Weather. Her chief of staff saying mrs. Trump continues to feel better every day, following her recovery from covid19. With 9 lingering cough and out of an abundance of caution she will not be traveling today. Now to the debate, the president ripping the Debate Commission with just a few hours left until thursday evenss debate. 9 commission is saying one of the candidates is giving their opening two minute uninterrupted answer to a question the opposing k57bd dates microphone will be muted. The president harkening back to 2016 when he believes his microphone feels turned down while Hillary Clinton was talking. The other change the president doesnt like is traditionally the last debate, typically the third debate but theres only two, its all about for reason policy and this one isnt, the president said today he believes the commission is in the tank for joe biden. President trump this was supposed to be a form pren policy debate and were talking about things that are not Foreign Policy. It was a change that they made that was far bigger than the mute button, frankly p but they made a change and it shouldnt have happened. The chairman of the commission on president ial debates was on the radio with Brian Kilmeade this morning explaining it this way we do our best here and were nonpart at this son, we are not biased. We thought something had to be done not to change the rules for this debate but to make sure the American People get to hear what went on. You have to admit that last debate terrible. Was terrible. The president in erie pennsylvania expected to go after joe biden again about his son hunters business dealings and what joe biden may have known or not known about them. The president calling on the fbi to investigate. Also suggesting on fox friends this morning that a special prosecutor should be appointed to look into it. Listen here. President trump get the attorney general to act. Hes got to act and hes got to act fast. Hes got to appoint somebody. This is major corruption. This has to be known about before the election just before we finish, time for a little horse race, the rcp shows joe biden up in pennsylvania by 3. Speaker2 points, but if you went back to october 20th, 2016, you would have seen the rcp average had Hillary Clinton up by 6 of, and she ended up losing by lightly less than one. The president Still Believes he has a chance in the keystone case dana and he does. Thank you very much. Peter ducey is live in wilmington. Anything going on peter . Pete no, nothing that we can see, dana p same as the last debate. Joe biden is home. And he doesnt have any events, the campaign told us earlier this morning he was not going to be seen publicly. We know more about the debate prep now. The campaign has been very quiet over the last month or so about the way that joe biden gets ready. Now we know he can practice by giving two minute speeches uninterrupted because of that rule change, that Debate Commission unilaterally imposed on both campaigns trying to cut down on the cross talk. The Biden Campaign is also now responding to what john just alluded to that the Trump Campaign is saying they think the president is being broken here, the final debate of the cycle 34u69 be about Foreign Policy. The Biden Campaign told us that is not the case. The campaigns agreed months ago the moderator would choose the topic. It is Kamala Harriss birthday today. Shes celebrating in washington, d. C. With Virtual Events including outreach to voters in wisconsin where early voting is under way today for the first day. Joe biden again away from the cameras, home, nothing planned until the flight thursday down to nashville for the meeting with trump, dana dana i know youre trying to keep busy. Of course we wish a happy birthday to the senator harris. Bill hemmer, we want to bring you to the show because you have such good information. President trump is going to erie pennsylvania and then prescott arizona. Pence is going to be in bang gore main and middleton pennsylvania, harris will be in florida and or lab doe. Biden is not going to be going anywhere. How does this strike you . Bill can you believe the debate was only three weeks ago something the results in pennsylvania from 2012, i want you to watch carefully as we go from 2012 to 2016, what changed . Did you catch that . Dana that one county. Bill there were three that the president flipped from 2012 to 2016, one of them is where hes headed tonight, erie pennsylvania. Didnt win it by a lot but it was enough to give him an edge in that part of pennsylvania. Now i cross over the state border here because im laser focused on the northeastern part of ohio. In 2016 which we were getting realtime results we knew the president had a chance. These are northeastern counties, blue collar, steel counties, they went democrat for generations and flipped to the president. I dont think the folks in this part of ohio, are that different from folks on the other side of the border in northwestern pennsylvania, hence the reasoning to tonight. Joe biden down here in philadelph philadelphia. Philando went 84 for Hillary Clinton, that is where he will try to run up the score while the president and his team do the traditional t out here in the rest of the state of pennsylvania dana would be down in florida . There has been massive turn out, also true in texas as well. That early vote as phil keating was showing us thats a big deal. Kamala harris is going to orlando and jacksonville hoping to get florida in their column. The Trump Campaign is kneeling very good about where they stand in florida bill this is the advance vote from 2016. I think the important number is down her at the bottom. Ill explain why in a moment. You had almost seven million ballots requested in 2016, early in person 3. 8 million, a huge number for the state of florida, texas their numbers are way up as well. Total advance turn out 6. 5 million. 31. 6 of registered voters in the state of florida in 2016 voted early. Where are we today . Early in person started yesterday in florida. As of today youre at 14 . Let me go back for a moment to 2016, you were a total of youre about halfway now in the state of florida, for the current cycle. That number is going to go way high because this early in person volt has just gotten under way yesterday. Ill walk back here with your permission dana i would love to ask you more questions. Obviously you drilled down and you look at these counties and you know what to look. For so if people at home are very interested. What should then looking for . What is your secret . Bill my secret, that part of ohio is a telltale sign for the trump team, whether they can make the numbers they did in 2016. I talked to the campaign today. What i was curious about was a week or ten days ago, why are you going to rural, largely white counties that you won by 70 . Why are you going back there again . What i noticed over the past week, i would argue, over the weekend in michigan they went to a blue county, they went to a blue county in wisconsin, they went to a blue county in Southern Arizona yesterday. Youre starting to see, could you make the case that youre playing defense by going to rural white counties . Or not . The campaign will dismiss that. Theyll say if you win where you won before, you still win dana not only that, i think you would say if you win where you won before, yes. But how many new registered voters do you have that you didnt have in 2016 . The Trump Campaign has focused on this sins january of 2017. They can put that to good use. The democrats because of cron cron they basically took their hands off the wheel in terms of registering new vote percent and i think thats why you see nervousness amongst democrats bill every time you have a rally, Rona Mcdaniel or someone tweets out numbers. Theyre saying we had x percent of democrats attend the rally. X percent of people who did not vote in the election, x percent who didnt vote ever in their lives. If that number is between five and ten percent, in some of the close counties that could make a difference yet again. They mattered four years ago. What do you have coming up . Michael mcdonald runs the u. S. Elections project. Hes a political signs professor who krun was these numbers better than anybody trying to figure out the early votes and where they make a difference. He will come up and break that down for us dana well be watching. Thank you.

M i will send out an army to find you in the middle of the darkest night its true, i will rescue you oh, i will rescue you dana President Trump is expected to press vicepresident biden at thursday nights debate on Hunter Bidens alleged emails. Mike emmanuel is following this story in washington with the latest prominent law makers are pressing the fbi for answers on the purported hunter biden laptop and emails. Fox news has evidence purporting to be documentation from the fbis interaction from John Paul Mac isaac that shows the bureau took possession of an alleged hunter biden laptop and external hard drive last september. Kennedy called out news organizations for not putting out this story theyre not trying to determine whether its russian disinformation or in fact whether the vicepresident and his son colluded in a way that was inconsistent with the Foreign Policy in america. Those are relevant issues. House intelligence chairman adam schiff calling it a mere come pain. The Intelligence Community doesnt believe that according to john ratcliffe, dni director. To say these emails and Text Messages or this hard drive is part of a potentially a Russian Disinformation Campaign doesnt make any sense to me. This close to the election the two parties dont agree on much of anything. Dana. Dana indeed. Thank you. Republican law makers are preparing to take action against twitter and facebook after they blocked stories about hunter biden. Jackie has the details well the Senate Judiciary committee is considering these big tech subpoenas on thursday, though its fluid on the issue of how they handled the hunter biden story. Thats when the committee is also supposed to consider the nomination of Amy Coney Barrett. So that could change. But the subpoenas are set to include jack dorsey. There are new questions about who else is going to be in there, maybe Mark Zuckerberg from facebook. There is a possibility identifies book blocked the story from more viewers than twitter. Jack doors sir is set to testify before the Senate Commerce committee next week. Twitter said it blocked the story because it violated the hacked materials policy. The reduced visibility was waiting on the Fact Checkers to vet it. These are two separate issues, the first is their power and schoop, antitrust issues, thats what democrats like Elizabeth Warren want to investigate. Theres the issue of sensor ship and thats what the republicans seem to be concerned with. Consider what these social media flat forms were set up to do, to provide anyone and i highlight including the president of the United States to have a platform to disaccept may the information. Where do you draw on the line on what that information should include . The narrative is shifting because these companies are controlling the narrative two weeks from the election and. As we move forward twitter is the smallest fish in the pond, 25 billion in market cap compared to face books 759 billion and googles 1 trillion. Google getting sued by the doj today. One of the issues is in machine op employeeses search information. It was buried during the covid19 pandemic. Dana with two weeks to go before election day President Trump is not holding back, saying theres a clear voice for voters. Our panel reacts. For veteran homeowners from newday usa. Interest rates have dropped to record lows. One call can save you 3,000 a year. Newdays va streamline refi lets you refinance without having to verify your income, without getting your home appraised, and without spending one dollar out of pocket to get it done. It is the quickest and easiest refi theyve ever offered. Information. Dana deadline day in the covid19 relief negotiations, nancy pelosi set today as the last chance for a deal ahead of the election. What are the chances chad . Pretty slim. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and the secretary of the Treasury Steven Mnuchin are going to talk at 3 00 eastern time. Theyve talked almost every day for quite awhile now. They spoke for 5 three minutes yesterday. If they get a deal or no deal it will probably become known after the markets close. The Senate Majority leader Mitch Mcconnell donts blame the hold up on house Speaker Nancy Pelosi. But theres a problem. The ppp has been taken hostage, just like the funding for safe schools, more funding for testing, more funding for vaccines, federal unemployment benefits, the ppp has been taken hostage by Speaker Pelosi and leader schumer. Some republicans say they would be willing to spend more on what they call a targeted cr corona virus bill. President trump indicates he wants to spend more than even the speaker. President trump shes at 2. 2 and i would like to go i would be willing to go more. Because i think that number one i view it differently. We get the money back, the government, it gets the money back ultimately. Senate majority whip john thune said it would be hard to get republicans to spend more than 1. 8 trillion. Republicans in sin rated a similar plan proposed by the administration earlier. A 500 billion is going to be physically bus answered by democrats. He would be willing to consider a larger bill if the deal is reached. Between the speaker and secretary anyominnesota anyone. Chad well see what happens later this afternoon. Thank you. President trump ripping into joe biden. The president saying the choice is obvious for voters has they cast their ballots. President trump Second Amendment or energy or all of these things, they want to raise your taxes, i want to lower your taxes, regulations, all of that. The bottom line, the american dream, the Great American dream versus being a socialist hell hole. Dana lets bring in the panel. Kristen, i thought that when he distilled it down to that, and only the way that the president can that that was probably a pretty key sent Closing Argument for him. What do you think . If thats the election that americans think theyre getting thats a pretty favorable election for trump. Socialism is not popular. If joe biden wins a challenge he will have is he has a lot of folks in his party that will feel energized and feel they have a mandate to push forward policies that are not supported by voters who are supporting joe biden. I think its what trump would rather the election be about but that requires that President Trump stay on that message. Every minute he spends fighting with dr. Fauci or talking about hunter biden, even though i know he cares about those issues and many folks probably care about they are not big motivate ors to the last remaining swing voters, he has to stay on a clear message about the economic individuals. If he does stay on economics how does that play for biden . Look this has been this isnt the president s closing message, this actually has been the president s antibiden message from the getgo. This is what he was saying back when joe biden secured the democratic nomination. It was what he was saying about joe biden throughout the Party Conventions over the summer. Its what he was saying about joe biden during the debates and what he says about joe biden at every rally. He has been fairly consistent on this. And here is the thing, it hasnt moved the numbers at all. The polling has shown remarkably stable numbers. It hasnt moved them. And what should really be concerning is despite his can isnt hammering of joe biden, joe biden remains a lot more favorable in the polls than the president does. His unfavorable rate still a net positive this. Line of attack isnt working. People dont believe it about joe biden. Dana it has been stable but one of the places that of course everyone looks at is the suburbs, for suburban women. President trump fake news has been saying the women of the subur suburbs, they said this last time, too, women dont like trump. Please vote for me, im saving your house, your community, im keeping your crime way down. Last time they said the same thing it was even worse. They said i had a problem with women period. Dana writing theres a real fear among republicans that things can get uglier in november, trump could use College Educated women, and make victory nearly impossible. Do you think its closer in the suburbs than maybe 25 poi
