away. >> no, can you please keep it on? >> well, i'm not going to talk through a mask. tomorrow will be day two of the barrett hearing. don't miss a full day of coverage at cnn. i want to hand it over to chris for cuomo prime time. trump was in florida tonight, a state with more than 5,000 new cases just this past weekend. and he's heading to several other states this week that are also struggling in this pandemic. and he's doing it for one very obvious, if odious reason. he believes this is good for him and his campaign. that's what he thinks. what he knows for sure is that he is creating risk for the people who care most about him in this country everywhere he goes. and he does not care. how can i say that? look at the proof. he says nothing about the spacing at the rallies.

he says nothing about the maskless nature. in fact, he celebrates contact. >> i went through it. now they say i'm immune. i can -- i feel so powerful. i'll walk in there. i'll kiss everyone in that audience. i'll kiss the guys and the beautiful women and everybody. i'll just give you a big, fat kiss. when you are the president, you can't lock yourself in a basement and say i'm not gonna bother with the world. you got to get out. and it's risky. it's risky, but you got to get out. >> that's completely untrue. it's risky, so you don't get out. the worst part is i'm thinking about the people, not the president, to be honest. they're exposing themselves for all bad reasons. they either don't know or pay attention to the risk. they think they're showing support for trump by not wearing

a mask. and the part that gets me the most is listen to the supporters themselves. listen to what one says they would do if trump said to. >> you saw what happened at the white house recently where so many people who were outside an event got coronavirus, including the president ended up with coronavirus. that doesn't concern you? >> nope. nope. >> why doesn't that concern you? >> i'm healthy. i have no underlying health issues and that seems to be the people that are most prone to getting the disease. if you have an underlying -- >> he was healthy, too, though and he had to take a helicopter to the hospital. he had good medical care. do you have medical care that good? >> no, but i take care of myself. >> a mask can do more harm than harm to individuals. >> it can? >> people can faint. >> do you have a problem of people fainting all over the country? >> just enough. enough people are getting ill because they're wearing the mask. >> really?

>> common sense. >> do you believe you won't get sick from it? >> i don't care if i do because i know i'm not going to die from it. >> oh, you know? how do you know that, with all due respect. >> you know what, if i do, i do. i'm not afraid. i believe in god and i trust that if i get the virus, that is god's will. >> we have seen the numbers drop every single day. >> the numbers are going up now. and mr. trump says it's disappears but it's not. that's not the truth. >> i'm debating on what the truth is for that because what i can see it's -- all the numbers i have read have been down. >> that's what you believe? >> yes. >> let me ask you this. if president trump said everyone put on their masks. >> i would put it on. >> that kills me. it just does. mr. president, what else do you have to hear? tell them to put on a mask. you were throwing packages of them out there. just say, listen, put them on. make the scientists happy. just put them on. we don't want anybody getting

sick. i need you all to vote for me. so put the mask on. maybe you are not as tough as i am. you won't be immune. he doesn't know that he's immune. i don't know that i'm immune. we don't know anything. nobody told him he's immune. okay? but his refusing to give the right message on masks matters. they listen to you. they would act differently. they would be safer. why don't you want that? you refuse to respect the mask rule yourself that made you sick, and you lied about it before the debate. you said, well, we took tests. you didn't take a test and you knew you didn't take a test and you lied anyway. and you were clearly willing to have contact before you were immune. how do we know? well, because we don't know when he last tested negative before he tested positive for covid. that is the actionable space.

that's when he was likely contagious. why don't they tell us? privacy concerns. please! if it's not too private to say when he tested negative on consecutive days since having covid so he's able to do these things, then why won't they tell us when he tested negative before he got it? what is this, selective privacy? it's exactly what it is. look, and i hope the president is free from the virus. but nowhere in america is really free from it. look at the damn map. he knows this map. he gets briefed on it every day. he just doesn't give a damn. new cases are up 41% from last month nationwide. and he's on a four-state blitz this week gathering largely maskless maga crowds? you are making your own people sitting ducks. oh, we have never had a problem at a rally. that's b.s. we know they have.

why do it? his own top infectious disease expert warns trump, you're asking for more trouble. we know that that is asking for trouble when you do that. we have seen that when you have situations of settings with a lot of people without masks. the data speak for themselves. it happens. and now is even more so a worse time to do that because when you look at what's going on in the united states, it is really very troublesome. >> look, you know, the shame is if he would get on the other side of this and start being aggressive about what kind of testing we should have, what kind of protocols we should have, hey, maybe there is a better way. maybe you can be more selectively protective. but that's not what he's doing with these rallies. you got the old and the frail in there with the young and the strong. where is a better plan?

instead of ignoring the reality, help shape the reality. he's been warned. he is more worried about losing this election than losing a few supporters to covid along the way. and those in the right have bought in, which is why senator mike lee from utah who tested positive 11 days ago couldn't be bothered to wear a mask today at the supreme court confirmation hearing. he could still be contagious. it's hard to believe we are where we are now after all we know. let's bring in a doctor and also david axelrod just for what the political calculus, the plus/minus is on this. did you hear about what just happened with one of the drug trials? johnson & johnson said today it's pausing the advanced clinical trial phase three of its experimental coronavirus vaccine because of an unexplained illness in one of the volunteers.

they say this happens. it is an expected part of any clinical study, especially a large study. but this is the second phase three coronavirus vaccine trial to be paused. s a they're a believer in that and they're hoping that will go well. now, this news matters, especially in the specific context of the political pressure on the fda just last week to not do anything to slow down the approval process of these vaccines. what does this breaking news today mean? >> so, chris, thank you for having me on. the johnson & johnson trial is the biggest trial of the vaccine that i know of. 60,000 people. within that trial, you'd expect a few positives. so on one hand, you're right, this is completely expected and it is just a reminder of how

ridiculous it is how to meet a political time line of having a vaccine before november 3rd. that's not how it weeks. these things take time. we have to let the process play out. it's going to take a while, and we will see these bumps on the road. to me, it is reassuring that companies are pausing when they need to. >> quick follow, we just heard a trump supporter i don't believe was saying it sarcastically where she says, yeah, if he told me to put on the mask, i would. that confirms our absolute worst suspicions. what do you think it could mean if he started saying at the rally, look, i want you to come together. we will try to keep you apart a little bit and wear the mask. wear the mask. what kind of difference do you think that could make? >> well, i think it would save tens of thousands of american lives because it wouldn't just be the people that come to his rallies. all of his supporters who have so far not been wearing masks would get the massage and the

data is very clear. the 90% of americans wore masks we would have tens of thousands of fewer deaths over the next few months. >> and we're at barely 60% or something like that. axe, what is the basis for the political play to continue to play down the pandemic even now? not that you subscribe to the theory, but what is the theory that they're acting on? >> the whole saga dating back to january, he believes he can spin this virus. he believes he can impose his will on the story. just consider the ad in which dr. fauci was misquoted or taken out of context. the beginning of the ad starts like this. he's recovering from the coronavirus and so is america. and that is the message that he wants people to receive in these final weeks of the campaign. it is the same message he was trying to deliver in february, and it is just not true.

and the danger of it is in trying to promote this fiction, he is encouraging people to act irresponsibly. did you know that governor ron desantis in florida who is presiding over another surge of cases in florida was standing there in the middle of the crowd without a mask tonight. >> yeah. >> i mean, it is really extraordinary. it is incredible. it is irresponsible. but it is very familiar, chris. this has been the story from the beginning. it is one of the reasons he's double digits behind right now. >> the states he's going to and the states biden is going to, they're going to reach states. explain what a reach state is. we will go more in depth later in the show. but what is the play, and why does it matter? >> well, look, i think what's happening, actually is that trump is playing defense and biden is playing offense. i mean, there are six states really of florida and north carolina, pennsylvania, michigan, wisconsin and arizona

that are the core battleground states. but you are seeing candidates travel to other states, to states like georgia, you know, ohio. biden was in ohio. that is a state that no republican has ever lost and won the presidency. and now it is an even state. and i think it tells you a little something about the state of play here. the fact that the president is going to des moines, iowa, a state that he won by nine points last time is pretty telling. and he's on the defense, and biden is on the offense. biden is expanding his map. i think that's the story of this race. it's more likely that biden will win maybe a landslide victory in the electoral college than it is donald trump will get 270 electoral votes. >> later in the show we have a whole pathway analysis about what could happen on election night but just as a little bit of a taste. the idea that biden is going to

ohio, he's got no business in ohio. looking at 2016 trump won by eight, almost nine points. so the president going there, you know, on defense when he won it by close to ten points tells you something. so the idea that things are getting worse, people say no, no, no, you are just playing it up because we're getting near the election. you want to scare us. we already went through it. now it's the flu. you are confusing covid with the flu. that's what we're seeing. what is the reality that you see in the numbers? >> yeah. so the reality is very clear, chris. the flu is not what's surging right now. what is surging is covid by about 20% over the last month. you know everybody always says cases, not hospitalizations. guess what? hospitalizations are up 10%. they always lag. unfortunately, we know where this story goes. deaths will start climbing in the next week or two.

we have played this movie over and over and over again. we're playing it really the third time, and it's not a good movie. i don't think any of us want to see it end this way. so we can still turn it around. we have talked about what we need to do. avoid the indoor gatherings or the masks. wash your hands, fixed testing. but we don't seem to be able to pull the political will. >> is there a middle ground that hasn't been explored yet that, where you can, allow the young or the not at risk to go back to work and school and do more to protect those who are vulnerable? you have an older teacher, they don't have to do it. they get to work from home. nursing homes and all the places where they are, you keep them safe. the you have households with mixed generations, you treat it differently. should we be thinking about that approach more? >> first of all, no doubt about it, we should be doing more to protect vulnerable people, absolutely. >> but while letting other people go and go to work and go

to school. you know how i feel about schools. i want my kid in school. i think they should be able to be in school. >> yeah. so schools are a different issue, chris. but let's get back to the issue of letting young people get back to work. the problem with that theory is that if you let the infection rip in the young, it turns out you need workers in nursing homes. they get infected, nursing home residents get infected. older people need to go to the grocery store. they will encounter younger people. you can't segregate an aspect of society. people have thought about this. they tried it. it just doesn't work. >> it's just not that simple. >> protect everybody. >> axe, quick prediction. what do you think turn-out is like? >> massive. over 150 million voters. largest turn-out since 1960 is what i predict. >> were you ready for that question? i didn't even prep it. that was a very quick answer, axe. i'm surprised by that. thank god you are healthy, you and the family be well.

doctor, as always, thank you for understanding and teaching us what the straight path is. republicans are making a big bet. what is the bet? that getting another scotus justice will bring people more relief than anything else, even than passing an actual relief bill at a time that we have more people standing in line all over this country for food than any time you can remember. the hearings just started on judge amy coney barrett today. a senator who was there is here now to argue how dangerous the hearing was, literally, and politically. next. i now earn even more cash back? oh i got to tell everyone. hey, rita! you now earn 3% on dining, including takeout! bon appetit. hey kim, you now earn 5% on travel purchased through chase! way ahead of you! hey, neal! you can earn 3% at drugstores. buddy, i'm right here. why are you yelling? because that's what i do! you're always earning with 5% cash back on travel

purchased through chase, 3% at drugstores, 3% on dining including takeout, and 1.5% on everything else you buy. chase. make more of what's yours. such as high blood pressure,ve pdiabetes, and asthma.s this administration and senate republicans want to overturn laws requiring insurance companies to cover people with pre-existing conditions. they're rushing a lifetime appointment to the supreme court to change the law through the courts. 70% of americans want to keep protections for pre-existing conditions in place. tell our leaders in washingtn to stop playing games with our healthcare. i paid off my credit cards and apand felt a weightnal loan. come off my shoulders. thank you sofi for a great experience and for helping me get my money right. ♪

covid test before starting the hearing. think about how crazy the second part is. we know they're going to jump the process. so that's just impolite. but can you believe, no, no testing. we don't need to know. really? let's get some insight from new jersey senator corey booker who was in the room with judge barrett on day one. thank you for joining us on "prime time". >> thank you for having me. it's good to be on. >> what was your level of confidence in a room where you knew none of your colleges were tested. senator lindsey graham said, we're all cdc complaint. good. we don't need to test. >> a number of them were at that super spreader event which we assumed is where thom tillis got the virus which they're on the committee. the responsible thing to do would be a testing protocol in which all senators would be tested, not just for ourselves,

but remember there are dozens and dozens of people from the security area to people wiping down and cleaning the room. it is irresponsible. look, when a senator gets sick, they have great health care. and i think what we try to make clear today was that unfortunately with covid rates going up now and the majority of our states so many americans are struggling and many americans should this nominee get confirmed in time to hear the oral arguments or the trump administration's push to invalidate the affordable care act we could have millions losing their health insurance in the middle of a pandemic. >> lucky for them the president has no plans so maybe he wouldn't be able to move that quickly even if he was re-elected. did you have a chance to request senator lee why he did not wear a mask? >> i did not. >> i would love to know what his rational is. what do you think is behind the rekals trins? the i don't need a mask. they're not stupid people.

you know senator lee from utah. he's not a dumb guy. senator lindsey graham certainly is not a dumb guy. what is motivating the madness? >> you know, somehow from the very beginning of this pandemic, doing the right thing often got politicized and we saw from governors to the president themselves saying outrageous things that didn't just put lives at risks but in many ways could have cost us to have a higher rate of death in this country than most other nations on the planet earth. it is unfortunate. we have a country that really lacked leadership, especially a president that's uniquely unqualified for this crisis. >> just crazy. could you imagine what i would do to you if you were in senator mike lee's position and you decided not to wear a mask and show up at a committee because you didn't think it was necessary. as big a guy as you are and as powerful, that would go ugly early, and, yet, they are celebrated. yet, it went to something you said today.

i want to play it for the audience in case they missed it. would you please play the senator's sound bite about normalcy? >> nothing about this today is normal. this is not normal. what is going on in america today in the midst of a deadly pandemic in an ongoing election, having a rushed supreme court nomination hearing is not normal, and we cannot normalize it. >> getting a lot of traction. is it true? what is normal? if it's what's accepted. trump was elected, right? he's got tons of support. i know their polls but it could be a very, very tight race. he could win. then wouldn't that make this normal? because this is what people want normatively. where do you really think we are right now? i get the passion of the argument. but have we moved passed that point with his election?

>> well, donald trump has shattered so many of our democratic norms, but this is exceptional. we right now are not -- we're not 22 days out from an election. millions of people are already in the process of voting. >> yep. >> only time we have seen a supreme court justice die during a presidential election was under lincoln. and he waited until after the election. but the problem is there is so much clearly at stake. donald trump said i will only put justices up. i will overcome roe v. wade and that will tear down the aca. they said they will do the right thing in the aca. so people know what's at stake, and they are out there voting right now. they should have the opportunity to speak and for him to rush this through in this process as you said in an environment that's not even safe as it should be, this is unacceptable, not normal and wrong. >> will you give me a yes/no on whether or not your party if you

get control of the senate should consider packing the court? >> i have learned a long time ago not to speak for my party and you and i both know i think that's luring us into a false debate. we have to win the senate back. we have to win enough senate seats because clearly there is going to bedy ver against of opinion on it. we are so far away from that hypothetical. >> you don't have any personal opinion on it, senator? forget about the party. >> so, yeah. i have a lot of personal opinion. i'm looking forward to a lot of vibrant debates about it, about d.c. state hood. >> are you open to that discussion? >> i'm open to winning. i'm focussed on winning. i'm tired of my party, democrats, jumping to debates that are really moot right now. what everybody should be focussed on is getting people out to vote and winning an election. >> i think it is hurting biden. that's why i ask you, senator. i think it's hurting biden. i think when he was asked would you consider it, kamala harris

asked, we don't want to talk about it. why? doesn't he need a better answer than that about what's going on here? i mean, i could think of two or three answers that are better than that one just off the top of my head is i'm not going to answer it good enough if you want to get people's votes and that issue matters? >> well, your job is that. my job is a democratic senator who is up for re-election. i'm focussing on what's important. this you do know, chris. he's doing a great job. he's campaigning incredibly hard, and he is earning people's trust. they trust him more than the guy in the office right now. so far be it for me to shit all over him. >> did you just say you shouldn't should all over your candidate? is that what you just said? >> yeah. okay. because you are one of the cleanest guys i know.

i want to make sure on this show you never really know. could have gone a different way. thank you. i just wanted to clarify that. >> i can only get you in trouble. let one more beat on this, which is they trust him because he's straight with them. this issue matters. if he won't give an answer, if harris won't give an answer, are they being straight with the american people? >> i just want to tell you right now, chris, and you know this. this is a legislative move. he's running to be president of the united states. and, again, i think it's a distraction. right now what i want for my president, tell me how you are going to deal with saving and expanding the affordable care act. tell me how you are going to protect people in the midst of the pandemic. >> what if his answer is by expanding the court to make up for the fact they are a 6-3 advantage. >> he doesn't have the power. we have to change the rules of the senate to get that done. there is so many hypotheticals

behind hypotheticals before anything like that would get to his desk. he's focussing on what he can control, what he can promise. he will keep us safer. he will expand health insurance. he will get more people back to work. these are the things of the president of the united states can do. they're trying to do everything they can to change the subject from a president who is uniquely unqualified for the crisis that we're in. >> senator, once you guys get through the hearing, i would love to have you come back on your take on the judge. >> i appreciate it. i promise i won't should all over anything. >> you know, you keep playing with it. when you say it too fast -- >> i'm sorry. >> i appreciate you coming on the snow. god bless you and the family. stay healthy. >> chris, god bless you. thank you for saying that. thank you. look, the president keeps saying we are not going to know the winner on election night.

i'm not a fan of what he's selling you because i think he's pushing you to not trust your institutions, okay? especially with all the ballot drama that he concocts. there is such a good chance that it isn't true. but there is something that is true, which he may be responsible for in part. now, no magical thinking involved, but i will enlist the help of a wizard to show you what you may not see next. how about no no uh uh, no way come on, no no n-n-n-no-no only discover has no annual fee on any card. ♪ you know limu,g after all these years n-n-n-no-no

but despite the rising pain and

anguish made worse during the pandemic, insurance companies still refused to cover mental health and addiction treatment. until now. senator scott wiener went to work - taking them on. passing a law requiring the insurance industry to cover mental health and addiction treatment. now more than ever, californians need mental health coverage. i won't let up until the stigma of mental health and addiction is finally over. first of all, big piece right after this about what's happening in california that shows maybe some ballot impropriety, all right? big investigation. got that. and guess who i have on at the end of the show. you know that viral tiktok with the guy that's making everybody feel better with the fleetwood

mack and the dreams and the ocean spray? i got him. awesome. and we need it. but first joe biden made two stops in ohio, looking to expand his reach into republican territory. is he nuts? what's he doing in ohio. trump won it by almost ten last time. then the president is in florida. why florida? hasn't he seen the polls? this is a window into the dynamic of desperation on one side and the desperateness of opportunity to be had on the other. there is math to the apparent madness. the wizard of odds says the answer is within reach, as in reach states. wiz, thank you very much. compliment my writing later. what is a reach state and what are we seeing? >> first off, i want to say i don't know what tiktok is. but look here is what a reach state. it is the states outside of the main six that each side hopes to

bring into their column if there is a blow-out. on the democratic side, the reaches are essentially those states that trump won by four or more in 2016 while trump is hoping to win those states that clinton won by three points or less in 2016. take a look at those polls on your screen right now. the polling average in those states. in the biden reaches, he is up, even if by a small margin in georgia, iowa, ohio. texas is very very close. while in the trump reaches, the things he would hope to put in play, he's not close in any of them. the closest is in nevada where he's down by seven. >> now, the president says it's not going to be over on election night. you say not so fast. all right. so lay the ground work for this potential pathway based on what you guys in the analysis business believe are putative or built-in ceiling that each

candidate comes in with on election night. explain. >> look, here's the situation. take a look at the six closest states that trump won in 2016, right? and what do you see there? the key nugget there is florida. that's a five point lead for joe biden right now. we know, and we can get to it a little bit more in a second. we know that florida counts its votes very, very quickly. and we know also that if joe biden wins in florida, there are very few scenarios in which donald trump can win the presidency. so the fact that joe biden has a clear lead there right now, his ceiling, that is part of his ceiling and the fact that he's ahead right now could be an indication that we may in fact have a very good idea on election night who wins. >> so if biden wins florida and fill in the blank, you will know on election night likely that he won? >> i mean, the fact is if he wins florida and basically doesn't lose any states that we're expecting him to lose,

then that's basically your fill in the blank, right? >> what's the best chance? like florida plus what, arizona, that he almost certainly wins? what is it? >> right. i mean, basically it's florida plus any of the states on your screen right now would get him plus the clinton states to 270 electoral votes and he's ahead in all of them. the problem is that the vote counting in those states may be slower so we might not necessarily get biden to 270 electoral votes on election night. but, you know, i really do crack the numbers, chris. that's all i do in my day. there is nothing else i do. and if joe biden wins florida, even if he doesn't reach 270, even if we can't get a call, folks like me will say, look, we haven't called this race yet, but there is a very good shot that joe biden has won the presidency. >> let me get one more step on the what. on the what of florida, okay, what is the counting deal there in terms of what we'll know on election night? >> right. so if we could skip ahead to the

ballot process slide, what you will essentially see is that early votes and absentee votes, right, some states will process those votes earlier than election day while others will have to wait until election day or later to count them. florida is one of those states where those votes will be processed on election day. so they will count them very quickly. you will see as soon as the polls close a bunch of mail-in votes go in. if we go one step further, remember, most of the votes in florida unlike some of these other states you have to have the ballots postmarked and in, they have to be in on election day, which is very different than some of these other midwest say battleground states where all it has to be is postmarked by election day. florida the ballots must be received. so received and they will be processed so we will have a fairly good idea on election night what has occurred in florida. >> there are a lot of important states that have a little bit of

weird rules here, right? not weird, but, you know, just in terms of timing. wisconsin and pennsylvania, you are not going to know on election night because they won't have their count finished. and michigan is split in half, harry. you have the big cities you can count before election day. but the rest of the state you can't count until after election day. so do you do michigan? >> yeah. look, we are in a very weird time, right? a lot of these states have not traditional had large early votes or large mail votes. florida is the one that really has. so we're not exactly sure how long it's necessarily going to take to count the ballots in a lot of these states. states like wisconsin, states like pennsylvania. we just know the rules that have sort of laid out. and remember back in the primary it took a very long time for those votes to be counted in a place like pennsylvania. so i would buckle in, but that's why i'm saying to you and i said over and over again florida, florida, florida, just like him russ set state back in 2000. >> and also because florida should have them counted on

election night. that's going to be a very closely watched counting situation down there. harry, thank you very much. you made it obvious, and i appreciate that. >> i love you, buddy. >> love you. appreciation is all over. got to love each other. the president keeps saying he doesn't love our balloting process, that it makes it too easy this mail-in ballots. you can collect and mail-in votes. you know, he may be right. he may be right about what his own party is doing in california. some serious allegations against the gop in that state. california's secretary of state knows the case next. tonight... i'll be eating roasted cauliflower tacos with spicy chipotle sauce.

the unfair money bail system. he, accused of rape. while he, accused of stealing $5. the stanford rapist could afford bail; got out the same day. the senior citizen could not; forced to wait in jail nearly a year. voting yes on prop 25 ends this failed system, replacing it with one based on public safety.

because the size of your wallet shouldn't determine whether or not you're in jail. vote yes on prop 25 to end money bail. taking california for a ride. companies like uber, lyft, doordash. breaking state employment laws for years. now these multi-billion-dollar companies wrote deceptive prop 22 to buy themselves a new law. to deny drivers the rights they deserve. no sick leave. no workers' comp. no unemployment benefits. vote no on the deceptive uber, lyft, doordash prop 22. one ride california doesn't want to take. this is really interesting. there is a new investigation underway tonight by california election officials into boxes like these. show the box.

it's a fake ballot dropoff box in los angeles. they found them. orange county, fresno county, big counties in california. some of them designate themselves as official ballot boxes. but they're not. they're unauthorized at a minimum. this is what you should be looking for, bright orange boxes. any other boxes you should not put your ballot in. that's what california's secretary of state says, so he has sent a cease and desist order to the responsible party for the fugaze fixtures. that party, the state's republican party, according to california secretary of state alex padilla. mr. secretary, thank you for joining us. >> thank you, chris. thank you for joining me. >> are you sure it's them? >> they have admitted as much, so it's not just the state

republican party but it looks like some of their local committees participating as well. so we sent the cease and desist letter also to the fresno county republican party, los angeles county republican party, orange county republican party while we continue to gather information. we hope it's been contained. we hope they comply with the cease and desist orders. but we're hoping people continue to submit information. >> one more step down the process and then we'll have the argument about why this is the right move. have they said they will comply? >> they have not said they will comply with the terms of our cease and desist yet. although, we have heard that many of the drop boxes have been removed. so i do think that's going to be a little bit more back and forth here before we find a complete resolution. in the meantime, we're reminding people there are multiple options to vote and protect their health during this covid-19 pandemic.

when you return your ballot, voters can have confidence knowing it is in secure hands and it will be counted. >> here is the counter offer by them. more boxes the better, mr. secretary. we're just trying to help you do it. if they drop off their ballot in a safe location with people they trust rather than handing it over to a stranger who knocks on their door, what's wrong with that? >> look, here is the truth, chris. in california, californians have multiple options to return their mail-in ballots. yes, every active registered voter is getting a mail-in ballot because of covid-19 pandem pandemic. they can return it by mail. secure official drop boxes is another good option. voters can also deliver their ballot to in person voter location either during early voting or on election day. so multiple ways to do it. if a voter find himself in a

pinch or needs assistance in returning their ballot, they're empowered to divide for themselves who to turn it over to. but whoever is assisting them in returning the ballot also has to sign the envelope. that's what's lost with the fake drop box. >> no accountability. you don't have a chain of custody. >> don't have a chain of custody and we don't have the requirements or regulations for these fake drop boxes as you do for the official drop boxes. the security and integrity of the box itself. you know, somebody who is being misled turns their ballot. they don't know who is collecting it. they don't know how quickly it may return to the county or if it gets returned to the county. we have a ton of requirements on official drop boxes. that's where we should be driving voters to. >> are you just busting their chops because it is the republicans? >> no. this is wrong no matter who is doing it. and it's not just the security of the ballot that's in question here.

it is, you know, the transparency, voter confidence itself. so one of the messages we have been reiterating today, anybody who believes they might have been misled because as your picture showed several of these fake drop boxes were labeled as official. if you turned your ballot into one of these, go to sign up. not just to confirm the status of your ballot but to get confirmation when it is received and when it is counted. >> mr. secretary of state, thank you very much. we are unusually hawkish when it comes to the process this year because there is so much riding on the integrity of it. we expect a big turn-out and thank you for taking the opportunity to explain this situation. >> hey, voters deserve no less. thank you, chris. >> be well. god bless. stay healthy. so one more reason

bless. one more reason. there is no relief. there is no sign that any time soon everything will seem to suck less. there is nothing that can just cut through all the nasty, all the division. or maybe there is. have you seen the viral sensation? have you seen this cat with the cranberry juice that just blew up tiktok? why have tens of millions decided to watch this? why did the song he was using relaunch fleetwood mac? why is it that ocean spray wound up hooking up this guy with his luxurious moves on the long board for his own video? we've got him. he's with us next. i now earn even more cash back?

joy? >> i think it's mainly because everybody just needs to break from something different than the chaos going on in the world right now. you know, there is just too much of it. this just gave them a quick time to relax and just look at something different and smile and go out and do something as well. because a lot of people are doing a parody of it. it's awesome >> i love that you're just like jump in there and start singing all of a sudden. i think, look. it's a hundred different things. all beautiful. no reason to get scientific about it. to me one of the things that grabbed me once i saw the video is as you and i both know, as fans of fleetwood mac, that is one of the harshest, bitterest breakup songs ever.

it. but yeah. i always have my long board because you might need it to take off. i always have a long board with me or a skate board. something. a different set of wheels. >> so the success has been crazy. i like that. a little dog action. what does he have in his mouth? just relax. life is about chilling out. even your dog to get your chill on. >> right. >> so ocean spray finds out about it. they send you a truck because you had the car problem. you are selling merch now based on it and you're just inspiring people to be cool and feel good no matter what comes their way is that the message? >> yeah. like i said, i want everyone to just realize how life is hard but you just take a simple minute out of your life and reflect on
