>> THAT IS THE LAST HOUR.
THE 11th HOUR WITH BRIAN
WILLIAMS STARTS NOW.
>> GOOD EVENING ONCE AGAIN.
DAY 1287 OF THIS TRUMP
ADMINISTRATION LEAVING 9 SEVEN
DAYS UNTIL THE PRESIDENTIAL
ELECTION.
THE PRESIDENT WAS IN TEXAS
CAMPAIGNING BEFORE A LARGELY
UNMASKED CROWD IN THE MIDST OF A
TERRIBLE SPIKE IN ILLNESS TRYING
TO PROJECT STRENGTH AS THE VIRUS
RAVAGES THAT STATE.
THERE WAS A NEW SINGLE DAY DEATH
TOLL OF 313.
TRUMP DIDN’T MENTION THAT OR THE
THOUSANDS OF TEXANS NOW INFECTED
WITH THE VIRUS.
HERE IS SOME OF WHAT HE DID SAY.
>> IT IS NOT JUST TEXAS OIL THAT
THE DEMOCRATS WANT TO DESTROY.
THEY WANT TO DESTROY OUR
COUNTRY.
IT IS SICK.
95% OF OUR PEOPLE LOVE OUR
COUNTRY AND OUR ANTHEM AND OUR
FLAG.
THEY DON’T LOVE OUR COUNTRY IN
ANY WAY, SHAPE OR FORM.
>> THERE ARE NOW OVER 4.4
MILLION CASES IN OUR COUNTRY AND
OUR NATIONAL DEATH TOLL HAS
CLIMBED PAST 151,000.
THE FIRST DEATH WAS FIVE MONTHS
AGO TODAY.
FIVE MONTHS LATER OVER 151,000
DEAD.
CALIFORNIA AND FLORIDA ALSO
REPORTING RECORD NUMBERS OF FAY
TALTS.
-- FATALITIES.
AND NOW FLORIDA IS FACING A
TROPICAL STORM WARMING UP THE
CENTER OF THE STATE WHICH IS
SHUTTING DOWN TESTING CENTERS
FOR THE NEXT COUPLE DAYS.
A REPORT FROM JOHNS HOPKINS SAYS
THE UNITED STATES IS NOT
CURRENTLY ON COURT TO GET
CONTROL OF THIS EPIDEMIC.
IF THAT DOESN’T GET YOUR
ATTENTION, THIS WILL.
FROM THE ASSOCIATION OF MEDICAL
COLLEGES, QUOTE --
IF THE NATION DOES NOT CHANGE
ITS COURSE AND SOON, DEATHS IN
THE UNITED STATES COULD WELL BE
INTO THE MULTIPLE HUNDREDS OF
THOUSANDS.
>>> TRUMP AGAIN DEFENDS SUPPORT
OF MDA WHO HAS SPOKEN WITH ALIEN
DNA, DEMON SPERM AND SPONTANEOUS
PREGNANCIES.
SHE IS THE ONE TALKING ON THE
VIDEO THAT NO ONE NEEDS MASKS
AND TALKING UP THE DRUG THAT THE
PRESIDENT IS PROMOTING.
>> I WAS IMPRESSED WITH HER.
PHYSICIAN AT THECOLUMBIA.
AND FORMER CHIEF COUNCIL TO THE
HOUSE INTEL COMMITTEE.
SHANNON, NO BRIEFING TODAY
BECAUSE THE PRESIDENT WAS ON THE
ROAD.
NOT A PEEP FROM THE CORONAVIRUS
TASK FORCE.
THEY HAVE BEEN INVISIBLE AS A
GROUP OF LATE.
NO MENTION OF THE PRESIDENT OF
THE STAGGERING DEATH TOLL.
BASED ON YOUR REPORTING, IS THIS
JUST THE WAY IT’S GOING TO BE?
>> INSIDE THE WHITE HOUSE, THE
ADMINISTRATION, THERE IS A BIG
PUSH TO TRY AND GET MESSAGING
OUT SPECIFICALLY TO THE STATES
THEY SEE EXPERIENCING A SURGE OR
ON THE CUSP OF EXPERIENCING A
SURGE.
THERE ARE ABOUT A DOZEN STATES
THEY ARE WATCHING CLOSELY THEY
FEEL ARE AT RISK OF BEING THE
NEXT FLORIDA OR CALIFORNIA OR
TEXAS.
THERE IS A PUSH TO GET MESSAGES
TO THE GOVERNORS, THE MAYORS AND
PUBLIC OF THOSE STATES TO FOLLOW
THE BASIC PRINCIPLES THAT
DOCTORS HAVE BEEN TRYING TO GET
PEOPLE TO FOLLOW FOR MONTHS,
MASK WEARING, AVOID BIG CROWDS,
DON’T GO TO BARS.
WITHIN THE WHITE HOUSE THAT IS
ACKNOWLEDGED AS THE WAY TO GET
OUT OF THIS CRISIS THAT WE ARE
IN.
THERE IS DR. BIRX WHO HAS BEEN
PUSHING MAYORS AND GOVERNORS TO
SAY MASKS ARE THE BEST WAY TO
GET THIS UNDER CONTROL TO THE
POINT WHERE WE CAN HAVE SCHOOLS
AND SPORTS AND EAT INDOORS
AGAIN.
THAT IS WHAT IS HAPPENING BEHIND
THE WHITE HOUSE.
THE WHITE HOUSE IS PUSHING
DOCTORS OUT TO DO LOCAL,
TARGETED INTERVIEWS.
WHILE THE ADMINISTRATION AND
TASK FORCE ARE FOCUSED ON
GOVERNING, PRESIDENT TRUMP IS
FOCUSED ON THE CULTURE WAR
ISSUES, NOT GOVERNING ISSUES.
AND THIS WAS EXPLAINED BY
SOMEBODY WHO WAS A CLOSE
ADVISER. WHEN YOU SEE THINGS TWEETED OUT
WHEN YOU SEE THINGS TWEETED OUT BY THE DOCTOR WHO BELIEVES IN
BY THE DOCTOR WHO BELIEVES IN
ALIEN DNA AND DEMON.
CULTURE WAR ABOUT MASK AND
REOPENING THE PUBLIC.
AND TRYING TO SHIFT THE ISSUES
TO CRIME AND ANARCHY, TRYING TO
CONTINUE TO BRING UP THE IDEA
THAT SUBURBS WILL BE DESTROYED
BY PEOPLE LIVING IN LOW-INCOME
HOUSING.
OTHER PEOPLE ARE TRYING TO
GOVERN TO GET THIS VIRUS UNDER
