CNNW CNN Tonight With Don Lemon October 31, 2020

Whats going to happen . I dont know. We could have four more years of trump, or we could have a new administration. Whatever it is, were going to be all right . Were still in a pandemic. We still need more leadership, better guidance, better plans. If the president gets four more years, the mandate has to be to do more and not just more of the same. And if biden comes in, he better hit the ground and run like his ass is on fire to get things done. Theres no time for a victory lap. We are in a crisis. I agree with you. When you think about this president iem going to talk about it a little bit more. This president s Closing Argument is really hes sticking to the same thing he did back in march and april, its going to go away, it doesnt really exist, people arent really dying, you can do this herd immunity, a bunch of b. S. , all of this stuff that has been proven to be wrong by all the experts, most of whom have backed away from him now, right, or doesnt even want to be in the room with his current czar or whom ever, dr. Scott atlas. He is doubling down on this on this alternate reality that the pandemic is not where it is, where every single place pretty much that he goes, these hot spots, the local papers and local news recording Record Numbers of people who are becoming infected, people who are dying. Young people who are becoming sick. And its just thats his Closing Argument is to double down on stupidity . If you ran a business, if you ran a school, if you ran anything and you deceived the people who you were in charge of about a danger the way this president is, it would be criminally negligent behavior. Yeah. It is worse whats going on now than what he was impeached for. And as we know, i was never a big fan of that impeachment process. I didnt think fit was going to get anywhere. How you do it matters also. This is worse because this is real. By anybodys definition. Its not how you feel about it. Its bad. I had this thing in the opening. We have to choose our hard. Being sick is hard, doing what it takes to be healthy is hard. We have to choose our hard because were going to need work, no matter which direction we go. But the direction we take will make all the difference. I tell you what, whatever happens on tuesday and wednesday. And wednesday and thursday and friday, were going to be living in no matter whos president , i think its going to be a much different world after that. But i think its going to be a world where we have to come to grips, regardless of who is president , come to grips with whats actually happening in this country because people cant no longer go around the country and pretend its not happening. Whats the reason, if he becomes president again, whats your reason for lying to people . The deaths will still be there. If joe biden is president , perhaps people will take it seriously. Lets hope things change when it comes to this virus and people start to take it seriously before we go into the dire winter season. Tuesday, wednesday, theyre going to have us. Were going to be here all night and morning. You guys tweet me and tell me, no me. Monday, tuesday, wednesday, thursday, friday, saturday that was my jam four years ago. Im sure it was. Chris and i have the overnight shift so happy halloween. Ill see you, brother. This is cnn tonight. It is friday, everyone. And i mean that. Im serious. Keep calm and carry on. Everybody calm down. Nobody really knows whats going to happen. No one really knows. The only time well know whats going to happen is when it happens. So fasten your seat belt. Youre going to be fine. Were all going to be fine. Im don lemon. Tonight as we go on the air, as i come on the air right now, there are just three days left before election day. And we are seeing another record we hoped we would never see. That is the highest single day of coronavirus cases since this pandemic began, more than 91,000, shattering the record set just yesterday. Weve now passed a total of 9 million cases of viruses out of control in this country. Yes, we have an election to deal with, but we have to deal with all the people who are becoming sick and the people who are dying. Were setting records now. Today every second today another person was diagnosed with covid. Imagine that. Every second of this day. Another person diagnosed with covid. Every two minutes another american died. The worst week of the pandemic was a top five covid case days all this week, the worst week for the stock market since march. Remember when the president said this in 2016 . Were going to win so much. You are going to get so sick and ti tired of winning. Youre going to come to me and say, please, please, we cant win anymore. He sure got the sick part right, didnt he . The virus and the campaigns peaking in the upper midwest today. The president and joe biden storming the battleground states as Record Numbers of voters have already gone to the polls, biden ripping into the president for his negligence as the virus runs rampant. Imagine if he had told us in january how dangerous this was and took action . Its estimated wed be over 130,000 people still alive. And, by the way, we dont cower and nor do i, never will we. Unlike donald trump, well not surrender to this virus. Donald trumps given up on the virus, but tonight hes going on the attack against those who try to save the lives of those the virus want to take. Our doctors get more money if somebody dies from covid. You know that, right . Our doctors are very smart people. What they do is they say, im sorry, but everybody dies of covid. This might be one of the most revealing comments the president has ever made, okay . It reveals that he thinks anybody would exploit anybody would exploit a crisis to put money in his pockets. We already know he thinks anybody who is willing to sacrifice for a higher purpose is a sucker and a loser, right . Remember, he reportedly said that about our fallen troops. Remember when he said he didnt like war heros like john mccain because john mccain got captured. It reveals again his stunning lack of empathy, lack of empathy for the parents who died and for the doctors who are the only ones the patients i should say who died and the doctors who were the only ones with them when they did. Because their families were not allowed to be with them, doctors who couldnt even stay with the dying because they had to care for someone else dying in the next room or down the hall. How could the president lie about them without even caring about what theyve seen and what theyve been through . Its very revealing. It reveals again that the president of the united stat statstates will like anything, say thinking to get reelected. How this awful comment helps him get elected is baffling to me. The president of the United States is accusing the medical profession of making up covid deaths so they make more money. Doctors and nurses go to work every day to save lives. They do their jobs. Donald trump just ought to stop attacking them and do his job. You watching your tv in i wa tv in i want to you see this one. Like father like son. The reality is this. I kept hearing about new infections. I was like why arent they talking about this . Oh, because the number is almost nothing. Because weve gotten control of this thing. We understand how it works. If thats all youre watching, one channel, you might believe that. But i know the people who are watching here watch every night, youre not going to be surprised to hear that there is not one word of truth to any of that. The very day that junior said that, 971 americans died of the virus. 994 died the day before that. And he calls that almost nothing . The White House Coronavirus testing czar says this. Hospitalizations and icu admissions dont lie. When those go up, thats real, thats tangible, thats people in the hospital that need care. But the president doesnt care about any of that. He has no empathy of people in the hospital battling the virus, even though he was there himself just a few weeks ago. He thinks its all just fun and games. When i got better, i got better quick. He mocks one of his favorites, right, from state tv oops, i mean fox news for wearing a mask at his rally. I do believe laura ingram is here someplace. Where is laura . Where is she . Where is laura . I cant recognize you. Is that a mask . No way. Are you wearing a mask . Ive never seen her in a mask. Look at you. Shes being very politically correct. Whoo. Uhoh. Whoops. Its not funny, though. And a president who seemed to be missing the energy of the crowd at his socially distanced socalled peaceful protest rally in minnesota tonight, wrapped up after speaking for only 21 minutes but not before saying this about what he claims would happen if joe biden wins. There will be no school, no graduations, no weddings, no thanksgiving, no christmas, no 4th of july, no easter, no nothing. Wow. Well, does he really think that we wont notice that every one of those dire predictions is taking place right now under donald j. Trump . This is happening under President Donald Trump. Everything that he is calling saying that will happen under joe biden, joe biden is not president. Joe biden is not in office. Hes running to be president. None of this is happening on joe bidens watch because joe biden is not president. Youre the president. Everything thats happening right now, your watch. You have to own it. No school, no graduations, no weddings, no thanksgiving, no christmas, no 4th of july, no easter. Protests. All of that happening under your watch. I dont know if he just doesnt get it, he just doesnt care. Maybe its both. Sherrel and alexander oneill, thank you very.

[sfx mnemonic] this is the final weekend before election day. The number of americans who have already voted is stunning. Its record breaking as a matter of fact. More than 86 million have already cast their ballots. Trump planning who hold four rallies toll in pennsylvania an biden holds two in michigan c cam campaigning with former president barack obama. How are you holding up . Im upset you were singing to chris cuomo but not me. Whats your 80s jam. I told you my 80s jam is. Dont push me because im close to the edge. I think thats the sent more for just about everyone in this country. We only have three more days until this campaign is over. Where are you going and who will you be talking to . That will tell me something about the campaigns targets in the final days here. Lets be clear, ive been to North Carolina, ive been to pennsylvania, and ive been to im going to florida tomorrow. These are in succession, simply because the Biden Campaign is trying to get as many pathways open to 270 as possible. Theyre really expanding the map and trying to make sure that every vote, every state from texas to michigan, from North Carolina and South Carolina all the way to florida. So theyre covering map and trying to expand pa wthways. Thats why every voter is going to count for them. Even on things i have never seen this kind of Voter Protection operation going on. They have folks covering polls, making sure people are safe and fighting to make sure we can expand peoples opportunities to vote. Lets talk about some of the rhetoric going on out there. Not surprising the president is going back to his greatest hits of race baiting. Listen to this. Omarr is our secret weapon in minnesota. No, she doesnt love our country, you know. I dont like people that dont love our country. When they come out and they say they look Barack Obama Hussein obama muff moch more than they trump, that means im doing my job. Kamala. You have to say her name right or she gets upset. The biden plan would release 400,000 dangerous criminals immediately on to your streets, murderers and rapists. This is whats going on is crazy. Wow. Wow. I mean, look, sometimes he throws in a line about you out there in the suburbs, im not sure where that comes from as wel well. Do you think this is enough to motivate voters of colors to come out . I hope so. This is a man who is targeting africanamerican communities. Ive seen the way he taublks abt American Cities with such vicious language. Its the pitting of americans against americans, trying to whip of fear and hatred. So its not just that hes targeting folks with his rhetoric. His policies. When he came into office, he and Jeff Sessions turned over what obama was doing in the Justice Department about fair sentencing and he told every prosecutor, every u. S. Attorney you have to charge for drug crimes the highest possible charges that you can professionally put forth. And it was obviously these drug crimes are disproportionately enforced against africanamericans. I could go through this guys record to what hes done to black people to endanger their lives and well being but the rhetoric on top of it all is outrageo outrageous. This is from politico saying democrats and groups are spending millions to make sure black men turn out for biden. And this is sasays this electi going to be close. We know this. Every vote literally counts and must be counted. Is there enough votes to make up for that . Im telling you the conversations were seeing are this expansion, whether its hvcu communities, black greek communities. Im seeing the push to get the black vote out, men and women, in ways i have not seen even in the obama era. Whats exciting to me is you see it expanding in other areas. The vote vote is up. Young people get it. Whether its the parkland youths, activists we see people engaging in voting like never before. And then you see him losing among demographics hes trying to scare. I see his map shrinking and bidens pathway to 270, thats why hes telling everybody and were going to make your vote count. In the spirit of john lewis, who is up in heaven looking down, we have gone through obstacles before to vote. Weve jumped over hurdles, crossed bridges. Our ancestors have bled red for the right to vote. We can be prepared to do what it takes no matter what the obstacle is. Weve got to get out there and vote. Senator, always a pleasure. Be safe out there on the campaign trail. Well be talking to you along the way. Thank you so much. Listen, im grateful to you, don. I hope youll have me back on as we get closer on the other side of all this. We can talk about who did the 80s better, you or me . Dont push me. Both of us had sizable afros. Dont. You push me because im close to the edge. Im trying not to lose my head. Its like a jungle. Sometimes i wonder. You got to laugh because it is very tense times. So everybody breathe and be kind. Thank you, senator. Ill see you soon. Be kind. The big question is will we know who wins the white house on Election Night . Were going to tell you what you should expect. Thats next.
