I have to. I have a lot of powers with respect to executive orders, and we are looking at that very seriously right now. Harris meanwhile, treasury secretary Steven Mnuchin and white house chief of staff mark meadows headed back to capitol hill to try again to make a deal with lawmakers. However, House Speaker nancy pelosi is telling democrats in her caucus its doubtful they could move a coronavirus bill this week. Top senate democrat, Chuck Schumer, this morning blamed republicans for the stalemate. Democrats are fighting to meet the needs of a desperate nation. Our republican friends, however, President Trump, his aides, and republicans in the senate, do not seem to appreciate the gravity of the situation. This disease has washed over our country like a great flood, and republicans are acting like we need to fix a leaky faucet. Harris this is outnumbered. Im harris faulkner. Here today, host of kennedy on fox business, kennedy herself. Attorney and fox news contributor, emily compagno. Executive director of serve america pac and fox news contributor, marie harf. In the central seat on the virtual couch, greg gutfeld is here, cohost of five, host of the greg gutfeld show, and author of the plus self help for people who hate selfhelp. It feels like a blame game today between the democrats and republicans. Why . Greg well, i think its more on the democrats. Theres a surprise. If youve never bought anything to the table, you cant sit at the table. When you look at Chuck Schumer and now, who is beyond belief, or nancy, who huddles in her massive kitchen surrounded by phalanx of gelato, people vote taking risks and willing to share the blame if they are wrong. The people who are most visibly critical of trump have two strikes against them. They didnt offer any practical advice at the start, they didnt share the risk and they deserve no airing of their concerns. Theres no control group, we dont have a massive past event like this, or a parallel universe where there is america. You cant substantiate their criticisms or claims that there is a better way, because we dont know that. I will say there is good news. This change in telehealth, making it permanent across state lines, is a big deal. It is something we can control. We may not be able to control the virus or cure the virus were even get a vaccine for the virus, but we can adjust and innovate along the way and actually improve our lives. We may actually have made a huge advancement toward universal health care, because universal health care is based on affordability. Telehealth is about making Health Affordable grid thats a huge deal. Harris just to further that point, do you see, then, both political sides coming together on something that would look more Like Universal Health care . Greg i think, as innovation makes it easier, its going to take care of itself. Remember, donald trump is in the hold up here. There is no president ive seen that likes writing checks more. Hes not being cheap. Its just the fact that pelosi and all the others just cant take yes for an answer. If they take yes for an answer, he looks good going into november. Harris you know its interesting, kennedy . I know youve interviewed him as well, art laffer, form economics Advisory Board for president reagan, was on last week. He said, if you just take away the payroll tax, if you dont have money already being taken out of peoples checks, you dont have to worry about whether theyve got the stimulus check digitally. Some people are still waiting for the first round, the actual usps mail. Its interesting, because now you see the president talking about that. Art laffer has been saying that for months. We need to get there. Whats your take . Kennedy i wish more republicans were on board with the payroll tax cut. In fact, i have a cheer. Payroll taxcut [collapse] [laughter] it would be helpful psychologically and practically for people who still have jobs, and seems as though he is internalizing the advice of the former advisor, who published an oped about the financial emergency and delay the payroll tax for some time, such as the irs did similarly when they delayed until july, which was a big relief for a lot of people, and im sure there are those who have filed further extensions. My big concern here, i fear the two sides are going to come together and they will do so hastily and irresponsibly, and no one will have a plan as to how we are going to pay for this, and were just going to increase the National Debt more and more, borrow more money from china, and put generations on the hook for it and reduce the economic mobility. That is immoral. Its hard for politicians to look long term, because they only care about the next election cycle, they are using the stimulus money to buy votes, not foster Real Recovery long term for people who are hurting most. Harris wow, you hit the nail on the head there, kennedy, when you said borrow more money from china, as we suffer. Emily, i dont use the word irony very often, but the irony of that is mindblowing. Emily absolutely, harris. I echo everything kennedy said carried step is depth is bipartisan. I have to point out all these economic elements, like proposed tax payroll cuts, are against the backdrop of massive sustained drop in revenue. Granted there are many who have enjoyed benefits during this time, like alcohol, and direct to consumer groceries, but there plenty of industries that are suffering even if just a little bit lik to while trying to stay afloat. We talk about evictions, which is absolute correct that we need to protect against them, but they will have an effect on the mortgage industry we have not yet grasped. The bottom line is this typical congressional blame game going on is not only exhausting but it is sickening during this time. The g. O. P. Needs to come together and the democrats need to approve a stopgap measure while they all figure out how to earn the salary that we pay. Harris marie . Marie i agree that congressional inaction is really sickening, and i think whats frustrating to a lot of people is that the democrats passed a bill in may and the house that would address all of these issues, or many of these issues, and would have prevented the Unemployment Insurance from running out. The republicans in the senate didnt do anything with it and all of june, they didnt do anything with it until the last two days of july when they finally started negotiating within their own party, because there are huge differences within the Republican Party in the senate and with the white house. They ignored it for all of june and for most of july. They knew this deadline was coming up. Today we are where we are, but its important history. Congress needs to come together to address these issues. Executive orders coming from the president will not do it. They are not sustainable. I agree that debt is a huge problem in the long term, but that stimulus money is keeping people in their houses, keeping food on tables, keeping prescriptions that people are able to still get. We need shortterm relief now. The debt is a huge longterm problem that both parties, quite frankly, when theyve been in the oval office, have made worse. Harris you know, greg, i do think its interesting that the president has found a way to get americans to somewhat unite on the issue of what to do next, and forgive the term, because i know its lunch hour in some parts of the country but the constipated nature, the reflexive constipation on capitol hill sorry i had to say it twice. They dont get anything going [laughter] greg the irony that i can bring that out of you, harris. [laughter] harris oh, goodness. Greg is almost as though you can see right through me, because i was actually having issues. But anyway, we wont okay. So, i think its pretty amazing. We dont give america enough credit. We did something that has really never been done. We got everybody to go home and stay home and do things he wouldnt do a year ago. Imagine if harris from a year ago could jump into the future now and walked on the street and say, we got everyone to wear masks . Why are people doing this to meg why is nobody in midtown . Whats going on . Did a bomb go off . And you realize this is all voluntary, which is insane. I have a question, because i dont understand the debt thing. Im ignorant on this, maybe kennedy can answer it. Do we really have to worry about inflation anymore in an absurd event like this . If we are just printing money and it is stimulus, is this a freebie . Because we arent even talking about inflation anymore. We are expanding the pile of money, and when everything gets back to normal, its like we just got a freebie of a trillion dollars or two. Kennedy there is no such thing as a freebie. There is a massive inflationary bubble that, unfortunately, will burst. You are right on. Greg i dont know. This is a weird environment. Harris great question, greg. It is a weird environment, when you talk about paying back and all of that, as marie and others on the panel have suggested. We are in that space where some peoples levels of needs, food insecurity, is playing such a big role. You have to figure out how to go forward. If that is a payroll tax halt as the president s suggestion, it is movement. [laughs] i dont want to talk about movement again, but there simply isnt any on capitol hill. Moving on. Greg [laughs] harris we expect this legislation to be front and center at the white house briefing. We are told that the moments from now. When it happens, we will take you there live.

Liberty. Liberty. Harris hurricane isaias taking aim at the new york city area, where its expected to bring the strongest winds since super storm sandy. Isaias rolled ashore as a hurricane overnight,s bond tornadoes and dumped rain over the carolinas, virginia, and maryland. At least one person was killed in North Carolina from a possible twister. Meteorologist adam klotz is tracking the storm minutebyminute, and it is definitely headed this way. Adam . Yes, it is, harris. This is still a powerful storm. Youre looking at winds at 70 miles an hour, even though are well off shore now, the center of the storm spinning just south of philadelphia. Itll continue to track to the north. Everything out in front of it is where the really heavy rain and the strong winds are, and every one of those red triangles, that is a tornado reported in the last 24 hours. We will likely see more of those. Most of the tornado spun up from a hurricane on the weaker side but there is a danger and we see more of those in the afternoon in the evening. This storm will no longer stick to the coast, taking an orderly route. We will watch this pass its way through pennsylvania, new jersey, getting up into new york before heading north on up into canada. But its going to be bringing very heavy rain, and those winds with it. No surprise here, weve got flood watches and warnings still stretching from the mid atlantic up into new england, still widespread. There will be areas with four, five, 6 inches of rain in relatively short order. When it moves into your region, heavy rain. Here is your radar and i will leave you with this. Putting it in motion, you see this pass on out of the area before we get into the overnight hours. Itll be a fast mover, its a stormy talk about for days, harris, but it looks like by the time we wake up tomorrow morning we will be able to maybe pick up and see everything thats happened. Back out to you. Harris adam klotz, thank you very much for the latest on that. A woman was stabbed in Downtown Portland last night. It happened during the citys 68th straight day of demonstrations. In a park, across the street from the federal courthouse that has been at the epicenter of violent protesting. Police say when they were securing the crime scene someone picked up a knife and ran off with it. Officers later ended up leaving that scene, saying a hostile crowd prevented them from investigating. Theres more. President trump is defending sending in those federal agents to portland. Watch the president. If we didnt have people that are courthouse, and they are strong, tough people, they try and be very good, believe me. If we didnt have people there, you would have your federal courthouse, 600 million building, you would have that thing burned to the ground. Harris hi. We went off the air for a second. I dont know if you can hear me, but we took a hit in this hurricane, now Tropical Storm fay. Marie, i come to you. The president saying, amid all that has happened, including reportedly evidence moved from a crime scene outside that federal courthouse, that he made the right decision to send in federal help. Marie harris, yeah. I will say that hurricane came through washington, d. C. , where i am this morning, and it was not a fun thing to live through, let me say that. The best to all of you in new york about to get hit by it. In portland, we see these large majority of these protesters still peaceful, but these protests these arent protesters, the people that do become violent are taking away from that really Important Message that deserves to be heard from the protesters. I dont know if the stabbing was in any way related to the demonstrations or was unfortunately an unrelated crime, but what i will say is it is so hard, because we want to keep the focus on the peaceful message the protesters who are not committing violence are having, and the Portland Police chief wrote a piece in the New York Times this week talking about the line they are trying to walk, pleading for people to not be violent. They should express themselves peacefully, because that is the message she wants people to hear from the city, harris. Harris im a little confused about how, if you were a peaceful protester at this point, you would hope to even get your message out. And what the legalities are now. We talked a lot about freedom of expression, first amendment, emily, but at the end of the day it is being, to use a legal term, quashed by the people in the streets who want to take the power away and that microphone a way to do whatever it is that they are doing that is violent and criminal. Emily thats exactly right, harris. That was the benefit of the declarations of riots. It enabled then the Law Enforcement to come in and make arrests of those individuals. I think that was an important tool utilized by the portland mayor and also in washington. I have to say that this stabbing in portland is not unlike the situation in seattle, where two protesters took two guns from police vehicles. I watched that freighting video of one starting to shoot down the street. Its also not unlike the two children who were shot and killed in the autonomous zone here in seattle because of the mayors capitulation, of which there were no Police Officers allowed in and there were also no Emergency Responders allowed to come in to treat the scene or make any type of investigation of it. I have to point out, as well, it is predictable. That is the tragedy and the larger point. All of those things are predictable. After a 68 days of a festering abscess in portland, the blame continues to lie squarely on mayor wheelers shoulders. Harris wow. You know, kennedy, as we watch these scenes unfold night after night after night after night and i know you have family in portland specifically 68 days of anything is a lot. 68 days of this, in the midst of a corona pandemic, is unfathomable, yet you dont hear the local officials really even talking about that. Thats important, because now weve gone beyond that, as emily was talking about, that sort of getting your message out. Now the messages violence, it involves blood, it involves a whole host of things that you would not want exchanged in a pandemic. Kennedy thats a great point, harris. Thats a fantastic point. You dont even consider that. You got people chanting and coughing all over each other, and now you enter new fluids into that, where the most pathogens live, and the woman who is filming it is screaming, call the police and its like, lady, you hate the police. Thats why youre there. If youve got one human who has stabbed another human for god knows what reason, how is that honoring George Floyds memory . How is that, in any way, creating an environment for equal justice under the law . It is not. They are terrorizing that part of the city, at that time of day, and the net lis nutless wod wheeler, has lost control of the city. Make sure youre protesting at a time of day when the media will show up so they can tell people what it is you are burning. Do it during the day. They are starting at night, they are doing it for a reason. When you go to that square, you know exactly what youre getting. You are getting chaos. Then you have intermingling of legitimate protesters and rioters, and the cameras are only going to focus on the people who are trying to hurt cops, trying to burn down the courthouse, and stab each other. Good job, portland. Harris i guess im even more basic than that, kennedy. Ive seen people taking their children, their pets. They kind of go out to these protests, as they should, because its our american right to do so, but it isnt just about the cameras. Im worried about their wellbeing. They get caught, and i dont know if the people who mean to do harm mean anything else. I dont think they really at least they dont act like they car
