Judges on his short list this morning in florida. What it really solidifies is judge Amy Coney Barretts stance is the front runner. She is a favor among conservatives and met with President Trump at the white house on monday. Supporters say she could really help the president win that battleground state and then theres three other judges on the short list. No mention of any of them during a latinos for a trump roundtable this morning, instead President Trump focused on his opponent joe biden and continued to tie them and the Democratic Party to venezuela and cuba. You know about the radical left, almost more than any people you know about the radical left, big examples and youre not going to be there and i think thats one of the reasons we are doing so well with hispanics. During his remarks this morning the president pointed to this new abc News Washington post poll which shows him beating joe biden by about four call points in florida, President Trump is going to be speaking in another battleground state very shortly, hes going to be talking in georgia where he is expected to announce plans to increase access to capital in black communities by about 500 billion, then its on to washington, d. C. , and then tonight back out on the campaign trail for another rally, this time in virginia, hes off to pennsylvania so a very busy 24 hours for President Trump and in the middle of all that hes going to be announcing his candidacy. Dana Kristin Fisher, always appreciate it, thank you. Joe biden paid his respects to Justice Ginsburg this morning but the president ial nominee still hasnt said who he thinks should fill her see. Peter doocy has more. Dana, early on this year during primary season joe biden used to say he did not want to add seats to the Supreme Court unpack them with with liberals but now he wont say. What i am not going to do and what i hope you will understand is by the president s game. He wants to change the subject, violating constitutional principle by moving forward in the middle of an election. He wants us talking about whether or not we are going to expand the court. Biden kept his focus on the late Justice Ginsburg, reminding reporters that the two of them first met at a confirmation chairing back in 1993 but neither he or his running mate have been willing to look ahead to the next confirmation hearing or talk about whether there should be a flurry of confirmation hearings under the biden administration. Senator harris, should democrats pack the supreme cou Supreme Court . Senator harris, should democrats try to pack the Court Next Year . Thank you. We tried by the two of them will not be able to avoid questions about this forever. For example, one of the main topics for the first debate is the Supreme Court. Thats in four days. Dana . Dana we have the ticker at the bottom of your screen. Im looking forward to it, it will be in cleveland. I want to bring in the panel, always great to have you two. It has been quite unusual to release list but President Trump and went ahead and did that in 2016 and a lot of conservatives got comfort from that in and said okay, we are going to vote from President Trump. Heres what President Trump said yesterday about joe biden not releasing the list. My opponent refuses to release his list of potential justices because they will be handpicked by extremists. If he puts an extremist in that position he loses everything and if he does the other way he loses the left so he doesnt want to give. Id love to have him put up a list. Dana what about that criticism . Its ridiculous, the president put up a list that was handed to him by the Federalist Society because the Federalist Society and christian conservatives did not trust donald trump because he had no record on anything that mattered to them. If joe biden or any other president ial candidate would be foolish to put out a list of who they would put on the court or any other position for that matter because then the campaign will be turned into what these people have done rather than what that candidate is planning to do for america. I think joe biden to keep focus on what trump is doing to destroy our republic including ramming a Supreme Court justice through in the middle of an election. Dana mark meadows, the chief of staff was on fox friends this morning talking about the upcoming attack on faith that we could expect and Kristin Fisher just said it does look like Amy Coney Barrett is likely to be the person that President Trump picks. Take a listen to this, i will get your reaction. They are coming after their catholic faith and if they are going to go after a judge based on what they believe, not on how they voted, not based on their record, shame on them. I thought we were better than that and when we look at our constitution it allows us to really have faith as we did take and that should be a litmus test for the court. Dana even though it looks like those votes are there for this justice to get confirmed on the republican side do you still expect . Oh, my gosh, for sure. The constitution explicitly said there should be no religious test for service in our government, its one of the things that makes america such a great place and you have this group, catholics for biden, joe biden talking about the Roman Catholic church and that hes a person of faith and that seems to have humanized joe biden. For Amy Coney Barrett or someone like her to be nominated to the court, shes already had numerous stories about how her faith is extreme because she believes in god or believes in these ideas. It took chris hahn one minute to make the charge. Dana, weve got to be on this. Will they read the constitution and interpret it . Its not about your individual beliefs when you are a conservative, its about the constitution. Dana nancy pelosi has basically said they want to do everything they possibly can to prevent this but she now is saying it might not be impeachment. I dont think hes worth the trouble at this point, we have 40 days until the election, he is trying to discredit mailin voting which is hurting as youve heard some of the republicans say, this has been an important part of our electoral success. Dana chris, we spent a long time, many weeks talking about engagement in january and february and they dont bring it up on the campaign trail at all, im not surprised, especially if theyre not even going to try to campaign on it. I dont think its needed, donald trump is losing this election which is why we are pretending he wont accept the votes, it doesnt matter, you will be removed one way or the other. As for what matt has said about democrats attacking her faith, they are attacking the fact that she would take away health care for millions of americans with preexisting conditions. As a law professor when Justice Roberts ruled that obamacare was constitutional, shes on the record on that, she will take away that health care and look, i dont know whats christian, taking away health care. The bible says, take care of those in need. Dana chris, we are going to give matt the last word. Her position on the major issues. Dana matt, go ahead. Chris, lets be very clear here. Kamala harris, Dianne Feinstein and other members of the Senate Judiciary committee have specifically targeted the faith of catholic nominees, does the dog run deep through them . This is anticatholic bias. If joe biden is pretending that he believes in his teachings, he cant allow his surrogate and his running mate to go after a nominees faith. Theyve already started. Dana sorry, guys. Thats wrong. Dana one of these days. You have to stop, i have to run.

[chanting] dana protesters hit the streets in louisville for the second straight night after a grand jury decided not to directly indict beliefs in the Breonna Taylor killing and that her family says the protests will continue until the cops are charged. Live in the limo. You can almost hear a pin drop as the family of Breonna Taylor walked up here to Jefferson Square park in downtown louisville. Their attorney did most of the talking. Did read a statement on behalf of breonnas mother. I hope you never have to know the pain of knowing your child is in need and you are not able to help. I hope you never hear the sounds of hearing someone cry and beg for your child to get help and she never receives help. Those cries last Night Protests once again fired up through downtown louisville, far fewer at 24 compared to the nearly 130 the night before. One of those arrests involving kentuckys only black state legislator, atticus scott. Both of those officers who were shot on wednesday arent still recovering and demanded investigators take shots at the two of them. He was arraigned on multiple charges. Dana protests over Breonna Taylor are spreading coasttocoast and some are turning violent. Jonathan hunts live in los angeles. Two frightening incidents on the streets of l. A. Last night both caught on video and its unclear whether the drivers wanted to harm protesters or simply panicked after accidentally getting caught up in the protests. The aftermarket of the first incident, a black truck of driving to the crowd appeared to hit a protester and then as other protesters rushed toward the vehicle, the driver sped off once again. The protester who was can it ws taken to the hospital with nonthreatening injuries. A white previous attempted to drive through the crowd and got through and took off. Protesters chase to the car and a black pickup truck chase the previous, protesters attacked the car and its driver who eventually drove away at high speed. He was then pulled over by the police then handcuffed. In portland, almost four months into nightly protests, Police Declared an Unlawful Assembly after protesters set fire to an awning outside a police union building. The fire was quickly put out. Great concern in portland today over what this weekend may bring with left and right wing rallies planned for tomorrow. Dana . Dana jonathan hunt, thank you. Covid19, showing the virus may be responding to social distancing efforts. Jonathan serrie is live in atlanta with more. Hi, dana, researchers compare samples that they took from some of the earliest covid19 patience taken in the houston area and compare them to samples in this massive second wave going to the city, scientists at Research Institutions around the country look at mutations in the coronavirus, suggesting the mutations have not made the virus any deadlier but they have made the virus more contagious. The Washington Post quotes david moore saying, wearing masks, washing our hands, although things are barriers to transmissibility or contagion but as the virus becomes more contagious it statistically is better at getting around to those barriers. Whats unclear is whether mutations will eventually help it evade vaccine. If that is the case the vaccine would have to be updated periodically as we already do each year for flu shots. The study posted on the publication web site is still awaiting peer review so political experts cautioned that they should not yet be used to guide physical practice or any personal precautions you are taking. Dana . Dana as the candidates focus on big battleground states they are also lawyering up for the potential election cycle. 20 years ago, i was an hourly associate cart pusher. The different positions ive had taught me how to be there for others. I started out as a cashier. I mean, the skys the limit with walmart. Its all up to you. Dana we have a live look for you in georgia, President Trump landing just moments ago. The president making a push for a key part of the democratic base. The battle for black votes in a real battleground state. The president s tenth visit to georgia since taking office, a state he won handily by over 5 but most polls have him neck and neck with joe biden. As far as the message here today goes its going to be on black Economic Empowerment and there are reports the president has plans to make juneteenth into a federal holiday and also has plans to make lynching a hate crime. In 2016 President Trump got just 8 of the black vote, black voter turnout was also down in 2016 by more than 7 over the previous election. Voting in georgia has already begun, mailin voting has started with more than ten times the amount of people requesting mailin ballots compared to 2016. Back to you. Dana meanwhile both candidates going big on the battleground, the campaign near the home stretch. So far this week biden has been linked to tw to in two key swing states while the president has been in six where the resident is going to be in three different places today and in pennsylvania tomorrow so very Different Campaign style. Theres this article that i wanted to put up for you, basically saying that bidens aides say that his approaches intentional, basically saying that they are totally comfortable with the way that hes campaigning. But i think some democrats are getting nervous because it kind of feels like 2016 where Hillary Clinton wasnt going to the places she needed to go. Yeah, thats exactly right. The Vice President , was basically going to stay in delaware and connect the campaign the entire time. When it became clear in the battleground states, the ration was narrowing under pressure from bedwetting democrats. Dana may be one of the reasons is the polls continue to show biden with a lead and we had a new poll from fox news, nevada and ohio and pennsylvania with biden in the lead in all of those, a smaller lead in ohio and at this point, how seriously do you think the campaign is taking these polls . When you are in the campaign, what i try to do is stand back from them, the Real Clear Politics National average, on july 27th biden was up 9. 3 and today hes only up by 6. 6, its tightened. Lets go to the battleground state. On july 27th biden was up 6. 2, today hes up 3. 6. Here is why 3. 6 is so important. In 2016 on october 30th, hillary was up 3. 6 Percentage Points and all the battleground states. Biden is up the same amount today. Close, thats what it means. It means this is a close race and i think its going to stay that way right through election day. Dana i dont know that karl rove has a doublesided whiteboard, he really up to the game right now. I dont know what the consequences are going to be, we will let you know. Perhaps not all thats surprising but when you see it its a little bit eyepopping, from the states are never reported how many ballots have already been turned in, 650,000 today and at this point in 2016 it was 9,525. This is going to probably be a very great turnout election. Absolutely. It was a record and we are going to shatter that record now and i hope thats because of the love for trump and the animosity for trump. He brings them in and he brings in out so thats a good sign for our democracy. Its going to lead to a ton of mail and votes which will set up a whole different set of complications and end of itself. Dana i dont know if you saw even in virginia this week as i started early voting, curbside voting, sometimes miles long people in their cars waiting to participate. Maybe a last word from you about the Supreme Court nominee expected to be announced tomorrow. Yeah, this is big. You really dont get chances to replace somebody from the opposite party often. So this has the potential for a lot of swing for republicans, its been long sought, pent up demand for a democrat thats been protected at all costs, the stakes dont get higher than this, do they . Dana it feels like it indeed and for one president to have this opportunity to put three Supreme Court justices on the courts historic and unusual, good to see you. I will let you know. Take care.

Dana bottom of the hour, time for top headlines, Ruth Bader Ginsburg today became the first woman ever to lie in state at the u. S. Capitol, the ceremony was held this morning honoring the late justice, joe biden and Kamala Harris to join lawmakers and family in paying respects. President trump did so yesterday. Near the former offices, 12 people died when terrorists attacked those offices back in 2015 and a trial is underway. Some good news for football fans, the pac12 voting to start the season in november. The conference initially announced it was delaying all sports until at least january. And those are your headlines. There was a whole conspiracy and it was the worst thing anyones ever seeing and it was a take down, it was all the opposite, they were the ones conspiring. Dana President Trump ripping into the russia investigation after fbi officials who served on Robert Muellers team. Not only that, he said the collusion investigation was a dead end. H. R. Mcmaster, former National Security advisor and author of the new book battleground which obviously looks like a really great read. If you could maybe give us your reaction to this fbi agent saying he thought the whole thing was not on the up and up. Dana, thanks, its a pleasure to be with you. This is so unfortunate because what russia wants to do is shake confidence in our institutions, in our rule of law and polarize us even further and it looks like they are succeeding in large measure because we are doing it to ourselves. Dana as you were saying, seems like we are actually doing it. Going forward there is obviously, something needs to happen with what happened in 2016 but Going Forward, election interference from foreign powers, what is your position on that . Should we expose it more, do any other sort of retaliation . Dana, you know, i was the National Security advisor in the wake of the 2016 elections and i think its very important to place what russia was doing in the context of overall cyberenabled Information Warfare campaign against us, a campaign designed to shake our confidence in who we are, pit us against each other and reduce our confidence in our democratic principles and institutions and processes. So we went to work very hard across the government to make sure that that couldnt happen again are at least it became much more difficult for russia to do it and there was a big shift by the 2018 elections, we had formed new organizations that looked at our structure broadly to protect them and we also really took the gloves off our cyber forces so they can be more effective at countering these kinds of attacks. I think we can all do our own part to not make ourselves susceptible to russian disinformation and propaganda, not allow them to pull us apart from each other and shape our confidence. Dana thats what i was thinking, i remember secretary Condoleezza Rice saying something along the lines of, we understand what we are doing but its not working. Let me ask you about china, not just about election interference but we are four days from the first president ial debate, china was likely to come up, whether President Trump brings it up, what is your position on the Trump AdministrationGoing Forward in terms of china and the biden administration. I think the greatest achievement of the Trump Administration policy was the dramatic and longoverdue shift on the approach of china. Previously it was based on assumptions that china having been welcomed into the community would play by the rules, liberalize its economy and ultimately prospered. Under the Chinese Communist party, it did exactly the opposite so the shift from a policy of cooperation and engagement with the Chinese Communist party to one of competing more effectively, to reentering arenas of competition that we vacated, this is a story that i tell in battlegrounds and the most significant shift in Foreign Policy since the end of the cold war. Dana tell me a little bit about what else is in battleground, former National Security advisors have some time to think big and think globally. When you think about challenges that america will have in dealing with either adversaries are possible things like a global pandemic, i dont like saying what keeps you up at night but what do you worry about and what should be paying attention to . What i worry about now is really because of the triple crises that we have encountered now, the pandemic, the recession associated with it, the divisions in our society laid bare by the murder of george floyd and the racial strife that weve seen and the civil unrest, i think theres going to be a period of introspection, necessary introspection but i hope that is not in accompanied by a disengagement from complex challenges overseas. As we are invested in these crises, these crucial challenges are still there and we can best protect ourselves and really advance our prosperity by remaining engaged. So the book is in many ways an argument for making sure that we remain engaged and Work Together to build a Better Future for generations to come. You mentioned the pandemic, dana. I think its a great metaphor, a great example, pandemics are best dealt with before they become a pandemic, to really get at these outbreaks at their source. Thanks to the Chinese Communist party we couldnt do that but that principle is relevant to Jihadist Terrorism as well be it if we are keeping our enemies on the run working mainly through likeminded partners abroad that is the best way to protect them and protect our nation. Once i get to our shores, jessica pandemic, the cost of dealing with attacks on us are going to be much higher. Dana as i come back to the city and see all that we are dealing with, i keep thinking about that moment in time that china had to try to contain it and they didnt take it and now all of us are having to suffer the consequences. But we will fight it and we will beat it. Congratulations on battleground. Thanks so much from a pleasure to be with you. Dana political fights have gone from the Kitchen Table to the front yard.

Dana its in election years of that means voters across america are putting signs on their lawns and houses but thats not sitting well with some other people who are taking matters and signs into their own hands. Douglas kennedy with more. Hey, dana, declaring support for a political candidate is a practice as old as america itself. Unfortunately this year that practice is being met with some aggression. So obviously they have no idea there is a camera here watching them paid absolutely not and even better, i have them changeo the stop sign. Trump supporter jim has caught multiple people knocking over his trump sign in his democratleaning will adelphia suburb. A similar story to biden supporter janet in her rural republican county. For you so yeah, dana, we talked to a lot of people in pennsylvania and they are getting their signs stolen right off their yard, one guy had to chain his sign to a stop sign as we heard and theres just a lot more signs this year, 140,000 more biden signs then there were in 2016 when Hillary Clinton basically neglected the investment in science and this year democrats are investing in science but it is causing a sign competition here in pennsylvania. Dana we had a little Technical Glitch but we are going to try to air that either later today or on monday because i know theyve been disappearing and i know some people have some creative ways of making sure their signs do not get taken down. Thanks, douglas. Thank you, dana. Dana nascar fans are gearing up for the second race of the nascar truck series tonight at las vegas motor speedway. As i understand, you are from las vegas so this will be an exciting race for you. Yeah, its always good to call a las vegas race and yeah, its our second made in the playoffs. Its going to be electric and all bets are off. Dana what should we be watching for . As far as vegas and that style of track, the draft is huge. So the trucks are able to produce a bigger draft of the nascar cars. Strategy will come into play and, no pun intended but you will probably see some gambling on the strategy. Dana thats got to be part of the fun. Im curious on your thoughts in terms of Michael Jordan getting into the nascar race family. I think its an Incredible Opportunity for Michael Jordan himself, his Business Ventures and as far as his ownership value in nascar, you know, hes been in North Carolina forever, all of us are based in the North Carolina area so i know the state government, the city, everybody is going to be there to help that program find success and with Bubba Wallace driving it gives them the renewed energy to know hes a secure place to go race and go for race wins. So i think its a great opportunity for nascar, Michael Jordan, Bubba Wallace and everybody involved. Dana i think, first to figure out how to be able to continue to push forward and make sure the races happen and it seems like its gone very well and just a thought on that process but also the fans that you have. Its been an incredible collaboration from everybody. The states, local counties, cities. Nascar came up with an approved Protocol Program now up to 48 pages that all the teams and drivers have respected, even when we went to New Hampshire we had to have a letter signed by the governor upon arrival. Most of our bubble that all of us have protected and stayed in has been respected and thats been the key thing. But ill tell you, the biggest thing we miss is our race fans. We dont have hundreds of thousands routing is on, some states have opened up very limited capacity and thats where we miss our fans as drivers and our sponsors are telling us to keep pushing, run up front and for me im still eligible in the playoffs, we are in the mix. Dana i know you do and i know theyre going to be watching this weekend. Kurt busch, thank you. You got it, thank you. Dana up next, he made history once before, now one former astronaut is looking to change the way we explore. Veterans with a va loan.

Dana good news, we got douglas kennedys package on the political signage back on, take a look. Obviously they have no idea theres a camera over here watching this. Absolutely not and even better i have them change to the stop sign. Trump supporter jim has caught multiple people knocking over his trump signs in his democratleaning philadelphia suburb. A similar story to a biden supporter janet in her rural republican county. For you they are coming on your property to steal your science. Yeah, its kind of weird, it feels unsafe. Its a fear being expressed across the state of pennsylvania as both parties here report these huge upticks in signstealing, sign vandalism and the general hostility to differing political views. There is horn honking, middle fingers, yelling and screaming . There is astonishingly, amazingly horrible stuff said to me about my signs. Donald trump shocked the political world when he turned the keystone state read. Election night, 2016. Fox news decision desk has called pennsylvania for donald trump. That surprising victory in the states 20 electoral votes make pennsylvania ground zero, of battleground intensity in 2020. Still, some see sign stealing as a sign of something greater. Now happening in our national psyche. Groupthink. On behalf of the group we feel we have this right to shut down the others voice. We dont want to discuss it. Another factor in you make at least in pennsylvania is there is simply a lot more political science. Weve distributed over 140,000 signs in pennsylvania. The man responsible for most of the states biden signs. He says for years about the Clinton Campaign neglected sign investment while Trump Supporters swamp the state. They started a statewide competition and now you are seeing all these signs being torn down torn down. Thats part of having a polarized political environment, i believe, and its just gotten worse. They just want to agree to disagree. You just want your view respected it. Absolutely, First Amendment protected speech and it shouldnt be interfered with. I just want to be able to talk and listen and find some common ground. Common ground, dana, is increasingly difficult to find but hopefully they will find it after watching that package. Dana i hope so, its happening all across america. Thank you, douglas. We are continuing to celebrate hispanic heritage month here at fox news. Today, how nasas first hispanicamerican astronaut is working to revolutionize space travel. Hey, brian. We spent 25 years as a nasa astronaut. We are trying to make transportation in space go fast. The founder of ad astra, a Rocket Propulsion company dedicated to the development of an advance plasma rocket. Can you explain what your company is trying to accomplish . Imagine the mission to mars in a matter of two months. In a matter of year. Though new rocket engine will be ready to fly within three years. For the 70yearold its a combination of an illustrious career in space as nasas first hispanicamerican astronaut. The moment of lift off in the first flight was something that i will never forget. Its a tremendous ride. Born in costa rica at just 18 years old, chang diaz came to the United States with just 50 in his pocket. In 1980 he became an astronaut and is 1 of 2 astronauts was flown on seven Space Shuttle missions. He was the second astronaut to log more than 1,000 hours in space. In 2012, chang diaz was inducted into the nasa hall of fame. Today i am most thankful to this great nation that in 1968 opened the doors for me, to the american dream. One of the things dr. Franklin chang diaz says he is optimistic about this country, he points to the chaos and unrest and said it space was a great unifier. Dana thats a remarkable story and i wonder about what it means for young hispanic people here in america to see that kind of success story. Well, yeah, you know, its incredible, i didnt know about his story so just knowing it is great but 11 other latino nasa astronauts followed him. Thank you for joining us, everyone. Im dana perino, i will see you on the five. Tgif, you never know whats going to happen on the five on a friday, right, john roberts . John friday only means its two days closer to being monday. Dana thats true. John good afternoon, i am john roberts in for bill hemmer this friday. Right now we are waiting to hear from President Trump in atlanta, he is set to speak about black Economic Empowerment in the next few minutes, a busy day for the president. Earlier he spoke at a roundtable in florida, also has events in virginia and washington, d. C. , today. Meanwhile, jill and joe biden paid their respects to the late justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg on capitol hill this morning. President trump says he will announce his pick to fulfill a
