none of us know. >> rahm, how worried are you about the election? >> i'm jewish, i'm worried. >> you're worried all the time. of course you're worried. >> i got enough worry for the three of us. >> how worried are you about the election results coming in later and later? what do you see? >> what i would say is on election night i bet what we learn is that the path for the president is -- the door has closed. about a week later we'll be able to say x, joe biden has been elected president. i don't think you'll be able to declare that. by the time we get to election day, almost two thirds of the american will have voted. you'll get about 20 million more people in 2020 than 2016. donald trump is a centrifugal force. those who care about him will show up. the democrats who have been angry over the last four years, they'll show up. the other voters joe biden needed to win, they're exhausted. they're tired. they don't want donald trump in their lives. everywhere they go is a constant conflict. what they're looking for is a little calm, little compassion ve

matt dowd, rahm emanuel, former mayor of chicago, chris christie, former governor of new jersey, yvetteacy for america. governor christie, i'd like to start with you. it wasn't a repeat of the last debate, but president trump went after joe biden aggressively. you've certainly coached him before. do you think that the change in tone helped the president tonight? and is it too late to make a difference? >> it absolutely helped the president tonight, the change in tone. because it did two things. one, it lowered the heat so that people could actually listen to what the two candidates were saying. and secondly, it allowed joe biden room to talk about what he wanted to talk about, which i've been advocating for the president to do right from the beginning. because joe biden to me made a strategic mistake tonight. he said he's going to go to zero carbon by 2025, in five years, and phase out the oil industry. i am confident that voters in the middle of pennsylvania and in certain places of ohio in particular are going to be hearing that loud and clear tonight, knowing that joe biden is going

>> what rahm just said is completely on-point.ou don't just need to hear from the president's physician, you need to hear from the entire medical team. infectious disease specialists, others who are all consulting on his care. and a full debrief of all the evaluations and his vital signs, what his pulse is, whether a chest x-ray has been done, the ekg, what medications they've been using. and i think that we need to get to that step. and i think there are a lot of people, both in the lay public and medical profession, who would be interested and reassured if it is just a precautionary measure. >> we've often learned after the fact if the president has health problems in the white house, fdr, jfk, and reagan as well. this is probably the most serious health problem for a president since ronald reagan was shot. >> yes, this is the most serious condition a president has faced since ronald reagan was shot. eisenhower, a very serious heart attack in the white house, and there was no 25th amendment at that point. this is something to ta

so i think he was -- as rahm said, he did not have an answer. no answer to have. and so i think he would have been better suited i think to talk about what they plan to do in the future rather than try to go back in history and recreate what they did before. >> and yvette, i want to stay with you for a minute. what does it say about the fight for suburban women? pence, who is pro life and anti-abortion, dodged the question about overturning roe v. wade. >> you know, i think he loses them. we know that a supermajority of americans believe that a woman should have a right to choose. and i think kamala harris made it very, very clear where she and biden stand on it. we know mike pence is an ultra conservative extremist, particularly on issues like choice. so i think him standing on that i think probably alienated a ton of women. and the fact that he failed to answer what his own state would do if amy coney barrett was brought into the supreme court and that issue of choice came before the supreme court. and so i think that they lost women. they pro

going to be hard to find the game changing opportunities they need to turn this campaign around. >> rahmou make of that performance? >> when i look at this, jon, it's a referendum of donald trump. he has never changed the narrative. there's two types of re-election. what ronald reagan and bill clinton did or what barack obama and george bush did, making a binary choice. trump has not done that. he'sadit about himself. his entire four years have been about himself. the american people have actually issued a judgment about the way he's handled covid, the economy, bringing the country together rather than dividing it. in my view with 27 days they still don't have a vision for the future and it's self-evident and that's why groups that used to vote for republican and for donald trump are recoiling from the character of his presidency. they want change. that change is a return to normalcy. i'm basically -- it's a -- it was a microcosm that this is a referendum on donald trump. they have no message on the future. the voters have issued their judgment about that. >> julie, i thought it was inte

emmanuel used to be the mayor of chicago, given that rahm i man well was the first chief of staff todent obama, that was one of the parts of the book that i was really savoring, i have to say. as a journalist and as an undocumented person who has yet to really see and read kind of the full reckoning that, for me, for the first time i've seen in writing in the book. >> yeah. >> can you talk about what that was like to, that event that you were emceeing in washington, d.c. with, you know, honoring sonia sotomayor, the first latina supreme court justice and introducing president obama and knowing that, feeling in your stomach, wait a second, how is this really going to turn out? >> you totally described that as just such a good journalist. yeah, you went right into the scene. because the scene is, you know, after george w. bush where i didn't have much access, you know, in the white house, you know, suddenly obama's elected, the congressional hispanic caucus is holding this big event, this big gala. there's a vip tent, and now i'm in the vip tent, and i'm like, whoa, how did this happen

. >> rahm emanuel joining us, sarah isger, first, chris, welcome back.ing better right now. you often said that the president wouldn't change. that he is who he is. is he doing what he needs to do for these final two weeks? >> listen, in the last few weeks what he has to do is remain disciplined on the economic message. i think there are real concerns by people across the country about what joe biden will do. they admitted they will take back the trump tax cut. that will raise taxes on middle class families. no matter what vice president biden says, that is the truth. the fact here is that the president should be focused on the economic message. he gets great credit, and i think if they're looking to the future in that way the president has a better chance of winning than if we talk about old grievances. and i just, you know, this goes back, george, you remember on the show we talked about the memo that i sent to the president over 110 days ago now. i said if you run the campaign you ran in 2016 and will fwhnot be a winning campcap >> rahm emanuel, what

rahm, how does he win back senior citizens, and why has biden's approach to the virus resonated? say. i'm not sure the president can do that. he's done a number of things, trying to do law and order, cultural war, telling seniors they were basically dispensable. everything he's done on covid, that is the message he's sent them. joe biden is a reassuring voice for them. he will be the first democrat since al gore in 2000 to win senior votes. here's the thing. trump made a huge mistake tonight letting joe biden have his own moment. big tactical mistake. campaigns, number one rule, you got to do everything you got to, do hope your opponent does everything they did. joe biden got a gift from donald trump today. two, chaos and confusion on one side, calm and compassion and clarity is on the other side. and that contrast, because at the end of the day, what the voters are looking for is somebody who will bring the country together. joe biden is scratching their emotional itch right now. >> president trump was evasive on the coronavirus, saying he didn't know when he took his last test

wonderful capacity right on a 24 so he would be almost impossible to think that we can pay the same rahm. >>many restaurants are still working out those kids because there are several health guidelines that need to be followed. this a says begin reopening across the bay area, the next step is also allowing students back on campus state school superintendent tony thurmond gave an update on what is being done to make sure that happened safely. >>we're monitoring closely working closely with the state department of public health on how to enhance and support the efforts of our schools in the counties in terms of their testing protocols so that we can support those schools that will be open. >>well, there's no concrete date just yet for when major school districts in the bay area could reopen. but superintendent thurman praising the work that parents and the teachers are doing to make distance learning successful, saying that he would give them all and a great match. all right we're tracking the coronavirus numbers across california and of course right here in the bay area check out the numb

make trouble plan now that's led by a man called rahm may trim all these a former deputy head of customs now this man john there's a lot of support here and great influence is rude to have facts of the whole story the current president's presidential campaign in the south. actually joy fire and all the protests and. heads all the noise that you can hear people continuing to gather. let me just i know we've got to. hammer and. show you what's happening. 6 but this is another one of. the opposition parties. joining these protests these protests saying that they will continue the story should these. books is a noble story and i. know people very big time and continue these demonstrations having a spare also to put this kind of reaction into the context of the history of this country bear in mind that kyrgyzstan is on described as being a formal vibrant democracy. for acrostic than its regional or authoritarian neighbors and people in their thought are not afraid to voice as you can see their discontent with the government keeping in mind that they have overthrown 2 previous presidents in re

what we see you know rahm is a laureate which is under tremendous pressure she went into how this quiet he's basically fighting pro-life right now and what we see in the current right is a long term struggle to say the communities and the environment where indigenous people so it's i'm not surprised by the topics but the top choice we always have is there's so many issues around the world which really concern us that it's a tough choice and i said belt the war says it honors people who solve global problems in a visionary and exemplary way what you describe as extraordinary and exemplary about the work of this year's winners. i mean they all address topics of justice friedan a freedom of equality they all are joined at the head is very collaborative approach their work together with others to build alliances that in fact the rights of individuals to change in the case of rights means and to change it in just justice system and they've done that with the perseverance over a long time over 2030 years think about alex the other at ski and belarus who has been working in the basically only

because i think he understands, as rahm was saying, he understands what that means if he doesn't. and how much that is important to him. so my guess is, he's going to do that. this is a surprise like days? when the president is going to the hospital, he is on a campaign picture with the president. he is in contact and what does he need to do, does he not go out? that is a whole other question -- let's try to at least try to answer some of them. i mean, the president, as you pointed out was coming into this week behind, pretty stable seven-point lead by joe biden, and nothing seemed to shape that. this brings the coronavirus front and center once again. with the white house and the trump team mount a campaign at this point? >> i don't think they can, actually. actually. i don't think they can mount anywhere close to the campaign they thought about. but i think this is an entirely new territory for them. which may be good for them. because the campaign they were mounting wasn't working. the convention didn't move numbers, the debate strategy didn't change the dynamic. maybe not runn

i kind of the obama part of this, given since this is the chicago humanities festival, given that rahme first chief of staff to president obama. that was part of the book i was savoring, i have to say. savoring as a journalist as an undocumented person who is yet to really see and read, have full reckoning that for me for the first time i'm seeing in writing. can you talk to us about what that was like, that event that you are seeing in washington, d.c., honoring soda sotomayor and then introducing president obama and knowing that feeling interests them, we do, how is is going to turn out. >> you to describe it like such a good journalist. you would write into the scene because the scene is that after george w. bush where i didn't have much access, you know, in the white house come suddenly obama is elected, the congressional hispanic caucus is holding this big event, this big gala pictures of the at beacon and like i'm in the vip tent. how did this happen next time with sonia sotomayor soars to this beautiful moment like wow, things are really going to change and its right. i was on s

we had lindsey graham as our negotiator, and rahm emanuel was the negotiator for barack obama.e got so frustrated with the debate commission we decided we were just going to do the debates ourselves. then we decided the logistics were too much, and went back to the commission. but the rules are meant to be standardized, in that you then create a memorandum. tom: that is brilliantly explained. huge public value. it is not a standardized time. as president, what is his power and with hisdate, visibility and vocal treatment, what is his ability to change the commission or make a more malleable process to get his outcomes? and: you can always say no, that is what the president is saying this morning. i would say the debate commission would never have announced that they did agree on a virtual debate unless someone in the trump campaign said yes to that. so this is another example of donald trump not being connected to the leadership of his campaign, and now going rogue on the debate commission, and probably divide in campaign because the biden campaign would have's -- probably the

rahme rahel, thank you >>> another big batch of big name earnings today on tap with less than two weeksow until election day joining us now, greg hawn, president and cio of winthrop capital management you're a longer term guy, but we're short time on the fly thinkers here. what are you expecting for the next couple of weeks, does election out of the pandemic could be making things interesting, yes or no >> yes, there are two fundamental truths one is we're closer to an election and a result and the second is that we're closer to the end of this pandemic than we were at the beginning. and we think that we do have some way to control the virus next year early in the year and that will allow the economy to reopen and that will change the dynamics so that rollover from technology, that will happen next year. >> well, i hope so because the number one trending story or one of them on cnbc.com right now is the uk's chief scientist tell g lawmakers there that covid will become the annual flu that we'll have to live with for years to come that changes everything if he is right, but either way, l

when rahm emanuel closed 50 schools people said, why am i staying in this neighborhood? a neighborhood school anymore. >> reporter: it's all connected. hospitals like any business look at their services like line items to determine what's profitable and what's not. when birth rates decline like they have in recent years across the country, their ability to recoup costs falls below desirability. community hospitals like st. bernard hospital on chicago's south side have to make a tough decision. and in a pandemic and shifting state and federal funds to recoup these costs, that tough decision comes much faster. >> the patients we're delivering here on the hospital relied heavily on medicaid as their insurance coverage. and with medicaid, it really doesn't pay for the cost of the care that we provide. so we rely heavily on the government for that support. right now the funding is just not present. ♪ >> also today, plans for dismantling the alternate care facility at mccormack place. >> reporter: it took $66.5 million taxpayer dollars to build the facility. about 1/3 of that

to congress today, defending their platforms and their business models for more let's bring in tony rahma tech reporter at "the washington post. would you tie these declines to what we saw today? twitter did sell off after that exchange with senator cruz. >> it might have something to do with that. to be honest, this hearing was such a political and partisan affair, i don't think most investors or folks on capitol hill or those elsewhere for that matter think any exchanges lead to immediate regulation or immediate threats for these companies. so, the reason we had this gathering today, obviously, was to look at federal laws that spare tech companies from being held liable for the decisions they make on the content to allow or to take down. there are some lawmakers who would like to see those laws amended. frankly, what we got today was a fight between democrats and republicans between allegations of conservative bias, which plenty of experts say isn't real it's unclear if you can tie that to the numbers we're seeing today. it's certainly the case that the events that unfolded on capitol

capacity right on a 20 per person so he would be almost impossible to think that we can pay the same rahm. >>all of my favorite restaurants for showing and i haven't even been there a lot of restaurants are still working out the kinks because there are many health guidelines that they have to follow to allow customers to eat inside. >>well as more businesses begin reopening across the bay area the next step will be to allow students back on campus state school superintendent tony thurmond gave an update on what's being done now to make sure that that happens safely and smoothly. >>we're monitoring closely working closely with the state department of public health on how to enhance and support the efforts of our schools in the counties in terms of their testing protocols so that we can support those schools that will be open. there's no concrete date for when major school districts in the barry could reopen but the superintendent is praising the work the parents and teachers are doing. >>to make distance learning a success saying that he would give them all >>we'll take a break 5.52 is the

in 2020, people are just raged out, and i think rahm emanuel coid the opposite of rage is assion and empathy and joe biden has certainly shown that, and decency. you can get a lot of policies wrong but if you get the emotions right you tend to do well in politics. trump unlike jeb bush and marco rubio in 2016 understood rage is what people want. but that's over no people want a different set of register and biden happens to inhabit those emotional regist >> woodruff: another big thing we'll be watching on election night stis the unitedes senate. it's in republican hands by a surprising number of republican senators who are in tossup s ces. what are some rau are looking at? >> well,ening it's impossible not to look at the dwest and look at particularly in iowa where democrats are qubuite ish if they can capture that senate seat from jo ert and teresa greenfield. democrats are allf a sudden getting a little bit more encouraged and optistic about kansas. barbara, the former republican state senator, is ng a very, very strong campaign in a stat that has not elected ata demoo the senate s

that's president obama with his top aide valerie jarrett and chief of staff rahm emanuel and illinois congressman and senator on the helicopter there. we show you that just to show you the close quarters. the white house has a lot still to fill in in terms of how many people were around the president. what is the contact tracing operation? they say it's under way but we don't have many details but the white house has told people if you're among those people telecommuting, telework is now back in. can you work from home if you believe you were in contact. >> yeah. the white house has a pretty big task on its hands. they need to contact trace and potentially dozens or hundreds of people not only with the president and the inner circles and in close proximity to hope hicks. they have a large number of people unlike his rival and unlike what public health guidelines say. you should not be going into crowds and holding massive events the way the president is doing so they need to contact a lot of the people who have been in contact with the president. we know the president and white house

rahm emanuel, did anybody win? >> no hits, no runs, no errors. so, therefore, it's a loss for trump. they needed to change the dynamics of this race and if they didn't do that, they didn't make any gains here. i would just say that, in this case, right now, the trump /pence ticket has a 31% deficit with women voters. there is nothing that showed tonight that they not only narrowed that p gap. if you are attacking your opponent, who happens to be a woman, you can do that, but the journalist who is asking the question, i don't think that helped them with the women vote in general. so, i would say that while this will not change the trajectory of the race, that therefore is a loss for donald trump, who is somewhere in the double digits losing right and spe spicifically among wome. mike pence, i know him. you have a reporter and a woman candidate and both of them you are interrupted, both of them you are attacking, not a good sign. >> sara fagen, obviously mike pence, former television commentator, does have a very calm demeanor, but a lot of people

the field is still strong though with the likes of this man, world number twojohn rahm along with roryurn from injury. two cliff divers have taken their sport to the extreme by becoming the first people to dive in underground caverns. if you haven't got a head for heights you might want to look away. this is constantin popovici diving into the depths of the salina turda. it's one of the oldest saltmines in the world and 120 metres beneath the ground in north west romania. he was joined by four time cliff diving champion rhiannan iffland from australia. the water is so salty it's 70% denser than the sea. you can get all the latest sports news at our website — that's bbc.com/sport. but from me tulsen tollett and the rest of the team that is your thursday sport briefing. many britons who have been unable to take their normal holiday abroad this year — due to coronavirus restrictions, are turning to more adventurous domestic options. that's the conclusion of a ‘visit britain' report showing a head for heights and a sense of adventure are among the vacation choices for 2020. tim muffett has

about some of the treatments being given to the president let's take a closer look at those 1st up rahm does appear is a and i will draw that was previously tested for a bota it's not approved by u.s. drug authorities but is being allowed for patients with severe covert 90 it is the only medicine proven to help people recover more quickly around 4 days on average according to one study but the same data shows it does not reduce fatalities of the other treatment is an experimental antibody combination made by regeneration companies says it's trials show the cocktail reduces viral load and associated symptoms it too has not been approved but the company can give access for compassionate use which is what has happened in this case and also in clark is an associate professor in microbiology at university of reading and he explains how some of these antiviral drugs. well as i understand it if they can reject or given reject her or reading this is there now that you 2 quite different things were general and as i understand it it's an activity which will can be administered to help the immune

claire, you're always a good ba rahm r barometer in how the election turns out or doesn't. joe biden has a wider lead than hillary clinton had at this time four years ago, but yet, some skepticism from democrats. >> there's two or three things that are different that make me feel a little better. i am like every other democrat. i will not believe it until i see it. however, the coalition that trump had which was, you know, he was competitive with college-educated women four years ago. he won seniors. and he won independents. well, he is not winning in any of those categories now and he is losing college-educated women by, like, 25 points. so, i look at that, i also look at his favorability. he's much more liked than hillary clinton was at this point. and then the other thing i'm looking at in the data, forget about the polls, look and see who's voting. in georgia, 1 out of 4 voters in georgia that have already voted are first-time voters or not reliable voters. these are typically not the people who show up early. the people who show up early are typically the ones who vote

. >> rahm emanuel?i think joe biden was most passionate about the concerns and the squeeze on middle class families who are sitting at the kitchen table trying to figure out how to pay bills. and that passion of understanding, that intensity of pressure on families in a very intimate and personal way, really came through and you can also understand, he said, let's have a character debate and that's what's on the ballot. i think he understood, i'm going to be a president for all america. trump for 40 minutes, he played to the script and the mask came off and the old trump was there. and i would also say that while the microphone was off, the camera was on and when joe biden was speaking, trump looked like a petulant child. and the whole time that split screen did not work for donald trump. and so, the mic may have been down, but the camera was on and was hot and his facial gestures did not work for him. at the end of the day, i also think this. the american people have made a decision about this election
