Pandemic. And michigan and wisconsin are two of the states reporting dramatic surges in new infections. The president today is in both of those states, headed to wisconsin later this evening. Its the sixth day of rallies since he was diagnosed with coronavirus. He has been downplaying the dangers of the virus and is also threatening to actually lock up his political opponents, even suggesting last fight hed leave the United States if he loses. Lets go right to michigan, our senior washington correspondent joe johns is on the scene. Michigan has seen record numbers of covid cases. To attendees seem to be concerned about that at all . We know what a battleground state michigan is . Right. A full house here at the muskegan airport, wolf. Can i tell you this, if you look at the headon camera that is recording the president right now, you will probably see a lot of people who are Wearing Masks. But in the crowd at large and its a large crowd, you dont see that many people Wearing Masks. Theyre very sparce and there is no social distancing, of course. Thats an issue, too, especially because here in this state, yesterday we had 2,000 new cases of coronavirus today about 1,800. The numbers are simply not good. Another thing that happened here today the president did mention michigan governor gretchen whitmer. Theyve had words. The president has been highly critical of her because of the restrictions shes placed on the state having to do with coronavirus. When the president mentioned her today, there was also a chant from the crowd that many of us find familiar. Something we heard harkening back to 2016. Listen. You got to get your governor to open up your state. Okay [ cheers ] and get your schools opened. Get your schools opened. The schools have to be opened. Rig right . Lock her up. Lock her up. Lock them all up. No, no, not you that seemingly harmless rhetoric. But you have to remember that very recently 13 individuals were arrested and in a plot to kidnap governor gretchen whitmer. So that makes it much more serious in that context, wolf. And that followed a tweet from the president in which he said liberate whitmer. He said she is behaving like a dictator. Joe johns, thank you for your perspective from michigan. Lets head over to wisconsin, where a crowd is waiting to see the president for what will be his Second Campaign rally of the night. Jeremy dimon is on the ground. Jeremy, with just 17 days to go before election day here in the United States, already more than 22 million americans have already voted, early voting going on, whats President Trumps closing message to these swing state voters . Reporter well, wolf, you are hearing a lot of what we hear from the president particularly on the company trail. Are you hearing a lot of red meat. What you are hearing from the president in the final stretch of the campaign is to try and essentially convince voters and convince american what is they are seeing and what is happening in this country somehow is not happening and what im talking about here, specifically, wolf, is the surge if cases of coronavirus that is happening right now in most states in the United States across the country. The cases are up on average about 30 over the last two weeks. The president s every day in the last week have tried to pretty midinformation about mask wearing. He is also pointing to a surge in cases in europe, even though the situation in the United States in terms of number of cases per capita or deaths per capita is far, far worse. So, wolf, the president made the gamble that even as voters are more concerned about the coronavirus than any other issue that the only way that he thinks he can convince people to vote for him and try and save his reelection prospect is to convince people the situation is not as bad as it really is, wolf. And nowhere is that message more than here in the state of wisconsin, which is experiencing the worst fight than anywhere in the country right now. You arrive at a rally like this, where you see several thousand people packed closely together. No social distancing is happening whatsoever and most people are not Wearing Masks. Wisconsin is going through a very, very horrible situation right now. The president will be heading from michigan to wisconsin later tonight. Jeremy dimon on the scene for us. Thank you very much. Meanwhile, the Surgeon General of the United States jerome adams is warning that wisconsin is way too red. He is not talking about politics. Wisconsin is not alone. Look at this its one of ten states that reported their highest number yet of new covid cases on friday. Lets discuss this and more with cnn medical analyst and battle more commissioner dr. Lena wen and the dean from the school of tropical medicine at baylor university. Overall, there is way too much red across the United States. The numbers are awful. How concerned are you about the next few weeks an months when you say, first of all, these large gatherings with limited mask waergs and virtually no social distancing . Wolf, whats happening now is my heart is breaking. I know what will follow, the permanent injuries and deaths. What we are heading towards quickly tonight or tomorrow is 70,000 new cases per day and then well head to 80,000 new cases per day. If you remember, dr. Faucis apop limitic scenario, he said we could reach 100,000 new cases per day. I think were going to head now finally towards that mark as we progress through the fall and winter, colder months. Its happening right where the president is holding rallies up in chicago, michigan and northern u. S. , going into montana, the dakotas. So this is absolutely devastating. We are about to enter the worst part of our covid19 epidemic, which has already been so devastating for the American People . You are making a really important point. Dr. Wen, when you look at the overall case numbers, you can see there was a dip in the numbers in august. Since then, they started tracking up major league. Take a look at the rise in cases, what itself going on, this week, here in the United States, well put that graphic back up on the screen. Pond there were 41,000. Tuesday 52,000. Wednesday, 59,000. Thursday, 63,000. Yesterday, friday, 69,000 confirmed coronavirus cases in the United States. So those are so awful, tell us whats gentleman on. Well, wolf, i agree with dr. Ho that all these numbers indicate that we are trending in the wrong direction. This is exactly where we did not want to be headed into the winter. And i think what is happening now is a confluence of factors. We have reopenings that were done after memorial day. We had a surge after memorial day. At that point we saw major surges in the south and the west and the sun belt. We saw the upper midwest, while these other areas never plateaued. They never reached a low enough level of infection. Now there are essentially raging infections out of control in multiple parts of the country. But i think that at this point, we need to say that there is, yes, there is a lot that the federal government can and should have done. They should still be doing now. But in the absence of that, there is still a lot that we as individuals can be doing, starting with something as basic as Wearing Masks, but also avoiding gatherings, practicing social distancing. We can make a difference in our communities and also protect ourselves and our loved ones too. And the president suggests we are going in the right direction. That its disappearing, one of the words he used in different days. Doctor, hotez, i know you have been focusing in on the coronavirus like sars for more than a decade. The federal Program Operation warp speed claims it will be able to deliver 300 million doses of a safe and effective covid19 vaccine, maybe by the end of the year. Do you really think thats possible . Zplel, hopefully by the end of the year, wolf, maybe by the end of november, we will know any of the three vaccines in later stage 3 trials, thes tra zenica oxford and moderna and pfizer biotech whether any of them are working and are safe. And once we ghaet signal, then we can start begin releasing it to the public, possibly through emergency use authorization. So the fda has done a good job of late in making certain that these vaccines still reach a very high standard, even though its not quite the same as full approval. I think it will closely approximate it. Then we can genre leasing it. 300 million doses is a lot, of course. The way i like to think of sit every year we release 100 million doses of flu vaccine over a very short period of time over several months. So this is a little more complicated, especially if its an rmna vaccine thats required to work. Because it has that deep, deep freeze, in the case of the pfizer one. That will complicate it. Now they put the u. S. Military out in front to help in distribution. Weve never done that before. General pernas has distribution experience as an army general so we have unknowns using the u. S. Military. We havent done that before and 300 million is not 100 million and that deep freeze, but overall, i have some optimism and i am excited to finally see some vaccine being released and get some virus neutralizing antibodies in all of us, to especially as the federal government has not been willing to embark on any kind of Meaningful National control program, thats all we will have at this point is the vaccine. And i just want to point out what dr. Fauci, dr. Wen has told me over the last few weeks, several of these potential vaccines. We hope they will all work and be safe and effective. But some of them might require not one dose but two doses, lets say, a month or four weeks apart so if you have 300 million available, its really good for 150 Million People if you need two doses and he also says, dr. Wen, that it would be great if they were 60 or 70 effective. That means, what, that 30 of those who get the two doses, lets say, its not going to make much of a difference . Is that what i am hearing . Ye, i think we need to see the vaccine approval process se beginning. Not at the end point, because there still will be many more steps that are involved in distribution in manufacturing, especially if there are two doses, you might lose people, given a second dose. Even after the vaccine is actually given to people, it may still be as you said, wolf, 60to70 effective. Which means the vaccine alone will not be our savior. We will continue to have these pressures, including mask wearing, social distancing that will probably continue for us to reduce as much harm as possible so there is a long road ahead of us. I think right now we need to focus on getting past this winter. Otherwise, this could be the deadliest winter in our recent history, but there are things we can do in order to prevent that from happening. One of the things we can do, get a flu shot. Its really important for everyone to go out there and get a flu shot. The combination of the regular flu season with the coronavirus, that could make things even worse than they already are. You know, dr. Hodez, europe has also hit record numbers right now. Some regions are incurring partial curfews and lockdowns s. Is that what its going to take to get this under control . Yeah, it may be. One of the things i am worried about is this is happening in a difficult period in american life. The numbers are going to rise slooep steeply in november, december and january depending on the outcome of the election on november 3rd. This may be a lame duck executive branch in the federal government. How do we insure that we still have leadership in place in order to help provide those directives and advice from the cdc so there is a combination of factors that makes me very worried that the numbers will be rising steeply. The how engage the federal government will be during these next few months is unclear. Im worried about the Mental Health of the country. People are going to get scared. Theyre going to get upset and maybe even depressed. This is a normal reaction to a stressful situation. I think we need to speak up over Mental Health care and provide access to that and advise people how to do social distancing, who do to social distancing with, were going to get a lot of communications and handholding from the federal government. Im a little worried that it may not be there. So a lot will fall to the governors. Its going to be a tough time. Even if there, is god willing, a safe vaccine that comes up this year, we gen to start getting nit major numbers next year, dr. Fauci has also told me in recent weeks, we should plan for Wearing Masks for much of next year at a machine mum, because its going to be just on the safe side of things. Dr. Wen, thank you so much. Dr. Hotez, thanks, to you as well. Thanks to both of you for what you are doing for the american public, indeed the world. President trump is now in overdrive with several rallies yesterday, two more today, trying to close the gap with joe biden with 17 days left in the campaign. Lots of news unfolding right here in the situation room. We made usaa insurance for this season. And the veterans that never quit on their team. When being a fan gets tough, and stretching your budget gets even tougher. Our agents put in the time and legwork for you,. So saving on Auto Insurance is easy. Because saving a little extra goes a long way. Usaa. What youre made of, were made for. You may not expect the unexpected, but you can certainly take it all. The lexus es. Wow, this rain is bananas. Now available with awd. Lease the 2021 es 250 awd for 359 a month for 36 months. Experience amazing. At your lexus dealer. Only 17 days until this election ends. At least at the ballot box. But early voting is off to a resounding start with more than 22 million votes already cast in 45 states as well as here in washington, d. C. And take a look at the numbers in these five states compared to this point back if 2016. Illinois is seeing a full increase in inperson voting. President trump is out paying his attention to some states, even though theyre normally republican strongholds. David axel road is joining us right now. What does it tell you that some normally red republicanleaning states are teeing a dramatic surge in early voteing . Look, i think there is going to be heavy voting everywhere. The turnout in the midtern elections was kuwait heavy. It was heavy in some republican areas as well as democratic as strong holds. So, and then you look at polling and the interest that people are reporting in this election is a record high so i said for some time i think we will have over 150 Million People voting. It may on a percentage basis be the most participated election weve seen since 1960. Wow. Thats major, indeed. The map included georgia and north carolina. I want to show the viewers travel schedule. We see georgia and north carolina, not to mention arizona, these would normally be firewalls for an incumbent president. Does he gain time going there . First of all, those states are very competitive. Georgia, a state he won by 5 points last time. Biden is a few points in polling averages. The president went to des moines, iowa, he won by nine points. Hes been to ohio, a state he won last time. These are bad signs when you play defense this late in the campaign. Does it help him to go . It stirs excitement among his supporters. Yes. The problem is what the president does when he goes there. The things that he says when he goes there. When you go to these place and tell people we are rounding the corner. You open up on the biden family and call them a criminal enterprise and say they should be locked up. You are exasperating the problem. They dont know what he will do on that platform and it wasnt very helpful. At one point he posted a tweet saying biden is a National Security threat. We are talking former Vice President of the United States and he is saying wide isnt the a National Security threat. You see the tweet. Its not a retweet. This is a president ial statement. When you see that, whats your reactio reaction . My reaction is he is a threat. There have been threats to classified information when he said yesterday bidens family being investigated by local authorities in new york for the way theyve done their business. So its really peculiar. I am telling you, it does not happen him. You look at the polling. He still get some food marks on the economy and he would be driving in that direction and asking miami who is best be it to rebuild the economy. I think a lot of republicans wish he would do that. Instead, he se a superspreader of conspiracy theories and he gets into these strange side fights like he did today with ben sass, a senator from nebraska. A republican who had been critical of him. Hold open for a moment. Im going to play a clip. Here is the republican senator of nebraska ben sass speaking of the incumbent republican president of the United States. I am now looking at the possibility after a republican blood bath in the senate. Thats why i have never been on the trump train and i am not campaigning for him. I think we are staring down the barrel of a blue tsunami. Whats your reaction when you hear senator ben sass make those comments . Hes gone way, way further in criticizing the president. In all fairness, he did not support the president in 2016. But hes been very careful about where he intervenes and what he says. The fact that he is speaking out so boldly now, he backed up the truck, wolf. He went on for minutes and minutes and minutes on a Conference Call with 17,000 supporters. Hes sophisticated enough to know that was not a private consider. So he wanted people to hear what he was saying. I think he reflects the thinking of a lot of republicans right now, this is going in the wrong direction and the president is headed for defeat and could take down a lot of republicans with him. You hear that privately from republicans. Senator sass said publicly what many of them are saying privately. The president went after senator ben sass. At one point he called him on twitter, stupid. David axelrod, thank you very, very much. President trump seizes reelection in clear jeopardy, listen to this. He is now calling for his rivals to be locked up. Whats he discussing . When we come back. Ure all set. Thanks that was my business gi, this ones casual. Get set up right with a live bookkeeper with intuit quickbooks. Its our sharpest ever, and while some other companies would charge more for something new, we dont. Because why be like everyone else . Harrys. Not the same. Noticks and fleas . O simplifies protection. Because why be like everyone else . See ya heartworm disease . No way simparica trio is the first chewable that delivers all this protection. And simparica trio is demonstrated safe for puppies. Its simple go with simparica trio. This drug class has been associated with neurologic adverse reactions, including seizures; use with caution in dogs with a history of these disorders. Protect him with all your heart. Simparica trio. 17 days left in the president ial company here in the United States and the stakes could not be higher for President Trump. Its not just his second term on the line. An election lost could potentially mean he will lose some of the Legal Protections afforded by the pregnancy making him vulnerable potentially to a number of Serious Investigation and lawsuits that are already under way. Lets bring in our chief legal analyst jeffrey toobin. His important new book is entitled true crimes and misdemeanors, the investigation of President Trump. The president said something really striking last night. Watch this, listen. I sent them out. You know what, rung against the worst candidate in the history of president ial politics puts pressure on me. Could you imagine if i lose . My whole life i will say, i lost to the worst candidate in the history of politics. Im not financial to feel so good. Maybe ill have to leave the country. I dont know. He got some laughter there. He was making a joke do you think he was worried at these Legal Proceedings to avoid punishment. He faces serious legal problems if he is defeated. It makes it easier for the u. S. District attorney in new york and others to go after him. Absolutely. One of the things the president has been successful with during his tenure in office has been putting off these investigations of his personal life. Whether these are personal injury lawsuits by jean carroll and others and of course the criminal investigation from cyrus vance. Even though cyrus vance won in the stream court in june. He hasnt been able to get these records yet. All of those protections that the president has used will end if he leaves office in january in which case he will just be an ord fare target of an investigation and defendant in civil cases, where he will have to defend himself and see if he wins or loses. Tell us about a historical precedent for the prosecution of a former american president . Well, the most famous possible prosecution was of Richard Nixon who was at great jeopardy in the watergate coverup trial. Shortly after gerald ford took officer, he issued a preemptive part of Richard Nixon, which ended his criminal liability the possibility of criminal prosecution. One thing we can say for sure if joe biden wins is not going to be pardoning donald trump. So any sort of criminal investigation will proceed and in in any event, a federal pardon from the president wouldnt cover a state investigation like the one going on in new york. So trump will have to face these cases on his own. What would it mean if the next president of the United States were to be prosecuted. Would that show facing prosecution as soon as the opposing party were to say take power. See, thats one of the problems with this whole subject. My guess, is its an educated guess. Its still just a guess, if joe bidens department if biden wins will not engage in an investigation of donald trump. The Mueller Investigation found significant evidence that the president committed obstruction of justice. That case could be prosecuted. But i think biden and his team know that if the Occupation Department of justice starts investigating or prosecuting donald trump, thats the only story in america. That dominates the biden president city. I think biden has a lot of other things hed prefer to spend his time on and Political Capital on than the investigation of donald trump. So if there is going to be a criminal investigation, it will come out of the states, especially new york. Can we simply assume, you know, jeffrey, if he is reelected, he doesnt have to worry at all about these potential criminal investigations . I dont know about at all. It is true that the United States department of Justice Policy which forbids indictments of sitting president. It a policy, not a law. But Robert Mueller felt bound by it. That doesnt apply to the states so it is their retically possible that the Manhattan District Attorney could indict donald trump even if he was president. But i think realistically, the chances for his being prosecuted and certainly for his ability to keep civil cases at bay is enormously helped by getting reelected. If he loses, all those protections are gone. We are seeing a clear pattern emerge in the president s rallies, especially last night and today. Watch and listen to this. I am telling you, the biden family is corrupt. A corrupt family. And with me and my kids, let me tell you, my kids, ill tell you something, its great, lock them up. You should lock them up. Lock up the bidens. Lock up hillary. Lock them all up. So whats your reaction when you see that where he is threatening his political opponent . You know, i think weve gotten so used to the things that donald trump says that we lose the ability to be outraged. But there are few more outrageous things that he has said as president than he wants to lock up his political opponents. This is something that has not been said in american political history. You know, one difference between american democracy in awe authoritarian countries, is that politics is not used as an instrument of prosecution. You didnt hear dwight heisen hour saying adelaide should be locked up, or walter mon dale saying reagan should be locked up. Its outside the realm of what is acceptable. I hope we return to that some day. Its pernicious and a betrayal of what american democracy has stood for. Unfortunately, the sheer repetition of the lock them up chants and statements by the president have sort of deadened us to how outrageous it is. Well said. Thank you very, very much.

He based claims with his social media accounts and rallies that draw vocal believers. Cnns gary tubman talked to them in georgia. Reporter you have the qanon a satanic ped fellia . Yes. You do. Trump was not criticized the conspiracy qa none . Yes, sir, 1 humidity . You think he has your back . I really do. Reporter you think he should have denounced qa none . Why should he . Reporter because he believes in crazy stuff. You guys try to make us believe crazy stuff. Brian stelter has a list of cnn reliable sources with a brandnew entitled book hoax, donald trump, the hoax and dangerous distortion of the truth. What do you mike of the president s rhetoric when i comes to qanone . Its a hoax linked to violence in the United States. By having the president say i dont know what theyre about and theyre opposed to ped fellia fell ophelia. Its disturbing that a virtual cult, qanon is a cyrtual cult. The president doesnt clearly denounce. Instead, he tip toes, he knows his storiers are qanon believers. It will continue to be a problem in the final steps of the campaign. I think you are right. The president refused to do as we know what was called for a virtual headtohead debate with joe biden this past week and then scheduled the competing town hall. His Campaign Manager jason miller predicted they beat biden in a metric that really as we all know seriously matters to the president. We are talking television ratings. But thats not what happened. Tell us more. This was a shock to people at abc and nbc and the biden campaign. There was an assumption trump would be ahead. The biden had 14 million viewers. The trump town hall were not able to surpass that even though it was on three different channels. You see bind ahead of trump. Is that fatigue . Tim alberta quoted a trump supporter. Loose, i love the president , even im tired of the president. I wish he wouldnt be out in front. The idea of trump fatigue is real and might be slowing up in the ratings. The president today is tweeting an attack against the moderator at this weeks Kristen Welker who is an excellent journalist, calling her, according to president terrible and unfair. What was your reaction . This is the best and worst example of him working the reps ahead of time. He does this for every event. He is working to get favorable treatment. I think its a good sign he says he is going to do. Its disappointing there wasnt a debate last thursday. The American People lost out. He is going to show up. He is challenging and calling out and criticize thgs moderator for no good reason based on a new york hit job. Both candidates deserve fair ness, but there is no reason welker will be unfair to the president. She is an excellent journalist. Thank you very much.

Its got our sharpest five german blades ever and unlike some other companies, i were following some breaking news just coming in to the situation room. The university of floridas head football coach tested positive for coronavirus. Dan mullen revealed his diagnosis on twitter, experiencing mild symptoms and is selfisolating. The Florida Gators were supposed to play lsu today but their matchup is postponed until december after at least 21 team members tested positive. Mullen says everyone is recovering well. We wish everyone of course a speedy recovery. New Coronavirus Infections are rising across europe. Right now european nations which had sharply reduced infection rates earlier this year with strict lockdowns are now seeing their numbers surge once again as measures were relaxed. Cnns ben wedeman is in italy where nearly 11,000 new cases were reported just today. Thats a record there. Ben . Reporter wolf, for the fourth day in a row, italy recorded record high daily increases in the number of new coronavirus cases, numbers far higher than we saw earlier this year when italy was the european epicenter of the pandemic. Nonetheless, the number of deaths, daily deaths remain relatively low, still in the double digits. We are in a rainy naples today, where the regions governor has imposed new restrictions closing down schools and universities, and earlier today, we had a chance to speak with the regions senior Infectious Disease specialist, who told us that the region is taking a much more aggressive proactive approach to testing all of this in the hopes that slowing down this rather disturbing new surge in the number of new cases. Wolf . Ben wedeman reporting from italy. In england, the british Prime Minister Boris Johnson says the situation in the city of manchester is grave but hes facing resistance from manchesters mayor. Cnns Selma Abdulaziz explains. Wolf, the mayor of manchester is in an extraordinary standoff with bPrime Minister Boris Johnson, refused to raise the covid alert level of the city to high, the top tier. The mayors argument is a, he disagrees with the Prime Ministers strategy. He says that small limited regional lockdowns will not work and he is advocating for a nationwide lockdown instead. Second part of his argument is if Prime Minister Boris Johnson insists on his strategy, this is what the mayor says, he needs to provide the economic package necessary to support businesses. Now weve spoke on it one local mp to says he expects talks between the authorities of manchester and the government of Prime Minister Boris Johnson to resume on monday, but while all of this volleying goes on infection rates continue to rise. At current rates manchester hospitals will run out of beds in a matter of weeks. Salma abdulaziz. In china mass testing of millions of people. Cnn correspondent selena wang has more. Reporter wolf, china tested more than 10 Million People for covid19 in less than a week. This testing was in response to a dozen locally transmitted cases located in a northeastern city in china. The cluster is linked to two dog workers. They got the ct scans wasnt disinfected properly which led to infections. Before this latest flareup, china hadnt reported a single locally transmitted case since midaugust. Weve seen china use the playbook book with clusters where the city goes no wartime mode with mass testing, Contact Tracing and restrictions. Beijing is concerned about this particular outbreak even just a handful of cases in qingdo, coming after the golden week holiday, more than half a billion people in china were traveling at the same time.
