good morning, maggie haberman. up to this news that facebook, for the first time, they have never done this before, with a post on coronavirus or anything the president said on coronavirus, took down an improve that the president did where he said that children were immune to coronavirus. it's interesting that this is where facebook jumped in. >> so, john, there were to warning shots fired by social media companies yesterday over something the president said on fox news about children being quote/unquote, almost immune to the coronavirus, which isn't true. facebook took down this post of the interview and of the comment and twitter briefly froze the president's re-election campaign's account. there was some misinformation last night that it was actually his account. it was not his account. it would have been a huge deal if they had done that. but this was, i would say, trying to fire some kind of warning shot at him to let him and his campaign to know that they are moving in that direction. whether we will see this

maggie haberman, and cnn political commentator, jen psaki. she's a former white house communications director, under president obama. and jen, i want to start with you. because what we heard from president obama last night was the likes of which we have never heard before from a former president or from president obama. there were moments where it looked like he was emotional to the points of tearing up. what do you see, jen. what do you think drove it and what do you think the impact will be? >> that's right, john. and i worked for him for ten years and you don't see that emotional outcry frequently or that emotion on his face. i can only remember a couple of times over the course of the long period of time that i worked for him. but i think what we saw last night was somebody who, you know, a former president who had a lot of pent-up feelings and emotions about what he's seen over the last four years. he has picked his moments very carefully to speak out against trump over the last few years on purpose, but this was bigger than a political

joining us now is maggie haberman from "the new york times" and maggie, obviously, the president hasg in to the message of law and order for this convention. even before the convention. the president and people at the convention are talking about chaos in the streets. this is a twist though potentially in wisconsin because some of the shootings this morning and the deaths may be connected to people in a way with the same law and order message taking law and order into their own hands. i wonder how this complicates what the president will say this morning if anything. >> it's a great question, and i think you'll continue to hear him say the same thing as if this not -- you know as well as i do, nuance is not particularly how he handles these moments. so i don't think that he's going to look to say, on twitter where we'll hear from him for the most part, about this today. you know, this is a different group of people who are taking advantage and whose message we normally support. i think he'll use it as another attempt to tar the protesters with a broad brush and to suggest why this is

also, maggie haberman. sanjay gupta. jim, can you just lay out the president's -- what he is saying the plan, from his side, is? not actually enacting executive action. he is just saying what he will do if congress doesn't reach an agreement, is that correct? >> that's what it sounds like, so far, anderson, based on the president's remarks he is laying down, essentially another warning to democrats on capitol hill if they don't come to an agreement with white house officials on some kind of a way forward on a coronavirus relief bill, he is going to take executive action. he is talking about extending these enhanced unemployed benefits. an and, as well as, putting in place some kind of moratorium on evictions in this country. it's unclear how the president can do any of those things through executive action. which may be one of the reasons he didn't take those actions this evening. but it's worst pointing out the president was continuing to engage in this sort of magical suspension. he was talking about how the virus was

joining us now, maggie haberman. i love the times coverage. i'm going to he'd to you from axios because it's in front of me this morning. >> i appreciate that. >> they said that the convention provided an alternative narrative where the president masterfully deflected covid, he's popular with black americans, and joe biden is a menacing leftist. it's the idea of this revisionist history. now, i'm not saying it won't be effective, maybe it is. how do you assess how it landed last night? >> it is clear a minutist history. republicans have known if the election is about the coronavirus, that the president is in trouble. so it's an effort to try to focus attention elsewhere and to praise his response. and there's a continued focus on his limited ban on travel from china that the president instituted that he -- at the end of the january that he's continually treated as a mission accomplished moment as if that's all he had to do. john, the thing i was most struck by last night were these personal testimonials about the president that were clearly de

with us to share some reporting and insights, maggie haberman of "the new york times." there is a tragedy in portland, we're far from it, we'll wait for the details there. this comes at just this already incredibly fragile moment in the country and in the campaign. we know the president plans to go to kenosha on tuesday. a lot of democratic and african-american leaders there say, sir, please don't. now you have somebody shot dead in portland, the city the president is focused on perhaps the most. >> that's exactly right. look, john, this comes right on the heels of the convention where the president talked up law and order as his theme. you have seen the president repeatedly embrace police officers, we heard him condemn the protesters, last night tweeted an account that described the protests as a coup against him. it is not language that is used in this country about elections, which is what is coming. so the president, look, there are going to be questions electorally about him trying to change the subject from the coronavirus, there are questions about what joe biden

we'll see. >> jim acosta, maggie haberman, sanjay. >>> the pandemic is disappearing. i'll show you photos again of bedminster's patrons gathered around. a news reporter with routers gathered clearly not social distancing, wearing masks and the white house staff began handing out masks which began after reporters were tweeting out pictures of the lack of the mask wearing. joining us is a fellow infectious disease society of america and chair of the hiv medicine association and cnn chief medical correspondent sanjay gupta is back. dr. feinberg, you'd like to see masks across america as would many people, those people currently wearing masks and wish everybody was on board with that. what do you make of what you saw in bedminster before they were suddenly handed masks? >> i thought that was extremely discouraging. being an infectious disease physician, masks are the most effective tool we have right now in addition to social distancing to get any control of this terrible pandemic. as you already noted, next week we'll have 5 million cases in the united states. we have al

the pulitzer prize is worthless as far as i'm concerned because when you have maggie haberman getting a pulitzer prize and she had it all wrong. i haven't spoken to her in forever. she is like my biographer, like she does everything about me. she knows nothing about me. they talk about they have sources. they don't have sources. they are made up. they make them up in their mind. they have no sources. if you look at "the times" and i guess "the washington post," they got pulitzer prizes and they were totally wrong and they got them i guess i guess before the end result and there was no collusion then now this things turns out to be a total hoax and now he finds out that we caught obama-biden, that's why i didn't think susan rice could get it because she's part of this whole illegal thing that happened which is one of the worst perhaps the worst political scandal in the history of our country. and they got caught. now let's see what happens. they are caught red-handed. the riders got pulitzer prizes and that shows you a bowl of surprises worthless and frankly you want to start a positio

jonathan, you and maggie haberman broke the story. there's two parts. mt.ether or not there's discussions of dropping mike pence from the ticket and putting in the republican governor of south dakota. there's no reality here, right? >> so the president has been telling the governor of south dakota for the last three years that he wants to be added to mt. rushmore and said she thought he was kidding in 2017 but she realized pretty fast he was serious about it so you fast forward to last year, the white house reaches out to the office of the governor saying what is the procedure for adding new images to mt. rushmore. this is a serious thing and the governor to her credit seeing an opportunity realizes that the president really cares about rushmore and what a great tourism opportunity it could be for my state to have the president come for july fourth and when he does get out there last month she presents him with a four-foot likeness of mount rushmore with a filth face on the mountain. you're right, donald trump. >> i mean, there's so many ways to go with thi

joining me now maggie haberman and francesca. one of the smart points you make consistently is that the president is driven by the 2016 map. he knows how he won last time and surprised everybody and focuses almost obsessively on that planning this campaign, including listen here to a bit, the trump campaign knows the president won't bin the african-american vote but getting more votes for him, drive joe biden's total down a little bit in the right places it can help. >> i take it as a personal insult that people would think i have had a 37-year friendship with a racist. >> the democratic party doesn't want black people to leave their mental plantation. >> america is not a racist country. >> joe biden said black people are a monolithic community. >> pretty striking night, one response to the democratic convention, clearly. >> yes, john, but i think it is not just about trying to shave off some slim at the margins percentages of joe biden's totals among black voters but tell suburban white voters that the president they may feel un

. >> with me now the white house correspondent for "the new york times" maggie haberman. there was commentary of dr. birx and dr. birx would roam the halls of the white house talking, sometimes passing out diagrams. we have hit the peak and the message back to mr. trump and said putting out the embers and wording picked up be the press secretary and by mr. trump himself. it is a well documented, well reported piece. she decided when asked about speaker pelosi i guess maybe she is learning from the president to lash out at "the time." >> sure, john. thank you for reading from the story we did which ran a few weeks ago. i think it is unfortunate she chose not to talk to us. to have her speak to us and want people's voices included. she made the choice not to and then unhappy within her story and not within the rights to falsely suggest we didn't try to reach her which we did and in terms of the word pollyanna we did not call her that in the story but the issue is with her colleagues in the story because the reporting is from people who were frustrated with her, whether she

. >> joining us now, cnn political analyst, maggie haberman, a columnist for "the new york times." but first off, dr. sanjay gupta. sanjay, we want to start with you, not just because you have a medical disagree, but i want to know what you were thinking as you were looking at the south lawn last night and seeing all of those people sitting side by side for so long with no masks and to hear after it, the white house explanation is it, you know, we'll all get it eventually. >> you know, what i thought of, and i've been covering this for so many months now, that the history books will be written about this chapter in our lives at some point and it will show events like that and say that in the middle of a pandemic, at a time when the country decided to shut down, when there were roughly 5,000 people infected and at a time when there were 5 million infected, we started having events like that again. i mean, it's really frustrating, it's mind boggling, and i think it shows certain segments of the population still have not learned or are paying attention to what this virus is. the virus
