news day with us. joe biden makes a rare road trip to talk about racial unrest and want to prove it's more safe to show you it's unsafe in donald trump's mayor. donald trump sees it differently saying that weakness will come to america if joe biden comes to the white house. the united states sadly is now about to hit 6 million confirmed infections. that's the entire population of mizis in. the american death toll is approaching 185,000. imagine, wiping sioux falls, south dakota from the map. by december, the projection of american deaths is 300,000. 300,000 is the population of pittsburgh, where democrat biden today will put a new twist on an old campaign question. are you safer today than you were four years ago? . the former vice president connects the pandemic and the

protests, symptoms he'll argue of a president who simply isn't up to the job and who spends his time tweeting hate and division instead of studying how to handle the pandemic and other big challenges. the former vice president in his speech will say this, quote, this president long ago forfeited any moral leadership in this country. he can't stop the violence because for years he has momented it. competing ideas at very crucial moments across america. clashes over the weekend turned deadly over protesters and counterright wing demonstrators. a man was shot and killed. the mayor says the president shares the blame. >> you've tried to divide us more than any other figure in modern history, and now you want me to stop the violence that you helped create. >> portland is a mess. had you see it right there. that's the president's morning twitter retort. if this joke of a mayor doesn't clean it up, we'll go in and do it for them, the president

tweeting. the biden speech in pittsburgh today will be followed by a trump visit to kenosha tomorrow. that visit by the president over the objections of local democrats. kenosha has seen a week of protests since police shot an african-american man named jacob blake in the back seven times at point blank range. wisconsin could well decide the trump/biden contest, and the president's visit will have a law and order focus. democratic governor tony every sent a letter to the president saying i'm concerned your presence will only hinder our healing and i'm concerned your presence will delay our work to overcomedy vision and move forward together. the state's lieutenant governor more blunt. >> i don't know how given any of the previous statements he made that he intends to come here to be helpful and we absolutely don't need that right now. >> let's get straight to the two cities on edge. cnn's josh campbell is in oregon and shimon prokupecz on the ground in wisconsin.

for three months protests have been going on but this weekend turned deadly. >> reporter: yeah, that's right, john, a violent weekend beginning on saturday. we've seen these protests night after night for well over 90 days, since the death of george floyd during the daytime. you see protesters calling for racial justice and calling for an end to police brutality. in the evening hours there has been violence relegated to this one area. the president tries to build the city as under siege which is not true. thereto was violence in one area, but what happened on saturday was something we haven't seen to the degree in the past, and that is not just protesters demonstrating against law enforcement but hundreds of pro-trump supporters coming into the city, clashing with counterprotesters, police making a number of arrests and as you mentioned one person ended up dead, shot and killed. police say that they responded to the sound of gunfire, found a person unconscious and deceased on the pavement. now the "new york times" is reporting, john, that that individual had a hat on bearing a far right insignia, far right group. police tell us that that is

concerning them now. they are concerned that there could be possible retribution of folks coming back into this city, and as you mentioned, as that's happening on the ground, the violence, this war of words continues between president trump and the local mayor, the mayor saying the president's actions aren't happening things, saying they are continuing to inflame a lot of violence we see in the city. >> josh campbell, thanks for the reporting and glad you're on the ground. let's move to the midwest. shimon prokupecz on the ground in kenosha. a tense time anyway and now the president of the united states about to visit over the objection of local democrats. >> reporter: yeah, and as you said, john, the governor is sending him a two-page letter saying don't come here right now. your presence can only bring more problems, and it's not a time for politics. it's not a time for divisiveness and people need to be united and that's what they have been working on here for the last week. we're about a day and a week past the time that jacob blake

was shot by police, and it's been relatively peaceful here for the last several days, and this community is just hoping that that continues. local leaders are saying they don't want him here. yesterday i spent a day talking to some of the business owners here, went to one of the convenience stores that was looted and the owner there said he didn't want the president coming here because they just really want to spend the time right now in this community healing and supporting each other. they are getting prepared for this. the police are, the sheriff is, local law enforcement for the president's visit here tomorrow. what we don't know exactly is what the president is going to do. he said he's coming here to view destruction. there isn't that much destruction. this isn't like a hurricane came through this town. he says he's going to meet with law enforcement. we don't know what law enforcement that is. we don't know if that's local law enforcement. is that the national guard or is that the federal law enforcement and mainly we don't know if he's going to be seeing the family, the jacob blake family, so all of that is still very much unknown here, john.

>> shim owen prokupecz on the ground in kenosha. certainly keep an eye on it and learn of more details and let's discuss more of the politics of protest. jackie kucinich is washington bourne ore chief and the national political reporter for the "new york times" joins us as well. first, by letting your viewers, just get this sense. the vice president has tried to consistently focus on the pandemic, and now he will address this social unrest as well, a bit of a risk for the biden campaign, essentially almost trying to debate the president on his term but one of the things that joe biden will say in the speech and joe biden tries to connect the dot saying there's a common denominator. failed presidential leadership. he'll say this in the -- in the speech today. he may believe mouthing the words law and order make him strong, but his failure to call on his own supporters to stop acting as an armed militia in this country shows you how weak he is. does anyone believe there will be less violence in america if donald trump is re-elected? what is the thinking inside the biden campaign, not only to deliver a major address but to hit the road to a battleground

state, pennsylvania, they had considered kenosha but are holding off on that for now. what's the thinking? >> i think the biden campaign wants to insulate itself from what they know is going to be the president's main attack line against them. this is the vice president saying not only is he going to, i am sure, condemn looting and violence as he has done repeatedly and as the president has called for. he's going to try to make donald trump own this, saying what we're seeing right now the social unrest is a representation of an america on edge because of the president so it's kind of a back and forth around blame other, around who is, who is at the root of this problem but it's also disconnected from how this issue place out on the ground. police brutality and the protests will racial injustice are things that crossed an individual election and cross democrat or republican. remember, black lives matter started initially under president obama, so this is something that vice president biden will have to deal with

himself, but right now he is just trying to do the -- the kind of baseline insulation of what the president's attacks against him will be saying it's not me who owns this, not democrats who owns this. this is donald trump's america that he has helped create. >> and that, jackie, suggests, look, we're nine weeks away from the election. people actually start voting earlier than that. it will be very interesting. those two men talk very differently and behave very differently. biden today and trump tomorrow and trump later in pennsylvania later in the week. just a snippet of how the two men, two candidates talk very differently about the same issue. let listen. >> just look at the joe biden supporters on the streets screaming and shouting at bystanders with unhinged manic rage. that's no problems with thousands of so-called peaceful protesters cramming into your streets, mugging people, hurting people, robbing stores. >> i've made it clear from the beginning that there is no justification whatsoever for

violence, looting. he's rooting for more violence, not less. >> no one will be safe in biden's america. >> donald trump saying you won't be safe in joe biden's america. all the video being played is being played in donald trump's america. >> republicans think historically this is their turf. do the republicans think not this time? >> you know, i think they are focusing on the fact that this isn't joe biden's america and even today the trump campaign had a -- had a call where they had several sheriffs and law enforcement officials saying that what you're seeing in the streets is what joe biden's america will look like when in fact we are, you know, year three and a half, three and change, into the trump administration, so having to square that has been problematic. the other thing that the biden campaign is pointing to is how the vice president has handled each of these instances of racial injustice, what he did after george floyd was killed, what he did during this

situation. he's called for calm. that's something that they are looking to emphasize and another thing we should point out is the trump campaign hasn't really -- we saw this during the convention, hasn't really decided how to attack joe biden. is he too soft on crime, too weak on crime? what interest, because they have taken both positions, so they haven't really decided other than trying to saddle joe biden with the more violent aspects of these protests in terms of how they are going to paint him going forward. that seems to be very much in flux. >> and very much in flux, and these are issues. instead, you made a very important point. black lives matter movement goes back during the obama administration and started during an african-american presidency with people thinking he wasn't doing enough. we're so close to the election, the president going to kenosha, one of those blue states he flipped. the ten electoral votes and ten

electoral votes when you do the math could well decide who the next president of the united states is. it is remarkable that he's going to go visit when the democratic governor, the democratic lieutenant governor and the democraticmaster city say, please, not now. >> exactly. i mean, this is a clear part of the trump strategy. they think that they need to pull back some of those wisconsin votes and they think they do that in a couple of forms, particularly in those out of milwaukee kind of more suburban regions, the counties, walk shaw, places like kenosha. they think they can tell a story of kind of fear-driven as the president has put the kind of minorities coming into suburban communities, fear and crime-driven messages one that can resonate and kind of peel back votes here and there and what they think will be a tight race. we should know that the president is swimming uphill both in facts and politically. this has been something that voters have largely rejected his handling of protests and largely

embraced the large swath of the black lives matter movement. maybe that is changing. we have seen some polling that says that that's coming back down to earth, but it is not the mass backlash that the president is necessarily banking on here. he is hoping to drive up those negatives because he thinks he needs them. democrats say that that is not something that -- that people know that joe biden is not a extremist and they know that the black lives matter movement is largely peaceful. >> and jackie, that, again, it just raises the fascinating question of the moment. amy walt we are cook, a political reporter, what is trump looking for? is this an effort to peel off some suburban voters and bring back suburban voters who went away or is this more trying to get white working class voters sat out 2016 to get them off the shrines to turn out more trump base, if you will, and it's critically important because look at kenosha. in 2016, remember, donald trump just won wisconsin, right. in 2016 he split the vote with hillary clinton, just barely beating her in kenosha county. look at that right there and then let's go back to 2012.

obama won that county by 13 points against mitt romney four years before then even though the local congressman paul ryan was on the ticket then. if democrats win this county by a decent margin, they probably win the state. if trauump can get it to a draw we probably have 2016 again. >> suburban women, and we hear a lot about them, is a group both sides are fighting for and we'll just see -- you're heard -- while trump is wrapping himself in law and order and you've heard some of the women part of the trump campaign saying don't look at the president's words, look at what he's doing, trying to soften him. well, right now we're not seeing the softer side of trump. that is not what he's trying to project forward and, you know, the fear that they are trying to foment that didn't work in 2018 in the suburbs, democratic voters -- excuse me, voters ended up going with democrats more than republicans when you talk about, you know, house seats, so whether it works that

remains to be seen. i think we'll be watching that very closely. >> and to your point. the scripted convention is every a. pick up your phone at home and look at the trump twitter feed, a very different tone from the president in recent days, especially on this issue. great to see you both. appreciate the reporting and insights. up next, the head of the fda is willing to fast track a coronavirus vaccine even before phase three trials are finished.

that's why the numbers aren't a right now but you look. when you have more cases you sadly have more deaths and 19 states reporting more deaths now compared to a week ago. the deepest red are the states reporting the highest number in deaths this week this week compared to last woke and 20 states trending down and 11 states holding steady and the saddest sattic of all, coronavirus deaths in the united states. as we get to 6 million, we'll get there sometime today, it's just instruct i have to watch how quickly this played out. first you had 1 million pack in april. took six weeks to get to 2

million in june and look at the devastation of the summer surge. a surge many public health experts say never should have happened. sunday we'll be just shy of 6 and we'll hit that number today. the trend line as this plays out. again, here's the low before the summer surge and then you come up, over 60,000s cases. last week we thought we'd get the baseline below 40,000, didn't happen. 1yu678d back up and sunday, that's the challenge, often you get a lower number on the weekend and then they jump back up. that's what happened last week. can we shove this baseline down below 40,000 or stay at the stubbornly high level right now? another way to look at the state map you are? don't want to be orange, red or gold. you want to be like this. this means fewer cases, see, fewer cases per 1 million residents. the northeast part of the country, yellow is okay. gold is getting worse. orange is worse still, pink and

red are higher rates. more cases can, more new infections per 1 million residents. look at all the pink and red. that's why dr. scott gotlieb says this country failed. over the summer it was absolutely imperative that the baseline be shoved way down, way below 30,000. he says it was a summer lost. >> august should have been a slow month. we should have seen infection levels come down in july and august. they didn't. we saw an epidemic cross over the sun belt and infections increased. the most concerning trend is as we see the cases fall in the sun belt they are picking up in other parts of the country, particularly across are the midwest and west and particularly in rural parts of the country. >> let's bring in our cnn. medical correspondent, a former cdc disease detective. good to see you. you hear scott gotlieb saying we lost the summer. that was the moment when you had it down to 20,000 infections on average in june, the moment where it was imperative to shove it down, get it below 20 and so

and instead we got up close to 70 and now we're somewhere around 40. listen to dr. deborah birx imploring people, traveling to states where they have college problems right now, outbreaks on campuses, imploring people, please, help. >> don't wait for the vaccine to do the right thing. do the right thing today because if we do the right thing today we go into the fall with much fewer cases. yes, i'm hopeful for a vaccine, but i'm also very convinced right now that we can stop community spread by wearing masks, social distancing and avoiding crowds. >> it is great advice from her, but, again, we're slow to shove the baseline down and, number, two, she's wearing a mask there as she speaks because she's at an event with people. the president and vice president we've seen them out campaigning and the convention events, very close proximity to people, not leadership by example. >> totally and actually even

frustrating to hear this from abs birx given what we know that this reporting has shown in the early months of the pandemic she was presenting an overly optimistic model of what was going to happen to the administration. that hurt her so, yes, she's giving a more coherent and better message now but it does feel like it's coming too late and i have to say dr. scott gotlieb is completely right. we shouldn't be where we are now or we wouldn't be if we had ramped up testing, if we had taken the right measures, if we had really, really suppressed viral spread before we reopened. instead sadly we're in the situation where we're still averaging about 1,000 americans dying every day from this disease, and our seven-day average for the number of new cases is somewhere between 35,000 new cases a day up to 50,000 cases a day. there's a really interesting new study that's coming from the university of utah, and it's showing us how the clusters have evolved between january and june so what they are saying is earlier in the pandemic in the u.s. there were really big

clusters, now since april onwards smaller clusters which sounds like good news except we are seeing smaller clusters but many more of them across the country. >> right, and you're starting to see that, a, across the country to begin with and now accelerating on college campuses which is if you look across the midwest numbers aren't as high as florida or texas or california in the summer but add them all up and you still get the same sad math. one of the questions is, you know, where is that vaccine chase, right? if we're going to deal with this, if we shouldn't shoved the baseline down the greatest benefit would be a vaccine. this is the fda commissioner saying it's up to the responson, the vaccine developer to apply for authorization or approval and we make an application of their application. we may find that appropriate or inappropriate. we'll make a determination. opening the door there that if one of the vaccine developers says i'm a third of the way through phase three, i feel good. i think it, would. we've proven efficacy that they would then put the vaccine out

and give it a normal use authorization before the normal process. good idea or bad idea? >> the problem here is that the credibility of the fda is crumbling before our eyes. this is an agency that so many of us in the scientific world have looked up to. we've trusted it. we've known that they had these really rigorous scientific protocols. that's all changed this year, john. in march the fda rushed through emergency use authorization of hydroxychloroquine after the president put very public political pressure on the agency. it rushed it through only to revoke it in june saying oh, you know, there's not enough and by the way hydroxychloroquine can cause really serious heart problems, and then a week ago you have the fda commissioner stand in front of the country and rush through emergency use authorization of convalescent plasma with the most flimsy scientific evidence. he misstated the efficacy of this treatment so that has a lot of us worrying about vaccines because we cannot rush this.

yes, we do have to do things quickly but not at the expense of safety and i've said this so many times, john, written about it at cnn.com. what good is a vaccine if many americans will not roll up their sleeves for it? the whole point of a vaccine is that you get herd immunity in a safe way but that means many people have to trust it. many people have to get vaccinated. if they don't, we can have a vaccine and it won't do us any good. >> the trust deficit is a problem along with everything else in this pandemic. doctor, grateful for your expertise and insights. thanks for being with us today. two months, a little more than two months to election day. top intelligence officials tell members of congress no more in-person briefings on election interference.

democrats now accusing the trump white house of trying to keep voters from learning more about 2020 russian election interference. u.s. intelligence officials are on record saying the kremlin is trying to help the president's re-election bid, but we know the president was furious when his own intelligence experts issued that finding, and now the director of national intelligence says congress will no-no longer get in-person briefings. instead, the dni says he'll send

up written updates to congress. top democrats see that as an effort to avoid detailed questions about creme lip and other election interference. let's check in with cnn's sunland serfaty. democrats are furious. the question is can they do anything about it? >> reporter: that's the next question that democrat up on the hill will have to answer. they are outraged. they are calling this move and this decision shameful. we heard from independent senator angus king a short time ago who says it looks like a pre-cover-up. it looked like they don't want to share information especially when it comes to potential russian interference in the upcoming election. members of congress had been expecting an in-person briefing up here on capitol hill, a classified briefing, so this is certainly an abrupt change, and as you noted it definitely means that they won't be able to have that back and forth in a classified setting asking questions and, of course, for democrats, drilling down on specifically the questions about

the russian interference. now, house intelligence chairman adam schiff says that he and democrat up here on capitol hill are weighing next steps. will you subpoena jebs officials to appear in public in a hearing before the election? >> that is certainly one of the tools that we may use. i can't speak for what decision we'll ultimately make. that's a decision that we'll have to go to the speaker, but we will compel the intelligence community to give congress the information that we need. >> reporter: now the dni director over the weekend was defending this move as we've heard, also president trump blaming it on congressional leaks that have happened in the past, but, of course, democrats up here, john, are not buying it. they say that a written briefing can just as easily be leaked as well. john. >> sunlen serfaty on the hill. appreciate the latest continuing drama. that will play out for a little bit. coming up for us, one new york university joining a list,

your campuses are in urban areas and some in much more remote areas. it's a big diverse state so there's not a one-size-fits-all but in terms trying to tackle the biggest problem which is communication so that you know about the cases, so that the students get tested, raise their hands and go into quarantine, how are you working on that? >> john, this about a media collaboration for communication. before i was each on my first day i was at five campus ed. i put 100 miles on the road already. we're going to go to every campus across the system. we're going to work actively with our students, with our faculty, with our staff and with our parents to instill confidence that we are attacking this beast which is covid-19 quickly as problems emerge, and you saw that in sunyoneonta. we knew there was a large party last week that resulted in several covid cases. 20 covid cases became 105 case. we stepped in immediately. the whole entire college system stepped up. our upstate medical if a sishlgts one of the premiere

medical universities in the nation is doing 75,000 tests a week through the suny system an thanks to the leadership of governor cuomo, we came in and intervened immediately. gave us 70 coffin tact tracers to help us monitor disease and set up three mobile testing sites for the entire community so we can control and contain outbreaks as they emerge >> you mentioned the governor. let's listen to a little bit of his voice essentially trying to tell people, you know, if you keep this small and contained, we can win. if you let this blow up into big clusters we've to the a problem. >> the lesson is always the same. if you are not prepared, if you don't have the right precautions or if you don't enforce the precautions, then the virus spreads, and then you have to take more dramatic action which is more disruptive and generates more energy -- more negative energy. >> what is the biggest lesson you have learned us a prepared? i know today is day one on the

job, and you'll learn many more lessons, jim, but in terms of trying to communicate that message from the governor and try to communicate it into a language that 18-year-old, 19-year-old and 20-year-olds listen to, not only listening to you about have a plan, be careful and cautious, but communicate with each other. >> individual responsibility for the greater collective good, one individual's action can impact everyone on our college community so you could be that freshman who thinks i'm going to be party and i'm not going to get sick, but you could actually impact seniors who want to graduate on campus. they want to stay on campus. everyone plays a role here, so we're going to be enforcing this with the strongest terms. we've already suspended dozens of our students for violating codes of conduct. we have to instill in people that it's not just your actions. your actions have consequences on everyone else. it could impact our faculty and get them sick. it couple pact the student body population so we're going to keep reinforcing that message saying we want to keep these colleges open.

john, by the way, i'm the first suny graduate ever to be chancellor. i'm proud of that. i enenjoyed my college career on our campuses. we have a great university system but can't ruin it for everyone else. clearly it shows that covid is not over yet. covid still exists. we can't rest on our laurels and say we're out of the woods. hope this serves as a wake-up call that one party can result in hundreds of cases and i do think our students want to be back on campus enjoying activities in a new and different kind of way. social sidesing is great, but we have to do this differently and we have to control this virus, and i'll keep reinforcing that and also enforcing discipline because we can't have this get out of control across the state. >> it's a remarkable challenge. day one on the job for the new chancellor of the suny system. i would keep a journal. there's a book to be written starting your job in the middle of this one. appreciate your time. we'll keep in touch as we get

through. we wish you the best of luck. >> thank you, john. >> thank you, sir. let's continue the conversation. dr. deborah birx of the white house coronavirus task force responding to the outbreaks at colleges and universities. her message to those on campus, do not go home. >> remember, most universities students are not going to know they are infect. they are not knowingly transmitting the virus to others. >> let's discuss with an an infectionous disease expert. a lot of parents would think my child has been test positive for covid and more child is in a dorm where they have a problem and want to get them home. should they stay? >> i completely agree with that recommend dag. they should stay put in the college setting. they should not go home. the if they do go hole, they are going to spread the virus into their loved ones, their family members and the rest of the community. the way this virus works is through respiratory droplets from them, talking laughing and

them not wearing masks, and if they go home and they are amountic, they are silent spreaders. they are going to spread that virus to other people in their community. >> so we're at this remarkable moment in the sense we just went through a horrific summer surge in cases. it's come down some. the national baseline around 40,000 cases a day right now, and you have colleges and universities reopening with different plans, some on campus, some all online and some hybrid. if you look at this map, in 36 states, at least in 36 states at a minimum covid cases reported students back on campus, more than 9,000 such cases. walk through the challenge here. some cases are inevitable. we knew that. that's not the problem. the issue is can you manage it and contain it in that peculiar college university environment? what's the challenge? >> the challenge is that these are college students. let's think back as to when you were in college, when i was in college. we were just not going to follow these procedures. we cared more about going and

socializing with our friends and being off campus and -- and that's an environment where it can spread. there's mass gatherings. these college students will not be wearing their masks. they will not be social distancing. they will not be living like monks, and that is the difference in these college settings is that these are students, and they are 18 to 22 years old, and they are not going to abide by these rules, and that is what leads to this virus spreading, and they are cause considering an outbreak. it's going to be very hard for most of these colleges to continue. we've already seen that. the university of alabamasy think front page everywhere with about 1,500 cases and spreading day by day. university of north carolina at chapel hill, they reversed. they have decided to take -- have their students go back to their community as they have seen outbreaks. i don't think that that's a good approach. >> grateful for your insights

and expertise at this moment, difficult moment on these campus eds. we'll keep in touch. thank you very much. >> thank you. >> thank you. up next for us, you see the protests around the country. you see some violence. how much of it is organized by armed vigilante groups? how much of it? spur of the moment.
