Comments on the recent protests and violence. Donald trump looks at this violence and he sees a political lifeline, you know me. You know my heart. You know my story. My familys story. Ask yourself do i look like a radical socialist with a soft spot for rioters . Really. The white house says President Trump will hold a briefing in a few hours. Tomorrow, hell head to kenosha, wisconsin, despite the mayor and governor saying now its a bad time. Press secretary defended the trip. The president wants to visit in kenosha and minneapolis, there was violence on the streets and literally within 24 hours you saw a turnaround when federal officials came in. He didnt show up in portland, where there were also protests that he talked about a lot, is it not also bautz wisconsin is such an important political state . The president is showing up to see hurting americans. Former National Security adviser Michael Flynn wants his criminal case thrown out immediately. Today a federal Court Appeals denied his request. So much to talk about this hour. Were glad youre with us. Joe bidens speech took direct aim at donald trump over fear and safety. He refocused on the more than 184,000 americans who have died from covid19. He keeps telling us, he was president , youd feel safe, well, hes president , whether he knows it or not. It is happening. Donald trump wants to ask the question, who will keep you safer as president . Lets answer that question. Do you really safer under donald trump . Mr. Trump, want to talk about fear . You know what people are afraid of america theyre afraid theyre going to get covid, theyre afraid theyre going to get sick and die, in no small part because of you. Joining us now is White House Correspondent for pbs newshour, yamiche alcindor. Today, joe biden condemned violence of all kinds. How much pressure do you feel hes feeling on this issue especially because President Trump keeps bringing it up . Well, thank you for having me, joshua the speech that we saw today was the most forceful counterargument weve seen not just from joe biden but democrats on this issue of law and order and rhetoric that President Trump and his republican allies have been putting out there. Basically out there for weeks, if democrats are in charge, continued lawlessness and chaos. The rioting and looting. They say it will become the norm. Joe biden has so far left those accusations largely untouched. These protests and the images of violence of rioting and looting could hurt joe biden in november and help President Trump. For him to be physically out in the campaign trail in the covid era, theyre taking this issue seriously and they want to get that narrative. We heard joe biden address a number of falsehoods republicans make about him, that hes radical socialist. Yamiche, you asked the press secretary about how the president feels about this increase in violence. Here is that exchange. Does this president is he rooting for more violence for the political benefit . Thats what Kellyanne Conway is absolutelying, democrats say that the president thinks violence works in his political favor . Absolutely not. Hes not rooting for more violence in the slightest and in fact, you know, i would not under his administration, we saw Violent Crime nationwide decrease in both 2017 and 2018 after rising during each of the two previous years. Yamiche, what did you make of that answer . I made of that answer that the white house is trying to make sure theyre not seeing as rooting for violence but in fact, it was pretty clear that the white house counselor Kellyanne Conway believes chaos and anarchy works in their favor. She said as much last week. Makes the distinguish between President Trump and Vice President biden clear. Kayleigh mcenany theres point of view is pretty clear here, their point of view, they feel like what were seeing with American Cities on fire in some places, even though were seeing largely peaceful protests, the focus on that will help them get reelected. When joe biden condemn and give the pushback speech, hes also reacting to what the polls are saying, if you look at a poll by Marquette University law school, in wisconsin, it shows that support for black lives matter has gone down from june to august and thats among independents, democrats and republicans. So what people are seeing is that people are really worried about the fact that they feel like there might be lawlessness and looting and violence in their cities. Even if youre similympathetics there are Everyday Americans especially in a key battleground state like wisconsin that are worried about this. Of course, democrats say that Vice President biden has been forceful in condemning violence before. You could tell today he had to be out there to push back. He understands that the president s arguments are starting to work on at least a couple of americans. The Republican Party as yamiche has depicting cities with democrat mayors including new york with being overrun with crimes. Bigcity crime was down more than 5 in the first half of this year, Violent Crimes are down 2 , murders are up sharply, but even that rise is lower than the murder rate was back in 2012, its also lower than at any point during Rudy Giulianis administration. Those are the facts. Whats stronger right now, the facts or the fear . I struggle with this, joshua, im sure you both, too, as reporters and journalists in this moment, i think a lot about the facts dont always get through to voters that these feelings do, brought up by candidates on either side. Were seeing americans are sort of souring on the black lives Matter Movement. Id imagine thats because of the images of violent and looting, of course arent official parts of the black lives Matter Movement. These people are joining these protests that are happening by the black lives Matter Movement and turning that into that. The facts arent getting to people as they need to, especially about Violent Crime and thats the thing, President Trump is someone who wants to rely on fear. Weve seen him do this in 2016 election and the Migrant Caravan in the 2018 midterm elections, weve seen him do this with law and order. The fearful ad that his Reelection Campaign, where he imagines that the police have been defunded and they totally lie about what that looks like. Lot of folks are in the Reelection Campaign are relying on voters to vote based on their feelings. Wall street journal editorial that blames kate brown and ted wheeler for the death of a man during this weeks protests, the Editorial Board said President Trump would do better by firing his base up by calm iincalming. What do you make of that advice . Well, that advice is something that maybe President Trump will hear, im not quite sure hell stop attacking democrats, hes already really moved forward with this agenda to blame everything on democratic leerz. The white house chief of staff mark meadows divorce the president from democratic cities. Really splitting america into two political ideologies and i think this is going to be a fear election. What youre pointing out, josh, all the same thing this is an election thats going to be about how you feel both in the midst of a racial reckoning or in a pandemic. Are you fearful that this pandemic may kill you or a Family Member because the president has struggled to contain the pandemic. Or youre a republican, youre scared about the fact that your city, that your city is somehow going to be engulfed in flames . Looking at the president to say, prepandemic that will come back miraculously. This is all about fear, race, all about health care. The president when he goes to wisconsin is not going to be seeking really to calm things down in the traditional sense, hes not an emphatic chief, hell rile up his base. Thiss what we imagine and we can expect tomorrow. Talking about people who are coming in arms. The white house refuses to condemn people coming on to the streets with guns. They had that experience over and over again and they have yet to do that. Thank you for starting us off. A joe biden says hell visit battleground states after labor day, including minnesota. Tomorrow President Trump will head to kenosha over the objections of local officials. Joining us now is Minnesota Attorney general keith ellison. Welcome to the program. Thank you. Glad to be here. If President Trump wanted to visit minnesota, what would you advise . I would advise him to calm things and not to inflame them, making comments that are going to draw people with guns to protests is not helping, actually makes everything worse, more volatile and id encourage him to stay away. You have filed motions asking for longer potential sentences for the officers involved in the death of george floyd, why . Im not at liberty to discuss the case. It requires that i dont make any comments that might impact the jury pool. I will say that if you read our complaint the facts in it indicate that this is the appropriate action, but forgive me, thats pretty much ill be able to say. People have lost their li livelihoods because of protess,s your investigation is under way, your prosecution is under way, but these protests havent stopped. Is it possible that the public is still just not convinced that justice will be done and thats skepticism, that cynicism is fueling this unrest . I think that it is. I think the public wants to see the system, the justice system, operate justly in a Sustainable Way and i think, until they have that confidence, people are going to feel that using their First Amendment rights as the way to get the justice people are craving. Look, you know, george floyd is one tragic case, but look at all of the other ones that weve seen over the course of years, even rodney king or walter scott, or eric gardner, or sandra bland, people are responding to what has built over decades. I think the thing to do is to say no one is above. Law, no one is below the law and were going to have equal justice in america. They can trust the system to preserve justice and to promote justice. Thats what i think we got to do, sustainbly be just and fair. Does your team feel any pressure in terms of this prosecuti prosecution . If the death of george floyd has touched this off, if there are no charges or acquittal in this case, that could strike another match on a tinderbox . Well, i guess my main point is that its not just this case that touched all this off. This problem of Police Community conflict look, john lewis talked about it on the march on washington in 1963, its what started the urban uprisings in the mid1960s. My father whos 91 will tell you how they had riots in 1943 because of this issue, exactly not this issue that started this, that sparked it, but so did a lot of underlying conditions like poverty, housing, injustice in various aspects on of life. Have watched a black man die at the hands of officers in real time. 8 minutes and 42 seconds means something to every white person in america. I do concede that point. Youre right. Just the visual of it all is somewhat unique, you dont see it laid out starkly. There are underlying factors to erupt in a way that it did. For sure. I guess my point is, were not going to absorb a lot of pressure because we have a job to do and were going to do justice, were going to put forth and present a case that we believe we can prove beyond a reasonable doubt. Thats what well do and well trust the jury to have the right outcome. Thats what im asking my team to do. But on the best case they can in a fair way, were ministers of justice. Were here to prove charges that we believe exist beyond a reasonable doubt. I believe that well do that. Minnesota attorney general keith ellison. Thank you. Thank you. The Investigation Continues in portland after a man is shot dead. It happened after Police Reform protesters and a protrump caravan got into a fight. The victim was part of a farright group called Patriot Prayer. Well hear from that groups founder ahead. Fda head said he may fasttrack a vaccine. How safe will that be. Lets get you caught up on the latest facts on the coronavirus pandemic. Cycling fans are hoping that Tour De France survives covid19. Theyll expel a racing team if any of two of its members test positive for covid within a week. No racer will qualify to cross the finish line. The Tour De France has only been cancelled for two reasons, world war i and world war ii. This weekend, opponents of the order protested at the massachusetts statehouse. In pennsylvania, a temporary ban on evictions and foreclosures expires today. This morning, pennsylvania Governor Tom Wolf hintd that he would extend the moratoriumorat. Clinical trials are under way around the world for a coronavirus vaccine. The head of the fda is under some scrutiny today after saying he might authorize a vaccine before the Clinical Trials in the u. S. Are done. Last week at the rnc, President Trump and Vice President pence both said well have a vaccine this year. The fda commissioner told the Financial Times that he would not rush a vaccine to appease the president. Still his comments are raising some concerns about political pressure. Nbc senior medical correspondent dr. John torres joins us now. Tell us about Clinical Trials, there are three stages to Clinical Trials. What happens in stage three . Great to see you, joshua. Stage three is the final stage of the human trials. Typically heres what happen, they start off in animal trials, make sure its safe and effective in animals and then they transcig to humans and have three different phases. They make it sure its safe. Phase two, around 300 or 400 people and then they go to phase three, phase three for this vaccine is being around 30,000 people per vaccine manufacturer. 30,000 people, give them the vaccine or the placebo. Its whole spectrum of society. 18 to 65, in some cases 80. They make sure they have a bunch of ethnic groups in there and people with different medical conditions. They want to mimic society. Dr. Hahn is saying, theyre thinking about eu, prior to tend of phase three. So phase one is it safe . So phase two, does it work . Phase three, is it worth it . Is that generally it . Thats generally it. Thats what theyre using with emergency use authorization. Typically fda approves things that takes years, many trials going through phase three, getting the data, crunching the numbers, making sure its safe, approving it. In the midst of a pandemic that takes too long. Lets use this emergency use authorization. Does the benefit outweigh the risk . In that case, maybe for certain groups we can use this eua, healthcare workers, essential workers, maybe those with preexisting medical conditions. Independent groups are saying, we got to make sure theres no political pressure here. Take it out of politics and put it in science, data and medicine. With regard to that data according to palm beach post, the government is thinking about approving the oxford vaccine. Im sure that astrazeneca wants a vaccine they want around the world. One thing about having them here in the u. S. , having it done through the uk and their Research Data would be unprecedented at least for this type of vaccine the reason is because here in the u. S. They can make sure the standards are met, they can keep an eye on the trials and get the data from that and push it forward for the approval process. The uk has already done these type of things. We know the uk system. Lets use that data. The university of wisconsin is going to start trials tomorrow for that same vaccine, the oxfo. It would be unprecedented to use another nations data but not necessarily bad. One thing to talk about the race for the vaccine and another thing to talk about the finish line. The death of Actor Chadwick Boseman from colon cancer stunned the world. It didnt stun medical experts. Plus, democrats say they might subpoena direct of National IntelligenceJohn Ratcliffe after he said Election Security briefings would end. I dont want any trade minimums.
