i never hear that from the people of new jersey. what i hear is overdevelopment and that is the great concern. the governor can see people are not. we tend to be number one but businesses are moving out. nabisco recently moved out it took the middle-class jobs with it going to the carolinas so we need to fix new jersey. >> isn't that survey a very small survey of people that are one company lacks does it show a bigger pattern? >> it still says more people leave the state than any other. >> that concludes the question portion. we now get a 92nd closing statement. it's been determined that he will go first. >> the state we love is broken. you know it and i know it.

york and new jersey. newark, liberty international airport, reducing congestion and emissions and creating thousands more good-paying union jobs. it's going to help us meet the moment of the climate crisis in a way that creates good jobs, makes the economy more competitive, and we can breathe. look, we haven't passed an infrastructure bill for a decade. think about this. how many times under the former guy did we have infrastructure week? not a single thing happened. we need to get this done. and it isn't enough just to invest in our physical infrastructure. we also have to invest in our people. that's what my second bill, the build back better bill, does. i just had an opportunity to visit a preschool in north plainfield. north plainfield provides access to preschool for all kids 4 and above. my plan will make it possible for the district to expand that program to 3-year-olds all across america. the earlier our children begin to learn, the better for themselves, their families, and for the nation. studie

were from new jersey. i was attending 9/11 ceremonies with so many towns this past weekend. something that came up again and again was during 9/11, we were so united. we came together in a powerful way to confront the crisis. i am in a district where i have republican areas and mccright areas of my town -- democrat places in my town. no matter where i went this weekend, we came together so much then and we aren't facing the crises together today. a reminder to people throughout the country, this isn't a zero-sum game. it isn't as though somehow republicans win and i lose and that's good for the country. we are all americans. we don't come together to address the crises of our nation and to make sure that we are thinking through the best policy to address this. we are all losing. i'm sure that everything we passed, i can tell you that even things my party passes, it's not the way that i would do it. but i'm working hard to get the bills in a better place. some of the thinksmart republican colleagues put for

new jersey does not do that it's been a long time since new jersey elected a republican to the senate. chris christie was his own guy. >> neil: no, you're right. he was an anomaly. a real quick take on how important these two contests are to teeing up the mid-terms. do they have that effect or do we make a bigger deal of it in the moment? >> we will make a bigger deal of it except that it is the greatest indicator if virginia goes republican, you can -- you can't bet on it, but that is a great indication of what will happen in the house races. virginia is three different states. washington d.c., it's richmond and it's south carolina. if the republicans get a majority there, it says that republicans can win nationwide. by the way, it's going to be a wake-up call for democrats that their spending is too much. tax increases are too much. the programs are too much. even though it's not been an issue in virginia, there's a sense that people are fed up with government, they're fed up with washington, they're fed up with rich men, fed up with their own government and they want elected offici

he is tone deaf and not new jersey. we will pound that home. >> sean: what about the people who left the state and took their money with them? >> there has been a significant out migration from new jersey and taken $24 million with them am we can change that. my campaign is focussing on making new jersey's property taxes lower and a better place to do business. we have the worst business climate in the nation and murphy made it worse. our corporate tax rate is the highest in the nation. i think we are dying a slow death and we will change that with my administration. >> sean: good luck. when we come back after failing to deliver on promises made in the campaign. african-american voters are turning big time to biden. georgia senator candidate herschel walker join us with's recollection and a third party ad exclusively next. it's not a sign of weakness, but really a sign of strength. people sometimes don't want to talk about mental health, they don't want to talk about problems that they might have that aren't physical, b

it will make life a lot better for new jersey commuters. and it is also going to create nearly 8,000 construction jobs in this area alone. this area's workers. 8,000 union jobs. union. [ applause ] as pointed to me not long ago i said i'm a union president, that i use someone calculated i use the word "union" more than the last seven presidents combined. because, guess what? it is a decent wage. it's about to make rail transportation which is a cleaner and greener way to travel the better choice for a lot of new jersey residents but not just -- everybody up and down the east coast. if i could pause for a second, apologize because some have heard this. i commuted every single day 263 miles a day on amtrak. when i was vice president i used to like to take the train home because my mom was very sick and dying and i would come home every weekend to make sure i take the train home and secret service, would rather me fly because it is safer, too many people could get on and off and then on friday one of the senior guys on amtrak, i got to know al

this is the reason why republicans can win in democratic-heavy new jersey. the they're criss hattic, they have the -- charismatic, they have the right message and they pound away on taxes, that is a winning formula in the state. it has been in the past for republicans, so it's something that, you know, i'll just say that a lot of political pundits were sort of scratching their heads when jack ciattarelli came out in the primary and was still hammering social issues. those people were saying why doesn't he focus on taxes. that's the way to win in a state like this. neil: that does seem to be the point. another thing i discovered odd in new jersey, if we see governor murphy reelected, he would be the first democratic governor reelected since byrne back in 1977. now, all the republican governors we had in the state have, indeed, been reelected. when you go back to thomas cain, christy todd whitman and chris christie, so what is it about this curse -- if you want to call it that, depending on your allegiance -- for democratic governors? jon corzine, what is that

>> new jersey and aren't foolish. they know every time phil murphy wants to talk about donald trump or blame chris christie or blame climate change for his failures on tropical storm ida it a distraction from his failed record. he has failed new jersey. we lead the nation in nursing home deaths to take home covid 19 patients. we have the highest property taxes in the nation. we are considered the worst state in the country in which to do business. he has ruined the labor markets, one of the highest unemployment rates in the nation but everywhere you go there is a help wanted sign in the store window of mom and pop shops. we talk about those failures and lowering property taxes and make new jersey a better place to do business. neil: when governor murphy says taxes are your big issue, you shouldn't be in new jersey what do you think? >> he poked a finger in the eye of new jersey into the most overtaxed people in the nation. nobody pays more taxes than new jersey and and he said it, taxes are your issue, probably not yo

that's not new jersey. so instead of forcing schools to cut back, we should be doing more to support the people who are educating our kids. instead of asking families to bear even more of a burden, we should be asking those who have been fortunate enough in this economy to be doing better than ever to pay their fair share of taxes. instead of spreading misinformation or disinformation about the last election, we should be trying to strengthen our democracy, encouraging people to vote. we are at a turning point right now, both here, in america, and around the world. there's a mood out there. we see it. there's a politics of meanless, division, conflict, of tribalism and cynicism, and, you know, we could go down that path, but i can tell you that's a path to ruin. the good news is there's another path, one where we pull together, one where we solve big problems together, one where we rebuild our society in a way that gives more and more people a better life. that's the choice we face, a choice that i believe

york and new jersey. newark, liberty and international airport reducing congestion and emissions. it's going to help us meet the moment of the climate crisis in a way that creates good jobs and makes us competitive and we can breathe. look, we have in past the transformative infrastructure bill for a decade, think about that. how many times under the former guy did we have infrastructure week? that a single thing happened. we need to get this done. and this is not enough just to invest in physical infrastructure, we have to invest in our people. that's what my second bill, the bill back better plan does. i just had the opportunity to visit a preschool in east end elementary that provides access to preschool for all kids for years and above. my plan is going to make it possible to expand that program to 3-year-olds all across america. the earlier or children begin to learn, the better for themselves, their families come in for the nation, study show children who have attended high quality preschool are 50%

yes. >> judge esther salas was the first latino judge appointed in new jersey. appointed by president obama in 2011. battaglia quickly learned it was salas's husband mark and her son daniel who had been shot. >> when they first patrol officer rise -- they administered basic for stage. >> what condition was mark? in >> surprisingly, march was talking and he was sitting up and he was tending to daniel. >> emts raced mark and daniel to the hospital. officers searched the area. >> they secured the home. they secured the perimeter. and then they set up a canvas of the era. >> did they find anything that's of significance? >> we spoke to the neighbor next door, who had actually very good information. it said he saw an individual, white, male, tall, thin, wearing a mask, had a fedex messenger bag. got into a silver, blue nissan sentra. and fled the area. >> they based on eyewitness accounts, the deputy chief felt confident the shooter had left the area. >> our concern was worry was he going next? meaning that this was a federal court judge. who were his top targets? >>

laura: it is a beautiful state, people make jokes about new jersey but haven't traveled to new jersey and deserve better leadership, thank you and good luck. sitting governor, governor ron desantis is here in moments to tell us how he intends to take on the feds over these vaccine mandates. stay there. i will bless those who bless you it's almost hanukkah here in israel and across the former soviet union but we're fnding thousands of destitute, elderly jews who are alone and in need of basic food. ramzia is a holocaust survivor. she keeps saying my refridgerator is empty. she's embarrassed to ask for help. their need as you can see is extremely urgent. right now, you can give a gift of life of $25. the international fellowship of christians and jews will bring comfort and food to ramzia and thousands of others. ramzia has had such a hard life and to see this smile. you can save a life, just like ramzia. your special holiday gift will provide everything they need to celebrate the miracle of hanukkah. as we celebrate the miracle of hanukkah she's celebrating her own miracle. the answers

we will keep new jersey on a path of a better new jersey. thank you, new jersey. god bless you. >>> you have been listening to president obama campaigning in new jersey. praising the democrats agenda in the state and nationally. obama shaping this as a choice for the future of america and what kind of country we will leave the country for our children. that caps the day on the trail for the former president. earlier he was campaigning in virginia for terry mcauliffe. >>> more bombshell the dramatic steps trump and his team tried to take to remain in power. >>> plus the white house announces its first ever national gender equality strategy. i will ask if he believes what is being worked on will be enough for americans across the country. we are just getting started. country. we are just getting started. with the right balance of risk and reward. so you can enjoy more of...this. this is the planning effect. you have always loved vicks vapors. and now you'll really love new vicks' vapostick.his. it goes on clear and dries quickly. no mess. just the soothing vicks' va

in new jersey not a close but the race is tightening. phil murphy trying to stave off the republican a businessman. he is promising to lower property taxes and make the state more friendly for becomes and law enforcement and embrace school choice and increase quality of life. all across the garden state. his opponent murphy refusing to takees any responsibility for gutting the state's economy with never ending covid restrictions and putting sick patients in nursing homes. why he didn't get as much publicity as cuomo i don't know? joining us now the republican republican candidate. the problem, jack, states like new york and california and new jersey, conservative were pushed out. you have a governor who says the tax rate is your issue, we are not your state meaning new jersey. 8,000 seniors. the same policies as andrew cuomo. putting covid positive patients in nursing homes after warn they would die and 8,000 did. he doesn't follow his own mask mandate. why is he in the lead in the polls? >> if you look at history we do win races but don

president biden in new jersey today. he's in virginia tomorrow. two races for governor that could hold the keys to so much. with the president's numbers sliding, are democrats worry? lee carter is coming up. later critics say this video police just released of shoplifters should be putting liberal policies front and center. as someone who resembles someone else, i appreciate that liberty mutual knows everyone's unique. that's why they customize your car insurance, so you only pay for what you need.

that's the majority party in new jersey. we see it as an advantage for us. >> julie: good luck to you. get out and vote november 2. thank you very much. >> thank you, julie. >> bill: watching that tuesday night along with virginia. a public sighting of alec baldwin a week after being involved in the shooting on the movie set. the latest on that investigation. new fox polling looking difficult for democrats in virginia. key issue swing voters and it could have an impact far beyond the commonwealth. we'll explain. >> it hangs in the balance right now. it hangs in the balance because this election is a dead heat. but it is a dead heat with the youngkin campaign coming up fast on the outside. so they only pay for what they need. woooooooooooooo... we are not getting you a helicopter. only pay for what you need. ♪ liberty. liberty. liberty. liberty. ♪ >> bill: 9:30 friday morning. the governor's election in virginia days away. democrats could lose the governor's mansion for the first time in more than a decade. data showing s

if new jersey is a six-point race right now, there's no way new jersey should be a six-point race. there's -- >> that isn't that close. >> 1.1 million more democrats than republicans. joe biden won a year ago in new jersey by 17 points. so come on. like, my point to you is that it's telling you something. what it's telling you is not what new jersey is going to do, and how they're going to be governed. it's telling you what even new jersey thinks of joe biden. even in new jersey, joe biden is now upside down. >> let me just say this. joe biden is going to new jersey. so welcome. >> thank you. please. >> by the way, chris, he's gone back to virginia, and while he may not be as popular as he was on august 1st, he's more popular than donald trump who was as popular as a root canal. >> i know, donna. you love to talk about donald trump. joe biden is the president, but you know what the elephant is in the room in virginia and new jersey? it's donald trump because he's not only dialing in. he is calling in the shots for the republicans. that's why we have all these cultural wars. >> you'

i was in new jersey, they are building a wind turbine farm in new jersey, and again, products being built here in the united states, a lot of it will be shipped overseas but it will be created in the icings of america. as we shift our economy to a green economy and alternative power sources, building these types of equipment and materials in the united states of america is what is important. buy america, build america and the supply chain go hand-in-hand . the president is setting goals. it will not happen overnight. over the course of next several years we want to be more dependent on products made here in america, and we have to look at industries and that of a strength -- and how do we strengthen those industries. we cannot snap our fingers and say here we go. the president is committed to put together attacks worse, as a plan to move forward here. >> we need to demystify some things. i will point out some key things you used. you used solar, wind turbine, use the words -- word shift, shifting in the workforce or labor force. demystify it for people who might be focused on the manufact

the first time voters in new jersey are able to vote in person early. people can vote early by mail as well and, of course, on election day and so president obama coming out to urge turnout, urge people in new jersey a state where registered democrats outnumber registered republicans by about a million, making sure they all come to the polls. the president hailing governor murphy's record and slamming his opponent, also seeking to tie his opponent to president trump, blasting him for speaking at a stop the steal rally. take a listen to some of what he said. >> when you have a candidate who spoke at a stop the steal rally, you can bet he's not going to be a champion of dem stisy -- democracy. the opponent says, he didn't know it was a rally to overturn the results of the last election. didn't know it. come on. when you're standing in front of a sign that says "stop the steal" and there's a guy in the crowd waving a confederate flag, you know this isn't a neighborhood barbecue. you know it's not a league of women voters rally. come on. come on, man. >> re

new jersey faced similar shoreline erosion. flooding, new york, while the final number of deaths is not yet in. we know 29 confirmed in louisiana, more than 40 in new york and new jersey. at least seven additional states reported deaths. in addition, experts project $90 billion impact, making it the seventh costliest hurricane to hit the u.s. since 2000. seven hurricanes, more than $90 billion in economic impact, seven within 20 years. ida pot is a lot including -- ida teaches us a lot including what works and what doesn't. we must also recognize until we address the root causes of climate change, the u.s. will continue to face natural disasters of increasing severity and intensity with more devastating impacts. that is why we need to rapidly reduce greenhouse gas emissions, increase investments and create jobs while doing so. an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure. his words still ring true today. the corps of engineers civil works department provides value to our nation as a primary provider of water resources in the

new jersey has the highest property taxes in the nation new jersey year over year has the worst business climate in the nation i would suggest if those things continue as they have under phil murphy's four years new jersey is dying a slow death. nabisco is the latest to move out. oreo cookies won't be made in new jersey 600 good middle class paying jobs moved to the carolinas. i put a plan how to not raise taxes but also make us the envy of the other states when it comes to our economic climate. >> i think governor murphy heard the footsteps because he stopped talking about raising taxes and talking about not doing that we have people like josh scgot jeimer, who said he doesn't want to raise taxes anywhere at this point. do you think at this point your prospects are looking much better i know that you're going to say yes, but i have seen single digit poll numbers recently, which is surprising, because new jersey is so deep blue most of the time although there was chris christie, but it's an uphill battle for a republican in new jersey >> it is an uphill battle but that doesn't mean it ca

hoping to go straight to newark, new jersey. that's where former president barack obama just took the stage to stump for the governor there, phil murphy. let's listen. >> i've known phil for a long time. he was an early supporter of mine. back when people could not pronounce my name. you know, that's my test. you know, a lot of people started coming on board once, and it was all right. but back in the day, you know, having those early folks, that meant a lot. so phil and tammy, they've been good friends to me and michelle for a long

york and new jersey. and reporting at least seven additional states. in addition, experts project the economic impact over $90 billion making it the seventh costliest hurricane to hit the united states since the year 2000. seven hurricanes each responsible for $90 billion in economic impact all within 20 years. like all major storms, it will teach a lot including what works and what does not work and while we can all be thankful for the engineering protected as one of the most vital systems from the destruction we must also recognize that until we address the root causes the u.s. will continue to face natural disasters and increasing severity and intensity leaving more devastating impacts and that's why we need to dramatically reduce the greenhouse gas emissions while we reduce investments andnd resiliency and create a lot of jobs while doing so. the prevention is worth a pound of cure and here is where it's still ringing the truth today. the corps of engineers provides tremendous value to the nation as a

saw it in new jersey. president biden repeated for the fifth time a story about riding amtrak that has been debunked for months now. >> president biden: as vice president i used the like to take the train home because my mom was very sick and dying. the secret service are wonderful, the best in the world. they never liked me taking amtrak because it stops too often and too many people get on and you don't know. so i walking up to the getting in the train on that friday and a guy who was the number three guy from new jersey a guy name negri came up and grabbed my cheek and i thought they would shoot him. i said no, he is a friend. joey, what's the big deal? >> harris: joe, what's the big deal? >> the big deal is a, i'm from new jersey. you live in new jersey. do we really speak like that? this whole thing about us having an accent i'm sorry, right. let's unpack this. the president said he had this very specific conversation with the conductor on the train as vice president. a conductor who retired 16 years
