They end the National Nightmare the coronavirus pandemic . The president is saying the virus are go away and this is more about the news media than the pandemic. You turn on television, code, covid, covid, covid, a plane goes down, 500 people dead, they dont talk about it. Code, covid, covid. On november 5th you wont hear about it anymore. So covid, covid, please dont go and vote, covid. The Inconvenient Truth is the virus is not going away. In fact, the pandemic is getting worse in the United States. The Johns HopkinsUniversity Reported 83,757 new cases of the coronavirus in the u. S. Just yesterday. This is the highest number of new confirmed cases reported in a single day since the pandemic began early this year. 94 3 americans, by the way, died on friday from covid 19. Youll the rallies in the world will not make this pandemic go away. Some of them actually, given whats going on at these rallies, could make it a whole lot worse. President trump is minutes away from taking the stage in walk shaw, wisconsin. Feeling the rath of the new surge, whats the latest . It certainly is. Yesterday we saw across the United States a Record Number of new cases. That was also reflected here in wisconsin which saw a Record Number of new cases yesterday, up more than 4500 cases. This is a state thats averaging nearly 4,000 cases a day. About 1200 people in wisconsin are currently hospitalized with coronavirus. About a month ago that number was only at about 300, so really an exponential rise in coronavirus cases. Despite that, the president is holding another rally in the state. We are here last week when he had a rally and now the president rallying, thousands of people here. There are slightly more Wearing Masks that weve seen previously but still a majority of the people are not Wearing Masks. Thats because the president of the United States continues to downplay the importance of mask wearing, he continues to downplay the pandemic and lie about the surge in cases were seeing. Listen to the president earlier today on how he compares the Coronavirus Crisis. Youre not going to hear on news. Cnn all they talk about, covid, covid, covid. If a plane goes down with 500 people, they dont talk about it. Because theyre trying to scare everybody. You have to lead your life. You have to get out. Be vigilant. Be careful. Socially distance. Yeah, get too close, put the mask on. Put it on. Lots of different things. The last three and a half years reporter when you hear the president compare the crisis to a plane crash with 500 people dying, not only would we obviously cover that but right now were in a situation where nearly two 500person planes are crashing every single day in the United States. If you use the president s metrics, 500 people in a plane crash, we have lost 449 planes since the beginning of this Coronavirus Crisis here in the United States. And yet despite that, wolf, here the president continues to downplay this pandemic, including right here in the state of wisconsin, which as we said, is experiencing a surge in cases and is a crucial Battle Ground state. The president won this by fewer than 23,000 votes in 2016 and hes looking to cap dhur state once again as part of his path to 270 Electoral College votes. Sadly we are talking about death. There have been so many deaths. Right now more than 224,000 mem americans have lost their lives. Thank you. Barack obama stuffing for joe biden in florida taking direct aim at President Trump during a drivein campaign rally. Were following the Biden Campaign for us. To put it simply, president obama did not mince any words at all. What did we hear from the former president of the u. S. With ten days to go . Reporter president obama asking them to deliver florida for joe biden in november. The former president also saying that if biden wins florida, the election is essentially over. While the former president vouched for his former Vice President , he also took aim at President Trump. Criticizing his hamming of the coronavirus pandemic. Also slamming the president s behavior, saying its not normal for a president to behave that way in office. President obama also took aim over that 0 minutes interview President Trump earlier this week. He asked what was your priority in the second term. Ive run for president , miami, so i want you to know, its a good idea to have an answer to this question. Its a good idea if youre running for reelection to say heres what i want to accomplish. What did trump say . He got mad and walked out of the interview. He thought the questions were too tough. Too tough miami, listen. If he cant answer a tough question about what would you like to do in your second term, then its our job to make sure he doesnt get a second term. Reporter president obama was trying to appeal to hispanic voters in the miami area, pushing back on President Trump and republicans attempts to paint joe biden as a socialist. The former president called that garbage and said that biden is not a secret socialist at all. One of the really key messages that you heard from obama here today in anyway is urging their supporters to get out and make plans to vote early. More than five million votes have been cast here in the state of florida alone so far with just ten kay days to go until the election. The Biden Campaign focussing on turnouts in the critical Battle Ground states. K just ten days to go. Wolf. Hes still got it. If President Trump doesnt carry florida, its almost certainly going to be the end of his presidency. Hes not going to get reelected. Florida, florida, florida, so important. Thank you. Joining us, cnn contributor an epidemiologist and former Detroit Health commissioner. Also a former disease detective with the cdc. As much as the president wants to focus on his reelection bid, he cant escape the fact that its maying out against the backdrop of a deadly pandemic, a pandemic thats only getting worse, well over 83,000 new confirmed cases just reported yesterday by the Johns Hopkins university as the highest number here in this country since the pandemic began. I want both of you to take a look at a moment from the press conference with the illinois director of Public Health. Watch this. We lost an additional 31 lives for a total of 9,418 deaths. These are people who started with us in 2020 and wont be with us at the thanksgiving table. To date we are reporting 3,874 new cases for a total of 364,033 confirmed cases since the start of this pandemic. Excuse me, please. Doctor getting very emotional. Totally understandable. Doctor, you were detroits health commissioner. When you see that, when you hear the pain in her voice, whats your reaction . Health professionals have been working round the clock to try and lasso this pandemic down and all theyre seeing is a spike right now as we head into the winter months. That is so disheart oening. Anytime anybody in your community suffers, you feel it. When youre quoting numbers in the thousands and tens of thousands, youre going to feel it more. Its a stark contrast to what were seeing out of this president. 449 jumbo jet crashes in the context of this pandemic somehow is overblown. That contrast should teach you something and tell you something about the failure of simple humanity and empathy at the top. That has left state commissionerings and City Health Commissioners trying to shuffle to make up for the failed federal leadership. I feel deeply for her. I understand exactly where shes coming from and i think americans do, too. Listen to this. And im desperate to find a message that will work. Im looking for someone to tell me what the message is so we can do what it takes to turn this around. The virus is pitting one group against one another. We need to fight against the virus. We cant do that. We have some tools to do that. We dont have a cure yet. We dont have a vaccine yet but we have a mask and were asking people to use that. I dont know what else we can say. Doctor, whats the bottom line here . What will make people realize how serious all this is. Clearly that message will not be coming from the president. Clearly, it wont, wolf. In fact, what weve gotten is so much disinformation and misinformation, i hope that the emotion in her words and the humanity in her message is what resonates with people. That for a Public Health leader that we can trust. Shes talking about in real terms, we dont have a cure. Thats honest. But we do have things that work, things as simple as a mask. Weve talked over the last seven months about the university of washington studies that show if 90 to 95 of americans were to do that simple thing of wearing a mask and wearing it diligently, wed save tens of thousands of lives. Thats whats at stake here. Were approaching a death toll in america of a quarter of a Million People that weve lost to this virus. There are projections that show a terrible scenario that by the end of february next year, we could have lost half a million americans to this pandemic. More than the death toll from the second world war. It comes down to something quite simple. Physical distancing, hand hygiene, mask wearing, which im sure people are tired of hearing but it is what can protected us. We have some Public Officials who are pedalling misinformation. Youre so right. Doctor, 34 estatstates are repo a rise. Weve been reporting more than 83,000 new confirmed cases across the United States, the highest number yet since the beginning of the pandemic. What would you say to someone watching right now in one of those states where cases are spiking, what should they be doing to stay safe, to keep their loved ones safe, to keep their friends safe right now . This is a scary time. But fortunately, there are things we can do. This is a function of the choices that we make. Number one, weve got as the doctor said, weve got to be wearing our masks. Most important Public Health intervention we can do. Masks are annoying. After a certain point on the day you get tired. If it means protecting yourself, it means protecting your community and taking this on. I think its worth it. Look, i know that right now were headed into the holidays. There are a lot of folks who want to too it together. If you can, make sure theres fewer people there and youre socially distanced and maybe this time its worth not going. The last thing ill say is this weve got a choice about what kind of future we want. Weve got a choice about what the next couple of months look like. I live in a state where the numbers are setting record, but weve got a choice. Im asking everybody to do what they can to protect themselves, their family members, and the people in their community. We can do this. We are americans. When we come together theres nothing we cant take on. This is a choice we have to make. I believe we can make the right decision. Dr. Fauci and dr. Francis collins say theyre sadly not going to be spending time with their family out of concern. You got to be safe. You got to be very, very careful. Right now as so many other families across the country are sadly going to avoid the traditional dinners at the end of november. Thanks to both of you for what youre doing. We really appreciate it. Thank you wolf. A new report tonight suggests the president is ditching some senators fighting for reelection. His bleak assessment of the gops prospects for keeping a majority in the u. S. Senate.

Very tough, the president said, at a fundraiser thursday at the national marriott. According to an attendee there are a couple of senators i cant really get involved in, i just cant do it. You lose your soul if you do. I cant help some of them. I dont want to help some of them, close quote. Joining us is political senior commentator david axlerod. David, thanks for joining us. Do you think the president is looking solely at political math or is this about loyalty to him . Well, i think everything is always about loyalty to him, so i think thats certainly an element of it, because you see, several senators have been distancing themselves from him. Susan collins, obviously, in maine who refused to endorse him. Martha mcsally refused to answer a question as to whether she was proud of her support for him. And even john cornyn who is part of the leadership in the senate and has a closer than expected race in texas has now gup begun criticize the president s handling of the coronavirus. That disturbs the president. Theres no doubt about it. So its a little bit of a case of youre breaking with me . No. Im breaking up with you. Theres an element of that. So i think theres another reason for it which is that if the president s sending a signal to these donors, dont expect to have a senate as a hedge against biden. If what youre thinking is that if biden gets elected its not a tragedy because youve got a republican senate, youre not going to have a republican senate. So you better make sure that i get reflekt electricity elecre. Very interesting indeed. As you know, Senate Republicans will likely confirm the president s third u. S. Supreme court pick on monday. Theres no deal on an economic stimulus package for so many suffering americans and there likely wont be before the election. Do you believe thats adding to the president s pessimism about control of the senate . I dont know but im sure hes irritated with the senate. Republican senators have indicated they do not want to vote on a stimulus before the election. This has been the position of senator mcconnell and even though the president likes to blame nancy pelosi for the stalled state of negotiations, it has been the republicans in the senate who have be balking at any kind of large stimulus, and im sure hes frustrated about it because it probably would help the president if he signed a stimulus package before the election and the senate is standing in his way. Joe biden spent at least part of the day campaigning in pennsylvania, a state that the president won back in 2016. Biden is up seven points in the cnn poll of polls. There you see the numbers. 5144. Is it smart for him to spend Precious Campaign there when this so many other Battle Ground states in play right now . How much reliability are the polls showing given the example of what occurred four years ago . Yeah, yeah. Well, look, i think that the thee states that are most critical to him here are pennsylvania, michigan, and wisconsin. Those are the states that really delivered the presidency to donald trump by very narrow margins four years ago. Theyre states of particular strength for biden. He is a native of pennsylvania. He has always done well in these Northern Industrial states. And so i think its smart to buckle down there. One of the mistakes Hillary Clinton made in twaktz not to campaign in some of these states, wisconsin, most notably, and so i dont think biden wants to make the same mistakes but is using his surrogates in an impressive way. President obama was in florida today. Obama is important to biden. Florida is a state where all the ballots will be counted on Election Night. They count their absentee ballots in real time. Pennsylvania, wisconsin, michigan. Were not sure were going to get a verdict from them for several days. Floridas important, and Barack Obamas important to him, where minority voters may make the difference, so it seems to me the Biden Campaign are being very strategic about how theyre di
