Transcripts For CNNW New Day Weekend With Victor Blackwell A

His response has been homicidal negligence. He has failed to protect the american people. Supplement this is new day weekend. Top of the hour. Good morning to you. Capitol hill, you see on your screen as a third u. S. Senator has been diagnosed with covid19. Now, the president says he feels better. His chief of staff says and these are his words, the president is not out of the woods yet. And that might be clear, but the timeline of his illness is muddled here. For one, the president s doctors declined to answer basic questions such as when the president last tested negative for the virus and theres confusion inside the white house. Its not clear how deeply the virus has infiltrated the building. Over night a president ial aide who works closely with the president tested positive for the virus. Cnn White House Reporter Sara Westwood is joining us. News has come out in bits and pieces what what little theyve revealed is really causing problems inside the white house. How are people there feeling . Reporter well, good morning. Yeah, yesterday we just saw a day of conflicting messages from this white house. The latest update we got was last night in a memo from the president s physician. He said the president was making substantial progress since his doing kndiagnosis and he receiv his second dose of remdesivir without complication and headed into saturday night without a fever. That was after doctor conley contributed to confusion we saw starting yesterday morning when he and the president s other team of doctors held a press conference here at walter reed, updated reporters on the president s condition and painted a rosy picture of how President Trump has been doing since hes been hospitalized and tested positive. But just moments after that rosy press conference ended, a source told reporters also here at walter reed the president had been exhibiting very concerning symptoms in the hours before he was hospitalized. Making the president s condition sound a lot worse than what the doctors had just told reporters. And the New York Times later reported that that source was white house chief of staff mark meadows. And last night meadows appeared on fox sort of trying to square the circle between the messages. He said the president was doing extremely well, but hes not yet out of danger. The doctor is exactly right. He is doing extremely well. In fact, im very, very optimistic based on the current results and as the doctor said, hes not out of the woods. The next 48 ours or so with the history of this virus, we know, can be tough. And but hes made unbelievable improvements from yesterday morning when i know a number of us, the doctor and i were very concerned. The times reported trump was angry at meadows for raising concerns that the president s health might be worse than what the white House Doctors were letting the public know and he sought to project a sense of health and wellness himself yesterday. He tweeted out a video of himself at the hospital working in the white house. The white house also shared photographs of the president working in business clothes while at the suites here at walter reed. The video the president posted yesterday, he touted the therapeutics that hes had access to at the hospital. Im starting to feel good. If you look at the therapeutics which im taking right now, some of them and others are coming out soon that are looking like frankly, theyre miracles, if you want to know the truth. People criticize me when i say that, but we have things happening that look like theyre miracles coming down from god. Doctor conley did not provide an update on when the president might expect to be discharged from walter reed. He did Say Something of note in the press conference. He said days seven to ten of the illness is when doctors could be concerned about what they call the inflammatory phase of the president s illness. So a lot of signals being sent that the worst could still be ahead for the president. Theres been no date for his release, but hes expected to be under observation today as well. Sarah for us. Thank you so much. I want to pull that thread more how the white house has not been transparent about the president s health. Lets start here. This is a navy commander, shawn conley yesterday. The president is doing very well. We remain cautiously optimistic. But hes doing great. We heard Something Like that from two, three, four doctors there yesterday, but roughly 30 minutes later the source familiar with the president s health, now identified by the Associated Press as white house chief of staff mark meadows told the reporters this. The president s violations over the last 24 hours were concerning and the next 24 hours are critical in terms of his clear. Were not on a clear path to a full recovery. Yesterday we reported the president was having difficultly breathing. When he was asked if the president was given supplemental oxygen, this is what dr. Conley said. Reporter has he ever been on supplemental oxygen . Right now he is not on oxygen. I know you say right now. Yesterday and today he was not on oxygen. Reporter so he has not been on it during his Covid Treatment . Reporter he is not on oxygen. This is a doctor. We are coming for facts and he is not just handing them out. Right now you heard him say. That raises questions if the president ever needed it. A source close to the white house said the president definitely has had oxygen. They said it was before he went to walter reed. Dr. Conley gave a confusing timeline on when the president was given an antibody cocktail. He initially said this were aware of the test on thursday and was given the drug sometime then. Hours after the press conference he released a statement saying he misspoke. This is what he said. The president was first diagnosed with covid19 on the evening of thursday, october 1st, and received rejen ron antibody cocktail on friday, october 2nd. The first diagnosis was thursday evening. What was he doing thursday . He was on fox news down playing his close aide, hope hicks positive test. You know hope well. Shes fantastic and has done a great job, but its very hard when you are with people from the military or from Law Enforcement and they come over to you, and they want to hug you and they want to kiss you because we really have done a good job for them. You get close, and things happen. Hugs and kisses from the military and police. Not the flight on air force one. Not the attending the rally. Not going to the rose garden where nearly a half dozen people now have tested positive. A few hours after that call, around 1 00 a. M. The president announced his diagnosis on twitter. We tested positive for covid19. Well begin our quarantine and Recovery Process immediately. Well get through this together. When asked the last time he had a negative, dr. Conley wouldnt answer. When he was asked about the president s fever, what was it at the highest, dr. Conley wouldnt answer. Well, last night on fox news mark meadows said the president is making unbelievable improvements from friday. He also said that the president had a fever and falling oxygen levels. What do we know about the state of the president s health . The truth is not much. And after we heard the recording of the president with bob woodward back in the earliest part of this year, the start of the pandemic, and the president said he likes to down play the pandemic. How much of what were hearing can we believe . Right now the white house seems more interested in spinning this story than providing objective medical facts about the leader of this country. And Chris Christie tells cnn he checked himself into a hospital yesterday after announcing that hes tested positive for coronavirus. He joins the growing list. You see them on your screen, of white house affiliated or related cases of coronavirus. At least eight of those including christie attended the likely super spreader event, the Supreme Court announcement in the white house rose garden last weekend and more were part of the white house debate prep team where christie says masks were optional. No one was Wearing Masks in the room when we were prepping the period, and we were the group was about five or six people in total. Joe biden and Kamala Harris are going to get back to in person campaigning this week. Theyre heading first to florida. Not only will the candidate will ramping up his own testing. Hell release the results of the test. We have more on the Vice President. Reporter joe biden is moving forward with his in person campaigning, and Officials Say will be tested more regularly for coronavirus. This follows the news that President Trump tested positive for coronavirus as well as several other people in his orbit. The Biden Campaign says that they will release the results of the tests each time he is tested. Biden last received his last negative test results on friday and told reporters that while he wasnt tested on saturday, he will be tested for coronavirus on sunday morning. Now, the Biden Campaign has always adhered to social distancing. And Safety Standards at his campaign e events. Officials believe that the way theyve structured the events have promoted health and safety not just for their candidates but also those involved in the events and for the general public. Biden is always wearing a mask when he is at the events and they have people at social distances from each other and him. And those are protocols that they plan to move forward with as he continues to campaign in person. On monday biden is heading to south florida and on thursday, he will travel to arizona, his first visit to the Battle Ground state and his running mate, Kamala Harris, will also be joining him. Kamala harris is set to face off against mike pence in their first debate on wednesday. And were learning there have been changes to the way the debate will play out. The two candidates will be seated down for that debate, and originally were only slated to be seated seven feet apart. They will now be 12 feet apart from each other as this debate plays out. Weve also learned that masks will be required for everyone in that debate hall except for the two candidates and the moderators. This follows tuesday nights president ial debate when many in the audience on the trump side were not Wearing Masks. But going forward, anyone who was in that debate hall must wear a mask, and if they fail to do so, they will be asked to leave. Just one of the many changes occurring in this campaign due to the coronavirus pandemic. Cnn, wilmington, delaware. Lets bring in a doctor. Doctor, good morning to you. Good morning. I understand lets start here. Because we understand that our political leaders are human. They will contract viruses. They will get sick. They will need surgeries. They are americans, and they have some privacy rights. Granted. But how do you interpret or did you receive the handling of the News Conference from the white house physician, dr. Sean conley. What was answered and what was glossed over intentionally . Well, i thought it was oh problem, myself. I know im not alone. Because i think in many cases it raised more questions an it provided answers. Im not the first person to say that. One of the problems with it, and youre right, that theres a separate discussion that could be had about what right do we have to this information . Do weve vn a right to this information . The patient is the president is a patient, et cetera . Thats a different conversation, but one of the problems thats come out of this press conference or at least the information is that weve realized number one, that the timeline has proven to seem inconsistent which raises questions, and really sort of brings out concerns about when the president was actually diagnosed, when he might have been contagious, if he could have infected others. The second issue, thats important, we all want to know how well hes doing. And not having sort of a clear view of that or consistent message about that, not only does it make us worried. Hes the president of the United States. Of course we want him and even else to do well. But it brings up a lot of anxiety. A lot of people in this country are feeling a lot of anxiety due to a number of things that have happened over the last couple days. So when you watched the president s address yesterday, was there anything in his demeanor, anything that you could see that stood out to you . Its hard to say that anything stood out to me. He looked the way he always seemed to look . No, he didnt. But is it difficult to judge a fourminute video or still photos in time . It is. We cant read a lot into that. We dont know what prep happened before the photos or videos or et cetera . If there was hair and makeup and things of that nature. You cant draw a lot from those. Thats why the facts matter. And again, whether we have a right to the facts is a different discussion, but thats why the timeline and the facts matter. We know that people can spread covid1948 hours before they develop symptoms or have a positive test. So with this timeline being in question and the number of events happening, political events the president was involved in and other people, it makes us worry. Are there going to be more people that turn positive . You talk about the rose garden event, these concerns we have not only for america but our leadership at this time. Lets focus on that specifically and keep this picture up. This is the rose garden event. Those circled in red have been confirmed having covid. You see in the yellow who tested negative. The Vice President mike pence. Right behind him, senator mike lee, unmasked, appears to be within six feet. Covid positive. The Vice President will be in a debate in three days and in four days hell return to campaigning with an inperson rally in arizona. Doctor, weve been discussing the cdc guidance from the start of this pandemic. And the guidance suggests that he should quarantine and mike pence is the chair of the White House Coronavirus task force. Should he be quarantined . Should he be on the stage on thursday and in arizona on thursday . Thats right. So thats a great question. The cdc guidance says that if youve been exposed to somebody with covid19 you do need to quarantine for 14 days. Thats what the guidance says. One of the most important things we need to do during this time as a nation and also as we get try to get our political leaders through the times of illness is following the guidelines. The last thing we need is for more and more people to become ill. And heaven forbid Vice President pence become ill himself. The name of the game is safety. One of the things im hoping will come out of this in addition to the safety of our leaders is im hoping for those americans that question the validity of the virus and question if it was a thing or if face masks worked or not, im hoping their minds will be changed. That well all start Wearing Masks and social distancing. Doing the right thing, following cdc guidelines. But thats whats important to do is to follow the guidelines. All right. Doctor im sorry. Let me squeeze in one more time if we have time. Chris christie tested positive. Checked into a hospital. Hes 58 years old. Excessive weight, asthma, what are the concerns for governor christie based on his profile and what we know about the virus . Sure. We know obesity tends to be a risk factor for more high risk complications from covid. We know there were other underlying medical conditions that confirm a higher risk profile as well. He has some of those. It puts him at higher risk. Im really glad that he is under medical care and getting appropriate care. I do want to say there are a lot of americans in this country. Weve had over 200,000 deaths. There are a lot of americans that are not able to get the care that some of our political leaders are getting. Im saying that to say i want us all to get proper care. Proper monitoring, et cetera. It goes back one step further. I want us to be Wearing Masks and social distancing so we dont get in this situation if possible. Im glad Chris Christie is under medical care at this time. We all are. Yeah. We want everybody to be all right here. Doctor, always grateful to have you with us. Thank you, maam. Thank you. And there is so much more to talk about with this. Youre going to hear more this morning on state of the union. Jake tapper joined by the Ohio Governor and michigan governor and former Trump Deputy Campaign manager. State of the union today 9 00 eastern right here on cnn. We focussed on the white house and those around the president and covid19. But in almost two dozen states the numbers of diagnosis of people you do not know, those are going up. The implications for the states that are trending upward. A live report from new york. Tonight, ill be eating a veggie cheeseburger on ciabatta, no tomatoes. [hard a] tonight. Ill be eating four cheese tortellini with extra tomatoes. [full emphasis on the soft a] so its come to this . [doorbell chimes] thank you. [doorbell chimes] bravo. Careful, hamill. Daddys not here to save you. Oh i am my daddy. Wait, what . What are you talking about . [announcer] meet the make familysized meals fast. And because its a ninja foodi, it can do things no other oven can, like flip away. The ninja foodi air fry oven, the oven that crisps and flips away. New this morning. At least 21 states have seen the number of new covid19 cases rise more than a week ago. A little more than half held steady compared with the week before. There are only three states reporting decreases. Researchers at the university of washington are predicting as many as 2900 deaths a day in december. One of the states that was a success a couple months ago now seeing a slight spike . Reporter certainly, and before we get to that, the other concern is we are possibly going to see another spike. According to White House Reporter<\/a> Sara Westwood<\/a> is joining us. News has come out in bits and pieces what what little theyve revealed is really causing problems inside the white house.

At least 21 states have seen the number of new covid19 cases rise more than a week ago. A little more than half held steady compared with the week before. There are only three states reporting decreases. Researchers at the university of washington are predicting as many as 2900 deaths a day in december. One of the states that was a success a couple months ago now seeing a slight spike . Reporter certainly, and before we get to that, the other concern is we are possibly going to see another spike. According to Health Officials<\/a> into fall and possibly into the winter. To that point, consider the numbers alone. Youre looking at 42,000 new covid cases a day. Thats the National Weekly<\/a> average. Its lower than what we saw during the summer peak of about 67,000. Its 20 higher than what we saw in early september. According to Health Officials<\/a>, that is way too high, especially we want to avoid one of the upcoming projected spikes. A cnn analysis of data from Johns Hopkins<\/a> University Shows<\/a> only three u. S. States reporting a decline in covid19 cases compared to last week. As of saturday night new cases were down in texas, missouri and South Carolina<\/a>. A little more than half held steady compared with the week before. Researchers at the university of washington are predicting as many as 2900 deaths a day in december. The reason we think its going to happen is the combination of people taking their foot off the brake and starting to mingle more. Being less careful, and then most importantly, seasonality. Reporter wisconsin reported a Record Number<\/a> of 2892 new covid19 cases saturday including 19 deaths. The governor said on social media the surge is seen across the state were not an indication that masks dont work. California has passed 16,000 deaths. In illinois the state reported nearly 2 in tennessee 1,192 cases and 45 deaths. In South Carolina<\/a> 649 new cases and 39 deaths saturday. The university of washington now projecting 363,000 u. S. Deaths by the end of the year. Given what we know about the effectiveness of masks and given what we know about half of americans wearing a mask when theyre out, we think that about 86,000 lives can be saved if we can get mask use way up. So its very much in our control as to whats actually going to happen. Back here in new york city the local Health Official<\/a> saying theyre watching four concerning clusters of covid, mainly in parts of queens, brooklyn. The former head of the cdc last night weighing in on that saying currently new york is seeing some of these ongoing spreads. Specifically in what we describes as religious communities. Thats why that increased testing is friday alone new yor city setting a record or the state setting a record, 13,000 tests conducted friday. All right. Thank you. Those september numbers out this weekend show the job recovery is slowing down across the country. And that means food banks across many states including georgia are seeing an increase in need from counties. Reporter the first cars in this line arrived three hours before the Dekalb County<\/a> food drive began. Meat has gotten more expensive in Grocery Stores<\/a> and harder for people like delore us to afford on her retirement income. They go up sky high. Reporter within the first hour of people arriving, all 700 tickets accounting for the available foxs at one of three locations were handed out. Thats according to the ceo who hasnt seen this many people show up for a food drive since the pandemic began. I think the initial federal relief has run out. People have lost the 600 supplement on their unemployment insurance. Reporter the people we talked to said they had never been to a food drive before this year. I feel bad about it, because ive never had to do it until the pandemic. Ive always been able to keep food on the table. Reporter tonya larkin said before the pandemic she would have misjudged the drives. I would have judged it wrongly. I would have judged it as for poor people or Something Like<\/a> that. No, its not. No, its not. Its for people in need at this point. Its humbling. Reporter larkins used to work in child care. Her husband drives a school bus part time. Bill webber builds fences for people. It made it hard. Reporter fewer clients . Fewer clients. Less people planning on doing work they had planned on. They cut back and said they cut back and said were not going to be able to do this right now, which i understood. Im not upset. Reporter the Georgia Chamber<\/a> of commerce said as of august, 22 of all georgia businesses have not reopened. Business is rough for people supplying the meat given out out boxes. Were supplementing the fresh fruits and vegetables with protein, but it is also coming from a local atlanta business that needed the business. The georgia commissioner of agriculture and local county officials worked together to use federal dollars to help pay farmers for the food while helping the people who need to eat. Hes a republican. And im a democrat. But our hunger doesnt affiliate with any party. I hope you notice the diversity of the people who came here today. Black folk, white folk, asian, hispanic, latino. Food and security impacts the entire community. Reporter a community unsure of how long theyll need to continue this routine once a month of waking up early to ask for help they didnt need before. Cnn, atlanta. Good people doing good things there. Last week the confirmation hearings for Amy Coney Barretts<\/a> Supreme Court<\/a> nomination were almost certain. Now three senators have covid.

Three republican senators have tested positive for coronavirus. Were not sure how that impacts the president s Supreme Court<\/a> pick, Amy Coney Barrett<\/a>. Senator ron johnson revealed yesterday he tested positive. He said he was not at the rose garden event and may have started the outbreak that may have started the outbreak, i should say. And senator mike lee, senator thom tillis. They were there and tested positive. Mitch mcconnell has told all republican senators to be back on the hill by october 19th. Another called it reckless and dangerous. The president s diagnosis could Impact National Security<\/a> but it depends on how sick the president is and that is not clear. White house Officials Say<\/a> the president is capable of running the country. But could other countries take advantage of that. We have a former assistant secretary of the department of homeland security. Julia, lets start with this tweet. I needed more than 280 characters from you on this. It is very likely that russian intelligence agencies through signal and human intel sources at walter reed, et cetera, have more information about the president s condition than we do, though i think we all know how the president is doing to. Doctorslietoo. After the press conference, i had no idea how the president was doing. Every country is going to be interested. Russia in particular. Russian media is talking about their candidate now being sick and getting trying to get transparency. I have no doubt, and have been supported in that tweet by people who have been in russian counterintelligence that the russians are trying to figure out whats going on in that hospital room because of the lack of transparency. The trump family and white house has a lot of vulnerabilities with their phones, with their intelligence, but the goal here whether its russia, china, even our allies, is what is going to happen in the United States<\/a> of america . We know that the president is doing better than he did the day before and well probably see how hes doing today. I put this to our medical expert, and i wanted to now ask this in a National Security<\/a> context. The president is in the hospital. Will be there for several days. The Vice President<\/a> was at a rose garden event just in front of mike lee. Fewer than fix feet, close contact, but hes going to debate on wednesday night and then going back to in person campaigning from a National Security<\/a> perspective, reconcile that with the priorities. When the president is in the hospital. Right. So thats exactly the point. So mike pence is not just the Vice President<\/a>. He holds the office of the Vice President<\/a>. That office from a National Security<\/a> perspective is what we call our redundancy. You have a president and then a spare. Its as simple as that. You want the Vice President<\/a> , especially when the Vice President<\/a> is ill, you know, he may not be very ill, but especially when the president is ill, you want the Vice President<\/a> to protect himself because of the role he plays in americas National Security<\/a>, in americas transfer of power. So i think, i wouldnt treat those two events as the same. If mike pence continues to test well, leading up to the debate, he probably can go to the debate because hes probably not infected. But the rallies strike me as outside of anything going on as careless. But also particularly careless for mike pence, because hes the more people he encounters, the more vulnerable he exposes himself. I think whatever your politics are from a National Security<\/a> perspective, the constitution as an heir and a spare. When the heir is in the hospital, the spare should take care of himself. It is the sole constitutional role, to be prepared in situations like this. Right. Julia, thank you for being with us. Thank you. Ill see you later. Last weeks Supreme Court<\/a> announcement of Amy Coney Barrett<\/a> is looking like a possible super spreader event now that theres a number of attendees who have contracted the coronavirus. And we have Something Special<\/a> for you tonight. Watch the premier of first ladies. This weeks episode is about michelle obama. How she carved out her own legacy balancing her role as a modern first lady and a mom. Heres a preview. There is as michelle puts it, no handbook for incoming first ladies. The role of the first lady is a throwback. We set up the white house as a royal court in a way. And i think for michelle obama, a modern woman, a career woman, to suddenly be the great mans wife was an adjustment. She describes the role as a strange kind of side car to the presidency. The first ladys not a job. Hillary clinton learned that when she turned it into a job. We dont want that. Thats going too far. She said the one that she took the greatest inspiration from was laura bush. After a bruising campaign, michelle is determined to control her own message. She starts with a simple statement deeper than it first appears. How would you define your role as first lady . I joke that my first job is going to be mom in chief, because with little kids, i have to make sure that their feet are on the ground. Obviously shes going to be mom in chief. Shes not shy about being the mom in chief. Starting to define her role as first lady. She was concerned about her daughters, but was also just savvy way of saying dont worry. This isnt a twofor. Im not here to make policy despite my executive experience. If i want to play the traditional first lady role, i can play the traditional first lady role. But dont be fooled in a country that consistently demonizes black mothers. Black women as welfare queens. Black women as drugged addicts. A statement as simple as im first mom and thats my priority is something that is profound, because its something thats been denied to black women for so long. First ladies premiers tonight at 10 eastern. Well be right back.

Were seeing an Alarming Number<\/a> of people close to the president test positive for covid19. Over the past couple days lawmakers, white house advisers, a university president. Theyve all been diagnosed with coronavirus. Heres our chief medical correspondent, dr. Sanjay gupta. What youre looking at is the origins of a likely super spreader event. At least eight people including donald trump himself are infected. And that is among those who have had the ability to get tested. You cant see the virus, but what is happening during a super spreading event. Its a rough analogy. If we think of a campfire and say thats a person affected and releasing virus, its not like its the ring around the person that is actually going to be the risk. Its those that are on the side where more of the virus is being projected either through talking or through the breeze, the air thats blowing it there. But it was also these moments that caught cnn medical analysts eye. When the event finished and theyre hugging and shaking hands and saying congratulations, where if i was a betting person, i would be putting my money of where this occurred . We know the safety protocol was to test anyone in close proximity of the president , but it wasnt required for everyone attending the ceremony, and it clearly wasnt foolproof. Again, take a look here. Where the people diagnosed were sitting. Not next to each other. It leads us to look at what happened right before and right after. Former white house counselor Kellyanne Conway<\/a> closely leaning in to speak with attorney general william barr. Lots of people closely interacting with their guard down. It can be difficult to pinpoint these super spreader events. This one ceremony is giving us a look at the anatomy of how it happens all the time. Not just here, but any time peoplinge aggregate in large grs in the middle of a pandemic. Theres no doubt there has been transmission at the protests, the political rallies. Its just a fact that the virus doesnt discriminate. Just because we havent documented it doesnt mean it hasnt happened. Its just that weve got an event thats visible, welldocumented, well tested, and were seeing the outcome from it. So christie, you get an idea of how a super spreader event like that can occur, but keep in mind, as they said, usually its not a singular event. There could be smaller meetings indoors. Sometimes people get together after. Thats the challenge for the contact tracers to not only look at that event, but look at the where abouts of people after and see if theres any connections. Its why the question to the president s last negative test, why its so important. It establishes the timeline. So, for example, if someone becomes symptomatic on friday, as we heard the president did, when did the exposure likely occur . Probably several days before that. And also if you look at the timeline, if you look at the bottom line there, if someone is symptomatic on friday, its usually two or three days before that where they are most contagious. Right . So thursday, wednesday, tuesday. Where was the president during those days . Who was he coming in contact with . Thats the job the contact tracers have for an event like this. Its important work, but thats how you start to take control of a pandemic. Sanjay, thank you. The nfl, their coronavirus problem is spreading. The patriots and chiefs, the game is on hold. But the league says the case, this one is different than others. You know who has any support for president , nba commissioner adam silver.

[doorbell chimes] thank you. [doorbell chimes] bravo. Careful, hamill. Daddys not here to save you. Oh i am my daddy. Wait, what . What are you talking about . 51 minutes past the hour. Patriots quarterback cam newton has tested positive for coronavirus. The nfl is postponing the new england game with the chiefs. The second game postponed this weekend. Coy wire, good to see you this morning. Do we know when this game might be played . Yes. Were getting there. Good morning to you. The nfl says its hopeful the patriots chiefs game could be played tomorrow or tuesday, but it depends on the results of other players tests. The patriots will be without cam newton placed on the reserve covid list yesterday as first reported by espn and the nfl network. Now, i spoke to a highranking nfl official who told me newton was tested friday morning, went through an entire day of meetings and practice, and then the team learned to the positive test early saturday morning. While we have seen other games go on even though a player tested positive earlier in the week, the League Source<\/a> tells me this game with us postponed due to the nature of the quarterback position. This comes as the outbreak on the titans swelled to 16 people. Eight players and eight personnel. Their game against the steal steelers has been pushed back to later this month. Now, the big day of College Football<\/a> that it was. Fans were seen across the country in the stands, including in dallas where smu Campus Police<\/a> were forced to clear out the student section in the middle of their upset win over number 25 memphis. The school telling cnn the students kicked out were refusing to wear masks and maintain social distance. Up to 20,000 fans were in attendance for georgia hosting auburn. And they were loud. Fans were required to wear masks while entering the stadium and within the concourse areas but they could remove the masks once they got to their seats. Thats according to the school. The bulldogs office stomping all over the tigers. Racking up 200 yards on the ground and the defense dominant. Uga wins its fourth straight in the series 274. It was the first upset saturday of the season. Six top 25 teams going down all to unranked opponents. None bigger than tcu over texas. And the game ball is going to go to horned frogs quarterback max. In august he discovered he had a heart condition during covid testing and wasnt sure hed ever play again. After recovering from surgery, he shined last night. Two running touchdowns. 300 yards of offense. His defense made sure the fairy tale ending came through, forcing a fumble at the goal line late in the fourth to secure the 3331 win. An incredible day of football. And another one coming up potentially with the nfl games just hours away. All right. Coy wire, always good to see you. Thank you. You too. Thank you. So with all thats happened this week, saturday night live had a lot of material to kick off the 46th season last night. Host chris rock entertainment, first show in the studio with a Live Audience<\/a> since the coronavirus pandemic forced them to go remote in march. Given the uncertainty around President Trump<\/a>s health, there was a tricky tone. Alec baldwin returned as the president. Jim carey debuted as joe biden and what brings his uniqueness, athleticism. Lets welcome the democratic candidate. Boo. Here comes with booing. Former Vice President<\/a> of the United States<\/a>. Allegedly. And senator from delaware not even a real state. Joe biden. [ applause ] Vice President<\/a>. One second, chris. Okay. It looks like youre ready to debate, joe. Absolutely not. But ive got the beginning of 46 fantastic ideas. I may or may not have access to. Now, lets do this. Im holding my bladder. Lets get at er. Sized meals in the time it takes some ovens to preheat. With ninjas superheated air, you can air fry for extra crispy, guiltfree, delicious results. And because its a ninja foodi, it can do things that no other oven can, and even flip up and out of the way. The ninja foodi air fry oven. The oven that crisps and flips away. Dont settle for less.

Hurry offer ends october 5th. I cant tell you with any degree of confidence what the situation is with our president. Hes not out of the woods. The next 48 hours or so, with the history of this virus, we know, can be tough. Im starting to feel good. You dont know over the next peefrd a few days. I guess thats the real test. They threw the kitchen sink at the president at the very beginning of his illness. Either the president was extraordinarily ill or his team was extraordinarily panicked. His response has been homicidal negligence. He has failed to protect the american people.
