Markets lower, as investors await the september retail sales number this morning. This morning, were seeing the dow down but the nasdaq up. Yesterday, in the red for a third session, marking the longest losing streak in about a month. Joining me right now is chief economist, lindsey pisgo. Joining us this morning is Dagen Mcdowell and james freeman. Great to see everybody this morning. Lindsey, kick us off. Lets talk about the backdrop. Were waiting on retail sales this morning. We had that sharp contraction in growth in the Second Quarter. What are you expecting in the final number for the Third Quarter and how does the Fourth Quarter look for you right now in terms of growth numbers, lindsey . Well, i think were going to see a pop in the Third Quarter with growth up around 20 following that near 30 of 30 contraction in the Second Quarter which is a welcome step in the right direction. Even with a double dick it improvement double digit improvements in q3, its unlikely this is the beginning of a vshaped recovery. The number one risk for the economy remains the virus which is far from contained. We expect the pathway Going Forward to be prolonged, bum pie and uncertain. I think the economy will struggle to get back to the sustained 2ish percent level for some time. We are not on solid footing yet but we are making vast improvements from the low level in the Second Quarter. Maria thats what were seeing in europe right now with the number of cases steepening in italy and a new set of lockdown rules are in place. James freeman, jump in here. Thanks. Yeah, lindsey, you mentioned the number one risk to the economy is the coronavirus. I think some people would argue the number one risk is the reaction to the coronavirus and im just wondering, among the big risks, do you worry about is there a limit on how much debt the federal government can take on in these stimulus measures . Governor randall quarrels worrying about whether the private market can handle treasuryis issuance and maybe te fed has to keep buying for that reason. Is there some limit in which we can rely on Government Debt instead of real Economic Activity to drive the economy. I certainly hope there is a limit. And to your point, absolutely. I should have said that the risk is not the virus itself but the policies put in place aimed at stemming the spread of the virus. Thats the biggest risk to the economy. But youre absolutely right. This is one of the concerns that were hearing from gop senators is that we cant continually artificially support the economy Going Forward with unlimited federal dollars. There has to be some sort of balance. And to be fair, weve already spent nearly 3 trillion on everything from loan subsidies to extended Unemployment Benefits to employer tax credits. So there has been a tremendous amount of support already pumped into the economy and now the concern is we have to see some sort of organic growth. We cant continue to rely on federal dollars. Maria look at yields. U. S. Treasury yields moving lower as investors are monitoring the stimulus talks. Real quick, weve got retail sales coming out in two andahalf hours, whats priced into this market here in terms of retail sales for september, lindsey . Sing were looking for about i think were looking for about a half a percentage point increase, slightly below of what we saw last month. Demand is very modest.

Com promo maria welcome back. Dueling town halls last night, President Trump and joe biden appearing on abc and nbc in lieu of canceled debates. Both took questions from voters. Do you take a test every day . No, but i take a lot of tests. And you dont know if you took a test the day of the debate. Possibly i did, possibly i didnt. I know nothing about qanon. I know theyre very much against bed filpedophilia. I tell you what i do know about, i know about antifa and i know about the radical left and i know how violent they are and a how vicious they are and i know how theyre burning down cities run by democrats. Whats your view on the crime bill wrote in 1994. Was it a mistake to support it . Yes, it was. Heres where the mistake came. The mistake came in terms of what the states did locally. You said i would not get into Court Packing, i would not pack the court. Thats not what youre saying now. If i answered the question directly then all the focus would be on whats biden going to do if he wins. Instead of on is it appropriate what is going on now. So youre still not a fan . Im not a fan. It depends on how this turns out. Maria joining me right now is real clear politics cofounder and president , tom bevin. He could give us nonanswers in so many ways and thats what he keeps doing. Its good to see you this morning. Thanks for being here. Your reaction. What was your takeaway of the dueling townhalls last night . I watched them both. Look, the joe biden townhall was sort of like a pillow fight and the trump townhall was more like a ufc match. Every time trump gets on stage he is battling against the moderator it seems and in this instance Savannah Guthrie was from the beginning. He had to denounce qanon which is a group that no american has ever heard of, this obscure group and hes forced to denounce them. On the other side joe biden sort of sailed through. He wasnt really pressed. I imagine if the moderators had switched places or the treatment would have been different that joe biden would have been forced to announce antifa. He would have been asked about hunter biden. It would have been a completely different atmosphere. This is how the campaign has been going thus far in terms of the media treatment of these two individuals. Maria what a joke. Will the media ever get its reputation back . One topic that was not even mentioned is what you just mentioned a minute ago and that is the former Vice President was not asked about his son Hunter Bidens links to ukraine china, these emails obtained by fox news overnight describe a, quote, lasting and lucrative arrangement, unquote, involving chinas Largest Energy company, tom. Why are these stories not mentioned at all during last nights townhall . It is so obvious to everyone watching that this is a major blockbuster story. Its a situation where if it were reversed it would have been the first question that donald trump was asked. Theres obvious bias in the treatment of these two candidates and the news stories and you go to twitter and facebook and their willingness to sort of censor this so that americans cant make up their own minds. Look, if this story is wrong, if these emails are not true, the New York Post is done. Its reputation is destroyed. And it should be. But there are questions. If the emails are true, this is a huge story and the American Public demands to know or should demand to h know whether the emails are true. There should be a lot of discussion about this story, skeptically of course, but still, if it is true, it is a huge story and has huge implications for the election. But the media has decided that its something that were not going to talk about. Maria unbelievable. Dagen, the other day when john solomon joined us he said that hunter biden had pocketed tens of millions of dollars just from ukraine. Thats not including the billion that he got from china. Your reaction, dagen . Dagen but tom, President Trump has to make the case on the economy. Based on everyone ive spoken to, that is the only way the president is going to win reelection. You have in polls, he polls better on his handling of the economy but hes still trailing joe biden. Youve had poll after poll where a majority, 50 or more of people say theyre better off today than four years ago. And hes still losing in the polls. How does he make that up . Because again, Savannah Guthrie, well talk about it later, she had him all over the place, denounce White Supremacy, denounce qanon. Hes denounced White Supremacy over and over again. He needs to make the case on heres my economy, heres what youre going to get under joe biden. I think youre right. Polls do show and our real clear politics average hes over 50 of50 job approval on the econom. Its the only issue on which he has a lead over of joe biden. And so i think he does need to look, he needs to redirect some of these questions. If he doesnt want to talk about something, hes free to talk about whatever he wants to and they do need i think trump needs to be laser focused. Maria biden is doing it right. On the economy. Maria hes saying, look, im not going to tell you what i feel about stacking the court because then it will be the headline. What . Theyre letting him get away with it. Its extraordinary to me, really. Ive never seen a president ial candidate get away with the excuse that if i tell you what i think its going to make news, so im not going to tell you. Thats a new one. Maria exactly. But its been working. You know, for joe biden and Kamala Harris, for the past three andahalf, four weeks. Maria im not sure if im buying the polls, though, tom. I mean, you know, my favorite question from some of these polls came a couple weeks ago when they said well, 39 of them said, yeah, i think my neighbor is voting for donald trump. Its sort of like asking for a friend. Right. Well, listen, bidens lead in the National Polls is about nine andahalf percent but in the top six battleground states if you compare where joe biden is to where Hillary Clinton was four years ago, trump is you ahead of where he was four years ago. He has ground to make up in the final three weeks. Maria well be watching. Good to see you this morning. Come back soon. Tom bevin joining us there. Duel townhalls, lots of fallout this morning. President trump and joe biden had a lot to say to voters last night. Well get into some of the substance. Frequent fliers getting a taste of home, one airline brings the food to grocery stores. Its making a buzz this morning. Youre watching mornings with maria, live on fox business. So youre a Small Business, or a big one. You were thriving, but then. Oh. Ah. Okay. Plan, pivot. How do you bounce back . You dont, you bounce forward, with serious and reliable internet. Powered by the largest gig Speed Network in america. But is it secure . Sure its secure. And even if the power goes down, your connection doesnt. So how do i do this . You dont do this. We do this, together. Bounce forward, with comcast business. Maria welcome back.
