kennedy: chris hahn, chris hahn, chris hahn, don't talk when someone else is talking, we cannot do that with these fully digital panels. it is impossible. you've given up your turn so i'm going to go to chris barron right now. chris, the president wins reelection should he pack the court and expand the size of the supreme court? >> as much as i want to say yes, i am not insane so the answer is no. of course we should not undermine the supreme court to attempt to supplant some sort of political agenda. i mean look, i understand why mr. hahn is angry. that left has relied on the supreme court to do it's unable to do the ballot boxes and the legislature for decades. and now they're not going to be able to do that anymore. so i am sure he's mad. i'm sure is completely and totally ticked off about it. but unfortunately that is the way it worked out. the voters voted for donald trump and elected him in 2016. dissent was held in 2018 by a republican. as many times as you want to say jm or schama or ram, whatever arrives, sue laura k panel were going to return a little while later. >> i'm not a

stephen hahn, dr. margaret hamburg, thank you for taking time from your busy schedule on what promises to be a very interesting discussion. thanks to all of you for being with us. we look forward to seeing you for our next health event. >> so exciting, what we have in store for today. thank you, dr. stephen hahn and dr. margaret hamburg for spending time with us today. let me begin with a question for you. this conversation could not be more timely, the vaccines and related biological products advisory committee, actually meeting as we speak, it was a narrow introduction but some of the presentation, the meeting is designed to discuss the process of authorizing licensing the vaccine candidate to prevent candidates to prevent chloroquine to. and this is fundamental to what i hope we will talk about today which is the credibility of the process. talk a little bit about why it is essential to open up this process to everybody. >> we've seen vaccine skepticism in this country that preceded the covid-19 pan

hahn? dr. hahn reported, quote, career scientists at the f.d.a. do it. that's very clear. i'm briefed on all major medical product decisions, dr. hahn said, over ruling a senator's decision is a rare event. i have expressed on multiple occasions and i have done so during the covid-19 pandemic to make sure that these decisions are made by career scientists in the centers. i followed up by asking dr. hahn's confidence in taking a covid-19 vaccine himself. i said, you referred to this once, but once the f.d.a. approves a vaccine, as we've said today, we're going to have tens of millions of doses ready this year, none can be distributed until the f.d.a. approves it. will you be willing to take that vaccine and will you recommend it for your family? i asked dr. hahn. he replied. absolutely, mr. chairman. i have complete and absolute faith in the expertise of the scientists who are terrific at f.d.a. if they were to make a determination that a vaccine would be safe and effective, i would do that. and i would encourage my family to take the vaccine. those are the words of the man

johannes hahn. this is huge.a, when will we see the commission cap markets for the first time? two. hahn: we will issue different kind of a bond's we will start with so-called sure bonds. it is aimed at supporting member measures support aiming to bring people back to work or keep them at work during these difficult times. and for this we have a maximum volume of around 100 billion. we will start issuing the first tranche in the second part of october. and the biggest chunk and the second half of next year. after that, we will start the next generation part which is finally more than 800 billion and this will start i suppose by the end of the second quarter next year. maria: there will be an issuance of short bonds that will happen at the end of the month. november. and when it comes to the big recovery fund, you expect that at the second quarter of 2021. normally, you would issue a 10 year potentially but given that interest rates are so low, jp morgan might have a 50 year bond? comm. hahn: legally we will have

brent: julia hahn, giving us valuable insights into this conflict between azerbaijan and armenia.nk you. a deal with china has been extended that calls for beijing to recognize the pope's authority to appoint catholic bishops. it renews a historic deal that ended a long-running power struggle over the right to appoint bishops in china. dw spoke to the former bishop of hong kong. he's concerned about the church's engagement with china. >> china and the vatican recently renewed a secretive agreement signed two years ago. it allowed both beijing and the holy city essay in appointing bishops in china. this former bishop accused -- of betraying the 12 million catholic peopl population to -- beijing. >> this is an agreement that is immoral, which is against our faith. it is incredible. it is a betrayal, and i suspect that they want to have this diplomatic relation reestablished, but that is very bad. that is a political thing. it is not religious. we are a religion, so first of all, it is our faith. >> this cardinal journeyed to rome earlier this month, but is worried that the undergrou

hahn. and why does he not know it? because there is this elaborate, independent process established by career scientists with not a word changed by the white house that will review the data and then make a decision. ow, because of the work of congress and the administration, tens of millions of doses are being manufactured. so when that approval comes, whether it's november, december, january, there will be tens of millions of doses of vaccine ready to distribute to the american people. but that approval won't come until the career scientists' rules are followed. the f.d.a. is considered the gold standard in the world, in part because it is one of the few regulatory agencies in the world that looks at detailed clinical trial data as part of its review rather than summaries f clinical trial data. the f.d.a. division making the decision to approve or authorize a vaccine for covid-19 is led by experts with decades of experience, including dr. peter marks, whom i mentioned, the head of the center for biologics evaluation r

i'm hoping to get questions and answers from johannes hahn.ecord bond issuance that we are exciting from the eu. tadeo in ouria brussels studio. will be looking forward to thursday, october 15, at deadline as to whether or not with the negotiations continued. let's take a look at where we are before the european market open. we saw a risk on europe equity trade this morning across asia. chinese equities were higher. - head ofng, up to xi jinping making his way to shenzhen later this week as many are making him to talk about reform. it is shaping up to be this monday morning to be a risk-on event. it is really interesting to see what is going on in the currency market. it is all about the yuan this morning. acting to restrain its strength to make it easier to bet against , removing the reserve requirement for trading yuan going forward. not necessary to reverse it. if we look across the other currency this morning, cable is getting a little bit of a boost. we'll be hearing from boris johnson today as the covid crisis is taking center stage acro

a congressman heard what chris hahn was saying, that the republicans are trying to make it harder for people to vote, but your colleagues on the judiciary committee are concerned about other states as well? how prevalent is this? >> i think it's very prevalent. i think it's important that the attorney general investigate colorado and other states. in colorado, the secretary of state sent out postcards to dead people, to migrant workers on farms that were not u.s. citizens, to bidder visitors frm foreign countries. we have a lady who received a postcard, she hadn't lived in loretto since 1967 and she's been dead for years. one example where they are trying to get people to register to vote who are ineligible. >> when you think about the need for a resolution of the selection, given how hot things have been in this country, what do you think is going to play out if this election is not resolved on election night, which many people think it won't be, and this thing drags out until december? >> i think it's important -- i think it's really important that everything leading up to election

hahn saying a third thing and all very confusing. if we could just stop talking about this until the phase three trials are done would be helpful. yesterday's meeting was a sad day in america for me. i'm on the fda's vaccine advisory committee. i know the people in the fda, exactly who you want them to be and care about doing their job right and i think it is hard to watch the administration sort of perturb these science-based federal agencies. it certainly isn't to the advantage of the american public. >> i hope they strap in and do their job just as you say they're most capable of doing. grateful for your time. >> thank you. >>> an important fact check of the president's latest election fraud claims. no tomatoes.. [hard a] tonight... i'll be eating four cheese tortellini with extra tomatoes. [full emphasis on the soft a] so its come to this? [doorbell chimes] thank you.

. >>> alex azar is floating a plan to get rid of the fda's steven hahn. this stems from hahn's insistence that any potential covid-19 vaccine needs to pass more rigorous safety guidelines than normal. joining me now is the president of axis health international dr. william hazelton. doctor, i want to get your reaction to this report. it says a feud between hhs and the fda has disrupted efforts to combat the virus. talk to us about the danger in these agencies butting heads. >> of course it's dangerous in the middle of a pandemic to have a fight with the people who are meant to control it. let me say that it's like attacking the fire department when your house is on fire. it's not a good thing to do. this is unwise and a virus is a natural phenomenon. it's like an earthquake. it's like a volcano. you can't shove it into a political box which is convenient for your re-election. you can't do that. the virus will do what it does. you have to look at it kwarsqua and you've got to use our best institutional tools -- the cdc, the fda and put your trust in them w

hahn himself about this and other data scientists. it's basically this, if the side effects are going to occur with these vaccines, they typically occur within the first two months. stephen hahn has said this, the chief adviser to operation warped speed said this. that's where the two-month time frame came from. it will not catch all side effects but should catch a significant number of side effects if they you are occur. if you wait to months and make sure the safety data is there, that should be pretty good in determining if it's a safe vaccine. the president had already sort of hinted he may not approve those guidelines. the fda has said we're going to go for it anyways. the manufacturer of the vaccines have indicated they would not submit for authorization until they had that sort of data. i think that's going to be really, really important and i think it's worth pointing out again, it should be celebrated that this vaccine, if it does get authorized, will be the fastest vaccine we have ever created as a human society. it's the mo

as lauren sauer alluded to, echo did by fda commissioner stephen hahn, the halt in eli lilly's antibodyal as well as other vaccine trials is all about process and safety. it is not about politics. in an interview on bloomberg, this is what the commissioner had to say. this is from the fda's perspective, not a politicized process. of course we are concerned the public feels this may be politicized, but i want to reassure the public that it is not. we are here to talk about the developing vaccines is dr. jeremy faust, emergency medicine physician at goodman and women's hospital. he was part of a group of scientists who did report the news about eli lilly's vaccine treatment paused. think you very much for being with us. let's start right there. whether there is a general understanding about the complexity and the sensitivity trials,nt illness and in the general public, and whether that muddies the waters for people trying to figure out how soon we will have a vaccine? dr. faust: like the previous segment alluded to, no one has really seen this before and play out in real time. we are in u

of the vice president, she left the white house since august and has been critical of the president hahnd to see you again. >> thank you, good to see you again. >> how has it been for you today? >> rachel, this has been a hard day for me the last 24 hours of hope hicks and honestly last night when i heard that, i just knew that we would be hearing more people would be positive because of the proximity of the immediate staff and i know how close she was to the president. she was part of the inner circle. as i watch this throughout the day, it has been a somber, sad day for me. it is something very serious. i know a lot of these people and i know that a lot of them are here right now and i have been in touch with some of them and this is very real to them. i think to be honest a reality check for everybody in that white house right now. >> i think a lot of people and certainly speaking for myself, i think that i assume part of the reason the president seemingly so cavalier of the risk of this virus because he was almost exquisitely protected of the protocol in the white house to keep him s

steven hahn has recently been establishing guidelines to ensure its safety.ourse there's dr. fauci, the most vocal and blunt member of the task force, not coincidentally the one in the president's crosshairs. >> there would be so many people in the community that you can't shelter, that you can't protect, who will get sick and have serious consequences. this idea we have the power to protect the vulnerable is total nonsense. you'll wind up with president more infections that lead to hospitalizations and death. >> here's what fauci said about the trump campaign to -- >> i do not and nor will i ever publicly endorse any political candidate. here i am, sticking me right in the middle of a campaign ad, which i thought was outrageous. i was referring to something entirely different. i was referring to the grueling work of the task force that, god, we were knocking ourselves out seven days a week. >> did the steam come out of your ears? >> it did. quite frankly i goat really ticked off. >> also speaking out on the super-spreader events. >> when i saw that on tv, i

. >> do you believe the president will keep stephen hahn as the fda commissioner after the election? nowll i am focused on right like a laser beam is tuesday from a policy perspective. i really fear looking at the possible outcome with a biden-harris ticket coming in that we could have as the president has had a great depression. why do i say that? it gets back -- >> peter, what is your evidence for that? >> i will give that to you. what we do here are point to the policy compass. we believe tax cuts stimulate growth. at joe biden will raise taxes. we believe when you deregulate that lowers the cost of businesses, it us more competitive. helps us grow. regulationsncrease as he did in the obama administration. if you look at the strategic energy dominance we have obtained, we are now the largest pepetroleum producer in thworld and a net exporter. ben-harris,der a will go awa that will basically create national security issues as well as diminish our growth. if you look at the issue of defense spending, do not underestimate this. a lot of ways defense production has help stabilize our

jacqui heinrich has more hahn the biden campaign. first, let's begin with john roberts. you're live here in nashville somewhere. >> it's beautiful. sunny and 80 degrees. the way i like it. the president will be leaving the white house in a couple hours. destination, gastonia, north carolina. just west of charlotte. the president won by over 30 points in 2016. overall across north carolina, the rcp average has joe biden up 2.3%. a couple of those polls recently may be a bit of an outlier. the race could be tighter than that. in gastonia tonight during his speech, the president will again be going after joe biden via his son, hunter and the e-mail controversy. much the same way he did in eerie, pennsylvania last night. listen here. >> smoking gun e-mails show that the biden family sold the vice presidency for very, very substantial amount of money. more money than anybody would believe. he let china plunder your jobs while his family raked in millions of dollars from china and foreign nations. >> president trump is also expected to bring up hunter biden in tomorrow night's

nicolle, i think majority of the anger that you're seeing from the white house against commissioner hahn that the fda asked that, you know, we have at least two months of followup for safety f which is still pretty fast compared to traditional vaccine development and testing and a certain amount of data on severe cases. despite that, that guideline, you know, that commissioner stood up for gave us a sense of just a breath of fresh air for those of us in public health and medicine and infectious diseases to say okay, there is some normalcy. we'll see some level of just holding of standards when this vaccine is released, and instead, what you're seeing is continued pressure with a pattern of the white house to try to keep silence scientists. instead of what they should be doing, which is despite this safety regulation, two of the four candidates that will advance trials will say they will apply for emergency use authorization and have enough data november, december already. they should be taking kudos for that. th this is one of the few things about the response that has worked like light

had hahn, the surgeon general, they do sound more emboldened than they have in the past.t you just heard the admiral say isn't something he was saying a couple months ago. testing won't be a strategy to get us out of this. he was really down playing it. now you're hearing a different story. one thing i want to point out on a more positive note. look at hyper local data and see how impactful these strategies are. arizona, for example. we know how bad arizona got. you may remember, they did the shutdown. when they lifted the stay-at-home numbers, the numbers went up 151% within a couple of weeks. going back to june. this is really worth paying attention to. after they sort of really started to red line, they put in these basic mask requirements. they limited large public gatherings, and certain business closur closures, what did they see? a 75% decrease in overall new case numbers within three weeks. okay? that's without a vaccine. if we can even stall the growth. if we can even stall it right now, that would be a big deal. and arizona shows us that it can be done. what the

hahn the fda commissioner said yesterday we're sticking with those guidelines despite any political pressure what's interesting, we have been doing a lot of reporting on this, that nobody really knows when the authorization may happen, no one knows if an authorization will happen. there's the only one small independent entity only getting a chance to look at the data. everyone else is guessing. now, we had a chance, now they don't talk very much because they don't want to be pressured. we were able to talk to one of the board members who agreed to speak to us and describe what was happening here. take a listen. >> by the way -- >> not just in charge -- >> by the way -- >> they will have the vaccine very soon. >> reporter: despite promises like these, the vaccine time line may not be up to the president alone. or even the fda for that matter. because there is a small secretive group that sees the vaccine data before anyone else. >> this all gets decided by a group called a data and safety monitoring board. >> reporter: the dsmb is a group of experts and all sorts of areas like statistics, eth

johannes hahn speaking to maria tadeo earlier today. fascinating conversation.ve day yesterday. joining us on the phone is bloomberg's bonds reporter. john, talk me through the significance of what we just saw. we are seeing treasury selling often the states on the same day yesterday we saw this massive issuance that was so hugely oversubscribed in europe. john: yes. it is funny you should say that. this was a huge deal. nearly 14 times as many orders for the amount of bonds on offer. it is the biggest there ever has been. it is largely a function of how scarce assets have become in europe. in germany, thanks to the budget frugality they are not that many german bunds going around. clearly investors were starved. they dived into this. there were 200 investors. even the eu were surprised with how well this went. huge successwas a and that sums it up. alix: does the ecb need to buy any of it or does that mean we will see issuance so there is something for the ecb needs to buy? john: we expect the ecb will start buying at the tail end of this week or early next wee

jacqui heinrich has more hahn the biden campaign. first, let's begin with john roberts.e live here in nashville

steven hahn, he told bloomberg news yesterday he wouldn't comment on this particular situation but hehere is a lot of back and forth between the company and the fda, and i spoke to a former fda commissioner, dr. robert kayla and he said, look, the fda is going to be asking a lot of questions. you have one person with a neurological -- with a neurological symptoms, that's this patient, which has caused this pause, plus astrazeneca had a pause back in july, that person, that study subject, also had neurological symptoms. you've got two people with neurological symptoms who got the same vaccine, that is concerning. he said the fda is going to be super, super careful about asking for test results, images, everything that they can think of to see if the vaccine might be to blame here. >> there is another trial that's also paused this, one is by johnson & johnson. what do we know about that pause and is it a similar situation to astrazeneca or completely different? >> it is similar in that a patient -- i'm sorry, a participant, a study subject illness is the cause of the pause. somebody got

geraldo rivera fox news correspondent at large is with me tonight, chris hahn former aide to chuck schumer's we have been watching, the president has been hitting three events a day minimum, he's going to do four en

up and saves countless lives because of his moves, we know that because the doctors, fauci, burke, hahn and redfield have all said so. if he had a d by his name you would be saying he's going to sail to reelection and you know that. >> hogan, i can assure you that sadly on november 4th we still expect to be reporting on record deaths and record hospitalizations and whatever happens, and we will still be reporting on it as we do every day. i wish we didn't have to, but we do report on that every day. hogan, we really appreciate you coming on with a message from the campaign and the white house. obviously we are watching very closely and we will see you again soon. >> thank you, alisyn. >> thank you. >>> wisconsin breaking records for coronavirus cases, hospitalizations and deaths. we talked to a doctor from a wisconsin hospital about the crisis there that is growing. i feel like we're forgetting something. let me check. xfinity home gives you peace of mind from anywhere with professionally monitored home security built around you. no, i think we're good. good. so when you're away, you do

for the fourth quarter, but if you look at the numbers that come out of asia, taiwan in particular, hahn high, they were down 20% for the month of september. it's not unusual when you transition to a new phone because apple stops producing the old phones in the size they're producing it and the question is to josh's point, which is absolutely correct, is this the kind of market where investors going to forgive a potential miss in this quarter and look forward to the future for the 12 shipment, which i still maintain will be apple's biggest product launch in years and maybe ever. so i'm not doing anything. you'll see it transition -- you'll see it play down through the psupply chain like sky work, maybe sirrus long being, maybe others -- logic, maybe others >> and the great call you made saying things were way too optimistic in the middle of the month and a bit of a come upp g uppings and hello. a lot of these big cap tech names haven't traded all that well >> el wiwell, what was behind tt call was in the first half of october we were operating on way too short term of a mentality and we

hahn. every one of these doctors i had an unfortunate conversation saying you're not needed today.hat call to secretary azar as well. and the secretary was angry. when i called and said you're not included today. he said this is a public health response. i should absolutely be there. >> so you anticipated my question, then. what was dr. fauci's reaction when told? did he know he was being sidelined? did he say, i get it. i know what they're doing? >> well i think he realized that when i said, you know, it's not me. right? >> hmm. >> it's not -- me. doing this. and i know this is hard for all of you. i've watched it. i mean, i don't think he wavered on it. he understood it. he's a complete gentlemen and professional. i don't think it felt great for any of these people to be treated this way and what you see now is, you see dr. fauci just give interviews, thank goodness, where he continues to talk about what's happening. talking about what we're seeing in the winter. warning about this for months, all of them have. >> yeah. >> and, yeah. i mean, you just see quite frankly the white h

hahn, the director of the nih, dr. collins.hen you have experts you get a radiologist who says what you want to hear and you put him at the podium in the briefing room instead of the experts who have been doing this for decades. the president may listen to dr. atlas about this. i haven't heard yet why the rest of us should. dr. -- go ahead. just wrap it up. >> the only thing i was going to say is you're right. there's a task force and great, credible scientists on the task force. yet the only person we hear from is the least credible member. you got to ask, well, why is that the stuff we keep hearing from the task force is the least credible, most politically focused member of the task force. it's super frustrating. i appreciate being on with you. >> we appreciate having your voice in this and your expertise to break this down and remind us how important this is and why it's so important. doctor, thank you so much. >> thank you. >> absolutely. >>> looking ahead to today, former vice president joe biden is in north carolina. now

hahn, dr. birx, dr. redfield, when i was at the white house when this first initially reared its ugly head in this country. in the president listened to dr. fauci, no question. in fact it was dr. fauci that said the president of all of his advice, except for one peach. dr. fauci said he would not have shut down most flights from china and from europe and now we know, thanks to the health experts in the medical experts that that -- >> martha: let me ask you this, do you think it's a good idea for him to call him an idiot at this point? because the fact of the matter is there are places in the country that are experiencing what those of us on the east coast experienced quite some time ago. and that part of this whole experience is when you feel very nervous and wisconsin is one of those states. so they thought they were out of the woods, now they are seeing what we saw here. not in the numbers, should point out, not even close, but the hospitalization rates are increasing around those people as they get re

think it does offer a layer of protection that's important and as you pointed out as well, steven hahn the fda is not going to be pressured. >> we'll look at live pictures from the president's rally in minnesota. there have been no problems. is that accurate? he seemed to indicate no one has gotten sick. he had an indoor rally back in tulsa in june. herman cain ended up dying from coronavirus the next month. what do you make of the president saying they've had no problems. >> well, first of all, because we still have so many new viral infections every day in this country, contact tracing is something -- we used to talk about it all the time. it's incredibly hard to do. about half the country, half the people who get infected at any given point in time, don't have any idea where they contracted it as a result. that's part of the problem. there's no question, the virus is the virus, you look at those images of the rallies, it's better that it's outside. the virus disburses much more easily outside. you're closely clustered, you're there for long durations. if you walk by someone, that's

hahn, the surgeon general, jerome adams.do feel -- sound more emboldened than they have in the past. what you just heard the admiral say wasn't something he was saying a couple months ago. testing was not going to be a strategy to get us out of this. he was really downplaying it. now, you are hearing a different story. i think this amplifies what the admiral is saying. if we look at hyper-local data and see how impactful these strategies are. arizona, for example. we know how bad arizona got. you may remember. they did the shutdown. when they lifted the stay-at-home orders, numbers went up 151% within just a couple of weeks, don. we're going back to june. but here is the remarkable thing, and i think this is really worth paying attention to. after they sort of really started to redline, they put in these -- these basic, mask requirements. they limited large, public gatherings. and certain business closures. read bars, primarily. and what did they see, don? 75% decrease in overall, new case numbers and that was within three w

[ applause ] >> thank you. thank you very much. it is a pleasure to be here and a great pleasure to see all of you here. this is actually my third time at this library and i've spoken at a number of libraries. not a lot of five star libraries. so congratulations on that. so i entitled my introduction to this volume on mckinley, i was pleased to see that "the wall street journal" sort of picked up on that in writing a headline over its review of my book, which by the way, was very favorable. that's my effort to emulate donald trump. i have to say that didn't set out to solve the mystery of william mckinle

steven hahn the fda director pushed back and said the vice president should wear a mask.emblematic of what we saw as this collision between politics and science throughout the course of the time the vice president was running the coronavirus task force. >> mark, well, notable in that the discussion was not about the health of patients in the hospital but about the sort i want to talk about another decision you write about, and that is direct intervention in cdc guidelines. this related to a meat processing plant where we've seen a lot of very, sometimes deadly, outbreaks. tell us about that. >> so in the course of our reporting, we found several people on the task force gave the vice president decent marks for listening to science, for having reasonable discussions and respecting the scientists. but at a lower level, it was his staff who very aggressively at times were intervening in scientific decisions, and one of them was in cdc guidelines from churches to schools to camps. and, as you said, meat packing plants. in april the cdc sent a team to a smithfield food plant i

hahn and dr. redfield when they were coming into the west wing. they would certainly have their masks on. but everyone else around was pretty cavalier about it. it just -- it didn't make sense. we were -- the messaging we were giving to the public as a task force, you know, obviously not coming from the president because he was giving a completely different message. but we weren't actually following it on the white house grounds. >> one last question for you, olivia. was there ever an explicit plan within the white house coronavirus task force for what the reaction would be, what the plan would be, what the contingencies would be if the president himself got sick? >> you know, obviously we have a continuity of government plan that's run out of the national security council. fema's involved, and so we didn't -- we didn't have those specific conditions on the task force. but i can tell you this, that i find it just interesting because in the past when we've had immediate staffers test positive, it didn't quite seem that we were really following kind

geraldo rivera fox news correspondent at large is with me tonight, chris hahn former aide to chuck schumer's with us tonight. what a whirlwind we have been watching, the president has been hitting three events a day minimum, he's going to do four in pennsylvania tomorrow and we are waiting for joe biden tonight to appear in wisconsin as well. your thoughts on where we stand tonight? >> first of all, for a 74-year-old man come i cannot believe his energy. this guy is the energizer bunny, he's everywhere and working so hard, he's a vivacious in his way. the problem is, the same states that have been afflicted by this coronavirus. he is haunted by covid-19, this is my local paper, the clevelan "plain dealer" -- this is ohio, you can see it's red. a very high exposure and spread, level three. this is a state that two weeks ago had trump head 48-47, the same poll, quinnipiac have biden ahead by three now. i think the disease is having more of an impact than the democrats. >> martha: we are going to show that map and a little bit of all the swing states that are getting hit hard now which is obvio

i actually have an hour-long webinar with commissioner hahn later this week live that will cover thesevery issues. and i can tell you right now we in the public health community are absolutely frightened by this proposition. that the administration may decide on its own to bring through based on emergency use authorization of a licensed vaccine and also require a company to make it under the defense production act even if they don't want to. and why that's really important is because we as a public health community have a very, very solemn oath to the public. we will not bring through vaccines that haven't been demonstrated to be safe and effective. and i believe the fda is trying to do just that. there's no politics here. it's straight science. and i would hate to see us in a public health in the community have to stand up and say no, this vaccine is not ready for prime time just so that it might have a political advantage in someone's court. that would create even more distrust of what is already a challenge, trying to get people to understand why these vaccines are important. so thi

high school address supporters in our zona that's bringing our white house correspondent kimberly hahn can't be so 6 days to go the final stretch where and what the campaigns focusing on well as you mentioned is joe biden is home state of delaware where he's voting holding a health care speech as well as a virtual event the focus of this is really his closing argument how he believes he could heal a divided nation kamel harris in arizona and 2 rallies for donald trump in arizona as well or he is going to make the case in those make america great again rallies to ignore the polls that he says they were wrong in 2016 and even though there is a double digit lead nationally for joe biden he says they'll be wrong in 2020 once again 17000000 votes have already been cast kimberly that's more than half of the overall turnout in 2016 what does that mean for turnout on election day. well it means that in many cases a lot of those who are doing in person voting tend to lean republican the early mail in voting has tended to favor joe biden thus far one thing that's not encouraging for donald trump

hahn is working at the fda. and hopefully, you don't need it. for the most part, you won't need it come i think for the most part, but you will get it and you will get better and i call it a cure. they call it therapeutic but i call it a cure, jude regeneron, great companies. i told you before eli lilly but through operational for speed, 100 million vaccine doses before the end of the year. the vaccine will end the pandemic but it is ending anyway appear they go crazy when i say that. it is going to end. we are going to make it a lot faster with a vaccine and with therapeutics, and frankly, the cures. so we are joined today by some incredible way years and friends of ours, congressman david rawls or, where is he? david. he is a warrior. how are we doing, david? you are doing good. do you have any competition? any competition or not much? i love that. i like when they say not much, sir. but if they have, i'm always there to help, thank you, david, a great job. we have a candidate for north carolina superintendent of public instruction catherine t

steven hahn says his agency will not succumb to political pressure from the white house and instead stand on vaccine development before granting any vaccine for general use. important, especially because president trump, himself, notably added fuel to the fire when he said he might overrule the agency if it decided to strengthen guidance on any coronavirus vaccine before it became approved. >> mr. president, the fda is reportedly -- stricter guidelines for a covid vaccine. are you okay with that? >> i tell you, we are looking at that. that has to be approved by the white house. we may or may not approve it. that sounds like a political move. >> before any covid-19 vaccine gets approval, it has to go before a little-known group of experts. a group, before now, hasn't let the general public in on who they are or what they do. dr. sanjay gupta with his exclusive report on the group and the work they do. >> reporter: if and when a vaccine is made available, may not be up to the president, alone. or even the fda, for that matter. because there is a small, secretive group that sees the vaccine

well w's julia hahn has been finding out more about the civilian toll of the conflict she sent us this report from the town of daraa in azerbaijan that's about 20 kilometers from the frontline. if. you go far as the live shows us where he used to live until very recently. say a rocket hit his house in early october he says we're not so. far to go quite often they showed us. his home for 35 years burnt down to the walls. of their work or whatever the whole family was sitting here watching t.v. and suddenly there was an explosion in the backyard everything started burning we ran outside and called the fire fighters but when they arrived it was already too late for me to go. and memories. i want to go for as early as is convinced that our 1000000 is responsible for the attack the neighboring country deliberately bombed many civilian targets in the area he says. we can't independently verify this we are not allowed to move freely near the front line we are only allowed to film with the as of a johnny authorities let us film. this school and bar for example even if it looks like it the chil
