hello to our viewers in the united states and around the world. i'm john king in washington, thank you so much for sharing a very, very busy news day with us. it is the morning after the presidential debate debacle and the candidates are hitting the trail. the democratic nominee joe biden starting a campaign train tour winding through ohio and pennsylvania. moments ago last hour, his first reaction to a debate that veered sharply towards unhinged. >> he basically looks down on us. he judges us. he's too weak to beat the pandemic. >> president trump this

afternoon heads to battleground minnesota. his morning tweets trying to distract you from a petulant, rude debate performance that even close allies called too hot and right now is making america the butt of jokes and worse, around the world today. the coronavirus reminding us yet again we are in a most unusual campaign. 12 states reported 1,000+ new infections on tuesday and the daily average of new infections is up dramatically from two weeks ago. the virus played a feature role in last night's debate, a shell shocking affair that was thin on policy, complete sentences and self control. >> the question is -- >> the question is -- will you shut up, man? >> who is on your list, joe? who's on your list. >> gentlemen, i think we've ended this -- >> in a morning-after tweet the president ignores his own rule breaking and his own rudeness writing off the cleveland mayhem as two on one and calling it a tough night for the moderator, chris wallace. the democratic house speaker,

though, she saw it very differently. >> we saw a political nervous breakdown, a meltdown and a -- an appeal to his base. he is intimidating people and that iseally an argument for people to vote by mail, vote early, vote by mail. don't be intimidated. >> did the debate change anything is the big question and it usually takes a few days to know for sure. the first debate was a giant opportunity for the president to try to reset a race that he is losing, coming in, trump advisers said goal number one was to make the race more about biden and less about the incumbent, but the president's constant insults and interruptions made the night very much about him and about who he is. the debate was often hard to hear. the arguments, hard to discern over the constant chaos. biden won the post-debate instant polls and his team believes he did find a few chances to look past the president and to speak directly to americans at home.

>> you folks at home, how many of you got up this morning and had an empty chair at the kitchen table because someone died of covid? how many of you were in a situation where you lost your mom or dad and you couldn't even speak to them and had a nurse holding a phone up so you can, in fact, say good-bye? >> here's one takeaway, the president struggles with basic questions about big issues. the pandemic was one example of that, white supremacy and other. the moderator asked him plainly to condemn it. the president acted confused. >> proud boys, stand back and stand by. >> with us to share their reporting and their insights, cnn's dana bash with "the washington post," dan, i want to start with you because of the headline over your piece this morning, trump sets the tone for the worst presidential debate in living memory. it was chaotic. it was disrespectful. it was a lot of things.

do we believe it changed anything, i guess, is the question this morning after? >> well, it's hard to think that this debate is going to change much of anything. i think, john, if it does change it, it will change it in the direction of joe biden or away from president trump. as you mentioned at the top, this was an opportunity for the president to come in and begin to reshape this race which is tilted against him and he did everything he could to make the race a continuation of what it has been which is a referendum on him. he came in and set a very destructive tone and carried that throughout and vice president biden got swept up in that. i think he had a better night than donald trump, but overall, i think the reactions of most people, it was that it was almost unwatchable, that they wanted to turn away from it, and i think in the end that is going to be harmful to the president. >> harmful to the president, often the largest audience is the first debate and the

president, dana, needed to reset the dynamics to change the dynamics of this race. the biggest issue in the country is the coronavirus. they did not get to spend any detailed time on it mainly because the president kept interrupting and anything too anything came up, but any time anything he didn't like came up and i want you to see this exchange, joe biden making a case of the pandemic and the president's handling of the pandemic should convince you you can't believe anything he says. >> this is the same man who told you by easter this would be gone away, by the warm weather, it would be gone, miraculous, like a miracle and maybe you can inject some bleach in your arm and that would take care of it. >> we've got the gowns and the masks and we made the ventilators. you wouldn't have made ventilators and now we're weeks away from a vaccine. we're doing therapeutics already. fewer people are dieing whying they get sick. far fewer people are dying.

we've done a great job. >> that was about as substantive as it got. the vice president trying to make the case, judge this president on this pandemic. >> yes. you're absolutely right. my understanding in talking to sources familiar with the president's prep is that he was ready to talk more substance. he was prepared to talk more substance, to talk beyond the things that we hear him say over and over again about stopping, flights coming in from china, to talk more deeply about things that he's done that he feels has not gotten attention, but he didn't get it out or it was completely overshadowed by his own interruptions, by his own performance and that is true every step of the way. i have not talked to one person in any part of the circle around donald trump who is not tearing their hair out this morning and it started last night as they were watching because they feel just as they have over the past

four years, frankly, that there are good stories to tell, but he can't get out of his own way to tell the stories. case in point, he stood on that stage four years ago and said these trade deals are terrible, and what has he done? he's actually renegotiated nafta. i didn't hear that at all last night. it's not that he didn't prepare to do that, he did, he just got too aggressive like a steam roller and nobody could hear anything else. >> so let's continue on that point because we all understand presidential campaigns. the president is the incumbent and trailing by eight points on average in the national polls and he's trailing in the litany of battleground states even in places like ohio, iowa, maybe even texas and florida in play because of the president's struggling poll numbers. as dana noted and he tried to make it about biden and reach out to the groups with whom you're struggling. women, for example, his own blue-collar workers and this is chris christie, former governor

of new jersey who helped him for the debate and we had a plan and then this happened. >> listen, you decide you want to come in and be aggressive. i think that was the right thing to be aggressive, but that was too hot. i think that what happens is with all that heat as you said before, you lose the light. that potentially can't be fixed, maybe, maybe not, we'll have to see. >> it's that last part. he know the president, maybe, maybe not, we'll have to see. the aides try all of the time, pay no attention to the president's tweets. watch, the president will do this, donald trump does what he wants and that's what we saw last night, who he is. >> when the person who is helping to lead the debate preparation acknowledges that a, it was not a good performance and b, that it might not be correctable you know you have a major problem on your hands and one can have sympathy for the people trying in the campaign to run a more disciplined campaign, but if the president of the united states decides what he wants to do is different than that he's going to go ahead and do it and it's certainly typical

of the way trump has operated throughout his presidency. he's had people around him who have tried to advise him -- excuse me, tried to advise him, tried to steer him in the right direction and he goes off and does whatever he chooses. so i think that's the challenge for the next debate. the next debate, as you know is the town hall debate and the kind of behavior that he exhibited on the debate stage last night will go down very badly with the studio audience and the larger audience of americans watching presumably. >> without a doubt. dana, joe biden's calling card, what his campaign believes is his great advantage in this race is he has personal stories and he has empathy and direct appeals and he did try, it was hard for any of them to break through and one thing the biden campaign is happy about, on several occasions he was able to ignore the president and look straight into the camera and the biden campaign believes exchanges like this help. >> look, you folks at home how many of you got up this morning

and had an empty chair at the kitchen table because someone died of covid. he knew this was happening, knew how dangerous it was going to be back in february and he didn't even tell you. you folks at home. you folks living in scranton and claymont and the working-class towns in america, how are you doing? >> we won't know really for a few days what impacted people out in america? washington's conversation is often a little disconnected from what happens out in america, but coming in we knew biden's advantage and in the few moments where he did have a chance and that was where he was trying to play what we do know are his strengths. >> he practiced doing exactly that, and breaking the third wall and looking into the camera like the three of us are right now and it benefited him given the kind of atmosphere he was in because it was so hot, to use chris christie's words, and you had donald trump kind of visibly breathing down his neck and to turn and ignore him was helpful.

i would add another moment to the mix he played which was when he was talking about his son who died from cancer, but was a military veteran and talking very passionately about him, instead of taking a moment from donald trump's point of view, taking a moment and saying i can't imagine what it's like to lose a child. my children are here. i can't imagine. he didn't even have that. he went straight at him and started attacking him on a son that is alive, on hunter biden and then joe biden used again, this is something i'm told was not part of the prep and it's not something joe biden talks about very much at all and used that to again look into the camera and say my son had a drug problem. i'm sure a lot of you out there can relate to that. he's working through it. that was a moment, one of many, many moments that donald trump handed to joe biden on a silver platter. >> let's look at that moment because we all knew coming in and we knew this from the 2016 debates from hillary clinton that one way donald trump tries to address his weaknesses is

trying to tear the other person down and he looks for questions to question your character and your ethics and that exchange was quite telling. let's play it. >> i don't know, beau. i know hunter. hunter got thrown out of the military. he was thrown out, dishonorably discharged. >> that's not true. >> cocaine use. >> my son, like a lot of people, like a lot of people you know at home had a drug problem. he's overtaken it. he's fixed it. he's worked on it, and i'm proud of him. >> the former vice president danahy hopes it's not about either family and it's about the two candidates and their policies, but hunter biden in many ways is a weakness for the former vice president because of his work. he was a swamp creature trading in his family name to make money around the world and it did give the vice president to come out of that from a different perspective. >> he certainly did, when joe biden is talking about the death

of beau biden and the president of the united states says i don't know beau, i know hunter. i mean the total lack of compassion as dana suggested of any empathy, of any sympathy. he -- if he wanted to make a pivot, he could have said something about beau biden, but instead he was so intent on bringing up hunter biden and trying to drive that, but step back for a minute. in a country going through the problems that this country is going through, the idea that hunter biden becomes a central part of the president's message in the campaign is quite astounding. >> just a quick check before we go and this is the day after, right? so we'll all check our sources in different states around the country. i want to hold up a few of these. cleveland, battleground, ohio, "the plain dealer," in play, this time. insults and interruptions. arizona, another state the president won last time that is in play this team.

we lean it joe biden's way this time. you see the front page in "the arizona republic qwest ." team trump not happy and they don't think the president achieved what they wanted to going in. what is their morning-after take? >> try to find a way to recalibrate and hope that the president, my understanding is that there were a lot of conversations from the people around the president trying to figure out the best way to come at him to explain to him that there was nothing good about that debate. he's a voracious consumer of cable news and i'm guessing he's gotten that message, there's nobody, even his staunchest supporter, even on this one, and the network that gives him pause, everyone said that was a terrible debate. >> i talked to a republican source in iowa during the debate who is seeing internal numbers that they're very concerned not

just about the president, but about a key senate race there, joni ernst and that this kind of performance from the president hurts him big time in a state like that. >> similar incoming from north carolina, the suburban area last night. dana bash, and dan, grateful for the insights on this important morning after. we will continue until we start counting the votes. we get perspective from the biden campaign. the former co-chairman joins us in just a second. you are not fi, and you're going to find yourself where you need to be. ♪ the race is never over. the journey has no port. the adventure never ends, because we are always on the way. ♪ ♪

key points on the coronavirus. making any point was hard because of constant interruptions. >> you don't know her -- >> do you have an idea what this clown is doing? >> would you shut up, man? >> that was a productive segment, wasn't it? >> keep yapping, man. >> will he just shush for a minute. it's hard to get any word in with this clown -- excuse me, this person. >> this now is cedric richmond of louisiana. he's the national co-chair of the biden campaign. it's good to see you today. i appreciate your time. you could see the former vice president's frustration there repeatedly and understandably the president wouldn't let him complete a sentence and there were some immediately after said forget about it, it's not worth it. if that's the way the president is going to behave, joe biden should say never mind i'm not going to do the next debates and is that a serious thought in the campaign? >> that's the decision that the vice president can make and there's legitimate concern that people around the world are laughing at america because of

donald trump. people in america have less confidence our government because of donald trump and his antics, but knowing vice president biden, you tell him a time and a place and he's going to be there. >> are you certain about that? i asked the question because it did come up last night, and the campaign said he has every intention to be there and i want to be clear in the sense that some would say look, it's not worth it and you can't get a complete thought in. others would say i'm not going come that the bully would chase him out of the park. >> look, i believe that there's probably a no-win situation, but it's for the vice president to decide whether he believes that his message of a plan on covid, empowering people and bringing back the economy got through, and i think some people heard that last night, but what was clear was that there was a stark difference, and i'm sure that there may be those out there

wondering, but as of now, what i know, we intend to be at every presidential debate that they have, the remaining two. >> as you know coming in, and you can see it last night, one of the president's strategies is to say joe biden is a puppet. that bernie sanders and alexandra ocasio-cortez, they run the party. on the green new deal the vice president said no. let's listen. >> your party wants to go socialist medicine. >> the party is me. right now i am the democratic party. >> they'll dominate you, joe. >> i beat bernie sanders. >> not by much. >> i beat him a whole hell of a lot. i'm here facing you, buddy. >> i don't support the green -- >> you don't? that's a big statement. >> i support the biden plan. >> so you can read that two ways. there are some who say that's joe biden saying i'm a centered left democrat, yes, i listen to bernie sanders and aoc, but i

run the party now and i'm more moderate and that might cost him progressives, we should be doubting joe biden. >> i think it was very clear what the vice president was saying that he has a plan. he has a plan on climate change. he has a plan on expanding the affordable care act. look, donald trump would prefer to run against anybody except joe biden, and so i think that was joe biden reminding him, look at me. i'm the guy you're running against and i put my name on a climate change plan. i put my name on a health care plan. so we're going to debate, debate my plans because i am your opponent and this is where the democratic party is, and i think that that's simply what he was trying to convey to the president, but again, this is a president who hears what he wants to hear and he's trying to pick a bogeyman. we could have easily responded

that we were talking about puppets that donald trump has been putin's puppet since day one, but i think that the vice president was trying to show america that he has a plan for climate change. it's on our website. he has a plan for health care which is expanding the public option. that's on our website, so don't listen to donald trump and his rhetoric. listen to what the vice president is saying and what his plan is. >> another flash point was the supreme court nomination and the vice president has a pretty clear strategy. president trump has tried to pressure him to put out a list of who he might appoint if he wins the president and the president said no, no, let's have the election first and then we'll deal with that, there is pressure from liberals in your party to say if they want to confirm judge coney barrett before the election, then we'll vote to expand the supreme court to put more justices on the court and we'll vote in the senate to end the filibuster. they tried to get answers out of the vice president and he said not now. >> are you willing to tell the american people tonight whether or not you will support either

ending the filibuster or packing the court. >> whatever position on take on that that will become the issue. the issue is the american people should speak. you should go out and vote. you're in voting now. vote and let your senators know. >> will you pack the court? >> vote now. >> are you going to pack the court? >> he doesn't want to answer the question. >> i can't compare him to the president because the president doesn't like to answer policy question, but don't the american people deserve some answers on these questions? is the former vice president possibly, the next president of the united states, is he going to push down the filibuster? will he fight the democrats if they try to do that? will he expand the court from nine to 11 to 13 justices? is that not a fair question? >> first of all, look, the vice president is very capable and he's going to be a great president, but whether we introduce legislation to stack the court, that's in my purview in being a united states

congressman and that will come from members of the house and hopefully a democratic senate and i think that he will give advice and guidance and ultimately have a decision to make and he will weigh in, but right now that is a decision left to the congress and it would be a distraction from the issue at hand. the issue at hand is that this president is trying to force a pick on american people in record speed after people have started to vote. when they denied president trump his choice on the supreme court. i think going down any other road or any other conversation is a distraction from that point. >> congressman, i want to ask you as best you can, you are here as the co-chair of the biden campaign, and a member of the house of representatives, i get all of that, i want to ask you, as best you can, set aside all of that, as a black man of louisiana, how do you respond to this, this is the president of the united states asked on a national debate stage to condemn white supremacy. listen. >> say it. do it. say it.

>> you want to call them -- what do you want to call them? give me a name. >> white supremacists. >> proud boys. >> proud boys, stand back and stand by, but i'll tell you what, i'll tell you what, somebody's got to do something about antifa and the left. >> proud boys, stand back and stand by. what's your reaction to that? >> my reaction, not the campaign reaction. my reaction is he's sick, and you know, he does this over and over again, and he will play the race card because he's a racist, but he plays the race card when he's stumped and he'd rather people call him a racist than incompetent, and so as he -- you know, he is what he is, and look, black people are suffering disproportionately from coronavirus. you heard the numbers last night and i won't repeat them, but almost half of black businesses will close, small businesses

will close and not reopen. we are taking the lion share, the disproportionate share of the deaths and infections and just the impact and so that's what people are talking about, whether this president is a racist or not, i think we've all made up our minds, but we are really battling for the future of america and empowering african-americans to be architects of our own future and it's just sad, but he is who he is. he can't help himself, but it is fearful because my fear is that he is empowering them, he is urging them to actually do something and what i would hope and what i would say to even his followers and even to those racial -- people with racial challenges and those racists following him and the proud boys is that donald trump doesn't care about you. he doesn't care about black

people. he doesn't care about poor people. he doesn't care about poor white people and he only cares about people with the last name trump and he will use you and he will push you to create chaos. he will push you to start a race war, but he doesn't care about you or your well-being because look at your economic plight, look at his handling of coronavirus. so don't get so swayed as being anti-black when this president is not for you or black people. >> congressman richmond, grateful for your time today, sir. thank you. >> have a good day, sir. up next for us, new york city easing some restaurant restrictions today, and the coronavirus numbers heading in the wrong direction. and get matched with a customized plan. the assessment takes into account the things that matter to you the most. on my plan, whole wheat pasta and potatoes are zero points. on the app, we love the personalized recipes. we found so many new favorites! with 24/7 live coaching, you get connected to an amazing coach, who can answer any question that you might have. i lost 91 pounds.

the president last night insisting that the presidential debate he has done a great job when it comes to the coronavirus. you see the numbers on your screen. more than 7 million infections in the united states, more than 200,000 deaths. the president says that's a great job. where are we now? that's another question and we are still in trouble when it comes to the coronavirus. the orange and red means more new infections from last week compared to the data from last

week. half of the states heading in the wrong direction, more new infections now than a week ago. if you look at the death trends, we have 19 states reporting more coronavirus deaths this week compared to last week and just a point, i see a lot of green out here in the west here and that's where a lot of the cases are out hire in the west and more cases now tends to mean more deaths later. let's hope that's not the case, but you still have 19 states trending in the wrong direction when it comes to deaths. let's look at the overall trends. yes, we are down from the peak of the summer surge, but look at this, trickling back up or maybe in a plateau, back above 40,000 new infections again yesterday. the united states on average the past week plus averaging more than 40,000 new coronavirus infections a day. it was down to 20,000 before the summer surge and got up around 70,000 and now back, but still that's around 40. as this plays out nationally, different states, different policies. california among the states

easing restrictions and it's holding steady right now. nevada and wyoming easing restrictions and even though the case count is heading up this week. florida easing some restrictions and in the data, new york restrictions eased even though it has done weal in recent weeks and its case count going up at the moment and we all remember the history, new york one of the first states up the coronavirus hill, nearly 500,000 cases and more than 33,000 deaths, but in new york city restaurants can now reopen in-room dining and inside dining at 25%, excuse me, capacity. the mayor says do this, but be careful. >> look, if we see the kinds of violations that create problems like employees not wearing a mask or a violation of the 25% limit, if a restaurant has more than 25% capacity whether it's diners or where wee alcohol belie being consumed at a bar those are the things that will lead to

immediate summonses and we want a situation where everyone follows the rules and no one is penalized and we certainly don't want to see any restaurants shut down. >> alexanderafields joins me now. he sounds nervous. >> there are strict protocols in place and the expectation that people will have to follow those protocols if they want the lifting of restrictions to continue. i mean, john, frankly, it is astonishing to think that a city known as much for its restaurants and food and its nightlife and anything else that people have not been eating indoors for the last six month, really, that changes today with the strict new rules in place. will people be back inside? that question was put to the mayor himself, here's how he answered it. >> my outdoor dining experiences have been amazing and i will keep doing that for the foreseeable future and of course, shift to indoor when the outdoor isn't as prevalent

because of the weather. >> reporter: john, we've got to underscore that the easing of restrictions in new york, this milestone in new york is happening at a time when officials are very much aware of a cluster and they're working very hard to defeat that cluster which is driving up the case count in certain parts of brooklyn and in queens. for the first time in months we have seen the city's positivity rate go over 3% a day ago. it is back under 1% today. the seven-day rolling average is at 1.6%. that in and of itself is not an alarmingly high number and it indicated there was a fact that there was a problem in certain neighborhoods and thousands of people had been deployed with police officers to increase the distribution of resources like masks and like availability of testing in the neighborhoods that have been the most heavily affected. we're talking about a handful of

zip codes where they're seeing these clusters of cases. interestingly, john, the mayor says there doesn't seem to be a correlation with the schools in the neighborhoods and they're not seeing an uptick in cases in the schools and that's the silver lining and they're taking this seriously. >> that's an important silver lining and alexandra field, a big day in new york city. up next for us, back to the debate. the proud boys and the far-right group that got a name drop, how are they reacting to the president?

>> we're club with a patriot problem. to defend the west. >> antifa! >> are you here to get in fights with antifa? >> you guys are dressed in the aesthetics -- >> and actually what we are are two different things. we're all wearing protective gear. >> it just seems like every time there is a proud boys event it ends with some people getting beat up. >> if our mere presence causes people to want to commit acts of violence, we're not afraid to defend ourselves. >> a glimpse there at a proud boys rally. that in portland, oregon. the all-male right-wing group is

labeled a hate group. proud boys dispute that label and it is banned on social media platforms like facebook and instagram because of hate speech. a name check as president trump refused to speak clearly and directly when asked if he would condemn white supremists? >> proud boys, stand back and stand by, but i'll tell you what, i'll tell you what, somebody's got to do something about antifa and the left. >> stand back and stand by, immediately celebrated by the proud boys as a presidential call to action. cnn's doni o'sullivan with more. >> hey, john, yeah. that's right. members of this violent right-wing group, the proud boys taking the president's words last night really as an endorsement, seeing this as the president calling on them to help him. i want to show you, john, some of the messages that the group were posting online right after the president appeared to praise them last night. one shows the proud boys logo

with the president's words, stand back, stand by emblazoned like a slogan. this group is posting messages all over social media and messaging forms that are lesser known and that's because facebook back in 2018 identified this group as a hate group and banned it from its platform. i want to show you what the head of the antidefamation league said last night ahead of the adl and said it's astonishing that when asked a simple question, will you condemn white supremacists, they responded the proud boys can stand back and stand by, it was an answer or an admission potus owes america an apology or an explanation now. john, you and i talk a lot about facebook's failures in many ways and in the political context and how it stokes hate in the u.s. facebook does do a whole lot around, but obviously, in this case they have taken action on this group for quite some time and i think this underscores one of the big problems here, even

when a company like facebook tries to step up to the plate, identifying this group as a hate group, taking action against him you have the president of the united states on the biggest stage in the world giving that group a shout out. john? >> giving that group a shout out is right. appreciate it there. tim scott, the only black republican senator to comment about this and he said he thought the president misspoke and i've sent my comments to the chief of staff and he's trying to get them to clear this up. how the president joe biden tried to sell their economic records on the debate stage and what the facts tell us. connect over the phone, online, or face to face, we're here to help- utilizing our resources as one of the nation's largest banks and a local approach with a focus on customized insights. so you're ready for today. essential for sewing, but maybe not needles. for people with certain inflammatory conditions.
