Nonstop to inform people and save peoples lives. In the meantime, the president is embracing and promoting conspiracy theories and doubling down on falsehoods that might make him feel better for some sick reason but are getting hundreds of People Killed every single day. Here he is today out right deceiving. When you test, you create cases so weve created cases. At the same time, we have the lowest mortality or just about the lowest mortality in the world. Were doing a great job. Keeping them honest for the 1 1,000th time, thats a boldface lie. Testing doesnt increase cases, it uncovers them and the rate the tests are coming back positive is rising so is the number of people being hospitalized. New deaths per day, the green line is the u. S. The pink one is the European Union with 100 million more people so no, we dont have the lowest mortality in the world and our number is rising. Its not as high as it was in april, thank goodness, because of better treatments and more young people b
And good evening. The coronavirus outbreak in this country is bigger now than it its ever been. I just want to repeat that. The outbreak in this country is bigger now than ever before. Nearly twice as big as ever before. The president likes to be number one. He can certainly take responsibility for this numberone ranking. The most powerful man on earth has been doing everything he can to divide people, make them doubt their own scientists and their recommendations. And now, he is marginalizing and trying to knee cap the most trusted Public Health official on the subject. Dr. Anthony fauci, the same scientist who warned how bad things could get. The white house is now smearing him as though he were some kind of political opponent. Just think about that. The white house is working hard to smear the nations top scientist, whos been working nonstop to inform people and save peoples lives. Meantime, the president is embracing and promoting conspiracy theories and doubling down on falsehoods
Allegations that a Key Institution for preserving the right to vote in a pandemic, the post office, is being systematically crippled, with the president s approval, by a Major Campaign donor of his, who happens to run it. By now, youve probably seen video like this of uprooted mailboxes and sorting machines being taken offline or, in some cases, also being taken apart. Just last week, the Postal Service warned 46 states it cant guarantee that all mailin ballots will arrive in time to be counted. And thats hard not to connect that potential effect, disenfranchising tens of millions of people, with the video above. Those are just some of the things postmaster general louis dejoy has been overseeing in just his first months on the job. The changes have already slowed the delivery of prescription drugs, government disability payments, even live chicks to farmers. Today, the postmaster general pledged the same would not happen to mailin ballots. As we head into the election season, i want t
Debate. Both Vice President mike pence and senator Kamala Harris have to prove they have what it takes to fill that top job for the next four years, as running mates to the two oldest president ial nominees in american history. Its a stunning thing to think about this, how crucial this is. We expect the coronavirus and the Trump Administrations handling of it to be front and center during the faceoff. It will be a 90minute debate. The pandemics impact obvious on the stage, as you see there. Two plexiglass barriers have been put up to separate the candidates. The Vice President s team challenged and even mocked those barriers before finally agreeing to them. All while more members of the Trump Pence Administration have been testing positive for covid19. And i want to bring in anderson, who will be with me this hour. The Debate Commission has changed, enhanced the safety protocols since the president bill ill. Now we know he was possibly infected with his debate with joe biden. There wil
But now . He certainly seems to be willing to let as many of his own followers risk infection at his own rallies. The idea made headlines again recently, when three scientists put out what they call the Great Barrington declaration. To allow those who are at minimal risk of death to live their lives normally, to build up immunity to the virus, through natural infection. While better protecting those who are at highest risk. We call this focused protection. Now, the declaration presents no data, was not published in a peerreviewed publication. But it does sound familiar. Heres what radiologist and the doctor who now has the president s ear, scott atlas, was saying in april. We can allow a lot of people to get infected. Those who are not at risk to be to die or have a serious, hospitalrequiring illness, we should be fine with letting them get infected. Generating immunity, on their own. And the more immunity in the community, the better we can eradicate the threat of the virus, including
