Transcripts For CNNW The Lead With Jake Tapper 20201001

Comments attacking refugees as well as democratic congresswoman ilhan omar telling supporters biden would, quote, turn minnesota into a refugee camp and congresswoman omar, quote, tells us how to run our country. Once again falsely implying that the United States is not her country, despite the fact that congresswoman omar is an american citizen. She came here as a war refugee as a child. As Kaitlan Collins reports based on the behavior of the white house secretary, a refusal to condemn White Supremacists and far right bigoted groups, the proud boys, appears to be Trump Administration policy. Reporter the White House Press secretary was given three opportunities today to clearly denounce White Supremacy and violent far right groups but declined every single one. On the debate stage the president was asked this and he said sure three times. Reporter President Trump said he would condemn White Supremacists but he never actually did. Proud boys, stand back and stand by. The proud boys are a far right group that endorses violence and has since adopted President Trumps words as their slogan. Somebody denounces you wouldnt put it on a tshirt and make badges. The president did denounce. He said sure. He said stand back. Yesterday when he was asked he said specifically stand down. Reporter the president s pony part continues to distance themselves from his remarks arguing he should be more forceful with White Supremacy, a domestic threat the fbi director warned about. The president say in no uncertain terms, these groups arent right. I explicitly call them out and condemn them. Should we here those words from the president . I think we should hear them from the president and every american. Tim scott, the only black republican in the senate, said yesterday the president should clarify if he made a mistake. Today the white house said he didnt misspeak. I think he misspoke in response to Chris Wallaces comments when he was asked what he want to say. If he misspoke, he should correct it. If he didnt, he shouldnt. Today the white house asked if the president would attend the next debate since the commission that runs them is now considering changing the rules to minimize interruptions. He wants to debate. He plans on being at the debate, but he wants the rules to be fair and wants a Fair Exchange and doesnt want rules this cover for a certain candidates ability to perform well. Now, jake, the president s Campaign Just held a call with reporters going after the commission on president ial debates saying they do not believe they are nonpartisan as they tout themselves as a nonpartisan, Nonprofit Organization that organizes these debates. They said they do not want any changes to happen before the second and third debate they have agreed to. Of course, you know the cpd put out a statement saying they are considering structural changes so the debate doesnt look like what it did tuesday night. They said the Biden Campaign suggested this is what the Trump Campaign is saying putting in opening and closing statements, less time for open debate and more direct questions from the moderators. There was talk of a mute button, jake. Since they dont want changes on the Trump Campaign side, its an open question of what its going to look like and how they are going to resolve this since both candidates agreed to the rules they are going to set. Kaitlan collins, thank you so much. Appreciate that. Here to discuss Tammy Duckworth of illinois. Senator, President Trump has been given the opportunity multiple times to clean up his comments about White Supremacists who he never actually explicitly called out or said he didnt want their votes as well as calling out neofascist group proud boys, instead he said this. Take a listen. Done in new york, like they have done in new york. Youve denounced ive always denounced any form of any of that you have to denounce. Any form of any of that, but not specifically condemning what was being asked about. Whats your response . Utter disgust. The president of the United States needs to condemn White Supremacy. Listen, im not surprised, though. Youre talking about donald trump, the same guy who wouldnt condemn White Supremacy in charlottesville and who, by the way, who was a candidate in 2016 pretended he did not know who david duke was, former grand wizard of the kkk. Its not surprising, its disgusting. When you think this is the commander in chief of the United States military and think of all who are serve commander in chief who refuses to condemn White Supremacy. Its unacceptable. You represent illinois who has its own history of neonazis in that state. Fbi and Homeland Security say racially motivated violent extremism is one of the deadliest threats we face in the u. S. Specifically among racially violent extremism far right White Supremacists specifically. What would you like to see done about this threat . First and foremost, we need a new president , right . We need a president who is actually going to condemn while the supremacy. By the way, this president has stoked racial divisions in this country. Weve seen an increase in all sorts of violence that is racially motivated every since donald trump became president. Weve seen it against blacks, jews, muslims, asian americans. Anything he can do to divide us as a nation, donald trump has worked very hard to stoke those divisions. So i want to see the president of the United States condemn White Supremacy. I also want a president of the United States that will lead us out of the Global Pandemic were in, one who is going to reunite us and get us out of the economic crisis were in. A real leader, kmarpd in chief with our military. We dont have that with donald trump and we will with joe biden. I have noticed there are some in the Democratic Party who harbor antisemitic democratic officials and democratic activists who harbor antisemitic views. Louis farrakhan has allies in congress. Is it important for democrats obviously based on what the fbi says, its not as big a threat, so i dont want there to be any questions about equivalence in terms of threats, but should democrats call those individuals out as well . I condemn all form of racial violence. I personally condemn White Supremacy, i couple violence and antisemitism. I think we as a nation are stronger when we come together. Our diversity makes us stronger. The divisions that this president strokes does not help us emerge from the pandemic. Weve lost 200,000 american lives so far. We have at least another 7 million who are covid positive. Still a president who does not do anything to help lead us out of the crisis hes led us into. At a rally last night in minnesota, trump erenewed attacs on ilhan omar. Take a listen. What is going on with omar. Ive been reading reports for two years about how corrupt and crooked she is. Lets get with it. How the hell, then she tells us how to run our country. Can you believe it . How the hell did minnesota elect her . How whether or not the hell is wrong with you people . How to run our country. People can take issues with her remarks that have been made that are offensive but this is, indeed, her country. Whats your reaction . This is typical of trump and his supporters. We recently saw them attack me and question my lineage in this country, whereas my country has served in uniform back to the revolution. This is what they do, they create this president , his bread and butter is to create divisions within us to turn us against each other and we cannot allow that to happen. We cannot let him appeal to the worst instincts, especially in a time of crisis. This is what authoritarian regions do. This is what dictators do, failed despots do. They find scapegoats to distract from issues at hand. The real is this president is responsible for leading us into a failed response to this pandemic that has resulted in 200,000 dead americans. What does donald trump want to distract us from . He wants to distract us from the fact americans cant pay their mortgage, cant pay their rent, dont have jobs, our economy has tanked. He still hasnt done anything. Dont play his game and dont let him distract you from the real issues at hand. Were not better off as a country than four years ago. We have a chance for change and people need to vote november 3rd. Quick question, judge Amy Coney Barrett, you voted against her nomination for the appeals, you said you would vote the same way for the Supreme Court. Shouldnt you sit down with her first before deciding . Well, shes made it very clear and her support from groups that are against womens reproductive choices. I will tell you, though, that the previous two trump nominees refused to sit down with me. Let me just tell you, her support for groups in this latest report that say that the fertilized egg is a human life, and that doctors who perform fertility treatments that may result in the destruction of a fertilized egg should be charged with a crime. I cannot support that. My daughters my daughters were created with in vitro fertilization. For her to support a group that would say that my doctor in creating my precious beautiful two girls could be charged with manslaughter because one of those fertilized eggs was not viable is not acceptable. You know what, its not just about talking to her, its about me talking to my colleagues on the senate floor. Im going to go and find my republicans when i brought my daughter at 9 days old and cooed over her and thought how great it was to have the first baby on the senate floor, im going to to her and say if this nominee has her way, there would be no more of these babies. My fertility doctors and the doctors that provide the hope of families to create families and have children, they would put those doctors in jail, and i will not let that happen.

But despite the rising pain and anguish made worse during the pandemic, Insurance Companies still refused to cover Mental Health and addiction treatment. Until now. Senator scott wiener went to work taking them on. Passing a law requiring the Insurance Industry to cover Mental Health and addiction treatment. Now more than ever, californians need Mental Health coverage. I wont let up until the stigma of Mental Health and addiction is finally over. In our money lead today with Congress Stalled on stimulus relief plan for coronavirus, businesses continue to close down and lay off workers and at an incredible clip. Just this week retail store h m announced they are closing 250 stores. 250. Disney is cutting 28,000 jobs mainly at their theme parks. With Airline Travel down 70 from this time last year, united and American Airlines today announced job cuts for 32,000 employees. Delta ceo also telling cnn that nearly 2,000 of their pilots may be at risk of layoffs. Pete, 32,000 job cuts between two major airlines. What does this signal about the future of air frafl . It is not a good sign for the airline industry, jake. Reality is setting in for tens of thousands of airline employees now furloughed. They lobbied congress for months for an extra 25 billion to avoid this october 1st furlough deadline by an extra six months. Whats so interesting now airlines are saying if congress can get its act together in the next few days, it will recall employees back from the unemployment line. Here are the latest number from airline. American Airlines Says its furloughed 19,000 employees effective today. 13,000 united airlines. The total when you consider smaller and regional, 50,000 industry wide. They are pilots, mechanics, gate agents, flight attendants like ali, an merrill flight attendants for nine years shes one of the flight attendants without a job. Im trying not to cry today, trying to hold it together because we still have an opportunity to get this done, two press undo. We have an opportunity to fix this before the Ripple Effect takes ahold on the hole economy. Just to put this all in perspective, the furloughs at American Airlines alone, those people could nearly fill capital one arena here in washington, d. C. This could be the single worst day of job losses in the entire history of aviation. Jake. Pete, thank you so much for that sobering report. Pete muntean. Our health lead easing restrictions and cold weather moving in states that flattened their curve are once again seeing spikes as cnn nick watt reports. Reporter wisconsin is in trouble. Average case counts climbed to stunning 300 just the past month. Look at that line . This is not the time to be holding a rally in wisconsin. The president had planned 2011 his notoriously unmasked maga rallies in wisconsin. The one in lacrosse was canceled. We are in a severe situation with covid. Unclear whats happening with the one in green bay. One hospital out of the four in green bay has more patients than the entire city had at our peak in april. Reporter more than half of states are right now heading in the wrong direction. Average new case counts climbing. New york now seeing spikes in at least 20 zip codes, most in new york city. There are increases primarily in brooklyn. A cluster today can become Community Spread tomorrow. Reporter reopening city schools goes on for now, but kids do spread this virus among themselves, so says a large new study out of india, which found young and middle aged results are the primary source of Community Spread. Up in boston after a rise in new cases, many among college students, they just pump the brakes on reopening some businesses and wont allow bigger gatherings. You want to be treated as adults, well, then act it. Meanwhile astrazenecas vaccine trials on hold in the u. S. , paused after an illness of a volunteer in the uk. Fda wont explain why. I cant speak to confidential information. Moderna says it probably wont have enough data to file for emergency use authorization until late november. So after the election. The ceo says their vaccine likely wont be widely available until the spring despite what the president claims. Its going to be very, very soon and before the end of the year. Maybe sooner than that. New Research Posted online concludes this man, our president its like a miracle. It will disappear. Hydroxychloroquine, try it. Were rounding the corner on the pandemic. This man was likely the largest driver of the covid19 misinformation infodemmic. Now, the white house gave us a statement about that study and it reads in part, this study could not be further from the proof. The president s message has been consistent from the beginning. Resilience, hope, optimism. Ironically that statement is not entirely accurate. Jake, we just heard that maga rally planned in wisconsin for lacrosse has been moved to janesville. The Campaign Said nothing to do with covid, it was a lease issue on the venue. Jake. Resilience, hope, optimism, the study wasnt about whether the president was promoting resilience, hope, optimism, it was about whether he shared misinformation, which he did over and over and over. Correct. He did, jake. He did on so many things, and it can cost lives. Misinformation can cost lives. Indeed. Nick watt. Thank you so much. Cnns medical correspondent dr. Sanjay gupta joining us. President trump planning to hold a rally in wisconsin, which is seeing massive spikes and deaths and hospitalizations. The ignorance is not just the president s. Take a listen for vice chairman in the Republican Party where its set to be hold. If youre coming to take whatever precautions you need to be safe. I dont have a reason to wear a mask. Im not sick.
