carol's right. there are a ton of small businesses that are shut down, never coming back, or just hurting in general but then there is other ones that i talked to are selling stuff online more than they ever have. they are reinventing sales tax ticks now. they're doing fine. the problem is, a lot of those businesses that are small, that are still open are probably not going to pick up, say all workers and maybe revenue that has been shunned or lost by the other half of small businesses that were shut down. reality that is what happens in recessions. that is what happens when capital gets destroyed with things like this. this is not a garden-variety recession. probablier one than we've ever seen. david: we could go on. up unfortunately we have to take a quick break. scott, adam, carol, lance, stay with us. we'll be right back. i wanted more from my copd medicine, that's why i've got the power of 1,2,3 medicines with trelegy. the only fda-approved, once-daily 3 in 1 copd treatment. ♪ with trelegy an

in carol and mcmillan get out of the car and carol opens up and shows his id and says police officers, can we have a word. he doesn't speak much english. a very recent immigrant from america. he also has a very bad stutter. he's inclined to never talk at all. thirdly, one of his friends several months before had been robbed by a series of people by a group of people posing as a police officer. he is terrified by these guys. he's on a dark street sitting there taking the night air in front of his house for big guys, way bigger than him with big puffed out chest, white guy in the middle of the south bronx. speak in a language he may or may not completely understand. he standing in a small festival he sees these guys and turns around and goes back to go back into his house turns around put his hand on the door. carol and mcmullen who were standing there say, show us your hands.put your hands up. we don't know if he even understands what that means at this point but he turned his body away from them ever reaching for the door and seems to be doing something with his right hand. this start

with that i'm joined by nbc's carol lee at the white house for us. carol, it's great to see you. we have new reporting overnight from you, monica alba, peter alexander and myself. the president heading to florida but also has this big rally planned for tomorrow in new hampshire. there is broad agreement they cannot repeat the mistakes made in tulsa. take us inside this course correction in the campaign, carol. >> reporter: essentially what we're going to see tomorrow is the beginning of different events, different look for the president's rallies than we've seen from him really since he started running for office. there are several notable ways in which this rally in new hampshire will look and feel a little bit different. there's a strong recommendation that people who attend wear masks. that's different from tulsa. they are also holding this in an open air facility. it's an airline hangar. that means there's more movement in there as opposed to holding it inside as the president has done previously. that was such an issue with the tulsa rally. they're not setting high expectati

just getting hammered and no understanding of that. >> carol lee, i think i have carol lee back wus and joshua johnson is with us in nbc news carol, you know, it's funny watching sort of facts than we heard him deliver before somehow making the case for masks. he is also trying to rewrite history a little bit here. he's saying i have no problem with masks just this weekend he said people should have freedom with masks he never fought social distanci distancing rierms. he thought governors were being too stringent. that's why he moved his rally. what was point is this to prove he can have briefing without causing alarm >> i think that is the point the point is for him to get out in front of the public and deliver the scripted message that the white house wanted him to deliver and he largely did that he held it to under 30 minutes which is pretty remarkable for trump. a lot of what he heard in his opener sounded very familiar in terms of things we heard him say in march and april going through the laundry list of things his administration has tone in terms of a response to coronavirus soc

carol, i am speechless. it takes a lot to get me speechless but they are basically telling students of color of that, i guess, they cannot grasp a language without the language itself is somehow racist? >> laura, it is even worse than that because it is black lives matter and black people who claim to be activists who are really pushing the lower standards for black students. if you think about critical race theory, the assumption is that if you are white, privileged and racism it is permanent and the whites have to do best at themselves in whiteness but behind all of that is white superiority that black people are pushing and so what they are saying is that black people can't learn the same way as other groups so they have to have this special treatment and when i went to college, i started in the '70s, grade school in the 1980s, we were given an equal opportunity. we were admitted to colleges and universities, and we had to do the work. and you had to qualify. you got an opportunity to be there, but once y

carol, back to your story. how on earth are you going to choose between nearly 1000 people, many of them talented and experienced, for onejob? them talented and experienced, for one job? it is very difficult. we normally at this stage would have a shortlist of three or four people we have looked —— we would look to interview face—to—face. we have chosen 11, and all on paper are exactly what we are looking for, and we are sure one of them will shine through and get the job. what would be your advice to all those mancunians, the other 900 or so who are not on that shortlist of 11? not to give up hope. i think, as james said, there are morejobs coming on the market and hopefully things will pick up soon, so there will be more opportunities, and not to give up hope. james, just in terms of further advice to people, you say to look at re—purpose and your skills in other areas. are you basically saying people in hospitality should expect that the market there is going to be difficult for as long as a social

nbc's carol lee, thank you. stay close. i'm going to talk with you in just a little bit. >>> let's talk about the stimulus, senate republicans releasing their version, which includes slashing the $600-a-week unemployment bonus to $200 a week. they want to provide a 70% wage replacement. the gop plan known as the heels act has been set up within their own party as well as the democrats who are wanting to keep the $600 asover talks are beginning. other aspects includes money for schools, another round of $1,200 stimulus checks, liability protections for businesses, and a payment protection program. it also includes the white house's request for $1.7 billion set aside for a new fbi building in washington, d.c. in a stunning moment yesterday, senate majority leader mitch mcconnell who unveiled the bill himself appeared unaware of the provision when asked by our own nbc's leanne caldwell. watch this. >> why is funding for a new fbi building in this bill? >> i'm not sure it is. well, we obviously had to have an agreement with the

carol ann, i want to start with first the virus. the president yesterday by saying where they're coming up with a national strategy, by omanages that a lot of people saying, oh, are they acknowledging they don't have one? are they acknowledging they don't have one? is this a case where we're taking the president's words too literally now? >> reporter: well, i think the wow is trying to kind of explain what the president meant when he said they were developing a big powerful strategy. kellyanne conway spoke to reporters here earlier today, and said they essential do have a strategy. the president was talking about vaccines, therapeutics, getting those things moved along. when pressed, to say frankly the president wasn't speaking narrowly about that. she said also, you know, it's nursing homes, making sure they have what they need, protecting the most vulnerable. so still a lot of questions, not entirely clear on what the president meant, but i would expect when he comes out to speak in roughly a half hour from now, he will argue this

joining me now from the white house is nbc carol lee, garrett is on capitol hill and with us is robert costa, washington post national political reporter and an msnbc political analyst carol, i want to pose that question to you. these restarting of the coronavirus task force briefings, is this a change in strategy, a change in messaging or are they just reamplifying the message that the president has been on now for months which is that this virus is not that big of a deal? >> it's the question of the day. it remains to be seen. if you talk to the president's aide, they have a very specific shift in strategy that they would like him to embrace, which is being out there more publicly one senior administration official telling us he was leading quietly but he needs to lead publicly. they want him focus on supplies getting done he's talking to this governor about whatever issue governor x is having and look like he's commanding and in charge of a response that is what they want him to do what he actually winds up saying could be a completely different story. we have seen the president, he

carol, you heard dr. birx say you've got multiple new york events that are playing out right now in these various states. we put some of these numbers up there. you heard the general encouragement to wear masks, the general encouragement for best practices there. but are there any specific steps, any specific policy steps that the administration is taking now or talking about taking in response to the situation that she describes? >> well, look, one of the things that they haven't fully addressed but that they are talking about, and as you mentioned there isn't a plan out there, is this issue of testing which has been the issue, frankly, from the beginning, but now they're in a situation where you have people waiting days, if not more than a week, to get test results, and that's according to the experts, including those who work for the president, and it's really creating problems in terms of being able to get a handle on the virus. now, in terms of the president's tone and the shift that we've seen in th

kavita patel and msnbc news white house correspondent carol lee. dr. patel, i read over this weekend, an impulse toward innovation on the part of businesses, hair salon sees the restaurants who have moved their businesses outside somewhat seamlessly in the summertime that's easier in a lot of places, but is it a false sense of security we have about being outside or are we trending in the right direction to try to do as much as we can in open-air settings >> i think it's important to recognize especially in a place like los angeles county where the cases -- they're increasing at such a concerning rate, it can be a false sense of security to just be outside and then not still take the precautions with distance and masks and hand hygiene, so i do think however there's a valid argument to try to consider options for smaller businesses because we simply have a conoundrum ahead of us i would worry but i think what small businesses are asking for is working with public health officials to find a path forward. as americans, the best path forward is to stay sa

thank you for your insight, carol. cities across the country are removing iconic statues to appease the radical left. as we mentioned earlier, the city of columbus removed a statue of chris of her columbus outside city hall for that was a gift from its sister city in genoa italy in 1955. the boston arts committee voted to remove a statue of lincoln and emancipation that was financed entirely by freed slaves. in new york city, the museum of natural history is set to remove a statue of teddy roosevelt, not before my next guest went viral for defending the statue. >> i don't care what letter is next to your name. if you aren't defending this country, you aren't getting my vote! thank god we do have someone with some balls, some chutzpah, in the white house who will stand up and protect our people! they loot our cities, lose our stores, they loot our communities, they loot our histories. >> raymond: joined me now, gavin wax, the president of the new york young republican club. why did you organize this protest when the cit

carol lee, again, at the white house, what is the administration saying about it this morning, carol? >> well, craig, we've seen the white house this morning sharpening its message on this and by doing so, they're digging in on this idea that this entire matter was handled properly. we heard earlier this morning from the president's national security adviser, robert o'brien spoke to us here, and said this was entirely handled appropriately. that the president didn't need to be briefed on that. defending the way this transpir transpired. kellyanne conway saying the same thing and mike pompeo held a news conference where he defended the president and said this was handled appropriately. let's listen to what he had to say. >> we see threats in intelligence reporting to our soldiers stationed all over the world every single day. every single day. and so i can assure you that whatever reporting it is that you're referring to, that we responded in precisely the correct way with respect to making sure that our forces were postured appropriately, that they were aware of the level of the threa

carol lee getting us started at the white house. carol, thank you. katy, earlier today, dr. fauci did a satellite radio interview talking about the school situation. and he seemed to endorse the idea potentially that universities could actually bring people back because you could create sort of -- they could be quarantined. they could get cut off so there's a way maybe on the university level, but it still doesn't solve the back and forth issue that kids below of primary school age, that issue that they're dealing with of going back and forth. but i thought it was interesting. so we're getting a third set of guidance. fauci essentially endorsing the idea of universities if they can close the campuses, actually could bring people back. >> it just shows how this administration, the people working for this administration, are not all on the same page. and when you're talking about primary school, chuck, if the issue is it was too expensive to institute those cdc guidelines, fund the money to the schools. give them the money they need. if you want to restart the economy you have

it's nbc's carol lee at the house. thanks, carol. >>> tomorrow is the last day that many americans will get a $600 boost to their unemployment benefits. that boost goes bust next friday. we are quickly approaching other deadlines for relief provided under the cares act. many republican lawmakers have left town for the weekend. senate majority leader mitch mcconnell says they will unveil the details of a relief bill on monday. nbc's garrett haake joins us now. garrett, what if anything do we know about the republican bill, particularly if there is no agreement, no larger grand plan, in the next week? >> well, joshua, about the one piece of the republican bill that's been solid from the beginning and seems to remain so now is that it will include a liability shield, essentially preventing businesses from being sued by their employees who might be coming back to work, and then get sick with the virus. so many of the other details remain up in the air. we know, for example, they want to include about $100 billion for schoo

a little bit of a shift there, katy. >> carol lee, thank you so much. and chuck, they're all over the map on this. it was just sunday that the president said that there are only cases in this country because we're doing testing. so very confusing. obviously, not sending out a coherent message on that, even though he might have stayed on script last night. >> that's right. i mean, i do think that he is in some ways benefitting from a bar that is so low, i don't think it's ever been lifted off the ground. so i do think that that is something that we have to get -- at the end of the day, okay, he went out there. it was a political event. we knew what he was up to, trying to prove he is on top of this. well, today is really going to be -- this is when he has to fill in the gaps. okay, you came out yesterday and said you want to get your arms around this. let's see if you have some details. let's see if you have a testing strategy, but ultimately, our testing strategy is the big failure. >>> right now, we're tracking the race on capitol hill at getting new c

carol, i'm just curious, is there a change in strategy here? because it sounds like the same things he's been saying throughout this pandemic, that it's not his fault, and that the media is not covering the good news of it >> that's a great question, because while the president is maybe delivering the message differently, in that he'll start attending and holding these brief coronavirus briefings in the white house briefing room here, the message is very similar. like you said, you hear the president just broadly speaking, really trying to deflect blame for any responsibility in terms of how the handling of the pandemic is going. we have seen him basically complain that he's not getting enough credit for his response, and there is a shift in strategy in the sense that his aides want him out there talking about what he's doing to handle the pandemic the problem is, as you note, he continues to lean on excuses for why the pandemic is being handled the way it is, and including saying again in fox news sunday interview that it's because of increase

joining me now from the white house is nbc news carol lee. it's safe to say there has been a little, carol, mixed messaging on this. today secretary of state mike pompeo saying that russia engages in the way that's adversarial is nothing new. yet, at the same time, the president is tweeting all of this is a made up hoax. still, members of congress are actively being briefed by intelligence chiefs. what's going on here with the mixed messaging? >> reporter: i think a couple of things are going on, ayman. they're trying to explain why the president wasn't briefed on that, and make the case this was handled properly. so, in doing that, they're saying it wasn't important enough to rise to his level. and they're really downplaying that this was significant and should have been brought to his attention any sooner. at the same time, they want to push back against lawmakers, particularly democrats, who are saying that this wasn't handled properly. the president should have been briefed. and they want to know why he didn't take any actions in response

carol, thank you for being here. what is the ultimate goal as you see it of these reoccurring street movements, these occupations of cities? what's the agenda? >> it's not about police brutality or racism. i would say that it's part of a global movement to destroy the united states as we know it. it's roots are in marxism and anyone that studies marxism knows where it goes. it goes to communism. that's where we are headed. so the activists that you see out there today, they have an agenda. they are well-organized. the uprisings, a lot spontaneous. the grievances of black people and others that are oppressed are being used to advance an agenda, and if they succeed in destroying america, i guarantee you know one will be happy with the nation that remains. >> raymond: carroll, "the new york times" is tweeting today about their latest piece and they write "mount rushmore was built on land that belonged to the lakota tribe and sculpted by a man who had strong bonds with the kkk." they go on to say that the two presidents

carol, i want to start with you since we started with your reporting. and having traveled all over the country and all over the world with a president and this conversation that you and i have been having since you broke the story about a factory where they create ppp, where they slept there, i think this was in may. there because they didn't want to contaminate their factory. the truth is the hard, ugly truth is that the president and vice president are spreading covid wherever they go. >> i have to say, nicolle, it's 100% true. not only are they personally spreading it, they are a footprint on getting out among the people but especially in a few states, you'll notice. their demand on doing that is causing other people to get into harm's way. plus there's the mixed message. there are all sorts of health care officials in the white house and in the administration who are saying the jury is not only in. the proof is absolutely 100%. wearing masks and staying away from gatherings prevents the spread. but donald trump -- and the vice president is following

carol? caller: good morning. thank you to c-span and other networks staying on the air during this covid season. i know it is a challenge trying to bring the message to the american people. 1918?f this was back in we would be in a truly terrible mess. say, we will not see -- until we so weak get a consistent message across the country. the states are on their own, it is like the wild west. people are not getting consistent messaging across the country. wear ahey say mandatory mask, 14-day quarantine -- you , weyour food, medications are closing down for 14 days -- that we will start to see that curve go down in regard to the covid. right now, we are just going up and up. i called the other day and i was speaking about the situation where rome was falling. i should have said nero. the country is on fire. we are going to lose our place as it relates to our standing in the world as a world power because of ignorance and because of selfishness. together on our act those points, move away from selfishness and , if we

, the briefings got high ratings, trump believes the briefings can be a big asset with voters nbc's carol lee is at the white house for us what are you hearing for the reasons for restarting the briefings, clearly the misinformation you put out the first time didn't engender the himt of the american people to focus on when he resumes his appearances at the podium in the briefing room. he's struggling essentially answer questions about his leadership on the pandemic this is the white house's attempt to try to course correct on that. he's under a lot of pressure, a lot of criticism officials told us they've had internal polling that they looked at that show americans really have no idea what the federal government is doing in terms of the response to the pandemic but the president, however, had his own reasons he has outlined for why he wants to return to these briefings. let's take a listen to what he had to say yesterday >> as i was doing them, we had a lot of people watching, record numbers watching in the history of cable television, television, there's noefr been anything like it. >> r

briefly she asked how will russia respond to attempts to trigger snap neck -- she asked, carol morello at the "washington post" asks how will russia respond if the united states attempts to trigger snap back sanctions against iran since russia has made it clear that it does not support extending the arms embargo against iran in the security council. >> today i have used many times the word regret. i have to repeat it again. i regret that the united states decided to withdraw from jcpoa. we understand all the advantages and disadvantages of this plan but at the same time when we reached an agreement on jcpoa it was a compromise, compromise between united states iran rush of the uk france and the european union. the united states decided to withdraw from jcpoa. it means that the united states doesn't have any right to start snap back provisions with the u.n. security council 2231. we can see all provisions. the united states has no right and that's why we can't see any legal or technical ways for such a decision. we will be opposing any actions from the united states. or like to confirm

, carol. >>> joining me is dr. howard ko, former assistant health and human services secretary for the obama administration. the $2 billion pfizer deal, talk about the likelihood this will be available to the american people soon. is it common for a government or any agency to sign some kind of agreement before a vaccine is actually in the pipeline? >> over the last several decades the nation faced multiple challenges about vaccine supply, availability and timeliness in the face of an infectious disease crisis, i lived through that as assistant secretary through h1n1 and faced that through seasonal flu challenges. the strategy evolved over the last decade. it's important and high risk but i think something the nation has to do in the face of this terrible pandemic. this is the fifth agreement the u.s. government has made with the pharmaceutical company in recent weeks. pfizer, this is the one you just described, there have been previous ones with johnson & johnson, astrazeneca and novavax and the gamble and hope is

- carol: uhh... - strong, alex, strong. - donna: nervous. - good. this is something i have been looking forward to for eight years, and at long last we have a celebrity "jeopardy!" and in answer to a question many of you people are probably thinking about right now, the answer is no. the celebrities have not been briefed. in fact, they do not know what the categories are, so they have not been told what subjects to study for their appearance here today. they are here, as are all of our contestants, with their intelligence, their reflexes, and their egos completely exposed-- - [ carol wails ] - ...all along the line. [ audience laughs ] so for that, our thanks and our admiration. we'll get into the game in just a second. the stars are playing for their favorite charities, and to add an extra element of competition, the celebrity who has the highest total for the week will have that sum matched by the "jeopardy!" program

carol, do you ever reheat a cup of tea ? i have done, but it is not the same, i have done, but it is not the same, i have to say! a nice hot cup of tea makes you feel good early in the morning. good morning, everybody. it is makes you feel good early in the morning. good morning, everybody. it is quite a foggy start to the day in many parts, one of our weather watcher sent this picture early on and it shows what it is like in hampshire, whereas in dumfries and galloway, a different story. that really is how the forecast is today. we have a north—south split, a good day for a cup of tea! you can see all this cloud across england and also wales, that has been producing rain and we have clearer skies further north. temperatures fell just below freezing in parts of the highlands early this morning, and at the same time, we were in double figures along the south coast. a lot of cloud for much of england, also wales, we have that rain and then the rain will be picked up through the rain will be picked up through the afternoon in

. >> joining me now from the white house is nbc news correspondent carol lee. it sounds like the president is reverting back to form, talking about how it's only the testing that is making this pandemic such a big deal. i know there was a lot of hub bub over him staying on script the last couple days and delivering remarks that the white house had prepared for him. but again, in these interviews, carol, you can see him undercutting his own message. >> yeah, there's a bit of a contrast, right? when you look at what the president says, when he's at the podium these last two days, and he'll hold another one in a little bit of time at the white house again. what he says there, he largely stays on script. the white house officials that we have spoken to say they're happy with the way things are going. these briefings are relatively short. you remember they used to stand there for sometimes as long as several hours, and now it's under 30 minutes. and for the most part, he stays on script. and then you see him in this interview saying that testing is overrated and it'

we will see throughout the morning, carol. windy weekend for many people. hello — this is breakfast with dan walker and louise minchin. we'll bring you all the latest news and sport in a moment, but also on breakfast this morning. clapped and cheered out of hospital by his friends and colleagues. we'll catch up with the nurse who spent nine weeks being treated for coronavirus at the hospital he works at. she had us lunging and stretching through the early days of lockdown — the green goddess willjoin us just before 8:00 to tell us what she's been up to since. # we'll meet again... and katherinejenkins has kept herself busy, and fans entertained throughout the pandemic with weekly online performances — we'll speak to katherine about how she's adapted to life during lockdown. first, here's a summary of today's main stories from bbc news. cultural institutions such as independent cinemas, art galleries and live music venues are to receive a £1.5 billion support package from the government. the money, which will be in the form of emergency grants and loa

carol, i'll start with you. it will surprise literally no one that the president is tweeting about this. take us through how he is reacting. have we heard anything from the white house specifically? >> reporter: well, we heard from the president in a series of tweets, craig. to sum them up, they largely are the president hitting old grievances, bringing up the obama administration, accusing officials from the obama administration of spying on his campaign, saying he survived the mueller investigation. i'll read you a part. he said now the supreme court gives a delay ruling that they never would have given for another president. this is about prosecutorial misconduct. the president clearly sending the message that he feels like the victim, he's being treated unfairly. we also have for the first time a statement from the president's lawyer, jay sekulow. he said we are pleased in the decisions issued today the supreme court has temporarily blocked congress and new york prosecutors from obtaining the president's fin

carol lee, let's talk about where he's at with the polling. somebody today said the internal polls in the trump campaign match the public polling. it is not good right now. and they felt for the first time that they weren't entirely sure that re-election was certain. so what do you make of this wobbliness within the trump campaign and how they are potentially going to try to turn it around, or if they can. >> well, your point about the polling is exactly right. and if you talk to people close to the president, they'll tell you he himself will say privately that he knows there's a real chance that he could lose in november. and i think what we've seen is a campaign that's really struggled to find its footing since the coronavirus pandemic started. we've thought they could run on an economic message. that is not a message that's obviously going to work. they then thought they could brand joe biden as somehow corrupt or sleepy or not at all with it. there's a lot of frustration among the president's team that they can't really land a dplogl on hi
