North carolina this evening. Meanwhile, Vice President pence and senator Kamala Harris also hit the campaign trail this holiday weekend. Both talking to voters in the state of wisconsin. Coronavirus clearly taking center stage as the two campaigns clash over a potential vaccine. The president again linking a vaccine to election day. But both Health Experts and senator harris say not so fast. I think that we have learned since this pandemic started, but really before that, that theres very little that we can trust that comes out of Donald Trumps mouth. Our team is on the ground with the latest. Mike memoli in d. C. , Josh Lederman in jupiter, florida and Shannon Pettypiece standing nearby the white house. Joe biden says postlabor day, thats now, he plans on doing a lot more traveling. Whats in store . Yeah, steph. In fact, even President Trump taking note of joe bidens busier campaign itinerary tweeting about it this morning. In fact, what did we see yesterday, steph . Joe biden though campaign trail in pennsylvania. His running mate Kamala Harris making her first solo road trip to the battleground state of wisconsin. Where was President Trump . He was the one home with that hastily called News Conference at the white house. What did we see from biden on the campaign trail . Not doing the kind of rallies, we shouldnt expect the campaign for him to hold the Traditional Campaign rallies, but what he was doing was socially distant roundtable discussions on the economy. Its that issue that the Biden Campaign says he wants to focus on in the coming weeks contrasting his build back better economic plan with what he himself has said is a trump economic plan which prioritizes only those shareholders rather than ordinary working class voters. And i think the template we saw was joe biden doing local interviews. I mentioned that trump tweet about bidens campaign itinerary. It will finally give voters a chance to see that hes not all there. Biden firing back in one of those local interviews saying, hey if you want to talk about somebody who has lost a step, take a look at me. See me on the campaign trail. Walking up and running up ramps comparing that to President Trump. The other way biden is really taking the advantage at this point is on the campaign air waves. His campaign is out with a brandnew ad today which really highlights the choice it says voters are facing this november. It says weve had enough of a president for four years who has brought out the worst in america. Isnt it time to have a president who brings out the best. Thats the message from the Biden Campaign now in this critical mopostlabor day stret. Josh, lets talk about President Trumps message. Jupiter, florida. Who is he speaking to, white, wealthy golfers . Well, officially, stephanie, President Trump is here to tout what he sees as a strong environmental record, including the Great American outdoors act that he signed into law a couple of weeks ago that had funding for conservation efforts here. Biden and democrats will point out the Trump Administration has rolled back nearly every major environmental step that was taken in the Obama Administration in the years past. But its no surprise that trump is back here in florida, a make or break state for either candidate. And trump is playing defense here. He has been behind in the poles in florida ever since biden became the presumptive nominee back in april. But those polls are very close. Its always been about a three or fourpoint margin. Neither side are taking this for granted. This, of course, also is trumps adopted home county after he moved from new york to florida not too long ago. And just to show you how thing have changed, the last time that President Trump was here in the county was way back in march. At that time, he met with bolsonaro, the brazilian leader. Said he was not concerned about coronavirus getting closer to the white house. In the months since florida has been hit hard by the pandemic, somewhere in the neighborhood of 12,000 deaths, that is obviously weighing very heavily on the minds of voters, and its an argument the Biden Campaign plans to hit hard saying that trump has failed floridians with his response to covid. Well see how trump counters that message when he speaks at the lighthouse in jupiter, florida, just behind me. Shannon, the president is still facing fallout from the reporting that he called fallen servicemen and women suckers and losers. Im sure the white house wants to shake this story. They cant. How are they handling it now, five days later . Its still on the front page of papers. Right. Well, this heavy response from the president , the white house, his allies, his campaign shows how damaging they see this could be. Even before this report came out theres some indications of the president s support among the military and active duty members of the military softening. A military times poll showing only 38 of active duty military members approved of a job the president was doing. As you mention, the president was on the defense addressing this report in theheres what yesterday. Who would say a thing like that . Only an animal would say a thing like that. Theres nobody that has more respect for not only our military but for people that gave their lives in the military. Steph, i will note that he went on, though, to essentially accuse military leaders of engaging in wars and conflicts, so risking troops lives, to sell more bombs and equipment and make money essentially was an accusation he lobbed against the leaders of our military. So at the same time, he is defending his support for the military, his denying these comments, he went on to insult essentially military leaders which is something that has been picked up. And weve been seeing a lot of criticism over those remarks, too. Well, ive got to dig a lot deeper into that, shannon. Thank you. I want to bring in congresswoman from the state of new jersey, mikey cher rol, a former Navy Helicopter pilot. All of these military headlines matter a lot to her. Congresswoman, thank you so much for joining me. I havent spoken to you in quite some time. You are one of the first people i thought of when i read that reporting. What President Trump had to say about fallen servicemen and women. Whats your take . Well, stephanie it was horrible to see the comments of the president. But it wasnt the first time hes really been denigrating to service members. His comments on john mccain, on gold star families like kazir khans. Its been a pattern from this president of a real disrespect and real lack of understanding for why we in the military and why veterans really revere gold star families and hold to a higher standard our p. O. W. S and people who have made the ultimate sacrifice. Shannon mentioned it a moment ago. The president also leveled new attacks against military leaders. What do you think . Its striking. Even when hes saying hed never Say Something like that, he cant help himself but to attack military members. He doesnt understand the military. Hes not fit to be the commander in chief of the United States. He doesnt understand words like integrity and responsibility and sacrifice. And so even as hes trying to suggest that he respects the military he cant help but then disrespect them. Lets talk about coronavirus relief. The Senate Returns today after several weeks, and we still have no new Economic Relief plan. Is there nothing that you can get consensus on . People are really struggling. I totally agree. Things like my s. M. A. R. T. Act that ive introduced. Senator menendez and senator cassidy have it in the senate. Im leading it with congressman pete king from long island, a republican from long island. We need to get that introduced. We need to start passing state and local government funding. Direct state and local government funding. There are so many ways our states are struggling, and its on the backs of the people. Its really critical as we try to get kids back to school. As we try to make sure our First Responders have ppe. As were trying to make sure our businesses have the support they need. Its critical we get the state and local funding to our states. Are we doing what we need to do now . Think about today. Youre a mother of four. Im a mother of three. All sorts of kids going back to school in person and virtually. Yet even kids who are going back virtually, their working parents are going to work today while their kids are home alone going to school. Is that the right are we doing enough . Are we considering all americans who are dealing with coronavirus . Stephanie, this is the thing that angers me the most. Because we have not had the appropriate federal response to coronavirus, because the president has refused to follow the cdc guidelines and refused to help put out best practices. Refused to start the defense production act to have ppe gear and ventilators. Hes doing this on the backs of our children. I have four kids. My district is not going back to inperson schooling. Im working. Im supposed to be shepherding my children as they start School Thursday and friday. Im also supposed to be at about 20 other events as in the district and virtually. Im going back into session next week. Ill be taking some number of my children down there with me to try to keep them on track. As my husband tries to help out with the other kids. And many families are doing this with single parents, people who have to be in person working at their job. This is unacceptable. And a lot of this has to do with the failure to appropriately address the Public Health concerns. Well, the president says hes taking the high road by not meeting with democrats to discuss more coronavirus relief. Whats your reaction to that, given your personal situation with your own kids and that you know whats happening to so many other parents out there. I dont even know what that means. I dont understand how not meeting with people to try to get better support for our citizens. Better support for this country, better Food Assistance to kids who are going hungry now. I dont understand how that would in any way be taking the high road. That does not make stoeense to. Youve also got people in your district, a lot of suburban people in your district, who arent suffering financially. Working from home actually is pretty good for them. Theyre not paying commuting costs and theyre invested in the stock market, even if they arent active investors, theyve got retirement accounts. And the president tells them theyre going to lose those savings if hes not in office. The riots theyre seeing in kenosha will end up in places like montclair, new jersey. Are there people listening to that . Is that working in your district . Lets make no mistake about it, these riots have happened on his watch. And places where we have great relationships between the police and the community they serve and we dont have federal Law Enforcement officers coming and addressing this in a way thats not comfortable for the community. Weve had largely peaceful protests across new jersey. Even in my hometown of montclair we have the Police Engaging with the protest organizers, ensuring that people can safely exercise their First Amendment rights. This president has had so many opportunities to unite this nation, to bring people together, to address the concerns that the nation has and heal the nation. And instead he has done the exact opposite. He has incited more chaos because he thrives on chaos. Hes incited more division in this country, and were seeing it across the nation. Now he somehow wants to say hes the only person that can fix it. That is not true. We need a healer and uniter like joe biden. We need someone who is going to come in and really help this nation move forward in a way we so want to see it move forward and the only person that can do that is joe biden. That is not the president s forte. Well, our country certainly doesnt thrive in chaos. Congresswoman, always good to see you. Good luck with backtoschool. Its really complicated. I really need it. Thank you, stephanie. You, too. And take care. Thank you.

Grubhubs gonna reward you for that with a 5 off perk. doorbell rings [crowd] grubhub fireworks exploding breaking news this morning out west where fire rescues are under way after five counties were put under a state of emergency as that state deals with its worst fire season on record. Most of the damage has been caused by three main fires, including the creek fire, which still has not been contained at all. Nbcs Miguel Almaguer is in fresno, california, which is being ravaged by that fire. Miguel, what is going on . The fact we hear about a fire this big thats not being contained, thats got us worried. Yeah, stephanie. These are some of the most epic fire conditions weve ever seen on the front lines. Whats driving this fire is this massive forest that has been drought stricken for decades and these flames are ripping across this area. Theyve charred more than 135,000 acres. Theyre also being fueled by hot temperatures and low humidity. So the fire is exploding across the region. Firefighters are having a very difficult time keeping this blaze in check. As a matter of fact, i want to talk about the fires across the state. Theres nearly two dozen wildfires that have charred 2 million acres so far. Thats a record here in california, and were heading into the most dangerous weeks and months ahead. September and october are typically the most dangerous times for wildfire season. What were seeing here could be a prelude to a real disaster yet to unfold, stephanie, the Fresno National guard just rescued 13 people from the Sierra National forest. I know you spoke to at least one. What did you learn . Yeah, those rescue teams had pulled people off of a mountain. They flew through smoke and flames to reach them. As you mentioned, 13 of them were just pulled off the mountain. We just got worried that another 11 have also been pulled down. Thats two dozen people. We spoke to one of those evacuees a short time ago. Heres what he had to say. How scary was this whole thing . Oh its lifechanging. You dont think that that man had been trapped in that fire phone for four days. He was with a family of eight. He said five people were literally sleeping and living inside his car. He was reached for safety. The good news, were told dozens more people are still trapped but theyre all safe. They just need to come down off that mountain and thats whats happening now. Air rescue teams are in the air trying to reach them. Miguel, thank you. Please, be safe where you are.
