Joining me right now Hermes Investment chief strategist phil orlando, fox business Dagen Mcdowell, special panelist for the week, coauthor of the new book, the cost, the wall street assistant Editorial Page EditorJames Freeman. Let me kick it off with you, phil, 8 days before the election . I think the big news certainly is beginning to be the gdp flash on thursday. Number north of 32 . It will be the strongest quarter in the history of the United States reversing the Second Quarter which was the weakest quarter in the United States, in its history, again, more good corporate earnings news. We are about a quarter of a way through. Earnings coming in a lot stronger than expected. So i know that we will see this tremendous gdp number when we get it this week, but this is pretty much after a huge contraction in the Second Quarter. Is this just a simple snapback, phil, what does this tell you about the Fourth Quarter and 2021 . Well, the pace to recovery is the thing to focus on. As the economy collapsed an we fell into the deepest recession in history in the Second Quarter, our view is that we could get gdp back to normal maybe somewhere 22 or so. The speed of the economy says we will be back to normal in the middle of next year. The labor market, auto, housing, consumer spending, manufacturing, everything is is clicking right a monday, and, look, we do this for a living and we know the economy is coming out strongly. Fact that the number is coming out a week before the election, the average person who doesnt focus on the economies every day, this may come as news to them that we are bouncing as quickly as we are. Maria great point. Let me bring in James Freeman, go ahead, james. James phil, if i understand you, we are seeing the resiliency of the American Economy or you think this is the result of earlier in stimulus plans . Phil i think its a combination of of all of that. Certainly the Federal Reserve is all in from a Monetary Policy standpoint. I think congress, the administration did a good job on phases 1, 2, 3 and 3 and a half, we are obviously stalled on phase 4. But the American People, you know, businesses, consumers, individuals have been extraordinarily resilient through this and we are trying to get our lives back to normal. So i think you throw that into the pot and here we are with a very strong Third Quarter that we will see on thursday. Maria real quick on earnings and big tech, phil, we have apple, facebook, parent of google coming out, amazon, boeing reporting later in the week while the first rook at Third Quarter gdp out as you mentioned. Whats your take on earnings, phil, and is that going to drive markets as well . How has the thirdquarter season has been looking to you . Phil shaping up beautifully. Earnings were supposed to be down 21 year over year. We are down 12 so far. 83 of the economies are beating by about 17 and a half percent, thats the second highest beat rate on record. So corporate earnings in the Third Quarter are coming in beautifully as well. Maria all right, we will leave it there. Phil, good to see you this morning. Phil thanks, maria, thanks for having me.

Maria texas tossup, new poll from Dallas Morning News and university of texas shows joe biden has gained narrow lead texas. 2point lead in september. Joining me right now Washington Free bacon staff reporter, christy clark. Thank you very much for joining us. What do you make of the polls, texas typically a red state, is it turning blue. When i see the polls they are nothing more than democratic ploy to push the get out to vote effort. In all reality we know that the polls are within the margin of error. They are not particularly accurate in terms of saying that biden is winning by some large margins. These are small margins an its democrats trying to show disenfranchised democrats in the typically red state that they are going to they should get out and vote and its pathetic, real reporting would show these are tight races and at the same time they do show favorability toward Senate Republicans and House Republicans and they generally show a lean red yet for some reason the media are so interested in pushing the 48, 49 poll that slightly favors biden as is if texas will completely turn blue and thats completely inaccurate. Maria so i mean, in these of the polls, who are they polling . Do you think they are polling more democrats . Do you think they are using landlines versus cell phones . Give us the architecture doing polls. People have an understanding that when somebody calls them up, maybe of these people may be democratic voters, they feel dis disenfranchised, they are absolutely terrified to talk about President Trump as if they are favorable because they are demonized and its sad because many people will two out and vote for President Trump even though they say they will not vote for President Trump. This is the silent majority. We talk about it all of the time. Maria yeah, i felt that way when i saw that poll that said who do you think your neighbor is going to vote for. Oh, 39 i think my vote will vote for trump, well, im just asking for a friend. With a week away until the election, Trump Campaign is touting the policies most resonating with voters, economy, law and order, i spoke with white house chief of staff mark meadows about that, take a listen. Lets talk policy for a moment and what you believe is going to be resinate with the American People 9 days out of an election. Well, joe biden is the only candidate other than Walter Mandel that ran on increasing taxes, middleincome americans, individual mandate, tax on middleincome wage earners but those below that, you start to see that it didnt work well for Walter Mandel. Hes passed two pieces of legislation that is meaningful and one hes running away from. Hes not about secure communities whether in suburbs or cities or anything else. His record is real clear, his rhetoric is misleading at best. Maria and chrissy, the tax bite could be severe, let me bring in James Freeman, what can you say about this . James well, i think the real question is to what extent the biden tax increases on business are going to be appreciated understood by people looking to vote here. We see the Hoover Institution study showing 5 million jobs destroyed over the next decade under the Biden Economic agenda. Is that is that an issue thats resonating on the campaign trail, chrissy . Oh, right now what we are seeing is that so many people are looking forward to american future economy and, i think, what President Trump should be pushing this week is honing town that the Obamabiden Administration oversaw the slowest Economic Growth and precoronavirus trump oversaw one of the most prosperous economies in American History. So right now American History shows or, you know, the economy is going to show that if you want a repeat of what happened between 2017 and 2019 you are going to need to reelect President Trump. Maria yeah, chrissy, good to have you this morning. We write all about it in the new book, its coming out tomorrow. Be sure to order, you can preorder it right now at thecostbook. Com. We will be right back. Maria welcome back, the hunter biden scandal, former Vice President joe biden speaking out on 60 minutes, son hunter and laptop which shows foreign business tales that he was i think to while his father was president. Tubal the recent leak of material allegedly from hunters computer is part of a Russian Disinformation Campaign in are from what i read and know the Intelligence Community warned the president that giuliani was being fed disinformation from the russians. And we also know that putin is trying very hard to spread disinformation about joe biden, and so when you put the combination of russia, giuliani and the president together, its just what it is. Its a Smear Campaign because he has nothing else he wants to talk about what did he run on . Maria we learned thats not true. National intelligence director John Ratcliffe squashed any claims that the hunter bombshell is russian disinformation. Is this russian disinformation, director . So, maria, its funny that some of the people that complained the most about intelligence being mittized are the ones politicizing intelligence and unfortunately in this case, it is adam schiff, the chairman of the House Intelligence Committee who as you pointed out on friday said that the Intelligence Community believes that Hunter Bidens laptop and emails on it are part of Russian Disinformation Campaign. Let me be clear, the Intelligence Community doesnt believe that because theres no intelligence that supports that and we havent shared any information with members of congress that its disinformation campaign. Its simply not true. Maria James Freeman, your reaction to this. They are trying to color this as if its no big deal and you have Serious Business going on that has taken place in the last several years between hunter biden partners and Foreign Companies tied to those governments while his father was negotiating u. S. Policy with china and ukraine. James yeah, we have seen it all over the world, lucrative arrange mints for which hunter biden is unqualified and they try to justify he was expert in ukrainian natural gas or real estate or what have you. Odonnell let joe biden off the hook. I would hope a lot of people in the prez start asking joe biden the emails are real, correct, and we now have mr. Tony bobulinski directly contradicting joe bidens claims that he never talked to hunter biden about any of his businesses. It would be great to see a reporter get mr. Biden on the record on these things instead of just allowing him to take swings
