we begin with a dire prediction by the cdc. this is an average of 1,000 american lives lost each day. with more than 51,000 cases broadband reported daily nationwide, 35 states reporting an up tick in infections, there is no plan to stop this in place from this administration. instead, president trump is holding huge super spreader events while pushing the widely disputed theory of herd immunity. currently only an estimated 10% of americans have antibodies. it's a strategy that leading public health organizations are condemning, including dr. anthony fauci. there would be so many people in the community who you can't shelter, who you can't problem and will have serious consequences. this idea that we have the power to protect the vulnerable is

total nonsense. you'll wind up with many more infections of vulnerable people leading to hospitalizations and deaths. i think we have to look that square in the eye and say it's nonsense. we're also learning that vice presidential nominee kamala harris has canceled her campaign travel through the weekend after one of her staff members tested positive for coronavirus. harris tweeted that she has gone two negative results this week, and continues to not exhibit symptoms. with the fall wave of this pandemic upon us, i want to bring in dr. adrian burrows, a family physician in florida. earlier this year we were seeing hospitals particularly in your state facing maximum capacity as outbreaks were coming through. are they not at more risk than they were at the onset of this pandemic? or do you think things will be better? >> thank you, brianna, for

having me on. i believe we're in worse shape than we were back then, primarily because we are bracing ourselves to the second wave of the coronavirus in this country. if anyone's paying attention, you're seeing what's happening now in europe. so we're going to have to deal with a second wave of coronavirus on top of our normal flu season. you know, every time we hit these cold-weather months, we will become more uss sevenible to thinks viral illnesses. >> florida reported more than 3300 new cases today, more than doubled yesterday's death toll. more than 145 people died in just one day there. governor ron desantis is allows football stadiums to operate at full capacity. what risk is the governor posing here to florida residents with these proposals? >> so, unfortunately in florida our governor has gotten it wrong

repeatedly related to the coronavirus. when we had our shutdown, we are doing things, trying to take the lives of our residents into account, we were cutting down the cases moves forward in a good fashion. all of a sudden he's reopened these things and now asks for 90,000 people in stadiums to be side by side. how do you social distance that way? i think that's completely asinine, first of all. second of all, the governor treats lives of floridians like they're disposable. i think that's not only in the state of florida, but nationwide. >> i want to know what you think about the vaccine timeline as it's shaping up. i think a lot of people are hopeful there will be one soon. dr. fauci signaled that a vaccine may be widely available by april of next year, but the world health organization announced when it comes to healthy young people, they shouldn't expect a vaccine for

themselves until 2022. so are both of these timelines true? is this just about staggering priorities? make sense of this for us. >> yeah. i know a lot of people have anxiety regarding this. so i do thing that timeline where we're talking about probably the early to middle part of 2021 is likely when the vaccine will start to roll out, but it will be given to health care providers, high-risk populations, people with significant diseases, that type of thing. so healthy wining people tend to fall lower down on that risk structure, because they typically tend to do fairly well with the virus. so at the beginning, those high-risk groups will have the priority medically, so it could very well be, you know, young healthy people may not be vaccinated until the following year. all right. i know that will be tough for

some people to hear. dr. burroughs, thank you so much. >> thank you so much. to a remarkable new report from the "new york times." as the white house was minimizing the coronavirus to the american people, officials were delivers stark warnings in private to conservative donors and investors. let's go back to late february in this tweet from the president where they delivered the coronavirus is very much until crowell. stock market is starting to look very good to me, exclamation point. that was the same day that some of his economic advisers privately addressed a group from the conservative hoover institution, and he said it was too early to estimate the pandemic's impact, according to a memo written about the meeting by one of its attendees, obtained by the times. the next day larry kudlow went on cnbc and told the nation this. >> we have contained this. we have contained this, i won't

say airtight, but pretty close to airtight. what we know as of today, this is very tightly contained in the u.s. the human tragedy side, difficult, horrible. the economic side, there is no tragedy in the united states. >> once he was behind closed doors, kudlow had something quite different to say. the memo obtained by the times says that cud loy said it was contained in the u.s. today, but now we just don't know. if you're thinking this all sounds familiar, you're right. we now from audio recording from bob woodward, the staff was following their boss's lead. here is what he told woodward just a few weeks later. >> i wanted to always play it down. i still like playing it down, because i don't want to create a panic. with me now is mark ma mazetti,

one of the reporters behind this piece, also a cnn national security analyst. mark, good to see you. the bottom line is elite investors seem to have gotten a heads-up about how bad things could get, which is certainly money-making information. tell us how they could act on that. >> recall this period of time where there's great uncertainty about the coronavirus in the united states. the economic impact, the health impact, any kind of hard information about covid at that time was critical from a health perspective as markets teetering for investors. during this period of time, the group of the board of overseers had these meetings with the white house as well as other people. after the meetings, one of the members of the board of overs overseers sent a memo for a large head fund, named

appaloosa, run by david tepper, who was already caution, worried about where the virus might go. but this stark memo circulates around the financial world, and from tepper's hedge fund for others, and according to the people we interviewed, some people used it to inform their trading. in other words, made money off of it. it's a glimpse into how this privileged information can quickly be used to gain financial advantage. >> this morning, the treasury secretary, steve mnuchin responded to the report in this way. >> i saw the headline this morning. this is the first i've seen of it. it wouldn't be the first time i've seen a headline out of a "new york times" that exaggerates things or puts them in a wrong perspective. i've had nigh own personal attacks from the "new york times" doing this to me. you know, i can't imagine this

occurred -- by the way, there were plenty of investors who had their own issues of what was going on at the time and were very concerned. rightfully so. >> he's saying it's an exaggeration, the reporting. what is your response to that? >> well, i'm not sure he said he's actually read it or not. >> that's a good point. >> he says he doesn't think -- it's probably not true, but from what i saw i didn't see him challenging the substance of the article. he's right, that a lot of people did have a great number of views about the market at this time, but as we reported, there were several savvy investors who do study this investigation, who saw this memo and thought it was quite significant, because it seemed to be inside government information that was being conveyed to this group, that really gave a sense of the

looming disaster. now, the memo indeed turned out to be quite prescient, even though we say some of it was hyperbolic. there is no argument that people used this argument to short sell in the market. >> mark, great reporting. thank you for joining us. mark mazetti with the "new york times." >> thank you. voters were supposed to be a debate for the second time tonight. instead they'll compete for voters ease attention in dueling town halls. right now president trump is holding a rally in north carolina, which is a state where coronavirus cases are on the rise. cnn's ryan nobles is at that rally for us. are we getting a preview of what he'll say tonight? >> reporter: it certainly seems that way. north carolina an enormously important state for president

trump in this election. he won here in 2016 by only four points. there's a new poll from the "new york times" that shows the trump campaign trailing by four points. to your point about what he's going to talk about tonight at the town hall, you have to imagine the coronavirus will come up, his own infection and his response to it, but also his relationship with dr. anthony fauci. president trump just talked about dr. fauci here in north carolina. listen to what he had to say. >> my friend -- and he's a nice guy, tony, tony fauci. he's a nice guy. he said this is not a threat, this is not a problem, don't worry about it. there was a problem, that's the craziest thing. he said do not wear a mask under any circumstances, don't wear a mask, don't, don't, and then they say wear a mask. he's a nice guy, so i keep him around. he's a democrat, everybody knows that. he's cuomo's friend.

>> reporter: so a couple interesting things to point out in those remarks. first of all, again, he is mocking people who wear masks, also criticizing the guidance and advice that dr. phelpsi has given. they did talk about whether masks were appropriate in march, but since then, has said it's one of the best ways to curb the spread of the virus. he also suggested he'll keep fauci around as if there's been a discussion of removing him, and finally he calls fauci a democrat. it's important to point out that dr. fauci has worked for both republicans and democrats. he describes himself as apolitical. furthermore as the president attacks him in north carolina, he's also concurrently running a campaign ad that features dr. fauci touting his response to the coronavirus, an ad that dr. fauci says takes his words out

context. a peculiar attack for the very least, and at it's interesting that at this stage he would even brophy fauc bring fauci into the conversation. >> he should bring him in, with the task force being a bigger influence. nbc is currently facing a good bit of criticism for scheduling a town hall at the exact same time as biden's previously scheduled event. with me now is cnn's chief media correspondent and host of "reliable sources" brian steltzer. you have more information. tell us about this. >> abc previously had a town hall with trump, nbc had one with biden. now they're doing the opposite.

they're having the other candidates both tonight, but abc's town hall with biden was scheduled almost a week ago, so abc went first, nbc finally was able to confirm this trump town hall. they scheduled it at the exact same time, for reasons that still don't make sense to me. last night they tried to work it out, tried to get absence to move the biden town hall and abc said, no, we assigned this time slot first, we booked if it first, why would we try to help out nbc? this has been a big misstep for nbcs nbc news' boss. here is his statement today, defending the decision to schedule this head-to-head matchup. if we were to move our town hall with trump to a later time slot, we would be violating or

commitment to offer both campaigns access to the same audience and same forum. connede saying we hope voters will watch both, so he's basically saying set the dvr, watch on youtube, you can watch both town has. but there should have been a real debate tonight. since there is no debate, it makes no sense to have these live head to head on competing networks. >> brian, thank you so much for that reporting. brian stelter of "rye liable sources." joe biden's campaign manager is warning this race is closer than you might think. plus former president obama speaking out on a podcast. why he says the conspiracy theories that president trump pushes will be well beyond trump's time in office. introducing a revolution in the world of pain relief:

across the country now voters are going to the poll in moments ago the colorado's secretary of state said polls is up. there are lines like this all over the state of north carolina. some of them showed up before dawn, they want to make sure their vote counts. early in-person voting has been a popular form of voting, but they have also smashed records when it comes to absentee ballots returned. early voting goes through

october 31st. i'm ed lavandera in dallas. early turnout voting is shattering reports. we have never seen numbers this high. in harris county, some 240,000 people have already voted in the first two days of the early voting. one election official says turnout shows no signs of slowing down. early voting under way in georgia. this place in fulton county are seeing improved wait times. the georgia secretary of state says the software vendor has increased the bandwidth of the database as of wednesday to address the slowdowns with the electronic voter check-in systems that had been seen statewide. as of wednesday, more than

377,000 georgians have voted in person early, a 40% increase from 2016. this is records show enthusiasm, but is it for trump or biden? i want to bring in cnn's political writer and analyst harry enten to talk about this. what do you think of this message? someone is saying, look, don't get too comfortable? or is this -- even while they might be quietly confident. >> i can't get inside their head, but there's fear among some democrats, that voters may see a poll, well, biden will get it, so i'm not going to turn

out. there's this usc poll that sort of gets at this point, even though the clear majority of voters right now favor former vice president joe biden. when you ask voters who they think will actually win, the race is very, very narrow. i think there's a lot of people who remember thinking hillary clinton would win in 2016. so they think the race is actually very, very close. >> so the biden campaign has reported a record fund-raising in september. it's a huge haul. how are they going to spend all of that cash here in, you know, two weeks or so? >> there's always ways to spend the cash, but it shows

enthusiasm. they're going to go into states they probably wouldn't have gone into, texas, states like ohio that might be on the periphery, but this puts a lot of pressure on president trump to fight this air war, an air war that former vice president joe biden quite simply put, is winning. former president obama warning that the conspiracy theories will remain pervasive long after president trump leaves office. and california gop refusing to remove their ballot boxes, so what happens if someone put their ballot in one? cell phone repair.

former president barack obama speaking with two former aides, including an endorsement by trump of conspiracy theories. >> it will continue. trump is an accelerant, but he did not create it. when you look at insane conspiracy theories like qanon seeping into the mainstream of the republican party, what that tells you is that there are no

more guardrails in that ecosystem. it's not just progressives versus right-wing issues. this is really a genuine american society issue, is how do we reestablish some baselines of truth that at least the vast majority of people can agree to. joining me now is carl cameron, currently the chief political correspondent for "front page live." great to see you, carl. i wonder if you agree with former president obama that this lives in the bloodstream beyond president trump. >> sure it does. it has been made normal in a lot of parts of america, to believe

the incoming conspiracy theory, whatever it might be. it's worth noting that president obama was the first victim of that when donald trump created the birtherism movement. that kind of thing is real for obama and democrats. it's important to remember that conspiracy theoryism is not new and not unique to trump and what happened to barack obama. in the modern era, all of this stuff really kind of started with the kennedy assassination and the attempt to find out what really happened. americans from coast to coast were inundated. then came nixon. that was a conspiracy crime, and he actually left the office. so this has been going on for a long time. it is not the fault of free speech. it is a fault of vocabulary,

because too often people talk about the media and lump in straight fact-based news. there's a huge difference between facebook and k anonand organizations online versus organizations that work to tell the truth. unfortunately the president has tried to corrupt it by mixing in a lot of garb an from the internet. >> when you think about some of the media that's not fact-based, there's really no accountability. some that have been complete le refuted, like the unmasking, the commission doesn't find fraud, they move on, but here it is in the bloodstream. is that it, repeat, repeat, no

accountability, just move on? >> sure, but you can't just blame trump for things that he says that aren't true, or the supers he cobb concocconcocts. he's had help from the u.s. senate, from the republicans in congress. he's had help from republican governor and republican operatives all over the country. he as been saying forever that obama-gate or the unmasking was going to be the biggest scandal of the century, bigger than anything the country has ever had. it's nobody been dismissed, it's gone. the senators, the house members, the office holders who bought into the conspiracy theories, a false conspiracy, one that didn't ever exist, they have a lot to answer for. the news has a responsibility to talk about the falsehoods that politicians talk about on both sides. the media has become so

bifurcated, such a wild wild west, that it can often shut down facts. that's part of the problem, and american voters need to be discerning. don't just buy into the stuff your family and friends send you to on social media. it might be entertaining, but it isn't educating. >> tonight we have dueling town has, it wi halls. do you think nbc deserving the backlash for scheduling it the same time? >> i don't understand the inside workings of either network. the fact of the matter is the president refused to take part in a bipartisan commission, that said we'll have a town hall

meeting, but it will be virtual because of the coronavirus. that's just good health regulation at this point. trump said absolutely not. so, okay, then one network says, we'll give a town hall meeting with just biden. it seems to me that now they're both at the same time, both networks ought to say they mesh the two toes and make bidened and trump talk to each other across networks. of course that's ridiculous and it's not going to happen, but that's what should have happened, the debate. the one that refused to do it was trump, not biden. >> carl, you've remember a trump skipped a debate, and that didn't go for him. it go his way in the end, but i wonder what you think will happen this time?

>> well, that kind of depends on the questions that come from the town hall. if a well-spoken democrat gets a question for trump, and he doesn't like it, it will be interesting to see what happens. chances are in a well-spoken republican gives biden a question, he'll give him a straight answer. the republican may not like it, but it's not likely to be the kind of thing we have seen from trump over the course of the last four years. this is a really strange turn of events, and it's unfortunate the news operations are sort of caught in the middle of it. we should be having debates. we should very having conversations about the possible instead of trying to break down the norms of of the path. the fact that trump is saying the whole thing will be a mess has never been like that. there's nothing in our history of what he's talking about.

>> carl, thank you so much for joining us. >> thanks, briana. still ahead, alabama's head football coach tests positive for coronavirus, but the team is still set to play this saturday. plus an american tennis players is accused of going into hiding while testing positive, we'll have details of his escape in a private jet next. tonight... i'll be eating chicken tikka masala with garlic naan.

the california republican party is defending its using ballot boxes. one on the left is official, one on the right is not. state officials calling the unauthorized boxes illegal. the california gop is accepting responsibility. yes, indeed they were putting out the boxes, but they say they don't have plans to stop. they're going to remove the word

"official" blatantly disregarding the cease-and-desist off. they have this to say -- the program is a perfect example of what you proudly stated to be permissible just last year. i'm joined by jonathan diaz. the gop in california says it's not going to comply with the cease-and-desist off. how does it play out and what happened to the ballots that go into the unofficial ballot boxes? so there's a fear of what will happen. that's the problem that california election officials are trying to address, by directing the california gop to cease and desist their use of these boxes. there's two sets of california election laws at play here. number one is the ballot drop boxes which in california only election officials are

authorized to establish and maintain. that way they can be sure that ballots deposited in the boxes make their way into election offices and are counted on election day. the other has to do with ballot election. in california a voter is allowed to designate another person to deliver their ballot, but it has to be one specific person. that person has to give their name, their signature and relationship to the voter. and so if the california republican party wanted to have its volunteers or campaign workers collect ballots on behalf of republican voters, they can do that, but it needs to be a person-to-person connection. they can't just set up a drop box the same way an election office can and have voters deposit them without them designating a specific individual to turn in their ballot for them.

>> that seems to obvious. so what is the objective here on the part of the california republican party? >> i don't want to speculate as to their motives, but california is a universal vote by mail state. every california voters gets their ballot in the mail, so it makes sense that the california republican party would want to encourage its voters to turn in their mail ballots, but it's the way they're going about it that's causing problems. they should be encouraging voters to deposit their ballots in the drop boxes that are maintained by california election officials, or they should have, you know, individual volunteers or campaign members reaching out to voters, contacting them on a one-by-one basis to get the proper authorization. i'll note the republican party has taken a very different approach to drop boxes in other states. they are currently engaged in

litigation in ohio, texas, to try to limits the use of official drop boxes. so the disconnect here is pretty stark. jon their, thank up so much for making that clear. jon than diaz, we appreciate it. >> thank you. be sure to watch tonight with don lemon. kamala harris will be his guest. that's at 10:00 p.m. tonight only on cnn. outbreaks soar among football teams. the latest result is alabama's head football coach. my next guest says this was all utterly predictable. sarah: for a while i've had like a, kind of negative self image. there was like this contrast between like the way that i was thinking about my personality

college football is facing a reckoning as coronavirus hits s.e.c. in a big way. alabama head coach nick saban and the school's athletic director among those who tested positive for the virus. the same goes for 21 florida players now forcing the conference to delay the game against rival lsu. before that vanderbilt and missouri canceled because of the coronavirus and quarantining of players. columnist from "usa today," christine, it is great to see you and terrible to talk about what's going on here. you wrote, quote, this is utterly predictable and what's happening is ultimaterly shameful. did arrogance lead to this, in your opinion. >> absolutely. ar began among a lot of football coaches and players. this has been true for decades

because i've covered this sport a long time. there's a sense you can never show weakness. you can never have anything other than this grand, grand confidence. it's a big shouldered sport. we love it. i love college football. i grew up watching it in fledo, university of michigan, but that is certainly right now the problem. the sense that college football can take on covid. we know that just is not the case, that college football is going to have a difficult time handling covid-19. you knew it when they decided to play college football. we see it in a bigger way, brianna. this is the riskiest roll of the dice we've seen in college life, not just sports. 18 to 22 years old being used as props so these colleges can make money and people can be entertain, which is great, but at what cost. now we're starting to see the price in terms of cancellations, postponements of games.

the biggest name in the sport, nick saban, 68-year-old coach at alabama now has said he's covid positive. but he said, thankfully, he is exhibiting no symptoms at this time. >> at this time. certainly he'll be keeping an eye on that and those around him will be as well as the days go on here. do you think the big ten had it right early on, even though they gave in? >> i do. the big ten made the decision back in august mot to play football and pac 12 followed suit. dr. anthony fauci brianna back in un said to have football he thought it would have to be paid in a bubble. there's no bubblizing college campuses and no in nfl northboufootball either. fauci knew what he was talking about. great minds of those wonderful big ten schools made a decision not to play and a month later they caved. it was fomo, as they say the

other schools starting to play. they totally caved. shocked me. full disclosure i'm on the 64-person board of trustees and i had nothing to do with i guess doeses made in this area. now the big ten is getting ready to play next week, as is the pack twelve. i think they would have looked really smart if they were sitting here today still not playing this game. not because we don't love college football, it's just not safe. it's not just the players but the stadium workers, it's the janitors. it's the janitors who go home to their families who will be in those stadiums and those facilities because the big ten presidents as well as other presidents of universities have decided they are going to play football. >> fomo is real, as you say, christine, is real, but the risks are so huge. thank you for coming on. we appreciate it. >> thank you, brianna. >> president trump is making a pit stop in north carolina on his way to the nbc town hall and

he's taking the opportunity to try to drag dr. anthony fauci do politics again, something he repeatedly said he doesn't want to be involved in. an american tennis player fleeing in a private jet before testing positive for a tournament there. we're going to explain why. i give to shriners hospitals for children
