Officer down, right there officer down . Yes. Yes. Overnight, two Police Officers in louisville were shot. They are both in stable condition this morning and a suspect is in custody. Were also getting reports of vehicles driving into protesters in buffalo and denver. Well get to all of that in a moment. But we need you to stop what youre doing and mark this historic moment. The president of the United States just refused to commit to a peaceful transfer of power if he loses in november. Mark your calendars. He is serious as a heart attack. Will you commit to making sure that there is a peaceful transferal of power after the election . Well, well see what happens. You know that. Ive been complaining very strongly about the ballots. The ballots are a disaster. I understand that, but people are rioting. Do you commit to making sure theres a peaceful transfer of power. Get rid of the ballots and there wont be a transfer, therell be a continuation. President trump means that. He doesnt want
By the second or Third Quarter of 2021, it will be easily by the end of 2021 before we start having some semblances of normality. The average daily death toll just topped 800 for the first time in more than a month. Its not just a function of testing. The cases are actually going up. Hospitalizations are going up. Announcer this is new day with Alisyn Camerota and john berman. We want to welcome our viewers in the United States and all around the world. This is new day. It is thursday, october 29th, 6 00 here in new york. Five days until election day. President trump and former vp biden will cross paths today, both on the campaign trail in florida. Both holding rallies in tampa, though theyll look quite different. Theyll be hours apart. It just shows how critical florida is. The pandemic, of course, continues to dominate the race. Overnight, the u. S. Reported nearly 79,000 new coronavirus cases. The three worst days of this entire pandemic have all happened in the past week. 12 states
Minute. This morning, more than 79,000 people are waking up in the hospital. 10,000 were admitted in the past week. Across the country, some people are again waiting hours to get tested. Look at this line in maryland. And still, even in the face of this growing crisis, the outgoing Trump Administration is prohibiting Health Officials from communicating with president elect biden. Something biden warns could delay Vaccine Distribution by weeks if not months. And what does the defeat t president have to offer to the public about this crisis today . Nothing. Nothing. The president has nothing on his public schedule today. It is the 12th of the past 16 days that he is doing nothing. Folks who have covered the white house for years say they have never seen a stretch like this. So much nothing. To misquote winston churchill, never has so little been done for so many for so long. And thats with the a pandemic that killed nearly 2,000 people a day over the last few weeks. What hes not doing fo
Get much worse. How much worse . The director of the cdc warns that the next three months will be, quote, the most difficult time in the Public Health history of this nation. So to be clear, the United States reported more deaths yesterday, more than 3,000, than japan has suffered the entire pandemic. Look at that. We hit it in one day. So faced with the worth Health Crisis in the history of the nation. What is the president doing . Hes trying to overturn the election in public, literally trying to undermine democracy in public. A 46minute word salad of lies about the election, the election he lost, he is completely detached from both reality and liberty and still in control of the Nuclear Codes for another 50plus days. On top of that, hes doing it largely for money to raise cash for a fund that he can use to fly around the country and throw parties at maralago. His former National Security adviser, the one the president just pardoned, is now publicizing calls for martial law to force
Three hours fly for you, berman. Its Christmas Eve, but that doesnt even begin to tell the story. No. If you are unemployed this morning, we cant tell you if youre going to get that next relief check. If youre a service member, that pay raise, maybe not. But if you lied to the Mueller Investigation or are related to jared kushner, merry freaking christmas and who knows what else is in store for the next 27 days. This political acid trip that kicks off this morning in maralago. Overnight, President Trump pardoned his longtime allies, Paul Manafort and roger stone, both of whom refused to cooperate with the mueller probe. He also pardoned Jared Kushners father. Republican senator ben sasse summed it up in one quote saying, this is rotten to the core. The president didnt say much, leaving washington without signing or vetoing the stimulus bill, although those actions, of course, speak volumes.
