Places need any kind of security, we are going to make we need a president who sure they have the resources to brings people of all faith do that. Together to tackle our challenges, rebuild our country and restore our humanity. Chris the president tweeted this yesterday, i want to put it up on the screen. Chris we will talk with the deep state, or whoever, at member and senator chris coons. And we will ask our sunday panel fda, is making it very difficult after the democrats big show for Drug Companies to get people what republicans need to do this in order to test the vaccines and therapeutics. Week. But you know the president is plus, our power players of the holding a press conference this evening with the head of the fda week. Read my lips. God bless america. To announce, with untold, a chris a look back from big major breakthrough on moments from g. O. P. Conventions therapeutics, so why is he past. All right now on tweeting out that some people at fox news sunday. The fda, the deep state at the fda is trying to hurt him and delay any kind of scientific and hello again from fox news in progress till after the election . Mark we are not going to cut corners in any kind of washington. Congressional democrats have spent the days since their research we can do but what we will do is cut the red tape and convention passing a bill to with the president was provide billions more for the specifically addressing was something that ive been Postal Service before a flood of involved with over the last mailin balloting ahead of the three or four weeks, a real november election. Frustration with some of the but theres been no progress on bureaucrats to think that they can just do this the way they normally do it. Extending Unemployment Benefits for americans thrown out of work we are facing unprecedented by the covid crisis. Times, which require and tomorrow, republicans kick unprecedented action. Off their convention with an in this president s right to call it out and i can tell you that person roll call of delegates in the announcement thats coming today should have been made charlotte. In a moment we will talk several weeks ago. It was a fumble by a number of people in the federal government but first, lets bring in that should have done it kevin corke with a look at what republicans hope to accomplish differently when having been personally involved with it, this week. A at the Democrats Convention sometimes you have to make them they welcomed a mixture of feel the heat if they dont see voices, the parties bring to the light. I applaud the president for putting out the tweet and i can party royalty, even if you republicans dont into the mix tell you its not just on the announcement thats coming but sources tell fox news not to today. Expect anything like that at the there are other actions that need to be taken to make sure that we get the protections for rnc. Gone are familiar faces like the American People quickly, mitt romney, george w. Bush and safely, and securely, and we will do that, but its only with paul ryan, all of them declining to take part in the festivities. The unrelenting pressure of the instead, youll see new faces president to make sure that gets like alice johnson. Of course she was previously done. Chris sorry to interrupt, incarcerated and pardoned by the ive got a minute left. President at the behest of one last question. Kim kardashian west. Other folks like the mccloskeys the president was asked this week about qanon, a conspiracy of st. Louis and the former covington, kentucky, high school theory group that the fbi has student all expected to take part. Called a domestic terror threat. A bit of a cavalcade of nonpoliticos, outsiders if you will. All there to back the ultimate he was the president said he was thankful for the support of people in qanon, which led to insider, that of course being the sitting president of the United States. A lot of topics they will get to we suspect including mailin this exchange. This belief that you are balloting, something the secretly saving the world from president will likely lead to this satanic cult of and coronavirus spending bill, cannibals. Possible bill will be another topic. Does that something that you are as you probably saw on saturday, the house voted to give the behind . Well, i havent heard that, but is that supposed to be a bad post office 25 billion to assist in what could be a deluge thing or a good thing . Of mailin ballots. There were more than two dozen chris you can end this republicans that actually joined controversy right now. S ranks with the house speaker, nancy pelosi and the democrats. He condemn qanon . But there is one other topic mark well listen, we dont that you probably didnt hear a even know what it is. Lot about and that is a meeting i can tell you youve spent more that didnt happen with the time talking on it than we have in the white house. White house chief of staff, i find it appalling that the mark meadows. He tried to have a conversation media, one we have all of the with nancy pelosi about a important things that are going possible coronavirus spending on, a list of top 20 as of the bill. A lot of people still hurting out there, but the speaker was first question at a press too busy to talk. Briefing would be about qanon chris. That i actually google its chris kevin corke reporting from the white house. Kevin, thank you. Not a central part of what the joining us now, white house chief of staff mark meadows. President is talking about. I dont even know if its credible. Congressman, welcome back to fox news sunday. Chris its not my first mark great to be with you, question. Its my last question. Thanks so much. Mark youre bringing it up chris lets start with the and its ridiculous. If we want to talk about breaking news, and that is that conspiracy, lets get back to the Washington Post is reporting on tapes of the talking about how the fbi and others within the fbi president s sister, maryanne trump, saying things like this chris wait, wait. About her brother. Lets put them up on the screen. Ive got 30 seconds here. He has no principles, none. If the change of stories, the the point is its a hate group, its a group that is called by lack of preparation, the lying. The fbi it domestic the fbi, what is the president s reaction domestic terror threat. To those comments and the fact mark this president is not for heat so i can tell you if that apparently the president s its a hate group, lets look at niece, mary trump, secretly taped marianne trump . Domestic terrorism and look at antifa and a number of other mark i think the president areas and quit spending time on has already spoke to that come another day, another political something that 81 of attack. Republicans dont even know what i find interesting is any youre talking about. Family member that would chris i will just add, the secretly tape 15 hours of a only reason that people keep conversation with somebody, asking this because we didnt get an answer like you did just obviously to promote an agenda, now. Shes been very vocal in her thank you, sir. Mark ill be glad to give support for joe biden. You an answer. This is really a sad day. Here is what we have to do, i dont see it as a legitimate sister. Thing we have to address and so i was hopeful to meet her at the we are not going to address it. Funeral for his brother the we are going to talk about other day, but you couldnt come things that are important to the American People. Out of that tribute to his chris thank you sir. We will watch what happens at brother without really recognizing the love and the g. O. P. Convention this week compassion that the president had for his brother and his and the message that the president and all of you send to the American People, thank you, family. But we will also look at this. Sir. Ive next we will turn to a a number of the accusations that member of the biden inner circle are being made ive been able to to discuss the democratic witness up close and personal convention and what promises to and they are just not true. The president is not only be all rough fall campaign. Stock slices. Wellprepared, but reads so much that it causes me to have to read many times well into the night to catch up with him. For as little as 5, now anyone can own companies in the s p 500, go ahead, chris, sorry. Even if their shares cost more. Chris is just going to at 5 a slice, you could own Ten Companies for 50 say, specifically she talks about his character, marianne trump on these tapes. Instead of paying thousands. She says he has no principles. All Commission Free online. She says that he lies. Schwab stock slices an easy way to start investing what the president s reaction to or to give the gift of stock ownership. That . Mark hes already spoken to that. I can tell you the principle he has is he loves his country, is part of his country, proud of the American People that actually make up this country and hes willing to sacrifice everything, even the personal come on in, were open. Attacks that come each and every sunday against this president. I dont know who would wantnt e principle of loving the country as much as he does. All we do is hand you the bag. Simple. Done. I get to see its close its we adapt and we change. A great benefit. You know, you just figure it out. When we look about what he talks weve just been finding a way to keep on pushing. About, he talks about the promises that hes made, the people that its affected and ultimately the prospect of a brighter future, because of his actions. And hes going to continue, regardless of the attacks, to make sure that he delivers on behalf of the American People. Chris all right, well lets get to the politics and off the family soap opera. President trump is sharply critical of joe biden and his message at the Democratic Convention. Take a look. If you entrust me with the presidency, i will draw on the best of us, not the worst. I will be an ally of the light, not the darkness. The democrats out the darkest theyve really stood the test of time. And angriest and gloomiest much like these majestic rocky mountains. Convention in american history. Which must be named after the. That would be rocky the flying squirrel, mr. Gecko sir. Chris it is true the democrats criticized the way the president has handled the obviously coronavirus and the economy and ahh come on bullwinkle, theyre named after. Our first president george rockington race, but when biden talks about being an ally of the lights, how was that dark or angry . That doesnt even make any sense. Mr. Uhh. Winkle. Geico. Over 75 years of savings and service. Listen, you couldnt have watched any of that without considering it dark. I think most of the pundits that are out there would have said that it was a dark, really focused on President Trump. This president will focus on the American People. This week coming up and when we look at it, you know, listen, that speech that joe biden gave was very much like a speech that he had given in 2008, but this is not about speeches. Joe biden has been in office for over 40 years. Politicians give speeches, what were looking for is action. This president has shown action each and every day. Joe biden has barely passed two bills, one of which is trying to run away from because of the left and when we look at it, this president accomplished more in his first hundred days than joe biden did in the last 40 years. Its about action, this president is willing to do that. Youll see a real difference this week when we start focusing on people but the president s policy has actually affected. Mr. Uhh. Winkle. Chris we are going to get to some issues. One more question on tone. It was a statement by the president this week, his messa chris our next guest has known joe biden for more than three decades and is one of his message. Im the only thing standing between the American Dream and closest allies in washington. Total anarchy, madness, and joining is known for moving chaos. Delaware, senator chris coons. Welcome back to chris congressman, some fox news sunday. People would say thats a pretty senator coons thanks, dark and angry message. Chris, great to be on with you again. Chris republicans say the one of the things theyre going mark we dont have to look to hit at this convention, at any further than the streets across the country to see whats their convention, i think the happening. Democrats didnt talk about this supposedly peaceful protests that are now being classified as last week at their convention. Riots. And this president is the only here is President Trump on the issue of urban violence. Thing standing between that and anarchy. But heres what it is, its if you want a vision of your about defending the police. Life under biden presidency, its about making sure that we think of the smoldering ruins in fund them properly, not defund minneapolis, the violent anarchy them. Its about making sure that they have the tools to restore law of portland, the bloodstained and order and keep safe communities. If this is all about safeties, whether its in the cities or sidewalks of chicago. Chris why didnt joe biden the suburbs, we need to make sure that we support it. Talk about the alarming spike of violence in our cities . Senator coons well, chris, what we heard from joe biden this president has never equivocated in that matter and we need to do it. Thursday night was an inspiring, we were on the phone yesterday energetic, hopeful and uplifting talking about how we can assist speech. Portland and the governor there. In response to press inquiries over recent weeks, hes made it you know, they dont want to help, but we continue to see day clear he doesnt support in, day out, things that come defunding the police and he doesnt support violent across the screen that are just protests. What he does embrace is the tens appalling. Chris im going to ask the of millions of americans of all senator in a moment about all backgrounds who have taken to that but i want to ask you about the streets in peaceful protest some issues on your plate. The house yesterday passed a over recent months speaking to bill to give the post office the long unaddressed issues of Racial Injustice and inequality 25 billion more to end any of in our country. The operational changes. All of this to make sure that chris but senator, we are people will be able to vote not talking about protests here. We are not talking but defunding the police, we are talking about reliably, safely, securely by mail in the november election. Crime and let me put up some why would the president say hes very troubling numbers. Going to be to that . Chicago has seen a 50 increase in homicides this year. Mark your premise is not in new york, murders are up 30 . Correct. The 25 billion largely in portland, there have been often violent protests, protests messaging bill, because its going absolutely nowhere, has that become violent for 86 nothing to do with voting. Straight days. It has everything to do with a police there have declared riots at least 13 times. Heres how i know. Because in the privacy of the why does joe biden think its negotiating room, i offered happening and what will he do as president to stop it . 10 billion, plus reforms for the Postal Service that senator coons well, three things, chris. Actually theyve been asking for for a long time. Joe biden is someone with a long Speaker Pelosi and Chuck Schumer record of supporting appropriate community policing. And when we offered that there was another thing that came just because joe biden and refom along with that. The postmaster general said he was willing to pay whatever policing to make it more just overtime that was needed to make and more appropriate in our sure that we deliver the mail on multiethnic, multifaith time, firstclass mail, which community, doesnt mean that they fail to support police. But second, in the city of includes mail in ballots. So it was not an issue three portland, sending and federal weeks ago. Heres what we do know. Law enforcement that was over the speaker said she wasnt willing to do anything piecemeal militarized and wasnt asked for and yet we have a piecemeal or welcomed by the mayor or the piece of legislation on a governor, helped accelerate saturday. Demonstrations that had become why didnt she come in and do enhanced unemployment . Violent riots. Why didnt you do support for frankly, as someone who was Small Businesses . Responsible for the second why didnt she come in and do largest Enforcement Agency in my state, i will say that there are money for education and situations in which federal Law Enforcement is welcome and day care . I mean, if we are going to be needed and situations, this was serious about this, lets get one of them, wort were frankly serious about in and hopefully what will happen is the republican senators will take this bill when it comes across. President trump send and federal they will amend it and actually Law Enforcement simply made things worse. I think the record of both address many of the things that joe biden and Kamala Harris in terms of community policing, rm pandemic responseright now in getting a handle on Violent Crime, is a great record for them to run on and more than and be able to get voting. Anything, their tone was optimistic, was unifying and as you just showed, President Trump has had a divisive angry tone that at times has a racial tinge. Another issue that republicans are going to hit democrats for. They say that it your Convention Last week, you ignored the threat from china. Here again is the president. China was never mentioned in any way, shape, or form. China will own our country if he gets elected. They will own our country and we are not going to let that happ happen. Chris now, mr. Trump hit china what that travel ban in january. He imposed stiff tariffs as part of trade negotiations. Joe biden routinely on the campaign trail dismisses the idea that china is serious competition, his praise, for the United States. They are going to say that joe biden is soft on china buried speech and nothing could be further from the truth. Lets be clear, what joe biden says on the campaign trail as he believes in us, he believes that the American People, the American Worker can outcompete china but he is very clear eyed about the threat and the challenge that china presents to the United States. Look, i have chris why didnt he say anything about it at the convention . Senator coons he has said a lot about it on the campaign trail and he has detailed plans for how to strengthen our Global Network of alliances to effectively stand up to china. Ill remind you, back in january and february as the pandemic was spreading around the world, it was donald trump who was saying positive things, cozying up to xi jinping and it was joe biden who was sounding the alarm bells about this pandemic. Donald trump, our president , failed to act responsibly as this pandemic was beginning to impact americans. Today we have five and a half million infected americans, 175,000 dead americans because of the bungled federal response. You cant simply blame china as a way to get our country out of this pandemic and the recession and the chaos thats resulted from President Trumps failed response. Chris let me pick up on the coronavirus,joe biden was al obviously be perhaps the biggest single issue in the campaign, and biden was asked on friday how far he would go to fight the coronavirus. Heres his answer. I would be prepared to do whatever it takes to save lives because we cannot get the country moving until we control the virus. So he decided to say shut it down . I would shut it down. I would listen to the scientis scientists. Chris joe biden is really prepared to shut down the country to shut down the economy again . Senator coons what joe biden said there was he will listen to Public Health experts. It will listen to dr. Fauci, he will listen to leaders from the nih and the cdc. Thats something that donald trump is demonstrably failed to do. Donald trump is like a man was lost on the highway and refuses to ask for directions. Worse, he has peddled quackery. He has advocated for Solutions Like hydroxychloroquine, which the fda has said not only dont work, but are harmful. If Public HealthOfficials Say that the only way forward, hes willing to do it. Hes willing to lead. Donald trump failed to confront this pandemic. Countries similar to ours like canada or japan, at similar stages of development have gotten a handle on this virus. The number of deaths, the impact on their economy, far less. What joe biden is showing his leadership and a willingness to trust science. Chris senator, ive got one minute left and i want to ask you one more question. Youve known joe biden, as ive said, i think for 4 30 four years, you are close to him politically, personally. No question, he delivered an effective speech on thursday night, but it was a prepared speech and he was reading from a teleprompter. Sometimes when he is speaking offthecuff gets tangled up in his words and sometimes he loses his train of thought. Why is that . Senator coons well, two things. One of the most inspiring moments of the entire convention was born Braden Harrington of concord, new hampshire, talked about how joe biden, who met him at an event, didnt just take a minute and smile and shake his hand, took them backstage, sat with him, talked with him, because they share, challenge, overcoming stuttering. Joe biden is someone whose heart is good, whos got deep empathy for others, who is rooted in his faith and who is motivated by care and concern for others. I wish i could say the same about our president and his uneven relationship with the truth, but when joe biden occasionally miss speaks as hes engaged and connecting with the American People, i know what his heart is motivating him to do, to fight to protect our health care, to fight to help us build our economy back better and to fight to save americas position in the world as a beacon of freedom. All of those are good instincts. Im happy to forgive the occasional stumble because i know where his heart is rooted. Chris senator, thank you. Thanks for joining us today. Always good to talk with you, sir. Senator coons thank you, chris. Chris up next we will bring in our sunday group to discuss the g. O. P. s turn in the political spotlight and how they plan to respond to the democra democrats. Chris coming up, democrats used their turn in the spotlight to attack President Trump. Its about winning the heart against the soul of america. Speeones been there for 47 years and now is going to cience, democracy, they are all on the ballot. Were joe biden sees american darkness i see american greatness. Chris joe biden and President Trump with two very different takes on what the democratic ticket is offering voters this november. Its time now for our sunday group, g. O. P. Strategist karl rove. Susan page of usa today. And fox news political analyst, juan williams. Carl, i talked with a Senior Trump Campaign official yesterday who said that while democrats spent much of their week talking about how bad the countrys situation is, how bad people should feel about it, that they want to give people permission to feel good about america, to feel proud about being americans. Question, how hard a sell is that when we have close to 175,000 dead from the virus and millions of people still unemployed . Well, look, its aspirational. 1932, Franklin Delano roosevelt did not give an acceptance speech that was downbeat, he gave one that was up and optimistic about the potential to overcome the great challenges that the country faced and i think that would be well advised for the Republican Convention to project what needs to be done to project a sense of optimism and a hope that if we pull together that these things can be achieved in the country can return to prosperity and return to a forward movement. This stage the Democratic Convention, im not sure it was deeply negative but it wasnt it was mostly with blaming President Trump for the coronavirus. He better focus on the future and tell people what happens in the next four years. Chris susan, im also told that republicans want to make this more of a traditional convention, more traditional speeches, more traditional videos, less of what they call a tv show. What do you think the republicans need to do this week . I think they need to do two things. They need to reassure the voters who put donald trump in the oval office in the first place that they made a good decision some of those voters are reluctant to vote for him again because of the coronavirus, because of the economic catastrophe that followed that. They need to do a second thing, which is make joe biden seem unacceptable to those voters in the middle. Joe biden now has the lead of eight or nine points nationally, that is a substantial, significantly. It not insurmountable one, so the task of bringing down joe biden as either someone who is weak or someone who was a captive of the partys left wing, that is the task i think that republicans face over the next four days. Chris juan, the trump cahi issues, some problems that they think the democrats largely ignored in their convention. Especially urban violence, which are just me discussing with the senator. How big an opening to democrats lead for the republicans by really failing to address whats going on in the streets of chicago and new york and portland in minneapolis . Well, chris, i think they had a successful convention because they spent time talking about the issues that Americans Care about, which is the virus, which is jobs, which is reopening schools. One President Trump focuses on that racially charged term, urban violence, i think hes trying to distract from his failure on those core issues by raising or stirring up racial tensions. Clearly what you have is a situation in those cities where you have a spike, spike, ill sa especially gangrelated, drugrelated crimes and of course you have fights between extremists in places like portland, but that doesnt speak to the overall issue. Overall crime is down in this country and i think people need to understand its down markedly from last year. Its down Violent Crime is down i believe like 50 from 30 years ago. So what trump is trying to do is hes trying to scare people, i think especially targeting suburbanites by saying hey, theres racial tensions and theres violence and it could spread to your areas. Hes even trying to do this on housing policy. Chris i may bring in karl. I think its fair to say that while it was generally perceived as a successful convention, joe biden was relatively light in talking about specific policies and talked much more about a change in tone from what he says is the anger and division of the trump presidency. Here is joe biden. We can choose a path and together take this to unite, a path of hope and light. This is a lifechanging electi election. Chris karl, is that enough of a message for joe biden . No. Its a start and its a powerful start, but it has to be backed up by specifics. It has to be backed up by a vision. Has to be backed up by an agenda and we havent seen that and we wont see it i think for a while, maybe because its going to pop up during the debates, but i think the Biden Campaign has made a strategic decision that they can win the selection by saying joe biden is not donald trump, donald trump is a terrible person, he has botched the coronavirus, so if you want to know anymore, go back to the start. Joe biden is a decent guy, donald trump is a terrible person and i dont think thats going to be enough and frankly, juan, with all due respect to my friend juan wilto racial divisi, most of those protesters most of those rioters are white and trying to burn down the federal courthouse is not something that makes the American People feel like that sort of it lets just ignore that, burning down a large part of minneapolis, killing and retired black cop in st. Louis for trying to protect a store is not seen as acceptable behavior. Chris let me get susan in here, guys. One of the things that was striking about the convention is how united it was and it seemed that the party was able to paper over some pretty sharp policy differences between the sanders wing and the biden wing of the party. One, do you think they can maintain that unity for the res2 days, and two, how quickly, if joe biden is elected president , how quickly does intraparty division break out after election . You saw a convention ranged from john kasich republicans to aoc democrats. Thats a pretty Broad Coalition and one reason i think joe biden didnt talk with great specificity about the policies, although he does have policies outlined on his website. That unity lasts i think as long as they are focused on defeating President Trump. But realistically, after election day, if joe biden wins the white house, if democrats hold the house, win the senate, youre going to see those divisions emerge about exactly what to do when it comes to all the big challenges that this country is going to be facing.

Here we are today voting on a measure to save the Postal Service because it is being to n the 2020 election. Its a fabricated crisis, its a shame that instead of helping Small Businesses and families, theyre trying to scare the American People. Chris heated debate and a rare saturday session of 26 republicans broke rank to vote woodHouse Democrats to approve 25 billion for the Postal Service. We are back with the panel. Juan, where you think the battle over mailin balloting stands now, as we say, the house just passed its bill but its going to go nowhere in the senate and if it did, the president said hed veto it. The postmaster general says its sacred duty to make sure that the ballots all get in on time and the president says that mailin balloting will be a catastrophe, so where do we go from here . Well, i think you have to keep in mind, plain as the morning sun. Nothing fabricated to say that the president wants to break the Postal Service because he sees it as the venue, the conduit for mailin voting in this country and, you know, nobody has to say this or make it up, the president said it himself on fox business. He said that he thinks that he is denying money to the Postal Service because if he does that he can then deny them the ability to fulfill mailin voting on a large scale. To me, five states already do this, universal mailin voting, no fraud, no problem. We have a pandemic in this country and it makes sense to make sure that people have the ability to vote easily. The president doesnt want people to vote. Chris okay, karl, he has here is a President Trump upset about mailin voting. Universal is going to be a disaster the likes of which our country has ever seen. It will end up being a rigged election do it again. Chris what do you think of the president s continual attack on mailin voting in his allegation that it will produce a rigged election . Well, hes not doing a very good job of distinguishing between universal mailin balloting, which means you send a ballot to everybody on the voter list, including, for example, in nevada, 200,000 people in clark county, nevada, las vegas no longer live at those addresses. The post office said theyve moved, they no longer live at those addresses. Hes not in a good job ofwhat w, which as you request an absentee ballot and you get it sent to you through the mail. And the latter is fine. We got the systems in place to handle it. We dont have the systems in place to handle the other thing, which is what weve seen in nevada, whipsawed in new york, seen it in california. There are five states that vote by mail, all of the votes and they do a good job of it, but as the secretary of state of washington state, one of those states, said, it took them five years to put those positions in place to do it accurately and data that we are going to send out ballots to people on those lists are inactive voters who have not voted for the last six years in whom the post office has said dont ever those addresses is wrong and a disaster in the making. Chris susan, a number of republican officials worry that the result of the president bashing mailin voting is that democrats will take advantage of it and vote by mail and some republicans who dont want to go because of the covid virus, to bility the wont vote at all. President could be talking down his own vote . Year this from state republican parties, which are focused on getting their voters to use mailin ballots, but this is a huge i dont think democrats see this as a benefit, this is a huge concern for democrats, that most americans will want to vote for them but many of them will be deterred from voting by problems with either getting to the polls or fears about using mailin ballot. There was no more consistent message from the Democratic Convention then to plan to vote, to vote early, to vote mail, to be prepared to go to the polls from theo the last word with joe biden. I could add a quick data point to that. In 2016, 1 Million People, roughly a million democrats in the milling republicans voted by mail. At this year, 3. 4 Million People have requested an absentee ballot. Nearly 2 million democrats and about a million for republicans. What was it 58,000 voted minutes for republicans for years ago in florida is now a 600,000 vote 600,000 application advantage for the democrats of this is having an effect. Democrats are energized getting their ballots and, republicans not so much voting by mail. Chris let me switch to another subject, mark meadows the chief of staff that we spoke to at the beginning of the program was on capitol hill this week and yesterday trying to meet, failing to meet with Speaker Pelosi to talk about the issue of a skinny covid relief bill. Here is mark meadows. Why is she here on a saturday talking about a slimmed down version for the Postal Service . Is she saying that the Postal Service is more important than unemployed americans . Chris they didnt meet. The fact is that there has been no compromise, no progress on any kind of relief and the president s executive actions really are not helping in terms of providing extra benefits to people, eviction protection, payroll tax cuts, susemate go on somebody going to pay a terrible political price . I think both sides should pay a political price here because people have real pain and need and i think it affects the economy, ultimately. So its all of us that suffer and i would think that the idea that the democrats in the house, the House Majority there, passed a bill now i guess back in may, gives you an idea that there was interaction from the white house and the senate side on the republicans in dealing with this issue and the democrats are making the case that not only do you need the money for individuals, you need to bolster the states in order to make sure that our economy doesnt crater from the trouble caused by the coronavirus. Chris susan, its interesting though, nancy pelosi, you know, heres mark meadows up on the helsing lets do a skinny relief bill and it will provide expanded federal benefits, 300 a week through the end of the year, nancy pelosi is not budging off, well, she came from 3 trillion to 2 trillion, but shes not budging off that. I dont think its impossiblo dozen republicans break with their party in the houseboat, you also saw half of the Democratic Caucus sign a letter saying that they were in favor of making some kind of bill to get some relief going, so theres pressure on both sides. The country has a crisis and congress has been unable to act for months, that doesnt look good for either side. Chris but having said tha that, both houses, both the house and the senate, going to be out of session, at this point continuing on into labor day, so is this just going to drag on without people getting added federal benefits, without eviction protection into september . Susan . A deal theres no guarantee for a deal but there is the possibility of one. Chris thats a very optimistic note on which to end. Thank you, panel, see you next sunday. Up next, heading into our second largely virtual convention, we look back at big moments from Republican Conventions past. Where are you . honey, did you hear about these new geico savings . Mom . Youll get an extra 15 on top of what geico could already save you. Can i call you back . You know your fathers learning to make sourdough. Even though he knows i prefer rye theres never been a better time to save with geico. Switch by october seventh for an extra 15 on car and motorcycle insurance. Hey, next time lets do a face call 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. Chris the democrats managed to pull off the nations First Virtual convention. Now all eyes are on the republicans to see if they can produce and show that lives up to their past conventions. What will happen when the conclave gets down to the actual business of the roll call . Chris the 1952 Republican Convention was the First Time Television covered the event gavel to gavel. Millions watched retired general and world war ii hero Dwight Eisenhower win the nomination and choose Richard Nixon as his running mate. Acceptor summons. I will leave this crusade. Chris in 1964, a bitter fight inside the g. O. P. Conservative senator Barry Goldwater beat the partys eastern establishment and defended his controversial agenda. Extremism in theliberty is [. Chris that was my first time at a convention, working as an intern and Walter Cronkites ankle booth. I couldnt believe people got paid to have so much fun. In 1980, Ronald Reagan was the nominee. But conservatism was still suspect. My first time as a floor reporter i chased stories reagan was offering former president jerry ford a kind of copresidency to ease concerns reagan was too far to the right. I think thats the strongest ticket we can possibly feel. Your indication is that fort has agreed to go . My indication is from friends very close to forward that he has agreed to go and i think thats fantastic. Chris but late that night it fell apart. I got the scoop from one of reagans floor managers. The central clearinghouse of information for the Reagan Campaign and they say its george bush. Thats correct, george bush. All the stories weve been hearing about gerald ford . Are typical convention rumors. Chris eight years later, bush was the tried to reassure conservatives with this pledge. Read my lips. No more taxes. And guess who i ran into on the Convention Floor . Here tonights real estate tycoon and bestselling author donald trump. Thank you very much. You have flirted with the idea of politics, now youre here at your First National convention. Does that get you interested in possibly making the plunge . Who told you i flirted . I wasnt talking about this year but you have said if you ran for president youd win. I think i have a very good chance. In 2008 the big news was john mccains running mate. They say the difference between a hockey mom and a pit bull, lipstick. I dont think its overstating it to say being right here on the floor that a star was born tonight. A new star in the political galaxy. Chris ended in 2012, the weirdest moment in all my years covering conventions. Clint eastwoods conversation with an empty chair. What you want me to tell romney . I cant tell them to do that. Cant do that to himself. Theyre absolutely crazy. Youre getting as bad as biden. Chris even with a largely virtual convention, its a safe bet President Trump will put on quite a show to lighting his supporters and setting off his opponents. Now this program note, join us for a democracy 2020 Convention Kickoff tonight at 10 00 p. M. Eastern for coverage of the republicans all week on fox news channel. And now, the really big news.
