THE NEW DIRECTOR OF CHARLIE

LIE DOWN
AND THEY WILL NEVER GIVE UP.
AND THAT THE HATRED THAT STRUCK 
THEM IS STILL THERE.
AND THAT -- ADDING THAT, TO 
REPRODUCE THESE CARTOONS IN THE 
WEEK THE TRIAL BEGINS SEEMED
ESSENTIAL TO THEM.
14 PEOPLE ARE ON TRIAL, ACCUSED 
OF HELPING THE ATTACKERS
SEVERAL OF THOSE ARE BEING TRIED
IN AB SEN CHA.
THEY WERE ABLE TO ESCAPE IN THE 
DAYS FOLLOWING THE ATTACK.
OF COURSE, FIVE OTHER PEOPLE
WERE, ALSO, KILLED IN ATTACKS 
RELATED TO IT IN THE DAYS 
SURROUNDING THE ORIGINAL ATTACK.
INCLUDING, HOSTAGES AT A JEWISH 
SUPERMARKET IN PARIS
THE COVER OF THIS LATEST EDITION
HAS THE 12 ORIGINAL IMAGES, 
DEPICTING THE PROPHET MUHAMMAD, 
THAT SPARKED ALL THIS ANGER AND 
THIS -- THIS WAVE OF TERROR.
AS WELL AS, THE WORDS, ALL OF 
THAT, FOR THIS
NOW, THE ATTACKS, OF COURSE,
SPARKED THAT PHRASE --
[ SPEAKING FOREIGN LANGUAGE 
>> -- I AM CHARLIE HEBDO
WE SAW A UNITY MARCH IN PARIS IN
THE DAYS AFTER ATTACKS, BRINGING
TOGETHER WORLD LEADERS AND
PEOPLE ACROSS PARIS IN UNITY, 
FIGHTING FOR FREEDOM OF SPEECH
IN THE COUNTRY
NOW, WE UNDERSTAND THE TRIAL
WILL LAST A COUPLE OF MONTHS, AS
IT BEGINS TODAY.
THIS, OF COURSE, WILL BE
CLOSURE, FOR SOME.

THE HARD TROUBLES PARIS FACED 
DURING THOSE DAYS, SURROUNDING
THE ATTACKS.

BUT WE WANT TO MAKE SURE YOU
HAVE THE FACTS
SO IS THERE A DIFFERENCE IN THE 
CRIME RATE IN CITIES RUN BY 
DEMOCRATS, VERSUS VOETHOSE LED Y
REPUBLICANS?
NBC'S TOM COSTELLO HAS THE
LATEST IN OUR SERIES, AMERICA'S 
CITIES, FACT VERSUS FICTION.
>> Reporter: AMID NATIONAL
PROTESTS OVER RACIAL AND
EQUALITY AND POLICING, PRESIDENT
TRUMP HAS OFTEN REPEATED THE
SAME CLAIM. 
>> THE TOP TEN MOST DANGEROUS 
CITIES IN AMERICA ARE RUN BY
DEMOCRATS.
>> 20 WORST -- THE 20 MOST
DANGEROUS -- ARE DEMOCRAT RUN.
WORSE THAN HONDURAS.
WORSE THAN AFGHANISTAN
>> Reporter: THE REALITY CHECK
HOMICIDE RATES ARE UP IN MANY 
CITIES RUN BY, BOTH DEMOCRATS 
AND REPUBLICANS.
UP 13% IN REPUBLICAN-LED MIAMI
UP 34% IN DEMOCRAT-LED NEW YORK.
UP 29% IN REPUBLICAN-LED TULSA
THROUGH JUNE
AND REPUBLICAN-LED FT. WORTH, 
POLICE REPORT A 50% INCREASE IN 
HOMICIDES, JUST THIS YEAR.
>> WE GOT CHALLENGES, JUST AS 
WELL AS OTHER LARGE AND SMALL 
METROPOLITAN AREAS
WE'RE DOING THE BEST THAT WE
CAN, WITH THE RESOURCES THAT WE 
HAVE
>> Reporter: IN DEMOCRAT-LED
OAKLAND, A 26% INCREASE.
>> CITIES ACROSS THIS COUNTRY,
MAJOR CITY CHIEFS, ARE SEEING 
THE EXACT SAME THING
THE AMOUNT OF GUNS
THE AMOUNT OF GUN CRIME.
THE SIGNIFICANT INCREASES.
>> Reporter: CRIME EXPERTS SAY
THE PANDEMIC AND ECONOMIC 
FALLOUT ARE BIG FACTORS IN
DRIVING THE MURDER RATE HIGHER
ROUGHLY, 70% OF AMERICA'S 100 
BIGGEST CITIES ARE LED BY 
DEMOCRATS.
THE REST, BY REPUBLICANS OR 
OTHERS
FORMER CIA OFFICER, JEFF ASHER, 
NOW ANALYZES CRIME DATA.
>> PRESIDENT CLAIMS THIS IS 
PRETTY MUCH ONLY A PROBLEM IN 
DEMOCRATIC CITIES.
IS THAT ACCURATE
>> WELL, THE DATA THAT WE HAVE, 
RIGHT NOW, SAYS THAT THAT'S NOT 
ACCURATE
WE ARE SEEING ABOUT 25% 
INCREASE, IN ALL CITIES.
THE 14 CITIES THAT ARE RUN BY 
REPUBLICANS, VERY SIMILAR 
CHANGE, ON AVERAGE, OF THE
CITIES THAT ARE RUN BY
DEMOCRATS.
>> Reporter: VERY FEW MURDERS 
HAVE BEEN CONNECTED TO THE
PROTESTS OVER RACIAL INEQUALITY.
POLICE REPORT OUTSIDE AGITATORS,
FROM BOTH THE LEFT AND THE
RIGHT, HAVE OFTEN TURNED THOSE
PROTESTS VIOLENT
OVER THE WEEKEND, THE PRESIDENT 
TWEETED THAT D.C. MAYOR, MURIEL 
BOWSER, CLEAN UP D.C. OR THE
FEDERAL GOVERNMENT WILL DO IT 
FOR YOU.
>> WHEN A PRESIDENT ATTACKS 
AMERICAN CITIES, HE'S ATTACKING 
AMERICA.
AND THE JOB OF THE PRESIDENT IS 
TO UNITE US, NOT TO DIVIDE US.
>> THE PRESIDENT'S RHETORIC 
SUGGESTING VIOLENCE IS ONLY 
OCCURRING IN DEMOCRATIC CITIES
IS, SIMPLY, NOT TRUE
IN FACT, SOME CITIES ARE SEEING 
A DECREASE IN HOMICIDES,
INCLUDING DEMOCRAT-LED BALTIMORE
AND REPUBLICAN-LED OKLAHOMA 
CITY
FRANCES.

LIE DOWN
AND THEY WILL NEVER GIVE UP.
AND THAT THE HATRED THAT STRUCK 
THEM IS STILL THERE.
AND THAT -- ADDING THAT, TO 
REPRODUCE THESE CARTOONS IN THE 
WEEK THE TRIAL BEGINS SEEMED
ESSENTIAL TO THEM.
14 PEOPLE ARE ON TRIAL, ACCUSED 
OF HELPING THE ATTACKERS
SEVERAL OF THOSE ARE BEING TRIED
IN AB SEN CHA.
THEY WERE ABLE TO ESCAPE IN THE 
DAYS FOLLOWING THE ATTACK.
OF COURSE, FIVE OTHER PEOPLE
WERE, ALSO, KILLED IN ATTACKS 
RELATED TO IT IN THE DAYS 
SURROUNDING THE ORIGINAL ATTACK.
INCLUDING, HOSTAGES AT A JEWISH 
SUPERMARKET IN PARIS
THE COVER OF THIS LATEST EDITION
HAS THE 12 ORIGINAL IMAGES, 
DEPICTING THE PROPHET MUHAMMAD, 
THAT SPARKED ALL THIS ANGER AND 
THIS -- THIS WAVE OF TERROR.
AS WELL AS, THE WORDS, ALL OF 
THAT, FOR THIS
NOW, THE ATTACKS, OF COURSE,
SPARKED THAT PHRASE --
[ SPEAKING FOREIGN LANGUAGE 
>> -- I AM CHARLIE HEBDO
WE SAW A UNITY MARCH IN PARIS IN
THE DAYS AFTER ATTACKS, BRINGING
TOGETHER WORLD LEADERS AND
PEOPLE ACROSS PARIS IN UNITY, 
FIGHTING FOR FREEDOM OF SPEECH
IN THE COUNTRY
NOW, WE UNDERSTAND THE TRIAL
WILL LAST A COUPLE OF MONTHS, AS
IT BEGINS TODAY.
THIS, OF COURSE, WILL BE
CLOSURE, FOR SOME.
BUT WILL, NO DOUBT, BRING BACK
THE HARD TROUBLES PARIS FACED 
DURING THOSE DAYS, SURROUNDING
THE ATTACKS.

PEOPLE WHO ARE OUT OF WORK, 
PEOPLE FACING EVICTIONS.
YOU'VE GOT SOME NEWS ON MAYBE A 
REPRIEVE FOR THEM?
>> Reporter: YEAH, HODA.
THAT'S RIGHT.
THE CDC IS ORDERING A HALT OF 
EVICTIONS NATIONWIDE FOR PEOPLE 
WHO LOST WORK DURING THE 
PANDEMIC AND DON'T HAVE OTHER 
GOOD HOUSING OPTIONS.
THE GOAL OF THE NEW EVICTION BAN
IS TO STEM THE SPREAD OF THE 
OUTBREAK WHICH THE AGENCY IN I  
SURGERY, I COULD HEAR IT IN HIS 
VOICE.
WHEN IT CAME OUT HE HAD THIS 
SURGERY, I HAD TO TALK TO HIM.
DR. ANTHONY FAUCI IS THE 
COUNTRY'S INFECTIOUS DISEASE 
EXPERT.
BUT THE DOCTOR BECAME THE 
PATIENT UNDERGOING A PROCEDURE 
TO GET A POLYP REMOVED FROM HIS 
VOCAL CHORDS.
A SURGERY I HAD EARLIER THIS 
YEAR.
HOW ARE YOU GOING?
I WAS OFF FOR SIX WEEKS AND I 
WASN'T ALLOWED TO TALK FOR 
ALMOST TWO WEEKS.
BUT YOU'RE BACK ON THE HORSE.
>> YEAH.
YOU KNOW, WELL, I THINK I 
PROBABLY SHOULD HAVE DONE IT 
YOUR WAY RATHER THAN MY WAY.
SO I HAD THE SURGERY ON A 
THURSDAY AND THE ENT SURGEON 
TOLD ME ESSENTIALLY DON'T UTTER 
A WORD UNTIL SUNDAY.
THEN MONDAY HE SAID YOU COULD 
TALK FOR MAYBE FIVE MINUTE 
INTERVALS IN A ROW, NOT BACK TO 
BACK.
A BUNCH OF EMERGENCY 
CATASTROPHIC WHITE HOUSE 
RELATED, YOU KNOW, I GUESS THE 
RIGHT WORD CRISES THAT I HAD TO 
GET INVOLVED IN A LOT OF 
ANIMATED DISCUSSION.
AND THEN I KICKED MYSELF AFTER 
THAT BECAUSE IT DIDN'T FEEL 100%
GREAT THE WAY IT DID FIVE DAYS 
AFTER THE SURGERY.
SO NOW I'M PULLING BACK.
>> DID YOU KNOW THAT THERE WAS 
SOMETHING GOING ON?
>> GENERALLY OVER THE YEARS 
BECAUSE I GIVE A LOT OF 
LECTURES, MORE THAN I REALLY 
SHOULD, I GENERALLY REST MY 
VOICE FOR A WHILE.
AND WHEN YOU DO THAT, I GET THE 
FULL COMPONENT BACK.
BUT THAT WASN'T THE CASE THIS 
TIME.
>> Reporter: HE BELIEVES A 
COMBINATION OF HAVING THE FLU IN
DECEMBER AND INFLAMED TRACHEA 
AND THEN NONSTOP WORK ONCE THE 
PANDEMIC HIT MAY BE TO BLAME.
>> BY THE TIME I GOT TO MARCH, 
IT WAS CLEAR THAT MY VOICE WAS 
SHOT.
BECAUSE I WOULD WAKE UP IN THE 
MORNING AND DO, YOU KNOW, THE 
"TODAY" SHOW LIVE AND IT WOULD 
BE LIKE I HAD A FROG IN MY 
THROAT NO MATTER HOW MUCH I 
GARGLED WITH SALT, YOU KNOW, HOW
MUCH I DRANK A HOT SOUP OR HOT 
COFFEE.
WHEN I WOULD GET IN FRONT OF THE
TV, I COULDN'T GET MY NORMAL 
VOICE.
>> Reporter: SOMETHING EVEN 
SAVANNAH PICKED UP ON WHEN THEY 
SPOKE IN APRIL.
>> ARE YOU OKAY?
YOUR VOICE DOES NOT SOUND GREAT.
>> I JUST NEED TO KEEP MY MOUTH 
SHUT FOR A LITTLE WHILE SO IT 
WILL GET BETTER.
>> TEA WITH A LITTLE HONEY AND 
LEMON FOR THE DOCTOR, OKAY?
>> Reporter: BUT TRUST ME, WHEN 
YOU HAVE A POLYP LIKE OURS, 
AFTER A WHILE THOSE HOME 
REMEDIES DON'T WORK ANYMORE.
IT HAS TO BE REMOVED.
WELCOME TO THE CLUB, MY FRIEND.
>> I KNOW.
>> Reporter: DOCTORS SAY POLYPS 
CAN RESULT FROM TRAUMA.
LIKE SINGING PROFESSIONALLY OR 
TALKING EXCESSIVELY.
ADELE FAMOUSLY HAVING SURGERY 
FOR A POLYP IN 2011.
ARE YOU DOING ANY KIND OF SPEECH
THERAPY OR EXERCISES?
EVERYBODY AROUND THE "TODAY" 
SHOW KNOWS I HAD ALL OF THESE 
STRAUS AND GADGETS I'D DO BEFORE
THE SHOW.
IN THE COMMERCIAL BREAKS, I'D DO
IT.
IT SOUNDS SILLY, BUT IT WORKS.

YOU BECAUSE I HAVE GOTTEN THE 
SAME SORT OF INSTRUCTIONS.
I HAVE FOUR EMAILS IN MY INBOX 
THAT I HAVEN'T THROWN OUT OF MY 
INBOX.
I HAVEN'T ACTUALLY PAID 
ATTENTION TO IT BECAUSE I'VE 
BEEN SO BUSY.
BUT I'M GETTING INSPIRED BY YOU 
AND WILL LOOK AT THEM.
I DO HAVE TO TRAIN MYSELF TO 
SPEAK DIFFERENTLY.
BECAUSE THE WAY I DO SPEAK, I 
SPEAK IN A VERY FORCEFUL WAY.

>> I'LL DO THAT.

WRONG, IT WAS WHEN ELECTIVE 
SURGERIES WEREN'T TAKING PLACE

A KEY BATTLEGROUND THIS 
NOVEMBER.
PRESIDENT TRUMP INTENSIFYING HIS
CAMPAIGN FOCUSED ON LAW AND 
ORDER TOURING THE DAMAGE DURING 
RECENT RIOTING IN KENOSHA, 
WISCONSIN.
>> WE'LL HELP YOU REBUILD.
IT'S A GREAT STATE.
>> Reporter: NINE DAYS AFTER THE
POLICE SHOOTING OF JACOB BLAKE, 
THE PRESIDENT AND ATTORNEY 
GENERAL WILLIAM BARR SPOKE WITH 
LAW ENFORCEMENT HERE.
>> WE HAVE TO CONDEMN THE 
DANGEROUS ANTI-POLICE RHETORIC.
IT'S GETTING MORE AND MORE -- 
IT'S VERY UNFAIR.
>> Reporter: HE DID NOT MEET 
WITH BLAKE'S FAMILY BECAUSE THE 
PRESIDENT SAYS THEY WANTED A 
LAWYER PRESENT.
>> I'M SUCKING UP ALL THE PAIN 
WE HAVE JUST TO STAND ON OUR 
SQUARE UNTIL WE GET JUSTICE FOR 
LITTLE JAKE.
>> Reporter: INSTEAD BLAKE'S 
UNCLE JOINED A GATHERING IN THE 
NEIGHBORHOOD WHERE A WHITE 
OFFICER SHOT THE 29-YEAR-OLD 
BLACK MAN IN THE BACK SEVEN 
TIMES.
IF YOU COULD SPEAK TO THE 
PRESIDENT, WHAT WOULD YOU TELL 
HIM?
>> IT'S TOO LATE, BRO.
HE'S HAD FOUR YEARS IN THAT 
OFFICE.
HE'S DONE NOTHING BUT SPEW HATE 
OUT OF HIS MOUTH THAT BLED DOWN 
TO POLICE FORCES BRUTALIZING 
BLACK PEOPLE.
>> Reporter: AHEAD OF HIS VISIT,
PRESIDENT TRUMP REFUSED TO 
CONDEMN 17-YEAR-OLD KYLE 
RITTENHOUSE WHO POSTED ONLINE 
SUPPORT FOR THE PRESIDENT AND IS
CHARGED WITH SHOOTING AND 
KILLING TWO ANTI-RACISM 
PROTESTERS HERE.
RITTENHOUSE'S ATTORNEY SAYS IT 
WAS SELF-DEFENSE.
JOE BIDEN BLASTED THE PRESIDENT 
BLAMING HIM FOR STOKING 
VIOLENCE.
>> I THINK THAT THE WORDS OF A 
PRESIDENT MATTER.
AND WHEN THEY BREED HATRED, 
THOSE FOLKS ARE HIDING UNDER THE
ROCKS COME OUT.
>> Reporter: IN KENOSHA, THE 
PRESIDENT'S SUPPORTERS LINE THE 
STREETS.
>> I JUST WOULD TELL HIM KEEP 
DOING WHAT YOU'RE DOING.
KEEP FIGHTING FOR OUR RIGHTS.
>> HE'S OBVIOUSLY COMING HERE 
TRYING TO SAY I NOTICE YOU.
WE'RE HERE TO HELP.
>> Reporter: BUT OTHERS ARE 
OUTRAGED AS JACOB BLAKE REMAINS 
IN THE HOSPITAL PARALYZED.
WHY DO YOU THINK THE PRESIDENT 
CAME TO KENOSHA?
>> BECAUSE HE'S DIVISIVE.
IT'S A PHOTO OP.
KENOSHA IS PUTTING ITSELF 
TOGETHER.
KENOSHA'S STRONG WITHOUT DONALD 
TRUMP.
>> Reporter: AS FOR THE 
INVESTIGATION INTO THE BLAKE 
SHOOTING, STATE AUTHORITIES SAY 
THEY'VE CONDUCTED 88 INTERVIEWS 
SO FAR AND PLAN TO SUBMIT CLOSI 
PRESIDENT TRUMP AND JOE BIDEN.
PETER ALEXANDER JOINS US FOR 
MORE ON THAT.
PETER, GOOD MORNING.
WE'VE NOW GOT THE DEMOCRATIC AND
REPUBLICAN CONVENTIONS BEHIND 
US.
THE QUESTION IS, WOULD THEY 
MATTER?
WOULD SOMEONE GET A BUMP IN THE 
POLLS?
WHAT DO THE NEW NUMBERS SHOW US?
>> Reporter: THESE POLLS GIVE A 
SNAPSHOT OF WHERE THIS RACE 
STANDS AS THEY HEAD INTO THE 
FINAL TWO MONTHS.
THE LATEST USA TODAY SUFFOLK 
UNIVERSITY POLL SHOWS BIDEN 
LEADING PRESIDENT TRUMP BY SEVEN
POINTS NATIONALLY.
50-43.
THAT LEAD HAS NARROWED FROM THE 
12-POINT ADVANTAGE THE FORMER VP
HELD IN JUNE.
AND NEW POLLING FROM GRINNELL 
COLLEGE SHOWS BIDEN WITH AN 
EIGHT-POINT LEAD NATIONALLY.
OF COURSE THIS RACE IS GOING TO 
BE DECIDED IN THE KEY SWING 
STATES, BUT THESE NUMBERS DO 
DETAIL DATA POINTS.
THEY SHOW THE PRESIDENT'S 
STRATEGY TO WOO SUBURBAN VOTERS,
ESPECIALLY WOMEN, MAY NOT BE 
WORKING.
BIDEN ACCORDING TO ONE OF THESE 
POLLS LEADS AMONG WOMEN BY 22 
POINTS.
PRESIDENT TRUMP IS FAVORED AMONG
MEN BY SIX POINTS.
BUT CONSIDER THIS.
BIDEN'S LEAD WITH SUBURBAN WOMEN
IS NOW 33 POINTS.
AS FOR THE CORONAVIRUS CRISIS, 
MOST AMERICANS STILL DISAPPROVE 
OF THE PRESIDENT'S HANDLING OF 
THE PANDEMIC.
ON THE ECONOMY, MORE THAN HALF 
APPROVE OF THE JOB THAT HE HAS 
DONE.
>> AS YOU SAY, IT'S THOSE 
BATTLEGROUND POLLS WHERE THE 
ACTION IS REALLY.
ALSO GROWING CONCERNS, PETER AS 
YOU KNOW, ABOUT THE NUMBER OF 
MAIL-IN BALL LOLS, THAT THE 
RESULTS ON ELECTION NIGHT WILL 
NOT ONLY BE DELAYED WHICH WE'VE 
BEEN WARNED ABOUT BUT COULD BE 
MISLEADING EARLY ON.
>> Reporter: YOU'RE RIGHT.
ELECTION EXPERTS HAVE BEEN 
WARNING ABOUT THIS.
THAT PRESIDENT TRUMP COULD LOOK 
TO BE AHEAD AS RESULTS COME IN 
FIRST ON ELECTION NIGHT.
BUT COULD LOSE AFTER THE MAIL-IN
BALLOTS ARE COMPLETED DAYS OR 
MAYBE EVEN WEEKS LATER.
ONE DEMOCRATIC FIRM IS 
DESCRIBING THIS AS A RED MIRAGE.
THE PRESIDENT, HE'S ALREADY 
ATTACKING THIS THEORY THIS 
MORNING TWEETING, RIGGED 
ELECTION, QUESTION MARK.
IT WOULD NOT BE RIGGED, BUT THIS
COULD BE CONFUSING.
AND HERE'S WHY IT COULD HAPPEN.
BECAUSE DEMOCRATS POLLS SHOW 
HAVE BIGGER CONCERNS ABOUT THE 
VIRUS.
FAR MORE DEMOCRATS THAN 
REPUBLICANS RESPECTED TO VOTE BY
MAIL IN THIS ELECTION.
LONGER.
THEY HADN'T LOST IN THIS STATE 
SINCE THE 1940s.
BUT NOW THAT STREAK IS OVER.
A TUESDAY NIGHT TRIUMPH FOR 
SENATOR ED MARKEY.
>> THIS CAMPAIGN HAS ALWAYS BEEN
ABOUT THE YOUNG PEOPLE OF THIS 
COUNTRY.
YOU ARE OUR FUTURE.
>> Reporter: AND THE END OF AN 
UNBEATEN STREAK FOR THE MOST 
STORIED FAMILY IN AMERICAN 
POLITICS WITH JOSEPH KENNEDY III
BECOMING THE FIRST KENNEDY TO 
LOSE A PRIMARY IN MASSACHUSETTS 
IN MORE THAN 70 YEARS IN 
POLITICS.
>> WE MAY HAVE LOST THE FINAL 
VOTE COUNT TONIGHT, BUT WE BUILT
A COALITION THAT WILL ENDURE.
>> Reporter: THE KENNEDY FAMILY 
HAD WON 26 STRAIGHT PRIMARY 
RACES IN MASSACHUSETTS GOING 
BACK TO PRESIDENT TRUMP JOHN F. 
KENNEDY'S FIRST HOUSE RACE IN 
1946.
JOE KENNEDY WHO REPRESENTS THE 
STATE'S FOURTH DISTRICT IN THE 
HOUSE ENTERED THIS RACE AS A 
FAVORITE.
MANY OF HIS SUPPORTS LOOKED AT 
THE VALUES HIS FAMILY 
REPRESENTED HERE.
>> I THINK ABOUT THE HISTORY OF 
HIS FAMILY.
WHAT THEY'VE GONE THROUGH.
WHAT IT KIND OF MEANS TO ME AS A
BLACK MAN.
>> Reporter: BUT IT WAS THE 
74-YEAR-OLD MARQUIS RUNNING FOR 
A SECOND FULL TERM IN THE SENATE
AFTER MORE THAN THREE DECADES IN
THE HOUSE WHO BUILT A WINNING 
COALITION.
HE HAD HELP FROM POWERFUL 
PROGRESSIVE ENDORSERS INCLUDING 
FELLOW SENATOR ELIZABETH WARREN 
AND CONGRESSWOMAN ALEXANDRIA 
OCASIO-CORTEZ.
>> ED MARKEY IS THAT CHAMPION.
>> Reporter: AND WITH WHOM HE 
COAUTHORED THE GREEN NEW DEAL 
ENVIRONMENTAL PLAN.
>> WELL, AS ALEXANDRIA 
OCASIO-CORTEZ SAID, IT'S NOT 
YOUR AGE BUT THE AGE OF YOUR 
IDEAS.
THEN SHE SAID THAT ED MARKEY IS 
THE GENERATIONAL CHANGE WE'VE 
BEEN WAITING FOR.
AND IN THIS RACE WHEN IT COMES 
TO IDEAS, I'M THE YOUNGEST GUYS 
IN THE RACE.
>> Reporter: BOWING OUT LATE 
TUESDAY, KENNEDY GAVE A NOD TO 
HIS FAMILY'S LEGACY.
>> TO MY FAMILY, THE KENNEDY 
FAMILY, YOU ARE MY ROLE MODELS.
YOU ARE MY EXAMPLE OF WHAT 
PUBLIC SERVICE SHOULD BE.
>> Reporter: HODA, KENNEDY HAD 
TO GIVE UP HIS HOUSE SEAT TO RUN
FOR THIS SENATE SEAT.
WE DON'T KNOW WHAT HE'LL DO NEXT
OR IF HE'LL STAY IN POLITICS.
MARQUIS FACES REPUBLICAN LAWYER 
KEVINA.X. IN A JET PACK PUTTING 
PLANES AT RISK.
STEVE PATTERSON IS THERE FOR THE
VERY LATEST.
STEVE, GOOD MORNING.
-- 
>>. 
>> Reporter: WILLIE, GOOD 
MORNING.
THIS IS FAR FROM HARMLESS.
IF THERE WAS A PERSON IN THE 
FLIGHT PATH OF THOSE PLANES, 
THIS WOULD HAVE BEEN A DISASTER.
THIS REACHES NEW HEIGHTS.
>> AMERICAN 1997, WE JUST PASSED
A GUY IN A JET PACK.
>> AMERICAN 1997, OKAY.
THANK YOU FOR THE UPDATE.
LEFT SIDE OR RIGHT SIDE?
>> OFF THE LEFT SIDE, MAYBE 300 
YARDS OR SO.
ABOUT OUR ALTITUDE.
>> Reporter: SUNDAY NIGHT AN 
AMERICAN AIRLINES PILOT ALERTING
THE TOWER AT L.A.X. OF WHAT 
APPEARED TO BE A PERSON HOVERING
AT ROUGHLY 3,000 FEET.
AT FIRST UNBELIEVABLE.
BUT THEN A SECOND PILOT REPORTED
THE SAME THING.
>> WE JUST SAW A GUY IN A JET 
PACK.
>> Reporter: THE TOWER ON ALERT 
THEN WARNS A THIRD PILOT.
>> USE CAUTION.
PERSON ON A JET PACK REPORTED 
300 YARDS SOUTH OF THE THE 
L.A. -- 
>> WE ARE DEFINITELY LOOKING.
>> Reporter: AVIATION EXPERTS 
SAY ANYTHING THAT CLOSE TO A 
PLANE'S FINAL APPROACH IS 
EXTREMELY DANGEROUS.
INCLUDING A GROWING LIST OF 
MODERN NIGHTMARES FACING PILOTS 
FROM DRONES TO LASER POINTERS 
ELEVATING THE RISK OF SAFE 
LANDINGS.
IT WASN'T LONG AGO THAT JET 
PACKS WERE PURE FICTION.
NOW THEY'RE A NEW FRONTIER FOR 
INVENTORS AND A TOY FOR THE 
SUPER RICH.
SOME OF THEM NOW EVEN CAPABLE OF
REACHING UP TO 12,000 FEET.
A JET POWERED HOVER BOARD EVEN 
USED TO FLY ACROSS THE ENGLISH 
CHANNEL.
THANK YOUFULLY NO ONE WAS HURT 
THIS WEEKEND, BUT THE FAA HAS 
LAUNCHED AN INVESTIGATION.
A DANGEROUS CLOSE ENCOUNTER 
TAILOR MADE FOR A CITY BUILT ON 
IMAGINATION.
>> ONLY IN L.A.
>> YEAH.
ONLY IN L.A.
THAT WAS TOTALLY A BIZARRE 
STORY.
SO I GUESS THE QUESTION IS IS 
THAT LEGAL?
CAN THAT GUY FACE CHARGES?
>> Reporter: HODA, FIRST OF ALL,
INVESTIGATORS WOULD BE QUICK TO 
SAY THEY'RE STILL TRYING TO 
DETERMINE IF THERE WAS A PERSON 
IN THE JET PACK IN THE FIRST 
PLACE.
IF THERE WAS, THEY WOULD HAVE 
HAD TO HAVE GOTTEN CLEARANCE 
FROM THE FAA TO FLY IN SUCH A 
TIGHTLY CONTROLLED SPACE.
MEANWHILE THE N BISAYS THEY HAVE
QUESTIONS OF THEIR OWN.
THEY'VE OPENED AN INVESTIGATION 
AS WELL.
>> DO THEY KNOW WHO THE PERSON 
IS?
>> Reporter: THEY DO NOT KNOW 
WHO IT IS.
IT IS STILL A MYSTERY AT THIS 
POINT, GUYS.
BACK TO YOU.
>> ALL NETWORK OF GROCERY 
STORES.
BUT THERE'S A CATCH THAT COULD 
COST YOU IF YOU'RE NOT PAYING 
ATTENTION.
AT A TIME MANY CUSTOMERS ARE 
CONCERNED ABOUT COVID-19 AND 
LOOKING TO AVOID CROWDS AT ALL 
COSTS.
>> SEE THAT LINE?
I HAD TO WIT IN THAT LINE.
IF I CAN GET IT DELIVERED TO MY 
HOUSE, I'D DO IT IN A MINUTE.
>> Reporter: RETAIL BEHEMOTH 
WALMART IS STEPPING UP ITS 
E-COMMERCE GAME.
LEVERAGING ITS 4,700-PLUS STORES
ACROSS THE CONTINUE MORE THAN 
HALF OF WHICH CAN DROP OFF GOODS
THE SAME DAY.
FROM FOOD AND TOYS TO 
ELECTRONICS, A BASKET OF MORE 
THAN 160,000 ITEMS.
>> WE'VE SEEN A MASSIVE UPTICK 
IN PEOPLE WANTING DELIVERY.
SOME PEOPLE WANTING TWO DAY 
DELIVERY, SAME DAY, OR SEVEN 
DAYS IN ADVANCE.
>> Reporter: A MAJOR PERK IN THE
PANDEMIC.
BUT THE NEW PROGRAM COMES WITH A
CAVEAT.
UNLIKE AMAZON WHO HAS NO MINIMUM
ORDER PRICE EXCEPT FOR AMAZON 
AND SAME DAY FRESH DELIVERIES, 
WALMART REQUIRES A MINIMUM $35 
ORDER. 
>> YOU'RE GETTING A CARDBOARD 
BOX WITH AMAZON.
YOU CAN GET ONE ITEM FOR FIVE 
BUCKS.
FROM WALMART, YOU NEED $35 OR 
MORE.
>> Reporter: THE GROCERY 
FOOTPRINT GIVES IT AN EDGE WITH 
STORES TEN MILE OR LESS FROM 90%
OF AMERICANS.
>> IF YOU WANT DELIVERY TO 
SOMEONE'S DOOR PARTICULARLY WITH
SOMETHING LIKE MILK OR EGGS, YOU
NEED TO BE VERY CLOSE TO THEM 
AND YOU NEED TO GET TO THEM 
FAST.
AND THAT'S WHAT WALMART'S 
COUNTING ON WITH THIS PROGRAM.
>> Reporter: THE PLUS PROGRAM 
ALSO OFFERS A UNIQUE TOOL FOR 
IN-STORE PURCHASES CALLED SCAN 
AND GO.
SHOPPERS CAN RING UP ITEMS ON 
THEIR PHONE AND PAY 
ELECTRONICALLY.
BUT WALMART INSISTS IT'S NOT 
TRYING TO EAT INTO AMAZON'S 
PROFITS.
>> WHEN WE DESIGNED THIS, WE 
DIDN'T REALLY DESIGN IT AT 
MAKING DENTS IN ANYONE'S 
BUSINESS.
WHAT WE DID WAS TAKE A HARD LOOK
AT WHAT OUR CUSTOMERS NEED AND 
WHAT THEY WANT AND WHAT THEY 
LOOK FOR.
>> SO SAM, AMAZON PRIME HAS BEEN
AROUND FOR MORE THAN A DECADE 
NOW.
WHY IS WALMART INVESTING NOW IN 
THIS SUBSCRIPTION SERVICES?
BECAUSE OF THE PANDEMIC AND THE 
FACT PEOPLE WON'T BE INSIDE 
THEIR STORES AS MUCH?
>> Reporter: WELL, LOOK.
THE PANDEMIC IS PRELUDE TO 
SOMETHING ELSE RIGHT NOW.
WHICH IS THAT CONSUMER DEMAND 
FOR ONLINE DELIVERY IS 
SKYROCKETING.
WALMART SAW ITS ONLINE SALES 
DOUBLE NEARLY LAST QUARTER.
THERE'S NO VIDEO STREAMING 
SERVICE LIKE YOU WOULD SEE WITH 
AN AMAZON PRIME.
BUT THERE'S OTHER BENEFITS 
GETTING IN ADDITION TO THAT.
LIKE UP TO 5 CENTS PER GALLON 
OFF FOR WALMART PLUS CUSTOMERS.
THEY SAY IT'S AN EVOLVING 
PROGRAM.EW
DAYS WILL BE CRITICAL TO 
CONTROLLING THE SPREAD OF THE 
VIRUS.
THIS MORNING TOP U.S. OFFICIALS 
SOUNDING THE ALARM.
AMERICANS NEED TO BE CAREFUL 
THIS LABOR DAY WEEKEND OR RISK 
KICK STARTING THE SURGE OF 
CORONAVIRUS CASES IN THE FALL.
>> LABOR DAY IS COMING UP AND WE
NEED TO STRESS PERSONAL 
RESPONSIBILITY.
>> Reporter: ON TUESDAY HHS 
ASSISTANT SECRETARY ADDS MIRL 
GIR ARE -- GIROR.
HIS WARNING COMING AFTER DR. 
ANTHONY FAUCI REPORTEDLY TOLD A 
WHITE HOUSE MEETING OF GOVERNORS
THAT THE HOLIDAY WILL DETERMINE 
IF THE U.S. IS ABLE TO GET A 
RUNNING START IN BATTLING THE 
DISEASE THIS FALL.
CORONAVIRUS CASES AND 
HOSPITALIZATIONS ARE DOWN 
NATIONWIDE SINCE THEIR PEEK IN 
JULY.
OFFICIALS ARE HOPING TO PREVENT 
ANOTHER UPTICK.
LIKE THE ONE SEEN AFTER MEMORIAL
DAY WHEN SOCIAL DISTANCING 
GUIDELINES WERE IGNORED AT POOL 
PARTIES LIKE THIS ONE AT THE 
LAKE OF THE OZARKS.
AND AFTER THE FOURTH OF JULY 
WHEN PEOPLE FLOCKED TO CROWDED 
BEACHES TO ESCAPE THE SUMMER 
HEAT.
DANGEROUS NEW OUTBREAKS IN 
STATES LIKE IOWA ARE ALREADY 
RAISING CONCERNS ABOUT THE NEXT 
FEW MONTHS.
THERE THE THREE COUNTIES WITH 
THE HIGHEST NUMBER OF 
CORONAVIRUS CASES HAVE LARGE 
COLLEGE POPULATIONS.
SOME ARE NOW CALLING FOR ROUTINE
RANDOM TESTING OF STUDENTS AND 
STAFF INCLUDING NEW YORK PUBLIC 
SCHOOLS WHERE THE START DATE OF 
IN-CLASS LEARNING HAS BEEN 
PUSHED BACK.
ALL OF THIS COMES AS RESEARCHERS
FROM OXFORD UNIVERSITY AND DRUG 
MAKER ASTRAZENECA BECOME THE 
LATEST TEAM TO ENTER THE FINAL 
ROUND OF TESTING FOR A 
CORONAVIRUS VACCINE.
JACOB SERRANO IS THE FIRST 
AMERICAN TO BE DOSED WITH EITHER
THE VACCINE CANDIDATE OR A 
PLACEBO.
SEVEN MEMBERS OF HIS FAMILY LOST
THEIR LIVES TO THE VIRUS.
DO YOU THINK THAT WHAT YOU'RE 
DOING NOW COULD PREVENT FUTURE 
FATALITIES?
>> I DON'T BELIEVE ANYONE 
DESERVES TO LOSE THEIR LIFE 
ESPECIALLY THROUGH A VIRUS THAT 
WE COULD HAVE STOPPED.
>> Reporter: THIS MORNING A 
GLIMMER OF HOPE AFTER SO MUCH 
HEART BREAK AROUND THE WORLD.
ALTHOUGH THIS POSSIBLE VACCINE 
WOULDN'T BE AVAILABLE IN TIME 
FOR THE FALL, RESEARCHERS HOPE 
TO KNOW HOW EFFECTIVE IT IS BY 
THANKSGIVING.
IF SUCCESSFUL, IT COULD BE 
DISTRIBUTED IN FOUR DIFFERENT 
PHASES WITH HEALTH CARE WORKERS 
AND THE VULNERABLE GETTING IT 
FIRST.
HODA?
>> MIGUEL, THERE ARE A LOT OF 
PEOPLE WHO ARE OUT OF WORK, 
PEOPLE FACING EVICTIONS.
YOU'VE GOT SOME NEWS ON MAYBE A 
REPRIEVE FOR THEM?
>> Reporter: YEAH, HODA.
THAT'S RIGHT.
THE CDC IS ORDERING A HALT OF 
EVICTIONS NATIONWIDE FOR PEOPLE 
WHO LOST WORK DURING THE 
PANDEMIC AND DON'T HAVE OTHER 
GOOD HOUSING OPTIONS.
THE GOAL OF THE NEW EVICTION BAN
IS TO STEM THE SPREAD OF THE 
OUTBREAK WHICH THE AGENCY IN I  
SURGERY, I COULD HEAR IT IN HIS

SURGERY, I HAD TO TALK TO HIM.

>> WE'LL HELP YOU REBUILD.
IT'S A GREAT STATE.
>> Reporter: NINE DAYS AFTER THE
POLICE SHOOTING OF JACOB BLAKE, 
THE PRESIDENT AND ATTORNEY 
GENERAL WILLIAM BARR SPOKE WITH 
LAW ENFORCEMENT HERE.
>> WE HAVE TO CONDEMN THE 
DANGEROUS ANTI-POLICE RHETORIC.
IT'S GETTING MORE AND MORE -- 
IT'S VERY UNFAIR.
>> Reporter: HE DID NOT MEET 
WITH BLAKE'S FAMILY BECAUSE THE 
PRESIDENT SAYS THEY WANTED A 
LAWYER PRESENT.
>> I'M SUCKING UP ALL THE PAIN 
WE HAVE JUST TO STAND ON OUR 
SQUARE UNTIL WE GET JUSTICE FOR 
LITTLE JAKE.
>> Reporter: INSTEAD BLAKE'S 
UNCLE JOINED A GATHERING IN THE 
NEIGHBORHOOD WHERE A WHITE 
OFFICER SHOT THE 29-YEAR-OLD 
BLACK MAN IN THE BACK SEVEN 
TIMES.
IF YOU COULD SPEAK TO THE 
PRESIDENT, WHAT WOULD YOU TELL 
HIM?
>> IT'S TOO LATE, BRO.
HE'S HAD FOUR YEARS IN THAT 
OFFICE.
HE'S DONE NOTHING BUT SPEW HATE 
OUT OF HIS MOUTH THAT BLED DOWN 
TO POLICE FORCES BRUTALIZING 
BLACK PEOPLE.
>> Reporter: AHEAD OF HIS VISIT,
PRESIDENT TRUMP REFUSED TO 
CONDEMN 17-YEAR-OLD KYLE 
RITTENHOUSE WHO POSTED ONLINE 
SUPPORT FOR THE PRESIDENT AND IS
CHARGED WITH SHOOTING AND 
KILLING TWO ANTI-RACISM 
PROTESTERS HERE.
RITTENHOUSE'S ATTORNEY SAYS IT 
WAS SELF-DEFENSE.
JOE BIDEN BLASTED THE PRESIDENT 
BLAMING HIM FOR STOKING 
VIOLENCE.
>> I THINK THAT THE WORDS OF A 
PRESIDENT MATTER.
AND WHEN THEY BREED HATRED, 
THOSE FOLKS ARE HIDING UNDER THE
ROCKS COME OUT.
>> Reporter: IN KENOSHA, THE 
PRESIDENT'S SUPPORTERS LINE THE 
STREETS.
>> I JUST WOULD TELL HIM KEEP 
DOING WHAT YOU'RE DOING.
KEEP FIGHTING FOR OUR RIGHTS.
>> HE'S OBVIOUSLY COMING HERE 
TRYING TO SAY I NOTICE YOU.
WE'RE HERE TO HELP.
>> Reporter: BUT OTHERS ARE 
OUTRAGED AS JACOB BLAKE REMAINS 
IN THE HOSPITAL PARALYZED.
WHY DO YOU THINK THE PRESIDENT 
CAME TO KENOSHA?
>> BECAUSE HE'S DIVISIVE.
IT'S A PHOTO OP.
KENOSHA IS PUTTING ITSELF 
TOGETHER.
KENOSHA'S STRONG WITHOUT DONALD 
TRUMP.
>> Reporter: AS FOR THE 
INVESTIGATION INTO THE BLAKE 
SHOOTING, STATE AUTHORITIES SAY 
THEY'VE CONDUCTED 88 INTERVIEWS 
SO FAR AND PLAN TO SUBMIT CLOSI 
PRESIDENT TRUMP AND JOE BIDEN.
PETER ALEXANDER JOINS US FOR 
MORE ON THAT.
PETER, GOOD MORNING.
WE'VE NOW GOT THE DEMOCRATIC AND
REPUBLICAN CONVENTIONS BEHIND 
US.
THE QUESTION IS, WOULD THEY 
MATTER?
WOULD SOMEONE GET A BUMP IN THE 
POLLS?
WHAT DO THE NEW NUMBERS SHOW US?
>> Reporter: THESE POLLS GIVE A 
SNAPSHOT OF WHERE THIS RACE 
STANDS AS THEY HEAD INTO THE 
FINAL TWO MONTHS.
THE LATEST USA TODAY SUFFOLK 
UNIVERSITY POLL SHOWS BIDEN 
LEADING PRESIDENT TRUMP BY SEVEN
POINTS NATIONALLY.
50-43.
THAT LEAD HAS NARROWED FROM THE 
12-POINT ADVANTAGE THE FORMER VP
HELD IN JUNE.
AND NEW POLLING FROM GRINNELL 
COLLEGE SHOWS BIDEN WITH AN 
EIGHT-POINT LEAD NATIONALLY.
OF COURSE THIS RACE IS GOING TO 
BE DECIDED IN THE KEY SWING 
STATES, BUT THESE NUMBERS DO 
DETAIL DATA POINTS.
THEY SHOW THE PRESIDENT'S 
STRATEGY TO WOO SUBURBAN VOTERS,
ESPECIALLY WOMEN, MAY NOT BE 
WORKING.
BIDEN ACCORDING TO ONE OF THESE 
POLLS LEADS AMONG WOMEN BY 22 
POINTS.
PRESIDENT TRUMP IS FAVORED AMONG
MEN BY SIX POINTS.
BUT CONSIDER THIS.
BIDEN'S LEAD WITH SUBURBAN WOMEN
IS NOW 33 POINTS.
AS FOR THE CORONAVIRUS CRISIS, 
MOST AMERICANS STILL DISAPPROVE 
OF THE PRESIDENT'S HANDLING OF 
THE PANDEMIC.
ON THE ECONOMY, MORE THAN HALF 
APPROVE OF THE JOB THAT HE HAS 
DONE.
>> AS YOU SAY, IT'S THOSE 
BATTLEGROUND POLLS WHERE THE 
ACTION IS REALLY.
ALSO GROWING CONCERNS, PETER AS 
YOU KNOW, ABOUT THE NUMBER OF 
MAIL-IN BALL LOLS, THAT THE 
RESULTS ON ELECTION NIGHT WILL 
NOT ONLY BE DELAYED WHICH WE'VE 
BEEN WARNED ABOUT BUT COULD BE 
MISLEADING EARLY ON.
>> Reporter: YOU'RE RIGHT.
ELECTION EXPERTS HAVE BEEN 
WARNING ABOUT THIS.
THAT PRESIDENT TRUMP COULD LOOK 
TO BE AHEAD AS RESULTS COME IN 
FIRST ON ELECTION NIGHT.
BUT COULD LOSE AFTER THE MAIL-IN
BALLOTS ARE COMPLETED DAYS OR 
MAYBE EVEN WEEKS LATER.
ONE DEMOCRATIC FIRM IS 
DESCRIBING THIS AS A RED MIRAGE.
THE PRESIDENT, HE'S ALREADY 
ATTACKING THIS THEORY THIS 
MORNING TWEETING, RIGGED 
ELECTION, QUESTION MARK.
IT WOULD NOT BE RIGGED, BUT THIS
COULD BE CONFUSING.
AND HERE'S WHY IT COULD HAPPEN.
BECAUSE DEMOCRATS POLLS SHOW 
HAVE BIGGER CONCERNS ABOUT THE 
VIRUS.
FAR MORE DEMOCRATS THAN 
REPUBLICANS RESPECTED TO VOTE BY
MAIL IN THIS ELECTION.
LONGER.
THEY HADN'T LOST IN THIS STATE 
SINCE THE 1940s.
BUT NOW THAT STREAK IS OVER.
A TUESDAY NIGHT TRIUMPH FOR 
SENATOR ED MARKEY.
>> THIS CAMPAIGN HAS ALWAYS BEEN
ABOUT THE YOUNG PEOPLE OF THIS 
COUNTRY.
YOU ARE OUR FUTURE.
>> Reporter: AND THE END OF AN 
UNBEATEN STREAK FOR THE MOST 
STORIED FAMILY IN AMERICAN 
POLITICS WITH JOSEPH KENNEDY III
BECOMING THE FIRST KENNEDY TO 
LOSE A PRIMARY IN MASSACHUSETTS 
IN MORE THAN 70 YEARS IN 
POLITICS.
>> WE MAY HAVE LOST THE FINAL 
VOTE COUNT TONIGHT, BUT WE BUILT
A COALITION THAT WILL ENDURE.
>> Reporter: THE KENNEDY FAMILY 
HAD WON 26 STRAIGHT PRIMARY 
RACES IN MASSACHUSETTS GOING 
BACK TO PRESIDENT TRUMP JOHN F. 
KENNEDY'S FIRST HOUSE RACE IN 
1946.
JOE KENNEDY WHO REPRESENTS THE 
STATE'S FOURTH DISTRICT IN THE 
HOUSE ENTERED THIS RACE AS A 
FAVORITE.
MANY OF HIS SUPPORTS LOOKED AT 
THE VALUES HIS FAMILY 
REPRESENTED HERE.
>> I THINK ABOUT THE HISTORY OF 
HIS FAMILY.
WHAT THEY'VE GONE THROUGH.
WHAT IT KIND OF MEANS TO ME AS A
BLACK MAN.
>> Reporter: BUT IT WAS THE 
74-YEAR-OLD MARQUIS RUNNING FOR 
A SECOND FULL TERM IN THE SENATE
AFTER MORE THAN THREE DECADES IN
THE HOUSE WHO BUILT A WINNING 
COALITION.
HE HAD HELP FROM POWERFUL 
PROGRESSIVE ENDORSERS INCLUDING 
FELLOW SENATOR ELIZABETH WARREN 
AND CONGRESSWOMAN ALEXANDRIA 
OCASIO-CORTEZ.
>> ED MARKEY IS THAT CHAMPION.
>> Reporter: AND WITH WHOM HE 
COAUTHORED THE GREEN NEW DEAL 
ENVIRONMENTAL PLAN.
>> WELL, AS ALEXANDRIA 
OCASIO-CORTEZ SAID, IT'S NOT 
YOUR AGE BUT THE AGE OF YOUR 
IDEAS.
THEN SHE SAID THAT ED MARKEY IS 
THE GENERATIONAL CHANGE WE'VE 
BEEN WAITING FOR.
AND IN THIS RACE WHEN IT COMES 
TO IDEAS, I'M THE YOUNGEST GUYS 
IN THE RACE.
>> Reporter: BOWING OUT LATE 
TUESDAY, KENNEDY GAVE A NOD TO 
HIS FAMILY'S LEGACY.
>> TO MY FAMILY, THE KENNEDY 
FAMILY, YOU ARE MY ROLE MODELS.
YOU ARE MY EXAMPLE OF WHAT 
PUBLIC SERVICE SHOULD BE.
>> Reporter: HODA, KENNEDY HAD 
TO GIVE UP HIS HOUSE SEAT TO RUN
FOR THIS SENATE SEAT.
WE DON'T KNOW WHAT HE'LL DO NEXT
OR IF HE'LL STAY IN POLITICS.
MARQUIS FACES REPUBLICAN LAWYER 
KEVINA.X. IN A JET PACK PUTTING 
PLANES AT RISK.
STEVE PATTERSON IS THERE FOR THE
VERY LATEST.
STEVE, GOOD MORNING.
-- 
>>. 
>> Reporter: WILLIE, GOOD 
MORNING.
THIS IS FAR FROM HARMLESS.
IF THERE WAS A PERSON IN THE 
FLIGHT PATH OF THOSE PLANES, 
THIS WOULD HAVE BEEN A DISASTER.
THIS REACHES NEW HEIGHTS.
>> AMERICAN 1997, WE JUST PASSED
A GUY IN A JET PACK.
>> AMERICAN 1997, OKAY.
THANK YOU FOR THE UPDATE.
LEFT SIDE OR RIGHT SIDE?
>> OFF THE LEFT SIDE, MAYBE 300 
YARDS OR SO.
ABOUT OUR ALTITUDE.
>> Reporter: SUNDAY NIGHT AN 
AMERICAN AIRLINES PILOT ALERTING
THE TOWER AT L.A.X. OF WHAT 
APPEARED TO BE A PERSON HOVERING
AT ROUGHLY 3,000 FEET.
AT FIRST UNBELIEVABLE.
BUT THEN A SECOND PILOT REPORTED
THE SAME THING.
>> WE JUST SAW A GUY IN A JET 
PACK.
>> Reporter: THE TOWER ON ALERT 
THEN WARNS A THIRD PILOT.
>> USE CAUTION.
PERSON ON A JET PACK REPORTED 
300 YARDS SOUTH OF THE THE 
L.A. -- 
>> WE ARE DEFINITELY LOOKING.
>> Reporter: AVIATION EXPERTS 
SAY ANYTHING THAT CLOSE TO A 
PLANE'S FINAL APPROACH IS 
EXTREMELY DANGEROUS.
INCLUDING A GROWING LIST OF 
MODERN NIGHTMARES FACING PILOTS 
FROM DRONES TO LASER POINTERS 
ELEVATING THE RISK OF SAFE 
>>> IT WASN'T 
LONG AGO THAT 
JET PACKS WERE 
PURE FICTION. 
NOW, THEY'RE A 
NEW FRONTIER FOR 
DAREDEVILS AND A 
TOY FOR THE 
SUPER RICH. 
SOME OF THEM NOW 
EACH CAPABLE OF 
REACHING 12,000 
FEET. 
A JET POWERED 
HOVER BOARD 
RECENTLY USED TO 
GLIDE ACROSS THE 
CHANNEL. 
THANKFULLY 
NOBODY WAS HURT 
THIS WEEK. 
BUT THE FAA HAS 
LAUNCHED AN 
INVESTIGATION. 
A DANGEROUS, 
CLOSE ENCOUNTER, 
TAILOR-MADE FOR 
A CITY BUILT ON 
IMAGINATION. 
>> ONLY IN L.A. 
>> YEAH. 
ONLY IN L.A. 
THAT WAS TOTALLY 
A BIZARRE STORY. 
I GUESS THE 
QUESTION IS, IS 
THAT LEGAL? 
CAN THAT GUY 
FACE CHARGES? 
>> FIRST OF ALL. 
INVESTIGATORS 
WOULD BE QUICK 
TO SEE IF THERE 
WAS A PERSON IN 
THE JET PACK IN 
THE FIRST PLACE. 
BUT IF THERE 
WAS, THEY WOULD 
HAVE HAD TO HAVE 
GOTTEN CLEARANCE 
FROM THE FAA TO 
FLY IN SUCH A 
TIGHTLY 
CONTROLLED 
SPACE. 
THEY'VE OPENED 
AN INVESTIGATION 
THIS MORNING AS 
WELL. 
>> DO THEY KNOW 
WHO IT IS? 
WHO THE PERSON 
IS? 
>> THEY DO NOT 
KNOW WHO IT IS. 
IT IS STILL A 
MYSTERY AT THIS 
POINT, GUYS. 
BACK TO YOU. 
>> STEVE 
PATTERSON, THANK 
YOU. 
A LOT OF 
QUESTIONS ON 
THAT ONE. 
>> HAVE TO WORRY 
ABOUT JET PACKS 
NOW, TOO? 
WE'VE GOT ENOUGH 
TO WORRY ABOUT. 
>>> THIS 
MORNING, TOP 
U.S. OFFICIALS 
SOUNDING THE 
ALARM. 
MIRNS NEED TO BE 
CAREFUL THIS 
LABOR DAY 
WEEKEND, OR RISK 
KICK-STARTING 
THE SURGE OF 
CORONAVIRUS

COMING UP, AND 
WE NEED TO 
STRESS PERSONAL 
RESPONSIBILITY. 
>> Reporter: ON 
TUESDAY, HHS 
ASSISTANT 
SECRETARY 
ADMIRAL GERAR 
TALKING TO

>> AFTER GOING 
INTO THE FALL, 
WITH DECREASING 
CASES LIKE WE 
HAVE NOW, WE 
CAN'T RISK A 
LACK OF PERSONAL 
RESPONSIBILITIES. 
>> HIS WARNING, 
COMING AFTER DR. 
ANTHONY FAUCI 
REPORTEDLY TOLD 
THE WHITE HOUSE 
MEETING OF 
GOVERNORS THAT 
THE HOLIDAY WILL 
DETERMINE IF THE 
U.S. IS ABLE TO 
GET A RUNNING 
START IN 
BATTLING THE 
DISEASE THIS 
FALL. 
CORONAVIRUS 
CASES AND 
HOSPITALIZATIONS 
ARE DOWN 
NATIONWIDE SINCE 
THEIR PEAK IN 
JULY. 
BUT OFFICIALS 
ARE HOPING TO 
PREVENT ANOTHER 
UPTICK. 
LIKE THE ONES 
SEEN AFTER 
MEMORIAL DAY, 
WHEN SOCIAL 
DISTANCING 
GUIDELINES WERE 
IGNORED AT POOL 
PARTIES LIKE 
THIS ONE, AT THE 
LAKE OF THE 
OZARKS. 
AND AFTER THE 
4th OF JULY, 
WHEN PEOPLE 
FLOCK TO CROWDED 
BEACHES TO 
ESCAPE THE 
SUMMER HEAT. 
DANGEROUS NEW 
OUTBREAKS IN 
STATES LIKE IOWA 
ARE ALREADY 
RAISING CONCERNS 
ABOUT THE NEXT 
FEW MONTHS. 
THERE, THE THREE 
COUNTIES WITH 
THE HIGHEST 
NUMBER OF 
CORONAVIRUS 
CASES HAVE LARGE 
COLLEGE 
POPULATIONS. 
SOME ARE NOW 
CALLING FOR 
ROUTINE, RANDOM 
TESTING, OF 
OPPORTUNITIES 
AND STAFF. 
INCLUDE NEW YORK 
PUBLIC SCHOOLS, 
WITH THE START 
DAY OF IN-CLASS 
LEARNING HAS 
BEEN PUSHED 
BACK. 
ALL OF THIS 
COMES AS 
RESEARCHERS FROM 
OXFORD 
UNIVERSITY, AND 
DRUG MAKER 
ASTRAZENECCA, 
BECOME THE 
LATEST TEAM TO 
ENTER THE FINAL 
ROUND OF TESTING 
FOR A 
CORONAVIRUS 
VACCINE. 
JACOB SORANO IS 
THE FIRST 
AMERICAN TO BE 
DOUSED WITH 
EITHER THE 
VACCINE 
CANDIDATE OR A 
PLACEBO. 
SEVEN MEMBERS OF 
HIS FAMILY LOST 
THEIR LIVES TO 
THE VIRUS. 
>> DO YOU THINK 
THAT WHAT 
THEY'RE DOING 
NOW COULD 
PREVENT FUTURE 
FATALITIES? 
>> I DON'T 
BELIEVE ANYONE 
DESERVES TO LIVE 
THEIR LIFE. 
ESPECIALLY 
THROUGH A VIRUS 
THAT WE COULD 
HAVE STOPPED. 
>> Reporter: 
THIS MORNING, A 
GLIMMER OF HOPE, 
AFTER SO MUCH 
HEARTBREAK 
AROUND THE 
WORLD. 
>> ALTHOUGH THIS 
POSSIBLE VACCINE 
WOULDN'T BE 
AVAILABLE IN 
TIME FOR THE 
FALL, 
RESEARCHERS HOPE 
TO KNOW HOW 
EFFECTIVE IT IS 
BY THANKSGIVING. 
IF SUCCESSFUL, 
IF COULD BE 
DISTRIBUTED IN 
FOUR DIFFERENT 
PHASES WITH 
HEALTH CARE 
WORKERS AND THE 
VULNERABLE 
GETTING IT 
FIRST. 
HODA? 
>> MIGUEL, THERE 
ARE A LOT OF 
PEOPLE OUT OF 
WORK. 
A LOT OF PEOPLE 
FACING 
EVICTIONS. 
YOU'VE GOT NEWS 
ON MAYBE A 
REPRIEVE FOR 
THEM? 
>> YEAH, HODA, 
THAT'S RIGHT. 
THE CDC IS 
ORDERING A HALT 
ON EVICTIONS 
NATIONWIDE 
THROUGH 
DECEMBER, FOR 
PEOPLE WHO HAVE 
LOST WORK DURING 
THE PANDEMIC AND 
DON'T HAVE OTHER 
DEAD HOUSING 
OPTIONS. 
THE GOAL IS TO 
STEM THE SPREAD 
OF THE OUTBREAK, 
WHICH THE AGENCY 
IN ITS ORDER 
SAYS PRESENTS A 
HISTORIC THREAT 
TO PUBLIC 
HEALTH. 
>> ALL RIGHT. 
MIGUEL ALMAGUER, 
THANK YOU. 
>>> I BELIEVE 
THAT BY THE TIME 
WE GET TO THE 
END OF THIS 
CALENDAR YEAR, 
THAT WE WILL 
FEEL COMFORTABLE 
THAT WE DO HAVE 
A SAFE AND 
EFFECTIVE 
VACCINE. 
>> Reporter: DR. 
ANTHONY FAUCI IS 
POSITIVE A COVID-
19 VACCINE IS ON 
THE WAY. 
SPEAKING OF THE 
POSSIBILITY OF 
GETTING ONE TO 
THE PUBLIC MORE 
QUICKLY, BY WAY 
OF EMERGENCY USE 
AUTHORIZATION. 
>> I WOULD NOT 
BE COMFORTABLE 
WITH A VACCINE, 
UNLESS IT WAS 
SHOWN IN A 
CLINICAL TRIAL 
CLEARLY TO BE 
SAFE AND 
EFFECTIVE. 
I'VE BEEN 
THROUGH A NUMBER 
OF VACCINE 
TRIALS IN WHICH 
EUAs HAVE OPENLY 
BEEN DONE. 
BUT THEY HAVE 
BEEN DONE WHEN 
THERE WAS ENOUGH 
DATA THAT YOU 
WOULD REALLY 
FEEL COMFORTABLE 
THAT IT WAS SAFE 
AND EFFECTIVE 
FOR THE AMERICAN 
PUBLIC. 
>> Reporter: AND 
AS COVID CASES 
SPIKE ON MANY 
COLLEGE 
CAMPUSES, 
SCHOOLS ARE 
STRUGGLING WITH 
WHAT TO DO WITH 
INFECTED 
STUDENTS. 
>> SO THE CAMPUS 
IS SHUT DOWN AND 
KID GOES HOME. 
>> IT'S THE 
WORST THING YOU 
CAN DO, KEEP 
THEM AT A 
UNIVERSITY IN A 
PLACE THAT IS 
SEQUESTERED 
ENOUGH FROM THE 
OTHER STUDENTS 
BUT DON'T HAVE 
THEM GO HOME 
BECAUSE THEY 
COULD BE GOING 
HOME IN THEIR 
HOME STATE. 
>> AN INCREASE 
COULD BE COMING. 
ARE YOU 
CONCERNED ABOUT 
THAT AS WE HEAD 
INTO THIS 
WEEKEND? 
>> WHEN YOU HAVE 
A HOLIDAY, LIKE 
LABOR DAY, WE 
HAVE SEEN -- WE 
SAW AFTER 4th OF 
JULY, AFTER 
MEMORIAL DAY, A 
SURGE IN CASES. 
WEAR A MASK. 
KEEP SOCIAL 
DISTANCING. 
AVOID CROWDS. 
YOU CAN AVOID 
THOSE KIND OF 
SURGES. 
YOU DON'T WANT 
TO BE SOMEBODY 
WHO IS 
PROPAGATED THE 
OUTBREAK. 
YOU WANT TO BE 
PART OF THE 
SOLUTION. 
NOT PART OF THE 
PROBLEM. 
>> CAN WE GET 
SOME CONTROL OF 
THIS AS WE LOOK 
AHEAD TO FLU 
SEASON? 
AND ARE YOU 
CONCERNED ABOUT 
A TWINDEMMIC AS 
THEY SAY? 
>> YOU KNOW, I 
AM. 
AND WHAT I WOULD 
REALLY LIKE TO 
SEE IS KIND OF A 
FULL COURT PRESS 
TO GET US WAY 
DOWN AT THE 
BASELINE, SO 
THAT WHEN YOU 
GET THESE CASES 
IN THE FALL, 
THEY WON'T SURGE 
UP, THEY'LL BE 
CONTROLLABLE. 
>> Reporter: 
BOTTOM LINE, HE 
SAYS,ING UNTIL 
WE GET A VACCINE 
THAT IS 
AVAILABLE FOR 
EVERYONE, WE 
CAN'T STRESS 
THIS ENOUGH, WE 
REALLY HAVE TO 
BE CAREFUL. 
AND THIS LABOR 
DAY IS CRITICAL 
IF WE WANT TO 
TURN THINGS 
AROUND.

THIS IS A WILD 
STORY. 
BUT IT IS FAR 
FROM HARMLESS. 
EXPERTS SAY IF 
THERE WAS A 
PERSON IN A JET 
PACK, IN THE 
FLIGHT PATH OF 
THOSE PLANES, 
THIS COULD HAVE 
BEEN A DISASTER 
AND THIS 
MORNING, 
INVESTIGATORS 
WANT ANSWERS. 
>>> IN THE 
STRATOSPHERE OF 
UNTHINKABLE 
THINGS SPOTTED 
IN THE SKY, THIS 
ONE REACHES NEW 
HEIGHTS. 
>> WE JUST 
PASSED A GUY IN 
A JET PACK. 
>> AMERICAN 
1997. 
OKAY. 
WERE THEY ON THE 
LEFT SIDE OR 
RIGHT SIDE? 
>> OFF THE LEFT 
SIDE. 
MAYBE 300 YARDS 
OR SO? 
ABOUT AN HOUR 
OUT? 
>> SUNDAY NIGHT, 
AN AMERICAN 
AIRLINES FLIGHT 
ALERTING THE 
FLIGHT TOWER OF 
L.A.X. 
OF WHAT APPEARED 
TO BE A PERSON 
HOVERING AT 
ROUGHLY 3,000 
FEET. 
AT FIRST, 
UNBELIEVABLE. 
BUT THEN A 
SECOND PILOT 
REPORTED THE 
SAME THING. 
THE TOWER, NOW 
ON ALERT, THEN 
WARNS A THIRD 
PILOT. 
>> HE'S GOT HIM. 
PERSON ON THE 
JET PACK 
REPORTED 300 
YARDS DOWN THE 
FINAL. 
>> WE ARE 
HURTING. 
WE ARE 
DEFINITELY 
LOOKING. 
>> AVIATION 
EXPERTS SAY 
ANYTHING THAT 
CLOSE TO A 
PLANE'S FINAL 
APPROACH IS 
EXTREMELY 
DANGEROUS, 
INCLUDING A 
GROWING LIST OF 
MODERN 
NIGHTMARES, 
FACING PILOTS, 
FROM DRONES TO 
LASER POINTERS, 
ELEVATING THE 
RISK OF SAFE 
LANDINGS. 
IT WASN'T LONG 
AGO THAT JET 
PACKS WERE PURE 
FICTION. 
NOW -- 
>> GOING UP. 
>> THEY'RE A NEW 
FRONTIER FOR 
INVENTORS AND 
DAREDEVILS AND A 
TOY FOR THE 
SUPER RICH. 
SOME OF THEM NOW 
EVEN CAPABLE OF 
REACHING UP TO 
12,000 FEET. 
A JET-POWERED 
HOVER 
BOARDRECENTLY 
EVEN USED TO 
GLIDE ACROSS THE 
CHANNEL. 
THANKFULLY, 
NOBODY WAS HURT 
THIS WEEKEND. 
BUT THE FAA HAS 
LAUNCHED AN 
INVESTIGATION. 
A DANGEROUS 
CLOSE ENCOUNTER, 
TAILOR-MADE FOR 
A CITY BUILT ON 
IMAGINATION. 
>> ONLY IN L.A. 
>> YEAH. 
ONLY IN L.A. 
THAT WAS TOTALLY 
A BIZARRE STORY. 
SO I GUESS THE 
QUESTION, TOO, 
IS THAT LEGAL? 
CAN THAT GUY 
FACE CHARGES? 
>> WELL, HODA, 
FIRST OF ALL. 
INVESTIGATORS 
WOULD BE QUICK 
TO SAY, THEY'RE 
STILL TRYING TO 
DETERMINE IF 
THERE WAS A 
PERSON IN A JET 
PACK IN THE 
FIRST PLACE. 
BUT IF THERE 
WAS, THEY WOULD 
HAVE HAD TO HAVE 
GOTTEN CLEARANCE 
FROM THE FAA TO 
FLY IN SUCH A 
TIGHTLY-
CONTROLLED 
SPACE. 
MEANWHILE, THE 
FBI SAYS THEY 
HAVE QUESTIONS 
OF THEIR OWN. 
THEY'VE OPENED 
AN INVESTIGATION 
THIS MORNING AS 
WELL. 
GUYS, BACK TO 
YOU. 
>> DO THEY KNOW 
WHO IT IS? 
WHO THE PERSON 
IS? 
>> THEY DO NOT 
KNOW WHO IT IS. 
IT IT STILL A 
MYSTERY AT THIS 
POINT, GUYS. 
BACK TO YOU. 
>> ALL RIGHT. 
STEVE PATTERSON. 
THANK YOU. 
>> GOTTA WORRY 
ABOUT JET PACKS, 
TOO? 
>> HELLO. 
>> GOT ENOUGH TO 
WORRY ABOUT. 
>>> AT A TIME 
MANY CUSTOMERS 
ARE CONCERNED 
ABOUT COVID-19 
AND LOOKING TO 
AVOID CROWDS AT 
ALL COSTS. 
>> SEE THAT? 
I HAD TO WAIT IN 
THAT LINE. 
IF I COULD GET 
IT DELIVERED TO 
MY HOUSE, I'D DO 
IT IN A MINUTE. 
>> RETAIL 
BEHEMOTH WALMART 
IS STEPPING UP 
ITS E-COMMERCE 
GAME, OFFERING A 
$98 ANNUAL 
SUBSCRIPTION 
CALLED WALMART 
PLUS. 
THE COMPANY SAYS 
IT WILL GIVE 
CUSTOMERS ACCESS 
TO SPEEDIER 
DELIVERY, 
LEVERAGING ITS 
4700 STORES 
ACROSS THE 
COUNTRY, MORE 
THAN HALF OF 
WHICH CAN DROP 
OFF GOODS THE 
SAME DAY. 
FROM FOOD AND 
TOYS, 
ELECTRONICS. 
A BASKET OF MORE 
THAN 160,000 
ITEMS. 
>> WE'VE SEEN A 
MASSIVE UPTICK 
IN PEOPLE 
WANTING 
DELIVERY. 
SOME WANTING 
DELIVERY SAME 
DAY OR UP TO 
SEVEN DAYS IN 
ADVANCE. 
>> A MAJOR PERK 
IN A PANDEMIC. 
BUT THE NEW 
PROGRAM COMES 
WITH A CAVEAT. 
UNLIKE 
COMPETITOR 
AMAZON, WHOSE 
PRIME SERVICE 
COSTS $117 A 
YEAR, AND HAS NO 
MINIMUM ORDER 
PRICE, EXCEPT 
SAME DAY AND 
AMAZON FRESH 
FOOD DELIVERIES, 
WALMART PLUS 
REQUIRES A $35 
ORDER TO AVOID 
FEES. 
>> YOU CAN GET A 
BOX FROM AMAZON, 
YOU CAN GET ONE 
ITEM THAT IS $5. 
IF YOU ARE 
ORDERING FROM 
WALMART, HAVE 
YOU TO ORDER $35 
OR MORE. 
>> MELISSA REPKO 
SAYS ITS GROCERY 
GIVES IT AN 
EDGE. 
>> YOU WANT TO 
DO DELIVERIES TO 
SOMEONE'S DOOR. 
PARTICULARLY 
WITH SOMETHING 
LIKE MILK OR 
EGGS, YOU NEED 
TO BE CLOSE TO 
THEM AND GET 
THEM FAST. 
AND THAT'S WHAT 
WALMART IS 
COUNTING ON. 
>> THE PLUS 
PROGRAM ALSO 
OFFERS A UNIQUE 
TOOL CALLED SCAN 
AND GO. 
SHOPPERS CAN 
RING UP AN ITEM 
ON THEIR PHONE. 
BUT WALMART 
INSISTS IT'S NOT 
TRYING TO EAT 
INTO AMAZON'S 
PROCESS. 
>> WHEN WE 
DESIGNED THIS, 
WE DIDN'T LOOK 
AT IT AS MAKING 
DENTS IN ANYONE 
ELSE'S BUSINESS. 
WHAT WE DID WAS 
TOOK A GOOD LOOK 
AT WHAT OUR 
CUSTOMERS WANT 
AND NEED. 
AND WHAT THEY 
LOOK TO US FOR. 
>> AMAZON PRIME 
HAS BEEN AROUND 
FOR MORE THAN A 
DECADE NOW. 
WHY IS WALMART 
INVESTING NOW IN 
THIS 
SUBSCRIPTION 
SERVICES? 
IS IT JUST 
BECAUSE OF THE 
PANDEMIC AND 
PEOPLE WON'T BE 
INSIDE THEIR 
STORES AS MUCH? 
>> WELL, LOOK 
THE PANDEMIC IS 
PRELUDE TO 
SOMETHING ELSE 
NOW. 
CONSUMER DEMAND 
FOR ONLINE 
DELIVERY IS 
SKYROCKETING, 
ESPECIALLY FOR 
FOOD DELIVERIES. 
WALMART SAW ITS 
ONLINE SALES 
DOUBLE LAST 
QUARTER. 
THE QUESTION 
BECOMES, THERE'S 
NO VIDEO 
STREAMING 
SERVICE LIKE YOU 
WOULD SEE WITH 
AMAZON PRIME. 
THERE'S OTHER 
THINGS YOU'LL BE 
GETTING, THOUGH, 
LIKE UP TO 5 
CENTS PER GALLON 
OFF FOR WALMART 
PLUS CUSTOMERS. 
THAT 
THEY SAY IT'S AN 
EVOLVING 
PROGRAM. 
>> A LOT OF 
PEOPLE ARE GOING 
TO WANT TO USE 
THAT. 
THANK YOU SO 
MUCH. 
>>> I BELIEVE 
THAT BY THE TIME 
WE GET TO THE 
END OF THIS 
CALENDAR YEAR, 
THAT WE WILL 
FEEL COMFORTABLE 
THAT WE HAVE A 
SAFE AND 
EFFECTIVE 
VACCINEFUL. 
>> DR. ANTHONY 
FAUCI IS 
POSITIVE A COVID-
19 VACCINE IS ON 
THE WAY. 
SPEAKING TO THE 
POSSIBILITY OF 
GETTING ONE TO 
THE PUBLIC MORE 
QUICKLY BY USE 
OF AN EMERGENCY 
USE 
AUTHORIZATION. 
>> I WOULD NOT 
BE COMFORTABLE 
WITH A VACCINE 
UNLESS IT WAS 
SHOWN IN A 
CLINICAL TRIAL 
CLEARLY TO BE 
SAFE AND 
EFFECTIVE. 
I'VE BEEN 
THROUGH A NUMBER 
OF VACCINE 
TRIALS IN WHICH 
EUAs HAVE 
ULTIMATELY BEEN 
DONE. 
BUT THERE WERE 
DONE WHEN THERE 
WAS ENOUGH DATA 
THAT YOU WOULD 
REALLY FEEL 
COMFORTABLE THAT 
IT WAS SAFE AND 
EFFECTIVE FOR 
THE AMERICAN 
PUBLIC. 
>> AND AS COVID 
CASES SPIKE ON 
MANY COLLEGE 
CAMPUSES, 
SCHOOLS ARE 
STRUGGLING WITH 
WHAT TO DO WITH 
INFECTED 
STUDENTS. 
>> SO THE CAMP 
US IS SHUT DOWN 
AND KIDS GO 
HOME. 
>> IT'S THE 
WORST THING YOU 
CAN DO. 
KEEP THEM AT A 
UNIVERSITY IN A 
PLACE THAT IS 
SEQUESTERED 
ENOUGH FROM THE 
OTHER STUDENTS. 
BUT DON'T HAVE 
THEM GO HOME 
BECAUSE THEY 
COULD BE 
SPREADING IT IN 
THEIR HOME 
STATE. 
>> LABOR DAY CAN 
COMING UP. 
WE'VE SEEN 
INCREASES AFTER 
PAST HOLIDAY 
WEEKENDS. 
ARE YOU 
CONCERNED ABOUT 
THAT AS WE HEAD 
INTO THIS 
HOLIDAY WEEKEND? 
>> WHEN YOU HAVE 
A HOLIDAY, LIKE 
LABOR DAY, WE 
HAVE SEEN, AFTER 
THE 4th OF JULY. 
WE SAW AFTER 
MEMORIAL DAY, A 
SURGE IN CASES. 
WEAR A MASK. 
KEEP SOCIAL 
DISTANCING. 
AVOID CROWDS. 
YOU CAN AVOID 
THOSE KIND OF 
SURGES. 
YOU DON'T WANT 
TO BE SOMEONE 
WHO IS 
PROPAGATING THE 
OUTBREAK. 
YOU WANT TO BE 
PART OF THE 
SOLUTION. 
NOT PART OF THE 
PROBLEM. 
>> CAN WE GET 
SOME CONTROL OF 
THIS AS WE LOOK 
AHEAD TO FLU 
SEASON? 
AND ARE YOU 
CONCERNED ABOUT 
A TWINDEMIC AS 
THEY SAY. 
>> YOU KNOW, I 
AM. 
AND WHAT I WOULD 
REALLY LIKE TO 
SEE IS A FULL 
COURT PRESS TO 
GET US WAY DOWN 
AT THE BASELINE, 
SO THAT WHEN YOU 
GET THESE CASES 
IN THE FALL, 
THEY WON'T SURGE 
UP. 
THEY'LL BE 
CONTROLLABLE. 
>> BOTTOM LINE, 
HE SAYS, UNTIL 
WE GET A VACCINE 
THAT IS 
AVAILABLE FOR 
EVERYONE, WE 
CAN'T STRESS 
THIS ENOUGH. 
WE REALLY HAVE 
TO BE CAREFUL. 
AND THIS LABOR 
DAY WEEKEND IS 
CRITICAL IF WE 
WANT TO TURN 
THINGS AROUND. 
>>> WE TRAVEL TO 
THE FAR REACHES 
OF THE WORLD. 
>> WHAT WAS YOUR 
SECRET? 
>> WE TRACK DOWN 
THE LONGEST 
LIVED PIECES ON 
EARTH. 
EXOTIC PLACES. 
SARDINIA. 
COSTA RICA. 
WHICH HE DUBBED 
FLU ZONE. 
BECAUSE THE 
PEOPLE THERE 
LIVE AS MUCH AS 
10 YEARS LONGER 
THAN THE REST OF 
US. 
>> IT'S SHARP 
UNTIL THE VERY 
END. 
>> WHAT CAN THEY 
TEACH US ABOUT 
SURVIVING? 
PERHAPS EVEN 
THRIVING IN 
THESE DIFFICULT 
TIMES? 
>> EVERY 
LONGEVITY 
CULTURE IN THE 
WORLD SUFFERED 
PERIODS OF 
HARDSHIP. 
THEY WENT TO 
WARS. 
THEY WENT TO 
FAMILIES. 
THE SAME 
STRESSES THAT 
WE'RE SUFFERING 
RIGHT NOW. 
AND THAT'S A 
LESSON FOR ALL 
OF US. 
DAN, WE HAVE 
BEEN ALL OVER 
THE WORLD 
TOGETHER. 
AND NOW WE ARE 
IN OUR BACKYARD. 
>> HAVE YOU TO 
TRAVEL AROUND 
THE WORLD TO 
DISCOVER A HOME. 
AND I GUESS 
WE'VE DONE IT. 
>> INITIALLY, I 
THINK MOST 
PEOPLE CLOSED 
THE DOORS, 
CLOSED THE 
WINDOWS AND 
SAID, OKAY. 
IT'S JUST ME AND 
WHOEVER LIVES 
WITH ME. 
IS THAT 
SUSTAINABLE? 
IS THAT HEALTHY? 
>> NO. 
WE KNOW THAT 
LONELINESS IS AS 
BAD FOR YOU AS 
SMOKING. 
SO IF YOU'RE 
CHRONICALLY 
LONELY, WHICH IS 
TO STAY, YOU 
DON'T HAVE AT 
LEAST TWO 
FRIENDS YOU CAN 
COUNT ON A BAD 
DAY, IT SHAVES 
ABOUT EIGHT 
YEARS OFF OF 
YOUR LIFE 
EXPECTANCY. 
>> THAT'S WHERE 
PEOPLE LIVING IN 
THE BLUE ZONE 
COME IN. 
OVER THE YEARS, 
DAN HAS TAKEN ON 
THE JOURNEY TO 
UNLOCK THEIR 
SECRETS. 
NOW HE SAYS, 
WHAT THEY TAUGHT 
HIM IS MORE 
IMPORTANT THAN 
EVER. 
>> ONE OF MY 
FAVORITE 
MEMORIES OF OUR 
EXPERIENCE IN 
TARGINNUOUS IS 
WALKING IN THIS 
SMALL LITTLE 
SARBEGINNIAN 
HOUSE. 
WITH WOMEN WHO 
WERE 22 TO 84 
BAKING BREAD 
TOGETHER. 
AND YOU WERE 
STRESSED FLYING 
ACROSS THE 
ATLANTIC UPON. 
AND I COULD SEE 
YOU EXUDING 
STRESS. 
AND WITHIN 
WITHIN FIVE 
MINUTES OF 
BECOME 
BEING WITH THOSE 
WOMEN, THE 
STRESS 
DISSEMINATE AT 
YOUR FEET. 
YOU SAW WOMEN 
SHARING HEARTS 
FULL AND JOY. 
I DON'T KNOW IF 
YOU REMEMBER THE 
WOMAN WITH ARMS 
LIKE POPEYE, 
KNEADING THE 
BREAD. 
>> AND EVEN IN 
THE AGE OF 
SOCIAL 
DISTANCING, DAN 
SAYS IT'S STILL 
POSSIBLE TO 
MAINTAIN THOSE 
CONNECTIONS. 
>> EVEN PEOPLE 
CONNECTING LIKE 
WE ARE RIGHT 
NOW, CYNTHIA, ON 
ZOOM, HAVING 
MEANINGFUL 
CONVERSATIONS 
CAN ACTUALLY 
REPLACE A FACE-
TO-FACE 
CONVERSATION. 
>> IN THE BLUE 
ZONES. 
PEOPLE DON'T 
TAKE THEIR 
ELDERS AND PUT 
THEM ALTOGETHER 
IN A NURSING 
HOME. 
THAT'S JUST NOT 
HOW IT WORKS. 
>> THEY'RE A 
CONTRIBUTING 
MEMBER OF THE 
FAMILY. 
WHEN THEY'RE 
LIVING AT HOME 
WITH YOU, YOU 
CAN BETTER 
PROTECT THEM. 
>> I REMEMBER 
DISTINCTLY BEING 
WITH YOU AND 
SEEING THE OLD 
COUPLE IN 
SARGINNIA. 
I MEAN ISSUE 
THEY WERE WELL 
INTO THEIR LATE 
80s. 
AND THERE THEY 
WERE IN THEIR 
GARDEN. 
>> THAT'S RIGHT. 
>> AND 
INTERVIEWING 
MORE THAN 350 
CENTARRIANS IN 
ALL FIVE BLUE 
ZONES, ONE 
ACTIVITY THEY 
ALL HAVE IN 
COMMON IS THE 
GARDEN. 
IT'S ARGUABLY 
ONE OF THE BEST 
ACTIVITIES WE 
CAN DO. 
IT PROVIDES AN 
ONGOING NUDGE 
FOR US TO WATER, 
WEED, HARVEST. 
IT'S LOW 
INTENSITY 
PHYSICAL 
ACTIVITY. 
AND YOU EMERGE 
WITH VEGETABLES 
YOU'RE GOING TO 
EAT BECAUSE YOU 
PLANTED THEM. 
>> DAN SAYS SOME 
OF THE 
INGREDIENTS FOR 
A LONG AND 
HEALTHY LIFE ARE 
IN THE KITCHEN, 
WHICH IS WHY HE 
WROTE, BLUE ZONE 
KITCHEN. 
>> HOW MUCH RED 
ONION DID YOU 
PUT IN THERE? 
>> PUTTING DOWN 
THE RECIPES OF 
THE WORLD'S 
OLDEST PEOPLE, 
HAVE EATEN FOR 
CENTURIES. 
>> OKAY. 
SO LOOK AT THIS. 
MY BOOK. 
>> THAT TOOK ME 
TWO YEARS. 
WE CAPTURED THE 
DIET BEFORE IT 
DISAPPEARED. 
>> THIS IS THE 
MEAL THAT WAS 
THE LONGEST IN 
FAMILY HISTORY. 
EVERY SINGLE DAY 
OF THEIR LIFE. 
>> THIS SMELLS 
GOOD. 
>> I'VE MADE THE 
MINESTRONE, JUST 
LIKE WE DID IN 
SARGINNIA. 
>> LOTS OF 
VEGETABLES AND 
LOTS OF BEANS. 
YOU SAY THE BLUE 
ZONES TELL US WE 
HAVE TO EAT 
BEANS. 
>> I AM THE SELF-
APPOINTED BEAN 
KING. 
AND I CAN TELL 
YOU, IN EVERY 
CORNERSTONE OF 
LONGEVITY DIET 
IT IS BEANS. 
ABOUT A CUP A 
DAY. 
IT ADDS 
LONGEVITY. 
>> DAN TAKES ME 
SPOHIS KITCHEN 
FOR A VIRTUAL 
COOKING LESSON. 
>> TOMATOES FROM 
MY FATHER 
ROGER'S GARDEN. 
ONE-HALF OF A 
RED ONION. 
AND I HAVE FRESH 
BASIL. 
>> I'M A BIG 
BELIEVER, WHERE 
THERE'S 
HARDSHIP, NOT 
OPPORTUNITY. 
IT DOES GIVE US 
THE OPPORTUNITY 
TO RELEARN THE 
ART OF HOME 
COOKING. 
>> BEAUTIFUL. 
>> THAT'S A 
PRETTY GOOD 
SALES PITCH TO 
BE HEALTHIER AND 
LIVE TO 100. 
EAT THIS WAY. 
AND EAT 
DELICIOUSLY. 
>> AND THAT WAS 
DINNER. 
SORRY I DIDN'T 
SAVE YOU ANY. 
A COUPLE OF 
OTHER THINGS, 
DAN SAYS, IF YOU 
KNOW YOUR 
PURPOSE AND LIVE 
IT OUT, THAT 
ADDS SEVEN YEARS 
TO YOUR LIFE. 
EXERCISE IN THE 
BLUE ZONES. 
YOU DON'T NEED A 
GYM, YOU JUST 
NEED TO MOVE 
NATURALLY. 
WALK UP AND DOWN 
HILLS. 
DO HOUSE WORK. 
WORK IN THE 
GARDEN. 
BLUE ZONE FOLKS 
EAT UNTIL 
THEY'RE 80% 
FULL. 
THAT'S HARD TO 
DO. 
BUT IT MAKES A 
DIFFERENCE. 
DAN SAYS SINCE 
HE STARTED 
EATING IN THE 
BLUE ZONE WAYS, 
HE LOST 20 
POUNDS. 
AND FINALLY, 
MAYBE THIS EARLY 
IN THE MORNING. 
WINE. 
WINE IN 
SARDINIA. 
ADDS TO THE 
LIFESTYLE. 
AND SALUT. 
>> SALUT. 
>> LET ME ASK 
YOU ONE OTHER 
QUICK QUESTION. 
WHAT ABOUT 
PEOPLE WHO HAVE 
DOGS? 
LIKE IF YOU HAVE 
A PET? 
DOES THAT EXTEND 
YOUR LIFE, TOO? 
>> IT DOES. 
DAN SAYS HAVING 
A DOG NOT ONLY 
WHEN YOU PAT THE 
DOG DOES IT MAKE 
YOUR HEART RATE 
GO DOWN. 
BUT YOU GOTTA 
WALK THE DOG. 
AND YOU KNOW, IT 
REALLY MAKES A 
DIFFERENCE. 
HE SAYS HAVING A 
DOG. 
I DON'T KNOW, 
HAVING A DOG 
REALLY MAKES A 
DIFFERENCE. 
SO EMPTY THOSE 
KENNELS. 
>> ALL RIGHT. 
THANK YOU, 
CYNTHIA. 
>> WE'VE GOT THE 
FORMULA, RIGHT? 
>> I HAVE NO 
PET. 
AND I OFTEN EAT. 
I MAY BE IN 
TROUBLE. 
>>> AMONG THE 
CHAOS. I 
FOUND A FATHER 
TRYING TO TEACH 
HIS SON ABOUT 
PEACE. 
>> WE DON'T HAVE 
TO RETALIATE 
WITH ANGER. 
WE RETALIATE 
WITH LOVE. 
THAT'S WHY WE'RE 
DOWN HERE. 
THERE'S ALWAYS 
ANOTHER WAY. 
THAT'S ALL I 
WANT HIM TO SEE. 
>>> THIS IS A 
SITUATION WHERE 
THE STATE 
CONTINUES TO 
STRUGGLE TO 
EXPAND ITS 
TESTING 
CAPABILITY. 
>> PROTESTORS 
FEEL THAT THEY 
NEED TO COME OUT 
IN FULL FORCE 
AND SUPPORT THE 
COMMUNITY. 
BECAUSE THEY 
FEEL LIKE 
THEY'RE NOT 
GETTING THAT 
SUPPORT FROM THE 
PORTLAND POLICE. 
>>> ANOTHER 
ELECTION DAY 
COMING UP 
AGAINST THE 
BACKDROP OF HOW 
TO KEEP VOTERS 
SAFE, AMID A 
PANDEMIC. 
>> THE MOMENT TO 
TRULY UNDERSTAND 
WHO WE ARE AND 
WHO WE SAY WE 
ARE IS RIGHT 
HERE AT OUR 
FEET. 
>>> YOU GOTTA 
GET A FOUR-YEAR 
DEGREE. 
BUT A FOUR-YEAR 
DEGREE IS SUPER 
EXPENSIVE. 
>> WE HAVE 
CREATED A 
SYSTEM, WHERE 
THE TICKET TO 
THE MIDDLE CLASS 
IS A THING THAT 
MIDDLE CLASS 
FAMILIES HAVE TO 
STRESS ABOUT AND 
BORROW FOR AND 
PATCH TOGETHER.

SPARKED BY THE 
POLICE SHOOTING 
OF JACOB BLAKE. 
>> AND WE'RE 
GOING TO HELP 
THEM A LOT. 
>> DESPITE PLEAS 
FROM LOCAL 
OFFICIALS THAT 
HE STAY AWAY, 
THE PRESIDENT 
USED THE VISIT 
TO PRESS HIS 
HARD-LINE LAW 
AND ORDER 
CAMPAIGN 
MESSAGE. 
>> WE HAVE TO 
CONDEMN THE 
DANGEROUS ANTI-
POLICE RHETORIC. 
IT'S GETTING 
MORE AND MORE. 
IT'S VERY 
UNFAIR. 
YOU HAVE SOME 
BAD APPLES. 
I SAID IT LAST

THEY'RE UNDER 
TREMENDOUS 
PRESSURE. 
>> HE'S

IT'S UNDER 
INVESTIGATION.

TIMES. 
>> IF YOU COULD 
SPEAK TO THE 
PRESIDENT, WHAT 
WOULD YOU TELL 
HIM? 
>> IT'S TOO 
LATE, BRO. 
HE'S HAD FOUR 
YEARS IN THAT 
OFFICE. 
HE'S DONE 
NOTHING BUT SPEW 
HATE OUT OF HIS 
MOUTH THAT BLED 
DOWN TO POLICE 
FORCES 
BRUTALIZING 
BLACK PEOPLE. 
>> PRESIDENT 
TRUMP SAYS HE 
SPOKE WITH A 
BLAKE FAMILY 
PASTOR. 
BUT WOULD NOT 
MEET WITH THEM. 
BECAUSE THE 
PRESIDENT SAID 
THEY WANTED A 
LAWYER PRESENT. 
TIMOTHY THOMP 
KIN, A MARINE 
CORPS VETERAN, 
LIVES DOWN THE

>> WHY DO YOU 
THINK THE 
PRESIDENT CAME. 
>> BECAUSE HE'S 
DIVISIVE.

KENOSHA IS 
STRONG WITHOUT

WHEN OR IF 
POLICE REFORM 
WILL COME TO 
WISCONSIN. 
REPUBLICAN 
LAWMAKERS 
CONVENED A 
SPECIAL SESSION 
AT THE 
GOVERNOR'S

IT LASTED LESS

POLICING. 
PRESIDENT TRUMP 
HAS OFTEN REPEAT 
OF THE SAME 
CLAIMS. 
>> THE TOP 10 
MOST DANGEROUS 
CITIES IN 
AMERICA ARE RUN 
BY DEMOCRATS.

THE SIGNIFICANT 
INCREASES. 
>> CRIME EXPERTS 
SAY THE PANDEMIC 
AND ECONOMIC 
FALLOUT ARE BIG 
FACTORS IN 
DRIVING THE 
MURDER RATE 
HIGHER. 
ROUGHLY 70% OF 
AMERICA'S 100 
BIGGEST CITIES

DEMOCRATS. 
THE REST BY 
REPUBLICANS OR 
OTHERS. 
FORMER CIA 
OFFICER JEFF 
ASHER NOW 
ANALYZES CRIME

>> THE PRESIDENT 
CLAIMS THIS IS 
PRETTY MUCH ONLY 
A PROBLEM IN 
DEMOCRATIC 
CITIES. 
IS THAT 
ACCURATE? 
>> THE DATA WE 
HAVE NOW IS NOT 
ACCURATE. 
WE'RE SEEING 
ABOUT A 25%

>>> IN CHINA, 
THE ORIGINAL 
EPICENTER OF THE 
CORONAVIRUS, 1.4 
MILLION CHILDREN 
WENT BACK TO 
SCHOOL TODAY. 
IN MASKS. 
PASSING THROUGH 
INFRARED 
SCANNERS TO 
CHECK THEIR BODY 
TEMPERATURE. 
THE CITY, 
RAMPING UP 
TESTING CAPACITY 
IN CASE OF A 
SPIKE. 
IN MAY, 
OFFICIALS TESTED 
THIS ENTIRE CITY 
OF 11 MILLION IN 
JUST THREE 
WEEKS. 
IN FRANCE, 
PRESIDENT 
EMMANUEL MACRON 
TOOK TO 
INSTAGRAM TO 
WARN CHILDREN 
THE VIRUS IS 
STILL OUT THERE 
AND TO TAKE 
PRECAUTIONS. 
CHILDREN, 11 AND 
UP, AND TEACHERS 
AND STAFF, ALSO 
REQUIRED TO WEAR 
MASKS IN THE 
CLASSROOMS. 
IN THE UNITED

NEGATIVE IMPACT 
ON TEACHING.

YOUR FINGERS.

ALWAYS GOING TO 
BE THAT WORRY. 
BUT THEN LIFE 
HAS TO GO ON. 
SO WE'RE BACK 
HERE TOGETHER. 
>> Reporter: 
MASKS ARE 
RECOMMENDED IN 
HALLWAYS AND 
COMMUNAL AREAS, 
AND BRITISH 
CHILDREN ARE 
DIVIDED INTO 
WHAT ARE CALLED 
BUBBLES, WHERE 
THEY CAN 
INTERACT FREELY. 
IF A STUDENT 
TESTS POSITIVE, 
THE WHOLE BUBBLE 
GOES INTO 
QUARANTINE. 
PRIME MINISTER 
BORIS JOHNSON, 
WHO HAD COVID, 
HAS BEEN SAYING, 
MISSING SCHOOL 
OUTWEIGHS THE 
COVID RISK. 
>> DO YOU THINK 
SCHOOL IS SAFE? 
>> YEAH. 
>> DEFINITELY 
IS. 
>> MANY 
DIFFERENT 
APPROACHES. 
NO PERFECT 
ANSWERS. 
IN AFRICA, MOST 
SCHOOLS REMAIN 
CLOSED. 
IN GERMANY, 
SCHOOLS REOPENED 
LAST MONTH. 
BUT SEVERAL HAVE 
HAD TO SHUT 
BECAUSE OF 
OUTBREAKS. 
>>> THE FINAL 
ROUND OF 
TESTING, KNOWN 
AS PHASE 3 
CLINICAL TRIALS, 
UNDER WAY 
TONIGHT, ARE 
SHOWING EARLY 
SIGNS OF PROMISE 
IN WHAT COULD 
BECOME THE 
WORLD'S FIRST 
CORONAVIRUS 
VACCINE. 
AT TESTING SITES 
ACROSS THE 
COUNTRY, 
PARTICIPANTS 
WILL BE GIVEN 
TWO SHOTS. 
ONE MONTH APART. 
23-YEAR-OLD 
JACOB SORANO IS 
THE FIRST 
AMERICAN TO BE 
DOSED WITH 
EITHER THE 
VACCINE 
CANDIDATE OR A 
PLACEBO. 
>> I'M HOPING 
THAT THEY CAN BE 
100%. 
I AM HOPING THIS 
COULD REALLY 
JUST END IT ALL. 
>> RESEARCHERS 
AT OXFORD, 
PARTNERING WITH 
ASTRAZENECCA, 
SAY THE VACCINE, 
A GENETICALLY-
ALTERED VIRUS, 
TEACHES THE 
IMMUNE SYSTEM. 
WITH SOME 30,000 
ADULT 
VOLUNTEERS, SET 
TO TAKE PLACE IN 
THE TRIALS. 
THE FDA SAYS THE 
VACCINE NEEDS TO 
PROTECT 50,000 
PEOPLE TO BE 
CONSIDERED 
EFFECTIVE. 
IT COULD BE 
DISTRIBUTED IN 
PHASES, WITH 
HEALTHCARE 
WORKERS AND THE 
VULNERABLE, LIKE 
THOSE WITH 
UNDERLYING 
HEALTH 
CONDITIONS, 
GETTING IT 
FIRST. 
>> SO THIS ONE 
IS ONE OF THE 
ONES THAT IS 
LEADING THE 
RACE. 
AND ONE OF THE 
ONES THAT LOOKS 
PROMISING TO GET 
AT THAT VACCINE 
AS SOON AS 
POSSIBLE.

DEATH TOLL IS

FOR JACOB 
SORANO. 
IT'S PERSONAL. 
HE'S LOST SEVEN 
FAMILY MEMBERS 
TO COVID. 
>> DO YOU THINK 
THAT WHAT YOU'RE 
DOING NOW COULD 
PREVENT FUTURE 
FATALITIES. 
>> THAT'S THE 
MAIN REASON I'M 
DOING ANY OF 
THIS IS I WANT 
TO PREVENT THAT. 
I DON'T BELIEVE 
ANYONE DESERVES 
TO LIVE THEIR 
LIFE, ESPECIALLY 
THROUGH A VIRUS 
THAT WE COULD

DURING SCREEN 
TIME. 
THEY BUILD UP. 
>> YEAH. 
>> HALEY IS UP 
TO LIKE AN HOUR 
AND SO A DAY. 
SO I THINK IT'S 
A COOL WAY TO DO 
IT. 
WHAT ABOUT 
REMOTE LEARNING 
IN TERMS OF 
LAPTOP? 
>> LAPTOPS, $500 
AND UNDER. 
MAJOR SHORTAGE 
RIGHT NOW FOR 
PARENTS. 
IT'S REALLY 
TOUGH. 
BUT GOOD NEWS. 
THIS IS LABOR 
DAY WEEKEND. 
SO MAJOR DEALS 
HAPPENING RIGHT 
NOW. 
H.P. 
AND DELL, HAVING 
SALES THIS 
WEEKEND. 
CHECK OUT THE 
ADS NOW SO YOU 
CAN STRATEGIZE 
ON HOW TO GET 
THEM. 
LENOVO IS DOING 
A BUNDLE. 
LIKE $300 FOR A 
SMART TAB AND 
CLOCK. 
AND THIS IS THE 
TIME APPLE 
TYPICALLY HAS 
THEIR DEALS AND 
TABLETS. 
AND ASK FOR 
EDUCATION 
PRICING. 
>> BUT THEY 
CAN'T SHARE 
THEM. 
I HAVE THREE 
KIDS, I HAVE TO 
BUY THREE 
DIFFERENT CHROME 
BOOKS? 
>> THAT IS THE 
CHALLENGE. 
>>> SOME SCHOOLS 
ARE GOING 
OUTDOOR. 
SO YOU WANT YOUR 
KID TO BE READY, 
IF YOU HAVE TO 
BE READY FOR 
THAT. 
WHAT DO THEY 
NEED TO KNOW? 
>> WE NEED TO 
PREPARE FOR 
WATER. 
AND DON'T 
FORGET, IF YOU 
LIVE IN A PLACE 
WHERE BUGS ARE 
AN ISSUE. 
THE OTHER THING 
IS SOME PARENTS 
ARE ACTUALLY 
ASKED TO BRING 
KIDS IN HERE. 
LIKE DISPOSABLE 
CHAIRS AND 
CLIPBOARDS. 
IT'S A VERY 
McGYVER TYPE. 
>> WILD TIMES OF 
BUG REPELLENT. 
>> RIGHT? 
>> WHAT ABOUT AT 
HOME. 
CARSON WAS 
TALKING ABOUT 
CREATING THAT 
LEARNING SPACE 
FOR THEIR KID. 
HOW DOES THAT 
LOOK. 
>> OR TO ADD TO 
THAT, THEY'RE IN 
A HYBRID 
SITUATION. 
WHICH WE ARE. 
THERE'S A HOME 
LEARNING AREA. 
AND THEN THERE 
WILL BE A SCHOOL 
LEARNING AREA. 
>> THIS IS SO 
IMPORTANT. 
IT DOESN'T HAVE 
TO BE BIG. 
BUT YOU DO WANT 
TO DESIGNATE A 
SPACE FOR YOUR 
CHILD TO SIT IN 
THAT IS QUIET, 
AWAY FROM 
DISTRACTIONS. 
IT CAN'T BE 
RIGHT NEXT TO 
THAT. 
>> THE BATHROOM 
WOULD BE FINE. 
THE SINK COUNT 
IS BIG ENOUGH TO 
WRITE ON, RIGHT? 
THERE ARE THESE 
FOAM TABLETS. 
A LOT OF TIMESES 
YOU'RE TRYING TO 
LOOK AT THE 
TEACHER AND DO 
SOMETHING AT THE 
SAME TIME. 
YOU CAN FIND 
EXTRA SUPPLIES 
ON TYPICAL 
WEBSITES LIKE 
WAYFAIR, TARGET, 
IKEA. 
DESKS AND CHAIRS 
FOR KIDS RIGHT 
NOW. 
THERE'S A BIG 
RUN ON THOSE. 
IF YOU NEED ONE, 
START SHOPPING 
EARLY. 
>> AND A LOT OF 
PEOPLE, THEY 
AREN'T DOING 
EVERYTHING. 
LIKE MUSIC AND 
SPORTS. 
IT'S IMPORTANT 
TO KNOW WHAT 
YOUR CHILD IS 
DOING FROM 3:30 
UNTIL BEDTIME. 
WORK SOME OF 
THOSE THINGS IN. 
>> IT'S HELPFUL 
TO HAVE A 
SCHEDULE. 
BUT DON'T BEAT 
YOURSELF UP. 
>> IF YOU'RE 
HOME LEARNING. 
WHAT I LIKE TO 
DO IS MAKE SURE 
THAT I HAVE ROOM 
BEHIND THEM. 
SO THAT AS A 
PARENT AND A 
DAD, I CAN COME 
IN AND EMBARRASS 
MY KID A LITTLE. 
>> ON THE ZOOM. 
>> YES. 
OH. 
THE LOOK ON 
THEIR FACE. 
[ LAUGHTER ] 
>> THEY HAVE NO 
IDEA. 
I DO TIKTOK 
DANCING AND 
EVERYTHING. 
IT'S A HIT, 
THOUGH. 
THEY'RE LIKE, IS 
THAT THE GUY 
FROM THE VOICE? 
>> GOOD TO SEE 
YOU. 
WE'LL SEE YOU 
AGAIN IN THE 
THIRD HOUR. 
>>> FOR MORE ON 
WHERE WE STAND 
WITH THE 
VACCINE, PLUS 
HOW TO STAY SAFE 
DURING ARE 
INDOOR 
ACTIVITIES, WE 
HAVE DR. JOHN 
TORRES AND DR. 
NATALIE AZAR. 
GOOD MORNING TO 
BOTH OF YOU. 
DR. TORRES, LET 
ME START WITH 
YOU AND DIG IN. 
WHERE CODEE 
STAND WITH A 
VACCINE? 
AND HOW DOES A 
TIMELINE LOOK 
FOR APPROVAL. 
>> RIGHT NOW, 
THERE ARE THREE 
MAJOR COMPANIES 
THAT HAVE GONE 
INTO PHASE 3 
HERE IN THE U.S. 
MODERNA, PFIZER 
AND THE 
ASTRAZENECCA 
VACCINE. 
THEY'RE GOING TO 
GIVE PEOPLE 
EITHER A VACCINE 
OR PLACEBO. 
AND THEN THEY'LL 
FOLLOW EACH 
OTHER. 
IF THEY GET THE 
VIRUS, IF THEY 
END UP HAVING 
LESS 
COMPLICATIONS, 
WHICH IS WHAT 
THEY'RE LOOKING 
FOR, TO FIND OUT 
ABOUT THAT 
SAFETY AND 
EFFICACY, THE 
EFFECTIVENESS OF 
THE VACCINE. 
THIS IS GOING TO 
TAKE A WHILE 
THIS. 
IS GOING TO TAKE 
A FEW MONTHS. 
SO WHEN YOU HEAR 
THAT WE MIGHT 
HAVE THE VACCINE 
FOR THE ELECTION 
OR END OF THE 
YEAR. 
A LOT OF EXPERTS 
I TALKED TO SAY 
MAYBE LATE 
WINTER, EARLY 
SPRING. 
ALTHOUGH THEY 
MIGHT GET 
EMERGENCY 
AUTHORIZATION 
THAT DR. FAUCI 
WAS TALKING 
ABOUT FOR SOME 
POPULATIONS. 
>> ON THAT NOTE, 
ONCE VACCINE IS 
APPROVED, 
DISTRIBUTION 
WILL BE THE KEY 
OBSTACLE. 
HOW WILL 
LAWMAKERS DECIDE 
WHO GET ITS 
FIRST? 
>> AND 
DISTRIBUTION 
WILL BE THE BIG 
KEY HERE AND THE 
NATIONAL ACADEMY 
OF SCIENCES JUST 
CAME OUT WITH A 
RECOMMENDATION. 
LOOKING AT WHAT 
THEY CALL FOUR 
PHASES OF 
DISTRIBUTION. 
AND HOPEFULLY 
THEY ARE 
FOLLOWED. 
BUT THE CDC, 
OPERATION WARP 
SPEED HAS BEEN 
INVOLVED. 
YOU CAN SEE 
RIGHT THERE. 
ESSENTIALLY, 
WHAT IT BREAK 
DOWN TO, THE 
FIRST PHASE 
GOING TO BE 
HEALTHCARE 
WORKERS IN A 
FRONT LINE, WHO 
CAN'T GET AWAY 
FROM COVID 
PATIENTS. 
THEY HAVE TO BE 
THERE. 
THIS IS GOING TO 
BE SOMEONE WITH 
PREEXISTING 
MEDICAL 
CONDITIONS AND 
THE ELDERLY, WHO 
ARE MORE 
VULNERABLE. 
THEN SWITCH TO 
PHASE 2. THE 
CRITICAL 
WORKERS, 
ESSENTIAL 
WORKERS  WHO 
HAVE TO WORK TO 
KEEP SOCIETY 
MOVING. 
BUT THEY MIGHT 
BE EXPOSED AND 
TAKE THINGS 
HOME. 
AND THEN PHASE 3 
ARE THE 
CHILDREN. 
SOME ADULTS. 
AND PHASE 4 IS 
ESSENTIALLY 
EVERYBODY. 
THE PHASES MEAN 
OBVIOUSLY, WE 
CAN'T GIVE 330 
MILLION 
VACCINATIONS ALL 
AT ONCE. 
SO WE'RE GOING 
TO BREAK THEM 
INTO WHICH GROUP 
GET THEM AT WHAT 
POINT. 
AND HOPEFULLY WE 
CAN GET THEM TO 
THE HERD 
IMMUNITY. 
AND HOPEFULLY WE 
CAN GET IT MORE 
IN CONTROL. 
>> LET ME ASK 
YOU ABOUT A 
WATER COOLER 
QUESTION. 
A LOT OF PEOPLE 
ARE WORRIED THAT 
THIS IS FRANKLY 
MOVING TO FAST. 
SO HERE IS MY 
QUESTION. 
IF A VACCINE IS 
APPROVED LET'S 
SAY TOMORROW, 
WOULD YOU BE 
WILLING TO GET 
IT IN THE FIRST 
WAVE. 
>> AND IT 
DEPENDS ON WHAT 
THE DATA COMES 
OUT WITH. 
THAT'S WHAT DR. 
FAUCI WAS 
TALKING ABOUT. 
LOOKING AT THE 
DAT TO SAY WE 
HAVE ENOUGH 
THROUGH PHASE 3 
SO WE UNDERSTAND 
THE SAFETY AND 
PRIMARILY 
EFFECTIVENESS OF 
IT. 
THAT'S THE 
IMPORTANT THING 
HERE. 
>> DR. TORES, 
THANK YOU FOR 
YOUR TIME THIS 
MORNING. 
>>> AND NOW, 
LET'S BRING IN 
DR. NATALIE 
AZAR. 
GOOD MORNING. 
AND I WANT TO 
START WITH THIS 
INDOOR DINING. 
AND I'M JUST NOW 
STARTING TO FEEL 
KIND OF 
COMFORTABLE WITH 
OUTDOOR DINING. 
BUT NOW, A LOT 
HAVE HAD 
RESTAURANTS, 
OPENING UP 
INDOORS. 
HOW DO THEY KEEP 
IT SAFE? 
WHAT ARE THEIR 
BIGGEST 
CONCERNS? 
>> CERTAINLY THE 
DALTA FROM THIS 
SUMMER HAVE 
SHOWN THAT A LOT 
HAVE HAPPENED IN 
THE SETTING OF 
RESTAURANTS AND 
BARS. 
AND I THINK YOU 
CAN THINK ABOUT 
THE RISK OF 
DINING, AS SORT 
OF A RATED RISK. 
WITH THE LOWEST 
RISK BEING 
TAKEOUT, 
DELIVERY, DRIVE-
THROUGH, CURB 
SIDE. 
AND THE HIGHEST 
RISK, BEING 
ASSOCIATED WITH 
INDOOR AND 
OUTDOOR DINING, 
ON SITE, WHERE 
THEY HAVEN'T 
REDUCED 
CAPACITY. 
AND HAVEN'T BEEN 
ABLE TO SPACE 
PATRONS A GOOD 
SIX FEET APART. 
>> SO IS THAT 
WHAT RESTAURANTS 
NEED TO DO, IF 
THEY SPACE 
PEOPLE SIX FEET 
APART INSIDE? 
DO THEY HAVE TO 
CHANGE THEIR 
WHOLE LIKE HVAC 
SYSTEM WITHIN 
THE BUILDING? 
WHAT MAKE ITS 
POSSIBLE FOR 
FOLKS TO DINE 
INSIDE. 
>> RIGHT. 
SO CDC HAS GREAT 
GUIDANCE ON 
THIS. 
AND I THINK YOU 
CAN SORT OF 
SUBDIVIDE IT. 
INTO TWO 
CATEGORIES. 
ONE CAN BE 
PHYSICAL. 
FOR PHYSICAL. 
YES. 
YOU WANT TO 
REDUCE CAPACITY. 
SO YOU CAN SPACE 
PEOPLE OUT. 
YOU CAN PUT UP 
PLEXIGLAS 
BARRIERS BETWEEN 
THE HOSTESS OR 
EVEN BETWEEN 
DINERS. 
AND ALSO HAVE 
TAPE ON THE 
FLOOR. 
SO YOU CAN TELL 
WHERE YOU'RE 
SUPPOSED TO GO 
AND BE SEATED. 
FOR THE TECH 
STUFF, I'M SURE 
YOU HAVE ALL 
SEEN IT. 
BEFORE. 
THESE VIRTUAL 
MENUS. 
CERTAINLY MY 
KIDS HAVE TO 
HELP WEME WITH 
THAT SOMETIMES. 
BUT INSTEAD OF 
USING BUZZERS TO 
TELL YOU THAT 
YOUR TABLE IS 
READY. 
YOU HAVE AN APP. 
ALL OF THESE 
THINGS THAT 
ENABLE US TO 
AVOID SHARED 
OBJECTS. 
AND SINCE 
GENERALLY USING 
A LOT OF 
DISPOSABLE 
THINGS, UTENSILS 
AND THINGS LIKE 
THAT, AGAIN, 
JUST NOT PASSED 
AROUND AND 
SHARING GERMS 
FROM ONE PERSON 
TO ANOTHER. 
>> LET'S TALK 
ABOUT ANOTHER 
HUGE, INDOOR 
ACTIVITY. 
SCHOOLS. 
NEW YORK CITY 
JUST PUSHED BACK 
THE START OF IN-
PERSON CLASSES. 
THEY'RE ROLLING 
OUT MONTHLY 
RANDOMIZED 
TESTING FOR 
THETEACHERS AND 
STUDENTS. 
SO IS THIS A 
GOOD WAY TO 
TRACK POSITIVE 
CASES? 
HOW SAFE IS IT 
TO TAKE CLASSES 
RIGHT NOW? 
>> JUST GO TO A 
SCHOOL. 
IF WE HAD ALL 
DAY TO TALK 
ABOUT THIS. 
LET'S START WITH 
THE FACT THAT 
PUBLIC HEALTH 
EXPERTS HAVE 
BEEN SAYING, 
LITERALLY FOR 
MONTHS NOW, THAT 
WE WOULD LOVE TO 
BE ABLE TO HAVE 
THESE RAPID 
POINT OF CARE 
TESTS, WHETHER 
IT'S SALIVA, OR 
ANTIGEN TESTING. 
TO BE ABLE TO 
TEST LARGE 
CLASSES OF 
PEOPLE, WHO ARE 
GOING TO BE IN 
CONGREGATE 
SETTINGS. 
WHAT I WOULD SAY 
IS SOME TESTING, 
INTUITIVELY, IS 
BETTER THAN NO 
TESTING AT ALL. 
IS IT GOING TO 
BE ENOUGH? 
I DON'T KNOW. 
AND I THINK TIME 
WILL TELL. 
I DON'T LIKE TO 
SAY THAT WHEN IT 
HAS TO DO WITH 
ILLNESS AND 
PEOPLE'S LIVES. 
BUT TRULY, I 
FEEL LIKE THAT'S 
WHERE WE ARE 
WITH THIS. 
I THINK THAT 
TESTING, IT'S 
IMPORTANT TO 
KEEP IN MIND, 
THAT IT'S ONE 
PART OF SAFETY 
PREVENTION, 
MITIGATION. 
IN ADDITION TO 
ADEQUATE 
VENTILATION, 
SOCIALLY DISTANT 
STEPS. 
MAKING SURE THAT 
STUDENTS AND 
EDUCATORS HAVE 
APPROPRIATE 
MASKS AND PPE. 
ONE OF THE MOST 
IMPORTANT 
THINGS, AND THEY 
HIGHLIGHT THIS 
ALSO IN THE NEW 
YORK CITY 
RELEASE, IS THAT 
IF THERE IS A 
POSITIVE CASE IN 
ONE CLASSROOM, 
THAT WHOLE 
CLASSROOM IS 
QUARANTINED, WE 
CONTRACT TRACE. 
IF THERE IS MORE 
THAN ONE CLASS 
AFFECTED, THE 
WHOLE SCHOOL 
SHUTS DOWN AND 
THE SCHOOL 
REMOVES TO 
REMOTE LEARNING. 
IF THE SEVEN-A 
AVERAGE 
POSTIVITY IN THE 
STATE IS 3% OR 
HIGHER. 
SO THIS IS ONE 
PIECE OF THIS 
VERY MOVING 
PUZZLE ALREADY. 
WE'LL SEE WHAT 
HAPPENS. 
SO MANY FACTORS 
TO TAKE INTO 
CONSIDERATION, 
REGARDING BACK 
TO SCHOOL. 
>> CERTAINLY. 
>> AS PARENTS, 
EDUCATORS. 
>> I KNOW. 
WE ALL COULD 
TALK ABOUT IT 
ALL DAY. 
WE HAVE SO MANY 
CONCERNS. 
BUT DR. NATALIE 
AZAR. 
THANK YOU SO 
MUCH FOR CALMING 
SOME OF THOSE 
CONCERNS. 
WE APPRECIATE 
IT. 
>> THANK YOU. 
>>> THIS 
MORNING, TOP 
U.S. OFFICIALS, 
SOUNDING THE 
ALARM. 
AMERICANS NEED 
TO BE CAREFUL 
THIS LABOR DAY 
WEEKEND, OR RISK 
KICK-STARTING 
THE SURGE IN 
CORONAVIRUS 
CASES IN THE 
FALL. 
>> LABOR DAY IS 
COMING UP. 
AND YOU NEED TO 
STRESS PERSONAL 
RESPONSIBILITY. 
 
RESPONSIBILITY.

HIS WARNING COMING AFTER DR. 
ANTHONY FAUCI REPORTE

>>> HIS WARNING 
AFTER DR. 
ANTHONY FAUCI 
SAID THE HOLIDAY 
WILL DETERMINE 
IF THE U.S. IS 
ABLE TO GET A 
RUNNING START IN 
BATTLING THE 
DISEASE THIS 
FALL. 
CORONAVIRUS 
CASES AND 
HOSPITALIZATIONS 
ARE DOWN 
NATIONWIDE. 
>> Reporter: 
SINCE THEIR PEAK 
IN JULY. 
BUT OFFICIALS 
ARE HOPING TO 
PREVENT ANOTHER 
UPTICK, LIKE THE 
ONE SEEN AFTER 
MEMORIAL DAY, 
WHEN SOCIAL 
DISTANCING 
GUIDELINES WERE 
IGNORED AT POOL 
PARTIES LIKE 
THIS ONE AT THE 
LAKE OF THE 
OZARKS. 
AND AFTER THE 
FOURTH OF JULY, 
WHEN PEOPLE 
FLOCKED TO 
CROWDED BEACHES 
TO ESCAPE THE 
SUMMER HEAT. 
TAPING NEW 
OUTBREAKS IN 
STATES LIKE IOWA 
ARE ALREADY 
RAISING CONCERNS 
ABOUT THE NEXT 
FEW MONTHS. 
THERE THE THREE 
COUNTIES WITH 
THE HIGHEST 
NUMBER OF 
CORONAVIRUS 
CASES HAVE LARGE 
COLLEGE 
POPULATIONS. 
SOME ARE NOW 
CALLING FOR 
ROUTINE RANDOM 
TESTING OF 
STUDENTS AND 
STAFF. 
INCLUDING NEW 
YORK PUBLIC 
SCHOOLS WHERE 
THE START DATE 
OF THIS CLASS 
LEARNING HAS 
BEEN PUSHED 
BACK. 
ALL OF THIS 
COMES AS 
RESEARCHERS FROM 
OXFORD 
UNIVERSITY AND 
ASTRA ZENECA 
BECOME THE 
LATEST TEAM FOR 
A CORONAVIRUS 
VACCINE. 
JACOB SERRANO IS 
THE FIRST 
AMERICAN TO BE 
DOSED WITH 
EITHER THE 
VACCINE OR A 
PLACEBO. 
SEVEN MEMBERS OF 
HIS FAMILY LOST 
THEIR LIVES TO 
THE VIRUS. 
>> DO YOU THINK 
THAT WHAT YOU 
ARE DOING NOW 
COULD PREVENT 
FUTURE 
FATALITIES? 
>> I DON'T 
BELIEVE ANYONE 
DID I SERVES TO 
LIVE THEIR LIFE 
WITH A VIRUS 
THAT WE COULD 
HAVE STOPPED. 
>> Reporter: 
THIS MORNING A 
GLIMMER OF HOPE 
AFTER SO MUCH 
HEART BREAK 
AROUND THE 
WORLD. 
>> ALTHOUGH THIS 
POSSIBLE VACCINE 
WOULDN'T BE 
AVAILABLE IN 
TIME FOR THE 
FALL, 
RESEARCHERS HOPE 
TO KNOW HOW 
EFFECTIVE IT IS 
BY THANKSGIVING. 
IF IT COULD BE 
DISTRIBUTED IN 
FOUR DIFFERENT 
PHASES WITH 
HEALTHCARE 
WORKERS AND THE 
VULNERABLE 
GETTING IT 
FIRST. 
>> MIGUEL, A LOT 
OF PEOPLE ARE 
OUT OF WORK, A 
LOT OF PEOPLE 
FACING 
EVICTIONS. 
YOU HAVE SOME 
NEWS ON MAYBE A 
REPRIEVE FOR 
THEM? 
>> THAT'S RIGHT. 
THE CDC IS 
ORDERING A HALT 
ONEE VISIONS 
NATIONWIDE 
THROUGH DECEMBER 
FOR PEOPLE WHO 
HAVE LOST WORK 
DURING THE 
PANDEMIC AND 
DON'T HAVE OTHER 
GOOD HOUSING 
OPTIONS. 
THE GOAL IS TO 
STEM THE SPREAD 
OF THE OUTBREAK, 
WHICH IS AGENCY, 
IN ITS ORDER, 
SAYS PRESENTS A 
HISTORIC THREAT 
TO PUBLIC 
HEALTH. 
>> MIGUEL, THANK 
YOU. 
>> I BELIEVE 
THAT BY THE TIME 
WE GET TO THE 
END OF THIS 
CALENDAR YEAR, 
WE WILL FEEL 
COMFORTABLE THAT 
WE DO HAVE A 
SAFE AND 
EFFECTIVE 
VACCINE. 
>> Reporter: DR. 
ANTHONY FAUCI IS 
POSITIVE A COVID-
19 VACCINE IS ON 
THE WAY. 
SPEAKING ABOUT 
THE POSSIBILITY 
OF GETTING ONE 
TO THE PUBLIC 
MORE QUICKLY BY 
WAY OF AN 
EMERGENCY USE 
AUTHORIZATION. 
>> I WOULD NOT 
BE COMFORTABLE 
WITH A VACCINE 
UNLESS IT WAS 
SHOWN IN A 
CLINICAL TRIAL 
CLEARLY TO BE 
SAFE AND 
EFFECTIVE. 
I HAVE BEEN 
THROUGH A NUMBER 
OF VACCINE 
TRIALS IN WHICH 
THEY HAVE BEEN 
DONE WHEN THERE 
WAS ENOUGH DATA 
THAT YOU WOULD 
REALLY FEEL 
COMFORTABLE THAT 
IT WAS SAFE AND 
EFFECTIVE FOR 
THE AMERICAN 
PUBLIC. 
>> Reporter: AND 
AS COVID-19 
CASES SPIKE ON 
MANY COLLEGE 
CAMPUSES, 
SCHOOLS ARE 
STRUGGLING WITH 
WHAT TO DO WITH 
INFECTED 
STUDENTS. 
>> IT IS THE 
WORST THING YOU 
CAN DO, KEEP 
THEM AT THE 
UNIVERSITY, IN A 
PLACE THAT IS 
SEQUESTERED 
ENOUGH FROM THE 
OTHER STUDENTS, 
BUT DON'T HAVE 
THEM GO HOME. 
BECAUSE THEY 
COULD BE 
SPREADING IT IN 
THEIR HOME 
STATE. 
>> Reporter: 
LABOR DAY IS 
COMING UP AND WE 
HAVE SEEN AN 
INCREASE IN 
CASES AFTER 
HOLIDAY WEEKENDS 
IN THE PAST. 
ARE YOU 
CONCERNED ABOUT 
THAT AS WE HEAD 
INTO THIS 
WEEKEND? 
>> WHEN YOU HAVE 
A HOLIDAY, LIKE 
LABOR DAY, WE 
HAVE SEEN THE 
FOURTH OF JULY, 
WE SAW AFTER 
MEMORIAL DAY A 
SURGE IN CASES. 
WEAR A MASK. 
KEEP SOCIAL 
DISTANCING. 
AVOID CROWDS. 
YOU CAN AVOID 
THOSE KIND OF 
SURGES. 
YOU DON'T WANT 
TO BE SOMEONE 
WHO IS 
PROPAGATING THE 
OUTBREAK. 
YOU WANT TO BE 
PART OF THE 
SOLUTION, NOT 
PART OF THE 
PROBLEM. 
>> Reporter: CAN 
WE GET SOME 
CONTROL OF THIS 
AS WE LOOK AHEAD 
TO FLU SEASON? 
AND ARE YOU 
CONCERNED ABOUT 
A TWIN DEMIC, AS 
THEY SAY? 
>> I AM. 
I WOULD LIKE TO 
SEE A FULL COURT 
PRESS TO GET US 
WAY DOWN TO THE 
BASELINE, SO 
WHEN YOU GET 
THESE CASES IN 
THE FALL, THEY 
WON'T SURGE UP. 
THEY WILL BE 
CONTROLLABLE. 
>> Reporter: 
BOTTOM LINE, HE 
SAYS, UNTIL WE 
GET A VACCINE 
THAT IS 
AVAILABLE FOR 
EVERYONE, WE 
CAN'T STRESS 
THIS ENOUGH, WE 
REALLY HAVE TO 
BE CAREFUL AND 
THIS LABOR DAY 
WEEKEND IS 
CRITICAL IF WE 
WANT TO TURN 
THINGS AROUND.

THEY WANTED A

UP ALL THE PAIN 
WE HAVE TO STAND 
ON OUR SQUARE 
UNTIL WE GET

UNCLE JOINED A 
GATHERING IN A 
NEIGHBORHOOD 
WHERE A WHITE 
OFFICER SHOT THE 
29-YEAR-OLD 
BLACK MAN IN THE 
BACK SEVEN 
TIMES. 
>> Reporter: IF 
YOU COULD SPEAK 
TO THE 
PRESIDENT, WHAT 
WOULD YOU TELL 
HIM? 
>> IT IS TOO 
LATE. 
HE HAS HAD FOUR 
YEARS IN THAT 
OFFICE. 
HE HAS DONE 
NOTHING BUT 
SPILL HATE OUT 
OF HIS MOUTH

RITTENHOUSE'S 
ATTORNEY SAID IT 
WAS SELF-
DEFENSE. 
JOE BIDEN 
BLASTED HIM FOR 
STOKING 
VIOLENCE.

WORDS OF A 
PRESIDENT MATTER 
AND WHEN THEY 
BREATHE HATRED, 
THOSE FOLKS THAT 
ARE HIDING UNDER 
THE ROCKS COME 
OUT. 
>> Reporter: IN 
KENOSHA, THE 
PRESIDENT'S 
SUPPORTERS LINED

>> DO WHAT YOU 
ARE DOING. 
KEEP FIGHTING 
FOR OUR COUNTRY.

OBVIOUSLY COMING 
HERE TO SAY WE 
ARE HERE TO

OTHERS ARE 
OUTRAGED AS

DO YOU THINK THE

TO KENOSHA. 
>> AS FOR THE

CONDUCTED 88 
INTERVIEWS SO 
FAR. 
>> GABE 
GUTIERREZ IN 
KENOSHA, 
WISCONSIN. 
THANK YOU. 
>>> PETER, GOOD 
MORNING. 
WE NOW HAVE THE 
DEMOCRATIC AND 
REAP CONVENTIONS 
BEHIND US. 
THE QUESTION IS 
WOULD THEY 
MATTER? 
WOULD SOMEONE 
GET A BUMP IN 
THE POLLS? 
WHAT DO THE NEW 
NUMBERS SHOW US? 
>> THESE POLLS 
GIVE US A 
SNAPSHOT OF 
WHERE THIS RACE 
STANDS. 
THE LATEST USA 
TODAY POLL SHOWS 
JOE BIDEN 
LEADING 
PRESIDENT TRUMP 
BY SEVEN POINTS 
NATIONALLY, 50-
43. 
THE LEAD HAS 
NARROWED FROM 
THE 12 POINT 
ADVANTAGE. 
AND GRINNELL 
COLLEGE SHOWS 
BIDEN WITH AN 
EIGHT POINT LEAD 
NATIONALLY. 
THE NUMBERS DO 
DETAIL SOME 
INTERESTING DATA 
POINTS. 
THEY SHOW THE 
PRESIDENT'S 
STRATEGY TO WOO 
SUBURBAN VOTERS, 
ESPECIALLY 
WOMEN. 
BIDEN LEADS 
AMONG WOMEN BY 
22 POINTS. 
PRESIDENT TRUMP 
IS FAVORED AMONG 
MEN BY SIX 
POINTS. 
BUT CONSIDER 
THIS, BIDEN'S 
LEAD WITH 
SUBURBAN WOMEN 
IS NOW 33 
POINTS. 
AS FOR THE 
CORONAVIRUS 
CRISIS, MOST 
AMERICANS STILL 
DISAPPROVE OF 
THE PRESIDENT'S 
HANDLING OF THE 
PANDEMIC BUT ON 
THE ECONOMY MORE 
THAN HALF 
APPROVE OF THE 
JOB HE HAS DONE. 
>> ALSO GROWING 
CONCERNS, PETER, 
AS YOU KNOW, 
ABOUT THE NUMBER 
OF MAIL IN 
BALLOTS THAT THE 
RESULTS ON 
ELECTION NIGHT 
WILL NOT ONLY BE 
DELAYED, WHICH 
WE HAVE BEEN 
WARNED ABOUT, 
BUT COULD BE A 
BIT MISLEADING 
EARLY ON. 
WHAT CAN YOU 
TELL US ABOUT 
THAT? 
>> ELECTION 
EXPERTS HAVE 
BEEN WARNING 
ABOUT THIS. 
PRESIDENT TRUMP 
COULD APPEAR TO 
BE AHEAD BUT 
ULTIMATELY LOSE 
ONCE THE 
COUNTING OF ALL 
MAIL IN BALLOTS 
IS COMPLETED 
DAYS OR EVEN 
WEEKS LATER. 
ONE DEMOCRATIC 
FIRM IS 
DESCRIBING THIS 
AS A RED MYRRH 
RAJ. 
THE PRESIDENT IS 
SAYING RIGGED 
ELECTION? 
THIS COULD BE 
CONFUSING. 
AND HERE IS BY 
IT COULD HAPPEN. 
BECAUSE 
DEMOCRATS 
EXPRESS BIGGER 
CONCERNS ABOUT 
THE VIRUS AND 
THE PRESIDENT'S 
RELENTLESS 
ATTACKS ON MAIL 
IN BALLOTING, 
FAR MORE 
DEMOCRATS THAN 
REPUBLICANS ARE 
EXPECTED TO VOTE 
BY MAIL AND 
THOSE BALLOTS 
COULD TAKE 
LONGER TO COUNT. 
>> IT IS GOING 
TO BE A LONG 
ELECTION NIGHT 
OR WEEK, AS YOU 
SAY. 
PETER ALEXANDER 
AT THE WHITE 
HOUSE, THANKS SO 
MUCH.

NIGHT TRIUMPH 
FOR 
MASSACHUSETTS 
SENATOR ED 
MARKEY.

HAS ALWAYS BEEN 
ABOUT THE YOUNG 
PEOPLE OF THIS

YOU ARE OUR

THE END OF AN 
UNBEATEN STREAK 
FOR THE MOST 
STORIED FAMILY 
IN AMERICAN 
POLITICS, WITH 
CHALLENGER 
JOSEPH KENNEDY 
III BECOMING THE 
FIRST KENNEDY TO 
LOSE A PRIMARY 
IN MASSACHUSETTS 
IN MORE THAN 70 
YEARS IN 
POLITICS. 
>> WE MAY HAVE 
LOST THE FINAL 
VOTE COUNT 
TONIGHT. 
BUT WE BUILT A 
COALITION THAT 
WILL ENDURE. 
>> Reporter: THE 
KENNEDY FAMILY 
HAD WON 26 
STRAIGHT PRIMARY 
RACES IN 
MASSACHUSETTS, 
GOING BACK TO 
PRESIDENT JFK'S 
FIRST HOUSE RACE 
IN 1946. 
JOE KENNEDY, WHO 
REPRESENTS THE 
STATE'S FOURTH 
DISTRICT IN THE 
HOUSE, ENTERED 
THIS RACE AS A 
FAVORITE. 
MANY OF HIS 
SUPPORTERS ARE 
ATTRACTED TO THE 
VALUES HIS 
FAMILY 
REPRESENTED 
HERE. 
>> I THINK ABOUT 
THE HISTORY OF 
HIS FAMILY. 
WHAT THEY HAVE 
GONE THROUGH. 
WHAT IT KIND OF 
MEANS TO ME, AS 
A BLACK MAN. 
>> Reporter: BUT 
IT WAS A 74-YEAR-
OLD MAN RUNNING 
FOR HIS SECOND 
TERM IN THE 
SENATE AFTER 
MORE THAN THREE 
DECADES IN THE 
HOUSE. 
HE HAD HELP FROM 
POWERFUL 
ENDORSERS, 
INCLUDING 
SENATOR 
ELIZABETH WARREN 
AND 
CONGRESSWOMAN 
ALEXANDRIA 
OCASIO-CORTEZ. 
AND WITH WHOM HE 
CO-AUTHORED THE 
GREEN NEW DEAL 
ENVIRONMENTAL 
PLAN. 
>> AS ALEXANDRIA 
OCASIO-CORTEZ 
SAID, IT IS NOT 
YOUR AGE. 
BUT THE AGE OF 
YOUR IDEAS. 
AND THEN SHE AID 
ED MARKEY IS THE 
GENERATIONAL 
CHANGE WE HAVE 
BEEN WAITING 
FOR. 
AND IN THIS 
RACE, WHEN IT 
COMES TO IDEAS, 
I'M THE YOUNGEST 
GUY IN THE RATE. 
>> KENNEDY GAVE 
A NOD TO HIS 
FAMILY'S LEGACY. 
>> TO MY FAMILY. 
THE KENNEDY 
FAMILY. 
YOU ARE MY ROLE 
MODEL, YOU ARE 
MY EXAMPLE OF 
WHAT PUBLIC 
SERVICE SHOULD 
BE. 
>>> KENNEDY HAD 
TO GIVE UP HIS 
HOUSE SEAT TO 
RUN FOR THIS 
SENATE SEAT. 
WE DON'T KNOW 
WHAT HE WILL DO 
NEXT. 
MARQUIS FACES 
REPUBLICAN 
LAWYER KEVIN 
O'CONNOR, THAT 
IS A RACE HE IS 
HEAVILY FAVORED 
TO WIN. 
>>> GARRETT, 
THANK YOU. 
>>> WILLIE, GOOD 
MORNING. 
THIS IS A WILD 
STORY BUT IT IS 
FAR FROM 
HARMLESS. 
EXPERTS SAY IF 
THERE REALLY WAS 
A PERSON IN A 
JET PACK IN THE 
FLIGHT PATH OF 
THOSE PLANES, 
THIS COULD HAVE 
BEEN AN A 
DISASTER AND 
THIS MORNING 
INVESTIGATORS 
WANT ANSWERS. 
>> Reporter: IN 
THE STRATOSPHERE 
OF UNTHINKABLE 
THINGS SPOTTED 
IN THE SKY, THIS 
ONE REACHES NEW 
HEIGHTS.

AMERICAN 1997 WE 
JUST PASSED A 
GUY ON A JET 
PACK. 
>> AMERICAN 1997 
OKAY. 
LEFT SIDE OR 
RIGHT SIDE? 
>> OFF THE WEST 
SIDE. 
MAYBE 300 YARDS 
OR SO, ABOUT OUR 
ALTITUDE.

SUNDAY NIGHT AN 
AMERICAN 
AIRLINES PILOT 
ALERTING THE 
FLIGHT TOWER AT 
L.A.X. 
OF WHAT APPEARED 
TO BE A PERSON 
HOVERING AT 
ROUGHLY 3000 
FEET. 
AT FIRST 
UNBELIEVABLE. 
ABOUT YOU THEN A 
SECOND PILOT 
REPORTED THE 
SAME THING. 
>> WE JUST SAW 
THE GUY PASS BY 
US. 
>> Reporter: THE 
TOWER, THEN ON 
ALERT, WARNS A 
THIRD PILOT. 
>> A PERSON ON A 
JET PACK 
REPORTED 300 
YARDS SOUTH OF 
THE L.A. 
FINAL. 
>> Reporter: 
AVIATION EXPERTS 
SAY ANYTHING 
THAT CLOSE TO A 
PLANE'S FINAL 
APPROACH IS 
EXTREMELY 
DANGEROUS, 
INCLUDING A 
GROWING LIST OF 
MODERN 
NIGHTMARES 
FACING PILOTS 
FRO DRONES TO 
LASER POINTERS, 
ELEVATING THE 
RISK OF SAFE 
LANDINGS. 
IT WASN'T LONG 
AGO JET PACKS 
WERE PURE 
FICTION. 
NOW THERE ARE A 
NEW FRONTIER FOR 
INVENTORS AND 
DAREDEVILS, SOME 
OF THEM CAPABLE 
OF REACHING UP 
TO 12,000 FEET. 
A JET POWERED 
HOVERBOARD 
RECENTLY FLEW 
ACROSS THE 
ENGLISH CHANNEL. 
THANKFULLY, NO 
ONE WAS HURT 
THIS WEEKEND, 
BUT THE FAA HAS 
LAUNCHED AN 
INVESTIGATION. 
A DANGEROUS 
CLOSE ENCOUNTER 
TAYLORMADE FOR A 
CITY BUILT ON 
IMAGINATION. 
>> ONLY IN L.A. 
>>> THAT WAS 
TOTALLY A 
BIZARRE STORY. 
SO I GUESS THE 
QUESTION IS THAT 
LEGAL? 
CAN THAT GUY 
FACE CHARGES? 
>> INVESTIGATORS 
WOULD SAY THEY 
ARE STILL TRYING 
TO DETERMINE IF 
THERE WAS A 
PERSON IN A YET 
PACK IN THE 
FIRST PLACE. 
IF THERE WAS 
THEY WOULD HAVE 
GOTTEN 
PERMISSION FROM 
THE FAA. 
THE FBI HAS 
QUESTIONS OF 
THEIR OWN. 
THEY OPENED 
INVESTIGATION AS 
WELL. 
>>> DO THEY KNOW 
WHO THE PERSON 
IS? 
>> THEY DO NOT 
KNOW WHO IT IS. 
IT IS STILL A 
MYSTERY AT THIS 
POINT, GUYS. 
>>> STEVE 
PATTERSON, THANK 
YOU. 
A LOT OF 
QUESTIONS ABOUT 
THAT ONE. 
>>> WE HAVE 
ENOUGH TO WORRY 
ABOUT. 
>>> AT A TIME 
MANY CUSTOMERS 
ARE CONCERNED 
ABOUT COVID-19, 
AND LOOKING TO 
AVOID CROWDS AT 
ALL COSTS. 
>> SEE THAT 
LINE. 
I HAD TO WAIT IN 
THAT LINE. 
IF I CAN GET IT 
DELIVERED TO MY 
HOUSE I WOULD DO 
IT IN A MINUTE. 
>> Reporter: 
RETAIL WAL-MART 
IS STEPPING UP 
ITS ECOMMERCE 
GAME, OFFERING A 
$98 ANNUAL 
SUBSCRIPTION 
CALLED WAL-MART 
PLUS. 
THE COMPANY SAYS 
IT WILL GIVE 
ACCESS TO 
SPEEDIER 
DELIVERIES, 
LEVERAGING ITS 
4700 PLUS STORES 
ACROSS THE 
COUNTRY. 
MORE THAN HALF 
OF WHICH CAN 
DROPOFF GOODS 
THE SAME DAY. 
FROM FOOD AND 
TOYS TO 
ELECTRONICS. 
A BASKET OF MORE 
THAN 160,000 
ITEMS. 
>> WE HAVE SEEN 
PEOPLE WANTING 
DELIVERY, SOME 
WANTING TWO HOUR 
DELIVERY, SAME 
DAY OR UP TO 
SEVEN DAY IN 
ADVANCE. 
>>> A MAJOR PERK 
IN A PANDEMIC. 
BUT THE NEW 
PROGRAM COMES 
WITH A CAVEAT. 
UNLIKE AMAZON, 
WHOSE PRIME 
SERVICE COSTS 
$119 A YEAR AND 
HAS NO MINIMUM 
ORDER PRICE 
EXCEPT FOR SAME 
DAY AND AMAZON 
FRESH FOOD 
DELIVERIES, WAL-
MART PLUS 
REQUIRES A 
MINIMUM $35 
ORDER TO AVOID 
FEES. 
>> YOU ARE 
GETTING A 
CARDBOARD BOX 
WITH AMAZON, YOU 
CAN GET ONE ITEM 
THAT IS FIVE 
BUCKS. 
IF YOU GET A BOX 
FROM WAL-MART 
YOU HAVE TO GET 
$35 OR MORE. 
>> Reporter: 
MELISSA POINTS 
OUT WAL-MART'S 
GROCERY 
FOOTPRINT GIVES 
IT AN EDGE WITH 
STORES 10 MILES 
OR LESS FROM 90% 
OF AMERICANS. 
>> YOU WANT A 
DELIVERY TO 
SOMEONE'S DOOR, 
PARTICULARLY 
WITH SOMEONE 
LIKE MILK OR 
EGGS YOU NEED TO 
GET TO THEM 
FAST. 
THAT IS WHAT WAL-
MART IS COUNTING 
ON. 
>> Reporter: THE 
PLUS PROGRAM 
ALSO OFFERS A 
UNIQUE TOOL FOR 
IN STORE 
PURCHASES, 
CALLED SCAN AND 
GO. 
SHOPPERS CAN 
RING UP ITEMS ON 
THEIR PHONE AND 
PAY 
ELECTRONICALLY. 
BUT WAL-MART 
INSISTS IT IS 
NOT TRYING TO 
EAT INTO 
AMAZON'S 
PROFITS. 
>> WHEN WE 
DESIGNED THIS, 
WE DIDN'T DESIGN 
IT LOOKING AT 
MAKING DENTS IN 
ANYBODY ELSE'S 
BUSINESS. 
WHAT WE DID WAS 
TAKE A REALLY 
GOOD, HARD LOOK 
AT WHAT OUR 
CUSTOMERS NEED 
AND WHAT THEY 
WANT AND WHAT 
THEY LOOK TO US 
FOR. 
>>> AMAZON PRIME 
HAS BEEN AROUND 
FOR MORE THAN A 
DECADE. 
WHY IS WAL-MART 
INVESTING NOW? 
BECAUSE OF THE 
PANDEMIC AND 
PEOPLE WON'T BE 
INSIDE THEIR 
STORES AS MUCH? 
>> WELL THE 
PANDEMIC IS 
PRELUDE TO 
SOMETHING ELSE 
RIGHT NOW. 
A CONSUMER 
DEMAND FOR 
ONLINE DELIVERY 
IS SKYROCKETING. 
ESPECIALLY FOR 
FOOD ITEMS. 
WAL-MART SAW 
ONLINE SALES 
DOUBLE LAST 
QUARTER. 
THE QUESTION NOW 
BECOMES THERE IS 
NO VIDEO 
STREAMING 
SERVICE LIKE YOU 
WOULD SEE WITH 
AMAZON PRIME. 
BUT OTHER 
BENEFITS, UP TO 
5 CENTS PER 
GALLON OFF FOR 
WAL-MART PLUS 
PROGRAMS. 
>> A LOT OF 
PEOPLE ARE GOING 
TO WANT TO USE 
THIS. 
ESPECIALLY RIGHT 
NOW. 
THANKS SO MUCH. 
>>> I BELIEVE 
THAT BY THE TIME 
WE GET TO THE 
END OF THIS 
CALENDAR YEAR 
THAT WE WILL 
FEEL COMFORTABLE 
THAT WE HAVE A 
SAFE AND 
EFFECTIVE 
VACCINE. 
>> DR. ANTHONY 
FAUCI IS 
POSITIVE A COVID-
19 VACCINE IS ON 
THE WAY. 
SPEAKING ABOUT 
THE POSSIBILITY 
OF GETTING ONE 
TO THE PUBLIC 
MORE QUICKLY BY 
WAY OF AN 
EMERGENCY USE 
AUTHORIZATION. 
>> I WOULD NOT 
BE COMFORTABLE 
WITH A VACCINE 
UNLESS IT WAS 
SHOWN IN A 
CLINICAL TRIAL 
CLEARLY TO BE 
SAFE AND 
EFFECTIVE. 
I HAVE BEEN 
THROUGH A NUMBER 
OF VACCINE 
TRIALS IN WHICH 
THEY HAVE 
ULTIMATELY BEEN 
DONE, BUT THEY 
HAVE BEEN DONE 
WHEN THERE WAS 
ENOUGH DATA THAT 
YOU WOULD REALLY 
FEEL COMFORTABLE 
THAT IT WAS SAFE 
AND EFFECTIVE 
FOR THE AMERICAN 
PUBLIC. 
>> Reporter: AND 
AS COVID-19 
CASES SPIKE ON 
MANY COLLEGE 
CAMPUSES, 
SCHOOLS ARE 
STRUGGLING WITH 
WHAT TO DO WITH 
INFECTED 
STUDENTS. 
>> SO THE CAMPUS 
IS SHUT DOWN AND 
THE KIDS GO 
HOME? 
>> IT IS THE 
WORST THING YOU 
COULD DO. 
KEEP THEM AT THE 
UNIVERSITY, IN A 
PLACE THAT IS 
SEQUESTERED 
ENOUGH FROM THE 
OTHER STUDENTS. 
BUT DON'T HAVE 
THEM GO HOME. 
BECAUSE THEY 
COULD SPREAD IT. 
>> Reporter: 
LABOR DAY IS 
COMING UP AND WE 
HAVE SEEN AN 
INCREASE IN 
CASES AFTER PAST 
HOLIDAY 
WEEKENDS. 
ARE YOU 
CONCERNED ABOUT 
THAT AS WE HEAD 
INTO THIS 
WEEKEND? 
>> WHEN YOU HAVE 
A HOLIDAY, LIKE 
LABOR DAY. 
WE HAVE SEEN 
AFTER THE FOURTH 
OF JULY, WE SAW 
AFTER MEMORIAL 
DAY, A SURGE IN 
CASES. 
WEAR A MASK, 
KEEP SOCIAL 
DISTANCING, 
AVOID CROWDS, 
YOU CAN AVOID 
THOSE KIND OF 
SURGES. 
YOU DON'T WANT 
TO BE SOMEONE 
WHO IS 
PROPAGATING THE 
OUTBREAK, YOU 
WANT TO BE PART 
OF THE SOLUTION, 
NOT PART OF THE 
PROBLEM. 
>> CAN WE GET 
SOME CONTROL OF 
THIS AS WE LOOK 
AHEAD TO FLU 
SEASON? 
AND ARE YOU 
CONCERNED ABOUT 
A TWIN DEMIC AS 
THEY SAY? 
>> I AM AND WHAT 
I WOULD REALLY 
LIKE TO SEE IS 
KIND OF A FULL 
COURT PRESS TO 
GET US WAY DOWN 
AT THE BASELINE, 
SO WHEN YOU GET 
THESE CASES IN 
THE FALL, THEY 
WON'T SURGE UP. 
THEY WILL BE 
CONTROLLABLE. 
>> BOTTOM LINE, 
HE SAYS UNTIL WE 
GET A VACCINE 
THAT IS 
AVAILABLE FOR 
EVERYONE, WE 
CAN'T STREET 
THIS ENOUGH, WE 
REALLY HAVE TO 
BE CAREFUL AND 
THIS LABOR DAY 
WEEKEND IS 
CRITICAL IF WE 
WANT TO TURN 
THINGS AROUND. 
>>> THEY TRAVEL 
TO THE FAR 
REACHES OF THE 
WORLD. 
>> WHAT WAS YOUR 
SECRET? 
>> AND TRACKED 
DOWN THE LONGEST 
LIVED PEOPLE ON 
EARTH.
WHAT CAN THEY 
TEACH US ABOUT 
SURVIVING? 
PERHAPS EVEN 
THRIVING? 
>> IN THESE 
DIFFICULT TIMES. 
>> EVERY 
LONGEVITY 
CULTURE IN THE 
WORLD, THEY WENT 
THROUGH WARS, 
THEY WENT 
THROUGH FAMINES. 
THE SAME 
STRESSES WE ARE 
SUFFERING RIGHT 
NOW. 
>>> DAN, WE HAVE 
BEEN ALL OVER 
THE WORLD 
TOGETHER AND NOW 
WE ARE IN OUR 
BACKYARD. 
>> YOU HAVE TO 
TRAVEL AROUND 
THE WORLD TO 
DISCOVER HOME. 
I GUESS WE'VE 
DONE IT. 
>> YOU KNOW, 
INITIALLY, I 
THINK MOST 
PEOPLE JUST 
CLOSED THE DOOR, 
CLOSED THE WIND 
TOES AND SAID 
OKAY, IT IS JUST 
ME AND WHOEVER 
LIVES WITH ME. 
IS THAT 
SUSTAINABLE? 
IS THAT HEALTHY? 
>>> NO. 
WE KNOW THAT 
LONELINESS IS AS 
BAD FOR YOU AS 
SMOKING. 
SO IF YOU ARE 
CHRONICALLY 
LONELY, WHICH IS 
TO SAY YOU DON'T 
HAVE AT LEAST 
TWO FRIENDS YOU 
CAN COUNT ON, ON 
A BAD DAY, IT 
SHAVES ABOUT 
EIGHT YEARS OFF 
YOUR LIFE 
EXPECTANCY. 
>> OVER THE 
YEARS, DAN HAS 
TAKEN US ON HIS 
JOURNEY TO 
UNLOCK THE 
SECRET. 
AND NOW HE SAYS 
WHAT THEY TAUGHT 
US IS MORE 
IMPORTANT THAN 
EVER. 
>>> ONE OF MY 
FAVORITE 
MEMORIES OF OUR 
EXPERIENCE IN 
SARDINIA IS 
WALKING IN THIS 
SMALL LITTLE 
HOUSE WITH SIX 
WOMEN AGES 22 TO 
84, WHO ARE 
BAKING BREAD 
TOGETHER. 
AND YOU WERE 
STRESSED WITH 
FLYING ACROSS 
THE ATLANTIC. 
I COULD JUST SEE 
YOU EXUDING 
STRESS. 
AND WITHIN FIVE 
MINUTES OF THOSE 
WOMEN THE STRESS 
WAS NEARLY 
POOLING AT YOUR 
FEET. 
YOU SAW WOMEN 
CONNECTING 
SOCIALLY AND 
SHARING 
HARDSHIPS AND 
JOY. 
YOU SAW LOTS OF 
PHYSICAL 
ACTIVITY. 
>> EVEN IN THE 
AGE OF SOCIAL 
DISTANCING, DAN 
SAYS IT IS STILL 
POSSIBLE TO 
MAINTAIN THOSE 
CONNECTIONS. 
>> EVEN PEOPLE 
CONNECTING LAKE 
WE ARE RIGHT 
NOW, CYNTHIA, ON 
ZOOM, HAVING 
MEANINGFUL 
CONVERSATION, 
CAN ACTUALLY 
REPLACE A FACE-
TO-FACE 
CONVERSATION. 
>> IN THE BLUE 
ZONES, PEOPLE 
DON'T TAKE THEIR 
ELDERS AND PUT 
THEM ALL 
TOGETHER IN A 
NURSING HOME. 
THAT IS JUST NOT 
HOW IT WORKS. 
>> THEY ARE A 
CONTRIBUTING 
MEMBER OF THE 
FAMILY. 
WHEN THEY ARE 
LIVING AT HOME 
WITH YOU, YOU 
CAN BETTER 
PROTECT THEM. 
>> I REMEMBER 
BEING WITH YOU 
AND SEEING THE 
OLD COUPLE IN 
SARDINIA. 
WELL INTO THEIR 
LATE 80s, AND 
THERE THEY WERE, 
IN THEIR GARDEN. 
>> Reporter: IN 
INTERVIEWING 
MORE THAN 350, 
ONE OF THE 
ACTIVITIES THEY 
HAVE IS A 
GARDEN. 
IT IS ARGUABLY 
ONE OF THE BEST 
ACTIVITIES WE 
CAN DO. 
IT PROVIDES US 
AN ONGOING NUDGE 
FOR US TO WATER 
AND WEED AND 
HARVEST. 
IT IS LOW 
INTENSITY 
PHYSICAL 
ACTIVITY AND 
YOU'LL EMERGE 
FROM THE 
ACTIVITY WITH 
VEGETABLES YOU 
ARE GOING TO 
EAT, BECAUSE YOU 
PLANTED THEM. 
>> DAN SAYS SOME 
OF THE BEST 
INGREDIENTS FOR 
A LONG AND 
HEALTHY LIFE ARE 
IN THE KITCHEN. 
WHICH IS WHY HE 
WROTE BLUE ZONE 
KITCHEN. 
>> HOW MUCH RED 
ONION DID YOU 
PUT IN THERE? 
>> HE HAS 
WRITTEN DOWN THE 
RECIPES THE 
WORLD'S OLDEST 
PEOPLE HAVE 
EATEN FOR 
CENTURIES. 
>> LOOK AT THIS. 
THAT TOOK ME TWO 
YEARS. 
WE CAPTURED THE 
DIET BEFORE IT 
DISAPPEARED. 
THIS IS THE MEAL 
THAT THE LONGEST 
LIVED FAMILY IN 
HISTORY ATE 
ALMOST EVERY 
SINGLE DAY OF 
THEIR LIFE. 
>> I HAVE MADE 
THE SOUP LIKE WE 
DID IN SARDINIA. 
THE BLUE ZONES 
TEACH US YOU 
HAVE TO EAT 
BEAN. 
>> IN EVERY 
LONGEVITY DIET 
THE CORNERSTONE 
IS ABOUT A CUP 
OF BEANS A DAY. 
IF YOU ARE 
EATING THAT IT 
IS PROBABLY 
EIGHTING FOUR 
YEARS TO YOUR 
LIFE EXPECTANCY. 
>> I HAVE A 
PASTA THAT TAKES 
LITERALLY FIVE 
MINUTES. 
>> DAN TAKES ME 
INTO HIS 
KITCHEN, FOR A 
VIRTUAL COOKING 
LESSON. 
>> TOMATOES FROM 
MY FATHER'S 
GARDEN, ONE-HALF 
OF A RED ONION. 
THIS IS UNDER A 
DOLLAR SERVING. 
I'M A BIG 
BELIEVER WHERE 
THERE IS 
HARDSHIP, THERE 
IS OPPORTUNITY. 
IT DOES GIVE US 
AN OPPORTUNITY 
TO RELEARN THE 
ART OF HOME 
COOKING. 
>> BEAUTIFUL. 
THAT IS A GOOD 
SALES PITCH TO 
BE HEALTHIER 
LIVE TO 100, EAT 
THIS WAY. 
>> AND EAT 
DELICIOUSLY. 
>>> AND THAT WAS 
DINNER. 
SORRY I DIDN'T 
SAVE YOU ANY. 
A COUPLE OF 
OTHER THINGS DAN 
SAYS. 
IF YOU KNOW YOUR 
PURPOSE AND LIVE 
IT OUT, THAT 
ADDS SEVEN YEARS 
TO YOUR LIFE. 
EXERCISE YOU 
DON'T NEED A 
GYM. 
YOU JUST NEED TO 
MOVE NATURALLY. 
WALK UP AND DOWN 
HILLS, DO HOUSE 
WORK, WORK IN 
THE GARDEN. 
BLUE ZONE FOLKS 
EAT UNTIL THEY 
ARE 80% FULL. 
THAT IS HARD TO 
DO, BUT IT MAKES 
A DIFFERENCE. 
DAN SAID SINCE 
HE STARTED 
EATING IN THE 
BLUE ZONE WAYS, 
HE LOST 20 
POUNDS AND 
FINALLY, MAYBE 
NOT THIS EARLY 
IN THE MORNING, 
WINE. 
WINE IN SARDINIA 
ADDS TO THE 
LIFESTYLE. 
AND LET ME ASK 
YOU ONE OTHER 
QUICK QUESTION. 
WHAT ABOUT 
PEOPLE WHO HAVE 
DOGS? 
LIKE IF YOU HAVE 
A PET, DOES THAT 
EXTEND YOUR LIFE 
TOO? 
>> IT DOES. 
DAN SAYS HAVING 
A DOG NOT ONLY 
WHEN YOU PAT THE 
DOG DOES IT MAKE 
YOUR HEART RATE 
GO DOWN, BUT YOU 
HAVE TO WALK THE 
DOG AND YOU 
KNOW, IT REALLY 
MAKES A 
DIFFERENCE. 
HE SAYS HAVING A 
DOG, I DON'T 
KNOW IF YOU CAN 
SEE MINE ON THE 
SOFA BEHIND ME. 
HAVING A DOG 
REALLY OLYMPICS 
A DIFFERENCE, SO 
EMPTY THOSE 
KENNELS. 
>>> I HAVE NO 
PET AND I OFTEN 
EAT UNTIL I'M 
180% FULL, SO I 
MIGHT BE IN 
TROUBLE. 
>>> AMONG THE 
CHAOS, I FOUND A 
FATHER, TRYING 
TO TEACH HIS SON 
ABOUT PEACE. 
>> YOU DON'T 
HAVE TO 
RETALIATE WITH 
ANGER. 
YOU RETALIATE 
WITH LOVE. 
IT IS ALWAYS 
ANOTHER WAY. 
THAT IS WHAT I 
WANT HIM TO SEE. 
>>> THIS IS THE 
SITUATION WHERE 
THE STATE 
CONTINUES TO 
STRUGGLE TO 
EXPAND ITS 
CAPABILITIES. 
>> PROTESTERS 
FEEL THEY NEED 
TO COME OUT IN 
FULL FORCE AND 
SUPPORT THEIR 
COMMUNITY, 
BECAUSE THEY 
FEEL LIKE THEY 
ARE NOT GETTING 
THAT SUPPORT 
FROM THE POLICE. 
>>> ANOTHER

MATERIAL COSTS. 
SO THERE IS NO 
WAY THAT, EVEN 
IF ALL THE 
PEOPLE IN OUR 
FACTORY CAME TO 
WORK FOR FREE, 
WE STILL 
COULDN'T COMPETE 
WITH THE CHINESE 
IMPORTS. 
>> THE PRESIDENT 
ON THE CAMPAIGN 
TRAIL IN 2016, 
PROMISED TO TAKE 
ON CHINA. 
WHAT ABOUT WHAT 
HE SAID DREW YOU 
TO HIM? 
>> HE WAS GOING 
TO HELP THE U.S. 
MANUFACTURERS. 
AND YOU KNOW, I 
THINK IN SOME 
WAYS HE DID WHAT 
HE SAID HE WOULD 
DO. 
HE TARIFFED 
CHINA. 
BUT BUSINESS IS 
STILL SLOW. 
IT IS NOT 
CREATING JOBS 
YET. 
THE TARIFFS JUST 
HAVEN'T PRODUCED 
THE RESULTS THAT 
WE NEEDED UNTIL 
THERE IS 
SOMETHING THAT 
THE GOVERNMENT 
DOES TO STOP 
CHINA FROM 
SUBSIDIZING THE 
PRICES OF THE 
TRAILERS. 
THERE IS NO HELP 
FOR US, THOUGH. 
WE NEED SOMEONE 
TO SAY HERE'S 
THE PLAN THAT IS 
NOT JUST GOING 
TO COLLECT 
REVENUE FOR THE 
UNITED STATES, 
BUT IT IS ALSO 
GOING TO GET 
PRICING UP UNTIL 
WE ARE 
COMPETITIVE I 
CAN'T I'M HOPING 
TO RETIRE HERE. 
I WANT TO STAY 
HERE AS LONG AS 
I AND HOPEFULLY 
OUR PRESIDENT 
WILL HELP MAKE 
THAT HAPPEN. 
>>> WE HAVE A 
PRESIDENT WHO IS 
A BUSINESSMAN BY 
NATURE AND NOT A 
POLITICIAN. 
HE TELLS YOU 
THAT. 
HOPEFULLY HE 
CONTINUES TO 
HAVE THE 
BUSINESS MIND 
SET AND 
CONTINUES GOING 
FORWARD WITH 
WHAT HE HAS BEEN 
DOING. 
MY FATHER WOULD 
BE ROLLING IN 
HIS GRAVE RIGHT 
NOW. 
BUT I DON'T SEE 
MYSELF VOTING 
FOR A DEMOCRAT. 
I THINK TRUMP 
HAS DONE A GREAT 
JOB. 
I REALLY DO. 
>> CAN I ASK YOU 
WHO YOU VOTED 
FOR IN 2016? 
>> TRUMP. 
>> ARE YOU 
LEANING THAT 
WAY? 
>> NO I'M 
WAITING IT OUT 
TO SEE WHAT 
HAPPENS. 
>> I'M STILL 
UNDECIDED. 
I HAVE TO HEAR 
WHAT THEY HAVE 
IT SAY. 
TO ME IT IS NOT 
ABOUT JUST THE 
CHINESE IMPORTS, 
IT IS ABOUT THE 
REST OF THE 
ECONOMY, IT IS 
ABOUT COVID-19, 
IT IS ABOUT A 
LOT OF THINGS. 
SO THERE IS A 
LOT OUT THERE 
YET AND A IT IS 
A LITTLE TOO 
SOON TO SAY. 
>>> MARRA, YOU 
ARE IN A 
BATTLEGROUND 
STATE AND A 
BATTLEGROUND 
COUNTY. 
CAN YOU TELL US 
MORE ABOUT 
VOTERS THERE? 
>> 
>> Reporter: 
SAVANNAH THESE 
VOTERS ARE VERY 
IMPORTANT TO 
HARNESS IN FOR 
EITHER THE BIDEN 
OR TRUMP 
CAMPAIGNS. 
IF THEY ARE 
LOOKING FOR YOU 
CAN IS ASSESS IN 
PENNSYLVANIA, WE 
ARE ON THE 
BORDER OF 
COLUMBIA AND 
LUTHERAN 
COUNTIES, HERE 
WHERE THEY 
PRODUCE THAT 
PRODUCT YOU JUST 
SAW. 
THE TRAILERS ALL 
BEHIND ME. 
THE WORKERS 
COMMUTE ABOUT A 
50-MILE RADIUS, 
SO THEY ARE VERY 
REPRESENTATIVE 
OF WHAT THIS 
REGION OF 
NORTHEAST 
PENNSYLVANIA 
LOOKS LIKE AND 
WHAT THEY ARE 
THINKING ABOUT 
WHEN THEY VOTE 
IN NOVEMBER. 
WHAT IS REALLY 
IMPORTANT ABOUT 
THIS REGION, 
SPECIFICALLY, I 
WANT TO SHOW YOU 
SOME DATA OF 
WHAT HAPPENED IN 
2012 VERSUS 
2016. 
IT IS 
FASCINATING. 
BECAUSE 
BASICALLY YOU 
SEE THE NUMBERS 
FLIP-FLOP N2012 
THE REGION 
LARGELY WENT FOR 
PRESIDENT OBAMA. 
AND THEN THE 
MARGIN OF ABOUT 
12% THEN FLIPPED 
AND WENT FOR 
PRESIDENT TRUMP 
IN 2016 AS HE 
PROMISED FOR 
THESE INCREASES 
IN JOBS AND THE 
FOCUS ON 
MANUFACTURING 
AND SO THIS 
REGION OF 
PENNSYLVANIA 
LARGELY CARRIED 
THE STATE FOR 
PRESIDENT TRUMP 
BACK IN 2016. 
REMEMBER HE JUST 
WON PENNSYLVANIA 
BY 44,000 VOTES, 
A SLIM MARGIN 
AND A BULK OF 
THOSE VOTES CAME 
FROM THIS AREA 
OF THE 
BATTLEGROUND 
STATE. 
SO WE ARE GOING 
TO SEE. 
>> Reporter: 
LIKE WE SAW 
BIDEN WAS IN 
PENNSYLVANIA. 
VICE PRESIDENT 
PENCE IS HERE 
TODAY AND 
PRESIDENT TRUMP 
WILL BE HERE 
LATER THIS WEEK. 
PEOPLE TEND TO 
THINK IF YOU CAN 
FOCUS IN ON 
PENNSYLVANIA 
THAT IS 
REPRESENTATIVE 
OF WHAT WE ARE 
GOING TO SEE IN 
TERMS OF WINNING 
THE PRESIDENCY. 
A NOTE THAT WE 
HAVE LEARNED 
THIS WEEK, THE 
TRUMP CAMPAIGN 
ACTUALLY ISN'T 
SPENDING ANY 
MONEY ON AIR 
RIGHT NOW 
ADVERTISE NOT 
GUILTY 
PENNSYLVANIA, 
AND THEIR 
CAMPAIGN IS 
SAYING ON A 
PRESS CALL 
YESTERDAY THEY 
BELIEVE THEY 
ONLY NEED TO WIN 
ONE OF THE THREE 
MAJOR 
BATTLEGROUND 
STATES, 
PENNSYLVANIA, 
WISCONSIN OR 
MICHIGAN TO HOLD 
STRONG ON THE 
PRESIDENCY. 
BUT AS YOU HEARD 
CLEARLY FROM 
THESE VOTERS WE 
HAVE BEEN 
SPEAKING TO, 
THERE IS A LOT 
OF QUESTIONS 
LEFT UNANSWERED 
FROM PRESIDENT 
TRUMP AND VICE 
PRESIDENT BIDEN. 
SO VOTERS HERE 
ARE TELLING ME 
THEY ARE REALLY 
LOOKING FORWARD 
TO HEARING WHAT 
BOTH CANDIDATES 
HAVE TO SAY IN 
THE UPCOMING 
DEBATES. 
SAVANNAH? 
>> YES, SO 
INTERESTING TO 
HEAR FROM SO 
MANY PEOPLE 
UNDECIDED WHAT 
THEY KNEW WHAT 
THEY WANTED TO 
DO BACK IN 2016. 
THANK YOU SO 
MUCH. 
>>> A MAJOR 
CALIFORNIA MEAT 
PACKING PLANT 
HAS BEEN ORDERED 
TO SHUT DOWN FOR 
A WEEK AFTER 
EIGHT WORKERS 
DIED FROM THE 
CORONAVIRUS AND 
NEARLY 400 
OTHERS TESTED 
POSITIVE. 
JACOB ORR JOINS 
ME OUTSIDE THE 
FOSTER FARMS 
POULTRY PLANT IN 
LIVINGSTON, 
CALIFORNIA. 
EIGHT WORKERS 
FROM ONE PLANT, 
THAT IS TRAGIC. 
WHAT ARE WE 
LEARNING ABOUT 
THIS AND HOW IT 
STARTED? 
>> YOU KNOW, 
SAVANNAH, 
STANDING HERE AS 
I AM IN MEASED, 
COUNTY, HUGE 
AGRICULTURE 
COMES OUT OF 
HERE. 
ONE OF THE 
BIGGEST IS 
FOSTER FARMS, 
WHICH PRODUCES 
HUGE NUMBERS OF 
POULTRY PRODUCTS 
OUT OF HERE. 
THE SMELL HERE 
IS THAT OF 
BOILED CHICKEN. 
YOU CAN JUST 
SENSE THE 
ENORMITY OF THIS 
EMPLOYER ACROSS 
THIS TOWN. 
UNFORTUNATELY, 
TWO MONTHS AGO 
AN OUTBREAK WAS 
DECLARED HERE BY 
COUNTY HEALTH 
OFFICIALS AND 
THEY HAVE GONE 
ON TO CALL THIS 
THE LONGEST 
LASTING AND MOST 
SEVERE OUTBREAK 
IN THE COUNTY, 
WITH NEARLY 400 
PEOPLE TESTING 
POSITIVE AND 
EIGHT PEOPLE 
DEAD. 
THIS IS A 
DISASTER. 
YOU SHOULD KEEP 
IN MIND WE ARE 
TALKING HERE 
ABOUT AN 
INDUSTRY IN 
WHICH, IF ONE 
PERSON DIES ON 
THE JOB FROM 
SOMETHING LIKE 
HEAT EXHAUSTION 
OR IS KILLED BY 
THE MACHINERY, 
THEN THE FACTORY 
WOULD HAVE SHUT 
DOWN. 
BUT IT HAS TAKEN 
EIGHT DEATHS 
BEFORE A 
SHUTDOWN ORDER 
HAS GONE INTO 
POLICE. 
TONIGHT THAT 
BEGINS SIX DAYS 
OF SHUTTING 
DOWN, AT SOME 
POINT THE 
COMPANY SAYS 
THEY ARE GOING 
TO HAVE A CLEAN 
SLATE AND START 
OVER WITH NEW 
PROCEDURES AND 
HOPEFULLY AN 
ENTIRELY CLEAN 
EMPLOYEE BASE 
HERE, SAVANNAH. 
>>> SO I MEAN, 
IS THAT THE PLAN 
TO GET THIS 
UNDER CONTROL? 
IS SIX DAYS 
ENOUGH? 
>> I KNOW. 
THAT IS REALLY 
THE QUESTION. 
AS WE KNOW THE 
INCUBATION 
PERIOD HERE IS 
14 DAYS. 
I WANT TO READ 
YOU A LITTLE BIT 
OF THE STATEMENT 
THEY SENT US 
ABOUT THEIR 
PLANS FOR GOING 
OUT AND DOING 
THIS, MAKING IT 
BETTER. 
THE COMPANY SAYS 
DURING THE TIME, 
DURING THIS TIME 
THE COMPANY IS 
GOING TO DEEP 
CLEAN THE 
FACILITY. 
AND IS GOING TO 
DO TWO ROUNDS OF 
COVID-19 TESTING 
COVERING ALL 
1400 PLANT 
EMPLOYEES. 
FOSTER FARMS IS 
PAYING EMPLOYEES 
DURING THE TIME 
THE PLANT IS 
CLOSING DURING 
THE TWO DAYS OF 
TESTING. 
THAT IS OF 
COURSE GOOD 
NEWS. 
IN A LONG LIST 
THEY PROVIDED US 
THEY ARE GOING 
TO PROVIDE FACE 
MASKS TO 
EMPLOYEES, 
EXPANDING 
PERSONAL 
HYGIENE, 
INSTALLING 
DIVIDERS IN THE 
BREAK ROOMS. 
BUT AGAIN THIS 
OUTBREAK HAS 
GONE ON FOR AT 
LEAST TWO 
MONTHS. 
EVERY EMPLOYEE 
OF FOSTER FARM 
WAS TOLD TO COME 
BACK TO WORK, TO 
WEAR FACE MASKS 
BUT SUMMONING 
THEM BACK. 
SO THE WHEELS OF 
THIS PLANT HAVE 
CONTINUED TO 
TURN THROUGHOUT 
THIS CRISIS AND 
IS ONLY NOW TWO 
MONTHS AFTER THE 
OUTBREAK WAS 
FIRST DECLARED 
THEY ARE GOING 
TO SHUT DOWN FOR 
SIX DAYS IN THE 
HOPES OF GETTING 
A FRESH START 
HERE. 
>>> YOU HAVE 
BEEN TALKING TO 
THE EXECUTIVE 
DIRECTOR OF A 
NONPROFIT WHO 
HAS BEEN TALKING 
TO FOSTER FARMS 
EMPLOYEES. 
HOW DO THOSE 
WORKERS FEEL 
ABOUT ALL THIS? 
ARE THEY GOING 
TO FEEL SAFE 
COMING BACK TO 
WORK? 
DO THEY THINK 
SIX DAYS IS 
ENOUGH TO GET AN 
OUTBREAK UNDER 
CONTROL? 
OTHER. 
>> THIS IS THE 
THING. 
WE HAVE TRIED TO 
SPEAK DIRECTLY 
TO EMPLOYEES AT 
THE PLANT BUT NO 
ONE WILL SPEAK 
TO US. 
THIS IS THE 
TOWN'S ARGUABLY 
LARGEST EMPLOYER 
MAYBE EVEN THE 
COUNTY'S LARGEST 
EMPLOYER. 
AND IT IS 
TREMENDOUSLY 
INFLUENTIAL. 
PEOPLE HERE WHO 
WORK HERE ARE, 
IN MANY CASES, 
TAKING A STEP UP 
FROM HAVING 
WORKED IN THE 
FIELD WHERE THE 
WORK IS 
IRREGULAR. 
IT HAPPENS YOU 
KNOW AT STRANGE 
HOURS, IS 
UNDERPAID, ALL 
OF THAT. 
THIS IS 
CONSIDERED A 
STEP UP FROM 
THAT. 
ONE OF THE MOST 
INTERESTING 
THINGS IS THIS 
IS ONE OF THE 
CHIEF EMPLOYERS 
WHO HAVE SETTLED 
THIS PART OF 
CALIFORNIA. 
A NONPROFIT 
CALLED CARA IS A 
SUPPORT SYSTEM. 
>> ONE 
PARTICULAR 
WORKER I HAD A 
CHANCE TO ENGAGE 
WITH, [SPEAKING 
FOREIGN 
LANGUAGE]. 
WHICH MEANS THEY 
CALL US 
ESSENTIAL, BUT 
THEY TREAT US AS 
EXPENDABLE. 
>> IT IS REALLY 
JUST 
HEARTBREAKING TO 
HEAR THIS FROM 
PEOPLE WHO ARE 
WORKING SO HARD 
TO KEEP YOU AND 
I FED. 
REMIND US ACROSS 
THE NATION. 
IT IS THE LOWEST 
PAID PEOPLE THAT 
ARE TAKING THE 
HEAVIEST BURDEN 
OF THIS. 
YOU CAN SAY WHY 
IS THE SHUTDOWN 
ONLY FOR SIX 
DAYS? 
WHY DID IT TAKE 
TWO MONTHS TO 
SHUT IT DOWN. 
>>> AND WHY DOES 
THE BURDEN KEEP 
FALLING ON THE 
LOWEST PAID 
AMERICANS? 
>>> A WARNING 
FROM THE 
NATION'S TOP 
INFECTIOUS 
DISEASE EXPERT, 
DR. ANTHONY 
FAUCI TELLING US 
LABOR DAY 
WEEKEND WILL BE 
KEY IN FIGURING 
OUT IF WE CAN 
CONTROL 
CORONAVIRUS IN 
THE FALL. 
LET'S TALK ABOUT 
THE IMPACT THAT 
JUST ONE PARTY 
OR EVENT CAN BE 
SO DANGEROUS. 
I KNOW WE SAW 
SPIKES AFTER 
MEMORIAL DAY AND 
THE FOURTH OF 
JULY. 
HOW CAN JUST 
THESE ONE OFF 
EVENTS BE SO 
DANGEROUS? 
>> I THINK THE 
EASIEST WAY TO 
THINK ABOUT IT 
IS TO THINK 
ABOUT THE 
PROPERTIES AND 
THE PRINCIPLES 
OF THE VIRUS AS 
WE CURRENTLY 
KNOW IT. 
RIGHT NOW, WE 
KNOW THAT THE 
MORE THAT AN 
INDIVIDUAL 
INTERACTS WITH 
SOMEBODY ELSE 
AND THE LONGER 
THAT INTERACTION 
IS, THE GREATER 
THE RISK OF 
SPREAD. 
WE ALSO KNOW 
THAT THE PRIMARY 
MODE OF 
TRANSMISSION IS 
RESPIRATORY 
DROPLETS, 
TALKING, 
LAUGHING, 
COUGHING, 
SNEEZING. 
AND WE ALSO KNOW 
NOW ABOUT 40% OF 
PEOPLE ARE 
ASYMPTOMATIC BUT 
THEY CAN 
TRANSMIT THE 
VIRUS. 
YOU PUT ALL THAT 
TOGETHER AND IT 
IS KIND OF THE 
PERFECT STORM 
FOR WHAT WE CALL 
A SUPER 
SPREADING EVENT. 
THAT IS A 
GATHERING OF 
LARGER GROUPS OF 
PEOPLE IN A 
SETTING WHERE WE 
KNOW THE VIRUS 
CAN TRANSMIT. 
THE SAVING GRACE 
IS MOST LABOR 
DAY ACTIVITIES 
WILL PROBABLY BE 
HELD OUTDOORS OR 
SHOULD BE HELD 
OUTDOORS IF 
POSSIBLE, 
BECAUSE WE KNOW 
THAT WILL 
DEFINITELY 
MITIGATE SOME OF 
THAT RISK. 
>> NOW CAN 
PEOPLE CELEBRATE 
BUT STILL 
PROTECT 
THEMSELVES AND 
OTHERS? 
IS THERE A 
SAFEWAY TO DO 
THAT AND ENJOY 
LABOR DAY? 
>> DEFINITELY. 
SO YOU CAN THINK 
ABOUT IT LAKE 
OVER THE SUMMER, 
FAMILIES HAVE 
BEEN SOCIALIZING 
WITH A SMALLER 
GROUP OF PEOPLE, 
PERHAPS A LITTLE 
BUBBLE, OUTSIDE 
OF THEIR FAMILY 
WITH YOU KNOW, 
SORT OF A 
DEFINING NUMBER 
OF PEOPLE. 
TRY TO MAINTAIN 
THAT, IF YOU CAN 
THIS WEEKEND. 
INSTEAD OF 
BRANCHING OUT 
AND GOING TO 
VISIT TONS OF 
PEOPLE THAT YOU 
MAYBE HAVEN'T 
SEEN ALL SUMMER. 
IT IS ALSO 
IMPORTANT THAT 
WHEN YOU ARE 
WITH YOUR 
FAMILY, YOU CAN 
DEFINITELY 
MINGLE WITH 
PEOPLE FROM 
OTHER FAMILIES. 
BUT IF YOU DO 
SO, YOU HAVE TO 
WEAR A MASK AND 
MAINTAIN THE 
SOCIAL DISTANCE 
OF SIX FEET OR 
PUT THE MASK ON 
OUTSIDE IF YOU 
CAN'T MAINTAIN 
THAT SIX FOOT 
DISTANCE. 
WHAT WE HAVE 
DONE, WITH OUR 
FRIENDS IS YOU 
KNOW, FAMILIES 
WILL BRING THEIR 
OWN FOOD OR 
THEIR OWN SET UP 
ON THE PICNIC 
TABLE, HAVE 
DISPOSABLE 
UTENSILS, THAT 
KIND OF THING. 
ALL THINGS THAT 
ARE VERY CLEARLY 
IN THE CDC 
GUIDANCE WE HAVE 
BEEN TRYING TO 
FOLLOW ALL 
SUMMER. 
>>> NOW LET'S 
TALK TRAVEL 
HEADING INTO A 
HOLIDAY WEEKEND. 
WE HAVE TALKED A 
LOT ABOUT SAFETY 
ON A PLANE. 
BUT WHAT ABOUT 
ROAD TRIPS. 
SHOULD PEOPLE 
AVOID REST 
STOPS. 
HOW SHOULD THEY 
BE PACKING TO 
TRY TO KEEP 
THEMSELVES SAFE? 
>> I THINK THERE 
IS TWO WAYS TO 
THINK ABOUT 
TRAVEL. 
WHAT TO DO 
BEFORE YOU 
TRAVEL AND WHAT 
TO DO WHALE 
TRAVELING. 
BEFORE YOU 
TRAVEL YOU 
REALLY NEED TO 
FIND OUT WHAT 
THE AMOUNT OF 
SPREAD IS IN THE 
DESTINATION THAT 
YOU ARE GOING 
AND ALSO IF 
THERE ARE ANY 
TRAVEL OR 
QUARANTINE 
RESTRICTIONS 
WHERE YOU ARE 
GOING AND WHEN 
YOU COME BACK TO 
YOU KNOW, FROM 
WHERE YOU ARE 
TRAVELING FROM. 
I THINK IT IS 
ALSO SUPER 
IMPORTANT TO 
THINK ABOUT YOUR 
OWN PERSONAL 
RISK AS WELL AS 
PEOPLE YOU LIVE 
WITH. 
YOU DON'T WANT 
TO BRING 
SOMETHING HOME 
TO SOMEONE WHO 
MIGHT BE A 
GREATER RISK WHO 
LIVES IN YOUR 
HOUSEHOLD. 
WHILE TRAVELING, 
THE USUAL YOU 
KNOW, 
RECOMMENDATIONS 
APPLY. 
THAT IS TO HAVE 
YOUR MASK AND 
MAINTAIN YOUR 
DISTANCE AND 
WASH YOUR HANDS 
FREQUENTLY, AND 
HAVE YOUR AT 
LEAST 60% 
ALCOHOL WITH 
YOU. 
IF YOU ARE GOING 
TO A RESTAURANT, 
AND YOU ARE 
USING THE GAS 
PUMP, WIPE IT 
DOWN WITH A 
DISINFECTANT 
CLOTH. 
DEFINITELY WASH 
HANDS AFTER YOU 
DO THAT. 
AND CONSIDER 
BRINGING YOUR 
OWN FOOD. 
SO YOU ARE NOT 
NECESSARILY 
GOING INSIDE BUT 
SOMETHING LIKE A 
DRIVE THROUGH OR 
SOMETHING LIKE 
THAT WOULD BE 
SAFER THAN GOING 
INSIDE. 
EACH TIME YOU 
INCREASE 
EXPOSURE TO 
SERVICES AND TO 
PEOPLE, YOU ARE 
THEORETICALLY 
INCREASING YOUR 
RISK FOR 
CONTRACTING THE 
VIRUS YOURSELF. 
>>> OKAY. 
THANK YOU SO 
MUCH. 
TIPS WE CAN ALL 
USE, GOING INTO 
THIS LONG 
WEEKEND. 
AGAIN, GOOD TO 
SEE YOU. 
. 
>>> COVID-19 
SHUT DOWN THE 
WORLD, 
PRACTICALLY 
OVERNIGHT. 
AS WE LOCKED 
DOWN, SOME OF 
OUR DIRTIEST 
INDUSTRIES 
DISAPPEARED, 
SENDING CARBON 
EMISSIONS 
CRASHING, DEEP 
AND FASTER THAN 
AT ANY POINT IN 
HISTORY. 
BUT A LOT 
HAPPENED WHILE 
WE WERE LOOKING 
THE OTHER WAY 
AND WHAT HAPPENS 
NOW AS THE WORLD 
REOPENS, COULD 
COVID-19 
ACTUALLY HELP 
SAVE THE PLANET? 
THE ANSWER TO 
THAT QUESTION 
STARTS WITH 
COAL. 
IT IS THE SINGLE 
GREATEST 
CONTRIBUTOR OF 
CARBON MONOXIDE 
TO THE 
ATMOSPHERE. 
>> 85 MILLION 
TONS FOR 
INDUSTRY. 
>> Reporter: 40 
YEARS AFTER WE 
FIRST STARTED 
BURNING IT FOR 
POWER, COAL 
STILL POWERS THE 
WORLD. 
BUT THANKS IN 
PART TO 
CORONAVIRUS, 
THINGS ARE 
CHANGING. 
>> HERE IN 
BRITAIN, COAL 
HAS BEEN KING 
FOR GENERATIONS. 
BEHIND ME, RIGHT 
IN THE HEART OF 
LONDON, THIS IS 
THE BATTER SEE 
POWER STATION. 
AT ITS PEAK IT 
WAS SOMETHING 
THE CITY WITH 
ABOUT ONE FIFTH 
OF ITS POWER. 
BRITISH COAL IS 
BEING DETHRONED 
AND THE PANDEMIC 
LOOKS LIKE THE 
NAIL IN THE 
COFFIN FOR THE 
UK'S LAST 
REMAINING COAL 
PLANTS. 
>> THE DEMAND 
WAS SO LOW 
DURING LOCKDOWN 
THAT ALL OF 
BRITAIN'S COAL 
FIRE POWER 
PLANTS WERE 
TAKEN OFF LINE 
AND THAT LED TO 
AN INCREDIBLE 
RECORD. 
MORE THAN TWO 
STRAIGHT MONTHS 
WITHOUT A SINGLE 
LUMP OF COAL, 
BEING BURNED FOR 
ELECTRICITY. 
>>> ADD THAT TO 
OW OUR GLOBAL 
LOCKDOWN AND 
TOTAL CARBON 
MONOXIDE 
EMISSIONS FELL 
TO 17%, THE 
BIGGEST DROP IN 
HISTORY. 
BUT IT WAS JUST 
A DROP IN THE 
BUCKET. 
>>> OKAY, I'M 
READY. 
>> CORRINE LED 
THE BIGGEST 
SCIENTIFIC STUDY 
INTO WHAT 
HAPPENED TO OUR 
EMISSIONS ON 
LOCKDOWN. 
>> 17% BELOW 
2009 EMISSIONS, 
ACTUALLY WAS THE 
LEVEL OF 2006. 
SO IT IS NOT 
THAT FAR AGO. 
THAT JUST SHOWS 
HOW MUCH THE 
EMISSIONS 
INCREASED IN 
SUCH A SHORT 
AMOUNT OF TIME. 
>> Reporter: IN 
OTHER WORDS, 
LOCKING DOWN ONE 
FIFTH OF THE 
PLANET WAS ONLY 
ENOUGH TO TAKE 
US BACK TO THE 
SAME LEVEL OF 
JUST A FEW YEARS 
AGO. 
>> ALTHOUGH THE 
EMISSIONS DID 
DROP BY 17%, WE 
ARE STILL 
EMITTING 83% OF 
THE PAST YEAR. 
SO IN ORDER TO 
TACKLE CLAIM MAT 
CHANGE, THESE 
EMISSIONS HAVE 
TO GO DOWN TO 
ZERO AND WE ARE 
A LONG WAY FROM 
ZERO NOW. 
>>> THE THING 
IS, EMISSIONS 
ARE ALREADY 
ROARING BACK. 
REMEMBER THAT 
17% DROP? 
THAT IS CLOSER 
NOW TO JUST 5%. 
>> BY ITSELF, 
THERE IS NOTHING 
TO TACKLE 
CLIMATE CHANGE. 
IT WASN'T A 
DECREASE THAT IS 
GOING TO CHANGE 
ANYTHING FOR 
CLIMATE. 
>> WE ARE 
GETTING FURTHER 
PROOF OF THAT 
FROM CHINA. 
WHERE EMISSIONS 
IN MAY WERE 
AROUND 5% HIGHER 
THAN LAST YEAR. 
THE FEAR IS, AS 
OUR STREETS GET 
BACK TO NORMAL, 
OUR EMISSIONS 
WILL, TOO. 
AND CLIMATE 
SCIENTISTS SAY 
THAT IS 
SOMETHING WE 
CAN'T AFFORD. 
BECAUSE WHILE WE 
WERE FOCUSED ON 
SOLVING ONE 
CRISIS, THE 
WORLD'S OTHER 
EMERGENCY, 
CLIMATE CHANGE, 
WASN'T GETTING 
ANY BETTER. 
THE ARCTIC WAS 
SO HOT, IT WAS 
LITERALLY ON 
FIRE. 
DEFOREST STATION 
IN THE BRAZILIAN 
AMAZON SOARED BY 
5% IN THE FIRST 
FOUR MONTHS OF 
THE YEAR. 
DISPOSABLE 
PLASTIC IS 
EVERYWHERE 
AGAIN. 
AND CRITICS SAY 
THE LOOMING 
ECONOMIC 
RECESSION BECAME 
THE PERFECT 
COVER FOR SOME 
GOVERNMENTS TO 
ROLL BAKKEN 
VIOLENT AL 
REGULATIONS. 
>> WE ARE 
OPENING UP OUR 
COUNTRY AGAIN. 
OUR ECONOMY. 
IT IS GOING TO 
COME BACK VERY, 
VERY STRONG. 
>> GINA MCCARTHY 
WAS THE HEAD OF 
THE EPA UNDER 
PRESIDENT OBAMA. 
>> WHAT IS THE 
TRUMP 
ADMINISTRATION 
UP TO WHEN IT 
COMES TO THE 
ENVIRONMENT 
RIGHT NOW? 
I CAN'T I GUESS 
MY DAD WOULD SAY 
THEY ARE UP TO 
NO GOOD. 
>> IN JUST A FEW 
MONTHS, 
PRESIDENT TRUMP 
WEAKENED A 
SERIES OF 
ENVIRONMENTAL 
PROTECTIONS, 
INCLUDING 
SUSPENDING LAWS 
MEANT TO PUNISH 
INDUSTRIES FOR 
AIR POLLUTION. 
THE 
ADMINISTRATION 
SAYS IT WAS 
ABOUT EASING RED 
TAPE DURING THE 
PANDEMIC. 
>> I THINK IT IS 
CLEAR TO SAY 
THEY ARE TAKING 
SOME OF THE 
BIGGEST LEAPS 
FORWARD TO UNDO 
FUNDAMENTAL 
PUBLIC HEALTH 
PROTECTIONS. 
AT THIS MOMENT, 
BECAUSE WE ARE 
SO FOCUSED ON A 
PUBLIC HEALTH 
CRISIS, WHICH IS 
THE CORONAVIRUS. 
>> WE ARE GOING 
TO FILL IT RIGHT 
UP TO THE TOP. 
SAVING THE 
AMERICAN 
TAXPAYER 
BILLIONS AND 
BILLIONS OF 
DOLLARS, HELPING 
OUR OIL 
INDUSTRY. 
>> HOW DOES 
OKLAHOMA FEEL 
ABOUT BEING 
PETROLEUM FREE? 
NOT GOOD. 
>> THAT IS WHAT 
MAKES IT SO 
INSIDIOUS AND 
UPSETTING. 
YOU WOULD EXPECT 
THAT LEADERSHIP, 
AT A TIME OF 
CRISIS LIKE THIS 
WOULD HUNKER 
DOWN AND SAY 
OKAY, HOW DO WE 
KEEP PEOPLE MOST 
PROTECTED. 
INSTEAD, YOU ARE 
SEEING THIS 
ADMINISTRATION 
ROLLING BACK 
FUNDAMENTAL 
PROTECTIONS, 
INCLUDING 
PROTECTIONS OF 
AIR POLLUTION 
THAT MAKE PEOPLE 
MORE VULNERABLE 
TO THE IMPACTS 
OF COVID-19. 
>> THE EPA WOULD 
NOT GO ON RECORD 
IN RESPONSE BUT 
THE AGENCY DID 
TELL US IT 
COMPLETELY 
REJECTS 
CRITICISM IT IS 
USING 
CORONAVIRUS TO 
ROLL BAKKEN 
VIOLENT AL 
PROTECTIONS. 
EVEN BEFORE THE 
PANDEMIC, 
SCIENTISTS AND 
STUDENTS ALIKE 
WERE TELLING US 
YOU ARE RUNNING 
OUT OF TIME. 
>> WE WANT THE 
FUTURE. 
IS THAT TOO MUCH 
TO ASK? 
>> CORONAVIRUS 
HAS MADE THEIR 
MESSAGE EVEN 
MORE URGENT. 
IN FACT, EXPERTS 
SAY A CLIMATE 
TIPPING POINT 
MIGHT ONLY BE A 
FEW MONTHS AWAY. 
THAT IS BECAUSE 
GOVERNMENTS 
AROUND THE WORLD 
WILL SPEND $9 
TRILLION THIS 
YEAR. 
THE SCALE OF 
SPENDING MAY 
NEVER HAPPEN 
AGAIN AND THE 
TYPE OF RECOVERY 
THEY CHOOSE 
COULD LOCK IN 
OUR PATH FOR THE 
NEXT 30 YEARS. 
>>> THE 
DECISIONS WILL 
DETERMINE THE 
FUTURE. 
AND THEY HAVE 
SIX MONTHS TO 
MAKE THE RIGHT 
DECISIONS. 
>> Reporter: IN 
SOME PLACES, 
CHANGE IS 
HAPPENING. 
IN EUROPE THE EU 
JUST PASSED WHAT 
IT CALLS THE 
BIGGEST GREEN 
STIMULUS IN 
HISTORY. 
HUNDREDS OF 
BILLIONS TO 
PRIORITIZE CLEAN 
ENERGY AND 
TRANSPORT. 
AND SOME CHANGES 
ARE ALL AROUND 
US. 
IN THE WAY WE 
WORK, WHAT WE 
EAT, AND HOW WE 
TRAVEL. 
CORONAVIRUS IS 
EVEN GLEANING 
OUR CITIES, FROM 
NEW YORK TO 
LONDON. 
AT LEAST IN THE 
WAYS WE LOOK TO 
SOCIAL DISTANCE. 
>> THE UK IS ONE 
OF SEVERAL 
GOVERNMENTS 
BUILDING MILES 
AND MILES OF NEW 
BIKE LANES. 
PART OF THE IDEA 
IS CYCLING IS 
ONE OF THE 
SAFEST WAYS TO 
GET AROUND 
DURING A 
PANDEMIC. 
IT IS ALSO ONE 
OF THE MOST 
VISIBLE SIGNS 
THAT OUR 
RESPONSE TO THE 
CORONAVIRUS IS 
PAVING THE WAY 
FOR A GREENER 
FUTURE. 
>> TO CHANGE OUR 
COURSE ON 
CLIMATE, WE'LL 
NEED TO THINK 
BIGGER. 
THE WORLD IS 
REBUILDING. 
THE QUESTION IS 
STILL HOW. 
WHILE THE FOG 
STATIONS BATTLE 
IT OUT, 
ACTIVISTS SAY 
THE ANSWER IS 
CLEAR. 
WE CAN'T GO BACK 
TO THE WAY 
THINGS USED TO 
BE. 
>>> IF YOUR 
HOUSE FELL DOWN 
ONE DAY, YOU 
WOULD REBUILD 
IT. 
AND YOU WOULD 
REBUILD THE 
THINGS THAT YOU 
LOVE. 
BUT YOU WOULDN'T 
NOT FIX THE 
DRAFTY WINDOWS. 
>>> SO DID COVID-
19 HELP SAVE THE 
PLANET. 
>> NO IT DID 
NOT. 
BUT IT STILL 
COULD. 
>>> WHAT WE NEED 
TO DO TODAY IS 
MOVE FORWARD 
TOGETHER AS A 
COUNTRY AND GRAB 
THE FOUGHT. 
LIKE THE UNITED 
STATES HAS 
ALWAYS DONE. 
SINCE WHEN DO WE 
EVER GIVE UP AND 
WE CAN'T DO IT 
HERE. 
I'M MORE HELPFUL 
THAN EVER WE 
HAVE SOLUTIONS 
THAT WILL BRING 
US TO A 
HEALTHIER FUTURE 
THAT WILL 
ADDRESS CLIMATE 
CHANGE IN THE 
WINDOW. 
>>> CORONAVIRUS 
WAS LIKE A DRESS 
REHEARSAL FOR 
CLIMATE CHANGE. 
A WORLD WEBSITE 
THREAT DEMANDING 
COLLECTIVE 
CHANGE. 
CAN WE APPLY THE 
LESSONS WE HAVE 
LEARNED TO THE 
OTHER GLOBAL 
EMERGENCY. 
THE ANSWER TO 
THAT QUESTION 
WILL DIRECTLY 
SHAPE THE FUTURE 
OF THE PLANET. 
AMONG THE CHAOS, 
I FOUND A FATHER 
TRYING TO TEACH 
HIS SON ABOUT 
PEACE.
>>> PROTESTERS 
FEEL THEY NEED 
TO COME OUT IN 
FULL FORCE AND 
SUPPORT THEIR 
COMMUNITY, 
BECAUSE THEY 
FEEL LIKE THEY 
ARE NOT GETTING 
THAT SUPPORT 
FROM THE POLICE. 
>>> ANOTHER 
ELECTION DAY 
COMING UP 
AGAINST THE 
BACKDROP OF HOW 
TO KEEP VOTERS 
SAFE AMID A 
PANDEMIC. 
>> THE MOMENT TO 
TRULY UNDERSTAND 
WHO WE ARE AND 
WHO WE SAY WE 
ARE IS RIGHT 
HERE AT OUR 
FEET. 
>>> YOU HAVE TO 
GET A FOUR YEAR 
DEGREE. 
IT IS SUPER 
EXPENSIVE. 
WE HAVE CREATED 
A SYSTEM WHERE 
THE TICKET TO 
THE MIDDLE CLASS 
IS A THING THAT 
MIDDLE CLASS 
FAMILIES HAVE TO 
STRESS ABOUT AND 
BORROW FOR AND 
PATCH TOGETHER. 
>>> WHY IS THIS 
HAPPENING? 
SUBSCRIBE NOW. 
>>> TODAY'S 
HEADLINES SHOULD 
BE HARD TO 
UNDERSTAND AND A 
LOT OF KIDS HAVE 
QUESTIONS. 
SO WE STARTED A 
NEWSCAST FOR 
THEM.

FAMILY WILL 
WATCH NIGHTLY 
NEWS, KIDS

>>> YOU ARE 
WATCHING NBC 
NEWS NOW. 
>> WE HAVE SOME 
BREAKING NEWS. 
WE SAW A LARGE 
CONVOY OF THE

COME THROUGH 
HERE. 
>>> IT IS NEWS, 
MADE FOR YOUR 
STREAMING WORLD. 
LIVE WEEKDAYS, 
STARTING AT 6:00 
A.M. 
EASTERN. 
>>> THIS MORNING 
ACROSS THE 
COUNTRY WHAT THE 
NEW NORMALS FOR

THIS IS A MOMENT 
WE SHOULD 
DEVELOP 
OURSELVES.

>> HERE IN 
PORTLAND, MORE 
PROTESTS 
EXPECTED 
TONIGHT. 
>>> DO YOU THINK 
POLICE IN THIS 
COUNTRY ARE 
UNDER ATTACK? 
>> THE NEWS 
BUSINESS HAS 
PROBABLY NEVER 
BEEN MORE 
IMPORTANT. 
WITH ALL THEY 
ARE FACING I AM 
SO PROUD TO 
BRING THE 
PERSPECTIVE OF A 
BLACK WOMAN, THE 
DAUGHTER OF 
IMMIGRANTS, THE 
WIFE AND MOTHER 
OF A HUSBAND AND 
KIDS, SADLY, ARE 
MORE VULNERABLE 
TO POLICE 
VIOLENCE BECAUSE 
OF THEIR COLOR, 
A PROUD NERD AND 
I BRING IT TO 
CABLE NEWS. 
>>> MY NAME IS 
NATALIE AND I 
WOULD LOVE TO BE 
YOUR PEN PAL. 
>> WHILE MOST OF 
US AREN'T FOND OF
FOND OF OF 
MONDAY, SHE 
LOVES IT. 
>> THE 
UNBELIEVABLE 
IDEA THAT THAT 
MANY PEOPLE 
WOULD WANT TO 
CONTACT ME. 
IT IS SOMETHING 
I NEVER 
EXPECTED. 
>> WHEN THE 
CORONAVIRUS 
PANDEMIC FORCED 
VISITOR 
RESTRICTIONS AT 
ASSISTED LIVING 
FACILITIES 
ACROSS THE 
COUNTRY, THOSE 
ON THE INSIDE 
QUICKLY BECAME 
ISOLATED AND 
GREW LONELY. 
>> THERE FOR 
AWHILE, THIS WAS 
ROUGH. 
WE HAD TO STAY 
IN OUR ROOMS. 
WE COULD NOT GO 
OUT, AROUND THE 
BUILDING. 
>> DURING TIMES 
LIKE THIS, I 
MISS MY WIFE. 
>> I HAVE MISSED 
SEEING MY 
FAMILY, AND I 
MISS SEEING MY 
FRIENDS. 
>> VICTORIAN 
SENIOR CARE 
WANTED TO GIVE 
THEIR RESIDENTS 
A WAY TO CONNECT 
WITH THE OUTSIDE 
WORLD. 
SO THEY BEGAN 
THEIR SEARCH FOR 
PEN PALS ON 
SOCIAL MEDIA. 
>> WE GOT THEM 
TO TELL US A 
LITTLE BIT ABOUT 
WHERE SPECIFIC 
INTERESTS WERE 
PRIOR TO 
WRITING. 
AND THEN ABOUT 
12 HOURS AFTER 
POSTING THE POST 
WENT VIRAL. 
>> I DID NOT 
EXPECT TO SEE 
OVER 3000 
LETTERS I AM SO 
GRATEFUL TO 
EVERYONE WHO 
RESPONDED. 
>> DELIVERIES 
POURED IN TO ALL 
50 STATES, AND 
EVEN FROM AROUND 
THE WORLD. 
>> ENGLAND, 
FRANCE, GERMANY, 
ECUADOR, MEXICO. 
>> THERE ARE SO 
MANY I THINK I 
WOULD BE 203 
BEFORE I COULD 
GO THROUGH THEM 
ALL. 
>>> PEOPLE HAVE 
SENT ALONG ALL 
SORTS OF GIFTS. 
BUT SOME 
PACKAGES 
CONTAINED 
PRICELESS TRIPS 
DOWN MEMORY 
LANES. 
JANICE RECEIVED 
A LETTER FROM A 
GRADUATE OF HER 
OWN ALMA MATER. 
>> I STARTED 
LOOKING THROUGH 
THEM AND TRIED 
TO FIND SOMEBODY 
I COULD CONNECT 
WITH. 
>> THAT IS WHEN 
SHE FOUND 
JANICE. 
>> ONE LETTER 
CAME FROM 
LINCOLN, 
NEBRASKA. 
AND SO I WAS 
ABLE TO SAY TO 
HER, GO BIG RED. 
>> AND DESPITE 
THEIR 75 YEAR 
AGE GAP, THEY 
BOTH SHARE A 
LOVE OF 
TRAVELING. 
AND OF COURSE, 
THEIR BELOVED 
CORNHUSKERS. 
>> EVEN THOUGH I 
AM 102, A LOT OF 
PEOPLE STILL 
UNDERSTAND THAT 
PEOPLE WHO ARE 
AGED, LIKE I AM, 
ARE YOU KNOW,

STILL ENJOY ALL 
THE THINGS THAT

AND THAT IS NOT 
HARD WHEN YOU 
LOOK AROUND AND 
YOU SEE THE

A FEW OF THEM 
HAVE BROUGHT 
TEARS TO MY

LIGHT THERE IN 
THE CAROLINAS. 
 
VIRUS.
THIS MORNING TOP U.S.
 
SOUNDING THE ALARM.
AMERICANS NEED TO BE CAREFUL 
THIS LABOR DAY WEEKEND OR RISK 
KICK STARTING THE SURGE OF 
CORONAVIRUS CASES IN THE FALL.
>> LABOR DAY IS COMING UP AND WE
NEED TO STRESS PERSONAL 
RESPONSIBILITY.
>> Reporter: ON TUESDAY HHS
. 
>> ON TUESDAY, 
HHS ASSISTANT 
SECRETARY JARED 
TALKING TO 
REPORTERS. 
>> WE HAVE TO GO 
INTO THE FALL 
WITH DECREASING 
CASES LIKE WE'RE 
DOING NOW. 
WE CAN'T RISK A 
LACK OF PERSONAL 
RESPONSIBILITIES. 
>> HIS WARNING 
COMING AFTER DR. 
ANTHONY FAUCI 
REPORTEDLY TOLD 
THE WHITE HOUSE 
MEETING OF 
GOVERNORS THAT 
THE HOLIDAY WILL 
DETERMINE IF THE 
U.S. IS ABLE TO 
GET A RUNNING 
START IN 
BATTLING THE 
DISEASE IN FALL. 
CORONAVIRUS 
CASES AND 
HOSPITALIZATIONS 
ARE DOWN 
NATIONWIDE SINCE 
THEIR PEAK IN 
JULY. 
BUT OFFICIALS 
ARE HOPING TO 
PREVENT ANOTHER 
UPTICK, LIKE THE 
ONE SEEN AFTER 
MEMORIAL DAY 
WHEN SOCIAL 
DISTANCING 
GUIDELINES WERE 
IGNORED AT POOL 
PARTIES LIKE 
THIS ONE AT THE 
LAKE OF THE 
OZARKS. 
AND AFTER THE 
FOURTH OF JULY 
WHEN PEOPLE 
FLOCKED TO I HAD 
CREDITED BEACHES 
TO ESCAPE THE 
HEAT. 
DANGEROUS 
OUTBREAKS IN 
STATES LIKE IOWA 
ARE ALREADY 
RAISING CONCERNS 
ABOUT THE NEXT 
FEW MONTHS. 
THERE THE COUNTY 
WITH THE MOST 
NUMBER OF 
CORONAVIRUS 
CASES HAS HIGH 
COLLEGE 
POPULATIONS. 
THEY ARE CALLING 
FOR RANDOM 
TESTING OF 
STUDENTS AND 
STAFF INCLUDING 
PUBLIC SCHOOL 
WHERE THE START 
DATE OF IN CLASS 
LEARNS HAND BEEN 
PUSHED BACK. 
THIS AS THE 
LATEST TEAM TO 
ENTER THE FINAL 
ROUND OF TESTING 
VACCINE ENTERS. 
JACOB IS THE 
FIRST AMERICAN 
TO BE DOSED WITH 
THE VACCINE 
CANDIDATE OR A 
PLACEBO. 
7 MEMBERS OF HIS 
FAMILY LOST 
THEIR LIVES TO 
THE VIRUS. 
>> DO YOU THINK 
WHAT IS DOING 
NOW COULD 
PREVENT FUTURE 
FATALITIES. 
>> I DON'T 
BELIEVE ANYONE 
DESERVES TO LOSE 
THEIR LIFE. 
ESPECIALLY IF IT 
IS A VIRUS WE 
CAN STOP. 
>> THIS MORNING, 
A GLIMMER OF 
HOPE AFTER SO 
MUCH HEART BREAK 
AROUND THE 
WORLD. 
>> ALTHOUGH THIS 
POSSIBLE VACCINE 
WOULDN'T BE 
AVAILABLE IN 
TIME FOR THE 
FALL, 
RESEARCHERS HOPE 
TO KNOW HOW 
EFFECTIVE IT IS 
BY THANKSGIVING. 
IF SO, IT COULD 
BE AVAILABLE TO 
HEALTH CARE 
WORKERS AND THE 
VULNERABLE 
GETTING IT 
FIRST. 
>> YOU HAVE SOME 
INFORMATION 
ABOUT MAYBE A 
REPRIEVE FOR 
THOSE FACING 
EVICTION. 
>> THERE IS A 
HALT FOR PEOPLE 
THROUGH DECEMBER 
FOR THOSE WHO 
HAVE LOST THEIR 
JOB THROUGH THE 
PANDEMIC AND 
DON'T HAVE OTHER 
GOOD HOUSING 
OPTIONS. 
THE AGENCY IN 
ITS ORDER SAYS 
PRESENTS A 
HISTORIC THREAT 
TO PUBLIC 
HEALTH. 
>> ALL RIGHT. 
MIGUEL, THANK 
YOU. 
>>> I BELIEVE 
THAT BY THE TIME 
WE GET TO THE 
END OF THIS 
CALENDAR YEAR, 
THAT WE WILL 
FEEL COMFORTABLE 
THAT WE HAVE A 
SAFE AND 
EFFECTIVE 
VACCINE. 
>> DR. ANTHONY 
FAUCI IS 
POSITIVE THAT A 
COVID-19 VACCINE 
IS ON THE WAY. 
TALKING ABOUT 
THE WAY TO GET 
ONE TO THE 
PUBLIC MORE 
QUICKLY THROUGH 
AN EMERGENCY 
AUTHORIZATION. 
>> I WOULD NOT 
COMFORTABLE WITH 
A VACCINE UNLESS 
IT WAS SHOWN IN 
A CLINICAL TRIAL 
TO BE SAFE AND 
EFFECTIVE. 
I HAVE BEEN 
THROUGH A NUMBER 
OF VACCINE 
TRIALS IN WHICH 
EUAs HAVE BEEN 
DONE BUT THEY 
WERE DONE WHEN 
THERE WAS ENOUGH 
THREAT THAT YOU 
WOULD FEEL 
COMFORTABLE THAT 
IT WAS SAFE AND 
EFFECTIVE FOR 
THE AMERICAN 
PUBLIC. 
>> AS COVID 
CASES SPIKE ON 
COLLEGE 
CAMPUSES, 
SCHOOLS ARE 
STRUGGLING WITH 
WHAT TO DO WITH 
INFECTED 
STUDENTS. 
>> SO THE CAMPUS 
IS SHUT DOWN AND 
THE KIDS GO 
HOME. 
>> IT IS THE 
WORST THING THAT 
YOU COULD DO. 
KEEP THEM AT THE 
UNIVERSITY IN A 
PLACE THAT IS 
SEQUESTERED 
ENOUGH FROM 
OTHER STUDENTS. 
BUT DON'T LET 
THEM GO HOME. 
THEY COULD BE 
SPREADING IF IN 
THEIR HOME 
STATE. 
>> LABOR DAY IS 
COMING UP. 
WE SAW AN 
INCREASE IN 
HOLIDAY WEEKENDS 
IN THE PAST. 
ARE YOU 
CONCERNED ABOUT 
THIS WEEKEND. 
>> WHEN YOU HAVE 
A DAY LIKE LABOR 
DAY WE HAVE SEEN 
AFTER THE FOURTH 
OF JULY WE SAW 
AFTER MEMORIAL 
DAY A SURGE IN 
CASES. 
WEAR A MASK, 
KEEP SOCIAL 
DISTANCING. 
AVOID CROWDS. 
YOU CAN AVOID 
THOSE KIND OF 
SURGES. 
YOU DON'T WANT 
TO BE SOMEONE 
WHO IS PROP YOU 
WHO IS PART EVER 
THE PROBLEM. 
BE PART OF THE 
PROBLEM. 
>> ARE YOU 
CONCERNED ABOUT 
A TWINDEMIC AS 
THEY SAY. 
>> I AM. 
WHAT I WOULD 
LIKE TO SEE IS A 
FULL COURT PROS 
TO GET US WAY 
DOWN AS A 
BASELINE. 
SO WHEN YOU GET 
THESE CASES IN 
THE FALL, THEY 
WON'T SURGE UP. 
THEY WILL BE 
CONTROLLABLE. 
>> BOTTOM LINE 
HE SAYS UNTIL WE 
GET A VACCINE 
THAT IS 
AVAILABLE FOR 
EVERYONE, WE 
CAN'T STRESS 
THIS ENOUGH, WE 
REALLY HAVE TO 
BE CAREFUL. 
THIS LABOR DAY 
WEEKEND IS 
CRITICAL IF WE 
WANT TO TURN 
THINGS AROUND. 
>>> PRESIDENT 
TRUMP 
INTENSIFYING HIS 
CAMPAIGN FOCUSED 
ON LAW AND ORDER 
AFTER BUILDING 
KENOSHA, 
WISCONSIN. 
>> WE WILL HELP 
YOU REBUILD. 
>> NINE DAYS 
AFTER THE 
SHOOTING OF 
JACOB BLAKE, 
PRESIDENT TRUMP 
AND WILLIAM BARR 
SPOKE HERE. 
>> IT IS VERY 
UNFAIR. 
>> DE NOT MEET 
WITH BLAKE'S 
FAMILY BECAUSE 
THE PRESIDENT 
SAYS THEY WANTED 
A LAWYER 
PRESIDENT. 
>> WE WANT 
JUSTICE FOR 
LITTLE BLAKE. 
>> INSTEAD 
BLAKE'S UNCLE 
JOINED A 
GATHERING IN THE 
NEIGHBORHOOD 
WHERE THE 29-
YEAR-OLD BLACK 
MAN WAS SHOT IN  
BACK 7 TIMES BY 
POLICE. 
>> IF YOU WERE 
ABLE TO TALK TO 
THE PRESIDENT, 
WHAT WOULD YOU 
SAY. 
>> IT IS TOO 
LATE. 
HE HAD FOUR 
YEARS THIS THAT 
OFFICE. 
HE ONLY HAD HATE 
COME OUT OF HIS 
MOUTH. 
>> AHEAD OF HIS 
VET. 
PRESIDENT TRUMP 
REFUSE TODAY 
CONDEMN KYLE 
RITTENHOUSE WHO 
POSTED ON LINE 
SUPPORT FOR THE 
PRESIDENT AND 
CHARGED WITH 
SHOOTING AND 
KILLING TWO 
PROTESTERS HERE. 
RITTENHOUSE'S 
ATTORNEY SAYS IT 
WAS SELF 
DEFENSE. 
JOE BIDEN 
BLASTED THE 
PRESIDENT TRUMP, 
BLAMING HIM FOR 
STOKING 
VIOLENCE. 
>> I THINK THE 
WORDS OF A 
PRESIDENT 
MATTER. 
WHEN THEY 
BREATHE HATRED, 
THOSE FOLKS 
HIDING UNDER THE 
ROCKS COME OUT. 
>> IN KENOSHA, 
THE PRESIDENT'S 
SUPPORTERS LINED 
THE STREETS. 
>> I JUST TELL 
HIM TO DO WHAT 
YOU'RE DOING. 
KEEP FIGHTING 
FOR OUR COUNTRY, 
KEEP FIGHTING 
FOR OUR RIGHTS. 
>> BLACK LIVES 
MATTER. 
>> BUT OTHERS 
ARE OUTRAGED AS 
JACOB BLAKE 
REMAINS IN THE 
HOSPITAL, 
PARALYZED. 
>> WHY DO YOU 
THINK THE 
PRESIDENT CAME 
TO KENOSHA. 
>> BECAUSE HE IS 
DIVISIVE. 
IT IS A PHOTO 
OP. 
KENOSHA IS 
STRONG WITHOUT 
DONALD TRUMP. 
>> AS FOR THE 
INVESTIGATION 
INTO THE BLAKE 
SHOOTING, STATE 
AUTHORITIES SAY 
THEY HAVE 
CONDUCTED 88 
INTERVIEWS SO 
FAR AND PLAN TO 
SUBMIT A REPORT 
TO THE LOCAL 
PROSECUTOR 
WITHIN 30 DAYS. 
>> GABE 
GUTIERREZ IN 
KENOSHA, 
WISCONSIN. 
THANK YOU. 
>>> PETER, GOOD 
MORNING. 
WE'VE NOW GOT 
THE DEMOCRATIC 
AND REPUBLICAN 
CONVENTIONS 
BEHIND US. 
THE QUESTION IS 
WOULD THEY 
MATTER? 
DID SOMEBODY GET 
A BUMP IN THE 
POLL. 
WHAT CAN YOU 
TELL US. 
>> THEY GIVES A 
SNAPSHOT OF 
WHERE THE RACE 
STANDS IN THE 
FINAL TWO 
MONTHS. 
THE LATEST POLL 
SHOWS JOE BIDEN 
LEADING 
PRESIDENT TRUMP 
BY 7 POINTS 
NATIONALLY. 
50 TO 43. 
YOU SEE THAT. 
HAS NARROWED 
FROM THE 12-
POINT ADVANTAGE 
IN JUNE. 
AND THEN THE 
POLLING FROM 
GRENELL COLLEGE 
SHOWS BIDEN WITH 
AN 8-POINT LEAD 
NATIONALLY. 
IT WILL BE 
DECIDED IN THE 
KEY SWING 
STATES. 
THESE POLLS SHOW 
THAT THE 
PRESIDENT'S 
STRATEGY TO WOO 
SUBURBAN VOTERS, 
ESPECIALLY 
WOMEN, IS NOT 
WORKING. 
BIDEN LEADS 
AMONG WOMEN BY 
22 POINTS. 
PRESIDENT TRUMP 
IS FAVORED AMONG 
MEN BY 6 POINTS. 
BIDEN'S LEAD 
WITH SUBURBAN 
WOMEN IS 33 
POINTS. 
AS FOR THE 
CORONAVIRUS, 
MOST AMERICANS 
DISAPPROVE OF 
THE PRESIDENT'S 
HANDLING OF THE 
PANDEMIC. 
>> THE 
BATTLEGROUND 
POLLS IS WHERE 
THE ACTION IS 
REALLY. 
GROWING CONCERN 
AS YOU KNOW 
ABOUT THE NUMBER 
OF MAIL-IN 
BALLOTS. 
BUT THE RESULTS 
ON ELECTION 
NIGHT WILL NOT 
BE ONLY DELAYED 
BUT COULD BE 
MISLEADING EARLY 
ON. 
WHAT CAN YOU 
TELL US ABOUT 
THAT. 
>> ELECTION 
EXPERTS HAVE 
WARNED ABOUT 
THIS, THAT 
PRESIDENT TRUMP 
COULD APPEAR TO 
BE AHEAD ON 
ELECTION NIGHT 
BUT COULD LOSE 
ONCE THE MAIL-IN 
BALLOTS ARE 
COMPLETED DAYS 
OR WEEKS LATER. 
ONE DEMOCRATIC 
FIRM IS 
DESCRIBING THIS 
AS A RED MIRAGE. 
THE PRESIDENT IS 
ATTACKING THIS 
NEAT ETWEETING 
RIGGED ELECTION 
QUESTION MARK. 
IF ALL OF THE 
MAIL-IN BALLOTS 
ARE LEGITIMATE, 
IT WON BE 
RIGGED. 
IT COULD BE 
CONFUSING. 
HERE IS HOW IT 
COULD HAPPEN. 
DEMOCRATS VOICED 
MORE CONCERN 
ABOUT THE VIRUS. 
FAR MORE 
DEMOCRATS THAN 
REPUBLICANS ARE 
EXPECTED TO VOTE 
BY MAIL IN THIS 
ELECTION AND 
THOSE BALLOTS 
COULD TAKE 
LONGER TO COUNT. 
>> PETER 
ALEXANDER AT THE 
WHITE HOUSE, 
THANK YOU SO 
MUCH. 
>>> A TUESDAY 
NIGHT TRIUMPH 
FOR 
MASSACHUSETTS 
SENATOR ED 
MARKEY. 
>> THIS CAMPAIGN 
HAS ALWAYS BEEN 
ABOUT THE YOUNG 
PEOPLE OF THIS 
COUNTRY. 
YOU ARE OUR 
FUTURE. 
>> IN THE END OF 
AN UNBEATEN 
STREAK FOR THE 
MOST STORIED 
FAMILY IN 
AMERICAN 
POLITICS WITH 
CHALLENGER 
JOSEPH KENNEDY 
III THE FIRST 
KENNEDY TO LEARN 
A PRIMARY IN 
MASSACHUSETTS IN 
ALMOST 70 YEARS 
IN POLITICS. 
>> WE MAY HAVE 
LOST THE FINAL 
VOTE COUNT 
TONIGHT, BUT WE 
BUILT A 
COALITION THAT 
WILL ENDURE. 
>> THE KENNEDY 
FAMILY HAD WON 
26 PRIMARY RACES 
IN MASSACHUSETTS 
GOING BACK TO 
PRESIDENT JOHN 
F. KENNEDY'S 
FIRST HOUSE RATE 
IN 1946. 
JOE KENNEDY WHO 
REPRESENTS THE  
4th DISTRICT IN 
THE HOUSE 
ENTERED THIS 
RACE AS A 
FAVORITE. 
MANY OF HIS 
SUPPORTERS 
ATTRACTED TO THE 
VALUES THAT HIS 
FAMILY LONG 
REPRESENTED 
HERE. 
>> I THINK ABOUT 
THE HISTORY OF 
THEIR FAMILY. 
WHAT THEY HAVE 
GONE THROUGH. 
WHAT IT KIND OF 
MEANS TO ME. 
>> UH-HUH. 
>> FOR THE BLACK 
MAN. 
>> IT WAS A 74-
YEAR-OLD MARK 
ERUNNING FOR A 
SECOND FULL TERM 
IN THE SENATE 
AFTER MORE THAN 
THREE DECADES IN 
THE HOUSE THAT 
BUILT A GROWING 
COALITION. 
HE HAD HELP FROM 
FELLOW SENATOR 
ELIZABETH WARREN 
AND ALEXANDRIA 
CORTEZ. 
>> AS AOC SAID, 
IT IS NOT YOUR 
AGE BUT THE AGE 
OF YOUR IDEAS. 
AND THEN SHE 
SAID THAT ED 
MARKEY IS THE 
GENERATIONAL 
CHANGE. 
AND IN THIS 
RACE, WHEN IT 
COMES TO IDEAS, 
I'M THE YOUNGEST 
GUY IN THE RACE. 
>> BOWING OUT 
LATE TUESDAY, 
KENNEDY GAVE A 
NOD TO HIS 
FAMILY'S LEGACY. 
>> TO MY FAMILY, 
THE KENNEDY 
FAMILY, YOU ARE 
MY ROLE MODEL. 
YOU ARE MY 
EXAMPLE OF WHAT 
PUBLIC SERVICE 
SHOULD BE. 
>> HODA, KENNEDY 
HAD TO GIVE UP 
HIS HOUSE SEAT 
TO RUN FOR HIS 
SENATE SEAT. 
WE DON'T KNOW 
WHAT HE WILL DO 
NEXT. 
MARK EFFACES 
KEVIN O'CONNOR 
IN THE FALL. 
IT IS A RACE 
THAT HE IS 
HEAVILY FAVORED 
TO WIN IN THIS 
HEAVILY DEMOCRAT 
TICK STATE. 
>> THANK YOU. 
>> GOOD MORNING. 
WILLIE, GOOD 
MORNING. 
THERE'S NO DOUBT 
THIS IS A WILD 
STORY BUT IT IS 
FAR FROM 
HOMELESS. 
EXPERTS SAY IF 
THERE WAS REALLY 
A PERSON IN A 
JET PACK IN THE 
FLIGHT PATH OF 
THOSE PLANES IT 
COULD BE AN 
ABSOLUTE 
DISASTER AND 
THIS MORNING 
INVESTIGATORS 
WANT ANSWER. 
>> IN THE UP 
THINKABLE THINGS 
SPOTTED IN THE 
SKY, THIS ONE 
REACHES NEW 
HEIGHTS. 
>> WE JUST 
PASSED A GUY IN 
A JET PACK. 
>> 1997 OKAY. 
LEFT SIDE OR 
RIGHT SIDE. 
>> OFF THE LEFT 
SIDE. 
MAYBE 300, 300 
YARDS OR SO. 
>> SUNDAY NIGHT 
AN AMERICAN 
AIRLINES PILOT 
ALERTING THE 
FLIGHT TOWER AT 
LAX OF WHAT 
APPEARED TO BE A 
PERSON HOVERING 
AT ROUGHLY 3,000 
FEET. 
FIRST 
UNBELIEVABLE BUT 
THEN A SECOND 
PILOT REPORTED 
THE SAME THING. 
>> WE SAW THE 
GUY PASSING BY 
US WITH THE JET 
PACK. 
>> THE TOWER NOW 
ON ALERT THEN 
WARNS A THIRD 
PILOT. 
>> A PERSON IN A 
JET PACK 
REPORTED. 
>> AVIATION 
EXPERTS SAY 
ANYTHING THAT 
CLOSE TO A 
PLANE'S FINAL 
APPROACH IS 
EXTREMELY 
DAEROUS, 
INCLUDING A 
GROWING LIST OF 
MODERN 
NIGHTMARES 
FACING PILOTS 
FROM DRONES TO 
LASER POINTERS, 
ELEVATING THE 
RISK OF SAFE 
LANDINGS. 
IT WASN'T LONG 
AGO THAT JET 
PACKS WERE PURE 
FICTION. 
NOW THEY'RE A 
NEW FRONTIER FOR 
INVENTORS AND 
DAREDEVILS AND A 
TOY FOR THE 
SUPER RICH. 
NOW CAPABLE OF 
REACHING UP TO 
12,000 FEET. 
A JET POWERED 
HOVER BOARD USED 
ONE TO FLY 
ACROSS THE 
ENGLISH CHANNEL. 
THANKFULLY NO 
ONE WAS HURT 
THIS WEEKEND BUT 
THE F.A.A. HAS 
LAUNCHED AN 
INVESTIGATION. 
A DANGEROUS 
CLOSE ENCOUNTER 
TAILOR MADE. 
>> ONLY IN L.A. 
>> COULD THAT 
GUY FACE 
CHARGES? 
IS THAT LEGAL. 
>> HODA, FIRST 
OF ALL, 
INVESTIGATORS 
WOULD BE QUICK 
TO SAY THEY'RE 
TRYING TO 
DETERMINE IF 
THERE WAS A 
PERSON IN A JET 
PACK IN THE 
FIRST PLACE. 
BUT IF THERE 
WAS, THEY WOULD 
HAVE HAD TO HAVE 
GOTTEN CLEARANCE 
FROM THE F.A.A. 
TO FLY IN SUCH A 
TIGHTLY 
CONTROLLED 
SPACE. 
MEANWHILE THE 
FBI SAYS THEY 
HAVE QUESTIONS 
OF THEIR OWN. 
THEY HAVE OPENED 
AN INVESTIGATION 
THIS MORNING AS 
WELL. 
>> DO THEY KNOW 
WHO IT IS, WHO 
THE PERSON IS? 
>> THEY DO NOT 
KNOW WHO IT IS. 
IT IS STILL A 
MYSTERY AT THIS 
POINT. 
BACK TO. 
>> STEVE 
PATTERSON. 
THANK YOU. 
A LOT OF 
QUESTIONS ON 
THAT ONE. 
>> WORRIED ABOUT 
JET PACKS NOW 
TOO. 
>> LITTLE OWE. 
>> WE HAVE 
ENOUGH TO WORRY 
ABOUT. 
>>> AT A TIME 
THAT MANY 
CUSTOMERS ARE 
CONCERNED ABOUT 
COVID-19 AND 
LOOKING TO AVOID 
CROWDS AT ALL 
COSTS. 
>> SEE THAT 
LINE? 
HI TO WAIT IN 
THAT LINE. 
IF I CAN GET IT 
DELIVERED TO MY 
HOUSE, I WOULD 
DO IT IN A 
MINUTE. 
>> WAL-MART IS 
STEPPING UP ITS 
E-COMMERCE GAME 
OFFERING A $98 
ANNUAL 
SUBSCRIPTION 
CALLED WAL-MART 
PLUS. 
IT WILL SHOPPERS 
ACCESS TO 
SPEEDIER 
DELIVERIES, 
LEVERAGING THE 
STORES ACROSS 
THE COUNTRY, 
HALF OF WHICH 
CAN DROP OFF 
GOODS THE SAME 
DAY. 
FROM FOOD AND 
TOYS AND 
ELECTRONICS, A 
BASKET OF MORE 
THAN 160,000 
ITEMS. 
>> WE HAVE SEEN 
AN INCREASE IN 
PEOPLE WANTING 
DELIVERY, SAME 
DAY OR UP TO 7 
DAYS IN ADVANCE. 
>> A MAJOR PERK 
IN A PANDEMIC. 
BUT THE NEW 
PROGRAM COMES 
WITH A CAVEAT. 
UNLIKE 
COMPETITOR 
AMAZON WHOSE 
PRIME SERVICE 
COMES AT $99 AND 
NO MINIMUM PRICE,
WAL-MART HAS A 
MINIMUM ORDER. 
>> IF YOU'RE 
GETTING A 
CARDBOARD BOX 
FROM WAL-MART, 
YOU HAVE TO GET 
$35 OR MORE. 
>> CNBC RETAIL 
REPORTER MELISSA 
POINTS OUT THAT 
WAL-MART'S 
GROCERY 
FOOTPRINT GIVES 
IT AN EDGE. 
>> YOU WANT TO 
DELIVER TO 
SOMEONE'S DOOR 
PARTICULARLY 
WITH MILK OR 
EGGS YOU NEED TO 
BE CLOSE TO THEM 
AND GET TO THEM 
FAST. 
THAT'S WHAT WAL-
MART IS COUNTING 
ON WITH THIS 
PROGRAM. 
>> IT OFFERS A 
UNIQUE TOOL 
CALLED SCAN AND 
GO. 
SHOPPERS CAN 
RING UP ITEMS ON 
THEIR PHONE AND 
PAY 
ELECTRONICALLY. 
WAL-MART INSISTS 
IT IS NOT TRYING 
TO EAT INTO 
AMAZON'S 
PROCESS. 
>> WE DIDN'T 
DESIGN IT AS 
MAKING DENTS IN 
ANYONE ELSE'S 
BUSINESS. 
WE TOOK A HARD 
LOOK AT WHAT OUR 
CUSTOMERS NEED 
AND WHAT THEY 
WANT AND WHAT 
THEY LOOK FOR. 
>> SO SAM, 
AMAZON PRIME HAS 
BEEN AROUND FOR 
MORE THAN A 
DECADE NOW. 
WHY IS WAL-MART 
INVESTING NOW IN 
THIS 
SUBSCRIPTION 
SERVICE? 
IS IT BECAUSE OF 
THE PANDEMIC AND 
THE FACT THAT 
PEOPLE ARE NOT 
INSIDE OF THE 
STORES AS MUCH? 
>> WELL, LOOK 
THE PANDEMIC IS 
PRELUDE TO 
SOMETHING ELSE. 
CONSUMER DEMAND 
FOR ONLINE 
DELIVERY IS SKY 
ROCKETING. 
WAL-MART SAW ITS 
ONLINE SALES 
DOUBLE LAST 
QUARTER. 
THE QUESTION NOW 
BECOMES THERE'S 
NO VIDEO 
STREAMING 
SERVICE LIKE YOU 
WOULD WITH AN 
AMAZON PRIME. 
THERE ARE OTHER 
BENEFITS THAT 
YOU WILL BE 
GETTING LIKE UP 
TO FIVE CENTS 
PER GALLON OFF 
FOR WAL-MART 
PLUS CUSTOM 
ARES. 
DIFFERENT 
BENEFITS FOR 
EACH PROGRAM. 
IT IS AN 
EVOLVING PROGRAM 
THAT WILL CHANGE 
OVER THE COURSE 
OF TIME. 
WILLIE AND HODA. 
>> A LOT OF 
PEOPLE WILL WANT 
TO USE THIS, 
ESPECIALLY RIGHT 
NOW. 
THANK YOU SO 
MUCH. 
>>> I BELIEVE 
THAT BY THE TIME 
WE GET TO THE 
END OF THIS 
CALENDAR YEAR, 
THAT WE WILL 
FEEL COMFORTABLE 
THAT WE DO HAVE 
A SAFE AND 
EFFECTIVE 
VACCINE. 
>> DR. ANTHONY 
FAUCI IS 
POSITIVE A COVID-
19 VACCINE IS ON 
THE WAY. 
SPEAKING ABOUT 
THE POSSIBILITY 
OF GETTING ONE 
TO THE PUBLIC 
MORE QUICKLY BY 
WAY OF AN 
EMERGENCY USE 
AUTHORIZATION. 
>> I WOULD NOT 
BE COMFORTABLE 
WITH A VACCINE 
UNLESS IT WAS 
SHOWN IN A 
CLINICAL TRIAL 
CLEARLY TO BE 
SAFE AND 
EFFECTIVE. 
I'VE BEEN 
THROUGH A NUMBER 
OF VACCINE 
TRIALS IN WHICH 
EUAs HAVE 
ULTIMATELY BEEN 
DONE BUT THEY 
WERE DONE WHEN 
THERE WAS ENOUGH 
DATA THAT YOU 
WOULD FEEL 
COMFORTABLE THAT 
IT WAS SAFE AND 
EFFECTIVE FOR 
THE AMERICAN 
PUBLIC. 
>> SCHOOLS ARE 
STRUGGLING WITH 
WHAT TO DO WITH 
INFECTED 
STUDENTS. 
>> SO THE CAMPUS 
IS SHUT DOWN AND 
THE KIDS GO 
HOME. 
>> IT IS THE 
WORST THING YOU 
THAT COULD DO. 
KEEP THEM AT THE 
UNIVERSITY IN A 
PLACE THAT IS 
SEE QUESTIONS 
ENTERED ENOUGH 
FROM THE OTHER 
STUDENTS. 
BUT DON'T HAVE 
THEM GO HOME. 
THEY COULD BE 
SPREADING IT IN 
THEIR HOME 
STATE. 
>> LABOR DAY IS 
COMING UP AND WE 
HAVE SEEN AN 
INCREASE IN 
CASES AFTER 
OTHER HOLIDAY 
WEEKENDS. 
ARE YOU 
CONCERNED ABOUT 
THAT WITH THIS 
WEEKEND. 
>> WHEN YOU HAVE 
A HOLIDAY LIKE 
LABOR DAY, WE 
HAVE SEEN AFTER 
THE FOURTH OF 
JULY, WE SAW 
AFTER MEMORIAL 
DAY A SURGE IN 
CASES. 
WEAR A MASK, 
KEEP SOCIAL 
DISTANCING, 
AVOID CROWDS. 
YOU CAN AVOID 
THOSE KIND OF 
SURGES. 
YOU DON'T WANT 
TO BE SOMEONE 
WHO IS SPREADING 
THE OUTBREAK. 
YOU WANT TO BE 
PART OF THE 
SOLUTION, NOT 
PART OF THE 
PROBLEM. 
>> CAN WE GET 
SOME CONTROL OF 
THIS AS WE LOOK 
AHEAD TO FLU 
SEASON? 
ARE YOU WORRIED 
ABOUT A TWIN 
DEMIC AS THEY 
SAY. 
>> I AM. 
I WOULD LIKE TO 
SEE A FULL COURT 
PRESS AS THEY 
SAY TO GET US 
WAY DOWN BELOW A 
BASELINE SO WHEN 
YOU GET THESE 
CASES IN THE 
FALL, THEY WON'T 
SURGE UP. 
THEY WILL BE 
CONTROLLABLE. 
>> BOTTOM LINE, 
HE SAYS UNTIL WE 
GET A VACCINE 
THAT IS 
AVAILABLE FOR 
EVERYONE, WE 
CAN'T STRESS 
THIS ENOUGH, WE 
REALLY HAVE TO 
BE CAREFUL. 
AND THIS LABOR 
DAY WEEKEND IS 
CRITICAL IF WE 
WANT TO TURN 
THINGS AROUND. 
>>> HE HAS 
TRAVELED TO THE 
FAR REACHES OF 
THE WORLD. 
>> WHAT WAS YOUR 
SECRET? 
>> EXOTIC PLACES 
LIKE KOREA, 
COSTA RICA WHICH 
HE DUBBED BLUE 
ZONE. 
WHAT CAN THEY 
TEACH US ABOUT 
SURVIVING. 
PERHAPS EVEN 
THRIVING. 
DURING THESE 
DIFFICULT TIMES. 
>> EVERY 
LONGEVITY 
CULTURE IN THE 
WORLD SUFFERS 
PERIODS OF 
HARDSHIP. 
THEY WENT 
THROUGH WARS, 
THEY WENT 
THROUGH FAMILIES 
SUFFERING LIKE 
WE ARE SUFFERING 
RIGHT NOW. 
>> DAN, WE'VE 
BEEN ALL OVER 
THE WORLD 
TOGETHER. 
NOW WE'RE IN OUR 
BACKYARD. 
YOU HAVE TO 
TRAVEL AROUND 
THE WORLD TO 
DISCOVER HOME. 
I GUESS WE HAVE 
DONE IT. 
>> INITIALLY I 
THINK PEOPLE 
CLOSED THE DOOR, 
CLOSED THE 
WINDOWS AND SAID 
IT IS JUST ME 
AND WHOEVER 
LIVES WITH ME. 
IS THAT 
SUSTAINABLE? 
IS THAT HEALTHY? 
>> NO. 
WE KNOW THAT 
LONELINESS IS AS 
BAD FOR YOU AS 
SMOKING. 
IF YOU'RE 
CHRONICALLY 
LONELY, WHICH IS 
TO SAY YOU DON'T 
HAVE AT LEAST 
TWO FRIENDS TO 
COUNT ON A BAD 
DAY, IT SHAVES 
EIGHT YEARS OFF 
OF YOUR LIFE 
EXPECTANCY. 
>> THAT'S WHERE 
PEOPLE LIVING IN 
THE BLUE ZONE 
COMES IN. 
DAN HAS TAKEN US 
THROUGH HIS 
JOURNEYS TO 
UNLOCK THEIR 
SECRETS. 
HE TELLS US WHAT 
THEY TAUGHT US 
IS MORE 
IMPORTANT THAN 
EVER. 
>> ONE OF MY 
FAVORITE 
MEMORIES OF OUR 
EXPERIENCE HERE 
IS WALKING IN 
THE SMALL LITTLE 
HOUSE WITH SIX 
WOMEN AGES 22 TO 
894 BAKING BREAD 
TOGETHER. 
AND YOU WERE 
STRESSED WITH 
FLYING ACROSS 
THE ATLANTIC AND 
I COULD SEE YOU 
EXUDING STRESS. 
WITHIN FIVE 
MINUTES WITH 
THOSE WOMEN, YOU 
SAW WOMEN 
SHARING 
HARDSHIPS AND 
JOY. 
I DON'T KNOW IF 
YOU REMEMBER 
THAT WOMAN WITH 
ARMS LIKE POPEYE 
KNEADING THE 
BREAD. 
>> EVEN PEOPLE 
CONNECTING LIKE 
WE ARE RIGHT 
NOW, CYNTHIA, ON 
ZOOM, HAVING 
MEANINGFUL 
CONVERSATIONS 
CAN ACTUALLY 
REPLACE A FACE-
TO-FACE 
CONVERSATION. 
>> IN THE BLUE 
ZONES, PEOPLE 
DON'T TAKE THEIR 
ELDERS AND PUT 
THEM ALL 
TOGETHER IN A 
NURSING HOME. 
I MEAN, THAT'S 
JUST NOT HOW IT 
WORKS. 
>> THEY'RE A 
CONTRIBUTING 
MEMBER OF THE 
FAMILY. 
WHEN THEY'RE 
LIVING AT HOME 
WITH YOU, YOU 
CAN BETTER 
PROTECT THEM. 
>> I REMEMBER 
BEING WITH YOU 
AND SEEING THE 
OLD COUPLE IN 
SADINIA. 
THEIR WELL INTO 
THEIR LATE 80s 
BUT THERE THEY 
WERE IN THEIR 
GARDEN. 
>> YES. 
THINK ABOUT 
THAT. 
IN ENTERING 
ELDERS IN THE 
BLUE ZONES ONE 
THING THEY HAVE 
IN COMMON IS THE 
GARDEN. 
IT PROVIDES AN 
ONGOING NUDGE 
FOR US TO WATER 
AND WEED AND 
HARVEST. 
IT IS LOW 
INTENSITY 
PHYSICAL 
ACTIVITY. 
AND YOU WILL 
EMERGE WITH THE 
ACTIVITY WITH 
VEGETABLES THAT 
YOU'RE GOING TO 
EAT BECAUSE YOU 
PLANTED THEM. 
>> HE SAYS SOME 
OF THE BEST 
INGREDIENTS FOR 
A LONG AND 
HEALTHY LIFE ARE 
IN THE KITCHEN, 
WHICH IS WHY HE 
WROTE BLUE ZONE 
KITCHEN. 
>> HOW MUCH RED 
ONION DID YOU 
PUT IN THERE. 
>> HE HAS 
WRITTEN DOWN THE 
RECIPES OF THE 
WORLD'S OLDEST 
PEOPLE HAVE 
EATEN FOR 
CENTURIES. 
>> LOOK AT 
THIS.. 
>> THAT TOOK ME 
TWO YEARS. 
WE CAPTURED THE 
DIET BEFORE IT 
DISAPPEARED. 
>> THIS IS THE 
MEAL THAT THEY 
ATE ALMOST EVERY 
SIN L SINGLE DAY 
OF THEIR LIFE. 
>> LOTS OF 
VEGETABLES AND 
BEANS. 
THE BLUE ZONE 
TEACHES US THAT 
WE HAVE TO EAT 
BEANS. 
>> I'M THE BEAN 
KING. 
I CAN TELL YOU 
IN EVERY 
LONGEVITY DIET 
IN THE WORLD, 
THE CORNERSTONE 
IS ABOUT A CUP 
OF BEANS A DAY. 
IF YOU'RE EATING 
THAT IT IS 
ADDING FOUR 
YEARS TO YOUR 
LIFE EXPECTANCY. 
>> DAN TAKES ME 
INTO A KITCHEN 
FOR A VIRTUAL 
COOKING LESSON. 
>> TOMEI TORES 
FROM MY FATHER 
ROGER'S GARDEN. 
ONE HALF OF A 
RED ONION. 
THIS IS FRESH 
BASIL. 
I'M A BELIEVER 
WHERE THERE IS 
HARDSHIP, THERE 
IS OPPORTUNITY. 
NOT TO DOWNPLAY 
THE SUFFERING 
THAT WE'RE -- 
>> BEING FELT 
ALL ACROSS THE 
UNITED STATES OF 
AMERICA. 
AND JILL AND I 
HAVE JUST BEEN 
BRIEFED AS YOU 
KNOW IN THIS 
ROOM BY OUR 
PUBLIC HEALTH 
AND EDUCATION 
EXPERTS ABOUT 
WHAT IT IS GOING 
TO TAKE TO BE 
ABLE TO REOPEN 
OUR SCHOOLS 
SAFELY AND 
EFFECTIVELY. 
AND BACK TO 
SCHOOL HAS 
ALWAYS BEEN A 
SPECIAL TIME IN 
YOUR FAMILY AND 
MINE. 
PARTICULARLY IN 
MINE BECAUSE FOR 
ALL THE YEARS 
THAT JILL AND I 
WERE MARRIED, 
SHE WAS GOING 
BACK TO SCHOOL 
TOO AS A 
TEACHER. 
JILL IS AN 
EDUCATOR AND 
WILL BE THE 
FIRST ONE TO 
TELL YOU THIS 
SHOULD BE A 
SEASON OF 
PROMISE FOR OUR 
COUNTRY. 
TIMES WHEN 
CLASSROOMS ARE 
CRACKLING WITH 
THE 
POSSIBILITIES OF 
A NEW YEAR, 
STUDENTS HOPES 
ARE ALL ABOUT 
THE FUTURE. 
THIS YEAR WE'RE 
FACING THE MOST 
DIFFICULT 
CIRCUMSTANCES. 
AND WE'RE SEEING 
AN AWFUL LOT OF 
HEART AND GRIT 
FROM OUR 
EDUCATORS, OUR 
STUDENTS TO TRY 
TO RISE TO THE 
OCCASION HERE. 
BUT OUR 
GOVERNMENT 
HASN'T COME UP 
TO THAT BAR. 
HASN'T SHOWN ANY 
GRIT AT ALL OR 
DETERMINATION. 
LET ME BE CLEAR. 
IF PRESIDENT 
TRUMP AND HIS 
ADMINISTRATION 
HAD DONE THEIR 
JOBS EARLY ON 
WITH THIS 
CRISIS, AMERICAN 
SCHOOLS WOULD BE 
OPEN AND THEY 
WOULD BE 
REOPENED SAFELY. 
INSTEAD AMERICAN 
FAMILIES ALL 
ACROSS THIS 
COUNTRY ARE 
PAYING THE PRICE 
FOR HIS 
FAILURES, HIS 
ADMINISTRATION'S 
FAILURES. 
LIKE MANY OF YOU 
BECAUSE YOU'RE 
ALL REPORTERS, 
YOU ALSO HAVE A 
LOT OF FRIENDS 
AND YOU HAVE 
CHILDREN AND 
YOU'RE PROBABLY 
HEARING THE SAME 
THING THAT I'M 
HEARING 
THROUGHOUT THIS 
PANDEMIC. 
THEY'RE 
STRUGGLING TO 
FIGURE OUT HOW 
TO DO THE RIGHT 
THING BUT 
THEY'RE WORRIED. 
THEY'RE WORRIED 
LIKE THE DEVIL. 
WHAT DOES IT 
MEAN FOR MY 
KIDS? 
IS THIS SETTING 
MY CHILD'S 
EDUCATION BACK 
BEYOND JUST A 
SEMESTER? 
WHAT IMPACT WILL 
IT HAVE? 
HOW IS MY CHILD 
GOING TO CATCH 
UP? 
WHAT IF -- WHAT 
IF I'M NOT DOING 
ENOUGH TO HELP 
MY CHILD 
SUCCEED? 
ALL OF THOSE 
QUESTIONS OF 
SELF DOUBT HAS 
BEEN ENGAGED. 
PRESIDENT TRUMP 
MAY NOT THINK 
THIS IS A 
NATIONAL 
EMERGENCY. 
BUT I THINK 
GOING BACK TO 
SCHOOL FOR 
MILLIONS OF 
CHILDREN AND THE 
IMPACTS ON OUR 
FAMILIES AND THE 
COMMUNITY IS A 
NATIONAL 
EMERGENCY. 
I BELIEVE THAT'S 
WHAT IT IS. 
PROTECTING OUR 
STUDENTS, OUR 
EDUCATORS, OUR 
COMMUNITIES 
GETTING OUR 
SCHOOLS OPEN 
SAFELY AND 
EFFECTIVELY IS A 
NATIONAL 
EMERGENCY. 
PRESIDENT TRUMP 
DOESN'T HAVE A 
PLAN ON HOW TO 
OPEN OUR SCHOOLS 
SAFELY. 
NO REAL PLAN TO 
HELP PARENTS 
FEEL SECURE FOR 
THEIR CHILDREN. 
HE IS OFFERING 
NOTHING BUT 
FAILURE AND 
DELUSIONS FROM 
THE START AND 
FINISH. 
OUR AMERICAN 
FAMILIES AND 
CHILDREN ARE 
PAYING THE PRICE 
FOR THEIR 
FAILURES. 
FAILURE TO TAKE 
THIS VIRUS 
SERIOUSLY IN 
JANUARY AND 
FEBRUARY AS IT 
SPREAD ACROSS 
THE GLOBE. 
FAILURE TO TAKE 
THE STEPS WE 
NEEDED BACK IN 
MARCH AND APRIL 
TO GET THIS 
PANDEMIC UNDER 
CONTROL. 
WIDESPREAD 
TESTING AND 
TRACING TO 
CONTROL THE 
SPREAD. 
FAILURE TO 
PROVIDE CLEAR 
NATIONAL SCIENCE-
BASED GUIDELINES 
TO STATE AND 
LOCAL 
AUTHORITIES. 
AND FAILURE TO 
MODEL EVEN BASIC 
RESPONSIBILITY 
LIKE SOCIALLY 
DISTANCING AND 
WEARING A MASK. 
AND FAILURE TO 
MAKE SURE THAT 
EDUCATORS AND 
ADMINISTRATORS 
HAVE THE 
EQUIPMENT, THE 
RESOURCES AND 
THE TRAINING 
THEY NEED TO 
OPEN SAFE UNDER 
THE 
CIRCUMSTANCES 
THAT WE FIND 
NOW. 
DONALD TRUMP AND 
BETSY DEVOS, 
SECRETARY DEVOS 
HAVEN'T STEPPED 
UP. 
WE'RE ALL SEEING 
THE RESULTS. 
MILLIONS OF 
STUDENTS ARE NOW 
STARTING THE NEW 
SCHOOL YEAR IN 
THE SAME WAY 
THEY FINISHED 
THE LAST ONE, AT 
HOME. 
AT HOME. 
PARENTS ARE 
DOING THEIR 
BEST. 
BUT MORE AND 
MORE ARE FINDING 
THEMSELVES AT 
WITS END, 
BALANCING WORK 
AND EDUCATIONAL 
DUTIES AND CHILD 
CARE. 
OR WORRYING 
ABOUT THEIR LOST 
PAYCHECK AND HOW 
THEY WILL MAKE 
ENDS MEET WHILE 
TRYING TO KEEP 
THEIR KIDS ON 
TRACK WITH 
REMOTE LEARNING. 
EDUCATORS ARE 
TAKING ON 
COUNTLESS HOURS 
OF ADDITIONAL 
TRAINING TO 
LEARN HOW TO USE 
REMOTE LEARNING 
TOOLS SO THEY 
CAN STILL BE 
THERE FOR THEIR 
STUDENTS BUT 
THEY'RE WORRIED 
ABOUT ALL OF THE 
KIDS WHO USED TO 
COUNT ON OUR 
SCHOOLS. 
ALL OF THOSE 
CHILDREN WHO 
NEED IT SO 
BADLY. 
AND PARTICULARLY 
THOSE CHILDREN 
WHO NEED MORE 
THAN THE 
EDUCATION. 
THEY PROVIDE 
THEIR MEALS AND 
SAFE PLACES TO 
SPEND THE DAY. 
YOU KNOW, WE'RE 
ALL CONCERNED 
ABOUT MAKING 
SURE THAT COVID-
19 DOESN'T 
FURTHER 
EXACERBATE THE 
DISPARITIES. 
THE DISPARITIES 
THAT ALREADY 
HAVE EXISTED IN 
OUR EDUCATIONAL 
SYSTEM. 
FOR SO MANY POOR 
CHILDREN AND IN 
SO MANY 
COMMUNITIES OF 
COLOR. 
IT IS 
UNACCEPTABLE. 
AND IT CAN'T GO 
ON LIKE THIS. 
WE ALL WANT OUR 
SCHOOLS TO 
REOPEN SAFELY. 
WITH A PLAN THAT 
PRIORITIZES THE 
HEALTH OF OUR 
STUDENTS AND OUR 
EDUCATORS AND 
STAFF ALIKE. 
I LAID OUT MY 
PLAN BACK IN 
JUNE AND JULY. 
A ROAD MAP FOR 
HOW TO REOPEN 
SAFELY AND 
EFFECTIVELY. 
YOU CAN READ 
THEM BY GOING TO 
JOEBIDEN.COM. 
WE NEED 
STRAIGHTFORWARD 
COMMON SENSE 
SOLUTIONS. 
BUT TRUMP 
REFUSES TO ACT. 
STARVING SCHOOLS 
OF THE NEEDED 
FUNDING. 
FUNDING THEY 
NEED NOW. 
NOW. 
THEY NEEDED IT 
BEGINNING OF THE 
SUMMER. 
NOW TRUMP'S FEMA 
DIRECTOR IS 
CUTTING SCHOOLS 
LOOSE. 
JUST YESTERDAY 
FEMA ANNOUNCED 
THAT -- AFTER 
HELPING THREE 
DISTRICTS, I 
THINK IT WAS 
THREE. 
THEY ANNOUNCED 
THAT THEY'RE NOT 
GOING TO HELP 
PAY FOR CLOTH 
MASKS, OTHER 
PPE, OR FOR 
SCHOOL SETTINGS. 
CLEANING THOSE 
BASIC HEALTH 
NEEDS, SANITIZE 
EVERYTHING FROM 
THE LAVATORIES 
AND THE 
CLASSROOMS. 
AND SAFETY COSTS 
FOR SCHOOLS THAT 
DON'T QUALIFY 
FOR EMERGENCY 
ASSISTANCE. 
THIS IS AN 
EMERGENCY, MR. 
PRESIDENT. 
THIS IS AN 
EMERGENCY. 
AND DONALD TRUMP 
AND HIS FEMA 
SHOULD TREAT IT 
AS ONE. 
IF I WERE 
PRESIDENT TODAY 
I WOULD DIRECT 
FEMA TO MAKE 
SURE THAT OUR 
KIDS K-12 GET 
FULL ACCESS TO 
DISASTER RELIEF 
UNDER THE 
STAFFORD ACT. 
I WOULD MAKE 
SURE THAT PPE 
AND SANITATION 
SUPPLIES FOR 
SCHOOLS QUALIFY 
AS EMERGENCY 
PROTECTIVE 
MEASURES. 
WHICH IS A 
PHRASE THEY USE. 
TO FULLY BE 
ELIGIBLE FOR 
FEDERAL 
ASSISTANCE. 
ON TOP OF THAT, 
I WOULD BE 
WORKING WITH THE 
LEADERS OF 
CONGRESS NOW, 
TODAY, TO PASS 
EMERGENCY 
PACKAGES FOR 
SCHOOLS SO THEY 
HAVE THE 
RESOURCES THEY 
NEED IN ORDER TO 
BE ABLE TO OPEN 
SAFELY. 
MONEY FOR 
VENTILATION. 
I HEARD THAT A 
LOT WHEN I HAD 
ALL OF THOSE 
HEALTH CARE 
EXPERTS UP ON -- 
UP ON THE ZOOM. 
MONEY FOR 
VENTILATION AND 
HEALTH MEASURES. 
AND ALSO MONEY 
TO HIRE MORE 
TEACHERS. 
EVERY 
RECOMMENDATION 
THAT WE GOT, 
THEY SHOULD BE 
DIVIDING IN THE 
PODS. 
SMALLER CLASSES. 
SMALLER CLASSES 
MEANS MORE 
EDUCATORS ARE 
NEEDED. 
KEEPING CLASSES 
SOCIALLY 
DISTANCED, 
SMALL. 
MONEY FOR MORE 
PSYCHOLOGISTS 
AND COUNCILORS. 
I EDITED 
LEGISLATION A 
LONG TIME AGO 
FOR THAT. 
A LONG TIME AGO. 
WE HAVE ONE -- 
ONE SCHOOL 
PSYCHOLOGIST 
EVERY 1507 
CHILDREN IN 
SCHOOL. 
AND THE HEALTH 
CARE, THE MENTAL 
HEALTH THAT OUR 
CHILDREN NEED 
NOW, THE ANXIETY 
THEY'RE FEELING 
AT HOME, IN 
GOING TO SCHOOL, 
NOT BEING ABLE 
TO GO TO SCHOOL. 
THE NATION'S 
SUPERINTENDENT 
OF SCHOOLS HAS 
ESTIMATED THAT 
THEY WILL NEED 
AT LEAST $200 
BILLION TO 
SUPPORT K-12 
SCHOOLS 
THROUGHOUT THE 
YEAR FOR SAVORY 
OPENING. 
WE NEED THE 
MONEY FOR 
COMMUNITY 
COLLEGES. 
DEMOCRATIC 
LEADERS ARE 
READY TO GET 
THIS DONE. 
THEY HAVE 
ALREADY PROPOSED 
THAT 
LEGISLATION. 
MR. PRESIDENT, 
WHERE ARE YOU? 
WHERE ARE YOU? 
WHY AREN'T YOU 
WORKING ON THIS? 
WE NEED 
EMERGENCY 
SUPPORT FUNDING 
FOR OUR SCHOOLS 
AND WE NEED IT 
NOW. 
PRESIDENT, 
THAT'S YOUR JOB. 
THAT'S YOUR JOB. 
THAT'S WHAT YOU 
SHOULD BE 
FOCUSED ON NOW. 
GETTING OUR KIDS 
BACK TO SCHOOL 
SAFETY. 
KEEPING SCHOOLS 
SAFELY ABLE TO 
REMAIN OPEN ONCE 
THEY STAY STAY 
-- ONCE THEY 
OPEN. 
NOT WHIPPING UP 
FEAR AND 
DIVISION. 
NOT INCITING 
VIOLENCE IN OUR 
STREETS. 
GET OFF TWITTER 
AND START 
TALKING TO THE 
CONGRESSIONAL 
LEADERS IN BOTH 
PARTIES. 
INVITE THEM TO 
THE OVAL OFFICE. 
THE OVAL OFFICE. 
AND STOP YOUR 
BOAST ABOUT 
NEVER BEING SEEN 
-- YOU CAN DO 
ANYTHING. 
YOU ALWAYS TALK 
ABOUT YOUR 
ABILITY TO 
NEGOTIATE. 
NEGOTIATE A 
DEAL. 
A DEAL FOR 
SOMEBODY OTHER 
THAN YOURSELF. 
NOW I'M HAPPY TO 
TAKE QUESTIONS 
YOU MAY HAVE. 
I GUESS STAFF IS 
GOING TO CALL ON 
WHOEVER. 
FIRE AWAY. 
>> OKAY. 
>> TWO QUICK 
QUESTIONS. 
AHEAD OF YOUR 
TRIP TO KENOSHA, 
WISCONSIN 
TOMORROW, LAST 
WEEK YOUR 
RUNNING MATE 
SENATOR HARRIS 
SAID THAT THE 
OFFICER WHO SHOT 
JACOB BLAKE 
BASED ON WHAT 
SHE HAD SEEN 
SHOULD BE 
CHARGED. 
DO YOU AGREE 
WITH HER AND DO 
YOU ALSO BELIEVE 
THE SAME FOR THE 
OFFICERS WHO 
WERE INVOLVED IN 
THE DEATH OF 
BREONNA TAYLOR. 
>> I THINK WE 
SHOULD LET THE 
JUDICIAL SYSTEM 
WORK ITS WAY. 
I DO THINK 
THERE'S A 
MINIMUM NEED TO 
BE CHARGED. 
THE OFFICERS. 
AS WELL AS 
BREONNA TAYLOR. 
AND I MIGHT ADD, 
BY THE WAY, I 
THINK WHAT 
HAPPENED IN -- 
IN PORTLAND 
WHERE A -- ONE 
OF THE TRUMP 
GUYS RIDING 
ALONG IN VANS 
INCITING 
RESPONSE 
SHOOTING RUBBER 
BULLETS I GUESS 
OR PAINTBALLS, 
APPARENTLY THERE 
WAS SOMEONE SHOT 
BY SOMEONE IN 
THE CROWD WITH A 
BULLET KILLED. 
I THINK THAT 
PERSON SHOULD 
MEET LEGAL 
REQUIREMENTS, 
WHATEVER THAT 
CALLS FOR. 
IT SHOULD BE 
INVESTIGATED AND 
IT SHOULD FOLLOW 
THROUGH ON WHAT 
NEEDS TO BE 
DONE. 
LET THE JUDICIAL 
SYSTEM WORK. 
LET'S MAKE SURE 
THAT JUSTICE IS 
DONE. 
>> JUST QUICKLY 
ON A DIFFERENT 
TOPIC. 
THERE IS A NEW 
BOOK BY THE NEW 
YORK TIMES 
MICHAEL SCHMIDT 
THAT SAYS WHEN 
PRESIDENT TRUMP 
MADE AN 
UNANNOUNCED 
VISIT TO WALTER 
REID IN 2019, 
MIKE PENCE WAS 
TOLD TO BE ON 
STAND BY IF HE 
HAD TO RECEIVE 
ANESTHESIA. 
PENCE SAYS HE 
DOESN'T RECALL 
BEING TOLD THAT. 
AS VICE 
PRESIDENT, WERE 
YOU EVER TOLD TO 
BE ON STAND BY 
OR GIVEN, YOU 
KNOW, ANY KIND 
OF SPECIAL ALERT 
WHEN PRESIDENT 
OBAMA WAS GOING 
IN FOR A MEDICAL 
APPOINTMENT? 
AND I JUST 
WONDER IF YOU 
HAVE ANY 
CONCERNS ABOUT 
THE FACT THAT 
THAT WALTER REED 
VISIT THAT 
PRESIDENT TRUMP 
MADE, IT DIDN'T 
FOLLOW PROTOCOL 
FOR PRESIDENTIAL 
VISITS FOR 
MEDICAL 
EXAMINATIONS. 
>> I'M NOT GOING 
TO SPECULATE 
WHAT IT MEANS. 
WHAT I CAN SAY 
IS NOTHING THIS 
ADMINISTRATION 
DOES IS NORMAL. 
AND SO I'M NOT 
BEING FACETIOUS 
WHEN I SAY THAT. 
WHO IN GOD'S 
NAME KNOWS WHAT 
IT'S ALL ABOUT. 
I JUST DON'T 
KNOW. 
I DON'T KNOW. 
AND I'M NOT 
GOING TO 
SPECULATE. 
I'LL LET THE 
EXPERTS DO THAT. 
THE ONLY TIME 
THAT I HAVE BEEN 
ON NOTICE IS 
WHEN THE 
PRESIDENT IS OUT 
OF THE COUNTRY 
AND I'M IN THE 
COUNTRY. 
NOT THAT I 
SHOULD WAIT FOR 
SOMETHING TO BE 
IMMEDIATELY BE 
AWARE OF 
ANYTHING. 
BUT THAT -- THAT 
IS SOMETHING 
THAT I MIGHT BE 
CALLED FOR. 
IT WASN'T CALLED 
FOR. 
>> THANK YOU. 
>> THANK YOU, 
MR. VICE 
PRESIDENT. 
>> YES. 
>> LOCAL 
OFFICIALS 
INCLUDING THE 
GOVERNOR HAD 
DISCOURAGED 
PRESIDENT TRUMP 
FROM VISITING. 
JUST YESTERDAY 
THE PRESIDENT OF 
THE LOCAL NAACP 
DIDN'T WANT TO 
SEE EITHER 
CANDIDATES COME 
TO KENOSHA. 
>> I HAVE SPOKEN 
TO ALL OF THE 
LEADERS UP 
THERE. 
EVEN THOUGH I 
HAVE AN 
OUTSTANDING CALL 
WITH THE 
GOVERNOR, WE 
HAVE DEALT WITH 
HIS STAFF, 
BECAUSE -- AND 
THERE'S BEEN 
OVERWHELMING 
REQUESTS THAT I 
DO COME BECAUSE 
WHAT WE WANT TO 
DO IS WE HAVE TO 
HEAL. 
WE HAVE TO BRING 
PEOPLE TOGETHER. 
MY PURPOSE IS 
GOING WILL BE TO 
DO THAT. 
BE PART THE 
INFLUENCE ON 
WHAT IS GOING 
ON. 
TALK ABOUT WHAT 
NEEDS TO BE 
DONE. 
AND TRY TO SEE 
IF THERE'S A 
BEGINNING OF A 
MECHANISM TO 
BRING THE FOLKS 
TOGETHER. 
WE HAVE TO HEAL. 
THIS IS ABOUT 
MAKING SURE THAT 
WE MOVE -- WE 
MOVE FORWARD. 
AND SO I'VE 
GOTTEN ADVICE 
FROM SITTING 
MEMBERS OF THE 
CONGRESS AND THE 
SENATE AS WELL 
TO GO. 
AND THAT I 
SHOULD GO. 
AND I'M NOT 
GOING TO DO 
ANYTHING OTHER 
THAN MEET WITH 
-- MEETINGS WITH 
COMMUNITY 
LEADERS, AS WELL 
AS BUSINESS 
PEOPLE AND OTHER 
FOLKS IN LAW 
ENFORCEMENT AND 
TO SEE -- START 
TO TALK ABOUT 
WHAT HAS TO BE 
DONE. 
I'M NOT GOING TO 
TELL KENOSHA 
WHAT THEY HAVE 
TO DO. 
WHAT WE HAVE TO 
DO TOGETHER. 
THE IDEA THAT WE 
ARE SAYING -- 
YOU KNOW, THE 
PRESIDENT'S 
CURRENT PEOPLE 
RETREAT TO THEIR 
CORNERS AND KEEP 
THIS MOVING IS 
JUST A MISTAKE. 
I SPENT MY WHOLE 
LIFE, INCLUDING 
IN THE CITY THAT 
YOU'RE IN RIGHT 
NOW BRINGING 
PEOPLE TOGETHER, 
BRINGING THE 
COMMUNITY AND 
POLICE OFFICERS 
TOGETHER. 
BRINGING 
BUSINESS LEADERS 
AND CIVIC 
LEADERS 
TOGETHER. 
SO THAT'S MY 
PURPOSE IN 
GOING. 
>> AND THE FACT 
THAT YOU'RE 
TRAVELING TO 
WISCONSIN AT 
ALL, I BELIEVE 
THIS IS ONLY THE 
THIRD TIME IN 
THE LAST FEW 
MONTHS SINCE THE 
ONSET OF THE 
PANDEMIC THAT 
YOU WILL BE ON A 
PLANE. 
YOU HAVE TALKED 
ABOUT HOW YOU 
WANT TO MAKE 
SURE THAT YOU 
FOLLOW THE 
ADVICE OF YOUR 
DOCTORS IN TERMS 
OF CAMPAIGNING 
SAFELY. 
THE QUESTION 
THAT WE KEEP 
HEARING FROM 
VOTERS, WHY 
AREN'T YOU OUT 
THERE MORE. 
THE PRESIDENT 
WAS CALLING INTO 
QUESTION YOUR 
CAMPAIGN 
SCHEDULE TODAY. 
HOW FAR ARE YOU 
WILLING TO PUSH 
THE ENVELOPE? 
WHAT IS SAFE IN 
ORDER TO GET 
YOUR MESSAGE OUT 
AND BE AMONG THE 
VOTERS, SPEAK TO 
THEM DIRECTLY. 
>> I THINK MY 
MESSAGE IS 
GETTING OUT 
BASED ON WHAT 
ALL THE POLLING 
DATA SHOWS AND 
THE MILLIONS OF 
PEOPLE WHO HAVE 
HAD TO WASH WHAT 
I HAD TO SAY AND 
THE CIRCUMSTANCE 
THAT I SAID IT. 
BUT I WOULD LIKE 
TO GET OUT MORE. 
BUT I THINK A 
PRESIDENT HAS A 
RESPONSIBILITY 
TO SET AN 
EXAMPLE. 
SET THE RIGHT 
EXAMPLE FOR HOW 
TO GET OUT. 
NOT GO OUT AND 
NOT WEAR A MASK 
AND NOT TO HAVE 
LARGE CROWDS OF 
PEOPLE STANDING 
NEXT TO ONE 
ANOTHER. 
NOT BEING THE 
POTENTIAL 
CALDRON FOR 
SPECIFIC 
OUTBREAKS OF 
COVID. 
SO WHAT I HAVE 
DONE IS I'VE MET 
WITH VIA -- WHAT 
I DID THIS 
MORNING WITH THE 
MEDICAL EXPERTS. 
AND SO WE WORKED 
OUT A PROTOCOL 
WHERE -- HOW I 
GET IN THE 
PLANE, WHAT 
PLANE I GET ON, 
HOW IT IS 
SANITIZED, HOW I 
ENGAGE PEOPLE. 
LIKE I'M 
ENGAGING ALL OF 
YOU WHEREVER YOU 
GO. 
IT IS ALWAYS AT 
A SAFE DISTANCE. 
AND EVERYBODY IS 
WEARING MASKS. 
AND THE VAST 
MAJORITY OF 
PEOPLE THAT I'M 
MEETING WITH 
HAVE COME INTO 
MY HOME AND 
STAFF AND THE 
LIKE, THEY'RE 
ALL TESTED AS 
WELL. 
SO I'M JUST 
TRYING TO SET 
THE EXAMPLE. 
WEARING THE 
PROTECTIVE GEAR, 
A MASK, WHICH I 
HAVE WITH ME. 
I'M ABLE AT THIS 
DISTANCE TO TAKE 
IT OFF. 
NUMBER ONE. 
NUMBER TWO, 
MAKING SURE THAT 
WE PROCEED IN A 
WAY WITH 
ADEQUATE SOCIAL 
DISTANCING. 
AND DO IT THE 
RIGHT WAY. 
>> AND LAST 
QUICKLY, THEY 
ANNOUNCED THE 
FORMAT AND THE 
MODERATORS OF 
THE PRESIDENTIAL 
DEBATE TODAY. 
KRISTEN WELKER 
BATTLE CLEAN-UP 
IN THAT DEBATE. 
HOW HAVE YOU 
BEGUN TO 
PREPARE. 
>> I'VE BEGUN TO 
PREPARE BY GOING 
OVER WHAT THE 
PRESIDENT HAS 
SAID AND THE 
MULTIPLE LIES 
THAT HE HAS 
TOLD. 
WHEY WOULD LOVE 
TO HAVE A 
CRAWLER AT THE 
BOTTOM OF THE 
SCREEN, A FACT 
CHECKER AS WE 
SPEAK. 
IF WE REALLY 
WANTED TO DO 
SOMETHING, I 
THINK THAT WOULD 
MAKE A GREAT, 
GREAT DEBATE. 
IF EVERYTHING 
BOTH OF US SAID 
WAS INSTANTLY 
FACT CHECKED BY 
AN AGREED TO 
GROUP OF PEOPLE 
OUT THERE THAT 
WE MOVE FORWARD. 
BUT THAT 
PROBABLY 
WOULDN'T GET 
VERY FAR IN THE 
DEBATE. 
NO. 
I'M LOOKING 
FORWARD TO 
DEBATING THE 
PRESIDENT. 
AND I'M GOING TO 
LAY OUT AS 
CLEARLY AS I CAN 
WHAT I THINK WE 
HAVE TO DO TO BY 
THIS CONDO BACK 
AND BUILD IT 
BACK BETTER. 
AND I'M LOOKING 
FORWARD TO THE 
DEBATE. 
>> THANK YOU, 
MR. VICE 
PRESIDENT. 
A LOST THINGS 
THAT I HAVE 
HEARD FROM 
VOTERS ACROSS 
THE COUNTRY, A 
LOT ARE WORRIED 
AND CONCERNED 
ABOUT SOME OF 
THE ONGOING 
VIOLENCE WE HAVE 
SEEN IN CITIES 
IN THIS COUNTRY, 
INCLUDING THE 
SITUATION IN 
KENOSHA, 
WISCONSIN, WHERE 
YOU'RE HEADED. 
I'M CURIOUS 
OBVIOUSLY YOU'RE 
NOT PRESIDENT 
HERE AND DONALD 
TRUMP IS. 
BUT I'M CURIOUS, 
IF YOU WERE 
PRESIDENT, WHAT 
WOULD YOU DO TO 
ENSURE THAT 
PEOPLE ARE SAFE 
IN SITUATIONS 
LIKE THESE? 
>> FIRST OF ALL, 
I WOULDN'T 
INCITE VIOLENCE. 
I WOULD CONDEMN 
IT WHEN IT 
OCCURRED. 
I WOULD MOVE TO 
-- LOOK, THE 
VAST MAJORITY OF 
POLICE OFFICERS 
ARE GOOD 
HONORABLE WOMEN 
AND MEN. 
THEY PIN ON THAT 
SHIELD EVERY 
MORNING AND THEY 
HAVE A RIGHT TO 
GO HOME THAT 
NIGHT SAFERLY. 
THE VAST 
MAJORITY. 
JUST THOSE WHO 
ARE NOT GOOD 
COPS, ALL OF THE 
POLICE THAT I 
HAVE DEALT WITH 
MY WHOLE LIFE -- 
AND I'VE BEEN 
DEALING WITH -- 
I'VE GOTTEN 
OVERWHELMING 
SUPPORT FROM LAW 
ENFORCEMENT MY 
WHOLE YEAR. 
THEY WANT TO GET 
RID OF THE BAD 
COPS EVEN MORE 
THAN ANYONE ELSE 
DOES BECAUSE IT 
REFLECTS BAD ON 
THEM. 
NUMBER ONE. 
NUMBER TWO, I 
WOULD MAKE SURE 
THAT EVERYBODY 
UNDERSTOOD IF I 
WAS PRESIDENT 
THAT ANY 
VIOLENCE, IN AT 
THIS VIOLENCE, 
PROTESTING IS A 
RIGHT AND FREE 
SPEECH IS A 
RIGHT. 
BUT TO ENGAGE IN 
VIOLENCE, 
BURNING, 
LOOTING, UNREST, 
IN THE NAME OF 
PROTESTING IS 
WRONG. 
AND THAT PERSONS 
SHOULD BE HELD 
ACCOUNTABLE FOR 
THEIR ACTIONS. 
AND SO WHAT I 
WOULD BE DOING 
IS I WOULD BE 
BRINGING PEOPLE 
TOGETHER IN THE 
WHITE HOUSE 
RIGHT NOW. 
I WOULD BE 
HAVING THAT 
POLICE 
COMMISSION SET 
UP. 
I WOULD HAVE LAW 
ENFORCEMENT AT 
THE TABLE. 
I WOULD HAVE THE 
COMMUNITY AT THE 
TABLE. 
I WOULD HAVE 
PEOPLE SAYING 
HOW DO WE GET 
THROUGH THIS? 
WHAT DO WE DO TO 
DEAL WITH THIS? 
BECAUSE I 
BELIEVE THE VAST 
MAJORITY OF THE 
COMMUNITY AT 
LARGE, AS WELL 
AS LAW 
ENFORCEMENT WANT 
TO STRAIGHTEN 
THINGS OUT. 
NOT INFLAME 
THINGS. 
THIS PRESIDENT 
KEEPS THROWING 
GASOLINE ON THE 
FIRE EVERY PLACE 
THAT HE GOES. 
I NOTICED -- I 
DIDN'T WATCH 
MUCH OF IT BUT I 
WATCHED THE 
REPORTS FROM ALL 
OF YOU. 
FROM THE PRESS. 
AND WHEN HE WAS 
ASKED ABOUT WHAT 
SHOULD BE DONE 
WITH REGARD TO A 
YOUNG MAN SHOT 
SEVEN TIMES IN 
THE BACK IN 
FRONT OF HIS 
CHILDREN, I 
DIDN'T HEAR MUCH 
OF ANYTHING COME 
FROM HIM. 
WHAT SHOULD WE 
BE DOING ABOUT 
IT DOWN THE 
LINE? 
I WOULDN'T TAKE 
RESPONSIBILITY. 
AS MUCH AS HE 
WOULD LIKE TO BE 
RUNNING AGAINST 
ANYBODY ELSE, HE 
IS RUNNING 
AGAINST ME, JOE 
BIDEN. 
AND THE FACT IS 
HE IS NOT ACTING 
VERY 
RESPONSIBLY. 
>> YOU'VE 
OUTLINED -- 
>> I'M SORRY. 
>> YOU OUTLINED 
YOUR PLAN TO 
REOPEN SCHOOLS 
SAFELY. 
WHAT HAPPENS IN 
THE INTERIM. 
MILLIONS OF 
PARENTS ACROSS 
THE COUNTRY ARE 
FACING THIS 
IMPOSSIBLE TASK 
OF WORKING FUM 
TIME AND FULL-
TIME AND HELP 
THEIR KIDS FULL-
TIME. 
>> I WOULD LAY 
OUT A CLEAR PLAN 
FOR CHILD CARE 
AND STARTING 
EARLY EDUCATION 
AS WELL SO 3, 4, 
5-YEAR-OLDS ARE 
IN SCHOOL. 
BUT I'M NOT 
PRESIDENT RIGHT 
NOW. 
WHAT WE SHOULD 
BE DOING IS WE 
SHOULD BE 
PROVIDING FOR 
MORE HELP FOR 
PEOPLE WHO, IN 
FACT, ARE TRYING 
TO JUGGLE THE 
CHOICE BETWEEN 
DO I STAY HOME 
WITH MY 3, 4, OR 
5-YEAR-OLD AND 
TAKE CARE OF 
THEM IN THE 
MIDDLE OF THIS 
COVID PROBLEM OR 
DO I GO TO WORK 
AND EARN A 
SALARY? 
WHAT DO I DO? 
AND SO THAT IS 
WHY WE HAVE A 
MAJOR INITIATIVE 
TO DEAL WITH 
CHILD CARE AND 
ELDER CARE. 
SO PEOPLE CAN BE 
ADEQUATELY PAID 
TO COME AND TAKE 
CARE OF FOLKS, 
CHILDREN, AS 
WELL AS THE 
ELDERLY YOU THAT 
MAY BE TAKING 
CARE OF. 
A PARENT -- A 
HUSBAND OR WIFE 
MAY BE TAKING 
CARE OF. 
AS WELL AS 
MAKING SURE THAT 
THOSE PARENTS 
ARE ABLE TO GET 
BACK TO WORK. 
THAT'S WHY 
FOCUSING ON DAY 
CARE CENTERS AND 
MAKING SURE THAT 
THEY'RE SAFE AND 
HEALTHY NOW ARE 
EQUALLY -- 
ALMOST AS 
EQUALLY AS 
IMPORTANT AS 
DEALING WITH 
SCHOOLS. 
WE SHOULD BE 
PROVIDING ALL OF 
THE PPE THAT IS 
NECESSARY TO 
ALLOW THEM TO 
OPEN. 
HUNDREDS HAVE 
BEEN OPENING 
BECAUSE SOME 
STATES HAVE GONE 
IN AND DONE 
THAT. 
THERE SHOULD BE 
UNIVERSAL 
GUIDANCE COMING 
FROM THE 
PRESIDENT OF THE 
UNITED STATES OF 
AMERICA. 
THERE SHOULD BE 
BASIC STANDARDS 
TO HOW IN FACT 
AND WHAT 
CIRCUMSTANCE YOU 
CAN SAFELY OPEN 
A DAY CARE 
CENTER, SAFELY 
OPEN A CHILD 
CARE CENTER. 
IN ADDITION TO 
THAT, IN THE 
FUTURE THE IDEA 
THIS HAS BROUGHT 
HOME A NUMBER OF 
GLARING PROBLEMS 
THAT WE HAVE IN 
AMERICA. 
THE WHOLE 
PANDEMIC AND 
WHAT HAS 
HAPPENED IN 
TERMS OF JOBS. 
THE IDEA THAT 
WE'RE IN A 
SITUATION WHERE 
YOU HAVE SO MANY 
PARENTS WHO HAVE 
TO MAKE THE 
DIFFICULT CHOICE 
AS A SINGLE 
PARENT OR BOTH 
WORKING PARENTS 
THAT ONE HAS TO 
GIVE UP THEIR 
SALARY AND STAY 
HOME WITH A 
CHILD UNDER THE 
AGE OF 5 OR 6 OR 
SOMEHOW LEAVES 
THEM WITH 
SOMEBODY THAT IS 
NOT PARTICULARLY 
QUALIFIED SO 
THEY CAN GO TO 
WORK AND MAKE A 
LIVING IS NOT A 
DECISION THAT WE 
SHOULD HAVE TO 
MAKE. 
NO ONE SHOULD 
HAVE TO PAY MORE 
THAN 7% OF THEIR 
INCOME TO 
PROVIDE FOR 
CHILD CARE. 
AND BE ABLE TO 
GO TO WORK. 
THIS IS 
SOMETHING THAT 
IS A MAJOR 
ELEMENT OF MY 
BUILD BACK 
BETTER PROGRAM. 
BUT IN THE 
MEANTIME, IN THE 
MEANTIME, THE 
MOST IMPORTANT 
THING THAT CAN 
BE DONE IS HAVE 
CDC ISSUE REALLY 
STRAIGHTFORWARD 
GUIDELINES ON 
UNDER WHAT 
CIRCUMSTANCES 
YOU SHOULD BE 
ABLE TO OPEN UP 
YOUR DAY CARE 
CENTER OR YOUR 
CHILD CARE 
CENTER NOW. 
AND THERE SHOULD 
BE CLEAR 
STANDARDS. 
AND STATES 
SHOULD HAVE THE 
WHEREWITHAL TO 
BE ABLE TO GO 
OUT AND INSPECT 
THOSE FACILITIES 
NOW. 
ONE THING THAT I 
HAVEN'T 
MENTIONED AND I 
THINK IT 
WARRANTS 
MENTIONING, ONE 
OF THE THINGS 
THAT WE DID, 
REMEMBER WHETHER 
WE INHERITED THE 
GREAT RECESSION 
AND WE WERE 
GOING INTO THE 
TANK, HEADING 
OFF THE CLIFF, 
GOING THROUGH A 
DEPRESSION. 
I WAS ABLE TO 
TALK WITH 
REPUBLICANS AND 
WE ENDED UP WITH 
THE RECOVERY 
ACT. 
WE KEPT US FROM 
GOING INTO A 
DEPRESSION. 
WHAT DID WE DO? 
WE SPENT ALMOST 
-- WE SPENT 
BILLIONS OF 
DOLLARS MAKING 
SURE THAT STATES 
WERE ABLE TO 
MAINTAIN THEIR 
ESSENTIAL 
WORKERS. 
EVERYONE FROM 
THE FIRE 
DEPARTMENT, THE 
SCHOOL TEACHERS, 
THEIR DOCTORS, 
THEIR NURSES, 
THEIR PUBLIC 
HOSPITALS. 
NOW WHAT IS 
HAPPENING? 
THIS REPUBLICAN 
ADMINISTRATION 
WILL NOT SUPPORT 
THAT. 
AND THE 
REPUBLICAN 
LEADERSHIP IN 
THE UNITED 
STATES SENATE 
WILL NOT SUPPORT 
IT. 
SO WHAT IS 
HAPPENING? 
WE DON'T HAVE 
THAT HELP. 
IT IS NOT OUT 
THERE. 
AND STATES ARE 
IN REAL TROUBLE. 
AND TO QUOTE MY 
GOOD FRIEND 
MITCH McCONNELL 
HE SAID LET THE 
STATES GO 
BANKRUPT. 
THE STATES HAVE 
TO BALANCE THEIR 
BUDGETS UNDER 
THE LAW. 
COMMUNITIES, 
COUNTIES, 
CITIES, THEY 
HAVE TO BALANCE 
THEIR BUDGET. 
THERE'S A REASON 
WHY THE FEDERAL 
GOVERNMENT IS 
ABLE TO RUN A 
DEFICIT. 
TO COMPENSATE IN 
TIMES OF REAL 
ECONOMIC CRISIS. 
AND WHAT IS 
HAPPENING? 
NOTHING. 
NOTHING. 
AND GUESS WHAT, 
WE CAME OUT OF 
THAT RECESSION 
WITH THE LONGEST 
SPURT OF 
ECONOMIC GROWTH 
OF ANY 
ADMINISTRATION 
IN AMERICAN 
HISTORY. 
BUT THESE GUYS 
-- I COULD GO 
ON. 
BUSINESSES. 
LOOK AT THE 
MONEY THAT WAS 
PASSED UNDER THE 
CARES ACT. 
FOR BUSINESSES. 
SMALL 
BUSINESSES. 
TO BE ABLE TO 
STAY OPEN. 
YOU HAVE TENS OF 
THOUSANDS OF 
THEM GOING OUT 
OF BUSINESS. 
MANY OF THEM
PERMANENTLY. 
WHY? 
BECAUSE THE 
MONEY DIDN'T GET 
TO SMALL 
BUSINESSES. 
THEY'RE NOT 
OPEN. 
WE SHOULD BE 
DEALING WITH 
THOSE -- THOSE 
BUSINESSES THAT 
HAVE BEEN BURNED 
OUT AND DAMAGED. 
WE SHOULD BE 
FINDING FEDERAL 
HELP FOR THOSE 
BUSINESSES TO 
HELP THEM GET 
BACK ON THEIR 
FEET. 
THIS 
ADMINISTRATION 
SEEMS TO THINK 
IT IS ALL OF A 
SUDDEN GOING TO 
GO AWAY LIKE 
ANGEL DUST IS 
SPREAD AROUND 
AND IT WILL BE 
OKAY. 
I JUST DON'T GET 
IT. 
THEY HAVE TO 
KNOW BETTER. 
THEY HAVE TO 
KNOW BETTER. 
AND WE HAD AN 
EXAMPLE JUST THE 
LAST 
ADMINISTRATION 
OF HOW MUCH GOOD 
YOU CAN DO AND 
HOW MUCH GROWTH 
YOU CAN 
GENERATE. 
I JUST DON'T GET 
THESE GUYS. 
I REALLY DON'T. 
NOT A JOKE. 
I'VE BEEN DOING 
THIS A LONG 
TIME. 
BUT I HAVE NEVER 
SEEN A PRESIDENT 
LACK AS MUCH 
LEADERSHIP, 
UNWILLING -- 
INABILITY TO 
MAKE A DEAL. 
>> THE REASON 
THAT THEY CAN'T 
GET ANYTHING 
DONE IN CONGRESS 
UNDER NO 
CIRCUMSTANCE ARE 
THEY GOING TO 
RAISE THE 
DEFICIT AT ALL. 
WELL, THAT'S 
WONDERFUL. 
WE'RE IN THE 
POSITION WE'RE 
IN NOW. 
LOOK AT OTHER 
COUNTRIES. 
THEY'RE DOING A 
HELL OF A LOT 
BETTER. 
WE HAVE UP TO 
186,000 PEOPLE 
DEAD. 
OVER 6 MILLION 
-- WHAT WAS IT 
6,300,000, 
WHATEVER THE 
NUMBER IS THAT 
HAVE CONTRACTED 
THE COMMITTEE 
DISEASE WITH NO 
END IN SIGHT. 
IT IS JUST 
IRRESPONSIBLE. 
TALK ABOUT A NO 
NOTHING CONGRESS 
ON THE 
REPUBLICAN SIDE. 
A NO NOTHING 
PRESIDENT. 
I MEAN, I DON'T 
GET T I REALLY 
DON'T GET IT. 
BUT IT IS GOING 
TO CHANGE COME 
JANUARY GOD 
WILLING. 
>> SIR, WHAT DO 
YOU SAY TO THE 
TEACHERS WHO ARE 
AFRAID TO RETURN 
TO THE CLASSROOM 
EVEN IF THE 
SAFETY PROTOCOLS 
THAT YOU HAVE 
PROPOSED ARE IN 
PLACE. 
>> I SAY THAT I 
UNDERSTAND THEIR 
CONCERN. 
BECAUSE SO MANY 
OF THE TEACHERS 
ALSO HAVE OTHER 
PREEXISTING 
CONDITIONS THAT 
LEND ITSELF TO 
THE FACT THAT IF 
THEY WERE TO 
CONTRACT THE 
COVID -- THE 
COVID DISEASE, 
COVID-19, THAT 
THEY WOULD BE 
VERY 
SUSCEPTIBLE, BE 
IN REAL TROUBLE. 
IT IS 
UNDERSTANDABLE 
WHY THEY ARE 
DOING T THE 
FIRST THING TO 
DO IS MAKE SURE 
THAT ALL OF THE 
PROTECTIVE 
CAPACITY THAT WE 
HAVE AVAILABLE 
TO US IS MADE 
AVAILABLE. 
AND THEN MAKE 
CHOICES ABOUT 
WHETHER OR NOT 
-- LET THE 
DISTRICTS MAKE 
CHOICES ABOUT 
WHETHER OR NOT 
THEY OPEN FULLY, 
WHETHER THEY 
ROTATE AND 
WHETHER OR NOT 
THE TEACHERS ARE 
ABLE TO TEACH 
FROM HOME AND 
REMOTE LEARNING. 
BUT I -- IT IS 
REALLY 
UNDERSTANDABLE 
WHY THEY WOULD. 
LOOK WHAT HAS 
HAPPENED IN THIS 
COVID CRISIS SO 
FAR. 
A HUNDRED 
MILLION -- A 
HUNDRED THOUSAND 
PEOPLE HAVE DIED 
WHO WERE ABOVE 
THE AGE OF 65. 
A HUNDRED 
THOUSAND OUT OF 
THE 200 OR 
SOMETHING THAT 
HAVE DIED. 
NOT THE 200 
SOMETHING. 
IT IS 189 OR 
WHATEVER IT IS 
NOW. 
ESTIMATED -- I 
HEARD TODAY THAT 
THE ESTIMATES 
RANGE FROM TWO 
SIGNIFICANT 
UNIVERSITIES. 
ONE IS AS MANY 
AS 239 I THINK 
AND ANOTHER ONE 
SAID BY 
DECEMBER, 312. 
I DON'T KNOW 
THAT. 
BUT THAT -- YOU 
KNOW, THAT'S 
GOING TO GO 
HIGHER. 
AND SO I JUST 
DON'T -- I DON'T 
UNDERSTAND WHY 
IT IS A 
POLITICAL 
PROBLEM. 
WHAT IS THE 
POLITICS ABOUT 
NOT BEING 
WILLING TO GO IN 
AND HELP PROVIDE 
THE PROTECTIVE 
CAPACITY FOR 
PEOPLE TO BE 
ABLE TO GO BACK 
TO WORK AND 
DON'T GO TO 
SCHOOL? 
I -- I JUST 
DON'T -- I CAN'T 
FATHOM IT. 
>> THANK YOU, 
MR. VICE 
PRESIDENT. 
YOU TALKED TODAY 
ABOUT REOPENING 
SCHOOLS. 
I WANT TO ASK 
YOU SOMETHING 
ABOUT YOU SAID 
ABOUT THE 
POTENTIAL OF 
HAVING TO SHUT 
DOWN THE ECONOMY 
AGAIN. 
YOU WERE ASKED 
IF YOU WOULD BE 
WILLING TO SHUT 
IT DOWN IF YOUR 
HEALTH EXPERTS 
ADVISED YOU TO 
SHUT THEM. 
I WOULD BE 
WILLING TO DO 
WHAT IT TAKES 
AND LISTEN TO 
THE SCIENCE. 
I WONDER HOW YOU 
WOULD DO THAT AT 
THE FEDERAL 
LEVEL IF HAD YOU 
ECONOMIC 
ADVISERS SAYING 
YOU DO THIS 
AGAINST YOU 
COULD PLUNGE THE 
COUNTRY INTO AN 
EVEN DEEPER 
ECONOMIC CRISIS. 
>> LOOK. 
I KNOW YOU'RE 
TIRED OF ME 
SAYING THIS. 
I'VE BEEN SAYING 
IT SINCE LAST 
JANUARY. 
THE IDEA THAT 
YOU'RE GOING TO 
BE ABLE TO GET 
THE ECONOMY BACK 
ON TRACK WITHOUT 
GETTING COVID 
UNDER CONTROL IS 
COMPLETELY 
COUNTER 
INTUITIVE. 
IT IS NOT THERE. 
IT CAN'T HAPPEN. 
SO UNLESS WE'RE 
ABLE TO DEAL 
WITH THE DISEASE 
AND DRASTICALLY 
CUT ITS IMPACT 
ON PEOPLE'S 
CONFIDENCE OF 
BEING ABLE TO 
EITHER GO TO 
WORK OR WALK 
INTO A BUSINESS 
OR DO BUSINESS, 
THEN IT DOESN'T 
MATTER. 
THERE'S GOING TO 
BE NO NEED IN MY 
VIEW TO SHUT 
DOWN THE WHOLLY 
ECONOMY. 
I WAS ASKED BY 
DAVID MUIR, IF I 
WAS ASKED TO 
SHUT EVERYTHING 
DOWN. 
I TOOK THAT AS A 
GENERIC 
QUESTION, AM I 
GOING TO FOLLOW 
THE SCIENCE. 
I AM GOING TO 
INSIST AND I 
INSIST NOW, IF I 
HAD ANY 
AUTHORITY, THAT 
ANY RESPONSIBLE 
PERSON IN THIS 
COUNTRY, WHEN 
THEY'RE OUT IN 
PUBLIC OR NOT 
WITH A COHORT 
THAT THEY HAVE 
LIVED WITH 
BECAUSE THEY 
KNOW THEY 
HAVEN'T SPREAD 
IT TO THEIR 
HUSBAND, WIFE, 
ET CETERA, THAT 
THEY WEAR A 
MASK. 
THAT THEY WEAR A 
MASK AND KEEP 
SOCIALLY 
DISTANCED. 
YOU CAN TAKE A 
MASK OFF WHEN 
YOU'RE 12, 15 
FEET AWAY. 
BUT I WOULD 
FOLLOW -- I 
WOULD REALLY, 
REALLY MAKE THE 
CASE. 
AND BY THE WAY, 
WHEN I FIND 
THESE FOLKS 
TALKING ABOUT MY 
FREEDOM, I TALK 
ABOUT 
PATRIOTISM. 
WHY DO YOU WEAR 
A MASK? 
TO PROTECT YOUR 
NEIGHBOR. 
TO KEEP SOMEONE 
ELSE FROM 
GETTING SICK AND 
MAYBE DYING. 
I CALL THAT 
PATRIOTIC. 
THIS IS THE 
UNITED STATES OF 
AMERICA. 
EVERY GENERATION 
HAS MADE 
SACRIFICES TO 
HELP OTHERS IN 
MOMENT OF 
CRISIS. 
>> YOU SUGGESTED 
THERE WOULD BE 
SOME KIND OF A 
FEDERAL MANDATE 
ABOUT MASKS. 
NOW YOU'RE 
SAYING -- 
>> NO. 
NO. 
HERE'S -- WHAT I 
SUGGESTED WAS I 
WOULD ASK EVERY 
PERSON IN 
AUTHORITY -- 
THERE'S A 
QUESTION WHETHER 
OR NOT A 
PRESIDENT UNDER 
THE CONSTITUTION 
COULD MANDATE 
EVERYONE WEAR A 
MASK. 
DURING THE 
PRIMARY I HAD A 
LOT OF PEOPLE 
SAY I WOULD USE 
THE EXECUTIVE 
ORDER. 
I'M A 
CONSTITUTIONALIST. 
YOU CAN'T DO 
WHAT THE 
CONSTITUTION 
DOESN'T ALLOW 
YOU TO DO. 
I WOULD PUT 
PRESSURE ON 
EVERY GOVERNOR 
AND SENATOR -- 
EXCUSE ME, EVERY 
MAYOR, EVERY 
COUNTY 
EXECUTIVE, EVERY 
LOCAL OFFICIAL. 
AND EVERYONE IN 
BUSINESS. 
PUT PRESSURE ON 
THEM TO SAY WHAT 
YOU'RE DOING IS 
IRRESPONSIBLE. 
MAKE SURE YOU 
WEAR A MASK AND 
MAINTAIN SOCIAL 
DISTANCING. 
AND THE VAST 
MAJORITY OF 
AMERICANS 
BELIEVE THAT. 
>> YOUHOW ARE 
YOU GOING TO 
SPEND THE MONEY 
YOU RAISED. 
>> DO YOU WANT 
TO GO TO DINNER? 
NO. 
I TELL YOU WHAT, 
LOOK, WHAT I'M 
HAVING TO SPEND 
A LOT OF IT ON 
IS COUNTER THE 
LIES THAT ARE 
BEING TOLD BY MY 
-- BY TRUMP'S 
CAMPAIGN AND 
SWITCH VOTERS 
OUT THERE, A NEW 
PAC. 
WHAT I'M TRYING 
TO DO IS SPEND 
MOST OF THAT -- 
BY THE WAY THE 
AVERAGE 
CONTRIBUTION WAS 
40 BUCKS. 
I WOULD SAY THAT 
SHOWS ENTHUSIASM 
ABOUT MAKING 
SURE THAT WE 
HAVE A CHANCE TO 
BECOME THE 
PRESIDENT OF THE 
UNITED STATES. 
AND SO WHAT I 
WILL SPEND MOST 
OF IT DOING IS 
TRYING TO 
EXPLAIN TO THE 
AMERICAN PEOPLE 
HOW I WANT TO 
UNITE THE 
COUNTRY, WHAT I 
WANT TO DO TO 
MAKE THE COUNTRY 
BETTER. 
WHY I'M SO 
CONFIDENT THAT 
WE CAN DO IT. 
WHY I'M SO 
CONFIDENT THAT 
WE CAN BRING THE 
COUNTRY TOGETHER 
AND BE IN A 
BETTER POSITION 
THAN BEFORE THIS 
CRISIS OCCURRED. 
BECAUSE THERE'S 
BEEN SO MANY 
EXPOSED AS A 
CONSEQUENCE OF 
WHAT HAS 
HAPPENED THAT 
PEOPLE ARE 
REALIZING, MY 
LORD, I DIDN'T 
KNOW THAT PEOPLE 
IN THAT 
CIRCUMSTANCE 
DIDN'T HAVE THAT 
KIND OF HELP. 
I DIDN'T KNOW 
WHATEVER. 
AND SO I THINK 
WE HAVE AN 
ENORMOUS 
OPPORTUNITY TO 
BRING THE 
COUNTRY 
TOGETHER. 
AND ONCE AGAIN, 
LEAD THE WORLD. 
YOU HEARD ME SAY 
IT A HUNDRED 
TIMES. 
NOT JUST BY THE 
EXAMPLE OF OUR 
POWER, BUT THE 
POWER OF OUR 
EXAMPLE. 
THANK YOU SO 
MUCH FOR TAKING 
THE TIME. 
THANK YOU. 
>> THANKS, YOU 
GUYS. 
>> I KNOW YOU 
ALWAYS ASK THE 
HOSTILE QUESTION 
BUT GO AHEAD. 
>> SO YOU SAID 
THAT YOU -- YOU 
SAID THAT YOU 
WARNED PRESIDENT 
TRUMP IN JANUARY 
THAT THERE WAS 
GOING TO BE A 
PANDEMIC AND 
WHAT NEEDED TO 
BE DONE. 
IF YOU KNEW 
THAT, THEN WHY 
WERE YOU STILL 
HOSTING CROWDED 
CAMPAIGN RALLIES 
IN MARCH? 
>> NO. 
WHAT I TALKED 
ABOUT WAS NOT 
HAD TO BE DONE. 
I SAID YOU HAVE 
TO TAKE THIS 
SERIOUSLY. 
YOU'VE GOT TO 
INSIST THAT WE 
HAVE ACCESS TO 
WUHAN. 
INSIST THAT WE 
HAVE ACCESS TO 
CHINA TO FIND 
OUT FOR 
OURSELVES. 
WE 44 PEOPLE 
FROM THE CDC 
THERE. 
YOU CANNOT TALK 
ABOUT THE 
PRESIDENT OF 
CHINA SAYING HE 
DID A MARVELOUS 
JOB, HE IS DOING 
A GREAT JOB. 
WHEN IT GOT UP 
TO MARCH, I 
SAID, LOOK, YOU 
HAVE TO INVOKE 
-- YOU REMEMBER. 
I MAY HAVE BEEN 
THE FIRST. 
CALLING ABOUT 
THE DEFENSE 
PROTECTION ACT. 
WE DON'T HAVE 
ENOUGH -- IT IS 
AMAZING WE USE A 
PHRASE LIKE PPE 
AND THE PUBLIC 
KNOWS WHAT THAT 
IS NOW. 
USE THAT 
AUTHORITY. 
USE IT TO GO OUT 
THERE NOW AND 
DON'T WAIT. 
AND DON'T WAIT 
TO TALK ABOUT 
THE NEED FOR US 
TO HAVE MASKS. 
AND DON'T WAIT 
ABOUT THE NEED 
TO -- THAT'S 
WHAT I TALKED 
ABOUT. 
AND THEN I BEGAN 
TO LAY OUT FOR 
HIM -- WE 
ACTUALLY HAD A 
CONVERSATION. 
I CAN'T REMEMBER 
WHEN IT WAS. 
I THINK IT WAS 
MARCH. 
MAYBE IT WAS 
APRIL. 
IN THAT RANGE. 
AND HE SAID IF 
BIDEN WANTS TO 
HELP, I WILL 
TALK TO HIM. 
I LAID OUT WHAT 
I THOUGHT SHOULD 
BE DONE TO 
REOPEN SAFELY 
AND THE THINGS 
WE SHOULD DO. 
AND HE WAS VERY 
POLITE. 
HE LISTENED AND 
HE SAID HE WOULD 
THINK ABOUT IT. 
AND THAT WAS THE 
END OF IT. 
AND SO WHAT I 
WOULD BEGIN TO 
BECOME REALLY 
CLEAR IS THAT AS 
THE SIGNS BEGAN 
TO SHOW THAT 
THIS WAS ABLE TO 
SPREAD MUCH MORE 
EASILY THAN 
PEOPLE THOUGHT. 
TWO ISSUES, WAS 
A PANDEMIC 
COMING AND HOW 
DID IT MOST -- 
WHAT IS THE MOST 
WAY THAT IT DID 
THE MOST DAMAGE. 
AND AS THAT 
BECAME CLEARER 
AND CLEARER, WE 
CONCLUDED THAT 
WE JUST CAN'T 
CONTINUE TO HAVE 
THESE LARGE 
RALLIES. 
AND, YOU KNOW, 
THINK ABOUT IT. 
HERE WE ARE THE 
REST OF THE 
WORLD, THE 
PLACES THAT HAVE 
DONE EXTREMELY 
WELL IN TERMS OF 
DEALING WITH 
THIS COVID 
CRISIS AROUND 
THE WORLD, YOU 
KNOW, WE HAVE 
THE FIVE LARGEST 
COUNTRIES IN 
EUROPE HAVE A 
POPULATION 
LARGER THAN THE 
UNITED STATES OF 
AMERICA. 
AUGUST, WE ARE 
LOSING 1000 
LIVES A DAY AND 
THEY ARE LOSING 
57 A DAY 
COMBINED. 
COMBINED. 
ALL OF THEM, 
COMBINED. 
SO, I JUST 
DON'T, AS WE 
LEARN MORE, BY 
MARCH AND APRIL 
WE KNEW A WHOLE 
HECK OF A LOT 
MORE. 
WHY WEREN'T WE 
DOING WHAT 
NEEDED TO BE 
DONE. 
THE ONE BIG 
THING THAT I DID 
PUSH A LOT ON, I 
WASN'T THE ONLY 
ONE, BUT THE 
NEED FOR TESTING 
AND TRACING. 
AND MOVING 
RAPIDLY TO MAKE 
SURE THAT YOU 
HAVE THE 
CAPACITY TO TEST.
WE NEED TO DO 
THAT NOW. 
HERE IS THE 
THING AND I WILL 
END WITH THIS, I 
APOLOGIZE FOR 
KEEPING YOU. 
THE THING THAT I 
JUST DON'T QUITE 
UNDERSTAND, IS 
WHEN IT IS CLEAR 
THAT SOME OF THE 
THINGS THAT THE 
PRESIDENT SAYS 
ARE SIMPLY NOT 
TRUE. 
RELATING TO THIS 
CRISIS. 
AND WHEN 
ENORMOUS PRESSURE
IS PUT ON 
PROFESSIONALS IN 
THE 
ADMINISTRATION, 
FROM THE CDC, TO 
NIH ACROSS THE 
BOARD, WHY DO WE 
THINK GOD 
WILLING, WHEN WE 
GET A VACCINE, 
THAT IS GOOD, 
WORKS, WHY DO WE 
THINK THEY WILL 
LINE UP AND BE 
WILLING TO TAKE 
THE INJECTION? 
WE HAVE LOST SO 
MUCH CONFIDENCE, 
THE AMERICAN 
PEOPLE, IN WHAT 
IS SAID. 
WE ARE FINDING 
OUT AGAIN TODAY, 
PLASMA, THAT 
DOESN'T QUITE 
WORK THE WAY WE 
WERE TOLD IT WAS.
THIS PRESIDENT 
HAS SET SO MANY 
THINGS, THAT ARE 
UNTRUE, THAT ARE 
JUST WRONG, IN 
ORDER TO DO 
ANYTHING HE 
LOOKS AT IT ONE 
WAY, IF THE 
STOCK MARKET IS 
HIGH, AND IS 
MOVING, AND WE 
ARE REDUCING THE 
NUMBER OF PEOPLE 
WHO ARE IN REAL 
TROUBLE 
ECONOMICALLY, 
THEN IT DOESN'T 
MATTER WHAT I 
SAY. 
THAT IS THE 
OBJECTIVE. 
THAT IS THE 
OBJECTIVE. 
THE OBJECTIVE IS 
TO KEEP THE 
AMERICAN PEOPLE 
SAFE, SO WE CAN 
BEGIN TO GET 
BACK TO NORMAL, 
REBUILDING OUR 
ECONOMY. 
AND BRINGING 
BACK ECONOMIC 
GROWTH.

EXTREMELY 
DANGEROUS, 
ADDING JET PACK

ADDITION.K-HOIO 
GOOD MORNING! 
>> IS NOT BACK 
TO SCHOOL THE 
WAY WE ARE USED 
TO, RIGHT? 
WE ARE GSNOT 
FOCUSED ON 
CLOTHES BECAUSE 
LET'S FACE IT A 
LOT OF INUS ARE 
DOING THINGS 
FROM HOME RIGHT 
NOW, SO IT IS 
REALLY BUSINESS 
ON TOP, PARTY ON 
THE BOTTOM. 
IN OUR FAMILY WE 
HAVE HAD TO BUY 
THINGS WE 
WOULDN'T 
NORMALLY 
OTHERWISE BY 
LIKE A TABLET 
FOR OUR FOUR-
YEAR-OLD, -OBE
BECAUSE OF THE 
VIRTUAL 
LEARNING, SHE 
CAN'T SHARE WITH 
HER SISTERS 
ANYMORE. 
WE ARE TALKING 
ABOUT MORE THAN 
$1000 OF THE 
AVERAGE HEMEAMERICA 
FAMILY EXPECTING 
TO SPEND, THAT 
IS ACCORDING TO 
THE 
INTERNATIONAL 
COUNCIL OF 
SHOPPING CENTER, 
THAT IS ABOUT 
$100 FROM LAST 
YEAR. 
>>> WHEN WE LOOK 
AT BACK-TO-
SCHOOL SHOPPING 
AND WHAT WE 
OUGHT TO BE 
BUYING, I HAVE HAA 
BACKPACK THAT I 
DID BRING, BUT 
YOU WILL WANT TO 
STOP THEM AT THE 
MASKS. 
YOU WILL WANT TO 
LABEL 
EVERYTHING, THE 
OTHER THING TO 
THINK ABOUT HIS 
HEADPHONES, 
WHETHER YOU ARE 
AT HOME OR IN 
CLASS, YOU WILL 
NEED HEADPHONES. 
THIS IS REALLY 
IMPORTANT, 
SOMETHING I WANT 
TO MENTION, THE 
REUSABLE WATER 
BOTTLES. 
THERE ARE 
CONCERNS THAT 
BECAUSE OUR 
SCHOOLON HAVE BEEN 
STAGNANT SINCE 
BASICALLY LAST 
SPRING, NO 
SUMMER SCHOOL, 
UNLESS YOU ARE 
SURE THAT YOUR 
SCHOOL HAS 
FLUSHED ITS 
WATER SYSTEM AND 
THAT THEY HAVE 
SAFELY TESTED 
THE WATER, YOU 
FF
WANT TO BRING UN
A 
WATER BOTTLE FOR 
YOUR KIDS. 
>> THAT IS 
SMART! 
>> THEY SHUT OFF 
THE WATER AN
FOUNTAINS AT OUR 
SCHOOL. 
THEY ARE NOT 
EVEN ALLOWING 
KIDS. 
>> DO YOU THINK 
THE DISPOSABLE 
ONES ARE GOOD? 
OR SHOULD THEY TLI
GET THE TWO PLY 
ONES THAT YOU 
WASHED YOUR 
>> DISPOSABLE 
ONES WORK 
PERFECTLY FINE, 
I AM SORT OF A 
GREEN NERD, SO I 
LIKE THE 
REUSABLE, I LIKE 
THE WASHING AND 
KIDS CAN  LTAKE 
THEM OUT SO THEY 
FEEL MORE 
INVESTED, IT IS 
LIKE THERE COOL 
MATH OR THING 
THAT THEY HAVE A 
LITTLE BIT OF 
STYLE TO NKSHOW. 
>> YOU GIVE ME A 
TIP THAT I THINK 
WORKED AND FOR 
FOLKS WHO 
HAVEN'T YET SENT 
THEIR KIDS BACK 
TO SCHOOL, IF 
YOU LET YOUR 
CHILD WEAR A 
MASK DURING 
SCREEN TIME, 
THEY INBUILD UP, 
AND HALEY IS UP 
TO LIKE AN HOUR 
A DAY, I THINK 
IT IS COOL. 
IT IS A GOOD WAY 
TO DO IT. 
>> WHAT ABOUT 
REMOTE LEARNING, 
IN TERMS OF 
LAPTOPS? 
WHAT SHOULD 
PEOPLE BE 
LOOKING FOR 
THERE? 
>> $500 AND 
UNDER, MAJOR 
SHORTAGE RIGHT 
NOW FOR PARENTS, 
IT IS REALLY 
TOUGH, BUT GOOD UNNT
NEWS, THIS IS  G A
LABOR DAY 
WEEKEND, MAJOR 
DEALS HAPPENING 
RIGHT NOW. 
HP AND DELL 
HAVING SOME 
SALES THIS 
WEEKEND, SO 
CHECK OUT THE 
ADS NOW SO YOU 
CAN STRATEGIZE 
ON HOW TO .GET 
THEM, THEY ARE 
DOING A BUNDLE, 
IT LOOKS LIKE 
$300 FOR BUA 
TABLET AND A 
SMART CLOCK, 
THIS IS THE YEAR 
THE TIME OF YEAR 
THAT APPLE  ATO 
THAT WE HAVE 
THEIR DEALS ON 
COMPUTERS AND 
TABLETS, YOU 
WANT TO ASK FOR 
THE EDUCATION 
PRICING AND MAKE 
SURE YOU GET THE HA
FREE AIR PODS 
THAT WILL BE 
COMING WITH IT. 
>> WELL, WHAT 
ABOUT SOME 
SCHOOLS ARE 
GOING OUTDOOR, 
SO YOU WANT YOUR 
KID TO N'BE READY, 
IF THEY ARE 
GOING TO HAVE TO 
SORT OF BE READY 
FOR THAT. 
WHAT DO THEY 
NEED TO KNOW? 
>> WE NEED TO 
PREPARE THEM 
WITH WATER, 
PLENTY OF 
SUNSCREEN, BRING 
A HAT IF IT IS  A
SUNNY AND DON'T 
FORGET IF YOU 
LIVE IN A PLACE 
WHERE BUGS ARE 
AN ISSUE, BRING 
INSECT REPELLENT 
IN THE BACKPACK 
ALSO. 
THE OTHER THING 
IS SOME PARENTS 
ARE ACTUALLY 
BEING ASKED TO 
BRING CAMPING 
GEAR LIKE 
FOLDABLE CHAIRS 
AND CLIPBOARDS 
BECAUSE YOU ARE 
MAKING A 
MAKESHIFT DESK 
OUT THERE. 
IS A McIVER 
CLASSROOM. 
>> WILD TIMES! 
>> [WH  ALAUGHTER ] 
>> WHAT ABOUT AT 
HOME, CARSON WAS 
TALKING ABOUT 
THIS, CREATING A 
LEARNING SPACE 
FOR YOUR KID IF 
THEY ARE REMOTE 
LEARNING, HOW 
DOES THAT LOOK 
AND WHAT DO YOU 
BEGIN WITH? 
>> IF THEY ARE 
IN A HYBRID 
SITUATION WHICH 
WE ARE, THERE IS 
A HOME LEARNING 
AREA, AND THEN 
THERE WILL BE A 
SCHOOL LEARNING 
AREA! 
THIS IS SO 
IMPORTANT. 
IT DOESN'T HAVE 
TO BE BIG BUT  O
YOU WANT TO 
DESIGNATE A 
SPACE FOR YOUR 
CHILD, TO SIT 
IN, THAT IS 
QUIET, AWAY FROM 
DISTRACTIONS, IT 
CANNOT BE RIGHT 
NEXT TO >>THE 
GAMES. 
WE HAD THIS 
REALLY COOL, 
THERE ARE THESE 
PHONE LAPTOP 
STANDS, AND 
TABLET STANDS 
THAT YOU CAN 
USE, IF THEY 
REALLY POSITION 
THE TABLET AT 
THE RIGHT ANGLE, 
BECAUSE A LOT OF 
TIMES, YOU'RE 
TRYING TO LOOK 
AT THE TEACHER 
AND DO SOMETHING 
AT THE SAME 
TIME. 
YOU CAN FIND 
SOME OF THOSE 
EXTRA SUPPLIES 
ON YOUR TYPICAL 
WEBSITE, LIKE 
WAFER, IKEA, 
TARGET, DESKS 
AND CHAIRS FOR 
KIDS RIGHT NOW, 
THERE IS A BIG 
RUN ON THOSE, IF 
YOU NEED ONE, 
START SHOPPING 
EARLY. 
>> A LOT 
OF 
SCHOOLS THEY 
RE SAYING OR 
DOING MUSIC 
CLASS OR IN 
PERSON THINGS 
LIKE THAT. 
THEY AREN'T 
DOING TSPORTS, SO 
WE WERE TALKING 
ABOUT, IT IS 
IMPORTANT WHAT 
YOU DO WITH YOUR 
CHILD FROM THE 
TIME THEY GET 
OUT OF SCHOOL AT 
3:30 PM UNTIL 
BEDTIME, TRYING 
TO WORK SOME OF 
THOSE THINGS 
AND. 
>> HAVE A 
SCHEDULE BUT 
DON'T BEAT 
YOURSELF UP OVER 
IT IF YOU DON'T 
GET TO 
EVERYTHING ON 
THE LIST. 
>> IF YOU ARE 
HOME LEARNING, 
WHAT I LIKE TO  
DO IS MAKE SURE 
THAT I HAVE ROOM 
BEHIND THEM, SO 
THAT AS A PARENT 
AND THAT I CAN 
COME IN AND 
EMBARRASS MY 
KIDS WITH OMA 
LITTLE ACTION ON 
THE ZOOM. 
>> OH, THE LOOK 
ON THEIR FACE! 
>> [ LAUGHTER ] 
>> THEY HAVE NO 
IDEA! 
>> [ LAUGHTER ] 
>> THEY ARE LIKE 
IS THAT THE GUY 
FROM THE VOICE?! 
>> [ LAUGHTER ] 
>> GOOD TO SEE 
YOU, WE WILL SEE 
YOU IN THE THIRD 
HOUR. 
>>> FOR MORE ON 
WHERE WE STAND 
WITH THE VACCINE 
PLUS HOW TO STAY 
SAFE DURING 
INDOOR 
ACTIVITIES WE 
HAVE DOCTOR 
JOHN, AND DOCTOR 
NATALIE, GOOD 
MORNING TO BOTH 
OF YOU, LET ME 
START WITH YOU 
AND DIG IN HERE, 
I GUESS MOST OF 
PORTLY, WHERE DO 
WE STAND RIGHT 
NOW WITH THE 
VACCINE, AND 
WHAT DOES THE 
TIMELINE LOOK 
LIKE FOR 
APPROVAL? 
>> GOOD MEMORNING 
CHANELLE, WITH 
THE VACCINE 
RIGHT NOW THERE 
ARE THREE MAJOR 
COMPANIES THAT 
HAVE GONE INTO 
PHASE 3 HERE IN 
THE U.S., 
MADONNA, PFIZER, 
AND THE OXFORD 
VACCINE, THEY 
ARE STARTING TO 
RECRUIT PEOPLE, 
THEY WILL GET 
AROUND 30,000 
PEOPLE, THEY 
WILL GIVE  PTHEM 
THE VACCINE OR A 
PLACEBO. 
THEY WILL FOLLOW 
THEM ALONG TO 
SEE IF THEY GET 
THE VIRUS. 
IF THEY CAGET THE 
VIRUS AND HAVE 
LESS 
PUBLICATIONS, 
WHICH IS WHAT 
THEY ARE LOOKING 
FOR, TO FIND OUT 
ABOUT THE SAFETY 
AND EFFICACY, 
THE 
EFFECTIVENESS OF 
THE VACCINE, 
THIS WILL TAKE A YLE
WHILE. 
THIS WILL TAKE A 
FEW MONTHS, SO 
WHEN YOU HEAR 
THAT WE MIGHT 
HAVE THE VACCINE 
BY THE ELECTION 
OR THE END OF 
THE YEAR, A LOT 
OF EXPERTS I 
TALKED TO SAY 
MAYBE LATE 
WINTER, EARLY 
SPRING BEFORE WE 
START GETTING IT 
ALTHOUGH THEY 
MIGHT GET 
EMERGENCY 
OPERATION THAT 
DOCTOR ANTHONY 
WAS TALKING 
ABOUT FOR 
SOMEBODY WISHES. 
>> VACCINE IS 
APPROVED, 
DISTRIBUTION 
WILL BE THE KEY 
OBSTACLE, HOW 
LAWMAKERS DECIDE 
WHO GETS  TTEIT 
FIRST? 
>> DISTRIBUTION 
WILL BE THE BIG 
KEY HERE IN THE 
NATIONAL ACADEMY 
OF SCIENCES CAME 
UP WITH A 
RECOMMENDATION 
LOOKING AT WHAT 
THEY CALL 4 
PHASES OF 
VACCINE 
DISTRIBUTION, 
AND HOPEFULLY 
THIS 
RECOMMENDATION 
IS FOLLOWED BUT 
THE CDC 
OPERATION WARP 
SPEED WILL BE 
INVOLVED,TI THEY 
ARE TRYING TO 
DECIDE, YOU  DCAN 
SEE RIGHT THERE 
ESSENTIALLY WHAT 
IT BREAKS DOWN 
TO IS THE REFIRST 
PHASE WILL BE 
HEALTHCARE 
WORKERS ENIN THE 
FRONT LINES WHO 
CAN'T GET AWAY 
FROM COVID-19 
PATIENTS, THEY 
HAVE TO BE 
THERE, IT ONWILL HE
BE PEOPLE WITH 
PRE-EXISTING 
MEDICAL 
CONDITIONS  AND 
THE ELDERLY  AWHO 
ARE MORE 
VULNERABLE. 
THEN SWITCH TO 
PHASE 2, THOSE 
ARE MORE OF THE 
CRITICAL 
WORKERS, THE OR
ESSENTIAL 
WORKERS, THEY 
HAVE TO GO OUT 
THERE TO KEEP 
SOCIETY WORKING 
BUT THEY MIGHT 
ALSO BE EXPOSED, 
THEY MIGHT TAKE 
COVID-19 BACK 
HOME AND GET 
SOME OF THE 
ELDERLY AND 
THOSE WITH PRE-
EXISTING 
CONDITIONS AND 
PHASE 3 
SE ARE THE 
CHILDREN, SO 
ADULT AND THEN 
PHASE 4 IS 
ESSENTIALLY 
EVERYBODY, THE 
PHASES MANIAC 
EVERYBODY, WE 
CAN'T GIVE 330 
MILLION 
VACCINATIONS ALL 
AT ONCE SO THEY 
WILL BREAK  AIT 
DOWN AND HOPE WE 
CAN GET THE HERD 
IMMUNITY WHICH 
MEANS WHAT'S 
ONCE WE GET THE 
HERD IMMUNITY, 
WE CAN GET THE 
PANDEMIC MORE 
UNDER CONTROL. 
>> I WANT TO ASK 
YOU WHAT WE CALL 
A WATERCOOLER 
QUESTION. 
A LOT OF PEOPLE 
ARE WORRIED THAT 
THIS IS SFRANKLY 
MOVING TOO FAST, 
SO HERE'S MY 
QUESTION, IF THE 
VACCINE WAS 
APPROVED FOR 
EMERGENCY USE, 
LET'S SAY 
TOMORROW, WOULD 
YOU BE WILLING 
TO GET IT IN  LDTHE 
FIRST WAVE? 
>> CHANELLE, IT 
DEPENDS ON WHAT 
THE DATA COMES 
OUT WITH. 
THAT IS WHAT 
DOCTOR ANTHONY 
WAS TALKING 
ABOUT, LOOKING 
AT THE DATA, 
MAKING SURE THAT 
IT IS ACCEPTABLE T 
THAT WE HAVE 
ENOUGH THROUGH 
THE PHASE 3, 
THAT WE 
UNDERSTAND THE 
SAFETY PRIMARILY 
AND THE 
EFFECTIVENESS OF 
IT. 
THAT IS THE 
IMPORTANT PART 
HERE. 
>> COVERED A LOT 
OF GROUND THERE! ER
THANK YOU FOR 
YOUR TIME THIS 
MORNING. 
>>> NOW, LET'S 
BRING IN RIR.DOCTOR 
NATALIE, GOOD 
MORNING AND I 
WANT TO START 
WITH THIS INDOOR 
DINING, AND I AM 
JUST NOW 
STARTING TATO FEEL 
KIND OF 
COMFORTABLE WITH 
OUTDOOR DINING, 
BUT NOW, A LOT 
OF RESTAURANTS 
OPENING UP 
INDOORS, HOW DO 
THEY KEEP IT 
SAFE? 
WHAT ARE THEIR 
BIGGEST >>
CONCERNS? 
>> CERTAINLY, 
THE DATA FROM 
THIS SUMMER HAS 
DEFINITELY SHOWN 
THAT A LOT OF 
COMMUNITY 
OUTBREAKS 
HAPPENED IN THE 
SETTING OF 
RESTAURANTS AND 
BARS AND I THINK 
YOU CAN THINK 
ABOUT THE RISK 
OF DINING AS 
SORT OF A 
GRADIENT RISK 
WITH THE LOWEST 
RISK BEING TAKE-
OUT, DELIVERY, 
DRIVE-THROUGH, 
CURBSIDE, AND 
THE HIGHEST 
RISK, BEING 
ASSOCIATED WITH 
INDOOR AND 
OUTDOOR DINING, 
ON-SITE, WHERE 
THEY HAVEN'T 
REDUCED CAPACITY,
AND HAVEN'T BEEN 
ABLE TO SPACE 
PAGE IS A GOOD 
SIX FEET APART. 
>>> IS THAT WHAT 
RESTAURANTS NEED 
TO DO, IS SPACE 
PEOPLE SIX FEET 
APART INSIDE? 
DO THEY HAVE TO 
CHANGE THE WHOLE 
HVAC SYSTEM 
WITHIN THE 
BUILDING? 
WHAT MAKES IT 
POSSIBLE FOR 
FOLKS TO DINE 
INSIDE? 
>> THE CDC HAS 
GREAT GUIDANCE 
FOR RESTAURANT 
ON THIS, AND I ST
THINK YOU CAN 
SORT OF DIVIDED 
INTO TWO 
DIFFERENT 
CATEGORIES. 
ONE CAN BE 
PHYSICAL, AND RIND
ONE CATEGORIZING 
AS CATCH. 
YOU WANT TO 
SPACE OPEOPLE OUT,
YOU CAN PUT UP 
PLEXIGLAS 
BARRIERS, 
BETWEEN THE 
HOSTESS OR EVEN 
BETWEEN DINERS, 
AND ALSO HAVE 
TAPE ON THE 
FLOOR, YOU CAN 
TELL WHERE YOU 
ARE SUPPOSED TO 
GO, WHERE YOU 
ARE SUPPOSED TO 
BE SEATED. 
I AM SURE YOU 
GUYS HAVE ALL 
SEEN THIS BEFORE 
THESE VIRTUAL 
MENUS, WHERE 
YOU, MY KIDS 
HAVE TO 
HELP ME 
WITH IT 
SOMETIMES, BUT 
ALSO INSTEAD OF 
USING BUZZERS TO  
TELL YOU THAT 
YOUR TABLE IS 
READY, YOU CAN 
HAVE AN APP THAT 
DOES THAT. 
TOUCHLESS 
PAYMENT, ALL OF 
THESE THINGS 
THAT ENABLE US 
TO AVOID SHARED 
OBJECTS, AND 
SOME OTHER JE
THINGS LIKE 
ORDERING AHEAD 
OF TIME SO YOU UC
ARE NOT SPENDING 
SO MUCH TIME IN 
THE RESTAURANT 
WHILE WAITING, 
AND JUST 
GENERALLY USING 
A LOT OF 
 G
DISPOSABLE 
THINGS, UTENSILS 
AND THINGS LIKE 
THAT. 
AGAIN, IKJUST NOT 
PASSING AROUND 
AND SHARING 
GERMS FROM ONE 
PERSON TO 
ANOTHER. 
>> LET'S TALK 
ABOUT ANOTHER 
HUGE 
INTERACTIVITY. 
BASED -- THERE 
ROLLING OUT 
MONTHLY 
RANDOMIZED 
TESTING FOR THE 
TEACHERS AND FOR 
THE STUDENTS, SO 
IS THIS A  GOOD 
WAY TO TSTRACK 
POSITIVE CASES, 
THIS RANDOMIZED 
TESTING, AND I 
MEAN HOW SAFE IS 
IT TO TAKE 
CLASSES IN 
PERSON RIGHT 
NOW? 
>> IF WE HAD ALL 
DAY TO TALK 
ABOUT THIS, SO 
LET'S START WITH 
THE FACT THAT 
PUBLIC HEALTH 
EXPERTS HAVE 
BEEN SAYING 
LITERALLY FOR 
MONTHS NOW, THAT 
WE WOULD LOVE TO 
BE ABLE OUTO HAVE 
THESE RAPID 
POINT-OF-CARE 
TESTS, WHETHER 
IT IS SALIVA, OR 
ANTIGEN TESTING, 
TO BE ABLE TO LI
TEST LARGE 
GROUPS OF PEOPLE 
WHO WILL BE IN 
CONCORD 
SETTINGS, 
WHETHER IT IS 
SCHOOLS OR 
FACTORIES OR 
THINGS LIKE 
THAT. 
WHAT I WOULD SAY 
IS SOME TESTING 
INTUITIVELY IS 
BETTER THAN NO 
TESTING AT ALL. 
IS IT  NINGOING TO 
BE ENOUGH? 
I DON'T KNOW. 
AND I THINK TIME 
WILL TELL. 
I DON'T LIKE TO 
SAY THAT WHEN IT 
HAS TO DO WITH 
PEOPLE'S LIVES, 
BUT TRULY I FEEL 
LIKE THAT IS 
WHERE WE ARE 
WITH THIS. 
>> I THINK 
THAT'S TESTING 
IS A AN 
IMPORTANT PIECE, 
BECAUSE IT IS 
SAFETY 
PREVENTION 
MEDICATION IN 
ADDITION TO 
ADEQUATE 
VENTILATION, 
SOCIALLY 
DISTANCED
 STAFF, 
MAKING SURE THAT 
STUDENTS AND 
EDUCATORS HAVE 
APPROPRIATE 
MASKS AND PPE. 
ONE OF THE MOST 
IMPORTANT THINGS 
THAT THEY 
HIGHLIGHT ALSO 
IN THE NEW YORK 
CITY AREA, IS 
THAT THERE IS A 
POSITIVE CASE IN 
ONE CLASSROOM, 
THAT WHOLE 
CLASSROOM  WIN 
QUARANTINE TO 
CONTACT TRACE. 
IF THERE IS MORE 
THAN ONE CLASS 
AFFECTED THE 
WHOLE SCHOOL .
SHUTS DOWN, AND 
THE SCHOOL MOVES 
TO REMOTE 
LEARNING, IS A 
SEVEN DAY 
AVERAGE 
POSITIVITY IN 
THE CITY, AND IT 
IS 3% OR HIGHER. 
SO AGAIN, THE 
TESTING PART IS 
JUST ONE PIECE 
OF THIS VERY 
MOVING PUZZLE 
BOARD, WE WILL 
SEE WHAT HAPPENS.
SO MANY FACTORS 
TO TAKE NGINTO 
CONSIDERATION 
REGARDING BACK 
TO SCHOOL. 
>> CERTAINLY. 
>> I KNOW, WE 
COULD TALK ABOUT 
IT ALL DAY, WE 
HAVE SO MANY 
CONCERNS. 
THANK YOU FOR 
CALLING SOME OF 
THOSE CONCERNS, 
WE APPRECIATE IT.
>>> AMONG THE 
CHAOS, A FATHER 
TRYING TO TEACH 
HIS SON ABOUT 
PEACE. 
>> WE DON'T HAVE 
TO RETALIATE 
WITH ANGER. 
WE RETALIATE 
WITH LOVE. 
THAT IS WHY WE 
ARE DOWN HERE. 
THERE IS ALWAYS 
ANOTHER WAY. 
>> THAT IS ALL I 
WANT THEM TO 
SEE. 
>> THIS IS A 
SITUATION WHERE 
THE STATE 
CONTINUES TO 
STRUGGLE TO 
EXPAND ITS 
TESTING 
CAPABILITY. 
>> PROTESTERS 
FEEL THAT THEY 
NEED TO COME OUT 
IN FULL FORCE 
AND SUPPORT 
THEIR COMMUNITY, 
BECAUSE THEY 
FEEL LIKE THEY 
ARE NOT GETTING 
THAT SUPPORT 
FROM THE POLICE. 
>> ANOTHER 
ELECTION DAY 
COMING UP

BLACK WOMAN, A 
DAUGHTER OF 
IMMIGRANTS, A 
WIFE AND MOTHER 
OF A HUSBAND AND 
KIDS WHO SADLY

THAT SHIP, AND

JUST INCREDIBLE 
THAT THEY DON'T

THE MAYOR LAST 
NIGHT, HE WAS 
RATED, HIS HOME 
WAS RAIDED, HE 
WAS THROWN OUT 
OF HIS HOME, AND

NBC NEWS

WE HAVE ABOUT 40 
PEOPLE PER LOAD, 
AND THE FUTURE 
IS REALLY 
UNCERTAIN. 
THE CHINESE 
COMPETITION HAS 
GONE AWAY TO A 
POINT THAT WE 
CAN COMPETE WITH 
THEM. 
THIS USED TO BE 
ALL 
MANUFACTURING. 
THERE IS VERY 
FEW YOU KNOW 
MANUFACTURERS 
LEFT HERE AT 
LEAST IN THIS 
REGION, IN THE 
COMPLEX THAT WE 
ARE IN, THERE IS 
TWO OR THREE, 
THIS COMPLEX 
USED TO EMPLOY 
3000 PEOPLE AND 
IT IS PROBABLY 
SOMEWHERE AROUND 
300 RIGHT NOW.

VERY IMPORTANT,

CAMPAIGNS, IF 
THEY ARE LOOKING

PENNSYLVANIA, WE 
ARE ON THE 
BORDER OF 
COLUMBIA AND 
LUTHERAN

AT THE

YOU JUST BI%E SAW, E

SITTING BEHIND 
ME. 
THE WORKERS 
COMMUTE ABOUT A 
50 USES THEIR 
VERY THIS IS 
WHAT THIS ESREGION 
OF NORTHEASTERN

WHAT THEY ARE 
THINKING ABOUT 
WHEN THEY GO TO 
VOTE IN 
NOVEMBER, WHAT 
IS REALLY 
IMPORTANT ABOUT 
THIS REGION 
SPECIFICALLY, I 
WANT TO SHOW YOU 
SOME DATA OF 
WHAT HAPPENED IN 
2012 VERSUS 
2016, IT IS 
FASCINATING 
BECAUSE 
BASICALLY YOU 
SEE THE NUMBERS 
FLIP-FLOPS AS IN 
2012, THE REGION 
LARGELY WENT FOR 
PRESIDENT OBAMA, 
AND THEN THE 
MARGIN OF ABOUT 
12% THERE THEN 
FLIPPED AND WENT 
FOR PRESIDENT 
TRUMP IN 2015, 
AS HE PROMISED 
FOR THE INCREASE 
IN JOBS IN THE 
FOCUS ON 
MANUFACTURING, 
THIS REGION OF 
PENNSYLVANIA 
LARGELY CARRIED 
THE STATE FOR 
PRESIDENTIAL 
BACK IN 
2016, HE 
WON PENNSYLVANIA 
BY 44,000 VOTES, 
THE VERY SLIM 
MARGIN AND A 
BULK OF THOSE 
VOTES CAME FROM 
THE AREA OF THE 
BATTLEGROUND 
STATE. 
WE ARE GOING TO 
SEE LIKE WE SAW %
THIS WEEK, BIDEN 
WAS IN 
PENNSYLVANIA. 
PRESIDENT WILL 
BE HERE LATER 
THIS WEEK P AND WE 
CAN EXPECT MORE 
ABOUT. 
IF YOU CAN NNFOCUS 
ON PENNSYLVANIA, 
THAT IS 
REPRESENTATIVE 
OF WHAT WE ARE 
GOING TO SEE IN 
TERMS OF WINNING 
THE PRESIDENCY, 
AND WE HAVE 
LEARNED THIS 
WEEK THE TRUMP 
CAMPAIGN 
ACTUALLY ISN'T 
CAENDING ANY 
MONEY ON AIR 
RIGHT NOW, 
ADVERTISING IN 
PENNSYLVANIA, 
AND THEIR 
CAMPAIGN 
ACTUALLY IS 
STAYING 
YESTERDAY THEY 
BELIEVE THEY 
ONLY NEED TO WIN 
ONE OF WITHE THREE 
MAJOR GROUNDS, 
IN ORDER TO HOLD 
STRONG ON THE 
PRESIDENCY BUT 
AS YOU HEARD, 
CLEARLY FROM 
THESE VOTERS 
THAT WE HAVE 
BEEN SPEAKING 
TO, THERE'S A 
LOT OF QUESTIONS 
LEFT UNANSWERED 
FROM BOTH 
PRESIDENT TRUMP 
AND VICE 
PRESIDENT BIDEN, 
AND SO VOTERS 
HERE TELLING ME 
THEY ARE REALLY 
LOOKING FORWARD 
TO HEARING WHAT 
BOTH CANDIDATES

EMPLOYERS IN 
THIS PART OF IT 
IS THE PLANT YOU 
SEE BEHIND ME. ER F 
WHICH PRODUCES 
HUGE NUMBERS OF 
POULTRY PRODUCT 
OUT OF HERE. 
THE SMELL HERE 
IS THAT OF 
BOILED CHICKEN, 
YOU CAN JUST 
SINCE THE 
ENORMITY OF THIS 
EMPLOYERS 
INFLUENCE ACROSS 
THIS TOWN. 
UNFORTUNATELY, 2 
MONTHS AGO, AND 
OUTBREAK WAS 
DECLARED HERE BY 
COUNTY HEALTH 
OFFICIALS. 
THEY HAVE GONE 
ON TO CALL THIS 
OUTBREAK THE 
LARGEST AND MOST 
SEVERE, LONGEST 
LASTING EXCUSE 
ME AND MOST 
SEVERE OUTBREAK 
IN THE COUNTY, 
WITH NEARLY 400 
PEOPLE TESTING 
POSITIVE AND 
EIGHT PEOPLE 
DEAD. 
THIS IS A 
DISASTER. 
YOU SHOULD KEEP 
IN MIND THAT WE 
ARE TALKING ABOUT
AN INDUSTRY IN 
WHICH ONE PERSON 
DIES ON THTHE JOB 
FROM SOMETHING 
LIKE HEAT 
EXHAUSTION OR IS 
KILLED BY THE 
MACHINERY, THE 
FACTORY IN A 
TRADITIONAL TIME 
WOULD'VE SHUT 
DOWN. 
IT HAS TAKEN 
EIGHT RODEATHS 
BEFORE I 
SHUTDOWN ORDER 
HAS GONE INTO 
PLACE. 
TONIGHT THAT 
BEGINS, 
SIX DAYS 
OF SHUTTING DOWN 
AT WHICH POINT 
THE COMPANY SAYS 
THEY WILL HAVE A 
CLEAN SLATE AND 
START OVER WITH 
NEW PROCEDURES, 
AND HOPEFULLY AN 
ENTIRELY CLEAN 
EMPLOYEE BASE. 
>> IS THAT THE 
PLAN TO GET THIS 
UNDER CONTROL IN AR
SIX DAYS? 
IS THAT ENOUGH? 
>> Reporter: 
THAT IS THE 
QUESTION, AS WE 
KNOW THE 
INCUBATION PERIOD
HERE IS 14 DAYS, 
I WANT TO READ 
YOU A LITTLE BIT 
OF A STATEMENT 
THAT THEY SENT 
US ABOUT THEIR 
PLANS FOR GOING 
OUT AND DOING 
THIS, MAKING IT 
BETTER, THE 
COMPANY SAYS 
THE TIME, 
DURING THIS 
TIME, THE 
COMPANY IS GOING 
TO DEEP CLEAN 
THE FACILITY, 
AND IS GOING TO 
DO 2 ROUNDS OF 
COVID-19 
TESTING. 
COVERING ALL 
1400 PLANT D  
EMPLOYEES.  
THEY ARE PAYING 
EMPLOYEES DURING 
THE TIME THAT 
THE PLANT IS 
CLOSED INCLUDING 
THE TWO DAYS OF 
TESTING, THAT IS 
GOOD NEWS. 
THEY SAY IN A 
LONG LIST THEY 
PROVIDED US THAT 
THEY WILL BE 
DOING THINGS LIKE
SUPPLYING 
FACEMASKS TO 
EMPLOYEES, 
EXPANDING 
SANITATION OF 
PERSONAL 
HYGIENE, 
IMPLEMENTINGEFEF 
WELLNESS CHECKS, 
INSTALLING 
DIVIDERS IN THE 
BREAK ROOMS, 
THIS OUTBREAK 
HAS GONE ON FOR 
AT LEAST TWO 
MONTHS, WE SAW 
AN EMAIL WITH 
SOURCES TELLING 
US TELLING THEM 
TO COME BACK TO 
WORK AND TAKE 
PRECAUTIONS 
WHERE 
APPROPRIATE BUT 
SUMMONING THEM 
BACK.AC 
SO THE WHEELS OF 
THIS PLANT HAVE 
CONTINUED TO 
TURN THROUGHOUT 
THIS CRISIS, AND 
IT IS ONLY NOW, 
TWO MONTHS AFTER IN
THE OUTBREAK WAS 
FIRST DECLARED 
THAT THEY WILL 
SHUT DOWN FOR 
SIX DAYS IN THE 
HOPES OF GETTING 
A FRESH START. 
>> YOU HAVE BEEN 
TALKING TO THE 
EXECUTIVE 
DIRECTOR OF A 
NONPROFIT WHO 
HAS BEEN TALKING 
TO . FOSTER FARMS 
EMPLOYEES, HOW 
TO THOSE WORKERS 
FEEL ABOUT THIS? 
WILL THEY FEEL 
TTEL COMING BACK 
TO WORK X ANWEEK? 
DO THEY THINK 
SIX DAYS IS 
ENOUGH TO GET AN 
OUTBREAK UNDER 
CONTROL? 
>> Reporter: WE 
HAVE TRIED TO 
SPEAK DIRECTLY TO
EMPLOYEES AT THE 
PLANT BUT NO ONE 
WILL SPEAK TO 
US. 
THIS IS THE 
LARGEST EMPLOYER 
IN THE COUNTY, 
AND IT IS ALSO 
TREMENDOUSLY 
INFLUENTIAL. 
%
IS. %

MUCH. %
APPRECIATE IT. 
>> ONE 
PARTICULAR 
WORKER THAT I 
HAD A CHANCE TO 
ENGAGE WITH 
REALLY LEFT AN 
IMPRESSION ON 
ME. 
HE SAID 
[SPEAKING 
FOREIGN 
LANGUAGE] 
>> WHICH MEANS 
THAT THEY CALL 
US ESSENTIAL BUT 
THEY TREAT US AS 
MOST EXPENDABLE. 
>> IT IS REALLY 
JUST HEART 
BREAKING TO HEAR 
THIS FROM PEOPLE 
WHO ARE TRYING 
TO KEEP YOU AND 
I FED. 
IT REMINDS TOUS 
THAT ACROSS THE 
NATION, AS STUDY 
AFTER STUDY 
AFTER STUDY HAVE 
FOUND, E THE 
LOWEST PAID 
PEOPLE TAKING AL
THE HEAVIEST 
BURDEN OF THIS. 
YOU COMBINE THAT 
WITH ALL OF OUR 
OUTSTANDING 
QUESTIONS. 
WHY IS THE 
ONLY OWN 
FOR SIX DAYS. 
WHY DID IT TAKE 
TWO MONTHS TO 
DECLARE G THIS 
PLACE UNSAFE TO 
WORK, TO SHUT IT 
DOWN. 
WHY DOES THE 
BURDEN KEEP 
FALLING ON THE 
LOWEST PAID 
AMERICANS TIME 
AND AGAIN, 
SAVANNAH. 
>>> HI, 
EVERYONE. 
YOU'RE WATCHING 
NBC NEWS NOW.

WORLD WAR II 
HERITAGE CITY. 
THIS FOLLOWS A 
CONTROVERSIAL 
VISIT TO 
KENOSHA, 
WISCONSIN TODAY 
WHERE HE TOURED 
DAMAGE DURING 
THE CIVIL 
UNREST. 
HE BLASTED 
DEMOCRATIC RETE
LEADERS FOR WHAT 
HE CALLED 
ANTIPOLICE AND 
ANTIAMERICAN 
RIOTS. 
JUST TWO DAYS 
AFTER PRESIDENT 
TRUMP'S TRIP TO 
KENOSHA, THE 
BIDEN WILL BE 
VISITING THE 
CITY AS WELL. 
THE FORMER VICE 
PRESIDENT JOE  
BIDEN ANNOUNCED

KENOSHA ON 
THURSDAY. 
THEY WILL HOLD A 
COMMUNITY 
MEETING TO, TO
QUOTE, BRING 
TOGETHER

VIOLENCE. 
>>> GERMANY SAYS 
ALEXEY NAVALNY 
WAS POISONED 
WITH A CHEMICAL 
NERVE AGENT AND 
IS BEING 
CURRENTLY 
TREATED AT A 
BERLIN HOSPITAL. 
A SPECIAL 
MILITARY LAB

TOXICOLOGY TEST 
ON HIM AND 
CONFIRMED THE NF
NERVE AGENT THEY 
FOUND WAS THE 
SAME TYPE USED 
IN THE POISONING 
OF A FORMER 
RUSSIAN SPY AND 
HIS DAUGHTER TWO 
YEARS AGO. 
GERMANY HAS 
URGED THE 
RUSSIAN 
GOVERNMENT TO 
PROVIDE AN 
EXPLANATION. 
>>> SCIENTISTS 
CONTINUE TO VET E  
TREATMENTS FOR 
CORONAVIRUS. 
THAT IS LEADING 
TO SHIFTING 
GUIDELINES. 
THE NATIONAL IN
INSTITUTES OF 
HEALTH SAYS IT 
DOES NOT 
RECOMMEND THE TH
USE OF BLOOD 
PLASMA TO TREAT 
COVID-19, THAT 
CAME AFTER FDA 
AUTHORIZED THE 
EMERGENCY USE OF 
CONVALESCENT 
PLASMA. 
IT NOW 
RECOMMENDS 
STEROID 
TREATMENT FOR  
SEVERE CASES OF 
THE VIRUS. 
THIS GUIDANCE 
CHANGES ON THESE 
TREATMENTS, 
THERE IS A 
GLOBAL RACE TO 
FIND A VACCINE. 
TODAY DR. 
ANTHONY FAUCI 
SAID WHEN HE 
THINKS WE WILL 
HAVE A VACCINE. 
>> I BELIEVE BY 
THE TIME WE GET 
TO THE END OF 
THIS CALENDAR 
YEAR, THAT WE 
WILL FEEL 
COMFORTABLE THAT 
WE DO HAVE A 
SAFE AND 
EFFECTIVE 
VACCINE.

>>> FINALLY 
ANOTHER 
IMPORTANT PIECE 
OF NEWS. 
MY REPORT AN
YESTERDAY WAS 
RATED BY ROOM 
RAIDER. 
THIS IS THE 
TWITTER PROFILE 
THAT DURING THE 
PANDEMIC HAS

LAST NIGHT 
CELEBRATING THE 
9 OUT OF 10. 
I KNOW YOU'RE 
NOT BIG ON

WE JUST USED THE 
END OF HEADLINES

LATEST 
ACCOMPLISHMENT 
AND I'M SURE ISSTON 
OF YOUR BIGGEST 
TO DATE. 
I AM BISO BAD AT

I HAVEN'T BEEN

THIS IS MY

STILL IN THE A 
CATEGORY. >>
ALL RIGHT. 
THANKS, JOE. 
CONGRATULATIONS, 
JOE. 
AND WE WILL SEE GH%A
YOU IN ABOUT AN 
HOUR. 
,
>>> DEMOCRATIC 
PRESIDENTIAL 
NOMINEE JOE 
BIDEN WILL 
TRAVEL TO 
KENOSHA, 
WISCONSIN 
TOMORROW TO MEET 
WITH LOCAL 
LEADERS 
FOLLOWING THE 
POLICE SHOOTING 
OF JACOB BLAKE. 
MIKE JOINS ME 
NOW FROM 
WILMINGTON, 
DELAWARE WHERE 
BIDEN ACTUALLY 
SPOKE EARLIER. 
FIRST LET'S TALK 
KENOSHA BY GOING 
JUST TWO DAYS 
AFTER PRESIDENT 
TRUMP. 
WHAT DO WE KNOW 
ABOUT HIS VISIT? 
>> FIRST OF ALL 
SINCE WE'RE 
TALKING ABOUT 
ROOM RATINGS, I 
DON'T WANT TO 
BRAG BUT MY 
LIVING ROOM GOT 
A 10 OUT OF 10. 
I STARTED OUT 
THIS CERTAINLY 
AS A 7. JUST 
WANTED TO 
MENTION THAT. 
CONGRATS, JOE. 
YOU HAVE ROOM 
FOR IMPROVEMENT. 
>> MIKE, NICE. 
>> THE ONE THAT 
WAS MADE JUST 
BEFORE THE 
FORMER VICE 
PRESIDENT 
ARRIVED HERE FOR 
HIS REMARKS ON 
THE CORONAVIRUS, 
THE BIDEN 
CAMPAIGN 
ANNOUNCED THAT 
JOE BIDEN WILL 
TRAVEL TO 
KENOSHA 
TOMORROW, ALONG 
WITH DR. JILL 
BIDEN. 
THEY'RE BILLING 
IT AS A 
COMMUNITY 
CONVERSATION. 
IT IS AN 
INTERESTING 
DEVELOPMENT IN 
PART BECAUSE WE 
HAVE SEEN LOCAL 
OFFICIALS THIS 
WEEK, INCLUDING 
THE GOVERNOR 
SAYING THAT THEY 
DID NOT WANT 
PRESIDENT TRUMP 
TO COME. 
THEY WERE HOPING 
ONE OF THE -- 
THE PRESIDENT OF 
THE LOCAL NAACP 
SAID HE DIDN'T 
WANT EITHER ONE 
OF CANDIDATES TO 
COME BECAUSE IT 
IS SUCH A 
SENSITIVE 
MOMENT. 
I HAD A CHANCE 
WHEN JOE BIDEN 
TOOK QUESTIONS 
HERE EARLIER TO 
ASK HIM ABOUT 
WHY NOW IS THE 
RIGHT TIME FOR 
HIM TO GO. 
LET'S TAKE A 
LISTEN. 
>> LOCAL 
DEMOCRATIC 
OFFICIALS 
INCLUDING THE 
GOVERNOR HAD 
PREVIOUSLY 
DISCOURAGED 
PRESIDENT TRUMP 
FROM VISITING. 
JUST YESTERDAY 
THE PRESIDENT OF 
THE LOCAL NAACP 
SAID HE DIDN'T 
WANT TO SEE 
EITHER OF THE 
CANDIDATES VISIT 
INCLUDING 
YOURSELF BECAUSE 
THIS IS A 
SENSITIVE 
SITUATION IN THE 
CITY. 
WHAT DO YOU HOPE 
TO ACCOMPLISH BY 
GOING TO 
KENOSHA. 
>> WE HAVE 
SPOKEN TO ALL OF 
THE LEADERS UP 
THERE. 
EVEN THOUGH I 
HAVE AN 
OUTSTANDING CALL 
WITH THE 
GOVERNOR. 
I HAVE DEALT 
WITH HIS STAFF. 
BECAUSE -- AND 
THERE'S BEEN 
OVERWHELMING 
REQUESTS THAT I 
DO COME. 
BECAUSE -- WHAT 
I WANT TO DO IS 
WE HAVE TO HEAL. 
WE HAVE TO PUT 
THINGS TOGETHER, 
BRING PEOPLE 
TOGETHER. 
AND SO MY 
PURPOSE IN GOING 
WILL BE TO DO 
JUST THAT. 
>> A NUMBER OF 
REASONS WHY THIS 
VISIT IS GOING 
TO BE 
SIGNIFICANT. 
ONE, THE BIDEN 
CAMPAIGN REALLY 
LIKES TO 
HIGHLIGHT THE 
CONTRAST BETWEEN 
WHAT THE 
PRESIDENT DOES, 
OBVIOUSLY HIS 
TRIP YESTERDAY 
THEY CONSIDERED 
MORE OF A PHOTO 
OP SAYING IT WAS 
MORE DIVISIVE TO 
WHAT THE FORMER 
VICE PRESIDENT 
PLANS TO DO, A 
HEALING KIND OF 
VISIT. 
THE OTHER PART 
OF THIS, IT IS 
RARE FOR JOE 
BIDEN TO TRAVEL 
ANYWHERE. 
WE HAVEN'T SEEN 
HIM LEAF THE 
STATE OF 
PENNSYLVANIA OR 
THE STATE OF 
DELAWARE. 
OTHER THAN A 
TRIP TO 
WASHINGTON THAT 
HE MADE IN EARLY 
AUGUST. 
HIM GETTING ON 
THE PLANE IS 
ONLY THE THIRD 
TIME THAT HE HAS 
DONE IT SINCE 
THE PANDEMIC 
BEGAN. 
I ASKED HIM 
DURING THE PRESS 
CONFERENCE IF HE 
IS WILLING TO 
PUSH THE 
ENVELOPE AND GET 
OUT MORE. 
HE MADE IT 
CLEAR, NO HE 
WILL CONTINUE TO 
FOLLOW THE BEST 
ADVICE FROM HIS 
MEDICAL EXPERTS 
AND ALSO HE 
WANTS TO SET A 
GOOD EXAMPLE NOT 
TO ENCOURAGE THE 
KIND OF 
GATHERINGS THAT 
WOULD FOLLOW FOR 
HIM TO DO ANY 
BIG RALLIES. 
>> YOU'RE 
TALKING ABOUT 
HOW HE LIKES TO 
SORT OF CONTRACT 
WITH WHAT 
PRESIDENT TRUMP 
DOES.. 
DOES BIDEN PLAN 
TO MEET WITH 
JACOB BLAKE'S 
FAMILY. 
>> YEAH. 
THAT'S ANOTHER 
BIG QUESTION. 
THE CAMPAIGN NOT 
ADDRESSING THAT 
JUST YET. 
BUT IT IS WORTH 
NOTING THAT 
BIDEN VERY 
QUICKLY AFTER 
THE SHOOTING 
INVOLVING JACOB 
BLAKE HAD 
REVEALED THAT HE 
HAD SPOKEN AS 
WELL AS KAMALA 
HARRIS HIS 
RUNNING MATE TO 
THE FAMILY. 
YOU WILL 
REMEMBER WHEN HE 
DELIVERED HIS 
ACCEPTANCE 
SPEECH FOR THE 
DEMOCRATIC 
NOMINATION, JUST 
A FEW WEEKS AGO 
HERE IN 
WILMINGTON, HE 
CLOSED HIS 
REMARKS BY 
TALKING ABOUT 
HIS OTHER -- 
ANOTHER 
CONVERSATION 
THAT HE HAD WITH 
THE FAMILY OF 
GEORGE FLOYD. 
SPECIFICALLY ONE 
OF HIS 
GRANDDAUGHTERS I 
BELIEVE IT WAS. 
TALKING ABOUT 
THE EXAMPLE THAT 
THEY HAVE SHOWN 
IN TERMS OF THE 
GRACE THAT THEY 
HAVE SHOWN AT 
THIS TIME, EVEN 
WHEN THEIR 
FAMILY MEMBERS 
HAVE BEEN SUCH A 
FLASH POINT IN 
THIS NATIONAL 
DEBATE OVER 
SAFETY, OVER LAW 
AND ORDER. 
SO IT WOULD BE I 
THINK A SURPRISE 
TO ME FRANKLY, 
SAVANNAH, IF HE 
DIDN'T MEET WITH 
MEMBERS OF HIS 
FAMILY. 
JACOB BLAKE'S 
FAMILY HAS NOT 
REVEALED WHAT IS 
ON HIS EYE IT. 
>> Reporter: 
NERARY. 
>> THIS IS 
TRUMP'S AMERICA. 
HE WON'T BRING 
US TOGETHER. 
HE DOESN'T WANT 
TO. 
HE NEVER WILL. 
HE ONLY DIVIDES. 
INFLAMES. 
INFURIATES. 
TEARS PEOPLE 
APART. 
ALWAYS MAKING 
THINGS WORSE. 
IT IS TRUMP'S 
AMERICA. 
>> OBVIOUSLY 
SOME DISTURBING 
IMAGES THERE AND 
PUSHING BACK 
AGAINST TRUMP'S 
MESSAGE THAT 
BIDEN'S AMERICA 
WOULD NOT BE 
SAFE. 
WHAT ARE YOU 
LEARNING ABOUT 
THIS NEW 
MESSAGING AND 
APPROACH FROM 
THE BIDEN 
CAMPAIGN? 
>> YEAH. 
IT CERTAINLY IS 
INTERESTING. 
YOU CAN LOOK AT 
IT ONE OR TWO 
WAYS, RIGHT. 
THERE IS THE 
ARGUMENT THAT A 
LOT OF TRUMP 
ALLIES HAVE BEEN 
MAKING AND THEY 
BELIEVE THE 
BIDEN CAMPAIGN 
IS ON THIS 
DEFENSIVE NOW, 
GIVEN THE TRUMP 
CAMPAIGN'S FOCUS 
ON LAW AND 
ORDER. 
THE PRESIDENT'S 
ATS TO LINK JOE 
BIDEN SAYING THE 
IMAGES UNDER A 
JOE BIDEN 
PRESIDENCY WOULD 
BE SIMILAR AND 
MORE EXPANDED. 
THE BIDEN 
CAMPAIGN SAYING 
WE WANT TO FLIP 
THIS ISSUE ON 
THE HEAD AND 
POINT OUT THIS 
IS HAPPENING ON 
PRESIDENT 
TRUMP'S WATCH 
AND HE ONLY HAS 
MADE THINGS BY 
HIGHLIGHTING 
DIVISION RATHER 
THAN UNITE THE 
COUNTRY. 
THAT CLIP IS 
FROM THE DNC. 
IT IS 
INTERESTING HOW 
THE BIDEN 
CAMPAIGN AND THE 
DNC PLAYOFF OF 
EACH OTHER. 
ONE THEY'RE 
PUTTING $45 
MILLION BEHIND 
THAT. 
IS A SIGNIFICANT 
RAMPING UP OF 
THE SPENDING 
THEY'RE DOING ON 
THE TV AIR 
WAVES. 
THAT MESSAGE 
FROM THE BIDEN 
CAMPAIGN USES 
BIDEN'S OWN 
WORDS WHEN WE 
SPOKE ON MONDAY 
WE HAD DELIVERED 
THOSE REMARKS IN 
PITTSBURGH, 
DENOUNCING 
VIOLENCE IN THE 
STREET. 
CLEARLY THE 
BIDEN CAMPAIGN 
HAS TRIED TO 
KEEP THE FOCUS 
ON THE 
CORONAVIRUS. 
THAT'S THE 
MESSAGE THAT 
THEY CONTINUE TO 
PRESS. 
YOU WANT TO 
FOLLOW THE MONEY 
IN THE CAMPAIGN. 
THAT'S THE 
MESSAGE THAT 
THEY'RE PUTTING 
ON TO THE AIR 
WAVES. 
CLEARLY THEY 
FEEL A NEED TO 
ADDRESS THE 
SENTIMENT AS THE 
PRESIDENT 
CONTINUES TO 
FOCUS ON IT AS 
WELL, SAVANNAH. 
>> LET'S TALK 
ABOUT WHAT HE IS 
UP TO TODAY. 
HE WAS TALKING 
ABOUT SCHOOL 
REOPENINGS. 
TALK ABOUT THAT. 
>> YEAH. 
THE BIDEN 
CAMPAIGNS SEEM 
TO LOOK MORE 
LIKE GOVERNING 
THAN 
CAMPAIGNING. 
FIRST WE SAW 
BIDEN AND HIS 
WIFE, DR. JILL 
BIDEN, A LIFE-
LONG EDUCATOR. 
THE FOCUS HAS 
BEEN TO GETTING 
BACK TO SCHOOL 
DURING THIS TIME 
OF THE PANDEMIC. 
WHAT THAT MEANS 
FOR A LOT OF 
FAMILIES. 
THAT IS THE 
BRIEFING THAT 
THE BIDENS SAT 
DOWN FOR 
TOGETHER THAT 
INCLUDED LEADERS 
IN THE FIELD OF 
MEDICINE AND 
LEADERS IN THE 
FIELD OF 
EDUCATION, 
INCLUDING THE 
PRESIDENT OF 
AMERICAN 
UNIVERSITY. 
AND PART OF THE 
FOCUS AND WHAT 
THE FORMER VICE 
PRESIDENT TALKED 
ABOUT IN HIS 
REMARKS 
AFTERWARDS WAS 
CALLING -- THAT 
IS IS AN 
EMERGENCY 
SITUATION, THAT 
THE PRESIDENT 
AND MEMBERS OF 
CONGRESS SHOULD 
THEIR AN 
EMERGENCY 
DECLARATION AND 
RELEASE FEDERAL 
FUNDING TO HELP. 
LET'S LISTEN TO 
WHAT THE FORMER 
VICE PRESIDENT 
HAD TO SAY ABOUT 
THIS TODAY. 
>> THIS YEAR 
WE'RE FACING THE 
MOST DIFFICULT 
CIRCUMSTANCES 
AND WE'RE SEEING 
AN AWFUL LOT OF 
HEART AND GRIT 
FROM OUR 
EDUCATORS, OUR 
STUDENTS TO TRY 
TO RISE TO THE 
OCCASION HERE. 
BUT OUR 
GOVERNMENT 
HASN'T COME UP 
TO THAT BAR. 
HASN'T SHOWN 
GRIT OR 
DETERMINATION. 
LET ME BE CLEAR. 
IF PRESIDENT 
TRUMP AND HIS 
ADMINISTRATION 
HAD DONE THEIR 
JOBS EARLY ON 
WITH THIS 
CRISIS, AMERICAN 
SCHOOLS WOULD BE 
OPEN AND THEY 
WOULD BE OPEN 
SAFELY. 
>> VERY 
POINTEDLY BIDEN 
SAYING THAT 
PRESIDENT TRUMP 
IS TRYING TO 
DISTRACT THE 
COUNTRY BY 
TALKING ABOUT 
THIS LAW AND 
ORDER MESSAGE 
FROM OF THE 
ISSUE THAT MOST 
AMERICANS ARE 
FOCUSED ON. 
GET OFF TWITTER 
AND IF YOU'RE 
SUCH A GREAT 
DEAL MAKER, 
BRING CONGRESS 
TOGETHER AND GET 
THE RELIEF TO 
OPEN SCHOOLS AND 
GIVE THEM THE 
RESOURCES THEY 
NEED TO HAVE THE 
REMOTE LEARNING 
AND THE SAFETY 
PROTOCOLS TO 
ABIDE BY. 
AT THIS POINT 
NOT DONE BY THE 
PRESIDENT OR 
CONGRESS, 
SAVANNAH. 
>> SO MUCH BACK 
AND FORTH ON 
THAT REOPENING 
SCHOOLS. 
ALL RIGHT, MIKE. 
THANK YOU. 
AND BEFORE YOU 
GO, I DO HAVE TO 
CONGRATULATE YOU 
ONCE AGAIN. 
MIKE, ROOM RATER 
GOING FROM C 
MINUS TO A PLUS. 
THAT'S A FEAT 
RIGHT THERE IF 
I'VE EVER HEARD 
OF ONE. 
THANK YOU AS 
ALWAYS. 
>> APPARENTLY IT 
IS ALL ABOUT THE 
LAMP AND THE 
ART. 
SO JUST IF JOE 
WANTS SOME 
ADVICE THERE. 
[LAUGHTER] 
>> I'LL LET HIM 
KNOW. 
>>> JOE BIDEN 
WILL BE IN 
KENOSHA JUST TWO 
DAYS AFTER 
PRESIDENT TRUMP 
WAS THERE. 
AND THE 
PRESIDENT'S 
VISIT WAS MET 
WITH MIXED 
REACTION. 
SUPPORTERS 
PRAISED HIM FOR 
HIGHLIGHTING THE 
PROTESTS AND 
OTHERS ACCUSED 
HIM OF 
POLITICIZING THE 
SHOOTING OF 
JACOB BLAKE. 
>> HE IS TRYING 
TO COME HERE TO 
LIFT PEOPLE UP 
AND SAY WE'RE 
HERE TO HELP. 
>> WHAT WOULD 
YOU WANT TO TELL 
THE PRESIDENT 
TODAY? 
>> WE DON'T HAVE 
ANY WORDS FOR 
HIM. 
HE NEEDS TO KEEP 
HIS DISRESPECT 
FAR AWAY FROM 
OUR FAMILY. 
>> SHAQUILLE 
BREWSTER JOINS 
ME NOW FROM 
KENOSHA, 
WISCONSIN. 
SHAQ, WHAT IS 
THE LATEST FROM 
THERE TODAY. 
>> AHEAD OF THE 
PRESIDENT'S TRIP 
A LOT OF CONCERN 
WAS THAT HIS 
VISIT AND 
EVERYTHING THAT 
COMES WITH THE 
PRESIDENTIAL 
TRIP WOULD LEAD 
TO MORE OF A 
BREAK OF THE 
PEACE THAT YOU 
HAVE SEEN OVER 
THE PAST COUPLE 
OF THE DAYS THAT 
LED TO THE 
VIOLENCE OVER 
THE FIRST FEW 
DAYS OF THE 
PROTEST. 
WE DID NOT SEE 
THAT LAST NIGHT. 
WHILE THERE WERE 
MINOR CLASHES, 
EVERYTHING 
REMAINED 
RELATIVELY 
PEACEFUL. 
SO MUCH SO THAT 
THE MAYOR OF 
KENOSHA IS NOW 
LIFTING THE 
CURFEW. 
JUST A COUPLE OF 
MINUTES AGO 
PUTTING OUT A 
STATEMENT THAT 
SAID THE LAST 
SEVERAL NIGHTS 
HAVE BEEN 
RELATIVELY 
PEACEFUL IN THE 
COMMUNITY. 
AND BY THE 
JUDGMENT OF LAW 
ENFORCEMENT, IT 
IS APPROPRIATE 
TO REMOVE THE 
CURFEW. 
WE KNOW THAT 
CURFEW WAS 
ORIGINALLY 
PLANNED TO 
EXTEND ALL THE 
WAY THROUGH THE 
HOLIDAY WEEKEND. 
SO POSITIVE NEWS 
ON THAT FRONT. 
TALKING TO 
PEOPLE AROUND 
THE AREA AND IN 
THE COMMUNITY, 
THEY FEEL LIKE 
THERE IS 
STARTING TO BE A 
CHANGE. 
THINGS ARE 
STARTING TO 
CHANGE THE 
CORNER IN 
KENOSHA AFTER 
THE VIOLENT 
NIGHTS. 
SAVANNAH. 
>> JOE AND JILL 
BIDEN ANNOUNCED 
THEY WILL VISIT 
KENOSHA 
TOMORROW. 
HOW ARE PEOPLE 
REACTING TO THAT 
VISIT? 
>> LET'S GO 
STRAIGHT TO THE 
SOUND. 
I WENT AROUND 
AND TALKED TO 
PEOPLE ABOUT 
THEIR REACTION 
TO VICE 
PRESIDENT BIDEN 
COMING. 
LISTEN TO WHAT 
THEY TOLD ME. 
>> IT IS GOOD. 
I HOPE THERE'S 
NO TROUBLE. 
I DIDN'T WANT 
TROUBLE. 
HE WAS INSIDE SO 
THAT WAS GOOD. 
AND HE GOT IN 
AND OUT QUICK. 
AND BIDEN WILL 
PROBABLY DO THE 
SAME HOPEFULLY. 
>> I'M GLAD THAT 
HE HAS DECIDED 
TO COME. 
IT SHOWS KENOSHA 
SUPPORT. 
>> AS WITH 
ANYTHING, SO 
MUCH OF THIS 
DEPENDS ON WHERE 
YOU STAND ON THE 
POLITICAL 
SPECTRUM. 
IF YOU SUPPORT 
THE PRESIDENT, 
YOU WERE HAPPY 
TO SEE HIM 
YESTERDAY AND 
YOU WERE NOT 
EXCITED ABOUT 
THE VICE 
PRESIDENT 
COMING. 
IF YOU SUPPORT 
THE VICE 
PRESIDENT, YOU 
DIDN'T WANT TO 
HEAR ABOUT WHAT 
HAPPENED 
YESTERDAY AND 
YOU'RE HAPPY TO 
SEE THE VICE 
PRESIDENT COMING 
INTO TOWN 
TOMORROW. 
ONE THING TO 
KNOW VICE 
PRESIDENT COMING 
TOMORROW IT WILL 
BE THE FIRST 
TIME THAT 
WISCONSIN HAS 
SEEN A 
DEMOCRATIC 
NOMINEE IN THIS 
STATE SINCE 
2012. 
HILLARY CLINTON 
GOT A LOT OF 
FLACK FOR NOT 
COMING OUT 
DURING THE 
GENERAL 
ELECTION. 
VICE PRESIDENT 
BIDEN WILL BE 
THE FIRST 
DEMOCRATIC 
NOMINEE HERE IN 
WISCONSIN SINCE 
BARACK OBAMA. 
SAVANNAH. 
>> LASTLY, SHAQ, 
THE PRESIDENT 
CLAIMS THAT HE 
SENT IN THE 
NATIONAL GUARD 
TO KENOSHA. 
BUT THERE SEEMS 
TO BE 
DISCREPANCIES 
AROUND THAT. 
I LIKE HOW HOW 
YOU SAID LET ME 
TAKE YOU RIGHT 
TO THE SOUND. 
TELL ME WHAT 
YOU'RE SEEING. 
>> LET'S WALK 
THROUGH THIS. 
WE KNOW ON 
SUNDAY EVENING, 
JACOB BLAKE WAS 
SHOT IN THE BACK 
BY A KENOSHA 
POLICE OFFICER 
SEVEN TIMES ON 
VIDEO. 
AND THAT VIDEO 
INSTANTLY WENT 
VIRAL. 
THE OUTRAGE WAS 
IMMEDIATE. 
BY SUNDAY 
EVENING AND 
SUNDAY NIGHT, 
YOU HAD NOT ONLY 
PROTESTS BUT THE 
PROTESTS TURNED 
VIOLENT THERE. 
WAS LOOTING AND 
BURGLARIES. 
ON MONDAY 
MORNING, ONCE WE 
WOKE UP TO THOSE 
SCENES OF 
DESTRUCTION, 
THERE WAS -- I 
WAS AT A PARKING 
LOT THAT WAS 
COMPLETELY -- IT 
WAS FULL OF 
COMPLETELY 
DESTROYED CARS. 
ONCE WE GOT TO 
MONDAY MORNING, 
THE GOVERNOR 
ANNOUNCED THAT 
HE WAS SENDING 
IN THE NATIONAL 
GUARD. 
THE NATIONAL 
GUARD IS UNDER A 
GOVERNOR'S 
AUTHORITY. 
SO HE SENT IN 
125 NATIONAL 
GUARD MEN AND 
WOMEN TO COME 
HERE TO KENOSHA. 
THEY WERE IN 
PLACE BY MONDAY 
NIGHT. 
WELL, THE 
OUTRAGED 
CONTINUED ON 
MONDAY NIGHT. 
THAT'S WHEN WE 
SAW ANOTHER 
ROUND OF 
DESTRUCTION IN 
DIFFERENT AREAS 
OF THE CITY. 
WE WERE IN THE 
UPTOWN AREA OF 
CITY AND SAW 
ENTIRE BLOCKS OF 
THE CITY 
COMPLETELY 
DESTROYED. 
THAT'S WHERE THE 
PRESIDENT WENT 
AND TOURED 
YESTERDAY. 
SO TUESDAY 
MORNING, THAT'S 
WHEN WE SAW THAT 
DESTRUCTION FROM 
THE PAST TWO 
NIGHTS. 
THE GOVERNOR 
ANNOUNCED THAT 
MORNING THAT HE 
WAS DOUBLING THE 
NATIONAL GUARD 
COMMITMENT FROM 
125 TO 250 GUARD 
MEMBER. 
WELL IT WAS THAT 
NIGHT THAT WE 
GOT A TWEET FROM 
THE PRESIDENT. 
IT WAS THE FIRST 
TIME THAT HE 
ACKNOWLEDGED THE 
VIOLENCE HERE IN 
KENOSHA. 
AND HE SAID IN 
THAT TWEET THE 
GOVERNOR SHOULD 
CALL IN THE 
NATIONAL GUARD 
IN WISCONSIN. 
IT IS READY, 
WILLING AND MORE 
THAN ABLE. 
END THE PROBLEM 
FAST, 
EXCLAMATION 
POINT THERE FAST 
IN ALL CAPS. 
THE POINT IS 
THAT THE 
NATIONAL GUARD 
HAD ALREADY BEEN 
THERE. 
THERE WERE MORE 
THAN 250 
NATIONAL GUARD 
MEMBERS IN 
KENOSHA AT THE 
TIME. 
WE GET TO 
TUESDAY NIGHT. 
IT WAS A LITTLE 
CALMER. 
THEN WE SAW AS 
PROTESTS ENDED 
THAT'S WHEN KYLE 
RITTENHOUSE SHOT 
AND KILLED TWO 
PROTESTERS AND 
INJURED ANOTHER. 
THAT'S WHEN THE 
GOVERNOR 
ANNOUNCED THE 
NEXT MORNING 
THAT 500 MEMBERS 
OF THE NATIONAL 
GUARD WAS COMING 
IN. 
THAT'S WHEN THE 
PRESENCE WAS A 
LOT MORE 
VISIBLE. 
YOU SAY A LOT 
MORE ON THE 
GROUND. 
THE PRESIDENT 
TWEETED THAT 
MORNING. 
HE SAID TODAY I 
WILL BE SENDING 
FEDERAL LAW 
ENFORCEMENT AND 
THE NATIONAL 
GUARD TO 
KENOSHA, 
WISCONSIN TO 
RESTORE LAW AND 
ORDER. 
AGAIN, WE KNOW 
THE NATIONAL 
GUARD WAS 
ALREADY THERE 
FOR SOME TIME. 
ONE THING TO 
NOTE THOUGH WHEN 
HE SAYS -- WHEN 
THE PRESIDENT 
SAID HE WAS 
SENDING IN 
FEDERAL LAW 
ENFORCEMENT, WE 
DO KNOW THAT 
THERE WERE FBI 
AGENTS ON THE 
GROUND. 
THERE WERE 
AGENTS ON THE 
DEPARTMENT OF 
ATF. 
THEY WERE HERE 
HELPING AND 
ASSISTING THE 
INVESTIGATION OF 
BOTH THE JACOB 
BLAKE SHOOTING 
THAT HAPPENED ON 
SUNDAY NIGHT AND 
THE KYLE 
RITTENHOUSE 
SHOOTING OF THE 
THREE PROTESTERS 
THAT HAPPENED ON 
TUESDAY 
AFTERNOON. 
SO THERE WAS 
SOME TRUTH TO 
THE FACT THAT 
THERE WERE 
FEDERAL AGENTS 
INVOLVED HERE IN 
WISCONSIN. 
BUT I THINK THE 
BOTTOM LINE HERE 
IS WHEN YOU TALK 
ABOUT THE 
NATIONAL GUARD 
AND THE NATIONAL 
GUARD PRESENCE 
HERE IN 
WISCONSIN, HERE 
IN KENOSHA, THAT 
IS CREDITED FOR 
HELPING BRING AN 
END TO THE 
VIOLENCE, THAT 
CAME FROM THE 
GOVERNOR, NOT 
THE PRESIDENT OF 
THE UNITED 
STATES. 
SAVANNAH. 
>> SHAQ, THANK 
YOU FOR WALKING 
US THROUGH THAT. 
AS ALWAYS, THANK 
YOU FOR YOUR 
REPORTING. 
WE WILL SEE YOU 
SOON. 
>> ALL RIGHT. 
>>> PRESIDENT 
TRUMP IS 
VISITING ANOTHER 
BATTLEGROUND 
STATE TODAY. 
THIS TIME NORTH 
CAROLINA. 
NBC NEWS 
CORRESPONDENT 
CAROL LEE JOINS 
ME FROM 
WILMINGTON, 
NORTH CAROLINA. 
CAROL. 
WE KNOW THE 
PRESIDENT IS 
THERE TO DECLARE 
WILMINGTON A 
WORLD WAR II 
HERITAGE. 
TELL ME MORE 
ABOUT THAT. 
>> Reporter: 
YEAH. 
THAT'S RIGHT, 
SAVANNAH. 
NORTH CAROLINA 
IS REALLY KEY TO 
PRESIDENT 
TRUMP'S 
CAMPAIGN. 
HE WON THE STATE 
IN 2016. 
HIS CAMPAIGN 
REALLY WANTS TO 
MAKE SURE THAT 
HE HOLDS ON TO 
IT IN 2020. 
THIS IS THE 
SECOND TIME THAT 
PRESIDENT TRUMP 
HAS VISITED 
NORTH CAROLINA 
IN THE LAST TEN 
DAYS. 
THAT REALLY 
GIVES YOU A 
SENSE OF HOW 
IMPORTANT HE 
THINKS THIS IS. 
NOW, HE DID 
SPEAK HERE A 
LITTLE BIT AGO 
AND DESIGNATED 
WILMINGTON A 
HERITAGE -- A 
WORLD WAR II 
HERITAGE CITY. 
THE FIRST IN THE 
COUNTRY TO 
COMMEMORATE THE 
75th ANNIVERSARY 
OF THE END OF 
WORLD WAR II. 
BEFORE HE GOT 
HERE HE MADE 
CLEAR WHAT THE 
VISIT WAS ABOUT. 
THAT WAS HIS 
CAMPAIGN. 
HE SPOKE TO 
SUPPORTERS AT 
THE AIRPORT AND 
HE CRITICIZED 
HIS OPPONENT JOE 
BIDEN AND ALSO 
LAID OUT THE 
STAKES AS HE 
SEES THEM IN 
THIS ELECTION 
AND REALLY STARK 
TERMS. 
LET'S LISTEN TO 
WHAT HE HAD TO 
SAY. 
>> SO WE WON A 
BIG PLACE 2016. 
THIS IS THE MOST 
IMPORTANT 
ELECTION IN THE 
HISTORY OF OUR 
COUNTRY. 
I REALLY BELIEVE 
THAT. 
BECAUSE WE'RE 
RUNNING AGAINST 
PEOPLE THAT HAVE 
GOT SOME BIG 
ISSUES. 
THEY HAVE GOT 
SOME BIG, BIG 
PROBLEMS. 
THEY'RE STONE 
COLD CRAZY AND 
WE HAVE TO KEEP 
OUR COUNTRY. 
AS YOU KNOW, JOE 
BIDEN, HE 
DOESN'T HAVE A 
CLUE. 
THE COUNTRY IS 
COMING BACK 
REALLY STRONGLY. 
>> NOW, THERE 
YOU HEARD SOME 
FAMILIAR LINES 
FROM PRESIDENT 
TRUMP, 
PARTICULARLY HIS 
ASTACKS ON JOE 
BIDEN SAYING HE 
DOESN'T HAVE A 
CLUE. 
NOTABLY ONE 
THING THAT YOU 
DIDN'T HEAR FROM 
PRESIDENT TRUMP 
DURING HIS VISIT 
IS THE STATES 
SUFFERING FROM 
CORONAVIRUS. 
THIS IS A STATE 
THAT HAS HAD 
ALMOST 2800 
DEATHS FROM 
CORONAVIRUS. 
CASES HAVE 
ACTUALLY BEEN ON 
THE RISE HERE IN 
RECENT WEEKS. 
JUST IN THE LAST 
WEEK ALONE, THEY 
HAD 12,000 NEW 
CASES. 
SO PRESIDENT 
TRUMP, THAT IS 
NOT NECESSARILY 
A STORY THAT HE 
WANTS TO FOCUS 
ON. 
HE WOULD RATHER 
FOCUS ON WHAT HE 
SEES AS LAW AND 
ORDER, HIS 
ATTACKS ON HIS 
OPPONENT. 
AS YOU HEARD 
FROM HIM EARLIER 
TODAY, HE 
FOCUSED ON 
VETERANS, GROUPS 
THAT HE BELIEVES 
PLAYS WELL FOR 
HIM IN TERMS OF 
HIS BASE. 
>> LET'S TALK 
ABOUT A RYE SENT 
POLL FROM EAST 
ACAROLINA 
UNIVERSITY 
SHOWING THAT 
PRESIDENT TRUMP 
AND JOE BIDEN 
ARE IN A TIGHT 
RACE THERE IN 
NORTH CAROLINA. 
THE PRESIDENT IS 
LEADING BIDEN BY 
TWO POINTS. 
HOW CRUCIAL IS 
THIS STATE FOR 
THE PRESIDENT 
COME NOVEMBER? 
YOU JUST 
MENTIONED HOW 
FREQUENTLY HE 
HAS BEEN 
VISITING THERE. 
LET'S TALK 
THROUGH WHAT 
THIS MEANS IN 
TERMS OF OTHER 
BATTLEGROUND 
STATES. 
WHERE DOES NORTH 
CAROLINA FIT IN 
THAT LANDSCAPE? 
WHAT DOES HE 
HAVE TO DO? 
>> NORTH 
CAROLINA IS 
REALLY ONE OF 
THOSE STATES 
THAT IF IT IS 
NOT GOING 
PRESIDENT 
TRUMP'S WAY, 
THERE'S A NUMBER 
OF OTHER THINGS 
THAT PROBABLY 
AREN'T GOING 
PRESIDENT 
TRUMP'S WAY IN 
THIS ELECTION. 
IN TERMS OF 
OTHER 
BATTLEGROUND 
STATES. 
YOU KNOW, WE 
HAVE SEEN HIM. 
HE HAS AN EDGE 
HERE ACCORDING 
DO THAT POLL IN 
NORTH CAROLINA. 
HE HAS INVESTED 
A LOT OF TIME 
AND ENERGY INTO 
THIS STATE. 
THIS IS WHERE HE 
WAS GOING TO 
HAVE THE 
REPUBLICAN 
NATIONAL 
CONVENTION. 
THERE WAS A BIG 
CONTROVERSY. 
HE HAD TO 
WITHDRAW THAT. 
THEY DID DO SOME 
OF THE 
CONVENTION HERE 
LAST WEEK. 
BUT HE IS 
INVESTING A LOT 
OF TIME HERE 
BECAUSE HE NEEDS 
THIS STATE TO 
TURN OUT FOR 
HIM. 
IT IS UNLIKE A 
STATE LIKE 
PENNSYLVANIA 
THAT IS LEADING 
TOWARDS, 
ACCORDING TO A 
RECENT POLL, 
TOWARDS JOE 
BIDEN. 
THAT IS 
SOMETHING THAT 
THE CAMPAIGN 
EXPECTS MORE. 
NORTH CAROLINA 
IS KIND OF A 
BELL WEATHER IN 
THE SENSE THAT 
IF IT IS NOT 
TRENDING TOWARDS 
PRESIDENT TRUMP, 
HIS CAMPAIGN 
WOULD VIEW THAT 
AS HIM HAVING 
TROUBLE 
ELSEWHERE IN 
OTHER 
BATTLEGROUND 
STATES, NOT JUST 
HERE. 
>> AND CAROL, 
JOE BIDEN WILL 
VISIT KENOSHA, 
WISCONSIN 
TOMORROW AS WE 
HAVE BEEN 
DISCUSSING 
TODAY, WHICH IS 
TWO DAYS AFTER 
THE PRESIDENT 
WAS JUST THERE. 
ANY REACTION 
FROM PRESIDENT 
TRUMP OR HIS 
CAMPAIGN ON 
BIDEN KIND OF 
GOING THERE 
AFTER HIM? 
>> YEAH. 
WE HAVE HEARD 
FROM PRESIDENT 
TRUMP'S 
CAMPAIGN. 
THEY'RE KIND OF 
MOCKING FORMER 
VICE PRESIDENT 
BIDEN FOR GOING 
TO KENOSHA NOW. 
ESSENTIALLY 
SAYING, YOU 
KNOW, WHY 
COULDN'T HE HAVE 
GONE A COUPLE OF 
DAYS AGO. 
WHAT IS 
DIFFERENT IN 
TERMS OF THE 
SCIENCE. 
PUTTING THE 
FORMER VICE 
PRESIDENT'S 
WORDS BACK ON 
HIM. 
HE SAID A NUMBER 
OF TIMES THAT HE 
WOULD RELY ON 
SCIENCE AND 
THINGS LIKE THAT 
TO TELL HIM 
WHERE HE SHOULD 
GO. 
PART OF WHY 
THEY'RE FOCUSING 
ON THAT, THEY 
ALSO NOTE THAT 
HE DIDN'T CHOOSE 
TO GO TO 
WISCONSIN FOR 
THE CONVENTION. 
THAT'S WHERE HIS 
CONVENTION WAS 
ORIGINALLY 
SUPPOSED TO TAKE 
PLACE, IN 
MILWAUKEE. 
UNLIKE PRESIDENT 
TRUMP CAME TO 
NORTH CAROLINA 
AND HIS 
REPUBLICANS DID 
SOME OF THEIR 
CONVENTION 
ACTIVITY HERE. 
THE PRESIDENT -- 
PRESIDENT 
TRUMP'S CAMPAIGN 
IS POINTING OUT 
THAT JOE BIDEN 
DIDN'T DO THAT. 
IN THEIR VIEW 
THEY'RE SAYING 
THIS IS TOO 
LITTLE TOO LATE. 
AND HE WAS 
CRITICAL OF 
PRESIDENT TRUMP 
FOR GOING 
THROUGH AND NOW 
HE IS GOING 
THROUGH. 
WHAT HAS 
CHANGED? 
SO THEY'RE KIND 
OF MOCKING HIM 
FOR IT AND 
SAYING THIS IS A 
POLITICAL MOVE 
AND IT IS A 
LITTLE LATE. 
>> ALL RIGHT, 
CAROL. 
THANK YOU SO 
MUCH. 
,
>>> MAKE SURE 
YOU THAT KNOW 
HOW TO VOTE IN 
THE 2020 
PRESIDENTIAL 
ELECTION. 
NBC NEWS IS HERE 
TO HELP. 
WE HAVE A NEW 
STATE BY STATE 
GUIDE CALLED 
PLAN YOUR VOTE. 
IT HAS 
INFORMATION ON 
VOTING RULES, 
DEADLINES AND 
RESTRICTIONS BY 
STATE. 
CHECK IT OUT ON 
NBCNEWS.COM/PLANYOU 
,
>>> NEW NATIONAL 
POLLING SHOWS 
JOE BIDEN 
MAINTAINS HIS 
LEAD OVER 
PRESIDENT TRUMP. 
BUT DID LAST 
MONTH'S 
CONVENTIONS HAVE 
AN IMPACT ON THE 
NUMBERS. 
STEVE KORNACKI 
EXPLAINS IT ALL 
FROM OF COURSE 
THE BIG BOARD. 
>> SO WE SAID 
WHEN THE 
REPUBLICAN 
CONVENTION 
ENDED, WELL, 
GIVE IT A COUPLE 
DAYS. 
WE WILL GET A 
BUNCH OF POLLS. 
WOMEN SEE WHAT 
IMPACT ALL OF 
THIS HAD. 
THE REPUBLICAN 
CONVENTION AND 
BEFORE IT THE 
DEMOCRATIC 
CONVENTION. 
NOW WE HAVE 
GOTTEN A BUNCH 
OF POLLS. 
WE GET A GOOD 
SENSE OF IT. 
HOW ABOUT THIS, 
COMPARE TO WHERE 
WE WERE A MONTH 
AGO. 
A MONTH AGO, 
BEFORE THERE 
WERE ANY 
CONVENTIONS 
BIDEN LED ON 
AVERAGE BY 7.4 
THAT. 
IS THE POLLING 
AVERAGE. 
SO ABOUT 7 AND A 
HALF POINTS. 
WHERE IS IT 
RIGHT NOW? 
NOT TOO FAR OFF. 
7.1. 
7.4 A MONTH AGO. 
7.1 NOW. 
LITERALLY IN THE 
LAST COUPLE OF 
MINUTES WE GOT 
ONE MORE POLL 
OUT. 
BIDEN UP BY 10 
IN THIS POLL. 
SO WHEN THIS 
GETS FACTORED 
INTO THE AVERAGE 
I JUST SHOWED 
YOU, YOU'RE 
BASICALLY GOING 
TO BE WHERE YOU 
WERE A MONTH 
AGO. 
A MONTH AGO 
BIDEN PLUS WOULD 
BE ABOUT THE 
SAME THING RIGHT 
NOW. 
NATIONALLY BIDEN 
HAS THAT SIZABLE 
LEAD. 
TRUMP IS UP 
AGAINST IT WHEN 
IT COMES TO THE 
POSITIVE. 
THAT'S THE 
THING, THE 
NATIONAL POLL 
MEASURES THE 
POPULAR VOTE. 
TRUMP SHOWED IN 
2016 HE CAN LOSE 
THE POPULAR VOTE 
AND STILL 
POTENTIALLY FIND 
A WAY TO WIN IN 
THE ELECTORAL 
COLLEGE. 
THAT BRINGS US 
TO THE STATE 
POLLING THAT 
WE'RE GETTING 
FROM 
PENNSYLVANIA. 
ONE OF THE 
CRITICAL STATES. 
TRUMP FLIPPED IT 
IN 2016. 
YOU SEE IT RIGHT 
THERE. 
WON IT BY .7 OF 
A POINT IN 2016. 
BIDEN LEADS BUT 
IT IS CLOSE. 
IT IS CLOSER 
CERTAINLY THAN 
WHAT YOU SEE 
NATIONALLY. 
I THINK THAT IS 
SOMETHING TO 
KEEP IN MIND AS 
YOU LOOK AT 
NATIONAL POLLS 
AND STATE POLLS 
IN THE NEXT 
COUPLE OF 
MONTHS. 
THE LEAD HERE 
FOR BIDEN IS 
FOUR. 
WE JUST SHOWED 
YOU HIS LEAD 
NATIONALLY IS 
ABOUT 7 AND A 
HALF. 
REMEMBER, 
PENNSYLVANIA -- 
HILLARY CLINTON 
WON THE POPULAR 
VOTE IN 2016 BUT 
TRUMP WON 
PENNSYLVANIA. 
PENNSYLVANIA WAS 
SEVERAL POINTS 
MORE REPUBLICAN, 
MORE TRUMP THAN 
THE NATIONAL 
NUMBER. 
SO IF THE 
NATIONAL POLL 
NUMBER RIGHT NOW 
IS 7 AND A HALF 
FOR BIDEN, 
PENNSYLVANIA IS 
PROBABLY GOING 
TO BE A FEW 
POINTS LESS THAN 
THAT FOR HIM. 
SO THAT IS THE 
THING TO KEEP IN 
MIND HERE. 
BIDEN CAN HAVE 
THOSE LEADS 
NATIONALLY BUT 
THE SWING STATES 
WILL PROBABLY BE 
CLOSER. 
AND IF THAT LEAD 
NATIONALLY THAT 
BIDEN COMES DOWN 
MORE, IF IT IS 7 
AND A HALF NOW 
IT COMES DOWN TO 
6, 5, 4, YOU 
WILL PROBABLY 
SEE MOVEMENT 
HERE AS WELL. 
IF THIS MOVES A 
COUPLE MORE 
POINTS, TRUMP IS 
RIGHT THERE. 
THIS IS A 
REMINDER, IT IS 
AN ART HERE, NOT 
A SCIENCE. 
BUT TRUMP COULD 
LOSE THE POPULAR 
VOTE BY A 
SIGNIFICANT 
MARGIN AND STILL 
FIND A WAY IN 
THE ELECTORAL 
COLLEGE. 
THAT'S WHAT 
TODAY'S NUMBERS 
ARE REMINDING US 
OF. 
,
>>> 
MASSACHUSETTS 
INCUMBENT 
SENATOR ED 
MARKEY HELD UP 
JOE KENNEDY TO 
WIN THE 
DEMOCRATIC 
PRIMARY, MAKING 
IT THE FIRST 
TIME IN HISTORY 
THAT A KENNEDY 
LOST A RACE IN 
THE STATE. 
NBC NEWS 
CORRESPONDENT 
GARRETT HICK 
REPORTS. 
>> WELL, 
SAVANNAH, ED 
MARKEY DID IT. 
IT LOOKS LIKE HE 
WILL WIN HIS 
PRIMARY BY ABOUT 
10 POINTS. 
THAT IS A 
COMFORTABLE WIN 
OVER AN 
AOPPONENTENT 
WHEN HE GOT INTO 
THE RACE WAS 
LEADING MARK EBY 
14 POINTS. 
NOW THAT KENNEDY 
MAGIC, THAT 
STREAK IS OVER 
HERE IN 
MASSACHUSETTS. 
THE KENNEDY 
FAMILY HAD WON 
EVERY PRIMARY 
THAT A MEMBER OF 
THE FAMILY HAD 
PARTICIPATED IN 
GOING BACK TO 
1946. 
THAT'S WHEN JFK 
WAS ON THE 
BALLOT FOR THE 
FIRST TIME. 
LAST NIGHT JOE 
KENNEDY III FELL 
SHORT. 
HE HAD A COUPLE 
THINGS WORKING 
AGAINST HIM. 
FIRST, IT IS 
REALLY HARD TO 
BEAT AN 
INCUMBENT. 
SECOND, MARK 
ELOCKED DOWN THE 
LEFT. 
HE HAD YOUNG 
PROGRESSIVES. 
HE HAD SORT OF 
THE LIBERAL 
ELITE IN 
MASSACHUSETTS 
BACKING HIM 
INCLUDING 
ELIZABETH WARREN 
AND AOC. 
AND THIRD, 
KENNEDY WAITED 
FAR TOO LONG TO 
ARTICULATE A 
REASON WHY HE 
WAS RUNNING IN 
THE FIRST PLACE. 
HE NEVER REALLY 
CAME OUT AND 
SAID THIS IS WHY 
I THINK IT IS 
IMPORTANT THAT 
WE DO THIS RIGHT 
NOW. 
AND ALL OF THOSE 
FACTORS WORKED 
AGAINST HIM. 
AND THAT'S WHY 
ED MARKEY, 
SHOULD HE DO 
WHAT HE IS 
EXPECTED TO DO 
AND HANDILY 
DEFEAT THE 
REPUBLICAN 
CHALLENGER IN 
NOVEMBER WILL BE 
HEADING BACK TO 
THE SENATE FOR 
SIX MORE YEARS. 
>> WE STARTED A 
NEWSCAST FOR 
KIDS. 
WE HOPE YOUR 
FAMILY WILL 
WATCH NIGHTLY 
NEWS KIDS 
EDITION. 
>> YOU'RE 
WATCHING NBC 
NEWS NOW. 
>> WE'VE GOT 
BREAKING NEWS. 
>> WE ACTUALLY 
SAW A LARGE 
CONVOY OF THE 
NATIONAL GUARD 
COME THROUGH 
HERE. 
>> IT'S NEWS 
MADE FOR YOUR 
STREAMING WORLD. 
LIVE WEEKDAYS 
STARTING AT 6:00 
A.M. 
EASTERN. 
>> THE AIRLINE 
INDUSTRY IS 
TAKING ANOTHER 
MAJOR HIT DURING 
THE PANDEMIC. 
UNITED AIRLINES 
IS FURLOUGHING 
OVER 16,000 JOBS 
STARTING IN 
OCTOBER. 
NBC NEWS 
BUSINESS AND 
TECHNOLOGY 
CORRESPONDENT 
JOE KENT JOINS 
ME NOW. 
TELL ME MORE 
ABOUT THESE 
CUTS. 
WHAT DO WE KNOW. 
>>> IS A VAN A 
OVER 16,000 JOBS 
WILL BE CUT 
STARTING  
OCTOBER 1st 
BECAUSE THAT'S 
WHEN THE CARES 
ACT EXPIRES. 
THERE'S NO 
EXTENSION FROM 
CONGRESS JUST 
YET. 
THE SILVER 
LINING HERE 
THOUGH IS 16,000 
JOBS ACTUALLY 
LESS THAN HALF 
THAN THE 36,000 
THAT UNITED WAS 
PREPARING FOR. 
AND WHY IS THAT? 
BECAUSE A LOT OF 
PEOPLE TOOK 
VOLUNTARY 
BUYOUTS AND DID 
EARLY 
RETIREMENT. 
THEY'RE DOING 
FEWER HOURS. 
WORKING FEWER 
HOURS AND 
HANGING ON TO 
THEIR HEALTH 
INSURANCE. 
SO ALL OF THOSE 
OPTIONS MADE IT 
POSSIBLE FOR 
UNITED TO CUT 
FEWER WORKERS. 
BUT UNITED IS 
STILL HURTING 
REALLY BADLY 
ALONG WITH ALL 
OF #O OTHER 
AIRLINES AND 
SAYING IN THIS 
STATEMENT, SADLY 
WE DON'T EXPECT 
DEMAND TO RETURN 
TO ANYTHING 
RESEMBLING 
NORMAL UNTIL 
THERE'S A WIDELY 
AVAILABLE 
TREATMENT OR 
VACCINE. 
THIS COMES AFTER 
AMERICAN 
AIRLINES 
ANNOUNCED 19,000 
JOB CUTS. 
SO YOU CAN JUST 
FEEL FOR ALL OF 
US WHO ARE BE 
FLYING, WHETHER 
IT IS FOR WORK 
OR FOR PLEASURE, 
IT IS REALLY 
WRECKING HAVOC 
ON THE TRAVEL 
INDUSTRY ASK IT 
HAS CONTINUED TO 
DO SO FOR THE 
FORESEEABLE 
FUTURE. 
>> ABSOLUTELY. 
I KNOW FOR ALL 
OF US WHO WERE 
USE TODAY BEING 
ON PLANES ALL 
THE TIME FOR 
WORK IT FEELS 
DIFFERENT. 
LET'S TALK 
FURLOUGHS VERSUS 
LAYOFFS. 
MANY ARE 
FURLOUGHS AND 
NOT LAYOFFS BUT 
THAT MEANS THAT 
THEY DON'T HAVE 
A JOB OR A 
PAYCHECK. 
DOES UNITED HAVE 
A PLAN TO REHIRE 
THESE EMPLOYEES 
WHEN THEY CAN. 
>> THAT'S THE 
HOPE, RIGHT. 
IF DEMAND GOES 
BACK TO NORMAL 
OR EVEN 
INCREASES A BIT, 
UNITED IS ABLE 
TO CALL BACK 
SOME OF THE 
WORKERS. 
BUT, AGAIN, IF 
YOU LOOK AT 
WHERE WE ARE 
RIGHT NOW, WHERE 
IT COMES TO 
DEMAND AND THE 
UNCERTAINTY 
AROUND THE 
VACCINE, A LOT 
OF THE AIRLINES 
DON'T EXPECT 
THINGS TO CHANGE 
ANY TIME SOON 
AND THAT'S WHY 
THEY'RE MAKING 
THE BIG JOB 
CUTS. 
>> ANOTHER MAJOR 
COMPANY TRIMMING 
ITS LABOR FORCE 
IS FORD. 
CAN YOU TELL US 
MORE ABOUT THAT? 
>> YEAH. 
ABSOLUTELY. 
SO FORD IS 
CUTTING ABOUT 
1400 SALARIED 
WHITE COLLAR 
JOBS. 
THIS ISN'T 
INSIDE OF THE 
FORD PLANT AND 
FACTORIES AROUND 
THE COUNTRY. 
THE REASON THEY 
SAY THEY'RE 
CUTTING IS NOT 
BECAUSE OF THE 
CORONAVIRUS 
PANDEMIC BUT AN 
ONGOING 
RESTRUCTURING. 
THIS FOLLOWS 
ABOUT 7,000 JOBS 
BEING ELIMINATED 
LAST YEAR 
PREPANDEMIC. 
AND FORD IS 
SHIFTING THE WAY 
IT IS DOING. 
IT IS FOCUSED ON 
THE BATTERY 
POWER AND MORE 
EFFICIENT 
VEHICLES. 
TRYING TO TRIM 
DOWN THE SIZE OF 
THE COMPANY. 
IT IS JUST AHEAD 
OF THE CURRENT 
CEO LEAVING AND 
HE WILL BE 
REPLACED SOON BY 
JIM FARLEY. 
AND SO THIS IS A 
PART OF THAT BIG 
REDESIGN OF THE 
COMPANY. 
SO THEY SAY IT 
IS NOT BECAUSE 
OF THE PANDEMIC. 
BUT YOU STILL 
SEE THE JOB CUTS 
AND IT 
CONTRIBUTES TO 
THE OVERALL 
ECONOMIC PAIN 
THAT MANY ARE 
FEELING RIGHT 
NOW, SAVANNAH. 
>> SO MUCH 
ECONOMIC PAIN 
AND JUST SO MANY 
QUESTIONS ABOUT 
WHEN WE WILL GO 
BACK TO NORMAL. 
THANK YOU SO 
MUCH FOR YOUR 
REPORTING, JO. 
>> SERIOUSLY. 
NO PROBLEM. 
>>> THERE ARE 
NOW MORE THAN 
6.1 MILLION 
CASES OF 
CORONAVIRUS 
CONFIRMED IN THE 
UNITED STATES. 
THE COUNTRY'S 
TOP INFECTIOUS 
DISEASE 
OFFICIAL, DR. 
ANTHONY FAUCI, 
SAYS LABOR DAY 
WILL BE AN 
IMPORTANT TEST 
FORGETTING OUR 
OUTBREAK UNDER 
CONTROL. 
HE SPOKE TO 
ANDREA MITCHELL 
EARLIER TODAY 
ABOUT THE 
CURRENT STATE OF 
THE PANDEMIC. 
>> FALL AND FLU 
SEASON ARE NOW 
JUST AROUND THE 
CORNER. 
THIS IS A MAKE 
OR BREAK MOMENT. 
WHAT IS THE 
REALISTIC 
BASELINE NUMBER 
FOR WHERE WE 
SHOULD BE ON 
DAILY CASES. 
>> WE'RE RIGHT 
AROUND 40,000 
NEW CASES. 
THAT IS AN 
UNACCEPTABLY 
HIGH BASELINE. 
WE HAVE TO GET 
IT DOWN. 
I WOULD LIKE TO 
SEE IT 10,000 OR 
LESS, HOPEFULLY 
LESS. 
THE ISSUE THAT 
WE'RE FACING 
RIGHT NOW IS 
WE'RE ENTERING 
INTO THE LABOR 
DAY WEEKEND. 
AND WE KNOW FROM 
PRIOR EXPERIENCE 
THAT WHEN YOU 
GET INTO HOLIDAY 
WEEKENDS, THE 
FOURTH OF JULY, 
MEMORIAL DAY, 
THERE IS A 
TENDENCY OF 
PEOPLE TO BE 
CARELESS WITH 
REGARD TO THE 
PUBLIC HEALTH 
MEASURES THAT WE 
KEEP 
RECOMMENDING 
OVER AND OVER 
AGAIN. 
SO I REALLY WANT 
TO USE THIS 
OPPORTUNITY. 
ALMOST HAVE A 
PLEA SO THAT 
PEOPLE IN THIS 
COUNTRY TO 
REALIZE THAT WE 
REALLY STILL 
NEED TO GET OUR 
ARMS AROUND THIS 
AND TO SUPPRESS 
THESE TYPES OF 
SURGES THAT WE 
HAVE SEEN. 
WE CAN DO IT. 
YOU CAN HAVE AN 
ENJOYABLE 
WEEKEND. 
BUT YOU CAN DO A 
COUPLE OF 
FUNDAMENTAL 
THINGS THAT WE 
TALK ABOUT ALL 
THE TIME. 
MASKS, DISTANCE, 
AVOIDING CROWDS, 
OUTDOORS MUCH 
MORE THAN 
INDOORS. 
WASHING YOUR 
HANDS. 
>> THE PRESIDENT 
SAID THAT A 
VACCINE IS 
POSSIBLE BEFORE 
THE ELECTION. 
VICE PRESIDENT 
PENCE SAID THAT 
WE ARE A NATION 
OF MIRACLES. 
IS THERE A RISK 
OF PROMISING TOO 
MUCH OR EVEN 
PUSHING AN 
EMERGENCY USE 
AUTHORIZATION 
FOR A VAC SEEN 
BEFORE IT HAS 
BEEN PROVEN 
FULLY SAFE AND 
EFFECTIVE. 
I KNOW THIS HAS 
BEEN USED IN THE 
PAST FOR 
VACCINES BUT 
THAT IS 
THROUGHOUT THE 
NORMAL TIME 
FRAME OF TESTING 
AND RETESTING. 
WE HAVE SEEN THE 
PUSH FOR 
EMERGENCY USE 
BEFORE THINGS 
ARE PROPERLY 
VETTED. 
>> YEAH. 
I MEAN OBVIOUSLY 
THAT IS A 
CONCERN OF MANY 
PEOPLE. 
RIGHT NOW IF YOU 
LOOK AT THE 
TIMETABLE OF THE 
VACCINE 
CANDIDATES THAT 
WE'RE INVOLVED 
WITH, WE HAVE 
THREE NOW IN 
PHASE 3 TRIALS. 
AT LEAST A 
COUPLE OF THEM 
ARE MORE THAN 
HALF COMPLETELY 
ENROLLED. 
SO THINGS ARE 
REALLY RIGHT ON 
TARGET. 
AS I MENTIONED 
MANY TIMES, AND 
THERE IS NO 
REASON FOR ME TO 
CHANGE THIS 
PROJECTION, I 
THINK WE WILL 
KNOW BY THE END 
OF THIS YEAR, 
NOVEMBER OR 
DECEMBER, THAT 
WE DO HAVE A 
SAFE AND 
EFFECTIVE 
VACCINE. 
AND I'M 
CAUTIOUSLY 
OPTIMISTIC. 
>> THE PRESIDENT 
WAS DISCUSSING 
VACCINES ON THE 
FOX INTERVIEW ON 
MONDAY. 
AND HE THEN SAID 
ONCE YOU GET TO 
A CERTAIN 
NUMBER, YOU KNOW 
WE USE THE WORD 
HERD. 
ONCE YOU GET TO 
A CERTAIN 
NUMBER, IT WILL 
GO AWAY SO YOU 
KNOW IT DOESN'T 
HAVE TO BE. 
ARE THEY STILL 
AT THE WHITE 
HOUSE -- I KNOW 
SOME OF THE 
ADVISERS HAVE 
SAID THAT 
THEY'RE NOT 
DOING THIS. 
BUT ARE THEY 
TALKING ABOUT 
HERD IMMUNITY 
AND THE RISKS 
THAT ARE 
ASSOCIATED WITH 
THAT KIND OF 
RHETORIC ABOUT 
HERD IMMUNITY, 
GETTING ENOUGH 
FEMALE SICK. 
>> YOU HAVE TO 
EXPLAIN TO THE 
VIEWERS WHAT 
HERD IMMUNITY S 
HERD IMMUNITY IS 
WHEN YOU HAVE 
ENOUGH PEOPLE 
THAT HAVE EITHER 
BEEN INFECTED 
AND/OR 
VACCINATED AND 
PROTECTED, THAT 
THERE'S ENOUGH 
PROTECTION IN 
THE COMMUNITY 
THAT THE VIRUS 
DOESN'T HAVE THE 
CAPABILITY OF 
FREELY BEING 
TRANSMITTED FROM 
INDIVIDUAL TO 
INDIVIDUAL. 
YOU KIND OF HAVE 
HERD PROTECTION 
AS AN UMBRELLA. 
WE'RE NOT THERE 
YET. 
THAT IS NOT A 
FUNDAMENTAL 
STRATEGY WE'RE 
USING. 
THE FUNDAMENTAL 
STRATEGY THAT WE 
CLEARLY 
ARTICULATE AND 
GO THROUGH WITH 
THE TASK FORCE 
IS TRY TO 
PREVENT AS MANY 
INFECTIONS AS 
YOU CAN PREVENT. 
WHEN YOU GET 
SOMEONE WHO IS 
INFECTED YOU DO 
THE 
IDENTIFICATION, 
ISOLATION AND 
CONTACT TRACING. 
AND YOU DO THE 
KINDS OF THINGS 
TO PREVENT 
INFECTS. 
THE THINGS THAT 
I'VE JUST BEEN 
SPEAKING ABOUT 
WITH YOU WHEN WE 
TALK ABOUT 
TRYING NOT TO 
GET A SURGE IN 
CASES OVER THE 
LABOR DAY 
WEEKEND. 
>>> OXFORD 
UNIVERSITY AND 
ASTRAZENECA IS 
GETTING INTO THE 
FINAL PHASE OF 
THE TESTING. 
NBC NEWS SENIOR 
MEDICAL 
CORRESPONDENT 
DR. JOHN TORRES 
JOINS ME NOW. 
DR. JOHN, ALL 
RIGHT, THAT 
SOUNDS LIKE 
PROMISING NEWS 
ON VACCINES 
TODAY. 
BUT A STUDY FROM 
A SCIENTIFIC 
JOURNAL SAYS 
THAT IT HAS A 
33% SUCCESS RATE 
OF MAKING IT 
THROUGH CLINICAL 
TRIALS. 
REALISTICALLY 
WHERE ARE WE IN 
THE RACE FOR A 
VACCINE. 
>> WHEN YOU LOOK 
AT DRUG TRIALS 
AND THE VACCINE 
TRIALS, THE ROAD 
IS PAVED. 
THEY GOT THROUGH 
PHASE 1, PHASE 2 
AND FAILED 
MISERABLY IN 
PHASE 3. THE 
DIFFERENCE HERE 
THEY'RE LOOKING 
AT THE DATA 
THEY'RE COMING 
OUGHT AND 
PUSHING FORWARD 
WITH THE OTHER 
PHASES. 
WE'RE LOOKING AT 
THE SAFETY AND 
EFFECTIVENESS. 
PHASE 3 IS A 
DIFFERENT TYPE 
OF TRIAL BECAUSE 
HERE THEY USE 
30,000 PEOPLE 
LIKE DR. ANTHONY 
FAUCI SAID SOME 
OF THEM ARE 
ALMOST HALFWAY 
THROUGH 
ENROLLING THOSE 
PEOPLE. 
THEY GIVE THEM 
THE VACCINE AND 
CHECK TO SEE 
WHETHER THEY GOT 
THE VIRUS. 
IF THEY GOT THE 
VIRUS, WHETHER 
THEY HAD 
COMPLICATIONS 
FROM IT AND 
CRUNCH THE 
NUMBERS. 
THEY LOOK AT 
NUMBER ONE THAT 
IT IS SAFE AND 
EFFECTIVE AND 
DOING WHAT WE 
WANT IT TO DO. 
WHAT DR. FAUCI 
SAID AND A LOT 
OF EXPERTS ARE 
EGG IS A, THEY 
THINK WE WILL 
HAVE THE VACCINE 
BY THE END OF 
THE YEAR AT 
LEAST FOR THE 
EMERGENCY USE 
AUTHORIZATION 
PART OF IT. 
AND THAT 
TYPICALLY THANES 
THAT'S WHEN IT 
WILL GET INTO 
THE PHASE 1 OF 
DISTRIBUTION, 
THOSE ESSENTIAL 
WORKERS, 
CRITICAL WORKERS 
IN THE FRONT 
LINE AND HEALTH 
INDUSTRY. 
THOSE WITH 
PREVIOUS MEDICAL 
CONDITIONS. 
THOSE THAT ARE 
ELDERLY AND AT 
HIGH RISK OF 
COMPLICATIONS. 
BECAUSE THE RISK 
IS DANGEROUS 
ENOUGH THAT THE 
BENEFIT OF A 
VACCINE WILL 
HELP OUT. 
FOR THE REST OF 
US REALISTICALLY 
WE'RE LOOKING AT 
LATE WINTER, 
EARLY SPRING 
TIME BEFORE WE 
GET THE VACCINE 
TO THE GENERAL 
PUBLIC. 
>> THAT IS STILL 
NOT TOO LONG 
OFF. 
IT STILL SOUNDS 
KIND OF HELPFUL. 
I KNOW A LOT OF 
HOPE RESTS ON 
HOW LONG THE 
COVID ANTIBODIES 
LAST. 
ARE WE GETTING 
MORE INFORMATION 
BY MUNICIPALITY 
AFTER THE VIRUS. 
>> WE ARE 
GETTING NEW 
INFORMATION. 
IT IS 
ENCOURAGING 
INFORMATION. 
LIKE YOU SAID 
OVER THE PAST 
COUPLE OF MONTHS 
STORIES HAVE 
GONE BACK AND 
FORTH ON 
DIFFERENT 
STUDIES LOOKING 
AT ANTIBODIES 
AND HOW LONG 
THEY LAST. 
WE HAVE HEARD 
THAT PEOPLE ARE 
SLIGHT SYMPTOMS 
OR WHO WERE 
ASYMPTOMATIC, 
THE ANTIBODIES 
TENDED TO GO 
AWAY WITHIN 
THREE MONTHS. 
THIS STUDY FOUND 
THAT FOUR MONTHS 
LATER THE 
ANTIBODIES ARE 
STILL THERE IN 
PEOPLE INFECTED 
WITH 
CORONAVIRUS. 
THAT IS GOOD 
NEWS. 
ON TOP OF THAT, 
WE KNOW THAT OUR 
IMMUNE SYSTEM 
CAN SOMETIMES GO 
TO SLEEP A 
LITTLE BIT BUT 
WAKE UP QUICKLY 
ONCE THE VIRUS 
HITS THEIR BODY. 
IT IS A 
DIFFERENT PART 
OF OUR IMMUNE 
SYSTEM. 
THIS IS ALL 
GIVING US HOPE 
ON TWO DIFFERENT 
PATHS. 
ONE, IF YOU HAD 
CORONAVIRUS, YOU 
GET ANTIBODIES 
AND IT WILL LAST 
LONGER THAN WE 
THOUGHT IT WOULD 
LAST. 
IT IS LOOKING 
LIKE THE VACCINE 
WILL BE A ONCE 
OR TWICE VACCINE 
RATHER THAN 
HAVING TO GET IT 
EVERY YEAR LIKE 
THE FLU, 
SAVANNAH. 
>> LET'S TALK 
ABOUT 
TREATMENTS. 
WHAT IF YOU GET 
SICK AND NEED TO 
BE TREATED? 
THERE ARE NEW 
TRIALS SHOWING 
THAT STEROIDS 
CAN HELP THE 
SICKEST 
PATIENTS. 
>> WHICH IS AN 
INTERESTING 
THING BECAUSE 
STEROIDS -- THE 
DAY I WALKED 
INTO THE 
HOSPITAL I'VE 
BEEN USING 
STEROIDS. 
THEY HAVE BEEN 
AROUND FOR 
YEARS. 
FOR DECADES. 
AND WE HAVE 
LOOKED AT 
DIFFERENT DRUGS 
FOR CORONAVIRUS 
THROUGHOUT THE 
MONTHS. 
HYDROXYCHLOROQUINE 
IF YOU REMEMBER 
THAT DIDN'T WORK 
OUT. 
REMDESIVIR IT 
LOOKS LIKE IT 
CAN LESSEN 
SYMPTOMS AND GET 
PEOPLE OUT OF 
THE HOSPITAL 
SOONER. 
WE'RE LOOKING 
WHAT IT CAN DO 
IN TERMS OF 
CONTROLLING THE 
DEATH RATE. 
STEROIDS IS THE 
ONLY ONE THAT 
CAN LOWER THE 
RISK OF DYING. 
IT CAN LOWER THE 
RISK 
SUBSTANTIALLY 
BUT ONLY FOR 
PEOPLE WHO ARE 
CRITICALLY ILL. 
THAT IS THE 
MESSAGE TO GET 
OUT. 
STEROIDS SHOULD 
NOT BE USED FOR 
MILD SYMPTOMS OR 
MODERATE 
SYMPTOMS. 
IT MIGHT MAKE 
THINGS WORSE. 
FOR THOSE THAT 
ARE CRITICALLY 
ILL IT LOOKED AT 
A VARIETY OF 
OTHER STUDIES 
AND FOUND OUT 
FOR CRITICALLY 
ILL PEOPLE 
STEROIDS REALLY 
HELPED TO KEEP 
THINGS UNDER 
CONTROL AND CUT 
THE DEATH RATE 
DOWN. 
THAT IS THE ONE 
DRUG WE HAVE 
RIGHT NOW THAT 
BEING LOOS LIKE 
IT IS DOING 
THAT. 
>> SUCH GOOD 
NEWS JUST TO 
HEAR THAT 
ANYTHING IS 
DOING THAT AND 
CUTTING THAT 
DEATH RATE DOWN. 
SPEAKING OF THE 
DEATH TOLL, 
THERE'S A LOT OF 
CONFUSION THIS 
WEEK ABOUT WHAT 
THAT NUMBER 
ACTUALLY LOOKS 
LIKE. 
AFTER THE CDC 
SAID ONLY 6% OF 
THE NATION'S 
TOTAL REPORTED 
COVID-19 DEATHS 
WERE ACTUALLY 
FROM THE VIRUS 
AND THE 
REMAINING 
PERCENT DIED OF, 
QUOTE, OTHER 
SERIOUS 
ILLNESSES. 
CAN YOU CLEAR 
THIS UP FOR US? 
>> I CAN TRY TO 
CLEAR IT UP. 
IT CAN BE 
CONFUSING. 
WHAT THEY SAID 
IS 6% DIED FROM 
JUST THE VIRUS. 
THEY COULD NOT 
FIND ANY OTHER 
REASON FOR THEM 
PASSING AWAY. 
THE OTHER 94% 
DIED FROM OTHER 
MEDICAL 
CONDITIONS THAT 
WERE WORSENED 
BECAUSE OF THE 
VIRUS. 
THE WAY I 
EXPLAIN THIS TO 
PEOPLE, DURING 
THE FLU SEASON, 
HARDLY ANYBODY 
ACTUALLY DIES 
FROM THE FLU 
VIRUS. 
THEY TYPICALLY 
DIE FROM 
COMPLICATIONS OF 
GETTING THE FLU 
VIRUS. 
IT COULD BE 
PNEUMONIA OR 
SEPSIS OR KIDNEY 
FAILURE. 
BUT THEY WOULD 
NOT HAVE 
HAPPENED IF THEY 
HAD NOT GOTTEN 
THE FLU. 
SAME THING HERE. 
WE'RE SEEING THE 
SAME THING IN 
THE 94% OF 
PEOPLE THAT DIED 
FROM SEPSIS AND 
EXCESSIVE BLOOD 
CLOTS, PNEUMONIA 
AND KIDNEY 
FAILURE. 
THEY WOULD NOT 
HAVE HAD THOSE 
IF THEY DID NOT 
HAVE 
CORONAVIRUS. 
TO SAY ONLY 6% 
DIED FROM 
CORONAVIRUS, 
THAT IS A 
MISSTATEMENT. 
100% OF THE 
PEOPLE DIED FROM 
CORONAVIRUS. 
IT DEPENDS IF 
THEY HAD OTHER 
CONDITIONS OR 
OTHER EXISTING 
HEALTH PROBLEM 
THAT'S WERE 
EXACERBATED THAT 
LED TO THE DEATH 
BECAUSE OF THE 
CORONAVIRUS. 
>> YEAH. 
THAT TOTALLY 
MAKES SENSE. 
BUT IT IS THE 
CORONAVIRUS THAT 
EITHER GOT THEM 
THAT SICK OR LED 
THEM TO BEING IN 
THE HOSPITAL OR 
WHATEVER. 
DR. JOHN, THANK 
YOU SO MUCH. 
>> YOU BET. 
>>> IF YOU'RE 
BLACK IN 
AMERICA, YOU'RE 
TWICE LIKELY TO 
DIE FROM COVID-
19 BUT THERE A 
LOW PROPORTIONAL 
BLACK VOLUNTEERS 
FOR THE TRIALS 
THAT COULD SAVE 
LIVES. 
>> A MAJOR 
MILESTONE IN THE 
NATION'S FIGHT 
AGAINST COVID-
19. 
>> DON BAKER NOT 
ONLY ANCHORS THE 
NEWS, SHE MADE 
HUGE HEADLINES. 
THE FIRST 
VOLUNTEER AS 
PART OF A PHASE 
3 CLINICAL TRIAL 
IN THE U.S. TO 
GET INJECTED 
WITH A POTENTIAL 
COVID-19 
VACCINE. 
THE FINAL STEP 
BEFORE A DRUG 
CAN BE APPROVED. 
>> YOU'VE HAD 
TWO DOSES. 
>> YES. 
YESTERDAY -- 
MONDAY WAS MY 
SECOND DOSE. 
>> HOW ARE YOU 
FEELING. 
>> I FEEL GREAT. 
I HAD THE -- 
>> NO SIDE 
EFFECTS. 
>> I WAS SORE 
SAME FLOOR A FLU 
SHOT. 
>> HER PRIVATE 
DOCTOR FOR 30 
ASKED HER TO DO 
IT. 
>> HAD TO MAKE 
SURE IT WASN'T A 
LIVE VIRUS AND 
THERE WAS NO WAY 
THAT I COULD GET 
COVID-19 FROM 
BEING PART OF 
THE STUDY. 
>> BAKER STEPPED 
UP AFTER SEEING 
SUFFERING DUE TO 
COVID-19. 
>> I'VE HAD 
CLOSE RELATIVES 
AND PEOPLE THAT 
I'VE KNOWN AND 
FRIENDS THAT 
HAVE PASSED AS 
WELL FROM COVID-
19. 
IT KIND OF MADE 
SENSE TO ME THAT 
INSTEAD OF BEING 
AFRAID, HOW 
COULD I BE PART 
OF THE SOLUTION. 
>> SHE HAS 
GOTTEN A LOT OF 
PRAISE AND MORE 
ON SOCIAL MEDIA. 
>> AS YOU TOLD 
ME, SOME PEOPLE 
THINK YOU'RE 
ABSOLUTELY 
CRAZY. 
>> WHAT IS YOUR 
RESPONSE TO 
THAT. 
>> I REALLY HAVE 
DECIDED THAT, 
YOU KNOW, BEING 
AN ON-AIR PERSON 
I LEARNED A LONG 
TIME AGO THAT 
YOU CAN'T READ 
COMMENTS BECAUSE 
THERE WILL BE 
JUST AS MANY 
PEOPLE WHO LOVE 
YOU AS HATE YOU. 
THIS SISTER IS 
WOKE BECAUSE SHE 
HAS WORKED FOR 
WHITE PEOPLE TOO 
LONG. 
THEY'RE TRYING 
TO KILL US. 
>> SOUNDS 
EXTREME BUT IT 
IS THE DEEP MISS 
TRUST THAT 
EXISTS IN THE 
AFRICAN-AMERICAN 
AND MINORITY 
COMMUNITIES AND 
THE REASON THAT 
RESEARCHERS ARE 
HAVING A HARD 
TIME FINDING 
VOLUNTEERS. 
OF THE 
VOLUNTEERS FOR 
VACCINE TRIALS 
ONLY 40,000 ARE 
MINORITIES, MUCH 
LOWER THAN THE 
SHARE OF THE 
OVERALL 
POPULATION. 
>> WE WANT THEM 
REPRESENTED IN 
VACCINE TRIALS 
SO WE CAN ENSURE 
THAT THE VACCINE 
WORKS WELL IN 
THESE 
POPULATIONS. 
SINCE THEY'RE 
MOST AT RISK. 
>> WHAT DO YOU 
SAY TO PEOPLE 
THAT ARE 
MISTRUSTFUL OF 
THIS PROCESS AND 
THE MEDICAL 
ESTABLISHMENT 
GENERALLY AND 
THE GOVERNMENT 
FOR THAT MATTER. 
>> YEAH. 
I FIRST START BY 
SAYING I 
UNDERSTAND. 
I GET IT. 
>> HE LEADS A 
DIVERSE GROUP OF 
VOLUNTEERS IN 
THE TRIALS. 
,
>> THEY NEED TO 
MAKE AMENDS FOR 
A LOT OF THE 
ISSUES THAT HAVE 
OCCURRED IN 
COMMUNITIES OVER 
THE YEARS. 
>> WALLACE AND 
OTHER EXPERTS 
SAY PERHAPS NO 
ISSUE HANGS 
HEAVIER THAN THE 
SYPHILIS STUDY. 
BEGINNING IN THE 
1930s, SOME 600 
MEN INVOLVED IN 
THE U.S. 
GOVERNMENT STUDY 
OF HOW THE THEN 
RAMPANT DISEASE 
DEVELOPED IF 
LEFT UNTREATED. 
>> WHAT WAS SO 
TERRIBLE ABOUT 
THAT IS FIRST OF 
ALL THEY WERE 
NOT TOLD THAT 
THEY WERE BEING

>> HER FATHER 
BACK THEN WAS A

THE DEVOTED 
FATHER OF 8 AND

AT THE AIR FIELD 
WHERE THE AIRMEN 
TRAINED. 
>> THEY WERE NOT 
TOLD THAT THEY 
HAD SYPHILIS. 
AND THEN WHEN 
PENICILLIN CAME 
OUT, THEY WERE 
NOT ALLOWED TO 
GET THE 
PENICILLIN FOR 
TREATMENT OR 
CURE. 
>> NO ONE KNEW 
THE TRUTH FOR 
SOME 40 YEARS. 
>> THE 
ASSOCIATED PRESS 
REPORTED TODAY 
THE PUBLIC 
HEALTH SERVICE 
CONDUCTED A 40-
YEAR EXPERIMENT 
WITH PEOPLE WITH 
SYPHILIS AND 
DENIED TREATMENT 
TO 200 OF THEM 
TO SEE WHAT 
EFFECT IT WOULD 
HAVE ON THE 
HUMAN BODY.

IS SHAMEFUL AND 
I AM SORRY.

THEY'RE 
ENCOURAGING 
VOLUNTEERS TO 
GET INVOLVED IN 
THE CLINICAL 
TRIALS AND EVERY 
ASPECT OF THE 
EFFORT TO FIGHT 
COVID-19. 
>> WHAT WOULD 
YOU SAY TO THESE 
RESEARCHERS, 
DRUG COMPANIES 
AND OTHERS 
TRYING TO 
RECRUIT PEOPLE 
OF COLOR INTO 
THESE STUDIES. 
>> NOTHING ABOUT 
US WITHOUT US. 
THERE HAS TO BE 
INVOLVEMENT AND

THAT INVOLVES 
THE AFRICAN-

MORE PHASE 3

DRUG MAKERS AND 
RESEARCHERS SAY 
THEY'RE STEPPING 
UP OUTREACH, 
ESPECIALLY IN 
BLACK AND LATIN 
X COMMUNITIES. 
>> I HOPE THAT 
PEOPLE WOULD 
REALLY CONSIDER 
BECAUSE WE HAVE 
TO GET SOMETHING 
DONE. 
AND ALL OF THE 
EXPERTS SAY 
THERE IS NO WAY 
OUT OF WHAT IS 
HAPPENING NOW

POISONING WITH A

ACCORDING TO THE

PRESS CONFERENCE 
TO DISCUSS THE 
FINDINGS IN THE

REPORT AND 
CALLED IT 
UNEQUIVOCAL THAT 
HE WAS THE 
VICTIM OF A 
POISONING. 
NOW, THIS IS THE 
SAME NERVE AGENT 
THAT THE 
RUSSIANS USED IN 
ANOTHER CASE 
BACK IN 2018. 
RUSSIAN AGENTS 
WERE ACCUSED OF 
POISONING AN EX-
SPY AND HIS 
DAUGHTER HERE IN 
THE UNITED 
KINGDOM. 
AND THE U.S. 
ACTUALLY ENACTED 
SANCTIONS

FROM WILMINGTON 
DELAWARE WHERE 
BIDEN SPOKE 
EARLIER. 
LET'S TALK KE
KENOSHA, BIDEN 
IS GOING TWO 
DAYS AFTER 
PRESIDENT TRUMP. 
WHAT DO WE KNOW 
ABOUT HIS VISIT?

SINCE WE ARE 
TALKING ABOUT 
ROOM RATERS, I 
DON'T WANT TO 
BRAG OR 
ANYTHING, MY 
HOME STUDIO GOT 
AN UPDATE TO A 
10 OUT OF 10. 
I STARTED OUT

CONGRATS JOE, 
YOU HAVE ROOM 
FOR IMPROVEMENT. 
HEADLINES COMING 
OUT, INCLUDING 
THE ONE THAT WAS 
MADE BEFORE THE 
VICE %PRESIDENT 
ARRIVED FOR HIS 
REMARKS ON THE 
THE CORONAVIRUS, 
JOE AND JILL 
BIDEN WILL 
TRAVEL HERE, 
BILLING IT AS A 
COMMUNITY 
CONVERSATION. 
WE HAVE SEEN 
LOCAL OFFICIALS 
THIS WEEK 
UD
INCLUDING THE 
GOVERNOR, TONY 
EVER SAYING D THEY 
DID NOT 
WANT 
PRESIDENT TRUMP 
TO COME. 
THE 
PRESIDENT OF 
THE NAACP SAYING 
HE DIDN'T WANT 
THEM TO COME. 
THE BIDEN 
CAMPAIGN IS NOT 
BILLING THIS AS 
A COMMUNITY 
CONVERSATION. 
I HAD A CHANCE 
WHEN JOE BIDEN 
TOOK QUESTIONS 
TO ASK HIM WHY 
NOW IS THE RIGHT 
TIME TO GO. 
LET'S TAKE A 
LISTEN. 
>> LOCAL 
DEMOCRATIC 
OFFICIALS 
INCLUDING THE 
GOVERNOR 
PREVIOUSLY 
DISCOURAGED 
PRESIDENT TRUMP 
FROM VISITING 
AND JUST 
YESTERDAY THE 
PRESIDENT OF THE 
SAID  NAACP IO
HE DIDN'T WANT 
TO SEE EITHER OF 
THE CANDIDATES 
VISIT, THIS IS A 
SENSITIVE 
SITUATION IN THE  
CITY. 
WHY NOW THE 
RIGHT TIME FOR 
YOU TO GO TO 
KENOSHA? 
WHAT DO YOU HOPE 
TO ACCOMPLISH? 
>> WE HAVE 
SPOKEN TO ALL OF 
THE
LEADERS, THERE 
HAS BEEN 
OVERWHELMING 
REQUEST THAT I 
DO COME BECAUSE, 
WE GOT TO HEAL. 
WE GOT TO PUT 
THINGS TOGETHER 
AND BRING PEOPLE 
TOGETHER. 
MY PURPOSE IN 
GOING WILL BE TO 
DO JUST THAT. 
>> Reporter: 
NUMBER OF 
REASONS WHY THIS 
VISIT WHIS GOING 
TO BE 
SIGNIFICANT. 
THE IC BIDEN 
CAMPAIGN LIKES 
TO HIGHLIGHT THE 
CONTRAST BETWEEN 
WHAT THE EN
PRESIDENT DOES, 
THEY CONSIDERED 
IT A FOTO OP 
SAYING IT WAS 
DIVISIVE TO WHAT 
THE FORMER VICE 
PRESIDENT PLANS 
TO DO, A HEALING 
KIND OF VISIT, 
THE OTHER PART 
IS VERY RARE FOR 
JOE BIDEN TO 
TRAVEL MUCH OF 
ANYWHERE. 
A TRIPHIM 
GETTING ON A 
PLANE IS ONLY 
THE THIRD TIME 
HE HAS DONE IT 
SINCE GETHE ONSET 
OF THE PANDEMIC. 
I ASKED BIDEN IF 
HE IS WILLING TO 
PUSH THE 
ENVELOPE AND GET 
OUT A LITTLE BIT 
MORE. 
HE MAKES IT 
CLEAR, NO, HE IS 
GOING %TO FOLLOW 
THE BEST ADVICE 
FROM HIS S MEDICAL 
EXPERTS AND 
WANTS TO SET A 
GOOD EXAMPLE, 
NOT ENCOURAGE 
THE GATHERINGS 
THE FOLLOWINGS 
TO DO BIG 
RALLIES. 
>> HE 
LIKES TO 
CONTRAST WHAT 
PRESIDENT TRUMP 
DOES. 
DOES BIDEN PLAN 
TO MEET WITH 
JACOB BLAKE'S 
FAMILY? %
>> Reporter: 
YEAH. 
ANOTHER BIG MP
QUESTION, THE 
CAMPAIGN HAS NOT 
ADDRESSED THAT 
YET. 
BIDEN, AFTER THE 
SHOOTING 
INVOLVING JACOB 
BLAKE, HAD 
REVEALED HE HAD 
SPOKEN AS WELL 
AS KAMALA HARRIS 
SPOKE TO JACOB 
BLAKE'S FAMILY. 
JUST A FEW WEEKS 
AGO HERE, HE 
TALKED ABOUT 
ANOTHER 
CONVERSATION LKHE 
HAD WITH THE 
FAMILY OF GEORGE 
FLOYD, 
SPECIFICALLY ONE 
OF IFS HIS 
GRANDDAUGHTERS, 
I BELIEVE IT 
WAS, TALKING 
ABOUT THE 
EXAMPLES THEY 
HAVE SHOWN IN 
TERMS OF THE 
GRACE THEY HAVE 
SHOWN, EVEN WHEN 
THEIR FAMILY 
MEMBERS HAVE 
BEEN A FLASH 
POINT IN THIS 
NATIONAL DEBATE 
OVER SAFETY AND 
LAW AND ORDER. 
IT WOULD BE A 
SURPRISE TO ME 
FOR THAT IF HE 
DIDN'T MEET WITH 
MEMBERS OF HIS 
FAMILY. 
THEY HAVE NOT 
REVEALED WHAT IS 
ON HIS ITINERARY 
JUST SIMPLY 
BEYOND ARRIVING 
IN KENOSHA 
TOMORROW. 
>> THIS IS 
TRUMP'S AMERICA. 
HE WON'T BRING 
US TOGETHER. 
HE DOESN'T WANT 
TO. 
HE NEVER WILL. 
HE ONLY DIVIDES. 
ENFLAMES, 
INFURIATES, 
TEARS PEOPLE 
APART, ATALWAYS 
MAKING THINGS 
WORSE. 
IT'S TRUMP'S 
AMERICA. 
>> OBVIOUSLY 
SOME DISTURBING 
IMAGE THERE IS 
AND PUSHING BACK 
AGAINST TRUMP'S 
MESSAGE THAT 
BIDEN'S AMERICA 
WOULD NOT BE 
SAFE. 
WHAT ARE YOU UT
LEARNING ABOUT 
THIS MESSAGING ME
AND APPROACH 
FROM THE BIDEN 
CAMPAIGN? 
>> Reporter: IT 
IS INTERESTING. 
YOU CAN LOOK AT 
IT ONE OF TWO 
WAYS. 
THERE IS EITHER 
THE ARGUMENT 
THAT A LOT OF 
TRUMP ALLIES, 
HAVE BEEN 
MAKING, THEY 
BELIEVE THTHE 
BIDEN CAMPAIGN 
ON THIS 
DEFENSIVE NOW, 
GIVEN THE TRUMP 
CAMPAIGN'S FOCUS 
ON LAW AND 
ORDER, THE 
PRESIDENT'S  L
ATTEMPT TO LINK 
JOE BIDEN SAY 
THE IMAGES UNDER 
JOE BIDEN WOULD 
BE SIMILAR AND 
EXPANDED. 
THE BIDEN 
CAMPAIGN SAYING 
WE WANT TO FLIP 
THE ISSUE AND 
SAY THIS IS ON 
TRUMP'S WATCH. 
THAT E AD IS FROM 
THE DNC, IT'S 
BEEN INTERESTING 
HOW THE BIDEN 
CAMPAIGN AND THE 
NATIONAL PARTY 
PLAYOFF OF EACH 
OTHER. 
THE BIDEN 
CAMPAIGN IS E 
PUTTING $45 
MILLION BEHIND A 
CAMPAIGN. THON
THAT MESSAGE 
FROM THE BIDEN 
CAMPAIGN USES 
BIDEN'S OWN 
WORDS, WHEN WE 
SPOKE ON MONDAY 
WHEN MOHE 
DELIVERED THE 
REMARKS IN 
PITTSBURGH, 
DENOUNCING 
VIOLENCE IN THE 
STREETS AND 
ACCUSING THE 
PRESIDENT OF 
IGNITING THEM, 
THESE KINDS OF 
CONFLICTS EVEN 
MORE. 
THE BIDEN 
CAMPAIGN TRIED 
TO KEEP THEIR 
FOCUS TON 
CORONAVIRUS AND 
THAT'S THE 
MESSAGE THEY 
CONTINUE TO 
PRESS. 
YOU WANT TO 
FOLLOW THE MONEY 
IN A POLITICAL 
CAMPAIGN, THAT'S 
WHAT THE FO
MESSAGES THEY 
ARE PUTTING ONTO 
THE AIR WAVES. 
THEY FEEL HE 
NEEDS TO ADDRESS 
THE SENTIMENTS 
AS THE PRESIDENT 
CONTINUES TO 
FOCUS ON IT AS 
WELL. 
>> LET'S TALK 
ABOUT SCHOOL RE-
OPENINGS. 
TELL US ABOUT 
THAT. 
>> Reporter: THE 
BIDEN CAMPAIGN 
EVENTS LOOK LIKE 
GOVERNING THAN 
CAMPAIGNING, 
THAT'S WHAT WE 
SAW FIRST BIDEN 
AND DR. JILL 
BIDEN, HIS WIFE, 
A LIFELONG 
EDUCATOR, 
FOCUSING ON 
GETTING BACK TO 
SCHOOL, 
ESPECIALLY AT  
THIS TIME OF THE 
PANDEMIC, WHAT 
THAT MEANS FOR 
FAMILIES, THAT 
WAS THE BRIEFING 
THE BIDENS SAT 
DOWN FOR 
TOGETHER WHICH 
INCLUDED LEADERS 
IN THE FIELD OF FOGE
MEDICINE AND 
EDUCATION, INONE 
OF THEM FORMER 
HHS SECRETARY, 
NOW THE 
PRESIDENT OF 
AMERICAN 
UNIVERSITY, PART D  
OF THEIR FOCUS, ED
WHAT THE FORMER 
VICE PRESIDENT 
TALKED ABOUT WAS 
CALLING, THIS IS 
AN EMERGENCY 
SITUATION SAYING 
THE PRESIDENT, 
MEMBERS ATOF 
CONGRESS, THEY 
SHOULD CONSIDER 
THIS AN 
EMERGENCY 
DECLARATION AND 
RELEASE FEDERAL 
FUNDING THAT 
WOULD HELP 
SCHOOLS RE-OPEN. 
LET'S LISTEN TO 
WHAT RAG THE VICE 
TO SIDENT HAD 
SAY ABOUT THIS. 
>> WE ARE FACING 
THE MOST 
DIFFICULT 
CIRCUMSTANCES 
AND WE ARE 
SEEING AN AWFUL 
LOT OF HEART AND 
A LOT OF GRIT 
FROM OUR 
EDUCATORS AND 
STUDENTS AND TO 
TRY TO RISE TO 
THE OCCASION 
HERE. 
OUR GOVERNMENT VE
HASN'T COME UP 
TO THAT BAR AND 
HASN'T SHOWN 
GRIT OR 
DETERMINATION. 
EAPRESIDENT 
TRUMP AND HIS 
ADMINISTRATION 
HAD DONE THEIR 
JOBS EARLY ON 
WITH THIS 
CRISIS, AMERICAN AM
SCHOOLS WOULD BE 
OPEN AND THEY 
WOULD BE OPEN 
SAFELY. 
>> Reporter: HE 
IS SAYING 
PRESIDENT TRUMP 
IS TRYING TO 
DISTRACT  THE 
COUNTRY BY 
TALKING ABOUT 
THE LAW AND 
ORDER MESSAGE. 
HE TOLD THE OF
PRESIDENT GET 
OFF TWITTER AND 
IF YOU ARE SUCH 
A GREAT DEAL 
MAKER, BRING 
CONGRESS BACK 
TOGETHER, GET 
THE FUNDING 
RELEASED TO HELP 
SCHOOLS RE-OPEN 
AND BRING THE 
RESOURCES THEY 
NEED TO HAVE 
REMOTE LEARNING 
TO HAVE THE 
SAFETY PROTOCOLS 
ABIDED BY, 
OBVIOUSLY AT 
THIS THPOINT, NOT 
YET DONE BY THE 
PRESIDENT OR BY 
THE CONGRESS. 
>> SO MUCH BACK 
AND FORTH ON 
THAT, RE-OPENING 
SCHOOLS. 
I HAVE TO 
CONGRATULATE YOU 
ONCE AGAIN, 
GOING FROM A C 
MY THURSDAY TO 
AN A-PLUS, 
THAT'S A FEAT IF 
I HAVE EVER 
HEARD ONE. 
THANK YOU, AS 
ALWAYS.  A
%
WANTS SOME %
ADVICE THERE. 
>> I'LL LET HIM %
KNOW. 
>>> JOE BIDEN 
WILL BE IN 
KENOSHA TWO DAYS 
AFTER PRESIDENT 
TRUMP WAS THERE. 
THE PRESIDENT'S 
VISIT WAS MET 
WITH MIXED 
REACTION. 
SUPPORTERS 
PRAISED HIM FOR 
HIGHLIGHTING THE 
PROTEST AND 
OTHERS ACCUSED 
HIM OF 
POLITICIZING THE 
SHOOTING OF 
JACOB BLAKE. 
>> HE IS COMING 
HERE TO TRY TO 
LIFT PEOPLE UP. 
WE ARE HERE TO 
HELP. 
>> WE DON'T HAVE 
ANY WORDS FOR 
THE ORANGE MAN. 
ALL I ASK, HE 
KEEP HIS 
DISRESPECTING 
LANGUAGE AWAY 
FROM OUR FAMILY. 
>> NBC NEWS 
REPORTER, 
SHAQUILLE 
BREWSTER JOINS 
ME. 
>> Reporter: THE 
CONCERN WAS HIS 
VISIT AND 
EVERYTHING THAT 
COME WITH THE 
TRIP WOULD LEAD 
TO THE BREAK OF 
THE PEACE YOU 
HAVE SEEN IN THE 
PAST COUPLE OF 
DAYS. 
WE DID NOT SEE 
THAT LAST NIGHT 
WHILE THERE WERE 
MINOR CLASHES, 
EVERYTHING 
REMAINED 
RELATIVELY 
PEACEFUL. 
SO MUCH SO THAT 
THE MAYOR OF 
KENOSHA IS NOW 
LIFTING THE 
CURFEW, JUST A 
COUPLE OF 
MINUTES AGO, 
PUTTING OUT A 
STATEMENT WHERE 
HE SAYS THE LAST 
SEVERAL NIGHTS 
HAVE BEEN 
PEACEFUL IN THE 
COMMUNITY AND IN 
THE JUDGMENT OF 
LAW ENFORCEMENT, 
IT IS 
APPROPRIATE TO 
REMOVE THE 
CURFEW. 
WE KNOW THAT 
CURFEW WAS 
PLANNED TO 
EXTEND THROUGH 
THE HOLIDAY 
WEEKEND. 
POSITIVE NEWS ON 
THAT FRONT 
TALKING TO 
PEOPLE AND THE 
AREA AND IN THE 
COMMUNITY. 
THEY FEEL LIKE 
THERE IS 
STARTING TO BE A 
CHANGE, THINGS 
ARE STARTING TO 
TURN THE CORNER 
IN KENOSHA AFTER 
THOSE VIOLENT 
NIGHTS LAST 
WEEK. 
>> JOE AND JILL 
BIDEN WILL VISIT 
KENOSHA 
TOMORROW. 
HOW ARE PEOPLE 
REACTING TO THAT 
VISIT? 
>> Reporter: 
LET'S GO 
STRAIGHT TO THE 
SOUND. 
I TALKED TO 
PEOPLE ABOUT 
THEIR REACTION 
TO VICE 
PRESIDENT BIDEN 
COMING. 
LISTEN TO WHAT 
THEY TOLD ME. 
>> IT'S GOOD. 
I HOPE THERE IS 
NO TROUBLE. 
HE WAS INSIDE. 
THAT WAS GOOD. 
HE GOT IN AND 
OUT. 
BIDEN WILL 
PROBABLY DO THE 
SAME, HOPEFULLY. 
>> I'M GLAD THE 
OTHER SIDE IS 
COMING, IT SHOWS 
KENOSHA THERE IS 
SUPPORT. 
>> Reporter: AS 
WITH ANYTHING SO 
MUCH OF THIS 
DEPENDS ON WHERE 
YOU STAND ON THE 
POLITICAL 
SPECTRUM, IF YOU 
SUPPORT THE 
PRESIDENT, YOU 
WERE HAPPY TO 
SEE HIM 
YESTERDAY AND 
NOT THAT EXCITED 
ABOUT VICE 
PRESIDENT BIDEN 
COMING. 
BIDEN, WILL BE 
THE FIRST TIME 
WISCONSIN HAS 
SEEN A 
DEMOCRATIC IN 
THIS STATE IN 
2012. 
HILLARY CLINTON 
GOT FLAK FOR NOT 
COMING OUT 
DURING THE 
GENERAL 
ELECTION. 
BIDEN WILL BE 
THE FIRST 
DEMOCRATIC 
NOMINEE COMING 
HERE SINCE 
BARACK OBAMA. 
>> THE PRESIDENT 
CLAIMS HE SENT 
IN THE NATIONAL 
GUARD IN 
KENOSHA, BUT 
THERE IS 
DISCREPANCIES 
AROUND THAT. 
TELL US WHAT YOU 
ARE SEEING FROM 
THE GROUND. 
>> Reporter: 
LET'S WALK RIGHT 
THROUGH THIS. 
ON SUNDAY 
EVENING, JACOB 
BLAKE WAS SHOT 
IN THE BACK BY A 
KENOSHA POLICE 
OFFICER 7 TIMES 
ON VIDEO. 
THAT VIDEO 
INSTANTLY WENT 
VIRAL, THE 
OUTRAGE WAS 
IMMEDIATE. 
BY SUNDAY 
EVENING AND 
SUNDAY NIGHT, 
YOU HAD PROTESTS 
AND THE PROTESTS 
TURNED VIOLENT, 
THERE WERE FIRES 
AND LOOTING AND 
BURGLARIES. 
ON MONDAY 
MORNING, ONCE WE 
WOKE TOWN THE 
SCENES OF 
DESTRUCTION -- 
WOKE UP TO THE 
SCENE, MONDAY 
MORNING, 
GOVERNOR TONY 
ANNOUNCED HE WAS 
SENDING IN THE 
NATIONAL GUARD. 
THE NATIONAL 
GUARD IS UNDER 
GOVERNOR'S 
AUTHORITY. 
HE SENT IN 125 
NATIONAL GUARD 
MEN AND WOMEN TO 
COME HERE TO 
KENOSHA.
THE OUTRAGE 
CONTINUED MONDAY 
NIGHT. 
WE SAW A ROUND 
OF DESTRUCTION 
IN DIFFERENT 
AREAS OF THE 
CITY, WEAPON IN 
UPTOWN AND SAW A 
BLOCK OF THE 
CITY DESTROYED. 
THAT WAS WHERE 
THE PRESIDENT 
TOURED 
YESTERDAY. 
TUESDAY MORNING 
THAT'S WHEN WE 
SAW THAT 
DESTRUCTION FROM 
THE PAST TWO 
NIGHTS. 
THE GOVERNOR 
THAT MORNING 
ANNOUNCED HE WAS 
DOUBLING THE 
NATIONAL GUARD 
COMMITMENT FROM 
125 TO 250 GUARD 
MEMBERS. 
WE GOT A TWEET 
FROM THE 
PRESIDENT, THE 
FIRST TIME HE 
ACKNOWLEDGED 
VIOLENCE IN 
KENOSHA AND SAID 
THE GOVERNOR 
SHOULD CALL IN 
THE NATIONAL 
GUARD IN 
WISCONSIN. 
IT IS READY, 
WILLING AND MORE 
THAN ABLE TO END 
THE PROBLEM 
FAST, 
EXCLAMATION 
POINT, FAST, IN 
ALL CAPS. 
THE POINT IS 
THAT THE 
NATIONAL GUARD 
HAD ALREADY BEEN 
THERE. 
WE GET TO 
TUESDAY NIGHTS 
IT WAS A LITTLE 
BIT CALMER BUT 
WE SAW AS 
PROTESTS ENDED, 
KYLE RATE 
ENHOUSE SHOT AND 
KILLED TWO 
PROTESTERS AND 
INJURED ANOTHER. 
HE ANNOUNCED 500 
MEMBERS FROM THE 
WISCONSIN 
NATIONAL GUARD 
WERE COMING IN. 
THE PRESENCE 
MORE VISIBLE. 
THE PRESIDENT 
TWEETED THAT 
MORNING, HE SAID 
TODAY I WILL BE 
SENDING FEDERAL 
LAW ENFORCEMENT 
AND THE NATIONAL 
GUARD TO 
KENOSHA, 
WISCONSIN TO 
RESTORE LAW AND 
ORDER. 
WE KNOW THE 
NATIONAL GUARD 
WAS ALREADY 
THERE FOR 
SOMETIME. 
ONE THING TO 
NOTE WHEN THE 
PRESIDENT SAYS 
HE WAS SENDING 
IN FEDERAL LAW 
ENFORCEMENT, WE 
KNOW THERE WERE 
FBI AGENTS ON 
THE GROUND, 
AGENTS FROM THE 
DEPARTMENT OF 
ATF. 
THEY WERE 
HELPING AND 
ASSISTING THE 
INVESTIGATION OF 
BOTH THE JACOB 
BLAKE SHOOTING 
THAT HAPPENED 
SUNDAY NIGHT AND 
THE CYLE RITEN 
HOUSE. 
I THINK THE 
BOTTOM LINE IS 
WHEN YOU TALK 
ABOUT THE 
NATIONAL GUARD 
AND THE NATIONAL 
GUARD PRESENCE 
IN WISCONSIN, 
HERE IN KENOSHA, 
THAT'S CREDITED 
FOR HELPING 
BRING AN END TO 
THE VIOLENCE, 
THAT CAME FROM 
THE GOVERNOR, 
NOT THE 
PRESIDENT OF THE 
UNITED STATES. 
>> THANK YOU FOR 
WALKING US 
THROUGH THAT. 
THANK YOU FOR 
YOUR REPORTING. 
SEE YOU SOON. 
>>> PRESIDENT 
TRUMP IS 
VISITING ANOTHER 
BATTLE GROUND 
STATE, THIS TIME 
NORTH CAROLINA. 
CAROL LEE JOINS 
ME FROM NORTH 
CAROLINA. 
THE PRESIDENT IS 
THERE TO DECLARE 
WILMINGTON A 
WORLD WAR II 
HERITAGE CITY 
BUT THIS IS ALSO 
AN IMPORTANT 
VISIT FOR HIS 
CAMPAIGN. 
TELL US MORE 
ABOUT THAT AND 
TELL US WHY. 
>> Reporter: 
THAT'S RIGHT. 
NORTH CAROLINA 
IS REALLY KEY TO 
PRESIDENT 
TRUMP'S 
CAMPAIGN, HE WON 
THE STATE IN 
2016. 
HIS CAMPAIGN 
WANTS TO MAKE 
SURE HE HOLDS 
ONTO IT IN 2020. 
THIS IS THE 
SECOND TIME THAT 
PRESIDENT TRUMP 
VISITED NORTH 
CAROLINA IN THE 
LAST 10 DAYS. 
THAT GIVES YOU A 
SENSE OF HOW 
IMPORTANT HE 
THINKS THIS IS. 
HE DID SPEAK 
HERE A LITTLE 
BIT AGO AND 
DESIGNATED 
WILMINGTON AT 
WORLD WAR II 
HERITAGE, THE 
FIRST IN THE 
COUNTRY, TO 
COMMEMORATE THE 
75th ANNIVERSARY 
OF THE END OF 
WORLD WAR II, 
BEFORE HE GOT 
HERE, HE MADE 
CLEAR WHAT THE 
VISIT WAS ABOUT, 
THAT'S HIS 
CAMPAIGN. 
HE SPOKE TO 
SUPPORTERS AT 
THE AIRPORT AND 
CRITICIZED HIS 
OPPONENT, JOE 
BIDEN AND LAID 
OUT THE STAKE AS 
HE SEES THEM IN 
THIS ELECTION IN 
STARK TERMS. 
LET'S LISTEN TO 
WHAT HE HAD TO 
SAY. 
>> WE WON A BIG 
RACE IN 2016. 
[CHEERING] 
THIS IS THE MOST 
IMPORTANT 
ELECTION IN THE 
HISTORY OF OUR 
COUNTRY, I 
REALLY BELIEVE 
THAT. 
[CHEERING] 
BECAUSE WE ARE 
RUNNING AGAINST 
PEOPLE THAT HAVE 
GOT BIG ISSUES, 
THEY GOT SOME 
BIG, BIG 
PROBLEMS. 
THEY ARE STONE 
COLD CRAZY, WE 
HAVE TO KEEP OUR 
COUNTRY. 
AS YOU KNOW, JOE 
BIDEN, HE 
DOESN'T HAVE A 
CLUE , THE 
COUNTRY COMING 
BACK REALLY 
STRONGLY. 
>> Reporter: YOU 
HEARD FAMILIAR 
LINES FROM 
PRESIDENT TRUMP 
PARTICULARLY HIS 
ATTACKS ON JOE 
BIDEN SAYING HE 
DOESN'T HAVE A 
CLUE. 
ONE THING YOU 
DIDN'T HEAR 
DURING THE VISIT 
ABOUT THE STATE 
SUFFERING FROM 
CORONAVIRUS. 
THIS STATE HAS 
HAD 2800 DEATHS 
FROM 
CORONAVIRUS, 
CASES HAVE BEEN 
ON THE RISE HERE 
IN RECENT WEEKS. 
IN THE LAST WEEK 
THEY HAD 12,000 
NEW CASES. 
PRESIDENT TRUMP, 
THAT'S NOT A 
STORY HE WANTS 
TO FOCUS ON. 
HE WOULD RATHER 
FOCUS ON LAW AND 
ORDER, ATTACKS 
ON HIS OPPONENT 
AND HE IS 
FOCUSED ON 
VETERANS AND 
YEARS THAT PLAY 
WELL FOR HIM IN 
TERMS OF HIS 
BASE. 
>> LET'S TALK 
ABOUT A RECENT 
POLL FROM EAST 
CAROLINA 
UNIVERSITY AND 
SHOWING 
PRESIDENT TRUMP 
AND JOE BIDEN 
ARE IN A TIGHT 
RACE BUT THE 
PRESIDENT IS 
LEADING BY TWO 
POINTS. 
HOW CRUCIAL IS 
THIS STATE FOR 
THE PRESIDENT 
COME NOVEMBER, 
YOU MENTIONED 
HOW FREQUENTLY 
HE HAS BEEN 
VISITING THERE. 
LET'S TALK 
THROUGH WHAT 
THIS MEANS IN 
TERMS OF OTHER 
BATTLEGROUND 
STATES, WHERE 
DOES NORTH 
CAROLINA SIT IN 
THAT LANDSCAPE? 
>> Reporter: 
NORTH CAROLINA 
IS ONE OF THOSE 
STATES THAT IF 
IT IS NOT GOING 
PRESIDENT 
TRUMP'S WAY, 
THERE IS A 
NUMBER OF OTHER 
THINGS THAT 
PROBABLY AREN'T 
GOING PRESIDENT 
TRUMP'S WAY IN 
THIS ELECTION IN 
TERMS OF OTHER 
BATTLEGROUND 
STATES. 
WE HAVE SEEN 
HIM, HE HAS AN 
EDGE HERE 
ACCORDING TO THE 
POLL IN NORTH 
CAROLINA, 
INVESTED A LOT 
OF TIME AND 
ENERGY INTO THE 
STATE. 
THIS IS WHERE HE 
WAS GOING TO 
HAVE THE 
REPUBLICAN 
NATIONAL 
CONVENTION, HE 
HAD TO WITHDRAW 
THAT, THEY DID 
DO SOME OF THE 
CONVENTION HERE 
LAST WEEK. 
HE IS INVESTING 
A LOT OF TIME 
HERE BECAUSE HE 
NEEDS THIS STATE 
TO TURN OUT FOR 
HIM. 
IT'S UNLIKE 
PENNSYLVANIA, 
WHICH IS LEANING 
TOWARDS 
ACCORDING TO A 
RECENT POLL, 
TOWARDS JOE 
BIDEN, SOMETHING 
THAT THE 
CAMPAIGN EXPECTS 
MORE. 
NORTH CAROLINA 
IS A BELL 
WEATHER IN A 
SENSE THAT IF 
IT'S NOT 
TRENDING TOWARDS 
PRESIDENT TRUMP, 
HIS CAMPAIGN 
WILL VIEW THAT 
AS HIM HAVING 
TROUBLE 
ELSEWHERE IN 
TERMS OF OTHER 
BATTLE GROUND 
STATES, NOT JUST 
HERE. 
>> JOE BIDEN 
WILL VISIT 
KENOSHA, 
WISCONSIN 
TOMORROW, TWO 
DAYS AFTER THE 
PRESIDENT WAS 
JUST THERE. 
ANY REACTION 
FROM PRESIDENT 
TRUMP OR HIS 
CAMPAIGN ON 
BIDEN GOING 
THERE AFTER HIM? 
>> Reporter: 
YEAH, WE HEARD 
FROM PRESIDENT 
TRUMP'S 
CAMPAIGN. 
THEY ARE MOCKING 
BIDEN FOR GOING 
TO KENOSHA NOW 
SAYING, WHY 
COULDN'T HE HAVE 
GONE A COUPLE OF 
DAYS AGO. 
WHAT IS THE 
DIFFERENCE IN 
TERMS OF THE 
SIGN, PUTTING 
THE FORMER VICE 
PRESIDENT'S 
WORDS BACK ON 
HIM, HE SAID HE 
WOULD RELY ON 
THE SCIENCE AND 
THINGS LIKE THAT 
TO TELL HIM 
WHERE HE SHOULD 
GO. 
PART OF WHY THEY 
ARE FOCUSING ON 
THAT, HE DIDN'T 
CHOOSE TO GO TO 
WISCONSIN FOR 
THE CONVENTION. 
THAT'S WHERE HIS 
CONVENTION WAS 
ORIGINALLY 
SUPPOSED TO TAKE 
PLACE IN 
MILWAUKEE UNLIKE 
WHERE PRESIDENT 
TRUMP CAME TO 
NORTH CAROLINA 
AND HIS 
REPUBLICANS DID 
SOME OF THEIR 
CONVENTION 
ACTIVITY HERE. 
PRESIDENT 
TRUMP'S CAMPAIGN 
IS POINTING OUT 
JOE BIDEN DIDN'T 
DO THAT AND TOO 
LITTLE TOO LATE. 
HE WAS CRITICAL 
OF PRESIDENT 
TRUMP FOR GOING 
THERE. 
THEY ARE MOCKING 
HIM FOR IT AND 
ESSENTIALLY 
SAYING, THIS IS 
A POLITICAL MOVE 
AND A LITTLE 
LATE. 
>> THANK YOU SO 
MUCH.

JOE BIDEN 
MAINTAIN HIS 
LEAD OVER 
PRESIDENT TRUMP, 
DID LAST MONTH'S 
CONVENTIONS HAVE 
AN IMPACT ON THE 
NUMBERS? 
STEVE KORNACKI 
EXPLAINS IT FROM 
THE BIG BOARD. 
>> Reporter: WE 
SAID WHEN THE 
REPUBLICAN 
CONVENTION 
ENDED, WELL, 
GIVE IT A COUPLE 
OF DAYSES WE 
WILL GET A BUNCH 
OF POLLS AND 
SEEWA IMPACT 
THIS HAD. 
THE REPUBLICAN 
CONVENTION AND 
BEFORE IT, 
DEMOCRATIC 
CONVENTION, NOW 
WE GOT A BUNCH 
OF POLLS. 
HOW ABOUT THIS, 
LET'S COMPARE 
WHERE WE ARE TO 
A MONTH AGO. 
A MONTH AGO, 
BIDEN LED BY 
7.4, THE POLLING 
AVERAGE. 
7.5 POINTS, 
WHERE IS IT NOW? 
NOT TOO FAR OFF. 
7.1, 7-POINT H A 
MONTH AGO, 7.1 
NOW. 
IN THE LAST 
COUPLE OF 
MINUTES WE GOT 
ONE MORE POLL 
OUT, I CAN SHOW 
YOU THAT BIDEN 
UP BY 10 IN THIS 
POLL. 
WHEN THAT GETS 
FACTORED INTO 
THE AVERAGE, YOU 
ARE GOING TO BE 
WHERE YOU WERE A 
MONTH AGO, BIDEN 
PLUS 7.5 A M 
AGO, BIDEN 
PLUSES ABOUT THE 
SAME THING RIGHT 
NOW. 
NATIONALLYING 
BIDEN HAS THAT 
SIZABLE LEAD. 
TRUMP IS UP 
AGAINST IT. 
THAT'S THE 
THING, THE 
NATIONAL POLL 
MEASURES THE 
POPULAR VOTE, 
TRUMP SHOWED 
THIS 2016 HE CAN 
LOSE THE POPULAR 
ROTE AND FIND A 
WAY TO WIN IN 
THE E ELECTORAL 
COLLEGE, 
BRINGING US TO 
THE STATE 
POLLING FROM 
PENNSYLVANIA, 
ONE OF THE 
CRITICAL STATES 
TRADITIONALLY 
DEMOCRATIC, 
TRUMP FLIPPED IT 
IN 2016. 
HE WON BY 7/10 
OF A POINT IN 
2016. 
POLL TODAY, 
BIDEN LEADS, 
IT'S CLOSER, 
CERTAINLY THAN 
WHAT YOU SEE 
NATIONALLY. 
THAT'S IMPORTANT 
TO KEEP IN MIND 
AS YOU LOOK AT 
NATIONAL POLLS 
AND STATE POLLS 
IN THE NEXT 
COUPLE OF 
MONTHS. 
THE LEAD IS 
FOUR, WE SHOWED 
YOU HIS LEAD 
NATIONALLY IS 
ABOUT 7.5, 
HILLARY CLINTON 
WON THE POPULAR 
VOTE IN 2016. 
TRUMP WON 
PENNSYLVANIA, 
PENNSYLVANIA WAS 
SEVERAL POINTS 
MORE REPUBLICAN, 
MORE TRUMP THAN 
THE NATIONAL 
NUMBERS. 
IN THE NATIONAL 
POLL NUMBER NOW 
IS 7.5 FOR 
BIDEN, 
PENNSYLVANIA IS 
PROBABLY GOING 
TO BE A FEW 
POINTS LESS THAN 
THAT FOR HIM. 
THAT'S THE THING 
TO KEEP IN MIND. 
BIDEN CAN HAVE 
THE LEADS 
NATIONALLY, BUT 
THE SWING STATES 
ARE PROBABLY 
GOING TO BE 
CLOSER. 
IF THAT LEAD 
NATIONALLY THAT 
BIDEN HAS COMES 
DOWN MORE, IF IT 
COMES TOWN TO 6 
TO 5 TO 4, YOU 
ARE PROBABLY 
GOING TO SEE 
MOVEMENT HERE AS 
WELL. 
IF THIS MOVE AS 
COUPLE OF 
POINTS, TRUMP IS 
RIGHT THERE. 
AGAIN, THAT'S A 
REMINDER, IT'S 
NOT A SCIENCE, 
TRUMP CAN LOSE 
THE POPULAR VOTE 
AND LOSE IT BY A 
SIGNIFICANT 
MARGIN AND STILL 
FIND A WAY IN 
THE ELECTORAL 
COLLEGE. 
THAT'S WHAT 
TODAY'S NUMBERS 
ARE REMINDING US 
OF.  
MASSACHUSETTS 
ININCUMBENT 
SENATOR ED 
MARKEY HELD OFF 
JOE KENNEDY TO 
WIN THE PRIMARY, 
MAKING IN THE 
FIRST TIME A 
KENNEDY LOST A 
RACE IN THE 
STATE. 
>> Reporter: ED 
MARKEY DID IT. 
HE GOING TO END 
UP WINNING HIS 
PRIMARY BY 10 
POINTS, THAT'S A 
COMFORTABLE WIN 
OVER AN OPPONENT 
WHO WAS LEADING 
MARKEY BY 14 
POINTS, NOW THAT 
KENNEDY MAGIC, 
THAT STREAK IS 
OVER HERE IN 
MASSACHUSETTS. 
THE KENNEDY 
FAMILY HAD WON 
EVERY PRIMARY A 
MEMBER OF THE 
FAMILY 
PARTICIPATED IN, 
GOING BACK TO 
1946, WHEN JFK 
WAS ON THE 
BALLOT FOR THE 
FIRST TIME. 
KENNEDY FELL 
SHORT. 
HE HAD A COUPLE 
OF THINGS 
WORKING AGAINST 
HIM. 
IT'S HARD TO 
BEAT AN 
INCUMBENT 
SENATOR, IT 
HAPPENS RARELY. 
SECOND, MARKEY 
LOCKED DOWN THE 
LEFT. 
HE HAD YOUNG 
PROGRESS IFS AND 
THE LIBERAL 
ELITE IN 
MASSACHUSETTS 
BACKING HIM 
INCLUDING 
ELIZABETH 
WARREN, THE 
ENDORSEMENT OF 
AOZ, ALEXANDRIA 
OCASIO-CORTEZ, 
HELPED HIM LOCK 
DOWN THE LEFT. 
CONDITION 
DIWAITED FAR TOO 
LONG TO 
ARTICULATE A 
REASON WHY HE 
WAS RUNNING IN 
THE FIRST PLACE. 
HE NEVER CAME 
OUT AND SAID 
THIS IS WHY IT'S 
IMPORTANT THAT 
WE DO THIS RIGHT 
NOW. 
ALL OF THOSE 
FACTORS WORKED 
AGAINST HIM. 
ED MARKEY, 
SHOULD HE DO 
WHAT HE IS 
EXPECTED TO DO 
AND HANDLE A 
REPUBLICAN 
CHALLENGER IN 
NOVEMBER WILL 
HEAD TO THE 
SENATE FOR SIX 
MORE YEARS.

>>> THE AIRLINE 
INDUSTRY IS 
TAKING A MAJOR 
HIT DURING THE 
PANDEMIC. 
UNITED AIRLINES 
FURLOUGHING OVER 
16,000 JOBS 
STARTING 
OCTOBER. 
BUSINESS AND 
TECHNOLOGY 
CORRESPONDENT JO 
LING KENT JOINS 
ME NOW. 
TELL US ABOUT 
THE CUTS. 
>> Reporter: 
OVER 16,000 JOBS 
WILL BE CUT 
OCTOBER 1st, 
WHEN THE CARES 
ACT EXPIRES, THE 
AID PROVIDED FOR 
THE AIRLINES 
RUNS OUT. 
THERE IS NO 
EXTENSION FROM 
CONGRESS YET. 
16,000 JOBS, 
LESS THAN HALF 
OF THE 36,000 
THE UNITED WAS 
ORIGINALLY 
PREPARING FOR. 
WHY IS THAT? 
BECAUSE A LOT OF 
PEOPLE TOOK 
VOLUNTARY 
BUYOUTS AND DID 
EARLY 
RETIREMENT, 
DOING FEWER 
HOURS, WORKING 
FEWER HOURS AND 
HANGING ON TO 
THEIR HEALTH 
INSURANCE. 
THOSE OPTIONS 
MADE IT POSSIBLE 
FOR UNITED TO 
CUT FEWER 
WORKERS. 
UNITED STILL IS 
HURTING BADLY 
ALONG WITH THE 
OTHER AIRLINES 
AND SAYING SADLY 
WE DON'T EXPECT 
DEMAND TO RETURN 
TO ANYTHING 
RESEMBLING 
NORMAL UNTIL 
THERE IS A 
WIDELY AVAILABLE 
TREATMENT OR 
VACCINE. 
THIS ALSO COMES 
AFTER AMERICAN 
AIRLINES 
ANNOUNCED 19,000 
JOB CUTS. 
YOU CAN FEEL FOR 
US WHO ARE NOT 
FLYING, WHETHER 
IT'S FOR WORK OR 
PLEASURE IT'S 
REEKING HAVOC ON 
THE TRAVEL 
INDUSTRY. 
>> I KNOW FOR 
ALL OF US WHO 
ARE USED TO 
BEING ON PLANES 
ALL THE TIME, IT 
FEELS DIFFERENT. 
LET'S TALK 
THROUGH 
FURLOUGHS VERSUS 
LAYOFFS. 
MANY ARE 
FURLOUGHS AND 
NOT LAYOFFS. 
PEOPLE WILL 
STILL BE OUT OF 
WORK, THEY DON'T 
HAVE A JOB OR A 
PAYCHECK. 
DOES UNITED HAVE 
PLANS TO REHIRE 
EMPLOYEES WHEN 
THEY CAN. 
>> Reporter: 
THAT'S THE HOPE. 
IF DEMAND GOES 
BACK TO NORMAL 
OR INCREASES A 
BITS UNITED IS 
ABLE TO CALL 
BACK SOME OF 
THESE WORKERS. 
IF YOU LOOK AT 
WHERE WE ARE 
NOW, IT COMES TO 
DEMAND AND THE 
UNCERTAINTY AND 
A VACCINE, THE 
AIRLINES SAY WE 
DON'T EXPECT 
THINGS TO 
IMPROVE ANY TIME 
SOON, THAT'S WHY 
WE ARE MAKING 
BIG JOB CUTS. 
>> ANOTHER MAJOR 
COMPANY TRIMMING 
THE LABOR FORCE 
IS FORD, CAN YOU 
TELL US ABOUT 
THAT? 
>> Reporter: 
YEAH, 
ABSOLUTELY. 
FORD IS CUTTING 
ABOUT 1400 
SALARIED WHITE 
COLLAR JOBS. 
THIS ISN'T 
INSIDE THE 
PLANTS AND 
FACTORIES. 
THE REASON THEY 
ARE CUTTING IS 
NOT BECAUSE OF 
THE CORONAVIRUS 
PANDEMIC, IT'S 
BECAUSE OF AN ON 
GOING 
RESTRUCTURE, 
FOLLOWING 7000 
JOBS ELIMINATED 
LAST YEAR, 
PREPANDEMIC, AND 
FORD IS SHIFTING 
THE WAY IT'S 
DOING BUSINESS 
AND FOCUSING ON 
THE BATTERY 
POWERED AND 
EFFICIENT 
VEHICLES, 
TRAINING TO TRIM 
DOWN THE SIZE OF 
THE COMPANY. 
IT'S ALSO JUST 
AHEAD OF THEIR 
CURRENT CEO 
LEAVING AND HE 
WILL BE REPLACED 
SOON BY JIM 
FARLEY AND THIS 
IS PART OF THAT 
BIG REDESIGN OF 
THE COMPANY. 
THEY SAY IT'S 
NOT BECAUSE OF 
THE PANDEMIC BUT 
YOU STILL SEE 
THE JOB CUTS AND 
IT CONTRIBUTES 
TO THE ECONOMIC 
PAIN THAT SO 
MANY ARE FEELING 
RIGHT NOW. 
>> SO MUCH 
ECONOMIC PAIN 
AND QUESTIONS 
ABOUT WHEN WE 
WILL GO BACK TO 
NORMAL.   
THANKS FOR YOUR 
REPORTING. 
>>> THERE ARE 
NOW MORE THAN 
6.1 MILLION 
CASES OF 
CORONAVIRUS 
CONFIRMED IN THE

THE COUNTRY'S 
TOP INFECTIOUS 
DISEASE 
OFFICIAL, 
ANTHONY FAUCI 
SAYS LABOR DAY 
WILL BE AN 
IMPORTANT TEST 
FOR GETTING THE 
OUTBREAK UNDER 
CONTROL. 
HE SPOKE TO 
ANDREA MITCHELL 
ABOUT THE STATE 
OF THE PANDEMIC. 
>> Reporter: 
FALL AND FLU 
SEASON ARE 
AROUND THE 
CORNER, WHAT IS 
THE REALIST 
BASELINE NUMBER 
FOR WHERE WE 
SHOULD BE ON 
DAILY CASES. 
>> AROUND 40,000 
NEW CASES, 
THAT'S UNANGELES 
AROUND 40,000 
NEW CASES. %
THAT IS AN %
UNACCEPTABLY %
HIGH BASELINE. %
WE HAVE TO GET %
IT DOWN. %
I WOUL
UNACCEPTABLE 
BASELINE. 
I WOULD LAKE TO 
SEE 10,000 OR 
LESS. 
THE ISSUE IS WE 
ARE ENTERING IN 
A DAY OR TWO 
INTO THE LABOR 
DAY WEEKEND. 
WE KNOW FROM 
PRIOR EXPERIENCE 
THAT WHEN YOU 
GET INTO HOLIDAY 
WEEKENDS, THE 
4th OF JULY, 
MEMORIAL DAY, 
THERE IS A TEN 
DEPPSEY OF 
PEOPLE TO BE 
CARE LESS WITH 
REGARD TO THE 
PUBLIC HEALTH 
MEASURES WE KEEP 
RECOMMENDING 
OVER AND OVER 
AGAIN. 
I WANT TO USE 
THE OPPORTUNITY 
TO HAVE A PLEA 
SO PEOPLE IN 
THIS COUNTRY TO 
REALIZE WE STILL 
NEED TO GET OUR 
ARMS AND THIS IS 
SUPPRESS THESE 
TYPES OF SURGES 
WE HAVE SEEN. 
WE CAN DO IT. 
YOU CAN HAVE AN 
ENJOYABLE 
WEEKEND BUT DO A 
COUPLE OF 
FUNDAMENTAL 
THINGS WE TALK 
ABOUT ALL THE 
TIME MASKS, 
DISTANCE, 
AVOIDING CROWD, 
OUTDOORS MORE 
THAN INDOORS, 
WASHING YOUR 
HANDS. 
>> THE PRESIDENT 
SAID A VACCINE 
IS POSSIBLE 
BEFORE THE 
ELECTION. 
VICE PRESIDENT 
PENCE SAID WE 
ARE A NICE OF 
MIRACLES. 
IS THERE A RISK 
OF PROMISING TOO 
MUCH OR PUSHING 
A VACCINE BEFORE 
IT'S SAFE AND 
EFFECTIVE. 
AUTHORIZATIONS 
HAVE USED IN THE 
PAST FOR THE 
VACCINE. 
THERE ARE YEARS 
FOR TESTING, WE 
HAVE SEEN THE 
PUSH FOR 
EMERGENCY USE 
BEFORE THINGS 
ARE PROPERLY 
VETTED. 
>> OBVIOUSLY 
THAT'S A CONCERN 
OF MANY PEOPLE. 
RIGHT NOW IF YOU 
LOOK AT THE 
TIMETABLE OF THE 
VACCINE 
CANDIDATES, WE 
HAVE THREE THAT 
ARE THIS PHASE 3 
TRIALS, AT LEAST 
A COUPLE OF THEM 
ARE MORE THAN 
HALF COMPLETELY 
ENROLLED. 
THINGS ARE RIGHT 
ON TARGET. 
THERE IS THO 
REPUBLICAN FOR 
ME TO CHAIN THIS 
PROJECTION, I 
THINK WE WILL 
KNOW BY THE END 
OF THE YEAR 
NOVEMBER OR 
DESKS WE HAVE A 
SAFE AND 
EFFECTIVE 
VACCINE AND I'M 
CAUTIOUSLY 
OPTIMISTIC. 
>> THE PRESIDENT 
WAS DISCUSSING 
VACCINES ON A 
FOX INTERVIEW 
MONDAY AND SAID, 
ONCE YOU FETE TO 
A CERTAIN NUMBER 
YOU KNOW WE USE 
THE WORD HERD, 
ONCE YOU GET TO 
A CERTAIN 
NUMBER, IT'S 
GOING TO GO AWAY 
AND SO IT 
DOESN'T HAVE TO 
BE. 
ARE THEY STILL 
AT THE WHITE 
HOUSE, I KNOW 
SOME OF THE 
ADVISORS SAID 
THEY ARE NOT 
DOING THIS, ARE 
THEY TALK ABOUT 
HERD IMMUNITY? 
THE RISKS 
ASSOCIATED WITH 
THAT KIND OF 
RHETORIC ABOUT 
HERD IMMUNITY, 
IS SOME HOW 
MAKING US SAFE, 
GETTING ENOUGH 
PEOPLE SICK. 
>> YOU HAVE TO 
EXPLAIN TO THE 
VIEWERS WHAT 
HERD IMMUNITY 
IS. 
WHEN YOU HAVE 
ENOUGH PEOPLE 
WHO HAVE BEEN 
INFECTED AND OR 
VACCINATED AND 
PROTECTED, THERE 
IS ENOUGH 
PROTECTION IN 
THE COMMUNITY 
THAT THE VIRUS 
DOESN'T HAVE THE 
CAPABILITY OF 
FREELY BEING 
TRANSMITTED FROM 
AN INDIVIDUAL TO 
INDIVIDUAL, YOU 
HAVE THE HERD 
PROTECTION AS AN 
UMBRELLA. 
THAT'S NOT A 
FUNDAMENTAL 
STRATEGY WE ARE 
USING. 
THE FUNDAMENTAL 
STRATEGY WE GO 
BY IS TRY TO 
PREVENT AS MANY 
INFECTIONS AS 
YOU CAN PREVENT. 
WHEN YOU GET 
SOMEONE 
INFECTED, YOU TO 
THE 
IDENTIFICATION, 
ISOLATION AND 
CONTACT TRACING 
AND YOU DO THE 
KIND OF THINGS 
TO PREVENT 
INFECTIONS, THE 
THINGS I HAVE 
BEEN SPEAKING 
ABOUT WITH YOU, 
WHEN WE WERE 
TALKING ABOUT 
MAKING SURE WE 
DON'T GET 
SURGING OF CASES 
OVER THE LABOR 
DAY WEEKEND. 
>>> OXFORD 
UNIVERSITY AND 
ASTRAZENICA 
GETTING INTO THE 
FINAL PHASE OF 
TESTING FOR THE 
CORONAVIRUS 
VACCINE. 
PHASE 3 ARE SET 
TO BEGIN AS 
EARLY AS TODAY 
IN THE U.S. DR. 
JOHN TOREZ JOINS 
ME NOW. 
DR. JOHN, THAT 
SOUND LIKE 
PROMISING NEWS 
ON VACCINES 
TODAY BUT A 
STUDY FROM 
SCIENTIFIC 
JOURNAL, BIO 
STATISTICS SAYS 
VACCINES FOR 
INFECTIOUS 
DISEASES HAVE A 
33% SUCCESS RATE 
OF MAKING IT 
THROUGH CLINICAL 
TRIAL. 
REALISTICALLY 
WHERE ARE WE IN 
THE RACE FOR A 
VACCINE? 
>> WHEN YOU LOOK 
AT DRUG TRIALS 
AND VACCINE 
TRIALS, THE ROAD 
IS PAVED WITH 
DRUGS AND 
VACCINES, THEY 
GOT THROUGH 
PHASE 1, 2 AND 
FAILED IN PHASE 
3, THE 
DIFFERENCE HERE 
IS, THEY ARE 
LOOKING REALLY 
HARD AT THE DATA 
THEY ARE COMING 
OUT WITH AND 
USING THAT PUSH 
FORWARD ON THE 
OTHER PHASES, 
THE DATA LOOKS 
PROMISING AS FAR 
AS SAFETY AND 
EFFECTIVENESS. 
PHASE 3 IS A 
DIFFERENT TYPE 
OF TRIAL BECAUSE 
HERE THEY USED 
30,000 PEOPLE, 
LIKE DR. FAUCI 
SAID, SOME ARE 
HALFWAY THROUGH 
ENROLLING THE 
PEOPLE. 
THEY ARE GIVING 
THEM THE VACCINE 
AND CHECK TO SEE 
WHETHER THEY GOT 
THE VIRUS, IF 
THEY GOT THE 
VIRUS, WHETHER 
THEY HAD 
COMPLICATIONS 
AND CRUNCH THE 
NUMBER, LOOK AT 
THE DATA TO MAKE 
SURE IT'S SAFE 
AND IT'S 
EFFECTIVE AND 
DOING WHAT WE 
WANT IT TO DO 
WHAT DR. FAUCI 
SAID IS EXPERTS 
ARE SAYING, THEY 
THINK WE WILL 
HAVE THE VACCINE 
BY THE END OF 
THE YEAR, AT 
LEAST FOR THE 
EMERGENCY USE 
AUTHORIZATION 
PART OF IT. 
THAT TYPICALLY 
MEANS THAT'S 
WHEN IT'S GOING 
GET INTO THAT 
PHASE 1 OF 
DISTRIBUTION, 
THOSE ESSENTIAL 
WORKERS AND 
CRITICAL 
WORKERS, IN THE 
FRONTLINE AND 
HEALTH INDUSTRY, 
THOSE WITH 
PREEXISTING 
MEDICAL 
CONDITIONS, 
ELDERLY, HIGH 
RISK OF 
COMPLICATIONS, 
BECAUSE THAT 
RISK IS 
DANGEROUS ENOUGH 
THAT THE BENEFIT 
OF THE VACCINE 
CAN HELP OUT. 
FOR THE REST OF 
US, 
REALISTICALLY, 
WE ARE LOOKING 
AT LATE WINTER, 
EARLY SPRINGTIME 
FRAME BEFORE WE 
GET THE VACCINE 
TO THE GENERAL 
PUBLIC. 
>> THAT'S STILL 
NOT TOO LONG 
OFF. 
SOUNDS KIND OF 
HOPEFUL. 
A LOT OF HOPE 
FOR A VACCINE 
RESTS ON HOW 
LONG IS COVID 
ANTIBODIES LASTS 
AFTER SOMEONE IS 
INFECTED. 
WE HEARD ABOUT 
PEOPLE BEING 
REINFECTED. 
ARE WE GETTING 
INFORMATION 
ABOUT IMMUNITY. 
>> IT'S 
ENCOURAGING 
INFORMATION. 
OVER THE PAST 
COUPLE OF MONTHS 
WE HAD STORIES 
GO BACK AND 
FORTH ON 
DIFFERENT 
STUDIES LOOKING 
AT ANTIBODIES, 
IN SOME 
INSTANCES, SOME 
STUDIES PEOPLE 
WITH SLIGHT 
SYMPTOMS OR 
ASYMPTOMATIC, 
ANTIBODIES WENT 
AWAY AFTER THREE 
MONTHS. 
THE NEW STUDY IS 
LOOKING AT IT 
AND IT'S A 
ROBUST STUDY AND 
FOUND FOUR 
MONTHS LATER, 
ANTIBODIES ARE 
STILL THERE, 
PEOPLE INFECTED 
WITH 
CORONAVIRUS, 
THAT'S GOOD NEWS 
ON TOP OF THAT, 
WE KNOW OUR 
IMMUNE SYSTEM 
CAN, ESSENTIALLY 
GO TO SLEEP BUT 
WAKE UP QUICKLY 
ONCE THE VIRUS 
HITS OUR BODY 
BECAUSE OF T-
CELLS, A 
DIFFERENT PART 
OF OUR IMMUNE 
SYSTEM. 
THIS IS GIVING 
US HOPE ON TWO 
DIFFERENT PATHS. 
IF YOU HAD 
CORONAVIRUS, YOU 
GET THE 
ANTIBODIES, THE 
IMMUNITY WILL 
LAST LONGER THAN 
WE THOUGHT. 
FOR THE VACCINE, 
IT'S MAKING IT 
LIKELY THE 
VACCINE MIGHT BE 
ONCE OR TWICE 
TYPE VACCINE 
INSTEAD OF 
HAVING TO GET 
THEM EVERY YEAR 
LIKE THE FLU. 
>> LET'S TALK 
ABOUT 
TREATMENTS. 
WHAT IF YOU GET 
SICK AND NEED TO 
BE TREATMENT. 
STEROIDS CAN 
HELP WITH THE 
SICKEST COVID 
PATIENTS? 
>> STEROIDS HAVE 
BEEN USED SINCE 
THE DAY I WALKED 
IN THE HOSPITAL, 
I HAVE BEEN 
USING STEROIDS. 
THEY ARE EX-
EXPENSIVE AND 
BEEN AROUND FOR 
DECADES. 
WE LOOKED AT 
DIFFERENT DRUGS 
FOR CORONAVIRUS 
THROUGHOUT THE 
MONTH, 
HYDROXYCHLOROQUINE, 
THAT DIDN'T WORK 
OUT, REMDESIVIR 
CAN HELP. 
IT CAN GET 
PEOPLE OUT OF 
THE HOSPITAL 
SOONER. 
WE ARE LACKING 
TO SEE WHAT IT 
DOES AS FAR AS 
CONTROLLING THE 
DEATH RATE. 
STEROIDS CAN 
HELP PEOPLE, 
HELP PREVENT 
THEM FROM DYING, 
LOWER THE RISK 
OF DIEING AND 
LOWER THE RISK 
SUBSTANTIALLY 
BUT ONLY FOR 
PEOPLE WHO ARE 
CRITICALLY ILL. 
STEROIDS SHOULD 
NOT BE USED FOR 
PEOPLE THAT ONLY 
80s MILD 
SYMPTOMS OR 
MODERATE 
SYMPTOMS. 
IT MIGHT MAKE 
THINGS WORSE. 
THOSE CRITICALLY 
ILL, THIS STUDY 
LOOKED AT OTHER 
STUDIES, 
THOUSANDS OF 
PEOPLE AND FOUND 
OUT FOR CRITICAL 
ILL PEOPLE, 
THOSE STEROIDS, 
REALLY HELP KEEP 
THINGS UNDER 
CONTROL AND CUT 
THEIR DEATH RATE 
DOWN. 
THAT'S THE ONE 
DRUG WE HAVE NOW 
THAT LOOKS LIKE 
IT'S DOING THAT. 
>> SUCH GOOD 
NEWS TO HEAR 
ANYTHING IS 
DOING THAT AND 
CUTTING THAT 
DEATH RATE DOWN. 
SPEAKING OF THE 
DEATH TOLL, 
THERE IS 
CONFUSION THIS 
WEEK ABOUT WHAT 
THAT NUMBER 
ACTUALLY LOOKS 
LIKE AFTER THE 
CDC SAID ONLY 6% 
OF THE NATION'S 
TOTAL REPORTED 
COVID-19 DEATHS 
WERE FROM THE 
VIRUS AND THE 
REMAINING 
PERCENT DIED OF 
QUOTE OTHER 
SERIOUS 
ILLNESSES. 
>> IT CAN BE 
CONFUSING. 
WHAT THEY SAID 
WAS 6% DIED FROM 
JUST THE VIRUS. 
THEY COULD NOT 
FIND ANY OTHER 
REASON FOR THEM 
PASSING AWAY. 
THE OTHER 94%, 
DIED FROM OTHER 
MEDICAL 
CONDITIONS THAT 
WERE WORSENED 
BECAUSE OF THE 
VIRUS.   
IF YOU THINK 
ABOUT IT, DURING 
THE FLU SEASON, 
HARDLY ANYBODY 
DIES FROM THE 
FLU VIRUS, THEY 
DIE FROM 
COMPLICATIONS OF 
GETTING THE FLU 
VIRUS, PNEUMONIA 
OR A BLOOD 
INFECTION, 
KIDNEY FAILURE, 
THOSE WOULD NOT 
HAVE HAPPENED IF 
THEY HAD NOT 
GOTTEN THE FLU. 
WE ARE SEEING 
THE SAME THING 
IN THE 94% OF 
PEOPLE, DYING 
FROM SEPSIS, 
KIDNEY FAILURE. 
TO SAY 6% DIED 
FROM 
CORONAVIRUS, 
THAT'S A 
MISSTATEMENT, 
ALL 100% OF 
THOSE PEOPLE 
DIED FROM 
CORONAVIRUS, IT 
DEPENDS ON 
WHETHER THEY HAD 
OTHER CONDITIONS 
OR EXISTING 
HEALTH PROBLEMS 
THAT WERE 
EXACERBATED THAT 
LED TO THEIR 
DEATH BECAUSE OF 
THE CORONAVIRUS.

>>> HI, 
EVERYONE. 
I'M SAVANNAH 
SELLERS. 
LET'S GO TO NBC 
NEWS NOW. 
LET'S GO TO JOE 
FRYER. 
HE IS FOLLOWING 
THE LATEST NEWS 
FROM 
NBCNEWS.COM. 
JOE, WHAT DO YOU 
HAVE FOR US? 
>> HEY THERE, 
SAVANNAH. 
LET'S START WITH 
POLITICS. 
FORMER VICE 
PRESIDENT JOE 
BIDEN RAISED 
ABOUT $365 
MILLION IN 
AUGUST. 
AND THE MAJORITY 
OF DONATIONS 
WERE ONLINE. 
CAMPAIGN ALSO 
DISCLOSED THAT IN
AUGUST, THEY 
WERE FIRST-TIME 
DONORS. 
BIG BUMPS WERE 
SEEN. 
REFERRED $48 
MILLION IN THE 
TWO DAYS AFTER 
THAT 
ANNOUNCEMENT, 
DURING THE DNC. 
THE CAMPAIGN 
RAISED $70 
MILLION. 
THIS IS ALL TO 
SPITE LIMITED 
CAMPAIGN EVENTS 
BECAUSE OF 
CORONAVIRUS. 
TODAY, BIDEN 
TALKED ABOUT WHY 
HE'S NOT HITTING 
THE ROAD MORE. 
>> I THINK MY 
MESSAGE IS 
GETTING OUT, 
BASED ON WHAT 
ALL THE POLLING 
DATA SHOWS, AND 
THE MILLIONS OF 
PEOPLE WHO HAVE 
WATCHED WHAT 
I'VE HAD TO SAY, 
AND THE 
CIRCUMSTANCES 
FOR WHICH I HAVE 
SAID IT. 
BUT I WOULD LIKE 
TO GET OUT MORE. 
BUT I THINK A 
PRESIDENT HAS A 
RESPONSIBILITY 
TO SET THE 
EXAMPLES, SET 
THE EXAMPLE FOR 
HOW TO GO OUT. 
NOT TO GO OUT, 
NOT WEARING A 
MASK, NOT BEING 
A POTENTIAL 
CAULDRON FOR 
SIGNIFICANT 
OUTBREAKS FOR 
COVID. 
>> DR. ANTHONY 
FAUCI IS WARNING 
PEOPLE NOT TO 
LET THEIR GUARDS 
DOWN YET, WHEN 
IT COMES TO 
CORONAVIRUS GYNE
GUIDELINES. 
HE SAYS THE 
CURRENT TALLY OF 
ABOUT 40,000 IN 
THE U.S. IS 
UNACCEPTABLY 
HIGH. 
HE'D LIKE TO SEE 
IT SHRINK TO 
10,000 OR LESS. 
BUT HE'S 
WORRIED, THAT 
MAY NOT HAPPEN 
WITH THE 
UPCOMING LONG 
WEEKEND. 
HE OFFERED 
ADVICE FOR 
STAYING SAFE 
OVER LABOR DAY, 
TO PREVENT 
FURTHER SPREAD. 
>> YOU CAN HAVE 
AN ENJOYABLE 
WEEKEND. 
BUT YOU CAN DO A 
COUPLE OF 
FUNDAMENTAL 
THINGS THAT WE 
TALK ABOUT ALL 
THE TIME. 
MASK, DISTANCE, 
AVOIDING CROWDS, 
OUTDOORS, MUCH 
MORE THAN 
INDOORS, WASHING 
YOUR HANDS. 
THOSE TYPES OF 
SIMPLE THINGS 
CAN CLEARLY 
PREVENT THE 
TYPES OF SURGES 
THAT WE HAVE 
SEEN FOLLOWING 
HOLIDAY WEEKENDS 
LIKE WE'RE 
ENTERING INTO 
NOW WITH LABOR 
DAY. 
>> UNITED 
AIRLINES PLANS 
TO CUT MORE THAN 
16,000 JOBS, AS 
EARLY AS NEXT 
MONTH. 
FEDERAL 
CORONAVIRUS AIDS 
SAY THE 
PROTECTIONS IS 
RUNNING OUT. 
THE TRAVEL 
INDUSTRY IS 
STILL GETTING 
HAMMERED BY THE 
PANDEMIC. 
THESE 
INVOLUNTARY 
CUTS, MAKE UP 
ABOUT 17% OF 
WHAT UNITED 
STAFFING LEVEL 
WAS AT THE END 
OF 2017. 
STILL THANKS TO 
EARLY BUYOUTS 
AND RETIREMENT 
PACKAGES, THAT 
NUMBER IS STILL 
FAR LOWER THAN 
THE 36,000 STAFF 
CUTS THEY WERE 
ANTICIPATED IN 
JULY. 
>>> REMEMBER THE 
A.L.S., ICE 
BUCKET CHALLENGE 
IN 2014? 
WELL, FUNDS FROM 
THAT POPULAR ICY 
TREND HELPED 
SUPPORT A STUDY 
THAT IS SHOWING 
PROMISE. 
THE RESULTS 
PUBLISHED IN THE 
NEW ENGLAND 
JOURNAL OF 
MEDICINE, SHOW 
THAT AN 
EXPERIMENTAL 
MEDICATION COULD 
SLOW THE 
PROGRESSION OF 
ALS, ALSO KNOWN 
AS LOU GEHRIG'S 
DISEASE. 
THE DISEASE 
ATTACKS THE 
NERVE CELLS IN 
THE BRAIN AND 
SPINAL CORD, 
MAKING IT HARDER 
FOR PATIENTS TO 
MOVE, SPEAK, EAT 
OR EVEN BREATHE. 
THE TRIAL WILL 
MOVE TO PHASE 3. 
THEY WILL ASK 
THE FDA TO 
APPROVE THE 
DRUG, BASED ON 
RESULTS SOFAR. 
>> AND FINALLY, 
A MYSTERY 
HOVERING OVER 
LOS ANGELES. 
AN INVESTIGATION 
IS UNDER WAY, 
AFTER A MAN FLEW 
HIGH ABOVE THE 
CITY SUNDAY. 
TWO PILOTS ON 
TWO DIFFERENT 
NIGHTS REPORTED 
SEEING THE MAN 
IN A JET PACK. 
THOUSANDS OF 
FEET IN THE AIR. 
TAKE A LISTEN TO 
ONE OF THE 
PILOTS REPORTING 
IT. 
>> PERSON WITH A 
JETPACK 
REPORTED, 300 
YARDS, AT ABOUT 
3,000 FEET. 
10-MILE FINAL. 
>> WE'RE 
HURTING. 
>> ONLY IN L.A. 
>> ONLY IN L.A. 
NOW, OBVIOUSLY 
THAT HAS THE 
POTENTIAL TO BE 
DANGEROUS. 
THANKFULLY, NO 
ONE WAS HURT. 
BUT SAVANNAH, 
WHEN YOU'RE 
TAKING YOUR 
JETPACK OUT THIS 
WEEKEND, STAY 
CLEAR OF THE 
AIRPORTS. 
ALL RIGHT? 
>> THAT IS A 
CRAZY STORY. 
AND I GOTTA SAY, 
HEARING THAT THE 
ICE BUCKET 
CHALLENGE REALLY 
DID DO SOME GOOD 
IN TERMS OF 
RESEARCH AND 
FUNDING FOR 
A.L.S. 
THAT'S GOT TO 
MAKE YOU SMILE. 
HOW NEAT IS 
THAT? 
THANKS, JOE. 
>> YEAH. 
>>> PRESIDENT 
TRUMP SPENT THE 
DAY IN ANOTHER 
BATTLEGROUND 
STATE TODAY. 
SPEAKING IN 
WILMINGTON, 
NORTH CAROLINA 
AND DESIGNATING 
IT AS A WORLD 
WAR II HERITAGE 
CITY. 
NBC NEWS 
CORRESPONDENT 
KELLY O'DONNELL 
JOINS ME NOW. 
KELLY, TELL US 
MORE ABOUT THIS 
VISIT TODAY. 
>> WELL, WHAT 
MAKES IT 
INTERESTING, 
SAVANNAH, THIS 
IS AN OFFICIAL 
VISIT. 
THIS IS THE WORK 
OF THE 
PRESIDENCY. 
AND THAT'S AN 
ADVANTAGE FOR 
CANDIDATE TRUMP. 
BECAUSE HE CAN 
VISIT A PLACE 
LIKE NORTH 
CAROLINA, AN 
ABSOLUTE 
BATTLEGROUND IN 
2020. 
HE NARROWLY WON 
IN 2016. 
AND BY BESTOWING 
THIS HONOR OF 
CALLING IT A 
HERITAGE CITY, 
BASED ON THE 
75th ANNIVERSARY 
OF WORLD WAR II 
AND VISITING THE 
BATTLESHIP 
THERE, AND BEING 
SURROUNDED BY 
VETERANS AND 
HONORING THEM, 
LOTS OF 
POSITIVE, LOCAL 
COVERAGE LIKELY 
TO BE GENERATED 
BY THAT. 
A FEEL-GOOD 
STORY FOR 
WILMINGTON AND 
FOR NORTH 
CAROLINA. 
THEN IT HAS THE 
SECONDARY 
BENEFIT OF BEING 
GOOD FOR THE 
PRESIDENT'S 
CAMPAIGN. 
EVEN THOUGH THIS 
WAS NOT 
OFFICIALLY A 
CAMPAIGN EVENT. 
THE PRESIDENT, 
OF COURSE, USED 
HIS TIME, AS HE 
OFTEN DOES, 
MERGING, 
BLURRING THE 
LINE BETWEEN 
OFFICIAL 
BUSINESS AND 
CANDIDATE 
BUSINESS. 
AND HE TALKED A 
LITTLE BIT ON 
THE AIRPORT 
TARMAC TO AN 
ASSEMBLED CROWD 
THERE THAT WAS 
WAITING TO SEE 
AIR FORCE ONE 
ARRIVE. 
TOOK SOME HITS. 
AND JOE BIDEN, 
HIS DEMOCRATIC 
RIVAL, DID SO IN 
THE OFFICIAL 
SPEECH AS WELL. 
SO IT HAS THE 
BENEFITS FOR THE 
PRESIDENT, OF 
DOING ALL OF 
THOSE THINGS AT 
ONE TIME. 
AND ONE OF THE 
THINGS IN THE 
LATE PHASES OF 
THE CAMPAIGN. 
WHAT PEOPLE WHO 
ARE LIVING IN A 
BATTLEGROUND 
STATE LIKE NORTH 
CAROLINA SEE AND 
HEAR AND READ IN 
THEIR LOCAL 
MEDIA, CAN BE 
VERY INFLUENTIAL 
IN HELPING MAKE 
THEIR DECISIONS. 
AND STIRRING 
THEM TO GET OUT 
TO VOTE. 
THAT'S WHY SOME 
OF THOSE EVENTS 
THAT MIGHT NOT 
SEEM AS 
NATIONALLY 
IMPORTANT CAN BE 
VERY SIGNIFICANT 
FOR A CAMPAIGN 
ON THE GROUND. 
SAVANNAH? 
>> YEAH, KELLY. 
YOU SAID IT, 
USING SOME OF 
THIS TIME FOR 
THAT CAMPAIGN 
TYPE OF ROLL. 
WE'VE GOT A NEW 
POLL OUT TODAY. 
A QUINNIPIAC 
POLL. 
JOE BIDEN LEADS 
PRESIDENT TRUMP 
BY 10 POINT 
NATIONALLY. 
HE WAS MEETING 
VOTERS IN NORTH 
CAROLINA. 
WHAT WAS HIS 
PITCH THERE 
TODAY? 
>> IN PART, HE 
IS AGAIN TRYING 
TO CARRY WITH 
HIM THIS LAW AND 
ORDER MESSAGE, 
THAT IS 
SOMETHING THAT 
IS A REAL 
DIVIDING LINE 
BETWEEN THE 
PRESIDENT'S 
CAMPAIGN AND JOE 
BIDEN'S 
CAMPAIGN. 
AND BY THAT, I 
MEAN, JOE BIDEN 
IS TALKING ABOUT 
SOCIAL JUSTICE, 
SAFETY AND 
SECURITY, 
TALKING ABOUT 
REACHING OUT TO 
THE FAMILIES OF 
AFRICAN AMERICAN 
MEN WHO HAVE 
BEEN WOUNDED OR 
KILLED BY POLICE 
VIOLENCE OR 
POLICE-INVOLVED 
SHOOTINGS. 
THE PRESIDENT 
LOOKING AT THE 
PROTESTS, AND 
SOME OF THE 
DESTRUCTION AND 
LOOTING AND 
FIRES THAT HAVE 
TAKEN PLACE IN 
VARIOUS CITIES. 
AND SAYING THAT 
THAT IS A DANGER 
AND THREAT TO 
ALL AMERICANS, 
IF THAT DOESN'T 
GET UNDER 
CONTROL. 
DIFFERENT 
VISIONS ABOUT 
SOME OF THE SAME 
ISSUES, WHEN IT 
COMES TO ISSUES 
LIKE RACE, 
POLICING, AND 
SECURITY. 
AND SO THE 
PRESIDENT USING 
THAT, WORKING 
THAT INTO HIS 
REMARKS TODAY, 
THAT WE'RE 
AGAIN, ABOUT THE 
WORLD WAR II 
COMMEMORATIONS. 
BUT ALSO 
TOUCHING ON HIS 
CONCERNS ABOUT 
SAFETY AND 
SECURITY. 
AND CRITICIZING 
JOE BIDEN WITH 
THE KIND OF 
VEILED SWIPE 
OVER HIS AGE. 
BIDEN WOULD BE 
78 YEARS OLD BY 
THE TIME HE 
TAKES OFFICE IF 
HE WINS IN 
NOVEMBER. 
THE PRESIDENT 
USING THAT WORLD 
WAR II VETERANS 
WERE WELL INTO 
THEIR 90s, 
SAYING, 78 IS 
NOT TOO OLD IN A 
WAY OF POKING 
JOE BIDEN ABOUT 
HIS AGE. 
THAT'S SOME OF 
WHAT WE SAW 
TODAY PLAYING 
OUT. 
SAVANNAH? 
>> NOW, PERHAPS 
IN ANOTHER SHOW 
OF SIGNIFICANCE 
IN NORTH 
CAROLINA AS A 
BATTLEGROUND 
STATE. 
WE ARE EXPECTING 
OTHER MEMBERS OF 
THE TRUMP TEAM 
TO HEAD TO NORTH 
CAROLINA AHEAD 
OF THE ELECTION. 
TELL US ABOUT 
THAT? 
>> THERE WILL BE 
SO MANY VISITS 
THERE, YES. 
MIKE PENCE HAS 
THAT ON HIS 
SCHEDULE. 
THE PRESIDENCY 
PRESIDENT WAS IN 
NORTH CAROLINA 
NOT LONG AGO. 
THAT, OF COURSE 
WAS THE INTENDED 
HOME OF HIS RNC 
CONVENTION THAT 
CHANGED BECAUSE 
OF COVID 
RESTRICTIONS. 
AND HE ALSO 
POINTED OUT THAT 
HIS DAUGHTER-IN-
LAW, LAURA 
TRUMP, IS FROM 
NORTH CAROLINA. 
AND SHE AND HIS 
SON ERIC TRUMP 
NAMED THEIR 
DAUGHTER 
CAROLINA FOR. 
THAT 
WE'RE TALKING 
NORTH CAROLINA, 
WISCONSIN, 
MICHIGAN AND 
ARIZONA AND 
PENNSYLVANIA. 
FLORIDA, OF 
COURSE. 
KEY 
BATTLEGROUNDS 
THAT ARE UP FOR 
GRABS. 
AND DEPENDING 
HOW YOU DO THE 
ELECTORAL MAP 
COULD BE THE 
WINNING MARGIN 
FOR EITHER JOE 
BIDEN OR THE 
PRESIDENT. 
YOU'LL HAVE 
THOSE DATELINES 
REPEATED AGAIN 
AND AGAIN OVER 
THESE NEXT 60 
DAYS. 
THERE WILL BE A 
LOT OF MIDWEST 
TRAVEL. 
AND A COUPLE OF 
STOPS. 
BUT NORTH 
CAROLINA, 
PROMINENT AMONG 
THOSE STATES 
THAT THEY'RE 
FIGHTING FOR. 
SAVANNAH. 
>> LET'S PUSH 
OVER TO DEBATES. 
WE FOUND OUT WHO 
IS MODERATING 
THIS 
PRESIDENTIAL 
DEBATE. 
AND THE THIRD 
ONE IN NASHVILLE 
WILL BE 
MODERATED BY OUR 
OWN KRISTEN 
WELKER. 
WHAT'S THE TRUMP 
CAMPAIGN SAYING 
ABOUT THESE 
NAMES? 
>> WELL, THEY 
HAVE RESPONDED 
AND POINT OUT 
THAT THEY DIDN'T 
GET A SAY IN WHO 
WAS SELECTED TO 
MODERATE THE 
DEBATE. 
IT'S DONE BY A 
COMMISSION ON 
PRESIDENTIAL 
DEBATE. 
THAT IS 
TRADITION. 
IT'S A GROUP 
THAT HAS BEEN IN 
CHARGE OF THESE 
DEBATES FOR MANY 
YEARS. 
AND THEY FOLLOW 
THEIR OWN 
PROCESS TO TRY 
TO SELECT 
MODERATORS WHO 
WILL DO THE 
THREE 
PRESIDENTIAL 
DEBATES, 
INCLUDING ONE 
TOWN HALL 
FORMAT, AND ONE 
FOR THE VICE 
PRESIDENTIAL 
VICE 
PRESIDENTIAL 
DEBATE. 
AND THAT'S SUSAN 
PAGE. 
AND SOME SAY, 
THEY DON'T THINK 
THE MODERATOR IS 
GOING TO BE 
ENTIRELY NAIR TO 
THE PRESIDENT 
BUT THEY ARGUED 
THAT CHRIS WALL 
AS, WHO IS, OF 
COURSE, 
ASSOCIATED WITH 
FOX NEWS, WOULD 
PUT JOE BIDEN 
INTO SOME OF THE 
DIRECT QUESTIONS 
THE PRESIDENT 
HAD TO FACE. 
SO IT'S ONE OF 
THOSE CAMPAIGN 
RESPONSES WHERE 
THEY DON'T WANT 
TO WORK THE REFS 
NECESSARILY 
EARLY. 
BUT THEY DON'T 
WANT TO SUGGEST 
THAT THEY ARE 
PHIL 
THRILLED WITH 
THESE CHOICES. 
I THINK 
JOURNALISTICALLY, 
MANY VIEW HAS 
THESE AS SOLID 
CHOICES. 
NOT JUST 
EXPERIENCE DOING 
THE DEBATE. 
BUT EXPERIENCE 
COVERING THIS 
PRESIDENT AS 
WELL AS 
CANDIDATE BIDEN 
AS WELL AS HIS 
TIME BEFORE IN 
THE OBAMA 
ADMINISTRATION, 
AS BEING PEOPLE 
WHO WILL 
REPRESENT THE 
INTEREST OF THE 
PUBLIC AND DO 
THE JOURNALISTIC 
WORK NEEDED TO 
TRY TO MAKE THE 
DEBATE USEFUL TO 
AMERICAN VOTERS. 
AND THAT'S 
REALLY THE WHOLE 
POINT, TO GET A 
FACE-OFF BETWEEN 
THE CANDIDATES 
THAT WILL ELICIT 
INFORMATION THAT 
HELPS PEOPLE 
MAKE THEIR 
DECISION. 
SAVANNAH? 
>> ABSOLUTELY 
SOMETHING I'M 
SURE MANY OF OUR 
VIEWERS ARE 
LOOKING FORWARD 
TO SEEING. 
KELLY, THANK YOU 
SO MUCH. 
>> GOOD TO BE 
WITH YOU. 
>> DEMOCRATIC 
PRESIDENTIAL 
NOMINEE, JOE 
BIDEN, WILL 
TRAVEL TO 
KENOSHA, 
WISCONSIN 
TOMORROW, WHERE 
HE WILL MEET 
WITH JACOB 
BLAKE'S FAMILY. 
NBC NEWS 
CORRESPONDENT 
EMIKE MEMOLI IS 
FOLLOWING THE 
BIDEN CAMPAIGN 
IN WILMINGTON, 
DELAWARE. 
>> JOE BIDEN 
SPEAKING IN 
WILMINGTON, 
DELAWARE, ABOUT 
WHAT HE SAYS IS 
A NATIONAL 
EMERGENCY. 
BRINGING 
CHILDREN BACK 
INTO THE 
CLASSROOM AND 
DOING SO SAFELY. 
AFTER A BRIEFING 
WITH HIS WIFE, 
DR. JILL BIDEN, 
A LONG-TIME 
EDUCATOR, WITH 
SOME MEDICAL. 
SAYING THAT FEMA 
SHOULD REOPEN 
DISTRICTS AND 
COUNTIES TO HELP 
PROVIDE SAFETY 
PROTOCOLS FOR 
THE CLASSROOM. 
PROVIDING MENTAL 
AND EMOTIONAL 
HEALTHCARE THAT 
HAS AFFECTED 
LIFE AS STUDENTS 
ADJUST TO THIS 
NEW REALITY. 
AND TO PROVIDE 
REMOTE LEARNING 
THAT IS A BIG 
ISSUE FOR MANY 
AMERICANS WHO 
MAY NOT HAVE THE 
TECHNICAL 
RESOURCES TO DO 
REMOTE LEARNING. 
THAT CAME AS 
THEY ANNOUNCED 
THAT HE WOULD BE 
TRAVELING TO 
KENOSHA, 
WISCONSIN. 
AN INTERESTING 
DEVELOPMENT, 
GIVEN WHAT WE 
SAW WAS THE 
RECEPTION 
PRESIDENT TRUMP 
GOT FROM LOCAL 
DEMOCRATIC 
OFFICIALS, 
DISCOURAGING 
THEM FROM 
TRAVELING THERE 
JUST YESTERDAY. 
THE BIDEN 
CAMPAIGN SAYING 
THAT THE FORMER 
VICE PRESIDENT, 
JOINED BY HIS 
WIFE, WILL 
ENGAGE IN WHAT 
THEY'RE CALL 
BEING A 
COMMUNITY 
CONVERSATION. 
VICE PRESIDENT 
BIDEN TELLING ME 
THAT HE HAS BEEN 
INVITED BY LOCAL 
OFFICIALS, HEARD 
FROM FAMILY 
MEMBERS OF JACOB 
BLAKE, THE 
VICTIMS OF THAT 
SHOOTING, AND 
THINKS HE CAN 
BRING SOMETHING 
TO THE TABLE TO 
HELP THIS 
COMMUNITY HEAL. 
THIS JUST A DAY 
AFTER PRESIDENT 
TRUMP WAS 
ACCUSED OF A 
PHOTO OP, SIMPLY 
BY MEETING WITH 
LAW ENFORCEMENT 
AND FOCUSING ON 
THE VIOLENCE IN 
THAT CITY, 
RATHER THAN 
MEETING WITH 
JACOB BLAKE OR 
HIS FAMILY. 
WE'RE ALSO 
SEEING THIS 
MESSAGE OF LAW 
AND ORDER, THE 
DEBATE THAT 
PRESIDENT TRUMP 
HAS WANTED TO 
MAKE THIS DEBATE 
ABOUT, ONTO THE 
AIRWAYS OF THE 
BIDEN CAMPAIGN, 
ANNOUNCING A $45 
MILLION NEW 
SPENDING ON TV 
AND ONLINE. 
FOCUSED ON THAT 
MESSAGE HE 
DELIVERED IN 
PITTSBURGH 
MONDAY. 
DENOUNCING 
VIOLENCE IN ALL 
ITS FORMS, 
SAYING THAT 
LOOTING, RIOTING 
DOESN'T BRING 
ABOUT THE CHANGE 
THAT IS REQUIRED 
IN THIS 
SITUATION, AND 
BLAMING 
PRESIDENT TRUMP 
FOR POURING 
GASOLINE ON THE 
FLAME. 
THE BIDEN 
CAMPAIGN 
ANNOUNCED TODAY 
ANOTHER MASSIVE 
FUNDRAISING HAUL 
FROM THE MONTH 
OF AUGUST. 
BIDEN CAMPAIGN 
SAYING THEY 
RAISED $365 
MILLION IN 
AUGUST. 
NOW WHAT 
HAPPENED IN 
AUGUST. 
JOE BIDEN 
ANNOUNCED KAMALA 
HARRIS AS HIS 
RUNNING MATE. 
WE SAW THE DNC. 
THE FIRST 
CAMPAIGN. 
IN WHICH THE 
BIDEN CAMPAIGN 
WAS ABLE TO TELL 
HIS STORY. 
WHAT AMERICA 
WOULD LOOK LIKE. 
AND THEN NOT TO 
BE DISCOUNTED. 
BUT THE 
REPUBLICAN 
CONVENTION AS 
WELL. 
SOMETHING THAT 
THE BIDEN 
CAMPAIGN TRIED 
TO PUSH THEIR 
GRASS ROOTS 
ONLINE 
SUPPORTERS TO 
PUSH IN REACTION 
TO. 
SO A SIGNIFICANT 
FUNDRAISINGHAUL 
THAT BIDEN SAYS 
HE'S GOING TO 
USE THAT MONEY 
TO TRY TO 
COUNTERACT THE 
LIES FROM WHAT 
WE CALLED 
PRESIDENT TRUMP 
AND HIS 
CAMPAIGN. 
AND LASTLY, THE 
OTHER BIG 
HEADLINE TODAY. 
THE PRESIDENTIAL 
DEBATE 
COMMISSION 
ANNOUNCING THE 
FORM AT AND 
MODERATORS FOR 
THOSE 
PRESIDENTIAL 
DEBATES THIS 
FALL. 
INCLUDING OUR 
OWN KRISTEN 
WELKER. 
SHE'LL BE 
BATTING CLEANUP. 
I ASKED THE 
FORMER VICE 
PRESIDENT IN HIS 
REMARKS HERE 
TODAY, IF HE HAD 
ANY SENSE, 
ANYTHING COULD 
DISSUADE HIM 
FROM 
PARTICIPATING IN 
ANY OF THOSE 
DEBATES? 
HE TOLD ME THAT 
WHAT HE WOULD 
LOVE TO SEE AS 
HE CAN'T WAIT TO 
DEBATE PRESIDENT 
TRUMP, HE SAID, 
IS SOMEBODY 
DOING SOME REAL-
TIME FACT-
CHECKING ON THE 
SCENE. 
NOT SURE THAT'S 
GOING TO HAPPEN. 
BUT BIDEN SAYING 
HE IS GETTING 
READY FOR THAT 
DEBATE. 
THE FIRST IN 
LESS THAN A 
MONTH, SAVANNAH. 
>>> MAKE SURE 
YOU KNOW HOW TO 
VOTE. 
IN THE 2020 
PRESIDENTIAL 
ELECTION. 
NBC NEWS IS HERE 
TO HELP. 
WE HAVE A NEW 
STATE-BY-STATE 
GUIDE, CALLED 
PLAN YOUR VOTE. 
IT HAS 
INFORMATION ON 
VOTING RULES, 
DEADLINES AND 
RESTRICTIONS BY 
STATE. 
CHECK IT OUT AT 
NBCNEWS.COM/PLANYOU 
>>> REACTION TO 
BIDEN'S UPCOMING 
VISIT TO 
KENOSHA, 
WISCONSIN, HAS 
BEEN MIXED. 
SOME PEOPLE ARE 
CONCERNED ABOUT 
THE RECENT 
POLITTIZATION OF 
THE CITY. 
SHAQUILLE 
BREWSTER IS 
THERE WITH MORE. 
>> Reporter: HI 
THERE, SAVANNAH. 
WELL, WE KNOW 
THAT VICE 
PRESIDENT BIDEN 
WILL BE MAKING A 
TRIP TO KENOSHA 
TOMORROW. 
AND THIS COMES, 
OF COURSE, AFTER 
WE SAW PRESIDENT 
TRUMP HERE IN 
KENOSHA 
YESTERDAY. 
AND TALKING TO 
PEOPLE, THEY 
REALLY HAVE A 
SENSE THAT 
THINGS ARE 
STARTING TO TURN 
THE CORNER HERE 
IN KENOSHA. 
SO MUCH SO THAT 
THE MAYOR JUST 
ANNOUNCED THAT 
THE CURFEW THAT 
WAS SUPPOSED TO 
BE EXTENDING 
THROUGH THE 
HOLIDAY WEEKEND, 
WILL BE LIFTED 
TONIGHT. 
I ALSO HAD A LOT 
OF CONVERSATIONS 
WITH PEOPLE 
ABOUT THE VICE 
PRESIDENT'S 
TRIP, OF COURSE, 
COMING ON THE 
HEELS OF 
PRESIDENT TRUMP. 
LIST TONE WHAT 
THEY TOLD ME. 
>> VICE 
PRESIDENT BIDEN 
WILL BE HERE 
TOMORROW. 
>> HE'S AN 
IDIOT. 
>> YOU'RE NOT 
HAPPY HE'S 
COMING? 
>> NO. 
DOES HE EVEN 
KNOW WHERE HE 
IS? 
>> I THINK HE 
WILL HAVE 
EMPATHY. 
AND THE OLIVE 
BRANCH TRIES TO 
EXPAND. 
I DID NOT FEEL 
THAT WAS THE 
REASON FOR 
PRESIDENT 
TRUMP'S VISIT 
YESTERDAY. 
BUT I HAVE GREAT 
HOPES. 
>> NOW, MUCH OF 
THAT DEPENDS ON 
WHERE YOU SIT ON 
THIS POLITICAL 
SPECTRUM. 
IF YOU ARE 
EXCITED ABOUT 
VICE PRESIDENT 
BIDEN, THEN 
YOU'RE GOING TO 
BE EXCITED FOR 
HIS TRIP 
TOMORROW. 
IF YOU LIKE 
PRESIDENT TRUMP, 
THEN YOU WERE 
GLAD HE WAS IN 
TOWN YESTERDAY. 
BUT YOU'RE NOT 
ALL THAT EXCITED 
TO HEAR FROM THE 
VICE PRESIDENT 
TOMORROW. 
WE ALSO GOT AN 
UPDATE IN THE 
LATEST IN THE 
INVESTIGATION 
INTO THE JACOB 
BLAKE SHOOTING. 
THE STATE 
ATTORNEY 
GENERAL, 
RELEASING SOME 
NEW NUMBERS, 
TELLING US THEY 
CONDUCTED OVER 
88 INTERVIEWS 
WITH WITNESSES. 
THEY HAVE 
DEDICATED OVER 
600 HOURS, 
WORKING ON THIS 
CASE, 
DOWNLOADING 28 
VIDEOS AND 
EXECUTING FOUR 
DIFFERENT SEARCH 
WARRANTS, STATES 
SAYING THEY 
WOULD HOPE TO 
HAVE AN ANSWER, 
HOPE TO HAVE 
SOME NEW 
INFORMATION 
WITHIN THAT 30-
DAY TIME LINE 
FROM THAT 
SHOOTING. 
AND THEY ALSO 
KNOW THE LATEST 
MR. BLAKE FROM 
THE HOSPITAL. 
HIS FAMILY 
SAYING HE'S 
STILL HEAVILY 
DEBATED, STILL 
GETTING HIS 
VIBRANCY BACK. 
THEY'RE HOPING 
AND ASKING FOR 
THE PRAYERS OF 
NOT ONLY PEOPLE 
HERE IN KENOSHA. 
BUT ALL ACROSS 
THE COUNTRY. 
>>> 5 1/2 MONTHS 
AFTER POLICE 
SHOT AND KILLED 
BREONNA TAYLOR, 
DURING A NO-
KNOCK WARRANT AT 
HER HOME. 
HER FAMILY IS 
STILL PLEADING 
FOR CRIMINAL 
CHARGES AGAINST 
THE POLICE 
OFFICER AGAINST 
HER. 
BUT WE ARE 
LEARNING HOW 
PROSECUTORS 
INCLUDED 
BREONNA'S NAME 
IN HER EX-
BOYFRIEND'S PLEA 
DEAL THIS 
SUMMER. 
THE ATTORNEY FOR 
JIM MARCUS 
GLOVER, HER EX, 
SAID HE WAS 
OFFERED A DEAL, 
IF HE WAS 
WILLING TO 
IMPLICATE HER IN 
A, QUOTE, 
SYNDICATED 
CRIME. 
DANNY, THIS IS A 
LOT TO BREAK 
DOWN. 
WALK US THROUGH 
THIS. 
THE LAWYER ALSO 
SAID IMPLICATING 
BREONNA WAS PART 
OF THE INITIAL 
PLEA DEAL. 
BUT HER NAME 
WASN'T PART OF 
LATER DRAFTS. 
CAN YOU EXPLAIN 
HOW THIS ALL 
WORK. 
>> AND WHY 
DIDN'T THEY WANT 
BREONNA TAYLOR 
ON THE LIST 
AFTER SHE HAD 
BEEN KILLED BY 
POLICE? 
>> IT'S TRUE 
THIS IS A TACTIC 
PROSECUTORS WILL 
SOMETIMES USE TO 
AVOID CIVIL 
LIABILITY ON THE 
LAWSUIT LATER. 
IF THEY HAVE A 
SITUATION WHERE 
SMFS WAS WRONGLY 
ARRESTED OR 
KILLED BY 
POLICE, THEY 
WILL DO ANYTHING 
THEY CAN TO GET 
SOMETHING ON THE 
RECORD FROM A 
DEFENDANT OR 
SOME WITNESS 
LIKE THIS TO SAY 
THAT OH, THERE 
IS SOME EVIDENCE 
OF CRIMINALITY. 
BECAUSE ANY 
EVIDENCE OF 
CRIMINALITY GETS 
POLICE ONE STEP 
CLOSER TO 
POTENTIAL 
IMMUNITY TO 
CIVIL LAWSUIT. 
AND THAT IS 
SOMETHING THAT 
HAPPENS FAIRLY 
OFTEN. 
HAVING 
DEFENDANTS PLEAD 
TO A LESSER 
CHARGE, WHEN THE 
PROSECUTION 
PROBABLY 
SHOULDN'T HAVE 
BROUGHT THE CASE 
IN THE FIRST 
PLACE. 
>> NOW, DANNY, 
HOW COMMON IS IT 
FOR A PLEA DEAL 
TO HAVE A 
CONDITION LIKE 
THIS? 
AND WHAT SORT OF 
PRESSURE DOES IT 
PUT ON A 
DEFENDANT? 
>> SOMETIMES 
PLEA DEALS DO 
INCLUDE A 
COOPERATION 
AGREEMENT. 
IN OTHER WORDS, 
THE DEFENDANT IS 
AGREEING TO 
SNITCH ON HIS 
FRIENDS OR 
COCONSPIRATORS 
OR WHATEVER THE 
CASE MAY BE. 
PROSECUTORS WILL 
SAY THEY HAVE TO 
TELL THE TRUTH, 
THE WHOLE TRUTH, 
AND NOTHING BUT 
THE TRUTH THE. 
BUT THERE ARE 
OFTEN CONDITIONS 
ON PLEA DEALS. 
THIS IS SLIGHTLY 
UNUSUAL. 
BECAUSE YOU'RE 
NOT USUALLY 
IMPLICATING 
SOMEONE WHO IS 
ALREADY DEAD. 
BECAUSE DEAD 
PEOPLE CANNOT BE 
PROSECUTED. 
IN THIS CASE, IF 
THAT'S WHAT 
POLICE ARE 
DOING, IF THAT'S 
WHAT PROSECUTORS 
ARE DOING, IT 
SEEMS LIKE IT 
WOULD BE PRETTY 
OBVIOUSLY TO 
AVOID THE CIVIL 
LIABILITY, BY 
PAINTING TAYLOR 
AS INVOLVED IN 
SOME 
CRIMINALITY, AND 
GETTING SOMEONE 
ON THE RECORD, 
SAYING THAT SHE 
WAS. 
>> NOW, LET'S 
TALK ABOUT 
KENNETH WALKER'S 
CIVIL CASE. 
HE'S SUING THE 
CITY. 
AND THE KILLING 
OF BREONNA 
TAYLOR. 
TELL US ABOUT 
THAT. 
>> IT'S REALLY 
AN INTERESTING 
CASE. 
IT'S A 
TRADITIONAL 
ASSAULT AND 
BATTERY CASE ON 
THE ONE HAND. 
EVEN THOUGH HE 
WASN'T AS 
GRIEVOUSLY 
WOUNDED, 
MORTALLY WOUNDED 
LIKE HIS 
GIRLFRIEND. 
KENNETH WALKER 
WAS THE SUBJECT 
OF THAT KNOCK 
AND ANNOUNCE 
WARRANT. 
HE SAID THERE 
WAS NO 
ANNOUNCEMENT. 
BUT ALSO HE'S 
BRING DECLAR 
TORY JUDGMENT. 
HE IS SAYING 
KENNETH WALKER 
WAS COVERED BY 
STAND YOUR 
GROUND. 
THAT MEANS HE'S 
IMMUNE FROM 
PROSECUTION. 
EVEN THOUGH THE 
PROSECUTOR 
HASDISMISSED THE 
CASE FOR NOW. 
HE'S DISMISSED 
IT WITHOUT 
PREJUDICE. 
THAT MEANS THEY 
COULD BRING IT 
THEORETICALLY 
AGAIN, IF THE 
CASE DETERMINES 
SOME LEVEL OF 
CRIMINALITY. 
KEVIN WALKER IS 
NOT JUST LOOKING 
FOR MONEY BUT 
UNEQUIVOCALLY, 
HE HAS IMMUNITY 
FROM PROSECUTION 
BECAUSE OF 
KENTUCKY'S STAND-
YOUR-GROUND LAW. 
>> WE GOT TO 
HEAR FROM HIM 
YESTERDAY. 
LET'S TAKE A 
LISTEN. 
>> ALL OF A 
SUDDEN, SOMEONE 
STARTED BEATING 
ON THE DOOR. 
THEY REFUSED TO 
ANSWER WHEN WE 
YELLED "WHO IS 
IT?" 
15 MINUTES 
LATER, BREONNA 
WAS DEAD FROM A 
HAIL OF POLICE 
GUNFIRE AND I 
WAS IN POLICE 
CUSTODY. 
THE POLICE 
ARRESTED AND 
CHARGED ME WITH 
MURDER OF A 
POLICE OFFICER. 
I WAS RAISED BY 
A GOOD FAMILY, 
AND I WOULD 
NEVER KNOWINGLY 
SHOOT A POLICE 
OFFICER. 
BREONNA AND I 
DID NOT KNOW WHO 
WAS BANGING ON 
THE DOOR. 
BUT THE POLICE 
KNOW WHAT THEY 
DID. 
>> DANNY, YOU 
JUST BROKE THIS 
DOWN A LITTLE 
BIT FOR US. 
LET'S TALK ABOUT 
THE CASE HE'S 
MAKING. 
>> YOU HEAR 
KENNETH WALKER 
SAYING, THE 
POLICE KNOW WHAT 
THEY DID. 
HE IN HIS CIVIL 
CASE, HE HAS TO 
DEMONSTRATE THAT 
THE POLICE KNEW 
THEY WERE DOING 
SOMETHING WRONG. 
NOTE JUST THAT 
THEY MADE A 
MISTAKE. 
BECAUSE IF THEY 
MADE IT IN GOOD 
FAITH, HE HAS TO 
SHOW SOMETHING 
DELIBERATE AND 
THAT THEY KNEW 
IT WAS WRONG 
WHEN THEY DID 
IT. 
IT'S A VERY, 
VERY HIGH BAR TO 
HOLD POLICE 
RESPONSIBLE. 
MUCH HIGHER THAN 
HOLDING THE 
PUBLIC 
RESPONSIBLE WHEN 
THEY DO 
SOMETHING WRONG 
AND INJURE 
SOMETHING. 
AND THAT IS 
CLEARLY THE 
MISSION HERE. 
YOU CAN HEAR IT 
IN KENNETH 
WALKER. 
HE KNOWS, I'M 
SURE, IT'S A 
HIGH BAR TO 
CLEAR. 
AND HE AND HIS 
LAWYERS ARE 
GOING TO TRY TO 
MAKE THAT. 
>>> DANIEL 
CAMERON IS 
OVERSEEING THE 
BREONNA TAYLOR 
CASE. 
HE SPOKE OVER 
THE WEEKEND. 
LET'S NOW LISTEN 
TO THAT. 
>> WE ARE 
LOOKING UNDER 
EVERY STONE, 
LEAVING NO STONE 
UNTURNED AS IT 
RELATES TO THIS 
INVESTIGATION. 
AGAIN, A 
THOROUGH AND 
FAIR 
INVESTIGATION IS 
DESERVED BY ALL. 
WE ALSO HAVE THE 
STRENGTH OF THE 
RELATIONSHIPS 
WITH THE FBI TO 
RECEIVE THIS 
BALLISTICS 
REPORT AND 
INFORMATION THAT 
CAN BE CRITICAL 
TO OUR ANALYSIS. 
>> SO WHAT 
EXACTLY COULD 
THAT BALLISTICS 
REPORT REVEAL? 
>> THE 
BALLISTICS ARE 
KEY IN THIS 
CASE. 
WALKER'S TEAM 
HAD INDICATED 
THAT HIS BULLET, 
THE ONE THAT HE 
FIRED, DOESN'T 
HAVE ANY 
EVIDENCE OF 
BLOOD ON T. 
THAT'S PRETTY 
IMPORTANT. 
BECAUSE IF THE 
POLICE ARE 
ALLEGING THAT 
SERGEANT 
MATTINGLY WAS 
ACTUALLY HIT BY 
WALKER'S BULLET, 
THAT STRENGTHENS 
THEIR CASE FOR 
USE OF FORCE. 
BUT BE ADVISED. 
POLICE DON'T 
HAVE TO BE HIT 
WITH A BULLET IN 
ORDER TO USE 
DEADLY FORCE. 
IN A CASE WHERE 
A DEFENDANT IS 
SHOOTING INTO 
THE AIR, THAT 
COULD POSSIBLY 
CREATE A 
REASONABLE FEAR 
OF DEADLY FORCE 
BY THE POLICE, 
WARRANTING THEIR 
OWN DEADLY 
FORCE. 
BUT IF IT'S THE 
CASE, IF IT 
COMES OUT THAT 
THE POLICE WERE 
WRONG ABOUT THE 
BULLETS, 
STRIKING 
SERGEANT 
MATTINGLY. 
IF IT TURNS OUT 
THE POLICE MAY 
HAVE EVEN SHOT 
SERGEANT 
MATTINGLY 
ACCIDENTALLY IN 
A FIRE 
SITUATION. 
THEN BOTH 
LEGALLY AND 
TERMS OF PUBLIC 
IMAGE OF THE 
CASE, IT WILL 
NOT LOOK GOOD 
FOR THE POLICE. 
>> ALL RIGHT, 
DANNY. 
THANK YOU FOR 
BREAKING THAT 
DOWN. 
COMPLICATED 
THERE. 
AND THANK YOU 
FOR HELPING US 
OUT. 
>> THANK YOU. 
S WE'VE GOT

KIDS WHO SADLY 
ARE MORE 
VULNERABLE TO

>>> THE 
CORONAVIRUS 
OUTBREAK AT THE 
UNIVERSITY OF 
ALABAMA IS 
EXPLODING, OVER 
1200 CASES 
REPORTED SINCE 
THIS STARTED. 
NBC NEWS 
CORRESPONDENT, 
ELLISON BARBER 
JOINS ME NOW 
FROM TUSCALOOSA 
ALABAMA. 
I KNOW CLASSES 
ONLY STARTED A 
COMCOUPLE OF 
WEEKS AGO. 
AND 1200 CASES. 
>> YEAH. 
IT'S 1200 CASES 
AMONG THE 
STUDENTS AT 
UNIVERSITY OF 
ALABAMA. 
THE CRAZY THING 
IS, 87% OF THOSE 
CASES CAME IN A 
SPAN OF JUST 
EIGHT DAYS. 
SCHOOL OFFICIALS 
WILL SAY, WHEN 
YOU LOOK AT THE 
TOTAL NUMBER OF 
THE STUDENT BODY 
POPULATION HERE, 
THIS IS A HUGE 
SCHOOL, THEY 
HAVE OVER30,000 
STUDENTS HERE. 
THAT IT'S A 
RELATIVELY SMALL 
PERCENTAGE. 
BUT THEN YOU 
LOOK AT THE RATE 
OF HOW QUICKLY 
THESE NUMBERS 
HAVE COME. 
I TALKED TO ONE 
PROFESSOR JUST 
YESTERDAY, WHO 
SAID 
THEORETICALLY, 
AT THE RATE 
THEY'RE GOING 
RIGHT NOW, YOU 
COULD HAVE A 
SITUATION IF 
THINGS DON'T 
CHANGE, WHERE 
ALMOST THE 
ENTIRE STUDENT 
BODY HAS BEEN 
IMPACTED OR 
INFECTED BY 
COVID-19. 
ONCE THE FALL 
SEMESTER COMES 
AROUND. 
A BIG CONCERN 
FOR A LOT OF 
PEOPLE RIGHT NOW 
IS THEY'RE 
WORRIED. 
THANKFULLY, NO 
STUDENT HAVE HAD 
TO BE 
HOSPITALIZED 
BECAUSE OF THIS. 
BUT THEY'RE 
WORRIED THAT 
OTHER PEOPLE IN 
THE COMMUNITY 
HERE IN 
TUSCALOOSA, 
ALABAMA, COULD 
BE IMPACTED BY 
THIS OUTBREAK, 
ESPECIALLY IF 
THE NUMBERS KEEP 
GOING IN THE 
DIRECTION THAT 
THEY'RE HEADED 
RIGHT NOW. 
SAVANNAH? 
>> Reporter: 
ELLISON, HOW ARE 
THE STUDENTS 
FEEL BEING THIS? 
HOW ARE THEY 
REACTING? 
ARE THEY SCARED? 
ARE THEY OKAY? 
OOMENTS 
IT'S GOOD TO 
HEAR THAT NONE 
OF THE STUDENTS 
ARE 
HOSPITALIZED. 
>> IT'S 
INTERESTING. 
THERE'S A BIG 
MIX OF REACTIONS 
HERE. 
ALMOST EVERYBODY 
WILL SAY THEY 
ARE CONCERNED BY 
NUMBERS. 
BUT SOME PEOPLE 
SAY, THEY REALLY 
SHOULDN'T BE 
HERE ON CAMPUS. 
THEY EITHER SAY 
THE SCHOOL 
SHOULD HAVE 
WAITED A LITTLE 
LONGER TO BRING 
STUDENTS BACK. 
OR THEY THINK 
THE NUMBERS SHOW 
IT HASN'T WORKED 
AND IT'S TIME 
FOR PEOPLE TO GO 
HOME. 
SOME ALSO SAY 
OTHER STUDENTS 
NEED TO BE DOING 
MORE WHEN THEY 
OUTSIDE OF THE 
CLASSROOMS TO 
PROTECT EACH 
OTHER. 
SOME SAY THEY 
ARE PHILLED TO 
BE 
-- THRILLED TO 
BE BACK AND THEY 
SEE THE SAFETY 
MEASURES, THE 
PLEXIGLAS IN 
CLASSROOMS AND 
STUDENTS WEAR 
MASK. 
AND THEY FEEL 
SAFE HERE AND 
WANT TO STAY. 
THERE'S A LITTLE 
MORE OF WHAT 
WE'VE HEARD FROM 
STUDENTS AS WE 
TRIED TO STOP 
THEM, WALKING 
THROUGH THE 
CAMPUS. 
>> I THINK THE 
UNIVERSITY HAD A 
WELL THOUGHT OUT 
PLAN. 
AND THEY'RE 
STILL WORKING ON 
IT EVERY DAY, 
WITH SITUATIONAL 
RESPONSE TEAM, 
AS WELL AS THE 
TASK FORCE, THAT 
PRESIDENTVAIL 
HAD. 
THEY LOOK THE 
NUMBERS AND MAKE 
SURE IT'S SAFE. 
>> I FEEL LIKE 
THEY'RE NOT 
BEING VERY 
TRANSPARENT WITH 
THE THOUGHT 
PROCESS BEHIND 
THE SCENES. 
THEY'RE THINKING 
ABOUT, YOU KNOW, 
COLLECTING THE 
TUITION. 
MAKING SURE ALL 
THE DORMS ARE, 
YOU KNOW, PAID 
FOR AND 
EVERYTHING. 
>> BRINGING US 
BACK ON CAMPUS. 
IT'S LIKE 
BEGGING FOR 
COVID TO, LIKE, 
COME HANG OUT. 
>> KIND OF A BIG 
QUESTION FOR 
STUDENTS, 
REGARDLESS OF 
WHICH SIDE THEY 
FALL IN, IN THE 
DISCUSSION HERE. 
WHETHER THEY 
FEEL LIKE THE 
SCHOOL IS DOING 
A GOOD JOB OR IF 
THEY FEEL LIKE 
IT'S TIME TO GO 
HOME. 
NO ONE REALLY 
KNOWS WHAT WILL 
HAPPEN NEXT. 
AND THAT'S SORT 
OF WHAT EVERYONE 
IS KIND OF 
WAITING TO SEE. 
THERE'S BEEN NO 
INDICATION FROM 
THE UNIVERSITY. 
IF THERE'S LIKE 
A CERTAIN 
NUMBER, WHERE 
THEY WOULD SAY, 
OKAY, IT'S TIME 
FOR US TO CHANGE 
COURSE. 
FOR NOW, THEY 
SAY THEY FEEL 
LIKE THEY'RE 
FLATTENING THE 
CURVE IN 
SOME AND MOVING 
IN THE RIGHT 
DIRECTION. 
BUT WHEN YOU 
LOOK AT THOSE 
NUMBERS, 
SAVANNAH, IT'S 
HARD TO SEE 
WHERE THAT'S 
HAPPENING SO 
FAR. 
>> ELLISON, I 
LIKE THE WAY 
THAT LAST 
STUDENT PUT IT, 
INVITING COVID 
TO JUST COME 
HANG OUT. 
I MEAN, IT IS 
CRAZY, THINKING 
ABOUT THEM ALL 
BEING ON CAMPUS 
TOGETHER. 
THAT'S ALSO THEN 
IMPACTING THE 
STAFF, FACULTY. 
WHAT DO 
EMPLOYEES THINK 
THERE? 
IT'S NOT JUST 
THE STUDENTS ON 
A UNIVERSITY 
CAMPUS? 
>> Reporter: SO 
WE HAVE TALKED 
TO A LOT OF 
FACULTY MEMBERS. 
AND ALSO 
STAFFERS, 
TEACHERS, 
TEACHING 
ASSISTANTS. 
AND WHAT WE'RE 
HEARING FROM A 
LOT OF THEM IS 
THEY FEEL LIKE 
THEY ARE BEING 
SILENCED OR 
INTIMIDATED INTO 
SILENCE BY THE 
UNIVERSITY WHEN 
THEY ARE TRYING 
TO SPEAK OUT 
ABOUT SOME 
CONCERNS THEY V. 
ONE TEACHER THAT 
WE TALKED TO 
THAT SAID, HE 
AND SOME OTHERS 
HAD GONE TO 
SUPERVISORS TO 
EXPRESS HOLDING 
THE CLASSES, 
EXPRESSING THEY 
FELT IT SHOULD 
MOVE TOWARD 
ZOOM. 
THEY TOLD ME 
THAT SUPERVISOR 
SORT OF 
PASSIVELY 
AGGRESSIVELY 
FORWARDED TO A 
PARENT OF AN OUT-
OF-STATE 
STUDENT, SAYING 
MY CHILD DIDN'T 
FLY ACROSS THE 
COUNTRY TO DO 
CLASSES VIA 
ZOOM. 
AND OBVIOUSLY, A 
NUMBER OF 
INTERNAL E-
MAILS. 
THEY SAY THEY 
HAVE BEEN 
THREATENED AND 
WARNED BY DEANS 
AT THIS SCHOOL 
TO NOT TALK 
ABOUT THE NUMBER 
OF COVID CASES 
IN THEIR 
CLASSES, EVEN IN 
GENERAL, 
NONDESCRIPT 
TERMS. 
AND THEY HAVE 
BEEN REALLY 
FRUSTRATED ABOUT 
THAT. 
ONE TEACHER WE 
SPOKE TO, HE 
SAID HE WAS 
SPEAKING OUT TO 
US BECAUSE HE 
FELT LIKE HE HAD 
TENURE. 
HE WAS IN 
POSITION TO 
SPEAK OUT AND 
NOT BE 
RETALIATED 
AGAINST. 
WHERE OTHERS, 
TEACHING 
ASSISTANTS FEEL 
LIKE THEY CAN'T 
DO THAT. 
HE SAID THAT 
THIS PLAN, WHILE 
IT MAY HAVE BEEN 
WELL-INTENTIONED 
TO BEGIN WITH, 
HAS NOT WORKED. 
AND HE BELIEVE 
ITS IS TIME FOR 
THE SCHOOL TO 
CLOSE. 
LISTEN HERE. 
>> AND I FEEL 
LIKE WE HAVE 
BEEN VERY 
TRANSPARENT, IN 
TERMS OF BEING 
OPEN AND 
RESPONSIVE TO 
QUESTIONS THAT 
HAVE COME 
FORWARD. 
AND WE HOPE THAT 
PEOPLE WILL 
CONTINUE TO 
UTILIZE THOSE 
AVENUES TO TALK 
TO US DIRECTLY. 
SO THAT WE CAN 
BE RESPONSIVE 
AND HELP TO 
BETTER 
UNDERSTAND OUR 
CIRCUMSTANCES AS 
WE SEE THINGS 
HAVE A BIG-
PICTURE 
PERSPECTIVE. 
>> I THINK THE 
BIGGEST CONCERN 
THAT I HAVE IS 
THAT ONCE IT 
STARTED BREAKING 
DOWN, THERE'S A 
REFUSAL BY 
ADMINISTRATORS 
TO ADMIT THAT 
IT'S NOT 
WORKING. 
I DON'T THINK 
THE COMMUNITY IS 
LOOKING FOR THE 
COMMUNITY'S BEST 
WELFARE, THE 
STUDENTS' BEST 
WELFARE NOW. 
IT'S ABOUT 
KEEPING IT OPEN 
NO MATTER. 
>> WHAT FIRST 
FOO PERSON YOU 
HEARD FROM THERE 
IS A VICE 
PRESIDENT HERE 
AT THE SCHOOL. 
AND HE WAS 
RESPONDING TO 
QUESTIONS ABOUT 
THOSE TEACHERS 
SAYING THAT THEY 
FELT LIKE THEY 
WERE INTIMIDATED 
AND NOT ABLE TO 
SPEAK OUT AND 
CRITICIZE SOME 
OF WHAT IS 
HAPPENING HERE 
ON CAMPUS. 
THE SECOND 
PERSON YOU HEARD 
FROM. 
THAT IS THE 
TENURED 
PROFESSOR. 
HE ALSO TOLD ME, 
INTERESTINGLY. 
HE TOLD US HE 
DIDN'T FEEL LIKE 
THE SCHOOL 
SHOULD JUST 
CLOSE AND SEND 
EVERYONE HOME. 
THAT WOULDN'T BE 
SAFE. 
HE SAID WHAT 
THEY SHOULD DO, 
IS THEY SHOULD 
DO A STAGGERED 
DEPARTURE. 
AND KEEP 
STUDENTS ON 
CAMPUS, WHO HAVE 
BEEN CONFIRMED 
TO HAVE COVID-19 
OR HAVE BEEN IN 
CLOSE CONTACT 
WITH SOMEONE 
ELSE WHO HAS IT. 
AND KEEP THEM 
HERE IN 
ISOLATION, UNTIL 
THEY NO LONGER 
HAVE IT AND ARE 
SAFE TO TRAVEL 
AT THE 
UNIVERSITY'S 
EXPENSE. 
FOR NOW, THOUGH, 
SAVANNAH, SEEMS 
LIKE THE 
UNIVERSITY HAS 
NO PLANS TO 
CHANGE COURSE OR 
CANCEL CLASSES 
OR SEND ANY 
STUDENTS HOME. 
SAVANNAH? 
>> ALL RIGHT, 
ELLISON. 
JUST THE ONGOING 
BACK-AND-FORTH 
OF WHAT TO DO 
ABOUT SCHOOLS.

ANGELES. 
>>> THE NATION'S 
LARGEST RETAILER 
IS MAKING A BIG 
PUSH IN THE 
DELIVERY SPACE. 
WALMART IS 
LOOKING TO 
COMPETE WITH 
AMAZON BY 
LAUNCHING A 
SERVICE SIMILAR 
TO PRIME. 
NBC NEWS 
CORRESPONDENT, 
SAM BROCK, 
EXPLAINS HOW 
WALMART PLUS IS 
DIFFERENT. 
>> SAVANNAH, 
GOOD AFTERNOON. 
IN THE SPACE FOR 
SUBSCRIPTION 
ONLINE 
DELIVERIES, 
WHICH AMAZON HAS 
DOMINATED FOR 
YEARS, WALMART 
IS TRYING TO 
BECOME A MAJOR 
PLAYER, BY 
DEBUTING WALMART 
PLUS. 
WHAT'S GOING ON 
NOW DURING THIS 
PANDEMIC. 
PEOPLE ARE BEING 
PUSHED ONLINE. 
THERE'S AN 
INCREDIBLE 
APPETITE FOR 
ONLINE 
DELIVERIES. 
ESPECIALLY FOR 
FOOD. 
AND THAT IS 
RIGHT IN 
WALMART'S 
WHEELHOUSE. 
THEY ARE LOOKING 
TO TAKE THE 
SUCCESS THEY 
ALREADY HAVE 
WITH ONLINE FOOD 
SERVICES. 
THEY NEARLY 
DOUBLED THEIR 
ONLANE SALES 
LAST QUARTER. 
AND EXPAND THAT 
TO ALL HOUSEHOLD 
ORDERS. 
HERE'S WHAT YOU 
NEED TO KNOW. 
WALMART IS $98 A 
YEAR, OR $12 A 
MONTH. 
YOU CAN POM HAIR 
-- COMPARE THAT 
TO AMAZON, 
THOUGH, WHICH IS 
$119. 
AMAZON HAS 
STREAMING PLUS 
SERVICES. 
THOUGH. 
AND WITH 
WALMART, IT'S A 
MINIMUM ORDER OF 
$35 PER ORDER. 
AMAZON DOESN'T 
DO THAT, KNOLLS 
UNLESS YOU'RE 
USING AMAZON 
FRESH OR 
DELIVERY. 
ANOTHER THING 
GOING ON WITH 
WALMART THAT IS 
VERY IMPORTANT 
TO NOTE. 
WALMART PLUS HAS 
A SCAN AND GO 
PROGRAM ON YOUR 
PHONE. 
SO YOU CAN WALK 
INTO A STORE, IF 
YOU WANT TO DO 
IT IN PERSON. 
AND ACTUALLY 
JUST USE THE BAR 
CODE, SCAN IT ON 
YOUR PHONE AND 
WALK OUT WITHOUT 
HAVING TO HAVE 
ANY CONTACT WITH 
A 
PERSON. 
SOMETHING THAT 
IS CERTAINLY 
TAILOR MADE FOR 
CUSTOMERLESS. 
SO THERE'S 
TRADEOFFS HERE. 
FAMILY SHOPPING 
PERHAPS. 
VERSUS JUST 
GETTING ONE OR 
TWO ITEMS FOR NO 
CHARGE AT ALL. 
IRRESPECTIVE OF 
WHAT THOSE 
VALUES MAY BE. 
HERE'S THE 
THING, SAVANNAH. 
THERE ARE 150 
MILLION SHOPPING 
SUBSCRIBERS. 
EVEN THOUGH 
WALMART IS NOT 
SAYING IT IS 
DIRECTLY 
COMPETING WITH 
AMAZON, EVERYONE

VACCINES. 
DR. FAUCI SAID 
AGAIN TODAY. 
WE COULD HAVE A 
VACCINE BY THE 
END OF THE YEAR. 
BUT A LOT OF 
AMERICANS ARE 
SKEPTICAL ABOUT 
THE SAFETY OF 
VACCINES. 
WHAT ARE YOU 
LOOKING FOR TO 
KNOW IF A 
CORONAVIRUS 
VACCINE IS SAFE 
TO TAKE? 
AND ALSO KNOWING 
THAT A LOT OF US 
ARE HEARING THAT 
THERE COULD BE 
THIS SORT OF 
EMERGENCY USE 
THING THAT 
HAPPENS FROM THE 
FDA, AS IT'S IN 
THE LAST STAGES 
OF TRIAL. 
BUT BEFORE IT'S 
GONE THROUGH THE 
WHOLE THING. 
AND BEEN 
PUBLISHED IN 
THIS PEER REVIEW 
JOURNAL. 
WHAT DOES THIS 
MEAN? 
IS IT SAFE?" 
YES.
THIS HAS CREATED 
QUITE A 
COMMOTION. 
FIRST OF ALL, 
LET ME SAY, 
SAVANNAH. 
THAT 40% OF 
AMERICANS DON'T 
WANT TO BE 
VACCINATED. 
AND THAT'S ONE 
THING THAT IS A 
BIG PROBLEM. 
SECOND THING IS 
THAT THE 
VACCINE, ONCE 
APPROVED, VIA 
PHASE 3. MAY 
REQUIRE TWO 
INFECTIONS 
THAT'S LIKE A 
MONTH APART. 
AND THAT'S 
ANOTHER BIG 
ISSUE. 
BECAUSE PEOPLE 
AREN'T GOING TO 
REALLY LIKE THE 
FIRST SHOT. 
AND IF THEY GET 
A FEW ACHES AND 
PAINS LIKE SOME 
PEOPLE GET WITH 
A FLU VACCINE. 
THEY'RE 
CERTAINLY NOT 
GOING TO LINE UP 
FOR THE SECOND 
VACCINE. 
SO THE SECOND 
SHOT IS TO BOOST 
THE IMMUNE 
SYSTEM AND MAKE 
SURE HAVE YOU 
ANTI-COVID 
ANTIBODIES. 
I CAN SAY 
GENERALLY, THAT 
THE VACCINES I 
HAVE SEEN 
DEVELOPED ARE 
SUPERB. 
THEY'RE IN PHASE 
3. AND PHASE 3 
MEANS AT LEAST 
30,000 PEOPLE 
HERE IN THE 
UNITED STATES TO 
BE TESTED 
AGAINST PLACEBO. 
SO PLACEBO MEANS 
SUGAR WATER. 
SO 
ANTIBODYJECTION 
INJECTION OR 
SUGAR WATER TO 
SEE THE EFFICACY 
OR THE ABILITY 
OF THE VACCINE 
TO WORK. 
NOW, AROUND THE 
WORLD, THERE ARE 
APPROXIMATELY 50 
MILLION PEOPLE, 
50,000 PEOPLE 
WILL BE IN PHASE 
3. AND THEN 
LATER, HUNDREDS 
OF MILLIONS OF 
DOSES OF THE 
VACCINE WILL BE 
AVAILABLE. 
I THINK THAT THE 
CDC OR THE FDA 
RIGHT NOW, WITH 
ITS EMERGENCY 
USE 
AUTHORIZATION IS 
SAYING THAT 
PERHAPS PEOPLE 
WHO ARE AT 
GREATEST RISK, 
SUCH AS OUR 
ELDERLY, WITH A 
LOT OF 
COMORBIDITIES, 
SUCH AS PEOPLE 
IN THE 
HEALTHCARE 
INDUSTRY, SUCH 
AS DOCTORS, 
NURSES, AND 
PEOPLE WORKING 
IN HOSPITALS, 
CONDUCTORS ON 
TRAINS, BUS 
DRIVERS, EMTs, 
PARAMEDICS. 
ALL OF THOSE MAY 
GET THIS 
EMERGENCY USE 
VACCINE. 
MEANING IT WOULD 
BE GIVEN BEFORE 
THE PHASE 3 
EFFICACY TRIALS 
ARE FINISHED. 
SAVANNAH? 
>> ALL RIGHT. 
AND DR. LAHITA. 
LET'S TALK ABOUT 
SOME THINGS WE 
ALL MISS DOING. 
GOING TO 
RESTAURANTS, 
GOING TO GYMS. 
AND IF YOU THINK 
THEY ARE SAFE IN 
YOUR HOME STATE 
OF NEW JERSEY 
AND IN THE STATE 
I'M IN, 
CALIFORNIA, 
INDOOR DINING IS 
PARTIALLY 
REOPENING. 
IN YOUR VIEW, IS 
IT SAFE TO GO 
OUT TO EAT NOW? 
MAYBE IS IT SAFE 
TO EAT OUTSIDE 
VERSUS INSIDE IN 
WHAT DO DINERS 
NEED TO KNOW? 
>> I THINK 
DINERS NEEDLE 
TON, IF THERE 
ISN'T A SPIKE AT 
15. 
IF YOUR WAIT 
TRESS OR WAITER 
IS WEARING A 
MASK, AND KEEP 
YOUR DISTANCE 
FROM THE OTHER 
TABLE. 
AND I HAVE BEEN 
DINING OUTSIDE 
WITH MY WIFE. 
AND WE'VE NOTED 
THAT TABLES HAVE 
BEEN AT LEAST 6 
FEET APART. 
I DON'T WEAR A 
MASK OUTSIDE. 
NEITHER DOES 
SHE. 
AND WE ARE VERY 
COMFORTABLE. 
AND SO FAR, 
KNOCK ON WOOD, 
IT'S BEEN FAIRLY 
GOOD. 
IT'S BEEN FAIRLY 
SAVE. 
INDOOR DINING, 
WE PRESUME WILL 
BE THE SAME 
THING. 
GOOD 
VENTILATION, 
GOOD DINING. 
YOU DON'T WANT 
TO BE IN A 
STUFFY, HOT 
ROOM, WITH A 
TABLE THAT IS 
TWO FOOT AWAY 
FROM YOU, WITH A 
TABLE THAT IS 
YELLING OR 
DRINKING BEERS 
OR ET CETERA. 
THAT'S A 
PRESCRIPTION FOR 
DISASTER. 
AND THAT'S WHAT 
YOUNG PEOPLE 
TEND TO DO. 
AND THAT'S WHY 
WE HAVE SUCH A 
SURGE OF 
INFECTIONS 
BETWEEN THE 20- 
ASK 40-YEAR-OLD 
DGES NOW IN THE 
SOUTHERN PART OF 
THE COUNTRY. 
SAVANNAH? 
>> DR., LAHITA. 
MAKES ME SMILE 
TO HEAR THAT YOU 
AND YOUR WIFE 
ARE DOING A 
LITTLE OF THAT. 
THANK YOU AND 
STAY SAFE. 
>> THANK YOU. 
YOU TOO. 
>>> POSSIBLY ONE 
OF THE ONLY 
BRIGHT SPOTS OF 
THE CORONAVIRUS 
PANDEMIC, AS 
THINGS SHUT 
DOWN. 
CARBON EMISSIONS 
PLUMMETED. 
BUT WHAT WILL 
HAPPEN WHEN THE 
WORLD REOPENS? 
NBC NEWS GLOBAL 
CORRESPONDENT 
CARL MASIN TAKES 
A LOOK. 
>> COVID-19, 
SHUT DOWN THE 
WORLD. 
PRACTICALLY 
OVERNIGHT. 
AND AS WE LOCKED 
DOWN SOME OF OUR 
DIRTIEST 
INDUSTRIES 
DISAPPEARED, 
SENDING CARBON 
EMISSIONS 
CRASHING. 
DEEPER AND 
FASTER THAN AT 
ANY POINT IN 
HISTORY. 
BUT A LOT HAS 
HAPPENED WHILE 
WE WERE LOOKING 
THE OTHER WAY. 
AND WHAT HAPPENS 
NOW AS THE WORLD 
REOPENS. 
COULD COVID-19 
ACTUALLY HELP 
SAVE THE PLANET? 
THE ANSWER TO 
THAT QUESTION 
STARTS WITH 
COAL. 
>> HERE, COAL 
HAS BEEN KING 
FOR GENERATIONS. 
NOW BEHIND ME IN 
THE HEART OF 
LONDON. 
THIS IS THE 
POWER STATION. 
AT ITS PEAK, IT 
WAS SUPPLYING 
THE CITY WITH 
AROUND ONE-FIFTH 
OF ITS 
ELECTRICITY. 
>> NOW, IT'S 
BECOMING LUXURY 
APARTMENT. 
BRITISH COAL IS 
BEING DETHRONED. 
RENEWABLE POWER 
LIKE OFFSHORE 
WIND IS TAKING 
OVER AND THE 
PANDEMIC LOOKS 
LIKE THE NAIL IN 
THE COFFIN FOR 
THE UK'S LAST 
REMAINING COAL 
PLANT. 
IN FACT, DEMAND 
FOR COAL PLUNGED 
WORLDWIDE. 
THE BIGGEST 
SLUMP SINCE 
WORLD WAR II. 
IN THE U.S., 
RENEWABLE 
OUTPACED COAL 
FOR THE FIRST 
TIME IN 
CENTURIES. 
ADD THAT TO OUR 
GLOBAL LOCKDOWN. 
AND TOTAL CO2 
EMISSIONS FELL 
17%. 
THE BIGGEST DROP 
IN HISTORY. 
BUT IT WAS JUST 
A DROP IN THE 
BUCKET. 
CORIN McRAE LED 
THE BIGGEST 
SCIENTIFIC STUDY 
OF WHAT HAPPENED 
TO EMISSIONS 
UNDER LOCKDOWN. 
>> 17% BELOW 
2019 EIMATION 
MISSIONS, 
ACTUALLY WAS THE 
LEVEL OF 2006. 
IT'S NOT THAT 
FAR TO GO. 
AND SHOWS HOW 
FAR THE 
EMISSIONS 
INCREASED IN 
SUCH A SHORT 
AMOUNT OF TIME. 
>> IN OTHER 
WORDS, LOCKING 
DOWN ONE FIFTH 
OF THE PLANET 
WAS JUST ENOUGH 
TO TAKE US DOWN 
TO THE SAME 
LEVEL AS JUST A 
FEW YEARS AGO. 
>> ALTHOUGH THE 
EMAIGDZS DID 
DROP BY 87%. 
WE'RE STILL IN 
IT AT 83% OF THE 
LAST YEAR. 
TO TACKLE 
CLIMATE 
CHAINCHTS, 
EMISSIONS HAVE 
TO GO DOWN TO 
ZERO. 
AND WE'RE A LONG 
WAY FROM ZERO 
NOW. 
>> THE THING IS, 
YOUTUBE ALREADY 
ROARING BACK. 
REMEMBER THE 17% 
DROP IN 
EMISSIONS? 
THAT'S CLOSER 
NOW TO JUST 5%. 
>> BY ITSELF, 
DOES NOTHING TO 
TACKLE CLIMATE 
CHANGE. 
>> YOU'RE 
GETTING FURTHER 
PROOF OF THAT 
FROM CHINA, 
WHERE EMISSIONS 
IN MAY WERE 
ACTUALLY AROUND 
5% HIGHER THAN 
LAST YEAR. 
THE FEAR IS, AS 
OUR STREETS GET 
BACK TO NORMAL 
OUREMISSIONS 
WILL, TOO. 
AND CLIMATE 
SCIENTISTS SAY 
THAT IS 
SOMETHING WE 
CAN'T AFFORD. 
BECAUSE WHILE WE 
WERE FOCUSED ON 
ONE CRISIS, THE 
WORLD'S CLIMATE 
CHANGE WAS NOT 
GETTING BETTER 
EITHER. 
GINA McCARTHY. 
>> WHAT IS THE 
TRUMPADMINISTRATION 
UP TO WHEN IT 
COMES TO THE 
ENVIRONMENT 
RIGHT NOW? 
>> I GUESS MY 
DAD WOULD SAY 
THEY'RE UP TO NO 
GOOD. 
>> IN JUST A FEW 
WEEKS, PRESIDENT 
TRUMP WEAKENED A 
SERIES OF 
ENVIRONMENTAL 
PROTECTION. 
MEANT TO SUSPEND 
LAWS. 
THE 
ADMINISTRATION 
SAYS, IT WAS 
ABOUT EASING RED 
TAPE DURING THE 
PANDEMIC. 
>> I THINK IT IS 
FAIR TO SAY THAT 
THEY ARE TAKING 
SOME OF THE 
BIGGEST LEAPS 
FORWARD TOUNDO 
FUNDAMENTAL 
HEALTHCARE 
PROTECTIONS. 
AT THIS MOMENT 
BECAUSE WE ARE 
SO FOCUSED ON A 
PUBLIC HEALTH 
CRISIS; 
>> WE'RE GOING 
TO FEEL IT RIGHT 
UP TO THE TOP. 
SAY TO THE 
AMERICAN 
TAXPAYER, 
BILLIONS AND 
BILLIONS OF 
DOLLARS. 
>> HOW DOES 
OKLAHOMA FEEL 
ABOUT BEING 
PETROLEUM FREE? 
>> THE EPA WOULD 
NOT GO ON RECORD 
IN RESPONSE. 
BUT THE AGENCY 
DID TELL US, IT 
COMPLETELY 
REJECTS 
CRITICISM THAT 
IT IS USING 
CORONAVIRUS TO 
ROLL BACK 
ENVIRONMENTAL 
PROTECTION. 
IN SOME PLACES, 
CHANGE IS 
HAPPENING. 
IN EUROPE, THE 
E.U. 
JUST PASSED WHAT 
IT CALLS THE 
BIGGEST GREEN 
STIMULUS IN 
HISTORY. 
HUNDREDS EVER 
BILLIONS TO 
PRIORITIZE CLEAN 
ENERGY AND 
TRANSPORT. 
AND SOME CHANGES 
ARE ALL AROUND 
US, IN THE WAY 
WE WORK, WHAT WE 
EAT, AND HOW WE 
TRAVEL. 
>> CORONAVIRUS 
IS EVEN GREENING 
OUR CITIES FROM 
NEW YORK TO 
LONDON. 
AT LEAST IN THE 
WAYS WE LOOK TO 
SOCIALLY 
DISTANCE. 
>> THE U.K. 
IS ONE OF 
SEVERAL 
GOVERNMENTS, 
BUILDING MILES 
AND MILES OF NEW 
BIKE LANES. 
AND PART OF THE 
IDEA IS CYCLING 
IS ONE OF THE 
SAFEST WAYS TO 
GET AROUND 
DURING A 
PANDEMIC. 
BUT IT'S ALSO 
REALLY ONE OF 
THE MOST VISIBLE 
SIGNS THAT OUR 
RESPONSE TO THE 
CORONAVIRUS IS 
PAVING THE WAY 
FOR GREENER 
FUTURE. 
>> TO CHANGE OUR 
COURSE ON 
CLIMATE, WE'LL 
NEED TO THINK 
BIGGER. 
THE WORLD IS 
REBUILDING. 
THE QUESTION IS 
STILL HOW? 
WHILE THE 
POLITICIANS 
BATTLE IT OUT, 
ACTIVISTS SAY 
THE ANSWER IS 
CLEAR, WE CAN'T 
GO BACK TO THE 
WAY THINGS USED 
TO BE. 
>> IF YOUR HOUSE 
FELL DOWN ONE 
DAY. 
YOU'D REBUILD 
IT. 
AND YOU'D 
REBUILD THE 
THINGS YOU LOVE. 
BUT YOU WOULDN'T 
NOT FIX THE 
LEAKY DRAFTY 
WINDOW. 
YOU'D FIX THOSE 
THINGS AS YOU 
REBUILT THE 
HOUSE. 
>> SO DID COVID-
19 HELP SAVE THE 
PLANET? 
NO, IT DID NOT. 
BUT IT STILL 
COULD. 
>>> THE 
CORONAVIRUS 
PANDEMIC IS 
FORCING COLLEGE 
STUDENTS TO 
ADAPT TO A NEW 
NORMAL NORMAL, 
AND WHILE THESE 
COULD KEEP IT 
SAFE, IT COULD 
ALSO IMPACT 
THEIR MENTAL 
HEALTH. 
THEY SPOKE TO 
MENTAL HEALTH 
PROFESSIONALS 
AND COLLEGE 
STUDENTS, COPING 
WITH THESE NEW 
CHALLENGES. 
>> THE PANDEMIC 
HAS REALLY LIKE 
MADE MY MENTAL 
HEALTH A LOT 
WORSE. 
LIKE THIS IS THE 
MOST ANXIOUS 
I'VE EVER BEEN, 
I THINK, IN MY 
ENTIRE LIFE. 
JUST WITH 
EVERYTHING. 
KIND OF LIKE 
SCHOOL AND THE 
MANAGING MY 
TIME, TRYING TO 
GET THINGS DONE. 
BUT I'M ALSO 
LIKE FREAKING 
OUT ABOUT HOW 
BAD THE PANDEMIC 
IS. 
>> DATA THAT HAS 
COME OUT MORE 
RECENTLY THAT, 
IS SUGGESTING 
THAT THERE HAS 
BEEN A 
PARTICULAR 
IMPACT ON 
COLLEGE 
STUDENTS. 
THAT THEY'RE 
SEEING HIGHER 
LEVELS OF 
DEPRESSION. 
HAVING FINANCIAL 
INSECURITY, 
WHICH IS ALSO 
LEADING TO 
MENTAL HEALTH 
PROBLEMS. 
AND THIS IS 
CONCERNING 
BECAUSE BEFORE 
THIS PANDEMIC, 
WE KNEW THAT 
COLLEGE STUDENTS 
WERE 
INCREASINGLY 
HAVING MENTAL 
HEALTH CONCERNS. 
,
HEALTH CONCERNS. 
NOW WE HAVE A 
PANDEMIC AND A 
POPULATION THAT 
IS IN GREATER 
NEED FOR MENTAL 
HEALTH SERVICES. 
>>I THINK FOR 
ME, BEFORE THE 
PANDEMIC 
STARTED, I WAS 
GOING THROUGH A IC
TOUGH TIME. 
GOING THROUGH 
THE WHOLE 
PANDEMIC I SAID 
I AM DONE. 
I GIVE UP. 
WHY IS THIS 
HAPPENING. 
>>ALL OF THIS [ 
INDISCERNIBLE ] 
BECAUSE I AM THE 
OLDEST AND THE 
LANGUAGE AND 
THEY HELP ME OUT 
WITH MY TUITION. 
I FEEL LIKE I 
OWE THEM FEA LOT 
AND I NEED TO 
HELP THEM A LOT. 
>> MINI OF THEM 
HAVE BACKGROUND 
THAT ARE FULL OF 
FRUSTRATION AND 
CHALLENGES. 
>> MY PARENTS 
ARE STAUNCHLY 
REPUBLICAN. 
I AM BIPOLAR AND 
PROGRESSIVE. 
I HAVE A. 
OBVIOUSLY THEY 
WILL COME UP 
WITH COMMENTS 
AND I HAD TO 
VERY 
STRATEGICALLY 
HIDE WHAT I WAS 
DOING. 
AGAIN, IT IS NOT 
NEARLY AS BAD, 
BUT IT IS -- 
>>DATA SHOWS 
MORE THAN HALF 
THE STUDENTS DID 
NOT KNOW WHERE TH
TO GO FOR MENTAL 
HEALTH SERVICES 
AT THE ONSET OF 
THE PANDEMIC.  
20% OF WERE 
FACING 
SIGNIFICANT 
NEGATIVE IMPACT. 
THAT IS VERY 
CONCERNING FOR 
US. 
STUDENT HEALTH 
SERVICES THEY 
HAVE COUNSELORS 
THAT CAN HELP 
ONLINE. 
IT IS NICE TO 
TALK TO SOMEONE 
ABOUT THE THINGS 
GOING ON BUT 
BECAUSE I WAS AT 
HOME EVEN IF I 
WAS HOME ALONE, 
IT WAS HARD TO 
BE AS. 
BECAUSE THERE IS 
A DIFFERENT 
FEELING THERE. 
I THINK ABOUT 
THIS GROUP OF 
COLLEGE STUDENTS 
NOT COMING BACK 
COLLEGE BECAUSE 
THEY ARE NOT 
COMING BACK TO 
ANYTHING, THEY 
ARE COMING INTO 
SOME NEW. 
I LIKE TO THINK 
OF IT AS IT 
FEELS LIKE 
UNINTENDED OR A 
NEXT UNEXPECTED 
EXPLORES. 
THERE'S A LOT OF 
HOPE. 
EVEN THOUGH I AM 
CONCERNED ABOUT 
THEM THI AM 
CONCERNED THAT 
THEY ARE DEALING 
WITH SOMETHING 
THAT NONE OF US 
HAVE EVER.

THE NATIONAL

SAYS THEY DO NOT TH
RECOMMEND THE 
USE OF BLOOD 
PLASMA TO TREAT 
COVID-19. 
THAT COMES 
SHORTLY AFTER 
THE FDA 
AUTHORIZED 
EMERGENCY USE OF 
CONVALESCENT 
PLAZA PLASMA. 
ANOTHER STUDY 
SHOWED THAT IT
