America. Together, we rose to meet the challenge. President trump tackled the virus head on as leaders should. I cant imagine that anybody could be doing more. Just one major problem with that, dr. Fauci wasnt talking about the president. The quote is from an interview with fox news back in march where he was talking about the Coronavirus Task force and its efforts to respond to the pandemic. In a statement provided exclusively to cnn, dr. Fauci told us this, and im quoting now, in my nearly five decades of public service, i have never publicly endorsed any political candidate. The comments attribute today me without my permission in the gop campaign ad were taken out of context from a broad statement i made months ago about the efforts of federal Public Health officials, closed quote. All of this happening in a time when the last thing we should worrying about is whether we can trust the president on coronavirus. Just on saturday, Johns HopkinsUniversity Reported 54,639 new cases here in the United States and 618 new deaths here in the United States. This is the fourth day in a row, by the way, that weve seen 50,000plus new cases. First time that happened the last time, i should say, that happened was back in early august. Lets get straight to our white house correspondent, Jeremy Diamond is on the scene for us. Are we hearing any reaction, first of all, from the white house about these comments, very strong comments, from dr. Fauci . Reporter well, wolf, the Trump Campaign is standing by its decision to use this small snippet of dr. Faucis words from the interview he conducted back in march and the president is also chiming in, wolf, taking to twitter to say theyre indeed dr. Faucis own words. We have done a phenomenal job, according to certain governors, many people agree, and now come the vaccines and cures along ahead of projections. Wolf, of course, what we know is that two things are very important here, the timing and the context of dr. Faucis comments. Not only did dr. Fauci make these comments all the way back in march in the early months of this pandemic, but he was also very clearly referring to the Coronavirus Task force and this kind of whole of government effort not referring to President Trump specifically as this ad makes it appear. But the Trump Campaigns decision to use dr. Fauci in this makes clear two things, first of all, that they recognize that President Trump is underwater with voters as far as his Approval Ratings on the coronavirus, nearly 6 in 10 voters feel that President Trump has mishandled the coronavirus and clearly they also recognize that dr. Fauci is an overwhelmingly trusted voice on the coronavirus. But instead of using him to share valuable information about this pandemic, theyre trying to use him here no prop of the president s reelection campaign. Very, very significant. Jeremy, bring us up to speed on what the president and his doctors are saying about his health right now. Yeah, President Trump has been making some pretty misleading statements about his Health Including claiming that hes now inimmune from this coronavirus which is cdc warns people who have recovered from the virus not to assume. Heres the president earlier this morning. I beat this crazy, horrible china virus and it gives you immunity. It does give you immunity. Even the people that just could not accept anything, they just dont want to accept anything. So i passed the highest test, the highest standards, and im in great shape. I have to tell you, i feel fantastically. I really feel good. And i feel good by the fact that the word immunity means something, having really a protective glow means something. I think its important to have that. Reporter now medical experts believe theres perhaps some degree of immunity for people who have recovered from the coronavirus, although its not clear how much immunity and for how long that actually lasts. But the president is trying to suggest that hes completely immune. Twitter went and put a misleading information label on the president s tweet in which he made very similar comments. And, wolf, the president this evening on a call with Campaign Supporters claiming that he has tested negative for the coronavirus. But thats not exactly what dr. Sean conley, the president s physician, said in a statement late last night. He said only that the president doesnt have any detectable, transmissible virus in him any longer but he did not say that the president has tested negative, something you would presume he would including if that indeed was the case. We would like to hear from dr. Conley. Tomorrow it will be one week since the last time he answered report reporters questions. He just releases on a daily basis, these very short written statements, doesnt answer our questions at all. Jeremy diamond, thank you very much. Lets get more on the president s efforts to declare a victory over this deadly virus, joining us dr. Ashish jha, the dean at the Brown University school of Public Health also with us dr. Celine gounder. What do you make of the president s claim that hes immune . Wolf, theres still very little we know about the immune response to coronavirus, how long immunity might last, and whether how robust that immunity might be. I think the other important thing to you remember is, yes, the president has tested positive for coronavirus antibodies, but he was treated with antibodies produced by regeneron. Those regeneron antibodies are going to be floating around for a while and on top of that, furthermore, hes been treated with three different medications which may well interfere with the immune response to coronavirus long term. So just to be precise, the president says hes now immune, but we have no idea right now how long that kind of immunity would actually last, right . We have no idea. And we have no idea if hes truly immune. You know, dr. Jha, the claims did not end there at all. I want you to listen to what eric trump said on abc earlier today. Listen to this. It goes to speak to how good some of these vaccines that are being created are and what my father has done on the vaccine front, no one could have done. Literally, biden was calling my father xenophobic for shutting down america from travel to china and the virus came from china. My father started day one creating this vaccine. He worked to push this vaccine and now my father just took it. And you see how well can you i think as americans, we should be proud of that. Can you clarify that . You said your father just took a vaccine. When he was at walter reed the therapeutics. And on saturday, again, i spoke to the man three times on saturday, and he sounded tremendous and i think it goes to show the power of medicine in this country and how far that weve come on covid. The only problem there, dr. Jha, as all of us heard, theres no vaccine thats been approved yet. There are therapeutics. He did some therapeutics, treatments, but no vaccine. Why do you think he would make a major blunder like that . Its confusing and unhelpful and obviously the president did not get the vaccine, just to be very clear. As far as we know. That wouldnt have been appropriate. And the more important point here, wolf, is that we have had incredible progress on therapeutics and vaccines and theyve been done by the scientists. The scientists got going on this early, on vaccines. We had a bit of a head start because weve done a lot of work with the previous sars virus. I give the president credit for parts of operation warp speed, its been a global scientific effort, not one by a president or any individual group of scientists, but scientists collaborating around the world. The president keeps touting the antibody cocktail he got from regeneron and says he wants to make it free for people who need it. It hasnt even yet been approved for emergency use. But i want you to listen to what the president said. I just want to say we have regeneron, we have a similar drug from eli lilly and theyre coming out and were trying to get them on an emergency basis. Weve authorized it. I authorized it. And if youre in the hospital and youre feeling really bad, i think were going to work it so that you get them and youre going to get them free. And especially if youre a senior, were going to get you in there quick. We have hundreds of thousands of doses that are just about ready. So, whats your reaction to that, dr. Gounder . Remember that promise a few months ago that everybody who wanted a test for coronavirus could get a test, any time, and it would be for free . This promise sounds just about as hollow to me. I dont see how its possible when youre talking about a couple hundred thousand doses being available. Our current projections for late december are we might have something on the order of 300,000 new infections in the u. S. Per day. While not all of those people will get critically ill, youre still looking at a huge demand for a therapy like this and not nearly the needed supply. We got the regeneron, monoclonal cocktail, but he mentioned this antibody therapy from eli lilly. The company says, its to reduce hospitalizations for people with mild to moderate cases. How significant is this . Is this a Silver Bullet, the eli lilly cocktail, the regeneron cocktail . You know, we all want a Silver Bullet and its unfortunately not. It is helpful. We shouldnt down play it. It is helpful. As dr. Gounder said, with a couple hundred thousand doses and more than 50,000 americans getting infected every day right now, we would quickly exhaust the supply. So i wish that the government, the administration, had gotten serious about these antibodies and built up millions of doses of them so when they became authorized we could use them much more widely. Unfortunately were not going to be able to do that because we havent had the proactive role from the federal government. Theres been more than 50,000 confirmed coronavirus cases every day here in the United States. Dr. Gounder, you heard dr. Anthony fauci calling out the Trump Campaign for putting him in this political commercial, this ad, with the remark that he says he was taken out of context and it was used totally without his permission. He doesnt get involved in politics. The white house has been meddling with the efforts of scientists to stop this pandemic from the beginning, whats your reaction to the use of dr. Fauci and this campaign commercial . This is yet another attempt to politicize the science, to politicize the Public Health response. And dr. Fauci was actually compliments the longterm Public Health workers who are working in the trenches to fight coronavirus even in the absence of the supporti they really nee from the federal government. As weve seen, the federal government has tampered with the work of those Public Health officials at the cdc and on down. And so its sort of a laughable thing that he would ironic thing that he would turn that into a compliment about the administrations performance here. Its been almost a week since weve heard about the preside president s doctor about his health, its been weeks and weeks and weeks since the Coronavirus Task force of experts have been doing their daily coronavirus briefings. They havent taken place at all. And once again, the American Public deserves to hear from the experts on whats going on because the numbers are going up and up and up and all of this is very disturbing as so many states across the country. Thanks to both of you for joining us. Ill get reaction to dr. Fauci saying the Trump Campaign took his comments out of context. The former Senior Adviser to president obama, valerie jarrett, shes standing by. We have lots to discuss when we come back. And absorb wet messes, all in one disposable pad.

But, when used at the first sign, abreva can get you back to being you in just 2 and a half days. Be kinder to yourself and tougher on your cold sores. Returning to our top story, the Misleading Campaign ad from President Trump. Taking the words of dr. Anthony fauci, americas most trusted expert during this pandemic, out of context. Of course dr. Fauci says he was talking about the Coronavirus Task force, was not endorsing any candidate. And this was an interview, by the way, that he gave to fox news seven months ago. Not a recent statement by any means. Joining us right now the former Senior Adviser to former president obama, valerie jarrett. Valerie, thanks so much for joining us. I want to get to some of the substance. Whats your reaction to this up roar that we see now, the Trump Campaign using these words from dr. Fauci to mislead voters out there . First of all, good evening, wolf, its a pleasure to be with you. I suppose we shouldnt be surprised, but its appalling as dr. Fauci said, hes never endorsed a candidate, they cant ask his permission. He wasnt even talking about the president. He was talking about the task force, taken totally out of context, and so its blowing up on them and they shouldnt be surprised. They keep getting caught and it sends a powerful message to the American People about whether or not they should trust this president. Let me get to the really critically important issue with the stimulus talks that are still under way, albeit, it doesnt look very promising. Nancy pelosi wrote a letter to her democratic colleagues criticizing the latest offer, the latest deal proposed by the white house saying until these serious issues are resolved in her words, we remain at an impasse. But isnt it time for the two sides to find a compromise, neither getting completely what they want . There are so many millions of people out there, valerie, who are legitimately suffering right now. They need help, not only to pay for their rent and pay the bills, but to put food on the table for themselves and kids. Youre absolutely right, wolf, the American People are in desperate straits. The house passed a bill back in may and for months the republicans refused to move. They should come to together. Its not helpful to have the president first say hes going to put it off until after the election, really people should have to wait until after the election to get the relief you just described . And then he goes from that to the other extreme, a very large package that it seems there isnt any support for. Of course they should work together. He hasnt invited them to the white house virtually, which would be an appropriate thing for the president to do, to say the American People are counting on us. Lets work this out. Yeah, they just need a compromise. Its not going to be perfect. But at least you get a trillion and a half or maybe 2 trillion out there to help critical businesses that are laying off thousands and thousands of people right now. You do what you can do and you work down the road on some other big projects. As you know, the democratic president ial nominee, the former Vice President joe biden who you used to work with on a daytoday basis, he spoke yesterday about the election. I want you to listen to what he had to say. This caused a stir. Listen to this. Heres the deal, guys, we got to go out and make sure you vote because the only way we lose this is by the chacanery going on at polling places. He says, i guess he didnt mean that, but do you agree with the former Vice President s initial statement that the only way he d lose is if there is chicanery or people are cheating. I think he was noting that President Trump encouraging his supporters to go and watch the polls and who knows what kind of aggressi aggressi aggressive behavior that would take. Weve seen states like texas making it harder for people to vote absentee. We know that there are examples of Voter Suppression all around the country and i think what the Vice President biden was saying, look, if its on the up and up, we give people the opportunity to vote, the vast majority of the American People will support him. But i hasten to add, he doesnt take a single vote for granted. He will be out there trying to earn the respect and support of the American People every single day until the election is over. But he is he should rightly be troubled by the kind of rhetoric and behavior that were seeing in parts of the country. Every american should have the accessible right to vote in a fair way and particularly with this overlay of the pandemic, voting by mail. The president s fbi said there werent examples of voter fraud there. We should encourage people to vote safely and you would think that back in may when the house was passing a bill we would have been sure that the senate focused on resources for the post office and that did not happen. Yeah, lots at stake right now. Just 20plus days to go until november 3rd. But millions and millions of people are voting here in the United States. Valerie jarrett, thank you so much for joining us. Youre welcome, wolf. Be safe. Thank you. Tomorrow is a pivotal day on capitol hill here in washington as the hearings for the u. S. Supreme Court Nominee judge Amy Coney Barrett are set to get under way. Were going to tell you what shes expected to say in her Opening Statement. Thats next. Stay with us.

Get e trade and get more than just trading. Investing. Banking. Guidance. Tomorrow a pivotal day in the u. S. Supreme court battle, the Senate Judiciary committee will begin hearings for judge Amy Coney Barrett. Today, judge barrett released an advance copy of her Opening Statement as Chuck Schumer weighs his partys remaining options to halt the process. Our congressional reporter, lauren fox, is joining us right now. Whats in judge barretts statement and what else can we expect tomorrow . Well, tomorrow is really going to be the opening day that democrats are going to be able to grill Amy Coney Barrett. Wolf, this is really going to be a day where you hear from each individual senator, each member will have ten minutes to make Opening Statements. We, of course, expect that the chairman graham will make his Opening Statement first but well get our first glimpse into what Amy Coney Barrett, the president s nominee to fill that Supreme Court vacancy, what she will say. And we have gotten an expert of her remarks. She says, theres a tendency in our profession to treat the practice of law as allconsuming. While losing sight of everything else. But that makes for a shallow and unfulfilling life. I worked hard as a lawyer and a professor. I owed that to my clients, my students and myself. But i never let the law define my identity or crowd out the rest of my life. Of course, you can expect that coronavirus is really going to be overshadowing these hearings as well tomorrow, wolf, because were going to be keeping our eye out for which of the senators who were diagnosed with coronavirus more than a week ago, two of them on the Judiciary Committee, mike lee and thom tillis, whether or not they will be participating in person. Thom tillis will attend virtually but hopes to be there thursday for a critical vote. Were told by mike lees spokesperson will make the announcement tomorrow morning. Wolf . The democrats are seeking also more information from judge barrett. They say she left out materials in her senate filings. What can you tell us about that . Reporter essentially, theyre arguing that her questionnaire when she first filed it to the Senate Judiciary committee was incomplete. There are two things that theyre looking for an explanation about and we should note that Amy Coney Barrett updated that questionnaire with Supplemental Information on friday night, but it was after a couple of key missing items, one of them, this newspaper ad from the newspaper in south bend from a Prolife Group roe v. Wade thae judge signed her name to, the other one, several lectures that she gave, two of them to antiabortion groups back at notre dame. They want to know exactly why werent those materials initially included in her questionnaire, wolf. Well watch the hearings tomorrow, going on for four days here in washington. Lauren fox, thank you very much. Lets bring in our chief legal analyst, Jeffrey Toobin, author of the new book entitled true crimes and misdemeanors the investigation of President Trump. Youve written an important book on the Supreme Court. Is there anything realistically that democrats can do to prevent this confirmation from Going Forward . At this point, it doesnt look that way. There are two republicans, Susan Collins and senator murkowski who have said theyre going to vote against her. But the democrats need two more votes and it really does not look like there are two more votes there. But the process has to go forward. This is a deeply bizarre proceeding in the middle of a pandemic that has worked its way through the senate. There are two predominant republicans, lindsay graham, the senator, and chuck grassley, who is in his mid80s, neither of whom have agreed to take a covid test. Its just a very bizarre proceeding. But republicans appear determined and it looks like they have the votes. What do you make, jeffrey, of judge barretts prepared remarks, the advance release of her Opening Statement that was put forward today. Youve gone through it. Yeah, it is a its pretty standard for these proceedings. The ever since Robert Bourke in 1987, theyve committed themselves to very little and judge barrett appears to be acting in that tradition. There is nothing in that in that statement that commits her to vote one way or another on controversial issues. She talks about her background, she talks about her nine children. These are all endearing qualities, but they really dont tell you a lot about what kind of justice shes going to be. She does have a very, very impressive personal life, her family life and all of that. Well see what kind of impact that has during the confirmation process. Chuck schumer warned that democrats could boycott the Judiciary Committees final vote if republicans cant get a quorum. How do you see these things playing out . Two republican members of the Judiciary Committee are now still dealing with their own covid . I made a mistake, its seven children. Its not nine. Its not nine children. But, yes, it is a possibility that if the if there are two absences on the part of the republicans, it is possible if the democrats decide not to show up that there will not be a quorum. At the moment, it looks like mike lee and thom tillis are recovering sufficiently that they will be able to show up in person and vote. But one as i say, this proceeding is literally unprecedented because so many members of the senate are afflicted with covid. Whether theyre recovered, whether theyre still communicable, whether they will be able to show up is uncertain. But as far as we can tell now, the republicans do appear determined and able to come and vote and that means theyll have a quorum so they can move it to the full senate later in the month. We have more to discuss on a different issue, the former Vice President joe biden continuing to dodge the question of whether he supports adding seats to the u. S. Supreme court. Does that concern voters . Well discuss. Well get the latest oen that wh on that when we come back. Economics . Algorithms . Magic . Turns out, its you. Doing your thing. Dreaming dreams.

Senate hearings for judge Amy Coney Barrett set to begin tomorrow morning, democrats are running out of options to keep President Trumps pick off the Supreme Court. Joe biden was asked if he would try to add justices to the Supreme Court. Its called packing the court, by some, in retaliation. But the former Vice President has repeatedly in recent days refused to give a straight answer. Court packing is going on right now. Its going on when republicans packing the courts now. Its not constitutional what theyre doing. Lets bring in our Political Correspondent who covers the Biden Campaign for us. Is the Biden Campaign showing any sign at all of offering a specific direct answer on that issue of adding seats to the u. S. Support if judge barrett is confirmed . Well, wolf, joe biden has been getting this question for several weeks and he has been sticking to that same answer, saying that he is not going to talk about his position when it comes to packing the court before election day. The Biden Campaign argues that this is a distraction that the Trump Campaign and the president are trying to put in place and that they dont believe that its a conversation that should be dictated by what republicans want to talk about. And Deputy Campaign manager Kate Bettingfield appeared earlier today and was asked about this by jake tapper. Take a listen to what she had to say. This is a hypothetical to distract that theyre trying to ram through a nominee who is going to change the makeup of the court against the American People. They dont want to talk about that. Theyre trying to create a distraction and, you know, send folks down a rabbit hole talking about this. Reporter now one thing to note, joe biden said that he opposed more justices to the Supreme Court. This was an issue that was talked about a lot by his democratic primary rivals who several of them did want to see packing the Supreme Court happen. But biden hasnt offered any publications just yet where he stands and says he will not give that formal answer until after the election. Youve seen the Trump Campaign trying to seize on this. Earlier, they held a call with some surrogates telling them to promote the fact that the former Vice President isnt talking about his answer to court packing. Its unlikely that this is an issue thats going to go away. For the time being, it seems like biden is sticking to his position of simply not answering the question. Wolf . Thank you very much. Lets bring back our chief legal analyst Jeffrey Toobin and his new book true crimes and misdemeanors the investigation of donald trump. Why is this a tough question for joe biden to answer . Hes on record a while ago saying he opposes additional seats to the Supreme Court. Theres conflict in the Democratic Party about this issue. A lot of democrats are so furious that they believe that Mitch Mcconnell has stolen two seats from them, the Merrick Garland seat at the end of the Obama Administration and now, you know, rushing through the confirmation of judge barrett to replace justice ginsburg, that they want to use their power under the constitution, which they have, to increase the number of justices. Theres also the feeling that this is sort of an unfair game. That the number of the justices has been set for so long since 1869 that its considering tampering with the structure of government. In 1937, Franklin Roosevelt tried to increase the number of justices on the court and its considered a black mark on an otherwise successful presidency. Hes not engaging with the issue at this point. You know, the former Vice President , jeffrey, wouldnt be facing these questions if the president and the republicans in the senate hadnt been so effective in confirming judicial nominees over the past four years. Biden claims republicans are the ones resorting to courtpacking. What do you make of that . I dont think that is thats really accurate. They fill vacancies. Its funny, obama was accused of courtpacking on the d. C. Circuit. Theres nothing inappropriate about filling vacancies on the court, especially the lower courts, and Mitch Mcconnell and donald trump has been very industrious in doing that. Mcconnell was very industrious in stopping barack obama in the last two years of obamas presidency. This is something that republicans have focused on much more than democrats, which is, using the power to nominate and confirm judges or stop the other side from confirming judges to extend their legacy in power. And theres a lot of frustration about that among democrats and if biden wins and if the democrats retake the senate, there will be enormous pressure on biden and the Democratic Senate to do unto others as was done to them. They will start pushing through young, liberal judges, to counteract what they feel is a very right ward drift in the federal judiciary. These are lifetime appointments, federal judge, if youre in your late 40s like judge barrett right now, you could spend the next 30 or 40 years on the u. S. Supreme court having a huge impact on day to day activities of the American People. Its so, so significant, indeed. Thank you so much for joining us. Dr. Anthony fauci has been one of the nations leading experts on the coronavirus pandemic and hes now saying the Trump Campaign took his comments out of context. Will this impact voters decisions with just 23 days to go until election day here in the United States . We have new information. Well be right back. T predict t but a resilient business can be ready for it. A Digital Foundation from vmware helps you redefine whats possible. Now. From the hospital shifting to remote patient care in just 48 hours. To the university moving hundreds of apps quickly to the cloud. Or the City GovernmentGoing Digital to keep Critical Services running. You are creating the future on the fly. And we are helping you do it. Vmware. Realize whats possible. Lets get back to our top stories, the new and Misleading Campaign ad by trumps campaign. They took faucis words out of context without his permission. I want to bring in ron brownstein. Thanks for joining us. 23 days from the november 3rd election. Is it wise to pick a fight with someone like dr. Fauci at this really sensitive moment . He is probably the most trusted voice when it comes to the pandemic. It continues the astonishing decisions this administration and the president continues to make. Not only from a Public Health point of view but from a political point of view. How he went out and did and event at the white house so soon after his own diagnosis. When consistently, 60 of americans say they dont believe he has taken this outbreak seriously enough from the very beginning. Similarly on this, he is looking at polls like the one today where over 60 of americans say they cant trust what he says on the coronavirus. Almost half of americans dont trust at all what he says on the coronavirus. He puts himself in a position where he is contradicted by someone who is one of the most trusted sources of information. He continues to erode his own position on what is the most pressing issue for voters. With 62 of the American Public, according to this poll, saying you cant trust what President Trump says about the coronavirus, does he still have time to win back that trust among those voters who are still undecided out there . He needs them. I dont think theres much movement. We have had last poll, 60 disapprove of the way he handled the virus. In the abc Washington Post poll, it was 60 . In iowa, he was down on who you trust to handle it. Michigan and nevada, down by double digits on who you trust to handle it. The mold is cast here. The president again rather than trying to deal with the public concern from the very beginning his posture has been to project normalcy at all costs, regardless of whats happening, regardless of the Public Health consequences. I think the actual tangible affect has been no matter what he says every day, it is overshadowed by the way in which he is holding rallies. The clearest message is that no matter how many people die, get sick, he will not take this seriously. You have seen the new polls out there that show biden ahead by six Percentage Points in several key battleground states, michigan and nevada. In iowa, for that matter, as well, where the president will travel this week. He will be in a rally in iowa. Theres a dead tie for support right now. President trump won there in iowa by nearly 10 Percentage Points in 2016. If he cant win iowa, can he win the election . No, no. Iowa is a virtually all white state. A majority are noncollege whites who are the core of his coalition. Theres a clear message from this national and state polling over the last several weeks. President trump has governed from too narrow a base from which to win this election. He is at 60 among noncollege whites in the National Poll today and most of the state polls. National poll put him at 80 almost among white evangelicals. He is strong in rural areas. Yet, he is trailing in all of these battleground and National Surveys because he has alienated everyone else to such an extent. Towering margins against him among voters of color and young people. He is on track to lose between 55 and 60 of College Educated white voters, the weakest performance for a republican president ial nominee. Theres an ad going on with cindy mccain endorsing joe biden. We have seen half of george w. Bushs cabinet endorse joe biden and roughly half a dozen republican governors endorse joe biden.
