secret service at the wheel, secret service in the passenger seat. the president right behind them sharing the same air space. you might have seen his hand there briefly waving to photographers. so there are members of the press pool in the foreground. they're authorized to be there. but as we saw members of the republican are very close to all this as it is unfolding. there is a formalized entrance to the medical central. they'll bring the president in. as the doctor said, everything henceforth, there is reason to believe everyone he sees from now on will be outfitted as hospital workers are outfitted now, in full ppe. we need them to stay healthy. there in the background is the tower michael beschloss was talking about. a beautiful campus. we shouldn't say another word about walter reed without mentioning the miracles they do there on a daily basis. the returning veterans from both of these wars of close to two decades that our nation has been fighting, who have come through in various stages of grievous injury. in most cases have been put back tog

but we are told by corey lewandowski who was on fox earlier this morning that the two secret service agents volunteered to drive the president and there was a plexiglas partition between the passenger compartment and the driver's compartment. here's what mark meadows, the chief of staff set about all of that this morning. >> well, the secret service agents, how do we think that he got here? we came here in mario marine one secret service agents have been with him in cars, we took initial precautions with ppe and others to make sure they were protected. >> we haven't had a medical update since yesterday morning on the president, his doctor has said there were some tense moments on friday, it looks like the president might rapidly progress from mild to severe coronavirus disease. they gave him oxygen on medication and took him to walter reed so he could be close to aggressive care if needed and there has been some aggressive care, harris, over the weekend, the president was started on ram doeand his oxygen saturation levels dropped, i don't want to say precipitously but significantly,

two people, presumably secret service agents were in the car with him.did learn more

we also have jonathan waker, former secret service agent for president barack obama. before we get to everything the president is doing, michael, how are you doing this morning? >> i'm feeling okay. this is definitely an uncomfortable thing to have. i wouldn't recommend it to folks. it feels like you have the flu, you know, the aches and pains and chills and i still have a low-grade fever that i've had for several days. it's definitely not comfortable. but it's also not,, you know -- i'm here. it's, you know, you sort of get through it. and i'm not in the hospital. and i certainly feel lucky when compared to all the people who have had this far worse than i have. >> and you are doing your reporting, you are doing your work, because the story itself right now is so important and you're able to do it, which is great. jonathan, to you. you have served in presidential protective detail. so i want to know what you were thinking when you saw those pictures last night of the president in the enclosed suv with those secret service agents, driving by walter reed, for really no

doctor tweeted about the secret service agents with mr. trump, they may die for political theater, commanded by trump to put their lives at risk for theater. this is insanity. still, the trump campaign absurdly claimed the president has somehow one upped democrat joe biden. >> he has experience now fighting the coronavirus as an individual. those firsthand experiences, joe biden, he doesn't have those. >> reporter: on evasive answers from the medical team, sources say mr. trump is likely instructing dr. conley what to disclose and what to keep secret from the american people. as for concerns the president's condition could take a turn for the worse, back at the white house where he will be shortly, conley wouldn't specify how the medical team can make sure mr. trump will have everything he needs. on the potential for mr. trump to get back on the campaign trail with four weeks left in the 2020 election, dr. conley said we'll see. the trump campaign is going beyond that, saying the president will be participating in the next debate with joe

. >> the president determined to look strong takes a ride around the hospital but with secret service agents sealed inside with him, the backlash is immediate. we're live at walter reed. 29 days and counting to election day. vice president pence hitting the campaign trail today this week's debate with senator kamala harris still on what our new poll is revealing about what voters thought of the first presidential debate. those stories plus on alert. storm warnings issued in the caribbean as yet another dangerous tropical system forms and could reach the gulf coast as a hurricane later this week al is tracking it all. >>> and upset special. >> he is airing it out downfield and it is caught. >> the philadelphia eagles take down the 49ers on sunday night football. and after a coronavirus scare, for two football games today. monday, october 5th, 2020. >> announcer: from nbc news this is "today" with savannah guthrie and hoda kotb from studio 1a in rockefeller plaza. >> welcome to "today." it's monday morning. didn't feel like much of a weekend, so much going on. >> it did, but i did hear

no one gave a damn about the secret service when the secret service was at risk other protect years knowinglyk in other situations. steve, do you remember the story about the friend of mine who caught chicken -- fever in africa. brian: do. >> of course you don't. you never heard about it. why didn't you hear about that one? what about when a guy who is on -- guy by the name of dan bongino how about when i caught bengay fever in south africa with another protectee? do you remember that story? no, you don't remember that either. how about the hundreds of other agents get sick traveling around the world for photo op.s you know why you don't hear about that story? that's not what we do. we are not a bunch of whiners. we go out and we protect the president of the united states. of the united states gets to acts like the president of the united states without having to worry about us because we signed on to take the worry for him. listen to me, someone was getting in that car or that helicopter and closing that door and protecting the president of the united states infected or not. someone was goin

the poor secret service and others who were in there. what can you say, this was completely unnecessary. trump shouldn't have done it. but he wanted his photo op and he had his maga supporters out there who were going to back him up 100% and show him how much they didn't care about masks and social distancing either. >> right. and then of course meantime, the presidential race is less than a month away, and "new york times" and sienna college polls, for two battle ground states show support for joe biden in florida at 47%. that's compared to 42% for donald trump. while in pennsylvania, biden is at 49%, and trump at 42%. now, what do those and other battle ground numbers reveal at this juncture and how might donald trump's covid infection impact the race? >> you'd much rather be joe biden than donald trump, and biden is actually doing better in the key swing states than hillary clinton was four years ago. now, that doesn't guarantee him a victory. a lot of things can happen. this has turned into the black swan campaign. you just never kno

we saw at least two secret service agents in the vehicle the president was riding in. they were wearing n95 respirators but that's it. not the kind of protocols behind me at walter reed, where we're told doctors going into the room to treat him, they are wearing the full suite of protective gear, which includes a mask, some kind of face shields. it includes glufls, protective equipment on top of their clothing. there's some risk the president is willing to put the secret service atmosphere through in order to get his public facing objectives. >> bigger picture, jeremy. we know the president is not healthy. we got an update from his doctors earlier today, and they paint add fairly dire picture as far as what the president has been through in the past 24 plus hours. fill us in with some of those details what we learned today. verse there are many more questions about just how bad his condition is. >> listen, the president's doctor, and the physicians treating him, they tried to say today that the president is doing really well. before they said that, they talked about al

a secret service protectee. i want to get your thoughts on that picture of the president in the suv, obviously we think still contagious, with the agents so close by. >> john, you're right. secret service is part of the department of homeland security. for three years, i was a protectee of the secret service. the secret service are men and women who are courageous, they're dedicated and trained to take a bullet for the president of the united states. i am frankly, i noticed in the images, the agent in the front seat was wearing some form of ppe, so i'm frankly less concerned about the brave men and women of the secret service who are trained to protect themselves and the president. more concerned frankly about the large gatherings in the rose garden, on the south lawn during the acceptance speech of senior government officials not wearing masks. we have an outbreak of covid in the white house, in the most protected building in the country, and that's where i think the white house staff, the chief of staff and ot

this is not the first time that politics meets the secret service mission here. typically the secret service will offer a counsel when there's an overwhelming outside threat of the overall safety and security of the president. in this situation with covid-19, it's more medical consultation. in terms of the people i spoke to, the way the situation involved, the medical staff consulted with the secret service, who basically said, listen, we can get this done, there's no overwhelming outside threat in terms of why we can't take the president in the car, so they did what they were asked. you know, at any point in time you are serving as counsel to the president. we saw with this president bush, where the secret service decision was not to go back to the white house on the evening of september 11th, and chairman overruled that decision, went back to the white house. so this is not the first time, but here, especially during a pandemic, this is spreading like wildfire right now. it will direct lly impact our national security here, based on the people going down with t

what is the role of the secret service now at this point? i get to that, there's two things i want to say -- one, this is a pure example that this virus does not discriminate and two, actions have consequence. right now there are a lot of people that are dealing with the consequence of not wear, masks and inadequate health security measures that are around the president at the time. if you think about exposure, what is exposure based upon? it is based upon time and distance. how much time you spent with somebody who's potentially shedding the virus and how close you are with them. in the world of white house, in moving the white house staff and secret service and military to these various events, what you have are multiple points of exposure along the entire journey. i have been on air force one. i have been on the president's helicopter. i have been in the west wing. as large as some of those spaces are you come in direct contact with the president. there are small areas where people are gathering, they're huddling, they're strategizing. th

a member of his secret service detail in personal protective gear. the drive-by prompting outcry from medical experts who question trump's judgment and his doctors. >> amazingly irresponsible. and his physician should have said "no." >> reporter: an attending physician at walter reed hospital who is not treating the president had this response. >> i have a hard time believing that without undue influence, based on their chain of command, that those physicians would have cleared that. masks or no masks, being inside a vehicle that is hermetically sealed, circulates virus inside and potentialliy lputs people a risk. >> reporter: the white house saying this event was cleared by trump's medical team. >> i don't think this was a stunt at all. i think this was president trump showing people that he's very gracious for the hospitality they've shown him. >> reporter: the president also releasing a video recorded in the hospital, saying he had learned a lot about the virus, more than eight months after the first u.s. cases were reported. >> i learned a lot ab

risk that the secret service agents who we re the secret service agents who were driving the presidentople who don't have the coronavirus and so those people may have to quarantine for two weeks and they may expose their family and get sick or die. so it is seen as a very and get sick or die. so it is seen as a very irresponsible thing to do and the white house defended it, saying that they had checked with the medical unitand had checked with the medical unit and they had cleared it but still, those secret service agents have to wear full body equipment, face masks, gloves, everything, you know, for the dangerous minute— long journey also. daniel lippman, thanks so much. thank you. there's been a new surge in fighting between azerbaijan and armenia over the disputed territory of nagorno—karabakh, a week after the long running conflict re—ignited. russia has called for a ceasefire. azerbaijan has threatened to destroy military targets inside armenia in retaliation for a missile attack on its second city ganja, which it says killed a civilian. until now, most of the conflict has been be

this presents a notice player for the secret service. >> the secret service says if you're going to marchuse to street matthew's cathedral, about seven, eight blocks, surrounded by tall buildings, the very kind of building the president was shot from in dallas, world leaders, and president johnson and mrs. johnson are going to want to march in solidarity with you, too. >> the secret service says under no circumstances should president johnson take that risk. >> that day kennedy's assassin is shot in dallas. >> jackie stage managed her husband's funeral perfectly. every detail, riderless horse, two heartbreaking children standing next to her with john john saluting as his father's coffin rolled by. >> and jackie holds firm to her final wish. >> jackie walked with bobby and teddy, followed by all these other world leaders, charles de gaulle and prince philip, halle selassie. >> believed to be first time a president's widow has walked in his funeral procession. all followed behind the president's casket. >> jackie doesn't know whether president johnson has joined the procession. she turns to

he was on fox this morning, he said these secret service agents are always with the president. they were on marine one with him friday evening so really the chief of staff pushing this off. but many of the agents taking this oath to defend the president but really saying this goes a step too far here. guys. >> jessica, thank you for that reporting. >>> let's discuss with our chief medical correspondent, dr. sanjay gupta. thank you for being here. >> good morning. >> i know it's been around the clock for you, literally. so many questions about the president's condition and a lack of clarity or transparency to put it mildly in terms of updates from his medical team and the white house chief of staff, if you can listen to this and give us your reaction to the information from his doctor, dr. conley. >> i was trying to reflect the upbeat the positive attitude that the team, the president has had. i didn't want to give information that would steer the course of illness in another direction. and in doing so came off that they were trying to hide something that wasn't necessarily true

1st of all the german secret services but naturally the c.i. a they are the secret service of our ally. the usa they will have been briefing mr nominee and talking to him i have no idea what the content may be but i think it's rather natural assumption that they do so that all they gave the credit for his recovery to the german medics who treated him in berlin and said the chief medic at the cost but all working with initially treated wanted him dead so if that were true he would have survived. well it's not quite quite the truth so again the interviewer in the interview mentions actually that the russian doctor saved his life by applying atropine within one and a half hours after being poisoned or after after he landed. on the course or what he. protests against is the way the russian doctors changed their mind after having said initially that he's a able to be transported to germany retreating on that implying that they have been that they have come under some pressure by 3rd parties secret services assumingly so that is what he doesn't like but on the other hand he clearly states th

obviously i'm sure secret service and people protecting him had concerns.w several secret service officers intact c tactical gear walking alongside as well because he's in close proximity to members of the public out here on the street. one thing i would note, obviously we talked about the element to which this is the president trying to send a signal to the public and to the world that he is doing all right. but at the same time you have to wonder, what was the risk benefit analysis done here? you know, it seemed like the secret service agents driving the president in that motorcade, they appeared to be wearing the n-95 respirators on their faces. that was it. the president right now while at walter reed, we've been told by dr. conley and others, they enter those rooms with the full suite of protective gore on them. that's not just an n-95 mask but presumably goggles or some kind of a face shield and gloves and something over their entire bodies. so the president here is to a certain extent putting these secret service agents drive aring the vehicle with h

he exposed secret service agents.umber of americans over 200,000 people have died. the number of lives that represents in grieving loved ones that were not even allowed to see their family member because they were too ill. they were in the hospital with covid and yet, we have a patient with covid, the president of the united states who leaves the hospital, and exposes the people in the car when he is supposed to be isolating. it is -- he leclearly has not learned enough. on friday, we had the highest spike in cases since august. we had over 54,000 new cases identified on friday. and over 900 deaths. this is a very ongoing, very difficult, very dangerous virus. and we now have the highest levels of government exposed and not following any of the guidelines that their own centers fordisease control put forward. >> we should not be under illusions, the pandemic is continuing nonstop and many parts of the country are getting worse. thank you so mucher for joining us. >> nice to be with you. >> all right will, so there's 3

seriously he's taking this virus, even now, especially as he may be endangering the health of the secret service agents in the car with him. mr. trump tweeting this message before his ride. >> it's been a very interesting journey. i learned a lot about covid. i learned it by really going to school. this is the real school. this isn't the "let's read the book" school, and i get it and i understand it. and it's a very interesting thing, and i'm going to be letting you know about it. >> many medical professional say he didn't learn enough. here's what two doctors had to say to cnn about the president's outing. >> what is the purpose of this? and certainly if you're looking at the risks of the transmission of covid-19, what we know is that being in enclosed spaces is dangerous, masks or no masks. being inside a vehicle that is hermetically sealed circulates virus inside and puts people at risk. >> so, what the president did by insisting on that joyride was exposed the secret service agents sitting just literally inches away from him to recirculated air. and they have to hope that those masks they're

yesterday, the president had the secret service drive him outside the hospital so he could wave to the cameras and to his supporters, possibly exposing the the move outraged dr. james phillips, an attending doctor at walter reed, who tweeted all those agents now must now quarantine, adding, "they might get sick. they may die. for political theater. commanded by trump to put their lives at risk for theater. this is insanity." dr. phillips appeared today on "gma." >> i don't know what the benefits of this political stunt were, but i do know what the risks were. and my concern is that perhaps the secret service agents that were inside don't know the risks they were up against there and what the real threats were. >> reporter: tonight, the >> some of the criticism today, that was jon karl there. and stand by here as the entire network can join us for a special report. >>> this is an abc news special report. now reporting, david muir. >> good evening. we wanted to pause so the entire network can join us. many of you watching "world news tonight" as the president now leaves walter reed medic

being in an enclosed suv with secret service agents who have already been put at risk due to the white house's lack of precautions taking the lack of mask-wearing, is really problematic. and again, it just shows how, you know, the president and his approach to the coronavirus is not on bar with what we are seeing and what the pandemic is actually doing to the country at a national level. and i think you really make a point that a lot of these staffers that we don't see in the media, the janitors, the people in the kitchen, the people who help president trump on a day-to-day basis, they are also being affected by this. and doing political stunts like this, like getting in an suv to go on a joy ride while you are infected with coronavirus, really just can hurt and endanger and cause more work for the people around the president. >> and of course, many of those people, so much more vulnerable and potentially putting their families at risk. the "washington post's" jackie alemany, thank you very much. great to see you this monday morning. >>> still ahead on "way too early," with 29 days unt

thank you for explaining that. >>> the president leaving isolation, putting two secret service agents at risk to take this joy ride outside of a hospital. hear what agents are saying behind the scenes. they're not happy. >>> plus, joe biden comments on the future of the race with the president in the hospital. and nationwide, disturbing new signs the virus is surging again. and now your co-pilot. still a father. but now a friend. still an electric car. just more electrifying. still a night out. but everything fits in. still hard work. just a little easier. still a legend. just more legendary. chevrolet. making life's journey, just better. mvoila, rewarded withg guacamole and a side of quiet. grubhub gives you rewards for rewarding yourself, with food.

and whoever is driving him, a secret service agent, and whoever is sitting alongside him, a secret service increased risk of getting covid as a result of being in that truck with him. >> you know, carol, you have had great reporting in the early stages of the pandemic about a facility where they created a hermet cally sealed workplace and they didn't want donald trump in because they didn't want him potentially bringing the petri dish that was and is the white house into their facility. it is such a long distance from that sort of common sense and it wasn't a political statement, it was a safety statement, so what the secret service is subjected to. talk about what they're enduring. >> there is a really interesting divide in the secret service. and maybe one thing that is important to say for those of your viewers who don't know this, the secret service has a kind of dna which is, yes, sir, whatever you need to do, sir, we'll get it done, sir. no matter what the risks. no matter if it is a life-threatening event. they will be there and they will do it. they will do things that are physical

the move sparked outrage among health experts and the secret service. one secret service agent told "the washington post," quote, he's not even pretending to care now. a former agent asked, where are the adults a white house spokesman defending the outing saying, quote, appropriate precautions were taken in the execution of this movement to protect the president and all those supporting it, adding that the trip was cleared by the medical team as safe to do before the outing, the president tweeted this video >> so, it's been a very interesting journey. i learned a lot about covid. i learned it by really going to school this is the real school. this isn't the let's read the book school. and i get it and i understand it. >> now he's all caught up. here's is nbc's kelly o'donnell with the latest. >> reporter: the world's most-watched covid patriot made a surprised move, the masked president in the back seat driven by secret service to wave at supporters gathered outside the hospital a brief visit he previewed in a new video message. >> i'm about to make a l

two people, presumably secret service agents were in the car with him. we don't know what it means for their health, we did learn more details of the president's health from his doctor. those details were troubling. his physician was upbeat about the president's condition but what he said led our own dr. sanjay gupta say that the president of the united states may be sicker than his medical team is letting on. the president is taking a steroid, one recommended by the world health organization for people only suffering from the most severe cases of covid and needs supplemental oxygen and being treated with an experimental antibody cocktail and remdesivir which has been shown to shorten recovery time for some coronavirus patients, but there are potentially side-effects. let's get to jeremy who is outside walter reed right now for us. jeremy, you were standing there when the president made the unannounced surprise photo op appearance. how did the people outside the hospital react? what is the latest? >> reporter: it was a surreal scene. dozens of supporters

french the secret service intercept our caller that say you know there is one of the angels the tall swede human traffic and say oh yeah we are going to start now so they did the ship with my guns and we were screaming to overdoes migrants. and conjecture like that between traffickers and rescue ships serves to boost turnover of the criminal gangs we repeatedly asked several in g. . most of rescue migrants in the mediterranean for an interview or at least a statement many didn't reply but the few that did just gave a polite 2. but i think the issue of all of. the media people on this cd feels that they named it. i guess so i guess because for example all migrants leave are from the libyan cos they normally have a number. on their satellite phone to call to be a day skewed. so this isn't alone already a proof that there is a kind of connection. was a pandemic no certainly no borders to nationalities. as much time with the we don't look back seem the whole world needs to be. judged as comedy crisis with this system things. we can do better we should. everyone is contributing way but we

the virus has a secret service in uncharted waters.ajuns cannot stop the president from risky behavior during the pandemic. that is the sub headline of that story. we mentioned the tweets from the president this morning, into something around 18 tweets so far, making somewhat of a show of tweeting this morning, coming fast and furious. through strength, bring our soldiers home. vote." is what he tweeted a couple minutes ago, as we show you some of the live pictures from outside of walter reed national medical center in bethesda, maryland this morning. and as we ask you, do you trust what has been released when it comes to president trump's health. susan says no. why is that? caller: ok, thank you for taking my call. i do not believe it simply because we cannot trust this white house to give us the truth, we cannot trust the doctors. if you look at their body language, they are not being levelheaded about what is going on with donald trump. and his joy ride yesterday, he does not care who he infects or anything about it. he only cares a

. >> the president got into a secret service suv packed full of people who presumably do not have theoronavirus. the motorcade was not on its way to official business of any sort. it appears that president trump simply wanted tow wave to his supporters. >> reporter: here at rockville pike just behind me, there was the presidential motorcade. the president was visible inside that vehicle during that brief appearance. crowd here clearly very excited and enthusiastic about seeing the president, but this is really raising profound questions about about the approach of the white house to dealing with the president's illness and why they were taking the steps that clearly exposes people to more risk than is absolutely necessary. it goes against cdc guidance. it goes against public health guidance as well. we've seen this piece of the president's playbook before many times where he does something surprising, shocking, even something he knows will outrage a lot of people. it allows him to drive the conversation and put things on his terms. it may be different this time. this has really hit ho

he has the traveling press pool with him so there are reporters inside the secret service bubble. we heard him talk a little bit about the idea of voting in person here yesterday at the villages as he was on the way here, he said this was the whole purpose of his trip down to florida, even though he did fit in the rallies in pensacola and in the villages, and he was saying that he's looking forward to voting in person. he's been pushing that on supporters for weeks now, pushing on them that any wait is worth it, to get out to their polling locations, that it's safe. and he's had administration officials and surrogates pushing the same message, so we could see him emerge and say something to hammer home the symbolism of today and demonstrating that he does believe that it's okay for people to gather. we've seen lines across the country as people have already been doing that in states that are allowing in-person early voting. we'll see that on election day as well. >> just to point out from a factual perspective, the president changed his residence from new york to florida in 2019,

the critics say he put secret service agents in that vehicle at risk. the white house that he took extra precautions and wore additional protective gear. john roberts starts us off tonight from mclean, virginia, good evening, john. >> bret mack, good evening because we are working from home because the recent coronavirus tests at the white house it would be a good idea to get my t of my own. i did today and it was negative so i will be back at the white house tomorrow to cover the president's first day of post hospitalization. >> after a short three days of aggressive treatment from a president trump is leaving walter reed to continue his course of treatment at the white house beer the past 24 hours, the president has continued to improve. he has met or exceeded all standard hospital criteria. although we might not be entirely out of the woods yet, the team agreed that all evaluations but most importantly is clinical status support the president safe return home where he will be surrounded by world-class medical care 24/7. >> as part of the character of

house also drew criticism as the president, a confirmed covid case was confined in his suv with secret service agents putting them at risk of contracting the virus for the white house says the president's medical team cleared that drive, that they were all in personal protective equipment and that these are agents that have been with the president as he's been out of the hospital at walter reed. back to you, harris. >> harris: also that medical plexiglas that was between all of them. good to see you today, thank you. meanwhile, we know that president trump is being treated with several different medications including a five day course of the antiviral drug remdesivir, a steroid, a high-powered one and an experimental antibody cocktail. however, his doctors say they are pleased so far with the progress. i want to bring and now our medical power panel today, dr. manny alvarez, dr. debbie, new york city physician and fox news contributor, i'm going to start with you and the report now and confirmation from the white house press secretary herself, kayleigh mcenany that she has tested positive age

let's run it past the secret service and the secret service said absolutely not.s. reagan in the bedroom. nancy is lying on the bed with her feet on the pillows propped up. reagan is walking around the bedroom. secret service they're making their case. they're saying if you the reagans go where we want to go a that you cannot protect them? and the lead person said, "no, that's not what they're saying". nancy sat up and said, fine, let's go. we went to the place which is a shopping area. >> all of a sudden it was full much people applauding and cheering. >> they all wanted to see. >> they were nervous as all get out. >> nancy spotted some old carriage sitting there and she grabbed reagan's hand and pulled him on the carriage. >> after decades of this frozen relationship between the two super powers, to see this american president arms held out for the poor soviet people who have never been anywhere near an american president, much less one that looked like ronald reagan. it made the gulf war seem like ancient history. >> we got our footage. nancy just took over. i

secret service agents at risk.t that's not something that we should lose sight of right now. there is certainly an interest in getting out and waving to those supporters, and then there's also the very real situation that he's dealing with and the risk that he poses to other people right now. bret: marc, your thoughts about how this has all gone in the past -- well, since we saw him leave the south lawn of the white house in marine one on friday. >> well, first of all, the debate seems like a month ago, doesn't it? [laughter] all we were talking about, it was just last tuesday. and he had a really great opportunity here for a reset because there was a lot of sympathy for him, and there was an opportunity, i think, for the white house because one of the main attack points that the biden campaign has against the president is that they accused the president of not being fully honest and transparent about covid. here was an opportunity to be fully transparent and open, be ad mold of openness about the president's diagn

is that when anyone else is complaining about, the wrist to secret service, they had a great day.ter that? we don't know. good to see you, thank you very much. bars in the french capital paris will be closed from tuesday as part of new restrictions to tackle the spread of the coronavirus. the prime minister's office said the city and its region would be placed on maximum alert level for fifteen days from next week. french media are reporting that restaurants will be able to stay open but will have to introduce further safety measures and that universities will have to halve the number of students present on campus at any point. further measures will be announced on monday. in the uk public health england have admitted that nearly 16 thousand cases of coronavirus — between the 25th of september and the 2nd of october — were not included in daily figures for that period — and not transferred to the contact tracing system. some of them were included in the figures published yesterday — and today. the latest daily figure shows 22,961 new confirmed uk cases. 33 deaths were also recorde

he potentially exposed secret service to covid-19. this is his third day in the hospital after being diagnosed with the virus. there's still lots of confusion about his condition. good evening, thank you for joining us. the president also released a new video. >> it's been a very interesting journey. i learned a lot about covid-19. by really going to school. this is the really school. >> this morning trumps medical team says he could be released from the hospital as early as tomorrow. here's what else we know. the white house says vice president pence tested negative again today for covid-19. he is expected to keep campaigning this week. today joe biden campaign said biden took a covid-19 test and also got negative results. meantime new jersey health officials are trying to track down 200 peple who attended a fundraiser with trump on thursday. it's unclear when he was infected. >> tonight president trump leaving walter reed medical center in a motorcade. waving hello to supporters outside. >> i also think we'll pay a surprise to some

questions about whether he's putting his secret service at risk, but today could be the day he leaves the hospital. today is his fourth day being there. the chief of staff signaled pretty strong lly that that was the way they are leaning, but an evaluation still needed to be done. they took reporters over there from the white house to walter reed earlier this morning, sitting there no several hours, which we thought would be an update from the doctors, but we have not gotten an update in over 24 hours from the medical team. instead, there's a trash bag over the electrlectern, but we' continue to wait to see if the president will come back to the white house and whether or not they decide that is the right decision. the concern is something could happen with the president's health, he gets sent back, and then people are talking about the optics of that, so we'll have to wait and see the

it blows my mind, to be honest, because those people, those secret service agents, and i couldn't see exactly who else was there, but those service agents, who are wearing masks, that's not enough protection. and that just concerns me for their health. it concerns me that this is still a president and a white house that is using an extension of a very serious illness and motorcade ride as part of like pr and marketing. it seems like we're seeing this recurring theme of trying to make things sound better. you heard that from dr. conley not just today but yesterday as well about updates of the nt president's decision. >> something that was said on "american voices" regarding one of the medications that the president is being treated with. watch. >> when we put patients on high-dose stroisd like that, we monitor them very closely. there's a host of side effects, including impact on their mental health and decision making. you can see delirium or psychosis. you are generally not yourself. there comes a time when patients on it very specific treatment regimen maybe shouldn't be making deci

remember, the secret service is not just protecting the president.y are protecting the first lady. they're protecting the chief of staff, the national security adviser, other key, government officials that may have been exposed to this virus. so the ripple effect that's going to go through the secret service is significant. and all of this, i just want to put a button on what was said just a moment ago. all of this was avoidable. we should not even have been into this, at this point, right now. the virus is very simple. if we wear a mask, it's the key mitigation. and we chose not to do that. it's -- it baffles me. it is, literally, health security malpractice. the fact that the president of the united states, we know that there is a threat out there. and we did not insist, no one insisted that the president, within his circle, wear a mask. from the secret service standpoint, we would never put the president out into an environment, where we knew that there was gunfire, without potentially putting a vest on. think of that, the same way of -- of we kno

those secret service agents, that's what they go in for. they train to take a bullet for the president. but i don't think they train to take a bullet from the president and in this case, the bullet being covid-19. >> nobody should have to be put at harm's way because their boss or in this case the person they protect decides to do something reckless, but they have no choice. they have no choice. doctor, one of the issues is transparency. the president's doctor admitting yesterday that he was misleading about certain things because he wanted to be more upbeat in public and knows the president watches him on television. another question that neither the doctor or white house will answer, when is the last time the president tested negative for coronavirus. let's listen. >> what was the date of the president's last negative test? >> i'm not getting into the testing going back but he -- and the staff are routinely tested. >> i'm not giving you a detail with time stamps every time he was tested. he tested regularly, first positive test was after
