Martha brandnew developments in the story of the biden Family Business ventures overseas, an investigation is gaining traction tonight as we headed to this evenings debate. Bret one of the recipients of an email from hunter biden is confirming its authenticity, actually several emails and Text Messages and shedding some new light on the families role in a business arrangement with a chinese company. Mike emanuel is in washington with the very latest. Hunter bidens former Business Partner on a Chinese Energy deal breaks his silence unloading Text Messages, emails, and documents he claims are about Hunter Bidens overseas business dealings and interaction with joe biden. In a may 19th 2017 text message obtained by fox news, hunter biden apparently tells his Business Associates my chairman gave an emphatic no. That same day business associate rob walker appears to respond when he said his chairman, he was talking about his dad. He served in the navy in the 1990s and was brought on to lead a group including hunter biden and joe bidens brother jim in a business deal with a Chinese Energy firm, he was also the primary recipient of this email which fox obtained last week noting 10 of equity for the big guy. If a newly revealed text message shows he was warned by Business Partner james gilley dont mention joe being involved, its only when youre facetoface i know you know that but they are paranoid. Do you stand by your statement that you did not discuss any of your sons business overseas. In a statement he told fox news Vice President biden never talked to hunter about his business, ive seen firsthand that thats not true. It wasnt just hunters business, they said they were putting the biden family name and its legacy on the line. May 17th 2017 text message hunter reportedly writes to his colleagues, the chinese are coming to be my partner to be partners with the bidens. If he adds a realize the chinese were not really focused on a healthy financial roi, they were looking at this as a political or influence investment. Bobulinski says there was a power struggle ended in june of 2017, hunter rants about not wanting to sign over my families brand, my families only asset to Tony Bobulinski. He explained once i realize he wanted to use the company as a personal piggy bank by taking money out of it this was it came from the chinese, i took steps to prevent that from happening. It bobulinski says he will share his information with the Senate Finance and Homeland Security committees. The subpoena of a laptop and hard drive reportedly belonging to hunter biden came in connection with a Money Laundering investigation com according to documents obtained by fox. It is not clear the status of that investigation or if it is directly related to hunter biden. If House Speaker nancy pelosi did not engage when asked about the former Vice President today. We are talking about the coronavirus. Some republicans argue its time for joe biden to talk. He needs to be asked about it at tonights debate. There is a reference in the may 2017 text message and the need to stress to hunter does he want to be the reason or factor that blows up his dads campaign written before the campaign was launched . Experts say legal issues could be Money Laundering, tax evasion, and failure to register as foreign agents. Bret mike emanuel live in washington. Martha President Trump comes into tonights debate trailing and most national and battleground state polls and he will be looking to score points on a variety of issues, likely including Hunter Bidens story. Bret john roberts is here in nashville and has our story. President trump arriving in nashville this afternoon, one last chance on a National Level to get a leg up on joe biden his aides predicting the biden Family Business dealings will be a prominent line of attack. The American People need to know if the biden family in any way is beholden to china, this is our biggest geopolitical adversary. The president is willing to bring it up himself if necessary. The revelations were former Navy Lieutenant Tony Bobulinski which President Trump claimed a monster focus to attention on whether hunter biden was selling energy and influence and whether joe biden did in fact know what his son was up to. Joe biden has been lying to the American People, he is very likely committed crimes and he is totally unfit to be the commander in chief of the United States given these revelations. President trump has left no doubt as to how he feels about the structure of tonights debate including the use of a mute button on the microphones. His campaign saying they will watch the buttons cooperator closely to make sure the rule is applied fairly. President trump also lashing out against cbs 60 minutes for what he called an unfair interview tweeting i will soon be giving a first in Television History full unedited preview of the bishops attempted to take out interview of me by leslie stahl a 5 of 60 minutes. The president tweeting a link to the white house transcription of the video preempting 60 minutes in a statement to cbs news responding by saying the white house unprecedented decision to release their footage will not deter 60 minutes from providing its full, fair, and contextual reporting which president s have participated in for decades. In an excerpt released by 60 minutes, correspondence leslie stahl providing plenty of pushback against one of the president s favorite talking points. Theres no real evidence of that. Of course there is, its all over the place. They spied on my campaign. This is 60 minutes and we cant put on things we cant verify. In addition to hunter biden, President Trump will need strong responses to bread and butter issues, his response to the coronavirus pandemic and civil unrest. The president tweeting this afternoon that his stance on law and order has suburban women flocking to him, that would seem to fly in the face of new fox news battleground polls that show joe biden and at least four states with a substantial lead on those issues. In a couple points to add to mike emanuels reporting are told that Tony Bobulinski will be a special guest of the president tonight in the debate hall, the president will likely point him out. Were also told that the bobulinski will announce that he will turn all of his Electronic Devices over to the fbi. No word on whether or not the fbi wants them but hes going to turn them over. Bret well follow all tha that. The Joe Biden Team is preparing for another aggressive performance from President Trump, correspondent peter doocy is with us in nashville with that part of the story. The hot ticket in music city isnt a duet, its a debate. Hopefully hes going to play by the bulls. The Biden Campaign believes the trump playbook will focus on the family. We will expect rumple attack biden and his family and every time he does that, all hes doing is reinforcing what we have said all along he is acknowledging that he has no case for second term. Joe biden will have to speak for himself but if he winds up winning the election, he will need a lot of help making up his mind on Court Packing. I will put together a National Commission of Bipartisan Commission of scholars, constitutional scholars, democrats and republicans, liberals, conservatives. Despite a pledge to let voters know whether or not he favors expanded the Supreme Court by election day. They do to have a right to know where i stand. A yes or no answer is many months away. I will ask them over 180 days to come back to me with recommendations as to how reformed the court system because its getting out of whack. He doesnt feel any pressure to speed things up. Its a live ball. If we are going to have to do that. While hes been off the trail, the campaign has been leaving heavy lifting to barack obama. Weve got to turn out like never before. Also used in the former president to walk people through mail in ballots for biden. The second debate was going to be close enough to the president s covid1 covid19, tt biden is concerned. Hopefully its all worked out the way the rules are, im looking forward to this. Have a look at this stage, theres something missing not just donald trump and joe biden but the plexiglass that was put in place to protect joe biden and donald trump from covid19 has been taken down and a source involved with this tells me it is not going to be going back up before debate time. Thats not all, in less than three hours theres going to be somebody sitting offstage who has the ability to do something that many people watching at home might of felt like doing over the course of the last several years and that is newt a politician. Speak to every what he would like to have that. Bret Supreme Court, tonights debate former president ial candidate Pete Buttigieg is working with the biden team, author of the new book trust, americas best chance, mayor pete, welcome back. Thanks for having me. Bret this is the closing argument, final days of this campaign, with the closing elevator pitch . Its that it doesnt have to be this bad and were going to build back better and joe biden continues to be laser focused on making sure we have solutions for american families, that we dig out of the economic hole that has been created by the president s failed Pandemic Response, that we actually have a Pandemic Response to protect lives, that we know longer have a president contradicting experts but rather making sure that a vaccine once we have one is distributed, making sure testing is free all of the things of the American People want. Same with health care, the American People already agree with joe biden that the Affordable Care act should be protected and expanded, not taken away like republicans are trying to do in court. Tonight is a great opportunity given at the American People already agree with joe biden on the big issues to remind the people of that choice and hopefully there will be a chance to get that across despite any noise created from President Trumps side of the floor. Martha pete, you heard some of the latest reporting on this biden Family Finances and business issue, those emails are coming forward and we expect we are going to hear from Tony Bobulinski at some point very soon, hes turning over that laptop to the fbi. If you were in joe bidens shoes tonight, how would you address that when the president likely brings it up . The last time the president brought this up, it backfired. The president attacked someone for having an addiction and millions of americans who know and love people who have battled addiction saw in the eyes of joe biden someone who loves his son and a somebody who can relate to so Many American families as he conquered that. Even though that was a failed strategy last time, it sounds like donald trump is preparing to go for that again. I think because he would rather talk about the Vice President s family than talk about our families but joe biden isnt the kind of person is going to be sidetracked by that. What youre going to seat is him relentlessly returning to the fundamental question which is how are our lives as americans going to be made better when we have better leadership . Bret your former military intelligence officer, the original response from biden surrogates is that this is russian disinformation and now you have someone on the record who was on that email chain, you have the fbi and dni saying it was not russian disinformatio disinformation is it concerning at all and is there an answer about the authenticity of these emails that joe biden will offer today . We dont know, as far as i can tell, even fox news hasnt confirmed the authenticity of a lot of this stuff being thrown out there. I think what this really comes down to is desperation. Does anybody really think after a year and a half of obsessively trying to go after this and trump something up even a senate led Republican Panel investigated this and didnt find anything wrong with the Vice President s actions and get 12 days out, they are trying to whip Something Else up. That kind of desperation shows you just how rough things have gotten because of the president s inability to state any plan for what he is going to do as leader of this country for four more years and its unfortunate that hes really taken down the honor of the people he surrounds himself wi with. I remember when Rudy Giuliani was widely respected on both sides of the aisle, he is now been reduced to digital dumpster diving in order to get america looking at and talking about literally anything else than the president s failed record on dealing with the pandemic, the economic consequences, and his inability to state a vision for four more years. Bret just to be clear, youre saying this former lieutenant, bobulinski, is lying about these emails and texts . Is not even clear what hes claiming it adds up to. They are just saying are questions. Bret that joe bidens was discussing his business dealings. If they want to make this about the business deals of a government official, lets talk about the president of the United States having a secret chinese bank account. Thats not like something somebody said that used to work somebody related to the president thats a matter of documented fact. They wont even tell us what bank its with, does that bother americans . Im pretty sure it bothers americans a lot more than what they are trying to with up for the last 12 days of this election season. Martha im pretty sure we are going to hear a bit more about both sides of that equation this evening and well to see how all of that plays out. I want to play one of the thing for you, this is from Charlamagne Tha God on the issue of the black vote in america, listen. Trump is actually talking to young black male voters, hes directing ads towards them, they are a group that never get courted. If black people dont get courted as a whole but that whole democratic regime speaks to black men and they think everyone else in the black community in black families are supposed to fall in line, black women are going to show up regardless and they think the rest of us all speak the same language trump is targeting young black males and it works. Martha what you think about that . I think hes right that thats a strategy that donald trump is attempting, im skeptical that its going to work. First of all, joe biden became the nominee largely because of the depth of the trust that he has earned with black americans through his time in public life. Hes running against a president who told a White Supremacist Group to stand by it at the end of the day, he can try but i dont think its good to get him very far. Bret mayor Pete Buttigieg, we appreciate you coming on, we would love you to put in a good word for joe biden or senator harris to come on as well. Sounds good. Bret thank you. Martha coming up next, the other side of the story from trump advisor South Carolina governor nikki haley. Bret and how nashville pays tribute to another democracy. This is the parthenon and downtown nashville centennial park, its a fullscale replica of the original parthenon in athens, greece, nashville was nicknamed the athens of the south and that was the inspiration for this one which was built in 1897 for the tennessee centennial. With a hat tip to the worlds first democracy, tonight nashville plays host to democracy 2020, the final president ial debate. Our show continues after this. I am a good parent. Jared . Im hearing the most awful things, people shouting at me. Its ok. When you live with schizophrenia like us, it can feel like youre living in a different world. You should definitely talk to your doctor and ask about fanapt. Ok. Fanapt is approved for the treatment of schizophrenia in adults. In clinical trials, fanapt significantly improved symptoms of schizophrenia compared to placebo. Cynthia, are you ok . I feel like everyones out to get me. Fanapt may change your heart rhythm which could elevate risk of sudden death. Your doctor will consider this when deciding among treatments and may prescribe another medication first or may instruct you to take a smaller dosage of fanapt. Remember youre not alone, there is help. Call 8557 fanapt unlike ordinary memory want supplementster . Neuriva has clinically proven ingredients that fuel 5 indicators of brain performance. Memory, focus, accuracy, learning, and concentration. Try our new gummies for 30 days and see the difference. Is joe biden getting kickbacks from china . The American People deserve some answers here, he needs to be asked about it ats debate. I hope the question and the focus on the president will be on facts. He should talk about what hes done for seniors and health care, he should talk about the successes of the middle east. Its kind of like Ronald Reagan in 1980. Nobody knew Ronald Reagan was going to win in 1980 until he performed well in the only debate that year. Martha we welcome in one of President Trumps campaign advisors, nikki haley, former governor of South Carolina and u. S. Ambassador to the united nations. As you look ahead to this evening, what would you advise the president , what do you think he has to accomplish out there tonight . I hope the one thing the president talks about is what hes done. His record on the economy precoated was amazing and broke all records and the way its coming back after the pandemic shows he could do it once, he can do it again his record on Foreign Policy, i know they arent going to talk about Foreign Policy and i think thats a travesty because he is a stellar when it comes to his Foreign Policy record compared to bidens and that wouldve been something for him to really be able to tout. Bret one of the topics as National Security, we may go down that road a bit, well and see what the moderator does but what do you think is the number one Foreign Policy success for President Trump and what is still left on the table or a failure of not getting done . I got to tell you, im proud of what this president has done over the past four years. Just seeing how hes brought peace in the middle east when its been tried for decades and it hasnt been done, you can look at how hes taken on china and really held them accountab accountable. The way he is called out iran and gotten the entire Arab Community to isolate iran and bring them to bake them of the way he has installed north kor north korea, hes been able to keep them at bay as well. In a way that got everybody on notice, sometimes it made our friends upset but it always made sure that everyone knew america wasnt there to be taken for granted and we werent going to throw foreign aid out. If we were going to get foreign aid, we were going to partner. A former Navy Lieutenant has come out today substantiating some of these emails with regard to the bidens and business ventures. You might have heard our conversation with mayor pete of south bend, indiana, and he scoffed at the legitimacy of that whole story and said all they have to do is bring up President Trumps chinese bank account, what do you say about all that . I think its interesting that first of all there is an ethics question here. There is a National Security question here, all biden has to do if this isnt true, if that isnt hunters signature, say it, if thats not hundred email, say it, but the campaign hasnt said that and thats why theres all these questions. I hope that the press will get down to the bottom of it and i hope the moderator will ask the question, its a fair question to ask. I think as we go into this president ial election much like everyone was so concerned about the president s relationship with russia, we have the right to ask those questions about the president s relationship as it related to hunter in ukraine and china and how much money hes taken from china, it could really go down the path of is that the reason why he said china was not competition, he needs to answer these questions. Hes been in hiding for so long, had this been any other campaign or any other candidates, the press wouldve asked an abundance of questions and we havent gotten any answers and when we have gotten answers, they havent been straight answers. Bret you mentioned russia, i want to take you back three years come october and what you said about russian interference, take a listen. We have to hold them accountable and they are responsible for this too, we all have to step up for this event, when a country can interfere in another countrys election, that is warfare. Bret now we have director of National Intelligence saying russia is at it again along with iran and perhaps others, have we as a country done enough to punish russia for what they did in 2016 and what they are doing now . I will continue to say its the cheapest form of warfare which is why they do it, my guess is china is also doing at the net that one surprise me if north korea is involved as well. We have to call them out but this is a new day, we are saying russia has interfered in european elections and other elections across the board and its just the way they so chaos spirit i think our intelligence agencies are doing the right job picking up on it, whether its by email or by social media but we need the public to be vigilant. We had the public to understand when they get something that doesnt look right or smelt right or is suspicious that they should wonder if thats what that is. Back in 2016, you actually had the russians coordinated rallies americans were going to that they had no idea they were doing it, their whole goal was to separate us on race and religion. If i think youre going to see the same thing, trying to cause chaos through these emails threatening people on how they need to vote. All they are trying to do is make americans uneasy about the electoral process in our electoral process is good and our intelligence agencies know what they are doing, and i think we have to be continue to be vigilant and stay on them. Martha thank you very much, good to have you with us tonight. Bret up next, some of the other headlines today including what we are learning about Jeffrey Epsteins former girlfriend and that sexual abuse scandal. Managing type 2 diabetes . Youre on it.

This is the hundred page deposition of ghislaine maxwell, Jeffrey Epsteins former girlfriend and alleged madam that she didnt want the public to see, for more than two years, maxwells lawyers fought to keep the deposition sealed, arguing it would taint a jury and make it impossible for maxwell to get a fair criminal trial. Maxwell faces four criminal sex trafficking charges, shes accused of recruiting, grooming, and abusing underage girls along with epstein, she faces two counts of perjury for lying under oath in this newly released deposition from a 2016 lawsuit who accuses maxwell of facilitating and participating in sexually abusing her. Maxwell denied having any knowledge of epstein abusing minors saying i never saw any inappropriate underage activities with jeffrey ever. On recruiting any underaged girls, first of all, i resent and despise the word recruit, i never had to do anything with underage people, in fact the deposition is littered with maxwell saying i dont recall and i dont recollect then theres this photo allegedly taken inside maxwells london home show at maxwell and britains Prince Andrew who of the photo she says i dont know if thats true if thats a real picture or not. At one point maxwell gets defensive, even banging the table, knocking the Court Reporters computer off calling her a total liar and an awful fantasist.

Correspondent david splunk has details tonight from the justice department. Within the last two hours and this is developing, the fbi put out a report that says russia is trying to meddle in the elections just less than two weeks before the election this comes just one day after the director of National Intelligence John Ratcliffe went on camera and said that iran has a joint russia and both countries are stirring up trouble. Ratcliff asked the director of National Intelligence last night on camera, that both countries are actively involved in stealing potential voter information from around the country, without giving specifics are taking questions, ratcliff said to both countries are looking at Voter Registration information though he focused more on iran. We have already seen iran sending spoofed emails designed to intimidate voters, incite social unrest, and damage President Trump. Law enforcement sources tell fox news those emails sent to voters were made to look like they came from violence inciting group the proud boys, some of those say vote for trump or else. Some democrats in florida received those threatening emails. They argued the emails and damage President Trump but he did not utter the word bite and once in his Public Statement last night, Senate Minority leader Chuck Schumer heard from ratcliffe yesterday before his on camera statement to the world. From the briefing i have the strong impression it was much rather to undermine confidence in elections and not aimed at any particular figure. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi this afternoon said to proceed with caution when listening to ratcliffe and others. I think we have to be very careful about any statements coming out of the Intelligence Community at this time. Fox news contributor dan hoffman who worked for the cia and is an expert on russia wants to hear more from dni ratcliffe. What sort of intelligence collection to we have that indicates that that theft took place that dni didnt want to reveal that because he would risk compromising our sources and methods, and how extensive was this . Fbi director chris ray wants americans to know they can feel confident their boat will be counted and intelligence sources weve heard from believe russia poses a greater threat than ir iran. Martha thank you very much. Bret tonight we look at one southwestern pennsylvania district that could be an indicator of how crucial that state is for the election, for the nation, as people are boating. Edward lawrence of fox business reports from carnegie pennsylvania. Over the years manufacturing jobs left carnegie pennsylvania, many of the people stayed. The town is part of pennsylvanias 17th congressional district. In 2016, the countries in the district largely supported President Donald Trump the pennsylvania Supreme Court redrew the district lines in 2018 after a court battle, voters elected a democrat. And conor lamb in a special election. President trump put his public support behind his republican challenger sean parnell. Of lamb billed himself as a moderate to get elected and shifted more t to the left. I dont shes one of the young people he got in there, i would like to see him do something on his own, start using your imagination. It away from these old people. He already voted, like roughly 58 of the people requesting ballots, smokey thinks trumps policies will swing the boat. If im living well commitments a country is doing well. If ive got money in my pocket it means everybodys got some money in their pocket, i watch the economy. The owner ashley connor, says the trump tax cuts helped her and her business, the papal Protection Program is the reason she was able to avoid layoffs. Still, she will vote democrat to. Whats the issue thats going to get you to vote one way or the other . Probably social issues. Like what . Health care absolutely. I am just definitely leaning more with the democratic party. You connect more with biden . Absolutely. The men are strongly behind President Donald Trump and the women supporting Vice President joe biden with a very close race for the congressional seat and the presidency. Bret martha when we come , we are waiting for a live event with Tony Bobulinski, the person was surfaced in all of this, he is about to speak in front of the cameras and we are going to get a two minute warning on that shortly. Well take you there live as soon as that gets underway. If your dry eye symptoms keep coming back, inflammation in your eye might be to blame. Looks like a great day for achy, burning eyes overthecounter eye drops typically work by lubricating your eyes and may provide temporary relief. Ha these drops probably wont touch me.

Xiidra is the only fda approved treatment specifically for the signs and symptoms of dry eye disease. One drop in each eye, twice a day. Dont use if youre allergic to xiidra. Common side effects include eye irritation, discomfort or blurred vision when applied to the eye, and unusual taste sensation. Dont touch container tip to your eye or any surface.

Bret welcome back to nashville, the gorgeous campus at belmont university, it is pretty here. We continue our series on the big issues of the campaign tonight with a look at the economy. Martha it is tied for the top spot in voter concerns, i know that would come as no surprise this is the latest nationwide of fox poll that we have on what matters to voters out there, here is correspondent rich edson. The economy is one of the biggest things out there, very important. Trump and biden voters agree on at least that much but President Trump and former post Vice President have very different visions for the economy. We felt the greatest economy in the history of the world. President trump signed a massive tax cut in his first term, he promised to continue reducing taxes specifically cutting Capital Gains taxes. The president is campaigning on blunting federal regulations and has a beard from touting tariffs, signing trade agreements, and pushing confrontation with china. We can build an economy that gets everyone a fair return on their work, equal chance to get ahead to. Former Vice President joe biden promised to raise income taxes on incomes more than 400,000 a year, investment taxes on those making more than a million and increase the top Corporate Tax rate from 212 max 28 . Independent estimates say thats a tax increase of between two and 3 trillion over the next decade. Biden would spend more on infrastructure and clean energy and aid to state and local governments. Biden says hell work with allies to confront china. I feel like biden will take care of the middle class and he wont be catering to the Upper Echelon of people in this country. Both candidates are running on the economic records, the Unemployment Rate peaked at 10 in the obamabiden administrations first year, it steadily fell to about 4 when they left office, it dropped to 3. 5 during the Trump Administration until the pandemic hit. I think thats exactly who we want, whats happened the last three and a half years when the economy was tremendous. When it comes to the 27 trillion national debt, Neither Campaign has released a detailed plan on how they addressed massive annual deficits come as the candidates discuss the broader economy, the fate of their economic proposals depends on which parties control the house and senate this year because its congress that determines the details of taxes and spending. Bret poster frank luntz joins us now, good evening. Youve had these panels of undecided independent voters, whatever you want to call them there arent that many of them left in this country at this point, what are voters expecting to hear tonight . Statistically only 4 of americans are still undecided and only 4 who have decided acknowledge they could switch their vote so its a very small group of people and they told me last night and this morning that their questions are not of donald trump, their questions are of joe biden and i found that fascinating. They feel like they arent getting the information they need and they are three specific questions first, Court Packing. They want to know exactly what joe biden is going to do in terms of is he going to add a couple extra members in the Supreme Court, what kind of criteria is he going to use the juice people, Court Packing is number on 1 and they are also asking the same question about taxes, are my taxes going to go up, whats he going to do the business second, they want to know about the difference between him and donald trump on covid19. He says and brags about having a different approach, they want to know tonight exactly what is different from that and third, they want to know whether his support for Environmental Policies and changes to our legislation on climate change, whether that is going to cost money out of their pockets come out of their wallets. Theres very little question that people have about donald trump right now, the whole focus is going to be about what joe biden has to say, how he says that, and whether they believe hes got convictions or whether hes playing politics. Martha obviously we all watched the last debate together and it was very unsatisfying. Is what i took away from a number of the folks that you were talking to that night. Did they talk about the tone and what they would like to see tonight done differently . You got it, you hit it right on the head they will be agitated and they will vote if donald trump does the same thing tonight, they will vote against him. If joe biden says to the president will you shut up, they will vote against him. They expect the candidates to be civil, expect the candidates to be specific and fully informed. There are a lot of questions theyve got and they expect answers and they dont want to wait beyond tonight. Bret i saw another interview that you did and you said if the posters get it wrong this time that it could be the end of that industry. Tell me about that. I hate to acknowledge it because thats my industry at least partially, but the public will have no faith, no confidence right now the Biggest Issue is the trust deficit and posters did not do a good job in 2016. If donald trump surprises people, if joe biden has a five or sixpoint lead and donald trump wins, my profession is done. If you can make a mistake once, you cannot make it again. Martha if that were to happen, how would you reevaluate the business, how to get a read on what people are thinking and get them to tell you the truth . Good question. It requires weighting which means youve got to make sure youre representing all of the votes, the turnout across this country is at record proportions we may have a higher vote than at any time and 100 years figure out whos going to vote and figure out whos going to ask them honest questions. Bret quick plug it real quick on fox nation i looked at some of the biggest october surprises over the last 50 years. We look at the revelations that were make and break for candidates in the final days of the campaign that is available on fox nation.
