and future of amtrak. i'd like to really focus in on amtrak's response to covid-19 specifically. my first questions are to ms. griffin. ms. griffin, in your written testimony, you provide a concerning account of your experience in july when you were in contact with a covid-19 positive colleague. you took steps to notify your supervisors. to initiate protocols that would remove you from further service to avoid further spreading the virus. however, you were not immediately removed from service. and were only removed after further intervention from supervisors. most concerning to me is that you were told by amtrak to return to service after only ten days and were never tested for covid before returning to work. while you did not display any symptoms, we know that asymptomatic individuals spread the virus just as much, in fact, the study that has just recently been published in last month's journal of american medical association's internal medicine, found asymptomatic and presymptomatic individuals carried a

there's amtrak joe as he's known, hopping on the amtrak. thanks so much.ring you any more live comments as we see them and poppy and i will be right back. our nation has never had a more dangerous and corrupt president than trump. he's harming our basic values, giving rise to hate, and he's selling out america to big corporations. i'm working to protect immigrants, women, communities of color, and lgbtq people. and i'm making corporations like pg&e and insurance companies play by our rules. we need experienced leadership to wipe away trump's stain on america for good. >>> this morning as you just saw vice president joe biden is heading out on a train tour courting voters in the key states of ohio and pennsylvania this after you might have heard about it, a heated debate with president trump last night. >> former ohio republican governor john kasich once shared the debate stage with the president so you kind of know what it was like. i don't know if you even expected last night to evolve the way it did, but we're glad you're here. good morning to you. what

he's been out but he's getting out a bit more these days. >> well, and pac amtrak joe, ri?s at the heart of his experience in writing amtrak home to his family in delaware and all of that stuff and also biden has got an old tiny pitch. basically he's running the kind of candidacy that we have not seen in the modern era were basically he is standing for election, not running for office. as you sign the debate last night, he wants to say as little as possible, he wants to not divide, he wants to be a neutral tone, sort of a beige to donald trump's bright red in hopes he can be a consensus candidate. >> martha: there's almost an an idea that is running to be sort of a breather, to just sort of take a pause, right? which in some ways it reminds me a little bit of the jimmy carter candidacy because it was post-watergate, there had been a lot of chaos, the country was very upset and distraught over all of that and they did elect jimmy carter, who was presenting the cardigan sweater, like we're just going to exhale for a while. i just wonder if that worked in 2020 because our poli

if amtrak was ever to come through amarillo, this is where it would be. as we come back, one of the cool features of our depot is we still have the original ticket counters. when you look at our ticket counters here, this is where you would buy a ticket. we still have the sound system that was original to the railroad. it is still here. and some of the artifacts that were unique to amarillo we still have. conductors jackets, conductors caps. we still have the telegraph. all of that equipment. we do not store it inside the depot. we store it in a safe place. a lot of the historical elements of our depot are still in place, still here in amarillo. i would like for you to come in behind and take a look at the ticket counters. these are original to the depot, too. one of the unique things, anybody who has done retail can identify with what we are fixing to look at. when was the last time you saw change drawers you actually had the wood hollowed out where you could slide your change in and out, all the denominations and the dollar bills? all of that is origina

as a result, when joe biden gets on an amtrak in the coming days and tours parts of ohio and one studentwestern trying toia, he is make inroads not with the far-left and the base, but interim country. i said to conor lamb, who is in the inner orbit of joe biden, i said you flipped the trump district in 2018. what did you do that hillary clinton didn't do? he said he talked about pensions and the economy. at this point, with all of the show and tell and the theatrics, the bad theater of the presidential debate, it is going to come down to those messages. do we see it in the polls? is it too soon to see it in the polls? largely mademinds up? --are people's minds made up? kevin: i spoke with mark meadows, the president's chief of staff, about the strategy for the president and where they feel they are going. they are going to double down on the base. last night's debate was so incredibly toxic, you have to wonder whether or not people who are undecided, or people who sometimes don't vote, if they are going to be motivated. that thing was so brutal. you start to question whether or not there

this is the busiest day he has spent on the campaign trail since the primaries and doing it on an amtrak train. biden said this is his favorite mode of the transportation. wrapped up two stops in ohio and going to pennsylvania for five more stops. at the final stop he will hold a drive in movie theatre event like when he accepted his nomination at the convention. >> harris: thank you. i want to bring in ari fleischer former white house press sect under bush. welcome to the program today. a lot about the tone of the last night and when people were listening for. your take? >> i thought it was a mess. i don't think democracy is are served when you have two candidates doing nothing but interrupting each other. the way a debate works so viewers get something out of it. you hear one person speak and then another person speak in a rebuttal. what the whole thing is marked with interruptions you don't benefit from it. >> harris: do you think this was partly strategy by president trump? chris wallace said, no, sir, you are doing most of the interrupting. i wonder, he said he would go on the attac

seven stops; two in ohio, five in pennsylvania along his amtrak train tour.him along throughout this. but he did have two key points that he wanted to make before he got on the train to voters here in ohio. he wanted to drill down on trump's record over manufacturing in ohio, raising the point that two different car companies closed up factories here in lordstown, ohio, and saying that trump failed to deliver on that. but he also wanted to talk about president trump's taxes a little bit more after he released his own tax returns yesterday. >> he doesn't pay his fair share in taxes. he says he -- that makes him smart. what does that do? what does that make you, make me and millions of other hard working american, decent people who pay our taxes? are we the suckers? >> reporter: and, stuart, the point that trump made on stage last night to those similar attacks was that he was just taking advantage of a tax code that was written while biden served in the white house with obama for eight years. stuart? stuart: taking quite a long trip today by train. hillary, th

he has a storied history with amtrak in terms of traveling from delaware to washington, d.c. during his time in the senate. it is all about the working class coalition he is trying to win back. he is outperforming hillary clinton amongst african-americans. he is outperforming hillary clinton amongst white college educated women. ands underperforming her, president trump is outperforming his 2016 levels, amongst white working-class men. that is why the biden campaign is feeling emboldened to make inroads to constituencies that traditionally, based on last cycle, democrats have struggled with. david: we look forward to hearing your reporting throughout the day and the night. that is kevin cirilli, chief washington correspondent. all week we are looking at ohio as part of our swing state series leading up to the election. it is no coincidence the first debate tonight is taking place important ohiow has been in many elections. that is something kyle contact explained to us. kyle: for a long time no state better reflected the national voting than ohio did. ohio typically voted a l

[train horn] that is what, folks, look, you got big corporation jump in front of the line to get recovery of the economy fast, while small businesses are struggling to stay open. in the end his measure of economic health is the stock market. reporter: the train's tour starts here in cleveland, ohio, and ends in john town, pennsylvania with a drive-in event with the public. similar to what we saw at the convention when biden accepted his nomination. today's stops in ohio are counties with a lot of manufacturing workers where they live. almost 100,000 of them in those counties work in manufacturing. so he took time today to attack trump on part of his recor

and quickly we're here in cleveland by the amtrak train station. we'll keep following joe biden as he launches on a train tour across ohio and western pennsylvania. >> jessica dean, thank you. a fact check of the president there. in fact the fbi's data and this has been said in sworn testimony by the fbi director shows that the threat from white supremacists groups outpaces any other group. the ramifications of the president's refusal to condemn white supremacy are being felt. let's go to cnn's sara sydner. we have to underline this one, because it is notable but also not the first time that the president has done this. it's not so much a dog whistle as a bullhorn. >> reporter: that's right. in some ways the president egged them on and egged on militia groups and far right groups when asked to condemn the violence that they may bring to the streets. he did not do that. and let's not forget what you just mentioned just five or six days ago you had the acting department of homeland security, chad wolf, saying that white supremacists are the most pers

one of the things he started off the confirmation hearing by noting when he was on his work on the amtrak from wilmington, as he so often did at the time, the confirmation hearing was, i think he said, sort of buried somewhere in "the new york times" on page 7 or page 8 because it was such a nonstory. really, she had been regarded as a moderate. the head line in the "los angeles times" when she was nominated called her a moderate judge. which is in conservative groups with how things turned out that she was go to be too moderate as a supreme court justice. >> well, as you pointed out, when president clinton puts her name forth, he's proud of the fact that she's, quote/unquote, a centrist. and no one can regard her as a liberal. and then she distinguishes herself as one of the more progressive members. as you've also written, best known for dissents, rather than majority opinions. explain. >> that's right, justice ginsburg for most of her career. the way the supreme court works, the justices after an oral argument get together in a conference, just the nine of them, and they vote on how th

necessarily the politically easiest route and when i look at like his relationship with folks who work for amtrak other folks you see the strength of friendship. that strength of character is important to me. >> i decided to vote for president trump for many reasons. as a christian and a woman of faith, i cannot support a party that would let a baby be nine months. i'm a premature baby at six months. i'm a human. i look at the science behind that and abortion. i just see that trump is going to help me in my future with lower taxes, less government, more freedom, children going to be protected, school of choice. border security. stronger military. and, you know, pro america. god bless our country. >> i'm voting for biden. i'm voting for biden because we need to make sure that everybody in this country has access to affordable health care. it makes no sense to be in one of the richest countries in the world but to have huge populations of pooh 'em that can't get treatment for who would be considered basic things. i'm also voting for biden because we need to address the crisis at the border. kids ne
