. >> let's bring into our conversation carol lee and dr. professor of infectious diseases at vanderbilt medical center. dr. schaffner, i have to ask you about tony fauci going full " d "godfather" there. the voting public is reaching the same conclusion. it's nothing personal, strictly business. and the business being, we want main streets back open, we want kids back in schools and the only way to do that is to get down from this hideous number of 65,000 new cases that we had yesterday. >> well, i think tony is washing his hands, literally and figuratively of all the nonsense and focusing on the issue. if we could control the virus, if we could reduce its spread, then we can open up more comfortably, carefully. but we must do it carefully. there's no sense that we can just do it in a carefree fashion, but if we could control the virus's spread in the community, then, indeed, we could all enjoy each other's company at some distance in this new normal. >> dr. schaffner, do you think tony fauci is surprised that he is 14 days out from an elec

carol lee is joining us, a medical contributor dr. vin gupta. the president did that town hall to compete with joe biden after he pulled out of what would have been the town hall debate where he got to talk to voters. does the campaign think he helped himself last night. >> they don't feel like he didn't help himself. what you're hearing from the white house and the cam pab is a lot of what the president laid ground work for. that he didn't get a fair shake. that joe biden was treated with softball questions and he had to bob and weave and take on tough questions. i heard from a white house official that said they would have liked to see more questions from audience members in their view. issues like qanon is not something that voters broadly care about. they wanted more on china, foreign policy, that kind of thing nap thing. that is where their posture is. but they're moving forward, they see his campaign events, he has a few official events, and then georgia, that's where they really think he will bring his message. not necessarily in that set

lee, though speaking, is not wearing a mask. and you may recall the senator from such events as this one, that would be the white house rose garden event on september 26th, that dr. anthony fauci described as a super spreader event for amy coney barrett where senator lee was seen hugging people. and here is lee maskless three days later with judge barrett. he is one of at least 12 people who were at that super spreader event diagnosed with covid. and while he wasn't hospitalized he has had and maybe still has a pretty serious case by his own admission. >> i had fatigue, i had some fevers, and sometimes i felt like it might feel to be 98 years old and in a boxing match. >> mike lee is not fully out of the woods. his doctor today released a letter that acknowledged that while lee is improving, he is basically still experiencing symptoms self-reported, and yet there he was the hearing room today, speaking without a mask, so committed to ramming through a justice, to giving trump and conservatives a 6-3 majority on the court for a generation so they can do things like, i don't know, maybe take away americans' health care. so committed to that project, while he may h

lee, it's important reporting. i think the theory of the case for why dr. conley was acting so e evasive and what mark meadow said the morning after the president was admitted, was that he wanted to project an upbeat message for the virus. everyone felt like it was safe to consider that a projection and say he was projecting an upbeat message for the patient. it seems the nda or something like that could have been at play. let's watch his performance and talk about it on the other side. >> reporter: has he ever been on supplemental oxygen? >> right now he's not on oxygen. >> you say that now but -- >> reporter: disclose the president has been administered oxygen. >> i was trying to reflect the upbeat message for the president, his team, the course of the illness. didn't want to give any information that might steer the course of illness in another direction. >> reporter: you're actively not telling us what the lung scans show? >> there are hipaa rules and regulations that restrict me from sharing certain things for his safety and health and reasons. >> caro

dr. vin gupta. kasie, first to you, what is the fallout on capitol hill? we've heard that mike leeo had been at the white house on saturday and took i guess one of those rapid tests and tested negative saturday as he was going over there for the rollout of amy coney barrett, but now he's positive and is isolating at home. >> right, andrea, and that obviously underscoring some questions about this testing, since of course everyone did have to test negative to go to that white house event and also test negative to be inside the debate hall on tuesday night. yes, senator mike lee who also met with amy coney barrett on capitol hill on tuesday, announcing he's tested positive and will be self-isolating. the reality is this is rippling across capitol hill. there were a number of other members of congress, senators who attended that event at the white house. there obviously have been 30 plus senators who have met with amy coney barrett, who has been in contact with mark meadows who of course has been in close contact with the president. even just trying to say it all out loud, you get a s

ronna mcdaniel, republican senators mike lee, thom tillis, ron johnson, and trump campaign manager bill stepien. the g.o.p. changed its symbol to this. don't worry, drey assures me that elephant is not currently on oxygen and has not felt this good in 20 years. the latest trump official to fall ill is white house press secretary and barbie who whispers threats while your children sleep, kayleigh mcenany, who tweeted, "after testing negative consistently including every day since thursday, i tested positive for covid-19 on monday while experiencing no symptoms." here's the thing: kayleigh knew she had been in close contact with hope hicks, and had a high likelihood of being infected. but after knowing that, kayleigh mcenany repeatedly spoke to reporters without a mask on. she was just trying to give journalists a scoop! (as mcenany) "come here-- i've got an exclusive: you're going to get sick very soon!" and it's not just trump staffers, three journalists working at the white house have tested positive for covid-19. the trump administration is a hot zone. coming this fall from aaron sorkin, "the infest wing." we've got a great show for you tonight. j

dr. jha, to that event on saturday, which is increasingly becoming at least a serious spreader of some kind, you've seen the video. they were outdoors, but there was no social distancing, and mike lee is hugging people. other people are half-hugging, you can see it happening. they're all standing closely to each other. you can't detect that it's oc r occurring during a pandemic. what do you see about the behavior that informs what the count is now up to on number of people now infected who were at the event saturday at the white house? >> for weeks now, the president and the white house has been saying the pandemic is behind us. it's over. and what i saw in that video was a group of people feeling and acting like the pandemic is over. unfortunately, we all know that it's not over. and so this is really a concerning turn of events. what you see is all these people together, and now we're having many of them turn up positive. and i suspect in the days and weeks ahead, we'll find probably many more cases from that event. so it's all very concerning. look, we've got a ways to go on the pandemic, and we really need to focus our attention. >> we're going to stay on this breaking news, jo

dr. jen ashton. people have come into contact with the president since last saturday, and at least two other people at the announcement for judge amy coney barrett, the president of notre dame and governor mike leef utah have tested positive. but for someone who has been in contact with the president in the last 24 and 48 hours, an immediate negative test doesn't necessarily mean you're in the clear, correct? >> i asked dr. anthony fauci about this question, when is the optimal time to get your test after being exposed? he said day three, day four, day five. we know the average incubation period for the virus is 5.2 days. and we know that people who are presymptomatic can shed the virus and be contagious up to 48 hours before they, themselves, develop symptoms. that would be the time to get your test. day three, day four, day five. getting tested immediately right after exposure is not that clinically meaningful. and can absolutely present the possibility of a false negative result. so contact tracing is key. we've heard from the beginning, critical to control the outbreak. test, trace, and isolate. seems like there are some big issues in the contact tracing department. >> president trump was ac
