Jillian as we expected but now we can confirm the Supreme Court vacancy is going to be one of the topics discussed at the first president ial debate which is happening tuesday the 20 ninth moderated by Chris Wallace. That is one of the topics, we can bring the other ones up for you, trump biden record, covid19, the economy, race and violence, the integrity of the election. Todd obviously this is Ground Breaking news, all eyes will be on the Supreme Court nomination, but lets not forget about violence in the cities. For donald trump, for his perspective, he needs to stay on message between now and election day to get that undecided suburban woman in the swing state. That will decide this election based on the pollsters you speak to, not saying there are swaths of voters will vote on the Supreme Court, i feel like he has those people, stay on message. Jillian moderate and independents will have a heavy sway. This could sway moderates or independents, conversation about the Supreme Court, what you mentioned in the last hour, we didnt think this was going to be such a conversation, people would necessarily be voting for. We didnt think this would be a topic in the debate especially the first one. Some people are opposed to the big topics, tom steyer sent out we, quote, this is unacceptable, the Climate Crisis cannot be ignored, sign our petition and demand the Climate Crisis is discussed on the debate stage, reminded the two other president ial debates in addition to the Vice President ial debate. Todd i dont think anybody is taking a step back and saying Climate Change isnt important. We always clean water, we always cleanair but there are things that are literally pressing within the next few weeks that are very important that we hear from both candidates on and that is why these are the topics but there is more time to go. Jillian people are voting now. A lot of these topics need to be discussed. Look at what you say at home, twitter user says the topic seems to be the topic at the forefront of a lot of peoples mind at the moment, they are perfect for the first debate with two more debates to come.

With the soaking, scrubbing and rinsing built right in. For sparklingclean dishes, the first time. Cascade platinum. Todd thanks for joining us on wednesday morning, youre looking at capitol hill, lawmakers avoiding a shutdown in a bipartisan vote on a stock back funding bill. Jillian it was almost stopped by clashes over farm age. Ranking member congressman james comeour. You are a farmer. Im curious what you think of this, what do we need to know . Another example of nancy pelosi and the house democrats, they have clear and utter misunderstanding of agriculture and Rural America, the Credit Corporation is very important to Rural America and also could perhaps be the fact that policy she did understand what she was blocking, she has precedent against Rural America and farmers because she knows they will vote for trump and overwhelmingly for republicans. Im glad republicans stood up for farmers and Rural America and got this funding back in the continuing resolution and pastor last night. Todd nope unintended when you said utter. Lets get back to the serious topic of the day. Something that are in the spending bill which does fund the government through december 11, 8 billion in nutritional assistance, flexible you foodstamp requirements, expanding the School Meals Program and farm aid. A lot of our viewers our farmers. Did this bill go far enough to support the men and women who farm our heartland . A terrible time to be a farmer. Farmers are at the frontlines of the trade war with china but every farmer i know and understand that they have to do this. This is something for the future of their children and grandchildren, we have to stand up to china and get a free and fair trade deal. They support the president but in the meantime the president and Congress Half past a series of assistance programs for farmers, they all flow through the commodity, that is why it was so important to get that put back in the budget. Pelosi didnt understand or was taking it out on farmers and Rural America. Jillian everyone was wondering where mitt romney would fall on the vote on the president s Supreme Court nominee, now we know he does support that. Were you surprised . I am not. Mitt romney is a good man. He represents one of the most conservative states in america, use our. I dont think he could sleep at night if he passed on an opportunity to give utah another Supreme Court justice. This has been a sore spot with conservatives for decades how liberal the Supreme Court has been. This will be the president s hopefully third nomination to the Supreme Court, a third of the Supreme Court under donald trump and if this selection is as good as his previous two i think the people of utah will be happy and mitt romney put aside his disdain for the president and is going to do the right thing and fill the Supreme Court seat. Todd are you worried about how democrats can retaliate to this . I am. We all heard rumors for months the democrats have been whispering in their big donors liberal bases ears that if they took over the senate, regain the presidency and maintain the house they would add two new Supreme Court seats to stack the Supreme Court, try to make washington dc and puerto rico states to give them four new senate seats. We have all heard the fact the democrats are campaigning, they will try to stack the court and stacked the senate with two additional states so the president s responsibility to nominate, the senates responsibility to confirm and i am glad they are doing what they were elected to do to fill that seat. Todd thanks for getting up with us, we appreciate your insight this morning. Jillian it is 17 after the hour. Seattle city council pushing ahead with the funding the police, they are paying 6 figures to find alternatives. Todd donald trump urging the world to hold china accountable for the pandemic, gordon chang says this was far worse than a coverup, he joins us next. Of respect.

Liberty. The Chinese Government and the World Health Organization which is virtually controlled by china falsely declared there was no evidence of human to human transmission. Later they falsely said people without symptoms would not spread the disease. The United Nations must hold china accountable for their actions. Todd donald trump urging the un general is eligible china accountable for unleashing covid19, calling of the World Health Organization for failing to act in the early days of the pandemic. Gordon chang said china purposely spread the disease beyond its borders, he joins me to explain. That is quite a claim. You are saying china weapon iced the virus by purposely allowing it to spread beyond its borders. Correct. In december, january, february, xi jinping new would lead to the spread of the disease which means it is a deliberate act. He knew probably in the second week of december that the coronavirus was highly contagious but he tried to convince the world that it was not. He enlisted the World Health Organization which issued a statement on january 9th in the infamous tweet on january 14th that this disease was not contagious. Xi jinping sought not arrivals from china when he was locking down wuhan and other cities which means he knew these measures were effective in spreading disease, and spreading the disease beyond china. The chinese ambassador, china firmly rejects and opposes groundless accusations made by the United States against china when the International Community is going all out to fight covid19 the United States is spreading a political virus. Lets what steps to the un takes a hold china accountable. To confiscate chinese assets in their borders, this is absolutely necessary. We dont want to impose costs on china but if we dont, covid19 is not the last pathogen that will escape from chinese soil, we have more than 200,000 deaths from this disease in america, 1 million worldwide, this is a crime against all humanity. We focus on so many others. Mike pompeo threatening with sanctions, you say this is the right move. Piece is breaking out in the region, bahrain and united arab emirates, Sunni Arab States will do that, that will create stability in the region for the first time in decades. Arms sales, this is completely unacceptable. Todd china doing a little bit about this. That is part of the motivation. They want to destabilize the region by establishing a strategic partnership. They are indicated irans terrorist organisms. It does irritate the United States. Cloudy and foggy world you are a beacon of information on this issue and we thank you for consistently allowing us time to let us know what is going on. Appreciate it.
