White house as having its own outbreak. The Amy Coney Barrett event on the 26th and a gold star families event on the 27th at the white house where the joints chiefs of staff attended. Then the debate preparation and the debate. Now we learned that as a result of that gold star family events on the 27th the entire joint chiefs of staff have to quarantine after the vice commandant of the postgame tested positive for coronavirus. Add that to the list of people taking precautionary measures as a result of activity at the white house. Meantime this afternoon, we are getting an update on the president s condition. His white house physician said the team of physicians met with him and today he reports no symptoms. Oxyg oxygen saturation level of 95 to 97 . The president is anxious to get out of the white house and get back on the campaign trail tweeting earlier today the president would have to have 3 negative tests between now and then. That would be a swift recovery considering that he hasnt even passed the 7 day period when people who are feeling better can turn and go downhill. Upon returning to the white house last night, he was talking about the virus and urging americans to adopt his we can beat this attitude. Listen here. Dont let it dominate you. Dont be afraid of it. You will beat it. We have the best medical equipment. We have the best medicines. All developed recently and you are going to beat it. President trump likes to channel churchills Never Surrender attitude. Rudy giuliani likened his talk to another u. S. President from another generation and another crisis. Listen here. Reminds me of roosevelts message. The only thing you have to fear is fear itself. President s critics felt he was being cavalier and reckless. Even though he did receive care that most people in the United States would not receive, he did go through it. So he can speak from personal experience. Dana john roberts, thank you. Mercedes Senior Advisor to the Trump Campaign in 2020. When do you think you might see the president back out on the campaign trail . Could it be before the march 15th debate night in mime . We have to wait and see. The president is dog much better. In great spirit. He has great energy and working on behalf of the American People. We are focussed on the vicepresident debate tomorrow night. I will be in pennsylvania on the women for trump bus tour. We are active. Whilesi are committed to fighting for him. What we are seeing on the ground is great energy in the final stretch of this campaign. Dana its interesting that the news that john roberts brought us that the joint chiefs of staff are quarantining. Its a real virus. The president loves to get under peoples skin and drives people crazy. Taking his mask off drove the media crazy on the left. There has been a change on masks. Jason miller tweeted this about the president. When he visited patients at walter reed he wore a mask and he said joe biden is finished before the mask. How did this mask wearing which is common sense in close spaces, ever get so political . I think its unfortunate that its gotten political. We have seen joe biden in several occasions like last night at the town hall he was not wearing a mask. During the month of september he was talking to reporters not wearing a mask. The president made it clear. He said wear the mask. Its patriotic to wear the mask. I know for my family its important. Its a person choice of americans. If you dont use social distancing wearing a mask is important. This pandemic is tricky and inciduous. You know the white house. You have worked there. Tight quarters. Its tough. To know it spread so quickly, what we sunday that the president has been focussed on day 1 in in whole federal government approach working with the private sector to make sure that our state and local governments have the resources they need. Testing at the top capacity. We made tremendous inroads with therapeutics. We are focussed on getting this vaccine developed. Thats what the president wants to make sure that we are able to provide the therapeutics and get this vaccine developed as soon as possible to combat the coronavirus. Dana pe of testing, the debate is 9 days from now, for whatever the protocols are going to be with regards to testing for the commission on debates. Will the Trump Campaign complay with all of those . I cant get into the negotiations between the campaign and the commission. For this vicepresident debate they made certain provisions. Our goal is to expose the phoniness of Kamala Harris and people remember that she pushed joe biden on the far left. She is ranked the most liberal seniori seniority senator in the senate. Dana there is a new poll about seniors. Thats a block that President Trump won in 2016. This is a trend. Nbc and the wall street journal have seniors up with biden. Do you think you registered enough voters to cover yourselves for the seniors you are losing . We will continue to court seniors. The problem is joe biden is lying. He lied last night in the town hall saying the president would cut Social Security. Its the democrats who want to lead to medicare cuts with medicare for all which is socialized medicine. This would have a huge negative impact on seniors. Our goal is to talk about how joe biden is falsely pushing this narrative of the president and talking about what the president has done for seniors. I think we will win the senior vote. Even in the state of florida, we are leading in voter registration. I feel that at the end of the day, the president s record will be very clear he is protecting seniors and Social Security and their medicare. Dana will we see you in miami on october 15th . We will wait and see. Hopefully i will get to see you soon. I know you for Salt Lake City, utah and it will be eventful tomorrow night. Dana its beautiful. Excellent weather. Thank you.

We bring in special report bret baier. The news john roberts told us about more quarantines. Bret this person took part of a 90 minute meeting in the tank, a small meeting room in the pentagon. Then he was in the rose garden at the white house for a gold star family event. The president was there. You are looking at all of these contacts. This person was diagnosed. So until all joint chiefs get their tests back they are quarantining. The negative test for mark meili came back yesterday. Dana and the National Security advisor to the president made it clear dont think because we are using caution about the spread of the virus there is any weakness here. Bret its important to send the signal this wont take us down. We will take it down. Dana the president said that last night to the civilians. Do you think the president will address the nation as was rumored this morning . Bret its possible he will speak again. Whether its a taped video or a real address to the nation. I dont think if will be like a primetime address. But he may speak out this afternoon. Dana lets talk about the main event in Salt Lake City. The headlines across the internet. The articles about the fact its an important debate. This is a big debate. I dont think we are overhyping it. Pence is a very good debater. Kamala harris was a prosecutor. We have not seen that much of her since the roll out at the dnc. Bret yes and it gives you a different player of this ticket. They will be talking about the top of the ticket. Kamala harris will go after donald trump and mike pence will go after joe biden. You are right, its different. Its in tone and tenor different than the first debate. Dana what does mike pence need to do help the numbers with the overwhelming biden support . Bret he has to paint their ticket as going to the left. Pence will try to remind everyone about policies and what he is calling to do. I think Kamala Harris will try to stick on covid19 because that is really working. When that battleground is on covid19 the advantage is to the biden harris team. Dana thats one thing she can do. Looking at her in a different way. Instead of as a prosecutor, could he be the vicepresident or the president because she is next in line . Bret she has to make the case she can be the leader of the free world. In the primary debates she was aggressive in the back and forth. The first debate was her best one and from then on underwhelming and didnt make it to christmas. Dana the president said he will be in miami in the march 15th debate. He needs that debate. Bret i agree. It depends on his health and if he gets cleared. Its possible he could be there. It will be fascinating. He needs to bounce back from the first performance. His supporters say he was fighting for them. But independence and women, i dont know. Dana its only tuesday. We were in cleveland a week ago. That feels like a lifetime ago. Even the week before that a Supreme Court nomination that was open. Bret and 4 weeks from today. Dana its election night. Tell me about this fancy mask. Bret fair, balanced and unafraid. A friend made it. Dana unafraid of anything. We are working safely. Bret and tested many times. Dana we are. Thanks for joining us. See you at 6 oclock. Vicepresident pence and Kamala Harris will meet facetoface in Salt Lake City tomorrow night. I will join bret and marsha at 6 p. M. Eastern.

Dana the halls of capitol hill are quiet. House members are home and senators are on hiatus and several tested positive for covid19. Chad tells us there is plenty of action behindthescenes. He is live on capitol hill. How are they preparing for the few things on their plate. Judge Amy Coney Barretts confirmation hearing to start . This will be a different type of hearing that we see next week. Some senators will be there. Some senators wont. They will beam in remotely. It will be strange because of the Health Concerns with the members testing positive. Democrats raised the issue whether or not they should hold a hearing with Health Concerns, especially with the senators beaming in remotely with a hearing of this magnitude. Bloomenthal said he will be there. I will insist that every senator and staff be tested twice before they enter that room. I am hopeful my colleagues will wear a mask as well. Amy Coney Barrett gives her Opening Statement on monday and fields questions on tuesday and wednesday Chuck Schumer doesnt think they should hold this hearing with senator testing positive. Marco rubio scoffed. Do we close down the Fire Department and the stores and the medical centers . Every workplace in america is facing a covid challenge. We have a job to do. The senate met today for a few seconds. It was strange. Mitch mcconnell was the only senator there. He cancelled the floor schedule due to positive coronavirus tests. The other thing going on, they try to get a coronavirus bill. Nancy pelosi and Steve Mnuchin are talking by phone, not in person. I am told it they are still pretty far apart. There of concerns among Senate Republicans about language that could be in this bill dealing with abortion and also Liability Reform dealing with covid. Back to you. Dana its a good sign they are still talking. What are you doing for tomorrows debate . Chris and i last week for the debate in cleveland. We live blogged this. To tune in, our comments and president ial debate history and observations and ask us questions and look at the website on the bottom of the screen and scan the code. Come join the fun. Chris and me tomorrow night in Salt Lake City. Dana i might do that myself. Hit us up with questions, absolutely. Dana the election is less than a month away. Americans across the country are already voting in record numbers. That means there could be big challenges ahead. If you plan on mailing in your ballot. Do at this time right way or it may not count. Douglas kennedy can more. Yes, voting by mail is supposed to make things easier. But some say its causing confusion which could affect the final orst Case Scenario is biden gets more votes but so many mailin ballots tossed that he loses . Thats a bad thing. Cathy is a Democratic Party chair in pennsylvania, a state allowing mailin ballots for the first time in year. She fears a state mandate requiring voters place ballots in two separate envelopes. If they only use one it wont count. They call them naked ballots. They are racing alarms with democrats . Absolutely, because they want their votes to count. Trump won pennsylvania by less than 45,000 votes. They know that counting all of the ballots may be the key to whether they win or lose in november. These Council Member went topless on twitter to warn voters not to go naked with their ballots. In philadelphia, the city commissioner said 100,000 legitimate votes could be tossed. You are predicting a lot of people will be disenfranchised and it will be chaos . It will be chaos. Something new invites chaos. Democrats are more likely to vote by mail. They say votes wont be counted if you require double envelopes . I disagree. As long as they follow the rules their vote will count. Just sin a Republican Party chair and says two envelopes provide security and prevent fraud. More important to you know that naked ballots are what ballots are counted . Thats corrects. Its ridiculous to wait 3 days after. It was ruled they count ballots received 3 days after november 3rd. It allows more manipulation. Republicans say the real issue is ballots received after election day . They are in the mail and safely submitted. Week safely submitted and she said completely counted. With every vote accounted for. I just got off the phone with jason. The council for state republicans on this issue. They are in front of the u. S. Supreme court and filed a final brief. The Supreme Court should issue the ruling today. Dana follow upon us and let us know what the Supreme Court decides. Thank you. Next joe biden is trying to distance himself from the far left.
