Its about a patient who is having a stroke or a heart attack or is in a Motor Vehicle accident. We need to be able to have enough room in our hospitals and enough nurses and doctors in our hospitals to care for all of these patients. I know people are in a frenzy about their rights being challenged. But you also have to think about the rights of those that want to wear a mask and do wear a mask because its everyones right to live a safe and healthy life. Once again, we begin the show with sound from medical workers on the front lines of this pandemic. Welcome to thursday. It is meet the press daily. Im katy tur in for chuck todd. And once again, were awaiting the start of President Trumps News Conference at the white house. His third briefing during this hour in as many days. As we said yesterday, these renewed white house briefings appear designed more to address the president s political crisis, not the countrys medical crisis. There have been no Public Health officials at these brie
Months into the pandemic. And breaking news from the white house, an historic break through agreement between the United Arab Emirates and israel, made possible by israel for now giving up its plan to annex large areas of the palestinian west bank. Israel and the United Arab Emirates will fully normalize their diplomatic relations. They will exchange embassies and ambassadors and begin cooperation on a broad range of areas. This is a truly historic moment. Not since the israeljordan peace treaty was signed more than 25 years ago has so much progress been made towards peace in the middle east. And we begin today with nbc White House Correspondent and weekend today cohost kristen welker, nbcs mike memoli covering the Biden Campaign, Washington Post columnist eugene robinson. Kristen, the president is hitting senator harris hard and fighting any if ynew funding foe post office. Bring us up to date. Thats right, a lot of people woke up this morning to those comments by President Trump real
He says and well bring you any relevant developments throughout the hour. Then theres this. When we were in chicago, we were driving through a predominantly black neighborhood. His comment to me was only the blacks could live this way. Trumps former lawyer has a to say. We have more on that coming up in a moment, but first, donald trump is doing everything in his power to stop the bleeding after an explosive report in the atlantic that redisparaged u. S. Soldiers. When ever a narrative threatens his grip on power. Hes denying the report, fox news confirming parts of the story. When he didnisnt in denial mod Trump Doubles down on insulting the military by attack aing the very military leadership that he himself appointed. Im not saying the militarys in love with me. The soldiers are. The top people in the pentagon probably arent because they want to do nothing but fight wars that all of those Wonderful Companies that make the bombs and planes and Everything Else stay happy. Now what wev
Nationalists just fired up with president ial backing. But tonight i can happily report to you some good news. News that despite all of that, democracy is winning. With less than three weeks until the day we start counting the votes, americans are out in force. Theyre angry and determined and voting in record numbers. They are literally saving our democracy one vote at a time. Just look at these long lines across the country, including in georgia and texas and tennessee. And people are voting like gangbusters, even while donald trump and his republican minions are fighting democracy at every turn. Trump flunkies like senator mike lee of utah are on twitter screaming, democracy is bad, and Lindsey Graham is crying on tv that his opponent is getting more donations. And Trumps Campaign is fighting tooth and nail in court to stop all of this terrible voting, to stop you. And theyre losing there, too. The Trump Campaign got smacked down by courts in the key state of pennsylvania recently. O
Flipped for joe biden. Arizona also called for biden last night. So joe biden is now projected to win this election with the exact same number of electoral votes that donald trump won in 2016. 306 in all. You might remember Kellyanne Conway four years ago called a landslide a blowout, she said, historic. No doubt donald trump will also face questions today about why he continues to make claims about widespread voter fraud when his own administration, his own administration, the dhs, department of homeland security, is calling this election the most secure election in american history. Why he and his republican allies continue to tout republican victories in the house and senate while claiming president ial votes on the same ballots were somehow fraudulent. Not to mention the questions if why hes so adamant about holding on to the presidency the president has not shown much interest in doing the job since the closing of the polls. With the pandemic shattering records across this country
