Scranton, pennsylvania. Good morning, im sandra smith. Hi, trace. Trace im trace gallagher. Coronavirus pandemic was the focus for both candidates yesterday. Mr. President said a vaccine could be ready as soon as october. Disputing a longer timeline from the director of the cdc. Our chief White House Correspondent john roberts live on the north lawn. What are we expecting from the candidates today . You can probably expect to hear more about coronavirus and vaccines and mask wearing and everything. The president heading to mosinee, wisconsin. The president believes he can bring the numbers in. Joe biden will be in scranton, pennsylvania, the president likes to remind is no longer his home for a cnn town hall. The president was there for an abc town hall tuesday. Pushing back about redfield where he said vaccines not being available to the general public until next summer. I asked the president about the timeline. He said the vaccine for the general public likely will not be available until next summer or early fall. I think he made a mistake when he said that. Its incorrect information. I called him and he didnt tell me that. I think he got the message maybe confused. Maybe it was stated incorrectly. Were ready to go immediately as the vaccine is announced. It could be announced in october, could be announced a little bit after october. The president told me after redfield said that to congress he called the cdc director to ask him why he said it. The white house insisted high risk individuals and hospital workers will get the first vaccine there will be 7 million doses, the end of march 2021. Number of months before redfield said it would be available. The president criticizing joe biden for engaging in what he called antivaccine rhetoric. Biden casting doubt on anything that comes out of the white house before the election. Listen here. Let me be clear. I trust vaccines. I trust the scientists. But i dont trust donald trump. The white house also pushing back against what dr. Redfield said about mask wearing. He testified yesterday that masks may be more effective controlling the spread of the coronavirus than a vaccine. Here is mark meadows this morning. When you look at if masks is the panacea for everything, then we can have everybody going back to work if theyll just wear a mask. I dont know that dr. Redfield will say that. Other doctors dont say that. If thats the way we open back our economy and get everybody back to work i will gladly wear my mask each and every day if thats what makes the difference. And it doesnt. Redfield clarified his testimony in a pair of tweets writing i 100 believe in the importance of vaccines and of a covid19 vaccine. It is the thing that will get americans back to normal everyday life. The best defense we currently have against this virus for the mitigation efforts are wearing a mask, washing your hands, social distancing and being careful about crowds. It is true that hhs and fda will take the lead in the development, approval and distribution of a vaccine. For there to be such a split between the white house and cdc director is unusual. Joe biden saying he believes that as president , he would have the authority, trace, to issue a National Mask wearing mandate if states dont comply with it. I think he might get a legal challenge on that front. Trace one or two. John roberts live at the white house. Sandra one of the two l. A. Sheriffs deputies shot in a compton ambush has been released from the hospital. The 24yearold male officer is now home. Female partner who helped save his life remains hospitalized. She is reportedly in stable condition and expected to fully recover. Investigators say they have multiple leads on who pulled the trigger. As of this morning a manhunt is still underway. Trace Minneapolis City Council members pressuring the police chief to address a surge in more crime after they voted to eliminate the police department. Council members sounding the alarm during a meeting yesterday. The crime is actually spreading out. What people want to know is mpds response. People are asking where is the police . Thats the only Public Safety option they have at the moment. We have officers on the street telling people they arent enforcing crime. What do we do . I know its not only the police department. Thats who people are looking to right now. In july the council took several steps toward dismantling the City Police Department approving an amendment to reall koit 1 million to the Health Department to hire violent interrupters. Sandra for more on this lets bring in Dan Henninger. Your piece this morning is fascinating because you are basically asking how bad does this violence have to get before it dramatically impacts joe bidens ability to lead his campaign to victory . In your piece you call democrat madness, political insanity can be defined refusing the admit the reality about destructive violence. Tell us about it, dan. Well, its been a question ever since this began whether the law and order issue raised by President Trump and the republicans at their convention would rise to the level of a significant political issue. A lot of people thought well, not really. It wasnt on peoples minds. We had a monmouth poll this week its on the minds of 67 of respondents. 60 of black respondents also thought law and order has become a big problem in the United States. And so it is now indeed an issue on the table as we just heard from these folks in minneapolis. But i think there is more bad news for the Biden Harris Campaign and that was the demonstration outside the hospitalization in los angeles when demonstrators screamed we hope you die. Increasingly apparent to me as the left wing protestors are bordering on the insane. I make this point because we have watched these protests, been told they have been peaceful but there is a lot going on between the simple sign carrying and the looting of buildings. Day after day in these protests we see protestors getting up into the faces of the cops, right there screaming obscenities at them personally and at great length. Why are they doing this . They do not fear the police anymore. That line in the sand between security and civil disorder has been washed away. It has been washed away, sandra, over the last couple years by progressive prosecutors who decided to decriminalize behavior in their cities and to pull back the police function. What were seeing is a real world test of that model and a spike in violence across the United States, which i think is catastrophic for the Bidenharris Campaign. Sandra you say this is the status quo. This is new, a status quo where there is no fear of the police by protestors or common street criminals. A line in the sand has been washed away. This condition didnt happen in the past 100 days. Democratic politics have been building toward this redefinition of law and order for at least 20 years. Dan, before you go i want to ask you about the wall street journals reporting on sedition charges and what they are reporting bill barr is telling prosecutors to consider charging violent protestors with sedition. Wall street journal dug into that. To bring a sedition case prosecutors have to prove there was a conspiracy to attack Government Agencies and officials. Antigovernment sentiment could be protected speech even including discussions of violence and a plot that presented and imminent danger. Where is bill barr going with such a suggestion and can that happen . Sandra, i think he is going in two directions. One he is adding sedition to arson, gun violations to the list of federal crimes that he wants federal prosecutors to bring in the absence of these progressive prosecutors i described doing anything about the criminal behavior in these cities. Secondly, though, i think bill barr is pointing to what could happen after the election. We have had articles appearing recently in the Mainstream Media suggesting that if donald trump wins, democrats may not be able to control themselves. We know there will be a problem with the mailin ballots. If you see a situation, if the president wins and there are demonstrations in the streets, riots claiming oats an illegitimate government i think bill barr is suggesting he would prosecute these people under the sedition laws. He is trying indeed to set down a marker and let them know it will not be a free lunch if they intend to riot in the event donald trump gets reelected. Sandra well have more on that throughout the morning. Dan henninger from the wall street journal. Thank you, dan. Trace rescues underway after Hurricane Sally made a direct hit on the gulf coast leaving whole communities under water in florida and alabama. Pensacola, florida had a part of a bridge washed away. Florida is not out of the woods yet. Our number one priority is to protect life. When you have this amount of water. The saying is hide from the wind but run from the water. The water can be hazardous when you talk about 2 to 3 feet dumped on some of these areas, thats a big deal. You could see even more flooding over the next couple days. People need to be vigilant on that and make sure they put their personal safety first. Trace Charles Watson is live in pensacola. What are people waking up to this morning . Trace, at the very least residents are waking up to millions of dollars in damages. This marina in pensacola falling victim to the strength of Hurricane Sally. Check out these boats pushed in land, smashed into one another and tangled on top of these docks. This is cell phone video taken by a resident as the marina was being battered by the storm. You can hear the wind howling as it knocks those boats around. Many people in pensacola with little or no time to prepare for the damaging effects of sally. Living on the coast you feel like you have a clue and that you will be prepared. This one really caught i think everybody here in pensacola by surprise. The damage stretches much further than this marina. Roofs are peeled off of businesses. This morning a portion of the threemile bridge is missing after a barge broke loose and went crashing into it. Officials say it could take months to fix that bridge. Rivers are expected to crest today but much of the water that we saw out here in the streets of pensacola yesterday has already started to recede. Trace. Trace a little bit of good news. Charles, thank you. Sandra President Trump hitting the campaign trail in wisconsin today where polls show him trailing joe biden by nearly seven points but there is a new report this morning some democrats are worried the president is gaining and that the democratic governor is to blame.

Sandra revealing also that Robert Mueller turned down an invitation to appear. Trace President Trump heads to wisconsin today, a state he won by less than one point back in 2016. The real clear politics average has biden up there by nearly 7 points but a new report from politico says some democrats are worried that Governor Tony Evers may be helping the president gain ground with his handling of the riots in kenosha. Lets bring in rachel camposduffy. I want to put up the Marquette Law School poll. The approval of tony evers was prior to. 65 percent in march before the riots. Now his Approval Rating at 43 . A huge number of a swing there. Then politico goes on to write this. Interviews with more than two dozen activists, local officials and voters has concern that evers is diminishing what should be a they say he has allowed republicans to cast him as weak and ineffective. Your thoughts on that . Lets go to that poll you talked about with coronavirus. In wisconsin private schools are open, Public Schools are closed. So every day that Public Schools are open and proving that you can teach students safely, is a day thats bad for the democrats and for governor evers policy of closing the schools and the democrat partys policy of closing schools. It is highly disruptive to work life, to family life and a bipartisan issue. I think people are starting to feel like this feels political and no one wants to feel like there are politicians toying or playing politics with their lives, with their kids lives. I think it is a sleeper issue for them. In addition youre right about people feeling that he is a weak leader and he showed that in kenosha. People were very disappointed with his response. Trump came in and very quickly put this under control so you have a lot of support in the milwaukee area who dont like trump or his style but the issue of law and order and safety in their neighborhoods is very personal and real since kenosha. I think it will move many of them to vote for him. Trace the poll we were showing was concerning law and order. Concerning preriots and after riots. The coronavirus thing is not in there. I also want to bring this up because it is interesting. You have the governors Approval Ratings plummeting preand after riots and fox news poll says this polling from wisconsin voters on criminal justice who do you trust more to handle law and order and it says joe biden at 47 . Donald trump at 42 . What do you make of that and how do you square those . You know, polls are difficult. Here in wisconsin theyve been wrong before. I think one of the interesting things being on the ground in wisconsin is that you can feel things that you cant feel when you are in washington, d. C. Or new york. And what you feel when you are on the ground here is an energy. A massive enthusiasm gap. Were seeing in my town alone, trace, there is there are four popup trump stores because official campaign cant meet the demand for trump gear here. So you have an enthusiasm gap. In addition there is a ground game for trump that is much stronger than it is for biden. Part of that is covid. Each campaign is campaigning the way the leader at the top does. The Trump Campaign is on the ground, going doortodoor, they are inviting volunteers into their offices to campaign. The Biden Campaign has very strict covid rules. They arent going doortodoor. They arent having rallies. Their candidate prior to kenosha hadnt been here for 700 days. You look at the two campaigns, retail politics matters in wisconsin. The Trump Campaign is doing everything they can and fighting for every vote. The Biden Campaign feels when you are on the ground here in wisconsin like they are trying to phone it in. A lot of their Campaign Staff is in another state. They are managing the campaign from another state and doing it through social media and tech. I dont think it will work here. Trace to echo your point you have a former Democratic Party chair in kenosha who told politico the following. I dont think he has his pulse on talking about Governor Tony Evers, has his pulse on whats going on in the state. Not a forceful personality or the qualities of a great leade. We need a winston churchill, not a neville chamberlain. Can the democrats still use the governor to boost the Biden Campaign or is the Trump Campaign going to come in and see that weakness as something beneficial for their corner . I think its a policy driven and so i think he really damaged himself during the kenosha riots. No one in wisconsin is forgetting. I have said for a long time i believe kenosha will be an inflection point. Donald trump saved kenosha. Governor evers never even went until several deaths on the street. Democrats as you showed in that quote are disappointed as well. Leadership matters. Trace we should point out before President Trump won wisconsin in 2016 by 23,000 votes a republican president hadnt won the state since ronald reagan. Rachel camposduffy, always good to see you. Good to see y
