11:00 am
i want to welcome viewers in the united states and around the world. the science on the coronavirus pandemic has long been at odds with the president's messaging. and now we're learning he's losing patience over this contradixz. dr. robert redfield is among the experts he has been delivering sober and strongly encouraging masks as we enter the flu season. trump is frustrated top health officials are countering his rosy assessment and he believes breakthroughs aren't coming swiftly enough. that's one example of a pattern we're seeing. where we hear one thing from top officials and experts and another from the president.
11:01 am
case and point, president trump's continued baseless attacks on the validity of mail-in ballots. and under oath, was told there is no widespread voter fraud. and then the white house fought back. immediately attacking wray's leadership of the fbi. then this from trump's own appointee, lewis dejoy. >> the postal service will do its job to deliver -- to deliver the ballots and when inpresident goes into that postal service doesn't -- is not equipped to do it, he's incorrect with that. >> now, voting is already underway and right now the trump campaign and republican officials at the state and local level are actively engaged in efforts for voters to cast a ballot, particularly by mail.
11:02 am
and president trump is once again casting doubt on whether he'll agree foto a pillar of american democracy. the peaceful transfer of power from one president to the next. >> so, we have to be very careful with the ballots. that's a whole big scam. we want to make sure the election is honest. i'm not sure that it can be with this whole situation, unsolicited ballots. millions being sent to everybody. >> i want to be clear here the president's claims about unsolicited ballots are not accurate. i'm joined by retired admiral smith. sir, thank you so much for being with us. can you tell us your response to president trump's comments. >> no. i think his comments reflect exactly why my group got together.
11:03 am
he just had a disdain for the american constitution and the principals that all of us swore to uphold and defend. what you're seeing in the press is exactly why i argue with that today. >> the senate on thursday unanimously passed a resolution that stated the chambers committed to the peaceful transfer of power. which is something frump hasn't committed to. do you think that it is a real possibility that the president makes good on what he's talking about? >> no, absolutely not. i think the military, at the end of the day, i have complete confidence in the military leadership of our armed forces. i do believe what they should do, what the joint chiefs of staff should do is come out right now and declare that when the election is over, that they
11:04 am
will be supporting the rightly lected president elect of this country and that -- to assure the american people fl withere be a peaceful transfer of power. >> i've heard many people who have worries about the chairman of the joint chiefs or the joint chiefs saying something like that. they think it will irreparably politicize the military in a way that weakens american democracy further. what do you say to that? >> how can the military coming forward and reiterating their purpose and reiterating that they are there to support the constitution, that their allegiance is to the kaun constitution, if anything that should assure the american people that they will maintain their apolitical nature, which is what they need to do and make
11:05 am
sure everyone knows, that even though there may be a political person in charge of our national intelligence, that they get a vote and they can't create fake intel that would justify calling out the national guard. i think it's the responsible action to take. >> your group organized nearly 500 national security experts to sign this open letter endorsing biden, which is quite a show of force. tell us what the message is. >> the message is that enough is enough. and this is republican. this is independents, democrats. this is, nay are deeply concerned about the president's actions. and all of us agree there is only one way, the integrity of
11:06 am
the oval office and that's about voting joe biden in november. he has experience, empathy, integrity. joe biden is not going to go out there and treat our allies the way trump has. these are such that a nation's word is its bond. he's certainly not going to lie to the american people over and over again. it's not an antitrump letter. it's a letter to every undecided voter, if there's only one answer in november t has to be joe biden. >> admiral mike smith, thank you for joining us. >> thank you. president trump's social media feeds and those of his allies have been repeatedly flagged for spreading misinformation and manipulated videos about the election and joe biden. trump claims they're just funny. but they found often times trump supporters are not in on the
11:07 am
joke. >> so, you come to a trump rally in minnesota today to ask trump supporters what they see when they open their facebook feeds. >> no one has been more wrong more often than biden. >> the november 3rd election result may never be accurately determined. >> was there any label or fact check? >> yeah, they have a little thing at the bottom that says voting by mail has a long history of trust worthiness in the u.s. >> are you a facebook user? >> yes. >> what pages you follow? >> anybody that agrees with me. >> only people that agree with you? >> that would be an republican, and antiabortion guy and progun and probeer. >> you don't think it would be good to follow pages of people you disagree with? >> no, because they call me stupid, ignorant.
11:08 am
i got tens of thousands of people that do. >> reporter: so, trump is campaign, a lot of senior republicans over the past few weeks have been sharing doctored and manipulated videos on social media. trump campaign and supporters will say these are clearly jokes. they are memes, people know they're memes. people know they're fake. >> when they say this is fact checked, it's wrong because it's taken out of context. like when joe biden fell asleep during a live interview on television. >> i think that was an edited one. >> it looked pretty live to me. there was no cuts in it. >> live this morning from new york. hey, good morning. >> wake up. yeah, wake up, wake up. okay. this is your wake-up call.
11:09 am
>> is this the video you're talking about? biden falling asleep? >> i think so. "the washington post". >> an article is saying that it was fake but it looked real, right? >> well, i mean, i definitely wouldn't doubt it would happen. >> even if it is fake, does it change your opinion of biden? >> god no. you got to sift through it. i missed that one. but it was a good laugh. it was a really good laugh and like i said, i wouldn't doubt it. >> a lot of people today are sharing posts on facebook that later get fact checked by facebook's third-party fact checks. >> anything i put on about our president is generally only on for a few minutes and all the sudden they're fact checking me, which i know is not true. their fact checker's wrong.
11:10 am
>> they'll go to the conservative side and say that's wrong and they pull it. they're not going to the liberal sites. and them are the real lies. they're the real liars out there. >> also circulating online, more insidious forms of misinformation, including baseless claims about vice president joe biden being a ped file. do you seriously think joe biden's a pedophile? >> i think he is. he's part of the game. >> i believe he is. >> the conspiracy theory the fbi says is a potential domestic terrorism threat. some of the false claims have been amplify fwhied president himself. >> the fbi is saying qanon is a dangerous conspiracy theory. does that make you think should i be following this thing? >> because qanon is bringing up the bad things about the fbi. that's why they're afraid of them.
11:11 am
>> i want to thank him for that good reporting. governor dos santos announced he's lifting all covid restrictions on bars and restaurants. tell us what you've learned, randy. >> it's really something. came as a surprise to many of us in the media and around the state. what we know is he's lifting all restrictions on all businesses statewide, immediately. that includes bars and restaurants. they'll be open to 100% capacity. and until now 50%. there's an outdoor table and a big now open sign. now beveverybody is welcome to inside and they don't have to make room for people outside. he's saying you no longer have to wear a mask. he's overriding the local county city orders that you have to
11:12 am
wear a mask in miami-dade. normally in public, i would have to wear this or risk getting a fine. now the governor says you can no longer fine people for not doing that. why is he doing this when we're still seeing cases every single day, deaths every single day? he explained that earlier. listen to this. >> you have some people say well, you can never do full -- what you want to do until there's a vaccine. we don't know. hopefully. but now people are saying hey, even if there's a vaccine, it's still going to take another year before you can operate appropriately and i don't think that's viable. i don't think that's acceptable. >> reporter: and if it does get bad, do not expect the state to close. the governor is saying the state is prepared for an increase in
11:13 am
infections and moving forward. and in terms of the numbers, we have 700 noun people infected. 13,000 deaths. so, a lot of questions about why the governor is making this decision. we've been opening slowly, the restaurants and bars have opened to a lesser capacity than 100%. the governor looking to make a move and send a message that florida is indeed open. back to you. >> and jumping out of an airplane but leaving the parachute behind. thank you so much. next we have new details about the coronavirus vaccine trial that has been on hold for two weeks. and the governor is forming his own task force to study any vaccine they approve. and speaking out about how nay say the system failed her as new

11:18 am
the president has suggested he may override the approval process on a vaccine timeline and in a sign of how much public trust has eroded, it's now making an unprecedented move to double check infederal government's work. alexandra. >> governor cuomo says the state of new york will form its very own vaccine task force with public health experts. he says the federal government's response to covid has raised
11:19 am
serio serious questions about the vaccine process. he wouldn't recommend new yorkers trust the federal government. and the fask force will be charged with reviewing anything approved by the federal guideline. >> there are plenty of questions for a vaccine trial that was forlsed to halt its work. astrazeneca was asked to stop after a volunteer developed a neurological issue. we've been digging into why this has not been able to continue. >> we've been looking at documents from astrazeneca and the university of oxford in england. we found various reports of this illness and another illness that
11:20 am
caused this in july. let's take a look at what those reports found. so, for the first pause, the one in july, there's a document that says that pursederson developed symptoms of a rare neurological conditions in which the spinal cord is inflamed. and then a report that the participant was diagnosed with an unrelated neurological illness and then multiple sclerosis. now, let's look at the september pause, the one we're still in, in the united states. and then on september 11th, it says that the participant developed unexplained neurological symptoms. it's not unexplained. so, which is it? what is going on here? the experts we talk to have been
11:21 am
involved in clinical trials for decades, say details matter. because what regulators have to do is figure out do these two illnesses have something in common or are they just separate random one offs? if they have something in common, that leans more to the side that perhaps there's a link to the vaccine. >> and more news from florida. the governor is saying he expect to host a full super bowl in february in tampa and this is a stadium that seats 70,000 people. what do you think? >> that's a lot of people in one place and also a lot of time between now and february. i think -- i would think something we would have learned by now is we should not be talking about what we think we're going to do four or five months from now. that's a long time in the future in corona time. who knows if that's a good idea or not. unclear why he's making these
11:22 am
future statements. why wouldn't he say, you know, let's think about this. this is months away. who knows what the situation will be. my state has been through a difficult time. they had a terrible time with coronavirus in florida. unclear why he would want to commit to having 70,000 people in one place. >> all right. thank you so much for that. and still ahead a united airlines executive joins me to talk about the decision to start covid testing before some flights. and lebron james sharing poignant words on why he's speaking out on brianna taylor and protecting black women in general. your journey requires liberty mutual. they customize your car insurance so you only pay for what you need. wow. that will save me lots of money. this game's boring.

11:27 am
and the first time we learned a grand jury didn't indict any officers involved in the death of her killing. a chant, taylor's mom was too distraught to speak, so her auntd read the statement while wearing her niece's emt jacket. she said she never had faith in kentucky attorney general to begin with. >> i was reassured wednesday of why i have no faith in the legal system and the police, in the law that are not made to protect us black and brown people.
11:28 am
but when i speak on it, i'm considered an angry black woman. know this, i am an angry black woman. i am not angry for the reasons you would like me to be. i'm sorry. but angry because our black women keep dying at the hands of police officers. and black men. okay. angry because our children are dying at the hands of police officers. and i'm angry because this nation is learning that our black women dying at the hands of police officers, as it is not okay. you can take the dog out of the fight, but you can't take the fight out of the dog. >> say it again. >> for a lack of better terms, bark bark for being the dog still standing to fight. i knew cameron would never do his job but what i do know is him and countless others will go to bed sleeping with brianna's face, still hearing her say her name.

11:30 am
justice advocates. james tweeted quote, the most disrespected person in america is the black woman. after last night's win, james was asked to expand on that. >> i think you just look at the history of america and the disrespect black women have got the last 400 years. i mean, you can't turn a blind eye to that. when i look at my household and see my daughter, who is five on her way to six and my wife and my mom, rest in peace my grandmother. there's so many black women who have done so many things to me and the sacrifices, especially my mom growing up and there was still disrespect along the way and it's still like that today. in the case of brianna taylor's case, just shows it once again that the walls of a neighbor
11:31 am
were more important than her life. so, not only did i want to acknowledge that for all the queens in this world, all the black queens in this world and the ones in my life. so, i had a moment yesterday and i have a lot of moments, but i felt like it was important to let black women know that you're not alone. no matter the disrespect or what they may feel, don't stop. because that's exactly what they want you guys to do. want you to stop. i want you to strong and as determined as you are. i want you all boo too be at bay. >> i want to bring you in stephanie ready a host of turner sports. and the first woman to coach a men's sports team and first
11:32 am
female analyst in sports history. what does this mean for lebron james to be speaking in such length as he is explaining what was a very well received quote that he repeated. >> it means a great deal. brianna, thank you for having me on to talk about this. and first, i'd like to point out that the woman who asked that question was morgan mitchell. she's one of my colleagues at turner sports and she's an amazing woman. she reiterated the point of being seen and heard. i was on the air and we were talking about the game at nba tv for our post game show and we ran that sound. i had to gather myself a little bit because i found myself getting emotional hearing those words. because as you can imagine, being in the sports industry, it's a challenge. being a woman.
11:33 am
and certainly being an african-american woman and i'ved to the fight battles my entire career. it felt good to hear someone acknowledge that those battles exist and to stand with us. >> and you know, you've been watching sports here. just an incredible time, right? i think we're all dealing with it in our personal level and family level and looking to sports for a little bit of respite. you were there before, witnessing players locked in the bubble during what is one of the most pressure-filled times of their careers, the post season, and using that time to focus on social justice issues. what was that like? tell us. >> it was very impressive. i'm no long tlr but i was inside for 39 days and i hate to say it like that. it sounds like i was serving a jail sentence. but it was impressive because
11:34 am
those men were isolated from society, their friends and loved ones. they were there to accomplish several goals and they're checking boxes every day that goes by. they're there fto compete for a championship and they were there to use their platforms to express their concern about the wrongs going on in our society on a day-to-day basis. and to express themselves and how they feel like they can effect change. you remember in the very beginning, it was big deal about what message would be put on the back of these jerseys and the fact the nba and the -- they partnered together to figure out a group of messages that they can choose from so each player can choose something that spoke to them individually and elevate a platform that they wanted to bring awareness to and i thought that was all amazing.
11:35 am
and they decided to stop playing and they had to pause in action. and the owner stepped up big and they decided they would join in. and they made allowances, if you will. they met demands, rekwelquests the players and now you're see they're using their polling places for arenas. and it's not because all 30 didn't waunltd to. but at this moment there, are 21 nba arenas and facilities being used for polling places locally. >> thank you so much for coming on to talk about this. stephanie ready with turner sports. next protesters on the extreme left and right are planning events in downtown portland tomorrow and cnn is on the ground asking both sides where all of this unrest is headed?
11:36 am
tonight, i'll be eating a veggie cheeseburger on ciabatta, no tomatoes.. [hard a] tonight... i'll be eating four cheese tortellini with extra tomatoes. [full emphasis on the soft a] so its come to this? [doorbell chimes] thank you. [doorbell chimes] bravo. careful, hamill. daddy's not here to save you. oh i am my daddy. wait, what? what are you talking about? but today there's a combination of two immunotherapies you can take first. one that could mean... a chance to live longer. opdivo plus yervoy is for adults newly diagnosed with non-small cell lung cancer that has spread and that tests positive for pd-l1 and does not have an abnormal egfr or alk gene. it's the first and only approved chemo-free combination of two immunotherapies
11:37 am
that works together in different ways to harness the power of the immune system. opdivo plus yervoy equals a chance for more days. more nights. more beautiful weekends. more ugly sweaters. more big hugs. more small outings. opdivo and yervoy can cause your immune system to attack normal organs and tissues in your body and affect how they work. this may happen during or after treatment has ended and can become serious and lead to death. some of these problems may happen more often when opdivo is used with yervoy. see your doctor right away if you have a new or worse cough; chest pain; shortness of breath; diarrhea; severe stomach pain; nausea or vomiting; dizziness; fainting; extreme tiredness; weight changes; constipation; excessive thirst; changes in urine or eyesight; rash; itching; confusion; memory problems; muscle pain or weakness; joint pain; flushing; fever; or tingling in hands and feet. these are not all the possible side effects. tell your doctor about all your medical conditions including immune system problems, or if you've had an organ transplant or lung, breathing, or liver problems. here's to a chance for more together time.
11:38 am
a chance to live longer. ask your doctor about opdivo plus yervoy. thank you to all involved in our clinical trials. ask your doctor about opdivo plus yervoy. we'll look back and remember the moment that things, for one strange time in our lives, got very quiet. some lost work and invented new ways to get by. others were busier than ever, and found strength they never knew they had. we sheltered with the people who matter most, sometimes finding how far apart we'd drifted. we worried over loved ones, over money, over our planet. and over take-out. and we found a voice one the noise out there had kept quiet. when the world starts spinning again, let's remember this time where none of us felt secure, and fight for a future where everyone can. because when the world seems like it's standing still...
11:40 am
they're continuing through dueling protest, the far right group, the proud boys r among those with scheduled events downtown. the city has seen nearly non-stop protests since the police killing of george floyd in may. here on the ground -- ♪ you're never going to sleep because of me ♪ ♪ i'm going to sleep because of y'all ♪ >> when they start moving, we start moving as well. >> we have a problem in our police department that is systemic. >> this is one week in portland, oregon, where antipolice protests have been going on for more than 100 days and tensionz btween protesters and police have only escalated. as we got there, a member of the right-wing group named aaron j. danielson was killed by an antifascist protester.
11:41 am
everyone said they feared violence would escalate. >> we're not doing this because we hate america. we all have one goal in mind and that is ending police brutality. people are dying and if water bottles being thrown at the police stops that, i'll do it every day. >> how long have you been coming to the protests? >> the whole time. since may 29th for me. our role is basically frontline med support. it could be stripping in the street, could be getting pushed into a building, could be gun shots. we cover it all. >> i'ved to the deescalate about three outside agitators with guns. it's always some guys who was
11:42 am
like this is terrorism. it's not terrorists. just a protest. >> a lot of people have weapons. >> we don't have weapons. >> we don't have weapons. >> what do you say to people who say i like peaceful protests. when they burn stuff and break windows, that's different? >> i say property doesn't bleed but i do. if ending systematic oppression means a store gets burnt or looted and nobody's hurt, how is that any worse than living in a situation where i have to fear for my life every day? >> we are on top of the doughnut shop, which is ironically located across from the portland police union. often the protests will continue for a couple of hours and then
11:43 am
all the sudden there will be a huge rush of riot cops. >> back in may, when the protests started, did you have a gas mask or anything? >> of course not. i had face mask for covid but none of us had gas masks. i think we've raised thurtd thousand this week to buy bullet proof vests because it turns out we might need them and that's really terrifying. >> body cam to record things that need evidence in court. i currently have a head injury. like, i'm still recovering from back when we were still under federal occupation. they shot me directly in the head with a tear gas canister and i got post concussion syndrome 22 hours later. >> there's a moment of party feeling, and then the moment
11:44 am
where it gets quiet and it's like there's a tension. it seems to almost be inviting the confrontation, nthat the protest can't end without that clash. >> a big part of what's happening here is that it has to be uncomfortable. >> started to announce it was an unpermitted march. someone threw incendiary devices and then all hell broke loose. and there was tear gas flying in, fireworks. it was really rough. and they're making a push. >> how do you see it ending? >> i'm not sure. we haven't seen much of any change. the people out here are and maybe they didn't start that and that carries on for the rest of
11:45 am
your life. >> reporter: president trump has warned you'll ruin the suburbs. >> does anyone want someone from an teefau as a resident of your suburb? i don't think so. >> we don't want your kind in salem, oregon. >> both sides say they act only in self defense. but in person, things get out of hand quickly. >> it's not what we're about. i can't speak for some of these other guys but in the end we love our country and support our president. >> do you think this is a weird civil war? >> i don't see it as that yet.
11:46 am
but it could lead to that. the whole movement has just gotten more and more violent as time progresses. >> enough. >> it's literally across the nation. and we're tired of it. it's time for us, as patriotic citizens, to take back our cities. and if it means by violent means, we'll have to do it. >> cnn, portland. . still ahead, a cnn survey finds a stunning number of absentee ballots have already been requested. and united airlines being the first to offer covid testing before flights. n the kids' face. yea, that look of pure terror... ...no, no, the smile... ...and that second right before the first tear comes... ...what?! pizza on a bagel-we can all agree with that.

11:51 am
to end money bail. the u.s. has just surpassed 7 million coronavirus cases. at least 203,000 have died in the country and there is no sign that this will end soon. that's wreaking havoc on the economy, including the airline industry which lost billions during the pandemic. and in order to financially survive, they must adapt. united airlines is the first to offer rapid coronavirus tests to some of the passengers. this will begin october 15th, making the tests available for flights from san francisco to hawaii. and the move will help passengers avoid a 14-day quarantine when they land. we have chief communications officer for united airlines and former white house press secretary josh earnest with us. this is interesting.
11:52 am
to thanks for coming on and explaining how this works. >> this is an interesting opportunity and an interesting way to help our passengers travel. we know that a lot of people want to do right now and we're proceed to lead the industry to get it done. >> so you're doing -- so tell us how this logistically is going to work and it seems like you're concentrating on certain passengers? >> right. this is basically a pilot program. where we're going to allow our customers traveling between san francisco and hawaii to be able to, when they book their ticket or shortly before they're ready to travel, to also sign up through us to get a covid test when they're at the airport. this is a rapid test that would in 15 minutes give you the result and you take that result, that is hopefully negative and take it with you and when you land in hawaii, you could show that to hawaii officials when you land and hawaii officials will allow you to avoid that 14-day quarantine. so if you're thinking about
11:53 am
traveling to hawaii, people don't think i want to go because i don't want to spend 14 days in the hotel room and now you bypass that and hit the beach the very first day. >> what tests positive if you are someone who booked a flight. what happens with that? what does united do? >> we'll work with the passenger to reschedule the travel. >> so you reschedule travel there. this is a pilot program. i think ideally for a lot of people who are afraid to fly right now, and are concerned since we've seen for instance i think 11,000 people exposed, they've been in airplanes with people who ended up testing positive for coronavirus. obviously there would be a desire for this to be even more broad. is that a possibility? >> we certainly hope so, brianna. and it is all contingent on testing camppacity. this is beginning to facilitate international travel. right now american citizens that
