dead. the president inherited a very strong, vibrant, robust job creating economy and he likes to convince people he walked into a ditch and somehow turned around. you mentioned the shutdown. if the states reopen more quickly, we know what happened when the states started to reopen. that's when we had the summer surge of coronavirus cases and why the poll numbers are so bad and criticizing the governors saying they're keeping the states closed to hurt him politically they say and account to believe the people they did that to try to save lives. >> dana, to john's point, i spoke to the secretary of state in washington state who's a republican, she was on my program last week or two weeks ago. they have -- they mail out ballots to every household in the state. she said it doesn't impact republicans or democrats any differently. it's not -- doesn't favor a party over the other and the millions of votes cast they have

had less than or just a little over 100 some people who voted twice, other people, a couple other people that tried to sign -- have somebody else vote. and those people are being pursued by the law now. well-known. statistically insignificant given all the amount of votes and invited the president to come to see how washington state does it and does it fairly and accurately and -- but of course he doesn't do that. >> right. again just to underscore what you said, this is a republican you are talking about. it really is remarkable even for donald trump that he goes to make a surprise appearance at the kind of scaled down convention that is going on to nominate him formally to be the republican nominee again. and the first thing out of his mouth is something akin to

trying to suppress the vote. it's unbelievable. and it -- we know the reason. we know why. and it is because the reality is what you said, that fraud is very minimal in the places that have done this and the fact is the more people who mail in ballots, the more people vote and the worse it is for him when it comes to his viability to get a second term and that's the reality. that's why he is doing this, that's why he started the remarks at this very big moment in his political life. and there's no other way to look at it and for a candidate never mind a sitting president to do that is frankly reprehencible especially since so many people listened to him and believe what he is saying and therefore they,

if they want to vote, they find a place to do it in person which is just less safe! >> this is as real as his previous comments which he echoed again today that there was massive voter fraud in the 2016 election. that's what he is using to justify him losing the popular vote but he formed this commission on voter fraud that eventually just disbanded because there was nothing to find. >> and look. there is a real concern, a real question about voting by mail but the concern and the question is about whether or not the post office can make it happen which is what the hearing that has been going on in capitol hill this morning was all about. so again, you know, if he really was interested in making sure that vote by mail wasn't problematic, what he would do is to focus on making sure that the post office has as much money, personnel, everything that they need to make sure that the most

fundamental right of americans in this democracy, the right to vote, can work well during a pandemic. >> his own postmaster general who's a huge -- a mega donor to trump has under oath encouraged people, said mail-in voting is an absolute right and will do it well, efficiently. and people should be able to mail-in vote and have that right. ryan nobles, the idea that the president again continues and we'll hear this a lot because the president repeatedly said this that democrats or democratic governors want, want a shutdown to hurt the economy, to hurt the president or want to keep schools closed in order to hurt the president's re-election chances is just ludicrous on its face. the idea that a governor is going to anger every parent in

the state by keeping things shut down or schools shut down to hurt the president is just ludicrous. if a governor did that that would not be politically beneficial for that governor. >> reporter: covered the whole debate over whether or not the convention was ultimately going to be held here as they battle over this throughout the summer and there were these numerous instances where president trump essentially was baiting governor roy cooper trying to back him into a corn er to allow him to hold this big, massive convention to pack as many as 20,000 people into a room with no social distancing, no mask ordinance at a time when north carolina's coronavirus case numbers were skyrocketing and it was among the most difficult time for the state to grapple with this and cooper and the team attempted to come to the table to draw a compromise with president trump and his team and

president trump in the republican national committee would not budge and then tried to move it to florida where he had a friendly republican governor, a friendly mayor of jacksonville and they quickly determined it couldn't be pulled off there now and dealing with a scaled back convention because it didn't make any sense regardless of a republican or democratic governor and another to int point to make is the aides leading up to the convention this week and on the heels of the democratic national convention hammered joe biden and the democrats for putting on a convention they claimed all doom and gloom, talked about the bad things in this country and not enough about the hope and the future saying that this convention this week to be about that optimism, the work that president trump has done over four years and what he'll do if he stays in office and here the

president of the united states has his first opportunity to speak this week at the convention and all it is is a long list of grievance, not one hopeful or optimistic thing in that speech at all so this is the setting, the launch of the convention they claim to be of optimism and hope. >> the idea to hear this week is a unified message of america as a shining city on the hill and our greatest days are ahead of us and obviously the president had said a little bit about things to come roaring back, but clearly this president what is in his dna to paint a picture of america, land of carnage, dystopian america, the irony is this time, he said that at his swearing-in. this time he has been presiding over this america now for three years and if he is painting a

picture of this is america in chaos, crisis, cities out of control, this is the country that he is the leader of. he is no longer just some observer, real estate, you know, investor who's an observer criticizing things. >> and you raise right there fundamentally the challenge for the president. he was the disruptive outsider last time and character questions about him in 2016 but he lost the popular vote by quite a large margin and people in enough places to want something different in washington, washington disrupted and voted for donald trump and now the beleaguered incumbent and auchbl seems like pontius pilate. he can try to appeal to law and order saying that governor or mayor should do things different and will. going after democrats trying to defund the police and that's a

debate in the country but is he misrepresenting joe biden's opinion for that. the psychology is much more different and the president said to re-elect me at a time with his inaction in february and march, don't have a national testing plan or a schools plan, some is on the president, some of it is bad things happen to every president but he is the incumbent right now and can you coin vin convince people? it is an enormous challenge for this president. can he eke out an electoral college win again? don't be naive. the incumbency part is an enormous challenge with a convention which is why to the point that if they want to be optimistic, convince people the worst is almost behind us or it is behind us, you need to be upgreat about that but not the

president's dna and i would urge he programs people not to believe us and telling voters don't believe what you hear from the media especially on the voting thing. use this. use this. do your homework. people out there, if you don't believe us, reach out to a friend in washington, utah, republican florida which just held a successful primary with mail-in ballots. it is not the way the president portrays it. it is reckless. >> yeah. thanks to all of you. north carolina the host state for the rnc activities is just one of just 11 states showing an increase in covid-19 cases. nationwide the average is a downward trend, good news. sunday's total just over 34,000, the lowest level in 2 months. for the first time in 26 days the average number of americans dying of covid below 1,000. the nation's colleges and universities the race to stop the spread leading to more

cases. fines for students hosting gatherings. a 14-day public health ban for events this past weekend. all that as several new developments spark concern of treating the virus has become. more of that in a moment. scientists in hong kong claim to have discovered the first case of a human being reinfected with coronavirus. a big implications on the development of vaccines and want to talk about it more with senior medical correspondent elizabeth cohen. the idea of reinfection is somebody has the virus and then latter later on gets reinfected. what does that tell about a vaccine? >> you might think, oh no, when we might think oh yes. this is good news and i also want to note we said that this

is the first case, the first documented case. may be all sorts of reinfection out there aern caught this guy but take a look at what actually happened. in hong kong a 33-year-old man tested positive for covid-19 on march 26th and then tested positive again august 15th. so that's the oh no. here's the oh yes part. in march he was sick with fever, cough, headache, sore throat for three days. in august he was asymptomatic. the only reason he was caught is that he was caught on an airport screening. that's why he was caught and so what this tells us according to the infectious disease folks i talk to is this is good news showing when you're infected the second time it is okay. there's nothing wrong with it. we don't people want to get severely ill and that is good news for a vaccine. a vaccine is made to mick mimic natural infection so if the vaccine mimics this man, one case, this man it means that the

second time around you'll get infected but won't get sick. fine to be infected. we don't want people to be severe ill. >> but it is not great news obviously. it would be better news if you didn't get infected a second time. if you're asymptomatic you can still -- from a -- i don't know with -- can you still spread the virus a second time? >> you might be able to spread it and that's something that they have to work on. absolutely right about that but i think sometimes we think a vaccine is to give us an armor. for example, the measles vaccine. if you get the vaccine you have about a 97% chance of never getting infected with measles again. that's sterilizing immunity and that's not always the case for all vaccines. the flu vaccine doesn't -- hopefully it keeps you from being infected but keeps you from being very sick and not all vaccines sort of as magical or i shouldn't say magical but not as

complete as the measles vaccine but you are right. the thinking is for quite a while this is a coronavirus like the common cold and i think the thinking been for quite sometime reinfection is possible and seeing documentation of it. >> all right. elizabeth cohen, thank you. dr. peter hotez is a professor and also developing a vaccine for covid. doctor, you tweeted that you think this emergency use authorization for plasma treatment may have in your words an ulterior motive in order to push an authorization for covid vaccine. so can you explain what that mean by that? cnn learned in july trump administration officials, meadows, mnuchin, they raised the possibility of an emergency

use thauthorization for a vacci. i wonder your reaction. >> yeah. that work, that gives me a lot of pause for concern and i'm worried. the reason i raised that concern of emergency use authorization is not the eua of plasma treatment per se but this is the first time for a biologic which uses a different branch of the fda called c-bird, the same branch that would authorize a vaccine. since i'm worrying that they're doing a dry run, that they're actually considering emergency use authorization for vaccines and i don't want to see that. i want to see that the vaccines for operation warp speed go through the full process of a phase three trial, to show that these vaccines actually work and that they're safe. you could potentially do an expedited review and it's really important that the scientific community have full access to all of the information about those operation warp speed

vaccines before approved and licensed. >> what is the danger of not having a phase three trial? because if they have a phase one and two, people may hear, well, okay, look. bra br bureaucrats and a phase three through it's an emergency, the country in dire straits. let's just get it out there. >> well, those phrase three trials that generally involve 30,000 individuals divided among placebo and the vaccine were carefully crafted to maximize the likelihood of the vaccines to work and if there's going to be a serious safety flare signal that we'll see it in a 30,000-person vaccine. if you release the vaccine with a few thousand you could start seeing safety problems after you're starting to immunize large numbers of individual and undermine confidence in the vaccine and all the other

vaccines and even our entire vaccine supply and we have seen this happen around the world. just last year in philippines where there was a lack of confidence and then parents not vaccinating the kids against measles and resulted in thousands of deaths so things could go wrong quickly if we ruch this. we have one of the most secure systems for safety and efficacy testing of vaccines the world has ever seen and fine tuned over decades with the phase three trials and oversight by the fda through cdc and also a post-license system of monitoring and works and robust and it could only cause trouble if you mess with that. >> dr. peter hotez, thank you very much. the rnc not releasing a platform at the convention but instead pledging to support of

president trump has been formally nominated to lead the party for four more years in charlotte, north carolina. we heard the president's remarks. the president is expected to make an appearance every night

of this republican nation ap convention. tony she wart is author of "the art of the deal." what did you make of the president insisting to speak every night of the convention, probably not much of a surprise but the gop not adapting a platform and basically just backing whatever the president wants to do which he is not able to really elaborate on in two interviews. >> well, they have stood down for four years, no surprise they're standing down again. you're right that it's not surprising. and i think the idea of no platform is a reflection of the fact that there is no guidance to a platform from a man who has no platform other than some of the previous guests have said grievance. the more fear, trump is now singly focused on the notion to create fear, the more chaos to create, the better the chance he has. i don't necessarily believe that's true but it's all he's

got left. >> so what you expect then for the next 75-plus days or 70-plus days, however long it is until the election, it sounds like you expect a scorched earth attempt by the president. >> yeah. i am. the question, the reason i smile is because i'm wondering whose earth gets scorched because trump is going to get more and more extreme, every time you think you see the limits of what he can do, his concern and fear if he'll be in jail if not presidenten creases what he is willing to do and so openly the things he's been accused of being before now such as racist but on the other hand the person that trump is most capable of scorching is himself and so the idea that his being at this convention for four nights, fine for his base, but we know his

base is not enough to win the election. he will almost surely step on himself multiple times during this four days so the more of trump the better although it isn't my plan to watch. >> the president's sister maryanne trump barry, the regardings of her bitterly criticized her brother and a tape barry commenting on how he brother operated as path. >> goddamn tweet and the lies, oh my god, i'm talking too freely but you know the change of stories, the lack of prep relation, the lying, the holy shit. >> it is remarkable that if this was a, you know urks somebody in president obama's family when he was president this would have been a huge story, this would have been something that, you know, people were stunned by and

said, oh my god, opponents of the president would have used. i don't know if it's just that people know who donald trump is for better, for worse, it is extraordinary to have the president's sister saying these things who is herself a respected federal judge, retired. >> well, i think one of the dangers running up to this election if you believe it's important for trump to be defeated is that we are somewhat numbed to any outrage, any number of lies that get told. there is nothing that's surprising with trump anymore and that isn't good because you do get numb and you stop recognizing that any given one of say the five things, six things that have happened in the past week, bannon accused, kellyanne conway leaving the white house because her daughter is, you know, acting out, saying

truth, it's one after another and important in their own right but when you get a flood of them, you tend to stop noticing. so keeping, keeping that reality check alive is critical. my fantasy, anderson, is that after claudia conway comes forward, baron trump comes forward. who could come forward that the base or the undecided voters would believe? you wouldn't have voted for him on the basis of maryanne said. maybe baron? maybe his wife? not sure who it is. >> yeah. i hope families are left out of this because it's going to get ugly as you said. >> i think it's important -- >> yeah? >> it's important. i admire the bravery of mary

trump very much. >> thank you. a most famous athlete in the world isolating after a coronavirus scare. the postmaster general grilled by house democrats today as hedynys accusations that he is trying to suppress voters. video shows a police officer shooting a black man at close range with his children in the car. what we know so far ahead. wayfair has way more ways to renovate your home,

a lot of questions today after young man black man shot in the black multiple times by police as his children watched. in wisconsin. jacob blake. there is video of the incident. want to warn you, it is disturbing. here it is now. you can see police, one with the gun drawn following blake walking to the driver side of the sufficient and then opens the driver's side and leans in shots ring out. we paused the video because it is graphic. blake is fighting for his life in a cnn hospital. first of all, what is the status of this man, jacob blake? where does the investigation

stand? >> reporter: anderson, the latest update from the police department, the agency involved in this shooting, the latest update now suggesting he did survive the shooting yesterday evening and taken to a milwaukee hospital and listed in serious condition. speaking to the neighbors who live in this community, the shooting happened about 40 yards down this sidewalk and when you hear from people, a lot of people here certainly turning to prayer and hoping that he will be able to pull through and they're considering this nothing short of a miracle and heard up to seven shots and we don't know how many times mr. blake was hit. people here certainly surprised of this outcome and certainly hopeful that he pulls through to share his story since, of course, that video you share though disturbing a brave but very disturbing window into what happened in this neighborhood yesterday evening and what we see from the investigation gaitive standpoint and from the people that heard the shots directly. >> what we don't know is what

occurred. the video we only see it when he's moving from the passenger side around to the driver side. we don't really know the circumstances of what happened before that and who's investigating this? i read that it's not the kenosha police department and others have been brought in? >> reporter: almost immediately they stepped back here not only gave up the scene to an outside agency but also to wisconsin's department of justice to actually investigate this, to investigate the shooting itself, so that is still ongoing and in speaking to people here they're hopeful to get answers to the questions because all we know is that it started as this kind of domestic disturbance outside. police responded and some point that's when mr. blake starts to walk towards that suv and then those shots rang out. hayed an opportunity to speak to a 22-year-old who's actually the man who shot that video. he described the shock wave that

was sent through this community and for him as a black man he said seeing that was traumatizing, filling him with anger though also willing to take a breath and to let the investigation run the course and when you step back and take a look at other similar incidents in the country, for the community here in wisconsin is certainly going to fuel concerns and speculation and will certainly test the trust that many in this community, particularly african-americans, have in the local police department. >> quickly, it was originally a domestic vie listens call that the police were responding to and we don't know what happened before this incident. other than what's on the videotape. is that correct? >> reporter: at this point that's the only window we have. we hope to hear from authorities soon but the officers on administrative leave and standard procedure and then all we have is the video to go on

that might potentially serve as evidence. >> appreciate it. one of the president's longest serving advisers is leaving after kellyanne conway said there's drama at home. two storms and why it would make history potentially. just in the hospital, an opposition leader said he was poisoned. special live coverage ahead.

scores of vacationers at a nudist village in the south of france tested positive for coronavirus, nearly a third of the visitors in a popular town known for the nudist beaches and resorts. here are the coronavirus headlines our correspondents are following. >> in new york, the economic slump may linger, half of the members of the prestigious national association of business economics said growth won't recover until 2022. a majority don't expect the jobs market to fully recover until 2022 at the earliest. worse, they forecast a 1 in 4 chance of a double dip recession. it is a reminder that the stock market is not the economy. the s&p 500 and nasdaq hit record highs and millions are

out of work and emergency stimulus expired and now a k-shaped recovery that widens the gap of winners and losers. i'm evan mcmorris-santoro, museums reopen in new york city a sign of how far this city has come since it was the epicenter of the american pandemic a few months ago. official state numbers now show the new york infection rate to be steadily below 1%, a number that officials say is low enough to allow for a greater and greater return to normalcy. it will be a new normal when it comes to museums, however. attendance strictly capped at 25% of capacity. entrance is staggered with reserve ticket times. and masks will be required. i'm bryn gingras. police in massachusetts are looking for a man who walked up to a cancer survivor among others and gave them a covid

hug. this happened earlier this month in a walmart there. police say the suspect walked up to the store customers who were apparently unknown to him and said, quote, just giving you a covid hug, you now have covid before apparently laughing aern walking away and now the detectives' bureau is looking for any tips to help catch this suspect. i'm don redel in atlanta. usain bolt said he is self quarantining at home. the yous comes just days after he was seen celebrating the birthday at a well attended outdoor party. the 8-time olympic champion posted a picture of he and baby daughter as best birthday ever. he says that he currently doesn't have any symptoms of the virus and calls to the representatives have not been returned. >> i thank all the correspondents. just as two storms hit the

gulf coast with an eye on texas, louisiana, the state of louisiana decided to stop all coronavirus testing for 48 hours. the tropical storms are posing a threat to millions of americans. one storm is weakening but the other is gaining strength. meteorologist jennifer gray is tracking the paths. what is the latest? >> two very different storms and starting with marco expected to make landfall this evening. you can see a lopsided storm. gusts of 65 miles per hour moving to the north/northwest at 8 miles per hour. this storm is going to head to the north and west produce possibly 5 to 10 initiaches of . here's the forecast track, basically just shooting off to the west in the days ahead. but we do have another cone that's headed straight for louisiana and texas. that one's going to be from

laura. this one right now winds of 60 miles per hour, gusts of 60 and ragged right now and emerging on the other side of cuba, the gulf of mexico to enter a much more favorable environment for intensification. this storm could actually rapidly intensify and i do not think it's out of the question for this to be a major storm when it makes landfall, talking about a category 3. the cone has it has a category 2 with 105 miles per hour winds, 111 is a category 3. so it's not going to take much more strengthening for this to be a major storm at landfall. this one is going to have a much, much bigger impact on the coast of texas, louisiana than marco. this one's going to push inland and head to the east and we are talking about winds of excess 100 miles per hour. very high storm surge. ten inches of rain or more and could see a foot and you can see the forecast models definitely

coming in line, agreeing on where this storm is going to go. right there either the east texas or louisiana border, lake charles could pick up a foot of rain as the storm heads inland. over the lower mississippi river valley major flooding from this storm. so this one is one we'll be talking about over the next couple of days. >> jennifer, thank you very much. white house counselor kellyanne conway is leaving the post a month before the election. hear why she is stepping back and how it might affect the trump campaign. the mayor of tuscaloosa just ordered all bars closed. mber 36. can it help with snoring? i've never heard snoring. exactly. no problem. ...and done save 50% on the sleep number 360 limited edition smart bed. plus, free delivery when you add a base. ends monday.

the new york attorney general is investigating whether the trump organization inflated the value of the president's assets. wanted to bring in kara. what do we know about this? >> so, anderson, the new york attorney general's office is trying to enforce subpoenas for their investigation into whether the trump organization improperly inflated assets. they're looking at four different properties. sky scraper down in lower manhattan. a tower in chicago and the golf course in los angeles. the ag's investigation is a civil investigation. but it's part of the new york attorney general's investigation, they want to

depose eric trump, the president's middle son. he is leading the trump organization. and they're look to compel him to testify under oath. the trump organization has responded, saying this is simply a deceit over documents. they note there has been no lawsuit file and no allegations. this is part of the dispute they've had since the ag launched their investigation last year. after michael cohen testified before congress and made allegations the trump organization may have been inflating assets when it suited them and deflating them also. >> this is a civil matter. what exactly does that mean? verses criminal matter in terms of potential liability? >> it's a good question. so, this is potentially real trouble for the trump organization. there's not criminal charges but

they're looking at whether there are other remedies such as disbanding the trump organization or civil penalties. but civil frauds can become criminal frauds. i kecan't tell how how many tim it started as this kind of a civil investigation. look, there has been public reporting and public testimony, including from michael cohen that one thing the trump organization would do is inflate the value of their assets when they're applying for a bank loan. and if that's what the facts prove out, this will be a straight-forward fraud case. >> what would be the next step? so, is it guaranteed that eric trump would be deposed, given that they're contesting that? >> the fact they want to depose eric trump tells me something important. i would speculate they probably have documents.

you don't just try to depose someone cold. they have specific reason they want to depose, meaning question under oath, eric trump. that tells me they're on to something specific here. how does this become a criminal case? the ag would have to basically pick up the phone or walk it across the street, either to the d.a.'s office or say take it where you will. >> appreciate it. thank you very much. one of the president's longest serving advisors and most loyal defenders and leading the administration. kellyanne conway has announced she will depart at the end of the month. and one of the most vocal critics says he will step down from the lincoln project. this comes as one of their teen dau dau daughters voiced her political reviews. when is she leaving?

>> reporter: she's leaving at the end of the month. so, that means she does not have a lot of a time left and she informed the president last night about this decision she's made to step down from her role, which is obviously significant, not just because she was a subluck facing of the defender and kellyanne conway was one of the longest serving aids at the president in the west wing. so, now that somewhat is opening up, siting family reasons. and her husband, who, of course is a conservative attorney known in washington and best known nationally, for his criticism of the president is also leaving the anti-trump and it's notable given they've put out so many anti-trump ads. but they're siting their family. you often hear people in washington say they need smend more time with their family. people around the conways say this is genuinely the reason
