Are suing for the costs to them for Law Enforcement and medical care. Those cases are still out there. There are a lot of individual and families suing them and then theres possibilities that states will go after the sacklerres individually for crimes. Theres lot out there. The wild card out there is the bankruptcy proceeding. Last year Purdue Pharma declared bankruptcy and a court is deciding the amount owed to each creditor and each entity and to the government and this new corporation will be decided in Bankruptcy Court and its very much unknown how this will work out. Professor, we appreciate you breaking this down for us. Thank you very much. Its the top of the hour. Im Joshua Johnson here at headquarters in new york. And this is the week. Have you cast your ballot yet . Tens of thousands of us have. Our National Polling average shows the former vp is up 8 Percentage Points over the president. To be clear, thats a broad nationwide look. Mr. Biden is up 3 points in florida, almost 3 points in north carolina, almost 6 points in pennsylvania, more than 7 points in wisconsin. President donald trump appears to have a slight edge in ohio. Still, many of those are within the margins of error, so statistically, they could go either way. One statistic that leaves no doubt, the rate of new covid19 cases. It is going up and sharply. In a moment, youll meet a mayor who lost both of his parents to the disease. How is his city getting by with federal economic aid despite having one of americas largest ports . Also, well speak to white house trade adviser Peter Navarro about the nations economic plans for the pandemic and well check on our climate as deadly fires continue to burn in colorado. State and federal governments can take measures to prevent these massive wildfires from devastating the American West so why havent they . We begin this hour with coronavirus. Back in july the mayor of long beach, california lost his mother to covid19. She was a health care worker. Two weeks later covid killed his stepfather. Maybe Robert Garcia has become an outspoken critic of president Donald Trumps response to the pandemic. He was a featured key note speaker at the Democratic National convention in august and he joins us now. Mayor garcia. How are you . Im well. You said on september 29th a tweet reads listening to our president downplay this pandemic with killed both my parents is blanking infuriating. How are you doing these days . Like most people, im still upset and infuriated by the president s response. Grieving for both of my parents has been difficult but we also have a city to lead, a lot of work to do and at the same time trying to win an election. We know right now what donald trump is doing across the country is exactly against what hes out there not wearing a mask, Holding People and huge rallies together and literally making this pandemic worse everywhere we visit. We have to do a lot to turn this around to have a National Strategy and at the same time remembering all these lives weve lost. Were nearing 230,000 americans that have lost their lives due to covid19 of which two of which obviously i love very much and so we have a lot of work to do still. Tell us about them. Is there anything about your mom and step dad you think people should do . I immigrated with my mom when i was 5 years old. She worked cleaning houses like most immigrants and got a job as a health care worker. My step dad was a contractor, so really working class people. My mom was the most careful person could you ever meet as it related to covid19. She understood the dangers. If someone like my mom could get it, anyone could. And so we honor her in her life and in gregs as well and in fact, the last vote she cast was for joe biden in the primary. And i want to make sure that her legacy and others go on. We know that latinos especially are more affected by covid19. People of color are. In california, 60 of positive cases are latino while only 40 of the population. Thats a critical issue. Were getting teams out and documenting in communities and doing testing. Theres a lot more work to do. How is long beach doing . We mentioned it has one of the nations largest ports. Its been struggling economically. How is the city doing economically, particularly without federal aid . Has the port been able to kind of get back up to steam somewhat and keep the economy going or is there still a gap to be filled . Well, theres a huge need still for federal stimulus around covid19. The cities and states desperately need it. California really needs that additional support. Locally youre seeing high unemployment, people need jobs, people need direct assistance, direct support into their pocketbooks and were not seeing that coming out of congress. Thats something that i think is shameful happening at the congress an level. From a human perspective, i think people are taking care of themselves. I will give a lot of credit to our governor. In california, we are limiting community transmission, were getting people the assistance they need but what the federal government is not doing, Governor Newsom and the state is filling in and doing that work but theres still a lot more. We need that stimulus bill to pass. Im also proud were doing a lot of testing in communities that are hard to reach and get people the assistance they need locally and at the state level as well. Before i let you go, you began a study of a universal basic Income Program back in august. Compton has launched its own study. I wonder what we should take away from that, particularly that it was an issue that i think has begun to gain some tractions. A lot of fans of andrew yang were interested in his idea of universal income, but it also a sign that something is broken in our social contract. Theres a gap that should not to be filled this way. Where do you see this study going from here in long beach . Ubi and guaranteed income is the future, in my opinion. We have a program that were testing where weve got 1,700 residents in the city getting 1,000 check over three months, almost as a mini pilot. Were in the first month right now to help them bridge the rent. Were going to launch a much larger study like compton is doing. People need direct support. So i commend all the mayors that are stepping up, andrew yang and everyone working on this issue, we will launch a substantial campaign in 2021 and its something we hope will replicate across the country, our state and congress should take up as well. Im sure a place like long beach, which is a big port state, ill be interested to see how it goes in the next few months and years. Mr. Mayor, thank you very. Thank you. Since the pandemic began, weve heard a lot of promises about vaccines. We think were going to have a vaccine in the pretty near future. Vaccines are coming along far in advance of what they thought they would be and i think well have some very good news for you on vaccines. We have tremendous progress on vaccines and therapeutic. I think people are going to be very pleasantly surprised with whats going on on the vaccine front. We will have 100 million vaccine doses before the end of the year. The race to approve an effective vaccine has taken a toll on public trust, especially in the middle of a heated president ial election. Only 27 of americans say they would definitely get an approved coronavirus vaccine. To ease those concerns, the fda took the unusual step of making its Advisory Group meeting on thursday open to the public. Scientific advisers debated the standards needed to ensure the vaccines safe and effectiveness. Joining me, professor of pediatrics at the Childrens Hospital of philadelphia. Good evening. Good evening. Id like to get your reaction to an exchange about the subject of vaccines. Watch. We have a vaccine thats coming, its ready, its going to be announced within weeks ands its going to be delivered. We have operation warped speed, the military is going to distribute the vaccine. Let me follow up. This is new information. You have said a vaccine is coming within weeks. Your own Officials Say it could take well into 2021 for enough americans to get vaccinated and even then they say the country will be Wearing Masks and distancing into 2022. Is your timeline realistic . I think my timeline is going to be more accurate. So, doctor, the president said its going to be announced within weeks and its going to be delivered. What do you make of the president s timeline. What would it take for the president s timeline to be true . Well, first of all, the only people who know who got the vaccine and who got the placebo in these trials are the data safety monitoring board. Donald trump is not on the data safety monitoring board so he cant possibly now howe things are really going. How long will it take . It depends on whether these vaccine trials are shown to work or not. These are big trials, the pfizer trial is a 44,000 person trial doctor, im really sorry. I beg your pardon for interrupting. You used a term that i think needs defining. What is a data safety monitoring board. What does that do . So when you do a trial, lets say youre doing a modernas trial, 15,000 people get a vaccine, 15,000 people get a placebo. There is a group of people who are academics for the most part who are looking out who get the vaccine and who got a placebo and making sure to see that someone who got the vaccine didnt have a problem. Thats the data safety monitoring board. They all know who has gotten sick and who has not. Theyre the only ones who really know whether or not these vaccines look promising or not. President donald trump cant know that because hes not on one of these boards. Let me also get your reaction to something that dr. Anthony fauci said to my colleague chuck todd yesterday on meet the press daily. Sometime in november or december most likely the end of november, the beginning of december well know that a vaccine is safe and effective and im cautiously optimistic it will be. Vaccine doses will likely start to be distributed on a priority basis, for example, to Health Care Workers and those most vulnerable could be the end of the year but if youre talking about thousands of doses, youre talking into 2021. You have to deal with the logistics of getting the vaccines in the people who are first in line and were talking about jefferson, hahnemann, temple, penn. It seems like were asking the wrong question. Very few of us are going to be in the front of this line. Well, its not just Health Care Workers. Its really any essential worker, those in mass transportation, pharmacies, grocery stores, et cetera, people in Law Enforcement. Those are all essential workers. People over 65 years of age, people with Certain Health conditions like obesity or diabetes. If you add all those groups up, it adds up to around 150 million people. At least the vaccines that initially roll out look like twodose vaccines. You have to bring these people in, identify who they are and make sure they come back a month later. One vaccine that looks the most promising has to be stored on dry ice, which to say minus 70 degrees centigrade, which weve never done before in this country. For people who have looked at this whole controversy and said i aint taking it, its too risky, everybodys saying something different, hes saying one thing, the president is saying another thing, i dont know who to trust, i aint taking it . I think you can trust the group of expert who will critically analyze the data. Theyre not associated with the government or the pharmaceutical industry. Theyll give you a clean, unvarnished appraisal of what they think of these vaccines. Normally youre not going to license a vaccine thats only been tested for four, five months. That wouldnt happen. On the other hand, 225,000 people died so theres more pressure to get it out there than typical. Thank you, doctor. Much appreciated. Thank you, joshua. It has been said has ohio goes, so goes the nation. So we are the go to ohio and hear from some folks there. And Peter Navarro will talk to us about the economy as covid19 cases continue to rise. First, richard lui has the headlines. Stories were watching for you this hour polish president duda has tested positive for covid19. He says he feels well and he apologizes for anyone hes had contact with. Poland is experiencing a surge of new covid cases and deaths. Back here at home, delta announcing more than 400 customers were added to their nofly zone lists for rear fusing to wear face coverings during the pandemic.

At visionworks, and we want you to see yourself in your new glasses and think, ooh but if you get home and your ooh is more of a hmm. You have 100 days to change your mind. Thats the visionworks difference. Visionworks. See the difference. Are you better off than you were four years ago . President donald trump says he had the greatest economy in u. S. History before the pandemic hit. During his event in miami, former president obama said that the economy was better at the end of his administration. And joe biden told a crowd in pennsylvania that President Donald Trump cares more about wall street than every day people. Did he warn the American People . No he didnt but hed tell you what his administration did. They gave wall street a heads up according to the new york times. He didnt tell us, but they told his wall street friends. Thats why they made so much money by, quote, selling short, because they knew it was coming, because he cares more about the stock market than he does about you. This week the Labor Department reported the jobless claims dropped to nearly their lowest level since early march, still the unemployment level is 7. 9 . A poll found the economy remains by far the top issue for voters this november. Joining us, Peter Navarro. Good evening to you. Good to see you again. How are you, sir . Im good. I want to start with vaccine policy. We heard the president s timeline in terms of when a vaccine might be available and how soon it could move. Talk about the administrations plans between now and then. I would think that the goal would be on getting ppe out this, making sure that everybody is following the precautions, making sure theres a consistent message from the white house and getting the ducks in a row to logistically move this vaccine. So what happens between now and when i get the vaccine . Thats a great question. I thought that was a thoughtful discussion you had earlier. Right here in my office on february 9th, i wrote a memo which basically described how we could get to a vaccine by the end of november or december. And what was interesting about that memo is that the first 1 big thing first big thing to do was to set up the horse race and the magic sauce in terms of getting a vaccine to the people in a third of the usual time is to have this horse race moving but at the same time do something that never was done before, which is to put in place the ability to mass produce the five vaccines under the assumption one or more of them might hit. Thats the difference in the trump effort versus everything thats followed before that. So what weve done is assiduously assure we have mass production available should we effectively hit the vaccine lottery and things are looking pretty good for the people, companies that are in this. We have the army thats presuming we do hit that lottery and i hope we do. Theres question among the public as to whether or not the process is reliable, whether were rushing toward a vaccine, whether any of the vaccines will be safe to put in our body. Let me quote the late coach john wooden, be quick but dont hurry. So were moving through the phase one, two, three trials. You start with safety and then you go to efficacy. Again, the important thing to understand is that we didnt wait. From the very beginning we were getting ready to mass produce the vaccine and thats something that the people in the scientific community, the doctors kind of handicapping this havent been able to wrap their heads and because usually its a sequential process, phase one, two, three and then move to mass production. Thats not what we did. We simultaneously did all phases at once. Lets hope for the best. Were coming at this from a fourvector attack strategy. The other thing to take death off the table if i may be extremely serious are the therapeutic. February 9th when i wrote that memo, one of the things i wrote was to move remdesivir quickly. The president was like this is serious, lets move. The remdesivir thing, we made sure we bought the 5,000 doses that were available and then another 100,000 doses and raw materials. Hold on its been approved for use. Its the first fda approved medication to treat covid19, but in addition to that, things that like mask wearing that hope close the gap between now and i hope we hit this lottery but were still waiting for 100 consistent message from the president on down about things like just mask wearing. Thats got to make it harder once the vaccine gets out. My job is to get the masks made. Let me give you some assurances there. Sitting in this office, part of this office is like Mission Control early in the pandemic. I remember getting a call right here, stand being right here at this desk from honeywell. It was on a friday about noon and they said, look, we want to make n95 respirators. Those are the cadillacs that we need for first responders, we need help on three different areas of bureaucracy. By the end of the day we had those problems taken care of in what i call trump time, as quickly as possible. Within five weeks instead of nine months, we had honeywell setting up n 95 factories in rhode island and arizona. The thing we learned from this is were dangerously dependent on foreigners. So the investigateors are the vaccines, the therapeutics and testing. Weve gotten to the point of care testing capabilities and weve gotten to that through abbott labs, which is one of the Great Companies fighting this for us. Theres a larger question about supply chains. New york has had efforts to try to build more respirators here in the new york city area and tristate area. I know my time with you is tight. I wanted to ask you about a comment made during the debate last night when joe biden was asked about fracking and President Donald Trump made a point of it. You hear that, texas, you hear that pennsylvania, in terms of how that might affect voters whose livelihoods might depend on the current state of natural gas exploration. Having been to a fracking site and talk to people, they already know the business is changing and theyre already working on improving the way hydraulic fracturing works because they know whats in the ground. Im skeptical as to how that argument will land with people who are actually in the business because they see which way the wind is blowing and they know how much weve moved away from oil and toward natural gas with most Energy Exploration companies. How do you see it . Fracking is natural gas. Heres the way i see it. All job creation is local. Thats the approach we take in the trump administration. I thought that was a catastrophic mistake by joe biden for this reason, joshua. Theres 9,000 fracking wells in michigan, theres 8,000 fracking wells in pennsylvania. Together theres about 200,000 jobs and maybe 400,000 votes in this election implicated and on top of that in wisconsin theres no fracking but there is in the western part of the state the major supplier of fracked sand, which is used in that process. So i think there was a very clear signal sent to the people in michigan, wisconsin and pennsylvania, the battleground states that will in many ways determine this election that joe biden is after their livelihood. He can back away as much as he wants from it but when he says play the tape i never said id ban fracking and you play the tape and he said hed ban fracking, it made him look like he wasnt being honest with people. I was with the president in 2016 on the campaign and one of my favorite nights was watching Hillary Clinton go down to West Virginia and tell the coal miners he was going to put them out of business and give them white shirts to go clerk somewhere. Well see how that plays in parts of the country with hydraulic fracturing is done. Lots more id like to talk to you about on another night. For now, Peter Navarro, thank you for making time for us. Speaking about the economy, youll hear what ohio voters are saying about the economy when we come back. Its either the assurance of a 165point certification process. Or it isnt.

They say theyre happy with the job hes done, even though the governor stepped in to offset losses on tariffs and a pandemic. Heres what some of them told nbcs kate snow. For farmers in ohio, theres support for President Donald Trump im not upset at all. If we continued to kick the can, it would get harder and worse. Reporter President Donald Trump gave a precovid bailout. Costing taxpayers more than the auto bailout.

Thousands of firefighters are working to contain wildfires burning across colorado. One blaze designated the east troublesome fire forced more evacuations this morning near estes park. High winds are pushing the flames towards the Mountain Town in northern colorado. Yesterday county sheriffs confirmed an elderly couple who chose to stay in their home died in the fire. A storm could bring snow to the area tonight and slow things down. This year has brought colorado three of its largest wildfires on record. Meanwhile, in california more than 4 million acres have burned this year. Climate change certainly plays a role but another big factor is the build up of dead vegetation. Its fueling fires across the west. The l. A. Times has new reporting on a back log of millions of acres of Forest Management projects. Those include clearing dead trees and brush from federal land. The times calls this an uncomfortable truth for the trump administration. The president has blamed the wildfires in california on state Forest Management. In reality, the u. S. Forest service is not getting enough federal funding to do the job. Joining us is anna phillips, an environmental policy reporter who wrote this piece for the los angeles times. Welcome. Thanks for having me. You talk about a Community Near bend, oregon that does a good job with Forest Management but also is neighbors with land thats managed by the u. S. Forest service and that makes things complicated. Why the complication . Well, the forest that the community abuts has more than 250,000 acres worth of projects that could prevent a small fire from becoming a massive conflagration. And most, if not all, of those projects are essentially on hold because the Forest Service doesnt have enough funding to complete them or to even begin them. So for people who are living in the wild land areas where you essentially cant differentiate between whats forest and whats urban, those people and their homes are at greater risk because theres so much build up in the forest. If these services had all the money they needed to do everything they need to do, what are some of the top things on their list . Well, for starters prescribed fire is something that experts across the country agree could have an incredible impact for these communities. Thats where youre setting beneficial fires that are small, that are controlled. Youre setting them in the right conditions and youre sort of laying the groundwork so that if a fire were to come through the following year, it wouldnt burn as intensely and it might not move as quickly into surrounding communities. Another tactic that they use is called thinning where you go into forests that are very overgrown where there is just a lot of very small trees that have grown and you remove some of the smallest trees that are the likeliest to burn the hottest. This sounds like very labor intensive work. What about the workforce . Do we have enough people to do this work even if we had enough money to pay for it . No, we dont. And we have a seasonal workforce which has been discussed as part of the problem here, that this is really not a seasonal job anymore, this is something wed have to be doing year round. In terms of sheer numbers, though, we dont have the crews, we dont also have the expertise that we used to have. People who really knew how to set controlled fires in a way that was safe and, you know, effective. And so its not just the number of bodies, its the expertise thats missing. Where does this sit in terms of the larger issues with Climate Change that we face . Noaa Scientists Say theres been 16 weather disasters in 20 that have had losses of more than 1 billion each. If you live in california and Colorado Wildfires are very top of mind, especially this year. But in the scheme of things, of all the climate stuff america has to deal with, where do you put fires specifically . Fires are one of the most Destructive Forces in californians lives right now. Obviously with Climate Change the projection is they are going to become more frequent and worse. Whats happening is the dry period is extending further into the year than it had previously. So the kind of weather conditions that are perfect for fire are becoming more common and the conditions where youd have more rainfall and, you know, conditions that would put out a fire are becoming much less common. So its one of the biggest challenges. Where do we stand right now in terms of federal funding . Any hope for getting more or is that too far down the priorities list . Theres absolutely hope in the next year, but at the moment theres no movement right now to do anything. There was hope that there would be this legislation two years ago that would have provided an additional 400 to 500 million for preventive work, but the president didnt put that money aside for that and congress didnt either. Neither of them prioritized it. Anna phillips from the los angeles times, thanks very much. Thanks for having me. This election is bound to make history. How do we make sense of our place within history . Well get to that before we go. fisherman vo how do i register to vote . Hmm . Hmm .

Today President Trump cast his ballot in west palm beach, florida. I was born and raised there. He voted across the library right near the Sheriffs Office south of the airport. It sent a wave of memories washing over me, but not nostalgia. We make a big deal of people being woke. But we dont often talk about the awakening, about the moments that clue us into being an american, being a citizen really means. 20 years ago, thats when florida became the center of the universe with our crazy election. This adorable young nerd was deep into his studies at the university of miami, deep coming out and deep into a profound political awakening. March ra lmy grandmother worked decades on palm beach as a housekeeper. Ill never forget hearing just about everyone telling me i was so articulate and how i speak so we well. I only got over that a few weeks ago. I remember big events like the challenger, hurricane andrew or the day my classes at sun Coast High School stopped as a jury read the o. J. Simpson verdict. But they didnt feel like life landmarks. That changed within months of my graduation. During my first semester at um, Miami Dade County narrowly voted to ban discrimination in housing. I went down to city hall to watch. It was intense and emotional and very new. It was my first upclose look at democracy in progress. I came of age as south florida shaped the debate over youth violence. The subject quickly shifted to trying juveniles as adults. In 1999, the debate centered around a teenager in Broward County charged with murder who killed a sixyearold girl. He became the youngest american ever sentenced to life without parole. In palm beach county, nathaniel brazil was sentenced for killing a etch tooer. He brought a sun to school to intimidate the teacher. At the time, my mother was still teaching in palm beach county. But even those huge stories got ellipsed by an International Custody battle. It was so intense it felt surreal even then. In the days after the raid, i remember the university of miami canceling some events and classes to keep students away from campus for their safety. And that happened a few months before the nation asked a question that has nagged floridans ever since. Dont you people know how to vote . Before the 2000 election, we thought a dimpled chad was a guy with a cute smile. We didnt know how the ballots worked. Seeing an election grind to a halt around you. All right. Were officially saying that florida is too close to call because of a recall of campaign and voter counters are being called back to work to count absentee ballots. Will that be going on throughout the evening so far as we know . Yes, it will be happening even as we speak. Theyre being called back tonight. So we take florida away from george w. Bush. That means he is short of the 270 electoral votes that he needs to win. He was declared the president elect by all of the networks and there was great jubilation in austin, texas and then total chaos. The 2000 election killed my blind faith in the sanctity of elections. It also made me a devout voter. My generation learned the hard way, if you are in line when the polls closed, then you are entitled to vote. Do not get out of line. Stand your ground and vote. With all of these big stories, the good thing was people around me always gathered to talk about them. I grew up going to Community Forums and listened to blackowned radio stations like foxy 1040 and hot 105 and 99 jams. And i was raised with no shame about going to county hall or pushing my way into jobs at stations or just going to the barber job with my ears open.
