Transcripts For KTVU FOX News Sunday With Chris Wallace 2024

Another comefrombehind victory with Senior Advisor Corey Lewandowski and we will ask minnesota senator amy klobuchar, a member of bidens inner circle, about his path to 270 electoral votes. Then. With less than 48 hours to go, we will bring in our sunday panel for a look at what new fox poll tell us about the state of the race. And our power player of the week, the head of the fox news Decision Team, calling the winners and losers on Election Night. All right now on fox news sunday. Chris and hello again from fox news in washington. In his closing hours of the 2020 campaign, donald trump and joe biden are making the traditional lastminute blitz of swing states. But theres nothing traditional about this year. More than 92 million americans have already voted. That is 65 , almost twothirds of the total votes cast in 2016. But the candidates are still trying to win over the millions who will vote on election day. We have new fox polls on the state of the race. Who the voters trust to do a better job on the big issues facing the country when it comes to the coronavirus, the trust biden by a decisive 5640 margin. On the economy, the president leads by one point, 49 to 48 . And when asked which should be the governments top priority, voters choose limiting the covid spread over restarting the economy 61 to 36 . In the president ial horse race, biden maintains an eightpoint lead. 52 to 44 buried down from ten points in early october. If we begin hour with fox team coverage, peter doocy traveling with the Biden Campaign, but lets start with Kristin Fisher at the white house. And the closing days of this campaign, President Trumps strategy is looking very similar to what it was four years ago despite the pandemic. Once again, his signature rallies front and center. 14 rallies in seven states in the final 72 hours before election day and almost half of them are in pennsylvania. I guess it has something to do with pennsylvania. Im going to be here all day today. President trump spending the final saturday before november 3rd entirely in pennsylvania, a sign he knows it may all come down to the states 20 electoral votes, but the president s path to 270 starts and ends in florida. If he loses his newly adopted home state, and he will almost certainly lose a second term. But if he wins florida and pennsylvania, a state he won in 2016 by only 44,000 votes, add in iowa and ohio and President Trump as well in his way to 270. Another possible path. And hello in wisconsin. President trump again runs the table in the rust belt, scooping up wisconsin, michigan and pennsylvania. All states that were decided by less than a. 4 years ago. But every scenario hinges on keeping texas red. Can you imagine going to texas saying we are going to take your guns away and by the way we are going to close up every oil well you have . Vote for me, vote for joe. I dont think so. I dont think so. The Trump Campaign is banking on that silent majority and a strong election day turnout. While they dont have a lot of money left, they do have a strong ground game and an impressive voter database. They are also trying to repeat history with another late night rally on election eve, once again in grand rapids, michigan. Chris. Chris Kristin Fisher reporting from the white house. Kristen, thanks. Now lets bring in peter doocy, who was covering the Biden Campaign in philadelphia. Peter. Chris, bidens strategy hinges on pennsylvania. Its where his first events were, its where his last events will be. Today is going to be his 17th day here in the general, by far the most of any battleground and he is confident. We are going to win this election. Last night he described the mood among advisors. Very good. Very high. We are hopeful. Relying on the Democratic Party strongest closer. I love joe biden and he will be a great president. Barack obama. On tuesday you can choose change. Obamas role in trying to help biden reach 270 electoral votes includes two stops monday, florida. I do believe that a path to victory runs to florida. And georgia. Georgia has changed a lot. Incredible turnout. Most of bidens closing arguments is about trump. Its time for donald trump to pack his bags and go home. And more than any issue, bidens campaign has been about character. He does not have a meanspirited bone in his body. Although he is unafraid to show a fighting spirit. The president much of it for himself i love this likes to pitcher himself as a tough guy. When youre in high school, when youve liked to take a shot . Anyway, thats a different story. Biden could be, in many different battleground states in the final days, but hes just going to be in this one today trying to run up the score here in philadelphia at an event where in precovid times traditionally they would give People Leaving Church a ride to go vote, souls to the polls. Chris. Chris peter doocy with the Biden Campaign. Peter, thanks for that. Now lets turn to Trump Campaign Senior Advisor Corey Lewandows Corey Lewandowski. Corey, welcome back to fox news sunday. Thank you, chris, great to be here. Chris i want to start with the latest covid numbers. On friday more than 99,000 new cases, 16 states, reported single day records, including pennsylvania, ohio, michigan and iowa. More than 46,000 people hospitalized, thats up 25 , over the last two weeks. And dr. Anthony fauci, the governments top expert on Infectious Disease tells the Washington Post today we are in for a whole lot of hurt. You could not possibly be positioned more poorly. He says he hasnt spoken to the president since early october. Corey, hasnt the president failed at his biggest job this year, containing the virus . Corey well, no, of course not. You look around the world, this president was the very first to act, banning flights coming in from mainland china, and less you were an american citizen or permanent green card holder and joe biden called him xenophobic for doing that and said only three weeks later that he agreed with the president s decision. You look at what this president has been able to do. Any person who has been impacted by this disease who needed a ventilator, this is an instruction provided a period when the state of new york and california were concerned about hospital beds, the president sent u. S. Navy ships there to serve as official hospital resources. He turned the Javits Center in new york into a turning atomic Emergency Care facility and what we saw, very candidly, was most of the time the experts were wrong. They told us that our hostels would be overrun and that you wouldnt have access to the care and where we are today is through operation warp speed, people are going to have the opportunity to have a solution to this pandemic and more importantly than that, the survival rate right now and im not belittling this, is 99. 99 if youre under the age of 50 years old if you get covid19 so we have to be careful chris well, that is certainly corey, that is accentuating the positive. The fact is more than 230,000 americans have died so far from this disease. On wednesday, a thousand people died. On thursday, a thousand people died. Heres what the president had to say about that this week. You know, our doctors get more money if somebody dies from covid. You know that, right . I mean, our doctors are very smart people, so what they do is they say im sorry, but everybody dies of covid. Chris what is the president s evidence that doctors, many of whom are risking their lives treating these patients, are in fact lining their pockets by saying there are inflating the number of covid debts . Corey i havent seen that evidence, but we have seen on multiple occasions instances where people have claimed that they have been died from covid19 and that wasnt the case. We saw fox news actually did a whole expose on an individual that got in a motorcycle accident. Maybe he had covid but died in a headon collision. Fox news exposed that entire hypocrisy, so look, i think we are categorizing sometimes individuals who may have covid that are dying from that and claiming it as a covid death, which is not accurate. Chris but there are also, according to a number of studies, that the number of people who actually are dying from covid is greatly undercounted. But we are talking specifically about the president saying that doctors are inflating the number of covid debts. Heres the president of the American Medical Association responded to the president s claim. Im going to put it on the screen. The suggestion that doctors in the midst of a Public Health crisis are over counting covid19 patients or lying to line their pockets is a malicious and outrageous, and completely misguided charge. Does the president stand by his accusation that doctors are profiteering off this virus . Corey you know, chris, i havent spoken to the president about this directly so i cant answer that but i can tell you chris you understand its a pretty serious its a pretty serious thing to say about the nations doctors who are on the front lines. Corey look, we have enormous respect for doctors who are serving frontline patients and they do an amazing job by and large. We know that this president has provided them the ppe equipment that theyve needed to be able to do their jobs because the previous admin attrition our stockpiles empty. So because of the work that this administration has been able to do, Health Care Workers and frontline workers actually have the equipment now to help combat this virus and stop the spread of it further. Chris i want to turn to the economy. The president celebrated the gdp numbers in the third quarter, and they shipped he should, they were up 7 for the third quarter, which is a really sizable increase but the fact is we have the big drop off in the second quarter, rise in the third quarter. The economy is still 3. 5 smaller now, right now, then it was at the end of 2019 before covid19 and i want you to look at these more recent numbers. Just this week the stock markets had their worst week since march and 750,000 more americans filed new jobless claims. With the virus spiking and with some more lockdowns happening as a result of that, isnt the economy still in trouble . Corey the economy is lavishly on a super vshaped return, 33. 1 growth is unprecedented in American History and more than that, chris, people want to get back to work. They want to do so safely. If they want to make sure you have the leadership of this country even people the opportunity to provide for their families, because what joe biden said, he said he would listen to the quote unquote scientists and he would lock our economy down in perpetuity and you know what, chris chris no, no, no. Corey, i have to correct you. He has never said that. He said he would listen to the scientists and in fact he now says that if he locks down im just telling you the truth, if he locks down, it will be specific areas, it wont be a general lockdown. Go ahead. Corey but the real concern is odors that hurt, those lockdowns . Government employees continue to get their paychecks but Small Business owners and particularly those in hospitality and Restaurant Business are going out of business. We see it every day. These recording policies from some of these governors that say you can only operate at 25 of your business, you cant make a living, chris. And again, im not trying to minimize the impact of covid. One life lost is one too many but i tell you what, i have to be able to provide for my family and so to those Small Business owners who get up and sacrifice every day and go to work and if our frontline workers including police and firefighters and the people who work at walmart every day can get up and go to work, how come our country cant do that to chris lets you say that the economy is on a super vshaped, down sharply, now back up sharply but lets take a look at the latest fox poll. When asked about the condition of the economy, 36 say good or excellent while 64 said only fair or poor. Corey, are twothirds of americans wrong . Corey chris, people are feeling the impact of what this chinese virus has done to our economy and its unequivocal that before this virus hit in february of this year, we have the greatest economy the world had ever seen, the lowest unemployment rates amongst africanamericans an end hispanicamericans and asianamericans and we have more people working then any time in our nations history and this president made the decision with the experts not that we had an underlying economic problem, we had a Health Problem so we closed the economy to slow the spread of this virus and now we are opening a backup. Some of the policies of some of these governors as you look at new york, some of these restaurants and businesses, theyll never come back and that is worse you cant have the solution worse than the disease and in some places thats exactly with happening. Chris all right. Finally, i want to go through some of the ways that President Trump and the republicans are trying to limit either voting or vote counting. I have a list here. If the Trump Campaign has videotaped philadelphia voters putting ballots in drop boxes. In texas, the governor ordered only one drop box in each. Republicans are suing to invalidate a hundred thousand votes in houston after officials set up driving through Voting Centers and end of out of the trim campaign is suing to get the signatures of every voter and democratic leaning clark county. Are the president and the g. O. P. Engaged in Voter Suppression . Corey no, theyre not, chris. We had some people who went to the philadelphia town hall to watch some of the voting take place in a public building. The video is widely available. They were removed from the police from that from watching that transpire. Look, this is about the integrity of the process and in a state like nevada, to verify via signature that the person who filled out the ballot is actually the one who signed it and sent it back in, i dont think anybody in america has a problem with that. Signature verification is something that takes place in most of the big states that do this well and particularly the state of florida. They verify the signature on your absentee ballot. Once youve requested and one to send it in and by the way, i think thats a perfectly fine thing. I think most people in the country think that it should be one vote, one person and that signature should match chris would certainly agree, you only get we only get one vote. I want to ask you one last question, corey. Listen to what the president said this week about vote counting. It would be very, very proper and very nice if a winner where declared on november 3rd instead of counting ballots for two weeks, which is totally inappropriate and i dont believe that thats by our laws. Chris corey, you well know that in counting ballots after election day, always happens. In 2016, three states that the president carried, North Carolina, iowa, ohio, all counted votes after election day by law. Corey you know, chris, what the president s real concern is and the supreme courts mates and rulings on this is trying to get any vote sinned by election as possible. The concern is when you have some states that dont require a postage mark on their so we dont know when they were filled out, they dont require signature verification and some states theyll be counting nine or ten days after the election, i think is the most industrialized country in the world we can do better than that, chris. We know that people can vote, we know how to count quickly, so lets get it done because i think this election is going to be won on Election Night with donald trump carried in florida and North Carolina and ohio and michigan and pennsylvania and wisconsin and if thats the case, there will be no need to continue the count because it will be a resounding victory. Chris well, i certainly agree we would like to have a clear winner on election day. We may not get it. Thank you. I was thinking we first met when you are running the Trump Campaign all the way back in 2015. We will be watching how the world turns on tuesday night, thanks, corey.

Chris on this final weekend of campaigning, joe biden left his home base of delaware for stops in mustwin pennsylvania and upper midwest swing states. Joining us now from minneapolis, senator amy klobuchar, a key supporter of the Vice President. Senator, a lot of people were surprised on friday to see not just President Trump, but former Vice President biden in the state of minnesota, a state that hasnt voted for a republican for president in 11 straight elections, since Richard Nixon back in 1972, but theres a reason. Lets look at the latest real clear politics average of recent polls. Biden leads the president in minnesota 48 t
