If we are going to see big issues from the storm, its going to be three to five inches of rain from richmond to washington, d. C. And possibly the mountains outside of new york city. We will watch that closely over the next couple days. Keeping an eye on the storm for us. This morning, tens of millions of americans are waking up without the 600 a week federal unemployment benefit that expired at midnight on friday. The president s top advisers are working with congress, but struggling to reach a deal this morning. Kelly odonnell is at the white house with more. Good morning. Reporter good morning. Additional talks are set for today and again tomorrow to deal with these issues that affect so Many American lives. Like enhanced federal unemployment benefits, protection for renters against eviction, funding for schools to reopen safely and more. While there is pressure to act quickly, they arent there yet. Progress but no deal yet for out of work americans in the next covid relief package. This is one of the greatest problems america faces, and we need to meet those needs in a very serious way. Reporter talks between senior democrats and the white house continued through the weekend. Speaker pelosi sending a letter to colleagues saturday night. All parties must understand the gravity of the situation. This is not a usual discussion, because the urgency is so great. Reporter among the key issues, extending enhanced unemployment benefits, eviction protection for renters, funding for schools to reopen safely and Liability Protection to limit covid lawsuits. Were still a long ways apart. I dont want to suggest that a deal is imminent, because it is not. Reporter covid Economic Hardship is all too real for this family in georgia. Being furloughed and not having an income for this many months was very unexpected. Reporter this married mother of two has relied on extra government help and worries about the just expired 600 weekly federal unemployment check that kept them afloat. At this point, without that assistance, we cant maintain the life that we have built for ourselves. Reporter President Trump, who spent hours on the golf course saturday, also took a swing at dr. Fauci on twitter disputing his testimony about how europe slowed the spread with more aggressive mitigation than the u. S. We really functionally shut down only about 50 . Reporter President Trump without evidence declared that wrong. In that same tweet the president persisted with his complaint that more testing has resulted in more cases. That goes against the science that says the outbreaks we are seeing in so many places around the country are because the virus is spreading not because more tests are being done. Willie . Kelly odonnell at white house, thank you so much. Chuck todd is nbcs political director and moderator of meet the press. Good to see you. Lets start with the Coronavirus Relief package, 4. 6 million cases, a steady climb through july in deaths in the country as well. The gdp dropped 33 year over year in the second quarter. That 600 a week unemployment check went away for a lot of americans at midnight friday. Do you sense congress feels the urgency that so Many American families like the ones we saw in kellys piece there, are they reflecting the urgency of the American People on this . Look, its hard to say that they are. Its hard look in fairness i dont know if i would lump them all together. The democrats passed a bill a couple months ago. I think they would argue that they met the urgency of the moment and they would argue its the republicans that havent met this moment here. Thats been part of the problem. You have a Republican Party thats very much divided on this issue. You have some old philosophical divides that think there is too much spending going on, worried about incentives that this comes in. Theres just the president s er rad erratic behavior that gums this up. I dont know why theres an urgency. Think about thursday. The economy contracted by over 30 . That was with all the benefits. What would the economy have looked like without it . If they havent done anything this a week, the urgency will be there. We have 10 of people saying they dont have enough food, 25 of people in one survey said they missed a rent or mortgage payment. The benefits expired friday. The unemployed americans left in the middle with nothing right now. Lets talk about the president s tweet on thursday where he asked the question of whether this election should be delayed. He tried to walk it back a little bit, then walked into it as he often does again. We served republicans where they dismissed this out of hand. They came out strongly across the board. Some are saying he is trolling you in the media. Senator mcconnell, for example, and many other prominent republicans said, this is not happening. We will have the election on november 3rd. Forget what the president said. What did you read into, first the president s comment . And second, the republican reaction to it. Look, if he was winning, would he have said it . Thats a pretty obvious answer. The answer is no. You only complain about the r e rules when you are losing. You dont complain when you are winning. Lets look at it that way. Willie, this is the damage has been done. The amount of questions that the president has used the bully pulpit to raise about Election Integrity has undermined the outcome here. Whether its 10 of the population that wont believe it, 15 , 20 , 30 , we dont know what the number is. But theres going to be a chunk, thanks to the president s own conspiracy theories on this. Then here is the other part of this, willie. He is undermining the Republican Party. The state of florida, for instance, mailin voting is how is among one of the ways that they make sure those snowbirds vote. Its stupid on a strategic front. But its deeply dangerous for the democracy. The president s declared this election rigged based on false information. Check, tha chuck, thanks so much. We will watch this morning on meet the press when chuck talks to a member of the Coronavirus Task force. A rescue member for eight Service Members who went missing in Southern California is over with the military saying they are presumed dead. 15 marines and one sailor were riding off the coast when it began to take on water and sank.

Public Health Experts like dr. Fauci and dr. Redfield reminded us of the importance of wearing a mask to avoid the spread of coronavirus. They were compelled to do so after the president retweeted to his 84 million followers a video of fringe doctors claiming falsely that masks dont work. That was the beginning of the bizarre misinformation which included witches, demons and alien dna. It may sound laughable. Magical cures run rampant online with an impact on the fight against this disease. Steve patterson takes a closer look in our sunday focus. Reporter as the death toll of american lives lost to covid mounts higher, President Trump promoted this video as a convenient truth. I have personally tweeted over 250 patients with covid. You dont need masks. Theres a cure. Reporter thats a houston area pushing hydroxychloroquine as a treatment for covid but as part of a cure. After the video went viral, the president praised her. She was on air along with many other doctors. They were big fans of hydroxychloroquine. I thought she was very impressive. Reporter in the past, she has made other questionable claims, includes gynecology cysts are caused by dreams with demons. Her assertion that high droc hydroxychloroquine can cure coronavirus has been rejected. Hydroxychloroquine is not effective in the treatment of coronavirus disease or covid19. Reporter as the u. S. Crosses a grim milestone, 150,000 deaths, the highest in the world, this is the latest in a slew of highly contagious misinformation about coronavirus from hoech hoaxes alleges its bioweapon to it spreading from cellto y towers to bill gates planning to use vaccines to implant microchips. Its spread across social media like facebook and twitter struggling to keep policing. The volume is so intense. They could never keep up with the amount of false information. Reporter hospital workers say every time another piece of misinformation spreads, it makes their job harder to save lives. People find that demoralizing because they are fighting so hard for their patients in front of them. Reporter this primary care doctor says the spread of misinformation has a link to the spread of virus. If it doesnt stop, more americans will lose their lives. Misinformation can cause real harm. Its not just that people are gossiping or spreadi ining myth. These myths can translate to people having adverse outcomes. People can die. Good morning, steve. With all this misinformation out there given what we know about the last president ial election, how concerned are intelligence officials about foreign interference . We know theres an attempt from russian intelligence to amplify the false narratives similar to what happened in 2016. For example, a fake social media account or a bot will push an idea hoping it will go viral whether its about the candidates or about covid like the virus being created by the u. S. Military. Experts say these can be tough to spot, especially on websites that seem legitimate. This may only get worse as we get closer to november. As you pointed out, theres too much for social Media Companies to comb through all of it much thanks so much.
