senator lamar alexander, who also is retiring at the end of the term but listen to what he said yesterdaybout dr. fauci when the president attacked him. dr. fauci is one of our country's most distinguished public servants, if more americans paid attention to his advise we'd have fewer cases of covid-19 and it would be savfer to go back to school and eat out. meaningful or lip service? >> again, lamar alexander, voted against hearing from witnesses in the impeachment -- >> i'm asking about fauci. >> i understand that. but you're asking about whether it's too late. donald trump fighting with dr. fauci is obviously malpractice he's a font of misinformation when it comes to the covid-19 crisis. but that should be table stakes, that's just a statement of truth. >> to your point, post impeachment you had folks like senator collins say the president learned a lesson here. we've seen the president applied pressure internationally to his perceived advantage at home. we have another debate as poppy was saying in a couple days, with new rules a mute button at least active for the first couple of min

is looking for another term after the retirement of long time congressman lamar smith. >> live from san antonio, this is a you are voice, your vote congressional debates between chip roy and wendy davis for u.s. district 21. >> good evening cared welcome to this your voice, your vote congressional debate. i am randy beamer with news 4 san antonio. we are doing this in partnership with san antonio chamber of commerce. flock san antonio ryan wolf is also here. ryan: we are live here and also live fuming the debate on our website. randy: we will be broadcasting for half an hour on tv. we will extend that on the web. right now, we want to introduce you to the candidates. first in the studio, joining us live, is the incumbent for district 21, republican congressman chip roy. ryan: and we want to introduce, from austin tonight, democrat wendy davis. she is a former state senator who ran for governor. both candidates were given the chance for an in studio appearance. thetor davis opted to do debate remotely due to the pandemic. the district includes much of the hill country and part of san ant

. >> i get that that passes from courage, that statement from senator lamar alexander who is not up for re-election and can really honestly say whatever he wants. he has plenty of money, he's a respected figure. why not just say, president trump, stop attacking anthony fauci. stop lying about anthony fauci. what is the reason -- i get, like -- i get that some republicans on the hill are just complete sycophants, like gates or whatever, but there are others who know better, lamar alexander among them. why not just say, stop attacking anthony fauci, donald trump? >> that's a really good question and something we've been asking for the last four years. talking to the people who have had to navigate president trump for the first term of his office. they don't want to become the target of attacks. you have seen what happened to senator republicans who have been pretty blunt and aggressive against the president. bob corker and jeff flake among them. >> former senator bob corker and former senator jeff flake. >> exactly. if you want some sort of career after president trump or some sort of leg

lamar alexander is correct. and the trump campaign told us he's correct by including tony fauci in the campaign ads. the president at this point is trying to affirm his own world view, reassure himself he's not bungled this so he's talking to people within a bubble that is separate from the facts and reality of the situation. >> john harwood at the white house. appreciate the reporting and the insights. joining the conversation now, medical analyst dr. lina wen. people say this is politics, everyone is talking politics but when you look at the case count, the trajectory, the states with a high positivity rate, some of them remarkably high, it's important that people watching at home understand who can i trust. i want to trust, this is dr. collins again, the nih director, as you may be hearing conflicting voices i think you should be listening to these people. >> trust the public health exper experts. they don't have an ax to grind. trust cdc, trust fauci, trust the folks at the fda trying to do their jobs. they

that was also the same time i met a young guy named lamar alexander who left the senate to go down to the white house to work in congressional affairs. so i've had an opportunity for quite a long time to observe the confirmation process through various ups and downs, periods when nominees were confirmed almost overwhelmingly and periods during which they were heated, to put it mildly, contests over the nomination. what i think i can safely say about the senate over the last 40 or 50 years is that it's in an assertive period. in other words, viewing the whole process as a joint thing that the president has a role to play and the senate has a role to play and at various times in the history of our country, the senate's been pretty passive about it and at other times they've been pretty aggressive about it. but the constitution is clear, the senate has a role if it chooses to exercise it. rarely have we ever had a nominee as extraordinary as the one we have before us right now. we've had a chance to witness this outstanding nominee. we've watched her in committee. she's demonstrated she

senator lamar alexander, who is retiring we should note, put out a statement today distancing himself from the president's remarks, calling fauci a distinguished public servant and saying that if more people did what fauci said there would be fewer cases of covid here in the united states. but of course notice that lamar alexander does not mention why he is tweeting that today, doesn't mention the president's attacks, though of course no one around the president thinks he's going to slow down those attacks anytime soon. even though politically they don't think they're smart. >> thank you very much, kaitlan. and let's go now to dr. jonathan reiner, who is a white house medical adviser under george w. bush. our chief political analyst gloria borger and professor william haseltine who did groundbreaking research on hiv/aids and is the author of the upcoming memoir "my lifelong fight against disease from polio and aids to covid-19." so gloria, here we are two weeks before the election and trump is calling dr. fauci an idiot saying to the reporters bring it on, basically it would be even w

republican senator lamar alexander said if more americans paid attention to fauci's advice we would have fewer cases of covid and it would be safer to go back to school and work. now, former vice president joe biden had far tough err words for president trump today. he released a statement in that he says, "the american people are tired. they're tired of your lies about this virus. they're tired of watching more americans die and lose their jobs because you refuse to take this pandemic seriously." norah? >> o'donnell: ben tracy, thank you. and with just 15 days to go before the election our cbs news battleground tracker poll shows joe biden maintaining his en maintaining hisr president electoral lead over presi trump with an estimated 279 estimated 279 electoral votes compared to the president's 163. now, one of those toss up states is arizona where the president held two rallies today and biden stays off the trail for four days of debate prep. here's cbs' ed o'keefe. >> reporter: president trump made his sixth campaign trip to arizona today hoping to turn the tide against joe biden who

we did have funding in there for testing and vaccines, significant amounts of money negotiated by lamar alexander, the chairman of the health, education, labor, and pensions committee. but if that's what they want to do, let's start there, and then they can have an opportunity to debate it and offer amendments. but they blocked even getting on the bill. so when he says we ought to have a debate, all they had to do was let us get on the bill and then we could be offering up and discussing these various amendments they want to offer. but i would argue that all the things that our bill includes are things that are important to the american people. it was a target bill. it was a fiscally responsible bill. and the, yes, it got 52 out of 53 republicans to vote or for it. not a single democrat. why? because the democrats have an all-or-nothing approach and they want to hold this process hostage to get a left-wing agenda of items included in the legislation. many of which -- which -- wellcome of which have no -- many of which have no relationship to coronavirus. so the leader's point -- the and

earlier i spoke to scott lamar, radio host of smart talk in the state capital, to tell us more aboutin 2016 had hillary clinton leading president trump, then candidate trump, by about the same margin as joe biden leads the president now but things are different on the ground. you get the feeling that it's just not the same thing. for one thing, job biden is a much more popular candidate and hillary clinton was and the president has pretty much stayed around that 40% — 45% approval rating here in pennsylvania. 0ur analysts suggesting polls were misleading in 2016 perhaps because there were more undecided voters and they broke quite late in the campaign for president trump which was a surprise to many people. this time there seem to be many fewer people undecided. i would say probably the least percentage of undecided voters that i've ever seen in a presidential election. i saw one pole tonight that said 1.5% of voters are undecided. that seems aweful low to me with three weeks to go but i can tell you that all the polls show there are very few undecided voters right now. most voters h

it is sip lamar to what -- it is based on honor and tradition which tom freedman as being described asitself is not amended. >> absolutely. >> it is not unconstitutional. it is about the recent appointment in the supreme court. many things you know are not unconstitutional because the civil did not mention it. and also norms and conditions. i warned about trump's gradually removing them from his way back in 2016 because that's what's differentically dond typically done. trump removing people that are of the american democracy. he replaced them in ways of enable enablers. and they are loyal to trump more than they are loyal to american constitution and to the very based of american daughter or son democracy that presidents democrats, republicans, over 200 plus years, stayed intact. >> and it's one of the things that i think is so interesting about what you're saying. it's not, overnight there are armored personnel carriers surrounding the white house and moving in on television stations as happens in some places when there's a coup. but that democracy can die in a much longer tiny baby

she met with senators lamar alexander and roy blunt this morning and was scheduled to meet with severalther republican senators in the afternoon. one of the big headlines about tomorrow night's debate here concerns what will not be said or heard. organizers say they will be able to cut microphones during some parts of the event to avoid kind of free-for-all that occurred in the first debate in their words. correspondent peter doocy is here with us tonight in nashville for a look at the ground rules. >> peter: we already know how one candidate reacts when his microphone cuts out. >> this mic is terrible. >> peter: tomorrow night he knows what is coming. a muted night for the first two minutes joe biden gets to talk in each of the segments and when it's president trump's turn to talk joe biden's mic will be muted too. >> i think it's a good idea. i think there should be more limitations on us not interrupting. >> biden gets two minutes uninterrupted, trump gets two minutes uninterrupted then there are nine more minutes per segment. the commission writes. >> peter: will biden even use all

you can follow those tracks very, very clearly and they point you in the poll lamar opp of what ruth bader ginsburg stood for her whole life. >> there is not a path where the judge did not get confirmed, is that correct? >> that's a different path, anderson. i made that point yesterday in my opening that we don't have clever procedural tricks with the way the rules are. i don't think you will see incredible cross-examination that's going to change the pra je trajectory of this judge. one thing can change is the american people. people who have had it, thinking we should be working on a relief cov covid packet instead of sitting in that hearing room. this is what you should be doing right now. the people should choose the president and the president should choose the justice and get a covid package relief done. i think many of them have and where this judge is coming from, if anything it should want to make them want to vote. >> we need a different leader of the senate and different senate. >> senator klobachar, we appreciate your time. >> thank you, anderson. >>> a kidnapping focusin

lamar alexander tweeted in defense of ronald fauci. attention, we would have fewer cases. but this strikes me as a political calculation that some distance with the president is probably needed right now. >> well, sure. i mean, when you look at it, there are people who are in the trap a few years ago. he couldn't win being against trump and he couldn't win being for trump. gardner is the same way and i think jonie ernst is in the same spot. i thought president obama was doing the right thing. he may say that was okay for you politically, but it also is good for your sole. do it in real time. annie applebalm wrote a great piece in the atlantic. in the end she interviewed people who fought the nazis, fought the communists. her line, they risked everything. they risks their life. the only thing these people risk in defense of our democracy is their re-election. that's cowardness at the highest level. >> yeah. kelly loaugh ler in georgia. she has a challenge from doug collins. this was a debate with eight candidates today and she was asked

they were on a conference call with steve mnuchin and mark meadows and you had someone like lamar alexanderer who's soft spoken, don't speak out often saying, quote, there was no appetite for going that high among senate republicans. so this leads to the question of would pelosi and president trump cut a deal and force majority leader mitch mcconnell to have make a decision whether or not to bring it to the floor. you're getting a sense that some democrats in the house are getting frustrated by pelosi continuing to hold out. you have a tweet by a democrat from california saying, quote, people in need cannot wait until february, $1.8 trillion is significant and more than twice obama stimulus. it allows biden to start with infrastructure. quote, make a deal and put the ball in mcconnell's court. this speaks to all of the different members both on the republican side and the democratic side that are applying pressure to their leadership, trying to get them to make a deal. but like i said, poppy, no deal in sight yet. >> unbelievable. i cannot believe that we're still here. lauren, thank you ve

departing chair of health education labor and pensions lamar alexander is 80.s is ranking committee member patrick leahy. i could go on and on, but i think you get the picture. it's an unique phenomenon. the typical eu leader has actually gotten younger. think of france's emmanuel macron only 42. austria's sebastian kerrs, 34. canadian prime minister justin trudeau, 48. north korea's leader kim jong-un believed to be 36. and new zealand's prime minister jacinda ardern who just won an election in a landslide, 40. most countries have only minimum age requirements on the books from as young as 18 and as old as 45. as adam taylor has pointed you out in "the washington post" the few limits there can be strategically ignorechina's xi jinping now 67, widely expected to flout beijing's retirement age to continue for a third term or outright appeal it. and happened in turkmenistan and uganda by legal means. all must retire at 70 and in the philippines, government employees have a mandatory retirement age of 65. but neither applies to presidents. brazil's president befor

lamar alexander said nobody's interested to getting to a deal when you have millions of americans out of work, you know, unemployed and needing money right now. >> the president pronounced it dead and then had a panic attack because the stock market plunged. now he wants a deal but senate republicans say no dice. mitch mcconnell said he didn't see it happening. there was a brutal conference call apparently earlier today with senate republicans basically saying that they're not going to go along with this spending, this price tag. the president seems to have lost his magic because a lot of times he could push the senate into doing what he wants, but it doesn't seem like they'll be compelled this time, which is odd because the polls say that american people want this, they don't want the supreme court nomination right now. >> heidi przybilla, michael steele, felipe, thank you. appreciate you joining me. coming up next, the confirmation of kamala harris hitting home in one area in particular. >> reporter: in south florida, there is great pride for senator harris in caribbean american com
