i wonder if you think-- >> president trump: well, he's been wrong a lot. like him, but he's been wrong a lot. >> stahl: i wonder if you think that masks don't work. >> president trump: i feel masks possibly work. but certainly you want to stay away a certain distance, socially distance, et cetera. but i would say a mask works. and i have nothing against masks. and i tell people to wear masks. i have no problem-- >> stahl: well, tell me then about these rallies you've been having-- >> president trump: a lot of people are wearing masks, and they're-- outside. >> stahl: --with people-- a lot of people-- aren't. i'm-- i'm watching all these people jammed in together, and i'm seeing most of them without masks. and i'm wondering the message that you're sending with these pictures coming across television-- >> president trump: take a look. yesterday we were in arizona, record-setting rallies. numbers of people like nobody's seen before. >> stahl: you used to have bigger rallies. >> president trump: no, these are much bigger than i ever had. >> stahl: okay, i don't

>> president trump: well, i might. i will do it read three or show, let's go, joe. let's have a fair -- let's get a fair anchor, somebody like the great sean hannity, we will get rush, we will get mark. we will get laura, judge jeanine. >> sean: [laughs] >> president trump: we've got a lot of them out there. we will get jesse or pete. we've got a lot of them. tucker. >> sean: you're going to get me killed all the crosstalk. >> president trump: listen -- this is a disgrace, what's going on. now i find out the guy that's doing it from c-span is a never-trumper but i don't mind that. look at the people i've had in the past mile was was won the debate. i had martha, her hatred was so incredible, i couldn't believe it, but i beat hillary in that debate, easily. i don't mind that. it's not even that, but i'm not going to sit behind a computer and have somebody feed him answers because he has no idea because he won't be president for three months before the wonderful kamala takes over with her -- she's the most liberal person -- she's not a socialist, she is a step beyond

signing up to establish diplomatic ties with israel alan fischer has the latest eyes for donald trump well he seems to embrace the idea of making small deals across the middle east rather than look his previous s.s. trying to build one all the compassing middle east deal he believes that this changes the reality on the ground he already got a deal signed between the united arab emirates and bahrain to recognize israel remember the abraham accords were signed here at the white house just in september just over a month ago and he believes that there are 5 other countries who are ready to sign up to this deal libya's rival factions have signed a permanent ceasefire agreement the u.n. broad compact which orders all foreign fighters out of the country comes ahead of political talks next month it was signed into naval officer nearly a decade of conflict. tensions been growing in guinea where the army has mobilized after results show the president winning a controversial 3rd term security forces have dispersed opposition protesters with tear gas and he's 25 people have been killed in the unrest s

so hugh pym, if i can begin with you, how vulnerable is donald trump? wellent trump is in the most vulnerable category or approaching the most vulnerable category. anybody over 65 is more at risk, if the get covid—19 of becoming seriously ill, and the chances of death increase quite substantially as you get older beyond that. he is 7a. the death rate for 75—year—olds and over is one in 25, with covid—19. so that still leaves a lot of people who get coronavirus, who go into hospital, who do pull through, we should emphasise that. the president also has a high bmi — body mass index. patients who are overweight and obese are more vulnerable, and also men are more vulnerable than women. so he is very much in a vulnerable category but we should keep stressing that going into hospital does not in any way mean that he has not got a good chance of recovering quickly. henry chu, give me a sense of what you are seeing and hearing from the us. there's been a lot of different responses. they are politically governed to a degree but this has been a real shock, hasn't it?

it's likely to get under president trump's skin. >> well, it's definitely going to get under presidentkin. it already has. he was in his north carolina rally tonight after president obama's speech. he was referring to him as barack hussein obama and saying his inauguration crowd really was bigger than obama's, when, of course, it wasn't. so i think that is a significant fact. and the president has a lot of ability to reach a broad swath of voters. but i do think the most important thing that he did tonight was not triggering trump for the debate tomorrow, which he will. but encouraging those marginal voters, especially younger voters of color, telling them, no, it's not hopeless. we're not going to solve everything overnight. but we can make things better, and that's a reason to go vote. remember, hillary clinton had a dropoff in 2016 from president obama's turnout levels among african-americans, in places like philadelphia, milwaukee, detroit. that helped tip the election to donald trump. and that's where, i think, the president can be especially useful to the biden campaign. >> nia,

well. thank you both. president trump will join us in a moment. first joining us with 26 days out, his take, the architect, karl rove. that's the great one, mark levin. they will join us in a minute, but first, karl rove. karl, listen, they lied about fracking, they lied on taxes, they lied on the issue of race. they're now talking about packing the courts. joe -- schumer says everything's on the table, ending the filibuster is on the table, ending the electoral college is on the table, d.c., puerto rico statehood is on the table. karl rove, they are not -- how are they getting away with not answering fund mental questions and lying at such a high level? >> well, they're getting away with it because they're not being held to account by the media and because when they say things like joe biden said today that he doesn't want to become an issue and he will tell you after the election, their signaling to us exactly what they're going to do and here's what they're going to do. they're going to change the senate rules to no longer require six devotes t

of risk there is to the other man running for the white house that helps to replace donald trump because well donald trump is in his mid seventy's joe biden is even older 78 i believe and so anyone of advanced age we know is at enormous risk for coke at 90 so in terms of the ramifications they're still being felt at the white house is in crisis mode right now as it tries to scramble and deal with the emitted responsibilities and duties of the president how things will move forward the continuity of government is being activated we know will even a confirmation of that i can tell you my sources said this would be standard protocol and in terms of how things play out for the election campaign that is still very much an open question and for a president who has relied more on personal campaigning appearances and campaigning rallies shall we say than for example joe biden who's been trying to do it i think if i'd say more virtually than donald trump this represents a more potentially disruptive development right. this is absolutely a disruptive element it's very hard to see how this campaign cont

donald trump finally did something about it. well, you keep telling me donald trump has delivered.n healthcare. how do you feel when donald trump just brazenly lies about his record? and i'm thinking, for example, how on the campaign trail over the last week or so he has been telling mass audiences that mexico has paid for the wall. that's not true. i think there's a lot of hyperbole in that, stephen. and i'm not going to argue that. but i can say this, whenjoe biden says i'm for fracking, i'm against fracking, i'm forfracking, i'm against fracking, you can keep your own healthcare, no, we're going to take it away through socialised medicine, or i'm not going to tell you if i'm going to pack the supreme court or not, those are lies. when he says that he never had anything to do with his son's dealings with burisma, but now we know that there was a meeting in the white house about it — 100% lies. so, unfortunately, if you're looking for purity, you might find it in the pulpit, maybe not, you're not going to find it in politics. i'm not saying that's an excuse for it, but i'm saying

coal mine was arizona senator, martha mcsally. >> are you proud of your support for president trump? >> wellat i'm fighting for arizonians. >> are you proud of your support for president trump? >> i'm proud to be fighting for arizona every single day. >> mcsally's losing by ten points to mark kelly. turns out trump's a liability in arizona with his repeated insults to hispanics and the state's favorite son, john mccain. sure, the base loves trump. but get this, independents make up 32% of registered voters in arizona, and trump has just a 37% approval among independents nationwide. this isn't just an arizona problem. in texas, polls show a surprisingly tight race between trump and biden. and perhaps not coincidentally, john cornyn is now speaking out about the confusion that trump created with his covid response. and there's sign of a donald drag all over the states. take a look at the polls from six key swing states and that's carrying over to key senate race. in iowa, a state that voted for trump by almost ten points, senator jonie ernest is down five points. in colorado, cory gardner has

do you see any place that republicans are doing well but trump isn't or vice versa. > yeah. i think it's really important to point out that what we have seen historically in the last few election cycles is that there is an increasing correlation between the results and the top of the ballot and then the results, you know, further down on the ballot, both at the house and senate levels. what i will say is there are perhaps a few republicans who might have household names, specifically in pennsylvania. fitzpatrick seems to be holding on. that's a district that hillary clinton did well in in 2016 and joe biden is probably going to win by double digits. but to be honest, those examples are few and far between. if anything, there are democrats who seem to be holding on to their seats despite trump being popular in those districts than republicans. >> let me pull you away from the numbers and see if your power of perspective holds. former president barack obama was atypically aggressive today with what he was saying about president trump. i have never heard any former presi

how vulnerable is donald trump? wellent trump is in the most vulnerable category or approaching the most vulnerable category. anyone over 65 is more at risk if they get covid—19, of becoming seriously ill. and the chances of death increase quite substantially as you get older beyond that. he is 7a. the death rate for 75—year—olds are and over is one in 25, with covid—19. that still leaves a lot of people who get coronavirus, who go into hospital, who do pulled through and we should emphasise that. the president also has a emphasise that. the president also hasa bmi, emphasise that. the president also has a bmi, body mass index, patients who are overweight and obese are more vulnerable and also men are more vulnerable and also men are more vulnerable and also men are more vulnerable than women. so he is very much in a vulnerable category. but we should keep stressing that going into hospital does not in any way mean that he has not got a good chance of recovering quickly. henry, give mea chance of recovering quickly. henr

joe biden is talking in negativity that usually doesn't play well president trump is talking about optimism i started in washington as a reagan person in the 1970 s. and he was always about optimism the president was is optimistic and that is the president's role and the president has handled the coronavirus very quickly the only gaffe last night was. about fracking an oil rich talks about the well we'll see how cancers vote swell and how texas i think that was a major mistake by the vice president on the energy issues i think going to cost him in pennsylvania it's going to cost him in key states ohio included ok just on that in a long rick adolfo he's saying they still are handling of the coakley $1000.00 he was exemplary was what was to rhetoric by president. well the american people already made up their minds about the president's handling of covert in that in every survey they view his handling as a disaster there are 220000 americans who have died because of coded and if we have the same death rate as germany where we had a where there was a competent leadership that directed people e

e-mails that threatened we will come after you if the recipients didn't vote for president donald trump well the f.b.i. announcement came as campaigning enters its final stages of the upcoming vote president trump was cheered by supporters in the battleground state of north carolina democrats meanwhile brought out their biggest star to stump for biden. hello 3rd of her. years and honks for former u.s. president barack obama at a drive in rally as he hit the campaign trail for joe biden the democratic nominee and his from i suppress it and it's obama didn't mince words when it came to current president donald trump. i get that this president wants full credit for the economy a narrative and 0 blame for the pandemic but here you know. but you know what the job doesn't work that what pointing at the television doesn't fix things. obama highlighted biden's contribution to his own presidency and he urged voters to show up we can't be complacent i don't care about the polls there are bunch of polls last time didn't work out because all those folks stayed at home and got lazy and complacent not thi

move as abc news confirmed 17 others who were either on the white house grounds or in contact with trump wellor, sean conley told reporters that his entire medical staff approved trump's discharge. >> he may not entirely be out of the woods yet. the team and i agree, that all of his evaluations and the clinical status support the president's safe return home. >> when asked about brain function, dr. conley pointed to trump's social media post. >> can you talk about if hee hee neurological issues? >> if you look at the tweets, he is back, yeah. >> the president filmed this moments after walking in the white house. >> don't let it dominate you. don't be afraid of it. >> i think we all had hoped given what he has been through that he would finally take the virus seriously. and i think many of us fohenite. and 30,000 people hospitalized. according toei aase i cases. the 7 day national average is now the highest it has been since august 22nd. more than 10,000 americans across the country have died in the past two weeks alone. people like beloved coach derek leppard, from olith, kansas. marner saw,

david, do we know if president trump as well as joe do we know if president trump as well asjoe bidener in the week? we don't know exactly but there was a time, at least, when donald trump was getting tested, and mike pence, every day. now, hope hicks certainly, that is the close adviser who basically seemed to have said this ball rolling, if you like, as she was diagnosed earlier in the day, as she was tested, you know, on tuesday, and on wednesday, because she was travelling with the president on air force one. on both occasions the results came back negative, then there was a test on thursday. after she developed some symptoms. and she tested positive on that occasion. then somewhat later, donald trump and the first lady confirmed they had tested positive for the coronavirus. but you know, if the president of the united states with access to the sort of testing and the regularity of testing and the regularity of testing that he is exposed to, get this virus, this potentially lethal virus, it really underlines how importantan virus, it really underlines how important an issue this i

when you take a look at the biden campaign and the trump campaign, what does the president's covid diagnosis do to both? >> well have president trump who he just launched the operation maga that means that a lot of his subordinate campaign coalition and vice president pence they're going to be hitting the campaign trail and a lot of work for him but he's doing a lot of work behind the scenes as well. until the president feels strong you have in to hit the campaign trail himself. but ultimately it does sort of sideline him now a lot of people, of course, are saying well, you know, this is beginning to sort of hit him on weak side because he was criticized about how he handled the pandemic. but a number of republicans, including kevin mccarthy said wait a minute he'll be able to talk about the fact that he's using therapeutics to get better and talk about a lot of vaccination that are sort of the development. that was something that the democrats didn't want him talking about. so that's going to sort of help him over on that end. as far as biden is concerned, this gives him a chance to sort of get out there himse

trump. we wish them well. s a serious concern, especially for older americans like the president, who are vulnerable. remember yesterday, president trump traveled to new jersey. he participated in a fundraiser. he was endorsed by close supporters. we do hold a lot of concern for the president and those around him. at think this is undoubtedly going to cast a great -- i think this is undoubtedly going to cast a great deal of uncertainty in the coming weeks. this is the most consequential presidential election this side of the world war. it's difficult to understate how difficult it is to have a president and the white house vulnerable to a pandemic that has killed more than 200,000 americans. we are looking forward to october 7, vice presidential debate. i think even that will be concerned -- uncertain. even at a social distance with the debate, just a week after the president debated vice president biden and may already have had the test only came through recently. we don't know the other surrounding factors ye

trump: well, thank you very much and keep that enthusiasm going. get out and vote.have to vote these people into oblivion. vote them into oblivion. got to get rid of them. so bad for our country. i'm feeling great, i don't know about you. how is everyone? [cheering] i'm honored to welcome -- we call this a peaceful protest -- to the white house in support of the incredible men and women of law enforcement and all of the people that work so well with us. i have to tell you, our black community, our hispanic community, thank you very much. [applause] but before going any further, i want to thank all of you for your prayers. i know you have been praying. i was in that hospital. i was watching down over so many people. i went out to say hello to those people. i took a little heat for it but i will do it again. [applause] on behalf of myself and the first lady, this has been an incredible outpouring. we are starting very big with our rallies and everything because we cannot allow our country to become a socialist nation. we cannot let that happen. that's what would happe

we'll see what happens i mean who knows the white house physician sean conley said trump and the 1st lady are both well at this time and that the white house medical team will maintain a vigilant watch lonnie a trump later tweeted we are feeling good trump has several risk factors that put him in danger of complications from covert 19 he is in his bid seventy's and overweight would have to wait for the next 2 days and now for some people get really sick within hours but you know some people don't get sick until week after and so we have the reading be carefully observing the situation trump has declined to wear a mask on many occasions occluding at rallies where many of his supporters also refused to wear a mask. his entourage including family members went masculists at the tuesday debate trump even ridiculed democratic candidate joe biden for wearing a mask as recommended by virtually all public health experts i don't wear mess like him every time you see him he's got a mask he could be speaking 200 feet away from and he shows up with the biggest mask i've ever seen if trump would have become seriousl

of infection is a reminder of how serious the pandemic is he wished donald and melania trump well but said he would withdraw campaign ads negative campaign ads about the president. in other news armenia says it's ready to work with mediators to reestablish a cease fire and they're going to care about i mean it and as a voice on forces have been fighting over the disputed region for 6 day the u.s. russia and france have called for resumption of talks people in india are defying a protest ban in the state of utter pradesh following the recent gang day gang rape and death of 2 women from the marginalised islet community. those are the headlines the news continues here on al-jazeera. on counting the cost of tensions in the south china sea of a shrinking fish stocks as painting sends out a naval bomb aba its take its place plus response of both capitalism to be impressive to golf the chief executive officer strangely a modified counting the coffee on al-jazeera. you to. have. but at the budget if you get out of a guy wanting. to hit something at that point that is because. he said you

infection is just a reminder of how serious the pandemic is he wished donald and melania trump well and said he would withdraw a negative campaign ads about the president. on let's get our dates from the walter reed national military medical center where trump has been admitted mike hanna is joining us on the president's expected to stay there for a few days mike. that's what he starts say as expected to be here for a few days one member of his star of saying that it will be for 4 days out off and this is a phrase that has been repeated throughout the day and abundance of caution now we saw president trump send a video message tweeted out a video message to his supporters thanking everybody for their support we also saw him physically walk out of the white house and board marine force one on its way here and i was at the gates here when the helicopter landed and president walked out of the helicopter an assistant got into a waiting car and was driven off to the center of the complex behind me here.

well i don't think we should give up on donald trump's supporters vigor wanting to gather i think you know a lot of those supporters are going to say well remember it's not that we've denied that coat it exists we've denied that it's anything worse than the winter flu and so unless we see donald trump on ventilators unless we see him in a hospital bed which i don't know that he would ever allow us to actually see i think a lot of these folks are so going to gather together they're still going to balk at wearing masks and they're going to say look this is the flu we should not deny that this is something that's going i'm going to be hard to turn those those diehards around but look this is the worst thing that could have happened for both candidates is now talking about hope it is unleashing so many uncertainties about policies that might be looking forward for the next 4 years that people were hoping for the economy health schools hospitals lots of things that both candidates really wanted to avoid and of course you focus a lot on sociology and sociologically speaking how does this me

well. thank you very much. i will never forgot it. >> reporter: the president giving an update on the first lady, melania trump as well, she is doing fine. from what will we understand, she has experienced even milder symptoms that the president has. i also want to point to the tweet that the president sent out late last night. here it is quote, going well, i think, thank you to all. and in all lapcaps, he writes l. the president obviously being observed closely here. there are a lot of open questions for this white house and the presidential campaign as well. notably, some of the president's comments in the last few months about the coronavirus. even in the last few days talking about rounding the curve and being near the end of this virus in the united states. also the rallies that i've attended that many journalists have attended over the last few weeks, thousands and thousands of people in very close proximity not following cdc guidelines. a lot of people not wearing masks. and on top of that events that the white house has held in the white house complex including one week the nomination of amy coney barrett to replace ruth ba

trump is nearly 20 years older. so well wishes are pouring in from around the world and around washington. here's speaker of the house nancy pelosi. >> of course as with everyone, we all receive that news with great sadness. i always pray for the president's family that they're safe. and i know that he'll have the best of care. and that's what we want for everyone in our country. >> you can't really caulk about the president having covid-19 without addressing the fact that he has routinely dismissed the dangers of coronavirus. yesterday a cornell study said he was the biggest single source of misinformation about coronavirus in the entire world. even speaker pelosi, who is a pious catholic says the president has made fun of pelosi's claims of prayer. the president's made fun of joe biden for wearing a mask. you're going to see that in a minute. the president four years ago today exactly four years ago today almost down to the hour october 2nd, 2016, made fun of hillary clinton falling ill from pneumonia on the campaign trai

but joe biden didn't perform well and donald trump, honestly, did not perform well.thought it was a hit show with an s, and they expect more if these candidates. i'm not going to get you fined, gerry, i promise you that. [laughter] they want to know, if you're an undecided voter, you want details, you want substance, and they got one of it. all they got was two candidates yelling at each other, and if that's what happens in the next two debates, it's actually going to depress turnout as these people decide to hell with all of them. gerry: the president may be off the scene for a couple weeks now. assuming he comes after that, what has he got to do in these final few weeks when he can campaign to turn this around? >> he's got to make joe biden tell the truth. he's got to make joe biden explain exactly what he's going to do on the first day, first 100 days, first year. he's going to show biden may be talking as a moderate but that many of the policies that his team advocates is out of the far left. the key for donald trump is to make joe biden extreme rather than mains

well, that was quick. that was quick indeed. president trumpempting his own medical team by announcing the big thing, that he is leaving at 6:30pm today, just about two and half hours. also, venturing off to say that he is 7a years old and he says he feels better than he did 20 years ago at 5a, covid is not a big deal, don't let it dominate your life, and we have great care in the united states. so a lot to unpack and that single tweet from president trump. just to show that he does not wanted to look like he was completely ta ken he does not wanted to look like he was completely taken out by covid, it was just a few days, i walk in the park, and he's ready to go back to work. it's interesting, because we have been told what he's been treated with, some of it, not controversial, but quite exploratory, it? it will be interesting to hear from exploratory, it? it will be interesting to hearfrom his clinician about what the medical response to that has been. clinician about what the medical response to that has beenm clinician about what the medica

everything great that you may have liked about donald trump's presidency even if you didn't like donald trump wellthat's all gone now and it's going to be hard to build back and says you don't have those jobs you don't have the economy that donald trump put in place guess what you're also not going to have some of those other things you're worried about. that is overcrowding racial injustice and number of other issues including health care which is a big problem for millions of americans so i think where they are separate is on their economic policies but it found out very quickly and i should point out it also found that we heard it as they discussed climate change because donald trump really defended his rolling back of some environmental regulations are saying they're just too expensive and i care more about jobs right now and making sure that the united states has a fair chance in the global stage as long as india and china he alleges continue to be major global polluters like kimberly how did that thanks so much for that let's bring in allan lichtman he's a professor of history at american un

do you think that is still a possibility when it comes to trump. well again nothing should be excluded. from a to live boss they're like cool to this scenario is not big. corps the current pretty lax them well during elections since the vote is a little go among situation favors by. the end you know the fundamental difference of the distributional forces on the eve of the november 3 vote is that even $26.00 team. was behind hillary clinton throughout the country but. they were they fit almost the same support raising in this way states which are decisive fully outcome of the election day. but is systemic really. don't know trump in all or nearly all the swing states and you know the current your argument that people who'll well one reason or another prefer trying without necessarily likely can. not ask for each express that political preferences as people from the other can't so again be the lady of those polls it's probably even more questionable that it was a 2016 well i disagree you know folk well i partly agree and partly disagree agree with you tha

well. it's possible that the white house and mr trump as well have developed a false sense of security because've been doing. i think he is tested every day at least, so there's a sense that if you test negative, he is ok, but you are only ok until your next test, frankly, because you could get covid between one of the other if you are not following the also, hejust had a if you are not following the also, he just had a very strong antipathy to admitting that the disease was getting worse, that he might have failed in how he handled the pandemic, and he just really wanted everything to go back to the way it was. he seemed to be willing it to go back to the way it was. so there may have been that kind of psychological blocks or mental decision as well. but you are right, it is an interesting contradiction. let's speak to our north america correspondent, peter bowes. lets sta nd lets stand back a little bit. donald trump is meant to be the most protected man in the world — not just most protected man in the world — notjust him but the inner circle around him — and yet we see news just now kellya

trump all or nearly all the swing states and you know. cantero argument that people who'll well one reason or another prefer trying without necessarily liking can't. not ask for each express that political preferences as people from the other camps again be related to those poles it's probably even more questionable than it was in 2016 well i disagree you know folk well i partly agree and partly disagree agree with you that there is a so-called silent majority. from supporters who just don't want to express their opinion publicly at the same time their ease of the difference in the polls bittman going 216202028 is these are the players behind by india in the major swing states which increase the chances for biden to be. elected president although i think there will be multiple quarrels so the elections. then there will be a different pace of the volt calculations the unfolding by. a factor this might trigger in some greater instability in the american streets refusal of either decides to. accept to recognize defeat this will be a precondition for even deeper political instabilit
