Good to see you, melissa, live today from jacksonville, florida. Florida, the final stop on our swing state tour, out speaking to voters here in the Sunshine State the earlier today, all of this as President Trump prepares to formally accept the gop nomination later tonight back in washington. So a lot to do on a busy thursday. Fox Business Team coverage for you. Blake burman and gerri willis to start us off. Blake, you get to go fifth from the north lawn of the white house. Reporter and we have a little bit of news as it relates to no deal at all whatsoever for a phase four relief package because the chief of staff, mark meadows, and the House Speaker, nancy pelosi, spoke this afternoon, and pelosi has just put out a statement saying, essentially, that the talks once again went nowhere. This was the comment from the House Speaker a little while ago. Quote the conversation made clear that the white house continues to disregard the needs of the American People as the Coronavirus Crisis delaware states lives and lyely hoods. Livelihoods. There wasnt much hope really going into this conversation as pelosi described the white house chief of staff this way before the talks. Watch. So this is a conversation only to respect the fact that the president s representative not even the lead negotiator, that would be mnuchin, we consider, whatever his name is whats his name . Meadows here is staffing mr. Mnuchin. And they, if they are willing to meet us in the middle, then we can sit down and talk. Reporter mark meadows, chief of staff, one of the seniormost advisers over here at the white house. I am told going into that meeting the chief of staff was essentially going to put forth options that would be viable from the White House Point of view. Connell, melissa, one of the things that aye been hearing aye been hearing over the last 24 hours was some republicans support the idea of a 500 billion package, though that number is about four times lower than what nancy pelosi wants and, of course, there are still some republicans who feel that no spending is needed at all. Elsewhere from the white house today we are expecting an announcement here soon, potentially even in the upcoming hours maybe, about a pretty big contract on the testing front as the white house, i am told, has struck a deal with abbott laboratories. That, of course, is the rapid test. 150 million tests, 750 million dollars, so we expect that announcement soon. Well see if the president , President Trump mentions it tonight, of course, as he will be giving his convention address to close out the rnc at about 10 30 here from the south lawn of the white house later this evening. Back to you. Connell busy day. Much more to come from there, blake. Thank you. Melissa. Melissa here now to react is wait, whats his name again . Oh, yeah, steve moore, freedomworks economist. I love that a nancy pelosi cant remember who mark meadows is. [laughter] anyway, let me ask you on the economy and on the president s plan for that, we saw the outline on day one that he was looking to add 10 million jobs in ten months and wants to create 1 million new Small Businesses, but we havent heard a lot of details. Do you know any of the details, and will he talk about that tonight . I think he will, melissa. Great to be with you. I think its going to be a lot of the policies that he put in place in his first term. I know ive talked to him many times, he does want to do this payroll tax cut for the rest of the year. Thats a really important priority with him, and thats one of the sticking points between the white house and pelosi. But he also wants to make these tax cuts permanent, he wants to do the move forward with the Energy Policies of making America Energy independent. You cant think of an issue, melissa, where the two parties clash more than on their vision of energy where trump wants to use our oil, gas, coal and nuke hard power, and the democrats want to use, you know, solar and wind power. So thats a big one. I would add one other one that i think really interesting, its emerged as a big issue this fall, obviously, because of the school year starting this week and next which is trump really wants to get these schools open, and hes really very much probably the strongest advocate of School Choice, of letting the dollars go to the parents and families, of any president ial candidate in 30 or 40 years. Melissa yeah, but we havent Seen Movement on that. I mean, is there a chance he could get something done on the School Choice front . Democrats hate the idea because the democrats are ruled by teachers unions, and so they put those concerns ahead of those of the children. But trump is even talking, melissa, about trying to find a way to do this without Nancy Pelosis opposition. So, you know, there is some talk of taking money in the department of education budget and reallocating unspent money to give the money to parents in School Districts that arent open. I happen to love that idea. I think the American People would love that idea melissa can he do that . Well, we will see, right . I mean, that would be legally challenged. But, you know, what i believe he should do, what ive told the president is assert the authority to do this. Were in an economic emergency. Were in an education emergency. Do it, mr. President. Be like Franklin Roosevelt and assume these powers, and if pelosi wants to sue him for, you know, cutting the payroll tax the or for, you know, giving parents an ability to send their kids to school, you know, go ahead and let her do it. Melissa yeah. Well, anytime you see a headline that the president is out to cut Social Security and medicare or medicaid spending and you wonder where thats coming from, its the idea that he wants to cut the payroll tax. So thats how they translate that into something to use against him. Let me ask you though overall can i just can i just melissa go ahead. This is an important point. So, you know, if people go to our web site, committee to unleash prosperity. Org, you will see we have on tape [laughter] melissa, on tape we have barack obama, joe biden, chuck schumer, nancy pelosi, every leading democrat ten years ago saying cutting the payroll tax is the best possible thing we can do for the american worker. Best thing. Its going to help middle class workers. And they also say back then this will not hurt Social Security. Joe biden is on tape saying that. So the question is, joe biden, if it didnt hurt the Social Security trust fund when obama did it, why is it going to hurt the trust fund when trump does it . Theyre saying exactly the opposite of what they said ten years ago. Melissa well, thats how politicians work. Steve moore, thank you. We look forward to tonight. Thats true. Melissa you have a good seat. Im jealous. All right, a path of destruction, a chemical fire erupting outside lake charles, louisiana, in hurricane lauras wake. We are on the ground in the louisiana with where things stand. Connell. Connell well, melissa, our coverage here from battleground florida continue as well this hour. Floridas really the battleground of the battlegrounds. Well tell you what voters have to say about the state of play here and what the 2016 election could mean for this years race. Stick around. Trump, of course. I cant believe that anybody would question the economy that it has been. If biden gets in, itll be a total socialist economy, a socialist government, and i just cant live like that.

Jeff flock is on the ground in lake charles, louisiana, with more. Reporter ill tell you, i havent seen such a wide swath of destruction since katrina, really, in louisiana. Everything from power lines down to trees down, debris everywhere, streets blocked, power out most places. Even buildings that dont look most buildings are damaged, most homes are damaged in some way. Some lightly, some heavily are. Even ones that dont look damaged, thats the roof of that building. Whats that look like . Heres a piece of it. This is the roofing material of the state college, insulation and brick. There you go. Businesses everywhere, windows out, obviously, all closed. Damage, as i said, almost anywhere you aim a camera in this town youre going to find damage. It is an incredibly wide swath, but then when you think about it, melissa, 150 mileanhour winds, cat four storm hits cameron, which is the small town down in the gulf, on the gulf, and then marches up this way. What do you expect . This was a direct hit, dead on. Within the eye of the storm last night, and the cleanup is just starting now on the other side of this restaurant here, maybe you see. We havent seen much cleanup today. Im thinking tomorrow thats going to kick in bigtime. You see guys clearing some brush, picking up glass. Theres a lot of this to do. If you dont have anything better to do this weekend, come on into lake charles, louisiana. Im sure they could use your help. Melissa. Melissa jeff, that piece of roof with insulation, wow, that is really crazy. I hope thats not asbestos you were touching there. Thank you for that report. Reporter i got insurance. Connell well, to follow up, speaking of insurance, on all of that you always do want to make sure youre covered during a natural disaster. Insurance policies can be confusing in what they do and dont protect when your house is hit by a storm. So gerri willis has spent some time looking into that, and she joins us now to break it down. Reporter thats right. It is confusing. Look, torrential wind, heavy rain, a wall of sea water, hurricane laura was one of the strongest hurricanes ever to pound the gulf coast. The storm causing now a total of four deaths. And as residents return to whats left of their homes, they may be wondering just how much financial protection theyre going to get from their Homeowners Insurance policy. Well, the good news is Homeowners Policies cover wind damage caused by storms like laura. But in louisiana and 18 other states plus the district of columbia, to get to that you have to pay a he was ty deductible hefty deductible first. Hurricane deductibles are typically a percentage of the insured value of the home. So if your insured value is 200,000, your deductible 2, well, then youre going to have to pay 4,000 in deductibles before your insurance kicks in. By the way, the insurance deductible can be found on the declarations page of your policy if youre looking for it tonight. However, if your damage is caused by flooding, well, then you need something altogether different, femas National Flood insurance policy, that is sold by Insurance Agents as well, but there are limits on this coverage. Listen. Its capped at 250,000 on the structure and 100,000 on the contents. Reporter now, the optional comprehensive portion of an Auto Insurance policy is what covers you if you have damage to private cars, private trucks. And finally, if youre an Insurance Company investor, let me tell you, the Public Companies with the most exposure state farm, allstate and travelers. Connell . Connell all right. Important to stuff for a lot of people, jerry will his, thank you. Melissa. Melissa so no mask, no fly. Delta Airlines Banning Passengers if future flights if they refuse to wear a mask on the plane. Deltas ceo ed bastion reportedly saying in an internal memo that the airline has put 240 passengers on a nofly list so far for mask noncompliance. There are no federal mask mandates for a aair travel, so mask rules are up to the airlines. Beware. Come on in, were open. All we do is hand you the bag. Simple. Done. We adapt and we change. You know, you just figure it out. Weve just been finding a way to keep on pushing. Melissa the s p with its longest record streak at the close in two and a half years after a key change from the Federal Reserve. Chairman Jerome Powell announcing a major shift in its Monetary Policy. Edward lawrence is live in washington with the details. Reporter yeah, melissa. That major shift the first one in eight years to the way the Federal Reserve does the Monetary PolicyGoing Forward. The fed will now seek to achieve inflation averaging 2 . What that means, basically, is the economy could run a little hot for a while, but households and investors can be assured that the longterm inflation goal is anchored at 2 . Maximum employment, the Federal Reserve clarifying that in their decision employment can run at or above the estimate of maximum levels without concern. Finally, the major change to the strategy statement includes challenges of persistently low Interest Rates. The bottom line is the Federal Reserve will no longer raise Interest Rates just because the job market improves if there is no inflation pressures. This is not a formulaic approach, you know . The committee will continue to consider all of the things that it typically considers in making Monetary Policy but will aspire to have inflation run above 2 after periods in which it runs for an extended period below 2 so that we can average 2 . Reporter and the vote on this was unanimous. That includes dallas Federal Reserve president Robert Kaplan who i spoke with moments ago. Running behind, youve been running below 2 now for some number of years, and i think we want to take some steps to bolster confidence that we will actually hit our 2 inflation target. From a practical point of view. Reporter kaplan says this will not mean price increases, but price stability. While the job market runs a little bit hot. Powell says the framework will be reviewed every five years, he says the reason it happened now is that weve been through one full Business Cycle since the great recession, and the last two years changed the feds thinking on maximum unemployment. You had inflation running under 2 while unemployment was running under 4 . Back to you. Melissa edward, thank you for that. Connell . Connell more about the fight for the nations largest battleground state. You know, florida one of six states that President Trump flipped in his direction in 2016. Narrowly defeating Hillary Clinton by 1. 2 percentage points. This time around its his challenger, joe biden, who holds a slight lead in the polls here in what is officially the president s home state now. So can mr. Trump repeat that success that led him to the white house four years ago . Im definitely going to be for the democrats. And i would vote straight democrat ticket. I like biden because he reads. Hes a reader. He knows how to get information. And he listens to people. Trump, no question about it what hes done for the country, the employment has recovered and jobs have come back, and the economy overall with all the numbers are good. Connell now, you said the virus the views connell criticized the president for that, you like the way oh, absolutely. Hes listened to the scientists but at the same time been very sensitive to the business and the importance of keeping the economy going. When you never had to struggle and you never had to fight for yourself in life, you dont understand the real world. And you say america is good but i dont see a change. Because in my neighborhood were still the same. Im a democrat. I believe in his policies. And i believe in the rule of law. Weve got an unlawful guy in the office. Connell some of the voters we spoke with earlier today, joined now by republican senator rick scott who, of course, also the former governor here in florida. You know, senator, weve been to five swing states now to over two weeks. Havent been out a long time, but it was great to get out and speak to voters. I would say about florida, you know, its always so close, when we went to pennsylvania or wisconsin, weve had a lot of undecided voters. In florida not very many undecided, but a lot of passion on both sides, almost split down the middle. Whats your read on your state politically right now . Sure. Just remember if the polls were right, we would have president Hillary Clinton. The polls always said President Trump would lose back in 2016. I think the issues are this, number one, who do they think is going to do a better job on the economy. Clearly, most people believe President Trump will do a better job. Who believes in law and order. Clearly, the democrats dont because they wont even condemn these riots. And number three, for florida whats mr. Trump done [inaudible] thats a big, thats a big issue in our state. Biden obama did nothing on maduro and venezuela. In contrast, President Trump has been tough trying to make sure we get democracy and freedom in cuba and all throughout latin america. Those are going to be the defining issues in this campaign in florida, and i think President Trumps going to come out on top. Connell if those issues help the president , does his handling of the virus hurt him here politically . Well, you know, we clearly unfortunately, we have quite a few people die, but we havent had the problems that new york has had where we had a governor who stood up there and sends Covid Patients to a nursing home. So i think in every level of government one thing i wish they would do is give us more information, but i know in congress weve been working hard to make sure we take care of the people that have lost their jobs. The democrats wont help us. Weve been taking care of the business, as we know, the democrats wont help us. So i think the only thing its going to come down to the economy, and we know that joe bidens biggest tax inend creases for the country, its going to be at the worst time for jobs. So i think those things are going to be the most important things in november. Connell met me ask you let me ask you at the president s speech which at one point was supposed to take a mace here in jacksonville place here in jacksonville. I know especially in your time as governor you had to balance dealing with a hurricane and also other duties. The president earlier today said he considered postponing or delaying his speech. Hes Going Forward with it though. Is that the right decision . Well, its a tough decision because, you know, your heart goes out to whats happened in louisiana and texas today, and then you go look at whats going on in portland and kenosha, you know, you hope that eventually especially like in portland, it looks like kenoshas starting to do the right thing, but is that all these riots, these horrible riots will stop. I know the president s focused on fema doing their job. I had a great experience with fema helping me in my four hurricanes. So, i mean, i think its a tough choice, but i think hes going to give a great speech tonight, hes going to talk about the opportunity in this country. Were, as you know, joe bidens now a puppet of the radical left, and i dont think thats going to be good for biden in november. Connell is the audience of the president the most important one, people who voted for hill last time around and or his base . Theres been speculation that theres some, you know, what is known to be the trump base demographically that didnt vote last time, that there may be some more room to push turnout. Should he be targeting folks . It seems like thats what hell do as opposed to trying to look at the undecided voters or maybe even people who usually vote democratic, what do you think . Well, you know, ive had three statewide races, and i think what east going to do hes going to do, and you can see his outreach to hispanics and africanamericans, hes going to go after every voter. Hes got a story about the economy. Hes got a story about how his helped these held these thugs around the world accountable. Hes got a story that he believes in safe communities, so i think hes got the right story actually to talk to everybody. Connell are jobs coming back here in florida . I know that Unemployment Rate has been stubbornly high. Other states are starting to come back a little quicker. Floridas 13. 8 unemployment has come back to 11, but thats still double digits. Im optimistic. We got it down to 3. 3 in eight years. You know, one issue weve got is we are very tourismoriented state, so weve got to get people back on airplanes, weve got to get people back traveling again. Weve got to get the cruise industry going again, and its going to take everybody in those industries making people feel comfortable that they can get back out and enjoy e their life. Connell senator, thank you. Senator rick scott from the state of floridament we appreciate you coming on. Well watch the president tonight. Speaking of which, one of the things President Trump might do this evening is try to appeal to more women voters. Ivanka trump speaking tonight as well in the rnc, and the campaigns been reaching out to that key demographic, something weve been focused on and will talk more about coming up. Melissa. Melissa strange new world, the Research Team in the United Kingdom finds 50 new planets in data from nasas retired Kepler Mission with the help of Machine Learning artificial intelligence. The a. I.

Now you can trade stocks and etfs for any amount you choose instead of buying by the share. All with no commissions. Stocks by the slice from fidelity. Get your slice today. I wondered. Could another come around the corner . Or could it play out differently . I wanted to help protect myself. My doctor recommended eliquis. Eliquis is proven to treat and help prevent another dvt or pe blood clot. Almost 98 percent of patients on eliquis didnt experience another. And eliquis has significantly less major bleeding than the standard treatment. Eliquis is fdaapproved and has both. Dont stop eliquis unless your doctor tells you to. Eliquis can cause serious and in rare cases fatal bleeding. Dont take eliquis if you have an artificial heart valve or abnormal bleeding. If you had a spinal injection while on eliquis call your doctor right away if you have tingling, numbness, or muscle weakness. While taking eliquis, you may bruise more easily and it may take longer than usual for bleeding to stop. Seek immediate medical care for sudden signs of bleeding, like unusual bruising. Eliquis may increase your bleeding risk if you take certain medicines. Tell your doctor about all planned medical or dental procedures. Whats around the corner could be your moment. Ask your doctor about eliquis. Tools, cattle, grain, traded goods. Whats around the corner could be your moment. Even shells represented value. Then currency came along. They made it out of copper, gold, silver, wampum.

Thats why its time for Digital Currency and your investment in the grayscale funds. Go digital. Go grayscale.

Melissa fox business alert, Maryland Governor harry hogan announcing larry hogan that all County School systems are authorized to safely reopen because of improved coronavirus metrics. And the Philadelphia Eagles just announcing for state and is city guidance no fans will be allowed for the 2020 football season, quote until further notice. Hmm. Connell. Connell all right. We have Small Business owners, melissa, and just the people in general of kenosha bracing for another night of protest. Last Night Protests were reported to be relatively calm as hundreds of National Guard troops arrived on the scene there after President Trump had that ordered law and order across the state of wisconsin. Live now to Grady Trimble in kenosha with more. Grady. Reporter connell, crews spent the day putting out hot spots at biddings like this one that burnt to the ground earlier in the week, but by all accounts last nights protests were peaceful. We know that the curfew was move up an hour earlier, and that curfew was strictly enforced. Hundreds more Law Enforcement officials including from the federal government hit the streets of kenosha. Last night was darkly different from tuesday when three people were shot here. 17yearold Kyle Rittenhaus is expected to be charged with firstdegree murder. In a press conferenced today, the sheriff raised eyebrows when he characterized tuesday night. Last night was very peaceful. Tuesday night not quite so peace, but it wasnt too bad. Monday night was our big night. Hopefully, were over that hump. Reporter and in the world of sports, the nhl is reportedly the latest league to call off its playoff competitions tonight and potentially tomorrow night in solidarity with the other leagues whose players are protesting the shooting of jacob blake. We have yet to get confirmation of that from the nhl. We know this all kicked off yesterday when the nba players decided not to play followed by the mlb players and other pro sports across the country. The nba is expected to resume play on saturday and sunday, although the details of their schedule have not been released yet. Connell . Connell all right, grady. Ty Grady Trimble in kenosha, wisconsin. Melissa. Melissa concern over a lack of counterprogramming, democrats have said their president ial nominee joe biden whos been laying low during the convention, but biden did make an appearance this afternoon responding to president bushs prepared remarks President Trumps prepared remarks tonight. We created more jobs in the last three years than hes created so far, number one. Everything hes inherited, hes screwed up. The last four years we werent having racial riots. When they occurred, we didnt have to call on we protected federal property without hurting people. We moved in a direction that made sense. Melissa here now is joe concha, the hill media reporter. You had an interesting tweet this morning where you said you had been saying that playing not to lose is not the way to win an election. How are the democrats playing not to lose . Well, the Biden Campaign, melissa, doesnt seem to have much confidence in their candidate or else the counterprogramming tonight wouldnt be Kamala Harris giving a speech to counter President Trump, they would put the guy, you know, whos on the top of the ticket to do that. And widen did go biden did do two interviews with cnn and msnbc. He needs to do an outreach to independents because hes having some real trouble in battleground states. Remember, after the Dnc Convention lasting week, melissa, the ticket got no bounce. Weve never seen that before. You usually get 3, 5, 6 points. The biden camp got none. So now you look at battleground states in the real clear politics index of poll, he is only up by the margin of error, basically, in the states that matter like wisconsin, michigan, pennsylvania, ohio, North Carolina. So thats a problem for the Biden Campaign. If theyre not getting bounces out of their conventions and their candidate isnt going on real journalism shows like 60 minutes like fox news, like fox business or perhaps Jonathan Swan my old colleague on axios. Take down some actual, tough questions instead of playing tee ball on questions mainly about joe biden, youll notice. What do you think about what donald trump said here, what trump did there . How about asking questions about what joe biden wants to do for the country particularly on the economy in terms of taxes and until yesterday he didnt denounce any violence in the major cities were seeing play out on our screens every night. Its a big pop for the biden cam problem for the Biden Campaign right now, melissa. Melissa you mentioned to try to swing independents. Do you really think theres anybody who doesnt know which one of these two people they like better . I mean, theyre so die diametriy opposed in every way other than the fact that theyre both old or white guys. Beyond that they pretty much disagree e on almost everything. Is it on the that there are independent people out there still who havent made up their mind or have people not made up their mind if theyre motivated enough to vote . Not sure if theyre paying attention. Until we get to labor day, unless youre living in the bubble, not a lot of people paying attention because they probably still dont know who joe biden is right now and how do you define him, what is the joe biden Bumper Sticker is. You know what Donald Trumps is. Whats the biden Bumper Sticker . Im a decent guy. Were not voting for a priest, were voting for a president. So people still dont know exactly what joe biden and Kamala Harris will bring to the table. There are independentses out there, and i mentioned polling, the lincoln project, as you know, is probably the most antitrump organization out there, and they even warn that trump voters are definitely undersampled. In other words, his support is definitely better than what the polls show. So, yeah, i think there absolutely are independents out there, melissa, particularly when it pertains to donald trump where they may not like the way he conducts himself, the way he tweets or some of the things he says, and theyre trying to weigh out do i like the result or am i petrified of the alternative in terms of higher taxes and unrest in our cities because joe biden isnt speaking out about law and order issues at least until yesterday anyway. So, yeah, i think there are enough people to be had especially in a close election as connells finding probably down in florida in those interviews. There probably are some people out there saying i still dont quite know yet. Melissa so as we wrap up the week of the rnc, it has been an incredibly wellproduced television program. Ive heard so many people who love the president , hate the president say it has been really well put together. For people who love President Trump, theyre in tears every night, they think its fantastic. Obviously, the people who dont like him and the democrats, i dont think theyre watching at all, how much what does that get the president . I mean, does it fire up his base, or do you think does it bring anyone new onboard . Probably brings some new folks gone board or those that, again, are thinking of do i leave President Trump because he may have said this, may have tweeted that but then they see him particularly tonight at the south lawn, the way thats going to play out from an optics perspective, it will look and sound president ial because if theres one thing this president knows, its how to put on a good production. You compare it, go back and watch, i did actually yesterday, the dnc and the way that was presented. That was homogenized zoom meeting, right . It didnt have the kind of energy that were seeing like we did with Vice President pence last night at fort mchenry, and it certainly wont when we see fireworks over the white house after the president speaks. Unlike the dnc, i think youll see a bounce for President Trump, and going into labor day in battleground states were going to see these two candidates tied with momentum behind President Trump because of coronavirus and the cases and deaths only getting better, going in the right direction, trending in the right direction. The economy, youve seen it, Goldman Sachs has the gdp going up 27 in the third quarter, basically racing what happened in q2 and again law and order in those cities. Who do you trust to make things better in that regard, joe biden whos barely talked about it or pump whos made it a central focus. Thats what the elections going to come down to. Melissa joe concha, thank you for your perspective. Connell well talk more about this coming up, melissa, joes talking about voters and whether theyve made up their minds. Not so much here in florida but definitely in wisconsin and other states, a lot of voters hadnt made up their mind on President Trump but not necessarily gone all the way to commit to joe biden. Again, more on that coming up. Here in florida were talking about the womens vote at the moment. Sure, this is a swing state, that could be a swing demographic within the state. The Trump Campaign is trying to make a big push in an area where the president has struggled in the polls. Well talk to the Florida Attorney general, ashley moody, about that and more.

Connell focusing for a moment here on female voters, in addition to the president , ivanka trump is among those expected to speak tonight at the Republican Conventions final evening. The campaign has been emphasizing what they see as the positive impact of the president s policies for women. Theyve been doing it throughout the week. Lets take a listen. When i look at my son luke and my daughter carolina, i wonder what sort of country will i be leaving for them, for our future generationses .

I want my daughter to grow up in president donald j. Trumps america. Connell here now to talk more about this, ashley moody, attorney general here in the state of florida. Good to have you on and thank you for joining us. Great to be with you. Connell on this topic, a poll on the screen and you can react to poll for what its worth. The last numbers i saw had joe biden trailing President Trump in florida. I know Hillary Clinton, you know, female candidate was 7 i believe in the final analysis in 2016. President trump ended up winning the state. If bidens doing better, you know, every vote counts in a state like this. Whats the message for women voters in florida . Elections will come down to gut feelings of moms. You know, when i ran for attorney general, i knew what needed to be done in terms of law and order. I was a former prosecutor, a judge for over a decade and the wife of a Law Enforcement officer, but the things i talked about were things that were going to affect my children, and i have an Elementary School student right now. Moms want to know, number one, that there is going to be safety, security and stability for their children to grow up in a community that is safe. You know, if you want economic prosperity, if we want to rebound fundamentally, we have to make sure people feel safe in their communities. And thats what this convention has done such a good job at, is reinforcing what moms need to know, first and foremost, that their communities and their children are going to be safe places. Connell since the president s election in 2016, the evidence we have which is mostly, i guess, the midterms in 2018 and, granted, he wasnt on the ballot, republicans have struggled with suburban voters, especially women voters do you see evidence that this relatively new message, this focus on law and order that were seeing working with that group . And i dont i think its a mistake to say that for Campaign Purposes theyre focusing on law and order. President trump was the first president to put forward a president ial commission on Law Enforcement to address policing reforms, morale before this year. Im the attorney general, the only attorney general serving on that commission. Hes focused on making sure we address the ills that are plaguing our criminal justice system. He passed the first step act. So what youre hearing this week are a lot of detailed facts. The things hes gotten done, the accomplishments. What you didnt hear last week at the dnc was any form of accomplishment. It was singing, dancing, a lot of criticizing, criticizing the president , calling him names, criticizing this country. And what President Trump and the speakers this week have done is reinforce the fact that this is an amazing country. This is a wonderful mace to live and grow up place to live and grow up. Weve got to make sure that our leaders will end keepous will keep us safe and focus on how we can improve because we are always striving to be a more perfect union. Connell i will say weve been out in five swing states in two weeks, and as youre speaking, a woman i spoke to in North Carolina pops to mind. She voted democrats in many elections, you know . The violence in the cities was something of concern to her, and she thought shed vote for the president this time around. At the same time, we have run into voters, many of whom say theyre undecided in other swing states, who have soured on the president personally. You dont like his style or you dont like, you know, his rhetoric. What do you say to those voters . Because many of them have been women as well. You know, just this week weve had at a Police Station rioters with boards and rebar and quick dry cement try to trap Police Officers in a precinct while other rioters tried to set fire. If your commander in chief does not come out and call for safety and the stability and security of our cities, they should not be commander in chief. And so you need to is can yourself ask yourself who do you want in charge of running the executive branch of this nation. I can tell you as a mother, as someone who has spent my life in Public Service to safety, thats President Trump. Connell ashley moody, the state a. G. Here in florida ahead of the speeches from President Trump and, as we said, ivanka trump as well. Thank you. We appreciate you coming on. Melissa .

We need somebody thats going to to take care of us, take care of the pandemic and put taxes back the way they were and tax corporations and tax people that have of money. My taxes would go up, and we need to pay a fair amount of taxes so we can take care of everybody. Connell a little bit of everything from the voters. Pandemic is no doubt a big issue here in the jacksonville area as we come to you on a muggy thursday afternoon. Its been a lot of fun to get out and speak to these voters, a lot more time to talk about it tonight other democracy 2020 coverage comes your way at 8 p. M. Eastern time. Ill be live from jacksonville, and then the president s speech later. As we wrap up from here in jacksonville and really wrap up the five states that weve been in over the last two weeks, i would say this, melissa, that joe concha, to go back to an earlier point we had this hour, got a lot of it right, at least in my estimation, when he was talking about those voters. Because everybody keeps saying, oh, the elections about trump, its a referendum on trump. What weve seen from voters is if theyre undecided, that referendum has come and gone. Theyve decided on trump, and some not huge fans. What weve found though is some is have not yet made the leap to joe biden for one reason or another. Something to watch in the next few months. Melissa i want to send that taxloving lady my tax bill. Youre doing a great job. See you tonight. Lou dobbs tonight starts lou good evening, everybody. The Republican National convention tonight concludes with President Trump formally accepting his partys nomination. President trump to focus heavily on his vision for america during his second term and how that compares to the radical ideas and plans of china joe biden and the radical dems. In excerpts of the president s speech, he says this, quote at no time before have voters faced a clearer choice between two parties, two visions, two philosophies or two agendas. We have spent the last four years,
