THANKS FOR STREAMING WITH US.
TWO MONTHS FROM ELECTION DAY AND
LIKE 2016 THE U.S. ISN'T THE 
ONLY COUNTRY IN INVOLVED IN OUR 
RACE OF THE WHITE HOUSE.
INTELLIGENCE IS TELLING US 
RUSSIA IS ONCE GENS SEEKING TO 
INTERFERE IN OUR ELECTION.
THE DEPARTMENT OF HOMELAND 
SECURITY WITHHELD A BULLETIN 
WARNING ABOUT POSSIBLE RUSSIAN 
INTERFERENCE INTENDED TO HURT 
JOE BIDEN AND HELP PRESIDENT 
TRUMP.
IT WAS DUE TO GO OUT TO LAW 
ENFORCEMENT IN JULY.
NEARLY TWO MONTHS LATER IT STILL
HASN'T BEEN RELEASED.
RAISING QUESTIONS ABOUT HOW THE 
TRUMP ADMINISTRATION IS DEALING 
WITH RUSSIAN MEDDLING.
SO WHAT'S BEHIND THE MOVE AND 
WHAT DOES IT MEAN FOR THE RACE 
FOR THE WHITE HOUSE?
HERE'S ABC'S CHIEF WHITE HOUSE 
CORRESPONDENT JOHN KARL?
>> IT WAS MEANT TO BE A WARNING,
AN INTELLIGENCE BULLETIN FROM 
THE DEPARTMENT OF HOMELAND 
SECURITY ALERTING LOCAL, STATE 
AND FEDERAL LAW ENFORCEMENT TO A
RUSSIAN SCHEME TO DAMAGE JOE 
BIDEN'S CAMPAIGN, BY SPREADING 
MISINFORMATION THAT BIDEN ISN'T 
MENTALLY FIT TO BE PRESIDENT.
IT WARNED OF THE RUSSIANS 
SPREADING A MESSAGE SIMILAR TO 
THE ONE PRESIDENT TRUMP HAS 
PROMOTED HIMSELF. 
>> JOE'S NOT ALL THERE, 
EVERYBODY KNOWS IT. 
>> Reporter: THE DRAFT DHS 
BULLETIN WARNS RUSSIA IS LIKELY 
TO CONTINUE DENIGRATING 
CANDIDATES THROUGH POOR PHYSICAL
OR MENTAL HEALTH THROUGH THE 
OUTCOME OF THE 2020 ELECTION.
IT CITES STORIES FROM SEPTEMBER 
2018 UNTIL MAY OF THIS YEAR 
CLAIMING WITHOUT EVIDENCE THAT 
JOE BIDEN'S VERBAL MISCUES ARE 
SYMPTOMS OF DEMENTIA.
RAISED QUESTIONS ABOUT PRESIDENT
TRUMP'S MENTAL FITNESS.
ACCORDING TO AN EMAIL OBTAINED 
BY ABC NEWS THE BULLETIN WAS 
SUPPOSED TO GO OUT ON JULY 9th 
BUT IT NEVER DID.
THE CHIEF OF STAFF TO ACTING 
SECRETARY OF HOMELAND SECURITY 
CHAD WOLF PUT THE BRAKES ON, 
WRITING, PLEASE HOLD ON SENDING 
THIS ONE OUT UNTIL YOU HAVE A 
CHANCE TO SPEAK TO AS 1.
AS 1 IS ACTING SECRETARY WOLF.
THAT WAS NEARLY TWO MONTHS AGO 
AND THE BULLETIN STILL HASN'T 
GONE OUT. 
>> THE PRESIDENT DOESN'T WANT 
CONGRESS OR THE AMERICAN PEOPLE 
INFORMED ABOUT RUSSIAN EFFORTS 
TO HELP HIS CAMPAIGN.
THE WITHHOLDING OF THIS DOCUMENT
IS JUST THE LATEST AND MOST 
GRAPHIC EVIDENCE OF THAT 
FUNDAMENTAL PROBLEM. 
>> A DHS SPOKESPERSON 
ACKNOWLEDGES THE BULLETIN WAS 
WITHHELD, TELLING ABC NEWS IT, 
QUOTE, LACKED NECESSARY CONTEXT,
AND EVIDENCE FOR BROADER 
DISSEMINATION.
THE SPOKESPERSON ALSO NOTES THAT
DHS DID SHARE THREE OTHER 
REPORTS ON ELECTION SECURITY, 
WITH STATE AND LOCAL LAW 
ENFORCEMENT.
>>> AND JOHN KARL JOINS ME NOW, 
YOU AND I BOTH COVERED THE WHITE
HOUSE AND WE ON A REGULAR BASIS 
HEAR THE PRESIDENT MAKE THESE 
DISPARAGING MARKS ABOUT BIDEN'S 
MENTAL STATE OF HEALTH.
IS THERE ANY CONCERN AT THE 
WHITE HOUSE THAT RUSSIA AND THE 
PRESIDENT ARE AMPLIFYING THE 
SAME MESSAGE?
>> FRANKLY, I DON'T HEAR ANY 
CONCERN ABOUT THAT.
BUT YOU ARE EXACTLY RIGHT, KYRA,
THIS IS A MESSAGE THAT THE 
PRESIDENT HAS BEEN PUTTING OUT 
THERE HIMSELF.
IN FACT, I WOULD ARGUE IT'S BEEN
A CENTRAL MESSAGE OF HIS 
CAMPAIGN'S LINE OF ATTACK 
AGAINST JOE BIDEN.
IT'S INTERESTING.
IT'S NOT THAT HE GOT THE IDEA 
FROM THE RUSSIANS.
IF YOU LOOK AT THIS REPORT THE 
REPORT GIVES A TIMELINE FROM 
SEPTEMBER OF LAST YEAR UNTIL MAY
OF THIS YEAR, A SERIES OF 
EXAMPLES OF THE RUSSIANS TRYING 
TO RAISE QUESTIONS ABOUT BIDEN'S
MENTAL HEALTH.
OBVIOUSLY THE PRESIDENT WAS 
DOING IT LONG BEFORE THEN.
SO IT MAY BE A MATTER OF ECHOING
THE SAME MESSAGE, NOT GETTING 
THE IDEA CERTAINLY FROM THE 
RUSSIANS. 
>> I ALWAYS REMEMBER THAT QUOTE,
HE SAYS JOE BIDEN'S LOSING HIS 
FAST BALL.
THAT'S THE ONE LINE, JOHN, HE 
ALWAYS SAYS, RIGHT. 
>> GOES BACK A LONG TIME
>> YES, IT DOES.
ALL RIGHT, SO HOW ARE DEMOCRATS 
IN WASHINGTON AND THE BIDEN 
CAMPAIGN RESPONDING TO DHS 
WITHHOLDING THIS BULLETIN YOU'VE
TALKED ABOUT?
>> WELL, THE BIDEN CAMPAIGN IS 
BLASTING AND ACCUSING THE TRUMP 
ADMINISTRATION OF MANIPULATING 
INTELLIGENCE OF KEEPING 
INTELLIGENCE FROM GETTING OUT 
THERE THAT WOULD BE NECESSARY TO
PROTECT THE INTEGRITY OF THE 
ELECTION.
WE ALSO HEARD FROM ADAM SCHIFF, 
THE CHAIRMAN OF THE HOUSE 
INTELLIGENCE COMMITTEE, WHO SAYS
THIS IS ALARMING AND SAYS THAT 
HE IS ASKING FOR ANSWERS FROM 
DHS AS TO WHY THIS WAS WITHHELD.
KYRA?
>> WE'LL STAY ON IT, THANKS, 
JOHN. 
>>> FOR MORE LET'S BRING IN JOHN
CO HEN, WHO SERVED AS 
UNDERSECRETARY DURING THE OBAMA 
ADMINISTRATION.
GREAT TO SEE YOU, JOHN.
EXPLAIN WHAT CONCERNS YOU MOST 
ABOUT THIS REPORT THAT DHS 
WITHHELD THE PUBLICATION OF THIS
INTEL WARNING ABOUT RUSSIAN 
EFFORTS AGAINST JOE BIDEN?
>> WELL, THERE'S A FEW THINGS 
THAT CONCERN ME.
ONE, WHEN AN INTELLIGENCE 
COMMUNITY OR A LAW ENFORCEMENT 
COMPONENT WITHIN THE DEPARTMENT,
OR WORKING WITHIN THE GOVERNMENT
MORE BROADLY DEVELOPS A REPORT, 
AN INTELLIGENCE PRODUCT BASED ON
THEIR ANALYSIS OF THREAT RELATED
INFORMATION, THAT REPORT SHOULD 
NOT BE ALTERED OR WITHHELD 
BECAUSE IT DOESN'T MEET THE 
POLITICAL NARRATIVE OF AN 
ADMINISTRATION, OR THAT IT MAY 
MAKE PEOPLE IN THE 
ADMINISTRATION, INCLUDING THE 
PRESIDENT, UNCOMFORTABLE.
AND THE CIRCUMSTANCES YOU 
DESCRIBED HAVE OCCURRED WITHIN A
TIME PERIOD WHERE WE'RE HEARING 
MORE AND MORE PUBLIC REPORTS 
THAT INTELLIGENCE COMMUNITY 
REPORTS ARE BEING BLOCKED OR 
ALTERED BY POLITICAL APPOINTEES 
WHO WORK OUTSIDE OF THE 
INTELLIGENCE COMMUNITY BECAUSE 
THEY'RE SCARED OR NERVOUS THAT 
THE REPORTS WOULD ANGER THE 
PRESIDENT OR THAT THE MESSAGE IS
INCONSISTENT WITH THE POLITICAL 
NARRATIVE.
ON AN OPERATIONAL BASIS MY REAL 
CONCERN IS THAT THE ELECTION IS 
JUST AROUND THE CORNER.
WE HAVE BEEN WARNED BY THE 
INTELLIGENCE COMMUNITY AND BY 
LAW ENFORCEMENT AUTHORITIES THAT
RUSSIA AND OTHER ADVERSARIAL 
NATIONS SEEK TO INTERVENE OR 
INTERFERE IN THAT ELECTION.
ONE OF THE TECHNIQUES THEY'RE 
USING IS TO SPREAD 
DISINFORMATION AND CONSPIRACY 
THEORIES, INACCURATE INFORMATION
INTENDED TO CONFUSE THE PUBLIC, 
TO INFLUENCE VOTER OPINION.
AND ONE OF THE WAYS THAT WE 
COUNTERACT THAT TYPE OF 
DISINFORMATION CAMPAIGN IS BY 
PUBLICLY RELEASING INFORMATION 
ABOUT HOW THEY'RE SPREADING THE 
DISINFORMATION AND THE CONTENT 
OF THE DISINFORMATION CAMPAIGN.
WE SHOULD BE SHARING THAT 
INFORMATION WITH CONGRESS, WITH 
STATE AND LOCAL AUTHORITIES, 
WITH THE POLITICAL PARTIES, THE 
CANDIDATES AND WITH THE PUBLIC.
SO WHEN PEOPLE OUT THERE SEE 
INFORMATION ON SOCIAL MEDIA OR 
HEAR IT FROM MEDIA SOURCES AND 
WE KNOW IT'S DISINFORMATION FROM
RUSSIA OR ANY OTHER COUNTRY THEY
CAN DISREGARD THAT INFORMATION. 
>> WELL, LET'S GET BACK TO THE 
POLITICS FOR A MINUTE BECAUSE 
IT'S A BIT CONCERNING.
WHAT ARE YOU HEARING, IF 
ANYTHING, FROM OFFICIALS INSIDE 
THE DEPARTMENT OF HOMELAND 
SECURITY RIGHT NOW AND IS THERE 
A CONCERN THAT THESE INTEL 
WARNINGS ARE BEING USED FOR 
POLITICAL PURPOSES, THAT THEY 
ARE BEING WITHHELD AND THEY ARE 
BEING ALTERED FOR THE SAKE OF 
POLITICS?
>> WELL, IF WE LOOK BACK OVER 
THE PAST THREE, THREE AND A HALF
YEARS, WE HAVE SEEN A PATTERN 
WITH THE DEPARTMENT.
WE'VE SEEN OPERATIONAL 
PRIORITIES MODIFIED AND 
RESOURCES DIVERTED AWAY FROM 
SIGNIFICANT AND SERIOUS THREATS 
SO THEY COULD BE APPLIED TO 
SUPPORTING THE PRESIDENT'S 
POLITICAL PRIORITIES, SUCH AS 
BUILDING WALL.
WE HAVE JUST MORE RECENTLY WE'VE
HEARD INACCURATE INFORMATION, OR
AT LEAST SKEWED INFORMATION 
REGARDING THE VIOLENCE 
ACCOMPANYING PROTESTS IN CITIES 
AROUND THE COUNTRY.
SO, YOU KNOW, THERE SEEMS TO BE 
A PATTERN AND IT HAS A NUMBER OF
LAW ENFORCEMENT AND HOMELAND 
SECURITY PROFESSIONALS VERY 
CONCERNED THAT THE OPERATIONS OF
THE DEPARTMENT AND THE 
INTELLIGENCE COMING FROM THE 
DEPARTMENT MAY BE UNDULY 
INFLUENCED BY THE POLITICAL 
ELEMENTS OF THE GOVERNMENT. 
>> WELL, AS YOU JUST HEARD IN 
JOHN KARL'S REPORT HE SAID THAT 
PRESIDENT TRUMP AS WELL AS HIS 
CAMPAIGN ON A REGULAR BASIS 
SPREAD DISINFORMATION ABOUT JOE 
BIDEN'S MENTAL STATE, HIS MENTAL
ABILITY, AS PART OF THEIR 
CAMPAIGN PUSH TO DISCREDIT HIM.
DO YOU THINK THAT'S A 
DISTRACTION TECHNIQUE HERE, NOT 
THAT THAT SHOULD BE ANY EXCUSE, 
BUT IT KIND OF DETERS THE 
MESSAGE A BIT FROM THESE RUSSIAN
INTERFERENCE EFFORTS. 
>> YEAH, I MEAN, THAT'S A GOOD 
POINT.
I MEAN, I GUESS I WOULD ANSWER 
IT THIS WAY, WE KNOW THAT SINCE 
2016 RUSSIA HAD CONTINUED ITS 
EFFORTS AND EXPANDED BEYOND 
ELECTION INTERFERENCE BUT 
THEY'RE ACTIVELY TRYING TO 
INCITE VIOLENCE, SOW DISCORD 
ACROSS OUR POP LUS, UNDERMINE 
CREDIBILITY AND KFTD IN OUR 
GOVERNMENT.
DISRUPT OUR RELATIONSHIP WITH 
OUR KEY ALLIES AND THEY'RE USING
THE SPREADING OF CONSPIRACY 
THEORIES AND DISINFORMATION 
CAMPAIGNS.
THOSE WHO UNDERSTAND HOW RUSSIA 
AND A GROWING NUMBER OF 
ADVERSARIES OPERATE IN 
CONDUCTING THESE DISINFORMATION 
CAMPAIGNS KNOW IT'S DEVELOPING 
FALSE INFORMATION, SPREADING IT 
INITIALLY THROUGH SOCIAL MEDIA, 
USING FAKE PLAT FORMS, FAKE 
WEB-BASED OR ONLINE PLATFORMS 
THAT APPEAR TO BE THE MEDIA 
SOURCES TO SPREAD IT MORE 
BROADLY AND HOPEFULLY HAVE 
MAINSTREAM POLITICAL CANDIDATES,
GOVERNMENT OFFICIALS AND EVEN 
THOSE WHO ARE CONTRIBUTORS ON 
NEWS STATIONS ECHO THAT 
DISINFORMATION SO IT BECOMES 
PART OF THE MAINSTREAM POLITICAL
DISCOURSE. 
>> I'LL TELL YOU WHAT, JOHN, I 
COVERED THE WHITE HOUSE, AS YOU 
KNOW AND ON A REGULAR BASIS NOT 
ONLY DO I HAVE TO CARRY OUT MY 
JOB AS A JOURNALIST BUT I AM A 
FACT CHECKER EVERY DAY AND ALL 
DAY.
IT'S QUITE A DIFFERENT WORLD 
RIGHT NOW WHEN IT COMES TO 
COVERING THIS ADMINISTRATION ON 
SO MANY LEVELS.
JOHN COHEN, ALWAYS APPRECIATE 
TALKING TO YOU AND GETTING YOUR 
INSIGHT.
THANKS SO MUCH. 
>> NICE TO BE WITH YOU. 
>>> AND STAYING ON THE RACE FOR 
THE WHITE HOUSE TODAY JOE BIDEN 
TRYING TO REFRAME THE DEBATE ON 
CORONAVIRUS IN SCHOOLS, AT A 
SOCIALLY DISTANCED EVENT IN 
DELAWARE.
WHILE PRESIDENT TRUMP GREETED 
SUPPORTERS AT THE AIRPORT IN 
WILMINGTON, NORTH CAROLINA THE 
CROWD PACKED CLOSE TOGETHER, 
MOST OF THEM WITHOUT MASKS, 
ABC'S MARY BRUCE HAS THE LATEST 
FROM THE CAMPAIGN TRAIL.
>> Reporter: AS PRESIDENT TRUMP 
TRIES TO MAKE THIS ELECTION 
ABOUT LAW AND ORDER JOE BIDEN 
TODAY WAS EAGER TO TURN THE 
FOCUS BACK TO THE PANDEMIC. 
>> PRESIDENT TRUMP MAY NOT THINK
HIS -- THIS IS A NATIONAL 
EMERGENCY.
BUT I THINK GOING BACK TO SCHOOL
FOR MILLIONS OF CHILDREN AND THE
IMPACTS ON THEIR FAMILIES AND 
THE COMMUNITY IS A NATIONAL 
EMERGENCY. 
>> BIDEN PLACED THE BLAME 
SQUARELY ON THE PRESIDENT. 
>> IF PRESIDENT TRUMP AND HIS 
ADMINISTRATION HAD DONE THEIR 
JOBS EARLY ON WITH THIS CRISIS, 
AMERICAN SCHOOLS WOULD BE OPEN 
AND THEY'D BE OPEN SAFELY. 
>> OUTLINING HIS PLAN TO GET 
KIDS BACK IN CLASSROOMS BUT 
UNTIL THEN -- 
>> MILLIONS OF PARENTS ACROSS 
THE COUNTRY ARE FACING THIS VERY
IMPOSSIBLE TASK OF TRYING TO 
WORK FULL-TIME AND HELP THEIR 
CHILDREN FULL-TIME TO LEARN 
VIRTUALLY.
WHAT IS YOUR MESSAGE TO THESE 
PARENTS?
>> HELP IS ON THE WAY.
BUT I'M NOT PRESIDENT RIGHT NOW.
>> Reporter: BIDEN IS CALLING 
FOR UNIVERSAL CDC GUIDELINES TO 
HELP CHILD CARE CENTERS OPEN 
SAFELY. 
>> MAKING SURE THEY'RE SAFE AND 
HEALTHY NOW IS EQUALLY AS 
IMPORTANT. 
>> HE'S STEPPING UP HIS TRAVEL, 
TOMORROW VISITING KENOSHA, 
WISCONSIN IN THE WAKE OF THE 
POLICE SHOOTING OF JACOB BLAKE.
PRESIDENT TRUMP WAS IN KENOSHA 
YESTERDAY.
TODAY HE WAS IN NORTH CAROLINA 
AND THE CONTRAST BETWEEN THE TWO
CAMPAIGNS COULD NOT BE MORE 
CLEAR.
THE PRESIDENT GREETED THRONGS OF
TIGHTLY PACKED SUPPORTERS 
WITHOUT MASKS. 
>> I THINK WE'RE ROUNDING THE 
TURN ON THIS CHINA VIRUS. 
>> BUT AS HIS SUPPORTERS CLUST 
TERRED CLOSELY TOGETHER METAL 
BARRIERS MADE SURE THE PRESIDENT
HIMSELF KEPT HIS DISTANCE. 
>> MARY BRUCE JOINS ME NOW.
MARY, PRESIDENT TRUMP DID NOT 
MEET WITH THE FAMILY OF JACOB 
BLAKE WHEN HE VISITED KENOSHA 
YESTERDAY, WHAT'S JOE BIDEN 
PLANNING ON TOMORROW?
>> Reporter: WELL, JOE BIDEN AND
HIS WIFE WILL BE DOING WHAT THE 
PRESIDENT DID NOT.
THEY DO PLAN TO SIT DOWN AND 
MEET WITH JACOB BLAKE'S FATHER 
AND OTHER MEMBERS OF THE FAMILY.
THE FORMER VICE PRESIDENT TODAY 
SAYING THAT HE VIEWS THIS TRIP 
AS AN OPPORTUNITY TO TRY AND 
BEGIN TO HEAL THE NATION GOING 
FORWARD.
KYRA?
>> SO ARE WE SEEING THE VICE 
PRESIDENT -- ACTUALLY, WE'RE 
SEEING THE VICE PRESIDENT OUT A 
BIT MORE NOW.
I GUESS THE REAL QUESTION IS 
WILL HE TRAVEL MORE IN THE 
COMING DAYS AND WEEKS AHEAD?
>> Reporter: HE CERTAINLY IS 
RAMPING THINGS UP.
HE WAS IN PENNSYLVANIA EARLIER 
THIS WEEK.
TOMORROW, OF COURSE, IN 
WISCONSIN.
AND WE SHOULD REMIND EVERYONE 
THIS IS A KEY BATTLEGROUND.
IT IS A STATE THAT HILLARY 
CLINTON INFAMOUSLY DID NOT VISIT
IN 2016, AND THEN LOST.
SO THAT'S A MISTAKE THAT JOE 
BIDEN IS TRYING TO AVOID.
HE ALSO HAS SAID THAT HE'S 
LOOKING AT VISITS TO OTHER 
CRITICAL STATES, POSSIBLY 
ARIZONA, MINNESOTA SO THERE ARE 
PLACES THAT THE BIDEN CAMPAIGN 
IS TRYING TO GET ON THE GROUND 
IN BUT OF COURSE THEY SAID THEY 
WILL ONLY DO SO IF THEY COB IN 
ACCORDANCE WITH THE LOCAL 
GUIDELINES.
KYRA. 
>> MARY, THANKS SO MUCH. 
>>> TO THE CORONAVIRUS AND A 
POSSIBLE SIGN OF HOPE.
THE CDC SAYS STATES SHOULD BE 
READY TO DISTRIBUTE A VACCINE TO
SOME GROUPS BY NOVEMBER 1st.
THIS, AS WE'RE SEEING MORE CASES
ON COLLEGE CAMPUSES AND 
CLASSROOMS, WHERE SOCIAL 
DISTANCING SEEMS OPTIONAL.
AND THE NEW CONCERNS AS WE HEAD 
INTO LABOR DAY WEEKEND, WELL 
VICTOR OQUENDO HAS THE LATEST 
FROM THERE. 
>> Reporter: TONIGHT THE CDC 
DIRECTOR URGING GOVERNORS IN ALL
50 STATES TO GET READY BY 
NOVEMBER 1st TO HELP WITH THE 
RELEASE OF A POSSIBLE VACCINE.
DR. ROBERT REDFIELD SAYING IN A 
LETTER OBTAINED BY ABC NEWS THE 
GOVERNMENT IS MAKING 
PREPARATIONS TO IMPLEMENT LARGE 
SCALE DISTRIBUTION OF COVID-19 
VACCINES IN THE FALL OF 2020.
THAT LETTER DATED THE SAME DAY 
THE PRESIDENT PROMISED A VACCINE
AT THE REPUBLICAN CONVENTION. 
>> WE ARE DELIVERING LEIF-SAVING
THERAPIES AND WILL PRODUCE A 
VACCINE BEFORE THE END OF THE 
YEAR, OR MAYBE EVEN SOONER.
>> Reporter: CRITICS WORRY A 
VACCINE MIGHT BE RUSHED BUT THE 
WHITE HOUSE SAYS THE TIMING HAS 
NOTHING TO DO WITH THE ELECTION.
EARLIER DR. ANTHONY FAUCI SAID 
HE THINKS THAT A SAFE VACCINE 
WILL BE IDENTIFIED BY THE END OF
THE YEAR. 
>> 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: THE VIRUS HAS 
KILLED 185,000 AMERICANS, AND IS
NOW TRIGGERING NEW OUTBREAKS.
COLLEGES ARE QUARANTINING 
THOUSANDS OF STUDENTS. 
>> I BELIEVE I'M ON DAY SIX OF 
QUARANTINING. 
>> Reporter: SOME SCHOOLS LIKE 
CAROLINA STATE AND GEORGE 
MADISON ARE SENDING STUDENTS 
HOME. 
>> WE FELT BLIND SIDED, DUE TO 
THE FACT WE DIDN'T KNOW. 
>> Reporter: DR. FAUCI WARNS 
IT'S THE WRONG APPROACH. 
>> IT'S THE WORST THING YOU CAN 
DO.
KEEP THEM AT THE UNIVERSITY IN A
PLACE THAT'S SEQUESTERED ENOUGH 
FROM THE OTHER STUDENTS BUT 
DON'T HAVE THEM GO HOME BECAUSE 
THEY COULD BE SPREADING IT IN 
THEIR HOME STATE. 
>> Reporter: A FRESHMAN FOUND 
HIMSELF IN CLASS IN THIS CROWDED
BALLROOM. 
>> I'D SAY LIKE 20 STUDENTS ON 
EACH CORNER SITTING IN AN EIGHT 
BY EIGHT FOOT RADIUS HUDDLED 
TOGETHER ON THE GROUND BECAUSE 
THERE WERE NO SEATS LEFT. 
>> THIS CROWD OF STUDENTS AT A 
HIGH SCHOOL, SOME NOT WEARING 
MASKS.
THE DISTRICT SAYS THE CROWD 
QUICKLY DISPERSED.
EMERGENCY LEAVE WAS TAKEN 
BECAUSE THIS TEACHER DIDN'T FEEL
SAFE. 
>> YOU'VE WATCHED THE MOVIE THE 
TITANIC WHERE THE BAND PLAYED ON
THE DECK AS THE SHIP SUNK.
THAT'S MY ANALOGY. 
>> Reporter: DOCTORS A WRNG 
ABOUT THE RISKS. 
>> BACKYARD BARBECUES ARE FINE 
AS LONG AS THEY'RE NOT MASSIVE.
WHAT IF IT STARTS RAINING, DON'T
HAVE EVERYBODY COME INDOORS, GO 
TO THE BEACH BUT DON'T GO OUT TO
AN INDOOR DINING RESTAURANT 
AFTERWARD.
>> Reporter: TONIGHT ONE OF THE 
FIRST DEATHS TRACED TO LAST 
MONTH'S MOTORCYCLE RALLY THAT 
DREW A CROWD OF 400,000 IN SOUTH
DAKOTA, MANY WITHOUT MASKS, THAT
PATIENT A 60-YEAR-OLD BIKER FROM
MINNESOTA WITH UNDERLYING 
CONDITIONS.
SO FAR 260 CASES ACROSS 11 
STATES HAVE BEEN TRACED TO THE 
EVENT BUT EXPERTS SUSPECT THERE 
ARE MANY MORE. 
>> FOR MORE WE BRING IN VICTOR 
FROM MIAMI.
WHAT ELSE CAN YOU TELL US ABOUT 
THAT LETTER FROM THE CDC ABOUT A
POSSIBLE VACCINE BY NOVEMBER?
AND WHAT ARE THE CONCERNS?
>> Reporter: WELL, KYRA, THE 
TIMING DEFINITELY RAISES SOME 
QUESTIONS HERE BECAUSE IT IS SO 
CLOSE TO ELECTION DAY BUT THE 
DIRECTOR OF THE CDC INSISTS THE 
TIMELINE WILL NOT COMPROMISE THE
SAFETY OF THE VACCINE.
THERE IS NO GUARANTEE THAT A 
VACCINE WILL BE READY BY 
NOVEMBER 1st BUT THE CDC WANTS 
STATES TO BE READY TO DISTRIBUTE
IT.
WE HAVE BREAKING NEWS HERE, 
SENATE DEMOCRATS ARE CALLING ON 
THE HEADS OF THE FDA AND THE CDC
TO URGENTLY TESTIFY AND ANSWER 
QUESTIONS ABOUT POSSIBLE 
POLITICAL INTERFERENCE.
KYRA?
>> WE'LL FOLLOW IT ALL.
THANK YOU, VICTOR, SO MUCH. 
>>> ALL RIGHT, LET'S CONTINUE 
THE DISCUSSION NOW ABOUT 
COVID-19 CONCERNS, BRING IN DR. 
JOHN BROWNSTEIN, AN 
EPIDEMIOLOGIST, AND AN ABC NEWS 
MEDICAL CONTRIBUTOR.
DOCTOR, GREAT TO SEE YOU. 
>> GREAT TO SEE YOU TOO. 
>> WE'VE SEEN THOSE PICTURES OF 
CROWDED CLASSROOMS AND 
GATHERINGS ON COLLEGE CAMPUSES.
DR. ANTHONY FAUCI, OTHER HEALTH 
OFFICIALS HAVE SAID THAT 
INFECTED STUDENTS SHOULD BE 
ISOLATED AND NOT SENT HOME.
WHAT DO YOU THINK?
>> YEAH, I MEAN, I THINK THE 
REALITY IS THAT SCHOOLS SHOULD 
BE OPEN FOR IN-PERSON LEARNING 
WHERE IT'S POSSIBLE, RIGHT, IF 
TRANSMISSION IS KEPT LOW, IF THE
SCHOOLS ARE PREPARED WITH PROPER
VENTILATION AND SOCIAL 
DISTANCING AND MASK WEARING.
CLEARLY EVERYBODY HAS TO DO 
THEIR PART SO BIG LARGE 
GATHERINGS OF STUDENTS IN 
COLLEGES IS GOING TO LEAD TO 
FLARE-UPS OF OUTBREAKS.
AND CLEARLY WE ALSO HAVE TO 
FOCUS ON TESTING.
THOSE THAT ARE -- HAVE BEEN 
IDENTIFIED AS INFECTED NEED TO 
BE ISOLATED AND MOVE TO REMOTE 
LEARNING.
THAT'S THE ONLY WAY THESE 
SCHOOLS ARE GOING TO CONTINUE TO
BE ABLE TO OPERATE INTO THE FALL
AND EVEN MANY SCHOOLS ARE 
IMPLEMENTING TESTING PROGRAMS TO
TEST ASYMPTOMATIC KIDS AND 
IDENTIFY THOSE INFECTED, ISOLATE
THEM TO LIMIT RISKS TO THE REST 
OF THE SCHOOL POPULATION. 
>> WE'RE GETTING CONFLICTING 
INFORMATION ABOUT WHO SHOULD BE 
TESTED.
PROFESSIONAL ATHLETES ARE BEING 
TESTED, WHITE HOUSE OFFICIALS 
ARE BEING TESTED.
THAT'S JUST A COUPLE OF 
EXAMPLES.
WHAT ABOUT STUDENTS OR ANYONE 
ELSE WHO MIGHT BE ASYMPTOMATIC 
BUT HEADING BACK TO SCHOOL OR 
THE OFFICE?
>> THIS IS WHERE THE CHALLENGE 
OF THE NEW CDC GUIDELINES HAS 
CREATED A LOT OF CONFUSION.
THESE NEW GUIDELINES HAVE SAID 
THAT THOSE WHO ARE ASYMPTOMATIC 
DON'T NEED TO GET TESTED AND 
THAT FLIES IN THE FACE OF WHAT 
EXPERTS HAVE BEEN SAYING ALL 
ALONG.
TESTING IS THE BACKBONE TO 
GETTING OUT OF THE PANDEMIC ASK 
BEING ABLE TO TEST THOSE 
ASYMPTOMATIC IS CRITICAL BECAUSE
YOU CAN IDENTIFY PEOPLE 
POTENTIALLY TRANSMITTING THE 
VIRUS AND DON'T EVEN REALIZE IT.
SO BROAD SCALE TESTING PROGRAMS 
FOR EVERYONE, NOT JUST THOSE IN 
PROFESSIONAL SPORTS OR THE WHITE
HOUSE, IS REALLY THE WAY THAT 
WE'RE GOING TO BE ABLE TO 
SUCCESSFULLY OPEN UP SCHOOLS AND
OFFICES INTO THE FALL. 
>> SO ARE YOU HOPEFUL THAT WE'LL
SEE THINGS TURN AROUND BY THE 
WINTER AND ARE THERE ANY RRNS TO
BE CONCERNED ABOUT THIS 
POTENTIAL VACCINE?
>> I MEAN, THIS NEW CDC GUIDANCE
IS THE LATEST SIGN OF A REALLY 
ACCELERATING VACCINE DEVELOPMENT
PACE AND ON ONE HAND IT'S 
EXCITING TO SEE THIS PROGRESS 
BUT IT'S ALSO QUITE, YOU KNOW, 
AMBITIOUS, RIGHT, THE 
DISTRIBUTION OF MILLIONS OF 
VACCINES THAT NEED TO BE STORED 
AT SUBZERO TEMPERATURES, 
PROVIDED TO HIGH-RISK GROUPS, 
THAT'S A REALLY TALL ORDER AND 
ON TOP OF THAT WE NEED TO BE 
CAREFUL ABOUT RUSHING THIS 
VACCINE.
WE NEED AS MUCH DATA FROM PHASE 
THREE AS POSSIBLE TO UNDERSTAND 
ANY SAFETY SIGNALS.
ANY ISSUES WITH THIS VACCINE IS 
GOING TO UNDERMINE PUBLIC TRUST 
AND THAT IS SOMETHING THAT WE 
CAN'T GAIN BACK SO WE HAVE TO BE
INCREDIBLY CAREFUL.
THAT'S ON TOP OF THE CHALLENGES 
OF MAINTAINING COLD CHAIN AND 
ISSUES OF ADMINISTERING MULTIPLE
DOSESCH THESE ARE SERIOUS 
LOGISTICS CHALLENGES WE'RE GOING
TO HAVE TO DEAL WITH VERY SOON. 
>> THE WORLD HEALTH ORGANIZATION
HAS JUST RECOMMENDED THE USE OF 
THIS LOW-COST STEROID TO TREAT 
PATIENTS WITH SEVERE COVID-19 
CASES.
WHAT DO YOU THINK ABOUT THAT?
>> YEAH, SO THE W.H.O. PUBLISHED
A NEW GUIDANCE FOR CLINICIANS 
AND HEALTH CARE PROVIDERS ON USE
OF CORTICO STEROIDS IN PATIENTS.
CHEAP WIDELY AVAILABLE STEROIDS 
CAN HELP WITH THE SERIOUSLY ILL 
SURVIVE COVID-19.
AND SO WHAT'S EXCITING IS THIS 
IS REALLY PROVING OUT THAT 
STEROIDS CAN BE AN IMPORTANT 
FIRST LINE OF DEFENSE BUT IT'S 
ALSO IMPORTANT TO NOTE THIS IS 
FOR THE SEVERELY ILL, IT'S NOT 
ABOUT TREATING THOSE WITH MILD 
ILLNESS.
THOSE WITH MILD ILLNESS WE'RE 
STILL IN SEARCHES OF THE RIGHT 
TYPES OF TREATMENTS. 
>> DR. BROWNSTEIN, THERE'S BEEN 
DEBATE ABOUT THIS CDC REPORT 
FINDING THAT 94% OF PEOPLE WHO 
HAVE DIED FROM COVID ACTUALLY 
HAD AN UNDERLYING CONDITION.
IS THAT A BIT MISLEADING, DO YOU
THINK, PUT IT INTO PERSPECTIVE 
FOR US, HOW MANY AMERICANS HAVE 
THESE KIND OF UNDERLYING 
CONDITIONS AND IF WE THINK WE 
ARE HEALTHY, SHOULD WE BE LESS 
CONCERNED ABOUT GETTING 
INFECTED?
>> YEAH, WELL THIS CDC REPORT IS
BEING WIDELY MISINTERPRETED, YOU
KNOW, LOOK AT DEATH CERTIFICATES
AND NOTED THAT ONLY 6% OF THE 
DEATH CERTIFICATES AROUND COVID 
HAD COVID-ONLY AS THE CAUSE OF 
DEATH, ABOUT 9,000 PEOPLE.
THAT'S REALLY BEING 
MISINTERPRETED IN TWO WAYS, ONE 
THAT'S SAYING THAT ONLY 6% OF 
THE PEOPLE THAT WERE IDENTIFIED 
AS COVID HAD -- WERE INVOLVED IN
DEATH DUE TO COVID AND NUMBER 
TWO, THAT THOSE HAD PREEXISTING 
CONDITIONS SO THAT THOSE THAT 
DON'T HAVE PREEXISTING 
CONDITIONS AREN'T AT RISK AND 
BOTH OF THESE INTERPRETATIONS 
ARE NOT CORRECT.
FIRST OF ALL, IT'S VERY UNLIKELY
TO SEE A DEATH CERTIFICATE WITH 
MORE THAN ONE CAUSE OF -- 
WITHOUT MORE THAN ONE CAUSE OF 
DEATH.
ALL DEATH CERTIFICATES HAVE 
GENERALLY MULTIPLE CAUSES SO 
IT'S RARE TO SEE JUST A SINGLE 
CAUSE.
AND NUMBER TWO, WE KNOW THAT THE
UNDERLYING CONDITIONS ARE REALLY
SUCH A DRIVER OF HIGH-RISK 
OUTCOMES AROUND COVID BUT LET'S 
REMEMBER 45% OF AMERICANS HAVE 
UNDERLYING CONDITIONS AND MANY 
PEOPLE DON'T EVEN REALIZE THEY 
HAVE UNDERLYING CONDITIONS.
TO PUT THE RISK ONTO JUST VERY 
SMALL NUMBERS OF PEOPLE MAKES NO
SENSE.
WE ALL HAVE TO REMAIN VIGILANT 
AND REALLY BE CONCERNED ABOUT 
OUR OWN RISK AND THE RISK OF 
THOSE AROUND US WHEN IT COMES TO
COVID-19. 
>> DR. BROWNSTEIN, THANKS FOR 
YOUR INSIGHTS TONIGHT. 
>> THANK YOU.
>>> TURNING OVERSEAS NOW WHERE 
GERMANY SAYS THERE IS 
UNEQUIVOCAL PRUF THAT ALEXEI N
NOVALNY WAS POISONED WITH --

AGENT HAS BEEN BLAMED FOR A 
POISONING OF A RUSSIAN FOE.
NOVALNY WAS A PIERCE PUTIN 
CRITIC.
HOW IS THIS PLAYING BACK IN 
RUSSIA RIGHT NOW?
>> Reporter: THAT'S RIGHT, IT 
ISN'T THE FIRST TIME.
IT WAS A FAMOUS CASE OF THE 
SKRIPALS, THIS WAS HERE IN THE 
UK TWO YEARS AGO IN THE SOUTHERN
CITY OF SALISBURY, SERGEI 
SKRIPAL WAS A RUSSIAN DEFECTOR, 
LIVING DOWN THERE, INCOGNITO.
AGAIN THE SAME SUBSTANCE WAS 
USED TO TRY AND POISON HIM AND 
HIS DAUGHTER, THEY'RE BOTH 
SERIOUSLY ILL, A NUMBER OF 
PEOPLE WERE ILL IN THE TOWN, ONE
PERSON DIED FROM POISONING FROM 
IT BUT THE RESPONSE FROM THE 
KREMLIN HAS BEEN THE SAME THIS 
TIME AS IT WAS THEN.
IN OTHER WORDS, DENYING ALL 
RESPONSIBILITY.
AND SAYING THAT, YOU KNOW, THERE
IS NO REAL EVIDENCE THEY HAVE A 
DIFFERENT NARRATIVE AND THE 
QUESTION IS WHAT ON EARTH CAN BE
DONE ABOUT THAT. 
>> SEEN, I
 WE SAW ANGELA MERK 
RESPONSE AND THE U.S. SAYING 
THEY WILL HOLD THOSE IN RUSSIA 
ACCOUNTABLE.
AT THIS POINT IS THERE ANYTHING 
ANYONE CAN DO ABOUT THIS IF THE 
RUSSIANS JUST DENY INVOLVEMENT 
HERE?
>> EXACTLY RIGHT.
I MEAN, HOW DO YOU BRING THEM TO
ACCOUNT?
WHAT HAPPENED WITH THE SKRIPALS 
AND THIS MAY WELL BE USED AS A 
TEST SAYS IS THAT BRITISH 
INTELLIGENCE ACTUALLY IDENTIFIED
TWO MEMBERS OF RUSSIAN MILITARY 
INTELLIGENCE WHO WERE SEEN ON 
CCTV CAMERAS COMING INTO THE 
COUNTRY, CHECKING INTO A B&B, 
GOING TO SALISBURY AND THEY WERE
IDENTIFIED AS THE PERPETRATOR OF
THIS CRIME, ENDED UP ON RUSSIAN 
STATE INTELLIGENCE, SAYING THEY 
WERE JUST TOURISTS, HAD GONE 
DOWN TO SALISBURY TO SEE ITS 
CATHEDRAL, APPARENTLY FAMOUS, 
CAME AS NEWS TO THE RESIDENTS OF
THE TOWN, A COUNTRY THAT HAS 
MANY FAMOUS CATHEDRALS.
SALISBURY WASN'T ONE OF THEM.
IT SHOWS DISMISSIVE WAY THEY 
RESPONDED TO THE CLAIMS, LAUGHED
THEM OFF AND NO ONE IS HELD 
ACCOUNTABLE.
THOSE PEOPLE WHO SUPPORT NOVALNY
SEE THE USE AS A SIGNATURE MOVE 
BY THE KREMLIN, AND THEY'RE 
SAYING, LOOK, WE TOLD YOU SO. 
>> WHAT'S NOVALNY'S CURRENT 
CONDITION NOW, IS THERE HOPE HE 
CAN RECOVER?
>> WE CERTAINLY HOPE HE CAN 
RECOVER.
HIS CONDITION HAS IMPROVED 
SIGHTLY.
BUT IT'S STILL SERIOUS, 
REMAINING IN A COMA.
THE DOCTORS IN GERMANY ARE 
WARNING IT COULD TAKE A LONG 
TIME FOR HIM TO RECOVER, AND 
EVEN WHEN HE DOES HE MAY NOT BE 
HIMSELF AGAIN.

WATCHING POLICE BODY CAMERA 
SHOWING OFFICERS FROM TWINSBURG,
OHIO DIGGING THROUGH THE 
WRECKAGE OF A PRETTY HORRIBLE 
ACCIDENT LOOKING FOR A CHILD.
POLICE SAY THE DRIVER TOLD THEM 
SHE LOST CONTROL AFTER GETTING 
BOXED IN DURING A LANE CHANGE BY
SOMEONE WHO HIT THEIR BRAKES.
THE SUV FLIPPED BUT THE CHILD 
WAS PRACTICALLY UNHARMED AS 
OFFICERS WERE ABLE TO PULL THE 
TODDLER FROM THE OVERTURNED 
VEHICLE.
THE CHILD'S MOTHER WHO WAS 
DRIVING WAS OKAY TOO.
PROOF THAT CAR SEATS REALLY DO 
SAVE LIVES.
>>> WE TURN FROM THE HELPFUL 
A/
ACTIONS OF POLICE OFFICERS TO 
ONE OF THE LATEST INCIDENTS OF A
BLACK MAN LOSING THEIR LIFE AT 
THE HANDS OF POLICE.
WE'RE TALKING ABOUT THE L.A. 
COUNTY SHERIFF'S DEPUTIES THAT 
FATALLY SHOT DEONKEY SEE AFTER 
THEY SAY HE WAS RIDING HIS 
BICYCLE IN VIOLATION OF VEHICLE 
CODES.
HE WAS THEN SHOT AFTER HE TRIED 
RUNNING AWAY, DROPPING A NUMBER 
OF ITEMS, INCLUDING A HANDGUN.
BUT WITH NO APPARENT BODY CAMERA
OF THE INCIDENT MANY PEOPLE ARE 
NOW SKEPTICAL OF THE SHERIFF 
DEPARTMENT'S ACCOUNT OF WHAT 
REALLY HAPPENED.
MATT GUTMAN HAS THE STORY. 
>> Reporter: TONIGHT THE FAMILY 
OF DEEJOHN KIZI IS DEMANDING 
ANSWERS. 
>> THEY KILLED MY NEPHEW. 
>> THE 29-YEAR-OLD SHOT DEAD BY 
POLICE MONDAY IN A SPUTTER OF 
GUNFIRE, SEEING THE VIDEO 
OBTAINED BY ABC NEWS.
YOU CAN HEAR THOSE SHOTS 
RINGING, AND THE SCREAMS OF 
BYSTANDERS.
THE LOS ANGELES SHERIFF'S 
DEPARTMENT SAYS DEPUTIES NOTICED
KIZI VIOLATING UNSPECIFIED 
VEHICLE CODES WHEN OFFICERS 
PURSUED HIM.
HE DITCHED HIS BIKE AND BEGAN 
WALKING.
WHEN DEPUTIES TRIED TO ARREST 
HIM.
THERE WAS A SCUFFLE AND THEN 
THOSE SHOTS. 
>> IT IS STILL SHOCKING TO ME 
HOW THE POLICE CAN JUSTIFY THAT 
THEY'RE IN LIFE OR DEATH DANGER 
AND THE PERSON IS RUNNING AWAY. 
>> THE LAST TWO NIGHTS HAVE SEEN
DEMONSTRATIONS IN THE STREETS OF
SOUTH LOS ANGELES. 
>> THE NIGHT IS ABOUT DEJOHN 
KIZI AND WE ARE GOING TO RESPECT
HIS FAMILY.
WE'RE GOING TO RESPECT THE 
COMMUNITY THAT LIVES HERE. 
>> SAY HIS NAME!
>> Reporter: IN THIS 
SURVEILLANCE VIDEO YOU CAN SEE 
DEPUTIES PURSUING KIZI.
THE L.A. SHERIFF'S DEPARTMENT 
SAYS KIZI WAS NOT ARMED AT THE 
TIME OF THE SHOOTING BUT HE HAD 
BEEN MOMENTS EARLIER. 
>> OUR SUSPECT WAS HOLDING SOME 
ITEMS OF CLOTHING IN HIS HANDS, 
PUNCHED ONE OF THE OFFICERS IN 
THE FACE, AND THEN DROPPED THE 
ITEMS IN HIS HANDS, THE DEPUTIES
NOTICED THAT INSIDE THE CLOTHING
ITEMS THAT HE DROPPED WAS A 
BLACK SEMIAUTOMATIC HANDGUN AND 
AT WHICH TIME A DEPUTY-INVOLVED 
SHOOTING OCCURRED.
>> Reporter: AT LEAST SIX 
EYEWITNESSES HAVE TOLD ABC NEWS 
THAT KIZI WAS BACKING AWAY FROM 
THE OFFICERS, HANDS IN THE AIR. 
>> THEY KILLED THAT MAN FOR 
NOTHING.
FOR NOTHING.
HE HAD HIS HANDS UP. 
>> Reporter: A KNBC HELICOPTER 
SPOTTED A HANDGUN BY HIS BODY.
THIS INCIDENT COMES AS POLICE 
VIOLENCE IN KENOSHA, WISCONSIN 
LED TO NATIONWIDE ACTION LAST 
WEEK, THE KILLING OF JACOB BLAKE
AND OF GEORGE FLOYD IN MINNESOTA
ANGERING A NATION.
LOS ANGELES RESIDENTS TELL US 
THESE KINDS OF POLICE SHOOTINGS 
HAVE BECOME ROUTINE. 
>> THIS IS, UNFORTUNATELY, I'M 
TIRED OF THIS GOING ON, I'VE 
LOST SEVERAL FAMILY MEMBERS IN 
THE PAST FEW MONTHS TO POLICE 
BRUTALITY AND POLICE VIOLENCE.
>> Reporter: THE L.A. SHERIFF'S 
DEPARTMENT IS ONE OF THE LARGEST
LAW ENFORCEMENT AGENCIES IN THE 
COUNTRY.
YET IT DOES NOT EQUIP DEPUTIES 
WITH BODY CAMERAS OR DASH BOARD 
CAMERAS IN THEIR VEHICLES, 
UNLIKE THE LOS ANGELES POLICE 
DEPARTMENT, WHICH REQUIRES BODY 
WORN CAMERAS BE TURNED ON DURING
ANY INTERACTION WITH THE PUBLIC.
ACTIVISTS IN LOS ANGELES ARE 
DEMANDING THAT EVERY LAW 
ENFORCEMENT OFFICER IN L.A. WEAR
BODY CAMERAS. 
>> THIS SHERIFF DOES NOT WANT 
BODY CAMS BECAUSE IF HE HAD 
REALLY WANTED THAT, AGAIN THIS 
GOES BACK FIVE YEARS, THAT COULD
HAVE BEEN IN PLACE A LONG TIME 
AGO. 
>> Reporter: ON TUESDAY THE L.A.
BOARD OF SUPERVISORS OPENED AN 
INQUEST INTO ANOTHER 
OFFICER-INVOLVED SHOOTING BY THE
LOS ANGELES SHERIFF'S 
DEPARTMENT, THE JUNE 12th DEATH 
OF ANDRES GUARDADO AFTER 
DEPUTIES SHOT THE 18-YEAR-OLD 
SECURITY GUARD IN THE BACK AS HE
WAS TRYING TO FLEE THEM.
HE WAS ALSO UNARMED.
HIS FAMILY IS NOW SUING. 
>> MATT GUTMAN JOINING US FROM 
LOS ANGELES.
AS YOU JUST POINTED OUT, THIS 
ISN'T FIRST TIME THE L.A. COUNTY
SHERIFF'S DEPARTMENT HAS BEEN 
SCRUTINIZED THIS YEAR. 
>> Reporter: NO, OR THE SECOND 
OR THE THIRD.
IN ADDITION TO THIS INCIDENT 
THERE WAS THE HANGING DEATH OF A
MAN NAMED ROBERT FULLER IN A 
SUBURB NORTH OF HERE, KYRA, HE 
WAS APPARENTLY SOMEONE WHO HAD 
COMMITTED SUICIDE.
BUT WE DIDN'T KNOW THAT AT THE 
TIME.
THERE WAS SOME FEAR AND 
SUSPICION THAT HE MIGHT HAVE 
BEEN LYNCHED.
THE L.A. SHERIFF'S DEPARTMENT 
LAUNCHED AN INVESTIGATION.
ULTIMATE THEY FOUND THAT HE HAD 
COMMITTED SUICIDE BUT NOT BEFORE
RELEASING INFORMATION TO THE 
PUBLIC AND JOURNALISTS THAT 
SOMEHOW ROBERT FULLER HAD BEEN 
WRAPPED UP IN LEWD AND 
LASCIVIOUS BEHAVIOR, HE WAS 
CHARGED FOR MOLESTING A CHILD 
AND THAT WAS THE REASON THAT HE 
HAD BEEN -- THAT HE HAD 
COMMITTED SUICIDE.
THE FAMILY'S LAWYER SAID THAT IT
WAS A RACIST RUMOR PUT OUT TO 
TRY TO DE SMIRCH THE NAME OF 
ROBERT FULLER POSTHUMOUSLY.
THEY WOULDN'T ABIDE BY IT.
THERE WERE OTHER INCIDENTS AS 
WELL.
I FINALLY CALLED THE L.A. 
SHERIFF'S DEPARTMENT TO ASK IF 
THEY NOW WHAT THAT VEHICLE CODE 
VIOLATION WAS THAT HAD DEPUTIES 
PULL OVER DEJOHN KIZI, THEY SAID
THEY STILL DON'T HAVE THE 
INFORMATION.

SINCE WORLD WAR II, THE U.S. 
NATIONAL DEBT IS PROJECTED TO 
GROW LARGER THAN OUR ENTIRE

MEANS BY THE NUMBERS.
$3.3 TRILLION IS THE PROJECTED 
U.S. FEDERAL BUDGET DEFICIT FOR 
2020, ACCORDING TO A 
CONGRESSIONAL BUDGET OFFICE 
REPORT PUBLISHED TODAY.
THAT'S MORE THAN THREE TIMES THE
BUDGET DEFICIT OF LAST YEAR AND 
MAKES OUR TOTAL NATIONAL DEBT 
SWELL TO A RECORD-SETTING $26 
TRILLION.
FOR THE FIRST TIME SINCE WORLD 
WAR II THE REPORT PROJECTS OUR 
NATIONAL DEBT WILL BE MORE THAN 
100% OF THE SIZE OF OUR WHOLE 
ECONOMY MEASURED BY GDP.
AND DEBT TO GDP WILL RISE TO 
107% IN 2023.
THE HIGHEST IN OUR COUNTRY'S 
HISTORY.
HOW DID WE GET HERE?
WELL, IN PART, THE FEDERAL 
GOVERNMENT HAS ALREADY SPENT 
UPWARDS OF $3 TRILLION ON 
PANDEMIC RELIEF, WITH MORE 
STIMULUS SPENDING EXPECTED WHILE
OUR ECONOMY RECENTLY CONTRACTED 
BY 32.9% AS TENS OF MILLIONS OF 
AMERICANS LOST WORK.

WITH VISITORS FLOCKING TO THE

ARE CONCERNS THE STATE COULD SEE
A RISE IN NEW CASES.
FOR MORE I'M JOINED BY THE 
GOVERNOR OF WYOMING, MARK 
GORDON.
WELCOME AND THANK YOU FOR BEING 
WITH US, GOVERNOR GORDON.
I WAS ONE OF YOUR TOURISTS JUST 
A FEW MONTHS AGO VISITING YOUR 
BEAUTIFUL STATE.
HOW ARE WORKING TO MITIGATE THE 
SPREAD FROM TOURISTS, LIKE ME, 
COMING INTO WYOMING?
>> AMY, THANKS VERY MUCH FOR 
THIS OPPORTUNITY AND LET ME JUST
SAY, THANKS FOR COMING TO 
WYOMING AS WELL.
OUR COMMUNITIES HAVE REALLY 
WORKED TO STRESS HOW GOOD IT IS 
FOR PEOPLE TO COME TO WYOMING.
WE'RE SAFE, WE'RE OPEN FOR 
BUSINESS.
WE ASKED OUR POPULATION TO BE 
RESPECTFUL OF THOSE COMING AND 
WE TRY TO DO BY EXAMPLE WHAT WE 
EXPECT PEOPLE TO DO, WHICH IS TO
STAY SOCIALLY DISTANCED, NOT 
HARD TO DO IN WYOMING, LOTS OF 
OPEN SPACE, AND BE RESPECTFUL 
WEARING MASKS WHEN POSSIBLE.
>> YEAH, AND I KNOW THAT NEARLY 
ALL OF THE STATE SCHOOLS HAVE 
BEGUN WITH IN-PERSON LEARNING. 
HOW IS THAT GOING, AND ARE YOU 
CONCERNED AT ALL ABOUT A RISE IN
CASES?
>> I THINK WE'RE ALWAYS 
CONCERNED.
WE'VE BEEN FORTUNATE SO FAR.
WE'VE REALLY DEPENDED ON THE 
PEOPLE OF WYOMING TO EXERCISE 
GOOD JUDGMENT AND BEHAVE 
PROPERLY AND THAT'S WORKED SO 
FAR.
WE'RE ALWAYS CONCERNED ABOUT 
WHAT MIGHT HAPPEN. 
WE'RE OPENING SCHOOLS NOW, AND 
YOU KNOW THOSE KIND OF THINGS 
THAT COULD LEAD TO A LITTLE BIT 
OF AN UPTICK.
BUT I THINK THE PEOPLE OF 
WYOMING HAVE LEARNED TO LIVE 
WITH THIS AND ARE DOING A MUCH 
BETTER JOB OF REALLY NOT TRYING 
TO PRESS THE LIMIT.
WE'VE HAD RODEOS ALL SUMMER. 
WE HAVEN'T SEEN BIG UPTICKS FROM
THOSE EVENTS.
>> I KNOW SAFETY IS THE BIGGEST 
CONCERN, BUT YOU HAVE FINANCIAL 
CONCERNS AS WELL.
IN FACT, YOU JUST ANNOUNCED IN 
THE WAKE OF THIS PANDEMIC, YOUR 
STATE HAS HAD TO MAKE SOME 
SERIOUS BUDGET CUTS TOTALLING 
MORE THAN $250 MILLION.
YOU CALLED IT DEVASTATING BUT 
NECESSARY.
WHAT IMPACT HAS THAT HAD ON YOUR
COMMUNITIES AND YOUR CITIZENS?
>> WE'VE BEEN VERY FORTUNATE 
OVER THE LAST SEVERAL YEARS TO 
BUILD UP A PRETTY SIZABLE 
RESERVE ACCOUNT AND I THINK 
THERE'S A DESIRE TO TRY TO FIND 
AN EQUILIBRIUM OF BALANCE TO 
BEGIN TO LOWER THOSE COSTS, BUT 
I HAVE TO SAY, OUR ABILITY TO DO
SO REALLY HAS BEEN ACCELERATED 
BY THIS COVID PANDEMIC AND SO I 
THINK OUR COMMUNITIES ARE GOING 
TO FEEL IT, THEY'RE GOING TO 
FEEL IT IN THEIR EDUCATION 
SYSTEM.
THEY'RE GOING TO FEEL IT IN THE 
PUBLIC SECTOR AND THEY'RE GOING 
TO FEEL IT ON THE JOBS MARKET 
BUT SO FAR WE'RE DOING PRETTY 
WELL.
>> GOVERNOR, I WANT TO SWITCH 
GEARS TO THE ELECTION.
WYOMING'S AUGUST 18 PRIMARY 
ACTUALLY HAD A RECORD TURNOUT.
DO YOU ANTICIPATE THOSE TYPES OF
NUMBERS IN NOVEMBER AND WHAT ARE
YOU DOING TO MAKE SURE THAT YOUR
CONSTITUENTS CAN VOTE SAFELY?
>> WELL, AND THANKS FOR THAT.
WYOMING DID HAVE A RECORD NUMBER
OF PRIMARY VOTERS, AND I THINK 
PEOPLE IN WYOMING FEEL THIS IS 
ONE OF THE MOST IMPORTANT 
ELECTIONS IN HISTORY AND SO THEY
GENERALLY TEND TO SHOW UP FOR 
PRESIDENTIAL ELECTIONS, AND THIS
ONE IS PARTICULARLY IMPORTANT.
THE TRUMP ADMINISTRATION HAS 
DONE A NUMBER OF GOOD THINGS FOR
STATES LIKE OURS, RURAL STATES, 
AND SO I THINK PEOPLE ARE GOING 
TO SHOW UP IN DROVES.
WE'VE HAD A LONG EXPERIENCE WITH
ABSENTEE VOTING, SO A LARGE 
PORTION OF OUR POPULATION FEELS 
COMFORTABLE WITH ABSENTEE 
VOTING.
OUR SECRETARY OF STATE HAS DONE 
A PHENOMENAL JOB.
WE HAD VERY FEW INCIDENTS THIS 
PRIMARY AND I DON'T THINK WE'LL 
SEE ANYTHING DURING THE GENERAL.
I THINK WE'LL JUST DO WHAT 
WYOMING DOES, VOTE AND VOTE

IF YOU CAN'T BE SOCIALLY

NEW YORK CITY GYMGOERS AND 
OWNERS ARE REJOICING AS MANY 
FACILITIES HAVE FINALLY BEEN 
GIVEN THE GREEN LIGHT TO REOPEN.
GOVERNOR ANDREW CUOMO ANNOUNCED 
GYM RE-OPENINGS WEEKS AGO.
FROM ALL FACILITIES WERE STOUDGE
INDIVIDUAL INSPECTIONS BY LOCAL 
HEALTH DEPARTMENTS.
HERE TO TELL US ABOUT THE
RE-OPENINGS IS CEO OF RETRO 
FITNESS, ANDREW ALFANO.
THANKS FOR BEING WITH US.
I KNOW THAT RETRO FITNESS HAS 
140 LOCATIONS IN NEW YORK, NEW 
JERSEY, A LOT OF THEM OPENING UP
TODAY, BUT WE HAVE NEW 
REQUIREMENTS.
MASKS HAVE TO BE WORN WHEN 
WORKING OUT.
THERE ARE GOING TO BE FEWER 
PEOPLE IN THE GYM AND 
INSPECTIONS.
WITH ALL OF THAT, HOW MANY 
MEMBERS DO YOU THINK WILL RETURN
TO YOUR GYMS?
>> THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR 
HAVING ME ON, AMY.
WE ACTUALLY OPERATE IN 12 
STATES.
SO WE HAVE GREAT DATA, NOT JUST 
AT RETRO FITNESS WHICH IS 
OBVIOUSLY A LEADER IN THE 
INDUSTRY, BUT WE WORK VERY 
CLOSELY WITH OTHER FITNESS 
ORGANIZATIONS AND WE KNOW 
FACTUALLY THAT PEOPLE WANT TO 
GET BACK TO THE HEALTH CLUBS. 
THEY HAVE BEEN COMING BACK, NOT 
JUST CHECK-INS IN THE CLUBS, BUT
ALSO JOINS HAVE REALLY BEEN 
ELEVATED OVER THE LAST FEW 
MONTHS.
I THINK, YOU KNOW, DESPITE THE 
UNFORTUNATE PANDEMIC, ONE OF THE
THINGS THAT BENEFITS FROM IT IS 
THAT REALLY UNEARTHED THE 
UNHEALTHY BEHAVIORS THAT ARE OUT
THERE, AND IF YOU HEARD ANYTHING
FROM DR. FAUCI AND THE CDC IS 
THAT EXERCISE IS MEDICINE AND 
BEING FIT AND HEALTHY IS ONE OF 
THE BEST VACCINES YOU CAN HAVE 
FOR YOURSELF.
DESPITE THE MASKS, WHICH IS A 
SLIGHT INCONVENIENCE OR A SMALL 
PRICE TO PAY -- AFTER ALL, OUR 
HEALTHCARE HEROES WEAR THEM 
EVERY SINGLE DAY.
THEY'RE HAPPY TO GET BACK TO THE
CLUBS.
>> I HAVE MISSED THE GYM. 
WHAT DO YOU MAKE OF THE TIME 
LINE THAT NEW YORK CITY HAS BEEN
ON WITH THE CLOSING AND NOW 
FINALLY REOPENING OF GYMS?
>> WELL, AGAIN, WE'RE VERY 
EXCITED TO HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY 
TO REOPEN.
WHAT A LOT OF PEOPLE MAY NOT 
RECALL IS THAT THE FEDERAL 
GOVERNMENT ACTUALLY PUT THEM IN 
PHASE ONE AS AN ESSENTIAL 
BUSINESS BACK IN APRIL, SO OUR 
CLUBS HAVE BEEN PREPARED, RETRO 
FITNESS AROUND THE COUNTRY, TO 
REOPEN FOR SOME TIME.
WE'RE VERY DISAPPOINTED THAT IT 
TOOK THIS LONG.
WE CERTAINLY FEEL IT COULD HAVE 
HAPPENED MUCH SOONER.
ACTUALLY, THERE'S A LOT MORE 
DATA THAT IT SHOULD HAVE 
OCCURRED BY NOW.
AGAIN, WE'RE HAPPY THAT IT'S 
HAPPENING.
WE'RE DISAPPOINTED THAT NEW YORK
CITY EXTENDED IT TO SEPTEMBER 
2nd AFTER GOVERNOR CUOMO ALLOWED
US TO OPEN AUGUST 24th.
WE'RE ALSO SLIGHTLY DISAPPOINTED
IT'S ONLY 25% OCCUPANCY IN 
JERSEY AND 33% OCCUPANCY IN NEW 
YORK.
47 OTHER STATES, IF YOU CAN 
IMAGINE THIS, HAVE FIGURED OUT A
WAY PRIOR TO NOW TO GET THE 
HEALTH CLUBS OPEN AND OPERATING 
IN SOME CAPACITY.
SO, AGAIN, WE'RE HAPPY TO HAVE 
THE GYMS OPEN. 
THE MEMBERS ARE EXCITED TO GET 
BACK, BUT IT DID TAKE A LITTLE 
TOO LONG FROM OUR PERSPECTIVE.
>> YOU'VE BEEN MAKING THE CASE 
USING THE DATA YOU JUST 
REFERENCED.
HAS THERE BEEN ANY DATA THAT 
SHOWS A RISE IN CASES DUE TO GYM
REOPENINGS?
>> NO, ACTUALLY, THE EXACT 
OPPOSITE.
AS A MATTER OF FACT, WE WORK 
VERY CLOSELY WITH IRSA, THE 
ORGANIZATION THAT LEADS FOR ALL 
OF THE FITNESS INDUSTRY AND WE 
HAVE FAR MORE DATA.
AS AN EXAMPLE, WE KNOW FACTUALLY
THERE HAVE BEEN 49.4 MILLION 
CHECK-INS OVER THE LAST THREE 
MONTHS AND ONLY A .002% THAT 
TRACES BACK TO CORONA.
NOT ONLY DO WE NOT BELIEVE THAT 
GOING TO YOUR HEALTH CLUB IS NOT
SAFE, WE ACTUALLY BELIEVE IT'S 
ONE OF THE SAFEST PLACES.
>> THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR YOUR 
TIME TODAY.
WE CERTAINLY APPRECIATE IT.
WE WISH YOU THE BEST OF LUCK IN 
ALL OF YOUR RE-OPENINGS.
>> AMY, THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR 
HAVING ME.

>>> WE'RE BACK NOW WITH THE 
YOUNG ENTREPRENEUR FROM THE 
BRONX HAVING TO PIVOT IN THE 
PANDEMIC, CHEERED ON BY HER MOM,
AND LAUNCHING A CLOTHING LINE 
WITH A CONSCIENCE.
>> MY NAME IS TAMIKA LAWRENCE.
I'M FROM THE BRONX, NEW YORK.
I'M A BROADWAY ACTOR, RECORDING 
ARTIST AND FASHION DESIGNER.
BECAUSE OF THE COVID-19 
PANDEMIC, I HAVE BEEN 
FINANCIALLY AFFECTED.
I WENT FROM HAVING A STABLE 
INCOME TO A NOT STABLE INCOME.
PIVOTING MY CAREER HAS HELPED ME
IMMENSELY IN STAYING POSITIVE 
BECAUSIT HAS GIVEN ME A NEW 
PURPOSE.
I'VE ALWAYS MADE MY MISSION 
BEING ON BROADWAY AND BEING A 
RECORDING ARTIST TO GIVE JOY TO 
PEOPLE AND TO HELP PEOPLE HAVE 
TOUGH CONVERSATIONS AND SO 
HAVING THIS CLOTHING LINE AND 
BEING IN CREATIVE CONTROL OF THE
CLOTHING LINE IS AN EXTENSION OF
THAT.
MY MOTHER INSPIRED ME.
SHE DID IT WITH QUICKNESS 
BECAUSE OF THE PANDEMIC.
SHE SENT ME ON YOUTUBE TUTORIALS
ON DROP SHIPMENTS, DISTRIBUTORS,
HOW TO NAVIGATE THOSE, HOW TO 
TALK TO PEOPLE, E-COMMERCE, AND 
REALLY HELPED ME GET THE BALL 
ROLLING.
READY SET WEAR SELLS STREETWEAR 
APPAREL AND IT'S IMPORTANT FOR 
MY CLOTHING LINE TO BRING 
AWARENESS TO SOCIAL AND 
POLITICAL ISSUES IN THIS COUNTRY
BECAUSE, BEFORE THE PANDEMIC, I 
BELIEVE I AND MY FRIENDS AND 
OTHERS WERE ASLEEP AND SORT OF 
LIVING IN THIS CONSCIOUSNESS OF,
IT'S JUST ENOUGH TO GET BY.
I WANT TO CRUISE THE CLOTHING 
LINE TO REMIND PEOPLE, IN A 
FUNNY WAY BECAUSE I THINK THAT'S
HOW WE BREAK INTO THE HEARTS OF 
PEOPLE WE MAY NOT AGREE WITH, 
BUT TO REMIND US THAT WE HAVE A 
DUTY TO BE OUR BROTHERS AND 
SISTER'S KEEPERS WHILE WE'RE 
AWAKE, WHILE WE'RE ALIVE, WHILE 
WE HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO LIVE 
AND CELEBRATE OUR FREEDOM OF 
SPEECH IN OUR FASHION.
IT'S IMPORTANT THAT WE KEEP 
PUSHING FOR CHANGE.
MY ADVICE FOR PEOPLE WHO ARE 
STRUGGLING IS TO USE WHATEVER 
PLATFORM THAT YOU HAVE TO FIGHT 
FOR THE CHANGE THAT YOU WANT TO 
SEE.
>> INSPIRATIONAL ADVICE WE CAN 
ALL USE.
