THEY WON'T BE ABLE TO VOTE.

BAL
BALLOT, THAT'S NOTED IN THE 
OFFICIAL VOTING RECORD
WHEN VOTERS SHOW UP, IN PERSON,

IT IN, THEY GET WHAT'S CALLED A

BE COUNTED IF IT TURNS OUT THE

EXPERTS ON THE NATION'S ELECTION
SYSTEM SAY DUPLICATE VOTES ARE
EASILY FLAGGED.

TWICE, EVEN IF THEY DID SO, 
INNOCENTLY, OR THEY FORGOT WHAT 
THEY HAD DONE, THAT WILL BE 
CAUGHT

VOTERS TO TRACK THEIR MAIL-IN 
BALLOTS ONLINE, TO MAKE SURE
THEY'RE RECEIVED
BUT THE PRESIDENT ENCOURAGED
PEOPLE WHO VOTE BY MAIL TO GO TO
THE POLLING PLACE ON ELECTION 
DAY, ANYWAY, TO SEE IF THERE IS 
A RECORD OF IT
AND IF NOT, TO VOTE IN PERSON.
STATE ELECTION OFFICIALS ADVISE 
AGAINST THAT

18 BEATS A MINUTE.
THERE IS A POSSIBILITY OF LIFE,

CONTINUES IN KENOSHA, SO DO THE 
POLITICS OF PROTEST.
JOE BIDEN ON THE GROUND IN THIS 
BATTERED, BURNED OUT CITY TWO 
DAYS AFTER PRESIDENT TRUMP'S
VISIT.
THE TONE AND TENOR HERE, MUCH 
DIFFERENT.
STREETS CALM
THE BARRICADES, HEAVY POLICE AND
NATIONAL GUARD PRESENCE, GONE.
A HANDFUL OF RESIDENTS GATHERING
TO SUPPORT THE FORMER VICE
PRESIDENT.
>> HE BRINGS HOPE, TO A LOT OF
PEOPLE
AND -- AND I THINK WE NEED THAT,
AS A COUNTRY
>> Reporter: BIDEN'S TRIP BEGINS
AWAY FROM THE CAMERAS, SITTING
DOWN WITH JACOB BLAKE'S FAMILY, 
AND TALKING ON THE PHONE WITH 
THE 29-YEAR-OLD, SHOT SEVEN 
TIMES, IN THE BACK, BY A KENOSHA
POLICE OFFICER. 
>> HE TALKED ABOUT HOW NOTHING
WAS GOING TO DEFEAT HIM.
HOW, WHETHER HE WALKED AGAIN OR 
NOT, HE WAS NOT GOING TO GIVE 
UP
>> Reporter: THE DEMOCRATIC 
PRESIDENTIAL NOMINEE CLOSING OUT
HIS SHORT VISIT WITH A
ROUNDTABLE DISCUSSION WITH
COMMUNITY MEMBERS.
>> THERE'S A LOT WE'RE ABLE TO
DO
THE PUBLIC IS READY TO DO THESE 
THINGS
I PROMISE YOU.
I PROMISE YOU.
>> Reporter: MANY IN THIS 
NORMALLY QUIET COMMUNITY SAY
THEY'RE READY FOR THE NATIONAL
SPOTLIGHT TO FADE.
AND FOR THE SCARS TO BEGIN TO 
HEAL
>> I DON'T RELISH THE ATTENTION 
FOR KENOSHA.
BUT I DID SAY THAT KENOSHA IS 
CAPABLE OF BUILDING BACK, AND 
ACTUALLY MAKING SYSTEM CHANGES, 
THAT WOULD MAKE A DIFFERENCE FOR
PEOPLE
>> Reporter: ONE OF THE FEW 
THINGS, IT SEEMS, MOST EVERYONE 
CAN AGREE ON, HERE
JAY GRAY, NBC NEWS, KENOSHA,
WISCONSIN.
>>> A NEW WARNING FROM ELECTION 
OFFICIALS PUSHING BACK ON 
PRESIDENT TRUMP, AFTER HE 
SUGGESTED VOTERS ILLEGALLY CAST 
BALLOTS, TWICE, TO TEST THE 
SYSTEM
BOTH, IN PERSON AND BY MAIL.
HERE'S PETE WILLIAMS
>> Reporter: IN NORTH CAROLINA, 
PRESIDENT TRUMP CONTINUED HIS 
ATTACK ON VOTING BY MAIL
SUGGESTING, WEDNESDAY, THAT 
VOTERS TEST THE SYSTEM, BY
VOTING TWICE
ONCE, BY MAIL.
AND THEN, AGAIN, AT THE POLLS TO
SEE IF THEY CAN DO IT.
>> SO LET 'EM SEND IT IN, AND 
LET THEM GO VOTE
AND IF THEIR SYSTEM'S AS GOOD AS
THEY SAY IT IS, THEN OBVIOUSLY, 
THEY WON'T BE ABLE TO VOTE. 
>> THAT PROMPTED A STERN WARNING
FROM ELECTION OFFICIALS AND 
PROSECUTORS.
>> TO GO AND TRY TO VOTE A
SECOND TIME, AS A WAY TO TEST 
THE SYSTEM, IS A FELONY IN NORTH
CAROLINA
DO NOT DO THAT
IT'S A TERRIBLE IDEA
>> Reporter: ELECTION EXPERTS 
SAY IT WON'T WORK, ANYWAY.
HERE'S WHY
IF A VOTER IS SENT A MAIL-IN
BAL
BALLOT, THAT'S NOTED IN THE 
OFFICIAL VOTING RECORD
WHEN VOTERS SHOW UP, IN PERSON, 
A POLL WORKER CHECKS THEIR NAMES
IN AN ELECTRONIC OR PRINTED 
VERSION OF THAT RECORD
IT FLAGS THOSE WHO WERE SENT AN 
ABSENTEE BALLOT, SHOWN IN THIS
EXAMPLE FROM MICHIGAN WITH RED
QUESTION MARKS
IF THEY INSIST THEY NEVER SENT
IT IN, THEY GET WHAT'S CALLED A 
PROVISIONAL BALLOT, WHICH WON'T 
BE COUNTED IF IT TURNS OUT THE
MAIL BALLOT WAS SENT, AFTER ALL.
EXPERTS ON THE NATION'S ELECTION
SYSTEM SAY DUPLICATE VOTES ARE
EASILY FLAGGED. 
>> IF SOMEONE WERE TO VOTE
TWICE, EVEN IF THEY DID SO, 
INNOCENTLY, OR THEY FORGOT WHAT 
THEY HAD DONE, THAT WILL BE 
CAUGHT
>> Reporter: MANY STATES ALLOW
VOTERS TO TRACK THEIR MAIL-IN 
BALLOTS ONLINE, TO MAKE SURE
THEY'RE RECEIVED
BUT THE PRESIDENT ENCOURAGED
PEOPLE WHO VOTE BY MAIL TO GO TO
THE POLLING PLACE ON ELECTION 
DAY, ANYWAY, TO SEE IF THERE IS 
A RECORD OF IT
AND IF NOT, TO VOTE IN PERSON.
STATE ELECTION OFFICIALS ADVISE 
AGAINST THAT
SAYING IT WILL JUST SLOW DOWN 
THE VOTING LINE, FOR EVERYONE 
ELSE
AND NOW, TWITTER SAYS THE 
PRESIDENT'S TWEET VIOLATES ITS
RULES ON ELECTION INTEGRITY.
>> THAT WAS PETE WILLIAMS 
REPORTING.
>>> NOW, TO A WILD DAY ON WALL
STREET
THE DOW PLUNGED MORE THAN 800 
POINTS
ITS WORST DAY, SINCE JUNE, WITH 
THE NASDAQ TUMBLING NEARLY 5%.
IT WAS ALL DUE TO A SELLOFF OF
TECH STOCKS.
ALSO, AMOUNTED TO THAT SECTOR'S 
WORST DAY SINCE MARCH.
APPLE ALONE LOST NEARLY $180
BILLION IN MARKET VALUE.
MORE THAN ANY AMERICAN COMPANY, 
EVER

UNDER THE RUBBLE IN BEIRUT
NEARLY, A MONTH AFTER A MASSIVE 
EXPLOSION KILLED ALMOST 200 
PEOPLE, A CHILEAN 
SEARCH-AND-RESCUE TEAM SAYS THEY
HAVE SEEN SIGNS OF LIFE,
DETECTED UNDER THE WRECKAGE.
THAT SIGNALS THAT SOMEBODY OR 
SOMETHING MAY STILL BE ALIVE
UNDER A COLLAPSED BUILDING
AND NOW, CREWS ARE WORKING
AROUND THE CLOCK TO SAVE THE
SURVIVOR
HERE'S NBC'S RICHARD ENGEL
>> Reporter: MAYBE, THERE ARE 
STILL MIRACLES, THESE DAYS
AND, MAYBE, ONE IS HAPPENING IN 
BEIRUT
A CHILEAN AND LEBANESE RESCUE 
TEAM DETECTED WHAT COULD BE A 
HEARTBEAT, AND A THERMAL IMAGE
INDICATING LIFE IN A CRUMBLING
BUILDING
A DETECTOR EVEN SENSED
BREATHING.
IT INDICATED THERE IS A PULSE,
18 BEATS A MINUTE.
THERE IS A POSSIBILITY OF LIFE, 
THIS RESCUE WORKER SAYS.
AND THAT'S SIMPLY ASTOUNDING
BECAUSE THE POSSIBLE SURVIVOR 
MSURVIVOR, 
MAYBE MORE THAN ONE, WOULD HAVE,
FIRST, HAD TO HAVE LIVED THROUGH
THIS
AN EXPLOSION OF NEARLY 3,000
TONS OF AMMONIUM NITRATE LEFT 
NEGLECTED AT BEIRUT'S CENTRAL 
PORT
IT SMASHED THE CITY.
MADE 300,000 HOMELESS.
INJURED 6,000.
KILLED 191
BUT PERHAPS, SPARED ONE.
THIS DOG, THE FIRST TO NOTICE,
MAY HAVE SNIFFED ITS WAY TO A 
MIRACLE.
AND NOW, THE TEAMS OFTEN CALL 
FOR SILENCE, SO RESCUERS CAN
LISTEN FOR ANY SIGNS OF LIFE
HOURS IN, THE SEARCH CONTINUES. 
>> RESCUE WORKERS HAVE, ALSO, 
HAD TO PAUSE SEVERAL TIMES
BECAUSE THE BUILDING IS 
SHIFTING
THEY SAY THEY WILL KEEP 
SEARCHING, EVEN IF THERE'S ONLY 
A 1% CHANCE OF FINDING A
SURVIVOR.

THAT REPORT.

WATCHED THEM KILL A FRIEND OF 
MINE OF COLOR.
I WASN'T GOING TO DO THAT.

JUSTIFIED?

THAT MY FRIEND AND I'M SURE I 
WOULD HAVE BEEN KILLED.

SCENE OF THE SHOOTING SHOWED A 
MAN ON A SKATEBOARD OR SCOOTER 
APPROACHING DANIELSON BEFORE AT

THE STATE ATTORNEY GENERAL WHO 
WAS IN CHARGE OF THE CASE BEFORE

THEY'RE WORKING DILIGENTLY TO 
ENSURE A SWIFT BUT THOROUGH

JOE BIDEN MET PRIVATELY WITH THE
FAMILY OF JACOB BLAKE IN 
WISCONSIN ON THURSDAY WHILE 
PRESIDENT TRUMP HELD A CAMPAIGN 
RALLY IN PENNSYLVANIA HOURS 
BEFORE A REPORT CLAIMED HE 
CALLED DEAD AMERICAN SOLDIERS, 
QUOTE, LOSERS AND SUCKERS.
NBC WHITE HOUSE CORRESPONDENT 
PETER ALEXANDER HAS MORE.
>> Reporter: GOOD MORNING.
THIS EXPLOSIVE NEW ARTICLE 
THREATENS TO UPSET PRESIDENT 
TRUMP'S WORDS SAYING NO ONE 
CARES MORE ABOUT THE MILITARY 
THAN HIM.
THE PRESIDENT VEHEMENTLY DENYING
THE REPORT.
PRESIDENT TRUMP WHO OFTEN TOUTS 
HIS SUPPORT FOR THE MILITARY AND
VETERANS UNDER FIRE THIS MORNING
AFTER A STINGING ARTICLE BY "THE
ATLANTIC."
THE DETAILS A CANCELED 2018 TRIP
TO A U.S. MILITARY CEMETERY IN 
FRANCE.
ACCORDING TO THE REPORT, FOUR 
PEOPLE WITH FIRST-HAND KNOWLEDGE
OF THE DISCUSSION THAT DAY SAID 
PRESIDENT TRUMP DID NOT BELIEVE 
IT WAS IMPORTANT TO HONOR 
AMERICAN WAR DEAD.
SAYING, QUOTE, WHY SHOULD I GO 
TO THAT CEMETERY?
IT'S FILLED WITH LOSERS.
AT THE TIME THE PRESIDENT SAID 
THE TRIP WAS CANCELED BECAUSE 
RAIN MADE IT TOO RISKY FOR 
MARINE ONE TO FLY THERE.
OVERNIGHT HE BLASTED THE REPORT 
SAYING IT WAS FALSE.
>> THEY MADE IT UP AND PROBABLY 
IT'S A COUPLE OF PEOPLE THAT 
HAVE BEEN FAILURES IN THE 
ADMINISTRATION THAT I GOT RID OF
AND I COULDN'T GET RID OF THEM 
FAST ENOUGH.
OR IT WAS JUST MADE UP.
>> Reporter: WITH JUST 60 DAYS 
TO GO UNTIL THE ELECTION, 
PRESIDENT TRUMP RALLYING 
SUPPORTERS IN WESTERN 
PENNSYLVANIA, A STATE HE WON BY 
FEWER THAN 45,000 VOTES IN 2016.
>> LOOK AT THE CROWDS WE HAVE.
>> Reporter: HUNDREDS IN 
ATTENDANCE WITH NO SOCIAL 
DISTANCING FLOUTING STATE RULES 
THAT REQUIRE MASKS AND LIMIT 
LARGE GATHERINGS.
STILL THE PRESIDENT DELIVERING 
THIS ADVICE AHEAD OF LABOR DAY.
>> DISTANCE FROM THE WEEKEND AND
ALL OF THAT STUFF.
WEAR YOUR MASK WHEN YOU'RE CLOSE
TOGETHER IN PARTICULAR.
>> Reporter: BUT MOCKING HIS 
DEMOCRATIC RIVAL JOE BIDEN FOR 
DOING JUST THAT. 
>> DID YOU EVER SEE A MAN WHO 
LIKES A MASK AS MUCH AS HIM?
>> Reporter: BIDEN RESPONDING ON
TWITTER.
THE PRESIDENT HAS A DUTY TO SET 
AN EXAMPLE.
THE FORMER VP IN KENOSHA, 
WISCONSIN, CALLING FOR CALM, NOT
CONFRONTATION.
>> I THINK WE'VE REACHED AN 
INFLECTION POINT IN AMERICAN 
HISTORY.
PEOPLE ARE BEGINNING TO FIGURE 
OUT WHO WE ARE AS A COUNTRY.
THIS IS NOT WHO WE ARE.
>> Reporter: BIDEN ALSO MET 
PRIVATELY WITH THE FAMILY OF 
JACOB BLAKE, THE BLACK MAN SHOT 
IN THE BACK BY POLICE SPEAKING 
BY PHONE WITH BLAKE HIMSELF NOW 
PARALYZED BUT OUT OF THE ICU.
>> HE TALKED ABOUT HOW NOTHING 
WAS GOING TO DEFEAT HIM.
HOW WHETHER HE WALKED AGAIN OR 
NOT, HE WAS NOT GOING TO GIVE 
UP.
FEAR DOESN'T SOLVE PROBLEMS.
ONLY HOPE DOES.
>> Reporter: ALSO IN THAT 
ARTICLE FROM "THE ATLANTIC" 
AFTER JOHN McCAIN'S DEATH, THE 
PRESIDENT ACCORDING TO THREE 
SOURCES WITH DIRECT KNOWLEDGE OF
THE EVENT SAID, QUOTE, WE'RE NOT
GOING TO SUPPORT THAT LOSER'S 
FUNERAL.
IN A SERIES OF TWEETS OVERNIGHT,
WHILE THE PRESIDENT ADMITTED HE 
WAS NOT A FAN OF McCAIN, HE 
APPROVED THE FUNERAL WITHOUT 
COMPLAINT CALLING IT WELL 
DESERVED AND SAID HE NEVER 
CALLED McCAIN A LOSER.
IN FACT, IN 2015 HE CALLED HIM 
JUST THAT.
>> THOSE ALLEGED QUOTES ARE 
STAGGERING IN THAT PIECE IN THE 
ATLANTIC.
I WANT TO ASK YOU ABOUT ANOTHER 
ISSUE THAT CAME UP IN THAT RALLY
IN PENNSYLVANIA LAST NIGHT.
THAT IS MAIL-IN VOTING.
THE PRESIDENT AGAIN ATTACKING 
THAT IDEA AND SUGGESTING HIS 
SUPPORTERS IN SOME CASES VOTE 
TWICE.
WHAT MORE THE K YOU TELL US?
>> Reporter: HERE'S WHAT HE 
SAID.
>> THESE MAIL-IN BALLOTS ARE A 
DISGRACE, AND THEY KNOW IT.
SIGN YOUR MAIL-IN BALLOT, OKAY?
YOU SIGN IT.
AND SEND IT IN.
AND THEN YOU HAVE TO FOLLOW IT.
AND IF ON ELECTION DAY OR EARLY 
VOTING, THAT IS NOT TABULATED 
AND COUNTED, YOU GO VOTE.
>> Reporter: AGAIN, THERE IS NO 
EVIDENCE OF WIDESPREAD VOTER 
FRAUD DUE TO MAIL-IN BALLOTING.
ELECTION OFFICIALS ARE URGING 
PEOPLE NOT TO TRY TO VOTE TWICE.
AND THE WHITE HOUSE PRESS 
SECRETARY INSISTS THE PRESIDENT 
IS NOT ENCOURAGING PEOPLE VOTE 
TWICE.
WHICH IS AGAINST THE LAW. 
TRYING TO PREVENT ANOTHER SURGE 
IN CASES.
NBC NATIONAL CORRESPONDENT 
MIGUEL ALMAGUER HAS THE LATEST.
MIGUEL, GOOD MORNING.
>> Reporter: PHARMACEUTICAL 
COMPANIES SAY THEY ARE MAKING 
PROGRESS BUT AMERICANS APPEAR TO
BE SKEPTICAL.
A NEW POLL FINDS 78% OF PEOPLE 
THINKS THE VACCINE IS BEING 
DRIVEN MORE BY POLITICS THAN 
SCIENCE.
COULD IT BE AN OCTOBER PRIZE?
THE HEAD OF VACCINE MAKER PFIZER
SAYS RESULTS COULD BE IN BY THE 
END OF NEXT MONTH.
BUT THAT DOESN'T MEAN THE 
VACCINE WILL BE READY FOR THE 
GENERAL PUBLIC.
>> WE WILL NOT CUT CORNERS.
OUR PHASE THREE STUDY WILL BE 
THE ONLY ONE THAT WILL ALLOW US 
TO SAY IF WE HAVE AN EFFECTIVE 
AND SAFE VACCINE.
>> Reporter: DR. ANTHONY FAUCI 
SAYS HE HAS CONFIDENCE IN THE 
INTEGRITY OF FDA SCIENTISTS AND 
TIMING OF RESULTS FROM PHASE 
THREE TRIALS WILL DEPEND ON REAL
WORLD CONDITIONS. 
>> IF YOU HAVE THE TRIAL BEING 
TAKEN PLACE IN AN AREA THAT 
HAPPENS TO HAVE A LOT OF 
INFECTIONS, YOU MAY GET AN 
ANSWER SOONER THAN YOU WOULD 
HAVE PROJECTED BECAUSE THE 
ANSWER IS EVENT DRIVEN.
>> Reporter: IN OTHER WORDS, 
TRIALS IN HOT SPOTS MAY YIELD 
QUICKER RESULTS.
BUT WITH SOME AMERICANS RESISTS 
EVEN DECADES' OLD VACCINES, IT'S
NOT CLEAR HOW QUICKLY THE PUBLIC
WILL EMBRACE A BRAND NEW DRUG.
A SURVEY MONKEY POLL FOUND JUST 
44% OF AMERICANS WHO SAID THEY 
WOULD GET THE VACCINE WITH 22% 
SAYING THEY WOULD NOT.
AND DRUG MANUFACTURERS VOWED 
THEY WOULD NOT INFLUENCE THE 
EFFORT.
>> I DON'T NEED TO HAVE THEM 
ANNOUNCE ON NOVEMBER 4th, LADIES
AND GENTLEMEN, WE'VE FOUND THE 
VACCINE.
IT'S PERFECT.
>> WATCHING WHAT HAPPENED WITH 
HYDROXYCHLOROQUINE, ONE WOULD BE
WORRIED ABOUT THE VACCINE.
>> Reporter: HE SAID HE WOULD 
RESIGN IF THERE'S UNDUE 
INTERFERENCE IN THIS PROCESS.
BUT EVEN WITH FAST TRACKED 
APPROVAL, EXPERTS SAY IT'S 
UNLIKELY MORE THAN A SMALL 
PERCENTAGE OF AMERICANS THAT 
COULD BE VACCINATED BEFORE 2021.
LEAVING MORE MONTHS OF 
UNCERTAINTY AND SUFFERING.
WHILE PROGRESS IS BEING MADE ON 
A VACCINE, OFFICIALS IN THIS 
COUNTRY DON'T BELIEVE ONE WILL 
BE AVAILABLE THE END OF THIS 
YEAR OR EARLY NEXT YEAR.
THE W.H.O. SAYS THEY DON'T 
BELIEVE A VACCINE WILL BE READY 
UNTIL THE MIDDLE OF NEXT YEAR.
>> ALL RIGHT.
MIGUEL, THANK YOU.
>>> TURNING NOW TO AN 
UNBELIEVABLE STORY OUT OF BEIRUT
WHERE A MONTH AFTER A MASSIVE 
EXPLOSION ROCKED THE CITY, 
SEARCH AND RESCUE TEAMS HAVE NOW
DETECTED SIGNS OF LIFE IN THE 
RUBBLE.
"TODAY'S" SENIOR INTERNATIONAL 
CORRESPONDENT KEIR SIMMONS HAS 
THE LATEST FOR US.
KEIR, GOOD MORNING.
>> Reporter: HEY, WILLIE.
GOOD MORNING TO YOU.
RIGHT NOW IN BEIRUT THEY ARE 
DIGGING THROUGH CONCRETE WALLS 
TO TRY TO GET TO A PLACE WHERE A
RESCUE DOG SENSED SIGNS OF LIFE 
AND A THERMAL CAMERA SAW WHAT 
MAY BE TWO PEOPLE.
ONE SMALLER THAN THE OTHER, 
MAYBE A CHILD.
THE RESCUE IN RUBBLE AND DEBRIS 
RESUMED EARLY THIS MORNING 
CAREFULLY SIFTING AND DIGGING 
HOPING FOR A MIRACLE.
THERMAL IMAGING CAMERAS 
DETECTING, PERHAPS, TWO WARM 
BODIES AND BREATHING.
THE TEAM OF RESCUERS IS SMALL 
BECAUSE THE ENTIRE BUILDING 
COULD COLLAPSE.
AND COULD ANYONE HAVE SURVIVED 
FOR 30 DAYS AFTER THIS?
A MONTH AGO A MASSIVE EXPLOSION 
DESTROYED MUCH OF BEIRUT'S 
DOWNTOWN COASTAL AREA WHERE TONS
OF HIGHLY EXPLOSIVE AMMONIUM 
NITRATE HAVE BEEN STORED FOR 
YEARS.
191 PEOPLE WERE KILLED AND 
AROUND 6,000 INJURED.
NOW THIS RESCUE OPERATION 
GRIPPING A NATION STILL REELING.
THERE IS A POSSIBILITY OF LIFE, 
ONE RESCUER SAYING OVERNIGHT.
A CROWD OF ONLOOKERS WERE ASKED 
FOR SILENCE SO RESCUERS COULD 
LISTEN.
THIS MORNING GATHERING AGAIN TO 
WATCH THE DESPERATE SEARCH.
I'M WATCHING HOW THEY'RE 
REMOVING ONE STONE AT A TIME, 
THIS WOMAN SAYS.
MY STOMACH IS CHURNING.
I DON'T KNOW WHAT IT IS.
HOPE, CRAZINESS, OR WHATEVER.
HOPING BEYOND HOPE FOR GOOD NEWS
AFTER SO MUCH TRAGEDY.
IT IS A RACE AGAINST TIME THAT 
EVERYBODY RECOGNIZES COULD COME 
TO NOTHING.
PEOPLE ON THE GROUND TELL US 
THAT A SCAN THIS MORNING FOUND 
NO SIGNS OF LIFE.
BUT OTHERS SAY THAT THAT SAME 
SCAN REGISTERED A SLOWING 
HEARTBEAT.
ANOTHER SCAN IS PLANNED FOR 
LATER TODAY.
EVERYONE WILL BE CROSSING THEIRE
SCENES TO SHOW US HOW EVERYTHING
IS CHANGING AT TSA CHECKPOINTS 
NATIONWIDE.
WALKING INTO ANY AIRPORT THESE 
DAYS CAN SEEM EERIE.
THE PANDEMIC HAS LEFT 
CONCOURSES, TICKET COUNTERS, AND
TSA CHECKPOINTS VIRTUALLY EMPTY.
THE LOW POINT CAME ON APRIL 14th
WHEN ONLY 87,000 PASSENGERS FLEW
NATIONWIDE.
DOWN FROM 2.5 MILLION FLYING 
EACH DAY BEFORE THE PANDEMIC.
PASSENGERS SLOWLY RETURNED OVER 
THE SUMMER.
TODAY IS EXPECTED TO BE THE 
BUSIEST DAY YET.
>> SCAN THAT ONE RIGHT HERE.
>> Reporter: AND CHECKPOINTS NOW
LOOK A BIT DIFFERENT.
PLEXIGLASS TO SEPARATE OFFICERS 
AND PASSENGERS.
STICKERS ON THE FLOOR TO KEEP 
PEOPLE SIX FEET APART.
AND NEW SELF-SERVICE KIOSKS THAT

WITH BOTH CANDIDATES TRAVELING 
THE COUNTRY THIS MORNING, 
THEY'RE TAKING DIFFERENT 
APPROACHES IN KEY BATTLEGROUND 
STATES.
JOE BIDEN MET PRIVATELY WITH THE
FAMILY OF JACOB BLAKE IN 
WISCONSIN ON THURSDAY WHILE 
PRESIDENT TRUMP HELD A CAMPAIGN 
RALLY IN PENNSYLVANIA HOURS 
BEFORE A REPORT CLAIMED HE 
CALLED DEAD AMERICAN SOLDIERS, 
QUOTE, LOSERS AND SUCKERS.
NBC WHITE HOUSE CORRESPONDENT 
PETER ALEXANDER HAS MORE.
>> Reporter: GOOD MORNING.
THIS EXPLOSIVE NEW ARTICLE 
THREATENS TO UPSET PRESIDENT 
TRUMP'S WORDS SAYING NO ONE 
CARES MORE ABOUT THE MILITARY 
THAN HIM.
THE PRESIDENT VEHEMENTLY DENYING
THE REPORT.
PRESIDENT TRUMP WHO OFTEN TOUTS 
HIS SUPPORT FOR THE MILITARY AND
VETERANS UNDER FIRE THIS MORNING
AFTER A STINGING ARTICLE BY "THE
ATLANTIC."
THE DETAILS A CANCELED 2018 TRIP
TO A U.S. MILITARY CEMETERY IN 
FRANCE.
ACCORDING TO THE REPORT, FOUR 
PEOPLE WITH FIRST-HAND KNOWLEDGE
OF THE DISCUSSION THAT DAY SAID 
PRESIDENT TRUMP DID NOT BELIEVE 
IT WAS IMPORTANT TO HONOR 
AMERICAN WAR DEAD.
SAYING, QUOTE, WHY SHOULD I GO 
TO THAT CEMETERY?
IT'S FILLED WITH LOSERS.
AT THE TIME THE PRESIDENT SAID 
THE TRIP WAS CANCELED BECAUSE 
RAIN MADE IT TOO RISKY FOR 
MARINE ONE TO FLY THERE.
OVERNIGHT HE BLASTED THE REPORT 
SAYING IT WAS FALSE.
>> THEY MADE IT UP AND PROBABLY 
IT'S A COUPLE OF PEOPLE THAT 
HAVE BEEN FAILURES IN THE 
ADMINISTRATION THAT I GOT RID OF
AND I COULDN'T GET RID OF THEM 
FAST ENOUGH.
OR IT WAS JUST MADE UP.
>> Reporter: WITH JUST 60 DAYS 
TO GO UNTIL THE ELECTION, 
PRESIDENT TRUMP RALLYING 
SUPPORTERS IN WESTERN 
PENNSYLVANIA, A STATE HE WON BY 
FEWER THAN 45,000 VOTES IN 2016.
>> LOOK AT THE CROWDS WE HAVE.
>> Reporter: HUNDREDS IN 
ATTENDANCE WITH NO SOCIAL 
DISTANCING FLOUTING STATE RULES 
THAT REQUIRE MASKS AND LIMIT 
LARGE GATHERINGS.
STILL THE PRESIDENT DELIVERING 
THIS ADVICE AHEAD OF LABOR DAY.
>> DISTANCE FROM THE WEEKEND AND
ALL OF THAT STUFF.
WEAR YOUR MASK WHEN YOU'RE CLOSE
TOGETHER IN PARTICULAR.
>> Reporter: BUT MOCKING HIS 
DEMOCRATIC RIVAL JOE BIDEN FOR 
DOING JUST THAT. 
>> DID YOU EVER SEE A MAN WHO 
LIKES A MASK AS MUCH AS HIM?
>> Reporter: BIDEN RESPONDING ON
TWITTER.
THE PRESIDENT HAS A DUTY TO SET 
AN EXAMPLE.
THE FORMER VP IN KENOSHA, 
WISCONSIN, CALLING FOR CALM, NOT
CONFRONTATION.
>> I THINK WE'VE REACHED AN 
INFLECTION POINT IN AMERICAN 
HISTORY.
PEOPLE ARE BEGINNING TO FIGURE 
OUT WHO WE ARE AS A COUNTRY.
THIS IS NOT WHO WE ARE.
>> Reporter: BIDEN ALSO MET 
PRIVATELY WITH THE FAMILY OF 
JACOB BLAKE, THE BLACK MAN SHOT 
IN THE BACK BY POLICE SPEAKING 
BY PHONE WITH BLAKE HIMSELF NOW 
PARALYZED BUT OUT OF THE ICU.
>> HE TALKED ABOUT HOW NOTHING 
WAS GOING TO DEFEAT HIM.
HOW WHETHER HE WALKED AGAIN OR 
NOT, HE WAS NOT GOING TO GIVE 
UP.
FEAR DOESN'T SOLVE PROBLEMS.
ONLY HOPE DOES.
>> Reporter: ALSO IN THAT 
ARTICLE FROM "THE ATLANTIC" 
AFTER JOHN McCAIN'S DEATH, THE 
PRESIDENT ACCORDING TO THREE 
SOURCES WITH DIRECT KNOWLEDGE OF
THE EVENT SAID, QUOTE, WE'RE NOT
GOING TO SUPPORT THAT LOSER'S 
FUNERAL.
IN A SERIES OF TWEETS OVERNIGHT,
WHILE THE PRESIDENT ADMITTED HE 
WAS NOT A FAN OF McCAIN, HE 
APPROVED THE FUNERAL WITHOUT 
COMPLAINT CALLING IT WELL 
DESERVED AND SAID HE NEVER 
CALLED McCAIN A LOSER.
IN FACT, IN 2015 HE CALLED HIM 
JUST THAT.
>> THOSE ALLEGED QUOTES ARE 
STAGGERING IN THAT PIECE IN THE 
ATLANTIC.
I WANT TO ASK YOU ABOUT ANOTHER 
ISSUE THAT CAME UP IN THAT RALLY
IN PENNSYLVANIA LAST NIGHT.
THAT IS MAIL-IN VOTING.
THE PRESIDENT AGAIN ATTACKING 
THAT IDEA AND SUGGESTING HIS 
SUPPORTERS IN SOME CASES VOTE 
TWICE.
WHAT MORE THE K YOU TELL US?
>> Reporter: HERE'S WHAT HE 
SAID.
>> THESE MAIL-IN BALLOTS ARE A 
DISGRACE, AND THEY KNOW IT.
SIGN YOUR MAIL-IN BALLOT, OKAY?
YOU SIGN IT.
AND SEND IT IN.
AND THEN YOU HAVE TO FOLLOW IT.
AND IF ON ELECTION DAY OR EARLY 
VOTING, THAT IS NOT TABULATED 
AND COUNTED, YOU GO VOTE.
>> Reporter: AGAIN, THERE IS NO 
EVIDENCE OF WIDESPREAD VOTER 
FRAUD DUE TO MAIL-IN BALLOTING.
ELECTION OFFICIALS ARE URGING 
PEOPLE NOT TO TRY TO VOTE TWICE.
AND THE WHITE HOUSE PRESS 
SECRETARY INSISTS THE PRESIDENT 
IS NOT ENCOURAGING PEOPLE VOTE 
TWICE.
WHICH IS AGAINST THE LAW. 
TRYING TO PREVENT ANOTHER SURGE 
IN CASES.
NBC NATIONAL CORRESPONDENT 
MIGUEL ALMAGUER HAS THE LATEST.
MIGUEL, GOOD MORNING.
>> Reporter: PHARMACEUTICAL 
COMPANIES SAY THEY ARE MAKING 
PROGRESS BUT AMERICANS APPEAR TO
BE SKEPTICAL.
A NEW POLL FINDS 78% OF PEOPLE 
THINKS THE VACCINE IS BEING 
DRIVEN MORE BY POLITICS THAN 
SCIENCE.
COULD IT BE AN OCTOBER PRIZE?
THE HEAD OF VACCINE MAKER PFIZER
SAYS RESULTS COULD BE IN BY THE 
END OF NEXT MONTH.
BUT THAT DOESN'T MEAN THE 
VACCINE WILL BE READY FOR THE 
GENERAL PUBLIC.
>> WE WILL NOT CUT CORNERS.
OUR PHASE THREE STUDY WILL BE 
THE ONLY ONE THAT WILL ALLOW US 
TO SAY IF WE HAVE AN EFFECTIVE 
AND SAFE VACCINE.
>> Reporter: DR. ANTHONY FAUCI 
SAYS HE HAS CONFIDENCE IN THE 
INTEGRITY OF FDA SCIENTISTS AND 
TIMING OF RESULTS FROM PHASE 
THREE TRIALS WILL DEPEND ON REAL
WORLD CONDITIONS. 
>> IF YOU HAVE THE TRIAL BEING 
TAKEN PLACE IN AN AREA THAT 
HAPPENS TO HAVE A LOT OF 
INFECTIONS, YOU MAY GET AN 
ANSWER SOONER THAN YOU WOULD 
HAVE PROJECTED BECAUSE THE 
ANSWER IS EVENT DRIVEN.
>> Reporter: IN OTHER WORDS, 
TRIALS IN HOT SPOTS MAY YIELD 
QUICKER RESULTS.
BUT WITH SOME AMERICANS RESISTS 
EVEN DECADES' OLD VACCINES, IT'S
NOT CLEAR HOW QUICKLY THE PUBLIC
WILL EMBRACE A BRAND NEW DRUG.
A SURVEY MONKEY POLL FOUND JUST 
44% OF AMERICANS WHO SAID THEY 
WOULD GET THE VACCINE WITH 22% 
SAYING THEY WOULD NOT.
AND DRUG MANUFACTURERS VOWED 
THEY WOULD NOT INFLUENCE THE 
EFFORT.
>> I DON'T NEED TO HAVE THEM 
ANNOUNCE ON NOVEMBER 4th, LADIES
AND GENTLEMEN, WE'VE FOUND THE 
VACCINE.
IT'S PERFECT.
>> WATCHING WHAT HAPPENED WITH 
HYDROXYCHLOROQUINE, ONE WOULD BE
WORRIED ABOUT THE VACCINE.
>> Reporter: HE SAID HE WOULD 
RESIGN IF THERE'S UNDUE 
INTERFERENCE IN THIS PROCESS.
BUT EVEN WITH FAST TRACKED 
APPROVAL, EXPERTS SAY IT'S 
UNLIKELY MORE THAN A SMALL 
PERCENTAGE OF AMERICANS THAT 
COULD BE VACCINATED BEFORE 2021.
LEAVING MORE MONTHS OF 
UNCERTAINTY AND SUFFERING.
WHILE PROGRESS IS BEING MADE ON 
A VACCINE, OFFICIALS IN THIS 
COUNTRY DON'T BELIEVE ONE WILL 
BE AVAILABLE THE END OF THIS 
YEAR OR EARLY NEXT YEAR.
THE W.H.O. SAYS THEY DON'T 
BELIEVE A VACCINE WILL BE READY 
UNTIL THE MIDDLE OF NEXT YEAR.
>> ALL RIGHT.
MIGUEL, THANK YOU.
>>> TURNING NOW TO AN 
UNBELIEVABLE STORY OUT OF BEIRUT
WHERE A MONTH AFTER A MASSIVE 
EXPLOSION ROCKED THE CITY, 
SEARCH AND RESCUE TEAMS HAVE NOW
DETECTED SIGNS OF LIFE IN THE 
RUBBLE.
"TODAY'S" SENIOR INTERNATIONAL 
CORRESPONDENT KEIR SIMMONS HAS 
THE LATEST FOR US.
KEIR, GOOD MORNING.
>> Reporter: HEY, WILLIE.
GOOD MORNING TO YOU.
RIGHT NOW IN BEIRUT THEY ARE 
DIGGING THROUGH CONCRETE WALLS 
TO TRY TO GET TO A PLACE WHERE A
RESCUE DOG SENSED SIGNS OF LIFE 
AND A THERMAL CAMERA SAW WHAT 
MAY BE TWO PEOPLE.
ONE SMALLER THAN THE OTHER, 
MAYBE A CHILD.
THE RESCUE IN RUBBLE AND DEBRIS 
RESUMED EARLY THIS MORNING 
CAREFULLY SIFTING AND DIGGING 
HOPING FOR A MIRACLE.
THERMAL IMAGING CAMERAS 
DETECTING, PERHAPS, TWO WARM 
BODIES AND BREATHING.
THE TEAM OF RESCUERS IS SMALL 
BECAUSE THE ENTIRE BUILDING 
COULD COLLAPSE.
AND COULD ANYONE HAVE SURVIVED 
FOR 30 DAYS AFTER THIS?
A MONTH AGO A MASSIVE EXPLOSION 
DESTROYED MUCH OF BEIRUT'S 
DOWNTOWN COASTAL AREA WHERE TONS
OF HIGHLY EXPLOSIVE AMMONIUM 
NITRATE HAVE BEEN STORED FOR 
YEARS.
191 PEOPLE WERE KILLED AND 
AROUND 6,000 INJURED.
NOW THIS RESCUE OPERATION 
GRIPPING A NATION STILL REELING.
THERE IS A POSSIBILITY OF LIFE, 
ONE RESCUER SAYING OVERNIGHT.
A CROWD OF ONLOOKERS WERE ASKED 
FOR SILENCE SO RESCUERS COULD 
LISTEN.
THIS MORNING GATHERING AGAIN TO 
WATCH THE DESPERATE SEARCH.
I'M WATCHING HOW THEY'RE 
REMOVING ONE STONE AT A TIME, 
THIS WOMAN SAYS.
MY STOMACH IS CHURNING.
I DON'T KNOW WHAT IT IS.
HOPE, CRAZINESS, OR WHATEVER.
HOPING BEYOND HOPE FOR GOOD NEWS
AFTER SO MUCH TRAGEDY.
IT IS A RACE AGAINST TIME THAT 
EVERYBODY RECOGNIZES COULD COME 
TO NOTHING.
PEOPLE ON THE GROUND TELL US 
THAT A SCAN THIS MORNING FOUND 
NO SIGNS OF LIFE.
BUT OTHERS SAY THAT THAT SAME 
SCAN REGISTERED A SLOWING 
HEARTBEAT.
ANOTHER SCAN IS PLANNED FOR 
LATER TODAY.
EVERYONE WILL BE CROSSING THEIRE
SCENES TO SHOW US HOW EVERYTHING
IS CHANGING AT TSA CHECKPOINTS 
NATIONWIDE.
WALKING INTO ANY AIRPORT THESE 
DAYS CAN SEEM EERIE.
THE PANDEMIC HAS LEFT 
CONCOURSES, TICKET COUNTERS, AND
TSA CHECKPOINTS VIRTUALLY EMPTY.
THE LOW POINT CAME ON APRIL 14th
WHEN ONLY 87,000 PASSENGERS FLEW
NATIONWIDE.
DOWN FROM 2.5 MILLION FLYING 
EACH DAY BEFORE THE PANDEMIC.
PASSENGERS SLOWLY RETURNED OVER 
THE SUMMER.
TODAY IS EXPECTED TO BE THE 
BUSIEST DAY YET.
>> SCAN THAT ONE RIGHT HERE.
>> Reporter: AND CHECKPOINTS NOW
LOOK A BIT DIFFERENT.
PLEXIGLASS TO SEPARATE OFFICERS 
AND PASSENGERS.
STICKERS ON THE FLOOR TO KEEP 
PEOPLE SIX FEET APART.
AND NEW SELF-SERVICE KIOSKS THAT
CHECK YOUR ID THEN MATCH IT TO 
YOUR AIRLINE TICKET RECORD.
TSA CHIEF ADMIRAL DAVID PEKOSKY.
>> YOU TAKE YOUR CREDENTIAL AND

OR THEY WILL SANITIZE THE

WHATSOEVER.

IN THE INTEGRITY 
OF FDA SCIENTISTS
AND TIMING OF

WILL DEPEND ON

THE TRIAL BEING 
TAKEN PLACE IN 
AN AREA THAT 
HAPPENS TO HAVE 
A LOT OF 
INFECTION, YOU 
MIGHT GET AN 
ANSWER SOONER 
THAN PROJECTED. 
THE ANSWER IS 
EVENT DRIVEN. 
>> TRIALS IN 
HOTSPOT MAY YIELD
LIQUOR RESULTS. 
BUT, SOME 
AMERICANS 
RESISTING EVEN 
DECADES OLD 
VACCINES IT IS 
NOT CLEAR HOW 
QUICKLY THE 
PUBLIC WOULD 
EMBRACE A BRAND-
NEW DRUG. 
A SURVEY POLLED 
FOUND JUST 44% 
OF AMERICANS WHO 
SAID THEY WOULD 
GET THE VACCINE 
WITH 22% SAYING 
THEY WERE NOT. 
32% WERE NOT 
SURE. 
DRUG 
MANUFACTURERS 
PROMISED 
POLITICS WOULD 
NOT INFLUENCE 
THE VACCINE 
EFFORTS. 
BUT THE CDC HAS 
TOLD STATE 
GOVERNORS TO 
PREPARE TO 
DISTRIBUTE 
MILLIONS OF 
DOSES AS SOON AS 
NOVEMBER 1. 
>> I DO NOT NEED 
TO HAVE THEM AN 
OUNCE NOVEMBER

FOUND THE

HAPPENED WITH 
CONVALESCENT

THERE WOULD BE 
UNDO INFLUENCE 
ON THE VACCINE. 
>> THE CHIEF 
SCIENTIFIC 
ADVISOR TO THE 
VACCINE EFFORT 
SAID HE WOULD 
RESIGN IF THERE 
IS UNDUE 
INTERFERENCE IN 
THE PROCESS. 
BUT EVEN FAST 
TRACK APPROVAL, 
EXPERTS SAY IT 
IS UNLIKELY MORE 
THAN A SMALL 
PERCENTAGE OF 
AMERICANS COULD 
BE VACCINATED 
BEFORE 2021. 
LEAVING SEVERAL 
MORE MONTHS OF 
UNCERTAINTY AND 
SUFFERING. 
WHILE PROGRESS 
IS BEING MADE ON 
A VACCINE, 
OFFICIALS IN 
THIS COUNTRY DO 
NOT BELIEVE ONE

>>> TURNING TO 
AN UNBELIEVABLE 
STORY OUT OF 
BEIRUT WHERE ONE 
MONTH AFTER A 
MASSIVE 
EXPLOSION ROCKED 
THE CITY, SEARCH 
AND RESCUE TEAMS 
HAVE DETECTED 
SIGNS OF LIFE IN 
THE RUBBLE. 
WE HAVE THE VERY 
LATEST. 
>> Reporter: 
GOOD MORNING, 
RIGHT NOW IN 
BEIRUT THEY ARE 
DIGGING THROUGH 
CONCRETE WALLS 
TO TRY TO GET TO 
A PLACE WHERE A 
RESCUE DOG SENSES
SIGNS OF LIFE 
AND A THERMAL 
CAMERA SOLID 
MAYBE TWO PEOPLE.
ONE SMALLER THAN 
THE OTHER MAYBE 
A CHILD. 
THE RESCUE IN 
RUBBLE AND 
DEBRIS RESUMED 
EARLY THIS 
MORNING. 
CAREFULLY SIFTING
AND DIGGING, 
HOPING FOR A 
MIRACLE. 
THERMAL IMAGING 
CAMERAS 
DETECTING 
PERHAPS TWO WARM 
BODIES. A TEAM 
OF RESCUERS IS 
SMALL BECAUSE 
THE ENTIRE 
BUILDING COULD 
COLLAPSE. 
COULD ANYONE 
HAVE SURVIVED 
FOR 30 DAYS AFTER
THIS. 
MONTHS AGO, A 
MASSIVE 
EXPLOSION 
DESTROYED MUCH 
OF THE DOWNTOWN 
BEIRUT COASTAL 
AREA WHERE 
HIGHLY EXPLOSIVE 
AMMONIUM NITRATE 
HAD BEEN STORED 
FOR YEARS. 
191 PEOPLE WERE 
KILLED AND 6000 
INJURED. 
THE RESCUE 
OPERATION NOW 
GRIPPING A 
NATION STILL 
REELING. 
THERE IS A 
POSSIBILITY OF 
LIFE RESCUERS 
SAY OVERNIGHT. 
A CROWD OF 
ONLOOKERS WERE 
IN SILENCE SO 
RESCUERS COULD 
LISTEN. 
THIS MORNING 
GATHERING AGAIN 
TO WATCH THE 
SEARCH. 
I AM WATCHING 
HOW THEY ARE 
REMOVING ONE 
STONE AT A TIME. 
MY STOMACH IS 
CHURNING, I DO 
NOT KNOW WHAT IT 
IS, HOPE, 
CRAZINESS. 
HOPING BEYOND 
HOPE FOR GOOD 
NEWS AFTER SO 
MUCH TRAGEDY. 
>> IT IS A RACE 
AGAINST TIME BUT 
EVERYBODY 
RECOGNIZES IT 
COULD COME TO 
NOTHING. 
PEOPLE ON THE 
GROUND TELL US A 
SCAN THIS 
MORNING FOUND NO 
SIGNS OF LIFE 
BUT OTHERS SAY 
THAT SAME SCAN 
REGISTERED A 
SLOWING 
HEARTBEAT. 
ANOTHER SCAN 
PLANNED FOR 
LATER TODAY AND 
EVERYONE IS 
CROSSING THEIR 
FINGERS AND 
PRAYING. 
>>> WALKING INTO 
ANY AIRPORT 
THESE DAYS CAN 
SEEM VERY. 
THE PANDEMIC HAS 
LEFT CONCOURSES, 
TICKET COUNTERS 
AND CHECKPOINTS 
VIRTUALLY EMPTY. 
BELOW POINT WAS 
APRIL 14 WHEN 
ONLY 87,000 
PASSENGERS FLEW 
NATIONWIDE DOWN 
FROM 2.5 MILLION 
FLYING EACH DAY 
BEFORE THE 
PANDEMIC. 
PASSENGERS 
SLOWLY RETURNED 
OVER THE SUMMER. 
TODAY IS 
EXPECTED TO BE 
THE BUSIEST DAY 
YET 900,000 
PASSENGERS 
NATIONWIDE. 
CHECKPOINTS NOW 
LOOK A BIT 
DIFFERENT. 
PLEXIGLAS TWO 
SEPARATE 
OFFICERS AND 
PASSENGERS. 
STICKERS ON THE 
FLOOR TO KEEP 
PASSENGERS FEET 
APART. 
AND NEW SELF-
SERVICE KIOSKS. 
THEY ARE YOUR ID 
THEN MATTER TO 
YOUR AIRLINE 
TICKET RECORD. 
THE TSA CHIEF. 
>> TAKE YOUR 
CREDENTIAL AND 
INSERT IT INTO 
THE MACHINE HERE.
IT WILL ASK YOU 
TO BRING YOUR 
MASK DOWN. 
THE MACHINE WILL 
CAPTURE AN 
IMAGE. 
AND THEN THE 
CREDENTIAL COMES 
OUT, I TAKE IT, 
NO TOUCH BETWEEN 
THE OFFICER AND 
ME. 
>> NOW, 434 
AIRPORTS, NEW 
SOFTWARE AND 
FULL BODY 
SCANNERS 
REDUCING THE 
NEED FOR PAT 
DOWNS. 
NEW ANTI-
MICROBIAL ENDS 
AND MORE CT 
SCANNERS 
ALLOWING 
OFFICERS TO 
MANIPULATE IMAGES
OF WHAT IS 
INSIDE YOUR 
CARRY-ON BAG. 
REDUCING THE 
NEED TO DO BAG 
CHECKS. 
>> IF THE TSA 
OFFICER IS GOING 
TO REACH INTO A 
BAG AND THEN 
INTO MY BAG ARE 
THEY USING THE 
SAME GLOVES? 
>> THEY WILL 
EITHER CHANGE 
THE GLOVES OUT, 
IF YOU ASK THEM 
TO THEY WILL. 
OR, THEY WILL 
SANITIZE THE 
GLOVES. 
>> OFFICERS MUST 
CHANGE GLOVES FOR
EVERY BODY ARE. 
IN ANY WAY IS 
SECURITY BEING 
COMPROMISED 
BECAUSE OF US 
WEARING MASKS 
AND THE PLEXIGLAS
>> NONE 
WHATSOEVER, 
EVERY ONE OF 
THESE NEW 
TECHNOLOGY 
ADVANCES FIRST 
AND FOREMOST 
IMPROVING 
SECURITY A LOT. 
SECONDARILY, AS 
WE LOOK AT 
TECHNOLOGY, 
EVERYTHING WILL 
GET NOT ONLY 
WILL IT IMPROVE 
SECURITY BUT 
PASSENGER 
EXPERIENCE. 
>> AN UNEXPECTED 
DEVELOPMENT, 
WHILE PASSENGER 
VOLUME IS DOWN 
75%, THE RATIO 
OF GUN 
CONFISCATIONS 
PER PASSENGER 
HAS TRIPLED. 
80% OF THEM ARE 
LOADED. 
MOST CLAIM THEY 
SIMPLY FORGOT 
THE GUN WAS IN A 
BAG. 
THE FIRST 
OFFENSE COMES 
WITH A FEDERAL 
FINE OF UP TO 
$4100 AND THE 
POSSIBILITY OF 
LOCAL CRIMINAL 
CHARGES. 
NOT A GOOD THING 
TO FORGET. 
BEFORE THE 
PANDEMIC WE WERE 
TALKING ABOUT 
THE TSA BEING 
SHORT STAFFED 
MAYBE THEY HAD 
HIGH TURNOVER. 
NOW, THEY HAVE 
TOO MANY 
OFFICERS THERE 
SPREADING THEM 
OUT TO MAKE SURE 
THEY HAVE GOOD 
SOCIAL 
DISTANCING. 
THE CHIEF DOES 
NOT EXPECT WILL 
HAVE TO FURLOUGH 
ANYBODY. 
HE SAID WE WILL 
NEED THOSE 
PEOPLE TO COME 
BACK AND BE ON 
THE JOB WHEN 
PASSENGER VOLUME 
RETURNS STARTING 
NEXT YEAR. 
>> EVERY TIME I 
SEE WITH YOUR 
MASK ON WE KNOW 
THE AIRLINES ARE 
REQUIRING THEM. 
DOES THE TSA 
REQUIRE THEM AS 
WELL? 
>> YOU HAVE TO 
HAVE ONE. 
IF YOU DO NOT, 
THEY WILL GIVE 
YOU A MASK TO 
WEAR IN IT IS AN 
ABSOLUTE 
REQUIREMENT. 
AIRLINES AND 
AIRPORTS ALSO 
REQUIRING MASKS. 
IF YOU INSIST ON 
WALKING THROUGH 
THE AIRPORT 
WITHOUT ONE, THE 
AIRPORT POLICE 
MAY VERY WELL 
ESCORT YOU OUT. 
>>> IF YOU ARE 
NOT FLYING BUT 
PLANNING TO HIT

SAFE WHILE YOU

DINING. 
A LOT OF PEOPLE 
WILL BE HITTING 
THE ROADS. 
THERE ARE FOUR 
QUESTIONS YOU 
SHOULD HAVE 
ANSWERS TO. 
>> YOU WANT TO 
KNOW IF WHERE 
YOU'RE GOING TO 
IS A CORONAVIRUS 
HOTSPOT. 
WHEN YOU COME 
HOME, WHO ARE 
YOU COMING HOME 
TO. 
SOMEONE 
VULNERABLE? 
ALSO, DO YOU 
HAVE A PLAN FOR 
WHAT HAPPENS IF 
YOU GET AND IF 
YOU HAVE TO 
QUARANTINE. 
>> A LOT OF 
PEOPLE THINKING 
ABOUT RENTING A 
CAR BUT NOT SURE 
IF IT IS SAFE. 
>> NOTHING HAS 
ZERO RISK REALLY 
BUT WE RECENTLY 
RENTED A CAR TO 
DRIVE TO BOSTON. 
I SWAPPED 
EVERYTHING, THE 
STEERING WELL, 
THE SEATBELT, 
THE HANDLES, 
NOTHING CAME 
BACK WITH ANY 
TRACES OF 
CORONAVIRUS. 
THE CDC SAYS THE 
RISK OF 
TRANSMISSION OF 
SERVICES, 
SERVICES IS LOW. 
>> ON THE ROAD 
LAST MONTH OUR 
PLAN WAS NOT TO 
STOP. 
WHAT DO YOU DO 
AT THE GAS PUMP. 
>> THE 
CORONAVIRUS IS 
FRAGILE IT IS 
UNLIKELY TO 
SURVIVE ON 
SURFACES OUTSIDE 
FOR LONG. 
WASH YOUR HANDS 
WITH SOAP AND 
WATER AFTER YOU 
PUMP YOUR GAS. 
PAY AT THE PUMP. 
>> THE KIDS IN 
THE BACK OF THE 
CAR AND MOM AND 
DAD HAVE TO GO 
TO THE BATHROOM. 
>> GAS STATION 
BATHROOMS ARE 
YOUR BEST OPTION.
AAA SAYS THAT IS 
BECAUSE THEY ARE 
MOST LIKELY TO 
BE FREE AND 
ACCEPTABLE. 
GROCERY STORE IS 
ANOTHER OPTION. 
IF THERE IS A 
LID CLOSE IT IF 
NOT, OPEN THE 
STALL DOOR, USER 
FOOT TO FLUSH AND
WASH HER HANDS. 
DO NOT THE HAND 
DRYERS BECAUSE 
THEY KICK A BEAR 
AND PARTICLES. 
AIR DRY IF THERE 
ARE NO PAPER 
TOWELS.

OF SURPRISES.

WHAT YOU ARE 
DOING IS GETTING 
AN INFECTED 
PERSON AND 
PUTTING THEM 
BACK IN THE

>> AT THE 
UNIVERSITY OF 
MIAMI, THE

SOUTH CAROLINA 
HAS TOUTED ITS

BUT NOW, AS MORE

THIS IS EXACTLY

THEY ARE UNABLE

QUICKLY. 
THE UNIVERSITY 
OF SOUTH

THE PRIORITY IS 
HEALTH AND 
SAFETY OF 
STUDENTS, 
FACULTY AND 
STAFF. 
THEY TEMPORARILY 
STOPPED SALIVA 
TESTING BECAUSE 
A KEY OFFER GOT 
SICK. 
IT IS IMPORTANT 
TO KNOW EVEN AT 
UNIVERSITIES 
WHERE THERE IS 
MASSIVE AMOUNTS 
OF TESTING LIKE 
THE UNIVERSITY 
OF ILLINOIS, 
THEY HAD TO 
INSTITUTE 
UNDERGRADUATE 
LOCKDOWNS FOR AN

THEN, THE 
PANDEMIC, 
QUARANTINE, 
TRAVEL 
RESTRICTIONS AND 
COVID-19 
OUTBREAKS 
BROUGHT THE 
TRAVEL INDUSTRY 
TO A HALT 
LEAVING MILLIONS 
OF PEOPLE TRIED 
TO GET THEIR 
MONEY BACK. 
MANY LEFT HIGH 
AND DRY. 
ONLINE CUSTOMERS 
FLOODED SOCIAL 
MEDIA WITH 
COMPLAINTS. 
>> THEY PUT US 
ON HOLD AND HUNG 
UP OR TRANSFER 
ASSESS AND HUNG 
UP. 
>> THIS IS MY 
CORRESPONDENCE 
TRYING TO 
RESOLVE THIS AND 
GET MY MONEY 
BACK. 
I THOUGHT I 
WOULD GET A 
REFUND WITHIN 24 
TO 48 HOURS AND 
THAT WAS AUGUST 
8. 
>> I SPENT MORE 
THAN 40 HOURS 
TRYING TO GET A 
REFUND. 
>> I CONTACTED 
THE AIRLINE AND 
THEY DIRECTED ME 
BACK TO THE 
ONLINE RETAILER. 
>> THE BETTER 
BUSINESS BUREAU 
SAID CUSTOMER 
COMPLAINTS AND 
NEGATIVE REVIEWS 
HAVE JUMPED FROM 
500 A MONTH TO 
MORE THAN 2000 
DURING THE 
PANDEMIC. 
>> THE TRAVEL 
INDUSTRY HAS 
NEVER BEEN GOOD 
ABOUT OFFERING 
PROMPT REFUNDS 
BUT THEY ARE 
GETTING WORSE. 
>> A CONSUMER 
ADVOCATE AND 
TRAVEL EXPERT. 
WHAT ARE THE 
REASON BEHIND 
THESE DELAYS? 
>> YOU ARE 
DEALING WITH AN 
INTERMEDIARY AND 
THAT COMPLICATES 
THINGS. 
SOMETIMES THEY 
HAVE TO REFUND 
THE TRAVEL AGENCY
AND THE TRAVEL 
AGENCY WILL HAVE 
TO REFUND YOU 
AND THAT SLOWS 
THINGS DOWN AND 
THAT IS TAKING 
MONTHS. 
>> THE TRAVEL 
INDUSTRY AS A 
WHOLE WAS SLOW 
TO ADOPT 
TECHNOLOGY THAT 
COULD'VE 
PREVENTED 
CUSTOMER 
HEADACHES. 
HE SAYS THE 
TRAVEL SITES ARE 
NOT ALL TO BLAME.
OFTEN THEY 
CANNOT ISSUE 
REFUNDS UNTIL 
THE EARLY, HOTEL 
OR RENTAL 
COMPANY REFUNDS 
THEM. 
IN A STATEMENT 
TO US, THEY 
ACKNOWLEDGED THE 
CHALLENGES THEY 
FACE IN TRYING 
TO MEET CUSTOMER 
CANCELLATION 
REQUEST. 
DURING THE TIME 
THE CUSTOMERS 
WERE ATTEMPTING 
TO REACH OUR 
CALL CENTERS WE 
WERE 
EXPERIENCING 
HIGHER CALL 
VOLUMES THAN 
EVER BEFORE WHICH
MADE IT 
INCREDIBLY 
DIFFICULT FOR 
COLLEGE TO REACH 
AN AGENT QUICKLY.
AS A RESULT, WE 
HAVE ADAPTED AND 
AUTOMATED AS MUCH
AS WE CAN. 
PRICELINE WROTE 
PRICELINE DOES 
NOT HOLD A 
CUSTOMER MONEY 
FOR ANY LENGTH 
OF TIME. 
ANY NORMAL 
REFUND SITUATION 
THE AIRLINE 
SINCE THE MONEY 
BACK TO US WHICH 
WE IMMEDIATELY 
PASS ALONG TO 
THE CUSTOMER. 
WE ARE STILL 
WAITING FOR THE 
PAYMENT TO BE 
RELEASED BY THE 
AIRLINE. 
WHAT IS YOUR 
ADVICE. 
>> YOU GET A GOOD
PRICE COMPARISON
. 
>> ONE TIP, 
EMAILS LISTED ON 
THE WEBSITE THAT 
COULD GET YOUR 
CASE STRAIGHT TO 
THE TOP. 
>> FIND THE 
EMAIL ADDRESS OF 
AN EXECUTIVE AND 
EMAIL THEM SEND 
THEM A NICE NOTE 
TELLING THEM 
WHAT IS 
HAPPENING. 
>> AFTER WE 
CALLED TO ASK 
ABOUT THE 
CUSTOMER 
FEATURED IN THE 
STORY ALL THREE 
SITES SAID THEY 
WILL BE REFUNDED 
OR PROVIDED 
VOUCHERS. 
IF YOU 
ABSOLUTELY HAVE 
TO TRAVEL THE 
BEST THING TO DO 
IS TO TRY TO 
BOOK DIRECTLY 
WITH THE HOTEL 
OR RENTAL CAR 
COMPANY OR 
AIRLINE. 
IF SOMETHING 
COMES UP IT IS 
EASIER TO CANCEL 
DIRECTLY WITH 
THEM. 
WE DID SPEAK 
WITH CUSTOMERS 
WHO THOUGHT THEY 
WERE ENTITLED TO 
A REFUND BUT, IT 
TURNED OUT THEY 
WEREN'T. 
>> WHAT IF YOU 
FIND A REALLY 
GOOD DEAL. 
>> THEY ARE FULL 
OF GREAT TOOLS 
FOR COMPARING 
BETWEEN 
DIFFERENT 
COMPANIES. 
I LIKE TO TAKE A 
PICTURE IF YOU 
FIND A GREAT 
DEAL THEN CALL 
THE HOTEL OR 
AIRLINE DIRECTLY 
AND SEE IF THEY 
WILL MATCH IT. 
>> WHAT ABOUT 
CUSTOMERS 
WAITING FOR A 
REFUND. 
>> DON'T GET ME 
STARTED, WHEN WE 
ARE CHANGING OUR 
PLANS BECAUSE 
COVID-19 KEPT 
GETTING WORSE, I 
LOST MONEY. 
>> DIFFERENT 
HOTSPOTS KEPT 
POPPING UP AND 
YOU HOPE THE 
AIRLINES WOULD BE
FLEXIBLE. 
USING SOCIAL

ESCALATE YOUR 
COMPLAINT. 
BE HONEST,

OF AMERICANS WHO 
SAID THEY WOULD 
GET THE VACCINE. 
WITH 22% SAYING 
THEY WOULD NOT. 
32% WERE NOT 
SURE. 
DRUG

IS UNLIKELY MORE

MORE MONTHS OF 
UNCERTAINTY AND 
SUFFERING.

CONTEMPORARY 
CONSERVATIVE 
THOUGHTS.

NATIONAL REVIEW 
WROTE WHAT DO WE 
AS AMERICAN 
CONSERVATIVES 
WANT TO 
CONSERVE. 
THE ANSWER IS 
THE PILLARS OF 
AMERICAN 
EXCEPTIONALISM. 
IT IS FOR YOUR, 
MORE 
INDIVIDUALISTIC, 
MORE DEMOCRATIC 
AND MORE 
DEMOCRATIC THAN 
ANY NATION ON 
EARTH. 
BUT ARE WE 
ACTUALLY MORE 
INDIVIDUALISTIC?

IT IS SIMPLE IT 
IS NOT

HAS WRITTEN 
EXTENSIVELY. 
HIS CENTRAL 
MESSAGE WAS THAT 
OUR NATIONAL 
STORY IS NOT THAT
STRAIGHTFORWARD. 
NOT ONE SPECIFIC 
CLEAN NARRATIVE. 
>> NO ONE LIKES 
THE REAL 
AMERICAN HISTORY 
BECAUSE IT IS 
NOT CONVENIENT.

DOES A GOOD 
CITIZEN FALL THE

U.S. RESPONDENTS 
WERE LESS LIKELY 
TO FOLLOW THEIR 
CONSCIENCE BUT 
PEOPLE IN 
FRANCE, 
SWITZERLAND AND 
NINE OTHER 
NATIONS WERE. 
SHOULD PEOPLE 
SUPPORT THE 
COUNTRY EVEN IF 
IT IS WRONG?

MORE LIKELY TO

WAY I ALWAYS 
THINK OF AMERICA.
I THINK IT 
PASSES THROUGH 
OUR CULTURAL DNA 
OVER CENTURIES. 
THAT WHEN WE 
DEFINE OURSELVES 
IT IS OFTEN AS 
PART OF THE 
GROUP JOINING 
AND WE WANT THAT 
GROUP TO BE ABLE 
TO OPERATE. MY 
MAIN ARGUMENT IS 
THE AMERICAN 
DREAM CANNOT BE 
UNDERSTOOD AS 
JUST AN 
FINANCIAL 
ARGUMENT BUT A 
SOCIAL ARGUMENT.

HISTORY IS 
DEFINED BY 
RUGGED 
INDEPENDENCE.

WASN'T UNTIL THE

LEFT, LATER ON 
THE RIGHT.

PRESS AND THEY 
WON'T BE QUITE 
AS GENEROUS. 
THAT'S OKAY. 
FOR THE MOST 
PART I THINK 
WE'VE HELPED, IN 
EVERY CASE WE 
HAVE HELPED 
EVERY GOVERNOR. 
WE HAVE HELPED 
THEM A LOT. 
SOME OF THEM WE 
HAVE MADE LOOK 
REALLY GOOD. 
SOME OF THEM 
HAVE DONE A 
GREAT JOB, AND 
OTHERS HAVEN'T. 
AS A COUNTRY, WE 
HAVE REALLY DONE 
A TERRIFIC JOB. 
I WANT TO THANK 
VICE PRESIDENT 
PENCE, BUT I 
WON'T THINK TOO 
MUCH RIGHT NOW. 
WE'D LIKE TO GET 
THE JOB FINISHED 
FAST. 
THE VACCINES ARE 
GOING TO COME 
OUT SOON AND THE 
THERAPEUTICS ARE 
CONTINUING. 
THAT'S WHY WE 
ARE HAVING THE 
KIND OF NUMBERS 
WE HAVE. 
I'LL BE DOING A 
NEWS CONFERENCE 
TODAY AT 5:00. 
I'LL SEE YOU 
THERE. 
>> DO YOU NEED 
TO APOLOGIZE? 
>> IT'S A FAKE 
STORY. 
WRITTEN BY A 
MAGAZINE THAT 
WAS PROBABLY NOT 
GOING TO BE 
AROUND MUCH 
LONGER. 
IT WAS A TOTALLY 
FAKE STORY. 
THAT WAS 
CONFIRMED BY 
MANY PEOPLE WHO 
WERE ACTUALLY 
THERE. 
IT WAS A 
TERRIBLE THING 
THAT SOMEBODY 
COULD SAY THE 
KIND OF THINGS. 
ESPECIALLY TO 
ME. 
I'VE DONE MORE 
FOR THE MILITARY 
THAN ALMOST 
ANYBODY ELSE YOU 
LOOK AT HOW THE 
VA IS DOING. 
IS DOING 
INCREDIBLY WELL. 
WE GOT ALL SORTS 
OF THINGS DONE 
FROM 
ACCOUNTABILITY 
TO VETERANS 
TRAYS, TO 
EVERYTHING. 
IT HAS GOT RIGHT 
NOW THE HIGHEST 
APPROVAL RATING 
THAT IT HAS EVER 
HAD. 
91% APPROVAL 
RATING. 
IT HAS NEVER 
BEEN ANYWHERE 
CLOSE TO THAT. 
NOBODY HAS DONE 
WHAT I HAVE DONE.
THAT INCLUDES 
SALARY 
INCREASES. 
IT REALLY 
INCLUDES THE 
REBUILDING OF 
OUR MILITARY. 
AS YOU KNOW, 
WHEN I CAN HEAR 
OUR MILITARY WAS 
TOTALLY 
DEPLETED. 
WE SPENT ALMOST 
$2.5 TRILLION. 
MUCH MORE THAN 
YOU SPENT ON 
YOUR MILITARY I 
THINK. 
SLIGHTLY MORE. 
$2.5 TRILLION. 
ALL MADE IN THE 
USA. 
F-35'S. 
BRAND-NEW JETS 
AND ROCKETS AND 
MISSILES. 
HOPE TO GOD WE 
NEVER HAVE TO 
USE IT, BUT OUR 
NUCLEAR IS NOW 
IN EXTRAORDINARY 
SHAPE. 
INCLUDING NEW 
WEAPONS. 
I JUST HOPE WE 
NEVER HAVE TO 
USE THAT. 
THAT'S A LEVEL 
OF POWER THAT 
YOU DON'T EVEN 
WANT TO TALK 
ABOUT. 
YOU DON'T EVEN 
WANT TO HEAR 
ABOUT IT. 
IT'S A FAKE 
STORY, AND IT IS 
A DISGRACE THAT 
THEY ARE ALLOWED 
TO DO. 
VERY 
INTERESTING, AND 
I HATE TO BRING 
UP THIS. 
JOHN BOLTON, NO 
FRIEND OF MINE, 
I DIDN'T KNOW 
TOO MUCH ABOUT 
WHAT HE WAS 
DOING. 
HE DIDN'T DO A 
GOOD JOB. 
HE WROTE A BOOK. 
HE TALKS ABOUT 
THIS INCIDENT. 
HE DOESN'T 
MENTION IT. 
FRANKLY A LOT OF 
REPORTERS, EVEN 
SOME PRETTY BAD 
ONES, THEY READ 
THAT AND THAT 
WAS THE END OF 
THE STORY. 
THERE IS NOBODY 
THAT CONSIDERS 
THE MILITARY, 
AND ESPECIALLY 
PEOPLE THAT HAVE 
GIVEN THEIR 
LIVES IN THE 
MILITARY, TO ME 
THEY ARE HEROES. 
THEY ARE HEROES. 
IT IS EVEN HARD 
TO BELIEVE HOW 
THEY CAN DO IT. 
I SAY THAT SO 
THE LEVEL OF 
BRAVERY. 
TO ME, THEY ARE 
ABSOLUTE HEROES. 
THANK YOU VERY 
MUCH EVERYBODY. 
[ APPLAUSE ] 
>>> YOU'RE 
WATCHING NBC 
NEWS NOW. 
WE'VE GOT SOME 
BREAKING NEWS. 
>> IF THEY DO GO 
BACK TO THEIR 
JOBS, THEY WANT 
TO MAKE SURE 
THAT THEY ARE 
PROTECTED. 
>> IT'S NEWS 
MADE FOR YOUR 
STREAMING WORLD. 
LIVE WEEKDAYS 
STARTING AT 6:00 
A.M. 
EASTERN. 
>>> AMONG THE  
>>> 
PHARMACEUTICAL 
COMPANIES SAY 
THEY ARE MAKING 
PROGRESS. 
AMERICANS APPEAR 
TO BE SKEPTICAL. 
A NEW POLL FINDS 
70% OF PEOPLE 
THINK THE 
VACCINE IS BEING 
DRIVEN MORE BY 
POLITICS THAN 
SCIENCE. 
>> Reporter: 
COULD IT BE AN 
OCTOBER 
SURPRISE? 
THE HEAD OF 
VACCINE MAKER 
PFIZER SAYS 
RESULTS COULD BE 
IN BY THE END OF 
NEXT MONTH. 
THAT DOESN'T 
MEAN THE VACCINE 
WILL BE READY 
FOR THE GENERAL 
PUBLIC. 
>> WE WILL BE 
THE ONLY ONE. 
>> Reporter: DR. 
ANTHONY FAUCI 
SAYS HE HAS 
CONFIDENCE IN 
THE INTEGRITY OF 
FDA SCIENTISTS, 
AND TIMING OF 
RESULTS FROM 
PHASE THREE 
TRIALS WILL 
DEPEND ON REAL-
WORLD CONDITIONS.
>> IF YOU HAVE 
THE TRIALS BEING 
TAKING PLACE IN 
AN AREA THAT 
HAPPENS TO HAVE 
A LOT OF 
INFECTIONS, YOU 
MAY GET AN 
ANSWER SOONER 
THAN YOU WOULD 
HAVE PROJECTED. 
BECAUSE THE 
ANSWER IS EVENT 
DRIVEN. 
>> Reporter: IN 
OTHER WORDS, 
TRIALS AND 
HOTSPOTS MAY 
YIELD QUICKER 
RESULTS. 
BUT WITH SOME 
AMERICANS 
RESISTING EVEN 
DECADES-OLD 
VACCINES, IT'S 
NOT CLEAR HOW 
QUICKLY THE 
PUBLIC WOULD 
EMBRACE A BRAND-
NEW DRUG. 
AN NBC NEWS 
SURVEY POLL 
FOUND JUST 44% 
OF AMERICANS WHO 
SAID THEY WOULD 
GET THE VACCINE. 
WITH 22% SAYING 
THEY WOULD NOT. 
32% WEREN'T SURE.
DRUG 
MANUFACTURERS 
BOWED POLITICS 
WOULD NOT 
INFLUENCE THE 
VACCINE EFFORTS. 
THE CDC HAS TOLD 
STATE GOVERNORS 
TO PREPARE TO 
DISTRIBUTE 
MILLIONS OF 
VACCINE DOSES AS 
SOON AS NOVEMBER 
1st. 
>> I DON'T NEED 
TO HAVE THEM 
ANNOUNCED ON 
NOVEMBER 4th. 
LADIES AND 
GENTLEMEN, WE 
FOUND A VACCINE. 
IT'S PERFECT. 
>> WATCHING WHAT 
HAPPENED WITH 
HYDROXYCHLOROQUINE,
ONE WORRIES THAT 
THERE WOULD BE 
POLITICAL 
INFLUENCE ON THE 
RELEASE OF THIS 
VACCINE. 
>> Reporter: THE 
CHIEF SCIENTIFIC 
ADVISER TO THE 
TRUMP 
ADMINISTRATION'S 
VACCINE EFFORT 
SAID HE WOULD 
RESIGN IF THERE 
IS UNDUE 
INTERFERENCE IN 
THIS PROCESS. 
EVEN WITH FAST-
TRACK APPROVAL, 
EXPERTS SAY IT'S 
UNLIKELY MORE 
THAN A SMALL 
PERCENTAGE OF 
AMERICANS COULD 
BE VACCINATED 
BEFORE 2021. 
LEAVING MORE 
MONTHS OF 
UNCERTAINTY, AND 
SUFFERING. 
WHILE PROGRESS 
IS BEING MADE ON 
THE VACCINE, 
OFFICIALS IN 
THIS COUNTRY 
DON'T BELIEVE 
ONE WILL BE 
AVAILABLE UNTIL 
THE END OF THIS 
YEAR OR EARLY 
NEXT YEAR. 
THE W.H.O. 
SAID THEY DON'T 
BELIEVE A 
VACCINE WILL BE 
READY UNTIL THE 
MIDDLE OF NEXT 
YEAR. 
>> THANK YOU. 
>>> TURNING OUT 
TO AN 
UNBELIEVABLE 
STORY OUT OF 
BEIRUT WHERE A 
MONTH AFTER A 
MASSIVE 
EXPLOSION ROCKED 
THE CITY, SEARCH 
AND RESCUE TEAMS 
NOW HAVE 
DETECTED SIGNS 
OF LIFE IN THE 
RUBBLE. 
TODAY, A SENIOR 
INTERNATIONAL 
CORRESPONDENT 
HAS THE VERY 
LATEST FOR US. 
>> Reporter: 
GOOD MORNING. 
RIGHT NOW IN 
BEIRUT, THEY ARE 
DIGGING THROUGH 
CONCRETE WALLS 
TO TRY TO GET TO 
A PLACE WHERE A 
RESCUE DOG 
SENSED SIGNS OF 
LIFE. 
A THERMAL CAMERA 
SAW WHAT MAY BE 
TWO PEOPLE. 
ONE, SMALLER 
THAN THE OTHER, 
MAYBE A CHILD. 
THE RESCUE IN 
THE RUBBLE AND 
DEBRIS RESUMED 
EARLY THIS 
MORNING. 
CAREFULLY 
SIFTING AND 
DIGGING, HOPING 
FOR A MIRACLE. 
THERMAL IMAGING 
CAMERAS 
DETECTING 
PERHAPS, TWO 
WARM BODIES, AND 
BREATHING. 
THE TEAM OF 
RESCUERS IS 
SMALL BECAUSE 
THE ENTIRE 
BUILDING COULD 
COLLAPSE. 
COULD ANYONE 
HAVE SURVIVED 
FOR 30 DAYS 
AFTER THIS? 
MONTHS AGO, A 
MASSIVE EXPLOSION
DESTROYED MUCH 
OF BEIRUT'S 
DOWNTOWN COASTAL 
AREA WHERE TONS 
OF HIGHLY 
EXPLOSIVE 
AMMONIUM NITRATE 
HAD BEEN STORED 
FOR YEARS. 
191 PEOPLE WERE 
KILLED, AND 
AROUND 6000 
INJURED. 
NOW, THIS RESCUE 
OPERATION 
GRIPPING A 
NATION STILL 
REELING. 
THERE IS A 
POSSIBILITY OF 
LIFE ONE RESCUER 
SAYING OVERNIGHT.
A CROWD OF 
ONLOOKERS WERE 
ASKED FOR 
SILENCE SO 
RESCUERS COULD 
LISTEN. 
THIS MORNING, 
GATHERING AGAIN 
TO WATCH THE 
DESPERATE SEARCH.
>> Translator: 
I'M WATCHING HOW 
THEY ARE 
REMOVING ONE 
STONE AT A TIME. 
MY STOMACH IS 
CHURNING. 
I DON'T KNOW 
WHAT IT IS. 
HOPE, CRAZINESS, 
OR WHATEVER. 
>> Reporter: 
HOPING BEYOND 
HOPE FOR GOOD 
NEWS. 
SO MUCH TRAGEDY. 
IT IS A RACE 
AGAINST TIME 
THAT EVERYBODY 
RECOGNIZES COULD 
COME TO NOTHING 
REALLY. 
PEOPLE ON THE 
GROUND TELL US 
THAT A SCAN THIS 
MORNING FOUND NO 
SIGNS OF LIFE. 
OTHERS SAY THAT 
SAME SCAN 
REGISTERED A 
SLOWING 
HEARTBEAT. 
WILLIE, ANOTHER 
SCAN IS PLANNED 
FOR LATER TODAY. 
EVERYONE WILL BE 
CROSSING THEIR 
FINGERS AND 
PRAYING. 
TOO WE WILL HANG 
ONTO THOSE 
SLIVERS OF HOPE. 
THANK YOU SO 
MUCH. 
>>> WALKING INTO 
ANY AIRPORT 
THESE DAYS CAN 
SEEM EERIE. 
THE PANDEMIC HAS 
LEFT CONCOURSES, 
TICKET COUNTERS, 
AND TSA 
CHECKPOINTS 
VIRTUALLY EMPTY. 
THE LOW POINT 
CAME ON APRIL 
14th WHEN ONLY 
87,000 PASSENGERS
FLEW NATIONWIDE. 
DOWN FROM 2 1/2 
MILLION FLYING 
EACH DAY BEFORE 
THE PANDEMIC. 
PASSENGERS 
SLOWLY RETURNED 
OVER THE SUMMER. 
TODAY IS 
EXPECTED TO BE 
THE BUSIEST DAY 
YET, WITH 
900,000 
PASSENGERS 
NATIONWIDE. 
>> STAND RIGHT 
HERE. 
>> Reporter: 
CHECKPOINTS NOW 
LOOK A BIT 
DIFFERENT. 
PLEXIGLAS TWO 
SEPARATE OFFICES 
AND PASSENGERS. 
STICKERS ON THE 
FLOOR TO KEEP 
PASSENGERS 6 
FEET APART. 
NEW SELF-SERVICE 
KIOSKS THAT 
CHECK YOUR I.D., 
THEN MATCH IT TO 
YOUR AIRLINE 
TICKET RECORD. 
TSA CHIEF 
ADMIRAL DAVID 
PETOSKEY. 
TOO YOU WALK UP, 
YOU TAKE YOUR 
CREDENTIAL, AND 
JUST INSERTED 
INTO THE MACHINE.
THEY WILL ASK 
YOU TO BRING 
YOUR MASK DOWN.  
THE MACHINE WILL 
CAPTURE AN 
IMAGE. 
YOU CAN SEE IT 
RIGHT THERE ON 
THE SCREEN. 
MY CREDENTIAL 
COMES OUT, I 
TAKE IT, NO 
TOUCH BETWEEN 
THE OFFICER AND 
ME. 
>> Reporter: 
ALSO ROLLING 
OUT, NEW SOFTWARE
AND THE FULL 
BODY SCANNERS 
THAT REDUCES THE 
NEED FOR 
PATDOWNS. 
NEW 
ANTIMICROBIAL 
BINS, AND MORE 
CT SCANNERS THAT 
ALLOW OFFICERS 
TO MANIPULATE 
IMAGES OF WHAT'S 
INSIDE YOUR 
CARRY-ON BAGS TO 
VERIFY IT IS NOT 
A THREAT. 
REDUCING THE 
NEED TO DO BAG 
CHECKS. 
IF A TSA OFFICER 
IS GOING TO 
REACH INTO 
SOMEBODY IS 
BACK, AND THEN 
THEY REACH INTO 
MY BAG, ARE THEY 
USING THE SAME 
GLOVES? 
>> THEY WILL 
EITHER CHANGE 
THE GLOVES OUT. 
IF YOU ASKED 
THEM TO CHANGE 
THE GLOVES THEY 
WILL. 
OR, THEY WILL 
SANITIZE THE 
GLOVES. 
>> Reporter: 
OFFICERS MUST 
ALSO CHANGE 
GLOVES FOR 
EVERYBODY CHECK. 
AND ANYWAY, IS 
SECURITY BEING 
COMPROMISED 
BECAUSE OF US 
WEARING MASK,  
AND BECAUSE OF 
THE PLEXIGLAS? 
>> EVERY SINGLE 
ONE OF THESE NEW 
TECHNOLOGY 
ADVANCEMENTS 
THAT WE HAVE, 
FIRST AND 
FOREMOST 
IMPROVES 
SECURITY. 
IT IMPROVES 
SECURITY A LOT. 
SECONDARILY, AS 
WE LOOK AT 
TECHNOLOGY, 
EVERYTHING WE 
LOOK AT, NOT 
ONLY WILL IT 
IMPROVE SECURITY,
BUT ALSO THE 
PASSENGER 
EXPERIENCE. 
>> Reporter: 
DESPITE THE 
PANDEMIC, AND I 
EXPECTED 
DEVELOPMENT. 
PASSENGER DID 
ALL IS DOWN. 
80% OF THEM ARE 
LOADED. 
MOST PASSENGERS 
CLAIM THEY 
SIMPLY FORGOT 
THE GUN WAS IN 
THE BAG. 
THE FIRST 
OFFENSE COMES 
WITH A FEDERAL 
FINE OF UP TO 
$4100 PLUS THE 
POSSIBILITY OF 
LOCAL CRIMINAL 
CHARGES. 
NOT A GOOD THING 
TO FORGET. 
YOU MAY RECALL 
BEFORE THE 
PANDEMIC WE WERE 
TALKING ABOUT 
THE TSA BEING 
SHORT STAFFED, 
AND MAYBE THEY 
HAD HIGH 
TURNOVER. 
THAT IS NOT A 
PROBLEM NOW. 
NOW THEY HAVE 
TOO MANY OFFICES.
THEY ARE 
SPREADING THEM 
OUT TO ENSURE 
THEY HAVE GOOD 
SOCIAL 
DISTANCING. 
THE CHIEF SAID 
HE DOES NOT 
EXPECT TO HAVE 
TO FURLOUGH 
ANYBODY. 
HE SAID WE ARE 
GOING TO NEED 
THOSE PEOPLE TO 
COME BACK ON THE 
JOB WHEN 
PASSENGER VOLUME 
RETURNS. 
HE THINKS 
SOMETIMES 
STARTING NEXT 
YEAR. 
BACK TO YOU. 
>> I SEE YOU 
WITH YOUR MASK 
ON THERE.  
THE AIRLINES WE 
KNOW ARE 
REQUIRING THEM ON
BOARD. 
WHAT ABOUT THE 
TSA? 
>> Reporter: YOU 
HAVE GOT TO HAVE 
ONE. 
IF YOU DON'T 
HAVE ONE, THEY 
WILL GIVE YOU A 
MASK TO WEAR.  
IT'S AN ABSOLUTE 
REQUIREMENT. 
THE AIRLINES, 
THE AIRPORTS 
ALSO REQUIRING 
MASKS.  
IF YOU SHOW UP 
WITHOUT ONE AND 
YOU INSIST ON 
WALKING THROUGH 
THE AIRPORT 
WITHOUT A MASK,  
THE AIRPORT 
POLICE MAY VERY 
WELL ESCORT 
YACHTS. 
>> TOM COSTELLO, 
THANK YOU VERY 
MUCH. 
>>> IF YOU ARE 
NOT FLYING, BUT 
PLAN TO HIT THE 
ROAD THIS LABOR 
DAY WEEKEND, 
POSSIBLY 
STOPPING AT A 
RESTAURANT OR TWO
, YOU WANT TO 
PAY ATTENTION TO 
THIS. 
>> Reporter: 
VICKI WREN IS 
HERE WITH JUST 
TO KEEP YOU AND 
YOUR FAMILY SAFE 
WHILE YOU ARE 
DRIVING OR 
DINING. 
GOOD MORNING TO 
YOU. 
A LOT OF PEOPLE 
WILL BE HITTING 
THE ROADS. 
FOR YOU HEAD 
OUT, THERE ARE 
FOUR QUESTIONS 
YOU SHOULD HAVE 
ANSWERS TO. 
>> YOU WANT TO 
KNOW WHERE 
YOU'RE GOING. 
IS IT A 
CORONAVIRUS 
HOTSPOT? 
WHEN YOU COME 
HOME, WHO ARE 
YOU COMING HOME 
TOO? 
SOMEONE THAT MAY 
BE MORE 
VULNERABLE? 
DO YOU HAVE A 
PLAN FOR WHAT 
HAPPENS IF YOU 
GET SICK? 
WILL YOU HAVE TO 
QUARANTINE WHEN 
YOU COME BACK? 
TOO THESE 
QUESTIONS ARE 
ALSO TRICKY FOR 
FAMILIES. 
A LOT OF PEOPLE 
THINK ABOUT 
RENTING A CAR 
BUT THEY ARE NOT 
SURE IF IT IS 
SAFE. 
>> Reporter: 
NOTHING IS ZERO 
RISK, BUT WE 
RECENTLY RENTED 
A CAR AND I WILL 
SAY, WE HAD 
THESE SWABS WITH 
THE SECOND TEST 
SURFACES. 
I SWABBED 
EVERYTHING. 
THE STEERING 
WHEEL, THE 
SEATBELTS, THE 
HANDLES. 
NOTHING CAME 
BACK WITH ANY 
TRACES OF 
CORONAVIRUS. 
THAT IS 
REASSURING. 
ALSO THE CDC 
SAYS THE RISK OF 
TRANSMISSION IS 
VERY LOW. 
IT DOESN'T HURT 
SO TO WIPE IT 
DOWN WITH THOSE 
DISINFECTANT 
WIPES. 
>> WE WERE ON 
THE ROAD LAST 
MONTH AND OUR 
PLAN WAS NOT TO 
STOP. 
WHAT DO YOU DO 
WHEN YOU GET TO 
THE GAS PUMP? 
>> Reporter: GET 
OUTSIDE. 
THE CORONAVIRUS 
IS VERY FRAGILE. 
IT IS UNLIKELY 
TO STAY ALIVE ON 
SURFACES OUTSIDE 
FOR VERY LONG. 
YOU'LL WANT TO 
WASH YOUR HANDS 
WITH SOAP AND 
WATER AFTER YOU 
PUMP YOUR GAS. 
THEY AT THE PUMP 
IF YOU CAN. 
>> DIFFERENT 
KIND OF PITSTOP. 
THE KIDS ARE IN 
THE BACK OF THE 
CAR. 
I HAVE TO GO TO 
THE BATHROOM. 
WHAT DO YOU DO 
ABOUT A PUBLIC 
RESTROOM? 
>> Reporter: GAS 
STATION 
BATHROOMS ARE 
YOUR BEST 
OPTION. 
NEVER THOUGHT I 
WOULD SAY THAT. 
THAT IS BECAUSE 
THEY ARE MOST 
LIKELY TO BE 
FREE AND 
ACCESSIBLE. 
GROCERY STORES 
ARE ANOTHER 
OPTION YOU MIGHT 
NOT THINK ABOUT. 
IF THERE IS A 
LEAD, CLOSE IT 
BEFORE YOU FLUSH 
IT. 
IF NOT, YOU'RE 
GOING TO WANT TO 
OPEN YOUR STALL 
DOOR, USE YOUR 
FOOT TO FLUSH 
THE TOILET AND 
GET THE HECK OUT 
OF THERE. 
>> A LITTLE 
PILATES. 
>> Reporter: 
EXACTLY. 
USUAL LEGS, USE 
YOUR BODY. 
DON'T USE THOSE 
HAND DRYERS 
BECAUSE THEY 
REALLY KICK UP 
AIR AND 
PARTICLES. 
>> GAS STATION 
BATHROOMS ARE 
YOUR BEST OPTION.
WORDS THAT HAVE 
NEVER BEEN 
UTTERED BEFORE.

PERSISTENT 
THREAT OF A 
HIGHLY

CONSENSUS IS I'M

HOME QUESTIONED 
BY SOME 
PROMINENT PUBLIC 
HEALTH 
OFFICIALS. 
>> WE ARE NOT 
RECOMMENDING 
THAT THEY SENT 
AN INFECTED 
COLLEGE STUDENT 
HOME. 
BECAUSE WHAT YOU 
ARE THEN DOING, 
HE'S YOU ARE 
GETTING THE 
INFECTED PERSON, 
AND PUTTING THEM

ONE OF THEM. 
DOES IT FEEL 
MANAGEABLE TO

IN STATEMENTS TO

ACKNOWLEDGED THE 
CHALLENGES THEY 
FACE IN TRYING

CANCELLATION

EXPEDIA AND 
ORBITZ WROTE IN 
PART, DURING THE 
TIME THESE 
CUSTOMERS WERE 
ATTEMPTING TO 
REACH OUR CALL 
CENTERS, WE WERE 
EXPERIENCING 
HIGHER CALL 
VOLUME THAN WE 
HAVE EVER SEEN 
BEFORE, WHICH 
MADE IT 
INCREDIBLY 
DIFFICULT FOR 
CALLERS TO REACH 
AND AGENT 
QUICKLY. 
AS A RESULT, 
THEY HAVE 
ADAPTED AN 
AUTOMATED AS 
MUCH AS WE CAN. 
PRICELINE WROTE 
IN PART, 
PRICELINE DOES 
NOT HOLD THE 
CUSTOMERS MONEY 
FOR ANY LENGTH 
OF TIME. 
THE AIRLINES DO. 
IN A NORMAL 
REFUND 
SITUATION, THE 
AIRLINE SENDS 
THE FUNDS BACK 
TO US WHICH 
WOULD THEN 
IMMEDIATELY PASS 
ALONG TO THE 
CUSTOMER. 
IN THESE CASES, 
WE ARE STILL

WHAT IS YOUR 
ADVICE WHEN IT 
COMES TO GOING

HERE'S WHAT HAS 
HAPPENED. 
>> Reporter:

NICE REALLY 
WORK. 
AFTER WE CALLED, 
EXPEDIA, ORBITZ, 
AND PRICELINE, 
SAID THEY WILL 
BE REFUNDED OR 
PROVIDED SOME 
VOUCHERS. 
>> I KNOW IS NOT 
A GREAT TIME, 
BUT WHAT IF YOU 
NEED TO TRAVEL? 
>> Reporter: IF 
YOU ABSOLUTELY 
HAVE TO GO 
SOMEWHERE, THE 
BEST THING TO DO 
IS TRY TO BOOK 
DIRECTLY WITH 
THE HOTEL OR 
RENTAL CAR 
COMPANY OR THE 
AIRLINE. 
IF SOMETHING 
COMES UP IT CAN 
BE A LOT EASIER 
TO CANCEL 
DIRECTLY WITH 
THEM. 
YOU'VE GOT TO 
READ THE FINE 
PRINT. 
WE SPOKE WITH 
SOME CUSTOMERS 
WHO THOUGHT THEY 
WERE ENTITLED TO 
A REFUND, BUT IT 
TURNS OUT THEY 
WEREN'T. 
>> WHAT IF YOU 
FIND A REALLY 
GOOD DEAL ON 
SOME OF THOSE 
TRAVEL WEBSITES? 
>> Reporter: 
THERE ARE A 
GREAT TOOL FOR 
COMPARING. 
WHAT I LIKE TO 
DO IS TAKE A 
PICTURE. 
IF YOU FIND A 
GREAT DEAL, CALL 
THE HOTEL OR CAR 
COMPANY 
DIRECTLY. 
SEE IF THEY WILL 
MATCH IT. 
>> THAT'S GOOD. 
WHAT ADVICE DO 
YOU HAVE TWO 
CUSTOMERS 
WAITING FOR 
REFUNDS? 
I HAVE SO MANY. 
ESPECIALLY IN

COVID KEPT 
GETTING WORSE. 
I LOST MONEY. 
>> Reporter:

WHAT YOU HAVE 
GOT TO DO IS 
MAYBE TURN TO 
SOCIAL MEDIA. 
IT IS DIFFICULT 
FOR YOU BECAUSE 
YOU ARE A PUBLIC 
FIGURE. 
FOR THE REST OF 
YOU OUT THERE, 
TWEETING OR 
RESPONDING TO 
COMPANY'S 
FACEBOOK PAGES 
CAN REALLY HELP 
ESCALATE YOUR 
COMPLAINT. 
THE KEY IS TO BE

CONCISE, AND

INCIDENT THAT 
LED TO THE DEATH 
OF A BLACK MAN 
IN ROCHESTER, NY.
PORTIONS OF THE 
BODY CAMERA 
VIDEO WAS JUST 
RELEASED 
YESTERDAY BY THE 
FAMILY. 
BEFORE WE SHOW 
YOU, A WARNING, 
IT IS 
DISTURBING. 
THIS VIDEO FROM 
MARCH SHOWS 
POLICE OFFICERS 
PUTTING A HOOD 
OVER DANIEL. 
BECAUSE HE SAID 
HE HAD COVID. 
THEY THEN 
PRESSED HIS FACE 
INTO THE 
PAVEMENT BEFORE 
HE WENT LIMP. 
THIS IS ONLY A 
PORTION OF THE 
POLICE BODY 
CAMERA VIDEO 
RELEASED PRUDE'S 
FAMILY. 
WE DO NOT KNOW 
WHAT HAPPENED 
BEFORE HAND. 
PRUDE WAS TAKEN 
OFF LIFE SUPPORT 
SEVEN DAYS LATER.
THE POLICE CHIEF 
WON'T COMMENT ON 
THE CAUSE OF 
DEATH AT THIS 
TIME, BECAUSE OF 
TWO ONGOING 
INVESTIGATIONS 
INTO THE CASE 
AND A POTENTIAL 
LAWSUIT. 
NBC NEWS 
CORRESPONDENT 
STEPHANIE GOSS 
JOINED ME NOW. 
STEPHANIE, WHAT 
DO WE KNOW ABOUT 
THE MOMENTS 
LEADING UP TO 
PRUDE'S 
ENCOUNTER WITH 
POLICE? 
>> Reporter: THE 
FIRST THING 
PEOPLE NEED TO 
KNOW IF THIS 
DIDN'T HAPPEN 
JUST LAST WEEK. 
IT HAPPENED 
MONTHS AGO, BACK 
IN MARCH. 
THE DAY WAS 
MARCH 23rd. 
YOU MAY KNOW 
THAT ROCHESTER 
IS IN UPSTATE 
NEW YORK. 
IT IS VERY COLD 
THAT TIME OF 
YEAR IN 
ROCHESTER. 
YOU SEE THIS MAN 
IN THE VIDEO 
RUNNING WITHOUT 
CLOSE, AND BEING 
APPREHENDED BY 
POLICE. 
WHAT WE KNOW IS 
THAT HIS BROTHER 
HAD CALLED 
POLICE FOR HELP. 
SAYING THAT 
DANIEL WAS 
ACTING 
ERRATICALLY. 
WE ALSO WERE 
TOLD BY THE NEW 
YORK TIMES THAT 
A TRUCK DRIVER 
PHONED 911 AS 
WELL SAYING THAT 
THERE WAS A MAN 
RUNNING AROUND 
SAYING HE HAD 
COVID. 
IN THE VIDEO, 
WHICH IS ABOUT 
11 MINUTES LONG, 
AND IS EDITED, 
YOU SEE THE 
POLICE APPREHEND 
DANIEL PRUDE. 
PUT HANDCUFFS ON 
HIM, AND THEN 
PUT THIS HOOD 
OVER HIS HEAD. 
ALSO IMPORTANT 
TO KEEP IN MIND, 
IN MARCH, IN NEW 
YORK, THERE WAS 
AN ENORMOUS 
SPIKE UP 
CORONAVIRUS IN 
THE STATE. 
PARTICULARLY IN 
NEW YORK CITY 
BUT ALSO UPSTATE 
AS WELL. 
OFFICERS 
APPARENTLY 
CONCERNED ABOUT 
COVID. 
AFTER THAT, 
PRUDE IS FORCED 
TO THE GROUND, 
AND THERE IS A 
MOMENT WHERE AN 
OFFICER FOR TWO 
MINUTES HAS HIS 
HAND AROUND 
DANIEL PRUDE'S 
HEAD HOLDING HIM 
DOWN AND ANOTHER 
OFFICER IS 
KNEELING ON HIS 
BACK. 
LATER IN THE 
VIDEO, EMTs, AND 
SOME CPR ON HIM. 
HE IS 
TRANSFERRED TO A 
HOSPITAL WHERE 
HE IS PUT ON 
LIFE SUPPORT AND 
DIED SEVEN DAYS 
LATER. 
WE NOW HAVE A 
COPY OF THE 
MEDICAL 
EXAMINER'S 
REPORT THAT 
CALLS IT A 
HOMICIDE. 
FOR A NUMBER OF 
FACTORS. 
ONE OF THEM IS 
IS FIXATION. 
THE OTHER ONE 
EXCITED 
DELIRIUM. 
IT'S A LITTLE 
UNCLEAR WHAT 
THAT MEANS. 
THE OTHER, 
INTOXICATION BY 
PCP, THAT HE WAS 
UNDER THE 
INFLUENCE OF PCP 
AT THE TIME. 
THE RELEASE OF 
THIS VIDEO, WHAT 
IT SHOWS, 
TRIGGERING A 
VERY HEATED AND 
PASSIONATE 
REACTION FROM 
THE FAMILY. 
HE SAID THEY ARE 
NOW CALLING FOR 
THE ARREST OF 
THESE OFFICES, 
AND FOR MURDER 
CHARGES AGAINST 
THEM. 
YOU ALSO HAVE 
PROTESTS, 
INCLUDING NINE 
ARREST YESTERDAY.
THE ATTORNEY 
GENERAL OF THE 
STATE OF NEW 
YORK IS LOOKING 
INTO THIS. 
SHE CALLS IT A 
TRAGEDY AND THAT 
THAT THEY WILL 
BE INVESTIGATING 
IT LIKE THEY 
INVESTIGATE 
EVERYTHING. 
THOROUGHLY. 
IF CHARGES ARE 
NECESSARY, THERE 
WILL BE CHARGES. 
SAVANNA? 
>> I KNOW THAT 
YOU MENTIONED 
THIS, BUT LET'S 
TALK A LITTLE 
BIT MORE ABOUT 
THAT HOOD. 
WE KNOW HIS HEAD 
WAS COVERED. 
WHAT MORE DO WE 
KNOW ABOUT THAT? 
>> Reporter: 
IT'S A FAIRLY 
CONTROVERSIAL 
TACTIC THAT 
POLICE SOMETIMES 
USE. 
THEY ARE HAVING 
PROBLEMS WITH IT 
IN THE PAST. 
IN THE CASE 
WHERE THE HOOD 
BEING PUT ON, 
OFFICERS HAD 
CONCERNS ABOUT 
CORONAVIRUS. 
THAT WOULD BE A 
BIG PART OF THIS 
INVESTIGATION. 
WHETHER THAT 
NEEDED TO BE PUT 
ON OR NOT PUT ON 
WILL CERTAINLY 
BE PART OF THIS. 
ALSO, A BIG PART 
OF THIS WILL BE 
HOW HE WAS 
ARRESTED. 
HOW HE WAS 
DETAINED. 
ONE OF THE 
THINGS THAT'S 
IMPORTANT TO 
POINT OUT WITH 
THESE VIDEOS IS 
THAT WHILE THEY 
DO SHOW A GOOD 
PORTION OF THE 
INCIDENT, THEY 
DON'T OFTEN HAVE 
ALL THE CONTEXT 
OF WHAT WENT ON. 
THAT'S WHY THEY 
HAVE TO BE 
INVESTIGATED. 
THAT'S WHY 
SOMETIMES THESE 
INVESTIGATIONS 
TAKE SOME TIME. 
THAT HOOD WILL 
BE AT THE CENTER 
OF IT. 
SAVANNA? 
>> STEPHANIE, 
YOU ALSO MADE 
THE IMPORTANT 
NOTE RIGHT HERE 
AT THE BEGINNING 
OF OUR 
CONVERSATION 
THAT THIS DIDN'T 
HAPPEN LAST 
WEEK. 
THIS WAS BACK IN 
MARCH. 
WHY ARE WE JUST 
NOW SEEING THIS 
VIDEO? 
>> Reporter: 
IT'S INTERESTING.
THE ATTORNEY FOR 
THE FAMILY HAD 
CALLED FOR A 
FREEDOM OF 
INFORMATION ACT 
REQUEST FOR THIS 
VIDEO TO BE 
RELEASED. 
ONCE HE OBTAINED 
IT, IT WAS THEN 
RELEASED 
PUBLICLY BY THE 
CITY. 
THAT'S WHY WE 
ARE SEEING IT 
NOW. 
THE CITY ITSELF, 
AND THE MAYOR 
HERSELF, COMING 
UNDER FIRE OF IT 
FOR NOT DRAWING 
ATTENTION TO 
THIS CASE 
EARLIER ON. 
HOWEVER, THE 
ATTORNEY GENERAL 
WAS CALLED IN 
OVER THE SUMMER 
BY GOVERNOR 
ANDREW CUOMO TO 
DO THIS SPECIAL 
INVESTIGATION. 
AS WE HAVE SEEN 
OVER AND OVER 
AGAIN, IT IS THE 
VIDEO, AND 
PEOPLE SEEING 
THE VIDEO THAT 
TRIGGERS THE 
MOST PASSIONATE 
RESPONSE 
SOMETIMES. 
>> NOW, YOU'VE 
TOLD US THAT 
THEY WILL BE 
INVESTIGATING 
THIS. 
THE ATTORNEY 
GENERAL SAID 
THAT. 
WHAT ELSE DO WE 
KNOW FROM THE 
ROCHESTER 
POLICE, THE NEW 
YORK ATTORNEY 
GENERAL, ABOUT 
THE 
INVESTIGATION 
AND THE OFFICERS 
INVOLVED? 
>> Reporter: WE 
HAVE REACHED OUT
, AND WE HAVE 
ALSO REACHED OUT 
TO THE UNION TO 
THE POLICE AND 
THEY HAVE NOT 
RESPONDED BACK 
TO US. 
THE POLICE DON'T 
WANT TO SAY 
ANYTHING RIGHT 
NOW ON THE 
RECORD WHILE 
THESE 
INVESTIGATIONS 
ARE ONGOING. 
THE FAMILY HAS 
CALLED FOR THE 
SUSPENSION OF 
THESE POLICE 
OFFICER. 
THEY WILL COME 
UNDER INCREASED 
PRESSURE TO 
SUSPEND THOSE 
OFFICES AS A 
RESULT OF WHAT 
HAPPENED. 
OTHERWISE, THERE 
HASN'T BEEN A 
LOT OF 
COMMUNICATION. 
NOW, THEY HAVE A 
SITUATION WHERE 
WE SAW A PROTEST 
YESTERDAY. 
THERE WILL 
LIKELY BE MORE 
PROTESTS. 
THEY WANT TO 
OBVIOUSLY KEEP 
THOSE PROTESTS 
PEACEFUL. 
SAVANNA?

HE IS DONATED 
$100 MILLION TO

CORRESPONDENT

REPORTS. 
>> Reporter: 
WELL, WE KNOW 
THAT MIKE 
BLOOMBERG MEANS 
BUSINESS. 
TODAY IS VERY 
GOOD BUSINESS. 
WHEN HE WAS 
RUNNING FOR 
PRESIDENT HE 
ANNOUNCED THE 
GREENWOOD 
INITIATIVE, 
WHICH WAS HIS 
BLACK ECONOMIC 
EMPOWERMENT 
PROGRAM. 
NOW, AS A 
PRIVATE CITIZEN, 
HE IS LAUNCHING 
THE FIRST LEG OF 
THAT INITIATIVE 
WITH A $100 
MILLION DONATION 
TO FOUR 
PREDOMINATELY 
BLACK MEDICAL 
SCHOOLS. 
THERE ARE SOME 
PRETTY GRIM 
FACTS OUT THERE. 
ONLY 5% OF 
DOCTORS IN 
AMERICA TODAY 
ARE BLACK. 
LET'S JUST TAKE 
A LOOK AT COVID. 
WE KNOW THAT 
TWICE AS MANY 
BLACK PEOPLE ARE 
DYING FROM COVID 
AS OUR WHITE 
AMERICANS. 
AS OUR ASIAN 
AMERICANS. 
BLACK MORTALITY 
IS HIGHER WHEN 
THERE ARE BLACK 
DOCTORS. 
MIKE BLOOMBERG 
IS MAKING THIS 
MOVE. 
$100 MILLION 
OVER THE NEXT 
FOUR YEARS. 
THAT'S GOING TO 
IMPACT OVER 800 
MEDICAL SCHOOLS. 
MOST MEDICAL 
SCHOOL STUDENTS 
ARE GETTING OUT 
OF SCHOOL WITH 
OVER $250,000 
WORTH OF DEBT. 
THIS IS 
ESSENTIALLY 
GOING TO ERASE 
THAT, AND 
HOPEFULLY GET US 
ONE STEP CLOSER 
TO CREATING 
ACTUAL 
GENERATIONAL 
WEALTH.

>>> TRUMPS 
DISREGARD FOR 
OUR MILITARY AND 
OUR VETERANS. 
QUITE FRANKLY, 
IF WHAT IS 
WRITTEN IN THE 
ATLANTIC IS 
TRUE, IS 
DISGUSTING. 
IT AFFIRMS WHAT 
MOST OF US 
BELIEVE TO BE 
TRUE. 
THAT DONALD 
TRUMP IS NOT FIT 
TO DO THE JOB OF 
PRESIDENT, BE 
THE COMMANDER IN 
CHIEF. 
THE PRESIDENT 
REPORTEDLY SAID, 
AND I EMPHASIZE 
REPORTEDLY SAID, 
BUT THOSE WHO 
SIGN UP TO SERVE,
INSTEAD OF DOING 
SOMETHING MORE 
LUCRATIVE, ARE 
SUCKERS. 
LET ME BE REAL 
CLEAR. 
WHEN MY SON WAS 
AN ASSISTANT 
U.S. VOLUNTEER 
TO GO TO 
CLOSABLE, WHILE 
THE WAR WAS 
GOING ON AS A 
CIVILIAN, HE WAS 
A SUCKER. 
MY SON 
VOLUNTEERED, AND 
JOINED THE 
UNITED STATES 
MILITARY AS AN 
ATTORNEY 
GENERAL. 
HE WENT TO IRAQ 
FOR A YEAR. 
WON THE BRONZE 
STAR AND OTHER 
COMMENDATIONS. 
HE WASN'T A 
SUCKER. 
THE SERVICEMEN 
AND WOMEN HE 
SERVED WITH, 
PARTICULARLY 
THOSE DID NOT 
COME HOME, WERE 
NOT LOSERS. 
THESE STATEMENTS 
ARE TRUE. 
THE PRESIDENT 
SHOULD HUMBLY 
APOLOGIZE. 
TO EVERY 
GOLDSTAR MOTHER 
AND FATHER, AND 
EVERY BLUE STAR 
FAMILY THAT HE 
HAS DENIGRATED. 
WHO THE HECK 
DOES HE THINK HE 
IS? 
IS IT TRUE? 
WELL, YOU'VE 
HEARD FROM HIS 
OWN MOUTH HIS 
CHARACTERIZATIONS
OF THE AMERICAN 
ERA OF JOHN 
McCAIN AS A 
LOSER IN 2015. 
DONALD TRUMP 
SAID HE WAS NOT 
A WAR HERO. 
I LIKE PEOPLE 
WHO WEREN'T 
CAPTURED. 
WELL, GOOD FOR 
HIM. 
AND HIS DISMISSAL
FROM A DRAMATIC 
BRAIN INJURY 
SUFFERED BY 
TROOPS SERVING IN
IRAQ AS MERE 
HEADACHES, NOT 
TOO LONG AGO, HE 
STOOD BY FAILING
, FAILING TO 
TAKE ACTION. 
OR, EVEN RAISED 
THE ISSUE WITH 
VLADIMIR PUTIN. 
WHILE THE 
KREMLIN PUTS 
BOUNTIES ON THE 
HEADS OF 
AMERICAN TROOPS 
IN AFGHANISTAN. 
IT'S A SACRED 
DUTY. 
YOU ARE TIRED OF 
HEARING ME SAY 
THIS. 
THOSE OF YOU 
THAT HAVE BEEN 
COVERING ME FOR 
YEARS NO I GET 
IN TROUBLE FOR 
SAYING IT. 
I'M GOING TO SAY 
IT AGAIN. 
WE HAVE MANY 
OBLIGATIONS IN 
THE GOVERNMENT. 
WE ONLY HAVE ONE 
TRULY SACRED 
OBLIGATION. 
EQUIP AND 
SUPPORT THOSE 
WHO WE SENT INTO 
HARMS WAY. 
CARE FOR THEIR 
FAMILIES WHILE 
THEY ARE GONE, 
AND CARE FOR 
THEM WHEN THEY 
ARE HOME. 
THAT'S THE ONLY 
TRULY SACRED 
OBLIGATION THE 
GOVERNMENT HAS. 
DUTY, HONOR, 
COUNTRY. 
THESE ARE VALUES 
THAT DRIVE OUR 
SERVICE MEMBERS. 
IT'S AN ALL 
VOLUNTARY OUTFIT.
PRESIDENT TRUMP 
DEMONSTRATED HE 
HAS NO SENSE OF 
SERVICE, TO 
LOYALTY CAUSE 
OTHER THAN 
HIMSELF.   
IF I'M HONORED 
IN BEING THE 
NEXT COMMANDER 
AND CHIEF I WILL 
ENSURE THAT OUR 
AMERICAN HEROES 
KNOW I WILL HAVE 
THEIR BACKS AND 
HONOR THEIR 
SACRIFICE, THOSE 
WHO HAVE BEEN 
INJURED WILL BE 
IN MILITARY 
PARADES. 
I 
ALWAYS CAUTION 
NOT TO LOSE MY 
TEMPER.  
THIS MAYBE AS 
CLOSE AS I HAVE 
COME, THIS 
CAMPAIGN. 
JUST A MARGER OF 
HOW MARKER OF 
HOW DEEPLY P 
TRUMP AND I 
DISAGREE IN THE 
ROLE OF THE 
PRESIDENT OF THE 
UNITED STATES OF 
AMERICA. 
THE AUGUST JOB'S 
REPORT CAME OUT 
THIS MORNING. 
I'M GRATEFUL FOR 
EVERYONE WHO 
FOUND WORK AGAIN 
AND FOUND A 
GLIMMER OF HOME 
TO BRING THEM 
BACK FROM THE 
EDGE. 
THERE IS REAL 
CAUSE FOR 
CONCERN AS WELL. 
THE JOB GAINS IN 
AUGUST WERE 
SLOWER THAN 
JULY. 
MORE AND MORE 
TEMPORARY 
LAYOFFS, TURNING 
INTO PERMANENT 
LAYOFFS, 28 
MILLION PEOPLE 
FILED FOR 
UNEMPLOYMENT. 
AFTER SIX MONTHS 
IN THE PANDEMIC 
WE ARE LESS THAN 
HALFWAY BACK TO 
WHERE WE WERE 
WITH 11.5 
MILLION 
AMERICANS NOT 
GETTING THEIR 
JOBS BACK. 
DOWN 720,000 
MANUFACTURING 
JOBS. 
DONALD TRUMP 
MAYBE THE ONLY 
PRESIDENT IN 
MODERN HISTORY 
TO LEAVE OFFICE 
WITH FEWER JOBS 
THAN WHEN HE 
TOOK OFFICE. 
I TALKED TO A 
LOT OF REAL 
WORKING PEOPLE. 
ASK THEM, THEY 
FEEL LIKE THEY 
ARE BEING LEFT 
BEHIND. 
ASK THEM HOW 
THEY FEEL ABOUT 
THE ECONOMY 
COMING BACK. 
THEY DON'T FEEL 
IT. 
THAT'S WHY I'M 
HERE TODAY. 
THANK YOU FOR 
HOSTING US HERE 
IN WILMINGTON. 
DOING GOD'S WORK 
FOR THIS 
COMMUNITY IS 
IMPORTANT. 
IT'S BEEN AROUND 
FOR MORE THAN 
130 YEARS 
THROUGH 
PANDEMICS, WARS, 
DEPRESSION, WEST 
END HAS BEEN 
HERE FOR 
GENERATIONS OF 
PEOPLE, WE ARE 
JUST LOOKING FOR 
A CHANCE, NOT A 
HANDOUT, JUST A 
FAIR SHOT AT A 
GOOD JOB, A SAFE 
PLACE TO LIVE 
AND A BETTER 
LIFE TO PASS 
DOWN TO THEIR 
KIDS. 
THIS IS A 
SPECIAL PLACE 
FOR THE BIDEN 
FAMILY. 
MY DAUGHTER, 
ASHLEY, A SOCIAL 
WORKER, WAS A 
CASEWORKER HERE, 
HELPING YOUNG 
PEOPLE AGING OUT 
OF FOSTER CARE. 
MY SON WAS THE 
ATTORNEY 
GENERAL, HE CAME 
HERE TO LEARN 
ABOUT JOB 
TRAINING 
PROGRAMS FOR 
THOSE WORKING 
TOWARDS A GED OR 
CERTIFICATE FOR 
GOOD PAYING 
JOBS. 
WHEN I WAS 
SENATOR AND VICE 
PRESIDENT, THERE 
WERE PLENTY OF 
ECONOMISTS I HAD 
AROUND ME TO 
TALK ABOUT EVERY 
ASPECT OF THE 
ECONOMY. 
I THINK ABOUT 
THE PEOPLE THAT 
WALK THROUGH THE 
DOORS HERE, 
WORKING PEOPLE, 
WHITE, BLACK, 
BROWN, LATINO. 
WHAT ARE THEY 
DOING? 
ARE THEY OKAY? 
I KNEW IF THEY 
WERE OKAY, THEY 
WALKED THROUGH 
THE DOORS THE 
ECONOMY WAS 
GOING OKAY.   
IF THEY WEREN'T 
OKAY, WE WEREN'T 
DOING WELL. 
THAT'S WHAT WE 
SHOULD BE 
THINKING ABOUT. 
THE REPORT 
REINFORCES THE 
WORST FEARS -- 
THE ECONOMIC 
INEQUITIES THAT 
BEGAN BEFORE THE 
DOWNTURN 
WORSENED UNDER 
THIS FAILED 
PRESIDENCY. 
WHEN THE CRISIS 
STARTED WE HOPED 
FOR A FEW MONTHS 
OF A SHUTDOWN 
FOLLOWED BY AN 
ECONOMIC TURN 
AROUND. 
NO ONE YOU ARE 
THOUGHT THEY 
WOULD LOSE THEIR 
JOB FOR GOOD OR 
SEE BUSINESSES 
SHUT DOWN. 
THAT KIND OF 
RECOVERY 
REQUIRES 
LEADERSHIP, 
LEADERSHIP WE 
DIDN'T HAVE AND 
STILL DON'T 
HAVE, AS A 
RESULT, 
ECONOMISTS ARE 
STARTING TO CALL 
THIS RECESSION A 
K-SHAPED 
RECESSION, A 
FANCY PHRASE FOR 
WHAT IS WRONG 
WITH EVERYTHING 
ABOUT TRUMP'S 
PRESIDENCY. 
THE K MEANS 
THOSE AT THE TOP 
WILL SEE THINGS 
GO UP, THOSE IN 
THE MIDDLE AND 
BELOW ARE SEEING 
THINGS GO DOWN 
AND GET WORSE. 
IT'S NO SURPRISE 
BECAUSE THAT 
ROOT OF THIS, 
THE FACT THAT 
TRUMP HAS 
MISMANAGED THE 
COVID CRISIS AND 
THAT'S WHY IT'S 
A K-SHAPED 
PANDEMIC. 
FIRST THE 
PRESIDENT'S 
CHAOTIC 
MISMANAGEMENT OF 
THE PANDEMIC IS 
STILL HOLDING US 
BACK COMPARED TO 
OTHER MAJOR 
INDUSTRIAL 
COMPANIES IN 
EUROPE AND ASIA. 
DURING THE 
PANDEMIC OUR 
UNEMPLOYMENT 
RATE IS MORE 
THAN -- [NO 
AUDIO] 
-- OTHER NATIONS 
GONE UP BY HALF, 
WHY? 
BECAUSE THE 
PRESIDENT 
BOTCHED THE 
COVID RESPONSE, 
BOTCHED IT 
BADLY. 
I SAID FROM THE 
BEGINNING WE 
CAN'T DEAL WITH 
AN ECONOMIC 
CRISIS UNTIL YOU 
BEAT THE 
PANDEMIC. 
YOU CAN'T HAVE 
AN ECONOMIC COME 
BACK WHEN ALMOST 
1000 AMERICANS 
DIE EACH DAY 
FROM COVID. 
WHEN THE DEATH 
TOLL WAS REACHED 
200,000. 
WHEN MORE THAN 6 
MILLION 
AMERICANS HAVE 
BEEN INFECTED. 
SCHOOLS AND 
BUSINESSES TRY 
TO RE-OPEN. 
WE KNOW IT 
DIDN'T HAVE TO 
BE THIS BAD. 
IT DIDN'T HAVE 
TO BE THAT BAD 
TO BEGIN WITH, 
IF THE PRESIDENT 
JUST DID HIS 
JOB. 
IF HE TOOK THE 
VIRUS SERIOUSLY 
EARLY ON IN 
JANUARY AND 
FEBRUARY, AS IT 
SPREAD AROUND 
THE GLOBE. 
IF HE TOOK THE 
STEPS WE NEEDED 
IN MARCH AND 
APRIL SINCE THE 
WIDESPREAD 
TESTING AND 
TRACING TO 
CONTROL THE 
VIRUS AND 
PROVIDED CLEAR 
NATIONAL 
SCIENTIFIC 
GUIDANCE TO 
STATE AND LOCAL 
AUTHORITIES, IF 
HE JUST DID AN 
EXAMPLE LIKE 
SOCIAL 
DISTANCING AND 
WEARING A MASK. 
IT'S NOT TOO 
MUCH TO ASK. 
IT'S ALMOST LIKE 
HE DOESN'T CARE, 
IT DOESN'T 
AFFECT HIM 
BECAUSE IT 
DOESN'T AFFECT 
HIM OR HIS CLASS 
OF FRIENDS. 
ANYONE WITH A 
BIG ENOUGH 
CHECKBOOK, YOU 
CAN HAVE A TEST 
ON DEMAND. 
IF YOU DON'T, 
YOU MIGHT HAVE 
TO WAIT IN LINE 
FOR HOURS AND 
WAIT FOR WEEKS 
TO GET YOUR 
RESULT, IF YOU 
CAN GET THEM AT 
ALL. 
IF THE KIND OF 
JOB WHERE YOU 
CAN WORK FROM A 
LAPTOP AT HOME, 
REMOTELY, 
RISKING GETTING 
COVID IS VERY 
SMALL AT WORK. 
THIS JOB REPORT 
SHOWS 37 MILLION 
PEOPLE REPORTED 
TELEWORKING IN 
AUGUST. 
IF YOU ARE 
WORKING AT ANTSY 
BEMLY LINE WITH 
OR CHECKOUT OR 
MEAT PACKING 
PLANT OR DRIVING 
A TRUCK OR 
DELIVER 
PACKAGES, YOU 
ARE AT A GREATER 
RISK, 27 MILLION 
WORKERS REPORTED 
THEY COULDN'T 
WORK OR LOST 
HOURS BASS THEIR 
EMPLOYER HAD TO 
CLOSE OR LOST 
BUSINESS DUE TO 
THE PANDEMIC.   
IF YOU CAN HIRE 
A PRIVATE TUTOR 
OR HAVE A LIVE-
IN CHILD CARE, 
YOU CAN BALANCE 
BETWEEN A PARENT 
AND REMOTE 
SCHOOLING. 
IF YOU CAN'T, 
YOU HAVE TO DO 
YOUR JOB AND BE 
A TEACHER ALL AT 
ONCE. 
JILL AND I HELD 
BRIEFINGS ON RE-
OPENING SCHOOL 
SAFELY TWO DAYS 
AGO, ASKING THE 
QUESTIONS, SO 
MANY PARENTS 
CALL AND ASK US. 
EDUCATOR AS WELL 
WHO FEEL LIKE 
THEY ARE THIS AN 
IMPOSSIBLE 
SITUATION. 
WHAT ARE THEY 
SUPPOSED TO DO 
WITH OUR 
CHILDREN? 
WHEN THE 
PRESIDENT MADE 
IT SO HARD FOR 
SCHOOLS TO RE-
OPEN SAFELY. 
WHAT IS THE 
ALTERNATIVE WHEN 
IT'S DEVASTATING 
TO KEEP THEM 
ISOLATED FROM 
FRIENDS AND 
SUPPORT SYSTEMS. 
I SAID EARLIER 
THIS WEEK, THE 
SHOCK OF MANY, 
IF YOU LOST MORE 
COPS THIS YEAR 
TO COVID, THAN 
ON PATROL, THIS 
REMINDER HOW AN 
ALREADY 
DANGEROUS JOB 
LAW ENFORCEMENT 
HAS GOTTEN MORE 
DANGEROUS 
BECAUSE OF 
TRUMP'S 
MISMANAGEMENT. 
WHAT MAYBE JUST 
AS SHOCKING IS 
MANY OTHER JOBS 
HAVE ALSO BECOME 
DANGEROUS DUE TO 
COVID. 
HEALTH CARE 
WORKERS IS NOW 
MORE DANGEROUS 
THAN ERR. 
WE LOST HUNDREDS 
BECAUSE THEY 
WEREN'T 
PROTECTED FROM 
COVID ON THE 
JOB. 
BEING MEATPACKER 
IS MORE 
DANGEROUS THAN 
EVER. 
SO MANY HAVE 
DIED DUE TO 
GETTING COVID AT 
WORK. 
WORK FOR 
WAITRESSES AND 
TRANSIT WORKERS 
HAVE BECOME MORE 
DANGEROUS WITH 
SO MANY DYING OF 
COVID. 
LADIES AND 
GENTLEMEN, NO 
MATTER WHAT HE 
SAYS OR CLAIMS, 
YOU ARE NOT 
SAFER IN DONALD 
TRUMP'S AMERICA. 
YOU ARE NOT SAFE 
IN DONALD 
TRUMP'S AMERICA 
WHERE PEOPLE ARE 
DYING AT A RATE, 
WHEN AMERICANS 
WERE FIGHTING IN 
WORLD WAR II. 
DONALD TRUMP'S 
MALPRACTICE 
DURING THIS 
PANDEMIC MADE 
BEING A WORKING 
AMERICAN A LIFE 
OR DEATH WORK. 
WHILE THERE IS A 
DISPROPORTIONATE 
IMPACT ON BLACK, 
LATINO AND ASIAN 
AMERICANS AND 
NATIVE 
AMERICANS, WHITE 
WORKING CLASS 
COMMUNITIES ARE 
GETTING HIT HARD 
AS WELL. 
ANOTHER CRISIS 
-- TRUMP 
CONTINUES TO ALL 
BUT IGNORE. 
IN THE MEANTIME, 
TRUMP AND HIS 
FRIENDS HAVE 
STRONG VIEWS 
ABOUT WHAT THE 
REST AMERICA 
SHOULD DO. 
QUOTE, CUT 
UNEMPLOYMENT 
BENEFITS TO 
FORCE PEOPLE TO 
GO BACK TO THEIR 
JOBS, END OF 
QUOTE. 
DEFUND SOCIAL 
SECURITY AND 
ELIMINATE OBAMA 
CARE IN MIDDLE 
OF A PANDEMIC. 
RE-OPEN PUBLIC 
SCHOOLS WITHOUT 
RESOURCES OR 
GUIDANCE. 
RE-OPEN MAIN 
STREET BUSINESS 
WITHOUT 
PROTECTION FOR 
WORKERS SO 
COPRATIONS CAN 
CONTINUE TO 
SOAR. 
THIS IS THEIR 
PLAN. 
SECOND AND 
SIMILARLY, THE 
ECONOMIC PAIN 
REMAINS 
UNRELENTLESS FOR 
MILLIONS OF 
WORKING PEOPLE 
OF EVERY RACE 
AND BACKGROUND 
WHO ARE NOT 
GETTING RELIEF 
THEY NEED. 
WHEN WHILE, SOME 
BETTER THAN EVER 
-- THIS IS 
UNIQUE TO ANY 
RECESSION IN 
RECENT MEMORY. 
THE PAINFUL 
TRUTH IS, WE 
HAVE A PRESIDENT 
WHO JUST DOESN'T 
FEEL IT. 
HE DOESN'T 
UNDERSTAND. 
HE JUST DOESN'T 
GET IT. 
HE THINKS IF THE 
STOCK MARKET IS 
UP, EVERYTHING 
IS FINE. 
HIS WEALTHY 
FRIENDS AND 
DONORS ARE DOING 
WELL, EVERYTHING 
IS DOING WELL. 
IF CORPORATIONS 
SEE THEIR 
VALUATIONS 
RISING, THEY 
MUST BE HIRING. 
THE BEST 
ECONOMISTS KNOW 
WHAT I KNOW, I 
HAVE LEARNED 
GROWING UP IN 
SCRANTON AND 
DELAWARE, UP THE 
ROAD, PLACES 
THAT ARE NOT 
INVESTED IN THE 
MARKET LIKE MOST 
AMERICANS, THE 
QUALITY OF LIFE 
OF THE AMERICAN 
PEOPLE -- IF 
YOUR STOCK 
SOARS, FAMILIES 
TEETER ON THE 
BRINK OF HUNGER 
AND HOMELESSNESS 
AND THE 
PRESIDENT CALLS 
THAT SUCCESS, 
WHAT DOES THAT 
SAY ABOUT WHAT 
HE VALUES? 
YOU SEE THE 
WORLD IN SUCH A 
NARROW PRISM, 
IT'S NO WONDER 
HE DOESN'T SEE 
30 MILLION 
AMERICANS ON 
UNEMPLOYMENT. 
ONE IN SIX SMALL 
BUSINESSES ARE 
CLOSED RIGHT 
NOW. 
HE DOESN'T 
UNDERSTAND WHAT 
LIFE IS LIKE FOR 
PEOPLE WALKING 
BY THEIR BOARDED 
UP SHOPS. 
EDUCATORS AFRAID 
THAT DOING THEIR 
JOB THAT JOB 
THEY LOVE WILL 
BRING THE VIRUS 
HOME TO THE 
PEOPLE THEY 
LOVE. 
PARENTS 
SEARCHING FOR 
HEALTH INSURANCE 
NOW THAT THE 
FURLOUGH TURNED 
INTO A LAYOFF. 
IT'S NO WONDER 
HE DOESN'T SEE 
THE SINGLE MOM, 
FORCED TO WAIT 
IN A THREE-HOUR 
FOOD LINE. 
FOR THE FIRST 
TIME IN HER 
LIFE, SO SHE CAN 
FEED HE FAMILY 
BECAUSE SHE IS 
PART OF THE ONE 
THIS SIX 
HOUSEHOLDS WITH 
CHILDREN THAT 
DON'T HAVE 
ENOUGH TO EAT. 
HE WANTS US TO 
BELIEVE WE ARE 
DOING BETTER TO 
KEEP IT UP AND 
NOT NOTICE THIS 
REMAINS THE 
WORST ECONOMIC 
SITUATION SINCE 
THE GREAT 
DEPRESSION. 
OUR COUNTRY 
FACED A HISTORIC 
DIVERSION IN OUR 
WAY OF LIFE. 
WHICH GETS ME TO 
MY THIRD AND 
FINAL POINT WHAT 
THE AMERICAN 
PEOPLE NEED TO 
UNDERSTAND, WALL 
PAIN AND 
SUFFERING STEMS 
FROM PRESIDENT 
TRUMP'S FAILURE 
TO LEAD. 
HIS SHEER 
INABILITY AND 
WILLINGNESS TO 
BRING PEOPLE 
TOGETHER. 
HE LIKES TO SIGN 
EXECUTIVE ORDERS 
ACTIONS FOR 
PHOTO OPSS, THEY 
ARE ILL 
CONCEIVED AND 
CAN DO MORE HARM 
THAN GOOD. 
HE SAYS 
PROTECTING 
RENTERS FROM 
EVICTION, THAT'S 
WHAT HE IS 
DOING, BUT NOT 
GIVING THEM 
SUPPORT TO PAY 
THE RENT WHEN IT 
COMES DUE. 
MILLIONS OF 
AMERICANS WILL 
BE LEFT WITH A 
TERRIBLE CHOICE 
BETWEEN EVICTION 
AND LIVING IN 
THE STREETS, OR 
PAYING BACK RENT 
THEY SIMPLY 
DON'T HAVE, WHEN 
THERE WAS AN 
ANSWER OFFERED 
AND REJECTED. 
HE CUT THE 
AMOUNT EVERYONE 
RECEIVED, LEAVES 
THEM ON THE EDGE 
WHEN IT RUNS OUT 
IN A FEW WEEKS 
OR SOONER. 
HE SHOULD BE 
DOING HIS JOB, 
CALLING 
CONGRESSIONAL 
LEADERS 
TOGETHER, 
IMMEDIATELY, TO 
GET A DEAL AND 
DELIVER REAL 
RESULTS FOR THE 
AMERICAN PEOPLE. 
THIS IS THE 
FIRST PRESIDENT 
IN THE MIDDLE OF 
A CRISIS I NEVER 
SEEN HAS 
CONGRESS 
CONGRESS INTO 
THE OVAL OFFICE. 
IF I WERE 
PRESIDENT, 
THAT'S WHAT I 
WOULD DO AND GET 
IT DONE LIKE 
PREVIOUS 
PRESIDENTS, 
RENTALS, FOOD, 
UNEMPLOYMENT 
ASSISTANCE, 
STUDENT LOAN 
RELIEF, SMALL 
BUSINESS 
SUPPORT, AID TO 
SCHOOLS AND 
STATE 
GOVERNMENTS THAT 
ARE GOING 
BANKRUPT. 
AS LONG AS THIS 
PANDEMIC AND THE 
ECONOMIC 
CATASTROPHE 
PERSISTS, NO ONE 
SHOULD HAVE 
THEIR WATER OR 
POWER CUT OFF 
BECAUSE THEY 
CAN'T AFFORD TO 
PAY THE BILL. 
BOTTOM LINE, MR. 
PRESIDENT, DO 
YOUR JOB. 
GET OFF YOUR 
GOLF COURSE AND 
OUT OF THE SAND 
BUNKER, CALL THE 
LEADERS TOGETHER 
IN THE OVAL 
OFFICE, SIT WITH 
THEM AND MAKE A 
DEAL, MAKE A 
DEAL THE THAT 
DELIVERS FOR 
WORKING 
AMERICANS, AND 
EASES THEIR 
ANXIETY AND 
PAIN. 
IN JULY, I LAID 
OUT MY BILL BACK 
BETTER PLAN FOR 
AN ECONOMY THAT 
WORKS FOR 
EVERYONE. 
OVER THE NEXT 
THREE WEEKS I 
WILL BE LAYING 
OUT THE SHARP 
CONTRAST, MY 
PLAN HAS WITH 
THE PRESIDENT'S 
NON PLANS. 
I WILL BE ASKING 
THE AMERICAN 
PEOPLE THREE 
BASIC QUESTIONS, 
WHO CAN HANDLE 
THE PANDEMIC, 
WHO CAN KEEP 
THEIR PROMISES? 
WHO CARES ABOUT 
AND WILL FIGHT 
FOR WORKING 
FAMILIES? 
LIKE THE PEOPLE 
HERE IN WEST 
END, THROUGHOUT 
THIS PANDEMIC, 
THEY FOUND THEIR 
WAY TO KEEP THE 
CENTER OPEN 
SAFELY AND 
PROVIDE FOR 
CRITICAL 
SERVICES. 
NO ONE HERE HAS 
BEEN LAID OFF. 
THEY ADJUSTED 
THEIR SPACES FOR 
SOCIAL 
DISTANCING, THEY 
STARTED A 
LENDING PROGRAM 
TO HELP LOCAL 
BUSINESSES, HAIR 
SALONS, AND 
ANOTHER SMALL 
BUSINESSES AND 
CONTINUED CHILD 
CARE SERVICE, 
CRITICAL FOR SO 
MANY WORKING 
FAMILIES, BY 
PURE COURAGE, 
HEART AND GRIT 
THEY NEVER GIVE 
UP AND NEVER 
GIVE IN, AND 
PURSUE THE FULL 
PROMISE FOR 
AMERICA. 
THAT'S THE STORY 
OF THE PEOPLE OF 
THIS COMMUNITY 
AND THIS 
COUNTRY. 
THAT'S WHO WE 
ARE. 
GIVE ORDINARY 
AMERICANS HALF A 
CHANCE AND THEY 
NEVER LET THE 
COUNTRY DOWN 
THEY WILL DO 
EXTRAORDINARY 
THINGS, THEY 
WILL NEVER LET 
US DOWN UNLIKE 
THE CURRENT 
PRESIDENT. 
I WON'T LET YOU 
DOWN EITHER. 
THAT'S WHAT THIS 
ELECTION IS 
ABOUT. 
HELPING PEOPLE 
UNITE GET 
TOGETHER, MOVE 
THIS COUNTRY 
BACK IN THE 
DIRECTION THAT 
WE CAN BE. 
THERE IS NOTHING 
BEYOND OUR 
CAPACITY. 
NOTHING. 
IF WE JUST DO IT 
TOGETHER. 
THANK YOU, ALL, 
I WILL NOW TAKE 
YOUR QUESTIONS. 
I GUESS, ARE YOU 
CALLING ON 
PEOPLE? 
I DON'T HAVE A 
LIST. 
YOU GO AHEAD AND 
CALL. 
>> THIS MORNING 
IN REFERENCE TO 
THE ARTICLE IN 
THE ATLANTIC , 
THE COMMENTS 
DEMONSTRATED 
PRESIDENT 
TRUMP'S LIFE IS 
A TESTAMENT TO 
SELFISHNESS AND 
THAT HIS SOUL IS 
THAT OF A 
COWARD. 
YOU TALKED ABOUT 
THIS AS A 
DIFFERENT VIEW 
OF HOW YOU SEE 
THE JOB AS 
PRESIDENT. 
WHEN YOU HEAR 
THESE REMARKS, 
SUCKERS, 
RECOILING FROM 
AMPUTEE, WHAT 
DOES IT TELL YOU 
ABOUT PRESIDENT 
TRUMP'S SOUL AND 
THE LIFE HE 
LEADS? 
>> I'M GOING TO 
TRY TO BE 
MEASURED IN MY 
RESPONSE.   
IF IT'S TRUE, 
BASED ON THE 
THINGS HE SAID, 
I BELIEVE THE 
ARTICLE IS TRUE, 
I WOULD ASK YOU 
TO RHETORICAL 
QUESTION, HOW DO 
YOU FEEL? 
HOW WOULD YOU 
FEEL IF YOU HAD 
A KID IN 
AFGHANISTAN 
RIGHT NOW? 
HOW WOULD YOU 
FEEL IF YOU LOST 
A SON OR 
DAUGHTER, 
HUSBAND OR WIFE, 
HOW WOULD YOU 
SEE, FOR REAL? 
I KNOW THAT'S 
NOT YOUR JOB TO 
EXPRESS THAT 
FEELING. 
YOU KNOW. 
YOU KNOW IN YOUR 
HEART, YOU KNOW 
IN YOUR GUT, 
IT'S DEPLORABLE. 
IT'S DEPLORABLE. 
AS I SAID MANY 
TIMES, I WILL 
SAY IT AGAIN, 
THESE FOLKS ARE 
THE BACKBONE OF 
AMERICA. 
THEY ARE THE 
HEART, THE SOUL, 
THE GRIT. 
THAT'S WHAT 
PATRIOTISM IS 
ABOUT. I 
PROBABLY -- I 
HAVE NEVER BEEN 
AS DISAPPOINTED 
IN MY WHOLE 
CAREER WITH THE 
LEADER THAT I 
WORKED WITH 
PRESIDENT OR 
OTHERWISE, IF 
THE ARTICLE IS 
TRUE AND IT 
APPEARS TO BE 
BASED ON THE 
THINGS HE SAID, 
IT IS ABSOLUTELY 
DAMMABLE -- IT 
IS A DISGRACE. 
>> WHAT WOULD 
YOU SAY TO THE 
SUPPORTERS OF 
THE Q ANON, 
PEOPLE THAT 
BELIEVE IN THAT 
CONSPIRACY, WHAT 
THEY THINK IS 
TRUE ABOUT 
AMERICA, THERE 
IS SEX 
TRAFFICKING AND 
CONSPIRACY 
AGAINST 
PRESIDENT TRUMP 
AND WHAT WOULD 
YOU SAY TO 
PRESIDENT TRUMP 
WERE NOT 
REJECTING THAT 
CONSPIRACY AND 
THE PEOPLE WHO 
BELIEVE IN IT?   
>> I HAVE BEEN A 
BIG SUPPORTER OF 
MENTAL HEALTH, I 
WOULD RECOMMEND 
THE PEOPLE THAT 
BELIEVE IT MAYBE 
SHOULD TAKE 
ADVANTAGE WHILE 
IT STILL EXISTS 
IN THE 
AFFORDABLE CARE 
ACT. 
IT'S BIZARRE. 
TOTALLY BIZARRE. 
NOW, IF YOU 
FOUND THAT PLANE 
LOAD OF PEOPLE 
IN UNIFORMS ARE 
WEAPONS AND 
FLYING AROUND? 
HAVE YOU FOUND 
THEM YET? 
HAS ANYBODY -- I 
RESPECT 
CONSERVATIVISM 
AND SEVERAL 
REVIEWS OF THE 
PRESS, HAVE YOU 
FOUND THAT 
PLANE? 
WHAT IN GOD'S 
NAME ARE WE 
DOING? 
LOOK HOW IT 
MAKES US LOOK 
AROUND THE 
WORLD. 
IT'S MORTIFYING. 
IT'S 
EMBARRASSING. 
IT'S DANGEROUS. 
IT'S DANGEROUS.  
IF THE PRESIDENT 
DOESN'T KNOW 
BETTER, WHICH HE 
HAS TO KNOW 
BETTER, MY LORD, 
WE ARE MUCH MORE 
TROUBLE THAN I 
EVER THOUGHT WE 
WERE. 
IT'S BIZARRE. 
THIS IS A CASE 
WHERE I HAVE 
BEEN SURPRISED, 
PLEASED BUT 
SURPRISED, WITH 
FOLKS I HAVE HAD 
CRITICAL 
ARGUMENTS WITH 
LIKE THE FORMER 
GOVERNOR OF 
MICHIGAN, COMING 
OUT TO ENDORSE 
ME. 
THIS CAN'T GO 
ON. 
IT CANNOT GO ON. 
IT'S A DEACON 
DEACON 
INSTRUCTION OF A 
DEMOCRATIC 
SYSTEM. 
THE WORDS OF A 
PRESIDENT 
MATTER. 
EVEN A LOUSY 
PRESIDENT. 
IT GIVES 
ENCOURAGEMENT TO 
PEOPLE WHO ARE 
SPOUTING 
IRRATIONAL VIEWS 
THAT NO ONE HAS 
EVER COME CLOSE 
TO PRESUMING OR 
SHOWING EVER 
EXISTED. 
FROM THE VERY 
BEGINNING, HE 
UNDERSTOOD THE 
ONLY WAY HE CAN 
WIN THE FIRST 
TIME AND CAN WIN 
THIS TIME, 
MENTALLY 
DIVIDING THE 
NATION, PUTS THE 
NATION, DIVIDES 
US SO WE ARE AT 
EACH OTHER'S 
THROATS. 
THAT'S NOT WHO 
WE ARE. 
THAT'S NOT WHO 
WE ARE. 
>> THANK YOU, 
SIR. 
>> THANK YOU, 
MR. VICE 
PRESIDENT. 
LAST NIGHT 
PRESIDENT TRUMP 
MOCKED YOU FOR 
WEARING A MASK 
AND SAID THIS IS 
A SIGN THAT YOU 
MUST HAVE SOME 
BIG ISSUES. 
HE SAYS THIS 
EVEN THOUGH HE 
KNOWS ACCORDING 
TO SCIENTISTS 
AND PUBLIC 
HEALTH OFFICIALS 
WEARING MASKS 
SAVES LIVES, I 
WONDER IF YOU 
WORRY THIS KIND 
OF LANGUAGE THAT 
COMES FROM THE 
PRESIDENT OF THE 
UNITED STATES 
COULD DETER SOME 
AMERICANS TUNING 
IN TO HIM TO NOT 
WEAR MASKS. 
>> WELL, I AM A 
SMART FELLOW. 
I LISTEN TO 
SCIENTISTS. 
THIS IS NOT A 
GAME. 
LIFE AND DEATH, 
LIFE AND DEATH. 
REPORTS THAT WE 
ARE GOING TO 
HAVE MAYBE, SOME 
REPORTS, ANOTHER 
100,000 DEAD, AS 
MANY AS 100,000 
DEAD, MORE BY 
THE END OF THE 
YEAR. 
I DON'T GET IT. 
I MEAN, ANYWAY, 
IT IS HARD TO 
RESPOND TO 
SOMETHING SO 
IDIOTIC. 
>> HAVE YOU BEEN 
TESTED THOUSAND 
FOR COVID-19? 
>> YES, I HAVE. 
>> HOW MANY 
TIMES? 
>> I HAVE BEEN 
TESTED ONCE WITH 
THE DEEP TEST 
AND CONTINUE TO 
BE TEST ING  ON 
A REGULAR BASIS. 
>> CAN I ASK 
ABOUT ATTORNEY 
GENERAL WILLIAM 
BARR SAYING, HIS 
ASSESSMENT, 
CHINA POSES THE 
MOST AGGRESSIVE 
THREAT TO U.S. 
ELECTIONS MORE 
THAN IRAN OR 
RUSSIA. 
DO YOU BELIEVE 
THAT, IS THAT 
YOUR 
UNDERSTANDING 
BASED ON THE 
INTELLIGENCE 
BRIEFINGS THAT 
YOU HAVE 
RECEIVED? 
>> IT'S NOT 
CONSISTENT WITH 
THE BRIEFINGS I 
HAVE RECEIVED. 
HE IS A LOUSY 
ENOUGH ATTORNEY 
GENERAL BUT A 
REALLY BAD 
INTELLIGENCE 
OFFICER. 
I BELIEVE WHAT I 
HAVE BEEN TOLD. 
YOU ALL KNOW IT. 
OUTFITS LIKE 
FACEBOOK -- 
LOOK, THERE ARE 
A LOT OF 
COUNTRIES AROUND 
THE WORLD THAT 
WOULD LIKE TO 
SEE OUR COUNTRY 
DESTABILIZED. 
THE ONE THAT IS 
WORKING THE 
HARDEST AND 
NEVER LET UP IS 
RUSSIA. 
ASK YOURSELF 
RHETORICAL 
QUESTION, WHAT 
IS HE SO AFRAID 
OF, VLADIMIR 
PUTIN, ABOUT? 
I MEAN, WHAT IS 
THE PROBLEM? 
NOTHING, NOTHING 
NOTHING. 
IT'S ALMOST 
OBSEQUIOUS. 
I BELIEVE ANY 
COUNTRY THAT 
ENGAGES IN ANY 
ACTIVITY TO 
DELEGIT MAIZE OR 
IMPACT AMERICAN 
ELECTIONS IS A 
DIRECT VIOLATION 
OF OUR AMERICAN 
SOVEREIGNTY. 
IF I'M PRESIDENT 
OF THE UNITED 
STATES, THERE 
WILL BE A 
RESPONSE. 
>> IT'S BEEN A 
COUPLE OF WEEKS 
SINCE YOU 
ANNOUNCED 
SENATOR HARRIS 
AS YOUR RUNNING 
MATE. 
WE HAVEN'T SEEN 
HER OUT IN A 
COUPLE OF WEEKS. 
>> SHE HAS BEEN 
ON THE ROAD. 
SHE IS OUT 
HERSELF. 
THE ROLE IS LIKE 
WHEN BARACK AND 
I CAMPAIGNED, WE 
TRY TO COVER AS 
MUCH TERRITORY 
AS WE COULD. 
BOTH OF US OUT 
CAMPAIGNING. 
SHE IS AN 
INCREDIBLY 
COMPETENT 
CANDIDATE AND 
SHE IS DOING A 
GREAT JOB. 
THERE IS A LOT 
OF TERRITORY TO 
COVER. 
I TALK WITH HER 
EVERYDAY, I 
SPEAK WITH HER 
AND HE WORK 
TOGETHER. 
THIS NOTHING 
ABOUT NOT 
CAMPAIGNING 
TOGETHER. 
IT'S ABOUT BEING 
ABLE TO COVER 
MORE TERRITORY. 
>> A SECOND 
QUESTION, DO YOU 
KNOW WHEN YOU 
WILL HAVE 
ANOTHER COVID 
TEST? 
DO YOU HAVE ANY 
PLANS IN THE 
FUTURE FOR 
TESTING? 
>> THEY ARE 
GOING TO DO IT 
ON A REGULAR 
BASIS. 
EVEN ON MY 
SERVICE DETAIL 
AND PEOPLE WHO 
COME IN TO THE 
HOUSE WITH ME, 
THEY ALL HAVE 
TESTED. 
YES, SIR, SHOW 
UP AND PUT MY 
HEAD BACK WHEN 
THEY TELL ME. 
>> YOU DON'T 
KNOW WHEN IT 
WILL BE? 
>> I IMAGINE IT 
WILL BE SOMETIME 
NEXT WEEK BUT IT 
WILL BE A 
REGULAR BASIS. 
>> ANOTHER THING 
THE PRESIDENT 
SAID LAST NIGHT, 
ONCE AGAIN 
SUGGESTED TO HIS 
SUPPORTER THEY 
SHOULD CONSIDER 
VOTING TWICE IF 
THEY ARE IN A 
STATE THAT CAN 
ALLOW YOU TO 
REQUEST AN 
ABSENTEE 
BALLOTING FILL 
THAT OUT AND GO 
TRY VOTING AGAIN 
IN PERSON. 
STATE OFFICIALS 
SAID IT'S A 
FELONY IN SOME 
CASES. 
CURIOUS WHAT YOU 
MAKE OF IT. 
>> IT IS A 
FELONY. 
FELONY HERE IN 
THE STATE OF 
DELAWARE. 
LACK, HOW MANY 
TIMES DOES THIS 
PRESIDENT HAVE 
TO SUGGEST 
THINGS AND SAY 
THINGS WHERE YOU 
DON'T JUST WRITE 
HE IS A FRAUD. 
NOT AN OPINION, 
HE WANTED TO 
DELAY THE 
ELECTIONS MAYBE 
WE SHOULD, YOU 
KNOW, WRITE THIS 
BALLOTS ARE 
FRAUDULENT, NOT 
A SINGLE BIT OF 
EVIDENCE. 
IT'S DESIGNED TO 
CREATE SO MUCH 
CHAOS THAT NO 
MATTER WHAT THE 
OUTCOME OF AN 
ELECTION IS,IST 
THROWN UP IN THE 
AIR. 
THAT MUST BE HIS 
REASON, HE SAYS 
THINGS AND DOES 
THINGS THAT NO 
OTHER PRESIDENT, 
THAT I'M AWARE 
OF THIS AMERICAN 
HISTORY HAS 
DONE. 
THERE IS ANOTHER 
RIDICULOUS, 
ILLEGAL 
INAPPROPRIATE 
THING HE SAID. 
HE SAID SO MANY 
OF THEM IT 
DOESN'T MATTER. 
IT IS -- IT'S 
JUST -- IT JUST 
UNDER MINES A 
LEGITIMACY OF 
OUR DEMOCRATIC 
PROCESS. 
IT'S DANGEROUS. 
>> YOU SAID 
TODAY IS THE 
ANGRIEST YOU 
HAVE BEEN AS A 
PRESIDENTIAL 
CANDIDATE. 
BUT YOU SAID YOU 
ARE TRYING TO 
RESTRAIN 
YOURSELF. 
THERE ARE A LOT 
OF PEOPLE WHO 
ARE SUPPORTING 
YOU WHO ARE 
INCLINED NOT TO 
VOTE FOR THE 
PRESIDENT WHO 
WOULD SAY WHY 
ISN'T JOE BIDEN 
ANGRIER ABOUT 
ALL OF THIS. 
>> THE PRESIDENT 
OF THE UNITED 
STATES SHOULD BE 
PRESIDENTIAL AND 
LEAD BY EXAMPLE 
AND MAKE CLEAR 
EXACTLY WHERE 
THEY STAND. 
GETTING DOWN IN 
THE GUTTER LIKE 
THE PRESIDENT 
DOES, SAYING 
THINGS I WOULD 
BE INCLINED IF 
WE WERE BEHIND A 
BARN SOMEWHERE, 
THAT WOULD BE A 
DIFFERENT THING. 
THAT'S NOT THE 
JOB OF THE 
PRESIDENT. 
THE JOB OF THE 
PRESIDENT IS TO 
SET AN EXAMPLE. 
MY ANGER IS 
REAL, I CARRY, I 
DELIBERATELY 
DIDN'T BRING 
WITH ME TODAY, 
THE DELAWARE 
NATIONAL GUARD 
HAD A PERSON PEN 
MADE UP, A GOLD 
STAR, WHO DIDN'T 
DIE IN THE 
FIELD, I ALWAYS 
CARRY IT WITH 
ME. 
I DIDN'T CARRY 
IT TODAY BECAUSE 
I WAS WORRIED 
THAT IF I 
FOCUSED TOO MUCH 
ON IT THAT I 
WOULD ENGAGE IN 
SOME OF THE KIND 
OF LANGUAGE THE 
PRESIDENT HAS 
USED. 
I THINK IT IS 
SICK. 
IT IS 
DEPLORABLE. 
IT IS SO UN-
AMERICAN. 
IT IS SO 
UNPATRIOTIC. 
WATCHING HIM 
THIS MORNING, I 
WAS SHAVING WITH 
THE TV ON, 
TALKING ABOUT HE 
NEVER SAID 
ANYTHING LIKES 
THAT HE HONORED 
JOHN MCCAIN, HE 
IS THE REASON 
WHY FLAG WERE 
KNOWN AT HALF 
MASS. 
WASN'T THAT 
NOBLE OF HIM, HE 
IS THE SAME GUY 
THAT WHEN THE 
SHIP WENT INTO 
HARBOR, HE MADE 
SURE THE U.S.S. 
MCCAIN WAS 
COVERED, YOU 
COULDN'T SEE IT. 
SHE IS THE SAME 
GUY THAT DID YOU
-- JOHN. 
HE JUST STANDS 
THERE. 
IT'S ALMOST 
PATHOLOGICAL. 
I HAVE NEVER 
SAID ANYTHING 
LIKE THAT. 
NO ONE HAS BEEN 
BETTER TO THE 
MILITARY. 
I JUST GOT TO 
FOCUS ON WHAT 
HAS TO BE DOPE, 
NOT WHAT HE DID. 
WHAT GETS DONE 
FROM HERE. 
>> THANK YOU, 
SIR. 
>> THANK YOU MR. 
VICE PRESIDENT. 
IF I COULD 
FOLLOW UP ON 
ED'S QUESTION 
ABOUT VOTING. 
THE PRESIDENT 
HAS OPINION 
ATTACKING MAIL 
IN VOTING AND 
NOW SUGGESTING 
HIS SUPPORTERS 
VOTE TWICE. 
RUSSIA HAS BEEN 
TRIPE TO SEW 
DOUBT ABOUT THE 
SYSTEMS ARE YOU 
CONCERNED THIS 
MESSAGING MAYBE 
WORKING, YOUR 
SUPPORTS MAY 
GIVE UP ON 
VOTING BY MAIL 
BECAUSE THEY ARE 
CONCERNED IT 
MAYBE RIGGED? 
>> YES I AM. 
THAT'S WHY I TRY 
NOT TO TALK 
ABOUT IT TOO 
MUCH BECAUSE I'M 
PLAYING INTO, 
THE MORE WE TALK 
ABOUT IT, THERE 
ARE TWO THINGS 
HE WANTS US TO 
TALK ABOUT, IS 
THE ELECTION 
LEGITIMATE AND 
THE WHOLE 
COUNTRY IS UP IN 
FLAMES. 
EVERYTHING IS 
BURNING, LAW AND 
ORDER BECAUSE HE 
DOESN'T WANT TO 
TALK ABOUT 
ANYTHING. 
ANYTHING AT ALL 
ABOUT THE JOB HE 
HASN'T DONE. 
IT IS A 
CONUNDRUM, THERE 
IS A LOT WE 
COULD TALK ABOUT 
SPECIFICS, THE 
THINGS RUSSIA 
DOING AND NOT 
DOING. 
ALL OUT DOES IS 
UNDER MINE WHAT 
PEOPLE THINK 
MAYBE 
LEGITIMATE. 
I DON'T WANT 
PEOPLE REACHING 
THE POINT WHERE 
YOU CAN 
UNDERSTAND 
SOMETIMES, IT'S 
NOT WORTH 
VOTING. 
IT SEEMS TO ME 
ONE OF THE 
THINGS I KEEP 
TRIPE TO SAY TO 
PEOPLE IS GO TO 
I WILL VOTE.COM. 
FIGURE OUT I 
WILL VOTE.COM. 
FIGURE OUT WHERE 
YOU CAN VOTE, 
HOW YOU CAN 
VOTE, WHAT IS 
VAIL TO YOU. 
WHERE YOU CAN 
VOTE EARLY. 
WHERE YOU CAN 
VOTE IN PERSON, 
PLAN NOWS PLAN 
NOW. 
THE MORE CHAOS 
THAT IS SEWN 
HERE IS GOING TO 
DISINCLINE 
PEOPLE TO SHOW 
UP. 
IN A SENSE EVERY 
TIME I SPEAK I 
FEEL LIKE I'M 
PLAYING IN HIS 
GAME. 
DOES THAT MAKE 
SENSE WHAT I'M 
SAYING? 
I THINK THAT'S 
ALL PART OF THE 
DEAL.   
>> THANK YOU MR. 
VICE PRESIDENT. 
GOING BACK TO 
THE JOBLESS 
REPORT FROM THIS 
MORNING, YOU HAD 
ACKNOWLEDGED 
THAT LESS THAN 
HALF OF THE 22 
MILLION JOBS 
LOST THIS SPRING 
BECAUSE OF THE 
PANDEMIC HAVE 
BEEN RECOVERED. 
WHAT DO YOU 
THINK THE 1.4 
MILLION ADDED 
BACK IN AUGUST 
SAYS ABOUT THE 
GENERAL 
DIRECTION OF THE 
ECONOMY? 
>> I THINK ANY 
JOB ADDED BACK 
IS POSITIVE. 
I THINK IT 
MATTERS TO THE 
PEOPLE WHO GOT 
THAT JOB BACK. 
MAYBE YOU ALL 
WERE RAISED IN 
HOUSEHOLDS LAKE 
I WAS, WHERE MY 
MOM OR DAD WAS 
LOSING A JOB 
BECAUSE OF THE 
ECONOMY OR WHAT 
IS GOING ON IN 
YOUR COMMUNITY, 
YOU CAN FEEL THE 
TENSION IN THE 
HOUSEHOLD, JUST 
EVERYTHING. 
WORRYING ABOUT 
WHETHER YOU CAN 
PROVIDE FOR YOUR 
FAMILY. 
ALONG THE WAY, 
ALSO, LOOK AT 
THE PEOPLE WHO 
YOU HAVE GOT, 
YOU KNOW, A 
COUPLE OF 
MILLION PEOPLE, 
CLOSE TO, WHO 
ARE PART TIME 
WORKERS WHO 
STILL CAN'T MAKE 
IT BUT ARE 
LISTED AS 
EMPLOYEES. 
A LOT OF THEM 
ALSO ARE IN THE 
PROCESS OF 
WONDERING 
WHETHER OR NOT, 
THERE ARE A LOT 
OF PEOPLE LINED 
UP THIS FOOD 
LINES, THEY ARE 
THE PEOPLE, MANY 
OF THEM LOST 
THEIR HEALTH 
CARE PROVIDED BY 
THEIR EMPLOYER 
AND WORRYING, IF 
THIS PRESIDENT 
IS ABLE TO WIN 
IN COURT AND 
WIPE OUT THE 
ENTIRE 
AFFORDABLE CARE 
ACT AND ALL THE 
HUNDRED MILLION 
PEOPLE WITH 
PREEXISTING 
CONDITIONS WON'T 
BE ABLE TO GET 
INSURANCE EACH 
IF THEY HAD THE 
MONEY. 
THE ANXIETY IS 
ENORMOUS. 
AGAIN, I'M NOT 
BEING 
SOLICITOUS. 
I'M AMONG THE 
BRIGHTEST PEOPLE 
I DEALT WITH MY 
WHOLE CAREER 
HAVE BEEN THE 
PRESS, NOT A 
JOKE. 
YOU ALL ARE 
EXTREMELY WELL 
EDUCATED AND 
WELL READ, 
SIGNIFICANT 
BACKGROUNDS, THE 
VAST MAJORITY 
HAVE TRIED TO 
REPORT THE NEWS, 
NOT JUST 
OPINION, BUT I 
CAN'T BELIEVE 
THAT YOU DON'T 
FEEL THE SAME -- 
NOT DEMOCRAT-
REPUBLICAN, YOU 
DON'T FEEL THE 
SAME ANXIETY 
BECAUSE YOU HAVE 
A MOTHER OR 
SISTER, FATHER 
OR DAUGHTER, 
GOING THROUGH 
WHAT -- WE HAVE 
JOBS, I DON'T 
HAVE A JOB NOW 
BUT WE HAVE 
JOBS. 
IT'S A REAL 
CONCERN. 
I THINK THIS HAS 
MOVED BEYOND 
DEMOCRAT/REPUBLICAN 
I THINK IT'S 
MOVED TO TRYING 
TO PUT THIS 
COUNTRY BACK 
TOGETHER AGAIN 
SO WE CAN MOVE 
FORWARD. 
. 
>> PRESIDENT 
TRUMP ANNOUNCED 
A SERBIA DEAL -- 
JUST ANNOUNCED 
AN ECONOMIC 
DEAL, KOSOVO AND 
ISRAEL HAVING 
DIPLOMATIC 
NORMALIZATION, 
YOU STATED YOU 
SUPPORT A TWO-
STATE SOLUTION 
IN THE MIDDLE 
EAST, WOULD YOU 
SUPPORT MUSE 
LIMB COUNTRIES 
NORMALIZING 
RELATIONS WITH 
ISRAEL EVEN 
THOUGH IT MEANS 
PALESTINIANS 
WILL LOSE 
LEVERAGE IN THE 
FIGHT FOR THE 
TWO-STATE 
SOLUTION. 
>> I DON'T KNOW 
WHAT THE DEAL IS 
YOU ARE 
REFERRING TO, 
OKAY? 
WHAT I ARGUED 
RELATIVE TO 
SERBIA AND 
KOSOVO IS THAT 
KOSOVO SHOULD BE 
AN INDEPENDENT 
COUNTRY NOT A 
PART OF SERBIA. 
I SPENT A LOT OF 
TIME THERE. 
I DON'T KNOW HOW 
I ASSUME THAT 
WOULD REINFORCE 
THAT 
INDEPENDENCE BUT 
I DON'T KNOW 
BASED ON WHAT IS 
BEING SAID. 
I THINK 
NORMALIZATION OF 
RELATIONS AMONG 
COUNTRIES IS A, 
BY IN LARGE, 
ALMOST EVERY 
INSTANCE, A GOOD 
THING, TO HAVE A 
MUSLIM MAJORITY 
COUNTRY, A 
NORMALIZING 
RELATIONS WITH 
ISRAEL SEEMS 
POSITIVE TO ME. 
I HAVE TO KNOW 
THE DETAILS OF 
WHAT IS 
HAPPENING, WHAT 
IS GOING ON. 
I DON'T KNOW 
THAT. 
YOU MAYBE RIGHT 
THAT, THAT WOULD 
CAUSE THE 
PALESTINIANS TO 
LOSE LEVEL IN A 
DECISION ON A 
TWO-STATE 
SOLUTION. 
>> DO YOU 
SUPPORT MORE 
COUNTRIES 
RECOGNIZING 
ISRAEL? 
>> I DO. 
RECOGNIZING 
ISRAEL AS AN 
INDEPENDENT 
JEWISH STATE. 
I THINK THAT'S 
IMPORTANT. 
ALSO I BELIEVE 
THAT ISRAEL HAS 
TO BE PREPARED 
TO WORK TOWARDS 
A GENUINE TWO-
STATE SOLUTION. 
THANK YOU VERY 
MUCH. 
GWEN IFILL AND 
MY MOM, 
PHILOMENA CAROL %
LOMENA, WILL %
LOOK DOWN FROM %
HEAVEN AND BE 
PROUD. %

AMERICAN 
UNEMPLOYMENT 
SOARS, MANY ARE 
TURNING TO FOOD 
BANKS FOR HELP. 
IN LAS ANGELAS, 
NEARLY 2000 
PEOPLE LINED UP 
FOR DO NICES, 
MANY THERE FOR 
THE FIRST TIME. 
STEVE PATTERSON 
JOINS ME NOW 
FROM WHERE THE 
FOOD BANK 
OPERATES. 
TELL US ABOUT 
WHAT YOU HAVE 
SEEN THERE 
TODAY. 
>> Reporter: A 
LOT OF THANKFUL 
FACES, SAVANNA, 
PEOPLE UNDER 
SERVED AND 
REALLY IN A HARD 
SITUATION 
BECAUSE OF THE 
CORONAVIRUS. 
THE JOB MARKET 
HAS YET TO FULLY 
RECOVER OR 
HALFWAY TO THAT 
TO BEING ABLE 
THE SAY THINGS 
ARE BACK TO 
NORMAL OR 
ANYWHERE CLOSE 
TO NORMAL. 
YOU CAN SEE THAT 
TODAY. 
ABOUT 1400 
PEOPLE CAME 
THROUGH HERE, 
THE LA REGIONAL 
FOOD BANK, THEY 
HAVE BEEN DOING 
THIS SINCE THE 
PANDEMIC 
STARTED, SERVING 
HUNDREDS TO 
THOUSANDS OF 
PEOPLE AT ONE 
TIMES THEY 
ESTIMATE THEY 
HAVE PROBABLY 
HANDED OUT 90 
MILLION POUNDS 
OF FOOD JUST IN 
THE PANDEMIC 
ALONE. 
70MILLION MEALS, 
TODAY WAS 
DIFFERENT, WE 
SPOKE TO PEOPLE 
IN LINE, A LOT 
OF THEM IT WAS 
THE FIRST TIME 
GETTING 
ASSISTANCE LIKE 
THIS. 
 
OTHERS HAVE %
TAKEN ADVANTAGE %
OF IT BEFORE.  
BUT WE'R
WE ARE SKIPPING 
MEALS, WE ARE 
EATING THINGS IN 
THE CABINET, 
LEFTOVER, 
INSTEAD OF 
COMING AROUND 
THE TABLE AND 
HAVE A FULL MEAL 
IN MANY CASES 
WITH THEIR 
CHILDREN OR 
GRAND MOTHER OR 
FAMILY. 
THIS GAVE THEM 
THE OPPORTUNITY 
TO DO THAT. 
THAT'S WHAT IS 
SPECIAL ABOUT 
THIS. 
UNFORTUNATELY IT 
SPEAKS TO THE 
FACT THAT 
CORONAVIRUS IS 
STILL, IN MANY 
CASES SURGING 
BUT ALSO 
SUPPRESSING 
REALLY A LOT OF 
WHAT IS 
HAPPENING IN THE 
JOB MARKET IN 
CALIFORNIA. 
THIS IS A MARKET 
THAT DEPENDS ON 
ENTERTAINMENT 
AND TOURISM AND 
HOSPITALITY AND 
A LOT IS 
SHUTDOWN 
THROUGHOUT THE 
STATE. 
WE ARE HOVERING 
A 13% 
UNEMPLOYMENT 
RATE COMPARED TO 
THE REST OF THE 
COUNTRY AT 10%, 
IF YOU DIAL IN, 
LA COUNTY ALONE, 
IT'S AT 17%, 
UNEMPLOYMENT, 
LOOKING AND 
COMPARING TO THE 
REST OF THE 
NATION, A LOT OF 
PEOPLE ARE IN 
DIRE STRAITS, 
THIS IS ONE OF 
THOSE 
OPPORTUNITIES 
WHERE PEOPLE CAN 
GET SOMETHING TO 
EAT, PUT FOOD ON 
THE TABLE FOR 
THEMSELVES AND 
THEIR FAMILY. 
IT'S GOOD TO 
SEE, THAT IT 
SPEAKS TO THE 
FACT THINGS ARE 
BAD HERE WHEN IT 
COMES TO THE JOB 
MARKET. 
>>> I LOVE THE 
WAY YOU PUT THAT 
HUMANIZING, IT'S 
NOT JUST THE 
PALLETS AND 
CRATES AND 
BOXES, IT'S 
PEOPLE BEING 
ABLE THE HAVE 
THE OPPORTUNITY 
TO HAVE A MEAL 
WITH THEIR 
FAMILY. 
I KNOW YOU SPOKE 
WITH THE CEO OF 
THE LA FOOD 
BANK, WHAT DID 
HE TELL YOU? 
>> Reporter: HE 
WAS OPTIMISTIC 
ABOUT WHAT THEY 
HAVE BEEN ABLE 
TO DO AND ABLE 
TO CONTINUE TO 
DO. 
HE SAID, 
BASICALLY THEY 
HAVE BEEN GOING 
NON STOP SINCE 
THIS STARTED. 
IN A WAY IN 
WHICH IS VERY 
DRAMATIC. 
IN A LEVEL IN 
WHICH WE HAVEN'T 
SEEN SINCE THE 
GREAT RECESSION 
IN 2008. 
BECAUSE OF THE 
LEVEL OF NEED IS 
SO HIGH AND 
CONTINUES TO BE 
SO HIGH. 
BACK WHEN THE 
UNEMPLOYMENT 
RATE WAS MUCH 
HIGHER A FEW 
MONTHS AGO, THEY 
SEEM TO SUSTAIN 
PRESSURE OF 
PEOPLE THAT NEED 
HELP AND IT 
DOESN'T APPEAR 
TO BE GOING 
ANYWHERE. 
IF THIS WERE TO 
END TOMORROW OR 
NEXT WEEK, THEY 
WOULD NEED TO BE 
ABLE TO FEED 
PEOPLE BECAUSE 
OF THE JOB 
MARKET, YOU SEE 
THE LAG WHERE IT 
TAKES A WHILE TO 
RECOVER, EVEN 
AFTER THINGS 
HAVE GONE BACK 
TO NORMAL OR 
GETTING BACK TO 
NORMAL. 
HERE IS WHAT HE 
SAID ABOUT WHAT 
THE NEED IS. 
LISTEN TO THIS. 
>> THE NEED 
SPIKED UP 
SIGNIFICANTLY 
RIGHT AWAY. 
PLUS 80% 
INCREASE 
DISTRIBUTION 
WHEN THE 
PANDEMIC FIRST 
STARTED. 
NOW WE ARE AT 
125% INCREASE ON 
FOOD ACQUISITION 
AND 
DISTRIBUTION. 
WE SEE IT AT 
THIS HISTORIC 
LEVEL FOR THE 
FOOD BANK. 
>> 125% 
INCREASE, YOU 
HEARD IT THERE 
OF THAT'S AN 
INCREDIBLE 
ASTRONOMICAL 
SPIKE THEY HAD 
TO DEAL WITH. 
THEY HAVE DONE 
IT EFFICIENTLY. 
BEHIND ME, WE 
ARE LIKE IN A 
WELL OILED 
MACHINE, YOU 
COULDN'T TELL 
1400 PEOPLE CAME 
THROUGH, BECAUSE 
THEY ARE SO 
EFFORT AT GOING 
DOING IT. 
THEY HAVE BEEN 
FEEDING PEOPLE 
FOR SO LONG, 
THEY KNOW HOW TO 
DO IT. 
HE IS SAYING  
THIS CAN 
CONTINUE FOR A 
LONG TIME. 
LUCKILY, WITH 
THEIR 
PARTNERSHIPS AT 
THE STATE, 
LOCAL, NATIONAL 
LEVEL, WITH THE 
VOLUNTEERS THAT 
HAVE STEPPED UP, 
WITH THE 
DONATIONS THAT 
HAVE STEPPED UP 
IN THIS 
PANDEMIC, THEY 
ARE ABLE TO 
SUSTAIN THIS 
AMOUNT OF 
PRESSURE. 
>> STEVE, THANK 
YOU SO MUCH I 
LOVE YOU 
HUMANIZING IT, 
THESE ARE MEAL 
FOR PEOPLE FOR 
THEIR FAMILIES, 
ANYTHING NORMAL, 
THAT'S GOING TO 
GET PEOPLE TO 
EAT, THEY NEED 
THESE THINGS. 
THANKS FOR YOUR 
REPORTING THERE.

THAT'S WHAT IT'S 
ABOUT SAVANNA, 
THANK YOU. 
>>> OVER 800 
CORONAVIRUS 
CASES HAVE BEEN 
REPORTED AT THE 
UNIVERSITY OF 
GEORGIA, THE 
ADMINISTRATION 
IS FULL STEAM 
AHEAD WITH IN 
PERSON LEARNING. 
ALLISON BARBER 
JOINS ME NOW. 
HOW ARE FACULTY 
MEMBERS ON 
CAMPUS? 
HOW ARE THEY 
FEELING? 
>> Reporter: 
THEY ARE VERY 
WORRIED. 
THIS IS A BIG 
EXPERIMENT, 
REGARDLESS OF 
WHAT 
ADMINISTRATOR WE 
TALK TO, ACROSS 
THE COUNTRY, 
THEY SAY THEY 
ARE IN FAVORITE 
OF BRINGING 
STUDENTS BACK ON 
CAMPUS AND 
HAVING IN PERSON 
CLASSES BUT 
ACKNOWLEDGEED 
THIS IS NOT 
RISKLESS, THE 
UNIVERSITY OF 
GEORGIA, THEY 
HAVE SEEN THEIR 
CASES GO UP AND 
PERCENT POSITIVE 
OF CASES WENT 
FROM 2% TO 5%, 
IN JUST ONE 
WEEK. 
THERE IS A 
CHANCE THERE IS 
CONCERN, 
PARTICULARLY 
AMONG FACULTY 
MEMBERS THOSE 
NUMBERS MIGHT 
NOT BE ENTIRELY 
ACCURATE BECAUSE 
THERE IS A LAG 
IN ANYTIME 
GETTING RESULTS 
AND REPORTS THAT 
STUDENTS THERE 
ARE GETTING 
COVID-19 TESTS 
OFF CAMPUS WHICH 
THEY ARE ABLE TO 
DO. 
WHEN THEY TAKE 
THE TESTS THEY 
ARE USING THEIR 
PARENTS 
INSURANCE AND 
THEIR PARENTS 
HOME ADDRESS.
THOSE MIGHT NOT 
BE SENT OVER TO 
BE TALLIED. 
HERE IS WHAT 
PROFESSIONALS 
ARE SAYING. 
>> Reporter: I 
HAVE SIGNIFICANT 
CONCERNS BECAUSE 
I BELIEVE THESE 
NUMBERS ARE 
QUITE 
CONSERVATIVE. 
IT'S A TIME LAG. 
THEY ARE OLD 
DATA AT THIS 
POINT. 
>> WHEN STUDENTS 
GO AND GET THE 
TEST DONE AND 
PAY FOR IT WITH 
THEIR PARENTS 
INSURANCE, IT'S 
TAKING THE 
ADDRESS ON FORM 
ATTRIBUTES THE 
COVID CASE TO 
THE PARENTS HOME 
COUNTY. 
AS ALARMING AS 
THE NUMBERS ARE, 
THEY SHOULD BE 
MORE ALARMING. 
>> Reporter: 
UBA'S PRESIDENT 
CALLED THAT

IN A STATE HE 
URGED STUDENTS

PEOPLE TO HEAD 
OUT FOR LABOR 
DAY ACTIVITIES 
TO BE EDUCATION 
TRA CAREFUL.

CAREFUL. 
>> WE TALKED 
ABOUT ANOTHER 
UNIVERSITY IN A 
DITCH STATE, THE 
UNIVERSITY OF 
ALABAMA, 1200 
CASES IN UNDER A 
MONTH. 
HOW MANY 
CORONAVIRUS 
CASES ARE TOO 
MANY FOR 
COLLEGES AND 
UNIVERSITIES? 
>> Reporter: YOU 
HAVE REPORTED ON 
SCHOOLS RE-
OPENING. 
IT IS SOMETIMES 
SO DIFFICULT TO 
JUST GET NUMBERS 
FROM A WILL OF 
THESE COLLEGES 
RE-OPENING 
BECAUSE THERE IS 
NO STANDARD WAY 
THAT ANYONE IS 
COUNTING OR 
REPORTING THE 
NUMBERS, 
SOMETIMES IT'S 
DIFFICULT TO GET 
INFORMATION FROM 
THE UNIVERSITIES 
AND COLLEGES AND 
THEN WHEN IT 
COMES TO GETTING 
WHAT THEIR TOP 
LINE IS, IF YOU 
WILL, TO WHERE 
THEY SAY ENOUGH 
IS ENOUGHS LET'S 
SEND STUDENTS 
HOME, I ASKED 
THAT QUESTION, 
MANY TIMES YOU 
DON'T GET A 
CONCRETE ANSWER. 
WE WILL MONITOR 
THE DATA DAY BY 
DAY AND REASSESS 
BUT IT'S HARD TO 
GET A CONCRETE 
NUMBER. 
IF YOU LOOK AT 
DIFFERENT 
SCHOOLS, I DON'T 
I THINK IT'S ANY 
CLEARER. 
ALABAMA HAS 
33,000 UNDER 
GRADUATES AND 
1200 STUDENTS 
WHO TESTED 
POSITIVE FOR 
COVID-19. 
THEY ARE 
CONTINUING WITH 
IN PERSON 
CLASSES AS FAR 
AS WE KNOW AND 
HAVE THO PLANS 
TO MOVE THINGS 
ONLINE. 
UNIVERSITY OF 
GEORGIA HAS 
30,000 UNDER 
GRADUATES, CLOSE 
TO HUNDRED 
STUDENTS 
CONTINUALLY 
POSITIVE WITH 
COVID-19, NO 
MANS TO CHANGE 
TO ONLINE 
LEARNING AND 
CONTINUING WITH 
IN PERSON CLASS 
CLASS. 
JAMES MADISON 
UNIVERSITY HAS 
22,000 STUDENTS 
AND 600 STUDENT 
CASES OF COVID-
19 BUT THEY ARE 
NOW MOVING 
EVERYTHING TO 
ONLINE STARTING 
ON MONDAY. 
JMU HAS BEEN 
OPEN ABOUT A 
MONTH LONGER 
THAN UGA AND 
ALABAMA, THEY 
HAVE LESS CASES 
BUT MAKING THE 
DECISION TO MOVE 
TO ONLINE, UGA 
AND ALABAMA, 
THEY ARE NOT. 
>> WE HAVE BEEN 
REPORTING THAT 
1200 NUMBER AT 
THE UNIVERSITY 
OF AL FOR A 
COUPLE OF DAYS. 
THERE ARE 33,000 
STUDENTS GOING 
TO CLASSES, THAT 
NUMBER IS LIKELY 
HIGHER AND WE 
JUST DON'T KNOW 
YET. 
LET'S TALK ABOUT 
HOLIDAY, YOU 
MENTIONED LABOR 
DAY WEEKEND, 
OBVIOUSLY A LOT 
OF PEOPLE 
LOOKING FORWARD 
TO IT. 
YOU CAN IMAGINE 
WHAT THAT IS 
GOING TO LOOK 
LIKE ON A 
COLLEGE CAMPUS. 
WHAT IS THE 
FEDERAL GUIDANCE 
FOR WHAT TO DO 
OVER THIS 
HOLIDAY WEEKEND? 
>> Reporter: DR. 
DEBORAH BIRX 
FROM THE WHITE 
HOUSE 
CORONAVIRUS TASK 
FORCE WAS 
TALKING ABOUT 
THIS YESTERDAY, 
SHE WAS IN 
MICHIGAN HAVING 
A MEETING WITH 
THE GOVERNOR, 
SHE TALKED 
DIRECTLY TO 
STUDENTS ABOUT 
LABOR DAY. 
>> EVERY 
UNIVERSITY 
STUDENT OUT 
THERE, IF YOU 
HAVE DONE 
SOMETHING THAT'S 
NOT SO GREAT AND 
SO SMART AND YOU 
HAVE BEEN IN A 
CROWD WITHOUT A 
MASK, YOU WILL 
LIKELY BECOME 
INFECTED, DO NOT 
GO HOME TO YOUR 
PARENTS OR 
GRANDPARENTS 
OVER LABOR DAY 
WEEKEND AND 
SPREAD THE VIRUS 
TO THEM. 
DO NOT GO OUT IN 
YOUR COMMUNITIES 
WITHOUT A MASK 
ON. 
FOR UNIVERSITY 
WHERE WE KNOW 
YOUNG ADULTS ARE 
OUT AND ABOUT, 
THEY NEED TO 
REALLY HAVE A 
TESTING THE 
STRATEGY. 
IF YOU FIND 200, 
THERE COULD BE 
2000 IN SOME OF 
THESE LARGE 
UNIVERSITIES. 
>> Reporter: YOU 
HEAR A LOT OF 
ADULTS IN POWER 
TALKING ABOUT 
THE NEED FOR 
STUDENTS TO DO 
MORE. 
RIGHTLY SO, IF 
THEY ARE GOING 
TO BARS, NOT GO 
TO BARS, TRY TO 
LIMIT GOING OUT. 
ONE THING THAT 
IS INTERESTING 
WHEN I WAS 
TALKING TO A 
PROFESSOR AT THE 
UNIVERSITY OF 
ALABAMA, HE 
FEELS LIKE THERE 
IS A SHIFTING 
BLAME TO THE 
STUDENTS. 
HE FELT LIKE 
THAT WAS WASN'T 
FAIR. 
HIS ART WAS IT 
IS UNREALISTIC 
IN HIS VIEW TO 
EXPECT YOUNG 
ADULTS 
PARTICULARLY 
WHEN THEY ARE IN 
A CONGREGATED 
COLLEGE-LIKE 
SETTING TO NOT 
SOCIALIZE WHEN 
THEY HAVE BEEN 
AT HOME FOR SO 
LONG AND THE 
ADULTS IN CHARGE 
SHOULD HAVE 
ANTICIPATED THAT 
BETTER IN HIS 
VIEW THEY 
SHOULDN'T HAVE 
BEEN BACK ON THE 
CAMPUS. 
HE FEELS LIKE 
WHAT WE ARE 
SEEING IS A BIT 
OF A SHIFT IN 
BLAME AND 
PUTTING IT IT 
MORE ON 
STUDENTS. 
HE DIDN'T FEEL 
LIKE IT'S FAIR. 
YOU ARE HEARING 
FROM DR. BIRKS 
AND OTHER 
ADMINISTRATORS, 
URGING YOUNG 
ADULTS AT 
COLLEGE TO MAKE 
SURE THEY ARE 
TAKING 
PRECAUTIONS TO 
CURTAIL THE 
OUTBREAKS THEY 
ARE SEEING. 
>> SOMETHING 
VALID TO POINT

ARE COUPED UP AT 
HOME, A LOT WITH 
FAMILIES AND 
PARENTS AND BACK

MUCH ARE WE 
EXPECTING HERE? 
THANK YOU FOR

ACCORDING TO 
THREE SOURCES

"WE'RE NOT GOING

HE WAS NEVER A 
FAN OF JOHN N

APPROVED THE  T
FUNERAL WITHOUT 
HESITATION OR 
COMPLAINT, 
CALLING A WELL 
DESERVED.

THE PRESIDENT 
AGAIN ATTACKING 
THE IDEA AND

YOU TELL US?

HERE IS WHAT HE 
SAID.

BALLOTS ARE A 
DISGRACE, AND 
THEY KNOW IT.

IN BALLOTS, 
OKAY? 
YOU CITED, AND 
YOU SEND IT IN.

GO VOTE.

CALLS FOR THE 
FIRING AND 
ARREST OF 
SEVERAL POLICE 
OFFICERS 
INVOLVED IN AN 
INCIDENT THAT 
LED TO THE DEATH 
OF A BLACK MAN 
IN ROCHESTER NEW 
YORK. 
PORTIONS OF THE 
BODY CAMERA 
VIDEO WAS JUST 
RELEASED 
YESTERDAY BY THE 
FAMILY. 
BEFORE WE SHOW 
YOU, A WARNING, 
PL
IT IS 
DISTURBING. 
THIS VIDEO FOR 
MARCH AND SHOWS 
POLICE OFFICERS 
PLACING A SPIT 
HOOD OVER 41-
YEAR-OLD DANIEL 
PRUDE BECAUSE HE 
SAID HE SEHAD 
COVID. 
THEY THEN 
PRESSED HIS FACE 
INTO THE 
PAVEMENT BEFORE 
HE WENT LIMP.  
THIS IS ONLY A 
PORTION OF THE 
POLICE BODY 
CAMERA VIDEO 
RELEASED BY THE AN
FAMILY. 
WE DO NOT KNOW 
WHAT HAPPENED 
BEFOREHAND. 
DANIEL PRUDE WAS 
TAKEN OFF LIFE 
SUPPORT SEVEN 
DAYS LATER. 
THE POLICE CHIEF 
WON'T COMMENT ON 
THE CAUSE NTADEPT 
AT THIS TIME 
BECAUSE OF TWO 
ONGOING 
INVESTIGATIONS 
INTO THE CASE 
AND A POTENTIAL 
LAWSUIT. 
STEPHANIE GOSS 
JOINS ME NOW. WH
STEPHANIE, WHAT 
DO WE KNOW ABOUT 
THE MOMENTS 
LEADING UP TO 
THE ENCOUNTER 
WITH POLICE? 
>> THE FIRST 
THING PEOPLE 
NEED TO KNOW AS 
THAT THIS DIDN'T 
HAPPEN JUST LAST 
WEEK. 
IT HAPPENED 
MONTHS AGO BACK 
IN MARCH. 
MARCH 23. YOU 
MAY KNOW THAT 
ROCHESTER IS IN 
UPSTATE NEW 
YORK. 
IT IS VERY COLD 
THAT TIME OF 
YEAR IN 
ROCHESTER. 
YOU SEE THIS MAN 
IN THE VIDEO 
RUNNING WITHOUT 
CLOTHING BEING 
APPREHENDED BY 
POLICE. 
WHAT WE KNOW IS 
THAT HIS BROTHER 
HAD CALLED 
POLICE FOR HELP, 
SAYING THAT 
DANIEL WAS 
ACTING 
ERRATICALLY. 
HE ALSO TOLD THE 
NEW YORK TIMES 
THAT A TRUCK 
DRIVER PHONED 
911 AS WELL, 
SAYING THERE WAS 
A MAN RUNNING 
AROUND SAYING HE 
HAD COVID. 
IN THE VIDEO, IT 
IS 11 MINUTES 
LONG AND EDITED, 
YOU SEE THE 
POLICE APPREHEND 
DANIEL PRUDE, 
PUT HANDCUFFS ON 
HIM AND THEN ORPUT 
THIS SPIT HOOD 
OVER HIS HEAD.  
ALSO IMPORTANT 
TO KEEP IN MIND 
IN MARCH T IN NEW 
YORK THERE WAS 
AN ENORMOUS 
SPIKE OF 
CORONAVIRUS IN 
THE STATE, 
PARTICULARLY IN 
NEW YORK CITY, 
BUT UPSTATE AS  
WELL. 
OFFICERS 
APPARENTLY 
CONCERNED ABOUT 
COVID, BUT THEN 
AFTER THAT, 
PRUDE IS FORCED 
TO THE GROUND. 
THERE IS A 
MOMENT WHEN AN 
OFFICER FOR TWO 
MINUTES HAS HIS 
HANDS AROUND HIS 
HEAD, HOLDING 
HIM DOWN. 
ANOTHER OFFICER 
IS KNEELING ON 
HIS BACK. 
LATER IN THE 
VIDEO, THE EMTS 
CALM AND PERFORM 
CPR ON HIM. 
HE IS THEN 
TRANSFERRED TO A 
HOSPITAL WHERE 
HE IS PUT ON 
LIFE SUPPORT AND 
DIED SEVEN DAYS 
LATER. 
WE NOW HAVE A 
COPY OF THE 
MEDICAL EXAMINER 
REPORT THAT 
CALLS THIS A 
HOMICIDE. 
ONE OF THE 
FACTORS IS A 
FIXATION, THE 
OTHER EXCITED 
DELIRIUM, STILL 
UNCLEAR WHAT 
THAT MEANS, AND 
THE OTHER IS 
INTOXICATION BY 
PCP, THAT HE WAS 
UNDER THE 
INFLUENCE OF PCP 
AT THE TIME. 
THE RELEASE OF 
THE VIDEO, AND 
SHOWS A VERY 
HEATED AND 
PASSIONATE 
REACTION FROM 
THE FAMILY. 
THEIR CALLING 
FOR THE REST OF 
THESE OFFICERS 
AND FOR MURDER %
CHARGES AGAINST 
THEM. 
YOU ALSO HAVE 
PROTESTSW  
INCLUDING 90 
ARREST 
YESTERDAY. 
THE ATTORNEY 
GENERAL OF THE 
STATE OF NEW 
YORK IS LOOKING 
KE
INTO THIS 
INCIDENT. 
SHE CALLS IT 
A 
TRAGEDY AND , NEADD 
THEY WILL 
INVESTIGATE IT 
LIKE THEY 
INVESTIGATE 
EVERYTHING, 
THOROUGHLY, AND 
IF CHARGES ARE 
NECESSARY, THERE 
WILL BE CHARGES. 
>> I KNOW YOU 
MENTIONED THIS, 
BUT LET'S TALK W,LK
MORE ABOUT THAT 
SPIT HOOD. 
WE KNOW HIS HEAD OU
WAS COVERED. 
WHAT MORE DO WE 
KNOW ABOUT THAT? 
>> IT IS A 
FAIRLY 
CONTROVERSIAL 
TACTIC THAT 
POLICE SOMETIMES 
USE. 
THERE HAVE BEEN 
PROBLEMS WITH IT 
IN THE PAST,
 BUT 
IN A %CASE  BEWHERE 
THE HOOD BEING 
PUT ON, OFFICERS 
HAD CONCERNS 
ABOUT 
CORONAVIRUS, 
THAT WILL BE A 
BIG PART OF THE 
INVESTIGATION, 
WHETHER IT 
NEEDED TO BE PUT 
ON. ALSO, A BIG 
PART OF THIS 
WILL BE HOW HE 
WAS ARRESTED AND 
DETAINED. 
ONE OF THE 
THINGS THAT IS 
IMPORTANT TO 
POINT OUT WITH 
THESE VIDEOS IN 
FACT, WHILE THEY 
DO SHOW A GOOD 
PORTION OF THE 
INCIDENT, THEY 
DON'T OFTEN HAVE . 
ALL THE CONTEXT 
OF WHAT WENT ON. 
THAT IS WHY THEY 
HAVE TO BE 
INVESTIGATED. 
THAT IS WHY 
SOMETIMES 
INVESTIGATIONS 
TAKE SOME TIME. 
THAT SPIT HOOD 
WILL CERTAINLY 
BE AT THE CENTER 
OF IT. 
>>   YOU AROWALSO 
MADE THE 
IMPORTANT NOTE 
AT THE BEGINNING 
OF THE 
CONVERSATION 
THAT THIS DIDN'T 
JUST HAPPEN LAST 
WEEK, THIS WAS >>
BACK IN MARCH. 
WHY ARE WE JUST 
NOW SEEING THE 
VIDEO? 
>> IT IS 
INTERESTING. 
THE ATTORNEY FOR 
THE FAMILY CALLED
FOR A FOIA, 
FREEDOM OF 
INFORMATION ACT RE
REQUEST, FOR THE 
VIDEO TO BE 'S
RELEASED. 
ONCE HE OBTAINED 
IT, WAS THEN 
RELEASED 
PUBLICLY BY THE 
CITY. 
THAT IS WHY EIWE 
ARE SEEING IT 
NOW. 
THE CITY ITSELF 
AND THE MAYOR 
HERSELF COMING 
UNDER FIRE FOR 
NOT DRAWING 
ATTENTION TO 
THIS CASE 
EARLIER ON. 
HOWEVER, THE 
ATTORNEY GENERAL 
WAS CALLED IN 
OVER CAERTHE SUMMER 
BY GOVERNOR 
ANDREW CUOMO TO 
DO THIS SPECIAL 
INVESTIGATION. 
AS WE HAVE SEEN 
OVER AND OVER 
AGAIN, IT IS THE 
VIDEO AND PEOPLE 
SEEING THE VIDEO 
THAT TRIGGERS ET
THE MOST 
PASSIONATE 
RESPONSE 
SOMETIMES. 
>> YOU HAVE TOLD 
US THAT THEY 
WILL BE 
INVESTIGATING 
THIS, THAT THE 
ATTORNEY GENERAL 
SAID THAT, WHAT 
ELSE DO WE KNOW 
FROM THE 
ROCHESTER 
POLICE, THE. 
ATTORNEY GENERAL 
ABOUT THE 
INVESTIGATION 
AND THE OFFICERS 
INVOLVED? 
>> WE HAVE 
REACHED OUT TO 
THE UNION FOR 
THE POLICE AND 
THEY HAVE TOHE
NOT 
RESPONDED BACK 
TO US. 
THE POLICE DON'T 
WANT TO SAY SU
ANYTHING RIGHT 
NOW ON THE  
RECORD WHILE THE 
INVESTIGATIONS 
ARE ONGOING, BUT 
THE FAMILY HAS 
CALLED FOR THE 
SUSPENSION OF OT
THESE OFFICERS. 
THEY WILL COME 
UNDER INCREASED 
PRESSURE 
PROBABLY TO 
SUSPEND IS 
OFFICERS AS A 
RESULT OF WHAT BE
HAPPENED THAT 
NIGHT. 
OTHERWISE, THERE 
HASN'T BEEN A 
LOT OF 
COMMUNICATION. 
NOW THEY HAVE A 
SITUATION WHERE  OT
YOU SAW PROTESTS 
YESTERDAY AND 
THERE WILL 
LIKELY BE MORE. 
THEY WANT 
OBVIOUSLY KEEP 
THOSE PEACEFUL.

SOARS DURING THE

TURN TO FOOD NY
BANKS FOR HELP. 
IN LOS ANGELES 
TODAY NEARLY 
2000 PEOPLE 
LINED UP FOR 
DONATIONS, MANY 
OF THEM THERE 
FOR THE FIRST 
TIME. 
STEPHEN 
PATTERSON JOINS 
ME NOW FROM 
WHERE THE FOOD 
BANK OPERATES. 
TELL US ABOUT 
WHAT YOU HAVE 
SEEN THERE 
TODAY. 
>> Reporter: A 
LOT OF THANKFUL 
FACES. 
PEOPLE THAT 
HAVE 
BEEN UNDERSERVED 
AND IN A HARD 
SITUATION 
BECAUSE OF THE RE
CODE OF DRIVERS. 
THE JOB REMARKET 
HAS REALLYEV YET 
TO FULLY RECOVER 
OR EVEN HALFWAY 
TO THAT TO 
REALLY BEING 
ABLE TO SAY THAT 
THINGS ARE BACK 
TO NORMAL. 
YOU CAN REALLY 
SEE THAT TODAY. 
ABOUT 1400 
PEOPLE CAME 
THROUGH HERE. 
THIS IS THE L.A. 
REGIONAL FOOD 
BANK. 
THEY HAVE BEEN 
DOING THIS 
REALLY SINCE NDTHE 
PANDEMIC STARTED
, SERVING 
HUNDREDS TO 
THOUSANDS OF 
PEOPLE AT ONE 
TIME. 
THE ESTIMATE 
THEY HAVE 
PROBABLY HANDED 
OUT SOME 90 
MILLION POUNDS 
OF FOOD JUST IN 
THE PANDEMIC 
ALONE. 
THAT EQUATES %TO 
ABOUT 5 MILLION 
MEALS. 
TODAY WAS NO 
DIFFERENT. 
WE SPOKE TO 
PEOPLE ONLINE. 
FOR A LOT . OF 
THEM IT WAS 
THEIR FIRST TIME 
GETTING 
ASSISTANCE LIKE 
THIS. 
OTHERS HAVE 
TAKEN ADVANTAGE 
OF IT BEFORE, 
BUT WERE 
SKIPPING MEALS, 
OR WERE EATING 
THINGS THAT D WERE 
IN THEIR CABINET 
LEFT OVER 
INSTEAD OF BEING 
ABLE TO COME 
AROUND THE TABLE 
AND HAVE A FULL 
MEAL. 
IN MANY CASES 
WITH THEIR 
CHILDREN OR 
GRANDMOTHER OR 
FAMILY. 
THIS REALLY GAVE 
THEM THE 
OPPORTUNITY TO R R 
DO THAT. THAT IS 
WHAT IS SO 
SPECIAL ABOUT 
THIS. 
UNFORTUNATELY, 
IT ALSO SPEAKS 
TO THE FACT THTHAT 
CORONAVIRUS IS 
STILL IN MANY ITTH
CASES SEARCHING, 
BUT ALSO 
SUPPRESSING 
REALLY A LOT OF UTE.
WHAT IS 
HAPPENING IN THE 
JOB MARKET HERE 
IN CALIFORNIA. 
THIS IS A MARKET 
THAT REALLY 
DEPENDS ON THE 
ENTERTAINMENT 
BUSINESS, 
TOURISM, 
HOSPITALITY AND 
A LOT OF THAT IS 
STILL SHUT DOWN 
THROUGHOUT THE 
STATE. 
YOU LOOK AT THE U AL
STATE, WE'RE 
HOVERING AT 
ABOUT 30% 
UNEMPLOYMENT 
RATE COMPARED TO 
THE REST OF  THE 
COUNTRY WHICH IS 
AT 10%. 
IN ELLIE COUNTY 
ALONE, IT IS AT 
ABOUT 17% 
UNEMPLOYMENT. 
COMPARING TO THE 
REST OF THE 
NATION, A LOT OF 
PEOPLE ARE STILL 
IN DIRE STRAITS 
HERE. 
THIS THANKFULLY 
IS ONE OF THOSE 
OPPORTUNITIES 
WHERE PEOPLE CAN 
GET SOMETHING TO 
EAT, PUT FOOD  ON 
THE TABLE FOR 
THEMSELVES AND 
THEIR FAMILY. 
IT WAS GOOD TO 
SEE THAT, BUT IT 
STILL SPEAKS TO 
THE FACT THAT 
THINGS ARE  STILL 
BAD HERE WHEN IT 
COMES TO THE JOB 
MARKET. 
>> I LOVE THE 
WAY YOU JUST PUT 
THAT, HUMANIZING 
IT, IT IS Y NOT 
JUST THE CRATES 
OF BOXES BEHIND 
IT, IT IS PEOPLE 
HAVING THE 
OPPORTUNITY TO 
HAVE A MEAL WITH 
HER FAMILY. 
I KNOW YOU SPOKE 
WITH THE CEO OF 
THE L.A. 
FOOD BANK. 
WHAT DID HE TELL 
YOU? 
TRUCK HE WAS 
OPTIMISTIC ABOUT 
WHAT THEY HAVE 
BEEN ABLE BOTO DO 
AND WHAT THEY 
CAN CONTINUE TO 
DO. 
BUT AGAIN, HE 
SAID BASICALLY 
THEY HAVE BEEN 
GOING NONSTOP 
SINCE THIS 
STARTED IN A 
WAY 
IN WHICH IS VERY 
DRAMATIC. 
A LEVEL AT WHICH 
WE REALLY 
HAVEN'T SEEN 
SINCE THE GREAT 
RECESSION IN 
2008, BUT TOEVEN 
NOW BEYOND THAT, 
JUST BECAUSE OF 
THE LEVEL OF 
NEED IS SO HIGH 
AND CONTINUES TO 
BE SO HIGH. 
BACK WHEN THE 
DEPLOYMENT RATE 
WAS EVEN MUCH 
HIGHER A FEW 
MONTHS AGO, THEY 
STILL SEE 
SUSTAINED 
PRESSURE OF 
PEOPLE THAT NEED 
HELP. 
IT DOESN'T 
APPEAR TO BE 
GOING ANYWHERE. 
EVEN IF THIS 
WERE TO END 
TOMORROW AND 
NEXT WEEK, THEY 
WILL STILL NEED 
TO BE ABLE TO 
FEED PEOPLE 
BECAUSE WE SEE A 
LAG E WHERE IT 
TAKES A WHILE TO 
RECOVER EVEN 
AFTER THINGS 
HAVE GONE 
ESSENTIALLY BACK 
TO NORMAL OR ARE 
GETTING BACK TO 
NORMAL. 
HERE IS WHAT HE 
SAID ABOUT WHAT 
THE NEED IS. 
>> THE NEED HAS 
SPIKED 
SIGNIFICANTLY 
RIGHT AWAY. 
PLUS 80% 
INCREASE 
DISTRIBUTION 
WHEN THE 
PANDEMIC FIRST 
START IT, NOW 
WE'RE AT 125% 
INCREASE ON  FOOD 
ACQUISITION AND 
DISTRIBUTION. 
WE SEE IT AT 
THIS HISTORIC 
THE L FOR 
FOOD BANK. 
>> Reporter: 
125% INCREASE. 
YOU HEARD IT 
THERE. 
THAT IS AN ENME
INCREDIBLE 
ASTRONOMICAL 
SPIKE THAT THEY 
HAD TO DEAL 
WITH. 
BUT THEY HAVE 
DONE IT REALLY 
EFFICIENTLY. A 
BEHIND IT, THIS 
RAN LIKE A WELL 
OILED MACHINE. 
YOU COULD NOT  A
TELL THE 40 
PEOPLE CAME 
THROUGH BECAUSE 
THEY WERE SO 
EFFICIENT. 
THEY DO IT OP
SEVERAL TIMES A 
WEEK. 
THEY HAVE BEEN 
FEEDING PEOPLE 
FOR SO LONG THAT 
THEY ESSENTIALLY 
KNOW HOW TO DO 
A. BUT AGAIN, HE 
IS SAYING THIS 
CAN CONTINUE FOR 
A VERY LONG 
TIME. 
LUCKILY, WITH 
THEIR 
PARTNERSHIPS 
BOTH AT THE 
STATE, LOCAL %AND 
NATIONAL LEVEL, 
AND THEN WITH 
THE VOLUNTEERS 
THAT HAVE 
STEPPED UP, WITH 
THE DONATIONS IN
THAT HAVE 
STEPPED UP, 
THERE ABLE TO 
SUSTAIN THIS 
PRESSURE. 
>> THANK YOU SO 
MUCH. 
AGAIN, I JUST 
LOVE YOU 
HUMANIZING IT 
AND MAKING US 
POINT OUT THAT 
THESE ARE MEALS 
FOR PEOPLE TO 
HAVE WITH  THEIR 
FAMILIES. 
ANYTHING THAT 
WILL GET PEOPLE 
THROUGH, THEY 
NEED TO EAT AND 
THEY NEED THESE 
THINGS. 
THANKS FOR YOUR 
REPORTING. 
>>> OVER 800 
CORONAVIRUS 
CASES HAVE BEEN 
REPORTED AT THE 
UNIVERSITY OF 
GEORGIA, BUT THE 
ADMINISTRATION 
IS FULL STEAM 
AHEAD WITH IN 
PERSON LEARNING. 
ALLISON BARBER 
JOINS ME NOW. 
HOW WORRIED OUR 
FACULTY MEMBERS 
ON CAMPUS? 
>> Reporter: 
THEY ARE VERY 
WORRIED. 
THIS IS ALL A 
BIG EXPERIMENT. 
REGARDLESS OF 
WHAT 
ADMINISTRATOR WE 
TALK TO, WE HAVE 
SPOKEN TO A LOT 
WHO ANECDOTALLY 
ACROSS THE 
COUNTRY WILL SAY 
THERE ARE IN 
FAVOR OF 
BRINGING  
STUDENTS BACK ON 
CAMPUS AND 
HAVING IN PERSON 
CLASSES, BUT 
THEY HAVE 
ACKNOWLEDGED 
THAT THIS IS NOT 
WITHOUT RISK. 
THE UNIVERSITY 
OF GEORGIA HAVE 
SEEN THEIR CASES 
GO UP AND 
PERCENT POSITIVE 
OF CASES WENT 
FROM 2% UP TO 5% 
IN JUST ONE WEEK.
THERE IS ALSO A 
CHANCE, THERE'S 
CONCERN 
PARTICULARLY 
AMONG FACULTY 
MEMBERS, THAT 
THESE NUMBERS 
MIGHT NOT BE 
ENTIRELY 
ACCURATE BECAUSE 
THERE IS A LAG 
IN TIME JUST TH
GETTING RESULTS. 
THE HAVE ALSO 
BEEN REPORTS 
THAT STUDENTS 
ARE GETTING 
COVID-19 TESTS 
OFF-CAMPUS, 
WHICH THEY'RE 
ABLE TO DO, BUT 
WHEN THEY TAKE 
THE TEST, THEY 
ARE USING THEIR 
PARENTS 
INSURANCE, AND 
SOMETIMES USING 
THEIR PARENTS 
ADDRESS, SO 
THERE IS CONCERN 
PERHAPS THOSE 
CASES MIGHT 
NOT 
BE SENT OVER TO 
BE COUNTED IN 
THE TALLY. 
>> I HAVE 
SIGNIFICANCES 
URNS BECAUSE I 
BELIEVE THESE 
NUMBERS ARE 
ACTUALLY QUITE 
CONSERVATIVE. 
THE TIME LAGSVA . 
IT IS ALL DATA 
AT THIS POINT. 
>> WORSTED IS 
GOING GET THE 
TEST DONE AND 
PAY FOR IT WITH 
THEIR PARENTS 
INSURANCE, IT IS 
TAKING THE 
ADDRESS FROM THE E 
FORM WHICH 
ATTRIBUTES THE 
COVID CASE TO 
THE  PARENTS HOME  
COUNTY, NOT 
ATHENS. 
AN ALARMING 
NUMBER TODAY FOR 
ATHENS COUNTY IN 
THE LAST SEVERAL 
DAYS. 
IT SHOULD BE 
MORE ALARMING. 
>> Reporter: THE 
UGA PRESIDENT 
CALLED THE 
RECENT JOB 
CONCERNING. 
IN A STATEMENT, 
HE URGED 
STUDENTS TO 
RESIST THE 
TEMPTATION TO 
ORGANIZE OR 
T TEND A LARGE 
SOCIAL GATHERING 
. HE IS ALSO 
ASKED PEOPLE 
HEADING OUT FOR 
THE LABOR DAY 
WEEKEND 
ACTIVITIES TO BE 
EXTRA CAREFUL. 
>> YESTERDAY WE 
TALKED ABOUT 
ANOTHER 
UNIVERSITY IN A 
DIFFERENT STATE, 
THE UNIVERSITY 
OF ALABAMA, WITH 
1200 CASES IN 
>>
JUST UNDER A 
MONTH. 
HOW MANY 
CORONAVIRUS 
CASES ARE TOO 
MANY FOR 
COLLEGES AND REU 
UNIVERSITIES? 
>> Reporter: YOU 
HAVE REPORTED ON 
SCHOOLS REOPENED  
AS WELL. 
I KNOW YOU KNOW 
THIS, BUT IT IS 
SOMETIMES SO 
DIFFICULT TO 
JUST GET NUMBERS  
FROM A LOT OF 
THESE COLLEGES 
THAT ARE 
REOPENING 
BECAUSE THERE IS 
WAY TANDARD 
THAT ANYONE IS 
REPORTING THEIR 
NUMBERS. 
SOMETIMES IT IS 
DIFFICULT TO GET 
INFORMATION FROM 
THESE 
UNIVERSITIES AND 
COLLEGES, AND 
THEN WHEN IT 
COMES TO GETTING 
KIND OF WHAT 
THEIR TOP 
LINE IS
WHERE THEY SAY 
ENOUGH IS 
ENOUGH, LET'S 
STAND STUDENTS 
HOME, I HAVE 
ASKED THAT 
QUESTION TOO 
MANY 
ADMINISTRATORS, 
ANIMUS EVERY 
TIME YOU NEVER 
GET A CONCRETE 
ANSWER. 
THEY WILL SAY WE 
ARE GOING TO  R.%LE 
THE DATA DRIVER 
DECISIONS, WE 
WILL MONITOR THE 
DATA DAY BY DAY 
AND REASSESS. 
IT IS HARD TO 
GET ANY CLEAR 
NUMBER. 
JUST SOME 
EXAMPLES FOR 
YOU. 
IF YOU LOOK AT A OL%
COUPLE LLDIFFERENT 
SCHOOLS. 
I THINK IS WORTH 
LOOKING AT. 
UNIVERSITY OF 
ALABAMA HAS 
AROUND 33,000 
UNDERGRADUATES. 
THERE ARE 1200 
STUDENTS AT 
LEAST OUTO HAVE 
TESTED POSITIVE 
FOR COVID-19. 
THEY ARE 
CONTINUING WITH 
IN PERSON 
CLASSES AS FAR 
AS WE KNOW AND 
HAVE NO PLANS TO 
MOVE THINGS 
ENTIRELY ONLINE. 
UNIVERSITY OF 
GEORGIA HAS 
ABOUT 30,000 
UNDERGRADUATES, 
CLOSE TO 800 
STUDENTS 
CURRENTLY 
POSITIVE WITH 
COVID-19. 
SAME THING. 
NO PLANS TO 
CHANGE TO ONLINE 
LEARNING. 
THEY ARE 
CONTINUING WITH 
IN PERSON 
CLASSES. 
BUT JAMES 
MADISON 
UNIVERSITY HAS 
22,000 STUDENTS NGI 
AND ABOUT 600 
STUDENT CASES OF 
COVID-19, BUT  
THEY ARE NOW 
MOVING 
EVERYTHING TO 
ONLINE STARTING 
ON MONDAY. EY
THEY HAVE BEEN 
OPEN LONGER THAN 
UGA AND ALABAMA. 
THEY HAVE LESS 
CASES, BUT THEY 
ARE MAKING THE 
DECISION TO MOVE 
TO ONLINE. 
UGA AND ALABAMA 
ARE NOT. 
>> I ALSO THINK 
IT IS WORTH 
NOTING THAT WE 
HAVE NOWT  BEEN 
REPORTING THAT 
1200 NUMBER AT 
THE UNIVERSITY 
OF ALABAMA FOR A 
COUPLE OF DAYS. 
YOU POINTED OUT 
THERE 33,000 
STUDENTS STILL 
GOING TO 
CLASSES. 
THAT NUMBER IS 
LIKELY HIGHER BY E
NOW, AND WE UP
WEJUST 
DON'T KNOW YET. 
YOU MENTION %
LABOR DAY 
WEEKEND. 
OBVIOUSLY, A LOT 
OF PEOPLE 
LOOKING FORWARD 
TO A. YOU AG
CAN 
IMAGINE WHAT 
THAT WILL LOOK 
LIKE ON A 
COLLEGE CAMPUS. 
WHAT IS THE 
FEDERAL GUIDANCE 
FOR WHAT TO DO 
OVER THE HOLIDAY 
WEEKEND? 
>> Reporter: DR. 
DEBBIS BIRX FROM 
THE CORONAVIRUS 
TASK FORCE WAS 
ACTUALLY TALKING 
ABOUT THIS 
YESTERDAY. 
SHE WAS IN IN
MICHIGAN HAVING 
A MEETING WITH 
THE GOVERNOR 
THERE. 
AND SHE WAS 
TALKING TO 
REPORTERS, SHE LY
SPOKE DIRECTLY 
TO STUDENTS 
ABOUT LABOR BOR DAY 
>> EVERY 
UNIVERSITY 
STUDENT OUT 
THERE, IF YOU 
HAVE DONE 
SOMETHING THAT 
IS NOT SO GREAT 
AND SO SMART AND 
YOU BEEN IN A 
CROWD WITHOUT A 
MASS, YOU WILL 
LIKELY BECOME 
INFECTED. 
DO NOT GO HOME 
TO YOUR PARENTS  
OR YOUR 
GRANDPARENTS 
OVER LABOR DAY 
WEEKEND AND 
SPREAD THE VIRUS 
TO THEM. 
DO NOT GO OUT IN 
YOUR COMMUNITIES 
WITHOUT A MASK 
ON. 
FOR 
UNIVERSITIES, 
WHERE WE KNOW 
YOUNG ADULTS ARE 
OUT AND ABOUT, 
THEY NEED TO 
REALLY HAVE A 
TESTING STRATEGY 
BECAUSE IF YOU 
FIND 200, THERE 
COULD BE 2070S 
LARGE 
UNIVERSITIES. 
>> Reporter: IT 
IS INTERESTING 
TO NOTE THAT YOU 
HEAR A LOT OF 
ADULTS EMPOWER 
TALKING ABOUT 
THE NEED FOR 
STUDENTS TO DO 
MORE TSTO NOT GO 
TO BARS WHERE 
THEY CAN'T 
SOCIALLY 
DISTANCE, LIMIT 
GOING OUT. 
ONE THING THAT 
IS INTERESTING 
WHAT I WAS 
TALKING TO THINONE 
OF THE 
PROFESSORS THE 
OTHER DAY, HE  
TOLD ME HE FELT 
LIKE THERE IS A 
BIT OF A SHIFT 
IN BLAME BEING 
PLACED ON 
STUDENTS AND NOT 
THE 
COLLEGES AND 
UNIVERSITIES 
HAVING THESE 
OUTBREAKS. 
HE FELT LIKE 
THAT WAS UNFAIR. 
HIS ARGUMENT WAS 
THAT IT IS  C 
UNREALISTIC TO 
EXPECT YOUNG 
ADULTS 
PARTICULARLY 
WHEN THEY ARE IN RT
A CONGREGATED 
COLLEGE LIKE 
SETTING TO LINOT 
SOCIALIZE WITH 
AND BEEN AT HOME 
FOR SO LONG. 
IT IS THE ADULTS 
IN CHARGE WHO 
SHOULD HAVE TT
ANTICIPATED THEIR
VIEW. 
EITHER WAY, HE 
SAID HE FEELS 
LIKE WHAT WE'RE 
SEEING RIGHT NOW 
IS A BIT OF A 
SHIFT IN BLAME 
AND PUTTING IT 
MORE ON 
STUDENTS. 
HE DIDN'T FEEL 
LIKE IT WAS 
FAIR. 
OBVIOUSLY YOUR 
HEALING FROM 
OTHERS URGING 
YOUNG ADULTS TO 
MAKE SURE THEY 
ARE TAKING EXTRA 
PRECAUTIONS. 
>> DEFINITELY 
SOMETHING VALID 
TO POINT OUT. 
STUDENTS HAVE 
BEEN COOPED UP 
AT HOME. 
A LOT OF THEM 
WITH THEIR 
FAMILIES. 
NOW THEY'RE BACK 
AT SCHOOL. HOW 
MUCH DO WE 
EXPECT? 
THANK YOU SO 
MUCH FOR

WIDESPREAD 
CORONAVIRUS 
VACCINATIONS 
UNTIL MID-20 21, 
STRESSING THE 
IMPORTANCE OF 
CHECKING THE 
EFFECTIVENESS 
AND SAFETY OF 
VACCINE 
CANDIDATES. 
RUSSIA'S 
CORONAVIRUS 
VACCINE HAS BEEN 
PRODUCING ANTI-
BODY RESULTS IN 
EARLY STAGE 
TRIALS, 
ACCORDING TO 
RESULTS 
PUBLISHED IN THE 
LANCET MEDICAL 
JOURNAL. %%
IN THE U.S., 
PFIZER HAS SAID 
IT COULD HAVE A 
VACCINE READY 
FOR DISTRIBUTION 
AS EARLY AS LATE 
OCTOBER. 
STILL, 
SCIENTISTS 
AROUND THE WORLD  A,
ARE CALLING FOR 
DATA TO BE 
SHARED AND 
CAREFULLY 
REVIEWED, TO GET 
A CLEAR SIGNAL 
OF WHETHER 
VACCINE 
CANDIDATES TRULY 
WORK. %
TODAY, THEY 
FOCUSED ON HOW 
TO DECIDE WHO 
GETS THE VACCINE 
FIRST, ONCE WE 
HAVE ONE. 
>> IN TIME, AS 
PRODUCTION 
INCREASES, WE 
WANT ALL PEOPLE 
EVERYWHERE 
TO 
HAVE ACCESS TO 
VACCINES. YW
BUT INITIALLY, 
WHEN SATELLITE IS
 LIMITED, 
PRIORITY MUST BE 
GIVEN TO 
VACCINATING 
ESSENTIAL 
WORKERS AND 
THOSE MOST AT 
RISK. IA
INCLUDING OLDER 
PEOPLE AND THOSE 
WITH UNDERLYING 
CONDITIONS. 
IN OTHER WORDS, 
THE FIRST 
PRIORITY MUST BE 
TO VACCINATE 
SOME PEOPLE IN 
ALL COUNTRIES, 
RATHER THAN ALL 
PEOPLE IN SOME 
COUNTRIES. L 
,
>> Reporter: 
MONTHS INTO THE 
PANDEMIC, NO 
DOUBT, SAVANNAH, 
THAT REMAINS ONE 
OF THE BIGGEST 
QUESTIONS WE ALL 
HAVE, WHEN WILL 
A SAFE VACCINE 
BE WIDELY 
AVAILABLE? 
>> CERTAINLY IS 
ONE OF THE BIG 
QUESTIONS ON ALL 
OF OUR MINDS, 
JOE. 
THANKS FOR THOSE 
UPDATES. 
AND WE WILL SEE 
YOU IN ABOUT AN 
HOUR. 
>>> JACOB BLAKE, 
THE BLACK MAN 
SHOT IN THE BACK 
BY POLICE IN 
KENOSHA, 
WISCONSIN, 
APPEARED IN 
COURT TODAY, VIA 
VIDEO. 
HE'S BEEN 
RECOVERING IN 
THE HOSPITAL 
AFTER BEING SHOT 
EVEN SHOT SEVEN 
TIMES. 
HE'S ACCUSED OF 
THIRD-DEGREE 
SEXUAL ASSAULT 
AND DOMESTIC 
ABUSE. 
AND PROSECUTORS 
FILED CHARGES 
BEFORE THE 
SHOOTING. 
NBC NEWS 
CORRESPONDENT, 
GABE GUTIERREZ 
JOINS ME NOW. 
SO GABE, WE'VE 
COME TO KNOW THE 
NAME JACOB BLAKE 
BECAUSE OF THE 
OUTRAGE 
FOLLOWING THE 
OFFICER-INVOLVED 
SHOOTING. 
BUT THIS WASN'T 
ABOUT THAT. 
IT'S ABOUT 
CHARGES FROM 
EARLIER THIS 
YEAR. 
TELL US WHAT WE 
KNOW ABOUT THAT? 
>> HI THERE, 
SAVANNAH. 
YES. 
A SHORT TIME 
AGO, JACOB BLAKE 
MADE HIS FIRST 
PUBLIC 
APPEARANCE, 
SINCE BEING SHOT 
MULTIPLE TIMES 
BY THAT KENOSHA 
POLICE OFFICER. 
HE APPEARED AT A 
COURT HEARING, 
VIA ZOOM, FROM 
HIS OWN HOSPITAL 
BED. 
NOW, THE HEARING 
ITSELF WAS 
LARGELY 
PROCEDURAL. 
BUT IT WAS THE 
FIRST TIME WE 
HAD ACTUALLY 
SEEN JACOB 
BLAKE. 
HE WORE A SHIRT 
AND TIE. 
AND HE ANSWERED 
SEVERAL 
QUESTIONS 
BRIEFLY, WHEN 
THE JUDGE ASKED. 
AND WHETHER HE 
UNDERSTOOD WHAT 
IT MEANT TO 
WAIVE HIS 
PRELIMINARY 
HEARING. 
SO HE DID THAT. 
HE ALSO PLEADED 
NOT GUILTY TO 
CHARGES THAT YOU 
MENTIONED. 
A CHARGE OF 
THIRD-DEGREE, 
SEXUAL ASSAULT, 
AS WELL AS 
CHARGES OF 
DISORDERLY 
CONDUCT AND 
CRIMINAL 
TRESPASS, 
RELATED TO 
DOMESTIC ABUSE. 
ALLEGEDLY, 
ACCORDING TO THE 
CRIMINAL 
COMPLAINT, BACK 
IN JULY, HE WENT 
AND ACCORDING TO 
THE COMPLAINT, 
SEXUALLY 
ASSAULTED A 
WOMAN HE KNEW. 
THEN HE'S 
ACCUSED OF 
TAKING HER DEBIT 
CARD IN HER 
VEHICLE AS WELL. 
NOW, THIS IS THE 
OUTSTANDING 
WARRANT THAT WAS 
IN EFFECT WHEN 
POLICE OFFICERS 
RESPONDED TO THE 
SCENE, A SHORT 
TIME AGO. 
A LITTLE MORE 
THAN 10 DAYS 
AGO. 
AND THE 
ALTERCATION 
HAPPENED WHERE 
HE WAS SHOT 
MULTIPLE TIMES 
IN THE BACK. 
NOW, AS A RESULT 
OF THIS 
PRELIMINARY 
HEARING, 
PROSECUTORS 
ASKED FOR A 
$10,000 BOND. 
AND THAT IS UP 
FROM THE $500 
BOND THAT HE 
PAID SEVERAL 
DAYS AGO, 
SAVANNAH, YOU'LL 
REMEMBER THAT HE 
HAD BEEN 
HANDCUFFED TO 
HIS HOSPITAL BED 
BECAUSE THAT 
BOND HAD NOT 
BEEN PAID. 
ONCE IT WAS 
PAID, THEN HE 
WAS RELEASED 
FROM THOSE 
SHACKLES. 
BUT HE REMAINS 
IN THE HOSPITAL. 
HIS CONDITION. 
AGAIN, THIS IS 
THE FIRST TIME 
WE SEE HIM. 
BUT HE WAS ABLE 
TO SPEAK TO THE 
JUDGE. 
ALSO, HE HAD 
PREVIOUSLY 
SPOKEN EARLIER 
THIS WEEK, TO 
VICE PRESIDENT 
BIDEN. 
BUT THIS IS THE 
FIRST TIME WE 
HAD ACTUALLY 
SEEN HIM THROUGH 
ZOOM, ABLE TO, 
YOU KNOW, BE A 
PART OF THIS 
COURT HEARING. 
SAVANNAH? 
>> SO WHAT'S 
NEXT HERE IN 
THIS CASE, AFTER 
HAVING SEEN HIM 
IN COURT VIA 
VIDEO TODAY? 
>> Reporter: 
WELL, WITH 
REGARDS TO THIS 
CASE, YOU KNOW, 
THAT ONE WILL 
PLAY OUT IN THE 
COMING WEEKS AND 
MONTHS. 
BUT THE LARGER 
QUESTION IS, 
WHAT HAPPENED TO 
-- WHAT HAPPENS 
TO THE CASES 
INVOLVING THE 
OFFICERS, IF 
THERE'S ONE AT 
ALL? 
THE STATE 
AUTHORITIES IN 
WISCONSIN, 
DEPARTMENT OF 
CRIMINAL 
INVESTIGATION 
AND THE STATE'S 
ATTORNEY 
GENERAL. 
THEY SAY THAT 
THEY HAVE 
CONDUCTED MORE 
THAN 88 
INTERVIEWS SO 
FAR IN THAT 
CASE. 
AND THEY PLAN TO 
PRESENT THE 
REPORT IN THAT 
CASE TO THE 
LOCAL DISTRICT 
ATTORNEY, WITHIN 
THE NEXT 30 
DAYS. 
CERTAINLY MANY 
PEOPLE IN 
WISCONSIN, IN 
THE KENOSHA 
AREA, ARE 
DEMANDING 
CHARGES AGAINST 
THE OFFICERS. 
BUT IT'S STILL 
UNCLEAR WHETHER 
THAT WILL 
HAPPEN. 
PRESIDENT TRUMP 
VISITING KENOSHA 
EARLIER THIS 
WEEK, MAKING IT 
ESSENTIAL PART 
OF HIS CAMPAIGN 
OF LAW AND 
ORDER. 
SO CERTAINLY 
THIS IS THE CASE 
THAT IS BEING 
WATCHED, NOT 
JUST IN 
WISCONSIN, 
OBVIOUSLY, BUT 
AROUND THE 
COUNTRY. 
STILL A LOT OF 
QUESTIONS, 
THOUGH, GOING 
FORWARD, ABOUT 
WHAT WILL HAPPEN 
OVER THE NEXT 30 
DAYS. 
AND WHETHER 
THOSE OFFICERS 
MIGHT FACE ANY 
CHARGES. 
BUT AGAIN, 
TODAY, WE SAW 
JACOB BLAKE, FOR 
THE FIRST TIME 
IN HIS FIRST 
PUBLIC 
APPEARANCE 
THROUGH ZOOM, AS 
HE WAS PART OF 
THAT PRELIMINARY 
HEARING, PART OF 
THAT COURT 
HEARING, WHERE 
HE WAIVED HIS 
RIGHT TO A 
PRELIMINARY 
HEARING. 
WITH REGARDS TO 
THE CRIMINAL 
CHARGES AGAINST 
HIM. 
AGAIN, HE 
PLEADED NOT 
GUILTY TO THEM. 
>> ALL RIGHT, 
GABE. 
THANKS SO MUCH. 
>> YOU BET. 
>>> POLICE IN 
NEW YORK CITY 
ARE SEARCHING 
FOR THE DRIVER 
WHO RAMMED 
THROUGH A CROWD 
OF PROTESTORS IN 
TIMES SQUARE. 
WE'RE GOING TO 
PLAY VIDEO OF 
THAT HAPPENING 
LAST NIGHT. 
BUT I WANT TO 
WARN YOU, IT IS 
SHOCKING TO 
WATCH. 
THIS VIDEO SHOWS 
A BLACK SEDAN 
GOING THROUGH 
THE CROWD OF 
PROTESTORS. 
THANKFULLY, NO 
ONE WAS 
SERIOUSLY HURT. 
PROTESTORS WERE 
THERE IN 
RESPONSE TO THE 
DEATH OF DANIEL 
PRUDE, THE BLACK 
MAN THAT DIED 
AFTER AN 
INCIDENT WITH 
POLICE. 
THIS IS PART OF 
THE BODY CAMERA 
VIDEO OF THE 
MARCH INCIDENT 
IN ROCHESTER, 
NEW YORK. 
NOW, THIS VIDEO 
WAS RELEASED BY 
PRUDE'S FAMILY. 
AND WE DO NOT 
KNOW WHAT 
HAPPENED IN THE 
MOMENTS BEFORE. 
NBC NEWS 
CORRESPONDENT, 
KATHY PARK JOINS 
ME NOW, FROM 
ROCHESTER. 
NOW, KATHY, THE 
OFFICERS 
INVOLVED HAVE 
BEEN SUSPENDED 
WITH PAY. 
WHAT'S THE 
LATEST GOING ON 
IN ROCHESTER 
TODAY? 
>> WELL, 
SAVANNAH. 
I CAN TELL YOU 
THAT WE ACTUALLY 
JUST MOMENTS AGO 
HEARD FROM THE 
MAYOR 
REPRESENTING, OR 
ACTUALLY, THE 
LAWYER 
REPRESENTING THE 
MAYOR. 
AND THEY KIND OF 
GAVE US A BETTER 
TIME LINE OF HOW 
HE WAS ABLE TO 
BETTER OBTAIN 
THE FOOTAGE AND 
JUST KIND OF 
WHAT PLAYED OUT 
AFTER THAT. 
SO APPARENTLY 
SHE GOT THE BODY 
CAM FOOTAGE 
AROUND AUGUST 
4th. 
BUT REALLY, WAS 
TOLD NOT TO 
RELEASE IT TO 
THE PUBLIC UNDER 
DISCRETION OF 
THE ATTORNEY 
GENERAL WHO IS 
THE LEAD ON THE 
INVESTIGATION. 
AND IT WAS UP TO 
FAMILY, 
ESSENTIALLY, TO 
RELEASE THAT 
FOOTAGE. 
AND OF COURSE, 
THEY DID THIS 
WEEK. 
MEANTIME, HERE 
ON THE GROUND, 
IT'S BEEN 
RELATIVELY 
PEACEFUL. 
THERE WERE 
RALLIES EARLY ON 
IN THE WEEK 
OVERNIGHT. 
IT GOT A LITTLE 
TENSE WHEN WE 
SAW POLICE AS 
WELL AS 
PROTESTORS, 
CLASHING, RIGHT 
IN FRONT OF THE 
POLICE SAFETY 
BUILDING HERE. 
THIS IS THE 
POLICE 
DEPARTMENT AS 
WELL AS A PUBLIC 
SAFETY BUILDING. 
AND IT WAS 
SEVERAL HOURS 
INTO THE NIGHT, 
AS WELL AS INTO 
THE MORNING. 
AND THERE WAS A 
POINT WHEN THEY 
HAD TO DEPLOY 
PEPPER BALLS. 
AND WE SAW 
FOOTAGE OF SOME 
OF THE DEM 
STRAIRLTS ACTUAL 
-- DEMONSTRATORS 
ACTUALLY PUSHING 
IN SOME OF THE 
BARRICADES. 
SO IT DEFINITELY 
GOT TENSE. 
WE WERE TOLD 
THERE WERE 
SEVERAL ARRESTS 
THAT WERE MADE, 
IN TOTAL. 
EIGHT PEOPLE 
WERE ARRESTED 
AND TWO OFFICERS 
WERE INJURED. 
AND WE HAVE 
LEARNED THAT 
THERE MAY BE 
MORE 
DEMONSTRATIONS 
PLAYING OUT 
TONIGHT AS WELL, 
SAVANNAH. 
>> NOW, HAVE WE 
LEARNED ANYTHING 
NEW ABOUT THOSE 
OFFICERS THAT 
WERE SUSPENDED? 
>> Reporter: NOT 
ANYTHING MORE 
THAN WHAT WE 
LEARNED 
YESTERDAY. 
SO THE MAYOR 
SUSPENDED IN 
TOTAL, SEVEN 
OFFICERS WITH 
PAY. 
BUT SHE DID NOT 
RELEASE THE 
NAMES OF THOSE 
OFFICERS. 
BUT WE DID HEAR 
FROM THE POLICE 
UNION, WHO 
DEFENDED THE 
ACTIONS OF ITS 
MEMBERS AND HE 
IS SAYING 
ACTUALLY, I 
THOUGHT THAT WAS 
INTERESTING IS 
THAT ONE OFFICER 
WHO WAS 
SUSPENDED WASN'T 
EVEN ON SITE, 
ACCORDING TO THE 
POLICE UNION, 
DURING THE 
ARREST. 
SO THERE ARE A 
LOT OF 
QUESTIONS, A LOT 
THAT STILL NEED 
TO BE SORTED 
OUT. 
BUT OBVIOUSLY, 
THE POLICE UNION 
IS SENDING THEIR 
CONDOLENCES TO 
THE PRUDE 
FAMILY. 
AND THEY WANT 
TRANPARENCY AS 
WELL. 
AND THEY SAY 
THEY STILL WANT 
TO WORK 
TOGETHER. 
AND THE CITY, AS 
WELL AS THE 
POLICE 
DEPARTMENT, NEED 
TO WORK TOGETHER 
IN IMPROVING 
JUST HOW THINGS 
ARE DONE HERE, 
AND HOW THEY 
MOVE FORWARD, 
WHEN THEY 
RESPOND TO THESE 
TYPES OF CALLS. 
SAVANNAH? 
>> KATHY. 
I KNOW YOU SPOKE 
WITH PRUDE'S 
BROTHER. 
WHAT DID HE TELL 
YOU? 
>> YEAH. 
I HAD A CHANCE 
TO SIT DOWN WITH 
HIM YESTERDAY. 
AND OBVIOUSLY HE 
IS DISTRESSED. 
HE'S GOING 
THROUGH A LOT 
RIGHT NOW. 
THEY WERE VERY 
CLOSE IN AGE. 
THEY GREW UP IN 
THE CHICAGO 
AREA. 
AND JOE PRUDE 
ACTUALLY PLANTED 
ROOTS HERE IN 
ROCHESTER. 
AND HE WAS 
SAYING THAT 
DANIEL WOULD 
VISIT HIM OFTEN. 
AND WHEN HE SAW 
HIM, THERE WAS A 
POINT WHEN HE 
HAD TO CALL 911 
BECAUSE DANIEL 
WAS ACTING 
ERRATICALLY, NOT 
HIMSELF. 
AND THAT IS WHAT 
TRIGGERED THE 
RESPONSE FROM 
OFFICERS. 
AND OF COURSE, 
EVERYTHING THAT 
HAS PLAYED OUT 
ON THE BODY 
CAMERA FOOTAGE. 
BUT BASED ON 
WHAT WE SAW, HE 
SAYS THAT HIS 
BROTHER DESERVED 
BETTER. 
AND HE DIDN'T 
DESERVE TO BE 
TREATED LIKE A 
PIECE OF MEAT. 
SO HERE'S A 
LITTLE MORE ON 
OUR 
CONVERSATION. 
TAKE A LISTEN. 
>> IT WAS A 
COVER-UP. 
THEY KNEW IT WAS 
WRONG. 
AND THEY 
COULDN'T BRING 
FORTH WHAT THEY 
FELT TO 
ACKNOWLEDGE THE 
WRONG THAT WAS 
PLACED BY CITY 
AGENTS. 
THEY COULDN'T 
SAY NOTHING. 
THEY COULDN'T 
EVEN ACKNOWLEDGE 
MY FAMILY. 
>> Reporter: SO 
THERE IS STILL A 
LOT OF 
QUESTIONS. 
AND OBVIOUSLY, 
THE BROTHER IS 
BEING 
REPRESENTED BY 
SEVERAL 
ATTORNEYS, AND 
THEY WANT 
PROSECUTION OF 
THESE OFFICERS. 
AS I MENTIONED, 
THE ATTORNEY 
GENERAL TAKING 
THE LEAD ON THE 
INVESTIGATION. 
AND THEY ARE 
COMBING THROUGH 
THE EVIDENCE. 
AND THEY SAY 
THEY ARE WORKING 
DILIGENTLY ON 
THE CASE. 
SAVANNAH? 
>> AND KATHY, 
BEFORE YOU GO. 
LET'S TALK ABOUT 
THAT LABOROING 
INCIDENT WE SAW 
IN TIMES SQUARE. 
WHAT HAPPENED 
THERE? 
ASK WHAT IS THE 
LATEST ON THAT 
INVESTIGATION? 
>> YEAH. 
THAT IS STILL 
SOMETHING THAT 
THEY ARE LOOKING 
INTO. 
THE NYPD. 
THERE WAS A 
LARGE GROUP OF 
BLACK LIVES 
MATTER PROTESTS 
IN TIMES SQUARE. 
AND ACCORDING TO 
POLICE, THERE 
WAS A SMALLER 
GROUP OF 
PROTESTORS 
NEARBY. 
AND IT GOT 
HEATED. 
AND OFFICERS HAD 
TO STEP IN. 
AND AS YOU SAW 
THAT CAR GOING 
THROUGH THE 
CROWD THERE. 
AND POLICE ARE 
SAYING, IF YOU 
SAW THIS 
VEHICLE, IF YOU 
HAPPENED TO 
WITNESS ANYONE 
INSIDE OR HAVE 
MORE DETAILS OR 
PERHAPS GOT DOWN 
THE LICENSE 
PLATE NUMBER 
PLEASE GIVE THEM 
A CALL. 
SO STILL A LOT 
TO SORT OUT ON 
THAT END AS 
WELL. 
>> ALL RIGHT, 
KATHY. 
THANK YOU SO 
MUCH FOR YOUR 
REPORTING ON 
THIS. 
YOU'RE WELCOME. 
>>> DISGUSTING. 
THAT'S HOW 
DEMOCRATIC 
PRESIDENTIAL 
NOMINEE BIDEN 
CALLED HOW 
PRESIDENT TRUMP 
CALLED PEOPLE 
WHO DIED IN WAR, 
LOSERS AND 
SUCKERS. 
ALI, BIDEN'S 
SPEECH FOCUSED 
ON THE ECONOMY 
TODAY. 
BUT LET'S START 
WITH THAT 
REPORT. 
HE STARTED 
TALKING ABOUT 
IT, SAYING HE IS 
PROBABLY THE 
ANGRIEST HE'S 
BEEN AS A 
CANDIDATE. 
THESE WERE SOME 
OF THE HARDEST 
WORDS HE'S USED 
GOING AFTER 
TRUMP. 
WHAT ELSE DID HE 
SAY? 
>> SAVANNAH, I 
CAN'T HEAR YOU. 
BUT I IMAGINE 
WHAT WE'RE 
TALKING ABOUT 
NOW IS WHAT JOE 
BIDEN SAID 
TODAY, THE FIERY 
SPEECH. 
THE PALPABLE 
ANGER. 
HE CALLED THESE 
COMMENTS THAT 
PRESIDENT TRUMP 
ALLEGEDLY MADE, 
DISGUSTING. 
AND I WAS ONE OF 
ABOUT 24 
REPORTERS WHO 
WERE ALLOWED TO 
BE IN THE ROOM 
TODAY. 
AND YOU COULD 
REALLY FEEL THE 
MOOD SHIFT, AS 
SOON AS JOE 
BIDEN GOT TO 
THAT PODIUM AND 
STARTED TALKING. 
HE SAID HE'S 
MORE ANGRY THAN 
HE'S BEEN AT ANY 
OTHER POINT IN 
THE CAMPAIGN. 
AND CERTAINLY 
FOR THOSE OF US 
IN THE ROOM. 
WE COULD FEEL 
IT. 
YOU COULD ALSO 
FEEL IT BY 
WATCHING THE 
FOOTAGE. 
THAT'S BECAUSE 
HE WASN'T JUST 
SPEAKING AS A 
FORMER VICE 
PRESIDENT, 
SOMEONE WHO HAS 
SERVED FOR 
DECADES IN 
OFFICE. 
BUT ALSO 
SPEAKING AS THE 
FATHER OF 
SOMEONE WHO ALSO 
WENT AND SERVED 
OVERSEAS, HIS 
SON BEAU. 
LISTEN TO WHAT 
HE SAID. 
>> QUITE 
FRANKLY, IF WHAT 
IS WRITTEN IN 
THE ATLANTIC IS 
TRUE IT'S 
DISGUSTING. 
MY SON WAS 
SERVING AND 
VOLUNTEERED TO 
GO TO KOSOVO 
WHILE THE WAR 
WAS GOING ON. 
AS A CIVILIAN. 
HE WASN'T A 
SUCKER. 
WHEN MY SON 
VOLUNTEERED AND 
JOINED THE 
UNITED STATES 
MILITARY AS THE 
ATTORNEY 
GENERAL, AND 
WENT TO IRAQ FOR 
A YEAR, WON THE 
BRONZE STAR AND 
OTHER 
COMMENDATIONS, 
HE WASN'T A 
SUCKER. 
AND THE 
SERVICEMEN AND 
WOMEN HE SERVED 
WITH, 
PARTICULARLY 
THOSE WHO DID 
NOT COME HOME, 
WERE NOT 
"LOSERS." 
THE PRESIDENT 
SHOULD HUMBLY 
APOLOGIZE TO 
EVERY GOLD STAR 
MOTHER AND 
FATHER AND EVERY 
BLUE STAR FAMILY 
THAT HE'S 
DENIGRATED AND 
INSULTED. 
WHO THE HECK 
DOES HE THINK HE 
IS? 
>> IT'S 
IMPORTANT TO 
NOTICE THESE. 
IT'S THE SAME 
FOR THE ENTIRETY 
OF HIS CANDACY. 
HE HAS TALKED 
ABOUT THE NEED 
FOR DECENCY AND 
HIGH QUALITY. 
THESE WERE THE 
SAME MESSAGES HE 
PITCHED TODAY. 
THIS TIME, IN 
THE NEW FRAP AND 
WITH ALL OF THIS 
ANGER. 
BUT IT'S AN 
EXAMPLE OF HOW 
JOE BIDEN'S 
MESSAGE HAS 
REMAINED 
CONSISTENT. 
>> ALI, I HAVE 
TO SAY, FOR NOT 
BEING ABLE TO 
HEAR MY QUESTION 
LAST TIME, YOU 
ANSWERED EVERY 
SINGLE PART OF 
IT. 
YOU ANSWERED THE 
BEST. 
CAN YOU HEAR ME, 
ALI? 
>> Reporter: I 
CAN'T HEAR YOUR 
QUESTION. 
BUT I CAN SEE 
YOU STOPPED 
TALKING. 
>> NO PROBLEM. 
>> I THINK ONE 
THING HERE. 
THIS WAS A 
SPEECH THAT WAS 
SUPPOSED TO BE 
ABOUT THE 
ECONOMY. 
AND INSTEAD, AS 
MUCH AS HE 
TALKED ABOUT THE 
ECONOMIC 
RECESSION, AS 
WELL AS THE 
CORONAVIRUS 
PANDEMIC, REALLY 
THE CENTRAL 
POINT HERE 
BECAME THESE 
ALLEGED COMMENTS 
THAT PRESIDENT 
TRUMP MADE ABOUT 
SERVICE MEMBERS. 
AND I THINK THAT 
FOR JOE BIDEN, 
WHEN HE'S 
TALKING ABOUT 
THE ECONOMY, 
ESPECIALLY HERE 
TODAY HE TALKED 
A LOT ABOUT THE 
LATEST JOBLESS 
NUMBERS. 
A MILLION OR SO 
JOBS HAVE COME 
BACK. 
HE'S ALSO 
TALKING ABOUT 
THE ECONOMIC 
SLOWDOWN COMING 
BACK MONTH BY 
MONTH. 
AND FOR HIM, 
INEXTRICABLY 
LINKING GETTING 
THE ECONOMY BACK 
ON TRACK WITH 
THE PANDEMIC. 
SOMETHING THAT 
TRUMP HAS 
REPEATEDLY SAID 
TRUMP HAS 
MISHANDLED. 
>> ALI VITALI, A 
TRUE PRO WHO 
JUST ANSWERED 
ALL OF MY 
QUESTIONS 
WITHOUT HEARING 
THEM. 
HOPEFULLY NEXT 
TIME I SEE YOU, 
YOU CAN HEAR ME. 
>>> SAME 
BATTLEGROUND 
EVENTS. 
AND FULL 
DISPLAY. 
ESPECIALLY ON 
KEY ISSUES LIKE 
CORONAVIRUS, THE 
ECONOMY AND 
SOCIAL UNREST. 
NBC NEWS 
CORRESPONDENT 
CAROL LEE JOINS 
ME NOW. 
WE'LL GET TO 
SOME OF THOSE 
DIFFERENCES IN 
POLICY WE'LL GET 
TO IN A MOMENT. 
BUT FIRST, HAS 
THE PRESIDENT 
RESPONDED AT 
ALL, TO BIDEN 
SAYING THOSE 
QUOTES FROM THE 
ATLANTIC WERE 
DISGUSTING? 
>> WELL, HE HAS 
RESPONDED TO 
WHAT WAS IN THE 
ATLANTIC IN THAT 
STORY AND 
EVERYWHERE ELSE. 
MULTIPLE TIMES, 
IN FACT. 
AS SOON AS LAST 
NIGHT, WHEN HE 
GOT OFF THE 
PLANE. 
AT JOINT BASE 
ANDREWS, IN A 
VERY UNUSUAL 
STATEMENT. 
HE SPOKE TO 
REPORTERS ON THE 
TARMAC. 
DENIED A STORY. 
HE HAS SINCE 
TWEETED ABOUT 
IT. 
THE WHITE HOUSE 
HAS COME OUT 
REALLY 
AGGRESSIVELY 
WITH A NUMBER OF 
PEOPLE, DENYING 
THAT THE 
PRESIDENT EVER 
SAID THIS. 
AND AGAIN TODAY 
IN THE OVAL 
OFFICE, THE 
PRESIDENT WAS 
ASKED ABOUT 
THIS. 
LET'S TAKE A 
LISTEN TO WHAT 
HE HAD TO SAY. 
>> SIR, DO YOU 
NEED TO 
APOLOGIZE TO 
SERVICE MEMBERS 
AND VETERANS? 
>> NO. 
IT'S A FAKE 
STORY. 
WRITTEN BY THE 
MAGAZINE THAT 
WAS PROBABLY NOT 
GOING TO BE 
AROUND MUCH 
LONGER. 
BUT IT WAS A 
TOTALLY FAKE 
STORY. 
AND THAT WAS 
CONFIRMED BY 
MANY PEOPLE WHO 
WERE THERE. 
>> THERE YOU 
HAVE A VERY 
FAMILIAR 
PUSHBACK FROM 
THE PRESIDENT 
SAYING THIS WAS 
FAKE NEWS. 
THAT HE DIDN'T 
SAY THESE 
THINGS. 
SOURCES ARE MADE 
UP. 
HOW FAR, IT'S 
WORTH NOTING, 
SAVANNAH, THAT 
YOU HAVEN'T 
REALLY SEEN A 
NUMBER OF THOSE 
GENERALS WHO 
HAVE WORKED FOR 
THIS PRESIDENT 
PAST, PRESENT. 
AND COME OUT AND 
VOCALLY DEFENDED 
HIM ON THIS. 
AND ALSO, WE SAW 
THE PRESIDENT IN 
HIS DEFENSE. 
ALSO WORTH 
NOTING, LATCH 
ONTO HIS FORMER 
NATIONAL 
SECURITY 
ADVISER. 
HE TRASHED 
BOLTON'S BOOK, 
SAYING IT IS 
FULL OF LIES AND 
MADEUP STORIES. 
BUT IN THAT 
BOOK, BOLTON 
SAYS HE WAS IN 
PARIS, WHERE 
THIS WHOLE THING 
HAPPENED, WHERE 
THE PRESIDENT 
SAID THESE 
DISPARAGING 
THING AND 
SERVICE MEMBERS 
WHO DIED. 
BOLTON SAID, YOU 
DIDN'T HEAR 
ANYTHING LIKE 
THAT. 
AT THE SAME 
TIME, HE'S ALSO 
HAD INTERVIEWS 
TODAY, WHERE HE 
SAID, PEOPLE ARE 
COMING 
OUT,SAYING, WOW, 
THIS DOESN'T 
SOUND LIKE THE 
VEHICLE I KNOW. 
INTERESTINGLY, 
THE PRESIDENT IS 
REALLY LATCHING 
ONTO HIS 
COMMENTS. 
>> LET'S SWITCH 
GEARS TO SOME OF 
THOSE 
DIFFERENCES 
BETWEEN TRUMP 
AND BIDEN THAT 
WE'VE BOTH BEEN 
SEEING. 
BIDEN WITH A 
CAMPAIGN AD, 
FEATURING KAMALA 
HARRIS. 
FOCUSING ON RACE 
RELATIONS. 
LET'S WATCH FOR 
A SECOND. 
>> WHY IN THIS 
NATION. 
BLACK AMERICANS, 
KNOWING THEY 
COULD LOSE THEIR 
LIFE IN THE 
COURSE OF JUST 
LIVING THEIR 
LIFE. 
>> PART OF THE 
POINT OF FREEDOM 
IS TO BE FREE 
FROM BRUTALITY. 
FROM INJUSTICE, 
FROM RACISM. 
AND ALL OF THIS 
MANIFESTIVATION. 
>> WE HAVE TO 
LET PEOPLE KNOW 
THEIR STRUGGLE 
BUT ALSO THEY 
DESERVE TO BE 
TREATED WITH 
DIGNITY. 
>> NOW, 
OBVIOUSLY 
BIDEN'S RESPONSE 
HAS BEEN 
DIFFERENT THAN 
PRESIDENT TRUMP. 
WALK US THROUGH 
WHAT WE'RE SEEING
. 
>> IT'S AS IF 
THEY'RE 
CAMPAIGNING IN 
TWO SEPARATE 
ELECTIONS. 
THEY'RE TALKING 
PAST EACH OTHER. 
THEY'RE MAYBE IN 
THE SAME PLACE, 
BUT CRAMADICALLY 
DIFFERENT 
MESSAGES. 
WE SAW BOTH 
PRESIDENT TRUMP 
AND FORMER 
PRESIDENT BIDEN 
IN KENOSHA THIS 
WEEK. 
AND THEY TOOK 
DRASTICALLY 
DIFFERENT 
APPROACHES. 
PRESIDENT TRUMP, 
WHEN HE WENT 
THERE, HE MET 
WITH LAW 
ENFORCEMENT. 
TALKED ABOUT 
THIS LAW AND 
ORDER MESSAGE 
THAT WE'VE HEARD 
HIM HIT 
REPEATEDLY AND 
INCREASINGLY, AS 
WE GET CLOSER TO 
THE ELECTION. 
AND THEN WE SAW 
FORMER VICE 
PRESIDENT BIDEN 
GO TO KENOSHA. 
AND HE MET WITH 
THE FAMILY OF 
JACOB BLAKE. 
IT WAS THE FIRST 
THING HE DID 
WHEN HE GOT OFF 
THE PLANE. 
AND HE HAD A 
MUCH DIFFERENT 
MESSAGE, TALKING 
ABOUT THE 
INJUSTICE IN 
RACISM AND LAW 
ENFORCEMENT. 
WHEREAS 
PRESIDENT TRUMP 
SAID THERE IT 
WASN'T SPECIFIC 
RACISM AND LAW 
ENFORCEMENT. 
IT'S JUST ONE OF 
THE MANY WAYS 
THAT WE'VE SEEN 
THE PRESIDENT 
AND THE FORMER 
VICE PRESIDENT 
REALLY JUST 
DIVERGE INTO HOW 
THEY'RE HANDLING 
THE SAME ISSUES. 
AND ONE OF THE 
-- THIS IS JUST 
THE SOCIAL 
UNREST. 
AND IT IS REALLY 
JUST ONE OF 
THREE PILLARS 
THAT WE'RE 
SEEING IN THE 
2020 ELECTION. 
THE ECONOMY AND 
OTHER ISSUES 
THAT WHERE THEY 
ARE BOTH 
APPROACHING IT 
VERY 
DIFFERENTLY. 
EVEN THOUGH 
THEY'RE 
TRAVELING ON THE 
SAME TURF. 
>> ONE OF THOSE 
OTHER CENTRAL 
ISSUES FOR BOTH 
CANDIDATES IS, 
OF COURSE, THE 
CORONAVIRUS. 
HAS BECOME A 
CENTRAL ISSUE 
FOR ALL OF OUR 
LIVES. 
TELL US HOW EACH 
CAMPAIGN IS 
FRAMING THEIR 
MESSAGING ON 
THIS? 
>> WELL, ONE IS 
TALKING ABOUT 
IT. 
AND ONE IS NOT. 
YOU HAVE FORMER 
VICE PRESIDENT 
BIDEN, REALLY 
HITTING THE 
PRESIDENT AS 
OFTEN AS HE 
POSSIBLY CAN. 
ON HIS RESPONSE 
SPECIAL HIS 
HANDLING OF THIS 
PANDEMIC. 
BOTH WERE IN 
SEPARATE STATES. 
BUT WILMINGTON 
AND DELAWARE. 
AND PRESIDENT 
TRUMP WAS IN 
NORTH CAROLINA. 
I WAS WITH HIM 
IN NORTH 
CAROLINA. 
AND NORTH 
CAROLINA IS 
OBVIOUSLY A 
STATE THAT IS 
VERY IMPORTANT 
TO THE 
PRESIDENT. 
BUT IS SEEING A 
BIT OF A SPIKE 
IN CASES IN 
RECENT WEEKS. 
IN THE PAST 
WEEK, THEY'VE 
HAD 2800 DEATHS. 
THE PRESIDENT 
MADE NO MENTION 
OF THE 
CORONAVIRUS 
WHILE HE WAS 
THERE. 
HE IS FOCUSED ON 
VETERANS AND 
COMMEMORATING 
THE END OF WORLD 
WAR II, 75th 
ANNIVERSARY. 
AND THEN YOU 
CONTRAST THAT 
WITH FORMER VICE 
PRESIDENT BIDEN. 
AND HIS EVENT IN 
DIFFERENT 
WILMINGTON WAS 
ALL ABOUT 
KRIESHZ. 
AND THE RISK 
THAT IT IS TO 
CHILDREN. 
SO WHAT WAS 
DEEMED BY 
PRESIDENT TRUMP. 
HE DOESN'T WANT 
TO TALK ABOUT 
THAT. 
THEY DON'T THINK 
OF THAT. 
HIS TEAM DOES 
NOT KNOWLEDGE 
THAT'S A WINNING 
ISSUE FOR HIM 
FOR ALL REASONS 
THAT ARE 
OBVIOUS. 
AND VICE 
PRESIDENT BIDEN 
WOULD REALLY 
LIKE TO TALK 
ABOUT THAT, 
PRETTY MUCH ALL 
THE 
TIME. 
>> NOW, ONE OF 
THE OTHER 
PILLARS YOU TALK 
ABOUT IS THE 
ECONOMY. 
AND THE WALL 
STREET JOURNAL 
POLL HAS THE 
PRESIDENT 
BEATING THE 
BIDEN ECONOMY. 
WHAT IS GIVING 
TRUMP THIS EDGE? 
THIS 10-POINT 
AGE? 
48-48. 
>> THIS HAS BEEN 
SOMETHING THAT 
IS CONSISTENT 
FOR PRESIDENT 
TRUMP. 
HIS MARKS ON THE 
ECONOMY. 
EVERYTHING ELSE. 
HIS APPROVAL 
RATING OVERALL. 
HIS HANDLING OF 
CORONAVIRUS HAS 
TAKEN A HIT. 
HIS HANDLING OF 
THE ECONOMY 
REMAINS STRONG. 
AND THIS GOES 
BACK TO 2016. 
VOTERS GETTING 
HIM GOING. 
FRANKLY, HE 
INHERITED ONE 
THAT WAS ALREADY 
TRENDING 
POSITIVELY. 
HE WAS SEEN AS 
SEEING 
THATTHROUGH. 
AND ALSO MAKING 
SOME DECISIONS 
THAT HELPED WITH 
KEACHING THE 
ECONOMY. 
THE PRESIDENT 
HELD ONTO THAT 
APPROVAL RATING 
OF HIS HANDLING 
OF THE ECONOMY. 
PRETTY STRONGLY 
AND 
CONSISTENTLY. 
AND THAT IS THE 
ONE PLACE WHERE 
HIS CAMPAIGN, 
YOU WILL HEAR 
THEM TALK ABOUT 
THE ECONOMY A 
LOT. 
THE PRESIDENT 
WAS TALKING 
ABOUT THE STOCK 
MARKET THIS 
WEEK. 
THEY FEEL LIKE 
THE MORE THEY 
CAN INSTILL IN 
PEOPLE, THAT 
THIS IS A 
PRESIDENT THAT 
IS GOING TO BE 
THE ONE TO TURN 
THE ECONOMY BACK 
AROUND. 
THAT HE BUILT IT 
UP ONCE. 
HE CAN DO IT 
AGAIN. 
THAT THAT'S A 
WINNING ARGUMENT 
FOR THEM. 
AND THESE POLLS 
SHOW WHY THAT IS 
BECAUSE PEOPLE 
STILL HAVE 
CONFIDENCE IN 
HIM. 
>> CAROL, AS WE 
SAID AT THE TOP 
OF THIS, LOTS OF 
STARKDIFFERENCES 
BETWEEN THE TWO. 
THANK YOU FOR 
BREAKING THEM 
DOWN FOR US. 
WE'LL SEE YOU 
SOON. 
>>> NORTH 
CAROLINA IS 
KICKING OFF THE 
2020 
PRESIDENTIAL 
ELECTION TODAY 
AS THE FIRST 
STATE TO MAIL 
OUT ABSENTEE 
BALLOTS TO 
VOTERS FOR THE 
GENERAL 
ELECTION. 
MORE THAN 
643,000 VOTERS 
IN NORTH 
CAROLINA HAVE 
REQUESTED MAIL-
IN BALLOTS SO 
FAR. 
THAT'S 17 TIMES 
THE NUMBER OF 
REQUESTS 
COMPARED TO THIS 
TIME IN 2016. 
AND IT'S LARGELY 
BECAUSE OF THE 
PANDEMIC. 
JOSH LETTERMAN 
IS IN RALEIGH, 
NORTH CAROLINA. 
NOW, JOSH, THAT 
IS A MASSIVE 
INCREASE IN 
BALLOT REQUESTS. 
HOW IS THE 
STATE'S ELECTION 
COMMISSION 
PLANNING TO 
HANDLE THIS 
INFLUX OF VOTES? 
CAN THEY HANDLE 
THIS INFLUX OF 
VOTES? 
>> WELL, IT'S 
ALL ABOUT -- 
YEAH. 
THEY SAY THEY 
ARE. 
AND IT'S ALL 
ABOUT STARTING 
EARLY. 
HERE IN NORTH 
CAROLINA, 
THEY'RE HELPED 
BY THE FACT THAT 
THEY HAVE 
PROVISIONS IN 
STATE LOSS THAT 
HELP THEM DO 
THAT. 
EVEN THOUGH 
WE'RE TWO MONTHS 
OUT FROM 
ELECTION DAY, 
THEY'RE STARTING 
TO SEND OUT 
BALLOTS HERE. 
AND IN FACT, WE 
HAVE BEEN 
WATCHING AS THEY 
WERE STARTING TO 
GET THOSE 
BALLOTS THAT HAD 
ALREADY BEEN 
REQUESTED, READY 
TO GO, EVEN 
BEFORE TODAY. 
GETTING THEM PUT 
INTO THE 
ENVELOPES. 
THE ADDRESS 
LABELS PUT ON. 
PUT INTO 
CARTONS. 
AND STACKED HIGH 
ONTO BIG, WOODEN 
PALLETS. 
HIGHER THAN MY 
HEIGHT, TO BE 
HONEST WITH YOU. 
AND LOAD IT ONTO 
TRUCKS READY TO 
GO INTO THE POST 
MAIL TODAY. 
THEY'RE ALSO 
HELPED BY THE 
FACT THAT 
THEY'RE ABLE 
HERE IN NORTH 
CAROLINA TO 
START PROCESSING 
BALLOTS TO GET 
RETURNED BY 
ELECTION DAY. 
THEY'RE GOING TO 
WAIT UNTIL 
ELECTION DAY TO 
DO THE COUNTING. 
SO WHEN IT COMES 
TIME FOR 
ELECTION DAY, 
THEY CAN 
BASICALLY PRESS 
A BUTTON. 
RUN A REPORT. 
AND GET RESULTS 
FROM THOSE MAIL-
IN BALLOTS. 
AND THEY HOPE 
THAT WILL REALLY 
HELP THEM DEAL 
WITH THIS 
MASSIVE INFLUX 
OF VOTES. 
>> NOW, JOSH. 
OF COURSE, WHEN 
YOU MAIL IN YOUR 
VOTE, YOU WANT 
TO MAKE SURE 
THAT IT COUNTS. 
HOW CAN A NORTH 
CAROLINA VOTER 
CHECK ON THE 
STATUS OF THEIR 
VOTE? 
IS THAT A 
POSSIBILITY? 
>> YEAH. 
IT IS. 
IT'S A GOOD 
QUESTION. 
AND THERE'S 
THREE WAYS HERE 
IN NORTH 
CAROLINA THAT 
YOU CAN CHECK TO 
MAKE SURE THAT 
YOUR MAIL-IN 
VOTE WAS 
RECEIVED AND 
PROPERLY 
COUNTED. 
YOU CAN CHECK ON 
THE WEBSITE. 
THERE'S AN APP 
THAT YOU'RE 
GOING TO BE ABLE 
TO USE. 
YOU CAN ALSO 
CALL YOUR BOARD 
OFFICIALS TO 
MAKE SURE THEY 
HAVE YOUR 
BALLOT. 
AND I'VE ALSO 
BEEN SPEAKING 
WITH THE 
DIRECTOR OF THE 
ELECTIONS BOARD 
HERE IN WAKE 
COUNTY, HOME TO 
RALEIGH. 
HE HAS A COUPLE 
OF OTHER 
SUGGESTIONS FOR 
THINGS THAT 
VOTERS SHOULD BE 
MAKING SURE THEY 
DO AS WELL. 
TAKE A LISTEN. 
>> REALLY TWO 
THINGS YOU NEED 
TO DO. 
MAKE SURE YOU 
SIGN THEM. 
MAKE SURE YOU 
GET YOUR 
WITNESS. 
DON'T LET THAT 
WITNESS WALK 
AWAY. 
UNLESS YOU 
VERIFY THAT THEY 
HAVE PRINTED 
THEIR NAME. 
WRITTEN THEIR 
SIGN. 
>> ALSO TELL 
PEOPLE TO GO 
AHEAD AND 
REQUEST YOUR 
ABSENTEE BALET 
NOW. 
AS A SAFETY NET. 
IN CASE 
SOMETHING SHOULD 
HAPPEN. 
UNFORESEEN ON 
SOME 
CIRCUMSTANCE 
THAT YOU NEED A 
SAFETY NET TO 
MAKE SURE THAT 
YOU CAN STILL 
CAST YOUR VOTE. 
>> SOYOU SHOULD 
CHECK ON YOUR 
STATE. 
IT'S A LITTLE 
DIFFERENT STATE 
TO STATE. 
HERE IN NORTH 
CAROLINA. 
IF YOU REQUEST 
BALLOT AND DON'T 
ACTUALLY RETURN 
IT. 
YOU CAN STILL GO 
VOTE IN PERSON. 
IT'S NOT A 
PROBLEM. 
OTHER STATES. 
SOMETIMES WILL 
REQUIRE YOU TO 
BRING YOUR 
UNUSED ABSENTEE 
BALLOT AND 
BASICALLY 
SURRENDER TO 
AUTHORITIES 
BEFORE YOU'LL BE 
ALLOWED TO CAST 
AN IN-PERSON 
VOTE. 
YOU CAN ALWAYS 
CAST A 
PROVISIONAL 
BALLOT. 
THEY'LL FIGURE 
OUT IF YOU HAVE 
ALREADY VOTED, 
TRY TO MAKE SURE 
THAT YOUR VOTE 
GETS COUNTED, 
ONE WAY OR 
ANOTHER. 
>> JOSH. 
YOU ARE POINTING 
OUT SOME OF 
THOSE THINGS 
THAT VOTERS 
SHOULD KNOW 
ABOUT HOW IT 
WORKS IN THEIR 
STATE. 
AND I KNOW IT'S 
VERY CONFUSING. 
THERE'S ALL OF 
THOSE LITTLE 
NUANCES LIKE YOU 
JUST SAID. 
BUT NOW, LET'S 
TALK ABOUT THE 
FACT THAT 
EARLIER THIS 
WEEK, PRESIDENT 
TRUMP SAID THAT 
NORTH CAROLINA 
VOTERS SHOULD 
CAST THEIR VOTE, 
MAIL IT IN. 
AND THEN HE 
SEEMED TO 
SUGGEST THAT 
THEY TRY TO VOTE 
A SECOND TIME IN 
PERSON, KIND OF 
SEE IF THEY 
WOULD BE ALLOWED 
TO VOTE, TO SEE 
IF THE MAIL-IN 
VOTES HAD BEEN 
COUNTED. 
NOW, VOTING 
TWICE IS A 
FEDERAL CRIME. 
HOW ARE ELECTION 
OFFICIALS 
BRACING FOR THE 
POSSIBILITY OF 
DUPLICATE VOTES, 
ESPECIALLY AFTER 
WE HEARD THAT 
FROM THE 
PRESIDENT. 
>> YEAH. 
THEY'RE PRETTY 
RATTLED BY IT, 
TO BE HONEST. 
AND WE HEARD 
OFFICIALS HERE 
NOT WANTING TO 
GET INTO A BACK 
AND FORTH. 
BUT MAKING IT 
VERY CLEAR IN A 
WRITTEN 
STATEMENT. 
AS WELL AS A 
BANNER THAT THEY 
PUT ON THEIR 
WEBSITE. 
THAT DOUBLE 
VOTING IS 
ILLEGAL. 
AND AS FAR AS 
HOW THEY'RE ABLE 
TO MAKE SURE 
VOTERS ARE NOT 
ABLE TO VOTE 
TWICE. 
THERE IS A 
RIGOROUS SYSTEM 
IN PLACE. 
THEY HAVE WHAT 
IS CALLED 
ELECTRONIC POLL 
LIST. 
MEANING THAT 
WHEN YOU SEND IN 
YOUR BALLOT. 
THE SECOND THAT 
IT IS ACCEPTED. 
OR IN PERSON. 
THAT VERY 
SECOND, IT GETS 
ENTERED INTO A 
SYSTEM. 
AND YOU GET 
MARKED AS 
ALREADY HAVING 
VOTED. 
WHICH MEANS IF 
YOU GO TO TRY 
AGAIN. 
THEY'RE GOING TO 
REJECT THAT 
VOTE. 
AND EVEN FOR 
THOSE MAIL-IN 
BALLOTS THAT 
ACTUALLY ARRIVED 
ON ELECTION DAY, 
WHILE PEOPLE ARE 
GOING TO THE 
POLLS. 
THEY'RE GOING TO 
HOLD THOSE MAIL-
IN VOTES UNTIL 
AFTER ELECTION 
DAY. 
SEE WHETHER 
THOSE PEOPLE 
ACTUALLY SHOWED 
UP ON ELECTION 
DAY AND CAST A 
BALLOT, SO THAT 
THEY KNOW NOT TO 
COUNT THEIR MAIL-
IN VOTES. 
SO BASICALLY, 
WHICHEVER 
ARRIVES FIRST, 
GETS COUNTED. 
THEN THEY HAVE 
THESE COMPUTER 
SYSTEMS THAT 
MAKE SURE IF A 
SECOND VOTE 
ARRIVES, IT DOES 
NOT GET COUNTED. 
>> ALL RIGHT, 
JOSH. 
THANK YOU FOR 
BREAKING THAT 
DOWN FOR US. 
LIKE I SAID, A 
LOT OF PEOPLE 
MIGHT BE 
RATTLED, NOT 
KNOWING WHAT TO 
DO, HOW TO GET 
THE VOTE IN. 
THANKS FOR 
HELPING US OUT. 
>> SURE. 
>> HOW ARE YOU

BLACK WOMAN, A 
DAUGHTER OF

WIFE AND MOTHER 
OF A HUSBAND AND 
KIDS WHO SADLY 
ARE MORE 
VULNERABLE TO 
POLICE VIOLENCE

I HOPE THE GREAT 
GWEN IFILL AND 
MY MOM, 
PHILOMENA CAROL 
LOMENA, WILL 
LOOK DOWN FROM 
HEAVEN AND BE 
PROUD. 
>>> JOB NUMBERS 
ARE OUT TODAY, 
PAINTING A MIXED 
PICTURE OF THE 
ECONOMY. 
THE U.S. ADDED 
NEARLY 1.4 
MILLION JOBS IN 
AUGUST. 
THE UNEMPLOYMENT 
RATE FELL INTO 
THE SINGLE 
DIGITS TO 8.4% 
FOR THE FIRST 
TIME SINCE THE 
START OF THE 
PANDEMIC. 
NBC NEWS 
TECHNICIAN AND 
SPOR 
CORRESPONDENT, 
JO LING KENT 
JOINS US NOW. 
WHAT TYPES OF 
JOBS ARE ADDED? 
>> Reporter: 
HEY, SAVANNAH. 
IT IS SOME GOOD 
NEWS. 
CERTAINLY BETTER 
THAN WHAT WALL 
STREET 
EXPECTATIONS 
WERE. 
SO WE'RE MOVING 
IN THE RIGHT 
DIRECTION. 
BUT THERE'S A 
LONG WAY TO GO. 
LET'S LOOK FIRST 
AT THE 
COMMUNITIES THAT 
HAVE BEEN 
IMPACTED BY IT. 
BLACK 
UNEMPLOYMENT 
CONTINUES TO BE 
NEARLY DOUBLE. 
YOU STILL HAVE 
HIGHER RATE 
AMONG HISPANIC 
AMERICANS, ASIAN 
AMERICANS AS 
WELL. 
YOU ALSO SEE 
THAT THERE IS A 
DISPROPORTIONATE 
UNEVENNESS. 
JUST LIGHTLY. 
THAT GAP IS 
CLOSING BETWEEN 
MEN AND WOMEN. 
WOMEN HIT HARDER 
BY UNEMPLOYMENT 
AND OTHERS. 
BUT IF YOU TAKE 
A LOOK AT THAT 
NUMBER, OF HOW 
MANY JOBS WERE 
CREATED, JUST 
ABOUT 1.4 
MILLION. 
WITHIN THAT, A 
HUGE CHUNK OF 
THAT, 250 JOBS 
WERE CREATED BY 
THE CENS US 
BUREAUS. 
AND THOSE JOBS 
WILL ACTUALLY 
END THIS FALL, 
WHEN THE CENSUS 
IS DONE. 
AND WHEN THE 
TRUMP 
ADMINISTRATION 
ENDS THAT 
PROGRAM EARLY. 
SO WHEN YOU SEE 
THESE GAINS, 
HAVE YOU TO TAKE 
THAT INTO 
CONSIDERATION AS 
WELL. 
BUT SOME OF THE 
BEST PERFORMING, 
IN TERMS OF JOB 
GAINS. 
WE SAW RETAIL 
AND BUSINESSES 
DID L. 
EDUCATION AND 
HEALTH. 
BUT I WANT TO 
POINT OUT THE 
CONTEXT TO YOU. 
YOU'LL REMEMBER 
THE AID THAT 
ENDED AT THE END 
OF JULY. 
RIGHT? 
BUT THIS SURVEY 
FOR THE AUGUST 
JOBS REPORT WAS 
ONLY TAKEN IN 
THE EARLY PART 
OF AUGUST. 
SO WE DON'T HAVE 
A GREAT SENSE 
YET OF HOW MANY 
PEOPLE ARE 
AFFECTED IN 
TERMS OF THEIR 
JOBS AND 
SPENDING AND ALL 
THAT. 
BECAUSE IT WAS 
SO EARLY IN THE 
MONTH. 
SO FOR THOSE I 
TALKED TO, 
THAT'S THE KEY 
MONTH THEY'RE 
GOING TO BE 
LOOKING AT. 
>> SO JO, EVEN 
WHILEE STILL 
DON'T HAVE THIS 
FULL PICTURE. 
WE KNOW THAT THE 
1.4 MILLION JOBS 
WERE ADD. 
BUT WE ALSO KNOW 
WE'RE DOWN MORE 
THAN 11 MILLION 
JOBS SINCE THE 
START OF THE 
PANDEMIC. 
LIKE I SAID. 
WITHOUT HAVING 
THE FULL PICTURE 
YOU JUST 
MENTIONED. 
WHAT IS THE 
STATE OF THE 
ECONOMY RIGHT 
NOW? 
>> I WOULD SAY 
IT IS. 
WE HAVE TO WAIT 
TO SEE HOW THAT 
CRITICAL LAST 
QUARTER OF THE 
YEAR GOES. 
SO MANY PEOPLE 
SPEND. 
AND BUSINESSES 
MAKE MOST OF 
THEIR MONEY IN 
THE LAST 
QUARTER, 
ESPECIALLY WHEN 
IT COMES TO 
CRITICAL RETAIL 
AND BIG 
BUSINESSES. 
RIGHT? 
SO THE ISSUE 
HERE, TOO, IS 
ABOUT SPENDING. 
BECAUSE AS MUCH 
AS WE WANT TO 
FOCUS ON JOBS 
NUMBERS AND 
UNEMPLOYMENT 
RATES, THOSE ARE 
VERY CRITICAL 
PILLARS. 
BUT THE OTHER 
PILLARS HOLDING 
UP THIS TABLE 
THAT IS THE 
ECONOMY IS THE 
CONSUMER 
SPENDING THAT 
REALLY DRIVES 
THE ECONOMY. 
IF YOU CONTINUE 
TO HAVE WEAKLY 
UNEMPLOYMENT 
CLAIMS AS WE 
REPORTED 
YESTERDAY, STILL 
CLOSE TO ABOUT A 
MILLION. 
THAT MEANS 
PEOPLE ARE 
UNABLE TO SPEND 
MONEY. 
THAT IS WHERE 
YOU'RE GOING TO 
SEE GROCERIES, 
RETAILS, ALL OF 
THOSE KEY AREAS, 
REALLY START TO 
HURT MORE THAN 
THEY ALREADY 
HAVE. 
SO THAT'S WHAT 
I'M GOING TO BE 
WATCHING GOING 
FORWARD THIS 
MONTH. 
>> AND I THINK 
WE'RE ALREADY 
STARTING TO SEE 
A LOT OF THOSE 
SMALL 
BUSINESSES. 
MANY RESTAURANTS 
THAT ARE JUST 
NOT MAKING IT 
THROUGH THIS 
TIME. 
LIKE YOU SAID, 
PEOPLE AREN'T 
ABLE TO GO SPEND 
MONEY THERE. 
>> THANKS SO 
MUCH, JOE. 
THANKS FOR 
WEEPING AN EYE 
ON THIS. 
>> THANKS, 
SAVANNAH. 
>>> TODAY'S JOBS 
NUMBERS GOT A 
BOOST FROM THE 
340,000 HIRES 
MADE BY THE 
CENSUS BUREAU. 
BUT THE GAINS 
COULD HAVE BEEN 
BIGGER. 
NOW, SOME 
SOURCES SAY 
THEY'VE HAD 
THEIR HOURS 
DRASTICALLY CUT. 
CORRESPONDENT 
JOE FRYER AND 
OUR BUDDY HAVE 
THE STORY. 
>> EXCUSE ME. 
DO YOU FOLKS 
KNOW HOW MANY 
PEOPLE LIVED AT 
THIS ADDRESS, 
APRIL 1st? 
>> BY THIS 
MONTH, T.J. 
WAS HOPING TO 
MAKE GOOD MONEY. 
WORKING FOR THE 
CENSUS. 
>> I WAS 
EXPECTING TO 
WORK FOR THE 
WEEK. 
>> INSTEAD, HE 
ONLY WORKED 20 
HOURS A WEEK. 
FOR TWO WEEKS. 
>> THIS IS 
ENTIRELY 
DISORGANIZED. 
AND JUST BLOCKS 
ANY FEELIONS OF 
-- FEELINGS OF 
ANY 
PREPARATIONS. 
>> WE SPOKE WITH 
FIVE WORKERS WHO 
ARE FRUSTRATED 
WITH EVERYTHING 
FROM A LACK OF 
COMMUNICATION, 
FROM MANAGEMENT 
TO GLITCHES IN 
THE CENSUS IN 
THE INTERVIEW 
APP. 
IT COULDN'T HAVE 
COME AT A WORSE 
TIME FOR PEOPLE 
WHO NEEDED THE 
INCOME. 
>> SOME FEAR 
RETRIBUTION. 
T.J. 
IS NOT HIS REAL 
NAME. 
HE ASKED US TO 
MAKE CLEAR HE'S 
GIVING ONLY HIS 
PERSONAL VIEWS. 
AND ANOTHER 
CENSUS WORKER IS 
ONLY GIVING US 
HER VOICE. 
>> I WAS LOOKING 
FORWARD TO MAKING
$25 AN HOUR. 
>> SHE WAS 
COUNTING ON 
MAKING AROUND 
$8,000, OVER 
THREE MONTHS OF 
WORK. 
BUT THEN. 
>> I DIDN'T HEAR 
FROM THEM FROM 
MARCH, APRIL, 
JUNE. 
MAYBE THREE 
MONTHS, I DID 
NOT HEAR FROM 
THE CENSUS. 
I DEFINITELY 
WANTED TO WORK 
THERE ARE THEM. 
>> THEY HAVE 
HIRED FAR FEWER 
THAN IN PREVIOUS 
YEARS. 
>> Reporter: BUT 
THEY ONLY HIRED 
AROUND 300,000 
CENS US TAKERS 
BY MID-AUGUST, 
2020. 
ACCORDING TO THE 
GOVERNMENT 
ACCOUNTABILITY 
OFFICE. 
>> DUE TO THE 
PANDEMIC, THE 
BUREAU STOPPED 
ITS FIELD 
OPERATIONS IN 
MARCH, JUST ONE 
WEEK AFTER 
STARTING THE 
COUNT FOR MOST 
OF THE U.S. IN 
APRIL, THE 
OFFICIAL 
CENSUSDEADLINE 
WAS EXTENDED. 
THEY DID NOT 
RESUME UNTIL 
JUNE. 
BUT THEN THEY 
ANNOUNCED THEY 
WERE ENDING THE 
COUNT FOUR WEEKS 
EARLY ON 
SEPTEMBER 30th. 
>> THAT MEANS 
FEWER PAID HOURS 
FOR SOME WORKERS 
BANKING ON A 
PAYCHECK IN A 
TOUGH JOB 
MARKET. 
>> IF I COULD 
HAVE WORKED FOR 
$15 AN HOUR 
STARTING IN 
JUNE, I WOULD 
HAVE MADE A LOT 
MORE MONEY. 
AND IT IS MONEY 
I WAS KIND OF 
RELYING ON. 
>> THE CENSUS 
PAID WORKERS TO 
BOOST 
PRODUCTIVITY. 
WORKERS I SPOKE 
WITH SAY THE 
REQUIREMENTS 
WERE 
UNACHIEVABLE. 
LIKE 
INTERVIEWING 
NINE HOUSEHOLDS 
IN ONE HOUR. 
>> NOT ENOUGH 
WORKERS AND 
SHORTENING THE 
DEADLINE POSE A 
RISK IN NOT 
GETTING A FULT 
COUNT. 
ESPECIALLY IN 
COMMUNITIES OF 
COLOR. 
[ INAUDIBLE ] 
>> KICKED OFF 
OUR CAMPAIGN. 
>> NO, NO. 
CENSUS NOW. 
>> THERE'S KIND 
OF A COLLECTIVE 
FEELING OF, 
YEAH, THIS IS 
MESSED UP. 
THIS IS NOT 
WORKING RIGHT. 
AND WE JUST 
DON'T KNOW WHAT 
TO DO. 
>>> A 
SPOKESPERSON FOR 
THE CENSUS SAID 
THEY HIRED FOR, 
QUOTE, WHAT THEY 
NEED THIS 
DECADE, BECAUSE 
OF THE 
TRANSITION FROM 
PAPER TO MORE 
DIGITAL 
COUNTING. 
THEY NEEDED 
FEWER CENSUS 
TAKERS THIS 
YEAR. 
RESPONDING TO 
THE SPECIFIC 
CLAIMS OF A 
DISORGANIZED 
SYSTEM THIS 
YEAR. 
THE CREANCES US 
ALSO TOLD NBC 
NEWS, QUOTE, 
WHENEVER YOU 
HAVE THAT LARGE 
OF A WORK FORCE, 
THERE CAN BE 
CHAOS. 
AND THAT'S PART 
OF WORKING IN A 
CENSUS 
ENVIRONMENT. 
>> EVEN IF WE DO 
GET A VACCINE 
THIS FALL, WHEN 
CAN YOU EXPECT 
TO GET ONE? 
NBC NEWS 
CORRESPONDENT, 
RON ALLEN SAT 
DOWN WITH THE 
NATION'S NUMBER 
1 INFECTIOUS 
DISEASE DOCTOR, 
DR. FAUCI. 
>> THE PRESIDENT 
HAS SAID THERE 
COULD BE A 
VACCINE APPROVED 
BEFORE THE 
ELECTION. 
WHAT IS THE MOST 
REALISTIC TIME 
FRAME FOR 
APPROVAL? 
>> I HAVE SAID 
MULTIPLE TIMES 
OVER THE LAST 
SEVERAL MONTHS 
THAT THE 
PROJECTION WOULD 
BE THAT BY THE 
END OF NOVEMBER, 
DECEMBER, OF 
THIS CALENDAR 
YEAR, THAT WE 
WOULD HAVE AN 
ANSWER, WHETHER 
OR NOT WE HAVE A 
SAFE AND 
EFFECTIVE 
VACCINE THAT IS 
APPROVABLE. 
IS IT POSSIBLE 
THAT IT COULD BE 
BEFORE THEN? 
AND THE ANSWER 
IS YES. 
I THINK IT'S 
UNLIKELY. 
BUT I THINK IT'S 
POSSIBLE. 
AND THE 
POSSIBILITY WILL 
BE DICTATED BY, 
FOR EXAMPLE, IF 
YOU HAVE THE 
TRIAL BEING 
TAKEN PLACE IN 
AN AREA THAT 
HAPPENS TO HAVE 
A LOT OF 
INFECTIONS. 
YOU MAY GET AN 
ANSWER SOONER 
THAN YOU WOULD 
HAVE PROJECTED. 
BECAUSE THE 
ANSWER IS EVENT-
DRIVEN. 
IT'S NOT DRIVEN 
BY THE TIME OF 
THE TRIAL OR BY 
THE NUMBER OF 
PEOPLE IN THE 
TRIAL. 
IT'S DRIVEN BY 
THE NUMBER 
OFEVENTS OR 
INFECTIONS AS IT 
WERE, THAT YOU 
HAVE IN THE 
PLACEBO GROUP, 
VERSUS THE 
EXPERIMENTAL 
GROUP. 
SO AGAIN, MY 
PREDICTION IS 
GOING TO BE 
NOVEMBER-
DECEMBER. 
BUT I WOULD NOT 
BE OVERLY 
SURPRISED, IF IT 
HAPPENED BEFORE 
THEN. 
>> THAT'S 
APPROVAL. 
WHAT ABOUT 
ACTUAL ROLLOUT 
OF A VACCINE. 
>> GOOD POINT. 
>> RIGHT NOW. 
THERE ARE 
MECHANISMS IN 
PLACE, TO MAKE 
DOSES OF 
VACCINES, EVEN 
BEFORE WE KNOW 
WHETHER IT WORKS 
OR NOT. 
AND THERE ARE 
PREORDERS AND 
PREPURCHASES OF 
VACCINES ON THE 
PART OF THE 
FEDERAL 
GOVERNMENT. 
THE WAY IT LOOKS 
LIKE IT WILL 
PLAY OUT, BY THE 
TIME WE GET TO 
THE END OF THE 
YEAR WE WILL 
HAVE 2 TO 10 
MILLION DOSES. 
WE WON'T HAVE 
HUNDREDS OF 
MILLIONS OF 
DOSES. 
AS WE GET INTO 
2021. 
THE BEGINNING 
QUARTER AND 
FIRST HALF OF 
THE YEAR. 
THEN YOU'RE 
TALKING ABOUT 
SEVERAL 10s IF 
NOT HUNDREDS OF 
MILLIOPS 
MILLIONS OF 
DOSES. 
>> WHAT SHOULD 
COLLEGES BE 
DOING? 
SENDING PEOPLE 
HOME? 
>> COLLEGES ARE 
DOING DIFFERENT 
MODELS. 
SOME COLLEGES 
ARE DOING 
EVERYTHING 
VIRTUAL AND 
ONLINE. 
BUT THAT'S NOT 
WHAT MANY OF THE 
COLLEGES ARE 
DOING. 
MANY OF THEM ARE 
TESTING 
EVERYBODY BEFORE 
THEY EVEN GET ON 
INTO THE DORMS, 
INTO THE CAMPUS. 
AND THEN DOING 
SURVEILLANCE. 
INTERMITTENTLY. 
SOMETIMES THAT'S 
A COUPLE OF 
TIMES A WEEK. 
SOMETIMES THAT'S 
A LITTLEMORE. 
BUT THE 
IMPORTANT THING 
IS TO HAVE THE 
CAPABILITY WHEN 
RAY STUDENT GETS 
INFECTED, RATHER 
THAN CLOSE 
EVERYTHING DOWN 
OR SEND THEM 
HOME TO HAVE 
EITHER A DORM OR 
A FLOOR OF A 
DORM, WHERE THEY 
COULD SAFELY AND 
COMFORTABLY 
SEGREGATE THEM 
FROM THE REST OF 
THE STUDENTS. 
BUT WE ARE NOT 
RECOMMENDING 
THAT THEY SEND 
AN INFECTED 
COLLEGE STUDENT 
HOME. 
BECAUSE WHAT 
YOU'RE THEN 
DOING IS GETTING 
AN INFECTED 
PERSON, AND 
PUTTING THEM 
BACK IN THE 
COMMUNITY TO 
SPREAD 
INFECTION. 
SO THE BEST 
THING YOU CAN DO 
IS TO KEEP THEM 
ON CAMPUS, 
SEGREGATED FROM 
THE REST OF THE 
STUDENTS. 
BUT NOT 
ESSENTIALLY 
TELLING THEM TO 
GO HOME. 
>> THE NUMBER OF 
AFRICAN AMERICAN 
MEDICAL STUDENTS 
NOW IS ABOUT THE 
SAME AS IT WAS 
DECADES AGO. 
ESPECIALLY MEN. 
HOW DO YOU SOLVE 
THIS PROBLEM? 
AND HOW BIG OF A 
PROBLEM DO YOU 
SEE THAT AS? 
>> OH. 
IT SAY BIG 
PROBLEM. 
AND WE'VE GOT TO 
GET MORE 
MINORITY 
STUDENTS INTO 
MEDICAL SCHOOL 
AND NURSING 
SCHOOLS. 
BUT CERTAINLY 
MEDICAL SCHOOLS. 
YOU WANT THE 
MEDICAL STAFF 
THROUGHOUT THE 
COUNTRY, TO 
REFLECT AS MUCH 
AS POSSIBLE, 
WHAT THE 
DEMOGRAPHY OF 
THE COUNTRY IS. 
AND WE 
ABSOLUTELY NEED 
MORE MINORITY, 
PARTICULARLY 
AFRICAN AMERICAN 
MEDICAL STUDENTS 
AND ULTIMATELY, 
PHYSICIANS. 
>> IN RUSSIA, 
SCIENTISTS ARE 
REPORTING THE 
FIRST RESULTS IN 
THEIR 
CONTROVERSIAL 
LANCET VACCINE. 
IT SAYS THEY 
PRODUCED AN 
ANTIBODY 
RESPONSE IN ALL 
EARLY STAGE 
TRIALS. 
DR. JOHN TORRES 
JOINS US NOW. 
WHAT DO WE KNOW 
ABOUT RUSSIA'S 
VACCINE? 
>> WHAT WE KNOW 
IS LIKE YOU 
SAID, THEY'VE 
ALREADY APPROVED 
THEIR VACCINE 
BECAUSE OF THE 
RESULTS THEY GOT 
IN THE SMALL 
TRIALS. 
AND THEY SAID 
100% OF THE 
PARTICIPANTS IN 
THESE SMALL 
TRIALS ACTUALLY 
HAD ANTIBODIES 
AGAINST 
CORONAVIRUS. 
AND IT SEEMED TO 
BE SAFE IN THEM. 
BUT THE CAVEAT 
HERE IS, THESE 
WERE TWO 
DIFFERENT TRIALS 
THEY DID. 
EACH TRIAL HAD 
38 PARTICIPANTS. 
SO WE'RE TALKING 
74 TOTAL 
PARTICIPANTS. 
SORRY. 
76 PARTICIPANTS. 
AND ON TOP OF 
THAT, IT WASN'T 
PLACEBO 
CONTROLLED. 
IN OTHER WORDS, 
THEY DIDN'T GIVE 
SOME THE VACCINE 
AND SOME THE 
PLACEBO, TO MAKE 
SURE THEY COULD 
CONTRACT THE 
TWO. 
VERY -- CONTRAST 
THE TWO. 
WE'RE GETTING 
THROUGH PHASE 3. 
ALCOHOL BE 
30,000 
PARTICIPANTS IN 
EACH OF THESE 
TRIALS. 
WHEN WE GET 
PARTWAY THROUGH 
THE 30,000. 
THEN WE'LL START 
TO LOOK THROUGH 
THE DATA TO SEE 
IF THEY CAN 
APPROVE IT. 
IN A LOT OF 
EXPERTS' 
OPINIONS, RUSSIA 
COMPLETELY JUMP-
STARTED THE 
THING. 
AND THE CONCERN 
IS, WE'VE HAD 
MANY DRUGS, 
VACCINES. 
AND RUSSIA NOW 
IS ESSENTIALLY 
IN PHASE 1. 
DON'T DO WELL IN 
PHASE 3. AND 
HAVE ISSUES IN 
PHASE 3. SO THE 
CONCERN IS, ONE, 
THAT IT MIGHT 
HAVE SAFETY 
ISSUES. 
AND IF IT DOES, 
THEN PEOPLE WILL 
START LOOKING AT 
IT AND START 
THINKING, MAYBE 
I SHOULDN'T GET 
THAT VAC SOON. 
WHEN IN FACT, 
THAT VACCINE HAS 
NOTHING TO DO 
WITH THE 
VACCINES THAT WE 
HAVE HERE IN THE 
U.S. 
AND IT WILL BE 
AUTHORIZED HERE 
IN THE U.S., 
SAVANNAH? 
>> YEAH. 
ISSUES IN PHASE 
3. KNOWING THAT 
IT'S SOMETHING 
THAT IS GOING 
INTO YOUR BODY. 
LIKE A PRETTY 
SCARY POTENTIAL 
REALITY. 
NOW, COULD THIS 
HAVE ANY IMPACT 
ON THE TIMING OF 
A VACCINE HERE 
IN THE U.S. 
>> I DON'T THINK 
IT'S GOING TO 
HAVE AN IMPACT 
ON THE TIMING 
HERE. 
BECAUSE YOU JUST 
HEARD DR. FAUCI 
SAY, IT LOOKS 
LIKE AT THE END 
OF THE YEAR, 
BEGINNING OF 
NEXT YEAR, IS 
WHEN MORE THAN 
LIKELY, WE'LL 
START LOOKING AT 
VACCINES THAT 
OUR EMERGENCIES 
AUTHORIZED. 
THAT WILL ONLY 
BE IN CERTAIN 
POPULATIONS. 
THESE ARE THE 
ONES AT HIGHEST 
RISK FOR 
CONTRACTING 
CORONAVIRUS OR 
GETTING SIDE 
EFFECTS OR 
COMPLICATIONS 
BECAUSE OF 
CORONAVIRUS. 
AND FOR THE 
GENERAL 
POPULATION, 
EITHER TOWARDS 
THE END OF THE 
FIRST QUARTER OR 
SUMMER OF NEXT 
YEAR. 
THAT IS PRETTY 
MUCH ON THE 
TRAJECTORY THAT 
WE HAVE BEEN 
TALK BEING ABOUT 
SINCE FEBRUARY. 
THAT SHOULDN'T 
CHANGE, BASED ON 
RUSSIA 
EXPERIENCE RIGHT 
NOW. 
RUSSIA IS 
TALKING ABOUT. 
THE CONCERN IS, 
WE KNOW THERE IS 
A CERTAIN AMOUNT 
OF 
VACCINEHESITANCY 
HERE. 
IF NEWS GETS OUT 
THAT PEOPLE ARE 
GETTING  INTO 
RUSSIA. 
AND ALL OF A 
SUDDEN, THEY 
HAVE SIDE 
EFFECTS OR 
ISSUES. 
THAT COULD CAUSE 
THE PROBLEM 
HERE. 
AND THAT'S WHAT 
HAS THE PEOPLE 
WORRIED. 
>> I WANT TO GET 
TO A TOUGH 
NUMBER HERE. 
A NEW PREDICTION 
FOR THE HEALTH 
METRICS. 
AND THE 
UNIVERSITY OF 
WASHINGTON SAYS 
WE COULD SEE 
410,000 
CORONAVIRUS 
DEATHS BY 
JANUARY. 
THAT'S MORE THAN 
DOUBLE THE 
CURRENT DEATH 
TOLL. 
WHAT IS BEHIND 
THE PREDICTION? 
>> IT IS WHAT IS 
HAPPENING COME 
WINTERTIME. 
ESPECIALLY WITH 
A VIRUS COMING 
STRONGER. 
AND PEOPLE WILL 
START LETTING 
THEIR GUARD 
DOWN. 
BECAUSE WE KNOW 
CASES ARE 
GETTING BETTER 
UNDER CONTROL. 
WE WON'T 
NECESSARILY BE 
DOING THINGS WE 
HAVE BEEN DOING 
ALL LONG. 
BUT YOU DO HAVE 
TO REMEMBER, 
THIS IS A 
PREDICTION. 
AND ONE OF THE 
THINGS THEY HAVE 
BEEN CRITICIZED 
ABOUT. 
AND THIS IS THE 
IHME PREDICTION, 
IS THAT THEY 
TEND TO GO OUT 
LONG TERM. 
ALTHOUGH, RIGHT 
NOW, THEY'RE 
PREDICTING. 
IF YOU LOOK AT 
THE PAST 
PREDICTION, THEY 
ARE PREDICTING 
200,000 DEATHS 
BY OCTOBER. 
WE'RE AT 180,000 
PLUS RIGHT NOW. 
SO THEY HAVE A 
FAIRLY GOOD 
TRACK RECORD. 
BUT AGAIN, 
THEY'RE 
BASICALLY BASING 
IT [ INAUDIBLE ] 
ON HUMAN 
BEHAVIOR. 
AND WHAT THEY'RE 
SAYING IS THE 
MOST LIKELY 
SCENARIO WOULD 
BE EXACTLY WHAT 
YOU'RE TALKING 
ABOUT. 
BUT IF YOU CAN 
GET HUMAN 
BEHAVIOR BACK TO 
WHAT WE KNOW 
PEOPLE NEED TO 
DO, AND THEY DO 
THOSE THINGS TO 
KEEP THEMSELVES 
AND EVERYBODY 
ELSE PROTECTED, 
THAT NUMBER 
SHOULD BE LOWER. 
SO PEOPLE 
SAYING, WE NEED 
TO DOUBLE DOWN 
ON THE EFFORT. 
SAVANNAH. 
>> WE HEARD FROM 
THE TSA. 
THEY TWEETED 
THAT CHECKPOINT 
SAW THE HIGHEST 
NUMBER OF 
PASSENGERS IT 
HAS SEEN SINCE 
APRIL. 
WHAT ADVICE DO 
YOU HAVE FOR 
PEOPLE WHO ARE 
STARTING TO 
TRAVEL AGAIN? 
ESPECIALLY THIS 
LABOR DAY 
WEEKEND? 
WE MIGHT SEE A 
LOT MORE OF 
THAT. 
HOW CAN PEOPLE 
STAY SAFE. 
>> SAVANNAH, 
YOU'RE RIGHT. 
THE NUMBERS ARE 
GOING UP. 
AND THIS IS A 
BIG HOLIDAY 
WEEKEND, 
TYPICALLY. 
AND IS SHOWING 
THE SAME 
REFLECTION NOW, 
EVEN IN THE 
MIDST OF THE 
PANDEMIC. 
PEOPLE WANT TO 
MEET OTHER 
PEOPLE. 
THEY WANT TO GO 
TO OTHER PLACES. 
BUT THEY HAVE TO 
REMEMBER TO DO 
THINGS WITH 
SAFETY IN MIND. 
AND ONE THING WE 
HAVE FOUND OUT. 
AND CERTAINLY 
FOUND OUT MORE 
ABOUT THIS VIRUS 
OVER THE MONTH 
SINCE IT HAS 
SHOWN UP. 
IS THAT AIR 
TRAVEL. 
THE AIRPLANE 
SECTION ITSELF. 
DOESN'T SEEM TO 
BE AS BIG OF AN 
ISSUE AS WE 
THOUGHT OR 
WORRIED THAT IT 
MIGHT BE. 
FOR A FEW 
REASONS. 
ONE, BECAUSE OF 
THE VENTILATION 
SET UP IN THE 
AIRPLANE. 
TWO, BECAUSE A 
LOT OF AIRLINES 
ARE ACTUALLY 
SHUTTING DOWN 
THE MIDDLE 
AISLES OR MAKING 
EVERYBODY WEAR 
MASKS. 
AND 3, PEOPLE 
ARE SIMPLY DOING 
THE THING THEY 
NEED TO DO TO 
PROTECT 
THEMSELVES AND 
OTHERS. 
THERE ARE THINGS 
YOU CAN DO. 
NUMBER 1. IF 
YOU'RE ON THE 
AIRPLANE. 
WINDOW SEAT 
BETTER THAN THE 
AISLE SEAT. 
MAKE SURE YOU 
SANITIZE 
YOURHANDS AS 
MUCH AS YOU CAN 
DURING THE 
FLIGHT. 
BUT REALTDZ, THE 
BIGGEST RISK 
COMES BEFORE 
YOU'RE ON THE 
AIRPLANE AND 
AFTER YOU GET 
OFF. 
WHEN YOU'RE 
AROUND OTHER 
PEOPLE. 
THE CONCERN IS 
NOT SO MUCH 
CATCHING 
CORONAVIRUS ON 
THE AIRLINE, BUT 
PEOPLE HAVING IT 
AND TAKING IT TO 
A DIFFERENT 
LOCATION AND 
SPREADING IT 
THAT WAY. 
SO WHEN YOU GET 
TO YOUR 
LOCATION, 
REMEMBER THE 
FOUR WS. 
WEAR A MASK, 
WASH YOUR HANDS 
AND WALK WITH A 
DISTANCE. 
MOST IMPORTANT 
THING IS HAVE 
FUN THIS 
WEEKEND. 
>> DR. JOHN. 
LIE LIKE THOSE 
FOUR WS. 
WINDOW SEATS 
BETTER THAN 
AISLE. 
HELPFUL TO 
REMEMBER. 
AND YOU 
YOURSELF. 
ENJOY LABOR DAY. 
>> I WILL. 
THANKS. 
BYE. 
>>> AMONG THE 
CHAOS. 
I FOUND A 
FATHER, TRYING 
TO TEACH A SON 
ABOUT PEACE. 
>> WE DON'T HAVE 
TO RETALIATE 
WITH ANGER. 
WE RETALIATE 
WITH LOVE. 
THAT'S WHY WE'RE 
DOWN HERE. 
THERE'S ALWAYS 
ANOTHER WAY. 
SO THAT'S ALL I 
WANT HIM TO SEE. 
>>> THIS IS A 
SITUATION WHERE 
THE STATE 
CONTINUES TO 
STRUGGLE TO 
EXPAND ITS 
TESTING 
CAPABILITY. 
>> PROTESTORS 
FEEL THAT THEY 
NEED TO COME OUT 
IN IN FULL FORCE 
AND SUPPORT 
THEIR COMMUNITY. 
BECAUSE THEY 
FEEL LIKE 
THEY'RE NOT 
GETTING THAT 
SUPPORT FROM THE 
PORTLAND POLICE. 
>>> ANOTHER 
ELECTION DAY 
COMING UP 
AGAINST THE 
BACKDROP OF HOW 
TO KEEP VOTERS 
SAFE, AMID A 
PANDEMIC. 
>> THE MOMENT TO 
TRULY UNDERSTAND 
WHO WE ARE AND 
WHO WE SAY WE 
ARE IS RIGHT 
HERE AT OUR 
FEET. 
>>> YOU GOTTA 
GET A FOUR-YEAR 
DEGREE. 
BUT A FOUR-YEAR 
DEGREE IS SUPER 
EXPENSIVE. 
>> WE HAVE 
CREATED A SYSTEM 
WHERE THE TICKET 
TO THE MIDDLE 
CLASS IS A THING 
THAT MIDDLE 
CLASS FAMILIES 
HAVE TO STRESS 
ABOUT AND BORROW 
FOR AND PATCH 
TOGETHER.

>>> AIRPORTS 
HAVE BEEN PRETTY 
EMPTY SINCE THE 
PANDEMIC BEGAN. 
BUT THIS LABOR 
DAY IS EXPECTED 
TO SEE A HUGE 
RAMPUP IN 
TRAVEL. 
SO IT'S A GOOD 
THING AIRPORTS 
HAVE REDESIGNED 
THEIR TSA 
CHECKPOINTS TO 
MATCH THAT 
EXPECTED SPIKE 
IN PASSENGERS 
COMING THROUGH. 
NBC NEWS'S 
AVIATION 
CORRESPONDENT, 
TOM COSTOLO IS 
AT REAGAN 
INTERNATIONAL

LOOK AT HOW THEY 
HAVE CHANGED TO 
PROTECT AGAINST 
THE CORONAVIRUS. 
>> SAVANNAH,

ABOUT I HAVE 
ONLY TRAVELED,

THE BIGGEST 
VOMUME 
NATIONWIDE THAT 
THEY'VE HAD 
SINCE THE

HERE'S SOMETHING 
NEW. 
YOU CAN NOW 
BRING A 12-OUNCE 
BOTTLE OF 
HANDITIZER ON 
BOARD WITH YOU. 
THE TSA TOOK US 
BEHIND THE 
SCENES. 
>> WALKING INTO 
ANY AIRPORT 
THESE DAYS CAN 
SEEM EERIE. 
THE PANDEMIC HAS 
LEFT CONCOURSES, 
TICKET COUNTS, 
AND TSA 
CHECKPOINTS, 
VIRTUALLY M. THE 
LOW POINT CAME 
ON APRIL 14th, 
WHEN ONLY 87,000 
PASSENGERS FLEW, 
NATIONWIDE. 
DOWN FROM 2 1/2 
MILLION, FLYING 
EACH DAY BEFORE 
THE PANDEMIC. 
PASSENGERS 
SLOWLY RETURNED 
OVER THE SUMMER. 
TODAY, IT'S 
EXPECTED TO BE 
THE BUSIEST DAY 
YET. 
WITH 900,000 
MARRIAGES 
NATIONWIDE. 
>> AND THAT ONE 
RIGHT HERE? 
>> CHECKPOINTS 
NOW LOOK A BIT 
DIFFERENT. 
PLEXIGLAS TO 
SEPARATE 
OFFICERS AND 
PASSENGERS. 
STICKERS ON THE 
FLOOR TO KEEP 
PASSENGERS SIX 
FEET APART. 
AND NEW SELF-
SERVICE KIOSKS.

THEN MATCH IT TO 
YOUR AIRLINE 
TICKET RECORD. 
TSA CHIEF, 
ADMIRAL DAVID 
PECOS KEY. 
>> YOU WALK UP. 
TAKE YOUR 
CREDENTIAL AND 
INSERT IT INTO

THEY WILL ASK 
YOU TO PULL YOUR

YOU CAN SEE IT 
ON THE SCREEN. 
MY CREDENTIAL 
COMES OUT. 
I TAKE IT. 
NO TOUCH BETWEEN 
THE OFFICER AND 
ME OF. 
>> ALSO ROLLING 
OUT AT 434

AND MORE CT 
SCANNERS THAT 
ALLOW OFFICERS 
TO MANIPULATE 
IMAGES OF WHAT

CARRY-ON BAG. 
TO VERIFY IT'S 
NOT A THREAT. 
REDUCING THE

CHECKS. 
>> IF RITSA 
OFFICER IS GOING 
TO REACH INTO 
SOMEONE'S BACK 
AND THEN THEY'RE 
REACHING INTO MY 
BAG, DO THEY 
NEED GLOVES. 
>> IF YOU ASK 
THEM TO CHANGE 
THE GLOVES, THEY 
WILL. 
OR THEY WILL 
SANITIZE THE 
GLOVES. 
>> OFFICERS MUST 
ALSO CHANGE 
GLOVES FOR EVERY 
BODY CHECK. 
>> IS SECURITY 
BEING 
COMPROMISED 
BECAUSE OF US 
WEARING MASKS 
AND BECAUSE OF

>> YEAH. 
NOT BEING 
COMPROMISED IN 
ANY WAY, 
WHATSOEVER. 
EVERY SINGLE ONE 
OF THESE NEW 
TECHNOLOGY 
ADVANCEMENTS WE 
HAVE, FIRST OF 
ALL, IMPPROVES 
SECURITY AND A
IMPROVES A LOT.

IMPROVE SECURITY 
BUT ALSO THE

HAVING A LOADED 
GUN IN A BAG

AN AWFUL LOT OF

YOU MUST WEAR A

PRESIDENTIAL 
CANDIDATE, 
FORMER VICE 
PRESIDENT JOE 
BIDEN WAS QUICK 
TO SLAM 
PRESIDENT TRUMP 
FOR HIS HANDLING 
OF THE ECONOMY

FOCUSING ON HOW 
TO CURVE THE 
VIRUS BY RAMPING 
UP TESTING,

BIDEN HAD TO SAY 
ABOUT THE JOBS 
REPORT AND 
PRESIDENT TRUMPS 
APPROACH TO THE 
ECONOMIC CRISIS.

REINFORCES THE 
WORST FEARS AND 
PAINFUL TRUTHS 
THE ECONOMIC 
INEQUITIES THAT 
BEGAN BEFORE THE 
DOWNPOUR, 
WORSENED UNDER 
THIS FAILED 
PRESIDENCY. 
WHEN THE CRISIS 
STARTED WE HOPED 
FOR A FEW MONTH 
OF A SHUTDOWN 
FOLLOWED BY 
RAPID ECONOMIC 
TURN AROUND. 
NO ONE THOUGHT 
THEY WOULD LOSE 
THEIR JOB FOR 
GOOD OR SEE 
SMALL BUSINESSES 
SHUT DOWN. 
THAT KIND OF 
RECOVERY 
REQUIRES 
LEADERSHIP.

DIDN'T HAVE AND 
STILL DON'T 
HAVE.

TIMES. 
HE IS ACCUSED OF 
THIRD DEGREE 
SEXUAL ASSAULT 
AND DOMESTIC 
ABUSE, 
PROSECUTORS

BEFORE THE 
SHOOTING. 
GABE GUTIERREZ 
JOINS ME NOW. 
WE HAVE COME TO 
KNOW THE NAME OF 
JACOB BLAKE. 
THIS COURT 
APPEARANCE 
WASN'T ABOUT 
THAT, IT'S ABOUT 
OTHER CHARGES 
FROM EARLIER 
THIS YEAR. 
TELL US WHAT WE 
KNOW ABOUT THOSE 
AND WHAT 
HAPPENED IN 
COURT TODAY. 
>> Reporter: 
YES, A SHORT 
TIME AGO, JACOB 
BLAKE MADE HIS 
FIRST PUBLIC 
APPEARANCE SINCE 
SHOT MULTIPLE 
TIMES BY THAT 
KENOSHA POLICE 
OFFICER, HE 
APPEARED AT A 
COURT HEARING 
VIA ZOOM FROM 
HIS OWN HOSPITAL 
BED. 
THE HEARING WAS 
LARGELY 
PROCEDURAL BUT 
THE FIRST TIME 
WE HAD SEEN 
JACOB BLAKE, HE 
WORE A SHIRT AND 
TIE AND ANSWERED 
SEVERAL 
QUESTIONS 
BRIEFLY WHEN THE 
JUDGE ASKED HIM 
WHETHER HE 
UNDERSTOOD WHAT 
IT MEANT TO 
WAIVE HIS 
PRELIMINARY 
HEARING. 
HE PLEADED NOT 
GUILTY TO 
CHARGES YOU 
MENTIONED, THIRD 
DEGREE SEXUAL 
ASSAULT AS WELL 
AS CHARGES OF 
DISORDERLY 
CONDUCT AND 
CRIMINAL 
TRESPASS RELATED 
TO DOMESTIC 
ABUSE. 
ACCORDING TO THE 
CRIMINAL 
COMPLAINT, IN 
JULY, HE WENT 
AND ACCORDING TO 
THE COMPLAINT, 
SEXUALLY 
ASSAULTED A 
WOMAN HE KNEW 
AND TOOK HER 
DEBIT CARD AND 
VEHICLE AS WELL. 
THIS IS THE 
OUTSTANDING 
WARRANT IN 
EFFECT WHEN 
POLICE OFFICERS 
RESPONDED TO THE 
SCENE MORE  THAN 
10 DAYS AGO. 
AS A RESULT OF 
THE 
PRELIMINARYING 
HEARING, 
PROSECUTORS 
ASKED FOR A 
$10,000 BOND, UP 
FROM THE $500 
BOND HE PAID 
SEVERAL DAYS 
AGO. 
YOU REMEMBER 
THAT HE HAD BEEN 
HANDCUFFED TO 
HIS HOSPITAL BED 
BECAUSE THAT 
BOND HAD NOT 
BEEN PAID. 
ONCE IT WAS PAID 
HE WAS RELEASED 
FROM THE 
SHACKLES BUT HE 
REMAINS IN THE 
HOSPITAL. 
HIS CONDITION, 
AGAIN, THIS IS 
THE FIRST TIME 
WE HAVE SEEN 
HIM, HE WAS ABLE 
TO SPEAK TO THE 
JUDGE. 
ALSO HE HAD 
PREVIOUSLY 
SPOKEN EARLIER 
THIS WEEK TO 
VICE PRESIDENT 
BIDEN, THIS IS 
THE FIRST TIME 
WE HAD SEEN HIM 
THROUGH ZOOM, 
ABLE TO BE AS 
PART OF THIS 
COURT HEARING. 
>> WHAT IS NEXT 
IN THIS CASE 
AFTER HAVING 
SEEN HIM IN 
COURT VIA VIDEO 
TODAY? 
>> Reporter: 
WITH REGARDS TO 
THIS CASE, THAT 
WILL PLAY OUT IN 
THE COMING WEEKS 
AND MONTHS. 
THE LARGER 
QUESTION IS WHAT 
HAPPENS TO THE 
CASE INVOLVING 
THE OFFICERS, IF 
THERE IS ONE AT 
ALL. 
THE STATE 
AUTHORITIES IN 
WISCONSIN, 
DEPARTMENT OF 
CRIMINAL 
INVESTIGATION 
AND THE STATE'S 
ATTORNEY GENERAL 
SAY THEY HAVE 
CONDUCTED MORE 
THAN 88 
INTERVIEWS SO 
FAR IN THAT 
CASE. 
THEY PLAN TO 
PREVENT THE 
RESORT IN THAT 
CASE TO THE 
LOCAL DISTRICT 
ATTORNEY WITHIN 
THE NEXT 30 
DAYS. 
CIRCLING MANY 
PEOPLE IN 
WISCONSIN ARE 
DEMANDING 
CHARGES AGAINST 
THE OFFICERS BUT 
UNCLEAR WHETHER 
THAT WILL 
HAPPEN. 
.TRUMP VISITING 
KENOSHA ELIER 
MAKING IT A PART 
OF HIS CAMPAIGN 
OF LAW AND 
ORDER. 
THIS IS THE CASE 
THAT'S BEING 
WATCHED NOT JUST 
IN WISCONSIN BUT 
AROUND THE 
COUNTRY. 
A LOT OF 
QUESTIONS, 
THOUGH, GOING 
FORWARD ABOUT 
WHAT WILL HAPPEN 
OVER THE NEXT 30 
DAYS AND WHETHER 
THE OFFICERS 
MIGHT FACE ANY 
CHARGES. 
TODAY, WE SAW 
JACOB BLAKE FOR 
THE FIRST TIME 
IN HIS FIRST 
PUBLIC 
APPEARANCE 
THROUGH ZOOM AS 
HE WAS A PART OF 
THAT PRELIMINARY 
HEARING, OR 
COURT HEARING 
WHERE HE WAIVED 
HIS RIGHT TO A 
PRELIMINARY 
HEARING WITH 
REGARDS TO THE 
CRIMINAL CHARGES 
AGAINST HIM. 
HE PLEADED NOT 
GUILTY. 
>> THANKS SO 
MUCH. 
>>> POLICE IN 
NEW YORK CITY 
ARE SEARCHING 
FOR THE DRIVER 
WHO RAMMED 
THROUGH A CROWD 
OF PROTESTERS IN 
TIMES SQUARE. 
WE WILL PLAY 
VIDEO OF THAT 
HAPPENING LAST 
NIGHT. 
IT IS SHOCKING 
TO WANT. 
THE VIDEO SHOWS 
A BLACK SEDAN 
GOING THROUGH 
THE CROWD OF 
PROTESTERS, NO 
ONE WAS 
SERIOUSLY HURT. 
PROTESTERS WERE 
THERE IN 
RESPONSE TO THE 
DEATH OF DANIEL 
PRUDE, HE DIED 
AFTER AN 
INCIDENT WITH 
POLICE. 
THIS IS PART OF 
THE BODY CAMERA 
VIDEO OF THE 
MARCH INCIDENT 
IN ROCHESTER NEW 
YORK. 
WE DON'T KNOW 
WHAT HAPPENED. 
IN THE MOMENTS 
BEFORE. 
CATHY, THE 
OFFICERS 
INVOLVED HAVE 
BEEN SUSPENDED 
WITH PAY, WHAT 
IS THE LATEST 
GOING ON IN 
ROCHESTER TODAY? 
>> Reporter: I 
CAN TELL YOU 
THAT WE JUST 
MOMENTS AGO 
HEARD FROM THE 
MAYOR, OR 
ACTUALLY THE 
LAWYER 
REPRESENTING THE 
MAYOR. 
THEY GIVE US A 
BETTER TIME LINE 
OF HOW SHE WAS 
ABLE TO OBTAIN 
THE FOOTAGE. 
SHE GOT THE BODY 
CAM FOOTAGE 
AROUND AUGUST 
4th. 
REALLY, WAS TOLD 
NOT TO RELEASE 
TO IT THE PUBLIC 
UNDER THE 
DISCUSSION OF 
THE ATTORNEY 
GENERAL WHO IS 
THE LEAD TON 
INVESTIGATION. 
IT WAS UP TO 
FAMILY, 
ESSENTIALLY TO 
RELEASE THAT 
FOOTAGE. 
HERE ON THE 
GROUNDS IT'S 
BEEN RELATIVELY 
PEACEFUL, THERE 
WERE RALLIES 
EARLY ON IN THE 
WEEK OVERNIGHT. 
IT GOT A LITTLE 
TENSE WHEN WE 
SAW POLICE AS 
WELL AS 
PROTESTERS 
CLASHING RIGHT 
IN FRONT OF THE 
POLICE SAFETY 
BUILDING, THIS 
IS THE POLICE 
DEPARTMENT AS 
WELL AS THE 
PUBLIC SAFETY 
BUILDING, IT WAS 
SEVERAL HOURS 
INTO THE NITE 
AND THE MORNING. 
THERE WAS A 
POINT THEY A HAD 
TO DEPLOY PEPPER 
BALLS AND WE SAW 
FOOTAGE OF THE 
DEMONSTRATORS 
PUSHING IN SOME 
OF THE 
BARRICADES. 
IT GOT TENSE. 
THERE WERE 
SEVERAL ARRESTS 
THAT WERE MADE 
IN TOTAL, 8 
PEOPLE ARRESTED 
AND TWO OFFICERS 
WERE INJURED. 
WE HAVE LEARNED 
THAT THERE MAYBE 
MORE 
DEMONSTRATIONS 
PLAYING OUT 
TONIGHT AS WELL. 
. 
>> HAVE WE 
LEARNED ANYTHING 
NEW ABOUT THOSE 
OFFICERS 
SUSPENDED? 
>> Reporter: NOT 
ANYTHING MORE 
THAN WHAT WE 
LEARNED 
YESTERDAY. 
THE MAYOR 
SUSPENDED IN 
TOTAL 7 OFFICERS 
WITH PAY, HE DID 
NOT RELEASE THE 
NAMES OF OF THE 
OFFICERS BUT WE 
DID HEAR FROM 
THE POLICE UNION 
WHO DEFENDED THE 
ACTIONS OF THE 
OFFICERS. 
ONE WHO WAS 
SUSPENDED WAS 
NOT ON SITE 
DURING THE 
ARREST. 
THERE ARE A LOT 
OF QUESTIONS, A 
LOT THAT NEEDS 
TO BE SORTED 
OUT. 
THE POLICE UNION 
IS SENDING THEIR 
CONDOLENCES THE 
PRUDE FAMILY AND 
THEY WANT 
TRANSPARENCY AS 
WELL AND SAY 
THEY WANT TO 
WORK TOGETHER 
AND THE CITY AS 
WELL AS THE 
POLICE 
DEPARTMENT NEEDS 
TO WORK TOGETHER 
IN IMPROVING HOW 
THINGS ARE DONE 
HERE AND HOW 
THEY RESPOND TO 
THESE TYPES OF 
CALLS. 
>> I KNOW YOU 
SPOKE WITH 
PRUDE'S BROTHER, 
WHAT DID HE TELL 
YOU? 
>> Reporter: I 
HAD A CHANCE TO 
SIT DOWN WITH 
HIM YESTERDAY. 
OBVIOUSLY, HE IS 
DISTRESSED. 
HE IS GOING 
THROUGH A LOT OF 
EMOTIONS. 
THEY WERE VERY 
CLOSE IN AGE AND 
GREW UP IN THE 
CHICAGO AREA AND 
JOE PRUDE 
ACTUALLY PLANTED 
ROOTS HERE IN 
ROCHESTER AND HE 
WAS SAYING 
DANIEL WOULD 
VISIT HIM OFTEN 
AND WHEN HE SAW 
HIMS THERE WAS A 
POINT WHEN HE 
HAD TO CALL 911 
BECAUSE DANIEL 
WAS ACTING 
ERRATICALLY, NOT 
HIMSELF. 
THAT TRIGGERED 
THE RESPONSE 
FROM OFFICERS. 
HE SAYS HIS 
BROTHER DESERVED 
BETTER AND HE 
DIDN'T DESERVE 
TO BE TREATED 
LIKE A PIECE OF 
MEAT. 
HERE IS A LITTLE 
BIT MORE ON OUR 
CONVERSATION, 
TAKE A LISTEN.   
>> IT WAS A 
COVER UP. 
THEY KNEW WHAT 
THEM OFFICERS 
DID WAS WRONG. 
THEY COULDN'T 
ACKNOWLEDGE THE 
WRONG THAT WAS 
PLACED BY THE 
CITY AGENTS. 
THEY COULDN'T 
SAY NOTHING. 
THEY COULDN'T 
ACKNOWLEDGE MY 
FAMILY. 
>> Reporter: 
THERE IS STILL A 
LOT OF QUESTIONS 
AND OBVIOUSLY 
THE BROTHER IS 
BEING 
REPRESENTED BY 
SEVERAL 
ATTORNEYS AND 
THEY WANT 
PROSECUTION OF 
ESE OFFICERS. 
NOW, AS I 
MENTIONED, THE 
ATTORNEY GENERAL 
TAKING THE LEAD 
ON THE 
INVESTIGATION 
AND COMING 
THROUGH THE 
EVIDENCE. 
THEY ARE WORKING 
DILIGENTLY ON 
THIS CASE. 
>> BEFORE YOU 
GO, LET'S TALK 
ABOUT THE 
HARROWING 
INCIDENT IN 
TIMES SQUARE. 
WHAT HAPPENED 
THERE? 
WHAT IS THE 
LATEST ON THAT 
INVESTIGATION?
? 
>> Reporter: 
THAT IS 
SOMETHING THEY 
ARE LOOKING 
INTO, NYPD, 
THERE WAS A 
LARGE GROUP OF 
BLACK LIVES 
MATTER 
PROTESTORS AND A 
SMALLER GROUP OF 
PROTESTERS 
NEARBY. 
IT GOT HEATED. 
OFFICERS HAD TO 
STEP IN AND AS 
YOU SAW THAT CAR 
JUST GOING 
THROUGH THE 
CROWD THERE AND 
POLICE ARE 
SAYING IF YOU 
SAW THIS 
VEHICLES IF YOU 
HAPPEN TO 
WITNESS ANYONE 
INSIDE OR HAVE 
MORE DETAILS OR 
GOT DOW 
THE LICENSE 
PLATE NUMBER, 
PLEASE GIVE THEM 
A CALL. 
>> THANK YOU SO 
MUCH FOR YOUR 
REPORTING ON 
THIS. 
>>> DISGUSTING, 
THAT'S HOW 
DEMOCRATIC 
PRESIDENTIAL 
NOMINEE, JOE 
BIDEN DESCRIBE 
AS REPORT FROM 
THE ATLANTIC 
THAT SAYS 
PRESIDENT TRUMP 
CALLED MILITARY 
MEMBERS WHO DIED 
IN WAR LOSERS 
AND SUCKERS. 
BIDEN'S SPEECH 
FOCUSED TON 
ECONOMY, LET'S 
START WITH THAT 
REPORT, HE SAID 
IT IS THE 
ANGRIEST HE HAS 
BEEN SINCE HE 
HAS BEEN A 
CANDIDATE. 
THIS IS THE 
HARSHEST WORDS 
WE HAVE HEARD 
FROM THE 
DEMOCRATIC 
NOMINEE. 
>> Reporter: I 
CAN'T HEAR YOU 
BUT IMAGINE WHAT 
WE ARE TALKING 
ABOUT IS WHAT 
JOE BIDEN SAID 
TODAY. 
THAT FIERY 
SPEECH, THE 
PALPABLE ANGER 
WE HEARD FROM 
HIM YOU 
DESCRIBED WHAT 
HE SAID, HE 
CALLED THE 
COMMENTS 
PRESIDENT TRUMP 
ALLEGEDLY MADE 
DISGUSTING. 
I WAS ONE OF THE 
REPORTERS 
ALLOWED TO BE IN 
THE ROOM. 
YOU COULD FEEL 
THE MOOD SHIFT 
AS SOON AS JOE 
BIDEN GOT TO THE 
PAID YUM AND 
STARTED TALKING, 
HE SAID THIS WAS 
ANGRIER AT ANY 
OTHER POINT. 
YOU COULD FEEL 
IT BY WATCHING 
THE FOOTAGE. 
HE WASN'T JUST 
SPEAKING AS A 
FORMER VICE 
PRESIDENT, 
SOMEONE WHO 
SERVED FOR 
DECADES IN 
PUBLIC OFFICE 
BUT SPEAKING AS 
THE FATHER OF 
SOMEONE WHO ALSO 
WENT AND SERVED 
OVERSEAS, HIS 
SON, BO, LISTEN 
TO WHAT HE SAID. 
>> QUITE 
FRANKLY, IF WHAT 
IS WRITTEN IN 
THE ATLANTIC IS 
TRUE, IT'S 
DISGUSTING. 
MY SON WAS AN 
ASSISTANT U.S. 
ATTORNEY AND 
VOLUNTEERED TO 
GO TO KOSOVO 
WHILE THE WAR 
WAS GOING ON AS 
A CIVILIAN, HE 
WASN'T A SUCKER. 
MY SON 
VOLUNTEERED AND 
JOINED THE 
UNITED STATES 
MILITARY AS THE 
ATTORNEY GENERAL 
AND WENT TO IRAQ 
FOR A YEAR, WON 
A BRONZE STAR 
AND OTHER 
COMMENDATIONS. 
HE WASN'T A 
SUCKER. 
THE SERVICEMEN 
AND WOMEN HE 
SERVED WITH, 
PARTICULARLY 
THOSE WHO DID 
NOT COME HOME 
WERE NOT LOSERS. 
THE PRESIDENT 
SHOULD HUMBLY 
APOLOGIZE TO 
EVGOLD STAR 
MOTHER AND 
FATHER, EVERY 
BLUE STAR FAMILY 
THAT HE 
DENIGRATED AND 
ASSAULTED. 
>> Reporter: 
IT'S IMPORTANT 
TO NOTE THAT 
THIS MESSAGE 
THAT WE HEAD 
FROM JOE BIDEN 
TODAY, IT'S A 
NEW FRAME BUT 
THE SAME CONTENT 
WE HAVE BEEN 
HEARING FOR THE 
ENTIRETY OF HIS 
PRESIDENTIAL 
CANDIDACY. 
HE ALWAYS TALKED 
ABOUT THE BATTLE 
FOR THE SOUL OF 
THE NATION AND 
THE NEED TO HAVE 
LEADERS WHO ARE 
DECENT AND ARE 
HIGH QUALITY. 
THIS IS THE SAME 
MESSAGE THAT HE 
WAS PITCHING 
TODAY, THIS TIME 
IN THE NEW FRAME 
AND WITH ALL OF 
THIS ANGER. 
HIS MESSAGE 
REMAINED 
CONSISTENT AND 
THE MOMENT JUST 
CONTINUES TO 
MEET HIM. 
>> I GOT TO SAY 
FOR NOT BEING 
ABLE TO ANSWER 
MY QUESTION, YOU 
ANSWERED EVERY 
PART OF IT, OF 
COURSE, BECAUSE 
YOU ARE THE 
BEST. 
I THINK YOU CAN 
HEAR ME NOW, I'M 
HOPING, CAN YOU 
HEAR ME? 
>> Reporter: I 
CAN'T HEAR YOUR 
QUESTION BUT CAN 
I SEE YOU STOP 
TALKING. 
THIS WAS A 
SPEECH THAT WAS 
SUPPOSED TO BE 
ABOUT THE 
ECONOMY AND 
INSTEAD AS MUCH 
AS HE TALKED 
ABOUT THE 
ECONOMIC 
RECESSION AS 
WELL AS THE 
CORONAVIRUS 
PANDEMIC, REALLY 
THE CENTRAL 
FOCUS BECAME THE 
ALLEGED COMMENTS 
PRESIDENT TRUMP 
MADE ABOUT 
SERVICE MEMBERS 
FOR JOE BIDEN 
WHEN HE IS 
TALKING ABOUT 
THE ECONOMY, 
ESPECIALLY HERE 
TODAY, HE TALKED 
ABOUT THE LATEST 
JOBLESS NUMBERS 
WE HAVE SEEN, A 
MILLION OR SO 
JOBS HAVE COME 
BACK, HE IS 
TALKING ABOUT 
THE FACT THIS 
ECONOMIC COME 
BACK IS SLOWING 
DOWN MONTH BY 
MONTH. 
TO HIM, LINKING 
GETTING THE 
ECONOMY BACK ON 
TRACK, WITH 
TAKING CARE OF 
THE PANDEMIC. 
SOMETHING BIDEN 
SAID REPEATEDLY 
TRUMP 
MISHANDLED. 
>> A TRUE PRO 
WHO ANSWERED ALL 
MY QUESTIONS 
WITHOUT HEARING 
THEMES THANKS SO 
MUCH, ALI. 
NEXT TIME I SEE 
YOU HOPEFULLY 
YOU CAN HEAR ME. 
>>> TRUMP AND 
BIDEN HAVE HELD 
DUELING EVENTS 
IN THE SAME 
BATTLEGROUND 
STATES THIS WEEK 
AND THE STARK 
CONTRAST BETWEEN 
THE CANDIDATES 
ON POLICY HAS 
BEEN ON FULL 
DISPLAY, 
ESPECIALLY ON 
CORONAVIRUS, THE 
ECONOMY AND 
SOCIAL UNREST.   
CAROL LEE JOINS 
ME NOWS WE ARE L 
GET TO THE 
DIFFERENCES THIS 
POLICIES IN A 
MOMENT. 
HAS THE 
PRESIDENT 
RESPONDED AT ALL 
TO BIDEN SAYING 
THE QUOTE FROM 
THE ATLANTIC 
WERE DISGUSTING? 
>> Reporter: 
WELLS HE HAS 
RESPONDED TO 
WHAT IS IN THE 
ATLANTIC AND 
THAT STORY IN 
AND OF ITSELF 
MULTIPLE TIMES. 
AS SOON AS LAST 
NIGHT WHEN HE 
GOT OFF OF THE 
PLANE AT JOINT 
BASE ANDREWS 
THIS AN UN USUAL 
STATEMENT THE 
PRESIDENT 
USUALLY DOESN'T 
DO THISES HE 
SPOKE TO 
REPORTERS ON THE 
TARMAC TO DENY 
THE STORY AND HE 
HAS TWEETED 
ABOUT IT, THE 
WHITE HOUSE HAS 
COME OUT 
AGGRESSIVELY 
WITH A NUMBER OF 
PEOPLE DENYING 
THAT THE 
PRESIDENT EVER 
SAID THIS AND 
DEVELOP TODAY, 
IN THE OVAL 
OFFICE THE 
PRESIDENT WAS 
ASKED ABOUT 
THIS. 
LET'S TAKE A 
LISTEN TO WHAT 
HE HAD TO SAY. 
>> DO YOU NEED 
TO APOLOGIZE TO 
SERVICE MEMBERS 
AND VETERANS? 
>> NO, IT'S A 
FAKE STORY 
WRITTEN BY A 
MAGAZINE THAT 
WAS PROBABLY NOT 
GOING TO BE 
AROUND MUCH 
LONGER BUT IT 
WAS A TOTALLY 
FAKE STORY. 
THAT WAS 
CONFIRMED BY 
MANY PEOPLE WHO 
WERE ACTUALLY 
THERE. 
>> Reporter: A 
FAMILIAR PUSH 
BACK FROM THE 
PRESIDENT SAYING 
THIS WAS FAKE 
NEWS HE DIDN'T 
SAY THESE THINGS 
AND SOURCES WERE 
MADE UP. 
YOU HAVEN'T SEEN 
A NUMBER OF 
GENERALS WHO 
HAVE WORKED FOR 
THIS PRESIDENT, 
PAST, PRESENT, 
COME OUT AND 
REALLY VOCALLY 
DEFEND HIM ON 
THIS. 
ALSO, WE SAW THE 
PRESIDENT THIS 
HIS DEFENSE, 
WORTH NOTING, 
LATCH ON TO HIS 
FORMER NATIONAL 
SECURITY 
ADVISOR, JOHN 
BOLTON WHO 
TRASHED HIS BOOK 
AND SAID 
BOLTON'S BOOK IS 
FULL OF LIES AND 
MADE UP STORIES 
ABOUT HIM. 
IN THE BOOK, 
BOLTON SAID 
WHILE HE WAS 
THIS PARIS, 
WHERE THIS EVENT 
HAPPENED WHERE 
THE PRESIDENT 
ALLEGEDLY SAID 
THESE 
DISPARAGING 
THINGS ABOUT 
VETERANS AND 
SERVICE MEMBER 
WHOSE DIED, 
BOLTON SAID HE 
DIDN'T HEAR 
ANYTHING LIKE 
THAT. 
HE ALSO HAD 
INTERVIEWS TODAY 
WHERE HE SAID 
THIS ISN'T LIKE 
PEOPLE ARE 
COMING OUT AND 
SAYING THIS 
DOESN'T SOUND 
LAKE THE 
PRESIDENT I 
KNOW. 
THE PRESIDENT IS 
LATCHING ON TO 
HIS COMMENTS.   
>> LET'S SWITCH 
GEARS TO THE 
DIFFERENCES 
BETWEEN TRUMP 
AND BIDEN THAT 
WE HAVE SEEN AS 
THEY HAVE BEEN 
TOURING THE 
STATES THIS 
WEEK. 
BIDEN HAD AN AD 
FOCUSING ON RACE 
RELATIONS. 
LET'S WATCH FOR 
A SECOND. 
>> WHY IN THIS 
NATION, DO BLACK 
AMERICANS WAKE 
UP KNOWING THEY 
CAN LOSE THEY 
LIVES IN THE 
COWS OF LIVING 
THEIR LIVES? 
>> PART OF 
FREEDOM IS BEING 
FREE FROM 
INJUSTICE. 
>> WE UNDERSTAND 
THEIR STRUGGLE 
AND THE FACT 
THEY DESERVE TO 
BE TREATED WITH 
DIGNITY. 
THEY GOT TO KNOW 
WE ARE 
LISTENING. 
>> OBVIOUSLY 
BIDEN'S RESPONSE 
TO THE SOCIAL 
UNREST WE HAVE 
BEEN SEEING IS 
DIFFERENT THAN 
PRESIDENT 
TRUMP'S. 
WALK US THROUGH 
WHAT WE HAVE 
SEEN.   
>> Reporter: IF 
THEY ARE 
CAMPAIGNING IN 
TWO SEPARATE 
ELECTIONS, THEY 
ARE TALKING PAST 
EACH OTHER MAYBE 
IN THE SAME 
PLACE BUT 
DRAMATICALLY 
DIFFERENT 
MESSAGES, WE SAW 
BOTH PRESIDENT 
TRUMP AND FORMER 
VICE PRESIDENT 
BIDEN IN KENOSHA 
THIS WEEK AND 
THEY TOOK 
DRASTICALLY 
DIFFERENT 
APPROACHES, 
PRESIDENT TRUMP 
HE MET WITH LAW 
ENFORCEMENT, HE 
TALKED ABOUT 
THIS LAW AND 
ORDER MESSAGE WE 
HEARD HIM HIT 
REPEATEDLY AND 
INCREASINGLY AS 
WE GET CLOSER TO 
THE ELECTION AND 
BIDEN GO TO 
KENOSHA AND MET 
WITH THE FAMILY 
OF JACOB BLAKE, 
THE FIRST THING 
HE DID WHEN HE 
GOT OFF OF THE 
PLANE AND HAD A 
DIFFERENT 
MESSAGE TALKING 
ABOUT THE 
INJUSTICE AND 
RACISM AND LAW 
ENFORCEMENT, 
WHERE AS 
PRESIDENT TRUMP 
SAID THERE ISN'T 
SYSTEMIC RACISM 
THIS LAW 
ENFORCEMENT. 
THIS ONE OF THE 
MANY WAYS THAT 
WE HAVE SEEN THE 
PRESIDENT AND 
THE FORMER VICE 
PRESIDENT REALLY 
JUST DIVERGE 
INTO HOW THEY 
ARE HANDLING THE 
SAME ISSUES, THE 
SOCIAL UNREST IS 
ONE OF THREE 
PILLARS WE ARE 
SEEING IN THE 
2020 ELECTION. 
ALSO THE ECONOMY 
AND OTHER 
ISSUES, WHERE 
THEY ARE BOTH 
APPROACHING IT 
VERY 
DIFFERENTLIES 
THOUGH THEY ARE 
TRAVELING ON THE 
SAME TURF.   
>> ONE OF THOSE 
OTHER CENTRAL 
ISSUES FOR BOTH 
CANDIDATES IS 
THE CORONAVIRUS, 
IT'S BECOME A 
CENTRAL ISSUE 
FOR ALL OF OUR 
LIVES. 
TELL US HOW EACH 
CAMPAIGN IS 
FRAMING THEIR 
MESSAGING ON 
THIS? 
>> Reporter: ONE 
IS TALKING ABOUT 
IT, ONE IS NOT. 
FORMER VICE 
PRESIDENT BIDEN, 
HITTING THE 
PRESIDENT AS 
OFTEN AS HE CAN 
ON HIS RESPONSE 
AND HIS HANDLING 
OF THIS 
PANDEMIC. 
BOTH WERE IN 
SEPARATE STATES 
BUT CITIES NAMED 
WILMINGTON, 
FORMER PRESIDENT 
IN DELAWARE AND 
PRESIDENT TRUMP 
WAS IN NORTH 
CAROLINA, I WAS 
WITH HIM IN 
NORTH CAROLINA. 
NORTH CAROLINA 
IS A STATE THAT 
IS IMPORTANT TO 
THE PRESIDENT. 
IT IS SEEING A 
SPIKE IN CASES 
IN RECENT WEEKS. 
12,000 CASES 
ALONE IN THE 
PAST WEEK, THEY 
HAD 2800 DEATHS. 
THE PRESIDENT 
MADE NO MENTION 
OF THE 
CORONAVIRUS 
WHILE HE WAS 
THERE, HE 
FOCUSED ON 
VETERANS AND 
COMMEMORATING 
THENED OF WORLD 
WAR II, 75th 
ANNIVERSARY AND 
CONTRAST THAT 
WITH BIDEN, HIS 
WAS ABOUT 
CORONAVIRUS AND 
THE WAY THIS HAS 
BEEN HANDLED AND 
FOCUSED ON THE 
RISK IT IS TO 
CHILDREN. 
WHAT WE HAVE 
SEEN FROM 
PRESIDENT TRUMP, 
HE DOESN'T WANT 
TO TALK ABOUT 
THAT, HIS TEAM 
DOESN'T THINK 
THAT'S A WINNING 
ISSUE FOR HIM. 
VICE PRESIDENT 
BIDEN WOULD LIKE 
TO TALK ABOUT 
THAT ALL THE 
TIME. 
>> ONE OF THE 
OTHER PILLARS IN 
THIS ELECTION IS 
THE ECONOMY AND 
A NBC WALL 
STREET JOURNAL 
POLL HAS 
PRESIDENT TRUMP 
BEATING BIDEN. 
>> THIS HAS BEEN 
SOMETHING THAT'S 
CONSISTENT FOR 
PRESIDENT TRUMP, 
HIS MARKS ON THE 
ECONOMY, 
EVERYTHING ELSE, 
HIS APPROVAL 
RATING, HANDLING 
OF CORONAVIRUS 
IS TAKEN A HIT. 
HIS HANDLING OF 
THE ECONOMY 
REMAINS STRONG, 
THIS GOES BACK 
TO 2016, VOTERS 
SAW HIM AS A 
BUSINESS MAN, 
SOMEBODY WHO CAN 
GET THE ECONOMY 
GOING AND GOOD 
FOR THE ECONOMY. 
HE 
INHERITED AN 
ECONOMY THAT WAS 
ON A TRAJECTORY, 
HE WAS SEEING 
THAT THROUGH AND 
MAKING DECISIONS 
THAT HELPED WITH 
KEEPING THE 
ECONOMY ON THE 
RIGHT TRACK. 
THOUGH WE HAVE 
SEEN THE ECONOMY 
TAKE A MASSIVE 
HIT BECAUSE OF 
THE PANDEMIC, 
THE PRESIDENT 
HELD ON TO THAT 
APPROVAL RATING 
OF HIS HANDLING 
OF THE ECONOMY 
STRONGLY AND 
PRETTY 
CONSISTENTLY. 
THAT IS THE ONE 
PLACE WHERE HIS 
CAMPAIGN, YOU 
WILL HEAR THEM 
TALK ABOUT THE 
ECONOMY A LOT, 
TALKING ABOUT 
THE STOCK 
MARKET. 
THEY FEEL THE 
MORE THEY CAN 
INSTILL IN 
PEOPLE, THIS IS 
A PRESIDENT 
THAT'S GOING TO 
BE THE ONE TO 
TURN THE ECONOMY 
BACK AROUND THAT 
HE BUILT IT UP 
ONCE AND CAN DO 
IT AGAIN, THAT'S 
A WINNING 
ARGUMENT FOR 
THEM. 
THESE POLLS SHOW 
THAT, SHOW WHY 
THAT IS, PEOPLE 
HAVE CONFIDENCE 
IN HIM.  
. 
>> LOTS OF STARK 
DIFFERENCE, 
THANK YOU FOR 
BREAKING THEM 
DOWN FOR US. 
SEE YOU SOON. 
>>> NORTH 
CAROLINA IS 
KICKING OFF THE 
2020 
PRESIDENTIAL 
ELECTION TODAY 
AS THE FIRST 
STATE TO MAIL 
OUT ABSENTEE 
BALLOTS TO 
VOTERS FOR THE 
GENERAL 
ELECTION. 
643,000 VOTERS 
HAVE REQUESTED 
MAIL IN BALLOTS 
SO FAR, THAT'S 
17 TIMES THE 
NUMBER OF 
REQUESTS 
COMPARED TO THIS 
TIME BACK IN 
2016. 
IT'S LARGELY 
BECAUSE OF THE 
PANDEMIC. 
JOSH, THAT IS A 
MASSIVE INCREASE 
IN BALLOT 
REQUESTS. 
HOW IS THE 
STATE'S ELECTION 
COMMISSION 
PLANNING TO 
HANDLE THIS 
INFLUX OF VOTES? 
CAN THEY 
HANDLE THIS 
INFLUX OF VOTES? 
>> Reporter: 
THEY SAY IT'S 
ABOUT BEING 
EARLY. 
THOUGH WE ARE 
TWO MONTHS OUT 
FROM ELECTION 
DAY, THEY ARE 
STARTING TO SEND 
OUT BALLOTS 
HERE, IN FACT, 
WE HAVE BEEN 
WATCHING AS THEY 
WERE STARTING TO 
GET THOSE 
BALLOTS THAT HAD 
BEEN REQUESTED, 
READY TO GO EVEN 
BEFORE TODAY. 
GETTING THEM PUT 
INTO THE 
ENVELOPES, THE 
ADDRESS LABELS 
PUT ON, PUT INTO 
CARTONS AND 
STACKED HIGH 
ONTO BIG WOODEN 
PALLETS, HIGHER 
THAN MY HEIGHT 
AND LOADED ON TO 
TRUCKS READY TO 
GO TO THE POST 
MAIL TODAY. 
THEY ARE HELPED 
BY THE FACT THAT 
THEY ARE ABLE TO 
START PROCESSING 
BALLOTS TO GET 
RETURNED BEFORE 
ELECTION DAY. 
THEY WON'T COUNT 
THOSE BALLOTS 
BECAUSE YOU ARE 
NOT ALLOWED TO 
DO THAT UNTIL 
TWO WEEKS BEFORE 
ELECTION DAY. 
THEY ARE GOING 
TO WAIT UNTIL 
ELECTION DAY TO 
DO THE COUNTING. 
THEY WILL START 
GETTING THEM 
READY AND PUT IN 
THE MACHINES, SO 
WHEN IT COMES 
TIME THEY CAN 
PRESS A BUTTON 
AND RUN A REPORT 
AND GET RESULTS 
FROM THE MAIL IN 
BALLOTS AND HOPE 
THAT WILL HELP 
THEM DEAL WITH 
THIS MASSIVE 
INFLUX OF MAIL 
IN VOTES. 
>> WHEN YOU MAIL 
IN YOUR VOTE YOU 
WANT TO MAKE 
SURE IT COUNTS. 
HOW CAN A NORTH 
CAROLINA VOTER 
CHECK ON THE 
STATUS OF THEIR 
VOTE? 
IS THAT A 
POSSIBILITY? 
>> Reporter: 
YEAH, IT IS. 
IT'S A GOOD 
QUESTION. 
THERE ARE THREE 
WAYS HERE IN 
NORTH CAROLINA 
THAT YOU CAN 
CHECK TO MAKE 
SURE THAT YOUR 
MAIL IN VOTE WAS 
RECEIVED AND 
PROPERLY 
COUNTED, THERE 
IS A WEBSITE AND 
THERE IS AN APP, 
YOU CAN CALL THE 
BOARD OFFICIALS 
TO ASK TO MAKE 
SURE THEY GOT 
YOUR BALLOT. 
I HAVE BEEN 
SPEAKING WITH THE
DIRECTOR OF THE 
ELECTION BOARD. 
HE HAS OTHER 
SUGGESTIONS. 
TAKE A LISTEN. 
>> REALLY TWO 
THINGS YOU NEED 
TO MAKE SURE YOU 
DO, MAKE SURE 
YOU SIGN IT. 
WE WANT YOUR 
VOTE TO COUNT. 
MAKE SURE YOU 
GET YOUR 
WITNESS, DON'T 
LET THAT WITNESS 
WALK AWAY, 
UNLESS YOU 
VERIFY THEY 
PRINTED THEIR 
NAME AND WRITTEN 
THEIR ADDRESS 
AND SIGNED. 
>> TELL PEOPLE, 
REQUEST YOUR 
ABSENTEE BALLOT 
NOW. 
REQUEST YOUR 
ABSENTEE BALLOT 
NOW AS A SAFETY 
NET. 
IN CASE 
SOMETHING SHOULD 
HAPPEN, 
UNFORESEEN, 
UNFORESEEN 
CIRCUMSTANCE, 
THAT YOU NEED A 
SAFETY NET TO 
MAKE SURE YOU 
CAN STILL CAST 
YOUR VOTE. 
>> Reporter: YOU 
SHOULD CHECK 
BASED ON YOUR 
STATE. 
IT'S DIFFERENT 
STATE TO STATE. 
HERE IN NORTH 
CAROLINA, IF YOU 
REQUEST A BALLOT 
AND DON'T RETURN 
IT, YOU CAN VOTE 
IN PERSON, IT'S 
NOT A PROBLEM. 
OTHER STATES 
WILL REQUIRE YOU 
TO BRING YOUR 
ABSENTEE BALLOT 
AND SURRENDER IT 
TO AUTHORITIES 
BEFORE YOU WILL 
BE ALLOWED TO 
CAST AN IN-
PERSON VOTE. 
YOU CAN CAST A 
PROVISIONAL 
VOTE, IF YOU ARE 
UNSURE, 
AUTHORITIES WILL 
HOLD ON TO THAT 
WHEN THEY DO THE 
AUDIT AND FIGURE 
OUT IF YOU VOTED 
AND MAKE SURE 
YOUR VOTE GETS 
COUNTED ONE WAY 
OR ANOTHER. 
>> JOB, YOU ARE 
POINTING OUT THE 
THINGS THAT 
VOTERS SHOULD 
KNOW ABOUT HOW 
IT WORKS IN 
THEIR STATE. 
IT'S CONFUSING. 
THERE ARE THE 
LITTLE NUANCES. 
LET'S TALK ABOUT 
FACT EARLIER 
THIS WEEK 
PRESIDENT TRUMP 
SAID NORTH 
CAROLINA VOTERS 
SHOULD CAST 
THEIR VOTE, MAIL 
IT IN AND HE 
SUGGESTED THEY 
VOTE A SECOND 
TIME IN PERSON, 
KIND OF TO SEE 
IF THEY WOULD BE 
ALLOWED TO VOTE 
TO SEE IF THE 
MAIL IN ONE HAD 
BEEN COUNTED. 
VOTING TWICE IS 
A FEDERAL CRIME, 
HOW ARE 
OFFICIALS 
BRACING FOR THE 
POSSIBILITY OF 
DUPLICATE VOTES 
ESPECIALLY AFTER 
WE HEARD THAT 
FROM THE THE 
PRESIDENT. 
>> Reporter: A 
BANNER THEY PUT 
ON TOP OF THE 
WEBSITE THAT 
DOUBLE VOTING IS 
ILLEGAL. 
AS FAR AS HOW 
THEY MAKE SURE 
VOTERS ARE NOT 
ABLE TO VOTE 
TWICE, THERE IS 
A RIGOROUS 
SYSTEM IN PLACE. 
HERE IN NORTH 
CAROLINA, ALMOST 
EVERY STATE IN 
THE COUNTRY THEY 
HAVE WHAT IS 
CALLED 
ELECTRONIC POLL 
LISTS. 
WHEN YOU SEND IN 
YOUR MAIL IN 
BALLOT, THE 
SECOND IT IS 
ACCEPTED OR IF 
YOU WERE TO VOTE 
IN PERSON, IT 
GETS ENTERED 
INTO A SYSTEM, 
YOU GET MARKED 
AS HAVING 
ALREADY VOTED. 
IF YOU TRY TO 
VOTE AGAIN, THEY 
ARE GOING TO SEE 
YOU VOTED AND 
REJECT THAT 
VOTE. 
FOR THOSE MAIL 
IN BALLOTS THAT 
ARRIVE ON 
ELECTION DAY, 
WHILE PEOPLE ARE 
GOING TO THE 
POLLS, THEY WILL 
HOLD THE MAIL IN 
VOTES UNTIL 
AFTER ELECTION 
DAY AND SEE 
WHETHER THE 
PEOPLE SHOWED UP 
ON ELECTION DAY 
AND CAST A 
BALLOT SO THEY 
KNOW NOT TO 
COUNT THEIR MAIL 
IN VOTE. 
WHATEVER VOTE 
ARRIVES FIRST 
GETS COUNTED AND 
THEY HAVE THE 
COMPUTER SYSTEMS 
THAT MAKE SURE 
IF A SECOND VOTE 
ARRIVES, IT DOES 
NOT GET COUNTED. 
>> JOSH, THANK 
YOU FOR BREAKING 
THAT DOWN FOR 
US. 
A LOT OF PEOPLE 
MIGHT BE RATTLED 
NOT KNOWING WHAT 
TO DO AND HOW TO 
GET THERE AND 
GET THEIR VOTE 
IN. 
THANKS FOR 
HELPING US OUT.

ARE OUT PAINTING 
A MIXED PICTURE 
OF THE ECONOMY, 
THE U.S. ADDED 
1.4 MILLION JOBS 
IN AUGUST, THE 
UNEMPLOYMENT 
RATE FELL INTO 
THE SINGLE 
DIGITS TO 8.4% 
FOR THE FIRST 
TIME SINCE THE 
START OF THE 
PANDEMIC. 
JO LING KENT 
JOINS NOW, BREAK 
DOWN THESE 
NUMBERS WHERE WE 
ARE SEEING THESE 
HIRES. 
>> Reporter: 
IT'S IS GOOD 
NEWS, IT IS 
BETTER THAN WHAT 
WALL STREET 
EXPECTATIONS 
WERE. 
WE ARE MOVING IN 
THE RIGHT 
DIRECTIONS THERE 
IS A LONG WAY TO 
GO. 
WHEN YOU LOOK AT 
UNEMPLOYMENT 
OVERALL, LET'S 
LOOK AT THE 
COMMUNITIES 
IMPACTED BY IT. 
BLOCK 
UNEMPLOYMENT IS 
DOUBLE -- BLACK 
UNEMPLOYMENT IS 
DOUBLE WHAT 
WHITE 
UNEMPLOYMENT IS. 
YOU ALSO SEE 
THERE IS A 
DISPROPORTIONATE 
UNEVENNESS, 
SLIGHTLY NOW, 
THAT GAP IS 
CLOSING BETWEEN 
MEN AND WOMEN, 
WOMEN HIT HARDER 
BY UNEMPLOYMENT 
THAN OTHERS BUT 
IF YOU LOOK AT 
THAT NUMBER OF 
HOW MANY JOBS 
WERE CREATED 1.4 
MILLION, WITHIN 
THAT A HUGE 
CHUNK OF 
THATTING 250,000 
JOBS WERE 
CREATED BY THE 
U.S. CENSUS 
BUREAU THOSE ARE 
THE TEMPORARY 
CENSUS TAKERS 
DEPLOYEDS THOSE 
JOBS WILL END IN 
THE FALL WHEN 
THE CENSUS IS 
DOPE, WHEN THE 
TRUMP 
ADMINISTRATION 
ENDS THAT 
PROGRAM EARLY. 
WHEN YOU SEE THE 
GAINS YOU HAVE 
TO TAKE THAT 
INTO 
CONSIDERATION AS 
WELL. 
SOME OF THE BEST 
PERFORMING IN 
TERMS OF JOB 
GAINS, WE SAW 
RETAIL, 
PROFESSIONAL 
BUSINESS 
SERVICES DID 
WELL, 
HOSPITALITY, 
EDUCATION AND 
HEALTH. 
THE CONTEXT 
BEHIND THIS 
REMEMBER THE  
$600 A WEEK, 
THAT ENDED AT 
THE END OF JULY. 
THE SURVEY WAS 
TAKEN IN THE 
EARLY PART OF 
AUGUST. 
WE DON'T REALLY 
HAVE A GREAT 
SENSE YET OF HOW 
MANY PEOPLE ARE 
REALLY AFFECTED 
IN TERMS OF 
THEIR JOBS AND 
SPENDING AND 
THINGS LIKE THAT 
BECAUSE IT WAS 
TAKEN SO EARLY 
IN THE MONTH. 
SEPTEMBER FOR A 
LOT OF 
ECONOMISTSES 
THAT'S THE KEY 
MONTH THEY ARE 
GOING TO BE 
LOOKING AT. 
>> WHILE WE 
DON'T HAVE THIS 
FULL PICTURE WE 
KNOW THE 1.4 
MILLION JOBS 
WERE ADDED AND 
DOWN MORE THAN 
11 MILLION JOBS 
SINCE THE START 
OF THE PANDEMIC. 
WHAT IS THE 
STATE OF THE 
ECONOMY RIGHT 
NOW? 
>> Reporter: I 
WOULD SAY WE 
HAVE TO REALLY 
WAIT AND SEE HOW 
THAT LAST 
QUARTER OF THE 
YEAR GOES, SO 
MANY PEOPLE 
SPEND AND 
BUSINESSES MAKE 
MOST OF THEY 
MONEY IN THE 
LAST QUARTER, 
ESPECIALLY WHEN 
IT COMES TO 
CRITICAL RETAIL 
AND BIG 
BUSINESSES. 
THE ISSUE HERE, 
TOO IS ABOUT 
SPENDING. 
AS MUCH AS WE 
WANT TO FOCUS ON 
JOBS NUMBERS AND 
UNEMPLOYMENT, 
THOSE ARE 
CRITICAL. 
THE OTHER PILLAR 
HOLDING UP THE 
TABLE THAT'S THE 
AMERICAN ECONOMY 
IS CONSUMER 
SPENDING. 
IF YOU HAVE 
WEEKLY 
UNEMPLOYMENT 
CLAIMS, THOSE TO 
A MILLION, 
PEOPLE ARE 
UNABLE TO SPEND 
MONEY. 
THAT'S WHERE YOU 
WILL SEE GROCERY 
AND RETAIL HURT 
MORE THAN THEY 
ALREADY HAVE. 
THAT'S WHAT I'M 
WATCHING GOING 
FORWARD THIS 
MONTH. 
>> I THINK WE 
ARE STARTING TO 
SEE THE SMALL 
BUSINESSES AND 
RESTAURANTS THAT 
ARE JUST NOT 
MAKING IT 
THROUGH THIS 
TIME BECAUSE 
PEOPLE ARE NOT 
ABLE TO SPEND 
MONEY. 
THANK YOU, JOE. 
>>> TODAY'S JOBS 
NUMBERS GOT A 
BOOST FROM THE 
340,000 HIRES 
MADE BY THE SEND 
US THE BUREAU. 
THE GAINS COULD 
HAVE BEEN 
BIGGER, THE 
BUREAU HAD FEWER 
WORKERS THAN IN 
2010 AND SOME 
CENSUS WORKERS 
NOW TELL NBC

THEIR HOURS 
DRASTICALLY CUT.

THE STORY.

MONEY, KNOCKING 
ON DOORS FOR THE 
CENSUS. 
>> I WAS 
EXPECTING TO 
WORK 40 HOURS A 
WEEK. 
>> Reporter: HE 
WORKED 20 HOURS 
A WEEK, FOR TWO 
WEEKS. 
>> THIS IS 
ENTIRELY 
DISORGANIZED AND 
LACKS FEELING OF 
PREPARATION OR 
ORDER AT ALL. 
>> Reporter: WE 
SPOKE WITH FIVE 
WORKERS 
FRUSTRATED FROM 
LACK OF 
COMMUNICATION 
FROM MANAGEMENT 
AND GLITCHES IN 
THE APP, 
COULDN'T HAVE 
COME AT A WORST 
TIME FOR PEOPLE 
THAT NEEDED THE 
INCOME. 
SOME CENSUS 
TAKERS FEAR 
RETRIBUTION FOR 
SPEAKING OUT, TJ 
NOT HIS REAL 
NAME AND ASKED 
US TO MAKE SURE 
HE IS GIVING US 
HIS PERSONAL 
VIEWS, ANOTHER 
EMPLOYEE WOULD 
ONLY LET US USE 
HER VOICE. 
>> I WAS LOOKING 
FORWARD TO 
MAKING $25 AN 
HOUR. 
THAT SOUNDED 
LIKE A DECENT 
THING. 
>> Reporter: SHE 
WAS COUNTING ON 
MAKING $8000 
OVER 3 MONTHS OF 
WORK. 
>> I DIDN'T HEAR 
FROM THEM FOR 
THREE MONTHS. 
>> Reporter: THE 
CENSUS BUREAU 
HIRED FAR FEWER 
CENSUS TAKERS 
THAN IN PREVIOUS 
YEARS, IN 2010 
IT HIRED MORE 
THAN 700,000 
CENSUS TAKERS. 
THEY ONLY HIRED 
300,000 CENSUS 
TAKERS BY MID 
AUGUST, 2020, 
ACCORDING TO THE 
GOVERNMENT 
ACCOUNTABILITY 
OFFICE. 
DUE TO THE 
PANDEMIC THE 
BUREAU STOPPED 
ITS FIELD 
OPERATIONS IN 
MARCH, JUST ONE 
WEEK AFTER 
STARTING THE 
COUNT FOR MOST 
OF THE U.S. THE 
DEADLINE WAS 
EXTENDED TO 
OCTOBER 31st. 
THE AGENCY DID 
NOT RESUME UNTIL 
JUNE. 
IN EARLY AUGUST, 
THE TRUMP 
ADMINISTRATION 
ANNOUNCED IT WAS 
ENDING THE COUNT 
FOUR WEEKS EARLY 
ON SEPTEMBER 
30th. 
THAT MEANS FEWER 
PAID HOUSE FOR 
SOME WORKERS 
BANKING ON A 
PAYCHECK AND A 
TOUGH JOB 
MARKET. 
>> IF I GET TO 
WORK FOR $15 AN 
HOUR, STARTING 
JUNE, I WOULD 
HAVE MADE MORE 
MONEY. 
IT IS MONEY THAT 
I WAS RELY ON.

SPOKESPERSON FOR 
THE CENSUS SAYS 
THEY HIRED FOR 
QUOTE WHAT THEY 
NEED TO DECADE 
BECAUSE OF THE 
TRANSITION FROM 
PAPER TO DIGITAL 
COUNTING, THEY 
NEEDED FEWER 
CENSUS TAKERS. 
RESPONDING TO 
THE 
UNORGANIZATION, 
THEY SAID WHEN 
YOU HAVE THAT 
LARGE OF A WOULD 
BE FORCE, THERE 
CAN BE CHAOSES 
THAT'S PART OF 
THE DYNAMIC OF 
WORKING IN THE 
CENSUS 
ENVIRONMENT. 
>>> IF WE DO GET 
A VACCINE THIS 
FALL, WHEN CAN 
YOU EXPECT TO 
GET ONE? 
RON ALLEN SAT 
DOWN WITH THE 
NATION'S LEADING 
INFECTIOUS 
DISEASE DOCTOR, 
DR. ANTHONY 
FAUCI TO TALK 
ABOUT THAT. 
>> Reporter: 
PFIZERS WILL 
HAVE THE RESULTS 
IN OCTOBER , THE 
PRESIDENT SAID 
THERE COULD BE A 
VACCINE APPROVED 
BEFORE THE 
ELECTION. 
WHAT IS THE 
REALISTIC TIME 
FRAME? 
>> I HAVE SAID 
MULTIPLE TIMES 
THE PROJECTION 
WOULD BE BY THE 
END OF NOVEMBER, 
DECEMBER, OF 
THIS CALENDAR 
YEAR THAT WE 
WOULD HAVE AN 
ANSWER WHETHER 
OR NOT WE HAVE A 
SAFE AND 
EFFECTIVE 
VACCINE THAT'S 
APPROVABLE. 
>> IS IT 
POSSIBLE THAT IT 
COULD BE BEFORE 
THEN AND THE 
ANSWER IS YES. 
I THINK IT'S 
UNLIKELY BUT I 
THINK IT'S 
POSSIBLE. 
THE POSSIBILITY 
WILL BE DICTATED 
BY, FOR EXAMPLE, 
IF YOU HAVE THE 
TRIAL, BEING 
TAKEN PLACE IN 
AN AREA THAT 
HAPPENS TO HAVE 
A LOT OF 
INFECTIONS, YOU 
MAY GET AN 
ANSWER SOONER 
THAN YOU WOULD 
HAVE PROJECTED 
BECAUSE THE 
ANSWER IS EVENT 
DRIVEN. 
ITS NOT DRIVEN 
BY THE TIME OF 
THE TRIAL OR BY 
THE NUMBER OF 
PEOPLE IN THE 
TRIAL. 
IT'S DRIVEN BY 
THE NUMBER OF 
EVENTS OR 
INFECTIONS AS IT 
WERE THAT YOU 
HAVE IN THE 
PLACEBO GROUP 
VERSUS THE 
EXPERIMENTAL 
GROUP. 
MY PREDICTION IS 
GOING TO BE 
NOVEMBER-
DECEMBER. 
I WOULDN'T BE 
SURPRISED IF IT 
HAPPENED BEFORE 
THEN? 
WHAT ABOUT ROLL 
OUT OF A 
VACCINE? 
>> RIGHT NOW, 
THERE ARE 
MECHANISMS IN 
PLACE TO MAKE 
DOSES OF 
VACCINES EVEN 
BEFORE WE KNOW 
WHETHER IT WORKS 
OR NOT AND THERE 
ARE PREORDERS 
AND PREPURCHASES 
OF VACCINES ON 
THE PART OF THE 
FEDERAL 
GOVERNMENT. 
THE WAY IT LOOKS 
LIKE IT WILL 
PLAY OUTING BY 
THE TIME WE GET 
TO THE END OF 
THE YEAR, WE 
WILL HAVE A FEW 
TO 10,000,000S 
OF DOSES, WE 
WON'T HAVE 
HUNDREDS OF 
MILLIONS OF 
DOSES. 
AS WE GET INTO 
2021 THE 
BEGINNING FIRST 
QUARTER AND HALF 
OF THE YEAR, YOU 
ARE TALKING 
ABOUT SEVERAL 
TENS IF NOT 
HUNDRED OF 
MILLIONS OF 
DOSES. 
>> THERE IS A 
SURGE OF CASES 
THIS THE 
MIDWEST, 
COLLEGES, THIS 
IS SOMETHING 
EVERYBODY IS 
CONDITIONED 
ABOUT. 
WHAT SHOULD 
COLLEGES BE 
DOING? 
SENDING STUDENT 
HOME? 
MORE TESTING? 
WHAT SHOULD 
COLLEGES BE 
DOING? 
>> COLLEGES ARE 
DOING DIFFERENT 
MODELS. 
SOME ARE DOING 
EVERYTHING 
VIRTUAL AND 
ONLINE. 
THAT'S NOT WHAT 
MANY OF THE 
COLLEGES ARE 
DOING. 
MANY ARE TESTING 
EVERYBODY BEFORE 
THEY GET ON, 
INTO THE DOMES, 
INTO THE DORMS 
AND DOING 
SURVEILLANCE. 
THE IMPORTANT 
THING IS TO HAVE 
THE CAPABILITY 
WHEN A STUDENT 
GETS INFECTED, 
RATHER THAN 
CLOSING 
EVERYTHING DOWN 
OR SENDING THEM 
HOME TO HAVE A 
DORM OR A FLOOR 
OF A DORM WHERE 
THEY CAN SAFELY 
AND COMFORTABLY 
SEGREGATE THEM 
FROM THE REST OF 
THE STUDENTS BUT 
WE ARE NOT 
RECOMMENDING 
THAT THEY SEND 
AN INFECTED 
COLLEGE STUDENT 
HOME. 
WHAT YOU ARE 
DOING IS YOU ARE 
GETTING THE 
INFECTED PERSON 
AND PUTTING THEM 
BACK IN THE 
COMMUNITY TO 
SPREAD 
INFECTIONS. 
THE BEST THIN TO 
DO IS KEEP THEM 
ON CAMPUS, KEEP 
THEM SEGREGATED 
FROM THE REST OF 
THE STUDENTS BUT 
NOT TELLING THEM 
TO GO HOME. 
>> AFRICAN 
AMERICAN MEDICAL 
STUDENTS IS 
ABOUT THE SAME 
AS IT WAS 
DECADES AGO. 
ESPECIALLY MEN. 
HOW DO YOU SOLVE 
THIS PROBLEM AND 
HOW BIG A 
PROBLEM DO YOU 
SEE THAT AS? 
>> IT'S A BIG 
PROBLEM. 
WE HAVE GOT TO 
GET MORE 
MINORITY 
STUDENTS INTO 
MEDICAL SCHOOL 
AND NURSING 
SCHOOL, MOSTLY 
MEDICAL SCHOOLS. 
YOU WANT THE 
MEDICAL STAFF 
THROUGHOUT THE 
COUNTRY TO 
REFLECT AS MUCH 
AS POSSIBLE WHAT 
THE DEMOGRAPHY 
OF THE COUNTRY 
IS. 
WE ABSOLUTELY 
NEED MORE 
MINORITY, 
PARTICULARLY 
AFRICAN AMERICAN 
MEDICAL STUDENTS 
AND ULTIMATELY 
PHYSICIANS.

WHAT DO WE KNOW 
ABOUT RUSSIA'S 
VACCINE? 
>> THEY APPROVED 
THEIR VACCINE 
BECAUSE OF THE 
RESULTS THEY GOT 
IN THE SMALL 
TRIAL AND SAID 
100% OF THE 
PARTICIPANTS IN 
THE TRIALS HAD 
ANTIBODIES 
AGAINST 
CORONAVIRUS AND 
IT SEEMED TO BE

EACH TRIAL HAD 
38 PARTICIPANTS,

PARTICIPANTS IN 
EACH TRIAL, WHEN 
WE GET PARTWAY 
THROUGH THE 
30,000, THEY 
WILL LOOK AT THE

THEY CAN APPROVE 
IT. 
RUSSIA JUMP 
STARTED THE

CONCERN IS, WE 
HAD MANY DRUGS 
AND VACCINES 
THAT LOOK GREAT 
IN PHASE ONE AND 
TWO, RUSSIA IS 
IN PHASE 1, 
DON'T DO WELL IN 
PHASE 3. AND 
HAVE ISSUES IN 
PHASE 3. THE 
CONCERN IS IT 
MIGHT HAVE 
SAFETY ISSUES 
AND IF IT DOES, 
PEOPLE WILL 
START LOOKING AT 
IT AND START 
THINKING, MAYBE 
I SHOULDN'T GET 
THAT VACCINE 
WHEN THAT 
VACCINE HAS 
NOTHING TO DO 
WITH THE 
VACCINES WE HAVE 
HERE IN THE U.S. 
AND IT WILL BE 
AUTHORIZED IN 
THE U.S. 
>> ISSUES IN 
PHASE 3, KNOWING 
IT'S SOMETHING 
GOING INTO YOUR 
BODY SOUNDS LIKE 
A SCARY 
POTENTIAL 
REALITY. 
COULD THIS HAVE 
IMPACT ON THE 
TIMING OF THE 
VACCINE IN THE 
U.S.? 
>> I DON'T THINK 
IT WILL HAVE AN 
IMPACT ON 
TIMING. 
THE END OF THE 
YEAR, BEGINNING 
OF NEXT YEAR, WE 
WILL START 
LOOKING AT 
VACCINES THAT 
ARE EMERGENCY 
USED AUTHORIZED 
FOR CERTAIN 
POPULATIONS. 
IN THOSE, THESE 
ARE THE ONES 
HIGHEST RISK FOR 
CONTRACTING 
CORONAVIRUS OR 
GETTING A SIDE 
EFFECT OR 
COMPLICATIONS 
BECAUSE OF 
CORONAVIRUS. 
FOR THE GENERAL 
POPULATION, 
TOWARDS THE END 
OF THE FIRST 
QUARTER OR THE 
SUMMER OF NEXT 
YEAR, THAT IS 
PRETTY MUCH ON 
THE TRAJECTORY, 
THAT SHOULDN'T 
CHANGE BASED ON 
RUSSIA, WHAT 
RUSSIA IS 
TALKING BOY OUT. 
WE KNOW THERE IS 
A CERTAIN AMOUNT 
OF VACCINE 
HESITANCY. 
IF NEWS GETS OUT 
PEOPLE ARE 
GETTING INTO 
RUSSIA AND 
HAVI SIDE 
EFFECTS OR 
ISSUES, THAT 
COULD CAUSE MORE 
VACCINE 
HESITANCY HERE. 
THAT HAS THE 
VACCINE EXPERTS 
WORRIED. 
>> I WANT TO ASK 
YOU ABOUT A 
TOUGH NUMBER, A 
NEW PREDICTION 
FROM THE 
INSTITUTE FOR 
HEALTH METRICS 
AND EVALUATION 
SAYS WE COULD 
SEE 410,000 
CORONAVIRUS 
DEATHS IN THE 
U.S. BY JANUARY. 
THAT'S MORE THAN 
DOUBLE THE 
CURRENT DEATH 
TOLL. 
WE ARE IN 
SEPTEMBER, WHAT 
IS BEHIND THAT 
PREDICTION? 
>> LOOKING AT 
WHAT THEY THINK 
MIGHT BE 
HAPPENING COME 
WINTER TIME, 
ESPECIALLY WHEN 
THE VIRUS WILL 
MAKE A STRONGER 
COME BACK. 
PEOPLE WILL 
START LETTING 
THEIR GUARD 
DOWN, CASES ARE 
GETTING BETTER 
UNDER CONTROL, 
THEY WON'T BE 
DOING THE THINGS 
THEY HAVE BEEN 
DOING ALL ALONG 
TO PROTECT 
THEMSELVES AND 
OTHERS. 
YOU HAVE TO 
REMEMBER, THIS 
IS A PREDICTION. 
ONE OF THE 
THINGS THEY HAVE 
BEEN CRITICIZED 
ABOUT, IHME 
PREDICTION, THEY 
GO OUT LONG-
TERM, ALTHOUGH, 
NOW THEY ARE 
PREDICTING IF 
YOU LOOK AT THE 
PAST PREDICTION, 
THEY WERE 
PREDICTING 
200,000 DEATHS 
BY OCTOBER, WE 
ARE AT 180,000 
PLUS DEATHS NOW. 
THEY ARE ON 
TRACK WITH THAT 
ONE. 
THEY HAVE A GOOD 
TRACK RECORD. 
-- [NO AUDIO]
-- 
HUMAN BEHAVIOR, 
THE MOST LIKELY 
SCENARIO WOULD 
BE WHAT YOU ARE 
TALKING ABOUT. 
IF WE CAN GET 
HUMAN BEHAVIOR 
TO WHERE WE KNOW 
THE THINGS 
PEOPLE NEED TO 
DO AND THEY DO 
THOSE THINGS TO 
KEEP THEMSELVES 
AND EVERYBODY 
ELSE PROTECTED, 
THE NUMBER 
SHOULD BE LOWER. 
WE NEED TO 
DOUBLE DOWN ON 
THE EFFORT. 
>> DR. JOHN, WE 
HEARD FROM A TSA 
SPOKESPERSON, 
CHECK POINTS SAW 
THE HIGHEST 
NUMBER OF 
PASSENGERS SINCE 
MID APRIL, 
878,000 PEOPLE. 
WHAT ADVICE TO 
YOU HAVE FOR 
PEOPLE STARTING 
TO TRAVEL AGAIN? 
THIS LABOR DAY, 
WE MIGHT SEE 
MORE OF THAT. 
>> THE NUMBERS 
ARE GOING UP 
THIS IS A BIG 
HOLIDAY WEEKEND 
TYPICALLY, IT IS 
SHOWING THE SAME 
REFLECTION, EVEN 
IN THE MIDST OF 
THE PANDEMIC, 
PEOPLE WANT TO 
TRAVEL AND MEET 
OTHER PEOPLE AND 
FRIENDS AND GO 
TO OTHER PLACES, 
THEY HAVE TO 
REMEMBER TO DO 
THINGS WITH 
SAFETY IN MIND. 
ONE THING WE 
FOUND OUT, AIR 
TRAVEL, THE 
AIRPLANE SECTION 
ITSELF DOESN'T 
SEEM TO BE AS 
BIG OF AN ISSUE 
AS WE THOUGHT. 
BECAUSE OF THE 
VENTILATION AND 
AIRLINES ARE 
SHUTTING DOWN 
THE MIDDLE 
AISLES OR MAKING 
EVERYBODY WEAR 
MASKS AND PEOPLE 
ARE DOING WHAT 
THEY NEED TO DO 
TO PROTECT 
THEMSELVES AND 
OTHERS. 
IF YOU ARE ON 
THE AIRPLANE, 
WINDOW SEAT IS 
BETTER THAN THE 
AISLE SEAT 
BECAUSE PEOPLE 
ARE NOT PASSING 
BY AS MUCH. 
SANITIZE YOUR 
HANDS AS MUCH AS 
YOU CAN DURING 
THE FLIGHT. 
REALIZE THE 
BIGGEST RISK 
COMES IN BEFORE 
YOU GET ON THE 
AIRPLANE AND 
AFTER YOU GET 
OFF, WHEN YOU 
ARE AROUND OTHER 
PEOPLE. 
THE CONCERN IS 
NOT SO MUCH 
CATCHING 
CORONAVIRUS ON 
THE AIRPLANE BUT 
PEOPLE SPREADING 
IT. 
WHEN YOU GET TO 
YOUR LOCATION, 
REMEMBER THE 
FOUR W'S, WEAR A 
MASK, WATCH YOUR 
DISTANCE AND 
WASH YOUR HANDS, 
OPEN UP WINDOWS 
AND VENTILATE, 
DO THINGS 
OUTDOORS IF YOU 
CAN, THE MOST 
IMPORTANT THING 
IS JUST HAVE FUN 
THIS WEEKEND. 
>> THANKS FOR 
REAL TIPS ON 
TRAVEL. 
WINDOW SEATS 
BETTER THAN 
AISLE, HELPFUL 
STUFF TO 
REMEMBER, THANK 
YOU SO MUCH DR.

AND IMPROVES IT 
A LOT. 
AND AS WE IM LOOK 
AT TECHNOLOGY. 
NOT ONLY WILL IT 
IMPROVE SECURITY 
BUT PRTHE

>> DESPITE THE 
PANDEMIC, AN 
UNEXPECTED 
DEVELOPMENT. 
WHILE PASSENGER WH
VOLUME IS DOWN 
75%, THE RATIO 
OF GUN 
CONFISCATIONS 
HAVE TRIPLED. 
AND D 80% OF THEM 
ARE LOADED. 
MOST PASSENGERS 
SIMPLY CLAIM THEY
FORGOT THE GUN 
WAS IN THE BAG. 
BUT THE FIRST 
OFFENSE COMES 
WITH A FINE AND 
THE POSSIBILITY 
OF CRIMINAL 
CHARGES. 
>> ONE OTHER 
NOTE. 
DON'T FORGET 
YOUR GUN. 
HAVING A LOADED 
GUN IN A BAG 
WILL GET YOU LOININ 
A LOT OF 
TROUBLE. 
ONE OTHER NOTE. 
YOU MUST WEAR A 
MASK. 
IF YOU DON'T 
HAVE ONE, THE 
TSA WILL GIVE 
YOU ONE. 
BUT LISTEN ONE. 
THE BOTTOM LINE 
IS AIRPORTS 
REQUIRE THEM, 
TSA REQUIRE 
THEM, AIRLINES 
REQUIRE THEM, 
YOU CAN'T BOARD 
A PLANE WITHOUT 
ONE. 
AND IF YOU TRY 
TO WALK THROUGH 
THE AIRPORT 
WITHOUT A MASK, 
AIRPORT POLICE 
COULD VERY WELL 
ESCORT YOU OUT.

>> Reporter: 
HEY, SAVANNAH, 
WE BEGIN WITH 
DIRE PREDICTIONS 
WITH THE 
CORONAVIRUS. 
WHICH HAS 
ALREADY CLAIMED 
MORE THAN 
188,000 LIVE

IN THE MOST 
LIKELY SCENARIO, 
RESEARCHERS SAY 
BY YEAR'S END, 
THE DEATH TOLL 
FROM COVID COULD 
TOP 400,000, 
WORST-CASE 
SCENARIO. 
IT COULD SURPASS 
600,000. 
RESEARCHERS SAY 
IT'S A REMINDER, 
THE KEYS TO 
SLOWING THE 
VIRUS HAS 
SPREAD, WEARING 
A MASK, SOCIAL 
DISTANCING, AND 
LIMITS TO SOCIAL 
GATHERINGS. 
DURING THE 
PANDEMIC, WE 
SHOULD NOTE SOME 
OF THE PAST 
PREDICTIONS HAVE 
BEEN TOUTED BY 
THE WHITE HOUSE. 
AND OFFICIALS. 
HEALTH EXPERTS 
ARE WORRIED THE 
VIRUS COULD 
SPREAD OVER THE 
LABOR DAY 
WEEKEND. 
MANY COULD BE 
COOPED UP FOR 
WEEKS OR EVEN 
MONTHS.

PRESIDENTIAL 
CANDIDATE, AND 
PRESIDENTIAL 
CANDIDATE MIKE 
PENCE WILL HEAD

BOTH PRESIDENT 
TRUMP AND FORMER 
VICE PRESIDENT 
JOE BIDEN, 
ALREADY VISITED 
THE STATE THIS 
WEEK, FOLLOWING 
PROTESTS ON OVER 
JACOB BLAKE'S 
SHOOTING. 
WISCONSIN IS A 
KEY SWING STATE 
FOR BOTH 
CAMPAIGNS. 
PRESIDENT TRUMP 
WON BY LESS THAN 
A PERCENTAGE 
POINT THERE IN 
2016. 
AND SAVANNAH, 
THOSE ARE YOUR 
FRIDAY 
HEADLINES. 
HOPE YOU'RE 
GOING TO HAVE A 
GREAT LABOR DAY 
WEEKEND. 
>> THANK YOU, 
JOE. 
YOU, TOO. 
THANKS FOR 
SENDING US OFF 
INTO THIS LONG 
WEEKEND. 
I'M SURE WE'LL 
TALK. 
BUT HAVE A GOOD 
ONE. 
>> THERE'S JUST 
60 DAYS UNTIL 
ELECTION DAY. 
AND PRESIDENT 
TRUMP AND JOE 
BIDEN ARE BOTH 
CAMPAIGNING IN 
BATTLEGROUND 
STATES THIS 
WEEK, 
HIGHLIGHTING 
THEIR STARK 
POLICY 
DIFFERENCES. 
NBC NEWS 
CORRESPONDENT, 
CAROL LEE JOINS 
ME NOW. 
TRUMP AND BIDEN 
WERE BOTH IN 
WISCONSIN, 
OBVIOUSLY A KEY 
STATE IN THE 
UPCOMING 
ELECTION. 
THEY EACH 
VISITED KENOSHA 
SPECIFICALLY. 
WHERE POLICE 
SHOT JACOB BLAKE 
IN THE BACK 
ALMOST TWO WEEKS 
AGO. 
RESIDENTS THERE 
HAD A MIXED 
REACTION TO 
THEIR VISITS. 
HERE'S WHAT SOME 
OF THEM TOLD US. 
>> YEAH, VICE 
PRESIDENT BIDEN 
WILL BE HERE 
TOMORROW. 
>> HE'S AN 
IDIOT. 
>> YOU'RE NOT 
HAPPY HE'S 
COMING? 
>> NO. 
DOES HE EVEN 
KNOW WHERE HE 
IS? 
>> I THINK 
EMPATHY AND THE 
OLIVE BRANCH. 
I DID NOT FEEL 
THAT WAS THE 
REASON FOR 
PRESIDENT 
TRUMP'S VISIT 
YESTERDAY. 
BUT I HAVE GREAT 
HOPES [ 
INAUDIBLE ] 
>> NOW, THE TWO 
CANDIDATES ALSO 
SPENT THEIR TIME 
THERE QUITE 
DIFFERENTLY. 
TALK US THROUGH 
HOW THEY EACH 
APPROACHED THEIR 
VISITS. 
>> Reporter: 
YEAH, SAVANNAH. 
THEY REALLY DID. 
YOU HAVE 
PRESIDENT TRUMP 
VISIT KENOSHA, 
AND HE MET WITH 
LAW ENFORCEMENT. 
HE REALLY 
FOCUSED ON HIS 
LAW AND ORDER 
MESSAGE. 
HE 
HE BROUGHT WITH 
HIM THE ATTORNEY 
GENERAL. 
HE, YOU KNOW, 
HAD A MESSAGE 
THAT WAS REALLY 
FOCUSED ON THE 
LAW ENFORCEMENT 
SIDE OF THIS 
ISSUE. 
AND YOU KNOW, HE 
SAID THAT 
THERE'S NOT 
RACISM AND LAW 
ENFORCEMENT. 
HE WAS VERY 
DISMISSIVE OF 
THAT. 
AND MADE VERY 
CLEAR WHERE HE 
WAS CITING AMID 
ALL OF THIS 
UNREST. 
THEN YOU 
CONTRAST THAT 
WITH THE FORMER 
PRESIDENT BIDEN, 
WHO WHEN HE 
LANDED IN 
KENOSHA, HE 
IMMEDIATELY WENT 
TO MEET WITH THE 
BLAKE FAMILY. 
HE EVEN SPOKE 
WITH JACOB BLAKE 
THROUGH VIDEO. 
OBVIOUSLY FROM 
HAS HOSPITAL 
ROOM. 
AND YOU KNOW, HE 
DECIDED AND MADE 
THE CHOICE AND 
THIS IS WHAT 
WE'VE SEEN IN 
HIS CAMPAIGN TO 
FOCUS ON THE 
SIDE OF THE 
PROTESTORS, 
PEOPLE WHO ARE 
DEMANDING 
JUSTICE AND WHO 
ARE SAYING THAT 
THERE IS A 
SPECIFIC RACISM 
PROBLEM IN LAW 
ENFORCEMENT. 
AT THE SAME 
TIME, WE'VE ALSO 
TRIED TO SEE JOE 
BIDEN WALK THIS 
LINE OF REALLY 
DEFENDING 
HIMSELF AND 
AGAINST ATTACKS 
FROM PRESIDENT 
TRUMP. 
THAT HE'S ANTI-
LAW ENFORCEMENT. 
BUT TWO VERY 
DIFFERENT TRIPS 
AND TWO VERY 
DIFFERENT 
MESSAGES, WHILE 
AT THE SAME 
PLACE, AROUND 
THE SAME TIME. 
>> NOW, ONE OF 
THESE OTHER BIG 
THINGS WHERE WE 
SEE DIFFERENCES 
IS THE HANDLING 
OF CORONAVIRUS. 
WHAT BIDEN SAYS 
HE WOULD DO. 
WHAT HE IS 
SAYING PRESIDENT 
TRUMP WOULD DO. 
BIDEN AND HARRIS 
HAVE BEEN 
HITTING TRUMP 
HARD ON HIS 
HANDLING. 
WHAT ARE THEY 
SAYING AND HOW 
IS THE PRESIDENT 
REACTING TO WELL 
THAT? 
>> THE 
PRESIDENT'S 
POSITION IS TO 
ACT LIKE 
CORONAVIRUS 
ISN'T REALLY 
HAPPENING. 
TO THE EXTEBTS 
HE TALKS ABOUT 
T. HE TALKS 
ABOUT HOW A 
VACCINE IS 
COMING ALONG, 
THERE ARE 
THERAPEUTICS. 
HE CHOOSES TO 
FOCUS ON THEY'RE 
MOVING IN THE 
RIGHT DIRECTION. 
THE LOW DEATH 
RATE. 
HIS WHOLE THING 
CENTERS AROUND 
IF HE HADN'T 
HANDLED IT THE 
WAY HE DID, IT 
WOULD BE MUCH 
WORSE. 
AND THAT IS 
OBVIOUSLY 
DEBATABLE. 
AND JOE BIDEN IS 
TELLING A 
DIFFERENT STORY 
ABOUT 
CORONAVIRUS. 
SAYING THE 
PRESIDENT 
MISHANDLED THIS. 
AND HE WOULD 
HAVE DONE A 
BETTER JOB. 
AND THE TWO ARE 
STILL EVEN 
DIFFERING OVER 
WHETHER OR NOT 
SOMETHING AS 
SIMPLE AS 
WEARING A MASK 
IS NECESSARY. 
LET'S TAKE A 
LISTEN TO SOME 
OF WHAT THE 
PRESIDENT HAD TO 
SAY ABOUT THAT. 
>> DID YOU EVER 
SEE A MAN THAT 
LIKES A MASK AS 
MUCH AS HIM? 
[ LAUGHTER ] 
THEN HE MAKES 
THIS SPEECH. 
NOT ALWAYS, BUT 
HE HAS HAD 
HANGING DOWN. 
BECAUSE IT GIVES 
HIM A FEELING OF 
SECURITY. 
>> CONGRESSMAN. 
GIVE ME YOUR 
MASK. 
I WANT TO HAVE 
IT HANGING -- I 
DON'T WANT TO 
TOUCH YOUR MASK. 
>> THIS IS PART 
OF THE 
PRESIDENT'S 
MIXED MESSAGING 
WE HAVE SEEN 
SINCE THE START 
OF THIS 
PANDEMIC. 
ABOUT HOW PEOPLE 
NEED TO WEAR 
THEM. 
THEN HE MAKES 
FUN OF THE VICE 
PRESIDENT FOR 
WEARING THEM. 
EVEN PEOPLE WHO 
ARE SUPPORTIVE 
OF THE PRESIDENT 
REALLY WANT HIM 
TO STICK TO ONE 
MESSAGE, AND 
THAT IS WEAR A 
MASK. 
BECAUSE THE KEY, 
AS THEY WOULD 
SAY, TO GETTING 
THE ECONOMY BACK 
UP AND RUNNING, 
GETTING PEOPLE 
BACK TO SCHOOL 
AND WORK AND ALL 
OF THESE THINGS 
THAT THE COUNTRY 
IS REALLY 
YEARNING TO DO. 
AND YET YOU SEE 
THE PRESIDENT 
THERE, TAKING A 
SHOT AT JOE 
BIDEN FOR DOING 
SOMETHING THAT 
EVEN THE 
PRESIDENT'S OWN 
TEAM THINKS HE 
AND OTHERS NEED 
TO DO. 
>> NOW, YOU JUST 
MENTIONED THE 
ECONOMY. 
THAT'S ACTUALLY 
ONE AREA THAT 
THE PRESIDENT 
DOES GET HIGH 
MARKS ON IN A 
NEW POLL, 10 
POINTS AHEAD OF 
BIDEN. 
WHAT IS THE 
BIDEN CAMP 
STRATEGY HERE TO 
TRY TO WIN OVER 
VOTERS? 
>> WHAT WE'VE 
SEEN IS THAT 
THEY TRY TO MAKE 
THIS CASE THAT 
THE OBAMA-BIDEN 
ECONOMY WAS WHAT 
SET PRESIDENT 
TRUMP UP TO BE 
SUCCESSFUL WITH 
THE ECONOMY, 
PRIOR TO 
CORONAVIRUS. 
AND AGAIN, THE 
VICE PRESIDENT 
WILL BRING IT 
BACK TO THE 
PRESIDENT'S 
HANDLING OF THE 
PANDEMIC, SAYING 
THAT THE ECONOMY 
IS SO BAD AND 
MILLIONS OF 
PEOPLE ARE OUT 
OF WORK BECAUSE 
HE DIDN'T HANDLE 
THIS PROPERLY. 
SO WHY WOULD YOU 
TRUST HIM WITH 
HANDLING THE 
ECONOMY GOING 
FORWARD. 
THAT'S THE DEAL, 
FRANKLY AS THAT 
MENTIONS. 
IT'S A TOUGH 
SALE. 
THE PRESIDENT 
STILL GETS HIGH 
MARKS FOR HIS 
HANDLING OF THE 
ECONOMY. 
ODDLY BECAUSE 
PEOPLE FELT LIKE 
IT WAS REALLY 
GOOD BEFORE THE 
PANDEMIC HIT. 
AND THAT THE 
PRESIDENT HAS 
REALLY TRIED TO 
MAKE THIS CASE. 
AND THE CAMPAIGN 
HAS TRIED TO 
MAKE THIS CASE. 
THAT HE'S THE 
ONE WHO BUILT 
THIS ECONOMY UP. 
AND WHILE IT HAS 
TAKEN A HIT 
BECAUSE OF 
CORONAVIRUS, 
HE'S THE ONE WHO 
CAN BRING IT 
BACK. 
NOW, WHETHER OR 
NOT AS WE SEE 
THE NUMBERS AND 
THE ECONOMIC 
NUMBERS ROLL OUT 
IN THE NEXT 10 
WEEKS, AHEAD OF 
THE ELECTION, 
WHETHER OR NOT 
THAT MESSAGE 
WILL STILL 
PREVAIL AND HIS 
NUMBERS WILL 
HOLD, REMAINS TO 
BE SEEN. 
BUT SO FAR, HE 
STILL MAINTAINS, 
THAT'S THE ONE 
PLACE WHERE HIS 
APPROVAL HAS 
BEEN 
CONSISTENTLY 
BETTER THAN IT 
HAS IN OTHER 
PLACES. 
>> ABSOLUTELY. 
EVEN AS THE 
ECONOMY HAS 
TAKEN THESE HITS 
FOR THE 
PANDEMIC. 
CAROL, THANKS SO 
MUCH. 
>> THANK YOU. 
>>> DEMOCRATIC 
PRESIDENTIAL 
NOMINEE, JOE 
BIDEN, IS 
CALLING 
PRESIDENT 
TRUMP'S REPORTED 
COMMENTS ON THE 
MILITARY 
"DISGUSTING." 
A NEW ARTICLE IN 
THE ATLANTIC 
SAYS TRUMP 
CALLED MILITARY 
MEMBERS WHO DIED 
IN WAR, QUOTE, 
LOSERS AND 
SUCKERS. 
NOW, TRUMP AND 
HIS AIDES DENIED 
THAT HE SAID 
THOSE THINGS. 
HERE'S NBC NEWS 
POLITICAL 
REPORTER, ALI 
VITALI. 
>> Reporter: 
SAVANNAH. 
JOE BIDEN, 
PERHAPS THE MOST 
ANGRY THAT ANY 
OF US HAVE SEEN 
HIM OUT HERE ON 
THE CAMPAIGN 
TRAIL. 
AND HE ADMITTED 
TO THAT, AS HE 
WAS RESPONDING 
TO THESE REPORTS 
ABOUT DEROGATORY 
COMMENTS THAT 
PRESIDENT DONALD 
TRUMP ALLEGEDLY 
MADE ABOUT U.S. 
SERVICE MEMBERS. 
AND I WAS IN THE 
ROOM FOR THIS 
SPEECH, ONE OF 
ABOUT TWO DOZEN 
REPORTERS WHO 
WERE EACH GIVEN 
THEIR OWN TAPED 
SIX-FOOT 
BUBBLES, SO THAT 
WE WERE STILL 
DISTANCED AND 
SAFELY WEARING A 
MASK BUT STILL 
IN THE ROOM 
WHERE THE VICE 
PRESIDENT WAS 
SPEAKING. 
AND YOU COULD 
SEE THE MOOD 
SHIFT. 
THESE WERE 
REMARKS FOCUSED 
ON THE ECONOMY 
AND THE 
PANDEMIC. 
HE DID SPEAK 
ABOUT THESE 
ISSUES AM BUT 
CERTAINLY, THESE 
LATEST CYCLES OF 
COMMENTS THAT 
THE PRESIDENT 
MAY HAVE SAID 
RULED THE DAY 
HERE. 
AND HE SPOKE TO 
HIS ANGER THAT 
HE FELT NOT JUST 
AS A FORMER VICE 
PRESIDENT, BUT 
AS A PARENT, 
WHOSE SON SERVED 
IN THE WAR. 
AND HE SAID HE 
FELT THIS ANGER, 
AND WAS ALSO 
RESTRAINED IN 
HOW HE WAS 
TALKING ABOUT 
IT. 
HERE'S WHY. 
>> AND QUITE 
FRANKLY, IF WHAT 
IS WRITTEN IN 
THE ATLANTIC IS 
TRUE, IT WAS 
DISGUSTING. 
MY SON WAS 
ASSISTANT U.S. 
ATTORNEY. 
ASK HE 
VOLUNTEERED TO 
GO TO KOSOVO, 
WHILE THE WAR 
WAS GOING ON, AS 
A CIVILIAN. 
HE WASN'T A 
SUCKER. 
BUT MY SON 
VOLUNTEERED AND 
JOINED THE 
UNITED STATES 
MILITARY AS THE 
ATTORNEY 
GENERAL, AND 
WENT TO IRAQ FOR 
A YEAR, WON THE 
BRONZE STAR AND 
OTHER 
COMMENDATIONS, 
HE WASN'T A 
SUCKER. 
THE SERVICEMEN 
AND WOMEN HE 
SERVED WITH, 
PARTICULARLY 
THOSE WHO DID 
NOT COME HOME, 
WERE NOT LOSERS. 
>> AND SAVANNAH, 
AS MUCH AS THIS 
IS ANOTHER 
MESSAGING POINT 
FROM JOE BIDEN 
THAT IS 
DIFFERENT 
BECAUSE OF THE 
NEWS CYCLE, IT'S 
ALSO VERY MUCH 
THE SAME MESSAGE 
THAT WE'VE HEARD 
FROM HIM OVER 
THE COURSE OF 
THE LAST YEAR-
PLUS, ON THE 
CAMPAIGN TRAIL. 
WHETHER HE'S 
TALKING ABOUT 
THE BATTLE FOR 
THE SOUL OF A 
NATION OR THE 
QUALITY AND 
CHARACTER OF 
LEADERS IN THIS 
COUNTRY. 
THE MESSAGE HAS 
ALWAYS BEEN THE 
SAME. 
ONLY NOW, IT'S 
JUST NEEDING A 
NEW MOMENT. 
EXPECTING THE 
BIDEN CAMPAIGN 
TO FOCUS IN 
ADDITION TO THE 
PANDEMIC AND 
RECESSION. 
TO TALK ABOUT 
THESE LATEST 
COMMENTS AND THE 
WAY THAT 
PRESIDENT TRUMP 
TALKS ABOUT 
SERVICE MEMBERS. 
BECAUSE EVEN 
THOUGH THE 
FORMER VICE 
PRESIDENT 
EMPHASIZED THAT 
THESE LATEST 
COMMENTS WERE 
JUST REPORTS. 
HE IS SOMEONE 
WHO WAS CLOSE 
WITH THE LATE 
SENATOR JOHN 
McCAIN. 
HE WAS A 
PALLBEARER AT 
HIS FUNERAL. 
HE KNOWS THE 
COMMENTS 
PRESIDENT TRUMP 
MADE ABOUT 
McCAIN, BACK 
WHEN TRUMP WAS A 
CANDIDATE IN 
2015. 
BIDEN POINTING 
TO THOSE 
COMMENTS TODAY, 
SAYING YES, 
THESE LATEST 
ROUNDS OF 
REMARKS ARE JUST 
REPORTED BUT AT 
THE SAME TIME, 
THESE ARE THINGS 
WE'VE HEARD 
DONALD TRUMP SAY 
OUTWARDLY AND IN 
PUBLIC BEFORE. 
TRYING TO SAY, 
EVEN IF THESE 
MOMENTS FEEL 
LIKE THEY ARE 
NOT 100% 
CONFIRMED AND AS 
THE PRESIDENT 
HIMSELF DENIES 
THEM, IT DOES 
MATCH THE TONE 
AND THE CONTENT 
OF SOME OF THE 
COMMENTS TRUMP 
HAS MADE BEFORE. 
SAVANNAH? 
>> MAIL-IN 
BALLOTS WENT OUT 
TODAY IN THE 
BATTLEGROUND 
STATE OF NORTH 
CAROLINA. 
PRESIDENT TRUMP 
NARROWLY WON 
THAT IN 2016. 
BUT RECENT POLLS 
SHOWS BIDEN 
HOLDING A SLIGHT 
LEAD. 
STEVE KORNACKI 
BREAKS DOWN THE 
NUMBERS. 
>> Reporter: ALL 
RIGHT. 
A BUNCH OF NEW 
POLLS WE'VE 
GOTTEN THIS 
WEEK. 
WHAT YOU SEE, 
FIVE 
BATTLEGROUND 
POLLS. 
WITH TRUMP STATE 
IN 2016. 
IN ALL FIVE NOW, 
JOE BIDEN LEADS 
IN THE RECENT 
POLLING. 
BUT LET'S FOCUS 
ON THE ONE, 
WHERE THE 
ELECTION IS KIND 
OF UNDER WAY 
NOW. 
AND NORTH 
CAROLINA, 
BALLOTS STARTING 
TO GO OUT. 
FOLKS WILL BE 
VOTING IN 
SEPTEMBER, 
OCTOBER. 
RIGHT UP UNTIL 
ELECTION DAY. 
AND THE POLLING 
IN NORTH 
CAROLINA, RIGHT 
NOW, BIDEN LEAD 
OF FOUR POINTS. 
AND THE 
SIGNIFICANCE OF 
THAT. 
LET'S TAKE A 
LOOK HERE. 
REMIND YOU WHAT 
HAPPENED IN 
NORTH CAROLINA 
IN 2016. 
YOU CAN SEE 
HERE, IT WAS A 
TRUMP STATE. 
IT WAS A TRUMP 
STATE BY ABOUT 3 
POINTS. 
I CAN REMEMBER 
ELECTION NIGHT, 
2016. 
FLORIDA TURNED 
AROUND FOR 
TRUMP. 
SUDDENLY, YOU 
SAW HIM WINNING 
THERE. 
YOU LOOKED UP AT 
NORTH CAROLINA. 
DEMOCRATS TALKED 
ABOUT 
GETTINGCAROLINA 
IN 2016. 
BUT NO, YOU CAN 
SEE TRUMP WAS 
GOING TO WIN. 
IT ALL STARTED 
TO COME INTO 
FOCUS FOR HIM. 
THIS IS WHAT IT 
LOOKED LIKE IN 
2016. 
SO WHAT WERE 
DEMOCRATS 
THINKING WHEN 
THEY SEE A MAP 
LIKE THIS? 
WHAT THEY THINK 
IS, THEY THINK 
THE SUBURBS. 
WE ALWAYS TALK 
ABOUT THAT 
PARTICULAR GROUP 
THAT HAS CHANGED 
IN THE LAST FOUR 
YEARS. 
IT'S REALLY 
SHIFTED 
DRAMATICALLY 
TOWARDS 
DEMOCRATS. 
WHITE VOTERS 
WITH A COLLEGE 
DEGREE. 
A LOT OF TIMES 
IN METRO AREAS. 
SO FOR INSTANCE. 
I'LL GIVE YOU AN 
EXAMPLE HERE. 
CHARLOTTE 
MECKLENBURG 
COUNTY, LET'S GO 
OUTSIDE 
CHARLOTTE HERE 
TO UNION COUNTY, 
NORTH CAROLINA. 
THAT'S A TRUMP 
LANDSLIDE. 
RIGHT? 
64-33. 
ALMOST 2-1 FOR 
TRUMP. 
WHAT DO 
DEMOCRATS SEE 
WHEN THEY SEE A 
COUNTY LIKE 
THIS. 
WHEN THEY SEE A 
COUNTY THEY 
DON'T SEE BIDEN 
WIN. 
BUT INSTEAD OF 
LOSING A UNION 
COUNTY, WHICH 
GOT A LOVE OF 
PEOPLE, CATCH IN 
2016. 
INSTEAD OF 
LOSING BY 30 
POINTS. 
WHAT IF THEY 
ONLY LOSE IT BY 
10. 
WHAT IF THEY 
ONLY LOSE IT BY 
15. 
IT'S A SUBURBAN. 
OUTSIDE 
CHARLOTTE. 
IT'S THE KIND OF 
PLACE WHERE 
THERE HAS BEEN 
DEEP REPUBLICAN 
STRENGTH. 
WHERE TRUMP WAS 
ABLE TO HOLD 
THAT IN 2016. 
BUT WHERE 
DEMOCRATS THINK 
MAYBE THEY CAN 
MAKE SOME IN-
ROADS IN 2020. 
IF YOU CAN DO 
MORE OUT OF 
CHARLOTTE. 
SOME OF THESE 
SMALLER CITIES, 
SOME OF THE 
SMALLER METRO 
AREAS, THEY CAN 
ADD UP IN PLACES 
LIKE THAT. 
AND AGAIN, YOU 
LOOK AT THE 
TRUMP MARGIN 
HERE. 
ABOUT 175,000 
VOTES, GIVE OR 
TAKE IN NORTH 
CAROLINA IN 
2016. 
THE DEMOCRATS 
THINK THAT'S ONE 
OF THE THINGS. 
METRO AREAS, ONE 
OF THE PLACE 
WHERE IS THEY 
COULD 
POTENTIALLY 
SQUEEZE SOME 
MORE VOTES. 
THE POLLING PUTS 
BIDEN AHEAD 
RIGHT NOW. 
AND I DON'T 
THINK DEMOCRATS 
ARE GOING TO 
TAKE TOO MUCH 
COMFORT IN THAT. 
BECAUSE THERE 
WAS POLLING IN 
2016 THAT GAVE 
HIM A SHOT, TOO. 
BUT AGAIN, WE'VE 
SEEN THOSE 
CHANGES, 
SUBURBAN 
CHANGES, POWERED 
THE BLUE WAVE IN 
2018. 
THAT'S THE 
QUESTION HERE. 
COULD IT POWER 
DEMOCRATS IN A 
STATE LIKE NORTH 
CAROLINA WITH 
TRUMP ON THE 
BALLOT IN 2020? 
WE'LL SEE. 
>>> HOW ARE YOU 
VOTING IN THE 
2020 
PRESIDENTIAL 
ELECTION? 
IF YOU'RE 
CONFUSED ABOUT 
WHETHER YOU 
SHOULD HEAD TO 
THE POLLS OR THE 
POST OFFICE, NBC 
NEWS HAS YOUR 
BACK. 
GO TO 
NBCNEWS.COM/PLANYOU 
WE HAVE THE 
LATEST ON VOTING 
RULES, DEADLINES 
AND RESTRICTIONS 
BY STATE. 
>>> THE SUSPECT 
WANTED IN 
CONNECTION WITH 
THE DEADLY 
SHOOTING OF A 
TRUMP SUPPORTER 
IN PORTLAND, 
OREGON HAS BEEN 
SHOT AND KILLED 
BY POLICE. 
AUTHORITIES WERE 
TRYING TO ARREST 
48-YEAR-OLD 
MICHAEL FOREST 
RINOL OUTSIDE OF 
OLYMPIA, 
WASHINGTON LAST 
NIGHT. 
IN AN INTERVIEW 
WITH VICE NEWS, 
REYNOLDS WOULD 
HE SHOT AND 
KILLED THAT 
TRUMP SUPPORTER 
IN SELF-DEFENSE. 
HERE'S NBC NEWS 
CORRESPONDENT, 
ERIN McLAUGHLIN. 
>> IT WAS 
YESTERDAY. 
THAT AUTHORITIES 
MOVED IN TO 
ARREST MICHAEL 
RINEL. 
ACCORDING TO THE 
NATIONAL 
MARSHALS, THEY 
PLANNED ON 
CHARGING HIM 
WITH THE MURDER 
OF AARON J. 
DANIELSON FROM 
THE PREVIOUS 
SATURDAY. 
THEY SAID WHEN 
THEY APPROACHED 
HIM, HE PULLED A 
FIREARM. 
THEY FIRED UPON 
HIM AND SHOT 
RINELS DEAD. 
IT WAS 
PRONOUNCED DEAD 
AT THE SCENE, 
JUST HOURS 
EARLIER. 
VICE NEWS 
RELEASED A CLIP 
OF ITS INTERVIEW 
WITH RINEL. 
IN WHICH RINEL 
EXPLAINED WHAT 
HAPPENED ON THE 
SATURDAY. 
HE SAID THAT HE 
WAS ACTING IN 
SELF-DEFENSE. 
THAT HE BELIEVED 
DANIELSON WAS 
GOING TO STAB 
HIM AND A 
FRIEND. 
VICE NEWS WAS 
UNABLE TO 
CORROBORATE THAT 
ACCOUNT VIDEO 
FROM THE 
SHOOTING SHOWS 
AN INDIVIDUAL 
APPROACHING 
DANIELSON ON 
EITHER A 
SKATEBOARD OR A 
SCOOTER. 
BEFORE THE 
SHOOTING 
HAPPENED. 
IT'S UNCLEAR 
EXACTLY THE 
SEQUENCE OF 
EVENTS THERE. 
BUT PART OF THIS 
ONGOING 
INVESTIGATION 
THAT HAS NOW LED 
TO THE DEATH OF 
RINEL AS WELL. 
IT ALL HAPPENS 
ON A SATURDAY. 
IT BEGAN WITH A 
PRO-TRUMP RALLY. 
DANIELSON HAD 
ATTENDED AS PART 
OF THIS FAR-
RIGHT GROUP 
CALLED PATRIOT 
PRAYER, PRO-
TRUMP PEOPLE 
WERE OUT ON 
BOARD TRUCKS, 
FIRING PAINT 
BALLS AS WELL AS 
MACE AT PEOPLE 
PASSING BY AT 
COUNTERDEMONSTRATOR 
PEOPLE CLASHING 
WITH COUNTER 
DEMONSTRATORS. 
THAT CONVOY, 
THOUGH, 
ACCORDING TO 
MEMBERS OF THE 
FAR-RIGHT GROUP, 
HAD LEFT THE 
CITY. 
AND DANIELSON 
HAD RETURNED TO 
PORTLAND BECAUSE 
HE LIVED THERE. 
AND NOW 
CULMINATING IN 
THE DEATH OF NOT 
ONE BUT TWO 
INDIVIDUALS. 
SAVANNAH? 
>> THE BROTHER 
OF A BLACKMAN 
WHO DIED AFTER 
AN INCIDENT WITH 
POLICE IN 
ROCHESTER, NEW 
YORK. 
SAYS HE WANTED 
THE BODY CAMERA 
VIDEO RELEASED. 
A WARNING, THIS 
VIDEO IS 
DISTURBING. 
IT HAPPENED BACK 
IN MARCH. 
AND YOU CAN SEE 
POLICE 
RESTRAINING 
DANIEL PRUDE IN 
THE STREET. 
OFFICERS USED A 
SPIT HOOD OVER 
PREURD'S HEAD. 
BECAUSE POLICE 
SAY PRUDE TOLD 
THEM HE HAD 
COVID-19. 
HE LOST 
CONSCIOUSNESS 
AND WAS LATER 
HOSPITALIZED AND 
TAKEN OFF LIFE 
SUPPORT. 
THIS IS ONLY A 
PORTION OF THE 
VIDEO, AND WE DO 
NOT KNOW WHAT 
HAPPENED IN THE 
MOMENTS BEFORE. 
PRUDE'S BROTHER 
TALKED ABOUT THE 
VIDEO ON VIDEO 
EARLIER THIS 
AFTERNOON. 
>> OH, MAN. 
IT'S LIKE 
ANYBODY'S HONEST 
OPINION WHEN 
THEY SEE THAT 
TAPE. 
THAT'S MURDER. 
FULL-FLEDGED, 
COLD-BLOODED 
MURDER. 
AND THERE IS 
NOTHING ELSE TO 
BE SAID ABOUT 
THAT. 
AND WHEN YOU 
HAVE A 
DEFENSELESS 
HUMAN BEING, AND 
YOU AIN'T 
SHOWING NO 
DIGNITY TOWARD 
THAT MAN. 
>> THAT WAS 
STRAIGHT, CRUDE 
AND UNUSUAL 
PUNISHMENT FOR 
NO REASON. 
>> THE OFFICERS 
INVOLVED IN THE 
INCIDENT HAVE 
BEEN SUSPENDED 
WITH PAY. 
NBC NEWS 
CORRESPONDENT, 
KATHY PARK 
REPORTS. 
>> Reporter: 
SAVANNAH, THERE 
ARE SEVERAL 
AGENCIES THAT 
ARE LOOKING INTO 
THE INCIDENT 
THAT TRANSPIRED 
ON MARCH 23rd. 
BUT THE ATTORNEY 
GENERAL'S OFFICE 
IS TAKING THE 
LEAD ON THE 
CASE. 
THEY ISSUED A 
STATEMENT 
YESTERDAY, 
SAYING THAT 
THEY'RE WORKING 
DILIGENTLY TO 
THOROUGHLY 
INVESTIGATE 
EXACTLY WHAT 
HAPPENED. 
MEANWHILE, SEVEN 
OFFICERS WERE 
SUSPENDED WITH 
PAY. 
THIS COMING DOWN 
FROM THE MAYOR 
YESTERDAY. 
MEANWHILE, THERE 
ARE GROWING 
CALLS FOR THE 
MAYOR AND THE 
POLICE CHIEF TO 
STEP DOWN. 
BECAUSE CRITICS 
ARGUE THAT IT 
TOOK WAY TOO 
LONG FOR THIS 
FOOTAGE TO COME 
TO LIGHT. 
AND FOR ANY 
ACTION TO TAKE 
PLACE. 
NOW, WE ALSO 
HEARD FROM THE 
POLICE UNION WHO 
TOOK A CLOSER 
LOOK AT THE 
FOOTAGE AND 
DEFENDED THE 
ACTIONS OF ITS 
MEMBERS. 
AND ONCE AGAIN, 
IT REALLY COMES 
DOWN TO THE 
ATTORNEY 
GENERAL'S 
OFFICE, TO TELL 
US WHAT HAPPENS 
NEXT WITH THOSE 
OFFICERS. 
NOW, WE ALSO HAD 
A CHANCE TO TALK 
TO THE BROTHER 
OF DANIEL PRUDE. 
AND WE'RE TOLD 
THAT THEY WERE 
VERY CLOSE. 
THEY GREW UP IN 
A CHICAGO AREA. 
AND DANIEL WOULD 
VISIT THE 
ROCHESTER AREA 
PRETTY 
FREQUENTLY TO 
VISIT HIS 
BROTHER JOE. 
AND WHEN HE SAW 
THE FOOTAGE FOR 
THE FIRST TIME, 
OF HIS BROTHER 
BEING DETAINED 
AND BEING PINNED 
TO THE GROUND. 
AND WITH THE 
SPIT HOOD ON HIS 
HEAD, HE WAS 
JUST OUTRAGED 
AND DEVASTATED. 
HE BELIEVES THE 
OFFICERS WHO 
WERE INVOLVED 
SHOULD BE 
PROSECUTED. 
MEANWHILE, AS 
FAR AS PROTESTS 
GO, OVERNIGHT, 
IT'S GOT A 
LITTLE TENSE 
RIGHT HERE IN 
FRONT OF THIS 
BUILDING. 
WHEN PROTESTORS 
CLASHED WITH 
POLICE. 
WE SAW THE 
DEPLOYMENT OF 
PEPPER BALLS. 
AND WE SAW 
PROTESTORS 
ACTUALLY PUSHING 
SOME OF THE 
BARRICADES THAT 
WERE SURROUNDING 
THIS AREA. 
DEMONSTRATORS 
SAY THAT THERE 
ARE PLANNED 
PROTESTS LATER 
ON THIS EVENING 
AS WELL. 
SO CERTAINLY 
ATTENTION STILL 
VERY HIGH IN 
ROCHESTER. 
SAVANNAH? 
>> THOUSANDS OF 
PROTESTORS ARE 
EXPECTED TO 
RALLY AT 
CHURCHILL DOWNS 
RACETRACK IN 
KENTUCKY THIS 
WEEKEND. 
THEY'RE CALLING 
FOR THE STATE'S 
ATTORNEY GENERAL 
TO CHARGE THE 
OFFICERS 
INVOLVED IN THE 
DEADLY SHOOTING 
OF BREONNA 
TAYLOR. 
THE NATIONAL 
GUARD IS ON 
STANDBY FOR THIS 
WEEKEND'S 
DEMONSTRATIONS. 
HERE'S NBC NEWS 
CORRESPONDENT, 
GABE GUTIERREZ. 
>> SAVANNAH, A 
FULL DAY BEFORE 
THE KENTUCKY 
DERBY. 
THERE IS ALREADY 
A HUGE SECURITY 
PRESENCE HERE. 
THESE ARE 
ARMORED VEHICLES 
FROM THE 
KENTUCKY 
NATIONAL GUARD. 
KENTUCKY STATE 
POLICE, AND 
LOCAL 
AUTHORITIES ARE 
ALSO TRYING TO 
PREVENT THERE 
BEING ANY MAJOR 
CLASHES BETWEEN 
THE THOUSANDS OF 
PROTESTORS THAT 
ARE EXPECTED 
HERE. 
AS WELL AS COUNT 
PROTESTORS. 
NOW, WE HAVEN'T 
GOTTEN A 
STATEMENT FROM 
CHURCHILL DOWNS. 
AND THOSE 
RUNNING THE 
KENTUCKY DERBY 
SAY, QUOTE, WE 
RECOGNIZE THAT 
THE PEOPLE IN 
OUR COMMUNITY 
AND ACROSS THE 
NATION ARE 
HURTING RIGHT 
NOW. 
THE ATMOSPHERE 
OF THE KENTUCKY 
DERBY WILL BE 
DIFFERENT THIS 
YEAR. 
AS WE RESPOND TO 
THE CALLS FOR 
CHANGE. 
THIS WILL BE A 
DERBY UNLIKE ANY 
OTHER. 
AS IT SHOULD BE. 
AGAIN, THAT 
STATEMENT FROM 
CHURCHILL DOWNS. 
BUT THESE FOLKS 
WITH THE 
ORGANIZERS OF 
THESE PROTESTS. 
AND THEY ARE 
FURIOUS. 
BECAUSE THEY 
BELIEVE THIS 
EVENT SHOULD BE 
HAPPENING. 
THIS IS A 
MASSIVE EVENT. 
BUT VIEWED BY 
THESE PROTESTORS 
AS A SLAP IN THE 
FACE TO THE 
FAMILIES OF 
BREONNA TAYLOR. 
YOU CAN SEE 
BEHIND ME. 
THERE'S 
CHURCHILL DOWNS 
RIGHT THERE. 
AND THIS IS 
SOMETHING THAT 
THE KENTUCKY 
DERBY HAPPENS 
EVERY YEAR. 
WAS PUSHED BACK 
SEVERAL MONTHS 
THIS YEAR 
BECAUSE OF THE 
COVID-19 
PANDEMIC. 
BUT HERE IN 
LOUISVILLE, 
THERE HAVE BEEN 
PROTESTS FOR 
ABOUT 100 DAYS, 
FOLLOWING THE 
SHOOTING DEATH 
OF BREONNA 
TAYLOR. 
SHE WAS KILLED, 
WHEN POLICE 
RAIDED HER 
APARTMENT 
SEVERAL MONTHS 
AGO. 
HER FAMILY HAS 
BEEN DEMANDED 
JUSTICE. 
THEY ARE 
DEMANDING 
CHARGES FOR THE 
OFFICERS 
INVOLVED. 
SO FAR, ONLY ONE 
OFFICER HAS BEEN 
FIRED. 
NONE OF THEM 
HAVE BEEN 
CRIMINALLY 
CHARGED. 
AND AGAIN, 
PROTESTORS, BY 
THE THOUSANDS, 
ARE EXPECTED 
HERE AT 
CHURCHILL DOWNS 
TOMORROW. 
THERE'S ALREADY 
A HEAVY SECURITY 
PRESENCE, TRYING 
TO KEEP THE 
PEACE. 
SAVANNAH? 
>>> IN 2016, 
POLICE IN 
MILWAUKEE, 
WISCONSIN, SHOT 
AND KILLED 23-
YEAR-OLD CYBIL 
SMITH. 
A WEEKEND OF 
VIOLENCE AND 
UNREST FOLLOWED 
IN THE CITY'S 
SHERMAN PARK 
NEIGHBORHOOD. 
POLICE THERE 
DESCRIBING IT AS 
A RIOT. 
BUT WHAT CAME 
NEXT COULD BE A 
MODEL FOR HOW 
COMMUNITIES WITH 
REBUILD. 
OUR COLLEAGUES 
AT NBC BLK FILED 
THIS REPORT. 
>> THE RECENT 
UNREST IN 
KENOSHA, 
WISCONSIN OVER 
THE SHOOTING OF 
JACOB BLAKE BY 
POLICE, SPARKS 
MEMORIES OF WHAT 
HAPPENED JUST 40 
MILES AWAY. 
IN 2016, THE 
FATAL SHOOTING 
OF SIBILL SMITH 
LED TO RIOTING. 
A PREDOMINANTLY 
BLACK COMMUNITY 
IN THE 
NORTHWEST. 
PROPERTY WAS 
DESTROYED, 
INCLUDING A BMO 
HARRIS BANK. 
BUT THIS LED TO 
THE RECREATION 
OF A HUB FOR 
LOCAL BUSINESSES 
THAT IS NOW THE 
HEARTBEAT OF THE 
COMMUNITIES. 
>> THERE'S 
DYNAMIC TENSION 
HERE. 
WHEN I THINK 
ABOUT MILWAUKEE, 
BETWEEN HOPE AND 
POSSIBILITY. 
STRUGGLE AND THE 
NEED FOR CHANGE. 
>> THIS SPACE IS 
HOME TO MORE 
THAN TWO DOZEN 
BUSINESSES OF 
COLOR, FROM 
APPAREL, TO 
BEAUTY, TO 
WELLNESS AND 
FOOD. 
>> WE WANTED TO 
MAKE SURE THAT 
THERE IS 
REFLECTION OF 
WEALTH OR 
COMMUNITY 
OFFERING. 
>> WE HAD TO 
THINK OF A KIND 
OF CLEVER MIX 
THAT WOULD 
ATTRACT FOLKS. 
KIND OF WHAT 
CAN'T YOU GET ON 
AMAZON? 
WE WANTED TO BE 
YOUR SURGE IN 
OPPORTUNITY. 
AND OPPOSITION 
IN THE COMMUNITY 
WHICH THEY 
DESERVE. 
>> THIS IS THE 
COMMUNITY I GREW 
UP IN. 
I HAD THE DESIRE 
TO HAVE PEOPLE 
THAT LOOK LIKE 
ME AND CAME FROM 
THE SAME AREA AS 
HE BE ABLE TO 
PROSPER. 
MY PART IS 
GIVING HEALTHIER 
FOOD OPTIONS TO 
PEOPLE THAT HAVE 
NEVER HAD ACCESS 
TO IT. 
>> 
UNFORTUNATELY, 
IN OUR 
COMMUNITY, 
THERE'S NOT A 
LOT OF HEALTHY 
PLACES TO EAT. 
NOT A LOT OF 
HEALTHY PLACES 
TO GO. 
AND NOT A LOT OF 
TALK OF HEALTH 
AND WELLNESS. 
>> LAKEISHA RUNS 
A MENTAL HEALTH 
AND SUBSTANCE 
ABUSE WITHIN THE 
COMPLEX. 
>> IT'S 
IMPORTANT THAT 
WE, AS A 
COMMUNITY, START 
TO HAVE OPEN AND 
HONEST DIALOGUE, 
AROUND HOW 
DIFFERENT ISSUES 
IN OUR LIFE ARE 
AFFECTING OUR 
MENTAL HEALTH. 
>> LIKE 
BUSINESSES 
ACROSS THE 
COUNTRY, COVID-
19 BROUGHT ON 
SOME UNFORESEEN 
CHALLENGES FOR 
THE PHOENIX. 
>> IT WAS 
DEVASTATING. 
AT FIRST, IT WAS 
ABSOLUTELY 
DEVASTATING. 
OUR NUMBERS WERE 
DOWN. 
BY 60 TO 70%. 
SO WE NEEDED A 
MOMENT TO 
BREATHE TO BE 
ABLE TO 
STRATEGIZE. 
SO WE PROVIDED 
SO FAR, THREE 
MONTHS OF RENT 
RELIEF TO ALLOW 
OUR BUSINESSES 
TO FOCUS ON NOT 
PAYING RENT. 
BUT REALLY 
STAYING SOLVENT 
ENT, AMIDST ALL 
OF THE UPHEAVAL 
WITH COVID. 
>> COMMUNITIES 
HARDEST HIT BY 
THE PANDEMIC, 
POLICE 
BRUTALITY, 
OPPORTUNITIES IN 
THE WORKPLACE, 
JOANNE THINKS 
THE SHERMAN 
PHOENIX CAN BE A 
MODEL ARE IF 
OTHER CITIES. 
>> I THINK IT'S 
CRITICALLY 
IMPORTANT. 
NOT JUST TO 
MILWAUKEE BUT 
OTHER AREAS. 
DEVELOPING 
CORRIDORS IN OUR 
CENTRAL CITIES. 
>>> PRESIDENT 
TRUMP IS 
SPEAKING AT THE 
WHITE HOUSE 
RIGHT NOW. 
LET'S LISTEN IN. 
>>> BUSINESS 
CONFIDENCE IS 
HIGHER TODAY IN 
AMERICA THAN IN 
ANY OTHER G7 OR 
E.U. 
COUNTRY. 
THAT COVERS A 
LOT OF 
TERRITORY. 
SO WE HAVE THE 
BUSINESS 
CONFIDENCE IS 
HIGHER. 
THAN ANY OF 
THOSE COUNTRIES. 
IN JULY, RETAIL 
SALES, NOT ONLY 
RECOVERED BUT 
REACHED A NEW 
ALL-TIME HIGH. 
SO THINK OF 
THAT. 
RETAIL SALES. 
THAT'S A VERY 
BASIC STATISTIC. 
AND IT'S A BIG 
STATISTIC. 
IT NOT ONLY 
RECOVERED, BUT 
REACHED THE 
HIGHEST LEVEL 
EVER. 
AUTO SALES HAVE 
SURGED TO AN 
INCREDIBLE 74% 
SINCE THEIR 
APRIL LOW. 
AND ARE NEARLY 
BACK TO THEIR 
PREVIRUS LEVELS. 
AND THAT'S BEEN 
A TREMENDOUS 
THING. 
USED CARS AND 
NEW CARS HAVE 
BOTH BEEN DOING 
INCREDIBLY WELL. 
MORTGAGE 
APPLICATIONS 
WERE 27% HIGHER 
IN AUGUST THAN 
DURING THE SAME 
PERIOD LAST 
YEAR. 
HOME BUILDER 
SENTIMENT 
REACHED THE 
HIGHEST LEVEL IN 
OCTOBER, 
INDICATING THAT 
MORE HIGH-PAYING 
CONSTRUCTION IS 
ON THE WAY. 
HOME BUILDING 
HAS BEEN GREAT. 
AND LENDING HAS 
BEEN REALLY 
INCREDIBLE. 
U.S. 
MANUFACTURING 
ACTIVITY REACHED 
A 19-MONTH HIGH 
IN AUGUST, WHILE 
MY 
ADMINISTRATION 
HAS FOUGHT EVERY 
DAY TO RESTORE 
PROSPERITY, 
HOWEVER. 
NANCY PELOSI AND 
THE DEMOCRATS IN 
CONGRESS ARE 
HOLDING 
ADDITIONAL CHINA 
VIRUS RELIEF. 
HOSTAGE TO 
REASONS THAT 
NOBODY 
UNDERSTANDS. 
I GUESS I DO. 
I THINK I 
UNDERSTAND. 
IT'S CALLED 
POLITICS. 
AND SPEAKING OF 
POLITICS. 
I THINK NORTH 
CAROLINA, I 
THINK THAT 
MICHIGAN AND 
PENNSYLVANIA AND 
OTHER STATES, 
THEY SHOULD 
OPEN. 
THE DEMOCRAT 
GOVERNORS SHOULD 
OPEN THE STATE. 
THEY'LL OPEN ON 
NOVEMBER 4th. 
BUT THEY SHOULD 
OPEN THEM NOW. 
IT'S VERY UNFAIR 
TO THE PEOPLE TO 
HAVE THOSE 
SHUTDOWNS AT THE 
LEVEL THEY'RE 
CONTINUING. 
DEMOCRATS ARE 
INSISTING ON A 
MASSIVE TAXPAYER 
BAILOUT OF BADLY 
RUN BLUE STATES. 
STIMULUS CHECKS 
FOR ILLEGAL 
ALIENS AND THE 
MASKED RELIEF OF 
INMATES FROM 
JAIL. 
THEY WANT TO 
RELEASE A LOT OF 
INMATES. 
SOME OF THEM FOR 
VERY SERIOUS 
REASONS, THEY 
WANT TO RELEASE 
THEM FROM JAIL. 
THEY WANT THAT 
AS PART OF THE 
STIMULUS. 
CAN YOU BELIEVE 
THAT? 
IT'S TIME FOR 
DEMOCRATS IN 
CONGRESS TO 
START WORKING 
ACROSS THE AISLE 
AND PUT THE 
AMERICAN PEOPLE 
FIRST. 
NOW, WE HAVE 
$300 BILLION IN 
AN COULD THAT WE 
DIDN'T USE. 
$300 BILLION. 
AND WE ARE 
WILLING TO USE 
THAT. 
I WOULD BE 
WILLING TO 
RELEASE IT, 
SUBJECT TO 
CONGRESS, AND 
USE THAT AS 
STIMULUS MONEY. 
AND IT WOULD GO 
RIGHT TO THE 
AMERICAN PEOPLE. 
SO WE HAVE $300 
BILLION, SITTING 
IN AN ACCOUNT 
THAT WE DIDN'T 
NEED BECAUSE 
THINGS ARE GOING 
SO WELL WITH THE 
ECONOMY. 
BUT IT WOULD BE 
A VERY 
APPROPRIATE 
THING TO RELEASE 
THAT TO THE 
AMERICAN PEOPLE. 
AND I AM WILLING 
TO DO IT. 
ALL WE NEED IS A 
SIGNOFF. 
BUT THAT DOESN'T 
MEAN THAT WE'RE 
GOING TO RELEASE 
PRISONERS, SOME 
PRISONERS. 
VERY VICIOUS 
PEOPLE, 
ACTUALLY. 
WE'RE NOT GOING 
TO PUT THEM ON 
THE STREETS, 
LIKE THE 
DEMOCRATS WANT 
US TO. 
AND WE'RE NOT 
GOING TO GIVE 
STIMULUS CHECKS 
TO ILLEGAL 
ALIENS THAT CAME 
IN ILLEGALLY. 
AND NOW WE GIVE 
THEM A CHECK. 
WE WANT TO GIVE 
THE CHECKS TO 
THE AMERICAN 
PEOPLE. 
SO REMEMBER, WE 
HAVE $300 
MILLION. 
IT'S THERE. 
WE DON'T NEED 
THE MONEY. 
WE DON'T NEED 
ANYTHING. 
JUST LET THAT 
MONEY GET 
RELEASED TO THE 
AMERICAN PEOPLE. 
AS OUR ECONOMY 
REBOUNDS, 
THERE'S ONLY ONE 
THING THAT COULD 
STOP THE 
EXTRAORDINARY 
ECONOMIC 
COMEBACK AND 
WIPE OUT THE 
FUTURE OF 
AMERICAN 
WORKERS. 
AND THAT'S WHAT 
THE DEMOCRATS 
WANT TO DO WITH 
A $4 TRILLION 
TAX HIKE. 
IMPLEMENTING 
THINGS THAT WILL 
BE REALLY BAD 
FOR OUR COUNTRY. 
AND THIS WILL 
JUST ABSOLUTELY 
CRIPPLE WHAT 
WE'RE DOING ON 
REGULATIONS AND 
SO MANY OTHER 
ELEMENTS OF 
SUCCESS. 
WE HAD THE 
GREATEST ECONOMY 
IN HISTORY, 
PRIOR TO THE 
CHINA VIRUS 
COMING IN. 
NOW THEY WANT TO 
STOP 
REGULATIONS. 
THEY WANT TO 
BRING UP REG 
EULOGIES TO A 
LEVEL, STOP THE 
THINGS THAT 
WE'RE DOING, 
WHICH ARE AT A 
MUCH SMALLER 
LEVEL, AND BRING 
UP REGULATIONS 
AT A LEVEL THAT 
NOBODY HAS EVER 
SEEN BEFORE. 
THEY WANT TO DO 
THINGS THAT WILL 
MAKE IT 
IMPOSSIBLE FOR 
ANY ECONOMY TO 
GROW. 
THEY WANT TO BAN 
TRACKING. 
AND AS YOU SAW. 
HE SEES THIS 
POLL GOING DOWN. 
AND NOW HE SAYS, 
I WAS ONLY 
TALKING ABOUT 
MAYBE NOT 
BANNING 
TRACKING. 
BUT HE WANTS TO 
BAN FRACKING. 
AND THE PEOPLE 
THAT CONTROL HIM 
WANT TO 
FRACKING. 
AND SO MANY 
STATES YOU CAN'T 
BAN FRACKING. 
THAT WOULD BE A 
DISASTER. 
OHIO. 
AND ABOLISH 
AMERICAN ENERGY. 
THAT'S WHAT'S 
GOING TO HAPPEN. 
ADOPT DISASTROUS 
TRADE DEALS AND 
INFLICT A 
DANGEROUS 
SHUTDOWN. 
WE WOULD BE 
WILLING TO SHUT 
IT DOWN. 
AND YOU DON'T 
SHUT DOWN WHEN 
WE'RE SETTING 
RECORDS. 
ASK BY THE WAY, 
WE'RE ROUNDING 
THE CORNER. 
WE'RE ROUNDING 
THE CORNER ON 
THE VIRUS. 
JOE BIDEN'S 
SHUTDOWN WOULD 
COLLAPSE OUR 
ECONOMY, WOULD 
CAUSE COUNTLESS 
DEATHS FROM 
SUICIDE, DRUG, 
ALCOHOL ABUSE, 
HEART DISEASE 
AND MORE YOU 
KNOW, SHUTDOWNS 
CAUSE A LOT OF 
PROBLEMS, A LOT 
MORE SERIOUS 
PROBLEMS. 
MORE SO THAN THE 
VIRUS ITSELF. 
BIDEN'S PLAN IS 
NOT A SOLUTION. 
IT'S A VIRTUAL 
SURRENDER. 
AND OUR COUNTRY 
IS TWOING SO 
WELL. 
I THINK WE'RE 
GOING TO HAVE A 
GREAT THIRD 
QUARTER. 
YOU'LL SEE FOR 
YOURSELF. 
THE NUMBERS WILL 
BE ANNOUNCED 
SOMETIME PRIOR 
TO THE ELECTION 
ON NOVEMBER 3rd. 
AND AS YOU KNOW, 
JOE SPENT HIS 
ENTIRE CAREER, 
SENDING AMERICAN 
JOBS TO CHINA 
AND OTHER 
FARAWAY 
COUNTRIES, FOR 
47 YEARS, PEOPLE 
WERE PILLAGING 
OUR COUNTRY, 
TAKING OUR JOBS, 
TAKING OUR 
COMPANIES. 
AND THAT'S NEVER 
GOING TO CHANGE 
WITH THAT 
MINDSET AND WITH 
THAT GROUP. 
AND IF BIDEN IS 
NOT GOING TO BE 
STANDING YOU UP 
TO THESE FOREIGN 
COUNTRIES. 
NOT GOING TO BE 
STANDING UP, 
MAYBE MORE 
IMPORTANT LEEL, 
TO THE PEOPLE 
THAT RUN THE 
DEMOCRATIC 
PARTY. 
HE DOESN'T HAVE 
THE STRENGTH TO 
DO THAT. 
HE REFUSES TO 
CONDEMN EVEN 
ANTIFA. 
A BAD GROUP. 
FAR LEFT 
DOMESTIC 
TERRORIST 
ORGANIZATION. 
HE DOESN'T WANT 
TO SAY ANYTHING 
BAD ABOUT IT. 
HIS PLAN TO 
APPEASE THE 
DOMESTIC 
TERRORIST IS 
EXACT OPPOSITE 
OF WHAT I'M 
DOING. 
I THINK YOU SAW 
THAT LAST NIGHT. 
YESTERDAY THE 
U.S. MARSHALS. 
WE SENT THEM IN. 
U.S. MARSHALS. 
WE WERE WAITING 
FOR LOCAL 
GOVERNMENT TO 
TAKE CARE OF IT. 
BUT THEY DIDN'T 
DO THAT. 
SO THE U.S. 
MARSHALS WENT 
INTO LAW EB 
ENFORCEMENT. 
THEY TOOK DOWN 
THE ANTIFA MAN 
WHO MURDERED A 
MAN IN THE 
MIDDLE OF THE 
STREET IN 
PORTLAND. 
THE SUSPECT WAS 
KILLED, AFTER 
DRAWING A 
WEAPON. 
OFFICERS 
ATTEMPTED TO 
TAKE HIM INTO 
CUSTODY. 
THEY WANTED TO 
TAKE HIM INTO 
U.S. MARSHALS. 
INCREDIBLE 
PEOPLE. 
I WANT TO THANK 
THEM FOR THEIR 
STRENGTH, THEIR 
BRAVERY. 
AND I REALLY DO 
WISH THAT THE 
MAYOR OF 
PORTLAND AND THE 
GOVERNOR OF 
OREGON WOULD GET 
GOING AND STOP 
THE CRIME IN 
THAT CITY. 
IT WOULD BE SO 
EASY TO DO. 
WHILE WE'RE 
FOCUSED ON 
CREATING GOOD-
PAYING JOBS, THE 
RADICAL LEFT IS 
FOCUSED ON 
UNLEASHING, 
REALLY VIOLENT 
MOBS. 
AND YOU SEE THAT 
WHETHER YOU'RE 
CONSERVATIVE OR 
LIBERAL, 
REPUBLICAN, 
DEMOCRAT, OR 
INDEPENDENT, WE 
MUST ALL AGREE, 
THE NEED FOR 
PEACE AND ORDER 
AND SAFETY. 
UNDER MY 
ADMINISTRATION, 
LAW ENFORCEMENT 
IS CONDUCTING 
ARESOLUTION, 
NATIONWIDE. 
THE REASONS WE 
DIDN'T PUT 
CHICAGO INTO OUR 
LIST. 
WHILE WE'RE 
HOLDING BACK 
FUNDS FROM SOME 
OF THESE STATES 
AND CITIES THAT 
ARE DOING SUCH A 
POOR JOB. 
SUCH AN 
INCOMPETENT JOB. 
A JOB THAT 
NOBODY CAN EVEN 
IMAGINE HOW BAD. 
THEY WERE 
HOLDING IT BACK 
UNTIL THEY GET 
THEIR ACT 
TOGETHER. 
AND WE ARE 
HAVING A LOT OF 
PEOPLE IN 
CHICAGO RIGHT 
NOW. 
AND YOU NOTICE 
THAT THEIR 
NUMBERS ARE 
GOING DOWN 
RAPIDLY. 
BUT WE HAVE 
DEPLOYED A LOT 
OF FEDERAL LAW 
ENFORCEMENT, 
INSIDE OF 
CHICAGO. 
AND THEY'RE 
TAKING OUT QUITE 
A FEW PEOPLE. 
AND THEY'RE 
BEING ARRESTED, 
BEING PUT IN 
JAIL. 
AND YOU SEE THE 
NUMBERS GOING 
DOWN. 
THAT'S WHY YOU 
SEE THAT, WITH 
RESPECT TO THE 
MAYOR, WE DID 
NOT HOLD BACK 
FUNDS IN 
CHICAGO. 
BUT NEW YORK IS 
EXPERIENCING A 
TREMENDOUS CRIME 
WAVE. 
IN SOME CASES, 
UP OVER 300%. 
AND THEY HAVE TO 
DO SOMETHING 
QUICKLY. 
WE JUST SPOKE TO 
MAYOR BOWSER. 
AND SHE'S 
WILLING TO DO 
WHATEVER IS 
NECESSARY. 
AND I WILL HAVE 
A VERY GOOD TALK 
WITH HER. 
THAT'S IN D.C. 
AND THE OTHER 
PLACES, THEY 
SPEAK FOR 
THEMSELVES. 
WE'RE WORKING 
WITH THE STATE 
AND LOCAL 
AUTHORITIES TO 
COMB THROUGH 
HOURS OF 
VIDEOTAPE, 
IDENTIFY AND 
ARREST SUSPECTS 
AND PROSCUTE 
LAWMAKERS. 
WE'VE ALREADY 
GOT OVER 300 IN 
JAIL. 
AND WE HAVE 
TREMENDOUS 
EVIDENCE. 
AND I WANT TO 
THANK THE MEDIA. 
WE HAVE IT FROM 
EVERY DIFFERENT 
ANGLE. 
YOU CAN'T HAVE 
PROBABLY BETTER 
THAN WHAT WE'VE 
GOT. 
WE SEE IT FROM 
THE SKY AND THE 
GROUND AND FROM 
THE RIGHT AND 
FROM THE LEFT. 
SO WHEN THEY SAY 
THEY DIDN'T DO 
IT, WE SAY 
WHAT'S THIS? 
SO WE GET THAT 
FROM MIDIA. 
UNDER OPERATION 
LEGEND. 
THE CITIES 
PLAGUED BY 
VIOLENT CRIME, 
THE INITIATIVE 
HAS ALREADY 
RESULTED IN 
TREMENDOUS 
SUCCESS AND 
NATIONWIDE WE 
HAVE OVER 2,000 
ARRESTS. 
AND WE DON'T 
TALK ABOUT IT 
TOO MUCH. 
BUT NOW WE MIGHT 
AS WELL. 
SO WE'VE 
ARRESTED OVER 
2,000 CRIMINALS 
CRIMINALS. 
AND IN A SINGLE 
MONTH MURDER 
RATE IN CHICAGO, 
AS YOU KNOW. 
AND AS I SAID. 
IT WAS CUT IN 
HALF, ACTUALLY. 
SO ON THE CHINA 
VIRUS FRONT. 
THE NATIONS OF 
EUROPE HAVE 
EXPERIENCED A 
38% GREATER 
EXCESS MORTALITY 
THAN THE UNITED 
STATES. 
38% MORE, 
GREATER, EXCESS 
MORTALITY THAN 
THE UNITED 
STATES. 
A LOT OF YOU 
DON'T WANT TO 
REPORT THAT. 
AND IF WE TOOK 
NEW YORK OUT OF 
THE EQUATION, 
THERE'S NOBODY 
CLOSE. 
THE JOB WE HAVE 
DONE IS 
INCREDIBLE. 
AND WE DON'T GET 
ANY CREDIT FOR 
IT. 
BUT WE'VE DONE 
AN INCREDIBLE 
JOB. 
THROUGH 
OPERATION WARP 
SPEED, WE HAVE 
THREE VACCINES 
IN THE FINAL 
STAGE OF 
CLINICAL TRIALS. 
YESTERDAY, 
PFIZER 
ANNOUNCED, I 
JUST SPOKE TO 
THE HEAD OF 
PFIZER. 
GREAT GUY. 
THEY ANNOUNCED 
THAT HE EXPECTS 
TO HAVE THE 
RESULTS OF 
TRIAL. 
VERY, VERY 
SHORTLY. 
NEXT MONTH. 
BUT VERY 
SHORTLY. 
WE REMAIN ON 
TRACK TO DELIVER 
A VACCINE BEFORE 
THE END OF THE 
YEAR. 
AND MAYBE EVEN 
BEFORE. 
NOVEMBER 1st. 
WE THINK WE CAN 
PROBABLY HAVE IT 
SOMETIME DURING 
THE MONTH OF 
OCTOBER. 
AND PFIZER IS 
AMONG THE 
LEADERS, AS YOU 
KNOW. 
AND IT'S A GREAT 
COMPANY. 
JOHNSON & 
JOHNSON ALSO 
DOING VERY WELL. 
MODERNA. 
WE HAVE REALLY 
GREAT COMPANIES 
THAT ARE ALL 
DOING REALLY 
WELL. 
ALL IN FINAL 
STAGES. 
AND I THINK 
YOU'RE GOING TO 
SEE RESULTS THAT 
ARE SHOCKINGLY 
GOOD. 
FINALLY, I WANT 
TO PROVIDE YOU 
WITH A BRIEF 
UPDATE OF THE 
VIRUS CASES IN 
THE UNITED 
STATES HAVE 
DECLINED, 28% 
NATIONWIDE, OVER 
THE LAST MONTH. 
AND 
HOSPITALIZATIONS 
AND DEATHS HAVE 
CONTINUED TO 
DECLINE OVER THE 
PAST WEEK. 
VERY 
SUBSTANTIALLY 
DECLINE. 
THANKS TO 
AMERICA'S 
MEDICAL GENIUS, 
THE MORTALITY 
RATE HAS BEEN 
REDUCED BY 85% 
IN APRIL. 
MORTALITY RATES 
REDUCED BY 85%. 
HOSPITAL LENGTHS 
OF STAY ARE ONE-
THIRD OF THEIR 
AVERAGE LENGTH 
IN APRIL. 
SO THE 
HOSPITALIZATIONS 
DOWN. 
THE LENGTH OF 
STAY IS WAY 
DOWN. 
IN ORDER TO KEEP 
MAKING PROGRESS 
AGAINST THE 
VIRUS, WE ASK 
ALL AMERICANS TO 
REMAIN VIGILANT, 
ESPECIALLY OVER 
LABOR DAY, YOU 
KNOW, YOU HAVE 
THE LABOR DAY 
WEEKEND. 
COMING UPON US 
IMMEDIATELY. 
I GUESS WE CAN 
SAY PRETTY 
IMMEDIATELY. 
AND WE NEED 
EVERYBODY TO BE 
CAREFUL, TO 
APPLY COMMON 
SENSE. 
AND DO ALL OF 
THE THINGS THAT 
WE'VE TOLD YOU 
TO DO AS 
QUICKLY, AS MUCH 
AS YOU CAN. 
SOCIAL 
DISTANCING. 
WEARING A MASK 
WHENEVER THE 
DISTANCING IS 
NOT POSSIBLE. 
AND STAYING WITH 
A GROUP THAT YOU 
KNOW, LET'S JUST 
TRY TO GET 
THROUGH THIS ONE 
WEEKEND. 
AND I THINK WE 
HAVE A CHANCE OF 
DOING THAT. 
JUST SOCIAL 
DISTANCE. 
WASH YOUR HANDS. 
ALL OF THE 
HYGIENE THINGS 
THAT WE SPEAK 
ABOUT. 
AND WE'RE REALLY 
ROUNDING THE 
TURN. 
AND THE VACCINES 
ARE COMING. 
THE THERAPEUTICS 
HAVE ALREADY 
COME. 
BUT THEY 
CONTINUE TO 
COME. 
THE CONVALESCENT 
PLASMA HAS HAD A 
TREMENDOUS 
IMPACT ALREADY. 
YOU SEE WHAT IS 
HAPPENING THERE. 
AND REMDESIVIR 
HAS BEEN 
INCREDIBLE. 
SO WE HAVE A LOT 
OF THINGS 
HAPPENING. 
A LOT OF 
THERAPEUTICS 
COMING OUT. 
I THINK FROM THE 
STANDPOINT OF 
COMMON SENSE. 
I GUESS 
THERAPEUTICS TO 
ME. 
YOU GO INTO A 
HOSPITAL, YOU 
GIVE SOMEBODY A 
SHOT. 
OR TRANSFUSION 
MIGHT BE A 
TRANSFUSION. 
PROBABLY MORE 
THAN 50% ARE 
ACTUALLY 
TRANSFUSIONS. 
AND THEY'LL 
LEAVE THE 
HOSPITAL SHORTLY 
THEREAFTER. 
I MEAN, TO ME, 
THAT'S MORE 
IMPORTANT IN A 
CERTAIN SENSE 
THAN THE 
VACCINE. 
BUT THE VACCINES 
WILL BE GREAT 
OVER THE LONG 
TERM. 
THE THERAPEUTICS 
OVER THE SHORT 
TERM. 
AND ALSO, 
KNOWING YOU HAVE 
THE 
THERAPEUTICS, I 
THINK IS GREAT, 
FROM THE 
STANDPOINT OF 
THE MIND. 
IT'S GREAT. 
SO I WANT TO 
THANK EVERYBODY 
FOR BEING HERE. 
I'M GOING TO ASK 
LARRY KUDLOW TO 
GIVE A COUPLE OF 
EXAMPLES OF HOW 
STRONG OUR 
ECONOMY IS 
RECOVERING. 
HOW STRONGLY 
IT'S RECOVERING. 
AND IT'S SETTING 
RECORDS AT EVERY 
LEVEL. 
WE'RE DOING 
BETTER THAN 
EVERY OTHER 
COUNTRY. 
WE'RE VERY PROUD 
OF ALL OF THE 
PEOPLE FOR DOING 
SUCH AN 
INCREDIBLE JOB. 
THIS IS A V. 
IT'S A SUPER V. 
AGAIN, WE HAD 
$300 BILLION 
READY TO GO. 
ALL CONGRESS HAD 
TO DO IS SAY USE 
IT. 
IF THEY SAY USE 
IT, I'D LIKE TO 
USE IT WITHOUT 
THEIR 
PERMISSION. 
BUT I GUESS I'M 
NOT ALLOWED TO 
DO THAT. 
I DID ASK THAT 
QUESTION. 
SO CONGRESS HAS 
TO JUST SAY USE 
IT. 
ALL THEY HAVE TO 
DO IS SAY USE 
IT. 
$300 BILLION 
GETS IMMEDIATELY 
PUT INTO OUR 
SYSTEM. 
AND WE'LL REALLY 
HELP THE 
AMERICAN PEOPLE. 
THERE'S NOTHING 
ELSE TO DO. 
JUST A VERY 
QUICK STATEMENT. 
SO I'M GOING TO 
ASK LARRY TO 
COME UP. 
I WANT TO THANK 
ANOTHER MAN FOR 
BEING HERE 
TODAY. 
THERE'S A MAN 
THAT IS AN 
INCREDIBLE 
LEADER. 
LOU HOLZ. 
I'VE KNOWN HIM 
FOR A LONG TIME. 
AND I THINK I'VE 
RECEIVED LETTERS 
FROM EVERY 
FOOTBALL COACH. 
ALMOST IN THE 
NATION. 
NOW, THAT'S A 
LITTLE 
EXAGGERATION. 
BUT SOME OF THE 
GREATS. 
NICK SABAN WROTE 
A LETTER. 
COACH O. AND 
COACH O. IS 
CENTRAL CASTING. 
I SAID, I'M 
GOING TO HAVE TO 
PUT HIM IN A 
MOVIE, RIGHT? 
AS A FOOTBALL 
COACH. 
HE'D REALLY BE 
GOOD PLAYING A 
FOOTBALL COACH 
LIKE YOU. 
AND URBAN MYER 
WROTE A 
BEAUTIFUL 
LETTER. 
AND SO MANY OF 
THE OTHER GREAT 
LEGENDARY 
COACHES. 
NOT ONLY 
COACHES, THOUGH. 
PEOPLE IN 
SPORTS. 
AND PEOPLE IN 
LIFE. 
AND EVEN GREAT 
POLITICAL 
PEOPLE, 
RECOMMENDING LOU 
FOR THE 
PRESIDENTIAL 
MEDAL OF 
FREEDOM. 
AND WE'VE 
ANALYZED IT VERY 
CLOSELY. 
WE'VE LOOKED AT 
ALL OF THOSE. 
RECOMMENDATIONS. 
WE'VE LOOKED AT 
LOU'S LIFE AND 
HIS CAREER AND 
WHAT HE'S DONE 
FOR CHARITY. 
AND THE FOOTBALL 
IS OBVIOUS. 
HE WAS A GREAT 
COACH. 
BUT WHAT HE'S 
DONE, BEYOND 
EVEN COACHING. 
SO LOU WILL BE 
GETTING THE 
PRESIDENTIAL 
MEDAL OF 
FREEDOM. 
AND THE DATA IS 
BEING PICKED. 
IT WON'T BE IN 
THE TOO-DISTANT 
FUTURE. 
LOU IS MARRIED 
TO A GREAT 
WOMAN, RIGHT, 
LOU? 
GREAT WOMAN. 
AND SHE JUST 
PASSED AWAY. 
A FEW MONTHS 
AGO. 
AN INCREDIBLE 
WOMAN. 
SHE WAS 
STRONGER. 
I KNEW HER. 
I KNEW HER. 
SHE WAS STRONGER 
THAN LOU. 
I THINK SHE WAS 
STRONGER THAN 
YOU. 
I HATE TO TELL 
YOU. 
YOU'RE STRONG, 
TOO. 
BUT SHE WAS 
SPECIAL, RIGHT? 
SO I JUST WANT 
TO CONGRATULATE 
COACH LOU HOLZ 
ON SOON TO 
RECEIVE THE 
PRESIDENTIAL 
MEDAL OF 
FREEDOM. 
AND WE LOOK 
FORWARD TO THAT, 
LOU. 
THANK YOU VERY 
MUCH. 
AND YOU CAN STAY 
AROUND AND 
LISTEN TO LARRY 
FOR A COUPLE OF 
SECONDS OR GO TO 
YOUR FRIEND. 
>> YOU PROBABLY 
KNOW HALF OF THE 
PEOPLE IN THE 
ROOM. 
>> I BET THEY 
TREAT YOU BETTER 
THAN THEY TREAT 
ME. 
THEY TREAT HIM 
GOOD. 
I WISH YOU'D 
TREAT ME THAT 
WAY. 
LARRY COME UP. 
>> THANK YOU. 
>> THANKS, SARE. 
APPRECIATE IT. 
AGAIN, COACH, 
MANY CONGRATS. 
MANY, MANY 
CONGRATS. 
JUST TO 
UNDERSCORE THE 
PRESIDENT'S 
ASSESSMENT OF 
THE ECONOMY. 
VERY STRONG JOBS 
REPORT TODAY. 
8.4% 
UNEMPLOYMENT 
RATE. 
1.4 MILLION 
PAYROLLS 
INCREASED. 
BUT I WANT TO 
ADD. 
3.8 MILLION. 
3.8 MILLION 
INCREASE IN THE 
IMPORTANT 
HOUSEHOLD 
SURVEY, WHICH 
AIMS AT SMALL 
BUSINESSES 
PARTICULARLY. 
AND FROM WHICH 
THE UNEMPLOYMENT 
IS CALCULATED. 
IN THE PAST FOUR 
MONTHS, WE'VE 
GENERATED A 10.6 
MILLION INCREASE 
IN THE PAYROLLS. 
AND 14 MILLION 
INCREASE IN 
HOUSEHOLDS. 
SO WE'VE 
RESTORED 
BASICALLY HALF 
OF THE JOBS THAT 
WERE LOST IN THE 
PANDEMIC 
CONTRACTION. 
TODAY'S REPORT 
ALSO INCLUDED 
THE LOWER WAGE 
INDUSTRIES AND 
MINORITY GROUPS 
ACROSS THE 
BOARD, THE 
DIFFUSION INDEX 
WAS A WHOPPING 
69%. 
SO THESE GAINS 
ARE VERY, VERY 
BROAD-BASED. 
THERE'S STILL 
TOO MANY PEOPLE 
OUT. 
STILL TOO MUCH 
HARDSHIP. 
STILL TOO MANY 
UNEMPLOYED. 
AND WE ARE 
WORKING ON THAT, 
AND WE ARE 
MOVING IN THE 
RIGHT DIRECTION. 
AND THAT'S WHY 
TODAY'S NUMBERS 
ARE ENCOURAGING 
AND OPTIMISTIC. 
NOW, OTHER AREAS 
THAT THE 
PRESIDENT 
MENTIONED, JUST 
TO UNDERSCORE. 
WE ARE IN A 
HOUSING BOOM. 
THERE CAN BE NO 
DISAGREEMENT 
ABOUT THAT. 
SALES, MORTGAGE 
APPLICATIONS, 
PRICES, HOME 
STARTS UP 23% 
ANNUALLY IN 
JULY. 
WE ARE IN A CAR 
BOOM, AUTOMOBILE 
BOOM. 
WE'VE GONE FROM 
8.7 MILLION IN 
SALES TO 15.2 
MILLION IN SALES 
IN THE RECENT 
FOUR MONTHS. 
THAT'S A BIG 
JUMP. 
AS THE PRESIDENT 
MENTIONED, THE 
LEADING 
INDICATOR THAT 
IS USED CAR 
SALES AND 
PRICES. 
THE 
MANUFACTURING 
INDEXES ARE VERY 
STRONG. 
THIS RECOVERY 
INCLUDES 
MANUFACTURING. 
THE ISMs, 
RUNNING IN THE 
HIGH 50s. 
THE NEW ORDER 
INDEXES AT 68. 
PRODUCTION INDEX 
IS 63. 
WE HAD A 
MANUFACTURING 
REPORT FOR 
DURABLES, CORE 
DURABLES. 
OVER THE PAST 
THREE MONTHS, 
ORDERS UP 35%. 
SHIPMENTS UP 
35%. 
THESE ARE VERY 
STRONG NUMBERS. 
NEW BUSINESS 
APPLICATIONS. 
FROM 25,000 TO 
66,000. 
IT'S 160% GAIN 
THROUGH AUGUST. 
AND AS THE 
PRESIDENT 
REFERRED, 
CONSUMER 
SPENDING IS 
BOOMING. 
WE'RE UP 84% 
ANNUALLY OVER 
THE PAST THREE 
MONTHS. 
MY VIEW, OF 
COURSE, WE ARE 
IN A V-SHAPED 
RECOVERY. 
IT IS A SELF-
SUSTAINING 
RECOVERY. 
HIGH DEMAND, 
INCREASED 
PRODUCTION AND 
MANUFACTURING, 
ALONG WITH 
DECLINE IN 
INVENTORIES, 
WILL GIVE US A 
TREMENDOUS 
MOMENTUM GOING 
INTO THE SECOND 
HALF OF THE 
YEAR. 
I STILL RECKON 
THAT THE THIRD 
QUARTER WILL BE 
AT LEAST 20% 
GROWTH. 
THE ATLANTA 
FED'S GDP NOW 
INDEX IS CLOSE 
TO 30%. 
I THINK THE 
WHOLE SECOND 
HALF AND NEXT 
YEAR, PROVIDED 
THE ECONOMIC 
POLICIES REMAIN 
PRO GROWTH. 
AND I JUST WANT 
TO MENTION ONE 
THING. 
ON THE POLICY 
FRONT. 
I SIMPLY DON'T 
UNDERSTAND THE 
OTHER SIDE, 
WANTING A $4 
TRILLION TAX 
INCREASE AFTER A 
DEPANDEMMIC 
CONTRACTION. 
AND ON THIS 
POINT, I 
BELIEVE, VAST 
MAJORITY OF THE 
ECONOMY. 
I DON'T CARE IF 
YOU'RE SUPPLY 
SIDER. 
YOU JUST DON'T 
RAISE TAXES BY 
THIS AMOUNT OR 
ANY AMOUNT 
REALLY. 
BUT $4 TRILLION. 
REALLY PICKING 
THE POCKETS OF 
TAXPAYERS  WHO 
ARE RETURNING TO 
WORK NOW. 
AND NEED ALL THE 
RESOURCES THEY 
CAN GET. 
YOU JUST DON'T 
DO IT. 
PROFESSION 
SHOULD HAVE A 
COMPLETE 
CONSENSUS ON 
THAT. 
SO I'M QUITE 
SURPRISED. 
AND I THINK THAT 
IS A POTENTIAL 
OBSTACLE. 
AND PEOPLE ARE 
BEGINNING TO 
SPEAK ABOUT 
THAT. 
BUT ALL I CAN 
SAY IS 
FACTUALLY, THE 
NUMBERS ARE 
COMING IN VERY 
POSITIVELY. 
WITH A LOT OF 
OPTIMISM GOING 
ON. 
MORE WORK TO BE 
DONE. 
BUT WE'RE 
ROLLING IN THE 
RIGHT DIRECTION. 
APPRECIATE IT. 
>> THANK YOU, 
PRESIDENT TRUMP. 
IF I CAN FIRST 
ASK YOU A 
CLARIFYING 
QUESTION ABOUT 
THE 300 BILLION. 
YOU RULED OUT 
SAYING THAT YOU 
ARE WAITING FOR 
CONGRESS TO 
REPURPOSE IT 
AFTER STIMULUS 
CHECKS. 
>> YEAH. 
WHAT ABOUT IT. 
>> NO. 
IS THAT CORRECT? 
>> THERE'S A 
THEORY I CAN DO 
IT WITHOUT THE 
APPROVAL. 
BUT I'D RATHER 
GET THE APPROVAL 
SO THAT WE HAVE 
IT. 
BUT THERE'S A 
THEORY I COULD 
TACKED THE $300 
BILLION. 
IT'S MONEY THAT 
WE HAVE AND 
BUILT UP AND 
HAVEN'T SPENT. 
AND I WOULD LOVE 
TO GIVEN IT TO 
THE AMERICAN 
PEOPLE. 
I THINK THERE A 
THEORY THAT I 
COULD DO IT. 
BUT I WOULD ASK 
CONGRESS TO 
APPROVE IT. 
IT'S A VERY 
SIMPLE APPROVAL. 
LITERALLY, IT'S 
A ONE-SENTENCE 
APPROVAL. 
AND THE 
DEMOCRATS SHOULD 
DO THAT. 
THE REPUBLICANS 
WILL DO THAT. 
THEY'D BE GLAD 
TO DO THAT. 
SO WE'LL SEE 
WHETHER OR NOT 
THEY DO IT. 
OKAY? 
PLEASE. 
IN THE BACK? 
>> MR. 
PRESIDENT. 
OUR EDITOR IN 
CHIEF JOHN 
SOLOMON HAD AN 
ORDER WITH THE 
POLICE. 
HE SAID THEY 
WERE GOING TO 
ENDORSE YOU. 
I'D LIKE YOUR 
RESPONSE AS WELL 
AS THE NATIONAL 
FRATERNAL 
ORGANIZATION OF 
POLICE IN THE 
U.S. AS WELL. 
>> WELL, I'M 
HONORED THAT 
DELAWARE BECAUSE 
I DON'T SEE 
BIDEN ANYWHERE 
BUT DELAWARE. 
HE'S -- AND I 
LIKE DELAWARE, 
TOO. 
BUT TO HAVE THE 
LAW ENFORCEMENT 
IN DELAWARE GIVE 
THEIR 
ENDORSEMENT TO 
ME IS REALLY A 
GREAT HONOR. 
IT'S REALLY, 
JUST SHOWS YOU 
HOW PATHETIC THE 
DEMOCRATS ARE 
WHEN IT COMES TO 
CRIME, WHEN IT 
COMES TO LAW AND 
ORDER. 
SO WILL YOU 
PLEASE EXTEND MY 
VERY GREAT 
THANKS? 
IT'S A GREAT 
HONOR TO GET IT 
FROM DELAWARE 
LAW ENFORCEMENT. 
WE'VE GOTTEN IT 
FROM ALMOST ALL 
LAW ENFORCEMENT. 
BUT THAT -- 
BECAUSE EVERY 
TIME I SEE BIDEN 
SPEAK. 
IT'S HIS 
DELAWARE, 
DELAWARE, 
DELAWARE. 
HE NEVER LEAVES. 
I'M ALL OVER THE 
COUNTRY. 
ALL OVER THE 
PLACE. 
>> THANKS, MR. 
PRESIDENT. 
GERMANY HAS SAID 
THE RUSSIAN 
OPPOSITION 
LEADER WAS 
POISONED. 
WHAT DO YOU 
THINK SHOULD BE 
DONE TO RUSSIA 
ABOUT THAT? 
WHAT IS YOUR 
MESSAGE TO 
RUSSIA ABOUT 
THAT. 
AND HOW SHOULD 
THE UNITED 
STATES AND 
COMMUNITY 
RESPOND? 
>> I THINK IT'S 
VERY SERIOUS IF 
THAT'S THE CASE. 
AND I THINK WE 
WILL. 
THERE IS NOBODY 
TOUGHER WITH 
RUSSIA THAT KNOW 
I AM. 
I GET ALONG WITH 
ALL COUNTRIES. 
REMEMBER, WE ARE 
SUPPOSED TO BE 
GOING TO WAR. 
IF HILLARY WERE 
ELECTED, WE'D BE 
AT WAR WITH 
NORTH KOREA. 
THAT WOULD BE A 
MESSY WAR. 
MILLIONS OF 
PEOPLE WOULD GET 
KILLED. 
IN THE MEANTIME, 
WE DIDN'T GET TO 
WAR WITH THEM. 
EVERYONE SAID IF 
I WERE ELECTED, 
WE WOULD BE AT 
WAR IN A WEEK. 
BUT WE GET ALONG 
WELL. 
WE HAVE A GREAT 
PEACE DEAL GOING 
ON IN THE MIDDLE 
EAST ACTUALLY, 
WITH U.I.E. 
AND ISRAEL. 
AND THAT HAS 
BEEN RECEIVED 
LIKE PROBABLY 
VERY FEW THINGS 
THAT MANY PEOPLE 
HAVE DONE. 
IT'S BEEN VERY 
WELL RECEIVED. 
AND WE'LL BE 
HAVING OTHER 
COUNTRIES, 
ANNOUNCING SOON, 
THEY'RE JOINING 
THAT. 
AND WE COULD 
HAVE A LOT OF 
COUNTRIES. 
AND A LOT OF 
COUNTRIES ARE 
SAYING, HEY, WHY 
DIDN'T YOU BRING 
US IN RIGHT FROM 
THE BEGINNING? 
THEY WOULD HAVE 
LOVED TO HAVE 
BEEN THERE. 
WE'RE DOING A 
LOT OF THINGS. 
I THINK THAT I 
WAS THE ONE THAT 
ALERTED THE 
UNITED STATES 
AND THE WORLD. 
I SAID, WHY IS 
GERMANY SPENDING 
BILLIONS AND 
BILLIONS OF 
DOLLARS TO 
RUSSIA TO GET 
THEIR ENERGY 
FROM RUSSIA? 
AND THEN WE'RE 
SUPPOSED TO 
PROTECT GERMANY 
FROM RUSSIA? 
WHAT IS THAT ALL 
ABOUT? 
AND THE 
SANCTIONS AND 
EVERYTHING ELSE. 
AT THE SAME 
TIME, WE'RE 
RIGHT NOW, 
NEGOTIATING A 
NUCLEAR 
NONPROLIFERATION 
TREATY. 
WHICH IS A VERY 
IMPORTANT THING 
TO ME. 
IT'S THE MOST 
IMPORTANT THING. 
SOME PEOPLE SAY 
GLOBAL WARMING. 
I DON'T. 
I SAY THIS IS 
FAR MORE 
IMPORTANT. 
AND WE ARE THE 
BIGGEST. 
THEY ARE THE 
SECOND BIGGEST, 
NUCLEARWISE. 
CHINA IS THIRD. 
THEY'RE ACTUALLY 
A DISTANT THIRD. 
BUT THEY'RE 
BUILDING PRETTY 
RAPIDLY. 
AND AT SOME 
POINT, WE'LL 
INCLUDE CHINA 
INTO THOSE 
TALKS. 
BUT WE'RE DOING 
VERY WELL WITH 
RUSSIA ON 
NUCLEAR 
NONPROLIFERATION. 
I DON'T KNOW 
EXACTLY WHAT 
HAPPENED. 
I THINK IT'S 
TRAGIC. 
IT'S TERRIBLE. 
IT SHOULDN'T 
HAPPEN. 
WE HAVEN'T HAD 
AND PROOF YET. 
BUT I WILL TAKE 
A LOOK. 
IT IS 
INTERESTING THAT 
EVERYBODY IS 
ALWAYS 
MENTIONING 
RUSSIA. 
AND I DON'T MIND 
YOU MENTIONING 
RUSSIA. 
BUT I THINK 
PROBABLY CHINA 
AT THIS POINT IS 
A NATION THAT 
YOU SHOULD BE 
TALKING ABOUT 
MUCH MORE SO 
THAN RUSSIA. 
BECAUSE THE 
THINGS THAT 
CHINA IS DOING 
ARE FAR WORSE, 
IF YOU TAKE A 
LOOK AT WHAT IS 
HAPPENING WITH 
THE WORLD. 
LOOK WHAT 
HAPPENED WITH 
THE CHINA VIRUS. 
LOOK WHAT THEY 
DID BY NOT 
KEEPING THAT 
WITHIN THE 
CONFINES OF 
CHINA. 
THEY SHOULD HAVE 
KEPT IT IN THE 
CONFINES OF 
CHINA. 
THEY SHOULD HAVE 
KEPT IT WITHIN 
180 COUNTRIES IN 
THE WORLD. 
BUT YOU'RE NEVER 
ASKING ABOUT 
CHINA. 
YOU ARE ASKING 
ABOUT RUSSIA. 
I WOULD BE VERY 
ANGRY IF THAT'S 
THE CASE. 
WE'LL LOOK AT 
THE NUMBERS AND 
DOCUMENTS 
BECAUSE WE'RE 
GOING TO BE SENT 
A LOT OF 
DOCUMENTS OVER 
THE NEXT FEW 
DAYS. 
>> MR. 
PRESIDENT? 
>> PLEASE IN THE 
BACK. 
>> THANK YOU, 
MR. PRESIDENT. 
[ INAUDIBLE ] 
>> THANK YOU [ 
INAUDIBLE ] 
OUTREACH, THE 
INDIAN-AMERICAN 
WITH A VIDEO 
CALLED FOUR MORE 
YEARS FOR YOU. 
WHICH HAS GONE 
VIRAL AMIDST 
BATTLEGROUND 
STATES. 
MY QUESTION IS [ 
INAUDIBLE ] WITH 
IVANKA TRUMP, 
WILL BE 
CAMPAIGNING ON 
YOUR BEHALF? 
[ INAUDIBLE ] 
>> I DIDN'T 
UNDERSTAND 
EVERYTHING YOU 
SAID. 
I KNOW INDIA. 
AND I UNDERSTOOD 
THOSE YOUNG 
PEOPLE THAT YOU 
MENTIONED. 
THEY'RE VERY 
GOOD YOUNG 
PEOPLE. 
AND I KNOW THEIR 
RELATIONSHIP TO 
INDY IS VERY 
GOOD. 
AND SO IS MINE. 
AND PRIME 
MINISTER MODI IS 
A FRIEND OF 
MINE. 
AND HE'S DOING A 
VERY GOOD JOB. 
AND NOTHING 
EASY. 
NOTHING EASY. 
BUT HE'S DOING A 
VERY GOOD JOB. 
WE'RE TALKING, I 
MEAN, WHILE 
WE'RE AT IT, 
WE'RE TALKING 
ABOUT CHINA AND 
INDIA. 
PRETTY GOOD ON 
THE BORDER AS 
YOU KNOW. 
IT'S BEEN VERY 
NASTY. 
BEEN A VERY 
NASTY SITUATION. 
AND WE STAND 
READY TO HELP 
WITH RESPECT TO 
CHINA AND TO 
INDIA. 
IF WE CAN DO 
ANYTHING, WE 
WOULD LOVE TO 
GET INVOLVED AND 
HELP. 
AND WE ARE 
TALKING TO BOTH 
COUNTRIES ABOUT 
THAT. 
BUT I APPRECIATE 
YOUR NICE 
SENTIMENTS. 
THEY THINK A LOT 
OF INDIA, AND SO 
DO I. AND I 
THINK A LOT OF 
YOUR PRIME 
MINISTER. 
THANK YOU. 
>> MY QUESTION 
WAS [ INAUDIBLE 
] DO YOU THINK 
-- [ INAUDIBLE ] 
>> WE HAD AN 
EVENT IN 
HOUSTON, AS YOU 
KNOW. 
AND IT WAS A 
FANTASTIC EVENT. 
I WAS INVITED BY 
PRIME MINISTER 
MODI. 
AND THIS WAS A 
MASSIVE. 
THIS WAS AT THE, 
WHERE THEY PLAY 
FOOTBALL. 
HOUSTON FOOTBALL 
TEAM. 
AND IT WAS 
INCREDIBLE. 
IT WAS ACTUALLY 
INCREDIBLE. 
AND THE PRIME 
MINISTER COULD 
NOT HAVE BEEN 
MORE GENEROUS. 
WE HAVE GREAT 
SUPPORT FROM 
INDIA. 
WE HAVE GREAT 
SUPPORT FROM 
PRIME MINISTER 
MODI. 
AND I WOULD 
THINK THAT THE 
PEOPLE, INDIAN 
PEOPLE, WOULD BE 
VOTING FOR 
TRUMP. 
I ALSO, AS YOU 
KNOW, WENT TO 
INDIA, JUST 
PRIOR TO THE 
PANDEMIC 
SETTING, BECAUSE 
INDIA HAS BEEN 
HIT VERY HARD. 
LEFT REALLY, 
ABOUT A WEEK 
BEFORE THAT. 
AND WE HAD AN 
INCREDIBLE TIME 
WITH WHAT WE SAW 
THE PEOPLE ARE 
SO INCREDIBLE. 
IT'S REALLY AN 
INCREDIBLE 
PLACE. 
AN INCREDIBLE 
COUNTRY. 
AND IT'S 
DEFINITELY BIG. 
DEFINITELY BIG. 
BUT YOU'VE GOT A 
GREAT LEADER. 
AND HE'S A GREAT 
PERSON. 
>> THANK YOU, 
SIR. 
YOU THINK CHINA 
IS BULLYING 
INDIA? 
>> I HOPE NOT. 
I HOPE NOT. 
BUT THEY'RE 
CERTAINLY GOING 
AT IT. 
THEY'RE GOING AT 
IT MUCH MORE 
STRONGLY THAN A 
LOT OF PEOPLE 
EVEN UNDERSTAND. 
YEAH, GO AHEAD. 
>> THANK YOU, 
SIR. 
YOU JUST SAID 
YOU HAVEN'T HAD 
ANY PROOF YET. 
YOU HAVE ANY 
REASON TO DOUBT 
GERMANY? 
>> NO, I DON'T. 
I HEAR GERMANY 
HAS MADE -- 
WASN'T 
DEFINITIVE OR 
ALMOST 
DEFINITIVE. 
BUT WE HAVE NOT 
SEEN IT 
OURSELVES. 
WE HAVE NOT SEEN 
IT OURSELVES. 
I WOULD 
CERTAINLY BE 
OKAY WITH THAT. 
THEY WANT TO DO 
SOMETHING. 
THEY WERE TO 
TAKE ACTION. 
SHOULDN'T 
HAPPEN. 
SHOULDN'T 
HAPPEN. 
BUT AGAIN, WE 
ARE WORKING VERY 
CLOSELY WITH A 
LOT OF 
COUNTRIES, AND A 
LOT OF DIFFERENT 
THINGS. 
WE'VE TAKEN 
STRONGER ACTION 
AGAINST RUSSIA 
THAN ANY OTHER 
COUNTRY IN THE 
WORLD, AS YOU 
KNOW. 
I'LL TELL YOU, 
PRESIDENT PUTIN 
WOULD TELL YOU 
THAT NOW. 
BUT THE FACT 
THAT I GET ALONG 
WITH RUSSIA, AND 
I GET ALONG, 
FRANKLY, WITH 
EVERYBODY RIGHT 
NOW. 
I'M NOT GETTING 
ALONG WITH 
CHINA. 
BUT THAT'S MY 
CHOICE. 
I DON'T LIKE 
WHAT HAPPENED 
WITH RESPECT TO 
THE PANDEMIC, 
WITH RESPECT TO 
THE CHINA VIRUS. 
I DON'T LIKE IT 
AT ALL. 
WHAT THEY'VE 
DONE TO THIS 
WORLD AND THIS 
COUNTRY AND 
EUROPE AND EVERY 
PLACE ELSE IS 
TERRIBLE. 
BUT I DO GET 
ALONG WITH 
PRESIDENT PUTIN. 
BUT I'VE BEEN 
TOUGHER ON 
RUSSIA THAN 
ANYBODY ELSE BY 
FAR. 
IF YOU LOOK AT 
THE OBAMA 
ADMINISTRATION, 
THEY WERE WEAK. 
LOOK AT THE LAND 
THEY GAVE UP. 
LOOK WHAT 
HAPPENED WITH 
RESPECT TO 
UKRAINE. 
SUCH A BIG PART 
OF UKRAINE, 
GIVEN UP DURING 
THE OBAMA 
ADMINISTRATION. 
AND I DON'T 
THINK THEY WOULD 
HAVE DONE THAT 
WITH ME. 
I DON'T THINK 
THEY WOULD HAVE 
DONE THAT WITH 
ME AT ALL. 
WE GAVE TANK 
BUSTERS. 
AND THEY GAVE 
PILLOWS. 
HAVE YOU EVER 
HEARD THAT 
EXPRESSION? 
THEY SENT 
PILLOWS AND WE 
SENT TANK 
BUSTERS TO 
UKRAINE. 
SO WITH THAT 
BEING SAID, IF 
WE CAN DO A 
NUCLEAR NONFROM 
PROLIFERATION 
AGREEMENT. 
BUT NO, I WOULD 
NOT BE AT ALL 
HAPPY IF THAT 
WERE THE CASE. 
AND IT LOOKS 
LIKE THAT MIGHT 
WELL BE THE 
CASE. 
BASED ON WHAT 
GERMANY IS 
SAYING, THAT 
SEEMS TO BE THE 
CASE. 
>> I WANT TO ASK 
YOU ABOUT 
SOMETHING YOU 
SAID A WHILE 
BACK THAT HAS 
BEEN TALKED 
ABOUT MANY 
TIMES. 
BACK IN 2015, 
YOU SAID YOU 
DIDN'T THINK 
JOHN McCAIN WAS 
A HERO, THAT YOU 
DON'T -- YOU 
PREFER PEOPLE 
WHO DON'T GET 
CAPTURE. 
IN LIGHT OF ALL 
OF THAT AND ALL 
YOU'VE LEARNED, 
DO YOU REGRET 
SAYING THAT? 
>> I SAY WHAT I 
SAY. 
AND I NEVER GOT 
ALONG WITH JOHN 
McCAIN. 
I DISAGREED WITH 
JOHN McCAIN, YOU 
KNOW THAT BETTER 
THAN ANYBODY, 
FRANKLY. 
I WASN'T A FAN. 
I DISAGREED WITH 
MANY OF HIS 
VIEWS. 
I DISAGREED WITH 
HIS VIEWS OF 
THESE RIDICULOUS 
ENDLESS WARS. 
I DISAGREED WITH 
THE WAY HE 
HANDLED THE 
VETS, THE V.A. 
IS HANDLED MUCH 
BETTER ENOUGH. 
WE DID WITH THE 
MISSION ACT AND 
THE 
ACCOUNTABILITY 
AND ALL THE 
THINGS WE HAVE 
DONE FOR THE VA. 
HE WAS NOT ABLE 
TO DO THAT, BUT 
I DISAGREED WITH 
JOHN McCAIN ON A 
LOT OF THINGS. 
THAT DOESN'T 
MEAN I DON'T 
RESPECT HIM. 
I RESPECTED HIM. 
BUT I REALLY 
DISAGREE WITH HIM
ON A LOT OF 
THINGS. 
I THINK I WAS 
RIGHT. 
I THINK TIME HAS 
PROVEN ME RIGHT, 
TO A LARGE 
EXTENT. 
>> THANK YOU, 
MR. PRESIDENT. 
IN THE STATEMENT 
YOU READ BEFORE, 
WE SPOKE ABOUT 
HOW YOU BELIEVE 
THAT WE ARE, AS 
YOU PUT IT, 
ROUNDING THE 
CORNER ON THE 
CORONAVIRUS 
PANDEMIC CHECK. 
I THINK 
EVERYBODY WOULD 
LOVE TO SEE THIS 
PANDEMIC COME TO 
AN END, NO DOUBT 
ABOUT THAT. 
BUT I WANTED TO 
ASK YOU ABOUT 
COMING OUT AT 
THE UNIVERSITY 
OF WASHINGTON. 
THEY ARE 
FORECASTING BY 
JANUARY 1st OF 
NEXT YEAR, THAT 
WE WILL HAVE A 
410,000 AMERICAN 
DEATHS FROM 
CORONAVIRUS, 
WHICH IS 225,000 
FROM WHERE WE 
ARE RIGHT NOW. 
CAN YOU EXPLAIN 
HOW YOU SEE US 
ROUNDING THE 
CORNER, BASED 
UPON THAT 
PROJECTION? 
>> IF I DIDN'T 
CLOSE UP OUR 
COUNTRY, IF I 
DIDN'T STOP 
CHINA, HIGHLY 
INFECTED FROM 
COMING IN, IF I 
DIDN'T STOP 
EUROPE FROM 
COMING IN FAR 
SOONER THAN 
ANYBODY ELSE, 
INCLUDING DR. 
FAUCI AND OTHERS 
WANTED TO. AND 
DR. FAUCI WAS 
VERY NICE, HE 
SAID, PRESIDENT 
TRUMP MADE A 
GREAT DECISION. 
WE WOULD HAVE 
FAR MORE THAN 
THAT. 
BUT MAYBE EVEN 
MORE 
IMPORTANTLY, IF 
I DIDN'T CLOSE 
UP, WE WOULD 
HAVE COME 
INSTEAD OF THE 
NUMBER YOU 
MENTIONED OR 
WHATEVER IT MAE 
BE,  WE ARE 
ABOUT 180, WE 
WOULD HAVE 
PERHAPS 1.5 OR 2 
MILLION DEATHS 
RIGHT NOW. 
IF I WENT A 
DIFFERENT 
DIRECTION, WHICH 
SOME PEOPLE 
WANTED ME TO DO. 
I DECIDED NOT TO 
DO IT. 
WE WOULD HAVE 2 
MILLION DEATHS. 
A LOT OF 
COUNTRIES DON'T 
REPORT THEIR 
DEATHS. 
OBVIOUSLY CHINA 
IS NOT REPORTING 
BECAUSE THEY HAD 
FAR MORE THAN WE 
DID. 
CHINA HAD FAR 
MORE DEPTH THAN 
WE DID, IN MY 
OPINION, THAT'S 
JUST MY OPINION. 
BUT THEY DON'T 
REPORT THEIR 
DEBTS OR THEY 
DON'T REPORT 
THEM ACCURATELY. 
I DON'T WANT TO 
EMBARRASS OTHER 
COUNTRIES, BUT I 
CAN TELL YOU 
THAT THERE ARE 
OTHER COUNTRIES 
WHERE THE DENTAL 
IS FAR HIGHER 
THAN THE UNITED 
STATES. 
THEY DON'T 
REPORT THAT. 
WE REPORTED TO A 
LEVEL THAT 
NOBODY REPORTS 
IT. 
WE ALSO DO 
TESTING ON 
CASES, I WANT 
YOUR BROADCAST 
AND I READ YOUR 
INFORMATION, 
YOUR MEDIA OUTLET
VERY CAREFULLY. 
I LOOK AT THE 
WORD CASES. 
REASON, YOU 
KNOW, ISAIAH 100 
TIMES, NOBODY 
WANTS TO PICK IT 
UP. WE DO 
TESTING AT A 
LEVEL THAT 
NOBODY EVER 
DREAMED 
POSSIBLE. 
WE HAVE THE BEST 
TEST, BY FAR THE 
MOST TEST 
ACTUALLY, INDIA, 
PER YOUR 
QUESTION BEFORE, 
INDIA IS NUMBER 
TWO. 
THEY HAVE DONE A 
GOOD JOB. 
BUT THEY ARE 
ABOUT 40 MILLION 
TESTS BEHIND US. 
AND THEY ARE A 
COUNTRY OF 1.5 
MILLION PEOPLE. 
NOW, BECAUSE OF 
ALL THESE TESTS, 
WE HAD FAR MORE 
CASES. 
IF WE CUT OUR 
CASES IN HALF, 
IF WE CUT OUR 
TESTING AND 
HEALTH, WE 
PROBABLY HAVE 
ABOUT HALF THE 
NUMBER OF CASES. 
IT WOULD CUT IT 
DOWN TO A LEVEL, 
SOME COUNTRIES 
DON'T TEST. 
THEY TEST WHEN 
SOMEBODY WALKS 
INTO A HOSPITAL. 
THAT IS THE TEST 
YOU GOT. 
THEY WALK INTO A 
HOSPITAL, THEY 
ARE SICK, YOU 
GET A TEST. 
WE HAVE TESTED 
MORE AND BETTER, 
AND YOU TO SEE 
WHERE WE NOW 
HAVE MILLIONS OF 
TESTS COMING IN 
FROM A CERTAIN 
COMPANY THAT HAS 
DONE A FANTASTIC 
JOB AND IT'LL BE 
ANYWHERE FROM 
FIVE MINUTES TO 
15 MINUTES ON 
THE SPOT, VERY 
ACCURATE ON THIS 
TEST. 
IF WE HAD MUCH 
LESS TESTING, NO 
TESTING, WE 
WOULD HAVE, YOU 
WOULDN'T BE 
REPORTING. I 
DON'T WANT TO GO 
OV
