Days, god wlg from the time im elected to sworn in to be able to make such a recommendation. Do you have any reaction to President Trump planning an outdoor event at the white house today to celebrate the nomination of Amy Coney Barrett to the Supreme Court . Look. You know, if you have children and you are raised, all parents are taught that the example you set impacts on how your kids react. When youre the boss of an operation, the example you set, what you do matters to the rest of the company. Well, the words of a president and actions of a president matter a great deal. When the president of the United States puts on these superspreader events. You saw what happened when she was announced. All of the people including his family, thank god they seem to be okay. All of the people came down with covid. I just hope he is willing to have learned a lesson and there will be significant social distancing. I dont mean him for celebrating. A lot of things we could be doing having massive crowds. But the fact is that its just not appropriate now. So i just i just hope he and the Vice President and others act with some dispatch and do it that Everybody Knows people should be tested first before they even show up. Number one. Number two, they should be Wearing Masks. Number three, they should be socially distanced. Number four, it shouldnt be a huge crowd whether its outside or not. Thank you all very, very much. Form erm vice presideer vice biden taking questions in chester, pennsylvania, outside of philadelphia and an important area for any politician trying to win the commonwealth of pennsylvania. The Vice President and former Vice President really focusing on his Closing Argument which is that President Trump has mishandled the pandemic and continues to do so. Lets go right to cnns jessica dean. This was clearly an unexpected stop from the former Vice President . Reporter yep. Yes. We were not expecting this stop. This was a last minute in the afternoon. He is talking to voters in Delaware County, pennsylvania, one of the collar counties around philadelphia and its going to be really, really important in the battleground state of pennsylvania. They always look what is happening in the suburban counties seeing biden doing well with suburban voters and especially women and not a surprise he is going there. We heard him again going back to the covid pandemic. This has been central to their campaign. It is a giant part of their Closing Argument. That is that President Trump and his administration have not acted in the best interest of the American People. You heard him going after the Trump Administration, President Trump and Vice President pence about how they are campaigning. We have noticed and drawn attention to just in the last hour that biden is not officially on the campaign trail today with a rally or a planned stop. His campaign saying they are doing this because they have to campaign safely and effectively during a pandemic and he talked a little bit about that, jake. But, again, going back to covid, go back how he would handle it as a sharp contrast how the Trump Administration has handled it thus far. A real indication of how much both biden and trump are competing for pennsylvania. Biden there today doing two events and one in Chester County and one in Delaware County and President Trump doing three events in pennsylvania as well. Jessica dean, thank you. One week and one day to election day and pandemic is reaching new cases of spreading to new cases president of the United States is pushing the falsehood that the u. S. Is rounding the corner on the pandemic. The United States is not rounding the kocorner on the pandemic. Hospitalizations and deaths and cases are up. U. S. Recorded a 500,000 new cases and the most ever in a single week. At least 5 of the 8. 6 million cases in the u. S. Are from the Vice President s inner circle. Yet, Vice President is not quarantining even though he came in close contact with one of those individuals and defying cdc guidance claiming he is an essential worker. Pence is head of the Coronavirus Task force and he finished a rally and masks not required and no social distancing. People grouped in tight bunches. When we know that these rallies trump rallies have been linked to the spread of coronavirus. In minutes, President Trump is holding his own third rally. Another potential superspreader event. Just today by all appearances, the president has given up trying to control the spread of coronavirus in the United States and now his chief of sta mar meadows acknowledged that to me on tv yesterday. Saying their goal is not to contain the virus from spreading throughout the nation. We are not going to control the pandemic but control we get vaccines and other mitigations. Why not control the pandemic . Its a contagious virus just like the flu. We are not controlling the pandemic said the white house chief of staff. A stunning admission from the Trump Administration as we enter this new worsening phase of the pandemic. As cnns Kaitlan Klein ncollins reports. Absolutely the opposite. We have done an incredible job. Reporter trump praising efforts as he attempted to clean up this admission from his chief of staff. We are not going to control the pandemic. We are going to control the fact that we get vaccines therapeutics and other mitigation. Why not we get control of the pandemic . Because it is a contagious virus just like the flu. Reporter joe biden called that moment a candid acknowledgment of what President Trumps strategy has clearly been from the beginning, to wave the white flag of defeat. Trump fired back at biden today. No, no. He has waved the white flag on life. He doesnt leave his basement. This guy doesnt leave his basement. Reporter with only eight days until the election, biden making a surprise stop in pennsylvania as trump holds three rallies there today where he claimed Media Coverage of the Global Pandemic is intended to hurt him. All they want to talk about is covid. On november 4th you wont hear so much about it. Covid covid covid. Reporter the president doesnt mention the new rising cases and infections in the white house after five people and Vice President mike pences orbit tested positive. Despite the head of the Coronavirus Task force, pence is refusing to quarantine and citing federal rules on essential workers. The Vice President has great knowledge about the disease and pandemic and knows the right pr protocols to follow. Senators will vote on barretts nomination tonight answer pence indicated this weekend he would preside over the vote. Im going to be in the chair because i wouldnt miss that vote for the world. Reporter but it turns out hell miss the vote. Pence aide telling cnn today hell no longer attend unless a tiebreaking vote is needed which isnt likely. Now when the president was asked earlier today about this event he said its not going to be a large event but we are hearing its expected to be held on the south lawn, a large venue tonight. The chief of staff said earlier there will be social distancing but not mentioned if its required to get tested before that event or wear a mask while there. Justice Clarence Thomas is expected to administer the oath to barrett once the vote happens tonight around 7 30 is what we are expecting so far in the senate. I want to bring in chief medical correspondent dr. Sanjay gupta. Before we get to some of the policy ideas here, i want to take a second and reflect on President Trump saying falsely we are going to cover once in a century pandemic that has killed more than 225,000 americans and infected more than 8. 7 million including people we know. The idea that he is mocking it, covid, covid, covid. I mean, i and you know people who have lost loved ones to this virus. Its just shocking to hear the president of the United States talk about this deadly pandemic so glibly. Absolutely. Jake, it was what i was thinking immediately when i heard those comments. The cognitive dissidence him here in terms of forgot about waving the white flag. I think its worse than that. I heard your interview over the weekend. This has been a pursuit of herd immunity and basically not only just wave the white flag but let this infection, you know, run through the nation and we have talked many times about how destructive that would be in terms of the number of people who would die, the number of hospitals become overwhelmed which is already happening and, jake, you know, this idea that we dont know how long the immunity lasts so people get infected. We have these terrible things that happened. Then it is sort of treadmilling, youre running in place so long and not achieving anything. It was discouraging to hear this many months into the pandemic i think for you and me, jake. We have talked about this so many times. Its incredibly frustrating. Yeah. By the way, in terms of herd immunity, we know of individuals who got the virus, then got better, then got it again and some of them have even died. It might be very, very rare but we dont know anything about immunity at this point. There is evidence to the contrary. Yeah. Its a terrible strategy all around. The herd immunity was never supposed to play out this way. Ask any Public Health person. The idea to prevent these illnesses in the first place was always the strategy. The best strategy. This idea that youre going to have this faux immunity and we dont know how long it lasts and people get reinfected, it boggles my mind. I watched your interview on thing. The same thing that scott atlas is saying but they are doing for the herd immunity to take hold. Terrible idea and should be clear about that. White house chief of star mark meadows said you could control the virus. You cant control the pandemic. Joe bidens response so this is the white house is waving a white flag. What do you think . Is that a fair description by biden of the position of the white house . You know, i think its worse than that. I mean, to say that we surrender is one thing but the idea to say, hey, look, we are not only going to surrender but lay down and basically let this virus take over, take a hold of the country. Jake, five people infected in the most arguably the most secure house in the world, the white house, you know . The five people were infected in the entire country of new zealand during that same time. It is far more nefarious than i think saying, look, this is a contagious virus and doing the best we can. This is we havent done the best we can and purposely didnt do the best we can in terms of testing and advocating mask wearing and not keeping things shut down necessarily but not allowing large gatherings of people and indoor settings and all of that made differences around the world we didnt do. Not only surrender, we enabled this virus to really sort of take over. Pence is refusing to quarantine, the Vice President. He was exposed to marc short who was has covid19. E this. A different definition screen we can put up when constitutes an essential worker. Its jobs that preserve and protect National Security and Public Health. Jobs that are essential for the country to keep running. This is not that. In fact, and not to be overly ironic here but what he is doing potentially puts people at risk in regard to Public Health. If the goal is i need to be in this job because my job is essential to preserving Public Health in this country but in order to do that, i am going to potentially be Walking Around with a virus, not always even wearing a mask, potentially in fact,ing other people. Its almost the opposite. I dont want to be glib line youre saying, jake, but it is exactly the wrong thing to do. We know that testing is one strategy but people can test negative today and test positive tomorrow. I hope i know that the Vice President and the second lady have been tested, they are negative. But, you know, this is a concern for them and also a concern for everyone around them. Since President Trump returned to the campaign trail from his own bout with coronavirus, hes been actually making matters even worse. He has been falsely saying every day that the u. S. Is rounding the corner even though that is not true. We have the worst week ever of new infection. Several states are reporting record high hospitalizations and governors, democrats, republicans are saying their Health Systems are being overwhelmed. I dont understand it. Youd think that he would have some humility about this given the fact that according to himself, according to his own words, he almost died from this and, of course, he had this incredible therapeutics. What is your reaction . Yeah, im really surprised, you know, just as a doc, taking care of patients who have had these brushes with their own mortality or had severe illness. It typically is not only physical but psychological sort of gamechanger for them in terms of how they approach their lives. People exercise more after they have had some sort of heart problem and this is the opposite. Whether he feels this way or saying what he is saying, i have no way of knowing. Look at Chris Christie who spent seven days in the icu and came out essentially a changed man with regards his positioning on coronavirus and Wearing Masks. He is surprised that the Vice President is not quarantining, Chris Christie is saying that. This is a bit surprising. Jake, its that hospitalization number that i think is so critical because people, i think the number of people who become newly infected every day, im getting the sense that is starting to wash over people when we give those numbers. They are not really absorbing it. Its like too many numbers to absorb. Once you start running into a situation as you correctly mentioned where Hospital Systems are starting to feel like we are getting pretty full here and starting to look around. Do we need to start cancelling elective surgery and do we have enough and think about other fatalities outside of the hospital . Those are happening in many cities around the country. We did not need to do in that position. The same number of cases in new zealand yesterday that happened in the white house. That does not need to be happening here. That is what we know. This is an white house that keeps information from us. Mark meadows tried to hide the outbreak among the Vice President s staff and there might be more cases in the white house that they are not telling us about. What the Campaign Stops tell us about the strategy for the final day before election day and take a closer look at the seven states that could decide who takes the oath of office in january. At heinz, every ketchup starts with our same tomatoes. But not every tomato ends in the same kind of heinz ketchup. Because you cant be everyones favorite ketchup without making a ketchup for everyone. Such as high blood pressure,ve evepdiabetes, and asthma. Sp this administration and Senate Republicans want to overturn laws requiring Insurance Companies to cover people with preexisting conditions. Theyre rushing a lifetime appointment to the Supreme Court to change the law through the courts. 70 of americans want to keep protections for preexisting conditions in place.
