That projection . If i did not close up our country. If i did not stop china highly infected from coming and europe far sooner than anybody else, including dr. Fauci and others wanted to. Dr. Fauci was nice. He said President Trump made a great decision. We would have far more than that. Maybe more importantly if i did not close up we would have instead of the number you mentioned, about 180. We would have perhaps 1 1 2 to 2 Million Deaths right now if i went a different direction. I decided to not do it. We would have it Million Deaths. A lot of countries dont report their deaths. China is not reporting. China had far more deaths than we did in my opinion. They dont report their deaths. I dont want to embarrass other countries. But other countries the death toll is far higher than the United States but they dont report deaths. We report to a level that nobody reports it. We also do testing. Cases. I watch your broadcasts and i read your information and Media Outlets very, very carefully and i look at the word cases. I say it 100 times. Nobody wants to pick it up. We do testing at a level nobody dreamed possible. We have the best and the most tests. India, they are number two. They have done a good job. They are about 40 million tests behind us and a country of 1. 5 billion people. Because of all of the tests we have far more cases. If we cut our cases in half. If we cut the testing in half we would have half the number of cases. There are some countries that dont test. They test when someone walks into the hospital. They are sick. That is your test. We have tested more and better and you can see where we now have millions of tests coming in from a Certain Company that has done a fantastic job and it will be 5 to 15 minutes on the spot, very accurate test. If we had much less testing or no testing you would not be reporting cases. I dont want to go over the statistic. You wrote it down. You can see how we are doing compared to the rest of the world and out in new york with the amount of people that died. Reporter it is still a part of the United States, new york is. New york in particular, and i appreciated the Governor Cuomo saying i have done a phenomenal job. He said bad things too. If you took out new york from those numbers, you can multiply our tremendous success by a lot. But look, the bottom line is that the job that we have done on covid19, the china virus. China plague. Call it whatever you want. It has been incredible. We also helped a lot of other countries, especially with ventilators. Now we build ventilators at a level nobody ever thought possible. If we didnt do what i said we would be at 2 Million Deaths. I had a choice to make. If we made the wrong choice, the number you have which is less than other countries. The other countries dont report deaths. They are not accurate. You know that and so do i. You take a look at some of the things happening in certain other very large countries. First of all, we are a very large country. You look at things happening with the respect to reporting of deaths in other countries. I say give me a break. It has been amazing. But we made some moves at the beginning. China, big. Europe, big. The biggest of all was closing it down. Understanding the disease, and we did. Now we know it is especially elderly if they have heart, diabetes and they have problems. We are watching it very closely and we are doing super testing with respect to that. Super testing. If we did it a different way instead of the number you said. The number we are at now is approximately 180,000. We would be at 2 Million People or higher than that. Reporter we have our vaccine. Our vaccine, i think it is going to be the standard. These companies are incredible. They have come up with great vaccines over the years. That is the vaccine that probably most of the people in this room will want to take. Quick clarification on my question. The 300 billion is that from the main Street Lending program . It is sitting in an account. It hasnt been spent. We are willing to spend it. I would like to get approval from congress. There is a theory i dont have to do that but i would like to be up front and let it go directly to the people. It is more stimulus than we are asking for in terms of pure stimulus. I would not have to let prisoners go, very evil prisoners go. Think of it, the democrats, in order to get what they want and in order to give us what we want, they are talking about allowing prisoners to be released. Prisoners we dont want to be released. So in order that we get money to the american people, they want to say release prisoners and other things like that, that are very bad. We cant do that. We dont want to do that. I know you spoke earlier about the Atlanta Story and we referenced a number of officials that came out. We have 11 people. I was just told we have 11 people. There is nobody that feels more strongly about our soldiers, our wounded warriors, our soldiers that died in war than i do. It is a hoax. Just like want fake dossier was a hoax. Just like the russia, russia, russia was a total hoax. Just like a total collusion. It is a hoax. You will hear more of these things, totally unrelated as we get closer and closer to election. The magazine is a failing magazine. Nobody called me. Nobody called me from the magazine to say do you have a comment about it. They write whatever you want to write. They figure they cant get sued. It is very hard but we have many witnesses. It is a total and a continuation of the witch hunt so that it can affect the election. Whether it is the fake dossier that turned out to be a total fraud or so many other things have turned out. I have been under investigation since before i have been elected. These people have gone after me more than any other president in the history of the United States, and it is a shame. Despite that we have done more in the first three and a half years than any other administration. No administration has done more. Despite all of the horrible political games that have been played. But there is nobody that has been able to do what i have done. And that includes the Great Mission act. Because what obama passed was a joke. It was a joke. And we took it to a level that nobody thought possible. That includes accountability. It is a disgrace that somebody is allowed to write things like that. A lot of the time sources are not sources that dont exist. Sometimes they are people that are disgruntled former socalled employees. The notable voice that has been missing is your former chief of staff who was involved in this. How are we supposed to react to that. I know john kelly. Didnt do a good job and he was exhausted. This man was totally exhausted. He wasnt even able to function in the last number of months. He was sort of a tough guy. But the time he got eaten up in this world. It is a different world than he is used to. He was unable to function. I said john you have to go. Please give me a letter of resignation and he did that. There are people that are jealous and upset they are not here anymore. We have done an incredible job. I dont know that it was him. I see anonymous but it could have been a guy like a john kelly. He was a very you look at some of his news conferences. He was unable to handle the pressure of this job. This job was a tough job. Mark meadows is doing a great job but kelly was unable to do that. As fares that day, i mean we have so much proof. I went to paris. All set to go. They had the rainstorm the likes you rarely see. The fog was so great, it is as dense as i ever have seen. I almost knew you couldnt use the helicopter. I guess they had to drive through certain parts of paris, the secret service, and we have people here that were on the trip. They are writing a report. Unable to even think about it. I said i want to go. I insist on going. It would have taken us forever. Paris police said please dont do this. And it just was not a possible situation. Helicopter would have been very quick. They had it set but it could never fly in that kind of weather. And that is all documented by the way. We have all of the information and probably will release that information. But i think it is a shame when a second rate magazine. I dont read it. When a second rate magazine can write things like that about somebody that has done so much for the military, can write things like that and get away with it where you actually ask questions on it. You should be ashamed of yourself. I watched the interview with sleepy joe biden. He didnt ask questions. Read the questions. They were like meant for a child. Those questions were meant for a child. Smiles on faces of reporters. Not like you and you. There were smiles on the reporters faces. Take a look at the questions they asked him. They were not meant for a grown up. They were meant for a child. I just want to tell you that it is a disgrace. You look at what i have done for the United States military. I have gotten them pay raise tws and i rebuilt 2. 5 trillion and rebuilt the United States military and now we are including space force. Nobody has done more for them. When i have to have a report read like that from a third rate magazine that is not going to be in business much longer. It is a disgrace. I watch biden getting asked questions that are really meant for a child to answer. Anybody could answer. And i look at the level of question you people ask. It is disgraceful. I want to thank you all very much. We appreciate it. We are doing very well. We are very, very proud of what has happened with respect to the economy, and i think that before the election you are going to see a Third Quarter announced that will be at a level our country has never seen before. Next year we are going to have a year that was better than last year and i feel certain that it will be better than last year. It will be the greatest year we have had. And the whole reason it is working out this way is because we set a foundation for this country like we have never had before. So next year will be a fantastic year. Remember, the Third Quarter was going to be announced prior to the election by a few days and i think it will be recordsetting type numbers on gdp and others. That was the president there angerly denying the report in the atlantic that he referred to wounded and dead u. S. Service members as losers and suckers and seemed to be saying john kelly was one of the sources in the article and referred to general kelly as someone exhausted by the time he finished in his role as chief of staff at the white house and didnt do a good job according to the president. We will see if general kelly speaks about all of this. First let me go over to Caitlyn Collins at the white house. The president was fired up about that atlantic article. Yes, he was. What he said about john kelly was notable. The way he talked about him as he left his chief of staff job. He is a retired fourstar marine general, went to combat. The president was saying he couldnt handle the chief of staff position and that he was exhausted by the time he left the job and the president going off on john kelly saying he doesnt know if he were the source of the story but it could have been a john kellytype figure. As you saw there he was asked by bloomberg why had john kelly had been one of the officials that hasnt come out to say anything about the story. There was a story about the president going with john kelly to arlington cemetery. A comment that the president made there. It will be interesting to see if john kelly does respond to the president. We have seen him speaking out privately. But something i want to note is that this is the first time the president has been asked about the poisoning of the russian opposition figure. The president said he hasnt seen the evidence to say he was poisoned and that comes after yesterday germany and other nato allies said they determined it was a soviet style nerve agent he has been poisoned with. The nato general secretary said proof beyond a doubt that he was poisoned. Instead of the president saying they would condemn russia but said he would be angry but very cautious and said he wants to see evidence and chastised reporters for asking about russia and not asking about china. Another muted response from the president on an act of russian aggression here going after one of its own. One of its own. Gloria, what stood out to you . Just to follow up, obviously the way that he took after his former chief of staff john kelly. Calling the atlantic piece a hoax. Theying that we have 11 people. I guess they are putting together some kind of a dossier, some kind of proof that what the magazine is saying and what the magazine wrote has been confirmed by other news organizations saying this is not true. The president portraying himself as the victim here. Again, taking after kelly and disparaging him, saying that he did not do a good job and that he wasnt able to function. He said that kelly got eaten alive and he went on and on about that and he couldnt seem to get away from the personal in that sense without coming out and defending himself on other terms. You know, he said he helped the veterans, et cetera. He went and he turned on joe biden saying i watched the interviews today and you threw him softballs effectively, questions that were not meant for a grown up. I am not sure what he meant by that. But again, you know, seems very angry about this. And i dont know who else other than john kelly that he believes was the source for this, unless he believes the sources were manufactured which they were not. And brian, it was like he was giving you a plug during the news conference, referring to the atlantic magazine story as a hoax and saying it was just like the russia investigation and so on. He uses the word hoax in order to shut down conversations but thankfully the press is asking statements. He says the atlantic is a third rate magazine that is not going to be in business much longer. That is factual untrue, the financials are stable and jeffrey is one of the most respected journalists in washington. All of that will be factored in when he has a lot of credibility and trump does not. It is notable that fox news has matched some of the reporting that the atlantic has had. Foxs Jennifer Griffin reported that yes, the president did disparage veterans and didnt want to drive to the cemetery that day in france. They are going to run away from the story on the own network but fox hads it own reporting to back it up. This is one of the time when foxs reporting is important. Jim, i think it puts more pressure on the Anonymous Sources to come forward and think about whether or not they can put their names to the quotes. Let see if john kelly confirms or denies. What stood out to you . There is a lot to fact check there. I didnt want to see a live picture of you listening to that. As a fact checker, that was tough. Always is with the president , jim. The president said convalescent plasma is having a tremendous impact. As dr. Fauci and others have said we do not have conclusive proof that is actually effective. The jury is very much still out. We do not have the proof of the poisoning of the russian opposition figure, the nato secretary said we have proof beyond a doubt. Trump said joe biden wants to shut the down and has a plan for a blanket shutdown. Biden hasnt said he wants to or that he has a plan. He said that if there is a future crisis and if the Scientists Say to shut it down there, he would shut it down. He said we look good in terms of coronavirus numbers if we left aside new york. We would still have more than 150,000 deaths. One stitch of progress, because it is rare we see progress. The president lied more than 150 times he is the one that got the Veterans Choice Health Care passed. Today in the briefing he amended the claim for the First Time Ever and said he got the v. A. Mission act sign, a act that amended the program. A hint of progress but it is something. Shows he is watching, daniel. We appreciate that, all of you. I want to get straight to dr. Anthony fauci joining us now. Dr. Fauci, thank you so much for joining us. Before i get to the questions that we wanted to talk to you about, i have to ask you because the president has been mentioning this. I know you dont like to be put side by side in terms of what the president says but that we are rounding the corner in terms of the coronavirus. What do you make of that characterization . I am not sure what he means. Certain states that are actually doing well in the sense that the case numbers are coming down. Our concern is that there are a number of states like the dakotas, montana, michigan, minnesota and others who are starting to have an uptick in positive of testing. We want to be sure in the vulnerable states that are starting to show an uptick that we abide by the Public Health mandate and rules that we are talking about all the time and not in essence have the same type of surges that we have seen following other holiday weekends like the fourth of july and memorial day. We really want to Pay Attention to that and hopefully people, particularly the younger people will Pay Attention to things like wearing a mask. Avoiding close contact. Avoiding crowds. Doing whatever that you can possibly do outdoors as opposed to indoors. If we do that we should get through the weekend okay. That is absolutely critical. We are now seven months into the crisis as you know too well. I want to play for the viewers what you said in the early stages of this in march. Looking at what we are seeing now, i would say 100,000 to 200,000 case but i dont want to be held to that because excuse me, deaths. We will have millions of cases. Back in march, 200,000 deaths was almost unimaginable and now the cdc expects to surpass that number in the next few weeks if the United States continues on this current track. What will the next six or seven months look like . It sounds nightmarish . Pierre it is disturbing, jim, as i said to you and others on the show multiple times we have to get our baseline back to a much lower level. We are hovering around 40,000 cases per day. We were hanging around 20,000 for several weeks in a row and then we had the surge in the southern states, florida, texas, california, arizona and went up to 70,000. Down now to 40. If you go to a low baseline and get cases that occur you can handle them and get good identification isolation and contact tracing. When you have Community Spread it makes it that much more difficult. I keep saying over and over that we have to be careful as we enter this holiday weekend. Absolutely. The president now repeated that if we had much less or no testing you would not be reporting cases. That you talked to him about this . Does he not understand if you dont test the cases still exist . You know i have not specifically spoken to the president about that. But i think it is very clear in the white house how i feel and how people like dr. Birx feels. It is really important to do the types of testing we are talking about. These are indeed new cases. The reason we know that, when you have the increase in cases it is followed by increase in hospitalization and increase in deaths. That is the real bottom line. The critical issue is the percent positives of the tests that you do and we are starting to see an uptick in that in certain areas. That is where we call out to the governors and leaders of the states to Pay Attention because it can be a predictor of surges we try to avoid. Dr. Fauci, i want to ask you about the model by the university of washington. This new model estimates the u. S. Death toll could surpass 400,000 by january 2021. That is a stunning number. The researchers behind the model say they are seeing declining mask use. Is that what you are seeing . What do you make of that estimate . You have to be careful of models. The model got that high, 410,000 by january. That is taking in the factor that as we get in to the fall and to the winter there will be a lot more indoor activity opposed to outdoor activity. If you combine it with the lack of uniform utilization of masks, then you can start to really get in to trouble. That is why we say right now outdoor is better than indoor. When you get into the cold of the late fall and early winter sometimes it is impossible. If you are going to do it indoors you really need to wear a mask. That model, you know, if we dont have very, very strong pronounced utilization of masks, almost uniformly, you can get into the same trouble we are predicting. Namely a considerable amount of cases. In this case we are talking about 410,000 deaths, which i surely hope we dont even approach that. Do you think that it is possible . Of course it is possible. You know, we have done these dances as it were with the models back and forth. You pull out the assumption, another thing happened. The models are youthful because if you do a lot of indoor activity and dont utilize masks to the utmost you will likely get to the number. We can mitigate. That models are good to give you an idea of what you can expect. To me it is a good heads up saying we dont want to get to that number. So what are we going to do to prevent us from getting to that number . It may be a nudge for us to realize that we can do something to stop that. One of the things that we can do, as you mentioned, a more uniform utilization of masks. Numerous sources are telling us that the president is ramping up pressure on Health Officials to deliver good news on the vaccine front ahead of the election. President trump said we will probably have the vaccine sometime in october. The head of operation warp speed said he would resign if he saw undue interference in the process. Would you do the same . I am not a regulator. I just do the science. I report the science in an accurate way. Certainly if i saw interference i would be very disturbed and i would call it out. I am assuming we will not get any interference. A lot of what we are talking about is transparency. When the data comes in on the vaccine results, you know, they come in to the data and the safety monitoring board, an independent group of people who evaluate the data and the safety of it and report on this. This ultimately becomes Public Knowledge anyway. I have faith in the system that the fda will do what they promise. They promise they make decisions on a regulatory basis purely on the basis of the science and the evidence. I am counting on them to do that. We have now seen data on russias vaccine that produced an immune response and only mild sideeffects. You said you seriously doubt russia produced a safe vaccine. Do you still have doubts after seeing the new data . No. I think we need to remove the confusion about this. The thing that concerns me and others when they said that they have a vaccine they will be giving to a whole bunch of people. I said first you better prove that it is safe and effective before you make a decision to distribute the vaccine widely. What the russians have done is a correct thing. They did a twopart phase 1 study in 40 people. They found it was safe and induced a reasonable immune response. I congratulate themmol th on th. That is what they should be doing. I really hope they have a vaccine that works. We need as many that we can get into the system. Absolutely. I want to ask you about the Health Effects of evictions. I dont know if you have seen this story but one of our colleagues at cnn did a moving report on a family with two young kids being evicted and older woman that was going to be put out on the street. What are the possible Health Effects of evictions during the middle of a pandemic . It is not something we talked about enough. Any disruptionings of a persons life could be connected to Public Health. When you evict somebody, we know how vulnerable the homeless are to so many things like Covid Infection of the coronavirus. We dont want to see a lot of people that wouldnt have been homeless now to be homeless. What activities would you give your stamp of approval to if i need dr. Faucis blessing on the activity. What activity would it be. Outdoor barbecues, hiking. It would be outdoors. Go out on a trail. Breathe the fresh air. Enjoy the warm weather. If you are going to be on the beach, beaches are fine. As long as you try to get distance between yourself and others. People can easily separate yourself from others. Just try to do outdoor activities. Dont make it a large crowd. A couple of friends that you are connected with, good friends, you have a barbecue, you do the things that you want to do. Stay outside. Do the things where if you are going to be close to people that you cant keep distance. Wear a mask. Wash your hands frequently. You know, do things outdoors. We are fortunate that we are still in a season where we can enjoy things outdoors. This would be a good weekend for everyone without putting yourself into the danger of acquiring or transmitting infection. How would you be spending the Labor Day Weekend . I will be working unfortunately, jim. I have a bunch of work i need to do. But i am going to go on a long hike with my wife. I enjoy that very much and i might go down to the canal and maybe put a fishing line into the water and see what i can catch. How is your health . You recently had surgery on the vocal chords. I can tell the difference. Are you feeling better now . I feel great. I got a couple of emails from people saying they heard me on the radio or tv and couldnt believe it was me because i dont sound like vito corleon anymore i sound like anthony fauci. I know how personal life is going and how your family is dealing with all of this. There have been rough moments along the way. How are things going now for you and your family . I am doing fine, jim. I have a great family. My wife is amazing. My children are very strong. The things havent gotten better with regard to the hassles from the far extreme people that make threats both to me, family, wife and daughters. I dont mind them doing it to me. I dont care. But i dont like to see my wife and children being hassled. But that is a nature of the society. Part of the facts of life, unfortunate but part of the facts of life. You cant work all the time, dr. Fauci. We know you like to work but you cant do it around the clock or it catches up with you as we all know. We appreciate you hanging in there. There was other news developing during the first part of the hour. Dr. Fauci, thank you so much for joining us. Hope you stay safe as well. We appreciate it. Yeah. You too jim. Thank you for having me. I appreciate it. You too. Coming up, a former defense secretary joins me. I will get his reaction to President Trumps insulting comments. I was sworn into the United States senate in a hospital. My wife and daughter had been killed in an automobile crash, and lying in the bed were my two little boys. I couldnt have imagined what it wouldve been like if i didnt have insurance to cover them immediately and fully. Forty years later, one of those little boys, my son beau, was diagnosed with terminal cancer, given months to live. I cant fathom what would have happened if the Insurance Companies had the power to say, the last few months, youre on your own. The fact of the matter is health care is personal to me. Obamacare is personal to me. When i see the president of the United States try to eliminate this health care in the middle of a Public Health crisis, thats personal to me too. Weve got to build on what we did because every american deserves Affordable Health care. Im joe biden and i approve this message. Hes come deserves Affordable Health care.

Tonight more fall out about a truly stunning report about President Trumps apparent disdain for fallen american troops. For more i want to bring in the former defense secretary chuck hagel. Thank you so much for joining us. We appreciate it. I want to get your treereaction the reporting in the atlantic that President Trump called fallen troops losers and suckers and dispare aaged wounded veter. You saw what the president said about the former chief of staff, retired general, john kelly. Seemed to say he didnt do a good job. He was exhausted on the way out. Sort of mocked his reputation as being a tough guy and so on. What did you think of that . Jim, thank you for having me. I did see it. It was disgusting. If this wasnt so serious, if this wasnt coming from the commander in chief of the United States of new york say this about a fourstar general, he and his family committed their lives to this country. Given a son to this country in battle. To say that is degrading and despicable and there is no defense of it. There is no defense of what he has said about general kelly. I worked with general kelly as secretary of defense. No more honorable man than john kelly. No more of a patriot committed to this country than john kelly. So, do you believe what the atlantic is reporting about the president s comments about fallen troops being losers and suckers and so on . Well, jim, like all things i have to refer back to what the president himself has said to validate what the article said. Starting with what he said about john mccain over the years. He was given the chance to rescind the statements today, a few minutes ago and he wouldnt. The issue in the 2018, going to the American Military cemetery in france. That is b. S. Every one of the leaders that were there, leader of germany, france, canada and others, they drove to honor u. S. Marines for what they did in world war ii. Him taking almost 4 billion out of defense contracting moneys that were going to build schools and hospitals and facilities for the american troops and their families, made a whole list of things he has done to deface our military. If it wasnt so serious, jim, it would be like a clown show. Like a daily clown show. I saw bill cohens comments earlier in the last hour with you. When he talked about how the United States has fallen in the eyes of the world, how we have post world war ii been a leader and we were respected for our values and morals. We have made a lot of mistakes but they knew they could count on us and on a president that said the right things, although we all disagreed with different actions. But we lost that. I think that is the bigger story. This atlantic story, it focuses on the debasement of our veterans and our men and women who have given themselves to this country. It is really astounding. I sense the passion coming out of your voice. We heard the same from the former secretary william cohen. What is it about the story, and what is it about this subject that so concerns people in the military community, people like yourself and concern is not really a Strong Enough word. You get the sense that there are people in the military community that are just outraged by the president s behavior, and what has been reported in the atlantic magazine. Well, jim, part of my reaction is not just as the former secretary of defense, the leader of our armed forces in america and a former United States senator, but more to the point that i am a veteran myself. My brother tom and i served together in vietnam in 1968. We served with and met the finest people we have ever known in our lives, their families, everything they represent. That is where i start. But then to your more general question he has used the military for three and a half years. He used them as props. Props for his campaigns. Every time that he announces something, he always uses it as props. What he did in washington d. C. When he brought in an airborne division, camped outside of washington d. C. Everything that he uses, he uses our military. He uses our people. He uses our tradition in the military of service. I dont know if every one of those comments in the atlantic magazine was correct. I dont know. I would say this about those that evidently made those comments to mr. Goldberg, who is a very respected journalist, and i know him. It is their time now to step forward and use their names. Quit enabling this guy. Come on. Show some courage. Do you have any courage at all. It is easy to say things when it is anonymous, nobody is using your name. Not so easy when you have to step out in front. Now is the time to do this or i fear another four years, not only what he is doing to our military but what he is doing to the country. All right. Former defense secretary chuck hagel calling out those sources to come forward and say what they know. Secretary hagel, strong comments. We appreciate it.

President ial campaign is heating up. As the summer winds down the Biden Campaign made the first trip outside the northeast since the beginning of the coronavirus pandemic. Gloria, we definitely saw a shift in joe bidens campaign this week. He was traveling out of the state of delaware, out of the philadelphia area, he took more questions than he has previously. Right. And the campaign is starting to feel the heat as we get closer to election day. This is certainly a new phase. It is a new phase. I think you saw biden go to kenosha. You saw biden have a press Conference Today responding to the atlantic article and talking about the economy. I think theyre trying to get the Vice President out there and Kamala Harris out there in a safe way. Theyre not going to be having large rallies. Theyre going to be encouraging people to wear a mask. They do believe voters want to see you in their state and make the effort to get out there and show they really want their votes. I want to play a vote for our viewers of your new documentary. Thank you. Lets watch and talk on the other side. While the president tried to help his son, the son tried to help his father. I actually believe and ill believe it to the day i die was the thing that beau was not most afraid of is dying. What he was most afraid of was the impact it would have on his dad, that it would take his dad out. Did he tell you that . Oh yeah acti, oh yeah, all t time. Its something the Vice President wrote about in his book promise me, dad. Beau just made me promise this was just before he died he said, dad, youve got to promise me youll be okay. He said, dad look at me, look me in the eye, dad, give me your word as a biden dad, youre gonna youre gone being okay. Are you okay . I am because it is still emotional, but i knew what he meant. He was worried i would walk away from everything i had worked in my whole life, the things i had cared about. He knew i would take care of the family. He never wondered about that, but he didnt want me walking away. Forward march. Beau biden died on may 30th, 2015. He was 46 years old. Is it true you keep beaus rosary with you. Ive got it in my pocket. All the time . I keep it all the time. He had it when he passed away. It was more gold. You can see its worn. And gloria, what struck you from your conversation with joe biden . That was definitely an emotional moment there. It was. I mean, what struck me from the Vice President and all the reporting and the people we interviewed on this piece is that this is a man whos been in public life one way or another for almost five decades. And when you look back on it, heres a guy who started as the candidate of change, jim, when he was 29 years old in 1972. He was running for a seat in the senate. Nobody thought he could win. He wasnt even old enough to serve in the senate at that time because of course you have to be 30. He was audacious and ar gantt. He tried and beat a popular republican incumbent. You see all these years later and all hes been through in his life, not only the tragedy with beau, but losing his wife and baby daughter in that car accident right after he got elected to that senate seat. After all hes been through, hes still working at it. He told me, look, i wouldnt have run if it werent for charlottesville and the way the president reacted to that, but he somehow felt that he needed to do it. When i talked to his friends and people who have known him for years, they somehow have this sense that the empathy we talk about with joe biden is something that the country might need right now, and that he is the polar opposite, of course, of donald trump. That is so true. And beau bidens service in the military, how much do you think that influenced joe bidens outrage over that story in the atlantic. A lot. You heard him say today my son was an attorney general and he did this because he loves his country. So, what did you saw from biden today was a very visceral reaction to what is reported in the atlantic. So, it wasnt just it wasnt just that, you know, that it was disgraceful, true. There was a kind of emotional part of him which said, wait a minute, this is my son, who was in iraq. This is my son who served. What if he had died there, how would i have felt if my son were one of those who had fallen. So, i think you you know, biden is an emotional guy. Hes emotional about his family. In this documentary, i ask him about his sister, and he kind of tears up talking about his sister whos run almost every campaign hes ever been in. And hes so emotional about beau and his grief over that. And i think we saw that today. All right, gloria borger, we are looking forward to this documentary coming up. Thank you. Thanks so much for laying it out for us. We appreciate it. Be sure to tune in this coming monday at 8 00 p. M. Eastern for our cnn special report gloria just talked about fight for the white house joe bidens long journey.
