You want a vision of your life under biden . Pick up the smoldering ruins in minneapolis, the violent anarchy of portland, the bloodstained sidewalks of chicago. Steve bannon has pleaded not guilty to charges that he ripped off donors trying to fund a wall along the border. This is for government. This isnt for private people and it sounded to me like showboating. Deadly wildfires continue to rage through california. The fastmoving flames forcing entire towns to evacuate. You can feel the heat and the wind blowing from the fire. Kansas city chiefs fans notice some changes. They are banning native american headdresses and face paints. The mets had games postponed after two members tested positive for covid19. All that in the field to right field. In the corner and back. Its gone become to slamdiedo. They became the first to ever hit a grand slam in four straight games. And all that matters. If you entrust me with the prr presidency, ill draw on the best of us. This is the third time biden has run for president. Third time is the yeah, fine, ill vote for you i guess. Sure. On cbs this morning. When his teacher mimicked him and he ran home from school, his mother drove him back. My mother stood up, if you ever talk to my son like that again, ill come back and rip that damn bonnet off your head. Wow, rip the bonnet off her head. The corn does not fall far from the pop. Joe, why have you been hiding that story . Youve got to put that on a yard sign. Biden 2020. My mom threatened to beat up a nun. This mornings eye opener presented by toyota. Welcome to cbs this morning. Stephen colbert made a joke about it, but that was a very moving piece when they did the setup piece about joe bidens life. It was really thats a very catchy slogan. That was very well done, mr. Colbert. Dont mess with moms is another takeaway for sure. My mom beat up a nun. Catchy hash tag. And thats where we begin. Not with his mom beating up a nun but with joe biden. He painted a clear picture for voters last night saying this election is a battle for the soul of america. The former Vice President celebrated with his wife, dr. Jill biden, after officially accepting the democratic nomination to be president in wilmington, delaware. They were joined by Kamala Harris and her husband and supporters at a drivein viewing party. But the main event was bidens impassioned remarks to the nation. He pledged to unite the country and overcome this season of darkness. He said love is more powerful than hate. Hope is more powerful than fear, light is more powerful than dark. Ed okeefe is in wilmington. Good morning. Good morning, anthony. Last night, just like so much this year, unlike anything wed seen before. As you guys mentioned, it looked like a drivein Movie Theater outside. When they liked what they heard, they honked in agreement. Biden tried to do two things. He wanted to explain how hed take the country out of this pandemic and economic downturn and he wanted to convince americans the country can unite again. The current president s cloaked american darkness for much too long. If you entrust me with the presidency, i will draw on the best of us, not the worst. Ill be an ally of the light, not the darkness. Reporter it was a moment joe biden dreamed of for nearly 50 years, accepting the Democratic Partys nomination for president. He vowed to be a unifier. While ill be a democratic candidate, i will be an american president. Ill work hard for those who didnt support me as hard for them as i did for those who did vote for me. Decency, science, democracy. Theyre all on the ballot. Reporter just as speakers had all week, biden attacked President Trump for his response to the coronavirus pandemic. Just look around. Its not this bad in canada or europe or japan or almost anywhere else in the world. And the president keeps telling us, the virus is going to disappear. He keeps waiting for a miracle. Well, i have news for him. No miracle is coming. Reporter the more than 24minute address capped an extraordinary week that forced a rethinking of conventions. An american political tradition, what was produced like never before. Outside the building where biden spoke, the campaign invited hundreds to come watch the speech in a drivein moviestyle setup capped by fireworks. The night included video tributes from his children. He likes ice cream in hidden ways. Eating it like in the freezer so that like my grand ma doesnt see. And his two surviving children hunter and ashley, plus of the late beau biden at the Democratic Convention eight years ago. Illinois senator Tammy Duckworth who lost both of her legs while serving in iraq said biden understands the sacrifices of military families and President Trump shouldnt be the commander in chief for another four years. They have a coward in chief who wont stand up to vladimir putin, read his daily Intelligence Briefings or even publicly admonish adversaries for reportedly putting bounties on our troops heads. And without joe biden one of the most powerful moments came from a speech by 13yearold Braden Harrington who has a stutter like biden. Im just a regular kid, and in a short amount of time, joe biden made me confident about moving forward about something thats bothered me my whole life. Several of bidens opponents got together to reminisce. You can think of this like survivor on the interviews of all the people that got voted off the island. Thats exactly what it was. And if theres anything that should be repeated again four years from now its a reunion of the vanquished opponents. As for biden and harris, they hit the campaign trail but theyre expected to do so mostly virtually. Aides say there are no plans for them to visit any battleground states, and that the pandemic will dictate the travel schedule. Tony . Ed, no one is voting you off the island. Thanks for a great week. Well see you next week. President trump, meanwhile, campaigned in pennsylvania yesterday on the same day another of his former Close Associates was put in handcuffs. Former white house chief strategist steve bannon was arrested on fraud charges over an alleged scheme connected to the president s longpromised border wall. He was later released on a 5 million bond. Paula reid is following all of this from the white house. Reporter as he left federal court in manhattan, steve bannon suggested the trump justice departments case against him is a setup. This entire fiasco is to stop people who want to build the wall. I feel very badly. I havent been dealing with him for a long period of time. Reporter President Trump tried to distance himself from his former chief strategist who prosecutors allege was part of a group that raised more than 25 million to build a southern border wall, then stole hundreds of thousands of dollars in donations for themseles. I know nothing about the project other than i didnt like when i read about it i didnt like it. Reporter bannon pleaded not guilty to charges of wire fraud and Money Laundering and was released on a 5 million bond. After being arrested that morning on a yacht off the coast of connecticut. Bannon is the president s sixth close associate to be criminally charged by trumps own justice department. What does that say about your judgment if these are the kinds of people i have no idea reporter thursday afternoon, President Trump hit the campaign trail near joe bidens childhood hometown of scranton, pennsylvania. Theres only one thing standing between your family and the radical left wing mob, and thats your vote this november. Reporter as biden was formally accepting the democratic nomination for president , mr. Trump called in to fox news with new attacks. I cant imagine they are ever going to endorse anybody who is going to endorse biden because they really have a very unsafe policy for our country. Reporter and repeated his baseless claims about universal mailin voting. Theyre trying to steal the election. This will be the most fraud lent election in history. A former member of the Postal Service board testified before lawmakers yesterday that the current postmaster general, louis dejoy, was selected to run the Organization Even though he was the, quote, least qualified. And dejoy will have the opportunity to respond to that criticism and answer questions about how hes been running the Postal Service when he appears on capitol hill later today. Gayle . Well be following that Postal Service story. Thank you very much, paula. Face the nation moderator Margaret Brennan joins us now. Good morning. Good morning to you. Late night for you. Big night for joe biden. He painted a picture between light and dark and the soul of america. And he says, listen, we have two choices. We will know, i think, 74 days, if third time is a charm for joe biden. Did he do what he needed to do in that speech . He is getting rave reviews this morning. Well, he had no technical flubs, no missteps, and he did not look like sleepy joe, the moniker that the president has put on him. So he countered that it was impassioned. It was empathetic and it really delivered around some of those points trying to relate to the American People. Eye to eye. It was that headon shot the entire time, almost like a president ial address. And so in some ways, the Biden Campaign was able to use this unconventional format to his strengths which is to give some empathy to those who have lost family members and loved ones during the pandemic for example. So he did achieve those things. Whether its enough to persuade progressives that a centrist democrat is their man too or to get independents on board is up to the voters. He said decency is on the ballot and decency matters to a lot of people. It was a very unconventional convention. Instead of the balloon drops, they had fireworks that bursted in air, car horns to honk for people in agreement. Did the convention deliver and work this time . Well, there were parts of it that were awkward. You know, the zoom meeting backtoback over the past few days, but there were parts that worked. And i think on the most important exclamation point to the week which was joe bidens own personal address to the country. They made the format work for him the same way they did for former president obama the day before. There werent cheers, there werent boos. There was no one to react. It was kind of like a president ial address. So they made that work for the candidate. But well have to see what happens during the debates. Well have to see what happens over the 70odd days still ahead of us. We just saw steve bannon, his arrest. Hes leaving court with the attitude of nothing to see here, but he is the sixth close associate of the president to be arrested. What impact, if any, do you think this will have on President Trump directly . Sixth to be arrested. Second former Campaign Chair to have some very serious legal problems just this week. Remember, of course, paul manafort, his former Campaign Chairman, who is already behind bars we learned this week was accused by Bipartisan Group from the senate of being a grave counterintelligence threat to the country. That was a bipartisan finding from this report this week. So this definitely draws some serious scrutiny around those close to the president , past and current. But it also in some ways speaks to what joe biden is trying to sell as his main message which is that content and character is what is on the ballot. Maybe you dont agree with his policy initiatives but hes a nice guy. And he has the character to restore americas moral leadership. If thats joe bidens ultimate argument on the campaign trail, these News Headlines couldnt have been scripted better to serve that, though clearly these were the results of yearslong investigations. So the facts themselves have been quite damaging for the president s campaign. Well talk about some of that on sunday. To be continued. Let me tell people what you have coming up on sunday. You have a great lineup. Margarets guests on face the nation sunday will include former fiform er fbi director james comey, Rona Mcdaniel and Los Angeles Mayor eric garcetti.

Reporter firefighters chase mcgrew and his brother russell had just gotten off duty wednesday when their father, a retired firefighter himself, call to say the massive lnu complex fire was threatening their childhood home. This has to be sentimental to you . Yeah, that was a big concern was losing the house. My dad put so much work into this place. Built it so much from what it was. And this meant a lot. To not only him, but us. Very sentimental. Reporter at least some of the fires are believed to have been started by the states worst Lightning Storm in decades. In addition to the 150 structures that burned, at least 50,000 are threatened. Carter, thank you. From the fires to the rain. This morning, a lot of rain.
