i'm yasmin vossoughian. we're going to start with joe biden and kamala harris together for first time yesterday. it was inside a delaware gym and was truly a sign of the times, face masks and socially distant, mostly a made-for-tv moment with cameras and no audience. biden introduced his running mate and explained his selection and kamala harris explained how she came to know joe. they talked about rebuilding the country and unifying against donald trump, especially his handling of the pandemic. >> and let me tell you, somebody who has presented my fair share of arguments in court, the case against donald trump and mike pence is open and shut. when other countries are following the science, trump pushed miracle cures he saw on fox news. while other countries were flattening the curve, he said the virus would just, poof, go away, quote, like a miracle. so when other countries opened back up for business, what did we do? we had to shut down again. this virus has impacted almost every country, but there's a rea

i'm yasmin vossoughian.e have a lot to cover this morning, after many weeks and months, franklies of speculation, joe biden has announced senator kamala harris as his running mate in the 2020 election. in text messages and emails biden broke the news writing in part this, i have decided that kamala harris is the best person to help me take this fight to donald trump and mike pence and then to lead this nation starting in january 2021. shortly after that, he posted the announcement on twitter called harris a, quote, fearless fighter of the little guy and one of the country's finest servants. joe biden said the news of the pick highlighted his biggest fundraising hour of his campaign. reporting more than 10.8 million in donations before 4:00 and 8:00 p.m. yesterday. biden's announcement comes more than a year after he and harris, a former presidential candidate, clashed on harris' record on race during the first democrat eck debate. if elected, kamala would become the nation's first black, south asian-american

yasmin?g at my second point, or my second question, which is, how did they narrow this list down to just these last two standing? and what do you think from your reporting is going to put one of them over the edge to clinch the spot of vp? >> they're narrowing this list through polling. they're narrowing this list through dozens of conversations that are happening out throughout time, and they're narrowing it throughout the vetting process we've seen. i misspoke a little bit -- it's not the nomination. obviously, joe biden's going to get it. they want the presidency. that's the goal here. the final decision is really going to come down to joe biden and his close advisers. now, remember, a lot of his longtime, close advisers, have longstanding relationships with democrats throughout town, and it's those democrats that are advocating for senator harris, because harris is a traditional pick, right? she's been vetted. she's gone through the process. it's difficult to go back, really, in the last

i'm yasmin vossoughian. we're going to begin with the latest developments regarding the u.s. postal service. the house oversight committee saying postmaster general louis dejoy has agreed to testify before the panel on monday to address the sweeping changes that democrats say are meant to undermine the fall election. so at the same time the president rails against efforts to expand mail-in voting during this pandemic, dejoy has eliminated positions of thousands of postal workers, issuing a hiring freeze, and postal workers were removed or, in fact, reassigned. the changes have led to mail delays and a warning that mail-in ballots may arrive too late. very troubling. north carolina businessmen have donated hundreds of millions to joe biden's campaign. he also has conflicts of interest. dejoy divested stock in ups before becoming postmaster general, but he continues to own a large majority stake in a lodgistics company. and also the president began an answer by saying this. i didn't speak to the postmaster gen

i'm yasmin vossoughian. so let's start with the democrats wrapping up their convention last night with former vice president joe biden formally accepting the party's nomination for president. in his speech, biden implored americans to help him, quote, end this chapter of american darkness. speaking against fear, anger, and division, the presidential nominee vowed to be a, quote, ally of the light. as president, bind said his first priority would be to get the virus under control by implementing a national strategy, something the president has failed to do. >> just judge this president on the facts. 5 million americans affected by covid-19. more than 170,000 americans have died. by far, the worst performance of any nation on earth. more than 50 million people have filed for unemployment this year. more than 10 million people are going to lose their health insurance this year. nearly one in six small businesses have closed this year. and this president, if he's re-elected, you know what will happen. cases and

yasmin?et another issue on mail-in voting when we're just three month asian way on a very important presidential election, and they still don't have this thing under control and figure this thing out. talk about what some voter turnout groups are doing to reverse this trend of returned or rejected ballots as we saw displayed in that interview you just did. >> well, experts have been telling me. as i said, it's a serious problem. when you look at the percentages of rejected ballots, you're looking at 1% to 3% of the total ballots cast. look at the margins we see in so many of these states, especially when you look to the 2016 election. so i met with the group that was in wisconsin. this is a state that president trump won by just under 23,000 votes. we saw during the primary, there were about 79,000 ballots that only counted because of a court order. they're going door to door trying to get people to vote by mail. they isseiing to do it early and follow the instructions on the maine ballots. >

yasmin. dr.t your reaction when you hear those numbers. >> my reaction, wolf, is that 2020 might become the first year in history in which more than 3 million americans died in a single year. that has never occurred. last year was the record, 2.8 million. we could see 5% or 10% increase in all deaths. this is not rearranging the deck chairs. this is not just people on death's doorstep and coronavirus is getting the blame. these are real lives being lost and we need to confront that. when we slow down this virus, that means when the vaccine comes there are more people who can benefit from it. i want people to know this is a historic situation. >> certainly is. dr. yasmin, the director dr. robert redfield of the cdc, the centers for disease control and prevention, now says he's hopeful that deaths and case numbers will start to drop as early as next week. listen to this. >> these interventions are going to have a lag. that lag's going to be three, four weeks. you and i are going to see the cases co

our guests joining me tonight are the journalist and author yasmin alibhai—brown and andy silvester ofncy teams who had been searching for two teenagers missing off the lancashire coast since last night, have found two bodies. the teenagers from west yorkshire got into difficulties in the water at lytham st annes last night. a third person, their cousin, is recovering after managing to swim to shore. 0ur correspondent fiona trott is in lytham st annes. this is the coast guard office at lytha m this is the coast guard office at lytham st annes and the family of 18—year—old muhammad azhar shabbir and his 16—year—old brother arrived here about an hour ago. they came just minutes after lancashire police confirmed two bodies had been found. it's hard to imagine what the past 24 it's hard to imagine what the past 2a hours have been like for them, since that initial call came in. the start of an 18 hour search. and this was just one part of it. one of these rnli lifeboats was out for 15 hours and was laterjoined by another from blackpool. the coastguard helicopter and ground patrols were also

i'm yasmin vossoughian. we've got a lot to cover this morning.right to the coverage and the breaking news of hurricane laura barreling the shores of texas and louisiana this morning around 2:00 a.m. eastern as a category 4 bringing with it extreme winds and storm surge. according to the national hurricane center, the fast-moving hurricane explode yesterday and gained strength into the night. with that, i want to go to nbc meteorologist bill karins who's standing by for us and has been tracking the storm all night. bill, take us through what we're seeing and its trajectory as it made landfall with those

that does it for me this friday morning, i'm yasmin vossoughian.ing joe" starts right now. >>> my fellow americans with a heart full of the gratitude and boundless optimism. i profoundly accept this nomination for president of the united states. >> very big crowd there. that was president trump proudly or profoundly accepting the nomination for a second term. okay. it was about 1,500 people that gathered at the white house. it was -- they were all packed together. not a lot of masks. no social distancing at all. but at least the president's supporters practiced good hygiene, right rudy. >> in the summer, who stood by me

yasmin. doctor, it is good to see you. i want to start where we're all going through this, this struggle of back to school, the calendar to move into later august coming up on the fall and listen here to the former surgeon general saying we better be careful because if things are bad now, when flu season comes it's more complicated. >> the symptoms will be hard to distinguish and because of the challenges ongoing with testing capacity it may take us a while to figure out with a person with a fever has covid or something else which means if people isolated for longer and harder to keep workplaces and schools open. >> help us understand that challenge. a stubborn high coronavirus case baseline and the flu season right around the corner. >> so, john, we really worry about the two epidemics and pandemics converging because in an average pretty bad flu season just dealing with flu alone that in and of itself can start to overwhelm the american health care system. factor into that a pandemic that we have not been able to get und

seema yasmine. i need you to help people understand. state by state map, that is the most optimistic map i have been able to show in quite sometime and yet you hear dr. fauci and dr. birx say potential trouble ahead. explain that. >> potential trouble ahead, john, because we are kind of playing whack-a-mole in that some states with the surges in the spring and then they see a decline and then we see more hotspots. states dealing with infections, hospitalizations and deaths so etch as you say rightly florida and arizona starting to plateau, seeing a decline two things are happening. one is in most states they're still not doing enough testing on a daily basis. in arizona they're only doing about 16%, 16% of the daily testing they should be doing. really low. the test positivity rate is really high. i'm worried and what i think dr. fauci is alluding to with bad predictions for the future is even as some states get a handle on things possibly we are seeing spikes in montana, missouri and oklahoma so these are mid western states that histor

when we look at the most high profile allegations in the recent past, just a small bubba wallace, yasminmy, not hard to go on. that all collapsed and there's interesting questions about the motivation of people involved in the incidents and why they happen on the political sphere. but a strange case but we have seen it before. >> shannon: pointing to another case that happened in bethesda in the up scale school outside of d.c. here, where there's a couple of incidents. graffiti, racist in nature perpetrated on the local school. there is the attorney who is now involved in defending one of the kids who got in trouble but he says this. "one of american's top 100 public high schools, students and faculty imagine white hooded riders racing through the tidy house after two incidents of lynching." he said that nobody told the people of bethesda that the graffiti or painter of both incidents was african-american and that the other students that he is defending and this did not was going to go down. he said i think that's important for the community that has been so worried that there was a race

it is friday, august 14th, and i'm yasmin vossoughia

that is why, as i said earlier, yasmin, you can't healing without the injury. have a bunch of people in the waiting room, talking about healing each other, while you have the patient laying in the operating room, hoping somebody will come and do surgery. and he's being ignored. >> it's like being an alcoholic and acknowledging you have a problem. you've got to say i am an alcoholic before you can address the problem and get better. rev, i thinkable this a lot. and you and i have had a lot of conversations about racial injustice in this country because there's no better person to talk about it than with you. and i wonder, there's no mile markers for change, because this is 400 years of systemic racism in this country, and there are so many folks distraught about what is happening in this country. but what are the mile markers? what are the moments that we can look at and say yes, change is on the horizon. something is happening. the hiring practices in police departments is changing. sensitivity training is happening in police departments, community involvement

joining us now, cnn political reporter, nia-malika henderson, abby phillip, and yasmin wright, who was embedded with senator harris during her presidential campaign. nia, i want to start with you. i'm fascinated by the coverage of this pick this morning, because it is being portrayed as historic, groundbreaking, and safe. how can it be all three things at the very same time? >> i've been on the record talking about how the idea is that picking an african-american woman, picking an asian-american woman is safe, because, you know, history just doesn't bear that out. this is an historic pick, if you look throughout history. very few african-american women have ascended to these heights in politics. senate seats, for instance, a governor's seat, no black woman governor in the history of this country. so i don't think it's a safe pick. i think it's a smart pick for joe biden for all sorts of reasons. it's a bold pick, but it's also a risky pick in some ways. you think about where we were in 2016, and the ways in which we know what donald trump likes to do. and that is play on white anxiety,
