Packing maskless people close together in a state with soaring numbers of people who are already infected. And at one of those stops in tampa, the president of the United States said something that we want to let you hear, for yourselves, because it is so shameless and cynical. And is such a lie that, even for this president , its remarkable. This is the president in a rally with large crowds. Most of whom, are, as always, not wearing masks. The people behind him, as you will see, have been given masks because theyre going to be on tv and the Campaign Want you to think hes being responsible but hes not. Here is the president s new claim. We know the disease. We social distance. We do all of the things that you have to do. If you get close, wear a mask. Always, controversial. Its not controversial, to me. You get close, you wear a mask. Social distance. Social distance. Wow. I mean, this guy has no shame. He is telling a crowd, of largely unmasked people, who, as you see, are Standing Shoulder to shoulder. Shoulder, often, rubbing against shoulder. Yet, we social distance, he says. We do all the things that you have to do. And folks are nodding their heads and clapping, cheering. Spreading droplets into the air and onto the people around them. Packed in tight. You are get close, the president says, you wear a mask. To a crowd of people who are close and are not wearing masks. And hes saying it, as if hes been saying this for months. Social distance. Social distance, he says. To, again, a crowd not social distanced. I got to say. It is painful to watch people who, also, cheered when he mocked masks and social distancing. They cheered when he mocked those very same things. N now, hes, suddenly, a convert. Its like he pulls the rug out from under them, and they go along with it. People in that crowd are going to contract covid. That is the sad reality, and some may die. Cnns dr. Sanjay gupta and the cnn medical team investigated what happened. The rate of cases rose a month later and after more than half the rallies, they rose faster for the overall state in which they were held. In the meantime, think about all the times that the president has mocked joe biden for his socialdistancing circles and drivein events or reporters for wearing a mask, as he did just last week in the oval office. This is jeff mason. Hes got a mask on. Its the largest mask i think ive ever seen so i dont know if you can hear him. So, no, the president hasnt always been a fan of mask wearing or social distancing, and he isnt a fan of it now. Here is the president at a recent abc news town hall. There are a lot of people that think the masks are not good. Who are those people . Ill tell you who those people are. Waiters. They come over and serve you and they have a mask. And i saw it the other day where they were serving me, and theyre playing with the mask. Im not blaming that. Im just saying what happens. Theyre playing with the mask. And so, the mask is over. And theyre touching it and then theyre touching the plate. That cant be good. Now, keeping him honest. Researchers at university of washington released a study projecting that 100,000 lives could be saved, american lives, could be saved, over just the next few months, if everyone did what the president said is maybe not such a good thing. Apparently, because hes seen waiters touch their faces. And now, he is saying hes always been for it, having spent months making it controversial. Even when he announced the cdc guidelines on masks, he started to critique them, as he announced them. Saying he wouldnt do it. Its like an arsonist, who is back at the scene giving firefighting tips. Or sending his chief of staff on to cbs this morning. I mean, this guy. First, mark meadows. First, he lies about the administrations stance on all the above. Then, he pivots to his own restaurant experience, which we are dying to hear which, apparently, isnt shared by many these days about how icky they can be. The reason i want to jump in here. I just want to clarify. Im glad to hear you saying youre using purell. I believe on the face the nation said its a little confusing for people. You know, the president , himself, your office, the Vice President s office. They are not following their own guidelines. Can you see how thats a problem for people . Well well, i i can tell you that i im following the guidelines and a number of us are following the guidelines. A number of us. If you look at it, obviously obviously, a number of us continue to to look at this particular environment. And and its an unusual environment that we have. And so, as we as we try to make sure that we come into contact with other people. Making sure that we socially distance as much as possible. Wearing those masks, when we cant. We strongly encourage that. I, also, for all of you that are watching this morning is, if you can carry a little container of purell. I mean, just think about it in a restaurant environment. You know, you are youre drinking from a drinking glass. Well, that drinking glass, probably, has been filled by a waiter or waitress that has touched every other glass. So im hypervigilant as we look at that. We dont think about the ways that we can potentially become infected. Can you believe this guy . I mean, what is he talking about . I mean, that went on for, what, like 30, 40 seconds. Hes saying that, you know, hes seen waiters in in you know i im really just stunned that the chief of staff for the president of the United States is encouraging mask wearing, and saying, oh, yeah, no, well, i when asked about the administration. The fact that the administration has become infected with covid because they havent been following guidelines. And the Vice President , the people around the Vice President , are now currently infected. The chief of staff blows that off, and just says, well, i do it. In fact, heres a little tip. Bring some purell with you. Oh, thanks, dr. Fauci. Wow. I mean, wow. Purell. Who thought of that . I mean, this is incredible. That he is acting as if the fact that he, personally, does this, somehow, makes up for the fact that the man he represents and the man he works for is not doing this. And that, right as hes speaking, that very day, theyre going to have a bunch of rallies that are potentially superspreader events with thousands of people, shoulder to shoulder, cheering, spewing droplets on each other. And theyre not telling those people to social distance. Other than the president s one, little line, today . I mean, im sorry. That hes somebody whos supposed to be responsible and thats his response. Man. We are in trouble. We are in trouble. This sure. You can catch covid from contaminated surfaces. But the primary mode of transportation is airborne. Even the president knows this. And so, thats a very tricky one. Thats a very delicate one. Its, also, more deadly than your, you know, your even your strenuous flus. That was the 7th of february, back when he was saying that, privately, to bob woodward. But, publicly, saying it would all just disappear with his buddies, diamond and silk. Where have they been recently, though . The memory is so vivid, its almost as if he were saying it just this afternoon. Our vaccine will eradicate the virus. And by the way, we have it. But whether we have it or not, its rounding the turn. Its rounding the turn. Hes almost bored of that phrase, by now. Its rounding the turn. Its rounding the turn. Its not. Its not. The president s simply lying there. As we reported at the top, this has been the worst single day for new cases in the entire pandemic. More than 83,000 new cases, and counting. And at least 940 people dead, as of 8 00 p. M. , nine minutes ago. Maybe, more have died just in the last nine minutes. A bit later in the program, we are going to talk about new cnn reporting about the president ial influential but unqualified radiologist, member of the task force. In fact, he seems to be the only remaining member in Good Standing with the president. That guy, scott atlas. Hes been pushing states to not test so many people and one state reportedly listened. And guess where that is . Yep, florida. Where joe biden held a sociallydistanced event today, where the president held a potentially superspreader event. And cases topping 4,000 today. As we said, we will be talking to an Infectious Disease specialist. Phil mattingly. So, phil, where do things stand in florida as the path to 270 for the president . Yeah, look, im not going to be breaking any news, anderson, when i say its going to be close. I think everybody agrees on that, in both parties. And everybody also agrees the state of florida, this is the map back in 2016, President Trump winning by about 100,000 votes. Heres where things stand, at this moment. The poll of polls show joe biden with about a threepoint lead. Thats a little sizeable but it gives democrats some hope. The reality, anderson, when you look at this map, its not going to be much different in terms of colors, tuesday night. Democratic strongholds will remain. Same with republicans up top. The question is who can run up votes where they need it, and who can hope to keep margins down in other places that are strong suits . I think, right now, where you see the president and joe biden in the i4 corridor, fighting for the suburbs, fighting for retirees, understanding dynamics of this race right now. While they will head multiple places over the course of the next couple days, Everybody Knows florida matters, perhaps more than anything. What about joe biden . He told voters today in Broward County floridas the key. He can win without florida but it would be extremely, extremely difficult. The gold states are tossups. As it stands, joe bidens already above 270 electoral votes in the current race ratings. Now, say you gave joe biden the state of florida. That puts him at 319. And lets walk through what President Trump could win, and still not reach 270. He could win georgia. He could win north carolina. He could win ohio. He could win iowa. He could win the Second District in maine, up here, for that one electoral vote. And then, he could start digging into democratic territory. He could win nevada. He could go ahead and win arizona, too. In fact, he could win the state of pennsylvania. And look at this. Joe biden is still above 270 electoral votes. Are there pathways, or is there a pathway that President Trump can win 270 electoral votes without florida . Yes. Is it likely . I think both campaigns would acknowledge, if they are being candid, the answers no. There is a sense who is up in florida, just in terms of polls . And could florida send some signals relatively early in the night . I think everybody is trying to get a read on the early vote, right . The early vote is surging around the country and floridas no different, at all. Take a look at this. 7. 3 million votes have come in. 4. 4 million in in mailin ballots, alone. That is almost almost about 75 to the entire 2016 total. Heres the news i think the biden and Trump Campaign are willing to acknowledge about what it might mean for Election Night. Unlike a lot of the midwestern states, florida knows how to handle vote by mail. They dealt with more than 3 million back in 2016. And florida is allowed to process ballots before election day. So when you talk to the biden campaign. When you talk to folks aligned with the biden campaign. One of the reasons they also point to florida, beyond the general electoral map is, if florida goes to biden, they should know early. And if they know early, that will be a good sign for them for the remainder of the night. Again, it is very unlikely we will know the answers to where the midwestern states stand on Election Night. Florida could give an actual idea of where the overall process stands before we even have to worry about those midwestern states. Anderson. Joining us now, massachusetts senator warren. Senator warren, thanks for being with us. With less than five days to go, how are you feeling about the Biden Harris Campaign right now . And frankly, the chances of democrats taking the senate . Look, i feel good. But you get out there and you fight for everything. What seems to me to be the issue everybody has really gotten focused in on is health care. And part of it is around this pandemic. 225,000 people who have died eight months into a pandemic. And donald trump still doesnt have a plan. Doesnt even have a clue in how hes going to deal with this pandemic. And if you cant deal with it, you cant reopen the economy. You cant get this country back on track. But its, also, the second part. And, that is, health care. Access to health care. The republicans have tried repealing the Affordable Care act. Theyve missed that by a single vote. And now, donald trump will be in the United StatesSupreme Court, one week after the election, arguing to repeal the Affordable Care act, get rid of health care coverage, for tens of millions of americans, and end protections for people with preexisting conditions, for tens of millions more. That contrast couldnt be sharper than with joe biden. Joe biden has a plan for dealing with the pandemic, and he is going to expand coverage for everyone. There it is. Its also its also i mean, ive never seen a race for president in which one side does not actually have a Health Care Plan is promising a mysterious one that theyre going to release, you know, i guess, when the audit stops on trumps taxes. You know, theres no plan, it seems. And this is president ial politics. I mean, has there been a race where the president of the United States, the person running, does not have a plan . Actually, i think that donald trump does have a plan. Hes made it clear. His plan is to take away health care from tens of millions of americans, in the middle of a pandemic. That is a plan. Its no plan you and i might like. Its not a plan that human beings would support. Its not a plan that people who care about their families and their friends would support. But, it is a plan, because theyre actually out there executing on it. Its not that theyre just kind of vaguely wandering around. They are actively working to repeal the Affordable Care act. Forcing through a Supreme Court nominee. Stealing a Supreme Court seat, so they can get that crucial, fifth vote, which they now have, to take away health care from an estimated 23 million americans and take away protection from people who have preexisting conditions. That is their plan. Less health care for americans in the middle of a pandemic. I know were you know, everybody, in this country, whether they support the president or not, are used to his lies. Some might not call them lies, but they are lies. Today, him telling a crowd that he likes masks, that they social distance. That theyve always, you know, said, you know, if you cant social distance, wear a mask. He is saying that to a crowd, who is Standing Shoulder to shoulder, not social distanced, and not wearing masks. Even for him, to me, i i was just stunned by that, today. The level of i dont know if its cynical or just shamelessness or i dont even have a question here. I just am stunned that this is the state that we are in, right now. You mean, he stands up there and says, in effect, who you going to believe . Your lying eyes . Or your president . And just puts it right out there. You know, one of the things that gives me the most assurance about having joe biden as president . He will listen to the scientists. He will listen to the epidemiologists. Hes already talked about the importance of doubling down and doubling down, again, on testing and on Contact Tracing and on masks and on protective equipment. Its joe biden will be a realitybased president. Someone who actually pays attention to whats going on, and helps make it better for all of us. I want to ask you about the breaking news tonight. A federal Appeals Court ruling regarding minnesota, saying ballots must be received by election day, there. Cutting off a weeklong window, where state officials had planned to receive ballots that had lingered in the mail. Im wondering, are you concerned about what might happen in the courts, after the election . And about about the actual counting of votes . This is what interests me. Its what happened in minnesota but its happening everywhere. The lawsuits are everywhere. One major, political party, the republicans, is doing their best to prevent american citizens from voting. And theyve got 40 different ways to do that. Whether its when they get when the ballots get counted or when they have to be in by. Or whether or not they can be mailed out, to begin with. Or standing out there, trying to intimidate people who show up to vote. Think about what that means. We have a major, political party, in this country, that believes that the only way that theyve got a shot at hanging onto power is to keep american citizens from voting. So, it makes me say, at this moment, to everyone in this country, whether you are democrat, republican, independent, libertarian, vegetarian, if you have got a ballot, drop it off at the site, if you can. If you can do that, in your state. A ballot box or at your county clerks office. You can go to iwillvote. Com. Punch in your state and it will tell you how to drop off your ballots. Otherwise, go and vote in person. But vote. Because this is democracy, and our democracy depends on people voting. Yeah. So, thats what we got to do. Senator elizabeth warren, i appreciate it. Thanks very much. Thank you. Were going to drill deeper on the medical realities in the state both candidates visited today. What florida really looks like as seen through the eyes of an expert there. We will also talk about the new reporting on infections and the president s rallies and ifeffor by the president s favorite doctor, radiologist, to limit testing in florida. Later, back to politics in the earlyvoting numbers that are already breaking records. R one e time in our lives, got very quiet. We worried over loved ones, over money, over our planet, and over takeout. Lets remember
