Transcripts For CNNW CNN Tonight With Don Lemon 20200922

They hate it when i say that but thats the way it is. Were rounding the corner on the pandemic. And weve done a phenomenal job. Not just a good job. A phenomenal job. On Public Relations i give myself a d. On the job itself we take an aplus. Thats actually not the way it is. People would love to be rounding the corner. Simply not the way it is. The president can say whatever he wants, but the u. S. Death toll from the pandemic is the highest in the world. The u. S. Accounts for 4 of the worlds population but 21 of all coronavirus deaths. That as President Trump meets with one of the jurists on his short list to replace Justice Ruth Bader ginsburg on the Supreme Court. Mitch mcconnell moving closer to locking in enough support to confirm trumps nominee before the election. Even though thats exactly what mcconnell deprived president barack obama of back in 2016. Eight months before the election. Well break down these stories and more in the hour ahead. I want to bring in now cnns senior political analyst Ron Brownstein and dr. Jonathan reiner, the director of the cardiac Catheterization Program at George Washington university hospital. Good evening, gentlemen. Thank you so much. Ron, im going to start with you. Nearly 200,000 americans have died from this virus. 200,000. But youve just heard the president. You just heard him. He still says that you know, it was an aplus, were rounding the corner. He seems to not grasp the magnitude of how horrific this moment is for our country. His denial of the magnitude of this from the very beginning is one of the key reasons why we are in this unimaginable situation. I think history will have no doubt. I think history will brand this as the single greatest failure of the federal government in its history. More than the intelligence failures before pearl harbor. More than the intelligence failures before 9 11. On february 26th the president said were down to 15 cases and in a few weeks it will be down to zero, thats a pretty good job we have done. His goal from the beginning has been to project normalcy at all costs. Hes exerted enormous pressure on republicans down the line, governors and so forth, to project normalcy at all costs, and that has prevented the u. S. From taking very common sense steps that might have mitigated this substantially. And now we are at a place that is unimaginable and theres no end in sight, don. Were still talking about 800 to 1,000 people dying a day before we move into the fall and deeper into the flu season as the doctor im sure can explain. Doctor, lets talk about that. 200,000 american lives lost. President trump says aplus on his pandemic response. If he actually told the American People what he knew about this virus, how many of those deaths could have been prevented . If he simply told the American People to mask up, or if he had simply allowed hhs and the Postal Service to fulfill their plan of sending 650 Million Masks, 5 Million Masks to every household in the United States, in the beginning of april, which was their plan, wed have maybe 40,000 deaths in this country. It would still be a really tough punch in the gut. But about 150,000, 160,000 more americans would be alive right now. Thats all we needed to do. Its so frustrating, don, because weve had the power to put this down from the very beginning. We still do. But for reasons that historians and psychiatrists will debate forever this man refused to embrace masks. Something as simple as masks. Forget about biologics and therapeutics and vaccines. Its this. This thing. A dollar. Wow. Listen, ohios Lieutenant Governor spoke to a crowd of Trump Supporters about wearing a mask at the president s rally earlier today. Heres how they responded. But if you go into a Grocery Store where youve got to wear one. All right . [ boos ] hang on. Hang on. Just listen up. Just listen up. All right. I get it. Ron, does this reaction explain why are we why we are where we are right now with this virus . A big part of it. As i said, another key part of it is that the pressure the president put on republican governors not to close down close down economies as late as possible and to open them up before the virus was nearly enough under control to justify that. The president has set a tone within his coalition of, you know, hostility to science and not only on this, by the way, on Climate Change as well. And the wildfires that we are living through. And that has in turn exerted pressure on republican officials at every level up and down kind of the chain of command, not to take this seriously. I think the psychological explanation of why hes doing this is he has believed from the beginning that he needs to project normalcy as quickly as possible in order to keep the economy humming, whatever the cost in Public Health. And at the beginning at least, don, you know, many republicans thought this was something that was happening in blue places. And still the heaviest costs in terms of mortality has been in the denser areas, which are overwhelmingly democratic at this point. But its now reached the point where every part of the country is affected by this. And the idea that this is some kind of blue state problem, as he said the other day, just is no longer supported by the actual experience. And there is i think a pretty broad verdict in the country at around 60 that he has mishandled this from the beginning. Dr. Reiner, the nfl weve learned fining three teams. The denver broncos, seattle seahawks, San Francisco 49ers. 250,000 each and their head coaches 100,000 each because those coaches did not wear face coverings on sunday. A League Source is telling cnn that they were warned about it a week ago. Is that what its going to take to get this message across to coaches and fans and really to everyone else, start fining people and start really taking some action . Well, finally some leadership. Finally an organization willing to show their fans, the people that put the money in their pockets, whats important. Imagine if our National Leadership did that. Imagine if everywhere the president went he gave out masks, he wore a mask proudly. I mean, hed be so far ahead in the polls now. Thats the really ironic thing. He thought that you had to pretend that this wasnt happening in order to get reelected. What he had to do was to pretend to be a leader. And to use the president s to use the president s parlance, when he was faced with maybe the greatest challenge that any american president has faced probably since the second world war, to use his parlance, he choked. And because he performed so poorly, by thanksgiving a quarter of a million americans are going to be dead. Now, i work in a hospital with the greatest people on this planet. And we all wear a mask here every day. Because we care about each other. And i want our leaders to project this notion to the country, that we need to care about each other. Yet he projected this selfish notion that he articulated very precisely, that this wasnt for him. He didnt see himself doing it. So why should his followers, you know, wear a mask . The president s not going to wear one. And that moronic stance will cost us a quarter of a million americans by thanksgiving. Thank you can i say yeah, quickly, please. Theres one other element. So much of the president s messaging is that elites are not really experts, they dont really know more than you do, they are just elitists who are trying to control your lives and they look down on you. And he applied that even to Public Health professionals in the midst of the worst pandemic in 100 years. Thousands of people have died as a result. And i think all americans who believe in science have to ask themselves, do they belong in the same coalition as a president who takes that posture toward medical expertise at a moment of such National Crisis . Thank you both. See you soon. I want to get a fact check in now. Of the day. Daniel dale is here. Daniel, good evening to you. Youve been Fact Checking President Trumps two speeches in ohio tonight. What stood out to you . Don, there was just so much again lying and deceiving. Im going to give you a partial list. This is very incomplete. The president said of the coronavirus, he said we know it affects elderly people, elderly people with heart problems and other problems. And he said if they have other problems thats what it really affects, thats it. Don, thats not it. Elderly people and people with preexisting conditions are those most likely to be severely affected by the virus but we know other people, younger people, people without conditions do gets very sick and they do indeed die. Trump repeated his lie that biden would destroy protections for people with preexisting conditions while he, trump, would preserve those protections. That is an up and down reversal of reality. Biden helped create those protections in obamacare which hes trying to protect. Trump is trying to get the entirety of obamacare overturned, eradicated in the courts. Trump claimed again that senator Kamala Harris during the primary called biden a racist. She did go after him on racerelated issues from his past but she began that part of the debate by saying i do not believe you are a racist. Trump suggested that biden wants prisoners, even the Boston Marathon bomber, to be able to vote from prison. That is not bidens position. That was a Bernie Sanders proposal biden rejected. He wants people to have their Voting Rights restored after they complete their felony sentences. Trump has said biden has vowed to ban charter schools. He has not. Trump said again china is playing trumps tariffs on china. No, its americans who are making those payments. Trump urged his ohio supporters to look out for what he said was guaranteed democratic cheating using unsolicited mail ballots. Aside from this baseless suggestion that democrats are going to engage in widespread cheating, ohio doesnt even have unsolicited mail ballots. You have to request a mail ballot in that state. Trump told a completely imaginary story which hes told before about pressuring the japanese Prime Minister to get japanese Car Companies to announce he said five Car Companies. To announce the next day u. S. Plants. That just didnt happen. Trump claimed again that before the iraq war he advised, he said dont go into the middle east. He did not say dont go into the middle east or iraq. In fact, he did not express any public opposition to the war before the invasion started. He expressed tentative support for the war in a september 2002 interview with radio host howard stern. Trump also repeated his usual fiction about obama and biden personally spying on his campaign. Thats nonsense. His usual nonsense about people involved in the russia investigation committing treason. Again, complete nonsense. He said he brought back 700,000 manufacturing jobs. Even before the pandemic it was 483,000, not 700. And now after the pandemic well, during the pandemic its a net loss of 237,000 jobs. He said he put coal miners back to work, revived the coal industry. The industry is still not doing well. Its been net loss of more than 5,000 coal jobs under trump before the pandemic it was a net gain of just 100. And don, he boasted again this one gets to me. He said they set a record, they set a record by creating more than 10 million jobs in four months. He doesnt mention that that 10 million gain immediately followed a loss of more than 22 million. So yes, a record if you just look at those four months, but if you look at those six months were still doing really badly. And you said that was a partial list . Seriously, i could add like six to ten more. Seriously. Oh, boy. Well, i think thats enough for now. Daniel, i appreciate it. Thank you so much. The u. S. Nearing 200,000 coronavirus deaths. More than two dozen states are now showing an increase in cases. Heres athena jones. We may be in for a very apocalyptic fall. Reporter as the u. S. Approaches another grim milestone, 200,000 lives lost to coronavirus, signs of a much feared fall surge in cases is already here. If you look whats happening around the country right now, theres an unmistakable spike in new infections. Reporter new covid19 cases topping 40,000 a day on average with new daily infections now rising in 28 states, up more than 50 in eight states. Wisconsin, idaho and south dakota all reporting covid test positive rates above 16 . This happening because were forcing schools to reopen in areas of high transmission, forcing colleges to reopen, and we dont have the leadership nationally telling people to wear masks and to social distance and do all the things we need to do. Reporter the startling trend coming as the cdc issues and then removed from its website new guidance showing just how contagious coronavirus is. The agency noting it can spread through the air in tiny droplets or aerosols. Not just when someone coughs, sneezes or talks but even when they simply breathe. Highlighting restaurants, fitness classes, and choir practice as risks. The agency later saying the new guidance was a draft posted in error. Its extremely confusing. And that type of whiplash, especially without an explanation directly from the cdc, creates confusion and unfortunately leads to lack of trust in the cdc overall. Meanwhile, on the vaccine front the white houses testing czar brett giroir arguing vaccine as early as soon as possible even in a few million doses will be a godsend in terms of outcomes, hospitalizations, morbidity and deaths. Reporter still bill gates warning of a long road ahead even after a vaccine is approved. If the vaccine approvals come by early next year as i expect then by next summer u. S. Will be starting to go back to normal and by the end of the year our activities can be fairly normal. If were also helping these other countries. The end of the epidemic, best case, is probably 2022. Reporter all this as the influential model from the university of washington now lowering its forecast for total u. S. Covid deaths by january 1st to just under 380,000. Down from more than 415,000 last week. Citing steeper than expected declines in deaths in several states. But the model still predicts more than 3,000 deaths a day by the end of december and says a universal mask mandate could keep total deaths to around 263,000 by new years day. Athena jones, cnn, new york. Athena, thank you so much. With the coronavirus raging, the battle over filling the seat of the late Justice Ruth Bader ginsburg is also heating up.

It will be a brilliant person. It will be a woman. It will be a woman. Were looking forward to it. Well probably announce it on saturday, maybe friday, but saturday. With the latest now cnn Congressional Correspondent phil mattingly, hes here to help us with this. Phil, good evening to you. Democratic hopefuls democrats, i should say, hope to find four republicans to block consideration of a new justice. They were dealt significant blows today. What is the latest on that . Don, theres no question about it. For democrats the reality is they cant block this nomination, this looming nomination, this confirmation process on their own. They simply dont have the numbers. They need at least four republicans to join them in deciding this nomination shouldnt move forward, this process shouldnt move forward or whoever the nominee is doesnt get the requisite number of votes. They have been looking for a group of republicans, perhaps two, three, four, five who would be willing to join them. As of now they have two. They have senator Lisa Murkowski and senator susan collins, both who said they dont believe a vote on a nomination should happen before the election. The next two, right now the hopes for those two seem to be disintegrating by the day. We had earlier today cory gardner, one of the moat most endangered republicans in the United States senate. Because of those politics some hoped from the democratic side he would join them in their cause on this. He came out saying he was going to support President Donald Trump and Senate Majority leader Mitch Mcconnell on moving forward. E chairman who was one of the leaders in blocking president obamas Supreme Court nominee at the time, he came out today and made clear he was going to support the president , support the Current Judiciary Committee chair and the Senate Majority leader Mitch Mcconnell. The reality is right now other than mitt romney who remains undecided, don, there are not a lot of other options for democrats. Majority leader Mitch Mcconnell and the president have quickly, quickly coalesced republicans around this effort right now, at least early in the process theyre on track for confirmation. Do the republicans fear a backlash to this . Are they nervous watching the money absolutely pour in for democratic opponents . Reporter yeah, its interesting. I was talking to a republican senator today. He said look, we see the money, we see the numbers, we see act blue, the democratic fundraising platform that had over 100 million in a 48hour period over the weekend. They see all of that. But theres a couple things at play here. One, they believe that their base will turn out, get excited much like they did in 2016 when there was an open seat, and politically that may help them. But i think you also have to look at it from the long game perspective which is Mitch Mcconnells specialty and the idea of moving this court to a 63 conservative court, moving it to a place that a decade or two decades ago most republicans never even thought was in the realm of possibility, if that results in maybe losing a few seats, a lot of republicans we talk to on capitol hill say its worth it, the backlash is worth it if we can kind of bring the change to the court in that regard. Theres no question about if, don, they see the money pouring in, they see the enthusiasm on the other side and they can just hope their side can try to match that. Mr. Mattingly, thank you very much.

S. Attorney harry litman and cnns senior political analyst mr. John avlon. Gentlemen, good to see both of you. John, you cannot overstate how much is at stake here. A potential fight over the election outcome. A womans right to choose. The Affordable Care act. Talk about the impact of another conservative justice. I mean, its almost incalculable. For conservatives this is the number one issue always. Its been the way theyve been able to excuse so much of what donald trump does that privately sickens their stomachs, because theyre getting judges. And for conservatives judges are a bulwark against demographic change that they dont agree with. So thats why theres this enormous focus. The 63 majority is enormous. It means donald trump would have three Supreme Court nominees in one term. As opposed to two during the eight years of obama, for example. Its seismic. It cannot be overstated. Thats why theyre willing to ignore all ethics or questions of honor. The lying has been normalized. Situational ethics have been weaponized. This is about the Supreme Court. And theyre basically saying nothing matters but the power. Harry, cnn confirmed that judge Amy Coney Barrett visit the white house today. Shes a dream nominee for religious conservatives. Is that what President Trump is looking for . I think so. She does check all the boxes. She is the one of the three in play that is the most within the profile of what hes tried to do. The most Federalist Society pick. Shes just the right age. She writes very well. Shes sophisticated. Shes assured. And she definitely reassures them on all the important issues, including in her couple years on the bench. Not just abortion, where she is likely to be the fifth vote to overturn roe v. Wade, but guns, religion, and a number of others. She has to be considered in the pole position at this point. So john, heres what you wrote over the weekend. You said, and i quote here, republicans have lost the popular vote in all but one of the last seven president ial elections but they have appointed four of the last six picks to the Supreme Court based on the support of gop senators who represent less than half of the American People. So you say the legitimacy of our institutions at stake now. Talk about that. Thats i think the larger concern. Its not just that republicans like chuck grassley, who was one of the folks democrats thought might stick to his guns, he said we cant have one rule for republican president s and another for democrats. Well, apparently you can. And the danger were seeing, this delegitimization of the majority of the American People. Conservatives will say look, were a republic, not a democracy, we do electoral college, not popular vote. But if republicans if the shoe were on the other foot and democrats had only won the popular vote once out of the last seven times but had appointed twice as many judges, republicans would be the first ones screaming for change. My concern is that this accelerates the delegitimization of distrust in our institutions. Its going to take our bitter political divides and make them more personal. And im very concerned this is going to lead to a kind of escalation of bitterness and resentment and power plays that really could degrade our democracy in the long run, but republicans are basically saying power over principle, well deal with all the rest of that later and demonize the opposition. Circumstances harry, some democrats are raising the possibility of Packing Court with additional justices in retaliation if they win back the white house and the senate. What could this fight do to the court as an institution . Well, first, we are as john says, its law of the jungle. That is a really extreme nuclear option. It failed miserably in fdrs years. But you hear a lot of democrats saying given everything thats happened thats where we have to go. What could it do . I think as john says it could delegitimize it and it could also of course invite retaliation when the shoe is on the other foot. But democrats now, after the complete hypocrisy from 2016, really feel that they would be justified in some kind of extreme reprisal of that nature. Gentlemen, thank you. I appreciate your time.

The president tonight at his Campaign Rally saying coronavirus affects virtually nobody. Incredible thing to say considering this country is nearing the grim milestone of nearly 200,000 coronavirus deaths. That terrible toll includes adeline fagan, a 28yearold obgyn resident living in houston. Her father, brant fagan, wrote an online journal to keep family and friends updated on her battle with coronavirus. Heres what he wrote on saturday, the day his daughter died. He said, if you can do one thing, be an adeline in the world. Be passionate about helping others less fortunate. Have a smile on your face, a laugh in your heart, and a disney tune on your lips. Joining me now is dr. Adeline fagans sisters, maureen and natalie fagan. Thank you so much. I appreciate both of you joining us. How are you doing . Were hanging in there. Its tough, though. We have a good support system here. And were hanging in there. Good. Im really sorry about the loss, your loss. Incredibly sorry. You shared an apartment with your sister. She contracted covid in early july, spent the past few weeks in icu. So maureen, walk us through what happened. I mean, adeline went to work early in july like a normal day with a happy smile. She was doing a shift in the e. R. But usually shes on the obgyn floors delivering babies. She went in happy, feeling well. And by the end of the evening it was like light a flip switched. It was like severe flu symptoms. And that evening we went home and i thought she should be tested. She tested positive. And that in itself was a shock. Just because you kind of dont think its going to happen to you. And after a week of quarantining at home she really wasnt doing well. I knew we needed more care. And thats when our stay in the hospital started and everything just went from there. And she was eventually put on the ventilator, the ecmo machines. And we really thought this past week that she was turning a corner. Our daily updates from the staff at her hospital, they were all great. The day before she actually passed away she ended up coming off all of the machines, the ventilator and the ecmo. We really thought she was going to be starting rehab. But that evening she became unresponsive and emergency ct showed that she had a massive brain bleed which like the passage my dad wrote, the doctors said it was a 1 in a million shot she would come out from that in any sort of state that we knew our adeline to be in. Oh, my gosh. I cant even imagine the strength that its taking you guys to be here and talk about this. And natalie one of the pictures i saw up there, natalie, was adeline with a birthday cake. And i would assume its your parents surrounding. Shes sitting in the middle. And natalie, today is your birthday. And im sorry this happened to you and youre talking to us right now. You have to miss her. What would you like to say about your sister . What do you want people to know about her . There are no words that can encompass who adeline was and the spirit that she had. I mean, she just had a way of making anyone feel special and heard and loved. And you know, today is my birthday. And i couldnt help but when i was blowing out my candles on my cake think god, i hope that i have the capability to make someone feel the way adeline made me feel for the last 20 years of my life. Im so lucky to have had her for the short amount of time that i did. All the other people that, you know, adeline cared for, her patients, her friends, her colleagues. Just the luckiest people to have gotten to know her. Again, im so sorry. Im looking at the pictures of adeline and your mom and your dad and you two. Such a beautiful, beautiful goodlooking family. And it looks like you guys are just so happy. You were raised right. And on and on and on. I dont have enough good things to say about it. But she was so young, maureen. 28 years old. I mean, this should not have happened. What would you say to folks who arent taking this seriously . Some people even calling it a hoax. And when people are asking them to wear masks theyre booing. What are you saying . I mean, you dont most people dont know adeline. But i would bet that they know an adeline. There is someone in your life that makes you feel like adeline makes us feel. And if you could do anything, which we see it as a simple thing of wearing a mask, social distancing, if you think its a hoax adeline passed away because of covid. This isnt a hoax. And if you can do something as simple as wearing a mask, social distancing so that maybe its not your adeline but your friends adeline, a Family Member, someone that you love is going through what were going through, which is devastating and heartbreaking. I just wish that people would realize that it may not be you directly affected but it could be someone you know, pass on the street, just see, you know, quickly. Someone and everyone is being affected by this. Did she have any Underlying Health issues . Adeline did have asthma. But i have asthma and i went to work too. And i even lived with her. And i didnt come down with it. So this is just a lesson that covid does not discriminate. Natalie, over 900 Health Care Workers in the u. S. Have died from coronavirus. What would you like to say on behalf of all the Health Care Workers who put their lives on the line for others every day as your sister did . I would just like to say from the bottom of my heart, and i know my family can second this, is thank you. You know, as someone who lost someone who worked on the front lines, i understand that sacrifice. And also as someone whose Family Member received care from those frontline workers, i mean, adeline, in her journey with covid, she was so close, she was so close. And it is the intense, intense care that the physicians, the nurses, all types of staff, respiratory therapists coming together to help these people, all while knowing that theyre putting their lives on the line. You cant even come up with a thank you big enough for that. Well, i thank you. And i thank adeline for what she did. And again, i am so sorry. But im so glad you guys are here to honor her and the whole world can get to learn about your sister. Thank you. Please be well. And give our regards to your family, your parents. Thanks. Thank you.
