Michigan delivering a speech on
healthcare
we cover all this
morning, live from Americas
newsroom
Miranda, Devine has brand new
reaction to the Hunter Biden,
email report and Griff Jenkins
with an update.
It could spell trouble for the
Biden campaign.
We begin the John Roberts
Report being live from the
north lawn.
What was the reaction and what
has it been so far to the
debates? Last night I should
say the town halls,
the kind of looked like
debates
good morning Sandra and trace
a lot of complaints from
conservatives. The presidents
town Hall last night in Miami
was far more adversarial than
the Joe Biden event.
President said, he got good
reviews.
The Biden event which took
place in Philadelphia, far less
contentious
Biden not asked about the
latest controversy about his
son hunters emails, but was
asked about Supreme Court
Packing and he said he would
reveal his position after the
vote on Amy Coney Barrett.
Listen here.
If I say no matter what
answer I gave you if I say it
thats the headline tomorrow,
not about whats going on now
the improper way theyre
proceeding.
Dont, voters have a right to
know
they have a right to know
where I stand and they will
before they vote.
So youll come out with a
clear position before election
day.
Yes, depending on how they
handle this
trump asked if he could
accept a peaceful transition of
power. If the election didnt go
his way,
the President saying he will if
the election is honest,
listen here,
they spied
on my campaign and they got
caught and tried to take down a
duly elected sitting president
and then they talked about were,
will accept a peaceful transfer.
The answer is yes, I will, but
I want it to be an honest
election and so does everybody
else.
In Philadelphia, Joe Biden
asked about his tax plan and
pulling out crib notes,
sure
people making over four hundred dollars grand
pay. Thirty nine point, six percent you would raise
another. It goes up to. Let me
get the exact number here.
Excuse me
ninety two dollars billion
on the issue of some four hundred dollars
million in real estate lows. The
president reportedly owes for
his projects the president, not
accepting or acknowledging at
least the exact number,
not denying it either
playing down the whole issue as
insignificant,
confirming you do owe some
four hundred dollars million.
What im
saying its tiny percentage of
my net worth
any foreign banks or
entities,
not that I
know of
it is easy to solve.
I will let you know who I owe
the president. Waking up at
his golf resort in Miami this
morning had time to get in a
quick eighteen if he wanted to
off to Fort Myers for a seniors
event and Ocala Florida for a
rally and Macon Georgia and
finish with a rally,
Joe Biden in Michigan and a
virtual event and early voting.
