The u. S. Reached the 1 million case mark. Another 42 days to hit 2 million cases in early june. Took just 27 days after that that we crossed the 3 million mark and that was only two weeks ago. You can see there is an acceleration on the senate floor today, Mitch Mcconnell announced that republicans are going to be proposing 105 billion to reopen schools in their next Coronavirus Relief plan. He also supported another round of direct payments to families, but time is quickly running out for millions of americans. In an interview with npr today, dr. Anthony fauci does not support a mask mandate but urged consistent messaging from the white house in support of masks. I was very pleased to see the president wearing a mask and tweeting about masks the Vice President does not consistently so i think weve turned a corner were on the road of a consistent message the problem with mandates is then you have to enforce them and then you get into the problem. I have trust in the American People that if we put a strong emphasis on the importance of wearing masks, that we will come around and do that joining me now is my coanchor for the next two hours, katy tur. That answer by dr. Fauci is why hes the most trusted person in the virus right now. You know, it was a factual statement. It was not a politically charged statement. It was optimistic. He was filled with praise, and an acknowledgment on the mandate which it was to me, its why this guy is so good at this and why the politicians should get out of his way he speaks clearly he admits when he doesnt know something. Hes a scientist and he has a long resume and a history of fighting Infectious Diseases so i totally agree with you, chuck. It is we are just over 100 days until the election. So what were starting to see is a ramping up of election related events this hour, joe biden is in delaware to deliver remarks on the economy. The speech will be focused on child care as well as care givers for the elderly and people with disabilities its the third part of bidens larger economic Recovery Plan which hes been rolling out in a series of events over the past two weeks and also because its an Election Year we see Vice President mike pence in South Carolina where hes participating in a roundtable event on reopening schools a top priority for the Trump Administration ahead of novembers election. This year this evening hell speak in charleston at a Campaign Event for republican congressional candidate nancy mace and tonight will mark the return of President Trumps Coronavirus Briefings. The president announced yesterday that he wants the briefings to largely focus on Vaccine Development going forward. Its unclear which members of the Coronavirus Task force are going to participate its also unclear if the president is going to use this time for de facto Campaign Speeches as hes done with other official White House Events in recent weeks it looks like, chuck, what were seeing is Vice President pence doing a lot of the traveling a lot of the groundwork of campaigning in these areas the president needs on the issues he needs while the president stays at the white house and uses the bully pulpit of the White House Briefing room or of the rose garden to spread his campaign message. Were going to see what we see tonight and how the president comports himself youre right about mike pence. Hes in charge of the campaign constituency outreach, if you will the specific constituency groups that the Party Operatives know they have to engage. They know that donald trump doesnt have the patience for it on that score, mike pence does as we look ahead to that Coronavirus Briefing this evening, the context here is important. One of President Trumps top advisers Kellyanne Conway told nbc news she was advocating for more briefings not to keep the public informed about the virus but because she thinks it will help the president s poll numbers his Approval Rating on the pandemic was higher when he was at the podium. 51 in march i just think the people want to hear from the president of the United States. Doesnt have to be daily doesnt have to be for two hours. But in my view, it has to be public approval of the president s handling of this crisis did indeed go up when he began appearing regularly at the briefings, but they began to slide by early april, even before his nowinfamous comments about injecting disinfectant the decline was beginning while he was doing these briefings for more were joined by carol lee at the white house were getting a lot of different is this really going to be a Coronavirus Briefing where we see the doctors and we get sort of reports about logistics and some important graphs or is this going to be the freewheeling President Trump . Well, what were told, chuck, is that its going to be, or at least the plan, and the caveat that this could change, is that its going to be the president alone. So sort of a oneman show. Not necessarily what were used to seeing when we hear the phrase Coronavirus Task force briefings where you have a number of medical experts and others who appear with the president. Were told this is going to be the president alone. Thats the plan for now. And the goal is for him to focus squarely on the coronavirus pandemic and to outline how the administration is responding and its all designed to try to course correct as you heard kel a Kellyanne Conway say he hasnt been necessarily out in front on this crisis, and this is designed to try to get him to show some leadership. An Administration Official told us he wants to be out there telling this story so, you know, the president , however, sees this as an opportunity to get a lot of attention. He cited the reason for this as the these briefings got a lot of high ratings. So that gives you a little sense of where his head is at on this. But he is the idea, at least from the president s aides, is that hell go out, do something rather focused and sustained on coronavirus, not too long. Whether hell do that is the big question, though, chuck. Well, thats what well be watching we shall see the country is demanding a course correction. Part one of that would be the president appearing at the virus briefings. Lets see if he has anything to say beyond status quo. Carol lee at the white house, thank you. And katy, over to you. Chuck, that graphic we just showed where it showed the president s Approval Ratings were going down when he was midway through those Coronavirus Briefings, before the bleach comment. Its indicative of how risky this is for the president. Heres the graphic right now hes never been one to stay on message. And right now his poll numbers, as you well know, are so bad when it comes to his handling of the virus because hes been all over the map the other day we saw he tweeted about wearing a mask talking about wearing a mask in an interview and then last night, we saw a photo of him at his hotel with a number of other republican lawmakers, not wearing a mask so keeping him on message is always difficult lets go now to capitol hill where negotiations are under way for anew Coronavirus Relief package. Today House Minority leader Kevin Mccarthy told cnbc he does not think a bill will pass by the end of this month. That means the expanded Unemployment Benefits millions of americans rely on to make ends meet, to pay their bills, buy groceries, pay rent will expire without a replacement in place. Also on the hill today, congressman matt gaetz is calling for liz cheney to step down cheney drew the ire of the House Freedom caucus for her support of dr. Fauci and her support of todd mccutchery who unsuccessfully challenged kentucky congressman Thomas Massey in his primary last month. Joining us for more is nbcs kasie hunt on capitol hill i want to get both of these things from you. Lets start with where we stand on this relief package mccarthy does not sound positive about it what are the negotiations that youre hearing about well, katy, theres still quite a bit of work to do first within the Republican Party itself mark meadows and Steve Mnuchin are up here actually probably right about now heading into lunch with republican senators to try and hammer some more of this out there are divisions between the administration and Senate Republicans. Of course, anything thats actually going to get done has to have sign off from Mitch Mcconnell and the Senate Republicans here before it heads over to the house. And that, of course, is where bipartisan negotiations come in. And those are set to start in earnest. They have been going on behind the scenes but well have a meeting on the hill this afternoon between the House Speaker nancy pelosi, chuck schumer, the democratic leader and meadows and mnuchin to see what their lines in the sand may be on this and on the republican side, the payroll tax still a huge problem. Thats something the president has kept demanding and that, frankly, republicans here on the hill have pushed back against. Its very expensive. Some argue it could jeopardize the solvency of the Social Security fund. In the case of controversy, it may not be the right policy prescription you only benefit from a payroll tax cut if you get a paycheck and thats the issue that so Many American families are confronting right now. They dont have that so those are just some of the fissures right now its hard to see at this point how we get it resolved and those benefits for Many Americans run out at the end of the month. What can you tell us about the Freedom Caucus going after liz cheney, one of the few women republican women in congress and someone who is seen as a future leader in that chamber in particular . Yeah, there are only a handful of women in the Republican Party on the house side and liz cheney passed up the chance to run for senate in her home state of wyoming in large part because she has been talked about as a future possible minority leader or even some day a speaker of the house she found herself on the receiving end of criticism and faced down criticism from about a half dozen members of the Freedom Caucus thats, of course, you could say most conservative, i think most protrump is the best way to characterize those folks, including congressman matt gaetz and Thomas Massey. She pushed back against them they criticized her for speaking well of dr. Fauci in public. She tweeted back in may that he was somebody that we absolutely needed to listen to because of his expertise. And the reality is thats a reflection our polling shows of where the broad swaths of americans are. And certainly where more mainstream republicans and even some of the most conservative republicans in the senate are saying that we should be listening to dr. Fauci so i dont think shes out of step broadly with her party, but the Freedom Caucus didnt agree. And then they also have a spat about Thomas Massey. He is sort of a fire brand libertarian congressman. Youll remember he tripped up the vote on the first coronavirus package when he drove from kentucky and insisted all these members of congress fly back to vote on it and the president called him a third rate grandstander. Said he should be thrown out of the party. Cheney responded by saying that masseys problem wasnt her, liz cheney masseys problem was the president of the United States massey won his primary in june with no problems but certainly some tense moments in that its the first republican Conference Meeting in quite some time being held virtually because of coronavirus, katy. Kasie hunt on capitol hill, thank you. Chuck, isnt it so interesting that those members were going after cheney for her support of anthony fauci, her support of the man that the president says is not his political opponent, that theres no Oppo Research going on against him. And that he gets along with so well its to me, this is a preview. Theres a lot of these small little skirmishes happening on the right between the trump wing of the party and the nontrump wing of the party. We saw it in the texas state party. They just had a basically a revolution and now allen west, a former congressman from florida, is suddenly in charge because the complaint was essentially, oh, you know, youre not conservative enough. Youre not boisterous enough or playing the trump game enough. This, to me, thats how i view all of these skirmishes. Youre starting to see these as this election gets closer, this stuff is going to get more acute and well see more of it play out in the public not helpful to republicans on the ballot this year that this party fracture that clearly is there and coming is starting to get more public every day. Just something to keep an eye on later this hour, were going to hear from democratic president ial candidate joe biden who is set to deliver a Campaign Speech on the third pillar of his plan and any day we expect to find out who the former vp will select last night joy reid pressed him on whether hell select a woman of color and joe biden gave us a little more to chew on are you committed to naming a black woman as your Vice President ial running mate . I am not committed to naming any but the people ive named and among them, there are four black women. So that decision is under way right now. Joining us is nbcs mike memoli in newcastle, delaware. The discipline that biden had not to say yes, joy reid, not to sort of agree, perhaps make the interviewer happy by saying, yes. That is whats going to happen but he named the final four. Do you feel confidence that we know who the final four among africanamerican women that are in this final grouping well, chuck, it didnt take long after those comments from the former vipts f eer vice pre one to walk those comments back a little bit to say he wasnt being definitive in the final number that final four. If you look at four, that does require taking one of the bigger names, bigger africanamerican female names out of the mix. Theyre not willing to do that just yet the way to think about this is the nonbiden portion of the vetting process is coming to an end. There are some final pieces that his team is working on before it does, as biden himself talked about, get to the presentation from his vetting team to him and then eventually some inperson interviews from the form eer vi president with those potential picks. Personal chemistry is everything i want to piggyback on the conversation about the fissures within the Republican Party because one of the stories weve seen, especially this month on the democratic side, is how joe biden is using this economic plan to really bring the Party Together were seeing really common unity. And another story this month, breaking news just now from the Biden Campaign they are deploying that financial advantage now as President Trump wants to use the Briefing Room again as a campaign bully pulpit. The Biden Campaign after spending 15 million on the air over the last five weeks they plan to spend 15 million this week alone in six battleground states for those interested in a certain game on thursday night between the defending world champions and the 27time world champions, the Biden Campaigns release note that the buy is going to include a lot of time on cable, including some of those Major League Baseball games which we know will have, i think, a lot of eyeballs as baseball returns to our tv screens, if not the ability for us to go to the park, chuck. Theres no dont be subtle dont be subtle. Its for the nationals and the yankees. A preview of whatever world series were going to end up with its possible thats the thats what happens if they can somehow finish this season i think youre right tv eyeballs for that one will be big later this week. Mike memoli in delaware for us thank you. Katy, over to you. And chicago is preparing for a possible rush of federal agents this week as President Trump looks to make good on his plan to crack down on violence there further raising eyebrows about the use of federal forces for local Law Enforcement. Illinois senator Tammy Duckworth joins us right after the break also later in the hour, what pennsylvania is doing to prevent a bad cop fired from one Police Department to get hired by another.

Tribune broke the news that the department of Homeland Security plans to deploy about 150 federal agents to chicago this week this follows a pledge from President Trump to tamp down violence in american cities. In spite of growing outrage over the use of federal force and acttactics being used. Lori lightfull is calling for the immediate removal of the dhs Rapid Deployment units from their teams. Today kay leagigh ooeeigleighmcy downplayed it. Do they have the skill set whether its in chicago or quelling unrest in portland . First, let me add they havent been sent to chicago these dhs officials are currently in portland protecting a courthouse we do believe they are the right individuals for that, as does 40 usc 1315, the United States code joining us is democratic senator Tammy Duckworth of illinois its very interesting there hearing that answer from the White House Press secretary because it dovetails with some actions by this president where he says hes going to do something and then it never happens. What do folks on the ground tell you about what dhs is going to do in chicago or not well, my message to dhs and to President Trump is dont even think about it frankly what im hearing on the ground is that they are looking to send i. C. E. Troops, i. C. E. Officers, again, dressed in these camouflage uniforms. Nobody knows who they are. They just have police generically on their clothing, unmarked vehicles into our city streets under the pretext of Human Trafficking is what im hearing. Regardless, dont even think about it if you want to do something about gun violence call Mitch Mcconnell and ask him to pass universal background checks and higher penalties for straw purchasers of weapons. Do something lets have that vote it would pass the house and the senate senator, what do you wouldnt it in your mind, whdhs to be sending agents into cities like this . What would have to be the circumstance in your mind for this to be an appropriate action well, they are sending them to protect statues, to traitors who raised arms against our union. Come on. Thats not appropriate i think that local Law Enforcement do local Law Enforcements job. If the president cares really cares about gun violence in chicago, then he needs to do two things call Mitch Mcconnell and lets have a vote on the floor of the senate on universal background checks and then lets put more funding into programs for Community Based programs such as opioid addiction treatment, afterschool programs for kids lets put more money into our Public School systems and social services that would help us in chicago more than sending in i. C. E. Or dhs. Senator, i want to move and turn the page and talk about joe bidens economic plan. His latest version which is the latest iteration which is about child care its about elderly care. You and i have talked about the issue of child care and paid parental leave in the past theres a measure of paid parental leave included in this plan 12 weeks how is he going to differentiate his plan from what the Trump Administration is going to try and tout on the campaign trail which is that they were able to get a version of paid leave for federal workers passed through congress the first time thats ever happened well, but that was a bill that was pushed on them by democrats. And they passed it reluctantly i will tell you that the trump plan for child care that was pushed forward by ivanka trump, for example, and marco rubio had to rob your Social Security to pay for parental for leave. So basically youd have to rob from your retirement in order to take time off to take care of a loved one or your child. Thats not an acceptable alternative. I dont want to get ahead of Vice President bidens announcement, but i can tell you, as a working mom, we as a nation desperately need child care i, for example, have been told that my daughters Public School is saying you can either bring your daughter to school two days a week or four days at home, five hours of online instruction a day. How does a parent go back to work if we dont make sure that we provide for some kind of child care this is one of the things thats hobbling our economy when we compare it to, you know, other developed nations. And i think that the biden plan really reflects him having been a single dad with two young boys he gets it because he was there as the single parent trying to hold down a job and take care of his kids during a really difficult time in his life i should say it passed the senate, the republican version or bipartisan version of the plan was kyrsten sinema. When is the last time you talked to joe biden probably a couple of weeks ago. You know, i am really encouraging him to continue to show america that he has the empathy and the resilience to help us recover from these multiple crises that President Trump has led us into, whether its the pandemic, whether its our economy needing to grow again. Im so glad to see that the plan is coming forward here in just a few minutes from the Biden Campaign Vice President biden will be talking about the need for child care we cant grow our economy or get back to work without widespread testing and without child care senator duckworth, if you turned over a whole bunch of financial records and a whole bunch of stuff to the Vice President bidens campaign, would you tell us . Well, i released my tax records when i ran for the senate so all that stuff is already out there. You know, i released my medical records even so, you know, look let that process move along on its own. Hes going to pick the right person to help him run and serve this country and i will continue to serve it any way that i can because i believe strongly in a biden presidency if he said, tammy, go sweep floors in a v. A. Hospital, id go do that because we have that many crises in front of us we have to address. Whether its the pandemic, whether its our economy, environmental crisis, the racism that exists in our criminal Justice System donald trump has led us into a whole bunch of messes he has to dig us out of and i believe joe biden is the man to do that. Senator Tammy Duckworth, outlining what say very, very long todo list no matter how you look tat always appreciate you coming on and sharing your perspective with us. Katy, over to you. And as florida struggles with an alarming surge in coronavirus cases, 10,000 new cases yesterday alone. The states Largest Teachers Union is suing the governor over his push to send students back to the classroom next month. Saying he needs, quote, a reality check. Youre watching msnbc.

One up the toughest stains with 50 more cleaning power than liquid detergent. Any further questions . Uh uh nope one up the power of liquid with new tide power pods. Here are the facts on the coronavirus pandemic as we know them at this hour. A Court Hearing over atlantas mask mandate has been delayed. Georgia Governor Brian Kemp is suing to stop Keisha Lance Bottoms from enforcing mask wearing. The judge has recused herself. We do not know why she decided to do that but that is the reason for the delay. With President Trump scheduled to hold his first coronavirus news briefing to the public in three months later today, a new nbc News Survey Monkey poll found 68 of adults say they trust their governors to decide when businesses should reopen only 26 said they trusted the president to make that same decision californias High School Sports are being delayed by three months due to the outbreak there. The organization that runs High School Sports across the state said they do not plan on having games of any High School Sports until december katy, its interesting im a bit of a College Sports nut. Florida High School Sports is a big deal theyve been delaying that decision in the state of florida for a while. In washington d. C. , theyve already come up with a proposed, how would we shift all High School Sports to begin in january type of thing, too but this is a big one. California making that decision. That will be a domino, i think, for a lot of State High School athletic associations. I think you could be right. And, obviously, its a blow. But when you consider how you play a lot of these sports, football, soccer, there is a lot of contact theres a lot of heavy breathing. And its one of those risks a lot of these officials are just saying its just not worth taking lets delay it obviously, once the winter rolls around in some areas, its harder to play certain sports outside. Well see how that ends up panning out. Down in florida, the Largest Teachers Union is suing Governor Ron Desantis and the States Education leaders over the plan to reopen schools next month the state argues the governor is violating the states constitutional mandate to keep schools safe and secure as they try to reopen while the pandemic still rages down there in florida. Joining us from ft. Lauderdale is Kerry Sanders what else can you tell us about this lawsuit the commissioner of education for the state of florida who, in this case, is really speaking for the governor, says that a lawsuit is not needed. But as you take a look at the classrooms in florida, these are the empty classrooms where they are yet to figure out how they are even going to bring students in, how far apart the desks need to be. How they can bring a busload of kids in. One district said its going to take seven runs to do what would normally be one un add all of that in it brings into question the not only logistics of getting kids into the school but what teachers are concerned about is the health of the 140,000 members of the Largest Teachers Union. In the lawsuit, they have described what they talk about is a discrepancy that the state even begins with where they say this discrepancy begins with the data reported by the county and state making it even more difficult for them to make a determination about School Reopenings and safety. Miamidades new normal dashboard reports an average Positivity Rate of 27. 05 . Almost several percent higher than the average reported by the state. And so there is a general distrust by the Teachers Union as to the facts and figures even being provided by the state. And that is just sort of the foundation of where they begin with the sense that it is not safe they go on in the lawsuit to point out that this emergency order to open the schools is being brought with severe pressure from the state. Essentially to physically reopen the schools or face the loss of critical funding for public education. This threat, they say, pits students and safety against virtually every needed funds for schools. This is what the president of the union told us earlier today. Kerry sanders, thank you very much chuck, this is what happens when theres not trust with your elected leaders. When theres not consistent messaging. There hasnt been consistent messaging from the federal government, from a lot of these governors about how severe this virus is, what its doing. So when you do a thing like reopening schools and you potentially put so many young kids lives at risk or the families back home at risk, there are going to be a lot of people who say, i dont care what numbers youre giving us. I just dont trust you because you havent been truthful about this in the past look. This all goes back to our original sin of our inability to get testing up and running faster and even now because we dont have the technology for rapid testing. Okay some places, do but we dont have it widespread enough. Nobody can make any of these opening decisions as safe as they want to and i think this is the problem is that we realize that just simply having a testing protocol is actually not going to work now so if a testing protocol doesnt work and we dont have the contact tracers, thats where this feels like its breaking down. On the merits, thats the problem. Thats what the federal government has to fill in. Weve been talking about that for months here. I want to show folks a live look here this is the podium set for joe biden in delaware. In just about 15 minutes, hes going to be rolling out another pillar of his 775 billion economic plan. We will bring that to you as soon as it starts. They want to focus almost every event they do with a connection to rebuilding the economy.

After eight weeks of nationwide protests, new polling shows black and white voters are closer together when it comes to recognizing the longstanding problems that disproportionately impact people of color in the United States. Nearly three quarterses of americans believe that Race Relations of either very or fairly bad right now that is up 16 points since february while a whopping 56 believe that American Society overall is racist that include a majority of whites, by the way its an agreement that can be seen across every Demographic Group with the exception of just republicans. Despite the dire report card on race theres positive news 75 of voters are encouraged that america is finally working to address issues of racism and inequality katy, throughout this poll you see that there is more acknowledgment than ever on the situation, but you also see that figuring out a solution, that is still going to be divisive for instance, confederate monuments was basically evenly divided about what to do, completely get rid of or nutit put in a museum. Theres unification happening around acknowledging the problem but where you still see the divides is in figuring out some solutions. Listen, its a good first step, and that tenminute video of george floyd really was an awakening for a lot of americans across all colors and creeds in this country seeing that the problem does still exist and is still out there. Just because you dont see it doesnt mean it isnt happening. Youre right about not having a coalition on how to solve it, but recognizing there is a problem is always the first step and we will see where we go and trying to address this in the future but again, good first step also pennsylvania has a new system to help identify and weed out Police Officers with a history of complaints. Part of this is stemming from the george floyd incident. Governor tom wolf recently signed into law a database that compiles any charges against an officer or civil or ethical complaints, disciplinary actions and the circumstances in which an officer left their Previous Police force pennsylvanias attorney general says the database will be called the rose registry in honor of antoine rose, the second and unarmed black teenager who was killed by an East Pittsburgh Police Officer two years ago roses mother had pushed for a database of problematic officers that she said would have prevented her sons shooter from ever being hired joining us is Pennsylvania State representative chris raab. He a cosponsor of the database law. How much of a problem is it that one officer will be fired from one Police Department only to get rehired somewhere else its a real problem and its the norm. And if you are hiring, you are responsible for hiring someone and you are a chief of police or a mayor. You are flying blind because you dont have access to their personnel files. You can only confirm they worked there and in what capacity and for how long anything else, you do not have access to. Weve created a law that creates a database into which all personnel files of all Law Enforcement officers have access for any prospective Law Enforcement employer which is bigger than just police because it also includes sheriffs, constables, state troopers, Law Enforcement agents associated with the attorney general. Capitol police so its 1200 Law Enforcement agencies across our commonwealth are you expecting to find any legal pushback from groups that represent Police Officers . Any unions that might say that this is unfair and might try to sue you over it . Well, the deal we made to get this passed, and it passed unanimously in both houses which is amazing because this is our state legislature is the largest fulltime legislature in the country. It has republican majorities in both houses. And in four years, 840 bills sent to the Judiciary Committee on the house side and 150 being voted on, zero came out dealing with Police Accountability or Police Violence until just five weeks ago. So now that its law, the real the god is in the details. Well see what regulations can be made to bolster this law to make sure folks are compliant and also empower municipalities to make the transparency and accountability even greater than the state law itself obviously, this is very helpful to the state of pennsylvania and to Police Departments across the state of pennsylvania number one, i assume this will be public so that if somebody in if a Police Department in ohio wants to look at the pennsylvania database, to look at somebody, it will be available to them. But let me ask you this. How do you envision do you hope this becomes copycatted and becomes essentially the beginning of a National Database absolutely. Im hoping that this can be a national model, that other states can use and when we have a Critical Mass of databases, and we see what best practices are and we see what the regulations are, this is something that congress can use. By the way, the center for policing equity who has been on msnbc a number of times, had a lot to do with the formation of this bill. And he and other stakeholders are fighting for this on the National Level so i definitely see that and also, this database will be accessible to any Law Enforcement employer anywhere in the country if there are Law Enforcement agents in pennsylvania who flee philadelphia where i am and go to cleveland or washington, d. C. Theyll have access to this database a greater push towards transparency Pennsylvania State representative chris raa brks thank you for joining us we appreciate your time, sir chuck, over to you its like a credit check we have a check.
