what she thinks is right in order to win the election National polling averages have the race at a dead heat between the two candidates a New York Times Sienna poll released on the eve of the debate has Trump up one over Harris well within the margin of error and the closest it's ever been between two candidates with just 8 weeks to go before an election the debate could be the last chance to shift the electorate you're going to see the same Donald Trump that you saw a couple of months ago in Georgia with Joe Biden he's going to be calm cool and collected he's going to set up the contrast between the disastrous administration of kamla Harris and Joe Biden KLA Harris is going to demonstrate why she's going to be the next president I think she's going to have an excellent command of the

spending plan on Friday the House GOP unveiling a 46 page stop Gap plan that would fund the government through March of 2025 but attached to the bill is the save act a law requiring stricter proof of citizenship requirements for voting it essentially is a national voter ID and I would think both parties and everybody would be interested in protecting the Integrity of the ballot and making sure that people only legally qualified to vote do so but it's become a partisan issue which is amazing to me Democrats quick to knock the plan Republicans basically just want to play political games and tie the future of our economy and real people's jobs to these horrific plans that really get us and do nothing for the actual country or for actual voting security Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer responding with a statement saying avoiding a government shutdown requires bipartisanship not a bill drawn up by one party Schumer goes on to warn speaker Mike Johnson is making the same mistakes as

credible reports or specific claims of pets being harmed injured or abused by individuals within the Immigrant Community resident Jeff Allen tells me he's Heard lots of things but there's one major complaint the community has been talking about I think the main thing that uh people are concerned about is is the uh is the uh the the driving the reckless driving uh not knowing how to drive and being on the streets and and and the amount of accidents that have been occurring attorney general Dave yo has already directed his office to make a plan to tackle the reported influx of immigrants coming into the City of Springfield he tells me the problem is not who is coming but rather how many and how that's impacting the city's Services anybody that's been to the doctor or you know had to go to an ER recently knows that we don't have extra capacity just laying around this much of an addition to any town will cause it to buckle the fact that we get no communication no coordination no

that endangered nursing home residents in March of 2020 he issued a directive that barred nursing homes from refusing to accept patients because they had covid-19 critics say it exposed thousands of vulnerable elderly people to the virus before it was resented more than 9,000 recovering coronavirus patients were released from hospitals into nursing homes under that directive there were about 15,000 covid-19 deaths among long-term care residents in New York far more than the initial number disclosed that committee found Cuomo and his top AIDS tried to deflect blame for the directive by

the past few days with her AIDS creating a mock setup and even casting a trump standin while Trump a veteran now on the debate stage has spent most of his time campaigning now he has gotten some help with debate prep from a few of his allies including former Hawaii congresswoman Tulsi gabard who ran as a Democratic presidential candidate in 2020 he's not focused on trying to get under under her skin he really is focused on the issues that matter most to the American people uh president Trump is in great spirits he is looking forward to this debate uh you can imagine it's frustrating for any of us to watch and see the lies that are being sold about kamla Harris and how much she's getting a free pass another former presidential candidate calling out Harris ahead of the debate as well Nikki Haley says all Trump has to do is stick to the policies and call out the past three and a half years of the Biden Harris Administration she's already talked about raising taxes where she's talked about rolling back the tax cuts when you look she was the tiebreaking vote on the two biggest inflation drivers we've seen with the American Rescue plan and the inflation reduction act so take her at her word take her at what we've already seen her do and know that you're going to have more of that RFK Jr will be in the debate spin room with VP candidate JD Vance tonight to support Trump after RFK suspended his campaign to endorse Trump last month of his staffers also joined him throwing their support behind Trump yesterday they launched a new super pack aimed at getting Kennedy supporters in swing states to vote for Trump the pack spokesman said he wants to raise $ three5 million dollar to produce and run tv ads in smaller television markets new this morning Direct TV has filed a complaint with the FCC against Disney accusing them of negotiating in bad faith since the beginning of the month Direct TV customers have not been able to watch Disney's channels including ESPN and ABC owned stations and most recently last night's Monday Night Football game the companies are in a disagreement over a new distribution deal that is not seen any progress so far Google facing another Anti-Trust lawsuit over its advertising technology now this comes just a month after a judge declared Google's search engine a monopoly the national desk Jeff Harris reports on the new trial and how it could change what you see online the doj is alleging that Google created another Monopoly but this time on digital advertis ing by obtaining all of the tools to buy sell and display ads they also claim Google controls the ad Exchange Market as well Rebecca Hall allensworth an antitrust professor of Vanderbilt law school tells us Google is being accused of monopolizing the adtech market including the technology that matches online Publishers to advertisers somebody who has a space on a website wants to sell it to an Advertiser and how an Advertiser who has an advertisement they want to go on a website how they would and transact Hall allensworth says by controlling all of the technology the government is claiming Google makes a good bit of money when it arranges sales between Publishers and advertisers Google's accused of taking 30 cents out of every dollar uh in this market that's an awful lot of waste if indeed it's waste and that's what the government says mateline Somerville an attorney at Georgia trial Consulting tells us Google is making the argument that the government's perspective on what qualifies as acceptable practices in the ad Marketplace is outdated it's perfectly acceptable what they're doing because this is how the ad Marketplace works and that essentially the doj hasn't caught up to um the uh new internet industry that we're in when it comes to advertising and marketing but she says if the tech giant is found guilty there is a chance the company could be broken up I think it would still be able to function it would just be sort of an overhaul now this past December Google agreed to pay $700 million to settle a separate antitrust lawsuit which claimed the company forced app makers to use its payment system on its Play Store Marketplace I'm Jeff Harris reporting from Washington Big Lot is filing for chapter 11 after it says high costs and interest rates forced it out of business the retailer is in the process of closing roughly 300 of its 1400 stores and warns more closures could be coming soon the company joins a growing list of well-known retailers hitting financial problems as customers cut back on their spending Straight Ahead this morning election security standof the fight on Capitol Hill to keep our election safe and secure before voters cast their ballots this fall we're acting Commissioner of Customs and Border Protection Mark Morgan joining us next break it all down for us and hazardous air quality alerts out west right now from those raging wildfires that continue they are forcing thousands to flee from their homes the very latest in the brand new images and updates from that scene coming up next e e 39 minutes past the hour and some breaking news to tell you about out of Europe right now the eu's highest court has ruled Apple and Google must pay billions in taxes and fines those rulings represent a major shift in regulations on big Tech Regulators determined that Apple struck illegal deals with the Irish government that allowed the company to pay virtually nothing in taxes on its business in Europe for several years now Apple will pay more than $4 billion to Ireland Apple says the decision effectively allows the EU to impose a double tax on company income that already is tax in the United States in the Google case the court agreed with the commission's 2017 decision to find the company more than $2 billion for giving preferential treatment to its own price comparison shopping service over Rivals Google releasing a statement saying it's disappointed by the ruling but that it had already adjusted its products to comply with the 2017 decision including new designs to steer customers to rival websites since only US citizens can vote in a federal election some members of the House are pushing a bill that would require all voters show proof of citizenship when registering joining us now to discuss this is Mark Morgan the former acting Commissioner of Customs and Border Protection and visiting fellow at the Heritage Foundation morning to you sir great to see you as always Mark why is this bill necessary do you think look once again my good friend chip Roy uh from Texas is just pushing forth a a common sense Bill here's why we need it because the current system is is broke Jan and let me give you an example right now it's legal for states to give illegal aliens state ID cards it's also legal for states to automatically register those same illegal aliens to vote without showing proof of citizenship and lastly it's also legal for states to conduct their elections without showing any form of ID look if you can be intellectually honest and set your political affiliation aside you can't disagree that that system is fraught with Peril and easily exploited for someone the vote that shouldn't vote it's just common sense and the save act closes those loopholes I'll give you an example the 2020 election three states were won by Le decided by less than 45,000 votes which decided the presidency if less than one half of 1% of illegal aliens or foreign Bo citizens voted that would change the outcome of our election it matters CNN is amongst the media Outlets that have now called out VP kamla Harris for featuring Trump's border wall in her campaign video where they found 50 of her tweets criticizing the wall what' you make of this Mark first of all let's keep in mind it was CNN so if you know CNN is criticizing vice president Harris it's got to be bad it is we're literally living in a whole realm of hypocrisy here but look and this also represents there's a lot of talk about her flip-flopping on policies I don't think she's flip-flopping on anything I think she's just saying and doing anything to get elected and in the the the 50 comments over the past you know several years she called this a waste of money she called it uh you know a Trump's vanity wall in her 2019 book she referred to the wall as a monument against everything that she stands but yet in her ad she has not one but two images of the wall including the wall system that we built under President Trump I mean you you just can't make this up and this in my opinion this app actually represents one of the strongest values she hold and that is her ability to act as a chameleon and say and do anything if she can now pretend like she supports the very thing that she said in the past was a monument against everything that she valued that says it all and she says her values have not changed there was an alert that the Venezuelan gang Trend araga which we've been hearing about a lot these days has now been terrorizing a texas-based oil and gas company in fact the FBI sent a warning about these armed gang members who were committing thefts and America's highest producing oil field Mark why isn't this considered a national security threat it should be Jan and I appreciate you bringing up and you and I have talked about this before and it's finally I I'm glad to hear the FBI you know putting some information out there but we we have been talking about this whe whether it's New York uh Texas Colorado the list goes on we are literally seeing because of this administration's open border policies we're seeing the creation of MS13 2.0 spread across this country like like like like a cancer we've seen this before we've been it before and right now as you and I are talking vice president Harris as thear of the Border she actually reinstated a program cbp1 app where individuals from four countries including Venezuela can get online fill out a couple of sentences and fly into one of 45 interior airports in the United States they're also expanding that program now to Mexico so you can get on a bus and they're actually going to drive you to a landport of entry on our Southwest border and here's the big lie no matter how many times they keep saying it does not make a tri we do not have the ability to properly vet everyone we're in counting including those from Venezuela they know it they are intentionally allowing individuals that we do not know their crial background that they could be Venezuela gang members of TDA

thinks is right in order to win the election National polling averages have the race at a dead heat between the two candidates a New York Times Sienna poll released on the eve of the debate has Trump up one over Harris well within the margin of error and the closest it's ever been between between two candidates with just 8 weeks to go before an election the debate could be the last chance to shift

looking at this point well good morning Jan so the to-do list on Capitol Hill is pretty long and time is short just 13 legislative days starting from yesterday for lawmakers to agree on and then pass a spending Plan and there's already a big hurdle on Friday the House GOP unveiling a 46-page stop Gap plan that would fund the government through March of 2025 but attached to the bill is the save act it's a law that would require stricter proof of citizenship requirements for voting many in the GOP support attaching this to the spending plan Democrats though quick to slam it it essentially is a national voter ID and I would think both parties and everybody would be interested in protecting the Integrity of the ballot making sure that people only legally qualified to vote do so but it's become a partisan issue which is amazing to me Republicans basically just want to play political games and tie the future of our economy and real people's jobs to these horrific plans that really get us and do nothing for the actual country or for actual voting security Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer warning speaker Mike Johnson that he's making the same mistakes as his predecessor Kevin

anytime at the national desk.com mark thank you both candidates have differing strategies going into tonight's debate Harris has spent the past few days with her AIDS creating a mock setup and even cast a trump stand in while Trump a veteran now on the debate stage has spent most of his time campaigning he's gotten some help with debate prep with some of his allies including former Hawaii congresswoman Tulsi gabard who ran as a Democratic presidential candidate in 2020 he's not focused on trying to get under her skin he really is focused on the issues that matter most to the American people uh president Trump is in great spirits he is looking forward to this debate uh you can imagine it's frustrating for any of us to watch and see the lies that are being sold about kamla Harris and how much she's getting a free pass and another former presidential candidate also getting called out and calling out Harris ahead of the debate Nikki Haley says all Trump has to do is stick to the policies and call out the past three and a half years of the Biden Harris Administration he's already talked about raising taxes where she's talked about rolling back the tax cuts when you look she was the tiebreaking vote on the two biggest inflation drivers we've seen with the American Rescue plan and the inflation reduction act so take her at her word take her at what we've already seen her do and know that you're going to have more of that RFK Jr will be in the debate spin room with VP candidate JD Vance tonight to support Trump the national desks Kayla Gaskins joining us live from Capitol Hill with more on this good morning to you Kayla what's the latest on on Kennedy's efforts to try to get his supporters to back Trump well good morning Jen so after RFK Jr suspended his campaign last month he did endorse Trump and several of his staffers have also joined him throwing their support behind Donald Trump as well the former staffers launched a new super pack they call make America healthy again it's aimed at getting Kennedy's supporters in swing states where Kennedy is unable to get his name off the ballot despite dropping out to vote for Trump the pack is also targeting blue states where it believes it has enough volunteers and polling to make a difference Virginia and New Hampshire are two of those States they're eyeing the pack spokesman said he wants to raise three and a half million dollar to produce and run tv ads in smaller TV markets live on Capitol Hill I'm K Gaskins reporting for the national desk America's news now Kayla Thank you new this morning Direct TV has filed a complaint with the FCC against Disney accusing them of negotiating in bad faith since the beginning of the month Direct TV customers have not been able to watch Disney's channels including ESPN ABC owned stations and most recently last night's Monday Night Football game the companies are in a disagreement over a new distribution deal that's not seen any progress so far Google meantime facing another Anti-Trust lawsuit over its advertising technology this comes just a month after a judge declared Google's search engine a monopoly the national desks Jeff Harris reports on the new trial and how it could change what you see online the doj is alleging that Google created another Monopoly but this time on digital advertising by obtaining all of the tools to buy sell and display ads they also claim Google controls the ad Exchange Market as well Rebecca Hall allensworth an antitrust professor of Vanderbilt law school tells us Google is being accused of monopolizing the adte market including the technology that matches online Publishers to advertisers somebody who has a space on a website wants to sell it to an Advertiser and how an Advertiser who has an advertisement they want to go on a website how they would connect and transact Hall allensworth says by controlling all of the technology the government is claiming Google makes a good bit of money when it arranges sales between Publishers and advertisers Google's accused of taking 30 cents out of every dollar uh in this market that's an awful lot of waste if indeed it's waste and that's what the government says mateline Somerville an attorney at Georgia trial Consulting tells us Google is making the argument that the government's perspective on what qualifies as acceptable practices in the ad Marketplace is outdated it's perfectly acceptable what they're doing because this is how the ad Marketplace works and that essentially the doj hasn't caught up to um um the uh new internet industry that we're in when it comes to advertising and marketing but she says if the tech giant is found guilty there is a chance the company could be broken up I think it would still be able to function it would just be sort of an overhaul now this past December Google agreed to pay $700 million to settle a separate antitrust lawsuit which claimed the company forced app makers to use its payment system on its Play Store Marketplace I'm Jeff Harris reporting from Washington Big Lot is fin fing for chapter 11 after it says high costs and interest rates forced it out of business the retailer is in the process of closing roughly 300 of its 1,400 stores and warns more closures could be coming soon the company joins a growing list of well-known retailers hitting financial problems as customers cut back on their spending a growing number of Americans say they're not happy with the direction of the US economy a new Harvard Harris poll found 63% of Americans said the economy was on the wrong track while just 30% said it's on the right track also 48% said their personal finances were getting worse while just 26% said it was getting better Straight Ahead this morning election security standoff the fight on Capitol Hill to keep our elections safe and secure before voters cast their ballots this fall hazardous air quality alerts out west right now as those raging wildfires continue forcing thousands to flee their homes very latest and brand new video and images into the live desk after this quick break e e e since only US citizens can vote in a federal election some members of the House are pushing a bill that would require all voters show proof of citizenship when registering joining us now to discuss this is Mark Morgan the former acting Commissioner of Customs and Border Protection and visiting fellow at the Heritage Foundation good morning to you sir great to see you as always Mark why is this bill necessary do you think look once again my good friend chip Roy uh from Texas is just pushing forth a common sense Bill here's why we need it because the current system is broke Jan and let me give you an example right now it's legal for states to give illegal aliens state ID cards it's also legal for states to automatically register those same illegal aliens to vote without showing proof of citizenship and lastly it's also legal for states to conduct their elections without showing any form of ID look if you can be intellectually honest and set your political affiliation aside you can't disagree that system is fraught with Peril and it easily exploited for someone to vote that shouldn't vote it's just common sense and the save act closes those loopholes I'll give you an example the 2020 election three states were won by Le decided by less than 45,000 votes which decided the presidency if less than one half of 1% of illegal aliens or foror citizens voted that would change the outcome of our election it matters CNN is amongst the media Outlets that have now called out VP Comm Harris for featuring Trump's border wall in her campaign videos where they found 50 of her tweets criticizing the wall what you make of this Mark first of all let's keep in mind it was CNN so if you know CNN is criticizing vice president Harris it's got to be bad it is we're literally living in a whole realm of hypocrisy here but look and this also represents there's a lot of talk about her flip-flopping on policies I don't think she's flip-flopping on anything I think she's just saying and doing anything to get elected and in the the the 50 comments over the past you know several years she called this a waste of money she called it uh you know a Trump's vanity wall in her 2019 book she referred to the wall as a monument against everything that she stands but yet in her add she has not one but two images of the wall including the wall system that we built under President Trump I mean you you just can't make this up and this in my opinion this actually represents one of the strongest values she hold and that is her ability to act as a chameleon and say and do anything if she can now pretend like she supports the very thing that she said in the past was a monument against everything that she valued that says it all and she says her values have not changed there was an alert that the Venezuelan gang trende aragua which we've been hearing about a lot these days has now been terrorizing a texas-based oil and gas company in fact the FBI sent a warning about these armed gang members who were committing thefts in America's highest producing oil field Mark why isn't this considered a national security threat it should be Jan and I appreciate you bringing up and you and I have talked about this before and it's finally I I'm glad to hear the FBI you know putting some information out there but we we have been talking about this whe whether it's New York uh Texas Colorado the list goes on we are literally seeing because of this administration's open border policies we're seeing the creation of MS13 2.0 spread across this country like like like like a cancer we've seen this before we've been it before and right now as you and I are talking vice president Harris as thear the Border she actually reinstated a program cbp1 app where individuals from four countries including Venezuela can get online fill out a couple of sentences and fly into one of 45 interior airports in the United States they're also expanding that program now to Mexico so you can get on a bus and they're actually going to drive you to a land port of entry on our Southwest border and here's the big lie no matter how many times they keep saying it does not make it true we do not have the ability to properly vet everyone we're in County including those from Venezuela they know it they are intentionally allowing individuals that we do not know their crial background that they could be Venezuela gang members of TDA yet we're still released in the United States this is absurd it makes no sense especially because as you said before we have no diplomacy so how can we what what what's the Safeguard here where's the checks and balances if you don't have a diplomatic relationship with that country they're coming from former acting Commissioner of Customs and Border Protection Mark Morgan always great to see you

stances it took seven weeks since President Joe Biden dropped his re-election bid before the Harris team put the page up on the campaign website Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders was asked over the

error and the closest it's ever been between two candidates with just eight weeks to go before an election the debate could be the last chance to shift the electorate you're going to see the same

a spending plan there's already a big hurdle on Friday the House GOP unveiling a 46 page stop Gap plan that would fund the government through March of 2025 but attached is a bill called the save act it's a law requiring stricter proof of citizenship requirements for voting many in the goop support attaching this bill but Democrats are quick to slam the plan it essentially is a National voter ID and I would think both parties and everybody would be interested in protecting the Integrity of the ballot making sure that people only legally qualified to vote do so but it's become a partisan issue which is amazing to me Republicans basically just want to play political games and tie the future of our economy and real people's jobs to these horrific plans that really get us and do nothing for the actual country or for actual voting security Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer also warning speaker Mike Johnson that he's making the same mistakes as his predecessor Kevin McCarthy by wasting

occurring attorney general Dave Yos has already directed his office to make a plan to tackle the reported influx of immigrants coming into the City of Springfield he tells me the problem is not who

subcommittee released a report ahead of today's testimony that accused Cuomo of staging a cover up to hide mistakes that endangered nursing home residents back in March of 2020 he issued a directive that barred nursing homes from refusing to accept patients because they had covid-19 critics say it exposed thousands of vulnerable elderly people to that virus before it was resented more than 9,000 recovering coronavirus patients were released from hospitals into nursing homes under that directive there were about 15,000 covid-19 deaths among long-term term care residents in New York far more

Trump facing off for the first and possibly only time tonight with the election now less than two months away thanks for joining us you are watching the national desk America's news now I'm J Jeff coat it is Tuesday September 10th and we're just hours away from the presidential debate the pressure on VP Harris after the release of some new polling showing her early lead now completely gone a New York Times n Cenna College poll has Trump with his first lead over Harris you can see 48 to 47% here the survey also found 28% of Voters said they need to know more about Harris compared to just 9% for Trump the New York Times highlighting the pressure on Harris writing heading into the high stakes debate on Tuesday the mood in the party remains upbeat but with polls looking tight concerns are starting to seep in Mark Bole is at the live desk following the latest on the debate including the rules and how the candidates are already getting ready good morning to you good morning a lot of speculation about what will happen we'll find out in just a few hours tonight's debate could be the only one genan between the two candidates so a lot on the line as both try and went over undecided voters both sides taking a very different approach in preparing a live look this morning over Pittsburgh this is where uh KLA Harris has been the past four days at a hotel there during uh going through an intensive debate Camp her AIDS have put up a mock setup with the layout of a debate studio and they've gone through rigorous hours of rehearsed questions as well at the same time Donald Trump opting for policy sessions with his AIDS that's happening at the Bedminster Golf Club in New Jersey a live look over the national Constitution Center and Philadelphia where the debate will happen at 900 p.m. Eastern tonight as for those rules the candidates microphones will be muted when it's not their turn to talk something the Harris team asked to change but that rule will stay in place there will be no studio audience and candidates will not be allowed to have notes or to question each other directly after tonight no other presidential debates are set so it's really the only chance for Trump and Harris to distinguish themselves when it comes to key issues but we are still looking ahead to the VP candidate face off between Tim Walls and jie Vance that one is set for October 1st hosted by CBS News look for updates and reaction to tonight's debate right here at the live Des both tonight and tomorrow morning and online anytime at the national.com mark thank you both candidates have differing strategies going into tonight's debate terce has spent the past few days with her AIDS creating a mock setup even casting a trump stand in while Trump a veteran now on the debate stage has spent most of his time campaigning he has gotten some help with debate prep with a few of his allies including former Hawaii congresswoman Tulsi Gabbert who ran as a Democratic presidential candidate back in 2020 he's not focused on trying to get under her skin he really is focused on the issues that matter most to the American people uh president Trump is in great spirits he is looking forward to this debate uh you can imagine it's frustrating for any of us to watch and see the lies that are being sold about kamla Harris and how much she's getting a free pass another former presidental candidate calling out Harris ahead of the debate Nikki Haley says all Trump has to do is stick to the policies and call out the past three and a half years of the Biden Harris Administration she's already talked about raising taxes where she's talked about rolling back the tax cuts when you look she was the tiebreaking vote on the two biggest inflation drivers we've seen with the American Rescue plan and the inflation reduction act so take her at her word take her at what we've already seen her do and know that you're going to have more of that RFK junor will be in

accusing them of negotiating in bad faith since the beginning of the month Direct TV customers have not been able to watch Disney's channels including ESPN ABC owned stations and most recently last night's Monday Night Football game the companies are in a disagreement over a new distribution deal that has not seen any progress so far Google facing another antitrust lawsuit over its advertising technology this comes just a month after a judge declared Google's search engine a monopoly the national desks Jeff Harris reports on the new trial and how it could change what you see online the doj is alleging that Google created another Monopoly but this time on digital advertising by obtaining all of the tools to buy sell and display ads they also claim Google controls the ad Exchange Market as well Rebecca Hall allensworth an antitrust professor of vanderbelt Law School tells us Google is being accused of monopolizing the adte market including the technology that matches online Publishers to advertisers somebody who has a space on a website wants to sell it to an Advertiser and how an Advertiser who has an advertisement they want to go on a website how they would connect and transact Hall allensworth says by controlling all of the technology the government is claiming Google makes a good bit of money when it arranges sales between Publishers and advertisers Google's accused of taking 30 cents out of every dollar uh in this market that's an awful lot of waste if indeed it's waste and that's what the government says mine Somerville an attorney at Georgia trial Consulting tells us Google is making the argument that the government's perspective on what qualifies as acceptable practices and the ad Marketplace is outdated it's perfectly acceptable what they're doing because this is how the ad Marketplace works and that essentially the doj's hasn't caught up to um the uh new internet industry that we're in when it comes to advertising and marketing but she says if the tech giant is found guilty there is a chance the company could be broken up I think it would still be able to function it would just be sort of an overhaul now this past December Google agreed to pay $700 million to settle a separate antitrust lawsuit which claimed the company forced app makers to use its payment system on its Play Store Marketplace I'm Jeff Harris reporting from Washington Big Lots is filing for chapter 11 after it says high costs and interest rates forced it out of business the retailer is in the process of closing roughly 300 of its 1400 stores and warns

personal finances are getting worse while just 26% said it's getting better Straight Ahead this morning the stage is set our coverage of tonight's first and possibly only presidential debate between former president Trump and vice president kamla Harris continues former Secretary of Housing and Urban Development during the Trump Administration Dr Vin Carson joining us next to break down what we can expect tonight and breaking news out of Europe this morning the highest EU Court issuing billions of dollars in F for us big Tech Apple and Google details Straight Ahead after this quick [Music] break e e breaking this morning out of Europe the eu's highest Court ruled Apple and Google must pay billions in taxes and fines those rulings represent a major shift in regulations on big Tech Regulators determined that Apple struck illegal deals with the Irish government that allowed the company to pay virtually nothing in taxes on its business in Europe for several years now Apple will pay more than $4 billion to Ireland Apple say says this decision effectively allows the EU to impose a double tax on company income that's already been taxed in the United States in the Google case the court agreed with the commission's 2017 decision to find the company more than $2 billion for giving preferential treatment to its own price comparison shopping service over Rivals Google released a statement in it saying it's disappointed by this ruling but that it has already adjusted its products to comply with the 2017 decision including new designs to steer customers to rival websites tonight former president Donald Trump and vice president kamla Harris will face off for the first and perhaps only debate this election cycle currently polls do have Trump ahead of Harris with less than two months before the election former Secretary of Housing and Urban Development Dr Ben Carson served under the Trump Administration and joins us now to disc discuss the big night good morning to you sir thanks for joining us here good morning glad to be with you thanks you know you hear many political leaders say this is the most important election of their lifetime tell us what's at stake here sir well it's just much different than most uh debates in the past because uh no one really knows who camela Harris is and what her policies are and also this election is not so much about Democrats and Republicans as it is about people who believe in America believe in our founding principles and people who think we're the wrong country and that they need to fundamentally change it so you have people like camela Harris who are radical leftists you know who believe in things like Christ controls of course she won't admit to that but all you have to do is look at the regimes of people like Stalin and M and Castro to see what those do to an economy and go ahead I was G to say you've been on the debate stage before as someone who's also run for president tell us about that experience and what we can expect tonight what will you be keeping a close eye on and how important is this debate well you will see uh each of the candidate trying to get under the other one skin and uh create some havoc and cause them to react in an emotional way uh but what we really should be looking for are indications of what a person actually believes because we're choosing the leader of the Free World and it's important to know what they mean now with the case of kamla Harris she stayed away from the media you have to ask yourself why would she do that because her base her leftist base you'll notice that they're not mad at her for changing all of her opinions that's because they know she hasn't really changed it you know she said uh you know my values are the same what Trump will need to do is bring out what those values are why is it that she believes that the government is Solutions everything why is there no trust in the people Trump on the other hand will be coming up with probably some new and interesting ideal uh by decreasing the tax rate for manufact ERS who manufacture in this country uh those are the kinds of things that bring jobs back that really boost an economy he'll be talking about uh expanding opportunities on things that raise the economy for everybody not just for specific and you served as HUD secretary Harris has talked about making housing more affordable but many economists have blasted her proposals like a rent cap I know you mentioned price controls there because as we know price controls can impact the supply by discouraging new bills when it comes to the housing market what's your thoughts on this well first of all recognize that uh there aren't a lot of houses out there on the market there's a real problem because a lot of people have three and 4% mortgages they're not going to trade that for 7% mortgage so you know the movement that we normally have in people moving up and up and up has pretty much been stifled and uh you know her proposal for $25,000 down payment uh assistance for new home buyers you know in a market like the one that I just described everybody's going for the few houses that are there all that does is raises the price of the property by $25,000 you know basically what we have here is someone who really does not understand the economy doesn't understand what people are going through and somebody who has lived it who has worked it who has created jobs I've seen his interactions with uh you know average citizen he's very concerned about them the people that work for him he knows their names he knows who their families are you know this is a very different uh setting and our Founders when they put our country together they studied all the governments that had ever existed and they discovered that all governments move in the same direction they grow they infiltrate and they dominate they wanted to give us one that was different and that's why they worked so hard on our constitution but they realized that we were in danger and that's why Benjamin Franklin said when he came out of the Constitution Hall in 1787 he was asked what do we have here monarchy or Republic he said a republic if you can keep and he knew that those pressures would be there those pressures are there now more than than ever and the distinction that has to be made between these two candidates is huge and hopefully the people can recognize that and decide which kind of country they want to have this debate will go a long way in helping to Define that we look forward to uh seeing it tonight and we're so thankful you could join us this morning former Secretary of Housing and Urban Development Dr Ben Carson God bless thanks for joining us this morning thank you coming up on 49 minutes past the hour in just just a few moments ago breaking right now the US accusing Iran of giving short range missiles to Russia for the war in Ukraine Secretary of State Anthony blinkin says sanctions will
