Daily record for u. S. Cases. 48,000, you see, on the far right there. The red arrow. We are in record breaking surging territory. Thats in one day. Thats the sad truth. You need to know the truth. And right now, the president cannot handle the truth. And i think were going to be very good with the coronavirus. I think at some point, that is going to just disappear, i hope. That is false. Thats a new statement from the president. Numerically things are worse than ever right now tonight. And as for whether this is staying or going or disappearing, we have the evidence. 38 states are now seeing increases. The virus is up 80 in the last two weeks. Vice president pence in arizona today. He did donna mask. You can see it there. Modeling a type of leadership. Arizona hitting its highest daily increase. 4,800 cases and 88 deaths. Now, mike pence has made strides. We heard from medical experts say it is better that hes modeling masks now as opposed to failing to do. That he leads a virus task force that has some of the worst results, worst grades of any government effort to curb the coronavirus in any country in the world. And now he is on something of what critics view as a failure ner in terms of of curbing the virus. Florida, thursday, he was back in texas over the weekend. Each of the states, the charts are easy to read. They have record surges and the state policies originally followed the pence policy which has failed to curb it. Each state run by republican governors. Pence today sounds pretty different from just two weeks ago. But with cases rising dramatically, and not just here in Maricopa County but all across arizona, we wanted to be here to get a report from the ground. Well make sure that arizona has whatever it takes to meet this moment, to slow the spread and flatten the curve to save lives. Thats how he sounds today. We showed you on the screen was something that he had the time to think about, write and publish in the wall street journal where he claimed in the last few weeks that this was time for celebration. Well, it being one of the worst prepared countries in the world to curb the virus is a, quote, celebration, to quote the president , then words have no meaningful but words do have meaning and evidence does have meaning. We believe that here. I say apparently words have no meaning according to the head of the u. S. Virus task force. As for his boss, President Trump, hes undercutting pences leadership of wearing a mask and donald trump doing that with some borsch belt humor or something. I had a mask on. I said i liked the way i looked. I thought it was okay. It was a dark black mask and i thought it looked okay. It looked like the lone ranger. Ha ha ha . Or whatever . But in a country where donald trump specifically, and i say this only because the evidence supports it, has chosen to politicize something that should never have been political in the first place, science, your medical health, lets do this together, forget the party stuff, the partisanship. Hes done that. So have others. It is worth noting a change. We try to keep you up to date in whats happening out there including what you might not see. You might not choose to watch handy in a row. Even now, Donald Trumps most loyal message allies that exist over at fox news, theyre ditching his failed message on masks. We put this together for to you see right now, how this script is even changing at fox news. Massive restrictions with no end in sight. These are warping and destroying our society, know that theyre really not necessary. Theyll say this whole mask thing is settled science just whik climate change. Of course its not. I dont see any do you mean side in the president being seen more often wearing it. It is symbolic. Ill wear the mask. I want to go to the game. Its a short period of time. Maga should stand for masks are great again. Masks are great again. What a difference a if you weeks can make. Were joined by ron clain. Dr. Azar from nyu, and medical contributor and the mayor of birmingham, alabama, randall. Welcome, everyone. Ron, what do you take from that rather drastic public shift . Well, look. I mean americans are dying. Fox news viewers are dying. And there are many, many things we need to do as a country to turn that around. Many of those are in the hands of the federal government. Wrap up testing, contact tracing, provide ppe, but some are in the hands of all of us as individuals. And mask wearing along with hand washing and social distancing is one of those things. And so its no surprise that fox news is now telling people they should do that, which obviously, all of us should do it. The vast majority of americans agree that we should do. And which donald trump and his core believers are the last holdouts on. Now, look, im glad donald trump thinks he looks good in a mask. By the way, if he looks like the lone ranger, hes wearing it wrong. Thats not how the mask works. It doesnt go oh your eyes to hide your identity. So he has a problem there a bit. The bottom line is we need all americans at a very high rate to follow this mask wearing guidance if were going to be safe. If were going to do something other than waiting for a miracle to control this virus. Do you welcome sean hannity to this cdc guidance . I welcome any elected official who will listen to the Health Experts and remind americans we should all be wearing a facial covering. Its quite simple. When we talk particles coming out of our mouth, laughing, causing, sneezing, and proximity of someone, having a conversation. Its simple. This should not be political. We should not be listening to talking heads on talk shows on fox unless theyre sharing with americans. This is a Health Crisis and the Health Experts have encouraged us to wear a facial cover. With all that in mind, lets take a listen, doctor, to the governor of florida. Take a look. Were not going back, closing things. I dont think thats what is driving it. People going into business is not whats driving it. When you see the younger folks, a lot of it is just more social inactions. So thats natural. Doctor . Hes not wrong to say that the young adults are the group that were concerned about. That they are maybe the group thats less likely to practice zbing and wear masks and we know that they can be even super spreaders and be asymptomatic. So on that point, ill give him that. But what it really sounds like he wants is to have his cake and eat it too. It is not really rock science. If the reopening of your economy and whatever county youre in isnt working, its one of three things. You either opened up too soon, you did not open up with the proper precautions, or the individuals who are living there are not practicing social distancing and are not mask wearing. And maybe its a combination of all of those three things. To say that we wont man day masks and keep things going is totally discordan. And we try to show everything happening out there. So mike pension is wearing a mask. He is modeling that behavior. Hes pushing that and were noting that. The change on fox news is striking. But there are other places where were seeing the remnants of the attacks on science. I thought it was remarkable to see a texas official, dealing with the spike, of all the fights you can pick, go after dr. Fauci. Take a look. He has been wrong every time on every issue. I dont need his advice anymore. Well listen to a lot of science, a lot of doctors, and governor an, myself and other state leaders will make the decision. No thank you, dr. Fauci. Ron . Well, first of all, the alone governor was the one who announced several months ago that we should reopen the economy immediately in the height of the pandemic and if older people were going to die, that was the price of a free society. So i dont think should be taking his advice on this. As for dr. Fauci, he has advised six u. S. President s, democrats and republicans, Ronald Reagan who was one of the key pioneers in fighting hiv aids in this country. Hes fought epidemics around the world. Theres no persons advice i would listen to more than tony fauci. If the alone governor and the governor of texas dont want to listen to him, that would be a horrible, horrible thing. Against this back drop, something weve tried to do. Keep in mind when the numbers mean, when it was scary, we are numerically worse than april. The nature of life, being human beings, particularly in media, with things we repeat, i think theres a bit of fatigue setting in. And thats understandable. It may that be good for our next Public Health choices. I wonder if you could walk us through that situation, which is difficult. And take a listen with new reporting from our nbc colleagues on social media when were hearing directly from the voices of front line workers for your reaction as well. Take a look. No good news to share. Just sadness. All these complications happening. Its just frustrating and irritating and makes us angry. I dont think people realize that you can wipe out an entire floor of nursing, doctors, just by being deceitful and selfish. Doctor . In april, we were having this conversation and it was really close to home. It was in new york city. In my hospital. We all felt it to the core. And at the time, i was hoping that, and i think, Health Care Professionals and Hospital Systems were watching with a keen eye and now theyre experiencing what we did. And i am just hoping that all other states in this country that havent yet had their surge, havent yet had their spike, are also watching really closely to prepare themselves for their first apocalypse as we are sort of enjoying a little bit, the fruits of our labor here. But very carefully, i can tell you, that hospitals in new york city are watching the metrics really, really carefully in our hospitals right now, looking at percentage positivity. Looking at little blips for e. R. Visits and everything like that for the first inkling that we might be experiencing a second wave. And we can say a second wave here sort of in the northeast. Because weve had ours. Its never gone awayful it is still smoldering here. We have cases in the hospital, of course. But you know, i just home everybody is watching and learning from others experiences. Your views on that as a policy maker. Quite simple. As elected officials, listening to what doc said, we should be in locked arms with our Health Experts, the ceos and leaders out of our hospitals as well as our Health Experts who are walking along with state and local elected officials. Theyre making recommendations to us. Theyre sharing with us on a daily basis the number of beds being used and increasing those that need ventilators. This is still serious. And it shows that officials should be making recommendations to where our residents are taking this seriously. The fact that were still in now july debating, should people wear facial covers or not. And this started as early as i am a and may is very frightening to me because it is clear that elected officials are making political states, and theyre choosing politics over a Health Crisis. And it is just, it shouldnt be that way. Not when peoples lives are on the line. Not when people, the choices between a ventilator and the facial cover, the answer is pretty easy. Mayor, the last word on that. It makes a lot of sense. Thanks to each of you. I mentioned when we kicked off the show, we had a lot of special stuff.

Senate democrats calling for direct retaliation against Vladimir Putin over these reports that russia was paying bount toys get u. S. Soldiers killed. Senator menendez talking about freezing assets. This would expand other sanctions against russia. Speaker pelosi speaking about it moments ago. To see this possible bounty on our soldiers be treated so lightly without investigation is so inappropriate. It is dereliction of duty. Theres enough reason to believe this darrell exof duty cannot just be the course of action we take. We must Institute Sanctions against russia. New reports corroborating that intelligence on this was in Donald Trumps written briefing in february. No action has been taken publicly or that has been confirmed that we know about over this issue even though putin and trump have spoken on the phone six times. Look at that. Trump has called everything here a hoax. If this turns out to be true, we had action ready to go and the president is ready to take strong action as he always is. Just to mention, thats the current, not former white house advise or. The former chief of staff to the director of the cia and were joined by a National Security and foreign corn for gq who has tracked many of these stories. Where do we go from here . With regard to the intelligence, i think the Intelligence Community needs to continue to work to determine the extent of the validity of the information, to continue to brief the president and the National Security adviser needs to work with inagency to develop the appropriate actions to respond. I feel like im back working on capitol hill. I mean that in a good way. Imagine im not a staffer. What are we about in when you look at that, do you view it as good idea now or when you refer to the intelligence, youre saying its not clear yet how bad and how firmed up the plot was, in your view . Well, in my estimation, given the information that has been made public, it appears that there is credible information that the russians have been paying people or the heads of american and coalition forces. I dont doubt that for a minute. So do i believe were beyond time to take action. I think we need to be taking action now. I think weve heard from members of congress that the president should take some kind of immediate action, perhaps sanctions. At a minimum there ought to be some kind of diplomatic recommendory imagined being made reprimand being made. This brings me back to the original sin of this administration. When donald trump was confronted with overwhelming evidence of the fact that the russians were trying to help him and was questioned about why he was being so friendly with Vladimir Putin despite his terrible track record on democracy, human rights, et cetera, emit is important to talk to the russians. Theyre a nuclear power. We have to keep talking to them. Now we see a story like this, you think, what was the point of all those conversations . What were you even talking about . If this is not something that rises to the level of a phone call with Vladimir Putin. Yeah. Lets build on that point. The New York Times goes through some of this saying the new russia problem, unread intelligence, if you believe that, and it is manying strategy. The list of russian aggressions rivals some of the worst days of the cold war. Thats quite a statement from the payment of record. And they know new cyber attacks, julia, you mentioned the history on it, russian jets testing american air defenses. So at what point are americans, regardless of their views of donald trump as a person or politically, domestically, at what point do americans say, this is other Largest Nuclear power in the world. Theyre out here, according to our own cia veteran and a lot of other reports facing credible allegations. They messed with the last election. Theyre trying to mess with the next one. At what point does this look like a clear and present danger being crowded out by all the other things understandably take our attention in. Right. And at what point does it target a very key part of Donald Trumps base, and a big part of republicans messaging, patriotism, supporting the troops. If kneeling during the National Anthem is disrespectful about the troops, what is ignoring intelligence that our troops are being hunted for money, sent to them from the kremlin . At what point does that rise in the minds of trump voters . Or voters in general . Very well put. Larry, your thoughts . You raised a great point. We cant look at this in isolation. We need to look at this as part of a broad Russian Campaign to diminish americans influence in the world. Theyre pushing us out of regions. Theyre moving in and filling power vacuums. We have a National Security process complete and utterly dysfunctional. Weve been hearing this for some time. We saw it in the john bolton book this last week. For them to stand up there today and pin the blame on a briefer for not having briefed it to the president. The National Security adviser is the man ultimately responsibility for putting that information into the head of the president of the United States, making sure he understands the consequences. I thought that was a horrible, shameful thing to do today. I appreciate your go ahead. Can i just add, weve seen what the russians over the last ten years, it is very hard to really influence what they do. But if you do extract a price for them, for their actions, they do at some point stop. You look at ukraine, for example. They didnt give back crimea. They didnt pull out completely but they stopped. And they didnt go as far as people thought they would go, which was to hack a land route through ukraine. They stopped in part because of sanctions. They were kicked out. This president has not, you know, there have been some sanctions that he has been forced to immehmet by congress. That he has added statements saying he doesnt want to implement. Past that, he hasnt exacted any kind of price for Vladimir Putin. Yeah. That gets to the heart of it. Let me ask you one thing because of your cia training. You think a lot about strategy, dealing with people no matter how they come. The spectrum of the threats and the World Leaders that you all deal with is all over the place, right . Right. Right. So you have someone like donald trump who again, in fairness, hes not like a traditional president and he doesnt really do things factually. But he certainly has habits and one of them is picking fights and trying to finish them and blow people out of the water and be crushing. I think everyone saw in 2016 when it came to smash mouth politics, being quote under quote rhetorically tough, thats how he rolls. Given your training, what makes them tick, how to assess risks, what do you make of donald trump playing tough on so many fronts, particularly rhetorical, and then when it comes to Vladimir Putin doing everything youve laid out, suddenly hes a different guy. He doesnt say boo. What do you make of that . You go back to the soviet era, the pre soviet era, the russians are a political body that will push, push, push. Until theyre pushed back against, they will continue to push. Theres an expression about sticking a bayonet in. If you stick it in and you feel mush, you stick it in even further. If you hit steel, you pull back. Larry, some people are eating dinner right now. I apologize. You never have to apologize for bringing a russian saying in here. Ive asked several of our different experts because there is got to be some answer and it may not be pretty. We are closer, i think, to the answers, having listened to you tonight. Thanks to both of you. Appreciate it. We have big interesting news on barack obama jumping into 2020. A special guest. His pollster when were back in 30 seconds. S pollster when wer 30 seconds vision to life and save in more ways than one. For small prices, you can build big dreams. Spend less, get way more. Shop everything home at wayfair today. President obama now making news in the effort, fundraising for joe biden and attacking trump over coronavirus and criminal justice. That suggests that a deadly disease is fake news. That sees the Justice Department as simply an extension and an arm of the personal concerns of the president. Behind the scenes, obamas former aides also now joining the biden campaign. And thats amidst reports that some top dems want to may even a larger role in getting his vp elected which brings us to the obama factor and the complex relationship between these two teammates which did develop on the fly. Obama and biden had no personal relationship until 2008. They had success on the campaign trail together. In office, obama broke with bidens free wheeling approach. That ranges from the symbolic, like biden mocking the chief justice for a memory lapse at the inauguration. Obama was not amused and his body language was telling in that moment. Well show you that as well as some differences on substance. My memory is not as good as justice roberts. Last weekend, Vice President biden surprised everyone by seeming to endorse gay marriage. Today the president himself told robin how and why his own thinking has changed. The Vice President may have had just a hand in jumping the gun a little bit. As everyone says, biden will be biden. One a senior democratic source tells cnm that he gave biden to run at the weekly lunch yesterday. A spokesperson said biden are speculating about something they know nothing about. For the final time as president , i am pleased to award our nations highest civilian honor. The president ial medal of freedom. You look back at it. You can see the strain as well as the Mutual Respect between these two men. These next few months will decide if he can extend the legacy or if he can be another democrat stomped by President Trump. When clinton lost to trump, obama was slumped in his chair in the oval office saying im so done with this. It morphed into a recurring question. Was there anything that he could have done to blunt the trump back lash . That question shows obama personally invested in stopping trump, even if his former veem were not on the ballot this year. The New York Times has these new fascinating details these days, noting he watches trump in horror like many other americans, sending texts and story links to friends between midnight and 2 00 a. M. , obama gets on his that he will tonight bike by 8 00 a. M. Where he sends off a new round of texts about the latest trump outrage. And that shows how many democratic voters feel. But obama is in a position to do something about it. He is the only democrat to win a popular vote, majority, and two consecutive terms in over 60 years. Im joined now by pollster cornell who worked on both obama president ial campaigns. Good to see you. Good to see you. What do you see obama getting in, then he wanted more, and the relationship that does have its nuances between these two . Its funny. When youre talking about the New York Times article. I hafd out loud when i read in the article, talking about, he finds himself in the political battlefields he longed to leave. For such a gifted campaigner, only second maybe equal to bill clinton, he did not long for the campaign trail. Clinton seemed to relish it. Obama did not. Lets be clear. When you look at the polling numbers in the Battle Ground states and the Battle Ground congressional districts, there is not a more popular, not democrat but more popular figure anywhere in the country than right now, barack obama, and his stature has grown since he left office as people compare him to the guy we have in office right now. Only his wife is quite frankly more popular. So i think it is critical for biden. He speaks to change and racial healing and bringing all americans together like no other politicians. It was part of the message in 2008 and were at an inflection moment where there will be a lot of strong resonance. You mentioned the popularity. You are pro obama. Thats why youre here. But objectively, we can note that popularity isnt automatic. George w. Bush served two terms and was unpopular and remained unpopular for a long time. This halo around barack obama and michelle and what they recommend. Particularly in contrast to trumpism today, is a real measurable thing. We saw that in rallies that could not happen under cdc guidelines. Lets take a look at how obama was campaigning on the stump previously. Give it up for the woman who will be joining her in the United States senate. I miss you too lets make sure you have a congress that represents your values. Lets get out there in nevada. Im putting my money on you. Nobody denies his power as hono on, as an orator. In a time when there wont be a lot of the big rallies, from what we can tell. He still brings an energy and an enthusiasm. And if he can speak so he will quenly to the issues of the day in a way no other candidate can. Some people got it. You cant teach speed. Youd better draft it. Let me press you on it. Hes got it. Do you think that before november, they should get him out in some form of outdoor zb rally . Do you think that people need to see that or thats okay to never happen by november . Well, look. I am quite frankly sick and tired of zoom and quite tired of talking to you over skype, all right . But we have to follow the headlines with. Ill take barack obama over skype or zoom or anything else. When you look at the young people taking to the streets right now, africanamericans, whites, as well as asians and latino americans, the youth energy, that looks an awful lot like the youth core. We saw them pull back in 2016. We saw they will pull back in 2016 and it was a margin of, a difference in Hillary Clinton losing in most of these Battle Ground states. I think he can speak to them in a way that no one else, they were more obama voters than democratic voters. Which goes to which goes to something that i dont want to be misheard. Obama and trump have very little overlap. They represented appeals are far wider than the party theyre associated with. A little tougher question coming out of it. When we economy. The hope of a skinny kid with a funny name who believes america has a place for him, too. Our union can be perfected. What weve already achieved gives us hope for what we can and must achieve tomorrow. We in fact all share the same proud type. The most Important Office in a democracy. Citizen. Heres the tougher question. You and many would look temperature as amazing. What do you say to critics of joe biden including potential Coalition Democratic voter, who say you know what . It is much harder to put together a reel like that for joe biden who have has had a longer career in politics. If you look at online searches, people are not looking to see what joe biden is saying right now. Fair or not, what do you say tom . Shut the hell up and grow up, right . We have a guy who is an existential threat to everything you believe in. Shut up. Get in line. Lets get rid of this guy and then we can argue on the other side of this. Cornell, if this is how real you keep it on hive tv, what are your sessions like . You should join us on late night form. Cornell belcher who has been in the room with barack obama and joe biden, who served in the upper. He london but who is not afraid to speak plainly. Good to see you. Thank you. Well fit in a break. The Trump Presidency facing chaos, campaign shakeups. Akeu. Just between us, cleaning with a mop and bucket is such a hassle. Well i switched to swiffer wet jet and its awesome. Its an allinone that absorbs dirt and grime deep inside. And it helps prevent streaks and haze. Stop cleaning. Start swiffering all kinds of problems with the president. Hes coming off one of the darkest months on record, according to one account. The looming virus, tear gassing Peaceful Protesters that was in the last few weeks, remains controversial. The comeback rally that was anything but, and has led to talk of a whole campaign shakeup, and what we covered early in the broadcast. The russian bounties for killing americans. What the president hasnt publicly rallied against at all. And then hundreds of bush veterans backing biden. We warm to get to someone who has the wider political perspective. Dan rather, the president of news and guts and the host of axss tv show, the big interview. Good to see you again, sir. Good to be with you always. Good to have you, dan. As you know from covering so many president s, there are those who would stand for all kinds of things and others who find the next final thing becomes the proverbial tipping point. Im curious, what you see happening here . We may be seeing a different point here. I think any reasonable analysis, this is the most points of the Trump Presidency as seen from his point of view. That means a very dangerous situation for the country. We all know what were facing here. The coronavirus, apparently, never mind into the second phase. The economic situation. We have a very tough unemployment situation, the by which is down, the economy is down, we have this very caustic movement, antiracism movement, but causing a lot of turmoil. Any way you look at it. Ill going to say this. The election is almost an eternity away. I feel confident saying, the caucus led george h. W. Bush in 1988 election, time after time. The person leading in polls loses in november. The other thing donald trump is saying to himself. Its been a racist campaign that has made it clear this far. The economy, and he hopes by election time, it will come back and hes making the argument, let me handle the economy rather than these left wing democrats. The second thing is to continue the racist instincts of the country. Such things have started up law and order. He knows with Richard Nixon in 1968, with Ronald Reagan in 1980, and in 2016. And the third thing is, hell be hammering away. Tough on china. And joe biden. By the time we get to the Real Campaign after labor day, those things will be strong with him. However, it is true that when a president reaches a low point and the public begins to reflect which president is not up to the job, thats very dangerous. It was for jimmy carter. You recall, at the time, the public had lost confidence in jimmy carters ability to handle it. Particularly with afghanistan and the russians. Which strong support for americans who might be inclined to vote for donald trump. And it is poison for them. As long as that, theres no real explanation why this, all those other times, hes bent over backwards. A lot of people trying to vote for trump, who voted for him last time and plan to vote for him next time. This is the kind of thing that could shake them. The mystery of why President Trump at every turn really been over backward for putin, and i think it is finally beginning to take traction. For the people who supported him. Because there is no explanation for it. Perhaps even broke treat it ises. I dont go that far but i think the further from election. Theres one other thing. The president always has within his power, any large overseas development, anything to take country to the brink of war, can change the whole situation. Yeah. Well, you stitched several of those points together, including touching on the russia issues that hang over. So and our different issues, as you say, theyve been probing this mystery. Were not in a place to confirm it but you can report on the smoke and evidence that accrues, and the suspicions that inform so many people to be concerned. Im supposed to fit in a break. So dan rather, i hope you will come back. I will indeed. Thank you for having me on. Thank you. Appreciate i. After the break, a republican candidate winning a primary despite concerning talk about conspiracy theories. Well explain why this is a big story in politics and beyond when we come back.
