mcenany: we will try again. in aggregate what he is pointing out is this rush to judgment to immediately say there is a hate crime as happened in this case, as happened with jussie smollett, as happened with the covington catholic boys. in aggregate, those actions made it seem like nascar men and women were racist individuals who were roping around and engaging in a hate crime. the president's intent was to say no. most american people are good, hard-working people. we should not have this rush to judgment, knee-jerk reaction before the facts come out. the fbi did their job and determined there was no hate crime. >> hold on. hold on. a follow-up question. why should mr. wallace have to apologize for that when his whole team and all the colleagues came around him to show support? ms. mcenany: that is the best of america, coming around when the media says it is a hate crime. it shows how loving nascar fans are, and the fellow drivers. i think it is important that we point out the fact that there was no hate crime.

mcenany: hello, everyone. good afternoon. today, president trump welcomed to the white house president lopez of mexico. the meeting reaffirmed the incredibly strong ties between and presidentdor trump. the leaders noted that many have that it against their ability to work together in a strong and productive fashion. they work together and they work together well. u.s.-mexico relationship has never been stronger or more productive thanks to the leadership of president trump. the usmca in particular is a major win for our two countries and for america's workers. under the u.s. mexico canada agreement, more than 4 million manufacturing jobs will be regained that were lost under nafta. this will be a huge influx of american jobs that were lost under the failed nafta trade deal that went into effect. in addition, tens of thousands of manufacturing plants were lost because of nafta. we want to bring those on shore. and the usmca will go a long way and bringing back those manufacturing plants and those millions of jobs that were los

>> secretary mcenany: there has been no change. the president set on march 31st before there was even a recommended but not required guidance given by the cdc on mask wearing, the president already said, "if you want to wear a mask, wear a mask. it doesn't harm anyone." that's when the scientists were, some of them, saying not to wear masks. the president has been consistent on this. he wore a mask at the ford facility, he carries it around in his pocket. he showed you multiple times. he hasn't changed. just speaking on covid generally, the way i've heard them talk privately in the oval office is the way he is talking out here. the only thing that changed is the president taking dozens and dozens and dozens of your questions each and every day because he felt the best way to get information to the american people is for him to be out here answering your questions and providing this directly. >> reporter: the other part of the question wasn't just about masking, although i would argue if you look back and see when he called it polit

>> press secretary mcenany: first, let me note something. the texans are under audit and he said he would release them when no longer under audit. the justice did not rule against him. in fact, it was a unanimous opinion saying that this needs to go back to the district court. they even recognize the president had an ample arsenal of arguments that he can make. in fact, i would show the vast majority made laid out a road map. the vast majority said the president has a right to challenge the pin on any grounds by state law, be bad faith or undue burden or threat. they went on to say the president can raise subpoena specific constitutional challenges and specifically mentioned a violation of the primacy clause has one thing he can raise. today they essentially laid out a road map. >> reporter: okay, fine i i don't dispute anything you just said. the president whatever the course, the president can release his taxes whenever he likes. so why shouldn't americans at this point believe that the president isn't trying to hide something? >> press se

>> secretary mcenany: there's a lot. i am very glad you asked about, because it is worth highlighting come of the work that we are doing each and every day. for one, we are surging personnel to arizona, texas, california. we already have people working in florida, surging remdesivir to states that are seeing rising case numbers. we are also surging testing supplies to decrease turnaround time. these are several action items that dr. birx briefed me on before coming out here. the white house will be going to several states this week. dr. birx, we have sent 1988 just seems to metroplexes, eight more coming this week. we are aggressively on the ground reacting to this virus. we are encouraged to see the declining mortality compared to a few months ago. >> i haven't seen you in a few weeks, glad you're back. >> reporter: why is the white house white house trashing dr. fauci and sending out opposition research like memos to reporters? the president has gone off on the sources in the past. why not have the guts to trash dr. fa

>> secretary mcenany: yes, that is the plan. i am not entirely sure who else will be in that briefing. >> does that president generally have confidence in the intelligence community? >> secretary mcenany: yes, he does have that confidence and many times has acted on verified intelligence. there are times that he has decided that it is in our strategic interest not to act. example of soleimani. when iran engaged in actions in the president said it is not time to engage because it is shooting down an entity is not the same as losing loss of civilian lives. >> thank you. >> the president has come under criticism -- [indistinct] those include comments like "our heritage" while talking about confederate statues. the video of using the term "white power." why has the president not to announce that video? >> secretary mcenany: the president has taken on that video. the president has repeatedly condemned hate. "and one voice, one nation, we must condemn bigotry and white supremacy. hate has no place in america." "we have no tolerance fo

mcenany: regulatory class savings. it is important to note that this deregulation lowers the cost for every american. the cost of these burdensome regulations will fall disproportionately and benefit disproportionately lower income americans. so this president took action to pull back the burden from regulations that harm low income communities and make sure that the lower income americans are taken care of. for example, the presidents' day regulatory agenda will improve income by $3,100 annually. thanks to president trump's rolling back of the obama-biden era, families will have access. it will also save patients nearly 10% on prescription drug costs. these real wins for the american people will disappear with the reregulation agenda, which is why president trump will continue to pursue his historic deregulation activity. on another note, we saw encouraging news yesterday on vaccines. moderna's vaccine candidate issuing promising signs. it produced up positive or neutral immune among the 45 participants in the study.

>> secretary mcenany: that's a great question. let me point out that there are two models here, harris. first you have the cooperative model, what we are seeing in kansas city, where the doj announced operation legend. that was named after a 4-year-old boy who lost his life, he was shot while sleeping in his sleep. the governor there was cooperative and said, "i need the help of federal authorities." the doj has been there to help and assist. the doj, the fbi, and other entities. that's the cooperative model. we seen in portland is a governor unwilling to admit he has lost control of his city. saying that he does need the help of federal law enforcement. you have these writers trying to burn alike. in this case you have dhs go into protect federal property. it's a different model, but the cooperative one is the preferable one. it is about truly putting politics aside and helping the residents, which is what this is about. >> harris: all right, we'll move onto this. all of this is salient and right on time, like i said, meeting wit

when kayleigh mcenany was asked a question, and she flat out denied. she says the white house was simply responding to a pro's about president trump statement that dr. anthony found she was a mistake and this is where this all came from. >> you have dr. fauci, who so that the record of this president is impressive. i can't imagine under any circumstance, anyone would be doing anything more. providing a direct response to direct questions, and that's

mcenany: he said he was not making a judgment one way or the other. the intent of the tweet was to stand up for the men and women of nascar and the fans and those who have gone in this rush to judgment of the media to call something a hate crime when in fact the fbi concluded this was not an intentional recess act, and it very much mirrors other times when there has been a rush to judgment, let say with the covington bullies or jussie smollett. jonathan: let's drill down on the confederate flag. does he say it was a mistake for nascar to ban it? sec. mcenany: you are focusing on one word at the very bottom of a tweet that is taken out of context and neglecting to complete rush to judgment -- jonathan: he said ratings are down because they banned the flag. that is what he said. sec. mcenany: the president was noting in aggregate, the men and women who are being demand, called racist, and being accused, and some venues, of committing a hate crime against the individual, those allegations were just dead wrong. host: so, jonathan karl, what is going on th

so, abby, kayleigh mcenany, the white house press secretary, had to try to explain president trump's continuing support of the confederate flag. i mean, he sent out that tweet where he criticized bubba wallace, he criticized nascar because they had banned the confederate flag. and kayleigh mcenany said something to the effect of, well, the president is not making a judgment call about the flag. yes, he is! i mean, that's exactly what he was doing. you know, the president, who cares so much about ratings, was criticizing nascar because they banned the confederate flag. >> yeah. i mean, i think any honest reading of the president's tweet would bring you to that conclusion. why else would the president weigh in, referencing the flag, with the "f," by the way, capitalized, referring to the confederate battle flag? he was saying that nascar's ratings were falling because they made a decision to do that. this is not a new subject for president trump, as we all know. i mean, he has for many years, since he's been president, defended confederate symbols going all the way back to the charlott

what you had today was kayleigh mcenany saying how can you argue the president and dr. fauci are at odds. it's quite easy, we have data points. dr. fauci hasn't briefed president trump in more than two months, and the two men haven't been face-to-face since early june, which is significant. and now, kayleigh mcenany is also having to answer questions about another tweet the president elevated this morning with incorrect information arguing that the cdc and some medical experts and doctors even are lying about the coronavirus pandemic. take a listen to how she defended that message being amplified from the president's twitter account in the briefing just now. >> the president with his intent in that retweet expressed his displeasure with the cdc, some rogue individuals leaking guidelines prematurely. you had a 63-page plan that was leaked prematurely. he believes that misleads the american public when there are planning materials released that are not in their fullest form, their best form. that's what he was getting at. overall, the notion of the tweet was to point out

kayleigh mcenany's presser has ended. the back-and-forth on this comes at a time, for example, on the coronavirus case situation, whether the cdc is on board with some of the numbers the president has been mentioning, a number of top officials here have not squared with that 99% figure that these are generally relatively harmless cases. anyway, jonathan serrie in cdc land, atlanta, with the very very latest. reporter: we are watching multiple hot spots, particularly in the u.s. sun belt. one of those hot spots is arizona, which is reporting an increase in hospitalizations over the past week and in fact, over the weekend, arizona recorded that icu bed capacity had reached 89%. to maintain its progress in controlling the pandemic, new york city is entering its phase three of reopening today without resuming indoor restaurant dining. according to the "new york times" new covid-19 cases increased 89% over the past two weeks but deaths decreased by 19%. part of this could be that younger healthier patients account for a large

kayleigh mcenany said why have i not gotten a single question on the weekend surge in murders in new york and chicago including children. you work for a chicago newspaper. isn't that a fair point? >> i think it's not a fair point. that's not the real story the president would be involved with. the president had a burr under his saddle for chicago crime for a long time. what happened to the expert on chicago crime who was going to solve the whole problem in a week? that's what president trump promised me and other members of the editorial board, repeated it on the campaign trial and has yet to come up with the expert on chicago crime. he loves to grandstand about chicago crime. bubba wallace story is a good news story. president trump has lost the narrative here, going back to how he began his campaign back in mobile, alabama, four years ago. and this is his base. and nascar, the mostly white male and southern oriented constituency of nascar if you will, that's trump's base, feels like he owns it. how dare somebody tell me friends they can't have that flag flying. howard: i was making

kayleigh mcenany made into this a little bit earlier. this is kayleigh mcenany commenting on dr. fauci. >> secretary mcenany: the notion that there's opera rescission research and fauci versus the president couldn't be further from the truth. they've always had a very good working relationship. >> neil: a good working relationship. the president of the united states echoed that in his own form of a few minutes ago. this is the president commenting on dr. fauci. >> president trump: i have had a relationship for a long time right from the beginning. i find him to be a very nice person. i don't always agree with him. >> neil: they are clearly not inviting him to a lot of these big events where he can speak freely. i don't want to wonder if something bad is a photo for dr. fauci, but what do you make all that? >> what i think we are saying here is a guy -- i've known dr. fauci for many, many years since his days at cornell. dr. fauci follows data. we like to look at the statistics. we are looking at the numbers of deaths. we are looking at the increased testing in greater numbers of

. >> white house press secretary kayleigh mcenany holds a news briefing this afternoon at 1:00 p.m. eastern. watch it live on c-span. after that, congressional black caucus chair congresswoman karen bass talks about police reform efforts posted by the national press club. our coverage starts at 2:00 eastern. news conference this morning, house speaker nancy pelosi talked about the need for an additional coronavirus aid package. the house returns next week for legislative work. rep. pelosi: good morning. how are you all? yesterday, with two months since we passed the heroes act, as some of you are aware who were with us when we observed that. calling upon the president to activate the defense production act so that we can get the equipment we need. the president has made so many bad executive decisions. we wish he would make a good executive decision and do that. behavior, i have theluded that he is like man who refuses to ask for directions. all of the answers are giving. -- are there. the scientists have the answers. we know that testing, tracing, treating, distancing, masking, san

mcenany says the deletion is a strong move. no, it was to cover his ass for putting something out there that shows what he wants to cultivate in this country, as a demagogue. how do you deal with that? >> well, i think the way we deal with it, chris, is by dismantling all of that -- that lack of logic. dismantling all of the ignorance. and that's why i started with, let me just teach like y'all don't know because, clearly, you don't, right? if you can still make an argument about why army bases should be named after confederate soldiers, which he's doing, because you think it appeals to a base, shame on you. leadership should tell you that sometimes you have to educate ignorance out of people. i hope that this is out of ignorance, and not malintent. i'm not confident that, that is what it is, but i'm choosing to engage in that this way, chris, because if i don't, i come on here shaking. and when i'm done with the segment, i cry. like, i can't imagine a world where, in 2020, my godson, you know, just turned 10. my best friend is

sanjay, i want you to listen to what white house press secretary kayleigh mcenany had to say about schools going to online learning and that some risk of covid-19 for children is low and that being back in school can damage their development. >> the president has said unmistakably, he wants school to open, meaning open and full, each and every day in their schools. science did not stand in the way of it. science is on our side here. we encourage localities and states to simply follow the science, open our schools. >> where is the science on this? because i know some of the studies, one of the jamma studies that she referred to, what's your reaction as a physician and parent of three children? >> well, first of all, i don't think you ever want to say the science should not stand in the way of this. i don't know exactly what will she was referring to that or if she was misspeaking. that sounds like an alternate fact thing there. >> sanjay, i think she was trying to say the science shouldn't stand in the way because the science is on our side. i don't know that all of the science is on their

you mention to kayleigh mcenany how she concluded that briefing yesterday. fielding all those questions on bubba wallace and other areas of discussion that were hit as well. but here's her criticism over what she was not asked in that briefing room. listen. >> i was asked to probably 12 questions, and they are focused on that rather than a big event happening in america, and of course they were going to pick it something that would hurt the president. and that will advance the cause and could have advanced his cause on monday by instead of tweeting about bubba wallace, instead tweeting about the names of these a young black girls and boys who were killed in acts of needless violence and that's a much better point. that's what america is concerned about. they are not concerned about bubba wallace or the confederate flag but many americans are deeply concerned about what they are seeing. as a president laid out the predicate on saturday, he could have followed up on monday by drawing attention to it and he could advance his cause in the election year by paying
