The fact that she did brief reporters of the white house this weekend without wearing a mask. It is all of us moving forward here showing the dangers of this virus that many people are positive with this without showing any symptoms. This is not the first person of the white house to test positive, you have the preside president , the first lady, chris christie, kellyanne conway, senator mike lee, senator tom tell us, reverend john jenkins, hope hicks, Ronna Mcdaniel and the president s Campaign Manager bill stepian. Officials say Vice President mike pence and his wife tested negative this morning. The Vice President is scheduled to arrive this evening in salt lake city, and after the debate the Trump Campaign says the Vice President will travel to what they described as key states and will campaign in arizona and traveled to indiana where they will vote early and move on to other events of the Campaign Promises to announce. They canceled Campaign Rallies in florida and wisconsin among other places, and its unclear whether the president will return to the campaign trail. It is some discussion and we are still waiting for the update from the doctors which we hope to get shortly. Dana lets bring in Brian Morgenstern in. You and the rest of the white house staff have been through the ringer this weekend thats for sure. Let me just start by asking what its like to be there of the white house. Im sure youve worked all weekend, and not having a president there. Thank you for the question, its good to be with you. We are all vigilant and all working together whether its by phone or in person, if thats possible. If we have meetings we need to attend in person, we are kind of experienced with this at this point, its been a number of months during the pandemic and we know what to do when there are positive cases around, people who may be exposed and isolated and retake tests regularly so that we are able to do it identify cases quickly. Things are cleaned on a very regular basis, so we are going about our jobs as best we can and installing calm and confidence with the American People, their government is working. The president is working and, i understand that there will be a briefing at 3 00 p. M. Today which is when we might learn whether the president will be returning to the white house . I wont get in front of dr. Conley or any announcements on where the president will spend tonight or be in future days. I know that the president has been very active and very energetic. We saw him tweeting with the caps lock button on quite a few times this morning andy how does National Security briefing yesterday and hes been on the phone with other staff today. I know he is continuing to work and is eager to do so. Resuming a more normal schedule. Im sure that he wants to and he will also be consulting with his doctors and following their advice for sure. Dana i would say that we can communications with sub optimal. From the doctor and mark meado mark meadows, that couldve been more clear to avoid the confusion that ensued. I think there were comments that were misconstrued quite a bit and i think there was panic on the part of the media that maybe wasnt justified. The doctor gave several on camera briefings himself and several memos and he released to the extent that there were points that needed to be clarified and i think we clarified them properly. There is no easy way to communicate in the middle of a pandemic and in in the election when the president is in the hospital. Of course he released a couple of videos himself to talk to the American People so weve been very transparent and it is not an easy topic to communicate on, but we are working hard on it and working to inform the American People on a realtime basis. Dana so your boss, press secretary Kayleigh Mcenany that she has tested positive but she is feeling fine. Two deputies also in the press office have tested positive. So i suppose you are holding down the fort. When she was briefing over the weekend, she did so without a mask. If you do any goggles Going Forward or come up with that change . We will wear a mask when we cannot socially distance but if youre outside and standing back from everyone it may be easier to hear if we dont wear one. If there is a situation where i need to be close to someone and im wearing my mask when i cannot distance if im in a meeting with someone and i cant step back or stand back, especially if we are indoors, i will definitely be wearing my mask. So just on Contact Tracing for people and the cdc to guidelines, if you are within 6 feet for more than 15 minutes you are considered close contact. I think what Kayleigh Mcenany was doing in terms of gargling, she was back more than 6 feet and outdoors. I think maybe some people are reacting a little bit harshly to that, i think she was behaving safely and she was outdoors and standing back from people. Dana and her statement she rode today, she definitively did not know about the hope hicks positive test. Can you define, what does she mean by definitively . And they may have preferred to cancel it, she would not do that as well. The press office gets information that it needs, has a press Office Reached out to the chief of staff to circle out better here . We talk to the chief regularly and he is keeping us informed and keeping the American Public informed and i know that we are working hard to get accurate uptodate information out to the American People, and multiple briefings with the doctors, multiple briefings of the president himself, and the chief getting out there. If we need and to clarify anything we want to do that as promptly as possible. Dana so it appears that the Supreme Court nomination, sort of the rollout of Amy Coney Barrett last saturday which seems to be aware a lot of this, the coronavirus will spread. There are a couple of senators that tested positive, and the plan right now is two things. And also the covid relief bill. The president tweeted about that on saturday, is he going to do some more and that there are some pretty desperate people out there in america that are looking for this relief. I want to note that the event last saturday, we seen a number of positive tests, but generally they say its a 48 hour window from a positive test or symptom working backward. So really these positive tests that came out late in the week wouldnt really be traced back to the event, i think people were sort of jumping to conclusions there. So your question about Supreme Court nomination, there doesnt seem to be any reason to hold back. The Judiciary Committee has had numerous types of hearings and theyve had oversight and nomination hearings and it proceeded with them in a hybrid basis where senators can participate virtually. There doesnt seem to be any reason to slow that down at this time. As for the stimulus question, its a great one. The white house has been pushing regularly really over the last month or more for a relief for people who are unemployed through no part fault of their own, for Small Businesses and the ppp program, we want to keep people connected to their jobs. We want money for their schools to have ppe and testing so we can have parents back to work and not playing double dead dont make it duty. Really the republicans have been supportive of this for quite some time. Its been held up really on the democrat side where we are hoping to make some movement there. With offered standalone bills for example in airlines, and other measures, a smaller package perhaps for Small Businesses, unemployment and schools. We put forth many different proposals, and they address really direct problems that people are facing right now on if we hope that democrats are coming around and we can reach an agreement. Dana brian morgan, youve been very generous with your time and i cant imagine how busy you are. Thank you very much. Joe biden says, the democratic nominees are making those comments before heading to the biggest Battle Ground of all and thats where we would find peter doocy. The Biden Campaign is trying to get the candidate to stick to Strict Health and safety protocols while hes out on the campaign trail but today it was not a specialist encouraging him to social distance, it was his wife. The doctors listen to the science. If the Scientists Say that its safe, that the distance are safe, then i think thats fine. He has not tested every day for covid, just ahead of trips. And speaking off negative, a pledge to poll negative campaign thats a socially distance rally bernie sanders. Which candidate for president has shown that he will be disciplined and he will be responsible in dealing with this pandemic. Which candidate has made it clear that he will develop policies based on the advice of the best scientists in our country and the world . There are a handful of biden supporters, a small crowd that is growing a little bit. We expect him to be here in little haiti and then hes got to stop in Little Havana as well before town hall this evening. Dana is a lot to unpack from President Trumps treatment, and we will ask an expert about all of it, next. Veterans, record low Mortgage Rates have just dropped even lower. Using their va benefits, veterans who refi at newday can now save 3000 dollars a year with the va streamline refi. At newday theres no income verification, no appraisal, and not a single dollar out of pocket. One call can save you 3000 a year. Dana President Trumps doctors are expected to give an update in the next hour as we learn more about cases heading the white house. Youve treated patients that have this disease, tell us what you think about this stage of the president s journey with covid. So now that we are past the viral replication stage which hes been treated for by regeneron and run disappear which is to shorten the course of viral load, now we are on to the process. Watching patients with this new kind of daisies as he can be happily hypoxic. The worst thing you can do is damage already inflamed lungs by intervening people. You can do that for a short portion of your time and not become fatigued. Hes getting through this information process and recovering quite well. Dana how long does that inflammation process typically last . Varies from patient to patient but because i cut on his viral load, and the hypoxia was fairly transient, it should be fairly quick especially with dexamethasone on board, it decreases the inflammation which thickens the lung tissue and decreases the durability to bring the oxygen into your bloodstream. Dana i see some speculate about possible side effects of these drugs that we know hes taking because his doctor has said, any guidance on that . Its an extremely safe drug and in phase three trials i found the placebo it affect was similar to the drug itself. Colitis, no side effects are expected. Dana what about from the beginning of this pandemic to now, the types of therapeutics that doctors now have at their disposal, how quickly were we able to find things that treat covid19 . The progress has been incredible. Especially vaccination things would come up with now. In the past, four years has actually been considered a fast vaccination and now we are at less than a year and we are coming up with multiple vaccinations for multiple companies because of the warp speed that they have done and also the mechanical treatments that we found out, you shouldnt be intimating people. It would drugs it had more than 60 different studies, probably more than a hundred studies on drugs that can help with this. That helps with the inflammation process and we are constantly making progress. Thats still a novel virus. Dana and covid19 viruses are on the rise across the country. Jonathan serrie is live in atlanta home to the centers for Disease Control and prevention. Put this into perspective for us. We are talking about new york once again, they made so much progress curbing the coronavirus but now local officials are concerned about flareups and nine new york city zip codes. Today Governor Andrew Cuomo announced that he will close public and private schools in those areas. Take a listen. I am not going to recommend or allow any new york city family to send their child to a school that i wouldnt send my child to. They were closed schools in those areas tomorrow. Governor cuomo says large religious gatherings in these neighborhoods have contributed to much of the spread and he plans to meet with Orthodox Jewish leaders tomorrow and said he will not hesitate to close temples, tort churches and mosques that refused to implement state social distancing guidelines. Today, mayor bill de blasio attended a mass at st. Patricks cathedral. And its a sobering reminder of the heavy told that that city paid during. Up next, mike pence. Hes taking the lead on the date campaign trail. Dana Vice President mike pence taking the lead on the campaign trail this week and some key states as it gears up for its big debate against Kamala Harris. Lets bring in charlie hurt and harold ford jr. Because we could sort of see november 3rd at right in the near future. I want to show you this pole. This is an nbc wall street journal poll with biden and harris had 53 in the Trump Campaign at 39 and that of course is a national poll. Let me first to go to you, and harold come and get your sense of how you think this is. First, thanks for having me on. When you have those kind of Numbers National or state, it takes on a little more significance, although i would agree with probably charlie on this as well that the statebystate particularly the six states are most important. I think the debate on wednesday goes without saying, its very, very important. Its important to hear, harris asked Vice President pence how he would have behaved differently if he were Vice President. What you have handled the covid virus differently . I think a lot of america will be watching this with a keener eye on both of those candidates for all of the reasons that have been enumerated over the last several days. Number three, i think we have a lot more to happen in this campaign. The polls are relevant and as you well know, weve got a little over four weeks left and it will be interesting to see in each of these states how this plays out. Dana it was over two weeks ago that Ruth Bader Ginsburg passed away and now we already have a Supreme Court nominee, and a lot could happen. Now to be the most important or most widely watched of the Vice President ial debate ever. These are Vice President of debates and it obviously takes on added importance with whats happening in the last week or the last three days. Look, its 2020. I think a lot could happen between now and any election day as weve seen over the last three days or the past three weeks for the past three months. I think thats another reason why, and i agree with what you are saying, harold, taking to this proposal with a grain of salt. I think you especially have to take it with a grain of salt especially with this momentum momentousness. Another cautionary note is important to remember, and at this point in 2016 and of course there was National Polls that put President Trump at the exact same deficit as these polls suggest he has right now and of course go on with the combination of some goofy polling at the National Level but also ignoring the state polling, they managed to get it all wrong. Dana i saw the binding campaign is putting some resources, theyve put a lot of money into places like texas and ohio. Obviously those two places went for trump last time. Is that money well spent or is that fools gold . Defer to them. This concerns me that democrats have one more recently. Even republic republican governor dewine, i think ive seen him commenting to those to that effect. So to just hone in on a point where i think hes absolutely right, the polling right now, democrats should not take any comfort in any of these numbers. It was i would have been four years ago and it certainly could happen again and one of the things that we are seeing, the Trump Supporters in the biden supporters, it is astounding to me in so many ways, just the recognition of what happened to, even the divide i hear this morning. For that matter, early afternoon which is the a supporter of both sides. Dana it has been a remarkable 72 hours. Fox has you covered as Vice President pence and Kamala Harris meet facetoface and salt lake city. The before the debate i will join brett and martha for a preview that begins at 6 00 p. M. Eastern as well as after the main event which is all part of our very special prime time lineup. We will see you there. Texas senator ted cruz is up next. And follow us on instagram at the daily briefing. Be sure to check there and maybe we will throw in a jasper picture as well.
