Remarks about americas war dead. A former Senior Administration official tells cnn trump referred to fallen u. S. Service members in crude and derogatory terms largely confirming a report from the atlantic magazine which cited sources who said trump referred to u. S. War dead as losers and suckers. Straight to the white house now and cnns jeremy diamond. Jeremy, had th has been described to me as an avalanche of tellall books that put the president in less than flattering light. How are officials inside the white house reacting . Reporter no doubt. And it does seem to be an avalanche of books. And with two months left until the election this is the time when voters are tuning in to try and make their decision about the president ial election. And they have a series of books, at least three of them now that we know of, including the Michael Cohen book where we hear Michael Cohen describe the president as a cheat, a liar, a fraud, a bully, a racist, a predator, a con man, and that is just one sentence of that book. He also goes into detail of course describing behindthescenes moments with the president like the ones that you just described. We also have the book by peter strzok, the former fbi agent who describes the inner workings of this investigation into the president and his campaign and these questions of russian interference in the 2016 lerks. Strzok, after being intimately involved with the investigations, concludes he believes President Trump is a National Security threat. And then of course there is the book by bob woodward, the veteran journalist who broke the watergate scandal, who according to multiple sources in this book describes in explosive detail National Security incidents involving the president , the president s handling of the coronavirus pandemic, and we also know that the president was interviewed several times by woodward for that book. Despite, that though, President Trump has already offered a prebuttal of sorts to the woodward book even though we dont note details of what is in it, saying that it will be a fake. That book expected later this month. And then of course the white house is weighing in on the Michael Cohen book. And we do have a statement from the White House Press secretary kayleigh mcenany. This is what she says about Michael Cohen. She says, Michael Cohen is a disgraced felon and disbarred lawyer who lied to congress. He has lost all credibility and its unsurprising to see his latest attempt to profit off of lies. The president for his part has yet to actually weigh in on his former fixers book and the allegations that he is making. And of course we should note that Michael Cohen has his own issues with credibility. You know, he has pleaded guilty to nine federal charges, one of which includes a charge of lying to congress. And even as President Trumps fixer during the 2016 campaign we know he repeatedly bullied and lied to reporters in defense of course of his candidate, now the president of the United States. Ana . Jeremy diamond at the white house. Thank you. These tellall books are coming fast and furious, but will they actually have an impact . Margaret hoover is the cnn political commentator and host of firing line on pbs. Shes worked in president george w. Bushs administration and on two gop president ial campaigns. Shes alongside john avlon, a cnn senior political analyst and the author of washingtons farewell and wingnuts. I want to start with this new book from Michael Cohen. Do you think voters will take this book seriously given cohens past, and do you think it matters when they cast their ballot . Ill go first. Look yes. As always. Ana, i think what we see across the board as trumps this is not a book or a personality that Trump Supporters are going to take seriously. Theyre going to follow what trump says and what you heard the prowess secretary secretary says that hes disgraced and shouldnt be listened to. Theyll consider him disloyal. I think it gives the rest of america people are already in their corners. I dont see Michael Cohens book as one one that is definite i. Ly going to move anyone from their corners. Not to say it doesnt have valuable information in it that we listen to. But this one strikes me as one where people are already in their corners. Its clear there are some things that have come out over the weekend in the context of the military deaths that clearly the white house is more worried about. And thats why the president is engajds at a higher level. Michael cohen im less certain. And john, before you respond i want to give a chance to take another breath or swallow because i know that you probably have that tickle in your throat that i sometimes get and i want to know our viewers to know who are probably watching and thinking oh, my gosh, the coronavirus and hes kouccoughi all over the place. That yes, margaret and john are married. So theyve been exposed to each others germs for a while now. Yeah. You feel better, john . Are you ready to talk . All good. It was a little bit of errant hairspray right before we went on air. Blaming me. But your thoughts about the impacts of this book from Michael Cohen. Look, the white house is going to say what the white house is going to say. But the reality is those of white house have covered trump from the beginning know that Michael Cohen was Donald Trumps most devoted loyal he insulted some of my operatorers at the daily beast in personal terms and we published the threat. The fact the fever broke for cohen is whats significant. Theres every reason to think that he is telling the truth because he was in the room with donald trump on his rise. And if the information is ugly its because what he saw was ugly. And you cant defend roger stone on one hand and condemn Michael Cohen on the other. And there are some details in here like allegedly saying that the president defended aparth d apartheidera south africa and insulted nelson mandela. Evangelicals came to lay hands on him and he mocked them after the fact. That could have a real impact. But for a lot of folks who are in the belief system aspect of this election, for a lot of people, it may just be a quarter, maybe a third of Donald Trumps supporters are impervious to facts, but this is a firstperson account. And to ignore it is to say you that dont believe facts matter anymore. Let me bounce back to you, margaret, because Michael Cohen isnt the only one with a book getting attention this weekend. As we mentioned, 2350ird fbi agent peter strzok is also releasing a book. And according to excerpts, he calls President Trump a National Security threat. He even claims that the agency he worked for did wonder whether he was a manchurian candidate. Whats your reaction to that . Look, in terms of how this will impact voters, i think had falls along the same lines. Trump voters and people who are against trump are already in their corners. John boltons book said the same thing, that this man say National Security threat, a threat to the continuation of our constitutional democracy. John bolton, who was the National Security adviser to donald trump, said that. So in some ways, ana, there is a lot thats not new here if youve been following closely. But even taken out of the memoir context, in the last several days weve seen the president of the United States refuse to condemn russia for the poisoning of Opposition Leader aleksei navalny. Why . Weve seen the telegraph report that when theresa may asked him to take a hard stand against russia for the skirball poisoning he said no, id rather follow, not lead on this issue. Why . Weve seen the senate intel report show unprecedented achlts connections between particularly Paul Manafort and the russians. So if the president wants to clear this up he really should start taking a strong stand against Vladimir Putin instead of Vladimir Putin being the only person on earth he seems afraid of insulting and offending because it recalls the National Rational question why when its clearly not in americas interest. President trump has previously seized on strzoks extramarital affair mocking him in a way some would find inappropriate. Take a look. Remember he and his lover, lisa page. What a group. Shes going to win. 10 million to one shes going to win, im telling you, peter. Im telling you, peter. Shes going to win. Peter, oh, i love you so much. I love you, peter. I love you too, lisa. Lisa. Lisa oh, god, i love you, lisa. And if she doesnt win, lisa, weve got an insurance policy, lisa. The president at this point as far as we know has held back can in tweeting anything about this book or cohens book. Do you think the president will even respond to the book or is it too far in the bookshelf of all the other books that have gone after him . This one is sort of throwing red meat to the base. You i wouldnt be surprised if donald trump gave peter strzok and lisa page unfortunately for them, a little bit of not love, the opposite of love. Just because he kind of cant help himself. You saw how he was enjoying that shtick on the stage. It wouldnt surprise me if he did. And by the way, it goes to his paint. That entire episode was not an episode that reflected well on lchlts impartiality of the fbi. And so that plays to his favor and it reinforces sure. Elements of his narrative where he it wont be the peter strzok book. He can do his insult comic radio routine all day long but when Michael Cohen who could not be more close to donald trump the story in the atlantic by Jeffrey Goldberg which has been confirmed by fox news which had an amazing attempt to rationalize it. When his niece, when his sister is caught on tape, when his wifes best friends book is coming out as well, you see a very consistent portrait of someone who seems to have contempt for key aspects of his constituency and more importantly core American Values too often. The first ballots are out, guys, i know on friday. Hundreds of thousands in North Carolina were sent out. The president has been on a tear lately about mailin voting going so far as to encourage his supporters to vote twice. Listen. You get the unsolicited ballots. Send it in. Then go in, make sure its counted. And if it doesnt tabulate you vote. You just vote. Then if they tabulate it very late, which they shouldnt be doing, theyll see you voted so it wont count. John, youve been doing some reality checks about mailin voting lately. Let me ask you first. These comments prompted several state attorneys general to come out and say you cannot vote twice. Its illegal. But how confused do you think voters are at this point . Look, we know that when donald trump says things to his base that seem selfevidently absurd they sometimes do them. Particularly should have miz ad hoc covid cures. This is basic. Yet when bill barr, at toernlg, was on with our colleague wolf p blitzer he sort of said i dont know, i dont know the state law. I cant vote twice. Hes been attacking mailin ballots. Now hes been encouraging people to vote twice. And i will note just magically that dhs came out with a report the other day saying that russia is trying to spread mailin voting disinformation. It is causing chaos. And now hes asking his supporters to not only stress test the system but commit a felony. Before you respond, margaret, let me play the bill barr comments about mailin voting that he mentioned. Were very closely divided country here. And if people have to have confidence in the results of the election and the legitimacy of the government and people trying to change the rules to this methodology, which as a matter of logic, is very open to fraud and coercion, is reckless and dangerous, and people are playing with fire. Margaret, is he helping the president plant the seeds for a contested election . He says people are playing with fire. But he didnt get to the root of the issue. I mean, the person whos playing with fire who has the largest bully pulpit and frankly will do spread more disinformation more effectively i think than even russian operatives operating from a warehouse in st. Petersburg, is the president of the United States when he says things like that. It is illegal to vote twice, just to be thats basic. And to say that, we used to joke as republicans, we used to jeong, joke its the democrats who say vote early and often. Add that to the list of moral authority weve lost. And how donald trump keeps i did a column the other day for cnn. Donald trump keeps becoming the rights worst negative stereotype of the left. Hes saying vote early and often. Hes insulting our troops. I mean, over and over again. Hes a snowflake. He wants to cancel people who criticize him. Its just the latest example. But this goes to the heart of the integrity of our election, and that could not be more serious. This is serious stuff. John avlon, margaret hoover, as always, good to have you. Im glad you found your voice again, john. Its always in here somewhere. Really appreciate you guys. Have a great weekend. Up next, as Health Experts work to quickly make and approve a coronavirus vaccine, a new poll finds just one in five americans would actually get the vaccine as soon as possible if it was available this year with no cost. So if thats the case, how effective would a vaccine be at ending the pandemic . Well discuss next. Youre live in the cramer krfrm. Cnn newsroom. Have hr stuck ben employees and their data.

Will this Holiday Weekend become another super spreader event . Health experts fear it could after what we saw following memorial day and the 4th of july. Right now coronavirus cases are trending upward in 17 states in the u. S. Deaths nearing 189,000 in the country. Joining us now dr. Ashish jha, the dean at Brown University school of public health. Doctor, always good to have you here. Are you concerned that the u. S. Will see another big spike in cases over this weekend . Thank you for having me on. I am concerned. I think we saw as you said after memorial day a really big surge. After july 4th a moderatesize surge. And we go into labor day with 40,000 new cases a day. Much higher than we were at memorial day. And so im worried that any new surges will be potentially quite catastrophic. We have to be very careful this weekend. Lets talk about the race for a vaccine because we have this new cbs ugov poll out today showing just 21 nationwide say they would get a vaccine as soon as possible if one was available this year without cost. Now, thats down from 32 who said the same thing in july. That number obviously low as well. But how do you make sure the public has confidence in a vaccine . Yeah, theres only one way to make sure people have confidence in the vaccine, and thats to let the science drive the timeline for when the vaccine is ready. If the evidence is in and if we have a safe and effective vaccine, based on the data, then i think the majority of americans lend up being confident about taking the vaccine. If politicians drive the timeline, then obviously its going to be much, much worse. The wall street journal reported three of the vaccine producers are joining together in a pledge not to seek approval for their vaccines until they have been proven safe and effective. One, what do you make of that . And two, do you think that would help bring back some trust among the medical community and americans . Yeah, so first of all, it is a remarkable pledge. I love it. Its great. Its remarkable in that the pharmaceutical companies have to actually make the pledge. And i think thats because there is a lot of concerns about the politicization of the fda and that instead of letting the great scientists at the fda make the decision that we might have the political leaders make the decision. So i think its good that the Vaccine Companies are doing this. I wish they didnt have to. A new ihme model predicts another 200,000 deaths by january. Im still trying to wrap my mind around this because right now were at almost 189,000, which is obviously a Staggering Number but were averaging about 1,000 deaths per day right now. Again, such a high number. But to get another 200,000 plus, that means were going to be seeing 2,000, even 3,000 deaths per day. Do you really think that could happen . So first of all, i hope not. I mean, i think thats really on the high end of the estimates out there. I think we will do better than that. But even at 190,000 deaths where we are right now is so awful. I mean, its so much worse than any other country in the world. But if we do a good job on mask wearing and avoiding indoor gatherings and fix our testing infrastructure and make it better, we can certainly come in well under that 400,000 number. Its really up to us what number we come in at. Dr. Ashish jha, thank you so much for being with us. Thank you for having me on. Up next, with the massive increase in americans voting by mail this year, could it be days, even weeks until we know who actually wins . Are we looking at a repeat of the infamous 2000 election .

Could election day turn into election week . Officials are bracing for a surge in mailin voting that some fear could significantly hamper the ability to count votes in time. Were anticipating that were going to have twice as many ballots sent through the mail or voted early than ever before in the history of our state and were dealing with the same infrastructure because the legislature has not given us more time to on the front end process and even begin opening envelopes until election day morning. If that doesnt change, it may be until friday evening before the full results of michigans elections are in. Time now for crossexamine with cnn legal analyst elie hoenig. Were taking your questions and elies here to answer it. One viewer asks, elie, if there is some dispute about the election does the law place any outer limits on how long that dispute could drag on past election day . Yeah, ana, this could be a chaotic election. But the law does give us important limits and principles. First of all, every state sets its own deadlines to accept and count mailin ballots. Those deadlines vary state by state. Three days, five days, up to 14 days after november 3rd, election day. So we likely will not know who won several states on election day or even the next day. Now, after that under federal law each states chosen president ial electors officially cast their ballots on the monday after the second wednesday in december. This year thats december 14th. But the key date is six days before that. December 8th. Thats what youll hear people call the safe harbor sedate. What that means is any dispute about the states outcome thats resolved by that date is final, cannot be challenged, congress has to accept it. In 2000 the bush versus gore dispute, the Supreme Court came down with its ruling exactly on that safe harbor date and that was a major reason why the Supreme Court decided when and how it did. And even if somehow disputes drag on beyond that date the constitution tells us the president ial term ends at noon january 20th no matter what. So in the very unlikely event that weve not select aid president or Vice President by that date, then we go into succession and the speaker of the house takes over. This could be a wild unpredictable process, ana, but we will be guided by our laws and constitution. Hang on to our seats. Another viewer asked about that interview the attorney general did with wolf blitzer earlier this week and we heard wolf, you know, really press the attorney general on the comments the president made suggesting that somebody should send in their ballot and then also go and try to cast their vote in person. And heres the question. Is there any legal reason why attorney general william barr hedged when asked if it could be legal for a person to vote twice . Is there some law suggesting this could be okay in some circumstances . Ana, i wondered the same thing as i watched this. The answer is just no. Absolutely not. No. However you want to say it. Its a crime under federal law and every states law to vote twice and every state has safeguards in place to detect and prevent multiple voting. Also, its a crime not only to vote twice but also to do what the law calls aid and abet, which means to induce or encourage somebody else to break the law. The a. G. s response to wolf there was bizarre. Either the a. G. Really does not know you cant vote twice, which is just inexplicable, or barr is just absolutely unwilling to say anything that might undermine something the president has said, no matter how ridiculous. If thats the case, then the a. G. Is demeaning the entire Justice Department just to play politics for the president. Another viewer wants to know is there a law or rule against the Justice Department announcing an indictment in a political case shortly before an election . So theres no law. But d. O. J. Has a longstanding policy observed by administrations of both Political Parties called the 60day rule, meaning within 60 days of an election d. O. J. Will not announce new charges or take overt investigative steps such as executing a search warrant that might have a political impact on the election. Now, we just hit that 60day mark two days ago on friday. But the attorney general said, he said it to wolf as well, he does not consider any indictments that may come out of the durham investigation of the origins of the russia investigation to be subject to that rule. Its tough to understand that logic. Of course the durham investigation has a political angle. The president talks about it constantly on the campaign trail. But barr has made clear he intends to keep that door open to a potential september or even october surprise. Elie honig, thank you so much, my friend. Thanks, ana. And dont forget, you can submit your own legal questions to elie at cnn. Com opinion. Chances are if you flip on the tv youll see them. Political ads are starting to flood the airways. Especially now that were in crunch time before the election. Hyperbole and exaggeration all hallmarks of political ads. But are there any rules on making sure americans arent being misled by outright falsehoods . Thats next. Youre live in the cnn newsroom. Stay right there. I didnt realize how special it would be for me to discover all of these things that i found through ancestry. I discovered my great aunt ruth signed up as a nursing cadet for world war ii. You see this scannedin, handwritten document. The most striking detail is her age. She was only 17. Knowing that she saw this thing happening and was brave enough to get involved and do something that was eye opening. Find an honor your ancestors who served in world war ii. Their stories live on at ancestry. Im a sustainability science researcher at amazon. Climate change is the fight of our generation. The biggest obstacle right now is that were running out of time. Amazon now has a goal to be net zero carbon by 2040. We dont really know exactly how we are going to get there. Its going to be pretty hard. But one way or another were going to reduce our Carbon Footprint to net zero. I want my son to know that i tried my hardest to make things better for his generation. If you turn on the tv, you cant miss them. Political ads are flooding the airwaves with just 58 days now until election day. But can you trust that those ads are actually truthful . As Cnns Brian Stelter explains, the federal Communications Commissions rules bar local broadcast stations from censoring ads from qualifying candidates even when they are misleading or just plain false. Reporter local stations are regulated by the federal communications commission. The fccs rules require commercial broadcast stations to provide reasonable access to candidates for federal elective office. The rules say that stations are prohibited from censoring ads that are paid for or sponsored by legally qualified candidates and their authorized organizations. These rules apply to senate and house races as well. The result . The Trump Campaign can buy ads and fill the airwaves with falsehoods like this. Joe biden says if you elect me your taxes are going to be raised not cut. That means small businesses, families and seniors will pay more taxes. Reporter that quote was way oust context. The quul quote shows that biden was raising taxes on the wealthy not on everyone. And biden has asserted hes not going to raise income taxes on anyone making under 400,000 a year. But according to axios that ad has aired in key battleground states, florida, arizona, wisconsin and more. Trump has been unprecedented as a truthchallenged president. And not surprisingly his president ial campaign is taking advantage of a system that cant stop claims that are grossly misleading or worse. Cable networks such as cnn and msnbc have rejected some false trump ads and Cable Networks can make those judgments because political advertising on cable is not regulated by the fcc. But since broadcast is regulated, the stations have no choice. And trumps falsehoods continue. There is one exception to this, though. As fcc commissioner jessica rosenwurtzel told cnn, campaigns have the right to ask stations to remove thirdparty advertisements with false and fake stuff. Third parties like the superpac behind this antibiden fracking ad which was not produced by the Trump Campaign. Fracking in a biden administration. No. We would we would work it out. We would make sure its eliminated. Reporter this week biden addressed that claim head on. I am not banning fracking. No matter how many times donald trump lies about me. Reporter 3w50iden has also leaned on pennsylvania tv stations to remove the pacs ad, saying the news programs shown to your viewers have debunked these claims. Yet you continue to set advertising dollars to allow America First action to spread them further. This incongruence is a disservice to your viewers and a misleading business practice. However, local tv stations are incentivized because pacs pay more for air time than campaigns do. Why . Well, again, the answer is in the fcc rules. The rules say that stations cannot charge legally qualified candidates anything more than the lowest unit charge. This is the amount they charge their most favored commercial customers. As abc News Highlights here, using cmag data, pro trump efforts have booked about 173 million in ads from september through election day. Probiden efforts have booked about 1 151 million. All this spending is a boon for local tv station thats need the money. But it is a burden for viewers who dont know what to believe. Thanks to Brian Stelter for that reporting. Some breaking news. And shocking news today from the highest levels of professional tennis. The worlds number one mens player, top seed Novak Djokovic, is out of the u. S. Open after an incident on the court today. Djokovic acting out of frustration smacks a tennis ball behind him and it hits a line judge. Now, he was immediately defaulted. He left the court. The lineswoman, who was hit in the neck or the head also leaves the court after being checked out. This incident not only costs Novak Djokovic this tournament but also some money. The u. S. Tennis association saying djokovic will lose all ranking points earned at the u. S. Open and will be fined the prize money won at the tournament in addition to any or all fines levied with respect to the offending incident. Novak djokovic was heavily favored to win the u. S. Open.

Maybe its a parent or a grandparent, a friend or colleague or a sibling. For me its my brother john. As many of you know, he is a childhood brain cancer survivor, diagnosed just before his 10th birthday. Hes an adult now, and he works at a grocery store. And for the past several months i have been worried about him. Thank goodness he has stayed healthy. But i just cant even imagine being a parent of a child with a preexisting condition like cancer and trying to navigate the times were in. And ive been following closely as many of you the story of our friend and former colleague wajahat ali and his daughter nuseybas cancer journey. She battled stage 4 liver cancer and eventually received a liver transplant. And so with september being Childhood CancerAwareness Month i wanted to check back in with that family and wajahat ali is joining us now. Wajahat, first i am so happy to see you and ive been following you on twitter. It looks like nuseyba is thriving. How is she doing, your Little Warrior princess . Thank you so much, ana. Great to see you again. Thank you for spending time on your show talking about Childhood Cancer awareness. Shes doing fantastic. Nuseyba, our Warrior Princess, had two costume changes today. In the morning she was rapunzel and now shes wearing her Warrior Princess dress. She just finished watching mulan. She did her makeup. Just because thats the day in the life of nuseyba. Shes doing fantastic. She is cancerfree as of january. She rang the bell. September 24th coming up was the anniversary of her liver transplant. Thanks to an anonymous donor, shawn zaheer. All the tests came back positive. But shes still immunocompromised like so many kids are. And im so happy youre doing this because were in the middle of a pandemic that has killed over 185,000 people and its people like nuseyba that when people say why should i wear a massing, why should i social distance, think about this girl who battled like a warrior for a year. And just to live. And people like your brother, thank god hes alive. Thats why we should care about each other, wear a mask, social distance, and shes doing fantastic. And lets hope knock on wood she thrives and rises. Such wonderful news. Can you just remind our viewers, though, what you guys went through . Last april our 2yearold girl at that time, nuseyba, was diagnosed with hepatoblastoma, a very rare form of cancer that only affects children wp stage 4. It was all over her liver. They found a spot in her lung, meaning it metastasized. They said she wouldnt survive past may because she had every single complication. There was bleeding, the tumor broke off, the chemo had to get delayed. You saw her. There was an ng tube when i used to bring her to the studio. And we day callout, and thanks to that callout, thanks to the fact that you and so many producers. 500 people, mostly people who never met her, signed up to be a liver donor. And shawn zaheer stepped up, gave her a piece of the liver, full liver transplant, and thank god as of january she is cancerfree. But shes not in the clear yet because shes still immunocompromised. But thank god thanks to Health Insurance, ana, thanks to peoples kindness, thanks to awareness. Otherwise, she wouldnt be here. Its incredible. What a strong, brave, brave little girl. And as you have just discussed, ive been thinking about you because of the times were in, the coronavirus pandemic hit just months after you guys celebrated nuseyba being cancerfree. And we know Cancer Patients with covid19 are 16 times more likely to die. Theyre at higher risk of severe illness. So what has that felt like, to experience this once in a centuryit must be so scary. You know, what, its kind of dark humor. In january, once he rang the bell, my wife said, we can get our life back to normal and the pandemic hit. In a strange way, my kids are very resilient that theyve been able to kind of glide through it. My kids wear masks everywhere, they know about the coronavirus. They know to wash their hands. They social distance. And so in a strange way, weve been lucky because we were so accustomed to the daily disruption of cancer. There are so many, though, who still struggling, who are poor, who come from black and brown communities, who dont have Health Insurance when this pandemic hit. As you know, ana, cancer doesnt wait and cancer doesnt care for a pandemic. If you are watching, again, please, please, please, when you wear that mask, its not just about protecting you, its about protecting those around us who are seniors, our elders, children like my daughter, nusayba, who are fighting to survive who have been given a second chance. And i really hope people are listening think deeply about the need for health care. Everyone talks about prayers and miracles. But if it wasnt for my wife who has a job at georgetown, my daughter would not have health care. And i think about the americans right now who do not have health care, who have someone who has cancer in their family, what will happen to our fellow americans. Also think about this, think about this and think deeply about this election, think deeply about Wearing Masks and think deeply about how many of us have family members who are immunocompromised who are vulnerable. If we took care of each other, god willing, as we say, there will be some beautiful stories like your Brothers Story and my daughters story who is thriving and has her makeup on. I have a 4yearold and that sounds like she is at least getting some of that experience that all children should have at this age despite the pandemic. She sounds very spirited and shes so beautiful. Wajahat ali, thank you for sharing with us and providing that glimmer of light in our lives today to see her thriving is so wonderful and thank you for raising awareness about Childhood Cancer. Thank you so much for using this platform. I really, really appreciate it, ana. Thank you. Coming up, today joe biden is a household name. After all he spent decades in politics. Well take you back to the 70s when biden was an underdog trying to make it to the u. S. Senate. Thats ebates. I get cash back on electronics, travel, clothes. Youre talking about ebates. I cant stop talking about rakuten. Pretty good deal peter sfx [blender] ebates is now rakuten, sign up today. Im a talking dog. The other issue. Oh. Im scratching like crazy. Youve got some allergic itch with skin inflammation. Apoquel can work on that itch in as little as 4 hours, whether its a new or chronic problem. And apoquels treated over 8 million dogs. Nice. And. The talking dog thing . Is it bothering you . No. Itching like a dog is bothering me. Until dogs can speak for themselves, you have to. When allergic itch is a problem, ask for apoquel. Apoquel is for the control of itch associated with allergic dermatitis and the control of Atopic Dermatitis in dogs. Do not use apoquel in dogs less than 12 months old or those with serious infections. Apoquel may increase the chance of developing serious infections and may cause existing parasitic skin infestations or preexisting cancers to worsen. Do not use in breeding, pregnant, or lactating dogs. Most common side effects are vomiting and diarrhea. Feeling better . Im speechless. Thanks for the apoquel. Aw. Thats what friends are for. Ask your veterinarian for apoquel next to you, apoquel is a dogs best friend. Long before he was running for president , joe biden launched a campaign that almost no one thought he could win. In a brandnew cnn special report, cnns Gloria Borger is taking a look back at that fateful senate rate of 1972. Its hard to remember a time when not many people had ever heard the name joe biden, but that was the case in 1972 when he decided to run for a senate seat in delaware. Reporter it was audacious, if not arrogant, for biden to run as a 29yearold underdog candidate of change against a wellliked republican senator named cale bogs. He had been governor of the state for two terms. He had been a member of congress for three terms and running for his third term in the United States senate. He was loved. He was loved. Reporter once again, biden asked valerie to run the show. I remember saying to him, i cant run a statewide campaign. I dont know how to do that. Reporter she reached out to a local Democratic Party activist ted coffman. I said youre running on civil rights, youre running on environment, youre running on tax reform and those are good issues. And there was silence. And i said, but i dont think you have a chance of winning. You said what . I dont think you have a chance on winning. And his reaction to that was . Just come and help me. Well see. Reporter biden was confident he could talk his way into voters hearts. But what coffman saw was bleak. On labor day we did a bigtime poll. You know what the number was . 47 for bogs, 19 for biden. Reporter it was the first year 18yearolds could go and young voters saw a candidate who was promising that he understands whats happening today. 50 years later, this time as a political elder trying to connect with young voters, its still his mantra. They had this funny feeling that cale bogs heart wasnt in it. And then we snuck up on him. Everybody expected no democrat to win and that was the truth. We won by 3,100 votes. Reporter and im sure biden has no intention of repeating that tight margin in november, ana. Thank you. And cnn brings you the stories of joe biden and donald trump in a backtoback documentary event starting tomorrow night at 8 00 here on cnn. Thanks so much for joining me. Im ana cabrera in new york.
