Live from msnbc headquarters in new york and we begin with breaking news at this hour. President trump remains hospitalized at Walter Reed National military center in bethesda, maryland. The president addressing the nation for the First Time Since being hospitalized with the coronavirus, posting a video to his twitter account last night trying to reassure the public hes feeling, quote, much better. I came here, wasnt feeling so well, i feel much better now. Were working hard to get me all the way back and i think i will be back soon. I look forward to finishing up the campaign. I just want to tell you that im starting to feel good. You dont know over the next period of a few days, i guess thats the real test. Well be seeing what happens over those next couple days. Well this comes after the president s doctors
You dont want to miss that. Even as demonstrators continue to hit the streets over the Breonna Taylor case. Were watching it all. Live reports ahead, everybody. First nbc news has now learned a confirmation hearing is tentatively scheduled on october 12th, 16 days from now. An extremely aggressive time line to say the least. Want to start with White House Correspondent peter baker who has been reporting about the presumed nomination. Good to see you. Very much appreciate you joining us on this saturday. Talk to me about this most recent development that were hearing, this time line of october 12th for the beginnings of a confirmation hearing. Yeah. That would be, as you put it, a very accelerated time frame. Basically doing in two weeks what normally takes six weeks even under the best of circumstances for a Supreme Court nominee. Republicans are saying thats fine because she was vetted just recently in 2017 when President Trump appointed her to the Appeals Court on the 7th circuit. Th
And you may recall the senator from such events as this one, that would be the white house rose garden event on september 26th, that dr. Anthony fauci described as a super spreader event for Amy Coney Barrett where senator lee was seen hugging people. And here is lee maskless three days later with judge barrett. He is one of at least 12 people who were at that super spreader event diagnosed with covid. And while he wasnt hospitalized he has had and maybe still has a pretty serious case by his own admission. I had fatigue, i had some fevers, and sometimes i felt like it might feel to be 98 years old and in a boxing match. Mike lee is not fully out of the woods. His doctor today released a letter that acknowledged that while lee is improving, he is basically still experiencing symptoms selfreported, and yet there he was the hearing room today, speaking without a mask, so committed to ramming through a justice, to giving trump and conservatives a 63 majority on the court for a generation
Vote. Were voting like our lives depends on it. All in starts right now. Good evening from new york. Im chris hayes. I want to show you tonight some video from earlier today that embodies the priorities of the party of donald trump three weeks before election day in the midst of a pandemic that is now entering its third wave. That is utah republican senator mike lee speaking in person in the room at the Supreme Court confirmation hearing for conservative judge Amy Coney Barrett today. As you can see senator mike lee, though speaking, is not wearing a mask. And you may recall the senator from such events as this one, that would be the white house rose garden event on september 26th, that dr. Anthony fauci described as a super spreader event for Amy Coney Barrett where another lee was seen hugging people. And here is lee maskless with judge barrett. He is one of at least 12 people who were at that super spreader event diagnosed with covid. And while he wasnt hospitalized he has had and m
But there are reports the white house has chosen a very different kind of policy. These were the the scenes in liverpool last night in spite of the tougher restrictions that were brought in. Well hear from a gym owner in the city who is refusing to close his doors. Hello, im Laura Trevelyan in washington, Christian Fraser is in london. President trump is bouncing back after his coronavirus infection, and heads to iowa tonight, trying to make up for lost time. But the fact hes having to shore up support in iowa, a state he won by nine points in 2016 is telling. It suggests that republicans think the hawk eye state could be in play, 20 days before the election. At his rallies this week in florida and pennsylvania, supporters have packed in, without any regard for the social distancing rules. And again tonight the president will be flouting white house guidance. Social gatherings in iowa are supposed to be limited to 25 people. The president tells them there is nothing to be afraid of. Bu
