Us and Edward Lawrence in d. C. Grady, we heard from the president at the roundtable. Youre on the move from the outside. What is the latest from kenosha . Reporter a lot of supporters for the president were here this afternoon and got a glimpse of him as his motorcade went by. They largely thinned out, is a handful of protesters here in the park as well as at the courthouse. This is the backdrop to the president s visit today. He toured the damage, met with local Business Owners, several of whom lost everything in the rioting of last week. He also had that roundtable with Law Enforcement officials. He thanked them for their help. He offered help to other cities like portland and announced one Million Dollars to the Kenosha Police department and 42 million to Law Enforcement agencies across wisconsin. He praised them for their work here, getting a handle on the situation in kenosha. Listen. President trump these gentlemen did a fantastic job working with the federal government. It was really great. Once we said, lets go, that was the end of it. Unfortunately they had a few days when people wouldnt call us. They didnt want to have us come in. Reporter there were worries that the president s visit would cause tensions to flare today. That really did not happen from what we saw. We saw supporters and protesters getting into it, arguing, shouting. I would describe it as tense but all in all peaceful except there was one this one moment where we saw a protester throw water at one of the Trump Supporters but that was really the only instance of anything that escalated from just arguing. The president also announced today, that he plans to speak with the pastor of jacob blakes family. He also said that he wants to speak with jacob blakes mother in the coming days. Connell . Connell live now to congressman ryan style. Republican out of wisconsin, represents the kenosha area and the congress, has been traveling with the president throughout the day, continues to do so. I believe you guys are making your way out of town. Im told congressman styles was calling in to us on the phone, the phone call dropped. He was and is in the president s motorcade. So that is why maybe we have a little bit after connection problem. Well take a second. I am sure well get him back on the phone, but melissa has more right now. Melissa meanwhile treasury secretary Steve Mnuchin testifying before Congress Today as covid19 relief talks remain at an impasse. Edward lawrence is in washington with the details on that. Edward . Reporter melissa, treasury secretary Steve Mnuchin blasted by House Democrats on capitol hill saying that he should come up to where House Speaker nancy pelosi is for the good of americans and the United States economy. Now representative Maxine Waters says that the blame game just isnt working for the struggling americans. Listen. We have 100 billion in the heroes act for rental assistance. Please, please, get back to the negotiating table. Forget all of this name blame mess reporter mnuchin reminded democrats actually House Speaker nancy pelosi who doesnt want to break out those things that have already sort of been agreed upon. Both sides agree should happen. Work on harder stuff later. He believes that mnuchin, believes they should pass Paycheck Protection Program further helping Small Businesses allowing 131 billion left over in the pot to be targeted to the hardest hit sectors like hotels, travel, entertainment. Mnuchin says both sides agree on expanded Unemployment Benefits and direct checks to americans and money to schools. He said they would like to work out the rest, big Sticking Point of direct payments to states later. House speaker deputy chief of staff tells me that is not accurate that both sides agreed on funding levels. Democrats repeatedly compromised in these negotiations. We offered to come down 1. 2 trillion. We welcome the white house back to the negotiating table but they must meet us in the middle. For mnuchin this is all about two things, jobs and kids. Republicans on the House Committee saying that democrats are holding back at least one of those things. Listen. Is it fair to say if democrat governors would let people go back to work in their states we would probably have less unemmoment . I believe there is no question that the reason we have unemployment is that certain states are not opening up and that there are issues. Obviously some of that has to be balanced with the medical issues appropriately but we would expect unemployment to drop significantly between now and the end of the year. Reporter mnuchin he expects to talk to House Speaker nancy pelosi on the phone. Last communication between the two sides was last week. Back to you. Melissa edward, thank you so much. Lets go back over to connell to see if that phone connection is working now. Connell . Connell right. I dont know about pelosi and mnuchin but we hope to speak to congressman brian style, traveling with the president on the way out of kenosha, wisconsin. I mentioned congressman, when i introduced you you were with the president throughout the day. A lot of controversy. Democrats, governor, said he shouldnt go to ken. He did. You were with him. How did it go with your perspective . Want to thank the men and women in the Law Enforcement community who helped restore Public Safety to the city of kenosha. The president coming in making the statement he did on wednesday enough is enough. Were going to put an end to the violence, to the criminal activity, well restore Public Safety is terrific. He is healing the city and were in the process of rebuilding kenosha and making it stronger than ever. Connell we talk all the time on our program about Small Business, we see pictures of the president visiting earlier with local residents. So many Small Businesses in the area were hit hard by protests and looting. The president committing four Million Dollars for Small Business in wisconsin. How is the rebuilding for those folks going . This is where your heart really aches. When you talk to the men and women whose businesses, whose places of employment were damaged or burned to the ground, this is what it is going to take to rebuild. Today to the city of kenosha begins that process. Well look to build on that at the state and local level, with the entrepreneurs themselves, to rebuild back these businesses. Make sure people have jobs to go back to. And then we need to continue to grow and strengthen in the community of kenosha. Again we need kenosha stronger than ever before. The president committing his federal resources to that today was a great first step. Connell now the state of wisconsin as we learned is so split politically. The area in kenosha is quite diverse i understand it as well. How, from your own constituents and people you hear from is the president s message, that law and order message selling or resonating . I can tell you were driving right now out of the city of kenosha, going through Kenosha County and the support is overwhelmingly the number of people standing on the side of the road thanking the president for coming to the city of kenosha. Thanking him for the federal resources that were brought to bear to restore Public Safety to the city of kenosha. I dont think it is political as much as it shows the leadership of making sure were getting resources to the local Law Enforcement so they can provide Public Safety here in the community of kenosha. Connell feel like the worst is behind you now, congressman . I feel confident that we have restored Public Safety as really getting into wednesday when federal resources came to the city. They commitment. The criminal element i think has left the city. Now were focused on maintaining that Public Safety in the days, weeks, months and years ahead. The president committed resources to the local Law Enforcement here in kenosha for the long term to maintain that Public Safety. And now i think it is really the opportunity for the city to begin to rally and rebuild and come back stronger than ever. Connell as a final point, congressman, what would you say about the shooting of jacob blake itself . We didnt hear as much about that today. Senator johnson spoke about it. The president didnt meet with the blake family when he was there. What are your views on now having had time to think and certainly review the video and do some thinking about what happened there about what went wrong, what maybe should happen with the officers involved . What is your views on the shooting that led to the protest. The video is a very difficult video to watch. It is under the investigation by the Wisconsin Department of justice. We need to let the facts play out now and i think justice will ultimately prevail. Connell okay. Do you think the officer at this point is enough for arrests to be made . Youre saying we need to wait a little longer on that . I think the key is to let all the facts come out, let the investigation that is being completed by the Wisconsin Department of justice be completed and then let justice follow the facts. Make sure we have you will at facts and let justice follow the facts. Connell congressman bryan style represents kenosha in wisconsin, literally traveling with the president in the president ial motorcade after a day in kenosha. Melissa. Melissa lets go to Jackie Deangelis with more on the markets right now. Reporter good afternoon to you, melissa. I want to take a look where we settled out. The dow closed up by 215 points. It is now back in positive territory 2020. So that is important to note. The gains on the s p 500 and nasdaq, as you mentioned those are all new records as well. On the s p 500 it was its 21st record close. For the nasdaq it is its 42nd record close. You have momentum about reopening and progress in washington impacting these markets but general optimism overall. On the dow we saw technology, like apple fueling the ral hi. But also walmart and sales force were the days winners as well. Want to finish on apple. After splitting four for one yesterday. You can see apple closed at 134. 18. It hit an intraday alltime high. Didnt keep it at the close but still up 4 . Back to you. Melissa jackie, thank you for that. Connell . Connell we talked, melissa, about wisconsin. Also portland were covering. 96 Straight Days of unrest in that city. Hundreds of protesters flooding the streets overnight in portland. The Trump Administration delivering a new warning to officials. Were on the scene there. That report is coming up. Seeking to convince pivotal swing state voters, democratic president ial nominee joe biden appears to be flipflopping on a key economic issue that is really, really important in a key swing state. New york citys mayor bill de blasio touting a new deal with the citys biggest Teachers Union which was able to avert a looming strike. Well be right back. Eased risk for shingles. The pain, the burning my husband had to do everything for weeks. And the thing is, theres nothing you can do about it [camera man] well, shingles can be prevented. Shingles can be whaaat . [camera man] prevented. You can get vaccinated. Frank they have shingles vaccines whaaat . Thats what i said. Were taking you to the doctor. Not going through that again. [camera man] you can also get it from your pharmacist talk to your doctor or pharmacist about getting vaccinated. Connell now joe biden hitting back at President Trump. The democratic nominee slamming the president on violence and u. S. Cities, also denying woe ban fracking if he were elected president. Hillary vaughn live in washington with the details on all of this. Hillary. Reporter connell, really democratic nominee joe biden is the one sending these mixed messages to voters. On the debate stage while standing next to progressive Bernie Sanders, joe biden picked himself as someone who is antifracking but yesterday talking to pennsylvania voters it was his position, was that he does not support a ban on fracking. I am not banning fracking. Let me say that again. I am not banning fracking. No matter how many times donald trump lies about me. Would there be any place for fossil fuel including coal and fracking in a Biden Administration . No. We would, we would work it out. We would make sure it is eliminated and no more sub sip disfor either one of those. Anybody can go down 3,000 feet in a mine sure can learn how to program as well. Give me a break. Anybody that can throw coal into a furnace can learn how to program. Reporter the Trump Campaign calling this is a flipflop on fracking but bidens campaign is denying their candidate contradicted himself. Theyre betting on the fact when biden says he is against fracking voters understand he is really okay with some of it, when biden says he wont ban fracking, voters know that he means he wont ban all of it. Today here is where the Campaign Says biden stands. No fracking on federal lands and ending new oil and gas leases on public lands. Natural Gas Production on federal land makes up 13 of all natural Gas Production. These are, there arent specific breakdowns of what bidens plan would do to the oil and gas industry with his piecemeal approach but a fracking ban entirely, including halting federal land leases would cause major losses in revenue and jobs. A ban would take 1. 3 trillion out of gdp in 2020 alone and take 1. 75 million jobs with it, and a lot of jobs in battleground states why biden on the trail, not straightforward on issue. Florida, 700,000 jobs. In pennsylvania and ohio, over half a million jobs rely on that industry. Connell . Connell yep, pennsylvania as you say. Those other states as well. Hillary vaughn thank you. Melissa. Melissa all right. Here now to discuss all this is James Freeman from the wall street journal. He is assistant editor of the editorial page and he is also a fox news contributor. So, james, just for the record, listen closely to this and tell me if it sounds like a contradiction. Go ahead, play it. Would there be any place for fossil fuels including coal and fracking in a Biden Administration . No. We would, we would work it out. We would make sure it is eliminated and no sore subsidies for either one of those. No more, no new fracking. I am not banning fracking. Let me say that again, i am not banning fracking, no matter how many times donald trump lies about me. Melissa im confused. Or he is confused. Someone is confused. What do you think . So i guess lying about joe biden means playing tapes of joe biden saying what he claims he doesnt say. You know, you can look at this and say, he is sort of a typical politician. Biden, longtime washington swamp creature, trying to have it both ways. I think it is actually the fact that swum happened a successful convention is forcing biden to at least sound moderate or more moderate. Youve seen that with yesterdays speech, finally begrudgingly coming out of the basement and condemning violence and now with this, trying to straddle the fracking issue, biden had been kind of moving left for months is now seeing a threat and really i think is being forced to at least rhetorically move to the middle. Melissa so, i mean i would say this isnt like the normal campaign flipflop or campaign lie where politicians say one thing, do another, i expected that. These are peoples lives and a lot of peoples lives. Yeah. Melissa because it is not like he is saying i may vote this way on this. Banning fracking or as he said, before that he was going to go to no fossil fuels by, he changed the timeline a couple times but you know, went along with Different ThingsBernie Sanders says, if he is telling the truth about banning these things, it means a lot of different jobs, kind of the same way anyone if you can throw coal into a furnace, if you can go down in the ground, sort of dismissing those jobs as meaningless, you know, that you can code at the same time reminds me of this clip. Let me play this one for you, james. Were going to put a lot of coal miners and Coal Companies out of business. Melissa so that is another one where, she said she just misspoke but it had a big impact because she is talking about taking away peoples jobs . Yeah, im glad you played that clip or a guess couple of clips biden saying instead of Traditional Energy you can be a Software Programmer because these are not just offhand remarks. This is really the heart of his massively expensive, two trillion plus proposal to move us out of the Carbon Economy into a alternative energy economy. The whole premise of this plan is that were going to move people from producing fossil fuels into other jobs and i think people will find, if they get moved against their will, those jobs generally outside the oil and Gas Industries dont pay as well as the jobs they used to have in the oil and gas industry but to say that now having laid out all of his plans to move us out of the fossil fuel economy, he really doesnt mean it, i think it is going to be a stretch. He got into this debate where part of what he is saying that trump is saying his plan will kill more jobs actually at stake, i dont know if that is the argument biden wants to be having. I wont kill as many jobs in pennsylvania as trump says i will. Melissa yeah. And it also, you know, even if you dont have a job in this industry, weve seen the price of energy come down so low with fracking came this Energy Independence from the middle east. There are a lot of other issues at hand here as well, right . Like security and like, i mean fracking is a lot cleaner than a lot of other types of energy. I will give you the last word on those thoughts. Yeah, absolutely. Natural gas if youre highly concerned about climate it is definitely cleaner than a lot of other options including coal but you raise a great point, the American Energy revolution which has given us this independence and really has fueled our economy, a lot of, that was largely the only job creating force during the obamaBiden Administration, this revolution that kind of happened against their wishes, where they tried to stop it in some ways. They couldnt, but it has been an amazing gift to the u. S. And the World Economy and also a big disinflationary force. Cheap fuel has allowed prices generally to be restrained which is freight for consumers. Melissa all the way around. James, thank you for clearing that up. We appreciate it. Connell .

Connell back now to treasury secretary Steve Mnuchin who did testify before a house panel on the coronavirus today, this is talks of a new Economic Relief package remain at a standstill. While we continue to see signs of a strong economic recovery we are sensitive to the fact more work to be done. Certain areas of the economy require additional relief. We will continue to work with the senate and house on a bipartisan basis for phase four relief package. I believe a bipartisan agreement still should be reached. Connell joining us now republican congressman blaine luke mire, from missouri, select subcommittee on coronavirus. Congressman, you had a hearing today, but from everything we can pick up, well see if secretary mnuchin, Speaker Pelosi speak on the phone, whatever happens from here, from everything we pick up the two sides are still far apart on another round of stimulus. How far apart do you think they are or you guys are . Well it, you would be correct, connell. I think were pretty good ways. We started at 3 trilliondollars with the republican proposal from the senate and Democrat Bill came out of the house over 3. 4 trillion, i believe it was. It was a pretty big gap to try to come together on but i think, you know, it seems to hinge on the state and local extra funding that the democrats continue to push for. I think if you saw in the hearing today, there were a lot of things that were not discussed about the way the administration handled the pandemic, how things are going with the Financial Relief that treasury secretary oversaw, yet this was one issue they kept pounding on coming back around to, over and over again, state and local funding. It would seem to me that is the Sticking Point, really from even mnuchins comments today, that is where the problem is apparently. So i think a lot of the rest of it, he made the comment himself, many times, numerous times today, there is bipartisan support on a lot of different points. Why dont we work on those things, let the rest of the other problems work themselves out down the road . We take care of what we can do today and move forward. There doesnt seem to be a willingness at this point. Connell local issues, or sorry to interrupt, congressman, the issues you bring up the secretary pointed out there was agreement on, Paycheck Protection Program, ppp, agreement there, direct checks, there is agreement there enhances Unemployment Benefits, according to secretary agreement there and money on schools reopening, would fit into a little bit of the state and local issue, when state and local governments need, some of that is for schools reopening. You slice out a portion of that, get that part of it done, get the government that money if youre not getting other funds . That is the i asked with regard to money for hospitals, nursing homes. Testing is very, very expensive. Nursing homes have to test enormous amount and they need to be reimbursed for that. Those funds need to come from someplace to be helpful, keep them going. The same with hospitals. So i think that you know, there is areas like that that we can agree that need to be, through no fault of their own those industries are hurt. They need extra funds. The schools, a lot of them opened now, you know, theyre all being cut back because most of them are state funded. You know, they dont have the funds to, theyre not receiving funds from the states because the states dont have them either. That is good way for us to relief some of the burden from the states. Direct payments to those entities in a bill. We want to find a way to be helpful. Melissa you know how it is with these things from congress. Someone watching at home. They pick out the issue they care about. I dont really care about all this other stuff. I have child in school, i need money for cleaning so they can go to school, whatever the issue in the local community. The bottom line question, when will you actually get something done . Do you have any sense . Is it a week, more, drag into the fall, some piecemeal . What do you think will actually happen . I dont know. I dont have a crystal ball to give you a good answer on that, connell. I know the speaker and the administration are talking i think pretty regularly behind the scenes. That seems to be a comment that came out today from the secretarys discussion, there are some discussions going on behind the scenes but there doesnt seem to be as Much Movement as they would like to see. I think that if you come together on those things that we agree on, i think within a couple weeks well have a bill put together, to have relief. Various industries and individuals being negatively impacted right now. If you want a big package to include state and local money there, that apparently its a hankup, its a big hangup on our side of the aisle how it is done. That will be a long time to get something done. We have to do a piecemeal basis to get something done which can be done pretty quickly. Connell maybe next week on the narrow bill weve been talking about. Thank you, congressman Blaine Luetkemeyer from missouri. Melissa 96 days of unrest in portland. Sheriffs from two neighboring oregon counties will not send in officers to help subdue the violence. Fox newss matt fin in portland with the latest. Reporter melissa, today the president , the acting secretary of the department of Homeland Security are slamming portlands mayor here insisting that the mayor asked for federal help end the unrest in this city as it inches closer to the 100 day mark of the unrest. A short while ago the president insisted that the federal government is ready and willing to help and in portland. Were tired of watching every night with portland, night 104 now, were tired of watching it, because it could be solved in an hour. Were tired of watching a mayor that has no clue whats going on.

Melissa she joined after the bell last month to discuss her historic restaurant to stay afloat. If the ban on Indoor Dining continues in new york city, what will it mean for restaurants during the winter months . She is back with us now. Thank you so much for joining us. You know, i thought of Restaurant Owners like yourself when i opened the post this morning and it showed the line down the street in new york between just one block, two different blocks in new york, one is in one county, one is the other. One allowed to have Indoor Dining, the other isnt. How frustrating is it to you to hear about other places around the state and new jersey where theyre letting people go inside and youre not able to do that . It is extremely frustrating and i just want to make sure that everyone understands that is not as though were demanding that to open tomorrow. We have want the simplest thing. We need a plan. We need a plan so we as an industry know how we need to prepare for the winter months. Business definitely picked up with the outdoor dining. Again, we normally have about 36 tables outside. We only have about 13. So you can imagine. Melissa wow. It is better than nothing but we need to, we need to at least know so that we can prepare and understand what our new norm is going to look like. Melissa yeah it is very frustrating. We heard the mayor saying that he has no idea when Indoor Dining may come back. He says, maybe, might be next year. Meanwhile the metric that he had originally said we met all of them. The new infection rate has been under 1 almost a month. Everything we were told we would need to do in order for Indoor Dining to has happened and all other businesses have reopened. Theyre allowing gyms to reopen. The schools are going back although that is a stutter start. Yeah. Yeah. It is really frustrating because when you see our counterparts 100yards away in yonkers, if you cross the street, you can dinein but if youre on the opposite side of the street that means youre in new york city, you cant dine in. What were asking for are some scientific facts and some proof as to why new york is being singled out not to have Indoor Dining be allowed for us when others all around us are doing it. Nassau county and now new jersey our neighbors will be able to have Indoor Dining as soon as friday. So it is extremely frustrating to how our staff families with not knowing when things are going to in fact get better. Melissa yeah. I mean this is, it is not about new yorkers being able to eat inside. It is about the idea that these are working people. Right. Melissa the people he is keeping out of work, these are people, restaurant is one of the Biggest Industries in new york city. One of the big reasons why people come. There are so many people that are creative and artistic, go into the restaurant business, and this is their dream. They work their tails off morning, noon and night, whether you own the restaurant or you work inside of it. These are just not rich people. Theyre working people he is really hurting. It is so frustrating. Would you consider joining there is a classaction lawsuit from Restaurant Owners. Would you consider getting involved in Something Like that .

M. Eastern on friday as the state enters phase three. So lucky them, maryland. Everything back open. Throw open the doors. Connell. Connell all right. Different in new york city which weve been talking about, and today we found out the city is delaying the start of inperson learning in its School System. This came after the Teachers Union had threatened to strike over safety concerns. Live to laura ingle with the very latest on that. Laura. Reporter hey, guys. This was never going to be a onesizefitsall plan. Youve got 1. 1 Million School children in new york city, and thats been an experience for everyone involved as the schools decide how to send back kids and teachers safely in the smartest way possible. So today a little revision. Even though plans had been made to go forward with a blended learning plan, mixing remote and inperson learning together on september 10th, not everyone had been comfortable and onboard with that which caused the a head of the United Federation of teachers to call for a possible strike to delay the start. Now this morning new york city mayor bill de blasio announced the citied had reached an agreement with the union to delay the full start of the school year until september 21st and give schools, students and Health Care Work time. Teachers report to their classrooms on the 8th to prepare, students will start Remote Learning on the 16th, then the hybrid plan will start the 21st. So that is the plan moving forward. Well see how it works. Maybe pencil it in if youre in new york city, but they hope this will really be the plan moving forward. Back to you. Connell yep. They were pushing for more time, well see if that does it, september 21st. Thank you, laura, live in new york with that story for us. As we wrap things up today, well keep following all of these reopenings as they come in from the various states, plus melissa mentioned a moment ago marylands moving full speed ahead. Thatll be all the businesses opening there. Anyway, thanks for joining us. We will see you back here at the same time tomorrow with another edition of after the bell.
