The spread of the virus. Were following all the headlines on the deadly crisis, and this. The president is leaving in the next hour for kenosha, wisconsin, the city reeling after deadly protests and violence in response to the shooting of jacob blake. The president has defied calls from the governor and mayor to stay away. The protests have grown much more peaceful there in recent days. This comes one day after he defended the teen accused of killing two protesters and compared the actions of the Police Officers in the blake shooting to choking in golf. Joe biden has definitively called out violence of any kind, whether by vigilantes or looters. The prlt has not. We have all the major headlines. Lets begin with cnns sara sidner. Shes in kenosha with more on the president s arrival today. Tell us the scene there. I think folks have the impression its still on fire. In recent days its gotten more peaceful, but what do you expect to see today . Reporter its been overarchingly peaceful in the last four to five days. I want to mention where were standing, this is the scene where jacob blake was shot in the back seven times. The family is coming out today to do a whole Community Event where theyre cleaning up the community, theyre talking to people, theres going to be covid testing as well as a place to register to vote. The way the family has done this is peacefully and making sure you vote. I have talked to a local elderman, a supervisor, the mayor, all of them saying this is not the right time for the president to visit this place. Theyre still trying to heal. Theyve got on the a point where theyre calming down and theyre afraid the president s visit could ratchet things up again. Lets listen to a little of what the president said, which is an example why people are so upset in the shooting of jacob blake and the reporting of that. They choke. Youre not comparing it to golf. Im saying people choke. People choke. Reporter so he did compare it to golf, and these are the kinds of insensitive comments that the jacob blake family is so disturbed about. We were able also, cnn, to talk with jacob blakes father and how frustrated he is and where hes at. You have on the one hand a 17yearold with a long rifle strapped across his chest with his hands up shooting two people to death and the police roll right by him, and you have jacob blake who had no weapon, although, the officers say he had a knife on him, with his back turned to them when he was shot several times. Lets hear what the father has to say about all of this. First of all, im not going to play politics. This is my sons life were talking about. Second of all, we dont have a family pastor. Jacob blakes uncle said he would no way want to ever talk to the president because he and im quoting is racist and has from the moment he got into the white house, creating a racial defind making it much, much worse, jim. Endorsing vigilantism, its remarkable coming from a president. Sara, thank you so much. Two portland sheriffs saying theyre not sending deputies to curb violence. This as were learning about the man who was shot and killed between violent clashes over Trump Supporters over the weekend. Cnns Josh Campbell is in portland, oregon. First lets talk about why the sheriff is refusing to send in deputies there. Reporter good morning to you, jim. It appears that theyre not on the same page. Over the weekend the governor came out to quell some of the violence, stop some of the protests that have turned destructive. As part of the plan, the governor says three neighboring jurisdictions will be sending Law Enforcement officials to assist the police. Weve heard from two shfrs in Clackamas County and Washington County are not sending in any of their deputies. They say its a local issue and theyre not taking part in it. Again, they do not appear to be on the same page here in this location. As that is taking place, obviously President Trump is fueling the fire. We know over the weekend there was that incident involving some of his supporters, clashes with some of the supporters here. In one video we saw paintballs being fired into a crowd. Heres how the president described that moment. I understand they had large numbers of people who were supporters, but that was a peaceful protest. Paint is a defensive mechanism. Reporter as the president continues to slam protesters here, calling this a place full of hoodlums, hes not condemning his own supporters shooting paint balls in the crowds. Its worth noting there have been proteftss over the years with several shooting paint balls at others. So its not as if its peaceful. I mentioned at the top the police have identified the pro trump supporter who was shot and killed. This is aaron danielson. Police are concerned whether more people will come in the city trying to seek revenge. The city is on edge. Josh, its a very simple question. Does Law Enforcement in portland welcome the arrival of vigilante degreetet . Are they asking for thus . Do they see benefit of keaching police . Thats a difficult question to answer. The mayor says he doesnt want it in his city. Other elected officials are saying the same. I asked the police chief what their plan is to stop some of the violence. He said he didnt know what the plan was off the top of his head. He would have to consult his people. What about those who are seeking to assault people . He took a much more generic term saying hes against all types of assault and theyre always open to people providing information that could help solve crimes, jim. Remarkable. Josh campbell, thanks very much. The head of the fda says the agency could issue emergency ute authorization or approval for a covid19 vaccination before crucial phase 3 Clinical Trials are complete, and, note this, it could happen ben met certain. Hahn says he reserves the right to resign if he senses any political pressure to release the vaccine before he believes its ready. With me now, cnn medical correspondent ee llizabeth cohe. What would be the reason to accelerate this particularly before election day . Youve been following this very closely. Help folks understand whats going on . Well, jim, the way the trial works is you take a look before you finish all of dosing, given all of the vaccine to all of your participants. You check in on them and see how theyre going. It is possible theyll check in on the folks in the moderna trial or pfizer trial and they may say, oh, my goodness, this vaccine works tremendously well and were going to put it on the market before the end of the trial. It is possible. But the chances of that happening are so. So the question at a time when americans are distrustful, why are they suggest we could end this early . That seems like an odd communications choice. Weve seen political influence on others. Hello us understand, dr. Mclelland, how americans should be watching this. This is a key moment suffered through an outbreak. Should Americans Trust this decision should be based on science and not po ticks. I think weve had because of these reasons, statement. As elizabeth said, we dont know how well they wafrp. Theyre really about defining whether or not vaccines have the impact of reducing the severity and number of cases of covid, and that, elizabeth said, is what we should be watch. There are the steps along the way that the government usually takes before aproochs. Having an expert Advisory Counsel meet to talk about that, brit your your teeth. Is fda going to take those steps . Thats very important to maintain confidence. You led the fda. What do you see happening here because theres a process to follow here. There are trials you go through for vaccine or we used to as a country, right . The driven says he wants one. You had an event before the National Republican convention pushing plash ma use where, again, you had phen ideal if officialings. Right. Whats happening from your perspective . We are in a pandemic, so this is a Public Health merge. Theyre going to do it as would nonly be the case. But thats one thing, jim, for convalescent plasma that may be harmful but have benefits. Healthy people need to take it and be confident about it in order for it to have its desired effects. Its going to do be very standard. Were going to do it as quickly and transparently as possible. You mentioned confidence in a vaccine. Cnn reporting that most americans would not get a vaccine even if it was free and with easy access. Theres been an Antivax Movement in this country for some time. Does this kind of discussion of pushing things along more quickly, confused messaging, et cetera, does that worsen that proi problem . We need americans to take it to get it to the herd um mun p immunity. If they can get clear information from the fda, i think they have a very good process go make it happen. Lets focus more on that. What are the steps people are taking and what steps are they taking so they can make a confident decision about the results of the trials and the trials being done well . We have the potential to do that. We have a lot more attention to clarity and transparency along the way. Far advice. Doctor, good to be with you. Good to be with you.

In the next hour President Trump is going to leave for kenosha, wisconsin. It has been remarkably peaceful but there have been times where there was looting and even a murder by a local vigilante. We saw two different visions behind whats behind the violence and the response to it from the president and candidate joe biden. Have a listen. Fires are burning, and we have a president who fans the flames rather than fighting the flames, but we must not burn. We have to build. This president long ago forfeited any moral leadership in this country. He cant stop the violence because for years hes fomented it. Lets discuss now with bidens senior adviser. With me now, symone sanders. Thanks so much for taking the time this morning. Thank you for having me today, jim. First question a simple one. Will nominee joe biden go to kenosha himself this week . Vice President Biden is looking to getting to wisconsin as a priority for us. He doesnt want to do anything to upset as you noted in your opening the peaceful nature of whats happening in kenosha and also the state at large. Thats why its so concerning about President Trumps visit today. Look. We have heard the president over the last couple of days throughout the Republican National convention talk about violence. You know, his tweets have stoked and incited this violence, so hes not going to be a claiming voice in kenosha, wisconsin, today. Hes going to do nothing but fan the flames. Yesterday he said he considers all violence. What would he do on day one as president to address it, to calm these things down . Well, jim, actually i would argue it doesnt start on day one when joe biden becomes president. Hes doing right now, frankly, what a president should be doing. In that speech yesterday, you heard vice President Biden talk about, yes, he condemns the violence, but he spoke about bringing people together. He said it was necessary and he was sure he could bring those in the advocates and the activists to the table. Thats what we need to do. Thats what the Obama Biden Administration did. I can promise you this, that the joe biden and Kamela Harris combination, yes, well have Law Enforcement activists and advocates. Not just as it relates to chief, but active duty rankandfile folks. I think that will make a huge difference in this. Thats looking ahead. Today as you know, theres real division and sometimes violent division on the streets of more than one american city. Theres some polling that indicates that bindens support has waning for weeks to weeks as the protests have grown violent at times. Whats your answer and concerns today because there are voters asking the question, how do i keep myself and nigh neighborhood safe and what is joe biden going to do about it and how can i be of service. I know that is not necessarily based on fact, but, the real question for folks not at all. Is how is he going to keep me safe. I have to harken back to what vice President Biden said yesterday. He talked about what safe is. Communities want to be safe from covid, they want to be safe from violence, that is, violence of the vigilantes, but also violence a at it related to police brutality. Currently thats not the reality for so many people across this country. Joe biden has told you what his plan is. He has a plan to get the economy back on track, the build back better plan that will benefit all working families across this country regardless of their zin. He told you what his plan is for plea reform sand what his plan is to reopen schools. The contrast here is the president doesnt have a plachblt ask yourself, are you safe in Donald Trumps america because everything thats happening is happening in Donald Trumps america. The answer is unequivocally not. Simone sanders, good to have you on. Question look forward to more as we approach the day. Thank you. See you soon. The mayor considering it a perceived slowdown of the nypd. Were going to have the
