its ability to identify the virus through testing and isolate it. >> don't miss "fight for the white house" tonight 10:00 p.m. earn here on cnn. brook baldwin picks up our coverage right now. john, thank you so much. good afternoon to you all. thank you for joining us on this special labor day edition of "cnn newsroom." pr president trump is expected to take questions from reporters who are there and of course we'll take that live. the news conference comes as the president's response to the coronavirus pandemic continues to be called into question despite his boasts today that he is getting quote very high marks. this is all happening as fears mount that we will see new outbreaks similar to what we witnessed after memorial day

holiday weekend and of course fourth of july with americans packing beaches and parks and attending large parties this holiday weekend. here's a sign that americans may be feeling a bit more relaxed, the tsa says that it screened nearly 1 million people on friday and that is the most air travelers on a single day since the pandemic began. all of this comes as we prepare to enter flu season with the numbers already reaching staggering levels in this country and nearly 189,000 americans killed. close to 6.3 million people infected. we'll get to those various threads in a second but to the white house and let's get back to president trump's news conferen conference getting under way shortly there. jeremy diamond is there. it's an unusual setup for the press conference. what are you expecting? >> reporter: it is an unusual set up and never seen the president or any other in recent

memory on the north steps and typically used for ceremonial arrivals, heads of states but not for something like this. but this seems to follow a pattern of the white house to use the white house as he campaigning for re-election and this is labor day as we call it the unofficial start of the fall campaign and in eight weeks americans head to the polls on election day and the president has a slew of stories that he's facing right now, perhaps negative headlines he doesn't want to deal with. there's the article alleging that the president claimed that fallen soldiers are suckers and losers. over the weekend several news outlets confirming key facets of that article. we have gotten excerpts of this book by michael cohen, the president's long time former aide and fixer who makes a series of allegations of the president's conduct in private including racist comments that

michael cohen said that the president made. both stories i expect are things that the president will be asked questions about if he allows some more mainstream media outlets to take questions. the president gravitates to the more friendly outlets attending the briefings but the president wants to talk about something else, the economy and the state of affairs and expects to have your fact checker ready because the president has been on twitter this morning claiming that this is the fastest economic recovery ever happened and touting the jobs numbers. it is true that the economy added 1.4 million jobs in the latest jobs report, unemployment down to 8.4% and what the president isn't talking about is the fact that those numbers show that the economic recovery is slowing and actually losing momentum and now the key question is can that economic recovery be sustained without additional support from the

federal government? >> to further your point, permanent job losses increased. we will stay tuned to all of those key questions and hopefully will be asked. i thank you very much. i want to get bag ck to coronavirus concerns. we are seeing beaches packed from coast to coast. cnn's rosa flores is live for us in miami beach. rosa, like the hat. how busy is it where you are? >> reporter: let me show you around. walk with me, brooke. this is iconic miami beach. you can see that there are definitely groups of people, most of them i can say are social distancing. the furniture out here you can also see is separated. more than six feet apart to allow for social distancing. some people are wearing masks or

have them with them. take a look around and once you are in the ocean you don't need to be wearing a mask per the rules here. they have a campaign called mask up or pay up. there are fines dperepending one municipality and can vary from $50 to $100 and if you are a business up to $500. but let's take a look at the national picture. at the height of the pandemic, of course, this is the worry of many experts is we could see a surge just like we did after memorial day holiday and after july fourth at the height of the surge here in the united states we were reporting more than 60,000 cases a day, now it's closer to 40,000. here in south florida, where i am, the cases are between 2,000 and 3,000 cases but florida at the height of the pandemic was reporting at the height more

than 15,000 cases so that gives you an idea of some of the cases and some of the stabilization here in florida. right now positivity rate in the past two weeks between 6% and 11% but officials are very concerned about a possible surge post the labor day weekend and, of course, what they worry about is not just what you see out here out and about but what is happening in private homes and rentals. that was the problem last time because people were having big parties and large gatherings at rentals, rental properties and or at their homes and that's where the transmission happened because the beaches on memorial weren't open. >> unless you get a test for every single person through the front door you blink and then someone is sick and just a private gathering. take it from the rock and how

they got sick. rosa flores, thank you very much. people are traveling this holiday weekend. the tsa is reporting a single day record for airline passengers since the pandemic began. cnn aviation correspondent pete mo maun teen and why do you think it's so busy? >> reporter: it's glimmer hope of the industry struggling. the numbers are a fraction of what they were before the pandemic and the tsa thinks about a million people pass through security on monday, a number not seen since march. the tsa says 960,000 people flew on friday. that number about 45% of a year ago. the average still hovering around 30% meaning that airlines are seeing a stair step recovery back to normal. airlines are trying to show that you can be confident in flying

again with the stepped up cleaning procedures and mask policies. entirely different experience here at security. the tsa installed barriers in the security line to protect you from employees and changed procedures having you empty the pockets into the bag rather than the typical trays to avoid extra touch points and here they have a new machine that scans your i.d. and your face to prove that it is really you. the airline travel industry is desperate for a real rebound and weeks away until tens of thousands of airline employees furloughed and hoping that this is the start of a real recovery. >> pete, thank you. colleges continue to be a major worry across the country with thousands of cases in all 50 states linked to the opening of college campuses. alexandria field is live in new

york with that angle. what are colleges trying to do? >> reporter: everything they can, brooke, throwing everything at it. bringing students back to campus was always going to be a biggest challenge to face with this pandemic. we are seeing it in states across the country. some schools cracking down. nyu here suspending some 20 students for violating the safety protocols and similar at northeastern with 11 students with a draconian response, they will not get their tuition reimbursed. other schools are monitoring, seeing what happens whether the semester progresses and strengthening the recommendations. university of indiana seeing an outbreak among the greek system and recommend that students move out of fraternity and sorority houses and university of illinois recommend limiting activities to essentials only and tall orders and here in new

york state we are seeing perhaps the furthest end of the spectrum. there was an outbreak, they continue to monitor that and putting the in-person classes on pause and now canceling in-person classes for the rest of the semester and students off campus and it is proving to be an insurmountable challenge there. we'll keep our eye on that and expect to see more of this to come. >> i'm sure we will. it is ground zero for covid clusters and just the wide variety of responses from the schools and in northeastern they don't get the tuition back. wow. >> there's a lesson. >> yeah. maine is a somber reminder how fast and far coronavirus can spread. a third person has died after an outbreak that originated with a small, intimate wedding. the nuptials august 7th led to nearly 150 infections. more than 50 cases are tied to

the wedding event itself. the main cdc believes more than a dozen people at a nursing home got coronavirus and more than 0 cases at the york county jail all from the wedding. both locations are more than 100 miles from the site of the wedding and dr. shaw is the director of the cdc in maine. so, doctor, thank you so much for joining me. i want to jump right into your interesting way of explaining this outbreak comparing it to glitter. explain please, sir. >> well, thanks for having me on, brooke. that's right. this outbreak has really illustrated why coronavirus is such a challenging thing to contend with. the way i think about it in my own head is like a giant tube of glitter and open it up in the basement and then a few weeks later in the attic and find glitd glitter everywhere and you have

no idea of it got there. that's how covid-19 can spread across a wide population except for the fact that the glitter here is not inokay wous. it's challenging and it's led to three fatalities among individuals who did not actually attend the wedding itself. >> can you explain that? i know you reference secondary and tertiary cases but how do you get from folks sick at a wedding to folks in a nursing home and then jail, none of whom or some of whom were not at the wedding? >> and the setting of the nursing home, for example, it was a secondary person, so someone relatted to somebody at the wedding who happened to be an employee of the nursing home. the jail it was at least one individual who happened to be at the wedding itself august 7th and then into the jail.

what really this illustrates is that covid-19 is not just a challenge. we have all known that. but what it really demonstrates is how as we go into seasons where a lot of tifactivity's liy to be back in as cooler weather sets in, the things we thought to be protective in the summer like being outdoors as we go back indoors the importance of things like face coverings take on an even heightened importance now. >> and to continue with your analogy, the easier to find glitter in the confines of one's home. to vaccine news, you have expressed news of a vaccine before the phase three trials are complete and according to "wall street journal," the drug companies, the big drug companies competing against each other for a vaccine are issuing a public pledge not to seek government approval until the

shots have been proven safe and effective. does this at least allay some of your concerns? >> it does assuage some of the concerns but we're in a position of representatives of farm su pharmaceutical companies to take this step. we shouldn't have to have this conversation. >> why are we having it? i want to hear it from you as an m.d. why is it telling? >> what i think is telling is that the entire system that we have of pharmaceuticals, especially when it comes to vaccines, in a time of high anxiety and low trust, the entire system is predicated on one thing, credibility or trust. in a crisis like we are in right now credibility and trust are pretty much the only things we have got and moves of this nature, if it were to happen, we don't know if the route is

through this abbreviated approval process yet but it would raise genuine questions about the public's trust of any vaccine, not only would that affect the potential uptake of the vaccine itself but other long lasting impacts on the public health system as a whole. what's concerning is recent data from a cbs ugov poll, two months ago about 32% of americans said they would take a vaccine asap and then down to 21%. that is concerning and we have got more work to do. >> doctor, thank you very much for coming on. >> thank you. >> thank you. as we mentioned, a little bit ago, live pictures here north port cico at the white house. president trump makes bold claims about the severity of the

pandemic. record heat fueling these multiple massive wildfires in california. and authorities say one of those fires was actually sparked by a device at a gender reveal party. drugmakers with promising coronavirus vaccines still need more black and latino participants for trials. what can it can mean for the race to get a vaccine to the public ahead. you are watching cnn. when the world gets complicated, a lot goes through your mind. how long will this last?

we are back. you are watching cnn. with more than 2 million acres scorched, california's wildfires this year have become the worst in state history. and it's only september. this is the mammoth pool

reservoir area where at least 224 people rescued, a fire blocked the only road out. the governor of california declared a state of emergency in five counties. cnn correspondent dan simon is live at an evacuation center near fresno. they have investigated a cause of a larger fire. >> reporter: yeah, hi, brooke. the gender reveal parties are more elaborate thanks to social media and soon to be parents apparently lobbed a firework and sparked a fire and now you have an out of control wildfire, 7,000 acres or so burned, 7% containment and evacuations and crews doing the best to put out that fire but it just goes to show you what can happen if you put fireworks up in fire season when things are very dry. we are near fresno. we are at a school where the red cross is set up an evacuation

center for the more serious fire burning in central california, the creek fire. you did have some 200 or so people at the boat launch at the mammoth pool reservoir and thanks to military helicopters they got them out. it was definitely a harrowing situation. fortunately just a few minor injuries, some minor burns apparently and broken bones and definitely some rattled nerves but, brooke, the serious concern is the heat, triple digit temperatures and the wind, expected to be windy tomorrow with red flag warnings and hopefully crews make progress today because the containment is zero and we are just at the beginning of this wildfire season. normally things really heat up in october. we are at the beginning of september and looking at a very long fire season, already the

sarah huckabee sanders may no longer be the white house press secretary but she is the latest ally of president trump's to rush to his defense after that recent article in "the atlantic" alleged he referred to fallen u.s. service members as losers and suckers. denying the report even as multiple outlets confirmed several details and the biden campaign is using the trump words against him in an ad targeting military families. ♪

let's go to gloria borger, she is in washington, our cnn chief political analyst. listen. how many times have we talked about how the president is no stranger to controversial remarks? >> yes. >> surely he will be asked about this today if a mainstream outlet asks a question but could this time be different or might it have a significant impact on the campaign? >> i'm going to quote from our own numbers guru here at cnn saying that active military and veterans combined are about 12% of the voting population so it's large and donald trump generally does well with them. and i think this is something that clearly the trump campaign is worried about. you saw the way the president and lots of his advisers have

been strongly pushing back against it including sarah huckabee sanders and they will continue to push back against it. i think the real question is will somebody go on the record, talking about this? and the president already disparaged general kelly in kind of a prebuttal saying that, you know, he couldn't handle the job at the white house but we have to see how this story continues to play out. >> as you point identity it out just the cnn. let's tack about this project you have been working on for quite a while. you sat down with the former vice president joe biden and a number of people close to him as part of this new cnn documentary on his life and career and in one part he speaks about the very first race back in 1972. let's roll the clip. >> it was audacious if not arrogant for biden to run as a 29-year-old underdog candidate

of change against a well liked republican senator named kale bogs. >> what is your last name? >> miller. >> i know the miller family. >> governor of the state for two terms, member of congress for three terms and running for a third term in the united states congress. he was loved, i mean, he was loved. >> once again, biden asked valerie to run the show. >> i remember saying to him, joey, i can't run a statewide campaign. i don't know how to do that. >> she reached toutd a local democratic party activist ted kauffman. >> i went down and talked to him. you are running on civil rights? you are running on environment? you are running on tax reform? and those are really good irses. silence. but i don't think you have a chance of winning. >> you said what? >> i don't think you have a chance of winning. >> and his reaction to that was? >> just come and help me. we'll see. >> biden was confident he could talk his way into voters' hearts

but what kauffman saw was bleak. >> on labor day we did a big-time poll. you know what the number was? 47% for bogs, 19% for biden. >> it was the first year 18-year-olds could vote and they saw a candidate promising that he understands what's happening today. 50 years later, this time as a political elder trying to kektd with young voters, it's still his mantra. >> they have this funny feeling that kale bogs just -- his heart wasn't in it. he was talked into returning one more time by richard nixon. >> and then -- >> snuck up on him. everybody expected no democrat to win and that was the truth. >> won by a rousing 3,100 votes. >> gloria, we heard from joe biden's sister valerie and helped run every campaign -- >> everything. >> in his life.

what is their relationship like? >> it's really close. i was asking biden about her and he teared up about her. she is with him in every campaign. they are a very close family. but i think val has been by his side. if you saw -- i don't know if you remember the pictures of super tuesday where they were kind of -- he had his arm up, jill biden in one arm and his sister val in the other so i think it really couldn't be closer. she is very involved in this campaign, obviously. he's run for the presidency a couple times before this where it didn't go so well so she's kind of hoping it is better this time. >> yeah. we'll be tuning in. >> thank you. >> so, gloria -- >> my covid project. >> 2020 project. >> right. >> thanks to you. stories of joe biden and then we'll also hear donald trump and their fight for the white house. the back to back documentary event starting tonight 8:00

eastern here only on cnn. please tune in for that. very shortly, president trump is expected to take questions from reporters at the white house. we'll bring that to you live in just a moment. you know when your dog is itching for an outing... or itching for some cuddle time. but you may not know when he's itching for help... licking for help... or rubbing for help.

scientists racing to develop a coronavirus vaccine are still struggling to recruit people of color to join the clinical trials. moderna beginning phase trials in the united states increased its enrollment of volunteers but it is still not everyone close they say to the levels they need. their participation is critical

because as you know people of color are disproportionately impacted by coronavirus. president trump promises a vaccine by the end of the year or maybe sooner. he says perhaps before the election. but that is something democratic vice presidential nominee kamala harris tells cnn she would not trust at face value. >> i would not trust donald trump, and it would have to be a credible source of information that talks about the efficacy and the reliability of whatever he's talking about. i will not take his word for it. >> with me now, michael rous who's among the first volunteers for the moderna vaccine. michael, thank you so much for being on with me. and the obvious question is, why. why did you want to volunteer? how's it been going so far? >> i wanted to volunteer because of the news reports saying that they were unable to get afric

african-americans and other minorities to participate. it is important that we step up and i've been fairly healthy all my life and that's because of vaccines. and this vaccine is very important for the minority community because between april and august there's been over 35,000 african-americans die from this disease. so i wanted to use myself as an example of someone who was not afraid to step up, take the vaccine and i got my first shot in september 20th. and i've been doing fine ever since. the moderna vaccine is not like vaccines used to be. i think that information needs to be pushed out more into the minority community to make sure people understand this is a new

type of vaccine. they're not using any part of the virus. they're actually using your body, the cells in your body to generate the spike protein that mimics the virus so it's very safe a safe. >> i know you september 20th. we're not quite -- did you mean august 20th when it started? >> yeah, yeah. i meant august 20th. >> no, no i know. if you were to put a name on -- i mean, thank goodness you're healthy and good on you for stepping up but do you have any concerns? if you had to say this is my one concern, what would it be? >> well, my one concern probably is that the test needs to go through its cycle. i think because these are new ways of developing vaccines, we

don't know -- i'm not a doctor by any means. i'm just a regular guy on the street but what i see is, you know, we don't know how long it is going to last because it hasn't been in human testing for a year yet. they just started phase one testing some time in i believe march. but other than that, i have no concerns because the vaccine will eventually dissipate in your body once it does what it needs to do. >> glad to hear you. michael, forgive me. i need to -- you are upstaged by the president of the united states. we need to listen in. >> on the opposite side of john mccain. john mccain liked wars. when we fight a war we will win them and frankly i was never a fan of john mccain. you know that. it's been very obvious. but i had to approve his entire funeral. he deserved a first class -- it was approved by me.

a lot of things. i was not a fan of john mccain because he wanted the endless wars and i didn't. i thought that the way that the vets were taken care of was not good, not appropriate. of course, he took the fake dirty dossier and gave it >> i lived with him, me lived with me. i think my philosophy was right. but i was ant fan. but i respect people. and i respect a rot of people. that doesn't mean i necessarily have to agree with them. and i didn't agree with him in a lot of things. the story is a hoax. written by guy who's got a tremendously bad history. i hear it's totally antitrump. he's a big obama person a big

clinton person. and said now he's -- i think that's number 15. and that's the 15ing mursen. everybody that was there. knew what happened. and so i was happy to see that zack came out and said it isn't true and it's a disgrace. who would say a thing like that? on only animal would say a thing wliek that. there's nobody that has more respect for military, and people who gave their lives and i think john kelly knows that. but he worked for john and i think they both know that when zack came out today and said very strongly that he didn't hear anything like that. even john bolton said that wasn't true.

what was true is we had the worst weather. and it was a fog that you literally couldn't see. i didn't see somebody to tell me. and they said no, sir, that's been cancelled. they go through a very busy section of the day in paris. they would have had to go through the city. asking us, please don't do it. when you need that, you need a lot of time. they take days and days to prepare for that. i wanted to do it badly. i was willing to sit in a car for two hours, three hours and i had nothing else to do. i went there for that. it was ended because of the terrible weather and nobody was prepared to go through, in terms of paris, the police, the

military, and the secret service. and they came out very strongly and said, sir, we can't allow you to make this trip. sir, we can't allow you, from a safety standpoint. it was a phoney story, just like the fake, phoney dossier, all the other phoney stories and there will be more. but i do appreciate zack coming out, but he's the 15th person that's denied it. zack now, i think, also talked about the weather aspect of it and he's the 14th or 15th person that blamed it on weather. so, that's enough of that. please. >> thank you for holding the briefing. we're seeing judges limit police ability to limit nonlethal force. should the police be allow to use nonlethal force in the violence in their cities?

>> i think what's happened is the toughness. these are democrat-run cities, all. and there's no retribution. they stand there. they throw things at the people that are supposed to be protecting something and nothing happens. they throw rocks, cans of soup. they throw lots of hard objects. and rarely does anything happen. what i've told, when we have the federal in there -- i told the u.s. marshals to get the man who killed a -- another man and they know who it was. and you have to arrest him. you have to arrest him. after two and a half days, they didn't arrest him. it ended up being a gun fight sdh man was killed. but this is a man that had a bad record and a man that killed a man in the street. i witnessed it, most people witnessed it. they weren't playing games.

they can't play games. if somebody is breaking the lieu, there has got to be a form of retribution. when we watch the areas we're talking about. now we have rochester. that's democrat governor, democrat mayor. democrats everyone of them and it always will be. i was with the governor in texas and he said i can't imagine how we they let this happen. it's different. go ahead. >> and we're hearing reports of black lives matter leaving their home cities to go riot and protest in other cities where they're causing damage. do we expect to see prosecution traveling for that purpose? >> so, we have over 1,000 people, federal, in jail. we're prosecuting many people. when i signed the law, if you knock down monuments, there

hasn't been a federal monument knocked down in months. i don't think they've even thought about it. that's had a big impact. we're going around and the nice part is take those people out there, they take nice pictures of everybody. we can use the news photos. we had a photo over there of andrew jackson, the monument. and this guy was a big, brave guy and he was showing off to all his friends and he got arrested. and i would say we have the ultimate proof. and i got there before we ripped down the statue of andrew jackson. and they have other ideas. they have plenty of ideas.

>> thank you for taking my question. sir, you talked a lot about the economy and touted the economy. three weeks ago i asked you specifically whyia have not called democratic leadership to the white house to meet with them. if they don't want to, it's on them. i cover you on the weekends and stuff. >> i don't think so. >> why have you not met with them in person. i know my customers. that's what i do. i know pelosi and schumer very well. they think it's good for politics if they don't make a deal. these are people that i don't have a lot of respect. i don't think they have a lot of respect for the american people and i know who i'm dealing with.

i don't need to meet with them to be turned down. they don't want to make a deal because they know that's good for the economy. and if they make a deal good for the economy, and therefore, they're not going to make a deal. now, if we gave the store away, if we bailed out all their democrat-run cities, will we give them a trillion dollars, which is the kind of money they want? they want a trillion dollars to bailout badly run cities and states, whether it's illinois or others, they want to bail them out and we're saying we're not going to pay them that kind of a price. that's going to have to rest on its own. they could have done it at the beginning. so, i know who i'm dealing with and i'm on the phone with mnuchin and meadows and all of these people constantly. while they're there.

i know when it's time for me. but i don't need to meet them to be turned down and walk to the sticks, which is the microphones and give you people a false report of what took place in the oval office. so, they don't want to make a deal because they think if the country does as badly as possible, even though a lot of people are being hurt, that's good for the democrats. but david, that's a bad thing. >> shouldn't you take the high road, sir? >> i'm taking the high road by not seeing them. that's the high road. and if i thought it made a difference or would, i'd do it in a minute. >> david jackson. my question is about the durham report. you said let's see what happens. you've accused people of committing crime against you in the russian investigation. >> they spied on my campaign and if they were democrats, they would have been in jail two years ago.

literally, if the democrats, they would have been in jail two years ago for treason and other things. >> my question is do you want the justice department to indict people over is that? >> i'm not going to say that. i to see the report. i don't know if that's a good thing, smart thing. but i have every right to have been very much involved and maybe one day i'll get involved. they spied on my campaign and that includes biden and obama. they spied on my campaign trying to defeat me. they wrote up a fake dossier, proven by christopher steel and they used that illegally in the pfizer courts. if we did what they did, you would have many people in jail right now and you have, other than the one agent that admitted his guilt, that he forged documents, we don't have that yet. let's see what happens. let me j
