out of isolation and defiance. >> this is the single most important election in the history of our country. >> plus the co-vid case count is surging. >> if you relax, this is what happens. this is just merely sloppiness. >> and early voting shatters records. the challenger thinks big. >> if we show up, we win. we can't just win. we have to whin overwhelmingly.

>> welcome to "inside politics ". to our viewers in the united states and around the world, thank you for sharing your sunday. the president says he's ready to get back on the road after isolation because of coronavirus. >> we're starting very big with our rallies and everything. we cannot allow our country to become a socialist nation. we cannot let that happen. >> the white house called that saturday speech an official event, but it was all campaign politics. a crowd pulled together by a conservative black trump ally. the president kept at a distance. his doctors insist it is now safe for him to resume public appearances. >> through the power of the american spirit, i think, more than anything else. science, medicine, will, eradicate the china virus. you'll see it all over the world. you see flairups in canada and

europe. a big one in canada. you saw that today. a lot of flairups, but it's going to disappear. >> notice the president did not specifically mention the flairup right here at home. 30 states now trending in the wrong direction. nearly 5,000 new american deaths from coronavirus just since the president left the hospital monday tweeting, don't be afraid. his rush to get back campaigning is understanding in t. joe biden has a big lead. with the president in co-vid isolation, the vice president campaigning in arizona, nevada, and pennsylvania. >> america deserves a president who understands what people are going through. you're facing real challenges and the last thing you need is a president who exacerbates them. i'm going to govern as an american president. i'm going to work as hard for those who don't support me as

those who do. >> the president's rally scheduled this week includes florida, iowa, and pennsylvania. his doctor hasn't answered a question in a week. but his latest memo does say the president is off medications and cleared to travel. >> they tested the lungs. they checked for the lungs, and they tested it with different machinery. they have incredible stuff i've never seen before, and it tested good initially. i think they had some congestion in there, but it tested ultimately it tested good. i have been retested, and i haven't even found out numbers or anything yet, but i've been retested, and i know i'm at either the bottom of the scale or free. >> the campaign calculations in a moment. first the health questions. we have a doctor, chief of infectious diseases at massachusetts general hospital. grateful for your time this sunday. you heard the president there talking about the exams his drsz have given him. this is the latest memo from his

doctor. i'm happy to report decision to the president meeting cdc criter criteria, he's no longer considered a transmission risk to others. now at day ten from symptom onset, fever free for well over 24 hours and all symptoms improved. there is no longer evidence of active replicating virus. does that answer your questions? would you be confident based on everything they've made public and what the president said that he's safe to leave the white house and safe to travel and get on an airplane in close quarters and have have thousands of people come to a political rally? >> good morning. you know, there's very little medical terminology to decipher what the president has said. what i can tell you what the memo is first the cdc does not recommend repeat testing after somebody tests positive. and at that point it's really a time-based release from

isolation. i believe he's ten days out from his initial symptoms. if that's case, that puts symptoms thursday or even wednesday. and generally the cdc guidance says that after ten days and fever free for 24 hours you are no longer infectious. there are some people who have severe disease who can be infectious to 20 days but that's less common. the president did have mrna testing and tests that likely -- indicate he is likely not infectious. an indoor rally is not a good idea. it doesn't speak to the president's individual infectiousness but others. >> what questions do you have? you mentioned the memos. doctors say that's not the way we speak or describe things. what questions do you have and do you think just an american citizen whether they're going to vote for joe biden or the president or somebody else. what questions should they have

right now. >> i would like to know if he had severe disease during his disease course. he would prolong his duration of isolation if he had severe disease. i don't put a lot of weight onto his pcr tests because it could be positive for up to three months. what i would like to know as we know he has waning transmisable and none likely at this point, i'd like to know what was going on at the time he had maximum transmissability last thursday and wednesday when he was first developing symptoms, who he was in contact with, when the symptoms developed and what the contact tracing around that has been. >> it would be nice if the president's doctor would take some questions as the president prepares to travel the country. thank you for your time. with us now taulua. yesterday you talked about the president's defiance and determined to get back out on

the campaign trail. again, the political calculation here is obvious. is the campaign confident that their candidate is now up to this? >> they're going to take that risk. they're down in the polls and only have three weeks before election day and need to turn things around. they're going to risk the health of the campaign and the white house officials by sending the president out there. even while it's unclear how infectious he might be. they're not changing their ways or the types of rallies they're doing. they're going to continue to have massive crowds, no social distancing encouraged. masks will not be required. they say they have hand washing stations but we've seen in the past all kinds of bad public health behavior at the trump rallies. they're going into these and the president announced three rallies over the next two or three days over the course of this week. he's going to be traveling across the country.

it's going to be in confined spaces on planes even as the white house continues to deal with this really bad outbreak of coronavirus, they're not changing their ways. they're showing defiance. >> to the point about not changing their ways, the president and his aides said a chance to be more empathetic about the impact of the pandemic on americans. instead, the president has continued as he said from the very beginning the play it down. listen. >> don't let it dominate you. don't be afraid of it. you're going to beat it. >> i feel like perfect. so i think this was a blessing from god that i caught it. this was a blessing in disguise. >> remember this. when you catch it, you get better and then you're immune. >> in some ways this plays up a contrast. listen to joe biden. he thinks thises the best way for him to close the campaign. >> his reckless personal conduct since his doing know sidiagnosi.

he didn't take the necessary precautions to protect himself or others. and the longer donald trump is president, the more reckless he gets. how can we trust him to protect this country? >> this issue will be front and center in the final 23 days. >> well, absolutely. this election was always going to be about the coronavirus and the administration's response to coronavirus and the effects on the economy. and on americans themselves as much as the administration tried to make it about other things, we're back to this. and in terms of the president always trying to protect strength, left unsaid, in the videos and in that what can only be described as a shcommercial r seniors, the president's care is care and the treatments he had access to are not accessible by

the majority of americans. his health care, most people don't have a team of doctors working on them day today. so the infection, we don't know the severity, but there's a good chance if someone else caught the same thing he did they might not have the same results because of the care he has access to. >> if you look at biden's lead versus clinton's lead in '16, people are saying we'll have a comeback. biden's lead has been steady. in national polls it's bigger than hillary clinton's lead was. what the president needs a comeback, and we know throughout the pandemic dr. anthony fauci has become a nationally known face on television. i suspect when he sees this ad from the trump campaign, he might cringe a bit. >> president trump is recovering from the coronavirus. and so is america. together we rose to meet the challenge. president trump tackled the virus head on as leaders should.

>> i can't imagine that anybody could be doing more. >> again, dr. fauci is regularly repeatedly, the other day he said the president held a super spreader event at the white house. deutsc dr. fauci's view is different than you see on this ad. >> yeah. that quote came from a couple months ago when dr. fauci was a public face of the task force. he's been sidelined. the president embraced other doctors who are more in line with his idea of herd mentality of not taking the virus seriously, of opening up everything immediately and not following public health guidelines. the president has changed his attack, and now we see he has been infected with the virus himself. he's trying to spin that into a positive saying he took the virus head on and he was a strong leader that caught the virus and tackled it and fought it and was able to come out successfully. a lot of americans realize the president had topnotch health care. he caught the virus in part because of the lax public health

guidelines at the white house and it's not clear that he's getting a polling bump at all from the fact he tackleed this virus in the words of that ad. instead his numbers seem to be going down because people think he hasn't taken it seriously enough. >> his numbers going down. if you talk to republican strategists and senate races and competitive house races and other races, they see this coming. listen to ted cruz and the word he uses. >> if people are going back to work, if they're optimistic, if they're positive about the future, we could see a fantastic election. but i also think if an election day people are angry and have given up hope and they're depressed which is what pelosi and schumer want them to be, i think it could be a terrible election. i think we could lose the white house and both houses of congress. it could be a blood bath of water gate proportions. >> skip the spin. a blood bath of water gate proportions. many are worried about.

>> listen to mitch mcconnell who was creating distance between himself and the white house talking about how they handled the virus versus how the senate handled the virus. a lot of the president's allies have caught the virus be it at the event for amy coney barrett or somewhere else. so it really is spreading into the campaign. you hear someone like a thom tillis talking about how he should have taken it more seriously. the fact that the majority of the republican party went along with the president initially, how he was handling the virus, that seems to be taking a turn as people see how it affects their lives and are looking toward their leaders currently there. some of them might be saying they don't like what they see. >> a great way to close that conversation. up next for us, we'll crunch the numbers. new covid-19 on the rise. and because of that so too are estimates of how many more americans will die in the weeks

and months ahead. . when you take care of yourself, you feel better. you thrive, you can do more. the time is now, let's go! join now and don't pay until 2021! you thrive, you can do more. the time is now, let's go! - with spray moppingrk vacmop to lock away debrisuction and absorb wet messes, all in one disposable pad. just vacuum, spray mop, and toss. the shark vacmop, a complete clean all in one disposable pad. women with metastatic webreast cancer,.... ...standing in the struggle. hustling through the hurt. asking for science, not sorrys. our time... ...for more time... ...has come. living longer is possible- and proven in women taking kisqali plus fulvestrant or a nonsteroidal aromatase inhibitor. kisqali is the only treatment in its class with proven overall survival results in 2 clinical trials. helping women live longer with hr+, her2-

a book that you're ready to share with the world? get published now, call for your free publisher kit today! just yesterday the president again saying the coronavirus is disappearing. the numbers tell you just the opposite. it is growing and spreading again, right now across the country. let's look at our trend map. this is just depressing. 30 states red and orange. just about everywhere 30 states trending in the wrong direction. more new coronavirus infections now compared to a week ago. you'll notice the entire northern half of the country where it's getting colder, infections going up. 18 holding steady. only two states, texas and hawaii fewer new infections now compared to a week ago. if you look at the case curve, and this is depressing, no other

word. yesterday more than 54,000 cases friday. more than 57,000 cases. on september 7th down to 24 hours cases. before the summer surge before 27,000 cases. up down some. now heading back up. heading back up. you see numbers near 60,000. what the public health experts worry about is if we went from 20 to 77, what happens if your baseline is 40 and you head up. how high do you go? look at the state setting records. 12 states setting records in their seven-day average of new coronavirus infections. 12 states setting records. that's not disappearing. and with the new cases hospitalizations also on the rise in many states. iowa, montana, south dakota, and wisconsin just four of the states where hospitalizations now going up as well. and sadly, the death curve continues to be high and the projections will go higher. 990 deaths on friday. you see it came down some. but with the cases, the public health experts tell you it is

inevitable this is going to trickle up. another model estimates 394, 693 deaths by december 1st. that's an average of 1500 deaths a day. that this projection tells you the death count is going to start going up. let's discuss it now. mr. mokedale, thank you for being with us. the trend line in your report, if mandates are eased and governors say forget about masks 'social distancing, you say it will get worse. this is your baseline right now if behavior is the same. 394,000 deaths. you say it could drop by 80,000 deaths if people would universally use masks. walk us through the conclusions. >> good morning. yes, what we are doing right now is projecting what we're seeing

based on behavior and what's happening in terms of relaxing the mandate. we're saying 395,000 by february 1st. but if 95% of americans wear their mask when they are outside their homes, we could see that number drop to 214. we're talking about 79,000 lives saved. or 44% of the deaths from now until february 1st. in the first time of our history, we have a no side effects to save a lot of lives and we should do it. if we let everything know, relaxing mandates, 503,000 deaths between now and february 1st. zblu. >> you mention a calm way to protect yourselves and we have a problem. i want to use new york. we remember new york went up the curve early. way up the hill. it was horrible. came down and has stayed down. if you take the long view, you would look at this and say new york is in good shape.

if you look at the last two months, new york starts to trickle back up in terms of the cases. that's just new york. you're starting to see this again, the positivity rate is low in new york. if you look at new york, new england, up through the northeast, we're starting to see this creep back up. is it inevitable that the whole country is going to start the second wave or are there ways to stop it? >> unfortunately, it will head up because of the fall and winter season. this virus loves the cold weather and we're moving indoors. we have seen when you look at the southern hemisphere, what we've seen in south africa and chile, even with all the measures they put in place, the covid-19 kept going up because it follows what we see in the seasonality. we have to be -- we are as humans sometimes we feel safer indoors, especially among our friends. this is a message for all of us.

be vigilant even when we move indoors and stay away from each other, otherwise it could go higher. >> and you mention the unfortunate nature going higher. in your latest report, there's also discussion about the numbers of so-called herd immunity. meaning if people decide rip it, you hear the term. once we all get exposed, everybody will be okay. your latest report says absolutely not. walk through some of the numbers. 15 million deaths globally. .2 -- 1.2 in the united states. >> there are so many unfounded rumors out there saying let's go to herd immunity. what we are seeing because we monitor every country in the world in our estimates, we haven't seen it. if you look at a french area, 70% of the citizens were infected. if you look at brazil, some areas 60% and the pandemic was still going on.

for um munty in the united states means a failure. right now in the united states the only state with 25% is new jersey. most of the states are low. as a country we're less than 10%. if we allow this to happen in the united states and we have done this calculation just to put the information out there and tell the public herd immunity is not a reality. 40% is 10 million global deaths. 850,000 deaths in the united states. if we go to 60%, which we have seen right now in brazil, as we mentioned, that's 15000001.8 million in the united states. so we really need to wear our masks, stay away from each other, giver our scientists a chance to get a vaccine that's effective to reduce the spread of this virus. >> i like the last part, give science a chance and give scientists a chance, maybe listen to them as well. grateful for your insights on this sunday morning. thank you. next for us, back to politics in the battle ground states.

today let's paint. behr. exclusively at the home depot.

three weeks and two days to election day, joekd in the driver's seat. a double digit lead in national polling advantages. and a lopsided advantage in the cnn electoral outlet. the president is struggling everywhere, and if you look at this map, joe biden is at 290 electoral votes. it takes 270 to win.

the light blue biden. dark red solid trump. light red lean trump. if we won them all, we would be short. the president needs to come back in places he won handily in 2016. he must take florida back without a doubt. arizona, we lean it right now for joe biden. that's trouble for the president losing in places he won before. let's take a look at some of the dynamics. if you look at the battle ground polling the president came back in 2016. look at the battle ground polls. here are ten from recent days. what do you notice? only one has a trump lead. that's georgia plus one. that's essentially a tie. the tie in the states not just the national polls is biden's way right now. in part, biden is protecting his lead because this is a phenomenon in the race. biden is outstanding the republican incumbent president.

nearly $50 million in florida for biden. $31 million for the president. arizona 19 million. for the vice president, a little over 9 million for president trump. the president has been unable to campaign because of coronavirus. joe biden is spending more than him in battle ground states. and as they travel the former vice president and the vice president in florida. joe biden targeting the suburbs. menace trying to get senior citizens to vote republican. >> how many more have to go under? how many more dreams have to be extinguished because this president threw in this towel. he's still trying to take care of -- take away health care. >> because of the cooperation of the american people, the leadership of our president, we're slowing the spread. we're protecting the vulnerable. and we're saving lives. and we're opening up america again. >> with us to share the

reporting and insights, mark kaputo, mark, let me start with you. you had mike pence the vice president in the villages. it's a campaign stop we see in every cycle in state races you see it all the time and in the presidential races. look at the numbers. biden versus trump. among senior citizens in july it was 49-46. the latest poll 55-40. what is it in florida ha has senior citizens breaking for biden in the late days? >> i'm not sure those polls are accurate. i don't mean to trash them -- >> they tend to lean blue. i get you. >> they've had some problems. but coronavirus is the short answer to your question. seniors are more likely to die and get tonightiz hospitalized. we're one of if not the most

elderly portion of the nation. you're seeing biden more than hillary clinton and about as much as barack obama is taking a good share of the nonhispanic white vote and the older vote. we've seen polling say the democrat is going to win and election day happens and it doesn't happen. >> and ivan in arizona one of the challenges you see the states, this is my 9th presidential campaign. you think of them as the last time. your state is changing so fast, much like florida. the sun belt, you're seeing the growing suburbs outside of feebifee phoenix, marco pa county, go back to 2000, it was 914,000 votes. president bush won by ten. mccain in the other election, 1.2 million. in 2016 it was 1.5. 2020 it will likely be a higher

number and the revolt in the suburbs against trump is one of the reasons arizona is leaning bide s biden? >> yes. it seems to be cratering among seen years for president trump and you have joe biden alongside cindy mccain, the late senator's wife vouching for him and talking about his character, particularly with members of faith. people voting based on values and the president's handling of the coronavirus. we've got a lot of transplants who brought their political philosophies, often times from liberal states. both the candidates are wrestling with the state's 11 electoral votes. joe biden has consistently led here. >> you mentioned cindy mccain endorsement. and now a new tv ad. let's look at it. >> in the senate, they disagreed

on almost everything. they might like hell on the floor and go each lunch together because they always put their friendship and their country first. now more than ever we need a president who will put service before self. >> it is interesting, including in your state with such a well known figure cindy mccain, joe biden is closing, he's closing with a message of unity. i want to be republican's president as well as democrat's president. >> yeah. he's using cindy in particular to reach disaffected republican women voters, independent women voters. people who maybe voted for trump in 2016 but bu are starting to have second thaukts about the president. she's trying to give them a permission structure to break away from the party. >> mark, your state is one of the most complicated, florida, it's different.

the old cl the farther south you go, the further north you get. walk through the implications if you're a candidate trailing late in a race, how hard it is, because you have different constituencies depending on where you are in the state. >> okay. yeah. we have ten major media markets and 67 counties. the southeast of florida is like the northeast. but miami dade and the far southeast is the capital of latin america. on the southwest coast is culturally like the midwest because of i-75 and then the i--4 corridor from tampa to orlando and east to daytona beach. it's everywhere usa. you have different constituencies and then north florida, the farther north you go, the deeper south you are. in florida we have about 30 days of early voting by absentee

ballot. you can't compare 2016 to 2020 exactly. republicans listening to the president has demonized mail in voting but it's a big deal democrats are turning in absentee ballots at such a high rate. 8 times what they did at this point in 2016. that compares to 483,000 republican. the democrats are really voting in big numbers. now, when the in person early voting period begins earlier in the month, we'll see if republicans catch up and if they're going to show up that way. one last point in 2016 hillary clinton actually went into election day with a 247,000 vote lead. republicans showed such force she lost the state by 113,000. so we've seen this play before a little. we haven't seen democrats pour

it on like this. >> arizona is early voting, is that similar? >> that's what we're seeing. we've only just begun. i don't think we have a good enough sense of the frietrend l but we expect democratic surges in the state. we'll watch them closely and report on them on the arizona republic. >> grateful for your help this sunday. >> thank you. up next, the president's stimulus offer is panned by house democrats and senate republicans. washington gridlock that threatens the fragile coronavirus recovery. tor] the sp combines powerful suction with spray mopping to lock away debris and absorb wet messes, all in one disposable pad. just vacuum, spray mop, and toss. the shark vacmop, a complete clean all in one disposable pad.

behr. exclusively at the home depot. it's a dark, lonely place. this is art inspired by real stories of people living with bipolar depression. emptiness. a hopeless struggle. the lows of bipolar depression can disrupt your life and be hard to manage. latuda could make a real difference in your symptoms. latuda was proven to significantly reduce bipolar depression symptoms, and in clinical studies, had no substantial impact on weight. now i'm feeling connected. empowered. latuda is not for everyone. call your doctor about unusual mood changes, behaviors or suicidal thoughts. antidepressants can increase these in children, teens, and young adults. elderly dementia patients on latuda have an increased risk of death or stroke. call your doctor about fever, stiff muscles, and confusion, as these may be life-threatening, or uncontrollable muscle movements as these may be permanent. these are not all the serious side effects. this is where i want to be.

talk to your doctor and ask if latuda could make the difference you've been looking for in your bipolar depression symptoms. you are counting on new and quick economic help in washington, odds are you'll be disapointed. there was talks. the president authorized his team to raise the acceptable price tag of a package to $1.8 billion. house democrats are at 2.2 billion right now. compromise appeared possible. the house speaker telling democrats in a letter saturday the white house offer was in her view, one step forward, two steps back. meaning more money was a plus, but disagreements remain over how to spend it. then the senate said it was far too generous. now the talks are not dead. but those involved are not optimistic. that worries economists like mark who warns companies are at

a cross roads. he writes this. if as a result they lose confidence in the kroef and pull back on their spending investment and hiring, then the recovery will unravel. lawmakers don't have much time left to shore up that faith. mark zandy is with us this sunday. mark, explain the consequences of what you're talking about here. how bad and how soon if washington doesn't help? >> well, if lawmakers can't get it together and provide fiscal support, the economic recovery which is already weakening, will weaken further and i think by the end of the year and early next, we'll see job losses. you can see it in the jobs data. go back to june, the economy created 4.8 million jobs. that was the peak of the growth. and then in july we got to 1.8. august last month and september 670,000. you can see the trend lines, john. and that's with fiscal support. that's gone now. if we dent get additional help

from d.c., i think we'll get job losses by the end of the year, early next. unemployment will start to rise. we need that package and soon. >> the package that the house was contemplating includes state and local governments, aide to the airline industry. stimulus for americans. payments for small businesses, additional unemployment benefits. there's been resistance to individual bills. from your perspective, what is needed most now? >> well, i think all the above, really, john. i mean, i think to avoid backsliding into recession, we need a package that's between 1.5 and 2 trillion. lawmakers were in the right ballpark, and that has to include aid to state and local governments. if they don't get help, they're going to lay off again and cut programs and services. help to unemployed workers and low income households. here's a fact for you. one fifth of american workers are unemployed, underemployed or

suffered a pay cut since the pandemic. more help to small business. they need the help. restaurants, hotels, businesses and recreational activities, transportation activity. they're struggling to survive. the pandemic is raging and their business is significantly disrupted. the airlines need help. i can go on and on. we need all the above. >> but the house democrats say the president's plan is still too small. house democrats say that. senate republicans say it's too big. who knows if they can find a sweet spot before the e election. if you listen to the president, he says if joe biden wins the one thing we have seen that's been encouraging, a decent stock market will crash. you write you think the markets have factored in a biden win and they're not that worried. explain. >> exactly. i mean, you were talking about the polls. the poll numbers are pretty definitive. it looks like increasingly like vice president biden is going to win the election. there's even growing odds that there's going to be a democratic

sweep. betting markets are anticipating this. stock investors know all this and are anticipating this. despite that, stock prices have held firm even had a good week last week despite that. i think because investors are beginning to calculate on the other side of the election if it's a democratic sweep, we'll get a large fiscal package. it will be $3 trillion and that's really good for the economy and for business and corporate earnings and good for stock. the stock market is signaling they're okay with a biden victory and democratic sweep. >> the question is if they had to wait for that, what devastation would happen in the meantime? >> exactly. that's between here and there. and of course, as we know, things happen. so pandemic could intensify. the election could be chaos and a mess. there's a lot of things that could go completely off the rails between now and after the inauguration february of next year when they get a piece of

legislation, and a lot of people are going to suffer as a result. >> mark, grateful for your insights this sunday. we'll keep in touch as the debate plays out. those involved in the talks not optimistic. up next, court fights everywhere as millions of americans vote by mail because of the coronavirus pandemic. election...

perhaps a short-lived one. a federal judge there said the governor there cannot limit drop boxes to one per county which means long lines like houston, harris county. and appellate court stayed that order meaning governor abbott's restrictions stay in place for now. a judge in ohio with a similar ruling saying the republican secretary of state cannot limit drop boxes to one location per county because the judge says it's not fair to voters in big cities like cleveland. the state has already filed an appeal there. a win for republicans in wisconsin. a federal appeals court says ballots must be received by election day to be counted. the appeals court reversing a lower court ruling said because of the pandemic, ballots received up to one week after election day could be counted. both sides continue to argue in court. they will through the election and perhaps beyond on the same trail sending message to the supporters in the final days. get to the polls. if we are getting anything done we got to come together.

georgia. we will watch this all the way through to the election. from the states where we have data nationally break ing it don 50% by democrats. doesn't mean they voted democrat but democrats are voting overwhelmingly biden and republicans for trump. 51% of cast by democrats and republicans. we don't know how they voted. you can do the odds. in north carolina, fewer ballots cast so far but a big number. 418,000. half of them returned by democratic voters and 18% by republicans so democrats have the advantage of the mail-in voting so far. we need to count on election day as well p.m. pennsylvania 64%.
