caller who said that biden didn't address the looting. he has addressed that and the first caller didn't address the killing. i mean, what is looting and burning when someone's life is being taken? trump didn't address none of that. all he addressed is the looting. that's all. i've been to a couple of protests. thank you. host: michigan, undecided line, this is john. caller: good morning. thank you. comment, i watched c-span and i listen to people, i'm undecided. fromr very few suggestions politicianse to the to solve these problems. hitlers, all this name-calling. i hear nothing, any suggestions on how the politicians can put things back together, and we the people are the ones that are supposed to solve this. they are supposed to take our suggestions and use that to solve this, but they don't listen to us at all. that is my comment, god bless we will go wherever. host: the presidential visit, that is the headline for the kenosha news. the president ha

right, joe biden had a similar role to vice pence when h1n1 came out but -- he didn't do anything. sands more were infected before the obama/biden administration moved before swine flu. millions got it. now luckily, luckily swine flu was not nearly as deadly as the wuhan virus because they were so slow to react. they were slow, slow to do anything that their own spokesperson from obama administration guy that worked with joe biden said we got lucky this wasn't viral and no one talks about fact that obama biden never restock ppe over things that were used to deal with h1n1 try to blame trump about this and reality is every doctor will admit now. stopping travel from china was the number one thing because if you have a virus that, you know, expands exponentially coming into the country if you have more people getting. more people would have given it to others. it would have qhoamed our overwhelmed our hospitals before we have a chance to do pun precedented things that this administration has done so media is just disregard of all of the things for the revisionist history that they're

you know, you all deserve to know when joe biden was asked in july of last year this question, he was, would there be anyplace for fossil fuels, including coal and fracking, in a biden administration, joe biden said, and i quote, no. we would make sure it's eliminated. last march in a debate, joe biden said, quote, no new fracking. you know, here in ohio, some last march in a debate, joe biden said, quote, no new fracking. you know, here in ohio, some estimates show that ending fracking would literally cost 700,000 jobs. but when joe biden was asked in a debate specifically, he was asked, would you be willing to sacrifice hundreds of thousands of blue collar jobs for the sake of their radical environmental agenda, he said, and i quote, the answer is yes. he even told one supporter, i guarantee, i guarantee we're going to end fossil fuels. men and women of ohio, i don't know what they're saying now, but i think we should believe them all the times they've said before. they're going to ban fossil fuels, they're going to crush american energy, crush american energy jobs. because joe bide

for joe biden, there are other possibilities. joe biden would love to win florida.f we does, most likely, he's the next president of the united states. >> why does president trump have to win florida and where -- and where does he have to win in florida? >> it's the electoral map, really. in part i just mentioned it because of the big states. california going for joe biden, texas, illinois, new jersey. a lot of the big states. when you look at the battleground states, it's mathematically possible for president trump to win if he loses florida, but he would have to sweep, pennsylvania, wisconsin, michigan and pick up new hampshire or another state along the way. it would be challenging for him to do that. for donald trump right now, i would say this -- if you look at the real clear politics averages, 1.7% favoring joe biden, it really is a dead heat here in florida. it's going to come down to turnout. president trump knows he has to win florida. he's dedicating resources here. you're going to see an effort to do that. what he's going to have to do is to maintain what

this people were not sure on which joe biden going to be a progressive joe biden, a moderate joe bidenbiden they used to know. the joe biden that seems to be moving towards the left. this is a really important moment for him. so democrats gave it a b plus. independents a c minus and republicans not surprisingly an f. it was very important for joe biden to clarify who he was and what his candidacy was about. this is the closest that people really got to an answer on what he is all about. it was an important answer for him. steve: sure. the president did very well with his base when he was talking about reopening the economy. and he did pretty well with independents. watch. this open these states up. it's not fair. you are talking about almost like being in prison. you look at what is going on with divorce. look at what is going on with alcoholism and drugs. it's a very, very sad thing. he will close down the whole country. this guy will close down the whole country and destroy our country. our country is coming back incredibly well. setting records as it does it. we don't need somebody

joe biden is competitive. north carolina is tight but joe biden is tight.ican-american turnout, big suburban turnout, joe biden could be the turnout. democrats have a dream of a route. they believe they're in play even in georgia or ohio. some democrats want the biden campaign to spend money in places like iowa and places like texas leaning red right now. the biden campaign has to make a decision into the final weeks where do we spend resources? do we play it like we think it is? or do you try to venture out and help other candidates? the challenge is that this map, the 2016 map looks like a distant dream. he flipped wisconsin, michigan, pennsylvania. the president enters tonight's debate needing to change the race in a dramatic way. solid trump, leaning trump. very conceivable. very, very conceivable to see president winning ohio. it's a republican-leaning state. florida has republican dna. georgia republican dna. conceivable to see the president win. he's competitive. same with north carolina. he's competitive. even he won all those he's 247. and even win

65% say joe biden. s these debate watchers agree with daniel dale and his fact checks here. 29% say donald trump. and what about who's attacks were more fair on the other one? okay. were biden's attacks fair? 69% of these debate watchers say, yes, biden's attacks were fair. 28% say no. the flip side of that, were donald trump's attacks fair? only 32%, a third of debate watchers, said they were two-thirds of debate watchers, 67%, say, no, donald trump's attacks tonight in the debalt we debate were not fair. wolf. >> let's go back to jake, dana, and abby. he stood up to the president of the united states. he didn't back down, at all. and he clearly didn't need a teleprompter. >> that's right, wolf. and i guess it's no surprise, abby, with a slightly more democratic-leaning audience, as this poll had. not to mention that just utter embarrassment of a debate, that people would overwhelmingly say biden won the debate and donald trump lost. but i have to say, i don't think it's, so much, that joe biden won the

joe biden will keep his promise.thstar are the people in youngstown, toledo, scranton, those industrial midwestern places. that is why he is doing well here. david: i want to sneak in one tied to the senate race. in particular, lindsey graham. we have this nomination now of amy coney barrett which is pretty controversial and i read perhaps that it was helping his opponent raise funds. is the dnc putting money into that race? tom: that is another dead heat race. i know jamie harrison very well. he has something that lindsey graham lacks, integrity. what is interesting about that race is the former, i think, ceo of michelin, who used to be the finance chair of lindsey graham, is one of jamie harrison's strongest supporters. saidoke in an ad that jamie harrison is someone that you can trust. we need people in south carolina, folks have said, we will put the interests of south carolina first. lindsey graham has become a lackey for donald trump. his absence of integrity -- look at what he said in 2016 about the nomination

trump campaign suggests things can get feisty. >> the president will be ready and strong to take on joe bidendon't think he will holdback. he has a strong record to run on. he produced significant results in 47 months compared to 47 years of failure. >> harris: meanwhile biden's vice-president nominee kamala harris expects joe biden to do well. >> joe will speak directly to the american people and talk about facts and about solutions. >> harris: well, it got interesting in the last hour. fox news learning dramatic new details on last-minute negotiations between the two campaigns. biden and trump ahead of tonight's waives. -- face off. peter doocy, things going back and forth over issues like earpieces. >> they are. biden and trump will head to cleveland but their staff has been on the ground for weeks. the trump campaign is aasking for a third party to come in and inspect both candidate's ears for electronic transmitters. he said joe biden's handlers agreed to a pre-debate inspection for electronic earpieces but today reversed themselves. biden's staff asked for multiple breaking news during

for joe biden there are other possibilities. joe biden would love to win florida. if you does he is most likely the next president. host: why does president trump have to win florida, and where does he have to win florida? guest: it is the electoral map, really. in part because of the big states. california going to joe biden. if we look at the battleground states, it is mathematically possible for president trump to but hehe loses florida, has to sweep pennsylvania, wisconsin, michigan, and pick up new hampshire or another state along the way. it would be challenging for him to do that. if you look at the real clear politics averages, one .7% favoring joe biden, it is a dead heat in florida. it will come out to turnout. president trump knows he has to win florida, so he is designating resources here. you will see an all-out effort. he will have to maintain a support frome in the hispanic community, especially cuban-americans in south florida. i would draw a distinction between the hispanic community, cuban, versus the -- president trump is doing well with the hisp

as far as donald trump going after joe biden about hunter biden.ure that everybody's lasting memory is joe biden saying with a lot of passion and with a heart that his son did have a drug problem and that he is proud of him for getting through it. while joe biden is eulogizing his son bo biden who served the united states and the president cannot even bring himself to say, thank you for your service as a family and then called his son a coke head. you know that that will be on people's minds, not however million dollars you may have made. >> dana: maybe they can revisit it again in the next two debates. we will see. thank you. >> i hope so. it's been on the call for joe biden to back out of the upcoming debate. and biden claiming that he has control over his own party. and follow us on instagram. we have an insta story that brings the daily headlines we are tracking. check the top banner and stay safe. you can cut your family's mortgage payments by $3000 a year. the va streamline refi is a benefit your spouse earned. it shortens the refi process so

[applause] under president trump's leadership, we have stood for a stronger and safer america. we revived our economy. in those first three years, businesses large and small created more than 7 million good paying jobs including 500,000 manufacturing jobs. pennsylvania and indiana have a lot in common. i always used to say back when i was governor of the hoosier state that we did two things well. we make things and we grow things. right? loste last administration to hunt -- but the last administration lost 20,000 american manufacturing jobs. the last president said in the summer of 2016 --

you can't blame that on joe biden. he isn't president. joe is making clear what he would do differently. >> trace: robert, you brought up the polls. i want to put them on the screen. the real clear politics average. july 1 joe biden was up by 9.4%, right? august 1 that slips to 7.4%. september 1st biden now up 6.2%. convention bounce, what do you make of biden's lead beginning to slip? >> trace, you know polls are all over the place. like i said, morning consult came out this morning. they were up 8 points nationally. >> trace: you are kind of saying i'm saying the average. what do you make of this dip? >> i make out it will be a tight race. i don't think the polls 6%, 8%, 10%. 60 days is a lifetime. i like where joe biden stands today. there is going to be a fork in the road and people will have a real choice. i think joe biden has stated his case. i know people loved his speech yesterday because he stated facts. it is a fact that crime is up 26% since donald trump has been the president. that's just a fact. it is a fact that unemployment

this is an important moment for joe biden. who is this joe biden?ive or moderate, the joe biden we knew before or moving towards party standards? he answered that question which reinforced -- democrats given a b plus, independents a c-the republican response, important for joe biden to define who he was, deciding who it was, neither candidate did. i was surprised. when i asked the people who responded last might who they thought won, a third thought biden did, a third thought no one won. never heard so many people say nobody won. >> the general consensus, we carter, appreciate that. >> what about the mainstream media? >> it was a complete disaster. >> the worst presidential debate i have ever seen. todd: a media analyst breaks down the meltdown next. ♪ with rybelsus®. ♪ you are my sunshine, my only sunshine... ♪ rybelsus® works differently than any other diabetes pill to lower blood sugar in all 3 of these ways... increases insulin... decreases sugar... ...and slows food. the majority of people taking rybelsus® lowered their blood sugar and reached

joe biden said no way. the biden camp asked for breaking news and president trump said no way.n roberts reporting that these negotiations are on-going. what is your take on this? is this about getting inside the other guy's head? >> yes, bingo, that's what it's about. bathroom breaking news, transmitters and drugs. that's where we are right now in the back and forth. what you are seeing is the debate equivalent of trash talking before a game. if joe biden comes out there does a great job, you have a narrative ready to go. he must have been on something or somebody giving him answers in his ears. the trump campaign said we will submit to all of these things. why aren't you? the biden campaign said we are not. that's the narrative today. how joe biden will perform is one of the biggest questions of tonight. it's a 90 minute debate. it's a long back and forth. his side did ask if they could have two breaking news over the course of the 90 minutes. that request was denied. trump team said our guy does 90 minutes at rallies 3 times a week. you see both sides. the opponents trying to

he needs to smoke joe biden out and make biden take policy issues. ion to pack the supreme court. will you do that, joe? i oppose defunding the police. where are you? the other issues, driver's licenses -- where are you, joe? sanctuary cities, i oppose them, joe, do you? you proposed higher taxes twice as high as hillary clinton. i oppose that. why are you for higher taxes and fracking. i oppose efforts to end fracking, where are you, joe? smoke him out. make him state his policies on those six issues. >> bill: well prepared. nice to talk to you today. we'll see whether or not you get your wish tonight. ari fleischer, we'll talk real soon. >> thanks, bill. >> sandra: months after the coronavirus first came to this city there is now word new york could soon face more shut downs. we'll have that story for you next. i'm voting for proposition 19 because it strengthens prop 13 for seniors, disabled veterans, wildfire victims, and family farmers. prop 19 also protects the right of parents to pass on the family home to their children at the current property

i think joe biden's role expanded over his time in the white house. this earlier in the program about how important it was for -- to have biden as a key point person on certain issues. and, of course, working with congress was probably the number one role for biden in importance in getting legislation passed because, remember, democrats at the time, first, they had control of the full congress and the white house, which is when you can get your things passed. light.e the green and then they didn't have the -- have control of the house anymore and suddenly you had to negotiating. and you needed someone who could work across the aisle. been biden has always rated as a -- basically as a moderate when you look at his days. record these his past voting record. he's just a little to the left f jon tester right now who's one of the key moderates in the senate right now. rated.how he was he knew how to work across the aisle then as a moderate and he those ose skills, relationships. night in back door meetings trying to get these guy., he was the go-to presiden

you continue to support joe biden.f you are going to vote for president he proves to you why you want to vote for him. he is encouraging you to do so. in effect, reinforcing their bases i don't know if this shift the conversation with the polls as we have seen them for the last several weeks. that was certainly the hope for joe biden's camp. it was do no harm meaning stay consistent and meet the lobar that had been set for you by republicans. president trump was trying to change that and bring more of a focus to him. again, i don't think he would declare a winner something like this. i think you can declare a little bit of a loser in terms of the fact that independent probably didn't get out of this what they wanted. >> i think so because of the chaotic atmosphere of this debate. greg, as we wrap up, how do we clean things up next time around? how can we check to make sure we don't have two candidates talking over each other and instead get down to the issues? >> i think we put it on zoom and put a mute button on both

joe biden said it last night.stop saying that, please go back and crack open a history book and look at presidents wilson and andrew johnson. they were horrible, vera went awful overt racists and you diminish the harm that they've done to americans and newly freed people in this country by saying that this president is the worst president ever because you don't like him. there is a big difference. >> i think there's a difference in that this is 2020, we are in a much more diverse country and we have a much greater ability to understand that the future of america is absolutely dependent on inclusivity and diversity. that's who we are very >> which is why you excuse violence all over the -- >> here is good of the bad news. coming up, more heated moments from the debate with the candidates over the economy and covid this time, we will be right back. ♪ ♪ limu emu & doug you know limu, after all these years it's the ones that got away that haunt me the most.

hence, the release of joe biden's tax returns, joe and jill biden's tax returns today, showing that they paid $300,000 in taxes in 2019, personal income taxes. i want to play for you some sound from donald trump four years ago addressing the issue of how little he may pay in taxes and get your response on the other side. let's play that clip. >> did you use that $916 million loss to avoid paying personal federal income taxes? >> of course i do. and so do all of her donors or most of her donors. i know many of her donors. her donors took massive tax write-offs. a lot of my write-off was depreciation and other things that hillary, as a senator allowed, and she'll always allow because the people that give her all this money, they want it. that's why. see, i understand the tax code better than anybody that's ever run for president. >> we heard a similar argument being made by president trump's surrogate, chris christie, saying that joe biden helped write the tax code. what would be the response to that? because i think it's likely that president trump will make that same argument tonight. >>

do we have the good joe biden? we do not have a good joe biden.eement on both sides that joe biden has had strong debate showings we are not hiding them, we just don't have the tape ready. can joe biden pressed his way into not having gaffes court is a debate like live tv unscripted, things happen. >> what they are trying to get him to do is not rise to any taunting the president might throw his way. we know joe biden can go off the handle particularly when he is angry and donald trump goes after hunter biden's alleged corruption or issues about joe biden's cognitive abilities, he could get riled and that is when he goes off the rails. we know from past debate he can prep significantly and however he does it, position himself to get through an hour or even 90 minutes without doing anything particularly awkward. that will be his challenge but a lot of it is down to temperament. we've seen him get angry and say injudicious things when provoked and i'm pretty sure they are telling him don't go there, don't get upset. if somebody challenges you in a w

florida,t is melvin in supportive joe biden. hear from a supporter president trump from georgia. frederick, hi. caller: i have a couple of things to scroll down here. favored trade nation with obama. the previous caller was talking about biden was going to do everything for america. companies are about money. they want to invest where they can make the most, so they go where it is cheapest. with trump's tax plan, he brought business back to america. people were investing in america. i see all kinds of hotels being rebuilt. he had all kinds of records for , health and under obama care went from $400 deductible to $4000. biden in there, too. you can see all of the building going on. you see the infrastructure. i went through jacksonville, florida, and i see all of the road were going on. that is federal tax dollars. i just don't think with the biden supporters i'm hearing are really in touch with a lot of the issues in the right way and what they're saying is incorrect in a lot of ways, especially when biden and obama had most favo

joe biden. i'm going to spin the wheel, ana, and start with you. what did you see and what does it mean? >> i saw a completely display of dysfuncti dysfunction. i saw a stage where there was one adult and that was joe biden. i saw complete disrespect of the american people. the viewers who tuned in to try to watch a civil debate, to see who had plan to move this forward. donald trump was insane last night. he was off his meds. he was unhinged. it was ridiculous! it was pathetic. i was reading a tweet where somebody tweeted out, listen to this, undecided voters want in a focus group, words, a frank luntz focus group had for trump. arrogant, crackhead, and un-american. so i would say if undecided americans are referring to you as a crackhead, and i apologize to crackheads, you have a proble problem. >> david, i know before the debate, your advice was run on his record and skip the ad hominem attacks. >> alisyn, clearly, he didn't adhere to my advice. look, i think that -- i listened to john's reci

joe biden offered a clear plan. for not only what we need to do so save the environment and climate but what joe's plan will do in terms of the creation of millions of jobs. and again, it's an attempt to distract from the fact donald trump on almost every issue discussed has had no plan. i was actually very impressed not in a positive way to hear that everything that donald trump talked about was what he was going to do. as opposed to what he has done. like track the debate. i don't know how many times he talked about what he's going to do. he's been president for four years. then when he feels like blaming and goes back@prior administration. and blames the prior administration for what he says its failures were without addressing he had no plan that has been about addressing some of the biggest challenges facing our country even before the pandemic. god knows what he has failed to do because of his incompetence in dealing with the damage in terms of human life and economic harm resulting from the pandemic that he ha

court, if joe biden doesn't have support from any major law enforcement group that is concerning, thatefinitely was biden's lowest moment. for the president he didn't get much of a chance to talk about the economy. the moderator and joe biden kept him focused on other issues and he was counterpunching and counterattacking and bickering with biden or than getting a positive message about the last four years and that is why so many people came out of the debate disappointed. they didn't hear much about positive results and positive plans, the mature one. the material want to lead us away from the controversial communication style that joe biden out there, more than trump insulted him. we don't have an adult in the room despite their senior age. when it comes to the american people and undecided voters looking for someone to lead the nation in a calm collected way, the reaction from people who already don't have a candidate is disappointment and disengagement. if you're and undecided voter, you don't want to vote and that is sad. jillian: a lot to break down, we will talk to you later. of

it forced joe biden to break in and it was hard to hear. trump may have been trying to be dominant and biden also wound up calling the president a fool and a clown and saying shut up, man. for many of the audience it was incredibly frustrating to watch. >> trace: you wrote this about the president. with trump trampling both men his supporters were undoubtedly cheering the show of strength but to many others perhaps those skeptical of the president the constant frowning and insults may have looked like bullying. your thoughts. >> that was the risk ofthat kind of high decibel bulldozing approach. trump is running against biden. running against the media and at times seems to be running against chris wallace who kept saying let him answer. at one point the president said am i also debating you and not him? as someone accustomed to having command of the stage uninterrupted as he does with his availability to reporters the president basically also decides to run against an orderly debate process. he just blew it up. no question about it. his camp

i don't know if joe biden can win the states, but joe biden is much more competitive. we had a poll yesterday that showed joe biden ahead by three points in the state of georgia. the point is, all of the public signs, the data that we see is going against the president and the idea that you had somebody on stage who was casting doubt on the legitimacy of the american elections, who was not condemning white supremacists that is more likely to increase the zeal of people to surge out to the polls and vote for joe biden than it is to make them stay home. i just don't see that tom is right in thinking that that's going to diminish turnout. we'll get a huge turnout in this election and all the signs point to it not being good for the president. >> i'm dying to hear what we hear from the white house today based on the reviews. >>> mike pence and kamala harris face off in the presidential debate next wednesday night on cnn. our special coverage begins at 7:00 p.m. eastern time. >>> all right. we made it. we made it and cnn's coverage continues right now. >>> very good wednesd

joe biden is actually, really weak. and frail. and it doesn't seem mentally alert or on top of his game, doesn't seem to have a lot of, well, let's say mental acuity. just listen to biden's top advisor, the guy you just heard from, ron klain, saying the biden-obama response, listen to what they admitted about their response to the h1n1 virus, not the and 1h1 virus, as biden calls it. take a look. >> i wasn't involved directly in the h1n1 response, but i live through it as a white house staffer, and what i will say about it is a bunch of really talented, really great people working on it, and we did every possible thing wrong, and you know, 60 million americans got h1n h1n1 in that period of , and it is purely a fortuity this isn't one of the great mass casualty events in american history, had nothing to do with us doing anything right, i just had to do with luck. >> sean: he did everything wrong, and they didn't prepare l pandemic. make no mistake, 50 years in the swamp, joe biden is now more incompetent than ever. nobody -- our ow

perry is up first out of fort lauderdale, florida, on the life of those who support joe biden. good morning. >> caller: good morning. i support biden and harris. my biggest issue is a functional government which is what i will be looking for to next year. in the past 20 years our government has always been dysfunctional from a late-2010 and that was with -- dozen democrats had everything. others use money given to the rich, to corporations and republicans hiding behind a democratic a president. i'm really looking forward to this and looking forward to getting rid of trump and all these morons that are round tin. thank you are you looking forward to all the as you're going to see in florida over the next 50 days? westwood today from the "washington post" that mike bloomberg is specifically going to be spending $100 million just in the state of florida. >> caller: i don't think there will be any problem. when hillary clinton lost, she would've lunches on the votes that people wrote in names. i don't think, trump isn't going to be popular. democrats are going to take over and getet

versus joe biden. example here. so who does -- who is his greater foe, is it his record here on the economy? >> greg: my granddad used to say, kennedy, you straddle the fence, you get a post up your ass. and the solution in the pandemic for the debates is a great solution. it is joe biden debates biden. so you have him debate that two clips up, he can debate himself on a pandemic, on crime, on race, on fracking come on health care, on sexism. that way he won't get covid and everybody will be self distance, it will be him alone in a room debating himself. the bigger issue is the democrats and i understand if you have no interest in solving any problems right now, because any kind of solution or good news in the economy or on race or on covid is going to help the incumbent donald trump. that's why the democrats were not crazy about stopping the violence. they did not want to accept help, but that would stop the violence. so they let people die then help the country. right? so they would rather sacrifice

the response from joe biden was my son has a drug problem and he has overcome it. ny off understand what it is to have a family member with a drug problem. in terms of the tone, i thought biden was relatable in that moment. and what she said about speaking to the audience, it's not about him, it's about you. that tone struck me as more effective. >> harris: you are talking about finesse. you can go on the attack biyou have to finesse in and out of those moments. that was missing with all of the shouting. melissa, a quick thought and then we will move to law and order? >> melissa: i agree with everything i heard before. all of the points that were made. i think that neither candidate gained anything last night which is different from saying no one won. neither picked up anything new. some are saying maybe that was the president's tragedy. -- strategy. to be so over the top that a lot of people tuned out because they could not take the screaming. the good points that were made got loss. some people were turned off and won't return to the race, won't return to the deba

that is joe biden's legacy.hat is something we are going to point out vehemently between now and the election. >> harris: you said china. we could also talk about the coronavirus. maybe next time. i want to get to this, when the president was making his remarks and taking a lot of questions from reporters yesterday, something that you and i both agreed joe biden has not been doing, president trump got blasted and went after a "new york times" report as fake news after it claimed he did not pay any federal income taxes for ten years and only paid $750 in federal taxes in 2016 and 2017. the biden campaign seized on the report. watch. >> it's the latest reminder how clear the choice is here between park avenue and scranton. i think it contributes to this larger sense that we have from donald trump that he looks down on working people. >> harris: hogan, first of all, your response to that? when i see the president got blasted, there were a lot of questions on that. he said, "no way, fake news." >> he did, and so did

you know, you all deserve to know when joe biden was asked in july of last year this question, he wassked, would there be anyplace for fossil fuels, including coal and fracking, in a biden administration, joe biden said, and i quote, no. we would make sure it's eliminated. last march in a debate, joe biden said, quote, no new fracking. you know, here in ohio, some estimates show that ending fracking would literally cost 700,000 jobs. but when joe biden was asked in debate specifically, he was asked, would you be willing to sacrifice hundreds of thousands of blue collar jobs for the sake of their radical environmental agenda, he said, and i quote, the answer is yes. he even told one supporter, i guarantee, i guarantee we're going to end fossil fuels. men and women of ohio, i don't know what they're saying now, but i think we should believe them. all the times they've said before -- them all the times they've said before. they're going to ban fossil fuels, they're going to crush american energy, crush american energy jobs. because joe biden doesn't understand, america's future depends o

in connecticut, a supporter of joe biden. simone, hello. caller: hello. i will be supporting the biden-harris ticket. for many ideological and policy reasons. but, i would like all voters to consider one thing, it is irresponsible for any country to elect a climate change denier for its leader. host: is that the top issue for you? caller: that is. it is absolutely a top issue. week seeing week to the trump administration dismantling any kind of environmental protection, any progress we have made toward climate change diminish and. --did munition host: peter in st. louis, missouri. a supporter of president trump. actually, i do not support trump or biden. host: i will stop you there only because we have a line for those who are undecided. if that is you, try to call back before the program ends in an hour. again, we have this -- we have lines for those who support trump, biden, those who are undecided, and those who support third-party candidates. if you can try to call back, we will take you one. dan in pennsylvania. caller: thank you for taking my call. i

supporter of joe biden. hello, go ahead. to callyeah, i wanted in. m rooting for biden and kamala. any remaining trump supporters right now are, they are 100% fans. that silly thing it could be. this president has just come you know, trash -- drag to the presidency through the mud. everything he says tonight, it won't have any substance. it's just going to be pure entertainment, high-level vega positions on things. i hear some of these trump supporters saying that he has fulfilled his promises. ever since his campaign started, he mentioned plenty of things he was going to do like building the wall. he said he was going to release his tax returns. this is the end of his first term and you know, it had to be leaked. host: when it comes to joe biden, what does he have to accomplish tonight? do you think. caller: showing leadership, showing professionalism. showing that he has the ability to empathize with americans who when they go through, just show human decency. honor, integrity. through the's been administration before. he's been in politics for a lo

so that is something that joe biden is going to be showing first and foremost. i'm told by talking to supporters of the biden campaign that he's first and foremost going to try to exhibit calm and unification. that he is someone that can sort of bring a unity to this country that has not existed under the trump administration. rather than any specific policy proposal to be addressing tonight. >> and laura, we're told that president trump did less than two hours of preparation for tonight's debate. that's a startlingly short amount of time. >> that's right, and in comparison, joe biden, his campaign says that he's been prepping for days. we know that he called a number of places over the weekend in order to prepare for the debate. that shows the stark contrast in prepping for tonight. and biden, again, i've also been talking to republican pollsters who say that the trump campaign for so long has pitched biden as being an older man or out of step or slow, could ultimately back fire if biden delivers even a pretty stable performance. one similar to what he delivered

and joe biden, then age 76, had come full circle. to become the oldest person to take the presidential oath. donald trump clearly saw biden as a threat. so much so that he was impeached by the house. >> article 2 is adopted. >> reporter: over a phone call he had with the ukrainian president asking him to investigate biden and his son hunter. >> what biden did is a disgrace. what his son did is a disgrace. >> reporter: at issue was hunter biden's five-year stint on the board of a ukrainian energy company, burisma, which began while his father was vice president. >> biden and his son are stone cold crooked. >> reporter: president trump claimed joe biden used his considerable influence to force out a ukrainian prosecutor whom trump says was investigating hunter. >> he said is that he wouldn't give i think it was billions of dollars to ukraine unless they fired the prosecutor who was looking at his son -- >> reporter: there is zero evidence that this is true. biden did want the prosecutor fired, but that's because he was widely viewed as

that's what joe biden can do.e of doing that, joe biden will score in the race will remain the same. >> bill: wears the campaign tomorrow? >> i would not underestimate 100 million americans tuning in. i wouldn't underestimate the number of people who are willing to change their minds when they see these candidates come out to the american people. especially for the president who feels like his record has not been reported fairly. he can tell people directly what he has done or what he thinks he has done for them moving forwa forward. >> the quality of each one's presentation is going to matter a lot. we don't trust our politicians. the idea that the guy who told us he was at the top of his class in law school and plagiarized speeches of a labour party leader, it's not going to be a -- >> bill: that was the way back machine. >> the $750 question. >> bill: thank you, donna, karl, katie. in a moment, i will talk to a man who's played a major role on debate teams for ten national presidential campaigns. bob barnett wi
