9:00 am
hello to our viewers in the united states and around the world. thank you for sharing this very busy, very sad breaking news day with us. we begin the hour with a horrifying statistic. the united states registered 200,000, 200,000 coronavirus deaths. dr. fauci this morning in an interview with dr. gupta calls that milestone sobering and stunning and dr. fauci has big
9:01 am
concerns about the current case level, the rise in new infections but he says a fall slide in hospitalizations and deaths is not inevitable. the advice, follow the data. do what we know works. >> we have to keep that slope coming down and you do that by looking at where you are, in what region of the country, and acting accordingly according to the guide lines. sanjay, that's not rocket science. it is pretty clear. if we warrant to enter the falld winter at a low level we have to act now to do the things that we have been saying. >> 200,000. 200,000 american lives lost is hard to measure. hard to swallow. that's the population of grand rapids, michigan. huntsville, alabama. salt lake city, utah. 200,000 americans lost to the coronavirus. every single one of them a person with a family and listen
9:02 am
to the president of the united states last night telling a crowd nobody died who wasn't already at risk. >> it affects elderly people. urge, in some states nobody young vi. it is an amazing thing. >> that was the president. dr. fauci this morning says the science, the evidence, the facts tell us something very, very different. >> it's very disrespectful to me because i'm in my 70s. i'm like your father. i could be your father, sanjay. the thing we need to remember, sanjay, that there are a number of people in our society of substantial proportion who have underlying conditions and looking at the two groups at risk for serious conditions is the elderly and people at any age with underlying conditions.
9:03 am
underlying, any age. >> 200,000 americans killed by coronavirus is a numbing, numbing, painful statistic. most public health experts would tell you it didn't have to happen. where are we going turning from summer againing the fall. look at the trends. they're bad. we are heading in the wrong direction. 24 states, 8 of them in the deep red, 50% more infections, new infections this week than last week. 50% or more new infections this week compared to last week. 24 in all heading in the wrong state. only 6 states reporting fewer infections this week compared to last week. this is one month ago. beginning to head in the right direction. 25 states trending down. that's the way you want to be going. not this way, especially as we
9:04 am
head into the fall, the cooler weather, more people heading inside. this is what the case curve looks like that fills in the map. 52,000 new infections just yesterday. we need to watch the number closely. this is a one-day blip or back above 50,000 new infections a day? close to 70,000 at the summer surge and then below 40 and back up heading in the wrong direction right now. the president said we rounded the final turn. that is heading back up the hill and with more cases sadly you get more deaths. 200,000 milestone reached today and 20 states right now reporting more coronavirus deaths this week compared to last week. 21 going down. so there's more pain and suffering on this map. 200,000 deaths. you go back to march as this began. you see the climb. 200,000. that's the population of grand
9:05 am
rapids, michigan. 200,000 americans killed by the coronavirus. the question is, will it get worse or better? the map is troubling. 27 states in red right here. higher positivity rates this weekore people have more positivity this week compared to last week, that tells you especially when you have the case count heading in the wrong direction we have taken a turn for the worse. dr. fauci says it is imperative that all americans following the government's advice. >> masks work. physical distancing works. avoiding crowds work. thank you, sanjay, for giving me the opportunity to be on television now to say that. that is the fact. so people should not worry that that's wrong or something to change. this is where we are and it's based on fact.
9:06 am
>> dr. gounder is a former assistant new york city commissioner of health. we have had many sad conversations over six months, 200,000 americans lost, again, huntsville, alabama, salt lake city, grand rapids, michigan, gone. somebody's son or daughter or a spouse, somebody's partner. listen to the president of the united states last night who seems to me this is callous saying the people that died, they had problems anyway. >> now we know it. it affects elderly people, elderly people with heart problems and other problems. if they have other problems. that's what it really affects. that's it. in some states thousands of people, nobody young. below the age of 18, like nobody. it affects. virtually nobody. it is an amazing thing.
9:07 am
>> i don't have words for that. i'm not sure if you do. >> john, i think this is one of the greatest tragedies in american history, not least because these 200,000 deaths, those deaths were preventible. we have had the means to control the virus. we have had the tools, we haven't had the resolve. other countries made use of the tools, masks, social distancing, south korea, singapore, australia. and they have managed to contain the virus. we chose not to and i think to now say that this is only a problem of the elderly as dr. fauci noted, it's much broader than that. there's so many people in this country with preexisting conditions, including hypertension, diabetes, the virus doesn't care if you're diagnosed or not. half of americans under 65 have a preexisting condition and many of us are very much at risk.
9:08 am
>> you look at the rear-view mirror, approaching 7 million infections in the united states of america. 200,000 deaths. and then look at the data right now. 52,000 new infections yesterday. averaging somewhere in the ballpark of 40,000 new infections a day. dr. fauci says this is a problem because of where we are on the calendar. >> when you have a very low baseline and you start to get the blips as i call them, you don't want them to turn into surges or rebounds and when you have a lot of cases floating around it is much more difficult to contain that than if you have a relatively low number so that when those cases appear you can contain as opposed to having to jump over to mitigation. >> he says when you have a very low baseline, said this for sometime. trying to be diplomatic because
9:09 am
he gets in trouble when he is honest. memorial day we were around 18,000 new infections a day and now back above 40,000 a day. that is not a low baseline as we head binto the fall. that says be worried, right? >> i'm worried. we start with a high plateau in contrast to european countries which did manage to really bring the level of transmission down. they are just like us seeing an increase but in our case it is an increase, yes, rounding the corner, a spike up on top of a very high plateau so this is very concerning. >> very concerning you say. there's been confusion. we have talked about this. i want you to listen to dr. fauci here with the cdc withdrew some guidelines it had posted about how the coronavirus is transmitted. dr. fauci today not criticizing the cdc but essentially saying he agrees with the guide lines
9:10 am
they took down. >> you can make a reasonable assumption, sanjay, that some aspect of transmission can be and is by aerosol. the interesting thing about that, it doesn't change anything that we have been saying. it means wear your mask, avoid close contact. it means avoid crowds and the third or fourth thing i mentioned is outdoors is better than indoors because if you have aerosol indoor you consider some recirculation. >> my understanding is this aerosol transmission is the virus lingers in the air perhaps longer than people anticipated. >> that's right. this is something we have known since at least february or march, that the virus can be transmitted through aerosols that it is airborne and droplets spread. i think what we still are
9:11 am
debating is to what degree is it one versus the other? but big picture for the general public, it is the same measures that you need to take. you need to wear a mask, stay a minimum of six feet from other people, spend as much time o outdoors as possible and if you are indoors it should be well ventilated. my only hope is that if people are aware that this is airborne that maybe if they were reluctant to wear masks before that this is further reason to do so. >> we can hope. dr. gounder, grateful for your time. supreme court battle, senate republicans say they have the votes to push through a supreme court nominee and to push that nominee through before the election. nellie young lost her devoted husband. without him, things were tough. her last option was to sell her home, but...

9:14 am
9:15 am
the president promises to unveil the supreme court pick this weekend and demands a full senate vote before the election.
9:16 am
looks very much like the president will get his way. consider this a green light. >> the nominee's going to be supported by every republican in the judiciary committee and we've got the votes to confirm the judge, the justice on the floor of the senate before the election and that's what's coming. >> and this today, too, senator mitt romney says if the nominee reaches the senate floor i intend to vote based on the qualifications and another says the president should act now. let's get to kaitlan collins at the white house. the president gets his wish. the republicans were nervous and might have said, no, slow down, are getting in line for a fast track way. next move is the president's, kaitlan. >> reporter: yep, as republicans lock down support on capitol hill for moving forward, the president is at the white house narrowing down his list of who it is that he is going to pick which he says will happen on saturday and still not sure of the timing. we are hearing of in the
9:17 am
afternoon on saturday and of course that is still fluid and the president focusing on who his pick is going to be and meeting with several of the candidates including amy coney barrett yesterday at the white house for several hours, a meeting we are told to cement the status as the clear favorite in the eyes of the white house, a meeting that lasted several hours meeting with president trump and the white house counsel pat cipollone, playing a key role on this with mark meadows and how many other candidates is the president going to meet with? he likes the idea of keeping this competitive, keeping other names in the ring right now because he likes this idea of suspense. we have seen that before. but what we are hearing from sources is that amy coney barrett is a clear favorite inside the white house, that helped the president second meeting with her and comes as barbara lagoa on the short list initially had a lot of
9:18 am
excitement from the president himself on saturday and we are told by source that is started to fade away aabut are likely going to schedule a meeting on friday and doesn't seem certain at this point. it is something that they're in the process of working on and trying to make sure they have who the nominee is going to be and with the republican support c coalescing, they feel good because the president does want this to happen before voters go to the polls on november 3rd. >> kaitlan collins, she is, of course, on the hillside in bufrl pittsburgh where the president has a rally later this afternoon. straight up to come hill and phil mattingly. the indications today are full speed ahead for the republicans. >> reporter: no question. if you talk to people on friday night, they would have told you that the idea that republicans would have the votes ready to
9:19 am
move forward within four days would be crazy except that's where they are and i think the explanation as to why they have gotten to this point given 2016 blocking president obama's nominee is instructive. the outside groups working on this, they underscore a couple points. the court is bigger than the president. this is not a president trump thing or a loyalty to president trump thing. th this is the idea of shifting the court to 6-3 majority and a decade a person said we couldn't dream of. there's excitement inside the senate republican conference of the possibility that amy coney barrett could be the choice. mitch mcconnell saying the nomination would be welcomed by republicans and certainly advocate strongly for that in the days and weeks ahead and important to note here that people trying to game out the
9:20 am
electoral dynamics, for the vast majority of them up for re-election in tight races that aren't named susan collins, leaving the president on any issue, particularly on the issue of judges and on the issue of a conservative justice which republicans have confirmed by the hundreds over the course of three and a half years is an impossibility is what i'm told right now and looks like not only to move but move fast and likely before the election and you should expect a hearing scheduled and lindsey graham shortly after the president makes a pick on saturday. >> phil mattingly, appreciate the live report. let's continue with maggie haberman of "the new york times." there are a lot of republican that is don't like the president and often said but we like the tax cuts, but we like deregulation. listen to senator romney saying he's one they were hoping for and mitt romney saying we know
9:21 am
he is not a big fan of the president but america deserves a conservative court. >> the decision to proceed now with the president trump's nominee is also consistent with history. i came down on the side of the constitution and precedent as i studied it and also appropriate for a nation that is if you will center right to have a court to reflect center right points of view and not changing the law but following the law and the constitution. >> a 6-3 supreme court majority is a republican dream that may happen in a trump presidency but almost nothing to do with president trump. >> that's -- to a point. it does have something to do with president trump. he could say no but it is true that president trump did not come into the white house with some clearly defined ideology. this is a program on judge that is's been constructed by a number of people over the years.
9:22 am
this will be what the president knows he will be remembered for. i think the people who thought that mitt romney was a resistance figure hero is a conservative person that represents a very conservative state. mitt romney flip flopped over the years but generally speaking he held conservative positions, particularly on issues like these and matches the state he represents. within the white house there's clear consensus around barrett, that is she is well ahead by a mile from other candidates who are at this point i think nominally mentioned and only one the president met with. i don't know that he'll meet with barbara lagoa and people who tell me that might happen say it would be something of a box check. barring the unforeseen, amy coney barrett is likely to be who the president chooses. >> and whatever you think of president trump three supreme court justices and then dozens
9:23 am
of district court and appeals court judges, this is a major part of the trump legacy that our grandchildren will be talking about. does it have the impact the president hopes it has politically? as you speak to them, campaign advisers think judge barrett, might help with catholics in pennsylvania and wisconsin and having a conversation, this is a conversation of the year. we hit 200,000 americans killed by the coronavirus today. the president has been trying to escape the cloud of the coronavirus throughout this campaign and can't escape it. can he mitigate it? does this help him is the question. >> they certainly think that anything that takes the focus off the coronavirus is a help to the president. does it may recolleke people wh are impacted by crisis to some degree, make them forget that? probably not. i have heard the same arguments that you have heard how it helps with catholics in key rust belt
9:24 am
states. amy coney barrett is very, very anti-choice. on abortion rights. i think the question is, for soft biden voters, particularly women and men in the suburbs, does that do anything for the president to help win them back? i'm not sure it does and this is why there are some people around the president arguing for barbara lagoa. i think that's irn credibly urn likely to happen but there was a case for why she did more politically. >> you raise a fascinating point. this president is not ideological and has this opportunity here to get -- i didn't articulate it well but to get a conservative republican dream, a 6-3 court majority, which in the history boorks is a major part of the trump legacy and there's an argument that as he gets a long-term legacy he could hurt himself given the demographics of the country and where biden is at the moment
9:25 am
leading. >> that's right. we have southeasteeen this prese and again almost every time he has the choice to do something more sort of -- choosing someone for a position to be a mainstream candidate or somebody to appeal to conservatives and to evangelicals, almost every time he takes the latter path and i think he's decided that his base is who he needs. if he doesn't do it, there's some drift away from him from evangelical voters, they think this will solidify them but every action in this polarized action has an opposite reaction. the question is whether it's an equal and opposite action. >> appreciate this conversation and we shall continue. grateful for the reporting and insights. we are six weeks from today counting the votes. many of you are voting early including today. two of the favorite pollsters
9:26 am
join us to crunch the numbers.

more dangerous and corrupt president than trump. he's harming our basic values, giving rise to hate, and he's selling out america to big corporations. i'm working to protect immigrants, women, communities of color, and lgbtq people. and i'm making corporations like pg&e and insurance companies play by our rules. we need experienced leadership to wipe away trump's stain on america for good.
9:30 am
election day is six weeks from today and you would have to say as of today it is advantage biden, a steady, stable lead in the national polls and biden either leads or in play in most of the key battle states in the country.
9:31 am
will the supreme court fight chang the die namings of an election that so far about the president's handling of the coronavirus? with me is democratic pollster margie o'meara. if you're a democrat and looking at the national polls, a stable race throughout the year, biden's lead in the ballpark of six or eight points. in north carolina, very close race. arizona, biden on top. florida very close. texas very close. iowa very close. the fact that every state carried by trump four years ago is in play says biden has an easier path. do you believe the supreme court fight changes the election in a way that helps the president? >> i think people are going to be looking -- the polling shows we have some polling from navigator showing 20-point margin people would prefer the
9:32 am
winner of the election to pick the next supreme court justice, that by 20-point margin, polling showing that more people trust biden on supreme court picks, trust democrats' point of view over trump and what is the focus? what are the priorities of the senate? they want to see the senate throw us into more chaos and political divisions and partisan divisions at a time when we need all hands on deck to focus on the coronavirus and the polling shows very clearly people want to see more leadership, they want more from their senators, more on relief, they more action on the coronavirus. they don't want more divisions. to take the court in a direction out of balance from where voters are on things like affordable care act. >> i understand that if you believe the polls the president might lose, if you believe these
9:33 am
polls republicans might lose control of the senate so you have the chance to have a supreme court nomination, do it now while you have the power. are you concerned at all that a short term gain and a legacy gain for the president in a conservative court for a generation could have an impact, an adverse impact when people vote whether it's the president r shl race or senate race? >> we are looking for moments in the campaign to change things. this debate over supreme court justice could do that. the actual debate on the 29th could do that. trump is fighting three enemies in this campaign. the coronavirus. he is fighting joe biden and fighting the calendar. truthfully i think the calendar may be putting the most pressure on him in terms of 42 days left so to try to shake things up and make something happen, it's a smart move for republicans and, yeah, you're taking a bit of a
9:34 am
chance in terms of which voters are motivated by the debate but it's a debate that worked to his advantage in the kavanaugh hearings two years ago and could this time out. >> let me stay with you, neil, as the republican in the group to share this. 200,000 americans dead today in the coronavirus pandemic. you have 41% in the new npr poll that approve of the president's handling. i get a supreme court nomination fight shakes up the fight but the coronavirus disrumpted our lives most of the year. does the president need to change what he says? last night he was callous essentially saying old people with heart disease get the coronavirus. everybody else is good. >> i don't know what i'd be telling the president right now about what to say about the coronavirus but it is a huge issue and you see it in the polling where voters are
9:35 am
overwhelmingly concerned about it and the impact it's had on them and their families and the -- what the president ought to do is talk about what he is doing to address it, protective measures, wearing masks and it's a challenge for anybody right now. >> so a challenge for joe biden is to answer the criticism of the president and other republicans that he is a puppet of bernie sanders and aoc of the left. joe biden says that's not me, my history, my career, who i am. listen to how he answered the question last night and then talk on the other side. >> i beat the socialist. that's how i got elected, how i got the nomination. do i look like a social itself? lo i am not a socialist. >> would you have preferred he
9:36 am
not poke bernie sanders at this point and choose a different way to say that? >> you know, look. i don't know you talk about -- in comparison to the president says on a minute by minute basis and talking callously about people that lost their lives, i think that the biden campaign is doing a good job of getting his message across and unifying democrats, completely urinified behind joe biden. >> grateful for your time today. >> john? >> go ahead. >> biden's strategy, he's just trying to run out the clock right now. it is like a four corners offense in basketball and basically trying to run out the clock for seven weeks, six weeks without answering how he stands on the issues. i think the debate will be telling, will smoke him out from the basement in delaware. >> if your candidate were leading you might have the same
9:37 am
approach but we'll see. we get a debate next week. we'll have you back to talk about it. brand new reporting detailing who's in charge of the russian interference in the 2020 election.

9:41 am
important new reporting in "the washington post" today about russian interference in the 2020 election. josh rogan says a cia report assesses that the russian president vladimir putin is quote probably personally pulling the strings in this campaign and that he is definitely aware of it. lets's discuss with james clapper, the former director of
9:42 am
national intelligence in the obama administration. director clapper, it is good to see you. i want to read you josh rogan saying he got access to the cia assess. of august 31st. we assess that russian president vladimir putin and senior most russian officials are aware of and probably directing russia's influence operations aimed at den grading the former u.s. vice president, supporting the u.s. president and fueling public discord ahead of the u.s. election in november. so what is the significance to have a cia assessment in that language? >> well, first, john, thank you for having me. a point i have to make at the outset is if this represents a leak from a classified document that's never good and obliged to
9:43 am
say that but no one denied the facts of it. a couple points are really important here. first, this is to me a reprise of 2016 and we made the same assessment then that putin was certainly knowledgeable and, in fact, directed the interference in 2016 and it's no big surprise that he is doing it again. everybo even in the absence of a report, this is an assessment apparently, in the absence of it understanding how things work in russia with putin that there's no way that an interference campaign, an information operations campaign of the magnitude and scope and aggressiveness of the russians did in 2016 and apparently geren in 2020, there's no way that would happen without putin's knowledge and direction. so this is simply affirmation,
9:44 am
confirmation of what's been said by director wray of the fbi and the director of the national counter intelligence and security center, a nominal spokesman for election interference on behalf of the direct or the of national intelligence so it's significant but not surprising and again given putin's background, trained career kgb officer, he has a very awe institute and sophisticated understanding of the tools that he can use to interfere with our election process and to sow discord and distrust which he is doing fairly well. >> would not consider it the obligation of the president of the united states to call it out publicly? >> well, of course. and that's kind of what's missing here. i'm sure a lot has been done at
9:45 am
the federal and state and local level but what is missing here is the voice that can only come from the bully pulpit of the president to dime out what the russians are doing and to caution american voters to recognize what the russians are doing and for whatever reason we don't have that. >> and in fact, just yesterday the president was asked at the white house about the parkway sorning of the russian opposition leader with as the germans say a chemical weapon available only to the russians and the president said this. >> who do you think poisoning alexey navalny in russia? >> we'll talk about that at another time. >> this is a recurring frustration. you know it. that the president does not like to call out vladimir putin. yes, people in the administration have done so. yes, the treasury department and
9:46 am
others at times adopted sanctions and they have, the government has taken action against russia but the president has not. in "rage" bob woodward writes this way. he suspected, director coats, the worst and showed nothing that trump was in putin's pocket. they examined the intelligence as carefully as possible. there was no proof, period. but coats' doubts continued, never fully dissipating. he became the director of national intelligence. you understand that feeling, don't you? >> yes, i do. of course, there's been long speculation about this strange deference that the president has for putin where he not only refuses to criticize him, to dime him out, but sides with him as he did in helsinki and which
9:47 am
he agreed with putin's assertion that he had not interfered in our election of 2016 over the judgment that the intelligence community then in which i was in rendered so it's very curious about -- that this dichotomy between what the government does, witness the treasury impoedsed sanctions on russia, versus the president's stance. is very, very cherry of any kind of criticism of russia or putin. >> director clapper, great to see you. appreciate your insights. >> thank you, john. >> thank you. we'll take a look at how young voters could play a major role in 2020.

9:52 am
election day is six weeks from today but voting is already under way in 20 states. missouri joining the growing list of states. today is also national voter registration day. cnn focusing on the key issues that matter as part of the citizen by cnn project. a group to play a significant role in the outcome of the election young voters but many
9:53 am
events canceled because of the coronavirus pandemic. joining me now is abby keisha. abby, it's a very important day. some data you provided us shows 20 states where registration among young voters in 2020 already exceeds 2016 levels. the challenge is that shows early voting. we can show higher youth voter registration map. if you have it already in 20 states you have exceeded 2016 levels. how do you get to 50? >> thank you so much for asking that. at circle at tufts university we are looking at young people's access to opportunity to participate and influence and looking at how we can make those opportunities more accessible and a thing that we all can do regardless of who we are, whether or not we're in the
9:54 am
media, parents, friends, we can talk to people about the essential information that they might need, talk to people about what they think about the election, ask young people especially what they think about issues and be talking to other people about that, posting, texting folks to make sure that this is really in front of the people who need access to it. >> when you say in front, when you identify the challenges to getting more young people to register, you say a lack of knowledge about online voter registration, lack of information of how to cast ballots, this information is in places and i'm guessing the challenge to get it to younger people in the places they use like social media or other means. >> exactly. one of the important therings t point out is 15 million young people 15 to 19 aged into the electorate since the last presidential election and at least one third of young people don't have experience with
9:55 am
