steve cortez from the trump campaign said this about kamala harris's record. >> kamala harris according to an independent organization for the year 2019, she was the most liberal member of the u.s. senate. to the left of elizabeth warren and even bernie sanders. you have a wide distance between these two folks. >> dana: martha, how does she do that? he has a record and points of view and they are not the same issues that joe biden wants to be positioned as? >> martha: it's fascinating with the profile. we saw joe biden in his basement for a big chunk of all of this. now he's out there. in battleground states. there was a feeling that kamala harris was going to be very forward leaning and out there in terms of positions they would take. she would be the strong voice. we have not seen that. she's been quiet. i think you will probably hear from her tonight that he would be the president and she would serve him as vice-president and his viewpoints are the most important. she will work to move the ball over to his court and say he's the boss. >> bill: she said something the other day. was it

not so much this time around which is a separate conversation anyway, i had a moment, and steve cortezump support use the term illegal to refer to human beings, immigrants. i thought, there's no such thing any illegal human being. illegal is not a noun. i just can't did what you and i do all the time. i was just speaking my truth. well, that thing went viral and ended up fusion, ended up making a video that and that went viral, 10 million people saw. a very close friend of mine said that's the book your director you have to write the book, illegal is not enough. yes, i do. josÉ, actually this book was going to be a little pocketbook. you know those little pocketbook you have? that was my idea, let me write this real fast. it's like a ten-point guide of illegal is not a noun, like short simple people at airport to pick it up and said okay, why should never use the term illegal to refer to a human being. people are really interested in that book. when i i went ahead and decideo get an agent and decided to get back into the world of publishing because it's very scary, it's a scary world,

steve cortez. is this the way the media should work. much but he was pretty soft ball in the way he approached biden. it was a very gentle, gentle reframing of some of his answe answers. savannah guthrie was a competitor to the president, not a moderator. >> to say the least. abc put on the equivalent of a church ice cream social for joe biden in philadelphia. he reminded me of mister rogers neighborhood. conversely, nbc staged a political knife fight in miami. if i compare that to a tv program, it seems like "the wire." we saw today really unfortunately was the breeze and display media duplicity. it's extremely clear who corporate media wants in this country. the fact alone and this isn't my opinion, the fact that george stephanopoulos did not at one moment in the 90 minutes with joe biden today mentioned the biggest story in america right now which is the bombshell revelations from "the new york post" that joe biden while he was sitting vice president was fully aware of his sons influenced pedaling with shadowy figures all over the wo

but anyway, i had a moment, and steve cortez, who is a trump supporter, used the term illegal to referman beings, immigrants. and i thought, i said, look, there's no such thing as an illegal human being. illegal is not a noun. and i just kind of did what you and i do can all the time. it was -- i was just speaking my truth. well, that went viral, and univision, you know, ended up making a little video of that. that went viral. 10 million people saw it. and a very close friend of mine said that's the book that you have to write, illegal is not a noun. and i was like, yes, i do. and so, jose, actually, this book was going to be a little pocketbook. you know those little books that you have. >> yeah, yeah. >> it's like a 10-point gude why illegal is not a noun. short, simple people at the airport will pick it up, oh, okay, why i should never use the term illegal to refer to a human being. well, people were really interested in that book. when i actually went ahead and decided to get an agent and decided to dip back into the world of plushing because it's very -- publishing because it's ve

this morning, steve cortez is giving a more optimistic update. >> what i know is that we have it from the president himself that he's doing well and he is on-task, believe me. there was not one even iota of the president feeling sorry for himself. he said we are going to win this cacampaign. he is still governing as president of the united states, even from the hospital. we're fully confident his recovery will be complete. >>> we begin with kristin fisher, live for us outside walter reed medical center. kristin, good morning. >> reporter: good morning, trace. boy, we just got a whole lot of information about exactly why president trump was brought here on friday. we learned that he has indeed had two drops in oxygen. the president's physician, dr. sean conley, said the first drop happened on friday morning. it coincided with a high temperature. we don't know exactly how high. you had a spike in temperature, you had a drop in oxygen, and the doctor said that at that time, at the white house, they did give president trump supplemental oxygen for about an hour. this is something that's v

anchor chris wallace tune into fox news sunday chris will speak with steve cortez about the impact the president's coronavirus diagnosis is having on the race for the white house. chris also will speak excusively with center for health security at public health about the president's condition. and joe biden supporters minnesota senator amy klobuchar will talk about the impact on both candidates campaigns that is fox news sunday tomorrow check the local listings for time it runs on fox station where you are. as president trump gets treatment for covid-19, there have been more than 7 million cases across our nation with more than 209,000 deaths. here's a look at hot spots in the united states. texas, california, wisconsin, florida, and north carolina. on the list -- charles watson is following this from atlanta, the home of the cdc. charles. >> thank you jon a lot of eyes on hard hit midwest more than 53,000 combined positive cases coming from those states since friday alone. and north dakota hospital officials are scrambling to find extra space of patients overwhelm the system. the same

but the chief campaign advisor steve cortez said this.erate in fear. the president has recovered with terrific progress so far. the vice president is healthy and working non-stop. continuity of command is well established. we won't cower or had, the country, the administration or our campaign. we're out and about and not about to pull off the trail. >> i understand there is no question they have to continue campaigning. i don't think anybody would argue against that. we know the vice president mike coronavirus as of today. we learned people like kayleigh mcenany she just found out she has coronavirus and tested positive today. and after testing herself day after day. so i think it's irresponsible. i'm not saying he shouldn't campaign but if they did it maybe some of the same way the democrats did it and they practiced social distancing and actually wore the masks maybe i would say do it. they hold these big rallies, the vice president of the united states might have coronavirus. he takes time. sometimes it takes as long as two weeks for t

steve cortez with the trump campaign joins us now.ve trump the win, the edge in florida, takes him to a win, florida? >> it will be the economy, stuart. we got amazing news out today on gdp. here at trump campaign headquarters we were doing chest bumping. it is not just good news for us, it is great news for america most importantly. america is a fighter. look we took a cheap shot a fierce cheap shot from the chinese communist party from the virus. we were wobbly for a bit. that is understandable. the economy roars ahead with a massive 33% gdp number, by far the largest in all of history. it is relevance to the campaign is this. this pertains what you were talking about in your opening segment, stuart. this election in many ways, particularly economically show, shapes up as trump's morning in america versus biden's quote, dark winter. that stark choice is the value proposition for the american people. donald trump is the prosperity president. the man, the leader who built the first trump boom that produced the best income gains in all
