Around the white house actually did urge the administration to take this pandemic more seriously, but in the end they did not. Welcome to friday. It is meet the press daily, and im chuck todd is just 46 days until the election the first polls are now opening for early voting in fact, these are perfects from one polling site in alexandria, virginia, of course, the Northern Virginia suburbs are intensely interested in this election people were lining up around the block, socially distanced, mind you, wearing masks, but a glaring reminder were in the home stretch of this election amid a raging pandemic and as theyre starting to vote, the white house is dealing with the fallout of yet another official, public lig calling the president unfit for high office and more unfit to deal with this virus. There will be a briefing at the white house at 2 00 p. M. We dont know about what exactly. We know later hell be headed to minnesota. This comes as a former aide on the White House Coronavirus task force olivia troye is slamming the white house. Troye painted a disturbing portrait of a president unable to focus, obsessed with his own reelection, and at war with his own staff. She appeared in a video recounting her experience on the task force she describes herself as a lifelong republican who is now supporting joe biden. Towards the middle of february we knew it wasnt a matter of if covid would become a big pandemic here in the United States. It was a matter of when. But the president didnt want to hear that because his biggest concern was we were in an election year. He doesnt actually care about anyone else other than himself he made a statement that was very striking. I never forgot it. It pretty much defined who he was. When we were in a task force meeting, the president said maybe this covid thing is a good thing. I dont like shaking hands with people i dont like to shake hands with these disgusting people. The president dismissed her they released her farewell note doll leagues in this she praises them for their commitment to do the right thing, but troye joins a very long list of white house advisers who have gone public with skaging criticisms of the sitting president , a list that now includes the president s former chief of staff, communications adviser, former secretary of state, and we could go on. Those are just the big fish titles the white house has attacked all of them for speaking out naturally, but with just 46 days to go, the white house isnt just as war with former top officials, theyre fighting with current top officials as well. The president publicly rejected the testimony of his own who said russia was interfering in the election that came hours after he rejected his own cdc director on the effectiveness of masks and the timing of the vaccine. I would add one thing to redfield and ray both are sevg rving on their jo. Not everyone would serve through 2021, but through those positions they would joining me now is monica alba, also joining us is Ashley Parker shes also an msnb monica, lets start with is this just the daily hes looking back and forth with the press, news cycle narrative and hes doing it a little earlier because hes going to minnesota and because its the jewish new year tonight, or is there something more to this thats exactly what it seems like he did speak for more than 90 minutes last night in wisconsin. Hes scheduled to do the same thing tonight in minnesota, but the president has liked to come out and respond to thinks more directly now, ostensibly these briefings are supposed to be news conferences that focus on the coronavirus and the pandemic itself, but as weve seen so often, those normally derail and turn into something that sounds a lot more like a campaign rally. We erie told thats what we can expect today the president will be responding to those mike pence says they simply dont know her, shes a disgruntled ploy. When pressed on what she was fired, dismissed, is there anything they can point to there, chief of staff mark meadows said he didnt want to speak to Personnel Matters in the letter the white house released and the letter she said she sent to everybody praising the task force, what i thought stood out is it was addressed to the Task Force Members it wasnt addressed to the president. She is saying she had a good experience with those people and some expert an people who had the agencies, but not with the president. Hes been the one to say often he doesnt like shaking hands. Hes a note germaphobe hes somebody whos made those comments on the record so her suggestion he made those behind the scenes dont strain the credulity of others. Thats something you would think would resonate more deeply, chuck. And, ashley, this idea that theyre basically at war with themselves, we just got talking about miss troye there and what happened there i want to play the chris wray sound bite and follow it up with Donald Trumps critique here, and i want to ask you something on the other side of it. Take a listen. We certainly have seen very active, very active efforts by the russians to influence our election in 2020 through what i would call more if maligned foreign influence side of things, social media, use of proxies, state media, online journals, et cetera, an effort to both sow divisiveness and discord, and i think the Intelligence Community has assessed this publicly to primarily denigrate Vice President biden and what the russians see as kind of an antirussian establishment. Those are very sort of dry nonpartisan review of what he thought the threat was heres the president s tweet on wray chris, you dont see a threat from china or russia, russia, russia. Its solicited counterballoted scam check it out this is something i made reference to before i introduced you guy. Chris wray, dr. Robert redfield, theyre the type of administrations that overlap and neither have seemed to buck tl way that clearly a political appointee would have. Thats right. And another thing from recent comments is those are things made under oath in congressional testimony, so you have people who are not political, who are testifying under oath to congress, being contradicted by a president who is known for lying, who is known for mistruths, who is known for misstating the reality as he wishes it were, not as it is so when you have him come out against Christopher Wray and the tweet in which he was doing a lot of work, not this undermining wray but calling into question the Election Results if he doesnt like what they are and going after dr. Redfield and saying his cdc director made a mistake under oath, i think most people who have been following this president are going to be inclined to believe these career officials testifying under oath who do not have a record of lice and mistruths. Monica, i assume there will be somebody who asks a question. I think one of the more if the woodward tapes seem to be jawdropping to some people, the news from the foia request that we all got our hands on having to do with the Postal Service was on the verge of preparing to send six masks to every american hhs was apparently behind this idea the Postal Service was really go, and the white house ka boshd it this seems to be as damaging a potential coronavirus story as there has yet with this administration. Its incredibly significant, chuck. It really embodies this struggle the president claims he didnt want to alarm anybody or raise panic, but quashing Something Like this that now Health Experts say really could have potentially saved thousands of lives, wearing a mask, something that is so simple that the president himself resisted for so long, that they didnt want to do it that they were worried that people were going to take something further away, like maybe i need to take this more seriously. The fact that that was a priority speaks volumes. As you mentioned, the woodward tapes are all documented we dont have to worry about what the president said. He downplayed the virus publicly and told woodward he meant to do that the briefings the white house is now holding, he continues to question the efficacy of masks you dont see dr. Fauci or birx in the Briefing Room instead you have his new expert scott atlas. His top Health Experts continue to speak out in different ways and not necessarily alongside the president , chuck. I have to say when you start to connect the dots on the new administration timeline, throw in the woodward tapes, and throw in the post Office Decision where they decided to scrap the plan here, it is a potentially chilling indictment against the handling of the virus response just as we add more dots every day. Monica alba, Ashley Parker, thank you for getting us started zoo were going to turn to minnesota. Both candidates will be in minnesota today. Before i get started with either one of you, i want to set up we heard from both the president last night and joe biden basically talking about their two styles of campaigning. I want to get this out there and ask you if you see sort of a similar contrast today as we saw yesterday. Heres the president and joe biden. Its the weirdest thing ive ever seen. Cnn is going, oh, this is so beautiful. Its not beautiful there are cars in the parking lot. What a deal, ill tell you what a deal. He continues to think masks dont matter very much, although, he says it, and then he has these large gatherings with everybody around and no masks on and its extremely dangerous. You know, its interesting how often the president s campaigns are covered via does he follow protocols or not is that how its covered locally . Reporter its usually a piece of it, chuck you look at the coverage of the news rallies its part of it. No sitting president has ever viftd, and here in minnesota the mandates are a little loser. Youre not required to wear a mask outside or in any environment. Youre not required at all you wont see much of that tonight. The framework when the president comes to town remember, hes doing these rallies in much smaller communities. He was in la probe, not president bush fayetteville, not charlotte. He can get much more favorable News Coverage because its the president with the air force behind him its not discussed the way we do where youre seeing things were told not to do. I want to ask you about a campaign strategy. Is the lawandorder messaging totally gone, that theyve decided polls certainly show it didnt move the needle. Have you seen the evidence it doesnt count the president , because he can tweet whatever that the messaging is now all about the economy . Reporter look. I watch a lot of television when i travel for these stories if campaign ads in supermarkets are about the economy. And you have the protest message. The protest message is out and nonmessage is in. There are lots of Trump Supporters here in today already for the rally for whom the protest rally doesnt connect. They dont see it in communities like this one or more Rural Communities where they live. They try to amp up the vote in Rural Communities and smaller towns to try to squeeze as much support as they can out of these communities where theyre not seeing the images that are being broadcast on fox news and other places theyre not seen in their communities. The strategies are discordant. What comes out of the president s mouth is very important. Thats why you always separate the two hey, mike memoli, this is a story we touched on first read today. Hillary clinton didnt listen to the bedwetters. Hey, get to michigan it turned out to hand wringers, bedwetters, whatever you want to refer to them as, they were onto something as far as michigan and wisconsin the Biden Campaign seems to be overresponsive to the critiques. Hes going to minnesota chl the data has not been backed up that minnesota is a competitive state. Theres no poll that shows it at less than nine, i believe, in the last month. Reporter yeah, chuck two things one, if you look at this as a battleground market, hes getting some Media Attention in a very important part of the state for democrats. It used to be one of the big turnout engines. Less so for hillary clinton. Its one of the reasons the state was as close as it was we saw 60 go down to 50 and barely 50 around the area for hillary clinton. But its also bleeding into a much closer battleground state chuck, we got a sense of why biden is here from comments he made to reporters as he was about to fly home which has been overlooked where he flatly said i will win scranton. He took credit for the fact that they did well in areas like scranton and places like here in minnesota where we are because joe biden was on the ticket there have been a lot of bed wetters in the party, a lot of skepticism they always felt joe biden is the kind of democrat who can speak to these kinds of democrats. This is the democratic farmer labor party. Hes going through a union hall here today to speak to those, and with a bit more populist appeal you heard him yesterday compare this to scranton versus park avenue thats the message that they think is going to work suedable voters which they believe there is, chuck. Mike, speaking of travel, i was hearing some questions this morni morning. I was doing my own rounds of radio shows and things like that in arizona there was a lot of head scratching about wheres joe biden. Basically both arizona and nevada, youll find democrats wishing the ticket was there more often what do you hear about the western travel of this ticket . Reporter well, chuck, a lot of the travel is being voted by the early voting calendar. In minnesota it gets to the early voting but were starting to see the campaign get into a rhythm, two to three battleground states a week youre not going to see what the president is doing, but theyre going to have a presence in all of these places. It may not be more than once the entire Fall Campaign to the chagrin of activists and local candidates on the ground. Thats what im wondering he might hit everything once it might be curious which states hit two or three Garrett Haake and mike memoli, thanks for getting us started. Lost in the mail a plan that the health and Human Services department wanted, a plan the Postal Service was ready to implement and the white house scrapped how many lives could that mission have saved. Later joe biden has the lead in many battleground states, but the concern for the republicans might be whats happening down the battle lthy . Yup, on it there too. You may think youre doing all you can to manage type 2 diabetes and heart disease. But could your medication do more to lower your heart risk . Jardiance can reduce the risk of cardiovascular death for adults who also have known heart disease. So, it could help save your life from a heart attack or stroke. And it lowers a1c. Jardiance can cause serious side effects including dehydration, genital yeast or urinary tract infections, and sudden kidney problems. Ketoacidosis is a serious side effect that may be fatal. A rare, but lifethreatening bacterial infection in the skin of the perineum could occur. Stop taking jardiance and call your doctor right away if you have symptoms of this bacterial infection, ketoacidosis, or an allergic reaction and dont take it if youre on dialysis or have severe kidney problems. Taking jardiance with a sulfonylurea or insulin may cause low blood sugar. Lower a1c and lower risk of a fatal heart attack . On it with jardiance. Ask your doctor about jardiance. Welcome back the u. S. Has recorded 6. 2 million coronavirus cases and almost 200,000 now theyre an every day reality. After a wasted summer, returns to work and school all happens in the shadow of the virus and apparently it did not have to be this way months ago the white house scrapped to send masks to every house in america according to internal documents that have been released to the public thanks to a freedom of information act request. Instead the masks were sent to nonprofits and federal agencies we do not know why the plan was thrown out, but we know it was around the time President Trump publicly resisted it i want to bring in medical correspondent vin gupta. This one was one that just hit hard because it was like, my goodness, the message this could have sent the country, not just in sending the actually masks, but the government sending you the masks. Dr. Gupta, do you think you can quantify how many lives this lost chuck, you nailed it with that comment i think its the message it sends thats the lost opportunity. In terms of quantification, everyone is concerned with models theres Critical Evidence that 70 of the lives could have been saved that have since been lost since we had an early shutdown two months earlier lives would have been saved. If we added masks on top this is what i can tell you if we adopted universal masking right now, something the president 48 hours ago continues to make fun of, questions the efficacy of, if we adopted that right now, we could potentially save up to 42,000 lives by des 1. So this is serious this isnt going away. And on the west coast at least, chuck, were talking not just about masks, but wellfitting highquality masks thats the issue its not just put a piece of clothed on your nose and mouth whats the fitting here . We cant have that conversation. Actually, you wrought that up i wanted to get to that later. Lets stick with that topic. Youre on the west coast, dealing with patients. The concern ive read about is you breathe in this terrible air. Its unavoidable even if you stain your house at times. It hurts your lungs. All of a sudden f you catch covid, do you become like somebody whos had an underlying condition. Is essentially living in the west coast an underlying condition that could make covid worse . Thats a really good analogy, chuck. Its essentially correct, yes. What we know now we have data this is not just my opinion. The data suggests that exposure to air pollution does one thing. It actually if youre exposed to covid19 and your breathing included air, whether from a smoke stack or wildfire, it makes it easy to get infected. Basically it upregulates the enzymes in the body to enter the lung cells and makes it easier if youre infected with covid19 and next to a wildfire, youre more than likely to be seen. This is serious. We dont have the president or his Public Health officials. No ones talking about this. No ones talking about masks they look to me. They ask me, what can you do, stay home, lock yourself up, get Grocery Store deliveries its not right for the tens of millions of people on the west coast. The one thing they ask me, my patients ask me, why dont i have an n95. My response to that is wholly insufficient we just dont have enough. Im was just going to say everybody potentially breathing smoke from these fires, its an n95 mask, right. This is a conversation ive had with many of my colleagues in Public Health theres a group who says its ridiculous to think you can scale n95s theyve 35 as effective they built the act domestically. Lets build their own, make sure theyre high quality not only do you need them. You need them to be well fitted. It takes ten minutes to get fit tested to make sure you have the right size how do you do that for the entire country listen, its a challenge, but were up to the challenge. We need to be big here to say its too difficult. Thats not right for everybody living on the west coast the entire country is dealing with an airborne pandemic. You may say, hey, im in a classroom with children who may be spreading the covid19 asymptomatically, i should have this we should be wrestling with it. If we connect the two, there are a lot of parents who think this online schooling is not working and theres a lot of evidence, i understand it. If everybody were mandatory wearing masks, youd feel more comfortable seeing School Reopens . We know that universal masking will normalize things much more quickly. Thats the key thing the president was trying to discredit the director for he was trying to get the word out. We know vaccines that are the leading candidates are 50 effective essentially than place placeboet. For him to say vaccines are better than masks and he was making fun of Vice President for wearing a mask, thats the tine of disinformation we need from the attorney general who said, hey, doc, i dont have to correct the president. Thats what we need strong leaders to do. Id love for the teachers to have well fitting masks. Theres no way in the near term. Thanks as always for your expertise and your perspective were going to check in with bill fife on capitol hill. Before we go to a break, right now, israelis are having to start the celebration of the jewish new year with a second lockdown order it went into effect a few hours before the observance of roshasana and last when it will hold Prime MinisterBenjamin Netanyahu calls the measure of locking down the country both important and necessary.

Welcome back more than a week after the Senate Republicans said the skinny covid relief failed, they want to pass on something new. Earlier today House Speaker nancy pelosi said theres more of a demand than when the house first passed what they dubbed the h. E. R. O. E. S. Act more than four months ago. Chief of staff mark meadows said yesterday theres a lot of Energy Behind the scenes but would not elaborate on what that meant. Today nancy pelosi was also quiet on the talks lets bring in leanne. Sometimes the lack of comments might be a sign of problem because you didnt have a lot of spitballs being thrown, via the press. Reporter thats absolutely right, chuck ive asked Speaker Pelosi multiple times on the status of her talks with secretary mnuchin, and its a question she refuses to answer, but we know she and mnuchin have spoken at least one time this week what we know of that conversation, that no formal restart of negotiations has come from it because we do know that democratic leader Chuck Schumer has not spoken to mnuchin this week, so a stalemate still persists Speaker Pelosi said on bloomberg just a few minutes ago she waits for them to come to the table. So whats the status of this negotiation . They have come down to 2. 2 trillion as their top line number the administration said theyre willing to go up to 1. 5 trill yub. Thats closer than they have been before, but this idea of state and local money is still a major Sticking Point between the two sides. The democrats are demanding i. The president is categorizing it as a blue state bailout. But theres one thing that has developed this week that might get them to the able airline ceos went to the white house asking, begging for another bailout. Speaker pelosi in her press Conference Today also said the airlines are going to need more assistance, so perhaps that is alone is going to get the people back to the negotiating table and also politics. Theres an election coming up. We know that Speaker Pelosi is hearing from her frontline members and sources told me this week they dont understand why the president is not willing to throw trillions of dollars out into the economy into americans pockets before the election. Theyre just beside themselves perhaps he might think it might be a good idea and might be willing to negotiate again, chuck. I think we know where his instinct is. You cant help but wonder what mark meadows is thinking i want to play something from mich mcconnell hes one name we havent mentioned. He seemed pretty down on the idea of a deal take a listen to what he said yesterday. Short answer, they dont want to get a result before the election because they believe a failure to pass a fourth rescue package will hurt them and help the republicans. I think the americans are sick of it. Question, what does Mitch Mcconnell want does he want to play a role, and if he does, it means theyre near the finish line. Mcconnell has sat on the sidelines, but he wants a deal for the republicans. Theres at least a half a dozen people wo want this money and the legislation, they know the first cares act was smchlg mcconnells pessimism is not good, but he has also sat on the sidelines throughout this entire process, and theres no indication yet, especially when some some in his conference want a small skinny piece of bill he has a lot of divisions he has to deal w chuck. This is ultimately the problem the white house has is the republicans do not theyre the ones not on the same page here compared to the democrats. Leigh ann caldwell, thank you very much. Coming up, were tracking the polls. Another day of Battle Ground polls clogging our inboxes another thing we want to talk about. Stick with us. Here . Nope. Here. When the middle of nowhere. Is somewhere. The allnew chevy trailblazer. My wife and daughter had been killed in an automobile crash, and lying in the bed were my two little boys. I couldnt have imagined what it wouldve been like if i didnt have insurance to cover them immediately and fully. Forty years later, one of those little boys, my son beau, was diagnosed with terminal cancer, given months to live. I cant fathom what would have happened if the Insurance Companies had the power to say, the last few months, youre on your own. The fact of the matter is health care is personal to me. Obamacare is personal to me. When i see the president of the United States try to eliminate this health care in the middle of a Public Health crisis, thats personal to me too. Weve got to build on what we did because every american deserves Affordable Health care. Im joe biden and i approve this message. A lot goes through your mind. With fidelity wealth management, your dedicated adviser can give you straightforward advice and tailored recommendations. Thats the clarity you get with fidelity wealth management. Welcome back we are now only 46 days out from the election democrats have reason to be cautiously optimistic. A New York Times sienna poll shows biden in a Comfortable Lead an epic nra poll out of michiga paints a similar picture with biden leading by eight points. The only neck and neck race appears to be in places in the south. Biden leads by a single point. Obviously the democrats believe they have a good chance at flipping the senate. The campaign has struggled to land most of their messaging except one, highlights and exasperating but not fixing the issues with vote by mail the big question heading into november is not only who the people will be for but how the vote will be administered, in other words, if every vote will count. Joining me now, democratic pollster and msnbc politiclitoll contributor. Cornell, it was interesting about how, look, we picked three states here. In North Carolina, i want to ask you about this already its very early an all circumstance but already were seeing africanamerican ballots are being disqualified at a higher rate than white ballot. It was 4 versus 1 . In philadelphia, the democrats lost they put a ballot in a second envelope, not being able to fix that error we had a report in florida about 35,000 votes were thrown out during the primary take that number and tell us how much department we should have in the poll numbers. Poll numbers aside, chuck, heres a problem as a pollster, i have a better chance of reaching you by phone than a lot of these people have difficulties mailing in their ballot, right . I can call you fairly easily we cant mail in our ballots fairly easily. I dont have a problem with the polls. They are consistent. In North Carolina where theyre rejecting africanamerican ballots at a higher rate, none of us are surprised. That has been a problem across the board. It is hard for regular americans to vote, and it should be easy it should be easy regardless of their color. Weve consistently seen that not be the case and weve consistently seen legislative bodies in the south and blakes like North Carolina to make it hard to vote this is a part of voter suppression. When you add it up, it makes it more likely for voters to have their ballots rejected im not surprised in our voting more are not saying like Michelle Obama said, im going to vote early but in person. Interesting max, what do you think these are three examplestology how much of that you do think you know, ive had this theory the polls may be right, but the rest of the legislation may prove us wrong. It could be what im going to see more accurate is the early vote coming out of these states North Carolina has been going on for a little while as you said minnesota and other stoats are starting and early vote is a tremendous advantage for a party if that party is dissipating okay are your people turg out in key districts. Its almost like youre getting short card while voting is going on you can adjust your turnout models, get out the vote strategies accordingly what i worry about is whether or not trumps messaging discouraging early vote will affect marco rubios coming out if they cant see them, youre flying blind until election day. Thats a problem. Im going to pivot to below the blot, and im going to put up a few president ial polls we say today and ask you both similar questions. We have these polls. Maine by 17. Importantly in the second congressional district, the margin was just two points maine splits their electoral votes. Michigan, bind by eight. In the seven they have serengeti up at 5i6sh, Martha Mcsally over mark kelly, donald trump sitting at 40 heres my question when you watch these income. What is it if the number is above trump or below back to you. Its a problem. Look at the state wide candidacy. They struggle to get anywhere above two points over what Donald Trumps approval was. The top of the ticket matter hes making it hard for some of these republican senators. The military stuff and covid stuff, it may not be imploding his stuff, but its having an impact downblot. They have to defend this or in their silence, saying something to the vogters so Donald Trumps performance is downplaying it two months ago, chuck, i dont think neither one of us would be talking about flipping seriously. P today i think theres a real serious chance the senate is going to flip. Whats your theory on this . The question is how much more above trump do they have to perform. When you talk arksz south carolina, North Carolina, georgia, iowa, i think in those races what ive seen, only joni ernst is consistently p. All of the senate camps are below. Trump is trailing biden. How concerning. Even what ive seen, theres barely a 2point different match. So in essence youre inexplicably linked with how trump performs in that state, better or worse. You saw in 2016 where the senate race outcomes near the president ial race outcomes in their respective state you also say the tillis numbers. That will rise but youre not seeing much difference between trumps number and the downnumber for candidates. Its something to watch and something a lot of Senate Candidates counted on running ahead of him right now, not many are. Matt gorman. Thank you very much.

Welcome back the Trump Administration today is hammering down on chinese owned apps tiktok and wechat, announcing new measures that would effectively ban the popular mobile apps. Joining me to discuss the larger implication of all of this is dylan byers. Dylan, it seemed as if let me ask this it certainly seems as if tiktok thinks it is or was on a glide path here with its oracle walmart deal. Where are we thats right. Chuck, going into the 11th hour on this, bytedance and oracle had laid out a plan that they thought satisfied the Administrations National security concerns and indeed there were many officials who were satisfied there were others who were not where were at now is sort of different, whether youre talking about wechat or talking about tiktok with wechat, that is effectively dead in the United States as of sunday and though we dont talk about it as much as tick tauk, its used by more than 1 billion people globally, not just to text and communicate, but to send payments to one another and other things so that precedent will be set on sunday night as for tiktok, users will no longer be able to Download Software updates, which could sort of hamper the apps sort of Value Proposition of having the app, i guess you would say but an outright ban isnt going to come until after the election on november 12th, and that does two things one, it moves us to after the election to sort of mitigate the pl blowback for the decision for trump, and then more importantly, it gives oracle and bytedance more time to negotiate this deal, and in fact, they could still negotiate this deal before sunday, but its looking increasingly likely theyll have that extra time to do so between now and november 12th.
