i put the -- i'm working like my ass off at christmastime. who gives a [ bleep ] about christmas stuff and decor ration? but i need to do it, right? >> perhaps both trumps should heed the words of their own message last year. together we must respect traits that exemplify the teachings of christ. chris? >> little parenting pro tip for you there, coop. don't give wyatt that instruction about christmas, that, you know, let the first lady speak for herself. i'd go another way with him about the significance of christmas, just as a parent. what are you teaching about christmas? tell him it's something that matters, something to look forward to and it's going to be safe. thank you very much for the questions and for laying it out there for people. i am chris cuomo and welcome to "prime time." absolutely tonight this is a

call to action. it is time to get after it. covid is making its biggest move against us since we started fighting it. we need more and better from the federal government, period. experts across the spectrum and globe say this is a pivotal moment. now, with all this, where is our president's head? here. >> people are tired of covid. i have the biggest rallies i've ever had and we have covid. people are saying whatever. just leave us alone. they're tired of it. people are tired of hearing fauci and all these idiots, these people. these people that have gotten it wrong. fauci is a nice guy. he's been here for 500 years. he called every one of them wrong, and he's like this wonderful guy, a wonderful sage, telling us how, he said do not wear face masks.

that's a number of months ago. he said, do not close it up to china. every time he goes on television, there is always a bomb. but there is a bigger bomb if you fire him. but fauci is a disaster. i mean, this guy is -- if i listened to him, we'd have 500,000 deaths. >> look, most of that is a bunch of poppycock. fauci was wrong about masks early on. so you know what he did? he changed his guidance when he figured that out. mr. president said that covid would magically disappear. mr. president told you the virus affects no one, that it was a hoax, not to worry. then he got sick, had to be taken in a helicopter over to the hospital for experimental treatments. he made the white house a cluster. he did nothing for his friends who got pick while he got himself experimental treatments.

and now that we need the president to change course, he's insistent on doubling down on dumb. literally he wants to drive us all off a cliff, hoping that those who survive what is sure to be a fiery crash will be enough for him to win the election. by this afternoon, instead of saying that he will do more or better for us, he has been insistent, more than ever, on being his worst. people are starving in this country. they are waiting online for food. that is our reality. the best deal maker in history has gotten them nothing. he blames the speaker of the house? what about the senate? what about your power, what, your ability to negotiate? you said we're negotiating. where is it getting these

people? they're starving, mr. president. we need tests. the more we count, the more we find trouble. you said you'd get more. where are they? states need help. they need guidance. they're going to you. where is it? the help that can be offered is being frozen by him. people are afraid to do things they could because he doesn't want them to. why? you have to ask yourself that now. why isn't he attacking this virus the way he did people who want to enter the country illegally. his best plan in the face of the pandemic moving by any metric is to attack the man that you trust most at the federal level to fight back. >> you know biden wants to lock it down. he wants to listen to dr. fauci. he wants to listen to dr. fauci. and don't forget dr. fauci, what he said is, no, no, don't close

up to china. i said, i'm sorry, doctor. you're a wonderful man. i'm closing it. i saved thousands of lives. he admitted that two months later, two months later. and dr. fauci said don't put on masks. you see the thing. and now he says put on masks and they say, you know, he's a wonderful guy. and he is a wonderful guy. i like him. he just happens to have a very bad arm. he has a bad arm. but he's a good guy. he is a good guy. a lot of our people don't like him. i like him. you have to understand him. he's a promoter. >> project much? he's a promoter? let's be fair. you're both promoters. what does mr. president promote? anger, division, ignorance, even toward a man that he needs. fauci is a promoter, too. what does he promote? well, when asked about the venom that the president sends his way

because with all the he's a nice guy, the guy gets death threats and threats against his family on a regular basis. here is how he handles it. >> once an avid runner, at 79, dr. fauci now power walks, flanked by federal agents. what's that all about? >> that's sad. the very fact that a public health message to save lives triggers such venom and animosity to me that it results in real and credible threats to my life and my safety. but it bothers me less than the hassling of my wife and my children. >> they have been threatened? >> yeah. i mean, like, give me a break. >> that's from "60 minutes." so i called tony fauci today. i call him on a regular basis. he went right into, as soon as he knew it was me, into the progress that's being made with the vaccine and the need to do something about the frightening numbers that are coming around in the country, that it's

happening too fast, that we weren't as good as we needed to be over the summer and that's why we're seeing what we're seeing, because it didn't make sense to me. so i bring up the president's attacks to tony fauci. his response? he never even paused. i'll leave the politics to you guys, he said. just waived it away. and then he says, just please don't stop telling people how to help themselves. remind we have to be there for one another. i said, you got nothing else to say about what's going on than that? and he laughed and he said, yeah, buy a new suit. no. i'm not going to buy another new suit. but it tells you what you need to know about tony fauci. thank god he can keep a clear head and stay straight on what he needs to do for us while captain covid spreads toxic talk. listen to the difference between

what's on fauci's mind and what's on the man who was elected to protect us against something like exactly the thing he's ignoring right now. here is what he wanted you to know. >> he'll listen to the scientists. if i listen totally to the scientists, we would right now have a country that would be in a massive depression instead of we're like a rocket ship. take a look at the numbers. >> he's lying to you. okay? we lost 22 million jobs. he said, yeah, but we got 11 million back. what does that tell you? we're still down 11 million. the unemployment rate hasn't been like this since the depression. and he can't even cut a deal. sure, the democrats can be held to fault, if you want. maybe they should take something, get something done for somebody. i say fair criticism. he thinks listening to scientists is a weakness and that it's a good debate point

for him? let's look at it differently. he'll get this. assessing the pandemic is not like assessing if trump is a great businessman. he's great. why? because he knows how to borrow a lot on his daddy's back. me? i like my great businessmen without a lot of bankruptcies that their father has to bail out with his millions. now, with the pandemic, we don't have to play that kind of subjective game. we have actual numbers. the numbers show he is as wrong about this pandemic as he is about his net worth. hospitalizations are up more than 5% in 42 states. and they're a lagging indicator. remember, you get sick. you try to deal with it. hopefully the case is mild. if isn't, then you have to go to the hospital. we are in crisis. we need the president to focus

on it. and, again, another example, placed with a crisis, this is where his head is. >> he is lucky that we have in our country and they don't appreciate a wonderful human being and the most fair attorney general of the united states because i know people that would have had him locked up five weeks ago. >> had who locked up? barr? for front running a b.s. investigation just to make you happy in the middle of a pandemic? well, ladies and gentlemen, here is the truth. and i ask the attorney general to come out and say otherwise. they looked. was obama spying on trump's campaign even though he wasn't running? no. no proof. because there was no spying. even the president's boy, mr. barr, could not come up with

anything to charge. the best he could do was not put out a report negating their poison premise. remember barr? yes, they were spying. i call it spying. spying. spying. i'm going to look for the spying. no spying. where is it? and now no report, right? god forbid you say you were wrong. listen, the president has to wake up and open his eyes. eight million americans are infected. many are your supporters. some you made sick on purpose. 220,000 are dead in this country, and all you can say is, if it weren't for me, there would be more. well maybe if it weren't for you, there would be less, a lot less. you cannot hide. we will not let you hide. you cannot lie your way out of a pandemic that you will be in charge of whether you win or

lose for weeks at the time that the experts say we need leadership most. this is how you will be remembered, is your last chance to do something other than pretend you need to do nothing. all you have to do is be like fauci. tell the places with case spread, tell your audience wear masks. you got half of it. you said fauci said don't wear masks. now he says wear masks. okay. so you say it, too, because now it is the right thing to do and you know it. instead, what do we get? scott atlas. the guy has never managed a pandemic response. tweeting something so stupid. masks work? no. twitter pulled it down. think about how pathetic that is. so wrong that dr. deborah birx,

remember her, she told friends over the weekend there was relief when it was removed. "the washington post" says dr. birx recently confronted the vice president's office saying she doesn't trust atlas, wants him off the task force, but trump says he's great because he says the b.s. that trump wants him to say. here is where the president is right, and i'll leave you with this. we're all tired of covid. hell yeah we are. seven months. but this president is clearly part of the problem. and, again, we must all implore him, let people help us. let people in the government do what they can. stop attacking the scientists and the science, please. stop telling your people to expose themselves to the virus, please. i'm sure you do want me to get sick again. but all i wanted was for you to get well, and i want others to

suffer because i take no joy in other people's pain and neither should you. so many can still be spared. so many will listen to you if you give them the right advice. at the end of the day, mr. preside president, it is all that will beat this pandemic. your attacks will lose out to the simple intelligence of science and the sweet instruction of being there for each other in america. please listen to these words. i know you don't like to read. i'll read them for you. it is a poem called outwhited by edward march couple. he drew a circle that shut me out. heretic, rebel, a thing to flaut. but love and i have the whit to win. we drew a circle that took him in. mr. president, you can say what you want, but i know that people

in this country can never stop hoping that you will do something with the time you have to make things better for them. and we're going to do that right now by giving people straight information about what is happening and what can be done and why we're dealing with what we're dealing with this president politically. people need to see it for what it is. dr. michael and anthony scaramucci. thank you both, gentlemen, for being patient while i was doing what i do. doctor, the reality of the hospitalizations as a lagging indicator, it is a very frightening metric because there is no subjectivity to it. if you are in the hospital, you've got a problem. unless you are the president who was there getting experimental treatments. what do the numbers tell you? >> in fact, you're right, the hospitalizations are going up and they're going up in many states, not just a few states like we saw this summer. but you can actually also glean

a great deal of information from the testing results. people can say we're testing more. that's why we're finding more. but when you look at the rate of positivity meaning how frequently is someone found to be infected, there if you are testing, the rate of positivity will go down. meaning if i sample twice as much, it will be half the rate of positivity. >> stop. stop. say it again. i didn't get it. people think if you test more they are only getting more positives because you test a lot. so don't test so much. say it again. >> i'm saying if you test more but the percentage of people who are positive continues to go up, that means that the size of the pool of people who are infected is actually also going up. so that if it was just the same number of people in the community you are testing twice as much, then your rate will be half as much. but if you are testing twice as much and the rate goes up four

times, that tells you there is a lot of new transmission in your community. that's what we're seeing right now. even a the head of the hospitalizations are seeing an increasing number of people infected. up to half of these people have no known source of exposure because that's how much virus is floating around in our communities right now. >> so, anthony, what he is saying is being told to the president. he is making a political decision, i'm not going there. i'm going to run with they did the science wrong all the time. i did the right things. why? >> very insecure guy. doesn't like experts. he's a reflective guy. you bring the president something, he'll do the exact opposite because he's so insecure. he's also got this reality distortion field around him and he has sycophants that are feeding that.

he wants people to believe he's captain courageous out there fighting the virus with no mask and having rallies that are super spreader events and that's the right way to go. we know it's the wrong way to go. then he gets super upset that dr. fauci is a leader among men who is telling people what's going on with the science and just trying to protect them. my heart goes out to the fauci family. it is upsetting to see that. you know i'm upset when he goes after you, chris, and governor cuomo. i'm okay when he goes after me because i can handle the guy. but i'm looking at dr. fauci as a scientist, a dispassionate objective leader trying to help the american people. but the good news is this is the worst thing he can possibly do. he's disturbing people, especially white ethnics when he goes after somebody like anthony fauci. he's going to lose the election. look at the parallel lines in the polling. they don't move. they didn't move for reaga.

they didn't move for nixon. and they're not moving now. and joe biden is going to be the next president. and what you said in your monologue is something we have to hope and pray that over the 12 weeks that mr. trump, president trump has the office, he will listen to these experts and try to save american lives. >> it is the best play for him, by the way, to win the election. even now he could do it. >> no chance. >> doctor, you obviously as the director of the center for infectious disease research and policy at the university of minnesota, you know people who are involved with the governmental efforts. i keep being told i'll make these off the record phone calls. why aren't you trying this? we would like to do more. we can't because they are afraid of the political pushback, that the motivator is keep it as it is. keep it as it is. have you heard anything like that? and what kind of danger is it from a policy perspective if we

don't start doing more things and different things to fight this pandemic? >> well, first of all, let me just say that my whole career has been spent just calling balls and strikes. i have served roles in the last five presidential administrations including a science envoy. i served two democratic dp governors, and no one could tell my partisan politics. i'm a private in the public health army. when i say i have never seen the federal government in such dysfunction, that is just a balls and strikes call. the cdc has all but been eliminated as a critical force in the public health response. fda has had its challenges. i give the commissioner great credit. i think he's really stood up the issue around vaccines. but generally speaking, we're not counting on our federal partners for leadership anymore. it's coming from the 50 states which in itself is a problem

because some states are doing it quite well. others are doing it poorly and we don't have a unified national response. >> ten key battleground states, none of which the president is leading in right now, cases are going in the wrong direction. you don't think the people there that are republicans as they start having this touch their families it is not going to affect their vote? i don't care if he says he wants me to get sick again. that tells me everything you need to know about him. i'd gladly get sick again in a second if it would make a difference for anybody else. the only upside to getting sick is maybe you could help people to know they should be worried about it. but he is convinced if he attacks enough people that oppose him it will work. why? >> the roy cohen strategy goes back 50 years. if you hit me, i'll hit you ten times harder. it will scare people. and that has worked for him. he had 52 republican senators vote to acquit him, and he was a

full-on criminal. just look at the evidence of the case. i mean, he basically was bribing a ukrainian president. but he uses those tactics, those roy cohen intimidation tactics. he spits out all that hate and bullying, and it has worked for him, chris. but the weird thing about mother nature, it can't work in a scientific situation. this is the reason why he's going to lose the election. it's almost like mother nature has come down to settle the score with mr. trump. sorry. you can't yell fake science. the people know and as a result of which he's going to get voted out of the office. >> i wish he could see the opportunity in saying they will do something about this pandemic. >> there is no chance. >> i'm just saying there is so many people that need that message. thank you very much. anthony scaramucci, as always, i appreciate the insight. be well. bless the family.

>> same, chris. >> bless your family, too, doc. the president questioned scientists unless they are saying something he wants in the moment. but cases are ticking up. and they're not supposed to be. not like this. let's get the perspective of somebody who is in the position to fight back and is doing so. new jersey's governor phil murphy. what's the reality in the state? why is it happening? how are his resources and his ability to respond? next. hoa! ♪ ♪ i feel good ♪ i knew that i would, now ♪ i feel good ♪ get a dozen double crunch shrimp for one dollar with any steak entrée. only at applebee's.

everything for the president is extreme. the great people or lock them up. agree with me, like this atlas, dr. atlas or get attacked by me like dr. fauci. shut the country down or completely open it up. extremes are an indicator of a lack of intelligence.

we need measured response that deals with the situation. let's talk to somebody who has that job, to find the balance of keeping the virus in check while allowing society to continue to survive. democratic governor from new jersey phil murphy. good to have you. the climate obviously affects everything. there is an election going on, two weeks away. the president is insistent on attacking anybody who wants to say that this pandemic is a problem and he needs to do something, attacking fauci saying that following the scientists is stupid. what effect does this have on you in terms of this political climate? what do you want people to know about what they're hearing? >> well, it doesn't make our job any easier, chris, i can tell you. it is -- it makes it more complicated and i think it puts lives at risk.

dr. fauci, i have to say, has been there at every step of the way for new jersey, both privately, in public forum and everything in between. and to me he's the role model of that responsible leadership that we need, making decisions based on science, data, facts, presenting the case as tough as it might be and giving us a path forward, a realistic path that includes, frankly, some hopeful elements, whether it's therapeutics or vaccines. you know, we're in the mix again here. we have come a long way, but our numbers are up over the last several weeks and we're battling this, and we need everybody. we need role models for folks to look to and say, you know what, that makes sense to socially distance, wash your hands with soap and water, take yourself out of the field if you don't feel well or you have been exposed. that's the leadership we need right now.

>> do you think the president knows what you are dealing with, knows how desperate the situation is? >> i mean, i have to believe he does, chris. i have spoken to him on a number of occasions. we met face to face. you would have to be under a rock right now not to look at the numbers. and by the way, as i say, new jersey has come a long way. our numbers are up. but our prays are with those states at the edge of their bed capacity, as we were in the spring, as you remember. this is not just a northeast thing. it is not a blue state thing. it is an american challenge at the moment, and it's real. and i speak to family survivors of folk who is have been taken by this virus literally all the time. i spoke to three families today, in fact. these are lives -- lived lives lost, real suffering, real loss. i would hope to god he does. >> you know, you have said plenty of times, you know, the real opponent for this president

is not joe biden. i have never taken it as you disrespecting biden but that he's running against covid-19. i mean, how -- you know, imagine if you were to run in your re-election by saying, yeah, it was no big deal. we really didn't need to do anything. masks, if you like them, you like them. if you don't, you don't. think about how devastating that would be for you in an election. why do you think this president is making that play? >> it would be devastating. by the way, there would be a minority in our state, and there certainly is a block in the country that would be happy with that point of view. but the vast majority of new jersey and i believe americans get this and understand it. i can't get inside the president's head. i think if you are anyone who is sort of on the fence right now, i think you are looking for competent, professional, responsible leadership up against a clear pandemic and a

clear economic meltdown as a result of it. it is not the play book i would be running. >> the election, how is it going for you with early mail-in? have you had any problems? the president is suggesting that mail-in voting is going to be rife with fraud. what is your reaction to that based on what you are seeing? >> yeah. we don't see it. i mean, we had a local election in may in patterson which the president has cited. i think it shows the system works. local guys there tried to jam up the system and they got caught. so far so good in the general. we have over 1.75 million votes received at our county clerks. that's 45%, chris, of the entire vote in 2016, which was 3.9 million. folks have the choice in new jersey to mail in, drop in a secure box, hand to a clerk or a poll worker on election day or vote in person. so far so good.

in fact, that understates the case. so far so really good. >> in terms of so far so good, what we have in front of us is bad. as you know, the experts are saying this is a critical period. why? we're trying to get people back in schools. we're trying to get people back indoors. these were the easier months in the summer. the virus doesn't take the summer off, but people are going back inside. people are tired of it. the president is right. you know that. >> absolutely. >> how scared are you that this is going to go the wrong way? listen, i'm not sure i'd use the words scared, but concerned. i do think, chris, we're far better prepared now than we were eight months ago. and you know this, but it is worth repeating the science and the medical understanding is dramatically different and wetter. our capacity, whether it's bad ppe, ventilators, health care workers is meaningfully better. the virus feels like it's

infecting a younger demographic, which we don't -- we don't wish this on anybody, but it's not like that awful early days when the seniors and folks with comorbidities got crushed. so i'm concerned. the experts i speak to are less concerned, and our evidence backs this up so far. less concern in the public square, as they say. less concern with the stuff we can regulate and ensure compliance than we are with people letting their hair down inside their own homes or with holidays coming up. that fatigue we think is showing in that reality, and we just got to ask folks to hang in there and fight through this. >> right. that's the right message. left, right, that's just reasonable. governor phil murphy. thank you. god bless. let us know how to help. >> thank you, chris, for having

me. >> we'll be right back. we have news on the other side. that haunt me the most. y [ squawks ] 'cause you're not like everybody else. that's why liberty mutual customizes your car insurance, so you only pay for what you need. what? oh, i said... uh, this is my floor. nooo! only pay for what you need. ♪ liberty. liberty. liberty. liberty. ♪

all right. breaking news tonight impacting a critical state in the presidential race. the united states supreme court rejects republican efforts to require that all mail-in ballots be received by election day and counted that night in pennsylvania. now votes will be counted if they are received within three days of election day. four of the eight justices dissented. think about this. the court was split 4-4, okay? chief justice roberts sided with the court's three liberals. trump and republicans already said this is why they are rushing to get judge amy coney barrett confirmed. >> so you're going to need nine justices up there. i think it's going to be very

important. >> now, we may have litigation about who won the election, but the court will decide. and if the republicans lose, we will accept that result. but we need a full court. >> we need a full court on election day given the very high likelihood that we're going to see litigation that goes to the court. >> when they say full court, they mean stacked court, right? there are two big parts of this conversation. you've got law and politics. let's bring in ben ginsberg and harry. counselor, if judge barrett had been on that panel, she does not have cases on point, but given her assumed predisposition, you would have people in pennsylvania not getting their votes counted if they came in postmarked after election day. >> yeah, that's probably right. although, these cases are all

over the map, chris. this was a 4-4 split, so it goes back to a holding what the pennsylvania supreme court did. michigan, wisconsin and north carolina all have cases that go a different way at the appellate level. they're likely to be heard before justice barrett is sworn in. and, so, it isn't clear that these are outright victories for the democrats. >> but shouldn't this be partisan? i mean, the idea of limiting when votes can be counted, who does that help? >> well, it's going to help different people in different states is the reality of it. and, look, state legislatures are empowered to make laws for the casting and counting of ballots, the time, place and manner of their elections. what you do have is different states making different policy judgments about that. >> right. obviously it is up to the states. i'm just saying i don't know how counting things sooner helps

people exercise the franchise. that's all i'm saying. but there is obviously law here and then politics. and the politics, the suspicious would be, harry, the reason they want to limit how many can be counted is because this early voting isn't exactly a boon to the president's hopes. what do we see? >> i think your thesis is born out in the numbers. take a look at the pennsylvania poll numbers by those who say they will vote absentee versus on election day. look at this margin for joe biden. it's clearly 75% versus those voting on election day, trump is leading in that poll by 21 points. so there is this huge spread in pennsylvania, larger than the national average, though we do see it nationally as well. where democrats, specifically joe wibiden supporters will vot absent absentee. >> let me throw a piece of sound from the president about how he

says he's doing in the polls, harry. i want your take on how what he says -- oh, we don't have it? okay. so he says we're winning in arizona, in florida by three, maybe even four. if you add election day, if you had the election today, we win north carolina. we win pennsylvania. it was a sleeper last time. we win. and ohio, too. so arizona, florida, north carolina if it happened today and pennsylvania. harry, do you agree with that? >> no, i don't agree with that. in fact, i'll tell you this much. joe biden has a significant lead in pennsylvania, michigan, wiscons wisconsin. he is leading by five points. if you look at this electoral map, joe biden has a significant lead. he has over 270 electoral votes in states. he has over 270 electoral votes in states where he has a lead of five points in september and october. even if there was a polling

missed he would still be the winner today if the election were held today. >> we lost counselor ginsberg, but a point i think he will validate is this. the thing that makes no sense about this political strategy, you know, legally it is a state's call what you want your rules to be. you have this odd con flags here that we saw in texas. the governor wants less boxes because it will help them keep track better. oh, good. ginsburg is back. in texas, federal court says, yeah, yeah. what does that tell us about how litigation is going to go here? >> well, it tells you that as, as you said before, all partisan. there is also a long-term problem the republican party has

getting case after case not facilitating people's ability to vote. >> right. so you're going to see a lot of elected officials doing things that they think is helping them in the short term will actually cause problems in the long-term. >> a point that you would have made, harry, is the weird thing about this as a political strategy is that republicans traditionally vote by mail more than democrats. so the president has been sending a chilling message to his own people. he's tried to reverse in florida and north carolina. but he's been saying don't do it for many weeks. ben, thank you for fighting through the it problems. harry there is no problem for you in any realm of life. nice haircut. >> thank you. >> i know it's tough. i know it matters, but it's tough. two teens, two americans. wait until you see why whatever

we're messing up it's not over yet. in these faces i see us getting to better places. americans 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.

uber and lyft are like every big guy i've ever brought down. prop 22 doesn't "help" their drivers-- it denies them benefits. 22 doesn't help women. it actually weakens sexual harassment laws, which are meant to protect them. uber and lyft aren't even required to investigate sexual harassment claims. i agree with the la times: no on 22. uber and lyft want all the power. so, show them the real power is you. vote no on prop 22. 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. these days it feels like we all suffer. nobody can get it right. president doesn't put out the right message. everything is getting worse. wrong. there's hope among us in the

faces of the young. you have anik a a, there she is had. won top prize 25 grand at this year's 3m young scientist challenge. but why? on her own, she decided to research and develop a molecule that may hopefully lead to a potential cure to covid. i'm not kidding.the other one created a mobile medical lab that offers rapid tests and results in 15 minutes. anika and taft, join us on "prime time." god bless you both and thank you, thank your parents for giving you the incentive and the pressure of trying to do something at even at your young ages. anika, i will start with you. 14. genius, how did you come up with the idea of a path towards a

potential cure? >> thank you, chris, for having me. it actually started with the school project. i was researching about the 1918 span i cish flu pandemic and i surprised how many deaths and infections it caused through the world. and i realized with the current vaccines and anti-virals in the markets. so that started by research and i came across potentially identifying anti-virals, after researching more examination of the flu virus in the the methodology that i used i combined my knowledge to find a

potential anti-viral. >> so you were krucrunching numbers? >> yeah, 698 million molecules and selectively narrowed it down. >> the this is amazing, what kind of shot do they say your research has? >> my research is a drop in the ocean of research being done. but at had point, every research, every effort matters to end the pandemic and control the after math. >> what do you want to do with your life? seeing that you are 14, you should decide today? >> i do plan ongoing in to a career related to biology and the medical field, maybe a medical researcher. >> well, let me tell you, it's what you developed, it's that you are trying and it means everything in an environment where people don't want to help themselves. and you, is that a gaming chair you are sitting in there, taft? >> yes, sir, it is.

>> man, my son is going to want one of those. i'm okay with it, because the more he wants to be like you the better. so, you come at it from a different perspective of the practicality, he is only 18 by the way, taft. so high school senior, houston area. he is know emt already in texasment y -- what did you discover? testing and why did you do what you did? >> mr. cuomo, thank you for inviting me had -- during the clinical course, i treated covid patients. i was quarantined when i got back. when i got to the building there were long lines and had to wait two hours to get in and two weeks on get my results back.

while i was self quarantining i thought there has to be a better way. that's when i came up with the idea of a mobile lab. we specify of testing -- >> how do you get the tests back so fast? >> the tests are so quick because of the type of test thes we are using. >> look at anika nodding. i don't know what you people know. why are they good? why are they fast? >> so, they are using, quidel, are anti-gen tests. it's looking at the virus itself, because the virus is what is causing an immune response in the body. >> so i'm going to put information out about how they can get you more trucks. you raised $60,000. and your father matched whatever you raised so now you have them on the hook. i will put information out.

anika, thank you for what you are doing. i want to stay in touch. and you, mr. foley, i have news for you, you may know a lot of things i don't know. i know something you don't. you want to know the secret some. >> sure. >> your s.a.t.s came back. guess what percentage your results were in. >> um -- >> no, 98 percentile in s.a.t. scores in the country. that's right. lucky you are sitting in the high back chair so you don't fall on your heiney, congratulations. you see that flag behind your head, you can go anywhere that you want. congratulations, thank you your parents for putting it in both your heads and hearts to do something with your life. thank you for giving us hope. ani can ka, taft, congratulations and be well. >> thank you. >> we will be right back. and when you get a big deal...
