The Democratic National Convention Kick es off next wee take off your introducetrous. Lets get ready to buffer. This mornings eye opener is presented by toyota. Welcome to cbs this morning. Its going to be different, thats for sure. Lets get right to the president ial race. A new effort by President Trump to boost his campaign using a familiar tactic. The president yesterday helped resurrect a false Conspiracy Theory he used to challenge Barack Obamas right to be president. This time to attack Kamala Harris. Mr. Trump refused to reject a bogus claim about her citizenship, that the senator doesnt qualify to be joe bidens running mate. His comments prompted immediate pushback from the Biden Campaign. I heard it today that she doesnt meet the requirements. Instead of stopping the racist attack, the president amplified it when asked if he thought she was eligible to run for Vice President. I would have assumed the democrats would have checked that out before she gets choken. Harris parents emigrated. She was born in oakland, california. Any person born in the United States is an american citizen. Theres no doubt about harris eligibility. The attack mirrors the racist accusations mr. Trump made against former president barack obama. Why doesnt he show his birth certificate . Harris sister responded writing, there are no gradations of birtherism. Now you have a mad woman i call her, because she was so angry and so such hatred with justice kavanaugh. They called his attacks unsurprising and says he makes a fool of himself. Joe biden and harris are wasting no time showing how they would govern. They spent most of thursday holding briefings on the pandemic with experts. Biden is calling for a nationwide mask mandate to fight the coronavirus. The governors should mandate, ma da to mandatory mask wearing. Be a patriot. Protect your fellow citizens. Protect your fellow citizens. Step up. Do the right thing. Harris said voters should be asking the Trump Administration a key question. When am i actually going to get vaccinated . Because there may be some grand gestures offered by the current president about a vaccine. But it really doesnt matter until you can answer the question, when am i going to get vaccinated . The president dismissed the criticisms saying biden is trying to politicize the pandemic. Of course, the president said that and attacked harris in a political way during a government briefing on the coronavirus. By the way, we know that biden and harris will address the Virtual Democratic Convention next week from a Downtown Event Center in bidens hometown of wilmington, delaware. The two are set to make yet another appearance together he today. A lot of news next week. You will be there. Thank you so much. A fight over post Office Funding with potential implications for the election is interfering with congressional talks to renew coronavirus aid. President trump rejects the democrats demand for 25 billion in emergency funding for the u. S. Postal service. Plus another 3. 6 billion to help states process mailin ballots in november. Ben, how is the president using politics to say no . Reporter this is money the Postal Service says it needs, especially to handle what is expected to be a Record Number of people voting by mail because of the pandemic. President trump is making it very clear that he doesnt want to do anything to make voting by mail any easier. They can be forged. They can be captured. They can be taken. Reporter President Trump continues to make unfounded claims about mailin voting. In an interview thursday, he admitted the Postal Service needs more money to handle ballots in november. But he doesnt necessarily want to provide it. They need that money in order to have the post office work so it can take all of the millions and millions of ballots. If we dont make a deal, they dont get the money. Reporter at the white house, the president said he wont veto a stimulus bill just because it has funding for the post office but the democrats are asking for too much. Nancy pelosi questions whether the white house really wants to make a deal. Perhaps you mistook them for somebody who gave a damn. That isnt the case. Reporter democrats are also questioning the motives of the new postmaster general. He is a major republican donor who has given more than 1 million to the Trump Victory fund. When i see problems, i work to solve them. Reporter cbs news learned after he took over the Postal Service in june, he implemented cost cutting mesh thau inting m to delays in delivery. This directive obtained by cbs news details an operational pivot in which we may see mail left behind or mail on the work floor or docks which is not typical. He declined our request for an interview. In a statement said despite assertions to the contrary, we are not slowing down election mail or any other mail. In recent elections with mailin ballots, there have been delays in counting but no evidence of fraud. Despite his continued attacks on mailin voting, records show the president and the first lady just requested mailin ballots for flo floridas primary election. Thank you. The coronavirus pandemic has left at least 1,500 public students, staff and students quarantined. The American Academy of pediatrics recommends masks for all kids 2 and older at school and in public spaces. It also warns that asymptomatic children who test positive should be isolated for up to 14 days to avoid spreading the virus. David, good morning. Reporter good morning. Nearly all of the School Districts here in florida are being ordered by state leaders to offer some kind of inperson learning. Meanwhile, the states Largest Teachers Union is suing over that, saying its not a good idea because the virus is too widespread, that continues to be a hot spot for the country. Parents at this moment are trying to make what they think is the best decision for their kid about whether they should actually go into the classroom. Reporter rebecca is comfortable her 14yearold daughter will start classes on monday. Thats even though some Staff Members are already in quarantine because theres been a positive covid19 case on campus. It happened while teachers were there getting ready for the start of the year. You think shes making the right decision . I feel like we need a little bit of normalcy. She needs that. She made the decision. Hopefully, its the right one. Reporter as the state moves ahead with inperson learning, some educators are worried things are moving too fast. Educators like this woman. Shes a spanish teacher at tampa bay technical high school. Shes a coronavirus survivor. I literally felt myself knocking on deaths door. I cannot imagine a lot of my older coworkers possibly surviving this. Reporter the percent of tests coming back positive is higher than the recommended level for reopening. We have a lot of infection going on. Do you want to put the kids back in school . Reporter in an interview, dr. Fauci gave a blunt assessment of our nations coronavirus response. Bottom line, im not pleased with how things are going. Reporter as the pandemic moves across the country out of control, it continues to tear apart families like charlies. Never in my wildest dreams would i have thought that my grandfather would have passed from covid, let alone my father. Reporter his father and grandfather were both hospitalized with coronavirus on fathers day. They died just weeks apart. Both men were respected Community Leaders in a suburb of miami. 89yearold george was retired. 57yearold carlos was treating patients before he contracted the virus. They leave behind a legacy of helping others. They were my inspiration for studying medicine. My father was and is my hero. He died on the front lines doing what he believed was right. Reporter they are a family of doctors. There are 20 of them that practice some type of medicine, den trtistry or psychiatrist. One is a reporter here with us at cbs. Our condolences to the family. Estimates are at least 1,000 Front Line Health Care workers have died because of covid19. Thats a stunning statistic. Thank you so much for your reporting. We appreciate it. In a breakthrough, President Trump said israel and the United Arab Emirates have agreed to establish full diplomatic relations for the first time. Trump took credit for brokering the Historic Deal. Its part of the middle east peace effort led by Jared Kushner, his soninlaw. What is behind this deal . Good morning. This is a deal that will have huge ramifications across the region. The big loser is iran. We were there in the uae when iran started attacking and seizing oil tankers which they started to do again this week. The uae has been an important u. S. Ally with American Forces based there. The gulf nation has had to tread carefully not to provoke iran. Thats clearly no longer the case when you take sides with irans sworn enemy. It obviously benefits israel and having another important and wealthy friend in the neighborhood. Finally, although the palestinians say they have been betrayed by the uae, the deal puts israels plan to annex parts of the west bank on hold at least for now. As both countries benefit from diplomatic ties, trade and technology, the hope is that fellow arab nations may follow suit. Charlie, thank you very much. In our next hour, we will talk to Jared Kushner about that Historic Deal plus a wide range of other topics including the federal governments response to the pandemic. The weather is working against fire crews battling multiple wildfires in Southern California where temperatures are expected to top 100 degrees today. The socalled ranch fire is the most serious threat right now. Nearly 400 homes are under evacuation orders about 20 miles northeast of los angeles. That fire and two others in the region have burned more than 20 square miles. Reporter good morning. The fire behind me is the ranch fire. Firefighters were concerned throughout the evening that winds would pick up. They have been and what we have been watching is an explosion of fire on that hillside. Firefighters right now are desperately trying to cut a line and save this bridge. The ranch fire burned into the night thursday. It exploded midafternoon, coming dangerously close to a neighborhood of 100 homes. The wish we have is not only steep terrain, but very dry brush, vegetation. When its continuous vegetation like that, the fire just keeps moving through it. Reporter it was a similar situation at the nearby skyline fire. The hot, dry weather pushed flames near homes. Forcing evacuations that were lifted late thursday night. I was looking and i was like, is my house going to be okay . I was terrified. Reporter firefighters worked to contain the lake fire, 70 miles to the northwest. Crews spent the day fighting back the flames, high, unpredictable winds made the battle that much tougher. If this winds continues, that could change conditions and might lead to more evacuations. Reporter three structures are with lost. The final number could be higher. Its just sad. My friends have lost their homes. Reporter the lake fire is 5 contained. This ranch fire is 0 contained. Theres no estimate on when either one of them will be put out. By the way, we could be in for a long fire season. The peak season starts this month but can last all the way through november. Thank you. Quite a scene. We have new information on the impact of this weeks derecho, the rare and powerful wind storm that tore through the midwest killing four people. Nearly 250,000 homes in the region are still without power. People try to clear uprooted trees and debris. Cedar rapids still looks like a war zone. 100 engineers from the National Guard will go there today to help its recovery. In more rural parts of iowa, farmers already struggling with the pandemics economic downturn suffered significant damage right before harvest season. One farmer said the loss he lost nearly 450 acres of corn. At least 10 crops have been destroyed. In illinois, people who live at this nursing home near chicago were so desperate to get their power back that they stood outside with a sign pleading with Power Company com ed for help. Other families in the area are suffering through the summer heat and relying on small generators to get by. The headlines are over, but that story is going on for those folks. They are struggling. Incredible. Unbelievable. Black americans are far more likely to be stopped without cause by police than white people. We will look at why and the effect it has on those who feel they are this portion of cbs this morni morning sponsored by toyota. We have much more news ahead. We will take we have more news ahead.
