>>> GOOD EVENING, I'M JUJU CHANG
IN CHAR LINSEY DAVIS.
THANKS FOR STREAMING WITH US.
15.5 MILLION AMERICANS ARE STILL
COLLECTING UNEMPLOYMENT 
BENEFITS.
THAT'S MILLIONS OF AMERICANS 
STRUGGLING, WORRIED ABOUT 
PUTTING FOOD ON THEIR TABLE, OR 
KEEPING THE LIGHTS ON, OR 
STAYING IN THEIR HOMES AND YET 
TODAY CONGRESS ADJOURNED FOR THE
AUGUST SUMMER RECESS.
LAWMAKERS ON BOTH SIDES OF THE 
AISLE UNABLE TO MAKE A DEAL, AND
PROVIDE THE SECURITY SO MANY 
NEED DURING THIS PANDEMIC.
ANOTHER BIG CHALLENGE LEFT 
UNANSWERED BY CONGRESS, THE 
ISSUE OF INCREASED FUNDING FOR 
THE POSTAL SERVICE, WHICH COULD 
BE CRITICAL IN THIS ELECTION 
CYCLE.
PRESIDENT TRUMP ADMITTING THE 
POSTAL SERVICE NEEDS BILLIONS 
FOR MAIL-IN VOTING BUT HE 
DOESN'T WANT TO GIVE THEM 
FUNDING.
THE BIDEN/HARRIS TICKET HAD 
SOMETHING TO SAY ABOUT THAT.
MARY BRUCE LEADS US OFF. 
>> Reporter: PRESIDENT TRUMP 
ADMITTED HE WANTS TO BLOCK 
BILLIONS OF DOLLARS FROM THE 
POST OFFICE TO PREVENT DEMOCRATS
FROM EXPANDING MAIL-IN VOTING 
DURING THE PANDEMIC. 
>> THEY NEED THAT MONEY TO HAVE 
THE POST OFFICE WORK TO TAKE ALL
THESE MILLIONS AND MILLIONS OF 
BALLOTS.
IF WE DON'T MAKE A DEAL THAT 
MEANS THEY DON'T GET THE MONEY, 
CAN'T HAVE UNIVERSAL MAIL-IN 
VOTING. 
>> Reporter: TRUMP ACKNOWLEDGED 
WITHOUT THE MONEY THE POSTAL 
SERVICE WOULDN'T BE EQUIPPED TO 
HANDLE THE EXPECTED SURGE WITH 
MAIL-IN VOTING.
HE'S CLAIMED WITHOUT EVIDENCE 
THAT IT LEADS TO VOTER FRAUD.
HE'S ALSO ADMITTED HE THINKS 
EXPANDING MAIL-IN VOTING WILL 
HURT REPUBLICANS.
HOUSE SPEAKER NANCY PELOSI 
ACCUSED TRUMP OF PUTTING HIS OWN
POLITICAL INTERESTS AHEAD OF 
VOTERS' HEALTH. 
>> THE PRESIDENT IS AFRAID OF 
THE AMERICAN PEOPLE.
HE'S BEEN AFRAID FOR A WHILE.
HE KNOWS THAT ON THE LEGIT IT 
WOULD BE HARD FOR HIM TO WIN SO 
HE WANTS TO PUT OBSTACLES OF 
PARTICIPATION -- 
>> JOE BIDEN'S CAMPAIGN SAYS THE
PRESIDENT IS SABOTAGING THE 
POSTAL SERVICE. 
>> GUYS, LET'S GO. 
>> HE DOESN'T WANT AN ELECTION. 
>> Reporter: BIDEN OF HIS FIRST 
DAY OUT WITH HIS NEW RUNNING 
MATE PUTTING THE PANDEMIC CENTER
STAGE, THAT'SING THEMSELVES AS 
THE TEAM THAT CAN BEAT THIS 
VIRUS. 
>> IT SHOULD BE THE PUBLIC 
HEALTH PROFESSIONALS LEADING 
POLICY IN OUR COUNTRY TO ADDRESS
THIS LETHAL PANDEMIC. 
>> Reporter: BIDEN IS NOW 
CALLING ON ALL GOVERNORS TO 
IMPOSE AN IMMEDIATE MASK 
MANDATE. 
>> EVERY SINGLE AMERICAN SHOULD 
BE WEARING A MASK WHEN THEY'RE 
OUTSIDE FOR THE NEXT THREE 
MONTHS AT MINIMUM.
EVERY GOVERNOR SHOULD MANDATE, 
EVERY GOVERNOR SHOULD MANDATE 
MANDATORY MASK WEARING. 
>> Reporter: HE SAYS IT WOULD 
SAVE THOUSANDS OF LIVES.
AND IS JUST THE RIGHT THING TO 
DO. 
>> THIS IS AMERICA.
BE A PATRIOT.
PROTECT YOUR FELLOW CITIZENS.
PROTECT YOUR FELLOW CITIZENS.
STEP UP.
DO THE RIGHT THING.
>> Reporter: LATE TODAY THE 
PRESIDENT RESPONDING. 
>> BIDEN'S APPROACH IS 
REGRESSIVE.
IT'S ANTI-SCIENTIFIC.
AND IT'S VERY DEFEATIST.
BUT IT WILL BE VERY BAD FOR OUR 
COUNTRY.
WHILE JOE BIDEN HAS BEEN PLAYING
POLITICS FROM THE SIDELINES HE 
HAS NO CLUE. 
>> AND MARY BRUCE JOINS US NOW 
FROM WASHINGTON.
MARY, HOW ARE REPUBLICANS 
REACTING TO THE PRESIDENT'S 
COMMENTS AND WHETHER THE POST 
OFFICE NEEDS THESE FUNDS AHEAD 
OF THE ELECTION?
>> Reporter: CERTAINLY NOT EVERY
REPUBLICAN IS ON BOARD HERE.
IN FACT, SUSAN COLLINS SAYS SHE 
DISAGREES STRONGLY WITH TRUMP ON
THIS ISSUE.
I HAVE TO SAY, THOUGH, JUJU, IT 
IS UNCLEAR WHAT THE PRESIDENT'S 
POSITION IS RIGHT NOW.
HE SEEMED TO SIGNAL TO REPORTERS
JUST NOW THAT HE WOULD BE OPEN 
TO NEGOTIATING, AND FUNDING THE 
POSTAL SERVICE, BUT JUST AT A 
MUCH LOWER AMOUNT. 
>> AND THIS DEBATE OVER FUNDS 
FOR THE POST OFFICE IS ALL PART 
OF THE LARGER ECONOMIC STIMULUS 
TALKS BUT THE SENATE ADJOURNED 
TODAY AS WE KNOW FOR THEIR 
AUGUST RECESS.
IS THERE REALLY NO DEAL IN 
SIGHT?
>> Reporter: THERE IS 
UNFORTUNATELY NO DEAL.
THEY'RE HEADED OUT OF TOWN FOR 
THE SUMMER RECESS AND THEY'RE 
FAR, FAR APART ON MANY ISSUES, 
NOT ONLY CONCERNING FUNDING THE 
POSTAL SERVICE BUT ALSO THOSE 
CRITICAL UNEMPLOYMENT BENEFITS, 
THE WEEKLY $600 CHECK, THAT 30 
MILLION AMERICANS WERE RELYING 
ON THAT HAS NOW EXPIRED.
THAT'S A VERY CONTENTIOUS ISSUE 
AND SO IS FUNDING FOR STATE AND 
LOCAL GOVERNMENTS, ADDITIONAL 
FUNDING FOR SCHOOLS, TESTING, 
THE LIST GOES ON AND ON.
CAPITOL HILL HAS A LOT OF WORK 
TO DO, NOT A LOT OF TIME AND NO 
ONE IS UP ON THE HILL RIGHT NOW.
JUJU?
>> SO MANY AMERICANS WATCHING 
THIS DEBATE.
OUR THANKS TO MARY BRUCE. 
>>> AND, OF COURSE, THIS 
UNPRECEDENTED ELECTION, TAKING 
PLACE AS THOUSANDS CONTINUE TO 
DIE FROM CORONAVIRUS.
MORE THAN 1,400 DEATHS YESTERDAY
ALONE.
THE MOST SINCE THIS SPRING.
YET ACROSS THE COUNTRY THE 
DEBATE ABOUT REOPENING SCHOOLS 
GROWS LOUDER.
VICTOR OQUENDO HAS MORE. 
>> OPEN SCHOOLS, OPEN SCHOOLS. 
>> Reporter: ACROSS THE COUNTRY,
GROWING CALLS FOR SCHOOLS TO 
OPEN THEIR CLASSROOMS.
TODAY TAMPA AREA SCHOOLS FORCED 
BY THE STATE TO DO JUST THAT, OR
RISK LOSING MORE THAN $200 
MILLION IN FUNDING.
BUT FOR SOME SCHOOLS THAT HAVE 
ALREADY REOPENED SWIFT SETBACKS.
AT LEAST 2,400 STUDENTS AND 
STAFF ARE QUARANTINED ACROSS AT 
LEAST SIX STATES.
HALF IN CHEROKEE COUNTY, GEORGIA
AFTER DOZENS TESTED POSITIVE FOR
THE VIRUS.
STUDENTS ENCOURAGED, BUT NOT 
REQUIRED TO WEAR MASKS. 
>> I DEFINITELY STILL SAY GIVE 
THIS A SHOT.
I THINK THERE IS A WAY TO DO 
THIS.
IN PERSON. 
>> Reporter: BUT SOME PARENTS 
KEEPING THEIR KIDS ONLINE. 
>> IT'S JUST A LITTLE TOO SCARY 
RIGHT NOW.
THEY'RE NOT MANDATING MASKS.
WHICH I THINK IS A HUGE THING 
THAT CAN STOP THE SPREAD OF THE 
VIRUS.
>> Reporter: AS CHILDREN GO BACK
TO SCHOOL, AND CHILD CARE 
SETTINGS, THE AMERICAN ACADEMY 
OF PEDIATRICS TODAY RECOMMENDING
ALL CHILDREN OLDER THAN 2 WEAR 
MASKS, SAYING CLOTH FACE 
COVERINGS SHOULD BE PART OF 
THEIR NEW NORMAL, JUST LIKE 
WEARING SEAT BELTS AND BIKE 
HELMETS.
GEORGIA'S GOVERNOR PROMISING NEW
ACTION AFTER WITHDRAWING HIS 
LAWSUIT AGAINST THE CITY OF 
ATLANTA WHICH HAD ITS OWN MASK 
MANDATE.
THE PRESIDENT AGAIN TODAY 
PUSHING FOR SCHOOLS TO REOPEN. 
>> WE DON'T WANT THE SCHOOLS 
SHUT DOWN.
WE WANT THE SCHOOLS TO OPEN.
AND ESPECIALLY VERY YOUNG 
CHILDREN, ALL CHILDREN, BUT 
ESPECIALLY VERY YOUNG CHILDREN 
HANDLE IT VERY WELL. 
>> Reporter: BUT DR. ANTHONY 
FAUCI SAYS TO REOPEN SCHOOLS, 
COMMUNITIES NEED TO KEEP 
INFECTION RATES UNDER 10%.
AND AS FOR THOSE TEMPERATURE 
CHECKS, HE SAYS THEY'RE NOT A 
RELIABLE SCREENING TOOL, 
ESPECIALLY ON A HOT SUMMER DAY. 
>> IT IS MUCH, MUCH BETTER TO 
JUST QUESTION PEOPLE WHEN THEY 
COME IN AND SAVE THE TIME, 
BECAUSE THE TEMPERATURES ARE 
NOTORIOUSLY INACCURATE, MANY 
TIMES. 
>> Reporter: FOR STUDENTS 
LEARNING ONLINE SCHOOL DISTRICTS
NOW SCRAMBLING TO GET KIDS 
COMPUTERS THEY NEED. 
>> ENOUGH.
THIS IS AN EMERGENCY.
THIS IS AN A CRISIS.
WE DON'T HAVE TIME FOR IT.
THESE CHILDREN NEED TO BE 
EDUCATED.
AND THEY NEED A DEVICE TO GET IT
DONE.
>> Reporter: SOME PARENTS WORRY 
ONLINE SCHOOL JUST WON'T WORK. 
>> THEY'RE NOT ENGAGED ANYMORE.
IT'S VERY, VERY DIFFICULT WHEN 
THEY'RE THAT YOUNG. 
>> Reporter: SARAH FERNO HERE IN
HOLLYWOOD, FLORIDA FEELS STUCK. 
>> I DON'T HAVE THE LUXURY OF 
NOT GOING INTO WORK.
MY HUSBAND DOESN'T HAVE THE 
LUXURY OF NOT GOING INTO WORK. 
>> Reporter: SO MANY AMERICANS 
TRYING TO KEEP THEIR FAMILIES 
SAFE, THE VIRUS AFFECTING EACH 
MEMBER OF THE GIBBONS FAMILY IN 
MINNESOTA, THEIR 4-YEAR-OLD HAD 
NO SYMPTOMS BUT THEIR NEWBORN 
WAS IN THE HOSPITAL FOR DAYS. 
>> HE TESTED POSITIVE FOR COVID.
I WAS IN SHOCK.
ANYTIME IT'S YOUR CHILD IT'S 
HEARTBREAKING. 
>> Reporter: NEWS IN THE RACE 
FOR THE VACCINE, THE DIRECTOR OF
THE NATIONAL INSTITUTES OF 
HEALTH SOUD IT WOULD BE A QUOTE 
MIRACLE IF ONE OF THE VACCINES 
IN PHASE THREE TRIALS WERE TO 
DEMONSTRATE AN EFFECTIVE VACCINE
BY THE BEGINNING OF OCTOBER, 
ENCOURAGING NEWS, WE'RE ON TRACK
TO HAVE A READILY AVAILABLE 
VACCINE BY THE BEGINNING OF NEXT
YEAR.
VICTOR OQUENDO, ABC NEWS, MIAMI 
BEACH. 
>>> TO HELP US GET A REALITY 
CHECK ON THE COVID-19 SITUATION,
ESPECIALLY IN THE RACE FOR A 
VACCINE, IS SENIOR SCHOLAR AT 
JOHNS HOPKINS UNIVERSITY CENTER 
FOR HEALTH SECURITY, DR. ADALJA,
THANKS FOR JOINING US. 
>> THANKS FOR HAVING ME. 
>> I KNOW YOU'VE SERVED ON 
GOVERNMENT PANELS TASKED WITH 
DEVELOPING GUIDELINES FOR THE 
TREATMENT OF INFECTIOUS DISEASE 
EMERGENCIES.
AND WE JUST EARLIER GOT AN 
UPDATE THAT OPERATION WARP SPEED
IS ON TRACK TO DELIVER 300 
MILLION VACCINE DOSES TO THE 
AMERICAN PUBLIC BY JANUARY OF 
NEXT YEAR.
NOW, THIS IS A MASSIVE 
PUBLIC-PRIVATE PARTNERSHIP.
IN YOUR OPINION WHAT'S THE U.S. 
GOVERNMENT GETTING RIGHT AND 
WHAT IF ANYTHING ARE THEY 
GETTING LONG, NOT JUST IN THE 
SEARCH FOR THE VACCINE BUT IN 
FIGHTING THE VIRUS?
>> SO WHEN YOU LOOK AT OPERATION
WARP SPEED IT IS SOMETHING THAT 
MANY OF US HAVE CALLED FOR FOR 
SOME TIME, HAVING A WAY TO PRO 
CURE MEDICAL COUNTERMEASURES 
AHEAD OF TIME SO WE'RE NOT 
BASICALLY DOING THIS ON THE FLY 
AND THAT WE REMOVE THE FINANCIAL
UNCERTAINTY THAT MANY OF THESE 
COMPANIES THAT ARE INVESTING IN 
THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE VACCINES 
ARE FACING.
I DO THINK THAT JUST THE WHOLE 
IDEA OF OPERATION WARP SPEED, OR
MANUFACTURING MANY DIFFERENT 
CANDIDATES AHEAD OF TIME BEFORE 
WE KNOW THE FINAL PHASE THREE 
RESULTS WILL BE ONE WAY TO CUT 
DOWN THE TIME NEEDED TO SCALE UP
VACCINATION WHEN THE VACCINE 
BECOMES AVAILABLE.
THIS IS A MAJOR DEVELOPMENT.
IT'S SOMETHING THAT I THINK WE 
ALL SUPPORT.
HOWEVER, WHEN IT COMES TO THE 
VIRUS OVERALL I WOULD SAY THAT 
THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT HAS HAD A
MAJOR PROBLEM BEING ABLE TO 
ACTUALLY RECOGNIZE THE 
SERIOUSNESS OF THIS OUTBREAK 
FROM THE START, FROM JANUARY, 
FEBRUARY AND MARCH, WHERE THE 
THREAT WAS MINIMIZED.
THE CDC TESTING GUIDANCE WAS 
FLAWED.
THE TEST KITS WERE FLAWED.
AND WE'VE BEEN PLAYING CATCH-UP 
SINCE THAT TIME AND WE CONTINUE 
TO HAVE A TAX ON EXPERTISE THAT 
COME FROM THE WHITE HOUSE AS 
WELL AS UNDERMINING OF THE CDC, 
WHICH IS THE NATION'S PREMIER 
PUBLIC HEALTH INSTITUTION AND WE
NEED THE CDC TO BE IN THE 
DRIVER'S SEAT FOR THIS PANDEMIC 
AND FOR ALL INFECTIOUS DISEASE 
EMERGENCIES. 
>> LET'S TALK ABOUT THAT BIG 
HEADLINE WE WOKE UP TO EARLIER 
THIS WEEK WHICH WAS RUSSIA'S 
CLAIM THEY'VE DEVELOPED A 
VACCINE.
THERE'S BEEN A LOT OF CRITICISM.
BUT LET'S GET INTO IT BY LETTING
ME ASK YOU, WOULD YOU PERSONALLY
TAKE THAT VACCINE?
I MEAN, RUSSIA HAS BEEN 
CRITICIZED FOR CUTTING CORNERS.
AND CALLING THIS SPUTNIK 5 
VICTORY. 
>> I WOULD NOT TAKE THE SPUTNIK 
5 VACCINE AT THIS POINT.
I WOULD WANT TO SEE PHASE ONE OR
PHASE TWO DATA.
WE HAVE NOT SEEN ANY PEER 
REVIEWED PUBLICATIONS EVEN 
DESCRIBING THE SAFETY OR THE 
EFFICACY OF THIS VACCINE, EVEN 
EARLY STAGE CLINICAL 
DEVELOPMENT.
IT REALLY IS, TO ME, A BLACK 
BOX.
UNTIL WE SEE THAT DATA I THINK 
THIS IS REALLY A HIGHLY 
SPECUL
SPECULATIVE ENDEAVOR.
I HOPE NOTHING BAD HAPPENS.
WE DON'T WANT ANY MISSTEPS WITH 
THE RUSSIAN EXPERIENCE TO COLOR 
PEOPLE'S EVALUATION OF OTHER 
VACCINES THAT ARE OUT THERE.
IT'S GOING TO BE A MAJOR 
CHALLENGE TO GET PEOPLE TO TAKE 
THE VACCINE.
SO ANY KIND OF SAFETY OR 
EFFICACY SIGNAL THAT EMERGES 
FROM THE RUSSIA EXPERIENCE COULD
BE SOMETHING THAT WILL BE -- 
SOMETHING THAT THE PUBLIC HEALTH
AUTHORITIES IN THIS COUNTRY ARE 
GOING TO HAVE TO TALK TO THE 
GENERAL PUBLIC ABOUT. 
>> DR. FAUCI HAS EXPRESSED 
SKEPTICISM PUBLICLY.
DO YOU SHARE THAT SKEPTICISM?
>> I DO THEIR THAT SKEPTICISM.
WE HAVEN'T SEEN PHASE ONE OR 
PHASE TWO OR ANIMAL DATA.
UNTIL WE SEE IT PEER REVIEWED 
IT'S HARD TO MAKE ANY KIND OF 
CLAIMS ABOUT IT.
I AM SKEPTICAL THEY HAVE A SAFE 
OR EFFECTIVE VACCINE I HOPE THEY
DON'T CAUSE ANY HARM TO THE 
VACCINE DEVELOPMENT PROCESS AS 
THEY ROLL THIS VACCINE OUT. 
>> SO WALK US THROUGH THE NORMAL
VACCINE TRIAL PROTOCOL, AND HOW 
DOES IT NORMALLY OPERATE, AND 
WHY WAS THIS RUSSIAN TRIAL 
DIFFERENT IN THAT SENSE?
>> WELL, WHAT HAPPENS IS YOU GO 
THROUGH DIFFERENT PHASES OF 
STUDY, PHASE ONE AND PHASE TWO, 
YOU'RE LOOKING AT THE SAFETY OF 
THE VACCINE AND DOES THE VACCINE
ACTUALLY INDUCE ANTIBODIES AND T
CELL IMMUNITY, AND SIDE EFFECTS.
AND THEN A PHASE THREE TRIAL 
WITH A LARGER GROUP OF PEOPLE, 
NOT JUST DOZENS OF HUNDREDS BUT 
MAYBE TENS OF THOUSANDS.
SOMETHING THAT MIGHT BE RARE, 
SOMETHING THAT MIGHT HAPPEN 1% 
OF THE TIME WILL BE PICKED UP 
AND YOU'LL ALSO SEE HOW THOSE 
ANTIBODIES AND THE T CELL 
IMMUNITY FARES WHEN A PERSON 
THAT'S VACCINATED FACES THE 
VIRUS.
THAT'S WHERE WE GET EFFICACY, 
WHETHER WE KNOW A VACCINE WORKS 
AND WHETHER IT'S SAFE.
WHAT WE KNOW ABOUT THIS RUSSIAN 
VACCINE IS THEY'RE SKIPPING THE 
PHASE THREE TRIAL.
THEY'RE GOING TO DO IT BY 
OFFERING IT TO THE GENERAL 
PUBLIC.
WE DON'T KNOW WHETHER IT'S GOING
TO WORK AND HOW SAFE IT'S GOING 
TO BE WHEN YOU GIVE IT TO LARGE 
GROUPS OF A POPULATION.
THEY SAY THEY'VE DONE PHASE ONE 
AND PHASE TWO TRIALS BUT, AGAIN,
WE'VE SEEN NONE OF THAT DATA. 
>> THERE HAVE BEEN REPORTS OF 
CYBERSECURITY BREACHES WITH 
RELATION TO MAJOR VACCINE 
DEVELOPMENT AND WHEN WE'RE 
DEALING WITH A GLOBAL RACE FOR 
VACCINE LIKE THIS WITH COMPETING
COUNTRIES DO SCIENTISTS 
ANTICIPATE ESPIONAGE?
THERE HAD BEEN TALK OF 
INTERNATIONAL COOPERATION WHEN 
IT COMES TO COVID. 
>> THERE HAS BEEN SOME REPORTS 
OF INDUSTRIAL ESPIONAGE GOING ON
WITH THIS VACCINE AND OTHER 
COUNTERMEASURES FOR CORONAVIRUS 
AND I THINK THAT'S SOMETHING 
THAT WE HAVE TO ANSWER AND THINK
ABOUT.
WE'RE IN A WORLD WHERE EVERYBODY
IS TRYING TO GET A VACCINE, AND 
SOME OF THIS IS INDUSTRIAL 
SECRETS OR PROPRIETARY 
INFORMATION AND WE KNOW THAT 
THERE ARE COUNTRIES THAT HAVE 
THE ABILITY TO BE ABLE TO HACK 
THIS INFORMATION AND TRY AND 
DUPLICATE IT AND REPLICATE IT.
I THINK THIS IS AN IMPORTANT 
QUESTION.
WE KNOW THE VACCINE IS SIMILAR 
TO THE ASTRAZENICA VACCINE BY --
>> HOW COMFORTABLE -- BASED ON 
THE DATA YOU'VE SEEN THUS FAR?
>> THE U.S. VACCINES WE HAVE 
SEEN, ROBUST PHASE ONE AND PHASE
TWO DATA AND WAITING TO SEE 
PHASE THREE DATA.
IF WE DO GET PHASE THREE 
SUCCESSFULLY WITH A GOOD SAFETY 
SIGNAL AS WELL AS EFFICACY 
AGAINST THE VIRUS, I WOULD 
RECOMMEND PEOPLE TAKE IT.
AND THERE ARE PEOPLE ENROLLING 
IN CLINICAL TRIALS, IT'S 
TRANSPARENT AND INFORMED 
CONSENT.
THIS IS DIFFERENT THAN WHAT 
WE'RE SEEING IN RUSSIA AND I 
THINK THE UNITED STATES AND 
UNITED KINGDOM AND OTHER 
COUNTRIES WILL DEVELOP SAFE S
K
VACCINES THAT CAN BE GIVEN TO 
THE POPULATION.
THAT WILL ONE WAY WE'LL EXIT THE
PANDEMIC. 
>> MY NEXT QUESTION, NOT IF, BUT
WHEN THERE IS A VACCINE THERE IS
A CONCERN THAT COVID WILL NEVER 
SIMPLY GO AWAY GIVEN THE LACK OF
A PERFECT MATCH.
DO YOU THINK THAT'S THE CASE OR 
IS THIS JUST GOING TO BE OUR NEW
REALITY OF HAVING COVID, SOME 
STRAINS OF IT STILL OUT THERE?
>> I DO THINK THAT COVID IS 
GOING TO BE WITH US, IT'S A 
VIRUS THAT TRANSMITS VERY 
EFFICIENTLY IN PEOPLE.
A VACCINE WILL COPE IT UNDER 
CONTROL BUT I DON'T THINK IT 
WILL BE ERADICATED FROM THE 
PLANET, WE'VE ONLY ERADICATED 
ONE HUMAN DISEASE FROM THE 
PLANET, IT'S NOT SOMETHING WE 
CAN EVEN DO FOR MEASLES.
IT'S MUCH LESS OF A THREAT WHEN 
WE HAVE A VACCINE THAT PEOPLE 
CAN AVAIL THEMSELVES OF. 
>> DR. ADALJA, THANK YOU SO MUCH
FOR YOUR TIME AND FOR ALL YOUR 
PERSPECTIVE.
APPRECIATE IT. 
>> THANKS FOR HAVING ME. 
>>> WE'RE GOING TO TURN NOW TO 
THE FINANCIAL IMPACT OF COVID, 
THE LATEST ON THE ECONOMIC 
RECOVERY.
FOR THE FIRST TIME SINCE THE 
PANDEMIC HIT IN MARCH, WEEKLY 
UNEMPLOYMENT CLAIMS FELL UNDER 1
MILLION.
BUT THERE ARE STILL RECORD HIGHS
WITH 963,000 AMERICANS FILING 
CLAIMS JUST LAST WEEK.
AND SOME 15.5 MILLION TOTAL 
AMERICANS ARE CURRENTLY 
COLLECTING UNEMPLOYMENT 
BENEFITS.
I'M JOINED NOW BY ABC'S DEIDRE 
BOLTON.
DEIDRE, IT'S, OF COURSE, WELCOME
NEWS THAT THESE UNEMPLOYMENT 
CLAIMS ARE FALLING BUT THE 
ECONOMY AND THE JOBS PICTURE 
STILL VERY MUCH A DEEP DARK 
HOLE.
CAN YOU PUT THESE NUMBERS IN 
CONTEXT FOR US?
>> WE SURE CAN.
SO, FOR EXAMPLE, YOU MENTIONED 
THIS AMAZING NUMBER.
SO WE'LL TAKE THE VICTORIES 
WHERE WE HAVE THEM, UNDER A 
MILLION FOR THE FIRST TIME SINCE
THIS LOCKDOWN BEGAN AS YOU KNOW 
IN MARCH SO THE FACT THAT FEWER 
AMERICANS ARE APPLYING FOR NEW 
UNEMPLOYMENT BENEFITS, THAT HAS 
TO BE A MINI VICTORY LAP OF 
SORTS.
THIS IS THE FIRST TIME WE'VE 
SEEN THIS KIND OF PROGRESS IN 
BASICALLY FIVE MONTHS.
WE JUST HAVE TO TAKE A LARGER 
VIEW, THOUGH, AND IF WE LOOK AT 
THE NUMBER OF AMERICANS THAT 
HAVE HAD TO FILE UNEMPLOYMENT 
BENEFITS SINCE THE LOCKDOWNS 
BEGAN, IT IS CLOSE TO 56 
MILLION.
SO THAT'S ABOUT A THIRD OF OUR 
WORKFORCE.
THAT OBVIOUSLY IS A HUGE NUMBER.
SO WHILE THIS NUMBER IS 
PROMISING, WE JUST HAVE SUCH A 
LONG WAY TO GO.
ONE OTHER CONTEXTUAL POINT, 
BETWEEN 2007 AND 2009, THE WORST
WEEK WE HAD DURING THAT TIME FOR
NEW UNEMPLOYMENT BENEFITS WE HAD
665,000, SO EVERY SINGLE WEEK 
SINCE THE MARCH LOCKDOWN WE HAVE
SURPASSED EVEN THE WORST WEEK 
FROM THAT LAST RECESSION.
WE JUST HAVE A LONG WAY BACK, 
JUJU. 
>> DEIDRE, THOSE NUMBERS ARE 
STAGGERING TO PUT IN 
PERSPECTIVE.
WE BOTH KNOW CONGRESS AND THE 
WHITE HOUSE ARE STALLED ON 
NEGOTIATIONS OVER MORE ECONOMIC 
RELIEF MEASURES WITH NO DEAL IN 
SIGHT, NO $600 CHECKS FOR PEOPLE
IN NEED.
WHAT KIND OF ECONOMIC FALLOUT 
COULD WE SEE IN THE WEEKS AHEAD 
IF THEY'RE NOT ABLE TO GET SOME 
KIND OF DEAL SOON?
>> SO MOST ECONOMISTS I HAVE 
BEEN SPEAKING WITH SAY WE'RE 
GOING TO SEE THE EFFECTS OF THIS
STALEMATE IN DAYS, NEVER MIND 
WEEKS, NEVER MIND MONTHS.
AS WE KNOW THAT $600 
SUPPLEMENTARY PAYMENT ON TOP OF 
UNEMPLOYMENT BENEFITS THAT WAS 
SUCH A LIFELINE TO SO MANY 
AMERICANS USING THAT MONEY TO 
PAY FOR GROCERIES, TO PAY FOR 
MEDICAL BILLS, TO PAY FOR RENT.
SO WITHOUT THAT LIFELINE, IT 
LEAVES A LOT OF AMERICANS REALLY
IN A DANGEROUS POSITION.
WE ALSO KNOW FROM DATA, VERY FEW
PEOPLE HAVE MORE THAN $400.
THE FED PUT OUT THIS STUDY IN 
SAVINGS.
THERE'S VERY LITTLE MARGIN OF 
ERROR.
CONSUMER SPENDING, TWO-THIRDS OF
OUR ECONOMY.
SO OBVIOUSLY THE LESS MONEY THAT
PEOPLE HAVE IN THEIR POCKETS, 
EVEN TO BUY BASICS SUCH AS 
GROCERIES, THAT SHOWS UP IN OUR 
OVERALL ECONOMIC PICTURE, JUJU. 
>> WELL, DEIDRE, YOU MENTIONED 
THE $400 AND YET ON THE OTHER 
END OF THE SPECTRUM, IS WALL 
STREET.
GIVE US A SENSE OF WHAT'S GOING 
ON WITH THE STOCK MARKET, WHICH 
IS NOW BACK NEAR ITS 
PRE-PANDEMIC HIGHS.
IS THE MARKET OUT OF SYNC WITH 
ECONOMIC REALITY ON MAIN STREET,
OR IS THIS JUST A SIGN OF THE 
DIVISION BETWEEN THE HEALTH OF 
BIG COMPANIES VERSUS SMALL 
BUSINESSES?
AND COULD THE STOCK MARKET COME 
CRASHING DOWN AT SOME POINT?
>> I THINK YOU CAN SAY THAT THE 
STOCK MARKET IS NOT A REFLECTION
OF THE ECONOMY.
THAT IS FOR CERTAIN, TWO 
DIFFERENT ENTITIES ALL TOGETHER.
ONE OF THE REASONS WHY WE'VE 
SEEN THE STOCK MARKET COME BACK 
SO MUCH, SO UP EIGHT OUT OF THE 
PAST TEN WEEKS IS BECAUSE THE 
FED AND THE GOVERNMENT HAVE 
PUMPED TRILLIONS OF DOLLARS INTO
OUR SYSTEM.
THAT MEANS ANYTIME A COMPANY 
WANTS TO BORROW MONEY, IT'S 
CHEAP, IT'S MEANT TO BE 
STIMULATIVE.
THAT IS WHY THE FED DID IT.
SO THE MARKET AND THESE LARGER 
COMPANIES HAVE REALLY HAD A LOT 
OF INSTITUTIONAL SUPPORT, IF YOU
LIKE.
SO THAT IS CERTAINLY AT PLAY 
HERE.
AS FOR THE FUTURE THERE'S ALWAYS
GOING TO BE THIS TUG OF WAR.
AS MANY PEOPLE HAVE TOLD ME, A 
LOT OF THE SENTIMENT, MARKET 
SENTIMENT IS REALLY DRIVEN BY 
THE VIRUS.
SO LET'S SAY WE HAVE GOOD NEWS 
ABOUT A POTENTIAL VACCINE.
THAT'S GOING TO BE A CATALYST.
YOU'RE GOING TO SEE A LOT OF THE
STOCKS THAT HAVE BEEN NEGLECTED 
OR BEATEN DOWN, ANY TRAVEL AND 
LEISURE, HOTEL, AIRLINE STOCKS, 
ANY OF THE SERVICES INDUSTRIES 
THAT ARE JUST REALLY DIFFICULT 
TO CARRY OUT RIGHT NOW WITHOUT A
VACCINE, YOU WOULD SEE SUPPORT 
FOR THOSE STOCKS.
BY THE SAME TOKEN, IF THERE IS A
MAJOR SETBACK EITHER IN THE 
DEVELOPMENT OF A VACCINE OR A 
SETBACK IN THE WAY THAT COVID IS
BEING MENTIONED OR RATHER BEING 
MANAGED GLOBALLY, YOU COULD 
REALLY SEE THAT TAKE A BIG CHUNK
OUT OF SENTIMENT. 
>> DEIDRE, THANK YOU, THERE'S SO
MUCH TO UNPACK THERE, WE 
APPRECIATE IT. 
>>> NOW LET'S GET TO THAT 
LANDMARK DEAL IN THE MIDDLE 
EAST, ISRAEL NORMALIZING 
RELATIONS WITH ARAB EMIRATES AND
EXTENDING PALESTINIAN 
TERRITORIES.
PRESIDENT TRUMP MADE THE 
ANNOUNCEMENT TODAY FROM THE 
WHITE HOUSE, THE NEWS DRAWING 
PRAISE FROM JOE BIDEN.
IF THE DEAL IS SIGNED THE UAE 
WOULD BE ONLY THE THIRD ARAB 
NATION WITH FORMAL TIES TO 
ISRAEL.
WHAT DOES IT ALL MEAN IN THE 
MIDDLE EAST?
HERE'S ABC EAST'S TERRY MORAN. 
>> Reporter: PRESIDENT TRUMP 
HIMSELF ANNOUNCED THE HISTORIC 
PEACE AGREEMENT. 
>> AFTER 49 YEARS ISRAEL AND THE
UNITED ARAB EMIRATES WILL FULLY 
NORMALIZE THEIR DIPLOMATIC 
RELATIONS, THEY WILL EXCHANGE 
EMBASSIES AND AMBASSADORS AND 
BEGIN COOPERATION ACROSS THE 
BOARD. 
>> Reporter: THE PRELIMINARY 
DEAL MARKS ONLY THE THIRD TIME 
IN HISTORY AN ARAB NATION HAS 
AGREED IN PRINCIPLE TO ESTABLISH
NORMAL RELATIONS WITH ISRAEL 
AFTER EGYPT AND JORDAN AND IT'S 
A POTENTIAL BREAKTHROUGH FOR A 
REGION LONG MIRED IN WAR, RUIN, 
TERROR AND DIPLOMATIC STALEMATE.
>> THIS DEAL IS A SIGNIFICANT 
STEP TOWARDS BUILDING A MORE 
PEACEFUL, SECURE AND PROSPEROUS 
MIDDLE EAST. 
>> Reporter: ISRAEL AND THE 
MEDITERRANEAN SEA AND THE UAE ON
THE PERSIAN GULF, AND -- A 
COMMON FOE, IRAN.
UNDER THE DEAL ANNOUNCED TODAY 
THE TWO COUNTRIES WILL WORK TO 
OPEN EP EMBASSIES, BUILD 
ECONOMIC TIES AND COOPERATE ON A
CORONAVIRUS VACCINE.
AND ISRAEL WILL SUSPEND 
DECLARING SOVEREIGNTY OVER LAND 
IT OCCUPIES LONG CLAIMED BY 
PALESTINIANS FOR A FUTURE STATE.
BENJAMIN NETANYAHU THANKING 
PRESIDENT TRUMP AND PREDICTING 
THIS IS THE START OF A NEW 
MIDDLE EAST. 
>> WE WILL SEE MORE ARAB 
COUNTRIES JOINING THE EXPANDING 
CIRCLE OF PEACE. 
>> AMONG PALESTINIANS, SHOCK AND
A SENSE OF BETRAYAL. 
>> THEY WANT TO FORCE US TO HAVE
A PEACE PROCESS BETWEEN US AND 
THE ISRAELIS AND THE EMIRATES.
WE REJECT THIS COMPLETELY.
THIS MAN SAYS. 
>> TERRY, YOU MENTIONED THE 
COMMON FOE IRAN, WAS THAT THE 
MAJOR DYNAMIC BEHIND THE DEAL?
IT SOUNDS AS THOUGH THERE COULD 
BE OTHER COUNTRIES FOLLOWING THE
LEAD. 
>> ABSOLUTELY, IRAN WAS ONE OF 
THE DRIVERS, BUT SO IS THE NEW 
WORLD ECONOMY.
THE NEW WORLD ORDER, REALLY.
A LOT OF WHAT'S HAPPENED IN THE 
MIDDLE EAST HAS BEEN MIRED IN 
THE PAST, AND WITH THE PANDEMIC 
SPURRING SO MUCH CHANGE IT'S 
ALSO SPURRING THIS CHANGE.
LOOK, THERE HAVE BEEN SECRET 
RELATIONS BETWEEN ISRAEL AND THE
UNITED ARAB EMIRATES AND SAUDI 
ARABIA, ALL THE LEADERS TODAY 
SAID THEY EXPECT OTHER ARAB 
NATIONS TO FOLLOW SUIT AND SIGN 
A PEACE DEAL.
EVERYBODY'S LOOKING AT SAUDI 
ARABIA.
IN PART BECAUSE OF IRAN.
IN PART BECAUSE THIS NEW 
GENERATION OF ARAB LEADERS, THEY
DON'T WANT TO BE LOCKED INTO THE
SAME POLITICAL ARGUMENTS OVER 
THE PALESTINIANS THAT THEIR 
GRANDFATHERS WERE.
THEY ARE READY FOR SOMETHING 
NEW.
AND, YOU KNOW, PRESIDENT TRUMP 
LIKES TO STYLE HIMSELF A 
DISRUPTER, THERE'S NO PLACE THAT
NEEDED DISRUPTING MORE THAN THE 
MIDDLE EAST AND HIS DIPLOMACY 
HAS DONE THAT.
THIS IS PART OF THE FRUITS OF 
PRESIDENT TRUMP'S DIFFERENT 
APPROACH TO THE MIDDLE EAST. 
>> AND TERRY, IN RELATION TO THE
PALESTINIANS WE HEARD THAT 
CRITICISM FROM PALESTINIANS ON 
THIS PRELIMINARY DEAL.
DOES THIS CHANGE MUCH ON THE 
GROUND BETWEEN ISRAELIS AND 
PALESTINIANS AND THE LONG 
DORMANT PEACE PROCESS THERE?
>> YOU KNOW, IT IS A TRAGIC 
SITUATION, REALLY, FOR THE 
PALESTINIANS.
ONE THING THEY DID GET IS THAT 
ISRAEL IS BACKING OFF FOR NOW, 
SUSPENDING, DECLARING 
SOVEREIGNTY, OVER THOSE LANDS ON
THE WEST BANK OF THE JORDAN 
RIVER THAT THE PALESTINIANS HAVE
LONG HOPED WOULD BE THE LAND FOR
THEIR FUTURE STATE.
BUT THAT IS A LONG WAY OFF.
AND IT DOES LOOK LIKE THEY'VE 
BEEN LEFT BEHIND IN YESTERDAY.
THEY WILL HAVE TO FIND A NEW 
STRATEGY AS THAT MONOLITHIC 
RESISTANCE TO THE EXISTENCE OF 
ISRAEL, THAT ARAB NATIONS 
MAINTAINED FOR SO MANY DECADES 
STARTS TO BREAK DOWN UNDER NEW 
REALITIES.
PALESTINIANS WILL HAVE TO HAVE A
NEW APPROACH AND HOPE THAT THE 
UNITED STATES WILL BEGIN TO 
REENGAGE IN, AS YOU SAY, THAT 
LONG DORMANT PEACE PROCESS.

FIRE THAT'S SPREAD OUT THERE.

TUSKED ANIMAL WITH A SHOVEL.
THE BOAR DARTS THROUGH TENTS AND
SHOCKED SUNBATHERS.
NO INJURIES WERE REPORTED. 
>>> THERE IS UNDERSTANDABLE 
CONFUSION ABOUT HOW SAFE IT IS 
TO GO TO THE DENTIST.

TELLING PEOPLE IN PLACES WITH 
HIGH RATES OF COVID TRANSMISSION
TO DELAY ROUTINE APPOINTMENTS.
BUT THE AMERICAN DENTAL 
ASSOCIATION IS FIRING BACK, 
SAYING SAFETY PROTOCOLS ARE 
BEING FOLLOWED.

>> DENTISTS FIGHTING TOOTH AND 
NAIL TO GET BACK TO BUSINESS.
NOW TAKING ON THE WORLD HEALTH 
ORGANIZATION.

PEOPLE PUT OFF ROUTINE CHECKUPS

COVID-19 AND HOW IT COULD SPREAD
DURING PROCEDURES.
THE AMERICAN DENTAL ASSOCIATION 
FIRING BACK.
SAYING IT STRONGLY DISAGREES.
AND THAT WITH APPROPRIATE PPE, 
PATIENTS AND PROFESSIONALS CAN 
SAFELY OPERATE. 
>> DENTISTS HAVE BEEN EXPERTS IN
INFECTION CONTROL FOR OVER 20 
YEARS DUE TO THE HIV A.I.D.S. 
SCARE BACK IN THE '80s SO WE'RE 
USED TO PREPARING OUR OFFICES 
FOR INDIRECTION DISEASE CONTROL.
>> WHILE THERE HAVE BEEN NO 
CLUSTERS OF COVID OUTBREAKS 
DIRECTLY TRACED TO DENTAL 
OFFICES TWO SEPARATE COLORADO 
SPRINGS DENTAL OFFICES RECENTLY 
REPORTED STAFF WITH POSITIVE 
COVID TESTS AND SOME DENTAL 
WORKERS ARE ON EDGE. 
>> THE PROBLEM WITH DENTISTRY 
RIGHT NOW IS NOBODY KNOWS THE 
RISKS.
EVERYTHING WE DO, INCLUDING JUST
HAVING A PATIENT OPEN THEIR 
MOUTH AND BREATHING, CREATES -- 
UNLIKE OTHER MEDICINE WE CANNOT 
SOCIALLY DISTANCE FROM A 
PATIENT.
NOBODY CAN LOOK A PATIENT IN THE
EYE AND SAY YOU ARE SAFE HERE 
AND YOU'RE NOT IN HARM'S WAY 
BECAUSE THE SCIENCE IS SHOWING 
US THAT THEY PROBABLY ARE IN 
HARM'S WAY. 
>> BUT DR. RICHARD NAGY, 
PRESIDENT OF THE CALIFORNIA 
DENTAL ASSOCIATION SAYS MOST 
DENTAL OFFICES ACROSS THE U.S. 
HAVE TAKEN THE PANDEMIC 
SERIOUSLY, REVAMPING OFFICES, 
ADDING VENTILATION AND 
STRENGTHENING SANITATION AND 
SAFETY PROTOCOLS. 
>> WE INCREASED OUR KNOWLEDGE OF
AIRBORNE BASED PATHOGENS AND 
PREPARED OUR OFFICE IN TERMS OF 
ENHANCED PPE, ENHANCED TRAINING 
FOR OUR STAFF. 
>> WHAT DO YOU NEED TO CONSIDER 
BEFORE YOU SIT BACK IN THAT 
DENTAL CHAIR?
>> DO A TEMPERATURE CHECK BEFORE
YOU GO IN.
THE WAITING ROOM IS GOING TO BE 
PRETTY MUCH EMPTY, ALL THE 
MAGAZINES AND TOYS, THEY ARE NO 
LONGER GOING TO BE IN THERE.
THEY ARE GOING TO BE DRESSED 
ENTIRELY DIFFERENT, COVERED IN 
PPE.
MAKE SURE YOU'RE LOOKING AROUND 
TO SEE WHETHER OR NOT THE STAFF 
IS CLEAN ENOUGH AFTER EACH 
PATIENT. 
>> OUR THANKS TO WILL REEVE. 
>>> SHE WAS ONCE CONSIDERED ONE 
OF THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY'S RISING
STARS, KATY HILL SWEPT INTO 
OFFICE IN THE BLUE WAVE OF THE 
2018 MIDTERMS, BECOMING ONE OF 
THE FIRST OPENLY BISEXUAL 
MEMBERS OF CONGRESS AND FLIPPING
A REPUBLICAN DISTRICT IN 
CALIFORNIA.
BUT MONTHS LATER IT ALL CAME 
CRASHING DOWN.
LAST NOVEMBER A CONSERVATIVE 
WEBSITE PUBLISHED NUDE PHOTOS OF
HER WITHOUT HER CONSENT.
SHE WOULD RESIGN WEEKS LATER IN 
THE MIDDLE OF AN ETHICS PROBE 
OVER A RELATIONSHIP WITH A 
CAMPAIGN STAFFER.
SHE'S NOW THE AUTHOR OF A NEW 
BOOK CALLED "SHE WILL RISE" AND 
WE'RE GOING TO TALK TO HER IN 
JUST A MOMENT. 
>>> BUT FIRST, WE WANT TO PLAY 
YOU SOME OF HER SPEECH ON THE 
DAY OF HER RESIGNATION HOW SHE 
HOPED HER EXPERIENCE WOULD 
EMPOWER OTHER WOMEN. 
>> YES, I'M STEPPING DOWN.
BUT I REFUSE TO LET THIS 
EXPERIENCE SCARE OFF OTHER WOMEN
WHO DARE TO TAKE RISKS, WHO DARE
TO STEP INTO THIS LIGHT, WHO 
DARE TO BE POWERFUL.
IT MIGHT FEEL LIKE THEY WON IN 
THE SHORT TERM BUT THEY CAN'T IN
THE LONG TERM.
WE CANNOT LET THEM.
THE WAY TO OVERCOME THIS SETBACK
IS FOR WOMEN TO KEEP SHOWING UP,
TO KEEP RUNNING FOR OFFICE, TO 
KEEP STEPPING UP AS LEADERS, 
BECAUSE THE MORE WE SHOW UP, THE
LESS POWER THEY HAVE. 
>> AND FORMER CONGRESSWOMAN KATY
HILL JOINS US NOW AND IS OUT 
WITH A NEW BOOK, SHE WILL RISE, 
"THE NEW YORK TIMES" CALLING IT 
POLITICAL MANIFESTO AS BATTLE 
PLAN AND WE'LL GET TO THAT IN 
JUST A MINUTE.
BUT SINCE YOU LEFT OFFICE LAST 
YEAR YOU STARTED A POLITICAL 
ACTION COMMITTEE TO HELP ELECT 
WOMEN IN OFFICE.
FIRST OFF, SPEAKING OF A WOMAN 
WHO DARES TO BE POWERFUL, I HAVE
TO GET YOUR REACTION TO JOE 
BIDEN CHOOSING CHAM LA HARRIS AS
VP, AND WELCOME. 
>> THANK YOU.
I WAS SO EXCITED ONCE KAMALA 
HARRIS WAS ANNOUNCED.
I WAS ONE OF HER EARLY 
SUPPORTERS IN HER PRESIDENTIAL 
CAMPAIGN SO, YOU KNOW, I WOULD 
CERTAINLY HAVE PREFERRED A 
HARRIS/BIDEN TICKET, BUT I WILL 
TAKE BIDEN/HARRIS AND I KNOW SHE
IS EXACTLY THE KIND OF, YOU 
KNOW, BRINGS THE ENERGY AND THE 
LEADERSHIP THAT WE NEED RIGHT 
NOW TO CARRY US THROUGH 
NOVEMBER. 
>> YOU'VE SPOKEN REPEATEDLY 
ABOUT A DOUBLE STANDARD THAT 
WOMEN FACE IN POLITICS, AND 
EVERYWHERE.
EVEN IN THE LEAD-UP TO BEING 
NAMED VP, KAMALA HARRIS WAS 
CALLED TOO AMBITIOUS BY MEN IN 
HER OWN PARTY AND THE PRESIDENT 
HAS CALLED HER NASTY AND A MAD 
WOMAN SINCE HER SELECTION.
WHAT'S YOUR ADVICE TO HER 
KNOWING WHAT YOU'VE BEEN 
THROUGH, AND WHAT OTHERS HAVE 
FACED?
>> WELL, SHE'S BEEN IN THIS 
BUSINESS A LOT LONGER THAN I 
HAVE.
I DON'T THINK SHE NEEDS MY 
ADVICE BUT SHE'S TOUGH AS NAILS.
THAT'S WHAT YOU HAVE TO BE.
YOU HAVE TO CALL IT OUT EVERY 
TIME YOU SEE IT.
I THINK THAT WITHIN THE MEDIA 
AND WITHIN, YOU KNOW, THE PUBLIC
SPHERE JUST GENERALLY SPEAKING 
WE'VE LEARNED A LOT SINCE 2016 
BUT WE STILL HAVE SO FAR TO GO 
IN TERMS OF THE DOUBLE STANDARDS
WOMEN ARE HELD TO.
SO I HOPE, I TALK ABOUT THIS SO 
MUCH IN THE BOOK THAT WE CAN SEE
THAT WE ARE NOT GOING TO USE 
THESE KINDS OF TERMS.
IF -- WHEN IT COMES TO MALE 
CANDIDATES OR TO, YOU KNOW, NO 
ONE'S GOING TO CALL MIKE PENCE 
TOO AMBITIOUS EVEN IF THAT 
WAS -- EVEN IF THAT'S EXACTLY 
WHAT HE WAS.
SO I THINK THAT THOSE ARE THINGS
THAT ARE SOCIALIZED WITHIN US, 
YOU KNOW, FROM SUCH AN EARLY 
AGE, AND WE HAVE TO 
INTENTIONALLY TRY TO STOP 
OURSELVES FROM THAT AND MAKE 
SURE THAT WE'RE FIGHTING AGAINST
IT EVERY STEP OF THE WAY. 
>> AND OFTEN CALLING IT OUT IS 
HALF THE BATTLE.
NOW WE'VE SEEN MANY MEN COME 
BACK FROM POLITICAL AND SEX 
SCANDALS.
WHY DO YOU THINK WOMEN HAVE FAR 
MORE DIFFICULT TIME REBOUNDING 
IN THAT SPEAR HERE AND WHAT NEEO
HAPPEN FOR THAT DOUBLE STANDARD 
TO CHANGE?
>> SURE, WELL WOMEN FIRST OF 
ALL, WE JUST DON'T HAVE EQUAL 
REPRESENTATION IN OFFICE.
WE'RE RELATIVELY NEW TO THE 
SPHERE OF RUNNING AND LEADING IN
THESE SEATS.
FOR EXAMPLE, DESPITE THE WHOLE 
YEAR OF THE WOMAN IN 2018, WE 
STILL MAKE UP 25% OF CONGRESS.
THAT'S HALF OF WHAT WE SHOULD 
HAVE IF WE WERE LOOKING AT, YOU 
KNOW, PROPORTIONAL TO OUR 
POPULATION.
SO WE'RE HELD TO THIS HIGHER 
STANDARD OF MORALITY, OF 
PERFORMANCE, OF, YOU KNOW, 
WHAT'S EXPECTED OF US EVERY STEP
OF THE WAY.
AND I THINK THAT, YOU KNOW, THAT
DOESN'T TOTALLY CHANGE UNTIL WE 
GET TO EQUAL REPRESENTATION.
BUT THE MORE IMPORTANT THING IS 
THAT WE HAVE TO, AGAIN, WE HAVE 
TO LOOK AT THAT EACH TIME AND 
SAY IS THIS HOW WE WOULD TREAT A
MAN?
AND I THINK, YOU KNOW, WE'RE 
SEEING THAT ALL THE TIME, EVEN 
WITH MY OWN CASE WHERE I'M 
ASKED, YOU KNOW, WHY HAVEN'T YOU
APOLOGIZED, WHY HAVEN'T YOU 
TAKEN COTABILITY?
I HAVE AND HOW IS THERE MORE 
ACCOUNTABILITY THAN STEPPING 
DOWN AND ALSO IF A MAN EVEN 
APOLOGIZES A LITTLE BIT, IF HE 
EVER SAYS ANYTHING ABOUT REMORSE
OR REGRET WE'RE CLAPPING FOR 
HIM, WE'RE SAYING, OH, MY GOSH, 
HE ACTUALLY APOLOGIZED, OWNED UP
FOR IT AND HERE I AM ALMOST A 
YEAR LATER HAVING DONE THESE 
THINGS, I'M A FRACTION OF AN 
EXAMPLE FOR WOMEN ALL OVER THE 
PLACE.
I DON'T THINK THAT WILL CHANGE 
UNTIL WE GET MORE WOMEN THERE, 
YOUNGER WOMEN WHOSE LIVES HAVE 
BEEN EXPOSED THROUGH SOCIAL 
MEDIA, WHO HAVE LIVED THEIR 
LIVES ONLINE AND WE CAN REALIZE 
THAT PEOPLE ARE HUMAN AND WE'RE 
GOING TO MAKE MISTAKES, I HOPE 
THAT MINE DON'T DISCOURAGE OTHER
WOMEN FROM RUNNING FOR OFFICE 
AND DON'T REFLECT ON ALL THE 
WOMEN WHO ARE GOING TO COME 
AFTER. 
>> I KNOW YOU TOLD GEORGE 
STEPHANOPOULOS IN FEBRUARY THAT 
YOUR RELATIONSHIP WITH A CAM 
CAMPAIGN STAFFER WAS ABSOLUTELY 
MY BIGGEST MISTAKE.
DID YOU REALIZE AT THE TIME THAT
IT WAS INAPPROPRIATE AND A 
POTENTIAL RISK TO YOUR WHOLE 
POLITICAL CAREER OR ONLY AFTER 
THE PHOTOS AND ARTICLES CAME 
OUT, LOOKING BACK, WHAT WOULD 
YOU DO DIFFERENTLY?
>> IT WAS SO EARLY ON IN THE 
CAMPAIGN AND IT WAS -- IT DIDN'T
EVEN SEEM LIKE A POSSIBILITY 
THAT I WAS GOING TO GET ELECTED,
TO BE HONEST WITH YOU.
SO YES, MY LIFE -- MY LIFE WAS 
IN A STRANGE -- A VERY STRANGE 
PLACE, MY RELATIONSHIP WAS IN A 
VERY STRANGE PLACE AT THAT POINT
AND I ABSOLUTELY REGRET IT.
I REGRET NOT SETTING THOSE 
BOUNDARIES FROM THE VERY 
BEGINNING.
THAT'S WHAT -- YOU KNOW, OF 
COURSE THAT'S WHAT I WOULD DO 
OVER.
BUT AT THE SAME TIME I STILL -- 
YOU KNOW, I STILL CARE DEEPLY 
ABOUT THE WOMAN THAT I WAS 
INVOLVED WITH, AND I HOPE THAT 
HER LIFE IS ABLE TO MOVE ON FROM
EVERYTHING THAT THIS HAS BROUGHT
ON HER. 
>> LET'S DIG DEEPLY INTO YOUR 
BOOK, "SHE WILL RISE" WHICH WE 
SHOULD MENTION IS OUT THIS WEEK.
I WANT TO READ A PASSAGE ABOUT 
THOSE DIFFICULT DARK DAYS AFTER 
THE PHOTOS WERE RELEASED.
YOU WROTE, I WOULD START 
SHAKING, CRYING, THROWING UP.
IT WAS HARD TO TALK TO MY FAMILY
BECAUSE I KNEW THEY WERE GOING 
THROUGH SO MUCH TOO.
I DIDN'T WANT TO TALK TO MY 
FRIENDS BECAUSE I WAS 
HUMILIATED.
I DIDN'T WANT TO HEAR MORE PITY.
AND I JUST DIDN'T KNOW WHAT TO 
SAY.
YOU EVEN WRITE THAT YOU HAD 
SUICIDAL THOUGHTS.
HOW HARD IS IT STILL TO TALK 
ABOUT ALL THIS, AND WAS THIS 
BOOK A WAY OF HELPING YOU WITH 
HEALING?
>> YEAH, GOING THROUGH THE -- I 
WRITE IN THE BOOK IS A WAY TO 
WORK THROUGH A LOT OF THIS.
I'VE GOT TO BE HONEST WITH YOU, 
I'VE DONE A LOT OF INTERVIEWS 
THE PAST WEEK LEADING UP TO THE 
LAUNCH AND AFTER THE BOOK HAS 
BEEN PUBLISHED AND EVERY SINGLE 
DAY YOU FEEL WORN OUT FROM 
TALKING ABOUT OVER AND OVER 
AGAIN.
IT'S RETRAUMATIZING.
I HAD A REALLY TRAUMATIC YEAR IN
A LOT OF OTHER WAYS TOO.
MY BROTHER PASSED AWAY SUDDENLY 
IN JANUARY, JUST TWO MANTS AFTER
I HAD TO RESIGN.
MY MOM HAD BRAIN SURGERY AND, OF
COURSE, YOU KNOW ALL OF US ARE 
GOING THROUGH THE TRAUMA OF 
2020.
SO IT DID PUT THINGS INTO 
PERSPECTIVE.
BUT IT'S -- I THINK IT -- YOU 
KNOW, WHAT I'VE REALLY LEARNED 
IS THAT I NEED TO FIND A WAY, 
PERSONALLY, TO MAKE MEANING OF 
THE THINGS THAT HAPPENED TO ME 
AND TO FIND A WAY OF TRYING TO, 
YOU KNOW, REALLY DO SOMETHING 
WITH MY LIFE FROM HERE.
AND TRY TO MAKE SURE THAT THIS 
IS NOT -- WHAT HAPPENED TO ME 
LAST YEAR, AND THE MISTAKES THAT
I'VE MADE, ARE NOT WHAT DEFINE 
ME AS A PERSON AND THAT IT'S A 
BLIP IN MY LIFE INSTEAD OF THE 
ENTIRE THING THAT I'M REMEMBERED
FOR. 
>> THAT IS A LOT OF LOSS TO 
SUSTAIN IN ONE YEAR AND I'M SO 
SORRY FOR YOUR LOSS.
I DO WANT TO GET TO YOUR MESSAGE
IN THE BOOK TO WOMEN, WHAT 
MESSAGE DO YOU HAVE TO THEM AS 
THEY'RE FACING THE PROSPECT OF 
EITHER GETTING INVOLVED IN 
POLITICS OR PERHAPS EVEN RUNNING
FOR OFFICE?
>> THE MESSAGE IS -- IT'S PRETTY
SIMPLE.
WE ARE, AS WOMEN, JUST EXISTING 
IN DAY-TO-DAY SOCIETY.
WE ARE ALREADY WARRIORS IN THIS 
FIGHT, WHETHER WE WANT TO BE OR 
NOT, WE'RE LIVING THROUGH THESE 
SYSTEMS THAT CONTINUALLY OPPRESS
AND HOLD US BACK.
ONE IN FOUR WOMEN IS GOING TO OR
HAS EXPERIENCED SEXUAL VIOLENCE 
IN THEIR LIFETIME.
EQUAL PAY IS IMPOSSIBLE TO 
ACHIEVE.
THE POVERTY THAT WOMEN FACE IS 
COMPLETELY UNEQUAL.
AND SO, YOU KNOW, MY REAL POINT 
OF THE BOOK IS THAT IT'S GOING 
TO TAKE US TRULY STANDING UP AND
CLAIMING OUR PLACE IN THIS FIGHT
AND SAYING THAT WE'RE NOT GOING 
TO PUT UP WITH IT ANYMORE AND WE
KNOW, WE HAVE A PLAN, WE HAVE A 
BATTLE PLAN, WE KNOW THE FIRST 
THING WE HAVE TO DO IS TO ELECT 
WOMEN TO GET TO THE PLACE OF 
EQUAL REPRESENTATION.
AND ONCE, YOU KNOW, AND EVEN 
BEFORE THEN BUT ALSO ONCE WOMEN 
ARE THERE THERE IS A SET OF, YOU
KNOW, LEGISLATION THAT IS GOING 
TO HAVE A TREMENDOUS IMPACT ON 
ALL OF THESE DIFFERENT SYSTEMIC 
BARRIERS.
BUT THAT NEEDS TO BE 
PRIORITIZED.
AND I DON'T BELIEVE WILL BE 
TRULY PRIORITIZED UNTIL WE HAVE 
ENOUGH WOMEN HOLDING POSITIONS 
OF POWER.
