So this morning the president is undermining and delegitimizing essentially the outcome of the elections saying, quote, the only way that he will lose this election is if its rigged. Cnn Sara Westwood is live from the white house for us now. So there have been at least weeks of attacks on mailin voting, his refusal to commit to a peaceful transition. Help us understand what he was doing last night. Reporter yeah, christi. Last night we heard the president continuing his efforts to undermine his supporters election results. Peddling the baseless claims that fraud could potentially tilt the outcome of the election. Theres no evidence for that that he provided. But this comes after a week in which the president stirred considerable controversy by refusing to commit to a peaceful transition of power should he lose the election on november 3rd. With the president at the rally last night said that he would agree to potentially a friendly transition of power only if he felt that he wasnt cheated. Thats the only way were going to lose is if theres mischief, mischief. It will have to be on a big scale. So be careful. And we do want a very friendly transition. But we dont want to be cheated and be stupid. Reporter now, at that rally in virginia the president was peddling baseless theories about fraud and mailin voting. No evidence of that. That came after days he seized on a department of justice that it had opened an investigation into nine improperly discarded ballots in pennsylvania. Some had been filled out for trump, but that disclosure raised allegations of playing politics at the doj it disclosed details of active investigation and violated ballot secrecy laws. The president and the white house tried to couch his remarks earlier by saying he would agree to a peaceful transition if the election was free and fair. Of course, the president last night was maintaining that he should be the one to get to dictate what is free and fair about the election and had suggested earlier this week that perhaps that would not be possible if mailin voting was so dramatically expanded. Separate appearance in atlanta yesterday, the president was also joking about clinging to his office for more than two terms. All right. Sarah westwood, we appreciate you being here. Thank you. Democratic president ial nominee joe biden is dismissing the president s latest attacks on the election process. Cnns ar let science is with us now. Arlet, its a distraction. Explain. Reporter yeah. Joe biden is arguing that the president is trying to distract from talking about issues like the economy and the Public Health crisis in the wake of covid19. He simply dismissed the president s comments saying that no one would go along with him if he did refuse to engage in a peaceful transfer of power or choose not to engage in that if he were not to win reelection. And biden also took aim criticized the president once again for casting doubt on the election, for questioning the integrity of mailin voting. Take a listen to what biden had to say in an interview with msnbc. The American People arent going to be shut down in this election. Theyre going to vote. Theyre going to vote in large numbers. And theres just not going to be denied. Im confident all the irresponsible outrageous attacks on voting we always have had. And hell leave. Reporter and bidens campaign has said that biden himself has engaged in a peaceful transfer of power when he served in the white house and left in 2016. Now, both biden and President Trump are preparing over the weekend for a critical first president ial debate in cleveland. The two of them engaging in their various forms of debate preparation as they prepare to face off against one another for the first time. Now, biden told reporters that he was going to start heavily focussing on his debate prep on thursday. Hes held some smaller briefing sessions and read through briefing books. Biden said he expects the president to go on the attack and that he expects those attacks to be personal. He said a lot of what the president says arent actually based in fact. And his campaign has said that biden is not necessarily going to act as a fact checker during this debate. They expect the moderator to engage in that on President Trumps part hes also been preparing slightly for this debate. Trying to study some of those possible lines of attack that could come from joe biden. A little bit later today well hear from joe biden when he speaks to a conference of mayor. One of his final appearances heading into that debate on tuesday. Yeah, should be fascinating to watch. Thank you so much. Good to see you. I want to show you now a live picture of the Supreme Court in washington. Today, the president is beginning his push to get a third justice on the court. And our next guest writes this no issue is more pivotal in considering a Supreme Court candidates view to when to overturn a case she considers wrongly decided. In a series of law article reviews, she would not hesitate to jettison decisions with which she disagrees. Ruth marcus, the write every for the Washington Post who wrote that is with us now as we await the president s, we believe, decision to nominate Amy Coney Barrett. Ruth, thank you so much for being with us. Appreciate your time here. Going back to what you wrote about those articles there, what is in the law reviews that you read that concerns you so much . Well, Justice Barrett im getting ahead of myself. Judge barrett has described herself as an originalist. So she wants to go to an understanding of the constitution like that of Justice Scalia who she clerked for. But if youre on originalist justice, but youre not willing to get rid of previously decided cases that you disagree with, then your originalism doesnt have a very big impact. And what she has said is that a justice who believes that a case was wrongly decided should be willing to look just at that and overturn the case. That has implications not just for abortion, which is the thing we mostly talk about when we talk about overturning cases like roe v. Wade, but it has implications for gay rights and same sex marriage. It has implications for affirmative action. It has implications for the kind of gender discrimination cases we have been talking about in the case of Justice Ginsburg who was such a pioneer in that area. It could be as i wrote in the Washington Post a bomb shell approach. Uhhuh. Well in 2017 in her confirmation hearing for her current position she was asked about another review, a 1998 marquette law review, she sited catholic idealogies specifically condemning abortion, as you talk about specificity here. But she said to that when she was asked ability, she said she didnt believe it was, quote, lawful for a judge to impose personal opinions from whatever source they derive upon the law and said her personal views regarding abortion and other issues, quote, would have no bearing on the discharge of her duties as a judge. This is not an infrequent argument that judges cant interject their personal opinions in the judicial area. Why do you find it unreasonable to believe that she would not follow her own words there . Well, i think that my analysis of judge barrett is going to be based on three things her academic writings and comments when she was a law professor, her decisions as an Appeals Court judge, and what she says in confirmation hearings. So im going to just take her at her word that shes going to do her best as justices do to try to separate out her personal views and her personal faith from her judicial understanding. But i think its very clear that her interpretation and approach to the constitution would not understand that it has a right to privacy that, for example, encompasses a womans right to abortion. I think that becomes very clear. Not looking at her faith as a catholic, but looking at her understanding of the constitution. All right. Ruth marcus, we appreciate you taking time for us today. Thank you, maam. Thanks so much. As the number of covid19 cases continues to surge in the u. S. , Florida Governor ron desantis is loosening restrictions on bars and hes even clearing the way for big crowds at next years super bowl.

You could expect the super bowl in tampa bay to go on without any major covid19 restrictions. Florida Governor Ron Desantis says his state will host, a full super bowl in february, im kwauting. After hes clearing restaurants and bars to immediately operate at 100 capacity as of today. We want to go to cnn correspondent randi kaye in palm beach county, florida right now. What details can you give us on florida phase 3 reopening . Reporter well, it was a big move by the governor certainly, christi. He said that phase 3 is under way immediately. That means that he lifted all restrictions on bars and restaurants and nightclubs throughout the state, basically reopening the state for business 100 . Restaurants can now be open up to 100 capacity. So fully open. Bars and nightclubs also under phase 3 can be open to 100 . Although they will have some limited social distancing protocols. But the governor says he wants to stop punishing people for not social distancing. Also, if the county does want to keep a restaurant open to between 50 and 100 capacity, theres nothing allowed that would be less than 50 . If they want to go less than 100 , they actually have to prove that and offer some justification for their reasoning as well. The governor did say that south florida, where we are in palm beach county, miami dade, the hardest hit counties there would be a different approach. Miami dade hasnt opened their bars. You cant expect them to go from 0 to 100 right away. Also it azfects these, these masks. The governor said the counties will no longer be able to fine people for not wearing their masks around in public or inside. Theres a lot of mandates you have to wear them inside as well. He basically did away with the mask mandate. This came as a real surprise to some of the local officials. The Orange County mayor, where orlando s Jerry Demmings said he learned about this from a bar owner. He didnt know that the governor was going to do this. Hes disappointed he said. Hell have his county attorney look at it. He also said his mask mandate will stay in place because they dont offer fines or they dont fine people for not wearing masks. As you mentioned, the super bowl, the governor says the threat has eased here. Hes confident we can have a super bowl here in florida many february. Listen to what he said about that. I also want to be able to show were going to be able to host a super bowl in february. We expect to do a full super bowl. And were going to show that were going to be able to do that. Reporter and the governor says that he believes the state is in a position to handle any increase in infections, if there is a spike. Now that were going to be open to 100 capacity. He also believes that he will not close the state at all. He said do not expect the state to close no matter what happens here with that spike. And i should point out that we now have about 700,000 cases of coronavirus here in the state of florida, about 14,000 dead, another 120 dead just yesterday. So, certainly the governor sees it as the threat has eased. But many here in the state of florida still taking precautions. Christi, martin . Randi kaye, thank you very much. Let me bring in now cnn medical analyst and former Baltimore Health commissioner, lena nguyen. Good morning to you. Good morning. Let me start by asking you, these actions by Governor Desantis in florida, florida has had a terrible time with this virus. It seems to be improving. But right at the point you make the improvement now comes this great relaxation. Im just wondering your professional thoughts on that. Frankly its irresponsible. Its not the direction we should be going right now. We should be looking at the highest risk setting and by now we have the science to show us that indoor bars, very crowded restaurants where people cannot social distance, these are really the highest risk transmission for coronavirus. We also know that mask wearing is something that if we all do it, it reduces the rate of transmission by 80 which is really substantial. It protects ourselves and those around us. We should be implementing these measures that work. And we should not be waiting until hospital rates and icus become overwhelmed before we start applying these Public Health measures. I think by dialing back these restrictions at this time, Governor Desantis is sending the wrong message. Hes sending the message that its all clear when actually coming into the winter months we should be on our guard, even more than before. And giving it does give this sort of sense to people that, oh well, its over. The worst is past. And i bring that up now because, of course, there was a lot of focus on a vaccine. And yet even as it appears we get closer and closer to the reality of not just one but maybe several vaccines, there is growing skepticism on the part of the public. In fact, recent polling has shown that the levels of peoples doubt in the medicine and in this vaccine has continued to increase. And im wondering whats your level of confidence in the vaccine . I have confidence in scientists. I have confidence in our top government institutions sha that have always done such an exceptional job of protecting the public and safeguarding our health and well being. The problem, though, is i dont have confidence that there isnt going to be political pressure and political manipulation that forces speed at the expense of safety and efficacy. And this is what were seeing in the polling data. We know there are individuals who are skeptical of vaccines at baseline who may be antiscience. But the people who are newly skeptical are not these individuals. Theyre people who really believe in science but they also are distrustful every time they hear President Trump, for example, linking vaccine approval to his election prospects. I think the best thing that can happen right now is for us to totally separate politics from the science and let the scientists who do this work day in and day out, let them have control over the vaccine approval process because in order for a vaccine to be taken, in order for us to see the effects of the vaccine, not only does it have to be safe and effective, it also has to be trusted. Its a vaccination that saves lives, not the development of the vaccine. There is a new study that came out this week that said that the coronavirus may have mu tated. And we know that viruses do routinely mutate. That its become even more contagious. Im wondering, what does that say, then, when we talk about a vaccine if it has the ability to change even after weve come up with one . Yeah. So the coronavirus is an rna virus. These rna viruses do mutate. The good news is that the new strains of the virus dont seem to be more severe. Its possible that theyre looking as if they could be more contagious, which is an issue especially because this is already such a silent spreader. It affects asymptomatic individuals transmitted through aresoles and so forth. It may be we need to develop vaccines that change over time as we do with the flu vaccine. So much remains unknown. We have to keep in mind that this is a novel coronavirus. And were finding out more about this everyday. But this is also why we need to keep up our guard. This is a highly contagious virus. Another study came out this week found that less than 10 of americans have antibodies to the virus. This virus has a long way to go before it stops infecting americans. Unfortunately killing people. Right. If anyone thought we were close to herd immunity that would go against that. Dr. Lena wen, thank you for being with us this morning. Thank you. So stay with us.

So, Michelle Obamas campaign to get out the vote just kicked off in atlanta. And like a lot of other events during the pandemic, its not very traditional in terms of voter registration. This is a drive when we say drive, we mean that in the real literal term. Yes, we do. Cnn National Correspondent natasha chen joins us with the details. Good morning, natasha. Reporter good morning, martin and christi. We saw about 40, 50 cars lined up outside of mercedesbenz stadium this morning before the event started the first person probably waiting there a whole hour because this is also a food drive. Now im standing here with Atlanta Mayor Keisha Lance Bottoms who visited with some of the people driving through this event. You talked to people who are both being asked if theyve registered to vote and people who need food and other donations. What are you hearing from them when you talk to them here . Well, this is a Great Initiative with so many great partners. This, of course, is one we all vote, Michelle Obama nonpartisan initiative. What were hearing from people really is gratitude. People grateful to get food but also an opportunity for them to fill out their census form and to register to vote. So, not many places that you can get all three in one. But, this is what 2020 is all about. Certainly we want people to register to vote. Theres nothing more important this year. Right behind that is the opportunity to fill out the census form to be counted. And during this pandemic and so much uncertainty across the country, its important that we remind people over and over again and then on top of that people just are in need this year. People need and appreciate the food that were giving out and were also giving out books to kids. Reporter yeah. I was seeing the bureau of labor statistics, the atlanta area for september is seeing Unemployment Rate of 8. 5 . A major jump from this time last year. What are you saying to people who are perhaps coming through to a food drive for the first time in their lives. What were saying to people is that we know that youre in need. This is what we do as a city. Were here to stand in the gap for people who are in need, but the end of the day we cant do it without important partnerships. So to have when we all vote and so many ore important partners to be a part of this is really who we are as a city, who we are as a community and an opportunity to give back and just to remind people that they arent alone and they arent forgotten. Reporter right. Its a shared experience for sure, that a lot of people are going through the same thing. Now, are you finding that some people are really not registered to vote yet . Do you find that a lot of people are getting that done today . There are some people who arent registered to vote and others who need to change their addresses, which is just as important. Because we dont want people to take the time to show up and vote and not have their votes counted. And with all thats going on in 2020, so much weighing so heavily on so many peoples hearts and minds, its really good that we can present all of this to people all in one. So giving them books. Giving them food. But also the opportunity again to register to vote, filling out the census form, so important this year. It is. And thank you so much for stopping to talk with us about this. As you said, definitely is a onestop shop for folks who are driving through here. We heard some anecdotes of people who needed to change their address. Anyone out there has moved, that needs to be updated for your voter registrations. Just wanted to remind everyone of that. Back to you. No problem. Natasha chen, thank you so much. Great information there. So the president of the United States is again casting doubt on whether hell accept the results of the upcoming election. Listen to this. Thats the only way were going to lose is if theres mischief. We do want a very friendly transition, but we dont want to be cheated and be stupid. Well go and do a transition. And we know that there were thousands and thousands of ballots that made the difference through cheating. Were not going to stand for it. Democratic strategist Robert Zimmerman and republican strategist Alice Stewart both with us. Good morning to both of you. Good to have you here. Hi, christi. Good to be you. Thank you. Alice, i want to get to some of the points the president is making. He said we want to make sure the election is honest. Im not sure it can be. September 23rd the ballots are a disaster. We have to get rid of the ballo ballots. The dems are trying to rig this election because thats the only way theyre going to win. If the election is rigged, what does that mean for him if he wins . This is a president who has been obsessed with legitimizing his presidency from the time that he talked in 2016 about the number of people that came to his inauguration from the popular vote versus the electoral vote. He wants to be legitimate president. How is he one if this election is rigged in any way . Well, when he win im sure hell take the biggest and most beautiful victory lap we have seen on the face of the earth. Its also important to remind people another thing he did say last night at the rally was that he does support a, quote, beautiful transition as long as theres an honest vote. Look, i will be the first one to say that the integrity and the trust and faith the American People have in our election system is paramount. We all deserve the right for fair elections. Any questions about the integrity of our elections i think is inappropriate. And really not helpful to the process. So, i wish that this kind of talk would stop and move forward to turning out the vote. I am encouraged that we saw Mitch Mcconnell come out and say the Senate Republicans and members across the republican are committed to a peaceful transition of power. They are committed to a peaceful transfer of power. The more we can put emphasis on that and driving people out and not discouraging people from the process i think is a step in the right direction. No, its not. Christi, until we see Republican Leaders and congress and Republican Leaders around the country and in fact, youre, alice, make it clear that unless donald trump makes a complete commitment to the full transfer of power and the peaceful transfer of power, he is betraying the very principles of our country. The Republican Leadership never took on donald trump over this issue. Kaylee mack enenny and his supporters created various scenarios why there wouldnt be a peaceful transition of power. That is the real election. This election is rigged, its because donald trump is trying to rig it through the Supreme Court by trying to block people from voting, by trying to disqualify legal mailin ballots because he cant win a fair contest. But the bigger point here and the most important point is Donald Trumps failure to call for a full and complete peaceful transition of power betrays the principles of our country and republicans have an obligation to call him out on it and rise above partisanship and put constitution and democracy first. You mentioned the Supreme Court, robert. Alice, we have word that Amy Coney Barrett was actually the only candidate that was even formally interviewed by the president. Do you see any reason that might be problematic . No, christi. That makes sense given she has been vetted before and she has been on his short list for Supreme Court nominees for many years. And she is someone that not just this president but a lot of his base has support and faith in. And a bipartisan support got her to the judgeship that she is in right now. I think its important that they proceed without delay on this. There are four reasons. They have the constitutional obligation to do so. And the senate and in this administration. They also have historical precedent given the timeline this can be done. Many have been done in a much shorter time frame as well as voters voted republicans to control the senate. When obama was president and now. With republicans in control they can do this. Also democrats shot themselves in the foot back in 2013 when they did away with the filibuster on this issue and really shot down any opportunities to have further debate on this. So there are many reasons and much precedent down in place set in stone as to why we need to go forward. She is a very solid judge. She would be a great justice to replace Justice Ginsburg and i see no reason to delay it. Robert . Christi, i have to ask alice. Where was that constitutional obligation when president obama nominated merrick garland. Of course the republicans said it would be inappropriate. It was too close to a president ial election. Lets understand judge cony is not being chosen. This judge is not being chosen she was selected from star search. She is being chosen by donald trump and mike pence because they want to fill that Supreme Court because theyre going to be election challenges coming up and they want to make sure they have a vote thats going to rig the court in their favor. This is a tragic move if they nominate if they fill this position right before the election. Because it, in fact, compromises the integrity of the court and this judicial nominee should, in fact, recuse herself from any discussions about the president ial election because shes being nominated for the purpose of helping Donald Trumps reelection. Well, here is the thing youre mirroring a lot of what all the democrats say. They said that Brett Kavanaugh was too immoral. Judge barrett is too moral. Theres no goldie lock Supreme Court nominee that President Trump can put forward that democrats would embrace. So, she is but there are rules and there are ethics. And no need to delay. There are rules and there are ethics in our judicial standards. Nominating judge barrett to fill the court in this urgent rush that donald trump is doing. Hes very clear about it. Hes doing it to fill the court because there will be election challenges coming before the Supreme Court. He has a personal motivation robert, let me ask you a question. If you think roles were reversed would democrats be doing anything differently . Absolutely not. I mean, lets be very clear about this. First of all, a judicial nominee would they would follow the Abraham Lincoln rule of not filling the position right before an election which is what Abraham Lincoln did. He waited until the next election. And secondly, obviously the judicial nominee would have to recuse themselves from ruling on the what could personally benefit the person nominating her. In this case, judge barrett is being nominated by donald trump. And he expects her to vote with him on Court Challenges in front of the Supreme Court. It is a great conflict of interest. Im sorry we ran out of time. We appreciate you both being here. Thank you, both. Thank you so much. Thank you, christi.

Demonstrators demanded justice for the shooting death of Breonna Taylor back in march, but police did use flashbangs, as you heard there, when there was a group that refused to move on to the sidewalk. About two dozen people were arrested. On wednesday, a grand jury decided not to directly charge any officers in taylors death. Her supporters want the transcripts of those proceedings of the grand jury made public. Cnns crime and justice reporter shimone is with us now. Is there any chance you heard this morning since youre there louisville, is there any chance those transcripts will be released . Reporter there is that chance. Its ultimately going to be up to the attorney general and probably a Legal Process where supporters, perhaps her family, reporters will need to sue to get that information released. Some of it will be released because they did indictment that one detective. So because of that, his lawyers will get that information. And then its a question of whether or not the public can get their hands on that. And the reason why that is so important, that information, is because the family and certainly the people out here who have now been demonstrating for weeks and weeks and have picked up some of those demonstrations because they want to know, they want to see inside that grand jury. They want to know if any evidence was presented relating to Breonna Taylor. Whether or not her killing was part of the grand jury. Whether or not they ever considered what happened to her as part of the charges that they wound upbringing on that one detective. Remember, that detective was charged with basically recklessly firing his weapon into her neighbors apartment. Nothing related to Breonna Taylor. That is why so many of the supporters and her family are so upset. They wanted manslaughter charges. They did not get that. So theyre going to continue. They say theyre going to be here for days, weeks, as long as it needs to take for them to see inside that grand jury. Yeah. I think there are a lot of people who want to see just exactly how this case was explained to the grand jury. Thank you for joining us this morning. Reporter sure.

Vote no on prop. 15. All this morning we have been bringing you good news stories. This time on champions for change we travel to one small town in kentucky where opioid addiction is a major problem. Now two men are using the power of music to help people turn their lives around and overcome addiction. Theres a lot of beauty in southeastern kentucky. We h saying around here that every holler is a home to someones weary soul. Troublesome creek got its name for the most obvious of reasons. In rainy times it tears out bridges and roads when it gets really, really angry. Well, its a pretty good metaphor the downturn of the coal industry taking away all the good jobs and, of course, the opioid epidemic. I am a master looutry. Luthrie is the art of stringed instrument making. Its considered to be the birthplace of the mountain. When i first came down to establish the Appalachian School of luthrie in 2012, then came earl. When i did my first oxycontin, i thought it would ease the pain and make it easier for me. The pain from failure, not believing in myself, i was in jail for nine months. Went through five different drug treatment facilities. I had a love for wood work. I knew i had a love for guitars. He said i need you to teach me how to make guitars. I said, well, thats no problem. Thats what we do. He said, no, you dont understand. I need to come and do this. I was probably headed for death that time. How many more chances do you get in life . There was some discussion about the wisdom of bringing people of addiction into our studios. Hes like, were going to give you a chance. Dont let us down. What was supposed to be a one year artisan residence turned into a sixyear relationship. I built over 70 instruments at this point. Art releases something deep inside of you you dont know you have. And woodworking i was able to see the flaws but turn them into features. I grew in self confidence. Im still sober eight years later. We actually took our experience with earl and using that as a spring line. The staff of the Appalachian Artisan Center created the culture of Recovery Program which is designed to host people in recovery in our studios, our black smith, pottery and lutherie studios. We dont do the difficult work that the Recovery Centers do. We dont take people in who need to go through detox. They do that. And heroically. What we do is we set people into our studios when theyve phased into a place where thats useful to them. Ive never really completed anything before in my life. And its actually turned out to be a pretty nice piece of artwork. With my drug Court Clients that participate in the program, the recidivism rate is very low, i would consider it to be 10 or less. Theyre learning skills. Theyre learning patience. Theyre building relationships. And theyre going to have a finished product in their hand. Troublesome creek Stringed Instrument Program is an extension of our school that allows us to bring people from the Recovery Community into fulltime employment. My life today is bigger than i ever dreamed imaginable. I went back and got a masters degrees in network security. From a addict to director of information technology. So today i get to work with addicts. Its amazing to see peoples lives change. Doug believed in me. He was able to show me a lot of things i couldnt see in myself. I feel like god put doug in this town. Be sure to watch champions for change tonight at 10 00 p. M. Eastern right here on cnn. I love that line that he used. See the flaws and turn them into features. Yeah. Isnt that awesome. And the other thing that struck me is something i think we all realize, sometimes all you need is somebody to believe in you. Yeah.
