Repeated his claim in a tweet so we just went for lunch that he cant get it and cant give it, twitter flagged it as misleading and potentially afterwards and he said, how do harmful. The doctor is vague about whether he has lingering we harness all of this kinetic symptoms or has a fever writing hes been feverfree well over 24 hours and all symptoms improved. The Trump Campaign facing energy that we have. Pushback from dr. Anthony fauci boy, that was a terrible craig, after lifting part of a that was awful 7monthold sound bite for a new ad.

Spiritual component too. But dr. Fauci tells nbc news they did this without my permission and my comments were taken out of context. Tell me about the book. In my five decades of public yeah, you know, i think in our culture we have the wrong question that we ask children. Service, i have never publicly what do you want to be when you endorse nor do i now endorse any grow up . And the better question is what political candidates. With just 22 days until the has god already planned for you while you were being formed in election, a new National Poll has joe biden way ahead of the your mothers womb and what president , 54 to 42 among david calls in the psalm, that likely voters. Secret dark place where youre biden, after a weekend stop in awesomely and gloriously pennsylvania, heading to ohio designed by god for his purposes today, urging voters to beware of intimidation tactics at the and it gives a child much polls. Greater sense of worth to know heres the deal, guys. That they were custom made by youve got to go out and make god for dreams and for life on sure you vote, because the only way we lose this is by the chicanery going on at polling this planet and beyond my parents raised me that way. My dad used to say i love you places. Too much to deny you the reporter heres where things stand in some of the key privilege of making mistakes they told me to dream big because god is bigger than battlegrounds. Anything you can dream and i think when i look back on this morning a poll shows biden my life, my childhood dreams is up by 6 in the state of were to be an actress and a singer i sort of took a detour, as many michigan, 52 46 . Of us do, and i never got away from those dreams. In nevada, biden also holds a now theyre coming in my life lead 52 46 .

As we mentioned, confirmation for a reason hearings for Supreme Court where your dreams are and where Justice Nominee amy coney you follow them will be your barrett are beginning this morning, both sides digging in bliss. For a fight. I taught hoda and jenna over the nbcs capitol hill correspondent years, my joy is nonnegotiable kasie hunt has the latest. You guys have heard me say that before reporter the Supreme Court taking center stage this but where your joy is, is where morning. Youre doing what you were born to do. Judge Amy Coney Barrett set to and we get away from it as we tell the Judiciary Committee grow older that the courts are, quote, not designed to solve every problem weve been told by certain or right every wrong in our people youve got to be a lawyer and youve got to go to this and public life. Go to that university. In her Opening Statement well, my son went to oxford obtained by nbc news, Barrett University and got his degree to wont mention her conservatism or devout catholic religious views, writing, quote, americans be a screen writer he needed to do that for his of all backgrounds deserve an work. Cassidy went to usc and started making movies. Independent Supreme Court that you know, were all different. I think if god goes to so much interprets our constitution and trouble to make snowflakes laws as they are written. Unique and completely different, judges are not policy makers. Reporter republicans imagine the care he takes in confident they have the votes to confirm barrett, who will designing each child in the womb replace Ruth Bader Ginsburg and of their mother. Cement a conservative majority its just i wanted everybody to look at it a little on the court. As a notre dame law professor differently. Anita schmidt did such beautiful, beautiful barrett signed on to a 2006 illustrations. And i know you and hoda have had newspaper ad calling the legacy of roe versus wade barbaric and your share of successful shell face questions about abortion. Childrens books so you guys know how important those illustrations are. I just write the prose and thats easy for me i was basically writing a little i will be focused on her song state of views on a womans but they spend hours and hours and hours making it come to right to choose. Life. Reporter democrats warning kath, you mentioned your she could be the deciding vote kids, they got weddings. What can you tell us about the to strike down the affordable ceremonies care act with arguments in a were they intimate critical case set for just days small . After the election. I was invited. The pandemic will make this thats a given. Hearing unlike any before. What was it like for you. Judiciary Committee Chairman there were points in my life Lindsey Graham denying a request where i felt like i was not from commithtte going to be invited. Committee tested positive for cody just got married over labor day in our backyard up in covid19. Joe bidens running mate, kamala connecticut. Harris, is also on the committee attending the hearings virtually cass got married at her husbands family farm in from her Senate Office tweeting that republicans are endangering michigan back in june. Lives. Thats our driveway coming up to our house, coda and erica. I think they are looking for anything to delay things even a and they have been together for seven years. Day or two or three. Cass and ben had been best friends since she was 11 and he was 14 reporter so instead of testing ahead of the hearing, he knew when he was 14 that he was going to marry her they are relying on so theyre sweet stories questionnaires for senators who cass and her husband love this part of the world. Are attending the hearing here they have been visiting me hopefully theyll head on this at the capitol in person. Senator mike lee who tested way. Positive for covid19 after id love it if cody did too one of these days. Attending an event at the white but theyre happy. House is here at the hearing in person. They have met the person they he gave the Opening Statement want to spend their life with. Theres a scripture in 3 john without a mask on. That says i have no greater joy so right now, we are hearing additional Opening Statements, than to know my children walk in truth. Thats the truth you all have children so you and we are expecting to hear from judge Amy Coney Barrett know the other saying, were only as later on in the day, but it is happy as our least happy child. Of course impossible to remove my mom always says that what is going on here in, at the capitol from the political why . It is a great season in my crucible outside and millions of life. People have cast their ballots the vegas odds are in the and the republicans are hoping high favors that the kids are that the hearing reminds them, Republican Voters of why they going to end up somewhere in the joined the party in the first place. Nashville area im sure. They want to get away from me they are hoping that even if the i dont understand it. Theyre giving us the big voters are nervous about donald wrap we could spend all day with you. Trump, this is going to we love you. Actually shell be back on the fourth hour so well see you in potentially bring them home, and democrats meanwhile raising a couple of minutes. Before we see her in a millions of dollars off of all of this, and of course, amy little while, well be looking Coney Barrett is expected to be for some breakfast inspiration confirmed on a strict party line your ears and to your mouth. Vote. Willie. Kasie, these hearings begin just 22 days before election day. How is this playing out on the campaign trail with so many of the players, including senator Kamala Harris directly involved . Reporter of course. So republicans are really hoping that this energizes traditional Republican Voters. Perhaps voters who have decided that they dont want to vote for President Trump but that they might be willing to vote to keep a Republican Senate for questions like this very one about the Supreme Court. But democrats have seen just an absolute wave of donations, on health care she will be asked about the use of the congress taxing authority and she said that ruling pushed them beyond the plausible meaning and this is going to be crucial if the original mandate is constitutional and if the rest of kit it can remain in effect, oscar the grouch here to tell you, yeah, you, she will get a lot of questions about that. To wear a mask out in public around other people. And also the writings of her as a scholar and abortion taking sure itll keep you healthy. Center stage. But more importantly, yes, we will hear a lot about i wont have to see your happy smiling face. Ugh. This, and her opposition of abortion is well known and not and if you dont want to wear a mask, ive just got one thing to tell you. Just because she signed on to scram, go away. Ugh. The newspaper ads in 2016 when caring for each other because we are all in this together. She was a law professor in 2016 so wear a mask and have a rotten day, will ya . And given her deeply catholic ugh. Faith and sounding like they are not attacking her religion, and also when she was in the rose garden in that event called a super spreading event, and she was tested covid over the summer, but she has been repeatedly tested with negative results. As for the timing, Mitch Mcconnell is saying that the full senate will vote soon, but he has not yet said when.

New cases are forcing the league to do some major juggling with the remainder of the seasons schedule and questions are mounting over the effectiveness of the leagues safety measures. Lets go to Morgan Chesky in dallas this morning. Hi, morgan, good morning. Reporter hey, savannah, willie, good morning to you. Multiple teams, multiple outbreaks. Now some think that the nfl is on the edge of a covid collapse. Yesterday games were rescheduled for eight teams over the next month and a half making the schedule look more like a jigsaw puzzle this morning, the frustration finally starting to show this morning, the nfls season being blitzed by covid19. The nfl has altered the week five schedule again. Reporter positive covid tests sunday involving the new England Patriots and Tennessee Titans now throw the League Schedule into disarray.

Only the second time in 70 years the nfl has hosted a tuesday game with cracks starting to show on the nfls coronavirus protocol, players sounding off. For them its not about whats in our best interests or our health and safety, its about what can we make protocolwise that sounds good, looks good, and how can we go out and play games. Reporter games now in jeopardy, putting the nfl in unprecedented territory. Roger goodell is going to have to make a choice. Either add an extra week after the end of the regular season to make up multiple games, or for multiple teams to not play the full 16game schedule. That is a decision that is going to have tremendous consequences. Morgan, i know the league is also considering possible penalties in lieu of this outbreak what more can you tell us about that reporter yeah, savannah, they could be pretty serious we know commissioner Roger Goodell put out a memo last week letting teams know that if they are caught violating these covid protocols, they could face anything from a forfeit of a game to even loss of draft picks.

And europe, and exploring Rapid Testing on designated travel corridors between select cities as a way to shorten quarantines on major routes like new york to london, where u. S. Travelers currently face a 14day quarantine on arrival. Potential changes that could come as soon as the holidays, now just two months away this as Airlines Fight to survive and tens of thousands of u. S. Airline workers remain furloughed the industry desperate for a boost is adding new routes to entice travelers while emphasizing cleaning and safety protocols.

Being able to have a little bit more time to quarantine, get tested before seeing family members is something that people are really taking into consideration this year. Reporter for those who still arent sure, many hotels and airlines are hoping to calm nerves with flexible cancellation policies.

But the Holiday Travel season will look very different if youre at the airports now for example, sky lounges, theyre prepackaging snacks, they have plenty of hand sanitizers everywhere. Hotels are doing things very differently. So this Holiday Travel season will be one like none other, guys. For sure. Turkey over zoom gabe gutierrez, thanks so much, gabe.

Over the weekend, the city says that it issued 60 summonses and more than 150,000 in fines. Willie. Steph, thank you very much. Joining us now is new york Governor Andrew Cuomo. He has a new book out called american crisis, leadership lessons from the covid19 pandemic. Governor cuomo, good morning its good to have you with us. Well talk about the book in just a moment but i want to first ask you about the state of affairs here in new york we know that hospitalizations are rising new york after that march, april and may we suffered through got its arms around coronavirus. But it does look like were heading into a fall and winter where people are worried about whats coming ahead. So how are you looking at this next period as governor . Thank you good morning, willie we are coming into a fall and people should be worried the experts all along have been telling us in the fall the flu comes back, people go indoors, schools open so you should look for a rise in new york were doing Something Different. Overall the new york situation is very, very good were about 1 infection rate, which is one of the lowest rates in the United States of america. We do a tremendous amount of testing. We do more testing in one day than most states do in a week. So we can target very small clusters, we call them, where cases are starting and then we attack those clusters. Thats what were doing right now. We have a cluster in brooklyn and in queens primarily, which is primarily a Hasidic Jewish community that doesnt want to accept the social distancing rules, et cetera so its about 2 of the population but were focusing on that 2 . And we need the ability to focus on these small clusters now. Because if you dont catch a cluster, then it becomes a contagion. Governor, as you know there are a lot of people who live in this city and state and as someone who works in new york and lives in new york and has kids in school in new york believes its inevitable things will shut down again because of what weve heard from Public Health experts about the fall and the winter are you preparing for the possibility of another shutdown . No, im not there yet, willie i dont believe its inevitable. I believe its possible, i dont believe its inevitable. I think we have to get smarter as a country we have to get smarter as states were dealing with a virus we have to use the science and get more sophisticated, and thats where we are in new york. Look, were closing down areas that are about one or two square miles, right these are tiny areas but we have that kind of data. And if you can target that way and close down small areas, then its not inevitable that the spread gets so large that you would have to close down an entire city or a state so, governor get smart is the point, willie. Lets talk about the book, american crisis. I want to talk about some of the details of it. But just broadly the idea of it. Can you see why a lot of people think if you say were in the na book, a retrospective in the middle of it, celebrating the things that you did right, feels off and strange given what may be ahead no. Willie, its not a celebration at all the game isnt over. It is halftime we didnt lose, its only halftime and we had some success. But we also are making a lot of mistakes and when we go into the locker room as a nation and we talk about the first half, we better learn because if we dont learn the lessons, the second half is going to be worse, i can tell you that we have to stop the denial we have to stop the politics we have to stop the partisanship were dealing with a virus the virus doesnt respond to politics were seven months into this the president has a rose garden ceremony, gets covid, comes out and says that was no big deal. I mean its incredible how little we have learned in seven months, and we have to get smarter and we have to get better so with 33,000 nearly people dead in the state of new york, what have you learned as you write about in the early stages that you can apply to later . For example, was it a mistake to send those covidpositive patients back into Nursing Homes . Yeah, heres the first lesson for this nation, willie. How did you not know the virus was coming to the United States . They call it the china virus it wasnt the china virus, it was the european virus you had sars, you had mers, you had ebola, you had dengue. How did you not have a medical watchdog system . Where was the cdc . Where was the department of Homeland Security . The reason new yorks numbers were so high was because the virus was coming here for months undetected it moved from china to europe and then flights were coming from europe. The president banned china travel january 29th did you make any mistakes in this process oh, yes. Youre talking about the federal government what about you yes, that was the first point was that the federal government missed it coming here. Second, we were the first state to do a mask mandate, willie i could have done it earlier the experts were saying the masks didnt work. Common sense said the masks would work i could have done that earlier testing, we got testing as fast as we could. In retrospect, we should have understood that some virus like this would come back after mers and sars and have more sophistication for testing that it took this nation seven months to come up with a real testing regimen and were still not doing it, that was a mistake. Ive got one more question for you quickly before we go theres an axios report that says the Biden Campaign is looking very carefully at you as a potential candidate to become attorney general if joe biden wins this election your advisor was adamant in his denial if your old friend, joe biden, came to you if he were elected and said governor, id like you to be my attorney general, you would say what i would say you are an old friend, you are a good friend, youre going to win this election, youre going to be the president , ill help you any way i can. Im a new yorker i said i would serve as governor, and those rumors, willie, those are only from people who want to get me out of new york i dont know why, but thats where that is coming from. So you would say no, you would not accept the attorney general job. I have no interest in going into washington. I said when this covid situation started, just so i had total credibility with the people of the state, im not running for president , im not running for Vice President , i dont want to go to washington i just am giving you the straight advice as your governor and thats where i am. All right, Governor Andrew Cuomo, thank you for your time this morning the book is called american crisis. Now lets turn and get a quick check of the weather dylan. Good morning again, everyone.

And theyre looking for deals. 94 of shoppers are just as or more important this year as a result of covid19. Are prime day deals really the best deals youll see all year long . Prime day deals are great on a few certain categories Pay Attention to anything amazon owns so devices, echo, kindle, fire, things like that even amazon clothing brands like the essentials and the basics. With fierce competition how can you take advantage of the savings . First familiarize yourself with a retailers app or website. Then make your Shopping List on the amazon app, you can get deal alerts. Its easy, just launch the amazon app, tap on the settings menu and then tap todays deals. Click on the icon that says upcoming and then just scroll down when you see an item you want, just tap watch this deal youll be notified when that item goes on sale. Another tip, on prime day look for deal badges like this that say prime day deal if you see this icon, you know the item has been discounted experts say electronics, clothing, shoes, jewelry and Kitchen Appliances top the list of hot items. This is a year where we may not want to wait for deeper deals. Why is that . Thats exactly right. This is a very uncertain time. I think we should certainly expect inventory shipping delays. So if you see something, a really good deal, for example, pounce on it now. But dont settle for the price you see. Check the competition, including amazons two biggest rivals, walmart and target, to see if the item is cheaper. Are there any items shoppers should hold off on to wait for deeper discounts. In the middle of december, for example, is when youll find the deepest discounts on those toys, but you run the risk of those items potentially selling out. To save money on shipping, order bigger ticket items like tvs and Furniture Online and select instore pickup. It might be in your best interests to consider buy online, pick up in store where you can take advantage of deep discounts happening online. Tips for you to save big this prime day. And another tip to keep in mind, other retailers like best buy might have the same item on your wish list so always ask for a price match if you dont want to
