jim sciutto. >> i'm poppy harlow. well, today, the nation is right on the verge of 200,000 coronavirus deaths and the president is still downplaying the virus's impact on americans. listen to this from him at a rally. >> now we know it. it affects elderly people, elderly people with heart problems and other problems. if they have other problems that's what it really affects. that's it. you know, in some states thousands of people -- nobody young. below the age of 18 like nobody. it affects virtually nobody. it's an amazing thing. >> well, the fact is, 40,000 people young and old are being infected each day right now with covid-19 in this country. and the nation's top infectious disease expert, dr. anthony fauci, says the u.s. response to this virus is not exactly quote terrific. our dr. sanjay gupta is set to interview dr. fauci live and you will see it here. >> once again, the president denied the facts and data on covid. we're going to hear from president trump this morning at the u.n. general assembly. his speech comes

jim? >>> well, we're joined by wyoming republican, and >> thank you, jim. ?rt on stimulus because this is top of the mind for many americans. democrats in the house passed a $3 trillion new stimulus bill in may. this problem solver's caucus is talking about $2 trillion. many republicans either don't think it's necessary or talking about something in the order of several hundred billion dollars. i wonder, from your point of view, why not meet in the middle? why not meet in the middle somewhere, get some stimulus for the many millions of americans still suffering through this. >> as you know, jim, pelosi rejected that bipartisan effort by the problem solvers. there was a headline, pelosi's nervous majority because so many democrats are nervous at the position that nancy pelosi has taken that was so far to the left and so excessive. she seems to be fixated on bailing out big cities, sending a blank check to states that have been poorly managed for a long time and using coronavirus as an excuse to do it. >> well, senator, as you know, there are republicans resist

jim: well i am definitely not giving advice.hter] i think it is obvious that there is a bubble in technology stocks that has doubled during the pandemic. part of that is driven by demand , and part ofducts that is the bubble that resulted .rom low interest rates you should have expected a correction in technology stocks trading at 50 times earnings. so i think we will have a reset on the technology sector. i think the continuing pandemic and our inability to get it , that is anl outside risk. sonali: speaking of the pandemic and how bad things can get, i want you to wear your hat is a restructuring advisor. what are we thinking for the second half of the year as we move on? we would, i had hoped see a national policy of ,esting, tracing, and isolation but we are not doing that. that is thatce of we are going to have states opening up and closing down, partially or not, and we are going to continue to have high , and that is going some froth around the commercial real estate markets. you've got a decline in cash and someandlords,

well and in russia we have the gamalia institute. this is now the third phase three study funded by the u.s. government, jim, and the hope is that one of these vaccines will turn out to work well and be safe. >> yeah. i mean, listen, the progress is good. the question is do you disrupt the normal process for ensuring it's safe? elizabeth cohen, thanks very much. >> thanks. >>> we're joined by the cnn medical correspondent, chief clinical officer. good to have you on. >> thanks, jim. >> elizabeth's line got to the root of it. concerns that dr. hahn will get mushy on the data, and it wouldn't be the first time that we've seen that. you know, there was an exaggeration of the benefits, for instance, of convalescent plasma but a factor of seven according to our sanjay gupta. here's the big question. should americans trust that this vaccine decision, an important one for this country, will be based on medicine and science rather than politics? >> well, of course, americans should be able to trust that, and the problem is with the mixed messaging coming from this administration, including from leaders in the admin

jim? >> lauren fox, thanks so much. >> it's going to be really interesting to follow. >> well, good post holidayim sciutto. >> and i'm poppy harlow. glad to be back with you. today is a big day for parent, students, right, and back to school for millions as this marks the official end of a devastating summer. the death toll in the u.s. is 190,000 if you can believe it and experts saying it's going to get a lot worse especially as the pandemic stacks up with the flu season. >> new developments in the race for a vaccine. biotech says they believe its vaccine made alongside pfizer could be ready for approval as soon as next month. they are two of nine pharmaceutical companies now pledging to uphold, quote, high ethical standards, this as there are real concerns because the industry is facing pressure from the white house to have a vaccine by election day. the question are politics influencing the science here? right now three vaccines are being tested here in the u.s., but here's another challenge, not enough minorities are signing up to participate in the trials. more on that in a moment.

>> reporter: good morning, jim. well, we don't right now.s to have a little bit of everything. we have money, lies, and kanye west. now, here's what we do know. the group is called common sense voters. and they're sending out these legitimate mail-in ballot applications. they are actual applications, in at least two critical swing states, pennsylvania and minnesota. and we've actually obtained a copy. i want to pull it up so you can see exactly what it looks like. this went out in pennsylvania, and it really presents i. s itss a non-partisan voting guide. but when you open it up, you see this. joe biden holding up of what looks to be a print copy of politico with a headline that falsie reads biden supports sanctuary cities, and beside it, it asks, are these your pennsylvania values. and in a statement to cnn, politico says there was no print edition of its paper that day. they also said that they never published that headlines on any of its platforms. however, they did have a story online that talked about biden veering left on sanctuary cit

jim? >>> well, president trump just compared his handling of the coronavirus outbreak to the leadership oflt and winston churchill during world war ii. what does the history actually tell us? next. just over a year ago, i was drowning in credit card debt. sofi helped me pay off twenty-three thousand dollars of credit card debt. they helped me consolidate all of that into one low monthly payment. they make you feel like it's an honor for them to help you out. i went from sleepless nights to getting my money right. so thank you. ♪ subut when we realized she wasn hebattling sensitive skin, so thank you. we switched to new tide plus downy free. it's gentle on her skin, and dermatologist recommended. new tide pods plus downy free. safe for sensitive skin with eczema and psoriasis. >>> this is the scene now at yet one more piece of hallowed ground near shanksville, pennsylvania, where united flight 93 went down. it's believed the hijackers overpowered by the passengers. the president there with the first lady. he will speak shortly and at 10:03 a.m. they will observe a moment of silence for when

>> well, that sentence i think we all admit and the cdc has now clarified it, jim.he sentence in a vacuum the way it rode gave the impression, which was clearly open to misinterpretation, that that means that they are not concerned about community spread and that they are not concerned about testing people who are without symptoms. let's clarify that. community spread is important. poem white house symptoms do spread the infection and we should be testing people under certain action should be test. unfortunately, no doubt about it, there was a misunderstanding but now the cdc has clarified it. >> all people exposed or some? >> right now certainly, if you have an actionable situation where there is an exposure that's prolonged and consistent with someone who is infected and you are without symptoms, you should get test it had. that's what i recommend. >> no question about that. >> fair enough. listen to dr. fauci. i want to listen to schools here. i'm a parent. three kids largely being educated at home and i'm sure lots of folks listening right now have gone through

and, jim, that's been, well, when it comes to multiples, you can't really have a discussion about it o be defying some of the moves we've seen battery day is drawing closer, jim. >> tomorrow is battery day what a day what a day that's going to be. already doting that as a holiday. i tell you what is inest theter but this nikola. and hindenburg which is an illusion to a tremendously unsuccessful is say while founder trevor milton's departure may give the appearance we believe this is only the beginning of nikola's unraveling we think the company's key asset was its founder's ability to raise money through hype and i know i'm going to caveat this saying outright lies i think that is, i have to be careful. general motors he said should be carefully evaluate the policy long-term damage to its 112-year brand by continuing to tie itself to nikola david, this is one of those, it's down a lot, but it's not over >> all right well, we're going to discuss it a lot more, carl but let's get the opening bell >> guys, there is the opening bell we'll watch some of the early movers jim and david menti

one quick question before i let you go, jim -- well, i am told that is all the time i have. you very much. i will be reading "axios a.m." in just a little while. sign up for the newsletter at signup.axios.com. that's it for me this wednesday morning. i'm alicia menendez. "morning joe" starts right now. >>> in cities across the nation, we've also seen police officers assaulted with bricks, rocks, bats, molotov cocktails, frozen bottles of water. somebody said last night, what are these protesters we saw? it's only water. how can water hurt you? yeah, they don't say it's frozen in a bottle the size of a football, and they throw it at the police. it's unbelievable. it's water. and then they have cans of soup. soup. and they throw the cans of soup. that's better than a brick, because you can't throw a brick. it's too heavy. but a can of soup, you can really put some power into that, right? >> yes, sir. >> then when they get caught, they say, no, this is soup for my family. they're so innocent. this is soup for my family. it's incredible. and you have people coming over with bags

well. seven-day averages going up. we mentioned a lot of worry because large gatherings are expected. many states in a fragile state ahead of labor day weekend. jim a reminder to stick to the guidelines. it helps everyone. >>> well, there's a new weapon in the fight against coronavirus or at least one hhs hopes, public relations. politico reports the department of health & human services is offering a $250 million contract for a p.r. firm to defeat despair and inspire hope amid the pandemic and to win the hearts of those in the fight against the coronavirus. local leaders not welcoming the president in wisconsin, but will the same go for joe biden, he considering a visit there as well. >>> and we're moments away from the opening bell on wall street. futures are mixed. this comes as the s&p wrapped up their best august in more than 40 years. the key jobs report will be set to be wree leased later this week. stay with us. first up is this exquisite bowl of french onion dip. i'm going to start the bidding at $5. thank you, sir. looking for $6. $6 over there! do i hear 7? $7 in the front! $7 going once. going twice. sold to the onion lover in the fro

>> reporter: well, our colleague, jim acosta, is now confirming via a former senior administration official that the president did indeed make disparaging comments about american soldiers who died in world war i during this visit to france when he was scheduled to visit the cemetery where marines lost their lives in a critical world war i battle. this is confirming some reporting from "the atlantic" that has caused quite a stir here at the white house and in washington more generally. i want to read you a section of that story that describes the president's comments on this. according to "the atlantic" it says in a conversation with senior staff members on the morning of the scheduled visit, trump said why should i go to that cemetery, it's filled with losers. in a separate conversation on the same trip, trump referred to the more than 1800 marines who lost their lives as suckers for getting killed. as i said, a former senior

and a revision of a half of 1% on this number as well the july read originally at 70.6 now stands at 71.1 jimyou >> well, thank you so much those numbers seem okay. this he seem okay, rick, and that's one of the reasons why i know we will be waiting for secretary -- for speaker pelosi to answer what leader mccarthy said because maybe we don't need a deal i will tell you who is on fire.if it makes you feel like things are great in the economy, it's lowe's. today they announced a major initiative offering opportunities for hundreds of diverse small businesses -- it's going to be like a shark tank and we caught up with lowe's ceo marvin ellison exclusively to discuss this and how business s take a listen. >> you know that we've been committed to trying to help small businesses operate in this really difficult economic environment. we started out with $55 million in small business grants that we've been i wish ring out and just to give you an update, we have had over 800,000 applicants for these grants since we initiated this program so the demand from this program led us to understand that there

jim? >> well, anderson, you heard the president say he would like to have this done before the election.ve you a sense as to how quickly things are moving along, judge amy coney barrett, one of the president's top contenders on his short list, met with the president at the white house earlier today. but, anderson, you know, there are lots of different ways this could play out. i talked to a source close to the white house this evening, who said one of the, you know, prevailing thoughts going on behind the scenes is that, perhaps there might be some hearings for a nominee before the election. but the actual vote to confirm the nominee would come after the election. they're gaming all kinds of strategies because, frankly, anderson, there's a potential that this could backfire, whether or not the president decides to do this before or after the election. even though you are talking about how the president and republicans seem to have the numbers on their side, at this point. they are well aware this could backfire and blow up in their faces. >> when do we expect to know who his pick is? so

to what in particular about this event, this wedding led it to be such a super spreader event. >> well, jimr having me on. this has been a challenging situation. one of the things that led to such a high number of cases as well as subsequent outbreaks were the things that we heard about for many months now. the attendees of the initial event on august 7th weren't wearing masks. much of the celebration they were part of was indoors, but on top of that, the individuals who attended that event subsequently had contact with others who themselves worked at places where there were built in structural vulnerables. one person had contact with another person who work at a nursing home and another person worked at a county jail. all of those locations have structural vulnerables where the residents -- the attendees, those who live in the places are at heightened vulnerability for covid-19. >> listen, such a reminder, wearing the mask it's not just about yourself or even primarily about your own health. it's about doing your part for everybody else. one reason you were able to track this so definitive

well, thank you, poppy and jim for having us this morning. other nature has brought a lot to bear here in california this year. the combination of temperatures, record temperatures, high temperatures, low humidity, dynamic wind conditions and the drought that had been present in northern california for the last year have all combined to make this one of the most challenging and perhaps most challenging wildfire season they've ever seen. >> so put this into context so folks know. i think folks who don't live there say i see this happen every year and it seems to be getting worse. do we know what is making every year seem to break the previous years' records. i mean, is climate change a factor? what can we learn from this? ? well, certainly and my commander in chief here in california, governor newsom has spoken about the deleterious effects of climate change on our state and it's a real factor here. obviously, human migration and patterns in the state are factors, as well. it's a populous state, lots of visitors and lots of activity. so there i

>> well, you're certainly right, jim.as interesting, her relationship with justice scalia, but just standing a few feet away from the army of clerks, you really -- when you talk to them, they say just what you're talking about. that kind of bridge. working for her was a lesson in the law for sure, but it was also a lesson in life. she taught them about how to be civil. how to disagree agreeably. her dearest friend was justice scalia, but these clerks right here, they're going to greet this casket. there are a mix of her supreme court clerks and her appellate law clerks and they will greet it and then go up the steps and in shifts they'll stand guard over this casket while it's here. a lot of them talked about them a their lessons and poppy will remember when she interviewed ginsburg, one of the things that she said was to some of the female clerks, she said you can have it all, but you can't have it all at the same time. and that emboldened through the clerkship and beyond. you're seeing the honorary pallbearers coming do

well. we appreciate it. >> yeah. you too jim. thank you for having me. i appreciate it. >> you too. coming up, a former defense secretary joins me. i will get his reaction to president trump's insulting comments. i was sworn into the united states senate in a hospital. my wife and daughter had been killed in an automobile crash, and lying in the bed were my two little boys. i couldn't have imagined what it would've been like if i didn't have insurance to cover them immediately and fully. forty years later, one of those little boys, my son beau, was diagnosed with terminal cancer, given months to live. i can't fathom what would have happened if the insurance companies had the power to say, "the last few months, you're on your own." the fact of the matter is health care is personal to me. obamacare is personal to me. when i see the president of the united states try to eliminate this health care in the middle of a public health crisis, that's personal to me too. we've got to build on what we did because every american deserves affordable health care. i'm joe biden and i approve this m

well as our gum issues. there's no question it's something that i would recommend. >>> good morning to you. i'm jim sciutto. the science and the facts show that covid-19 is still spreading in this country and still taking lives at an alarming rate. the president and the politics say otherwise. we'll stick with the facts. this morning, the midwest is seeing a surge in coronavirus cases. the u.s. reports more than 1,000 deaths in a single day and there are worries that the upcoming holiday weekend could fuel the spread of the virus. previous holiday weekends this summer have already. experts warn do not let your guard down. add this to the reasons why. new research from the cdc suggested symptoms can last much longer than initially thought. a new report shows a 17% increase in cases as well in u.s. children over the last two weeks. also this morning, dr. anthony fauci is warning the u.s. it needs to get control of this virus before flu season hits. >> what i would really like to see is kind of a full court press to get us way down as a baseline so that when you get these cases in the fall, they won't

it is a concern, jim, right? >> well, it's a huge concern. those numbers bear it out.ent than the general population with social distancing. you have people in dorm rooms, where they are on campus, and where they are able to attend school it is just a whole different environment. we've seen the pictures of how these students get together and what they do. but having said all that, this is what they've decided to do, these college athletic directors and the presidents of the schools and the chancellors have all come together along with the football team and football coaches and athletic departments and this is what they've decided they are going to do. if you look at what is going on in some other conferences they just play without the players, they'll go forward and keep some of those guys off the field. it will be a case-by-case basis. the problem is when you are trying to get this all done by december 19th it is a very short window. >> trace: i have to go. yes or no, pac-12, do they come back in? >> if you can get these governors and these people to agree and the gov

>> well, there's a variety of views, jim, as you well know.nes i've been talking to and there have literally been hundreds, have said that this is vile and disgusting. he doesn't understand service and sacrifice. you know, there's a great movie called "the bridges at toko rhee," where a famous line is said, where do we get these men? i would say the same thing? where do we get these men and women that dedicate their lives to do the things that they do. and for the president to degrade them, to devile them in their service, as he is report to have had done, to me is frankly disgusting. i don't understand it. these are people who put their life on the line. i've been honored over my decades of service to have stood next to these individuals. and to see the kinds of faith they have in our country and what they do for our country and to have someone reportedly say these kind of things and then try to cover it up and lie about it and as alisyn said a minute ago, that seems to be his modus operandi, is to continue to lie, we've seen what we've seen.

there is something bob in new york, bob >> caller: hey, jim, how are you today? >> doing well, bob how about you? >> caller: i'm doing -- well, i could be doing better, jim. >> the tesla has everybody upset. tesla, tesla i have mentioned tesla once, three times. go ahead. >> caller: i'm not going to mention it, either after the pandemic sell off, i called you and asked you if microsoft was in the same category as apple and that being own it, don't trade it your answer was yes. with an 11-point loss today but a possible tiktok acquisition pending, is your answer with or without tiktok still yes >> it's terrific that's the stock you buy tomorrow morning into a weaker opening. microsoft is the company if you get that at 198, 195 would be sensational. if it opens here, i would do some buying. let go to mark in michigan, mark >> caller: hello, jim. love your program. >> thank you, mark thank you. >> caller: i've been buying ox dental petroleum and i'd love to know what you think and even oil in general. >> i wouldn't touch oxy, no. i mean, oxy is a dry hole. don't touch that at all

he has done deals with all of them and, in fact, as you know all too well, jim, he has been relatively soft on their autocratic leaders. take russia, for example, we have heard specifically from the president's son, eric trump, back in 2014 talking about the reliance on russia. he said, quote, we don't rely on american banks. we have all the funding we need out of russia. now today eric trump denied that saying top trump officials have not been able to explain the president's deference to president putin of russia. we heard most recently from the former director of national security, we spoke with the author and journalist bob woodward. he writes, coates continued to harbor the secret belief, one that had grown rather than lessened although unsupported by intelligence proof, that putin had something on trump. how else to explain the president's behavior. coats could see no other explanation. that is the fear, jim, a foreign country would be exploiting trump's debt for their advantage. now of course the president doesn't get a security clearance himself. he's the president. but he has a

>> well, i'm concerned about it, jim, for this reason. the russians didn't appear to do anything about the voter registration rolls and things like that but what that could have been is gaining knowledge of the battle space, if pull, for some future action, messing with voter registration rolls, messing with the process for computing and compiling votes, so, yeah, it does worry me. >> yeah. >> and, of course, the russians have gone to school on what we've revealed about what they did in 2016 so as i have said earlier i think they are -- their hackses are going to be harder to detect, so, yeah, i'm concerned. >> well, director clapper, thanks so much for your views. thanks as well for your service to this country, including in the days and years after 9/11. >> thanks, jim. thanks for having me. >> poppy, back for you. >> really good to have his voice, especially today and, jim, especially in this moment. ahead for us, we're going to talk about colleges and universities. as you know, many are working feverishly to figure out the best way to

jim. >> well, okay, out of touch meaning they can't reach a compromise. >> okay. >> not that somebody hashe right number and somebody has the wrong, but there should be some way to get people to be targeted i mean, look, not everybody -- not everybody needs a bonus, right, just industries that are closing. carl, back to you. >> jim, we're going to head to delivering alpha, the treasury secretary with our becky quick >> -- writ large is what's going to happen in terms of another financial aid package? we have millions of americans who are out of work, businesses small and large that are in crisis at this point through no fault of their own will we see another financial package to aid them before election day >> well, the president and i are working hard on a bipartisan proposal i spoke to speaker flossy several times over the weekend, we had a conversation for about an hour yesterday, going through different aspects of it, and i expect i will come back with her later this afternoon and we will deliver a response so i think we will have a very reasonable response, something that's very simi

well jim sells a license to see music as not something that was fixed but rather malleable. gabrielle the montero is also known for her political commitment she's a strong critic of the regime in her home country of venezuela. the. people often asked me why i became involved why do i talk about politics and such things that i share sometimes if you were to look at my social media inbox you would see hundreds if not thousands of stories of venezuelans who have shared with me countless stories of horror of exile of murder kidnap starvation family members dying for lack of medicine the most basic human needs are not. enjoyed by the whole country. big so when you live but music is a great amplifier and magnifier of underlying motivations is example of using the beautiful tool of music to tell a story to raise awareness and to leave an imprint in history telling us today what he went in he lived through at the time. is something that's valid for all generations i think it was a great example of someone who not only some music as. a tool for joy or a tool for for static beauty but

>> well, jim, you had a misstatement in your question right there.n amounts are far, far below the actual value of the property and in fact he's very leveraged -- he's leveraged a at small amount. >> so he does have $400 million in debt? >> i told you it's probably in the public disclosures and the president remains under audit and for the last ten years he's been under audit. i have answered this question seven times so if you want to keep spending our time here on cnn on the one singular question, keep doing it over and over again. >> today the u.s. debts have surpassed $205 million. i asked you half a dozen team if the president took any responsibility for these losses. your answer was i'm quoting you, the president has accepted responsibility for being the one who is in charge of the unprecedented american response to this. does the president take any personal responsibility for the loss of life in this country? >> the president is responsible for taking early action, restricting travel from china which saved thousands of lives which we know that

jim has a very well-deserved day off.ough fears that the fun some are having this holiday weekend is just going to lead to another surge in covid cases. scenes of

well he he was like the day of kramer for the jim beam or the jim cramer you know with those green or and you know i mean i mean this is jim cramer had a plastic camera as well during his in told us you know that jon stewart who was big on cable to he was a comedian who was on t.v. for a while he ripped james cramer apart in an interview and expose. because he admits he likes to manipulate prices james kramer and he has a tape of him saying this and jon stewart replated for him and he felt quite embarrassed but so this is just a repeat of that scene and so who will be the new dave portland's somebody is in the wings will be the new dave portnoy i might add in response to his 3 f on this one tesla announces $5000000000.00 at the market stock sale so certainly iran must did a good job as the c.e.o. dumping on chumps on robin hood out following day fortnight so they dumped right there and the stock. market composition i believe triggered a vesting schedule for him that's worth hundreds of billions of dollars alternately . perhaps so he's and the lot of innuendo and allegations of manipul

well, jim, the fda has just rejected the application to use oleandrin as a dietary supplement. they say that they had significant concerns surrounding its safety. jim? >> all right, good to know that, cnn's nick watt, thank you very much for that. let's get more on the bombshell report the president is furious about. joining us now is the former defense secretary. thank you for joining us so much. we appreciate it. what is your reaction to this report from "the atlantic" among other things the president called fallen u.s. soldiers losers and suckers? i suppose your time at the pentagon you never heard anything like this. >> no. and i never heard language coming out of pt president of the united states that i've heard from this president. i thought it was really curious today where he would like to have his psychiatrist examine joe biden for why he wants to wear a mask. i would say, mr. president, you first. let's have a psychiatrist examine you as to why you won't. and i think that we'll go from there. the problem is that what joe biden is trying to do is to save lives by weari

by the 20th century, jim crow society was well-established north and south in the united states and theest for that matter. their tradition, however -- the tradition, however, of the response to that jim crow society, of efforts to expand civil rights for african americans had continued since the late 19 century well through the early parts of the 20th entry. by the 1950's and 60's, just after world war ii where african-americans served in the military and came home to a segregated society that did not accept them entirely, the notion of a concerted biracial movement grew and took on more added energy and strength. on the other side of this white only door, we have instances of violence against african-americans who were act is in the civil rights movement before there was a civil rights movement. in the 1940's and 50's, act of -- activist constantly tried to put pressure on white society to allow greater civil activity for african-americans, economic rights, legal rights, but particularly voting rights. one of the major proponents of voting rights in florida was moore and his wife harr

ticked all these parent companies chinese owned forces a security threats the company denies this well jim anderson is a tech analyst and the c.e.o. of social flow he says tech talk has a number of obstacles to overcome before it can secure its place in the u.s. markets. i think the big challenge here is you know it buys them a little bit of time but it's unclear what the end game is you know tick tock is ultimately really a pawn on the chess board between the u.s. and china and i say that with no disrespect it's just you know this is a geopolitical issue between the united states and china and to happens to be caught in the middle and you know they're doing everything they can because their very existence as a company is being threatened your pretty significantly said the u.s. is their 2nd largest market so better to get this injunction today and get the state to try to fight this out and to try to work out the deal with oracle and wal-mart over the next week or 2 the overall concern is that tick tock is owned by dance which is a chinese company and chinese companies are subject to the au

jim is telling us here. it all comes down to which is what he likes, right, the president, i mean, it's sort of his playbook. >> welljim just compared it to an episode of "apprentice" a few minutes ago. the head of instagram just wrote just now about the idea of an outright ban on the 12th of november after the election. i've said this before, but u.s. tiktok ban would be quite bad for instagram, facebook and the internet more broadly. what can we read into that, the idea that the chinese would respond in ways we haven't yet talked about >> yeah, i think that's the case because there's a terrific note out today that talks about how well reels is doing for walmart -- i'm sorry, for facebook that is absolutely a competitor to tiktok. morgan stanley says that they're doing amazingly well and that this is one of the fastest growing properties that they have, reels has gone from 0 to 34% in 40 days it's having what they're saying is basically, hey, look, we want this competitor because we want to keep china open facebook, by the way, has never been a big fan they've always said that if the source code and the algorithms

>> caller: hi, how are you doing, jim >> doing well. how about you?oh, couldn't be better. >> okay. that's great. >> caller: i'm wondering can i ask the question >> sure. >> caller: i'm thinking about investing in the walt disney company. do you think that's a good thing or bad thing -- >> no, i think it's a great thing. i'm so sick of hearing about the doubt. now, like china. i remember, what happen -- now we own china with disneyland so give me a break. we're the winners, not the losers, and that ladies and gentlemen, is the conclusion of the lightning round. >> announcer: the lightning round is sponsored by td ameritrade take off. take off. you downloaded the td ameritrade mobile app so you can quickly check the markets? yeah, actually i'm taking one last look at my dashboard before we board. excellent. and you have thinkorswim mobile- -so i can finish analyzing the risk on this position. you two are all set. have a great flight. thanks. we'll see ya. ah, they're getting so smart. choose the app that fits your investing style. ♪ makes it beautiful.

>> reporter: well, jim, it was fascinating.l, woodward has also been placed on defense, with people asking you if he was deliberately downplaying the violence, why did you not release these earlier? he said he didn't realize the import of what heeard. by the end of the reporting, he had concluded that president donald trump was the wrong man of the job. he related that president donald trump said to him in the white house there's always dynamite behind the door, woodward said president donald trump is himself the dynamite. then when he related to the president it was going to be a tough back and he emphasized that to the president, he said shortly after that the president tweeted out that the book was going to be fake. now, that inability to tolerate and process dissent and criticism is something that president donald trump has shared with authoritarian leaders around the world and he told bob woodward he gets along with authoritarians better than a lot of other world leaders. take a listen. >> i get along very well with u --

[laughter] annette: well -- jim: so i am looking at the questions.we have a lot of questions, we cannot get to all of them. i am just going to pull some out randomly. not quite randomly. someone has suggested that maybe, especially given that we are supposedly a nation with democratic values, maybe we should not build memorials of people. maybe our memorials should not have people. annette: you know, i was just about to say, maybe monuments are a thing of the past. we don't seem to do them very well. [laughs] very few new statues that i look at am i impressed. some people have done them well. maybe that could be it. maybe, you know. [crosstalk] david: emancipation is not a person, it is an epic historical process. it is a pivot of american history. it is the greatest result of the civil war, but not a single person by any means. annette: yes. yeah. david: nor are things like industrialization. annette: but it still does not answer the question about what do we do with the ones already there? because there are people, members of our community who admi

. >> reporter: well, you're right, jim. he's downplaying it right up to the present moment, but what we hear on these tapes with bob woodward is the president from very early on in the crisis telling bob woodward that he knew it was at least five times deadlier than a serious flu, that it affected young people as well as older people, but that he decided deliberately not to emphasize those facts to the public because he wanted to keep americans calm. take a listen. >> now it's turning out it's not just old people, bob, but today and yesterday some startling facts came out. it's not just older people. >> yeah, exactly. >> plenty of young people. >> give me a moment of talking to somebody going through this with fauci or somebody who kind of caused a pivot in your mind because it's clear, just from what's on the public record that you went through a pivot on this to oh, my god, the gravity is almost inexplicable and unexplainable. >> i think, bob, really to be honest with you -- >> sure, i want you to be. >> i want -- i wante

wells fargo is a turnaround restructuring story. i don't have many of these in my portfolio. i probably have about five in my portfolio. this is one of them -- or both of them. >> jim, i'll give you a crack at both of these here the axp call to sell and then i know you don't love wells here i'll give you the floor. >> i like the american express sell call. it's about needing a vaccine it's a travel name a leisure name then again i think that there are a lot of banks that have come down. i do think if you think it's the cheapest but i thought the call made sense when it comes to -- rather than go over the insensitive comments from charlie, which we all know, and he has apologized for, i want to point to an essay written by my friend ray mcgwire closing the racial inequality gaps it's extraordinary it's from citi chairman of banking and capital mortgage advisory. it's remarkable about what has to happen in this country and how, just to be sure because it's about economics, the economic costs of black inequality in the united states and how horrible it is that we have so many people who have been left behind i urge people to read this it has a lot about what dr. king

. >> reporter: well, that's absolutely right, jim.ant to step out so you can see how far back this line goes. it's about two football fields here. keep in mind, this is a huge government building in fairfax, virginia, the biggest county here, and they are at capacity inside of the building. now, they are trying to keep people outside socially distansd, but as you can see it's difficult particularly given the fact that this line is so enormous. once they actually get inside the building there's still at least an hour and a half wait. we have talked to several of these voters about why it is that they chose to show up early. many of them saying they knew it was going to be a very big election, that it was critical. that there was going to be a lot of interest. they wanted to be one of the first people to cast their ballot, but we also heard about mistrust of the postal service. take a listen to this. >> i don't trust the mail right now. that's why. >> so you're going to vote in person? >> if i have to stand here today, i'm going to vote

jim? >> well, i think at those social distances they know what they're doing and following the protocols. together and obviously are either in quarantine together, living together or know each other's health and behavior habits. i think it's safe. places like indianapolis are allowing 2500 fans in the stadium seats more than 70,000. i think it's safe. i think that they have the seats locked down so you couldn't run and switch seats or go to another area and security in there. the normal you -- ushers and so forth. i think it's fine. >> trace: these are the canaries in the coal mine? see if there were outbreaks and then maybe the nfl make decisions and maybe see more people in stadiums around the league? what do you think? >> yes, i think they're evaluating on a week-by-week basis. some of these places have said probably not for the season. they open up a $5 billion stadium for the rams and cowboys and chargers play the next weekend and they've said that they aren't expecting to have fans at all this season. same with new york and some other municipalities. i think they will have to see wh

well, good friday morning to you. it is quite a morning in this country. i'm jim sciutto. >> i'm poppy harlow. just moments from now, the trail blazing late justice ruth bader ginsburg is set to make history again. soon she will leave the supreme court for the final time and she will be taken to the u.s. capitol rotunda and will lie in state. remarkably, it makes her the first woman and the first jewish person to receive such an honor. considered the highest in the nation. we'll bring the ceremonies to you live. so it will be a really meaningful morning and you will see it all right here. >> i think you want to witness it. also this morning, and this is disturbing. president trump is digging in, refusing to commit to a peaceful transition of power if he loses in november. unrelenting in his mission to sow doubt about the integrity of the election. >> so we have to be very careful with the ballots. the ballots, that's a whole big scam. we want to make sure that the election is honest i'm not sure it can be. i don't know that it can be with this whole situation, unsolicited ballots. millions bei
