margaret: let's go to andy card. you know what it's like to be chief, to be in that job in a moment of extreme national crisis. what do you do on a morning like this? andy: well, first of all, i pray for the president and the first lady. i don't care what your political stripe is or what your philosophy is or bias, maybe. we all pray that the president and the first lady will recover quickly and be able to meet their response abilities. responsibilities. i also point out that the white house has to keep everything working no matter what's going on. the first responsibility for a chief of staff is to make sure that people in the white house have confidence to be able to do their job and give them andission to do their job not try to jump into somebody bye's lane or be distracted current events or distracted by the president's inability to attend meetings that he normally would attend. so, just having discipline, i think, and confidence and a steady hand makes a big difference. it's also important for the chief of staf

that is not by accident, margaret. that is by a concerted effort by the civil rights organizations to ensure that people are confident in their ballot. we are also encouraging, obviously, people to vote by mail. but they are not wrong when they instinctually feel that their vote may not be counted fully. coming into the election, i would predict that we will see not only a surge of voting by all-americans, but it is the patient's we will need -- patience we will need post-november 3 to ensure that every single ballot is counted properly. places like wisconsin and pennsylvania, for example, they will not count their balance until november 3, so you can imagine this nailbiter of an election where these two key battleground states, we will not know, possibly, for a week or two. margaret: you are encouraging voters to put on protective masks -- ms. kumar: masks. my whole spiel is wear a mask, bring a snack, bring water, and bring your favorite playlist, because, in some places, it is going to take you longer. but this shou

. >> margaret, great to be with you. looking forward to talking about some pretty important stuftoday. >> well, it's a privilege to welcome you back for this special edition of "firing line senator, you were recently quoted in the new york times as saying... as we sihere right now, are foreign adversaries trying to interfere in our election? >> yes, absolutely. there's no doubt about it. russia in the lead. iran seems to be doing something. we're not sure exactly what. i don't think china is really engaged at this point. g iran is workound the margins, but russia's in, in a serious way. >> so what is the motivati, thensenator, for these foreign actors? >> well, there's somethingtw in common n iran, russia, and china. none of them like democracy. putin hates democracy. the idea of a free and open election terrifies him. they very much want to undermine our democracy and show the world that it doesn't really work. i think that's really the intent here. >> foreign actors is not a new theme.elections i would like to show you

>> good morning, margaret.om the rust belt to the sunbelt, two states that could be pivotal, let me show you what is going on. first of all, views on how the candidates handled themselves personally, joe biden with a significant edge on the president thre. always an important part of voters' calculus. let me show you this: such a big part of the president's base in wisconsin and other states has been that white non-college vote. he won them by a large gap in 2016. well, his margin with them this year is down. and in this case, in wisconsin, from 62% to 52%. you may say, he is still winning him. yes, he is. but for candidates it is about margins, about running up the score with groups that support you. joe biden cutting into those margins now. and then this, margaret, and it partly explains why: views that the president is mostly concerned about the wealthy and the elite as opposed to the middle class. now, neither candidate getting a majority saying they're concerned mostly with the middle class, but still an e

>> i don't know if it is an erosion or not, margaret.ly -- i think one of the things you're going to see over the next couple of weeks is that the president will be point of viebepivoting, and the president will be in the debate. let joe biden defend the economy, and defend why isis was running while. and let joe biden d.v.d. why he didn't want to go forward with the osama bin laden raid. those are the things that those voters are going to be listening to. i think it is really complicated. i don't think anyone can predict early voting and what is happening in the country. >> brennan: it is hard to predict, and it is incredible that we're in the midst of a pandemic that is shaping so much. how do you not address that, though? do you really believe that there is not a political cost to the deaths that we are seeing in this country? i look at wisconsin, where the president just had his rally, and the majority of likely wisconsin voters tell us the response is going badly. 49% of them say that the trump administration has hurt wisconsin's ef

>> good morning, margaret.ore toss-up states throughout the south, those polling leads very narrow, these states could go either way. let me show you why. starting with some dramatic differences in how voters are evaluating the candidates and the state of the country. first, look at concern about coronavirus. the majority of joe biden voters very concerned. much less so among trump voters. it is that coronavirus concern that has been driving votes towards joe biden throughout the summer and the fall. put that in context, margaret, for biden voters it is a major factor, along with personal character, where they see biden with an edge. less so for trump voters. for them, it is more about the economy and immigration, and maybe underscoring why opinions just haven't moved on all of this throughout. big differences in how people view the threats to the company. trump voters fearing that the country is becoming too socialist; biden voters it is becoming too authoritarian. so this race seems very locked in at the mome

you know, i don't think it's comparable, margaret. back then, to the best of my remembrance from my college and high school days, that that was just something that was destructive to everyone and democracy tended to collapse because of the disorder that left. we are not seeing that right now. we are seeing a good degree of divisiveness by some people who think this is not a problem and others that are seeing hundreds thousands of people dying. that's really the problem. we have got to pull together and be on the same wavelength that the enemy here is the virus. the enemy is not one side or the other of an argumen the only way to counter that is to do things together as a nation. that's the only way. we can't be fighting with each other if we're trying to contain a potentially historic outbreak. >> dr. fauci, thank you very much for being with us on "firing line." i appreciate your time. >> thank you very much, margaret. i appreciate you having me. >> announcer: "firing line with margaret hoover" is made possible in part by charles b.

margaret? >> brennan: mark, thank you.e polled likely voters in three states last week for our battleground tracker. in michigan, joe bid 52 to president trump's 46% support. in nevada, the same picture. mr. biden is up 52%, and mr. trump is at 46%. in iowa, a state that the president won easily back in 2016, this year it is tied with 49% each. cbs news elections and surveys director andrew anthony salvanto is in new york. what does this mean for the overall race? >> good morning, margaret. joe biden currently leads in our electoral college count, 279 to 163. somebody needs 270 to win. that's as of this moment. let's look at this state by state. you mentioned the states in the upper midwe michigan where biden is leading, iowa, where it is even. and then i'll toss in wisconsin, biden leading, and pennsylvania as well, all places that the president won in 2016, and he is even or trailing now. the reason that is important is broader picture, let's look at the sunbelt where florida is a toss-up, georgia, north carolina. even i

margaret: you all hope and you pray. what do you think happens on that constitutionally laid out date of january 20? >> i hope first of all -- this is going to be a different election for sure. i don't think anyone has a perfect crystal ball. when you hear people that you really expect, the chairman of the federal reserve using the word unknowable, that gives you some indication of the uncertainty we're living and notedg in, as you already in your opening comments. what you hope is there is a clear understanding and acceptance of the election results. and then from that, you start to move forward with the transition. that's the real question. margaret: denis mcdonagh, you were supposed to be involved in then president-elect obama's first intelligence briefing, and i am told by david mar check and his team of researchers that the cia was under instructions to only brief president-elect obama and no one else. do you know what happened during that meeting, that briefing? i mean, it occurs to me in a year when we have so man

i have a somewhat different view from margaret. i think what joe biden did last night was reassure voters. he didn't bring new voters but he gave reassurances that he's going to be a person that somebody can relate to. susan glasser i think had it right when she said it's mr. rogers on one side versus your nasty uncle on the other. one other point that's important. while it's true that -- you know, that neither side thinks they're going to win over many independents, but a lot now depends on turnout. and the democrats, even though the registration numbers over the last few years favor the republicans, the turnouts so far have been astonishing and they favor the democrats. i think if biden is -- he's not sitting on a lead but i think he's trying to solidify the kinds of people coming to the polls. >> margaret, i know it's probably really different in a pandemic, but if the phrase, you know, it's the economy stupid, still holds, at least to a certain extent, you have the president who still beats biden on the economy in polling or is

he was asked whether he thought margaret ferrier should stand down.r them to decide. but it's very important that everybody obeys the rules. and the guidance. because, you know, you saw what happened in march and april in scotland, across the country, we all came together and we got the virus down. alas, i think probably what happened since thenis think probably what happened since then is everybody got a bit, kind of, you know, complacent and a bit blase about the transmission. and the rules on social distancing were not perhaps obeyed in the way that they could have been, or enforced in a way that they could have been. and that's why we have had to put in measures both in scotland and elsewhere to help bring it down again. i hope that they will work, and we have to keep a very careful eye on it. we are also trying to perform this balancing act of keeping education going and the economy going as we can. it relies very much a people collectively doing the right thing. it must worry you if mps and advisers are so blata ntly you if mps and advisers are

i have been in politics for 25 years, margaret. i've won a lot of elections and lost a few and learned from those losses. i won the democratic nomination in 51 separate contests and i think i'll a reasonably likable guy. i'm serious. though i think i'm a little more lovable these days than i used to be back in my youth when i began in my state legislature. but i'm also a serious guy. i think the presidency of the united states is a very serious office and i think we have to address these issues in a very serious way. so, i hope and expect that i'll be liked by the people of this country as president of the united states. i certainly hope i'll be liked by them on the 8th of november. but i also think it's important to be somebody that is willing to make those tough choices. we just heard two or three times from the vice president he's not going to raise taxes. i repeat. within days after you made that pledge you broke it. you said well maybe as a last resort we'll do it and you supported legislation this year that's involved tax inc

>> you're exactly right, margaret.look at the great financial crisis,it took 10 years to rebuild the labor market, to reengage the workers, get them employed again and get the economy moving again. it is terrible for them and their families, but it also holds back the economy's potential. that's why more aggressive assistance now, to keep people reengaged, so our labor market can recovery more quickly is for those families, but actually for the economy as a whole. >> brennan: and any family is affected that has a child, clearly. when you were talking about who is getting hit, it's women, and it's also black and hispanic workers who have suffered the greatest number of job losses.t inequality -- is that something that the fed can fix? >> we cannot fix it alone. we can do our part by trying to make the labor market and the recovery as strong as we can, using our broad-based tools, like lower interest rates, but we don't have the ability to target the assistance to one group or one region or one sector. only congress can

you brought it up, margaret. it was just a week ago, of course, the iconic video where you see trump leaving the hospital. he returned to the white house. that was a produced event we all witnessed. we are learning, though, this is some of that moment. but we're now learning, as margaret just mentioned, when trump did want to leave the hospital "the times" reports he wanted to appear frail at first when people saw him but underneath his button-down dress shirt he would wear a superman t-shirt which he would reveal as a symbol of investment when he ripped open the top layer. people familiar telling "the times" he literally wanted to wear a superman shirt. how does that even get discussed as a potential reality show plan with doctors involved? social media, of course, has already been lighting up. the drudge report shows trump dramatically ripping his shirt open. another one not as flattering of trump as superman, filling out the costume a little differently, and then you have covid superman trump. that's courtesy

for now, margaret ferrier clings on in the face of overwhelming criticism. and azerbaijan has been breached within its first 24 hours. the azeri president has accused armenia of a war crime after an apartment block was shelled, killing several civilians. the long running dispute between the two countries is over the nagorno karabakh region. armenia says any attack was in response to air strikes launched from ganja — the city that was struck — from where our international correspondent orla guerin has sent this report. " let "let me see his face close" she begs, one last time. she's not alone in this desperate search. "let me see" is this woman, "is he from my family?" may the armenians die, she cries. this is what's left of her neighbourhood in ganja. azerbaijan's largest city, far from the front line but not far enough. at the scene, remnants of what is claimed as it listed missile. it is accusing armenia of a war crime. this was clearly a civilian target, apartment blocks, flats where people were living. there is bedding and bla nkets living. there is bedd

and nor is margaret.n margaret ferrier, when you asked her, or suggested to her you asked her, or suggested to her you thought she should resign from parliament, what did she say to you about that? can you help us with who knew what wayne? there is a suggestion that the whips knew about this on wednesday and i wonder if that delay between people knowing about it and her going public and being suspended suggests that there was initially an attempt to try to write this out? —— might raid the side. whether she has been fully honest throughout the process with the party and others. separately, if ican ask the party and others. separately, if i can askjason leech, on the figures in the last few days, to what extent do you think students are still a big chunk of driving this, and are we, by the sounds of it, looking at possible further restrictions in glasgow? let me take two points to me first and i will be as brief as possible. as open and frank as possible as well. on my conversation with her, i have been ve

margaret. no i don't have been sure that. is an example of how oftentimes we may be associated with organizations, all of whose particular positions we don't, support even though we support in general the hope that overtime, particularly if we can get those reductions in strategic weapons, if we kicked up a comprehensive test ban treaty, if we can negotiate with the soviet union bring down the level of conventional forces in europe with the pockets in the soviet side, yes, at some point it may be possible to reduce defense outlays. and use those four important things here at home, like jobs and job training and college opportunity and health and housing and the environment and the things that all of us care about. but i do think this, the next president, even within a relatively stable, budget and that's where we're gonna have for the foreseeable future, we will have to make the tough choices that i was talking about and that mr. bush doesn't want to make. and that release could be a chance for the next president of the unite
