now of course the people who were a part of the rose garden ceremony today who are supporter, friendsand certainly on the same thought process as the white house, view her as someone that they believe will follow in the footsteps of the justice she clerked for, antonin scalia. and we saw today how she tried to use that piece of her own biography to connect herself to ruth bader ginsburg because of the personal friendship we've all heard so much about with the late justices ginsburg and scalia, their personal friendship. now she also spoke about her family and the white house has emphasized that a great deal, to talk about her seven children, two of whom were adopted from haiti. she today did not describe her faith explicitly, but many people do describe her devout catholic background. and of course her time at notre dame supports that. the president emphasized her intellect, the fact that she has that bipartisan support that you noted. only three democratic senators. but that was a vetting process that the white house thinks can speed this along. now certainly many people believe that

here we are outside the rose garden 19, the rose garden set up for this nomination, i think it is worthking at the background of how all of this came together. fall of 2016, then don began in the transition team, they are putting together a list of potential nominees for the court of appeals. don began new judge amy coney barrett from his time at notre dame where he did his undergraduate and she did her law degree and a professor. the idea was to get her on the courts of appeals and put her name forward as potential nominee for the supreme court as well. the president became aware of her during her confirmation hearings for the seventh circuit and president thinking she showed toughness in the face of what was a rough ride for her and the confirmation process, highlighted by the famous statement by diane feinstein, ranking member on the senate judiciary where she said her catholic face, dogma lives loudly within you. the president like how she stood up to that criticism and then in 2018, when justice kennedy retired, brett kavanaugh was being considered as the leading contender but she

now the president assembling many of his staff members as well as reporters in the rose garden to make an announcement that his administration will immediately begin dispatching 150000000 rapid tests as they're known this means you can get the result in about 15 minutes and those will be dispatched to communities across the united states being put through the governors of the respective states and it will go to communities of color nursing homes but essentially the goal in all of this is to try and get students back to work and get economies back to normal now we should point out that the u.s. president made almost identical announcement back in august with regard to this what this appears to be is another incremental step in the president's push to reopen the economy particularly in advance of the u.s. election but many are arguing you know why wasn't this done so much sooner and it would have spared so much of the social misfortune that has taken place in the united states as a result of these shutdowns that have been going on the ebb and flowing for a prolonged period of time and in

there is a state of a union guy and rose garden guy. who will we have tonight?'s a great question. he is comfortable in this moment because he is fast on the quip. he has a lot of reps with back and forth with reporters every day. in that case, it helps. this is more about the interaction between president trump and joe biden. which joe biden shows up and how he is planning on-going after donald trump. that's the whole debate. >> dana: tell me about chris wallace's role. he said he wants to be considered invisible. if they are going after each other, you have to jump in. what if it's just like really raucous? >> he is really good at holding the reins and reeling them in. if you look back to the third debate in the last cycle, he did that well. that could have been off the rails between donald trump and hillary clinton. i believe chris that, he wants to set the table and let them engage. there will be times, i am sure he will push back. especially if something is said that is not there. >> dana: they have so many topics to cover from the economy and the coronavir

and that's what they were touting there in the rose garden.se they're notably doing this one day before the president is going to have his first debate as joe biden is trying to hit him on his coronavirus response that we know americans have rejected. but there are a few things that happened there in the rose garden and one was what the president said versus what the vice president said. because the president, as he did no take questions, he maintained his belief that he says the u.s. is rounding the corner when it comes to the pandemic, something that medical experts vice president echoed. but then you saw the vice president trying to preempt what is expected to come in the weeks ahead by saying americans should be ready to see a rise in cases. kind of trying to say that that is something that's up ahead here, pam. and then also it's notable who we did not hear from in the rose garden. that was dr. anthony fauci or dr. deborah birx or even the cdc director dr. robert redfield who nbc news reported earlier this morning that he was overheard on

and the big moment, the culmination of the day for all the kids is to come to the white house rose garden, and the president and vice president were going to come out and greet the kids and take pictures. we had invited all of the press to bring their kids as well, so i went in and i was briefing the president in the oval office and explaining to him you'll go out, you'll take the picture, reminder, half of the kids, their parents are reporters, so you might watch what you say, and as you can imagine, he naturally completely ignored my advice, and we're sitting there and we're talking the, and we notice that the bushes in the rose garden start to violently shake. i think, well, that's odd. and about the time i'm sort of processing what's happening, this little blond head pops up and runs full speed towards the window of the oval office and pushes husband face up against the glass. the president's kind of taken aback, like oh, my god, there's a little boy looking into the oval office. i'm like, yes, sir, that's my son huck. he said, well, sarah, at least he's handsome. and not to let that

i mean think about it, american taxpayers paid for the rose garden. american taxpayers pay for the secretary of state's travel. so those things shouldn't be used to partisan purposes. they should be used for nonpartisan things like easter egg hunts or presented fake evidence to get america into a war. and even more importantly, the president shouldn't treelt powers like granting pardons on naturalizing imgrapts as personal favors that he can hand out to get vote force himself. because that is not the leader's job in a democracy. and if trump can't be bothered to maintain even the cosmetic appearance of democracy, st not his second term that people should be worried about, it is his third and his fourth. all right, we'll take a quick break but when we come back, we'll talk about what is happening in kenosha. so stay tun do you remember places? like this place. and this place. ooo, so placey. with so many not-your-house places all over the world... hotels.com is the best place to book a place. with a minty-flavored dark chocolate delicious twist. new ki

does that get traction when you attack her for her religion and attack what she said in the rose gardenthat a smart way to go about it or should they meet with her and actually talk to her? >> marie: first of all, polling done since ruth bader ginsburg died shows overwhelmingly that the american people think the next president, the person who wins in november, should appoint the next justice. public opinion is more of democrats on this. democrats are not attacking her because she's catholic. joe biden's catholic. he's the head of our party. there is no issue the democrats have with catholicism. there are a lot of debates within the catholic faith about issues like roe v. wade, lgbtq protections. democrats are going to focus on the fact that she has spoken out against the affordable care act, she could would it take away your health care, she voted to either limit abortion or of course overturn it, both are certainly possibilities. and she is far to the right of the mainstream in judicial rulings. not because her own faith but what she has said professionally in her job, melissa. that's

president set to make this announcement in the rose garden any moment we know that he did meet with judge barrett's number of times this week on monday and again on tuesday and as you reported she is highly popular with religious conservatives here in the united states and it's believed that in many ways this appointment if in fact it is who we believe it is 'd is that in fact this would energize the president's base many who in recent years have been a little bit on the fence of being whether or not they want to vote for the president to be reelected the white house hoping that this will clinch that for the president allowing him a 2nd term we might be about to get the announcement kimberly and we know that the process is kind of move it will as quickly as the republicans can can encourage it to do so but nonetheless there's not a lot of time to vote on this before election day and actually here they are president trump just emerging there in the rose garden. that's right in terms of how this process could play out it's unprecedented we've never had a process move at the speed at which t
