RUSH TRANSCRIPT Infectious for ░░░░░░░░ days not 10 days ░░░░░░░░ s bring in CNN ░░░░░░░░ commentator Alice Stewart and ░░░░░░░░ communications director for Ted ░░░░░░░░ Democratic strategist and let ░░░░░░░░ not forget the podcast ░░░░░░░░ mics from left to ░░░░░░░░ Ladies welcome back Dr ░░░░░░░░ says that the last ░░░░░░░░ gathering at the White ░░░░░░░░ was a superspreader event ░░░░░░░░ that was just a ░░░░░░░░ hundred people max Why ░░░░░░░░ it make sense to ░░░░░░░░ 2 000 people to ░░░░░░░░ White House today Victor ░░░░░░░░ makes zero sense to ░░░░░░░░ such a thing And ░░░░░░░░ would say repeatedly Covid ░░░░░░░░ not a political issue ░░░░░░░░ is a public health ░░░░░░░░ And that needs to ░░░░░░░░ in the forefront of ░░░░░░░░ s mind I understand ░░░░░░░░ the president wants to ░░░░░░░░ out there and rally ░░░░░░░░ people but to be ░░░░░░░░ honest the people that ░░░░░░░░ going to risk their ░░░░░░░░ and go to the ░░░░░░░░ House and see a ░░░░░░░░ today are going to ░░░░░░░░ for this president And ░░░░░░░░ is all about the ░░░░░░░░ He needs to broaden ░░░░░░░░ audience broaden his base ░░░░░░░░ people understand we are ░░░░░░░░ Covid times He can ░░░░░░░░ the message out virtually ░░░░░░░░ can get the message ░░░░░░░░ through Tweets he can ░░░░░░░░ the message out on ░░░░░░░░ debate stage But there ░░░░░░░░ many other ways to ░░░░░░░░ about getting his message ░░░░░░░░ and specifically with us ░░░░░░░░ uncertain about his current ░░░░░░░░ with Covid the best ░░░░░░░░ to do is the ░░░░░░░░ thing to do and ░░░░░░░░ bring together large groups ░░░░░░░░ people and get your ░░░░░░░░ edge out there virtually ░░░░░░░░ understand So let me ░░░░░░░░ back to you this ░░░░░░░░ what my therapist does ░░░░░░░░ me I want to ░░░░░░░░ back to you what ░░░░░░░░ hear you saying Are ░░░░░░░░ saying that the president ░░░░░░░░ using these people and ░░░░░░░░ their health and potentially ░░░░░░░░ lives for his own ░░░░░░░░ goals As your patient ░░░░░░░░ that s not exactly ░░░░░░░░ I m saying But ░░░░░░░░ I am saying is ░░░░░░░░ he is not taking ░░░░░░░░ account the fact that ░░░░░░░░ is potentially putting a ░░░░░░░░ of people at risk ░░░░░░░░ it is imperative for ░░░░░░░░ to not just talk ░░░░░░░░ talk but walk the ░░░░░░░░ with regard to public ░░░░░░░░ on Covid And I ░░░░░░░░ understand him wanting to ░░░░░░░░ with these people but ░░░░░░░░ s just better to ░░░░░░░░ safe than sorry when ░░░░░░░░ comes to this and ░░░░░░░░ something virtually I feel ░░░░░░░░ be just as compelling ░░░░░░░░ Of course what my ░░░░░░░░ is saying is that ░░░░░░░░ is absolutely using his ░░░░░░░░ absolutely putting them in ░░░░░░░░ s way absolutely creating ░░░░░░░░ possibility that they could ░░░░░░░░ Covid 19 and die ░░░░░░░░ this is exactly why ░░░░░░░░ this person is not ░░░░░░░░ for office He doesn ░░░░░░░░ care about any of ░░░░░░░░ He should absolutely listen ░░░░░░░░ he won t He ░░░░░░░░ not listening to any ░░░░░░░░ the experts He s ░░░░░░░░ listening to any of ░░░░░░░░ doctors And what he ░░░░░░░░ doing is continuing to ░░░░░░░░ Covid 19 to the ░░░░░░░░ frankly that he should ░░░░░░░░ about the most because ░░░░░░░░ it wasn t for ░░░░░░░░ he wouldn t be ░░░░░░░░ he is right now ░░░░░░░░ it underscores how selfish ░░░░░░░░ is it underscores how ░░░░░░░░ is everything to him ░░░░░░░░ before the well being ░░░░░░░░ the American people and ░░░░░░░░ of his own supporters ░░░░░░░░ let me stay with ░░░░░░░░ The second presidential debate ░░░░░░░░ now been canceled officially ░░░░░░░░ Trump declined to debate ░░░░░░░░ It s the first ░░░░░░░░ a televised presidential debate ░░░░░░░░ been canceled since they ░░░░░░░░ decades ago And a ░░░░░░░░ that former vice President ░░░░░░░░ Biden didn t answer ░░░░░░░░ the first one senator ░░░░░░░░ Harris did not answer ░░░░░░░░ the vp debate is ░░░░░░░░ President Biden would nominate ░░░░░░░░ justices to the Supreme ░░░░░░░░ He now says you ░░░░░░░░ get the answer to ░░░░░░░░ after the election Don ░░░░░░░░ voters deserve to know ░░░░░░░░ answer to that before ░░░░░░░░ vote I think voters ░░░░░░░░ more concerned about what ░░░░░░░░ current president is going ░░░░░░░░ do about Covid 19 ░░░░░░░░ he s done nothing ░░░░░░░░ Let me talk about ░░░░░░░░ courts for a sec ░░░░░░░░ think the better question ░░░░░░░░ is why is this ░░░░░░░░ president and Senate trying ░░░░░░░░ pack the court right ░░░░░░░░ when the majority of ░░░░░░░░ American people believe that ░░░░░░░░ next president should be ░░░░░░░░ one to choose the ░░░░░░░░ Supreme Court justice Understood ░░░░░░░░ I like the question ░░░░░░░░ asked Maria So don ░░░░░░░░ voters deserve to know ░░░░░░░░ answer to that before ░░░░░░░░ go to the polls ░░░░░░░░ think voters care more ░░░░░░░░ what their president is ░░░░░░░░ going to do about ░░░░░░░░ global pandemic that has ░░░░░░░░ more than 213 000 ░░░░░░░░ Personally Victor I do ░░░░░░░░ that expanding the Supreme ░░░░░░░░ should be on the ░░░░░░░░ But Joe Biden and ░░░░░░░░ Harris right now as ░░░░░░░░ should be are focused ░░░░░░░░ what the pain and ░░░░░░░░ relief that the American ░░░░░░░░ want and deserve right ░░░░░░░░ that the current president ░░░░░░░░ absolutely turning his back ░░░░░░░░ And frankly the majority ░░░░░░░░ the American people don ░░░░░░░░ want him to choose ░░░░░░░░ Supreme Court justice right ░░░░░░░░ Alice let me come ░░░░░░░░ you I want to ░░░░░░░░ this sound bite and ░░░░░░░░ m coming right to ░░░░░░░░ after this Because this ░░░░░░░░ Joe Biden a year ░░░░░░░░ when he was asked ░░░░░░░░ very question I would ░░░░░░░░ get in a court ░░░░░░░░ We have three justices ░░░░░░░░ time around we lose ░░░░░░░░ they have three justices ░░░░░░░░ begin to lose any ░░░░░░░░ the court has at ░░░░░░░░ He answered it a ░░░░░░░░ ago Alice Well if ░░░░░░░░ was his answer then ░░░░░░░░ it should be pretty ░░░░░░░░ for him to answer ░░░░░░░░ the same way right ░░░░░░░░ For whatever reason he ░░░░░░░░ not doing so and ░░░░░░░░ did my friend Maria ░░░░░░░░ This is an important ░░░░░░░░ This is not just ░░░░░░░░ the courts This is ░░░░░░░░ the courts and adding ░░░░░░░░ to satisfy their far ░░░░░░░░ agenda And what is ░░░░░░░░ on right now Maria ░░░░░░░░ to it as packing ░░░░░░░░ courts What they re ░░░░░░░░ with judge Amy Coney ░░░░░░░░ that is filling the ░░░░░░░░ which is the constitutional ░░░░░░░░ of this president Joe ░░░░░░░░ and Kamala Harris need ░░░░░░░░ answer this question honestly ░░░░░░░░ often in order to ░░░░░░░░ a lot of concerns ░░░░░░░░ the American people have ░░░░░░░░ the fact they re ░░░░░░░░ answering that question is ░░░░░░░░ telling and American people ░░░░░░░░ know that Alice I ░░░░░░░░ I had a Garland ░░░░░░░░ up every time someone ░░░░░░░░ that argument that they ░░░░░░░░ an obligation to fill ░░░░░░░░ seat There were more ░░░░░░░░ 260 days between the ░░░░░░░░ of Scalia and the ░░░░░░░░ election and Mitch McConnell ░░░░░░░░ that seat open I ░░░░░░░░ t have the pop ░░░░░░░░ so I ll just ░░░░░░░░ the point I ve ░░░░░░░░ to wrap here Victor ░░░░░░░░ s let the American ░░░░░░░░ decide who the president ░░░░░░░░ be and then let ░░░░░░░░ person choose the Supreme ░░░░░░░░ justice.
>> Thank you both.
