Donald trump rallies at a trump rally. We talk with the republican chairman about a possible convention. We begin this morning with a look at todays eye opener. Your world in 90 seconds. This is a historic visit. And its a historic opportunity to engage directly with the cuban people. Reporter president obama arrives in cuba. Its very chic, very chichi for less to celebrate vicious communist dictator. The head of cuba was there to greet him. Honestly he should have turned the plane around and left. I would rather lose with trump than try to win with him. You hold out being Donald Trumps running mate . Are you kidding me . The east is bracing for heavy to moderate know. We have to deal with it. What can you do . Investigators hope to visit crashed in russia. Terror suspect Salah Abdeslam was captured over the weekend. Pope france has 1. 4 million followers on instagram.

Cure the president and his right wing supporters have been promoting. The malaria drug hydroxychloroquine. It was revoked by the fda for emergency use last month after studies showed it was unlikely to be effective, and there were ongoing serious side effects. But heres what one of those frontline doctors told the internet about. I came here to washington, d. C. To tell america, nobody needs to get sick. This virus has a cure, it is called hydroxychloroquine, zinc zit throw mix. And i know you want to talk about masking. Hello. You dont need masks. There is a cure. You dont need people to be locked down. There is prevention, and there is a cure. Oh, oh, theres a cure . Its that simple. Huh . So weird that no one in the world has figured this out as millions and millions of people around the world get sick. Millions saw that video on facebook before the president then went on a classic late night retweeting rampage about it. All because hes committed to opposing the science on the virus
Streamed on a fringe right wing website. These people call themselves americas frontline doctors. And their announcement was of a miracle cure for coronavirus, that does not really exist. Sit the same phony miracle cure the president and his right wing supporters have been promoting. The malaria drug hydroxychloroquine. It was revoked by the fda for emergency use last month after studies showed it was unlikely to be effective, and there were ongoing serious side effects. But heres what one of those frontline doctors told the internet about. I came here to washington, d. C. To tell america, nobody needs to get sick. This virus has a cure, it is called hydroxychloroquine, zinc and i know you want to talk about masking. Hello. You dont need masks. There is a cure. You dont need people to be locked down. There is prevention, and there is a cure. Oh, oh, theres a cure . Its that simple. Huh . So weird that no one in the world has figured this out as millions and millions of people around th
267 people dying. And in the meantime, as the global number of cases crosses 20 million, russian president Vladimir Putin says his country has approved the worlds first vaccine and named it sputnik v, a hat tip to the first satellite launched during the space race. There are many questions about the safety and the quality of that russian investigation. Health and Human Services secretary alex azar says being first is not the goal. The point is it is not to be first with the vaccine, the point is to have a vaccine that is safe and effective for the American People and the people of the world. We need transparent data, and it has got to be phase three data, that shows that a vaccine is safe and effective. The u. S. Timeline for a safe and effective vaccine is still the end of this year. But lets get back to that alarming rise that were seeing in cases among children. The school year is already under way in many parts of the country.

The United States is heading into what pandemic expert bill gates says will be a very difficult fall. But trump is not preparing the population for that reality. Instead, he is sticking to his discredited script saying the virus is disappearing. The same thing he tried to say seven or eight months ago. You know, reaching for new ways to describe this aberration of a presidency. They will say he is the liar in chief or conspiracy theorist in chief. Here is the new chief. Superspreader in chief. What a 2020 title. These headlines say he is a superspreader of the virus, of disinformation, and of anxiety about the election since he wont accept the outcome. Trumps reelection story is much bigger than any single headline or anything he is tweeting because the president is yanking on every lever of state power in an attempt to prop up his campaign. I am thankful at a time like this for beat reporters who cover all of these agencies. For example, the postal service, who are uncovering examples
