wow, i hear you. so i'm bringing back my juicy 100% all-white meat spicy chicken strips combo for only $5.99!

is it the juicy 100% all-white meat? or because you can spice them up or cool them down? or because a little birdie told me you wanted them back really bad... get my spicy chicken strips combo for only $5.99. ine. back to our top story, the president's coronavirus diagnosis. joining me now, dr. patel with more insight into the president's diagnosis and care. as always, thank you for being here. so many questions. beginning with this. what struck me, the white house says the president will spend a few days at the hospital. he will be working. we saw him walk to marine one on his own accord. why go to the hospital at all if he seems to be functioning okay?

>> we would probably have that answer if there was more transparency coming out of white house right now. if the white house physicians or anyone close to the president explaining how he was doing. if we go off the time line, which the white house hand provided, what reporters have gotten, the president developed symptoms today. we know about symptoms can absolutely get worse. on average the time until the really bad symptoms is after a week after they start. so is it an abundance of caution? one. his vital sign was concerning? was he short of breath? we dome know right now. that's really important information for the american people. >> and transparency is something i don't know if we'll get. we did hear abundance of caution along with two other words to describe his case, very moderate. what does that even mean? >> in the last 18 hours or so, we've gone from asymptomatic,

feeling great, to fatigued to mild symptoms to moderate symptoms. that is in a short amount of time which makes people wonder, were we being held back on information? is there something about the president's course, what were his exact symptoms? a fever, cough, fatigue, those are what we call generally mild symptoms. we don't usually see patients getting hospitalized until they have shortness of breath or they think they might need more advanced imaging or respiratory support. they have a pretty top notch medical support at the white house. so we don't know. we saw the president walking. we saw him wearing a mask and we did see him talk to reporters and put on a quick little show like he likes to do. so it is all speculation right now. >> we saw some of his staffers being socially distanced, walking behind him.

with the symptoms you mentioned, low grade fever, chills, cough, those are symptoms abc sources have uncovered. is that a good sign? is it not more serious at this point? you said it could still develop. we still have time here. >> it's hard to tell. one thing that everyone knows, the president is in a high risk category. because of his age and his bmi. his clinical obesity. he could deteriorate quickly compared to what we've seen over the last seven months. as far as his symptoms, i think people need to realize that we're several days out. so it is hard to know what direction he'll go in. he was walking comfortably to marine one doesn't really tell us. he was started pretty quickly on a

i can't say enough how important transparency is. this sends a really big message to the american people to take it seriously and it can affect anyone. even the most tested person in the united states. >> indeed. many directions this can go as we wait and see how it unfolds. always a pleasure having you on. thank you. >> thank you. >> we're going to turn our attention to the weather and the smoke. the fires continue to cause smoky, hazy skies all around the bay area. and a spare the air alert has been extended through tuesday now. so far, that's 41 days this year. the most ever. let's check in with abc7 news sandhya patel. it seems a little better. still not very good at all. >> it's not good at all. we're seeing some signs of change. just look at this view as we look at san francisco. a little behind of blue showing

be the largest in history. >> president trump told people to go to the polls and observe. that's unusual. actual election observers are not. joining us, the election attorney to talk about this. who are election observers? what is their role? >> yeah. so any of us in a way can be election observers informally when we go to the polling place. we have a right to see what's happening at the polling place. but there is a whole net work of organized poll observers out there. so civil rights organizations do poll observing. sometime the department of justice goes out there. and the purpose is to make sure all voters eligible to vote have the opportunity to do so. that there are not any by aiers

in the way stopping them from exercising their right to vote. >> it sounds like they need to be sanctioned. h >> in california we don't have a formal process to sanction poll observers. best practice is to be trained. you're there for a reason so you know what to look for to make sure we make the voting process go smoothly. there are clear restrictions on people prohibited from taking steps that would interfere with the voting process. so if you are other at the polls pretending to be a poll observer but without really a mission, and you're watching, that's okay. as long as you're not interfering in process and not deterring any voters. >> so they can second their own

watchers. so what are you doing this year that is different from past years? >> so we send out hundreds of volunteers around northern california to check for come appliance with important civil rights laws. this year it's a little different because of covid. we're trying to make sure our volunteers can observe the polls but also be inside polling places for as short a time as possible so they don't get in the way for the flow of voters through voting places. there will be some limitations on the number of people in the voting place at any given moment, to protect public health. we want to make sure volunteers are not interfering with that at all. we doable and they will to be there checking. >> so explain what is the code of conduct for an observer. i asked this for people who are going to the polls and how can

they tell the difference between, for example, voter intimidation, if they were to see that, versus, you know, your conduct. >> sure. so observers are supposed to check in first with the staff at the voting place to say, hi, i'm here. i'm observing. here the things we're looking for, to be really collaborative with the staff so they get what they need without holding tim process at all. in this cycle, we're going to have to maybe a little by to make sure we're not overcrowding the polling place. and then other key things are that observers comdo electioneering. you cannot wear a political sign, a hat or anything within 100 feet of a polling location. you also can't challenge voters' qualifications or their ability

to be there cast go their ballot. those are prohibited by law. a trained observer knows not to do those things and be coopive in checking to see what's happening and making sure they're not getting in the way of people's ability to vote. >> so voters should know their rights. >> your work is always challenging. this year with some complexities. and still to come, signs of hope from the ruins of a very special say yes... to the best bargains ever at ross! yes! oh, yeah! yep. yesss! savings on savings on savings? that's yes for less. at ross.

>> it's a pleasure to be here. thank you. >> first and foremost, i have to ask how you both are doing. i can't imagine the deja vu here. how have you been affected by the glass fire? reason weeks? >> it's about two minutes from our vineyards. all of our properties at the moment. i should say the evacuation zone. we're extremely close. we've been covered in smoke. it is the worst i've seenseensen >> injure crop was destroyed in 2017 but you've been able to recover through a little ingenuity. and i want to hear what you're doing. this is the ultimate pivot. >> yeah. well, i have to say, it was out of necessity. also a little bit of luck. a chance encounter. i have exhausted everything that i could think of in terms of

fixing the wine, removing it, ultimately, any money through insurance, and when i sort of thought i hit rock bottom, i actually traveled to kentucky. and i was at an industry event for taste makers in the industry. both spirits and wine. and i met maryanne. very fortuitously. it was like an angel entered my life. i made a joke. i said well, i love scotch and i love grapes, i love wine. there must be something we can do with those two flavor profiles that would be interesting. and she can tell you what she thought about my question. i think it sparked an interest coming out of such devastation. >> please do elaborate.

i think a lot of times, alcoholic beverages, they inject with artificial smoke. tell me about the brandy, the product itself. >> absolutely. the first thing that fascinated me when she approached me as being part of the project was to understand what the varietal of grape would come out with. i'm a bourbon master distiller. i had no experience making brandy before she approached me. it is an exciting part of the partnership. i don't have a traditional view. it may see this as unfit to make a great brandy. however, i think it is such a fine product already. they didn't just say should we trash it or not. they went to the end level to try the save this 2017 crop.

so it is a beautiful wine. a lot of distilled projects want to bring out that smoky characteristic. the grapes already have that infusion and i can enhance that and further with maturation. so i'm really excited about the opportunity here. >> this is so cool. it is like sustainability thing. i can't help but think about pork belly was a throwaway cut of meat and now it is in star restaurants. people are clamoring for it. give us an idea of when this will be ready. i know there is an aging process. >> absolutely. we've got the unaged brandy. we've still got quite a bit of the wine stock to

we're really taking our time to make sure it is a great reat ret it is probably too good to be made into brandy but we're doing it anyway. >> so exciting. good to see both of you. thank you both for joining us. hopefully when this brandy is ready, you'll provide us with a samp and we'll get an update. >> absolutely. we would love that. >> i don't drink but i love that thinking outside the box. thinking of smoke, we still have smoky air out there so let's check in for the very latest as we head into the weekend. sandhya? >> yeah. we are still being impacted by the smoke around the bay area from the august complex fire. we have a red flag warning. gusty winds, low humidity means any fires that do develop.
