Just imagine not being able to breathe. You cant even get out of bed without losing your breath. Your body is achy, youre fatigued, you have a headache, you might have some gi issues going on, some nausea, your temperature is through the roof. So you go to the hospital and we admit you and we put you on supplemental oxygen and every single nurse and doctor or staff that comes in looks like an alien because we are dressed head to toe in ppe. Youre probably scared, anxious and worst of all you are alone because we cant allow visitors on the covid floor. I think its tempting for people to trick themselves into thinking that it cant happen to them or their loved ones because its just so abstract if you arent witnessing it and the devastation that covid is causing with your own eyes like we are in the hospitals. We begin this show once again with sound from medical workers on the front lines of the pandemic. Welcome to tuesday, it is meet the press daily, im katy tur in for chuck todd. We b
There or have recently visited the white house have tested positive for coronavirus, the latest Senior Advisor Stephen Miller, he is infected. And after weeks of getting the outbreak under control, overall cases are on the rise in washington, d. C. On top of that there is despair and confusion this morning after the president blows up stimulus talks, he says until after the election. Millions of americans and businesses were relying on that aid, counting on washington to do its job. We will get into more on that in a moment. Also tonight a major debate between Vice President pence and senator Kamala Harris, it will be one like you have we can assure you never seen before. Not to mention the plexiglas barriers on stage.

Like global warming. We cant do that if people feel embarrassed to be associated with the United States. You combine that with the fact that the State Department has essentially been neutered, e s eviscerated by this administration thus far and watching in real time as america and americas image withdraws from the world. Do you know any republican senator or member of the house whos a republican, any party member of any party who believes the president believes he was wiretapped, who even believes he believes it . I dont think anybody knows exactly what donald trump believes and what he doesnt believe. I think whats scary to many republicans is that theyve had the opportunity to walk this back and theyre putting not only the presidency and the reputation of the presidency, but the reputation of the entire country at risk, the longer that this floats out there. The reality is is congress can ask the Department Of Justice as to whether theres a wiretap, bul but if theres an active invest
