We want to welcome our viewers in the United States and all around the world. This is new day. It is thursday, september 17th. How did that happen . I know. 6 00 here in new york. President trump escalating his war on fact s and science after the cdc director testified on capitol hill that wearing a mask is more effective protection than any vaccine. And that a Coronavirus Vaccine will not be wildly available until next summer. President trump then undermined dr. Robert redfield by saying he was, quote, confused and misunderstood the questions. The cdc is trying to walk back dr. Redfields comments, seemingly to back up the president. Mr. Trump is also blaming blue states for the u. S. Having the highest death toll in the world, as though were no longer the United States. Nearly 200,000 americans have
The virus still energetic and Strong Enough to kill you. Reporter this announcer this is new day with Alisyn Camerota and john berman. Welcome to our viewers in the United States and all around the world. This is new day and this morning the white house is a coronavirus hot spot. And dr. Anthony fauci says the outbreak there did not have to happen. Take a look at what happened this week at the white house. That is a reality, right there. And every day that goes by, more people are popping up that are infected. Its not a hoax. Its an unfortunate situation when you see Something Like that. Because that could have been prevented. Thats the reality. And its a reality thats getting worse, seemingly, by the hour inside the white house. Not to mention the nation. Dr. Fauci is warning that hundreds of thousands of americans could die this winter. So as we noted, the situation getting worse in the white house. The president s senior adviser, speechwriter, Stephen Miller, the latest white house
Where is the money . Where is the relief . Why wont he send more to people on his own like he did before . Instead of addressing those, at least letting you know that hes aware, he wants you to be aware of the real danger tony fauci. The only thing i say is, uh, hes a little bit sometimes not a team player. Are you talking about fauci or you . Forget that many of you trust fauci about covid way more than trump. Who cares about tony fauci . All due respect. We seem to be collectively standing by as a pandemic is having its way with us. People are in food lines all over this country. Red and blue. The virus is the truth. It doesnt play bs games. It does what it does. Too many of us cant get back to normal. Too many of our kids are in bad school situations. Stressing the kids, stressing our families. Does trump speak to that . A single idea to get things more open . No. He just says we need to get back to normal. Captain obvious could not have said it better. The question for him is, how
Okay and wondering where biden is. Now is the last chance for these guys. Many of you actually solidify your feelings about whom to vote for in the two weeks before an election. Here we are. Trump is likely going to win or lose based on what you think of the pandemic and the response. He knows that. So, the question is why does he think he can hide from covid .

And all the time that he had to build the bridge, the bricks of which would be testing and helping states with tracing, the mortar of it would have been the economic pain that he cant get a deal on. Wheres the money . Wheres the relief . Why wont he send more to people on his own like he did before . Instead of addressing those, at least letting you know that hes aware, he wants you to be aware of the real danger, tony fauci. The only thing i say is hes a little bit sometimes not a team player. A
Whats your reaction to this . Look, its sad. I mean, i think the broader reaction, ana, is where are the republicans . Where is the Republican Leadership and the Republican Party . Governor kemp, rightly or wrongly, has been a close associate of President Trumps, more or less has done what he wanted him to do throughout the pandemic, but he doesnt want to disavow the constitution and break the law. William barr doesnt want to disavow the constitution and break the law. Youve got guys like chris krebs that want to tell the truth and tell the American People that the election was safe and secure, arguably the most secure election ever. And so, you know, hes going to continue to do this. The good news is, even if the governor said that he wanted to do that, there are likely more patriotic men and women that would never let that happen, and even if he was able to flip georgia, that wouldnt even be enough for him to get the Electoral College votes that he needs so hes in it, hes panltpanl p
