chuck: dick what ask that. [laughter] when thatow expression started, but i am probably not the only one who is going to google after this is over and finding out the origins of that expression. navy it is. it would make sense. and i am not sure that jefferson would not appreciate it, to be honest. ask, werethe people the religious services open to the general public, or just for members of congress. chuck: it was the general public. was a public service to the community. to have them in the capital. it was intended as a public service, so yes. the public was invited. >> you noted in your comments jefferson was not very conflict diverse. but on the other hand, it appears he was very much in conflict with the federalists. how do you reconcile those two things? attempts torson's suppress conflict, it never works. we know this in our personal lives as well. it will come out sideways one way or another. jefferson in avoiding conflict, and he would do it in his cabinet meetings as well. some of his cabinet would sta

chuck? >> i have a feeling there will be more media requests to have that public, but i look forward to your reporting on that. i know the minute you get your eyes on that, you will report back to us in minneapolis. shaquille brewster, thank you, and katy, over to you. >> and chuck, that additional $600 weekly unemployment benefit that soca have come to count on during this pandemic has set to expire at the end of the month. the question now is the white house and congress inching closer to an extension? there is some indication that maybe they are. we're live on capitol hill after the break. >>> plus, alabama democratic senator doug jones joins us later in the hour, fresh off of tommy tuberville's victory yesterday in the republican runoff, beating jeff sessions. you're watching msnbc. runoff, b. you're watching msnbc. ss can be ready for it. a digital foundation from vmware helps you redefine what's possible... now. from the hospital shifting to remote patient care in just 48 hours... to t

chuck? >> the fact of the matter is, the reality check about where the public is, we just spent 15 minutes on that reality check. kristen, steve, and kari, a tremendous way to get us started, to get through the poll. there's a lot more in it. there's a lot more we haven't released yet, which we look forward to releasing next week, but this is the important stuff right now politically and with the virus, it is a -- at this point, a five-alarm political fire for the president. up next, we are tracking the latest coronavirus hot spots as case counts surge. some local lawmakers consider bringing back some total shutdowns if the situation doesn't change course soon. >>> plus, new hope on the vaccine front. we'll talk to a lead researcher with some promising new findings. but first, an update on the health of supreme court justice ruth bad ruth bader ginsburg. the court says she has already been discharged from the hospital and is resting comfortably at home. ginsburg had expected to be remain hos

i'm chuck todd. the white house has just confirmed. president trump will, indeed, hold another coronavirus briefing this evening. we don't know a lot of details, including whether or not the president will appear alone again. the take a look at this. there's been nearly 15 million confirmed covid-19 cases worldwide. hit that number today and one half of the world's covid-19 cases are simply in the americas alone. that's right. the americas plural make up 12% of the world's population. plus the united states has ordered the closure of the historic chinese consulate in houston as tensions escalate. documents were being burned at the consulate early this morning. the country's emissary is yetting ready to evacuate. the senate is carcinogenic legislation that would end up banning the popular app tik tok on federal devices, citing security concerns. the house passed a ban on the app as part of its defense bill yesterday. joining me now is my co-anchor, katie tur. i'm not looking forward to the conversation of the tik tok

i'm chuck todd. here's what's happening right now. breaking news out of the white house this afternoon, we have learned the president will be holding a press conference, at least that's what they're calling it, at 5:00 p.m. no word on what he plans to discuss and if he will take ques

i'm chuck todd. the headlines would be rightly characterized as absurd if they weren't also tragic because this is no way to govern wrrp amid a raging pandemic, as tens of millions are out of work or fear being put out of work, the president is defending the inaccurate and darnls and conspiratorial claims of a random doctor he found on twitter. he acnaunls he knows nothing about his doctor, but she caught his attention by claiming hyd x hydroxy chloroquine can prevent and cure covid. the fda begs to differ. more than 150,000 people have died in the united states of this disease, there is no cure available, yet what the public is witnessing is a proxy battle pitting the top infectious disease expert against the musing of a random doctor elevated by the president. >> the was a woman who was spectacular in her statements about it. that she's had tremendous success with it. she said that she's had tremendous success with hundreds of different patients. and i thought her voice was an important voice, but

>> my sense is they are starting to, chuck. there's deep concern within the white house, within the trump campaign, that the president needs to do something differently. you saw him try to turn the page on the coronavirus crisis, try to put the focus on the economy and the states that are reopening. and if you talk to his aides and allies, they will say that, essentially, they weren't getting the message across that he was leading on this crisis. if you look at the polling, time and time again, essentially it said the american public didn't believe as though he was out front on this. so, you saw major change in strategy this past week, president trump bringing back those daily briefings. instead of being at the podium, though, with his task force, he was at the podium alone. this is a risk y strategy, chuc. these briefings are a shot shorter than when they got rid of them in april. the question is will he stay on message? they were canceled in april because he made a slew of controversial comments. there's no doubt, though, adm

chuck? >> hey, matt, very quickly, what kind of security procedures, obviously, to go public like this is also a warning to all of these pharmaceutical companies that are involved in this vaccine research, is the government now helping them with security or are they on their own? >> well, here in britain, they definitely are. actually earlier this year, british authorities increased security protections for as many as a dozen -- around a dozen different institutions looking for a vaccine. they already got wind the russians were trying to sabotage or steal research from these institutions including oxford university. oxford, of course, for a while, they've been partnered with astrazeneca, which is a u.s. pharmaceutical firm. and so they were considered a target. this isn't just britain. this is britain, the u.s. and canada. so the russians, they are casting quite a wide net, chuck. >> they are. of course, those three companies uniquely pretty advanced when it comes to pharmaceutical research.

i'm chuck todd. the white house is gearing up for a second coronavirus task force briefing led by the president. like the one yesterday, this, too, will be held in the 5:00 hour. this one set to begin at 5:30, a reminder before reviving those briefings, the administration had gone nearly a week without a presidential event even focused on the virus. >> on capitol hill, negotiatation continue to be focused on the coronavirus, and even a deadline for the package dominated discussions between the president and republicans. it's interesting, we did learn in the last hour mitch mcconnell is thinking of a temporary extension of unemployment benefits while they negotiate everything else. >>> on friday, a federal moratorium on evictions will expire. when and if it does, 12 million americans across the country unable to pay their rent will be at risk for homelessness. let me bring in my coanchor for the hour, katy tur. congress is not going to meet these deadlines, they're just not. i'm curious of how we're g

chuck. >> thank you, katy. it's a reminder, none of us know what underlying thing we might have, if you get this virus. that's the scary thing about it. >>> a mad dash to administer at least 5,000 coronavirus tests a day has begun in arizona. two federally backed large scale testing sites are open in the phoenix area where they'll remain for the next two weeks. they hope the extra manpower will be enough to ease the significant bottleneck of processing and reporting test results. with us from phoenix, arizona, is vaughn hillyard. there's a lot of confusion about some of the data we're seeing out of arizona the last few days. there seems to be some that basically they can't process any more tests than they are right now, so we don't know if -- we don't know if there's more cases because they basically, it's possible they have run out of the capacity to test on a given day? >> over the last week, we have seen a percent positive rate of about 23%. which is still the highest in the country. and that's why when you

chuck. >>> thank you. back in may one forecast predicted florida would reach 4,000 coronavirus deaths by august. the governor's office called that alarmist, and the models were wrong, and they were right. they underestimated the numbers. more on that in a minute. >>> in a matter of weeks, massachusetts will hold a big-time senate primary pitting incumbent ed markey against challenger joe kennedy iii. ed markey joins us next on the fight for his political life. >>> well, believe it or not, we were still counting in the new york primary. the associated press just called a big upset in that democratic primary from a few weeks ago that we've been following. jamal bowman, the progressive democrat from new york defeated the chairman of the house foreign affairs committee in a primary, 16-term incumbent elliott i thi elliott engel. bowman had stepped down as a middle school principal in the bronx to take on engel who's been a congressman since 1989. bowman had received endorsements from senators bernie sanders an

chuck? >> dasha burns, for what it's worth, as we have seen people go in and out, quite a few have been wearing masks. so i think we're seeing, and i have noticed that down south, increase in mask wearing as the sunbelt battles this virus. dasha burns in alabama, thank you. katy, over to you. >>> and november is shaping up to be a huge month for the balance of power in congress, as republicans fight to maintain control of the senate. with us now is nbc news national political correspondent steve kornacki. steve, big race in alabama. what else are you watching? >> today, obviously you just set the stage for alabama, tuberville, sessions, the winner gets doug jones. jones won that special election in december of 2017 against roy moore, a democrat winning in a state trump carried by 28 points. trump heavily favored to win alabama by a large margin again. in the preliminary that set up this runoff, tuberville did outperform sessions. there's also this. democratic runoff in texas. the winner of t

i'm chuck todd. here's what's happening right now. 65,000 new cases of coronavirus were confirmed in the united states in the last 24 hours. not bending that curve at all. the second highest single day total since the start of the pandemic. and today, five states are reporting new highs and daily fatalities from the virus. those five states, florida, utah, north carolina, nevada, and alabama. and two other states are preparing for deaths to climb even higher. arizona and texas have requested mobile morgues in anticipation of traditional morgues exceeding capacity. >> the centers for disease control will no longer collect coronavirus data. the trump administration has ordered hospitals to bypass the cdc and instead send the information directly to a central database in washington. the case the trump administration is making is that it will streamline this data process, but no word on whether they will fix the cdc system if it indeed is as broken as they say. >> moments ago as the president departed fo

chuck? >> yeah, that 27% positive rate, that is way, way too high to have, perhaps to be as open as they are. ellison barber in miami today. getting a full, full geographic tour of the state. thank you. >>> next, we'll check on the case count in another hot spot, texas. plus, we'll speak with a leading vaccine doctor. stick around. ding vaccine doctor stick around about medicare and 65, ysupplemental insurance. medicare is great, but it doesn't cover everything - only about 80% of your part b medicare costs, which means you may have to pay for the rest. that's where medicare supplement insurance comes in: to help pay for some of what medicare doesn't. learn how an aarp medicare supplement insurance plan, insured by united healthcare insurance company might be the right choice for you. a free decision guide is a great place to start. call today to request yours. so what makes an aarp medicare supplement plan unique? well, these are the only medicare supplement plans endorsed by aarp and that'

let me ask you a question, chuck -- i'm sorry, charlie. i shouldn't call you chuck. could chuck woolry get senate confirmation now to a job in the administration? >> and i'm not even being facetious, because where is the republican party in checking this right now? the president could nominate chuck woolry to an important job tomorrow and he could very well be confirmed. >> well, john, i've been saying for some time, the gop is going to have to start thinking about where it's going post-trumpism. because this presidency could end pretty quickly. the party will have to get to a place where it becomes much more socially sensible, socially tolerant, and more recent regulated free markets. it's in a very bad place. and i would shutter to think that a guy like chuck here, chuck woolry could somehow be confirmed to just about anything. i mean, he's the host of some tv show that i've never watched in my life, to be honest with you. and i just don't think that qualifies him for much of anything. i can't imagine -- i would hope that the gop would never confirm somebody as unq

i've always respected chuck a ton. growing up in the city, chuck d was a big knicks fan. and there was a myth that he copied marv albert, who used to do play by play for the knicks, his -- his cadence as part of his rap. but one of the cleanest rappers. obviously, much more than just music, he's a social activist. and, look, you can like his song, not like his song, based on your politics. but the urgency of music in a moment is indicative of the size of a moment. and it will be interesting to see who follows pe's footsteps. >> i think so. and, first of all, for the record, probably, when you were

frankly, chuck, we need to double it again. we can only do that with money coming in from the federal government and it has to be for a long period of time. we're not going to be out of this in a month, two months or three months. >> i understand you say people looked to their governors, but you sort of ducked the question. do you have confidence in the president and his leadership? >> i have confidence in the administration. we are on the phone every week, democrats and republicans with the vice president. the vice president has been doing an absolutely phenomenal job in leading that and of course, the president just delegated that to the vice president. any time i've asked, look, we need something. we need to try to get more agents and the fda moving and every single time i've asked the president or vice president they've come through. getting into a discussion, and figuring out is it the president or whatever it is. this is not about politics. this is, frankly, getting the job done every single day and all of the governors a

>>> good afternoon i'm chuck todd there are a lot of developments to get to this afternoon let's get right to it. nbc news has learned president trump plans to sign a memorandum that orders undocumented immigrants not be counted when using census data for the apportionment of congressional representation the move is certain to be challenged in court. the u.s. is now approaching 4 million confirmed cases of covid-19 since the start of the pandemic and a brief reminder of how we got here we had the first confirmed case just six months ago. took 99 days in late april that the u.s. reached the 1 million case mark. another 42 days to hit 2 million cases in early june. took just 27 days after that that we crossed the 3 million mark and that was only two weeks ago. you can see there is an acceleration on the senate floor today, mitch mcconnell announced that republicans are going to be proposing $105 billion to reopen schools in their next coronavirus relief plan. he also supported another round of direct payments to families, but time is quickly running out for millions of americans. in an

chuck, first to you. let me talk about this commutation. what makes this different? what got mueller so concerned that he would break his silence? >> i'm so glad bob mueller spoke out as a man of tremendous dignity and integrity. for him to speak out, andrea, is what's so unusual. he didn't say anything we haven't said before. we've read his report, know what roger stone did, but what really irked mueller and really causes me so much pain is the fact that roger stone could be a witness against the president. so here the president is using his enormous power of pardon and commutation in order to reward a witness who remained silent, refused to give testimony about the president's miscontact. that is what's so troubling. we've had bad pardons before. president clinton's pardon of mark rich was ebusiness moll and a monumental misjudgment, but this is different, because stone

frankly, chuck, we need to double it again. we can only do that with money coming in from the federal government and it has to be for a long period of time. we're not going to be out of this in a month, two months or three months. >> i understand you say people looked to their governors, but you sort of ducked the question. do you have confidence in the president and his leadership? >> i have confidence in the administration. we are on the phone every week, democrats and republicans with the vice president. the vice president has been doing an absolutely phenomenal job in leading that and of course, the president just delegated that to the vice president. any time i've asked, look, we need something. we need to try to get more agents and the fda moving and every single time i'i've asked e president or vice president they've come through. getting into a discussion, and figuring out is it the president or whatever it is. this is not about politics. this is, frankly, getting the job done every single day and all of the governors a

>> so good we're getting to the science, chuck. i like this part the average test delay is too long you're right it averages around three days and in some places it's a week and that undercuts the value of the testing and quickly get them isolated so they don't spread it around and it's very hard to make that work when there is a long delay to get that in. so what are we doing the science of this is very critical the nih is trying to develop an additional array in what we call point of care. most of the tests being done right now, you have to have the swab and you send it off to a central laboratory and there's a time to do the delivery of the sample then they have to do the testing. then they're backed up, and it takes a while to come back we need to get a things that are more on the spot, and actually there's a number of new technologies that are coming along and look promising in that space. we need to invest a lot of money and the government needs to do so just this week, you might know we will be sending to about 700 or 800 nu

>> so good we're getting to the science i like this part, chuck. the average test delay is too long you're absolutely right. it averages around three days and in some places it's a week and that undercuts the value of the testing. you do the testing to find out who's carrying the virus and quickly get them isolated so they don't spread it around. it's very hard to make that work when there's a long delay built in so what are we doing the science of this is very critical nih is deeply engaged in an effort to try to develop an additional array of tests that can be done in what we call point of care. most of the tests being done right now, you have to have the swab and you send it off to a central laboratory there's time there in order to do the delivery of the sample. then they have to do the testing. they're kind of backed up, it ticks awhile to come back. we need to get a things that are more on the spot and actually there's a number of new technologies that are coming along and look promising in that space. we need to invest a lot of money the gov

it is "meet the press" daily, i'm chuck todd. we're following crises facing this presidency and now this democracy. as this day unfolded we're reminded that every one of crises might be worse than we thought. 154,000 deaths into the pandemic and public health officials today testified there is no end in sight. they also made it clear that we still do not seem to have a national strategy to combat and contain this virus beyond hoping for a vaccine. as dr. fauci suggested in testimony today, we never really had one to begin with. >> would you agree with me that the critical difference is either the presence or the absence of social cohesion and political leadership to actually develop a plan, execute it and stick to it? >> i think that with such a diverse of response in this country from different states that we really did not have a unified bringing everything down. >> at the same hearing the nation's testing czar said that we still don't have the testing capacity we need due to testing delays. >> would it be possible for our nati

chuck? >> boy, that training brochure there is certainly an interesting new piece of evidence that's introduced as well in these transcrypts. it's a good thing we have this body camera footage. shaquille brewster, thank you. katy, over to you. >> previously unheard video and audio reveal new details about the fatal police shooting of breonna taylor in march. that video obtained by wave-3 news in louisville shows the moments after taylor was killed. we also hear taylor's boyfriend telling police why he fired his gun. >> what is it about? you guys fired shots. you just said -- >> we were scared. we didn't know who it was. >> and in an audio interview obtained exclusively by nbc news, we hear the investigators' approach while questioning louisville police sergeant jonathan mattingly who led the fatal late-night operation. the investigator describes a raid involving at least seven officers and a battering ram as, quote, the most passive way in, and says mattingly rightfully returned fire after t

chuck, back to you. i know you've got some questions as well. >> well, i was going to say, on the same topic, stewart, you were a little more involved in politics in the '80s than david or i, apologies for aging you a little bit. explain to our viewers this. why did george h.w. bush and roger ailes and lee atwater -- basically, they ran this sort of nonissue campaign against dukakis, made up a 17-point defic deficit, able to pull it off. why do you think that won't work against joe biden the way it worked against michael dukakis? >> well, basically the question in '88 was, would you like a third term of ronald reagan? the answer was, more people would like that than not. the problem essentially that trump has, incumbent -- races tend to be about the incumbent. all this stuff, donald trump is great at promising and terrible at delivering. it's been true all his life. so now they're confused about this. you hear it. they're running pictures of donald trump, america, and saying this is what it will be like

i'm chuck todd. good to be back. we're following two big stories, the unrelenting surge of covid cases in the united states, and the fallout from the supreme court's landmark rulings and the president's tax returns and the bigger question of whether a president is above the law. first, the latest on the

. >> for more, i am joined now by chuck rosenberg, former u.s. attorney and senior fbi official, and malcolm nance, counter intelligence analyst. what did you make of the struggle, the struggle for william barr to answer that question? >> utterly stunning but also not unexpected. look, this man tows the party line. his job is to cover for the president. there's one thing that i learned in all my time when i was at the national security agency and listening to people talk. the first thing that comes out of their mouth is the truth. the second time when he said absolutely not was the lie. he really does not have a problem with this. he is working in the interest of donald trump. and i'm sure when they sit down and couch these conversations they have, they try to find justifications like it's not actual foreign assistance if the russians give it to an american and an american uses it. this is where donald trump is going to try to finesse all of the assistance he's calling for, whether it's saudis, north koreans, which is a real threat that we need t

i am chuck todd. here's what we're following right now. the white house is set to have its own press briefing in the next hour as western security officials warn that russian cyberactors are now attacking organizations involved in coronavirus vaccine development. whether that is to stop a vaccine or steal a vaccine is unclear. we'll have more on that in a moment. >>> we're also anticipating president trump's reaction to high-profile criticism from his own party about his handling of the pandemic. larry hogan upped the criticism a bit and said trump made mistakes by not listening to the experts and

chuck? >> and, monica, you were one of the first to break the news that the rnc basically it seems like facing reality of the situation in jacksonville. what more can you tell us about the convention? >> reporter: four months into the pandemic, now you finally have republicans officials it seems coming to terms with reality, particularly on the ground in florida saying we will probably -- can't have 15,000 people in an arena for the president's renomination speech which is all the fan fare he envisioned and why he took the convention away from charlotte, north carolina, to move it to florida thinking that social distancing and mask guidelines would be more relaxed and now saying they think they have to move a lot of the event outdoors if not all of it and considering other areas, other arenas. they have outdoor amphitheaters and places to move people but it's unknown how many -- the governor of florida is going to allow to gather. there's currently an executive order that caps arenas at 50%

>> no, chuck. what we're going to see is the many states across the west coast and the south, they are suffering from increased cases, the likes of which we have never seen but concerningly hospitalization rates are going up. icu staffing is bottleneck. not just the beds but the staffing, chuck. one of the big issues i'm hearing from colleagues in arizona and texas is, they don't have the dialysis machine. they don't have the nurses that they need. you need an additional dialysis in addition to an icu nurse to save a patient's life with covid-19 who is on a ventilatov. they don't have the capability. we'll see deaths continue to rise and hospitalizations continue to parallel that death increase. >> i also want to play something for you from the person in charge of the testing czar. his assistant secretary for health. he was talking about the issue of what he called unnecessary testing. take a listen to what he said. >> when i talk about unnecessary testing, we know there's a lot of people who are b

hi, chuck, as always thanks for joining us this morning. we wish we could talk to you about the life and legacy of john lewis, but we just want to stick to some topics important in terms of coronavirus right now. arguably you could say it seems more widely expected to be affecting us right now. it was a conservative state versus liberal state and now is impacting the south which was reluctant to make masks mandatory and things like that. do you think this new geographical change from the virus will affect the decisions of the republican majority on the next round of govnm at all? >> i think it's a well reasoned premise that you came up with there. i think you're seeing some evidence of it. for instance overnight there was this report coming out of "the washington post" that the white house negotiators on the next round of relief zeroed out the senate republican idea, these are senate republicans, who wanted to increase funding for testing, increase funding for nih, increase funding for the cdc. and the white house was somehow saying, no, th

>> and chuck, the results she got do make sense on one basis. the more hot spots you have the more cases you have in the area, the more likely you are to have people who are touching surfaces with contaminated hands. and it's especially if they're not doing those techniques we know that work including hands itself. making sure those areas are clean, especially in hot spots, extremely important, chuck. >> i have to say i don't know why we have any open bread bins at this point. that seems like a bad idea completely considering that was one of the places with the virus. let me ask you this on the testing issue. there's been a report earlier today that we actually are at the point because we can't get testing results back in time we've actually overloaded -- we've flooded the ability to get results back and now we might have to cut back on testing for testing to be effective, which means -- which means what? it makes it harder for sports to come back, harder for us to go back to 30 rock, harder for kids to go back to school. is that the case? >> it
