of voters also turned out. officials said there were no issues with voting machines. dave wasserman of the cook political reports that gwinnett county has nine advanced voting centers open nine to 12 hours a day including weekends between now and the end of the month. so we have to keep an eye on georgia to see if they get a better handle on the wait time to vote. >> and, willie, the point that i think dave was making was, hey, yeah, the lines were really long, but this isn't like texas where the governor, governor abbott, is deliberately trying to make voting as hard as possible. here in gwinnett county, there were again, there were nine different locations. they're open a good bit of time. and i think what dave's point was, hey, this was a historic crush yesterday. let's see how it plays out over the next week or so. >> massive numbers and people waiting in line for 12 hours. because it was the first day and there was a reflection of the enthusiasm and there's a reason that the trump administration is playing defense in the state oh georgia and not playing in places like michigan

lemire is with us and has a question for you. jonathan? >> dave, what we saw here, as you said, kyle rittenhouse has become a champion on the far right, tucker carlson in particular has gone out of his way to defend the actions, we saw the president endorse what he did, and portland, eulogizing the person who was killed there, who had the caravan through portland streets as patriots. i want to get your take on that. from what you've seen on the videos, marches, the clashes between the two groups, the protesters on either side of this, what sort of charges -- what are we looking at there in terms of a law enforcement response, what would you see if that was your jurisdiction? >> jonathan, if someone was killed by a protester in polan portland, it doesn't matter if they're from the left or right, there could be murder charges. we don't know the name of the victim. the investigation will continue, i hope justice prevails there. this is a lot of incitement when the president said this is joe biden's america we need to remember who's in the white house. and there's incitement to send peop

around the clock security detail paid for by taxpayers. let's bring in heidi and dr. dave campbell. heidi, what did you find? >> even as devos is following trump and demanding that schools reopen, mika, she has a public schedule that has been empty for weeks according to nbc's review of her schedule. she's not touring those public schools that she's demanding reopen, even though we know many of them have poor ventilation systems which is a concern in other buildings, like restaurants for spread. she's not raising any funding alarms about the severe shortages that public school says they're facing. and last week she declined to testify before congress on a hearing specifically on school reopening. so i reached out to her office and asked what she's doing, they said she's been in constant contact with officials and superintendents. however when we reached out to the superintendent association, which represents superintendents in all 49 states they said they have not heard from her all year. this is all the more notable because she does have the around the clock armed security detail

barnicle, editor of the new yorker, dave remnick msnbc contributor jonathan k kapart and author of the john lewis biography. joe, right there i thought was one of the big pieces of news that came out of the interview of course, it was interesting and disturbing to hear his answers, interesting to see he was so rattled and he was so scared there was a look on his face i think we have never seen before, i haven't. and he was rattled by the questioning. and he couldn't answer the questions alone. but that answer, that's the answer that i think is the issue moving forward and how do we keep our election process secure and safe and we don't allow a corrupt president to undermine it. >> and how do we make sure that the 240-year history of peaceful transition of power continues in this country because right now we have a sitting president who appears to be, if you look at the polls, appears to be most likely on his way to a defeat, if those polls hold out. saying he may not accept the results and, in fact, has been building up to not accepting the results for months now with his ridiculous st

dave aaron bern. >> obviously you're well aware of this case. a lot of epstein's activities occurred in palm beach before you were the state attorney, but what can you tell us about ms. maxwell, what you know of this case and what we can expect? >> joe, a lot of us were wondering what took so long because she was jeffrey epstein's chief enabler. she also was a participant. without her, this whole criminal pyramid scheme of sexual abuse could not have happened because if jeffrey epstein himself sought to recruit and groom these 14-year-old girls, they would have told this creepy old guy to get lost but instead they had this charming, sophisticated british woman with a great accent to make these girls feel at home, to make them feel comfortable. that was the key to this criminal enterprise which is why she needed to be prosecuted. there's questions of why it took so long. to defend the prosecutors, she made herself hard to find. she bought a 156 acre parcel in new hampshire and hid out. she tried to put some misdirection out there by leaking a photo of her that was clearly staged at an

being on the show this morning. >>> still ahead, dave wasserman of the cook political report pointed out this fact overnight. when president trump took office in january 2017, there were 241 republicans in the house. since then 115, or 48%, have either retired, resigned, been defeated or are retiring in 2020. >>> now amid a global pandemic we're seeing a growing number of gop lawmakers break with the president over the issue of face masks. we'll talk about what this all means for the virus and the 2020 election. we're back in one minute. ok everyone, our mission is to provide complete, balanced nutrition for strength and energy. whoo-hoo! great tasting ensure with 9 grams of protein, 27 vitamins and minerals, and nutrients to support immune health. camera worldwide is a statement understood very well by north korea. >> this president is the most important world when it comes to the threats we face. >> on planet earth, okay. >>> good morning and welcome to "morning joe." >> what's that about? have they been -- >> it's a lot. it's about him. it's wednesday, july 1st. >> like lost in space,

. joining us now is maya wiley and attorney dave aaronberg. the defense used by two police officers is they were rookies and just following orders. how will that play out in court? >> well, let's first start with the court of public opinion, which is there are no orders that say you can murder a man that you have in handcuffs laying prone on the street who has done nothing to endanger your life. so the call for this is going to be very sharp from the public standpoint. from the legal standpoint, the primary issue is are there facts to show they were really supporting what was happening. by supporting, there's specific kinds of evidence, like the fact that two of them were helping to -- literally to hold mr. floyd down. they were not just standing around wondering what to do, they were participating physically. and the second is the length of time and the fact that one of the officers goes and checks for a pulse, says he doesn't feel one, and officer chauvin's knee remains on george floyd's neck for two more minutes after no pulse, and not one of them takes action that is a staggerin

joe" chief medical correspondent dr. dave campbell. dr. dave, this weekend, dr. deborah birx reminded americans of the importance to continue to social distance, not let their guard down, and she talked about the effectiveness of wearing masks. she's now wearing one publicly. we can't say it enough, though it is worth repeating. there are a large number of people who won't wear masks at this point, including the president. >> you know, it's important to realize that she reminded us. she didn't tell us for the first time. it is important to prevent droplets from you going to someone else. it is also important to remember that the cdc has told us that one-third of people who are infected with covid-19, with the coronavirus, don't know it. they're asymptomatic. that pool, it is a large, large pool. in the united states, the people who will, over the next few weeks, be infected, not know it, and able to transmit it to other people. it's never been more important to wear face masks, especially when you're inside, where the air just kind of sits. if you're outside, and you're 6 feet away fr

to have tests that are quite as accurate. as dr. dave said yesterday, there is a test coming online now that is almost 100% a accurate. that's fantastic, moving forward. we're going to talk to scott dlo gottlieb about all of this coming up. alex, i'm sorry, who did you want me to go -- richard haass. richard haass is here. richard, why don't we end up where we began, with you talking about "the world." what hot spots do we have? you talked about north korea still moving forward with their missile testing program and their nuclear program as quickly as possible. hasn't been stopped. donald trump, of course, wrong there, too, saying we didn't have to worry about north korea's program anymore. we do. what other hot spots across the globe are we taking our eyes off of right now because of the coronavirus? >> let me just suggest a few things that people are missing that are really interesting. one is afghanistan. any pretense of a peace process there has been stripped away. we're still talking about getting out, but essentially, the government there has given up on the taliban. they've r

correspondent dr. dave campbell. dr. dave, of course we've been talking about grim milestones, the u.s. passing 1 million cases. 58,000 americans dying. it also looks like projection models are changing once again. of course, they have to be fluid because we have 320 million people in this country. and depending on how those 320 million people act, what they do, what they do not do, the models are constantly changing. now there seems to be some changes with a slight uptick in. you have donald trump talking about 50 or 60,000 people dying even a week ago. we're now obviously going to easily surpass those numbers, unfortunately, tragically. so what's happening with these models? why are they sort of projecting a little more of an upward arc than we expected two weeks ago? >> well, the models are taking in realtime information which includes this patchwork of states reopening their economies, relaxing some of their contact reductions. so in realtime now we have the scientists throwing that data in and seeing as states relax their restrictions that the number of deaths and therefore the nu

want to bring in dr. dave campbell, "morning joe" chief medical correspondent. let's actually back into this with the second question first, dr. dave. what was dr. redfield saying about the fall? what are the top scientists saying about the fall? >> you know, i think what i'm not hearing, i didn't hear from dr. redfield. dr. fauci says we'll have this in the fall. dr. redfield is talking about the flu season in the fall overlapping with coronavirus. i'm not hearing anybody say that this is going away in the summer. because if we look at where we are now, we're going to be in may. the fall is going to be here very soon. we still have outbreaks. we still have areas that are showing increasing numbers. i don't see -- and i'm not an epidemiologist -- i don't see this going away in the summer. if it comes back in the fall even worse, that doesn't mean it went away. to your question, dr. redfield is talking about the overlap in concern we have when the seasonal flu kicks in in the fall, combined with whatever the coronavirus pandemic does in the fall. he and dr. birx and everyone is enco

hear time and time again, people are calling, as dr. dave reported, will call hundreds of times and never get through to anybody. >> joining us now, national immigration reporter for the "new york times," kaitlin dickerson, who has been covering this story, along with "morning joe" chief medical correspondent dr. dave campbell. kaitlin, i'll start with you. there's so many different potential problems attached to this. if you could maybe talk about them. everything from impact on our food supply to so many of these workers are very, very sick. >> that's right. i think, you know, to wrap your mind around the scope of what's happened, or how the outbreak could have gotten as bad as it did in south dakota at the smithfield plant, you have to picture this facility. it is eight stories tall. you have 3,700 employees. it operates 24/7. employees told me about having christmas meals around the lunch table there. that's right, most of them are immigrants and refugees. about 85% from all over the world. they condition afford to stay home from work, including when they are sick. i think that

for palm beach county, dave aronberg. you've been looking into this. this is just a mess. first of all, it appears to be a danger, to have these people lining up. >> yeah. very true, mika. you know, the governor was criticized during spring break for keeping the beaches open. he was likened to the mayor in the movie "jaws" for refusing to close the beaches. this is the latest florida debacle. you have an unemployment system that is the worst in the country, that has the most meager benefits, that continually crashes when people try to apply. people wake up in the middle of the night to apply, and it'll still crash. what's why you have lines of people. they're told to snail mail things in to tallahassee, in the year 2020 in a pandemic. the governor is saying that the real problem is the legislature created the system, and the previous governor did, as as well, but make no mistake, this system was designed to fail. it was designed to lower the number of benefits and lower the number of applicants so florida could brag about lowered unemployment rate after the great recession and lower th

in "morning joe" chief medical correspondent dr. dave campbell. dave, we're still having a problem with testing. at the briefing, dr. birx said that there's still not enough testing being performed because, in some of the labs, the machines weren't running. what did she mean by that? >> joe, we're not having the testing problem. we're having a testing abomination. it is unbelievably horrible, the lack of testing availability across the country. i'm in palm beach county. you can forget about it if you think you're going to drive-through a drive-by urgent care center or a tent and be tested. it is not going to happen. testing and physical distancing, those two things are connected. because if you are tested, and you know whether or not you have the virus in you, that will help you determine what you are going to do that day. so what i'm hearing about testing isn't registering with me. it is not available. you have to be sick, in a hospital, to be tested. >> how many times, kasie, have we heard the story that you don't get tested -- people that don't get tested, they stay at home. the

. let's bring in "morning joe" chief medical correspondent dr. dave campbell. dr. dave, i feel like these are the stories that perhaps give us the guidebook on when we can turn the corner on this. explain this convalescent plasma therapy and could it help the fight against the virus? >> of course. the convalescent plasma therapy is quite simply the use of antibodies that are collected from those that have been sick and recovered and then given to patients who are critically ill or severely ill with covid-19. that's been -- it's been used for years. it was used in sars, in mers, and ebola and even before that. and it is very exciting, but i must temper that excitement with the reality that if it was such a great thing that's been around for a long time, there would not have been 731 deaths in new york yesterday. and, in fact, if it were such a great thing, it would be in wide use already. it's under investigation. the fda came out just a few days ago and made a clear statement for doctors across the country that while it is, let's say, exciting, while it is possible that convalescent plasm

medical correspondent, dr. dave campbell, breaks it down for us. we'll be right back. >> the next week is going to be our pearl harbor moment. it is going to be our 9/11 moment. it is going to be the hardest moment for many americans in their entire lives. be over here? oven mitts! oven mitts! everything's stuck in the drawers! i'm sorry! oh, jeez. hi. kelly clarkson. try wayfair! oh, ok. it's going to help you, with all of... this! yeah, here you go. thank you! oh, i like that one!

in "morning joe" chief medical correspondent dr. dave campbell, and we want to play for our audience what dr. anthony fauci had to say yesterday when asked about the possibility of a second wave of the coronavirus in the fall. >> i would anticipate that that would actually happen because of the degree of transmissibility. however, if you come back in the fall it will be a totally different ball game of what happened when we first got hit with it in the beginning of this year. there will be several things that will be different. our ability to go out and be able to test identify isolate and contact trace will be orders of magnitude better than what it was just a couple months ago. it in addition, we have a number of clinical trials that are looking at a variety of therapeutic interventions. we hope one or more of them will be available. importantly, as i mentioned to you many times at the briefings, is that we have a vaccine that's on track and multiple other candidates so i would anticipate that, you know, a year to a year and a half we will be able to do it under an emergency use if

having dr. dave on very soon, who has disturbing information about ventilators. and it's grim. it's a grim situation. >> it's grim. >> again, i don't know why the president would be waiting to use the full power of his office and the full power of this defense act for an emergency to come. the emergency obviously is here. he declared it. we need to get moving right now. >> the worry is that he is moving and we're not ready. it is just not possible to get things in place. let's go to rome. nbc news foreign correspondent matt bradley is there. keeping in mind the numbers right now, matt, here in the united states are on par with rome, with italy, in terms of how this disease has progressed. what's the situation there? >> reporter: well, we just passed a really, really grim milestone. we had, yesterday, the largest increase in a single day in the number of deaths here in italy. also, we saw the largest increase in the number of new transmissions, of new cases, in one day since this whole nationwide lockdown started about a week ago. now, that's a pretty terrible, symbolic step, but we'

us now, "morning joe" chief medical correspondent dr. dave campbell. and infectious diseases physician. i want to get an overview, in terms of preparedness, again, the lack of testing, which i guess they say 1.9 million tests, which is not even close, coming soon. we are flying blind, are we not? >> yeah. i think that, i couldn't know, we're seeing hundreds of cases in many of the major cities in the united states. that's not really getting the bigger picture yet. as you said, despite the fact these test kits are out there, which you're finding in a lot of state laboratories, is that human resources, other technical availability of infrastructure and machines is kind of limiting this flow. even commercial laboratories are moving toward getting super busy with the testing. so we don't yet have a sense of how big this crisis. >> you know, dr. dave, we keep talking about senior citizens who are so at risk and act as if younger people are not at risk. but i remember the whistleblower in china, the first person who got in trouble for warning about the spread of the coronavirus the

. joining us now, "morning joe" chief medical correspondent dr. dave campbell. we also heard yesterday, dr. dave, that the congress in-house doctor told capitol hill staffers in a closed door meeting that he expects 70 million to 150 million of people in the u.s., a third of the country, to contract the virus. how accurate is that, in your estimate, and how lethal could that be? >> the estimate is in line with other projections from experts. it underscores the potential seriousness of this pandemic. dr. monaghan, the physician for the united states congress, briefed congress two days ago. that somewhere in the vicinity of a third of the country may become positive with this virus. there's statistical modeling out of harvard that supports this, as well. the doctor finds 20% to 60% of the world, adults in the world, will become positive and infected with this new coronavirus. >> potentially, we're right at the beginning of this, and not the middle or the end, which is quite frightening. we heard from dr. anthony fauci that, you know, it remains difficult to really assess mortality rates righ

impeachment inquiry launched against president trump, state attorney for palm beach county, dave arenberg. dave, bottom line, did the president commit any crimes pressuring the ukrainians to dig up dirt on joe biden? >> well, we will know more when the facts come out but it is possible because under the federal bribery and extortion laws you just need a public official who demands something of value to benefit himself to which he is not entitled in exchange for the performance of an official act. there could be a violation of the foreign corrupt practices act and campaign finance crimes. if you are asking whether crimes occurred here, i think that should be the last question because under the constitution you don't need the violation of a criminal statute to warrant impeachment. it could just be an abuse of power, as there was under richard nixon which led to his resignation. so when you are talking about abuse of power, you don't need to wait for a lengthy criminal investigation by a special prosecutor like robert mueller, you don't need to worry about the internal policy within

fluke. it seems like i'd be very concerned about this kind of fluke but that's just me. dave, you cover the mar-a-lago in your area. what have you heard? what has your office heard about this and what's the possibility this is just some random fluke? >> well, the feds have right to take this seriously because this is a woman who traveled more than 20 hours from shanghai, showed up at the gates of mar-a-lago and then lied repeatedly about her intentions and then was found with malware. you have access determined by private club management who made a mistake in allowing her in. they are too easy in allowing members and guests and people who claim to be guests of members in, as in this case. >> do we know where this woman is this morning? is she still in the jurisdiction? is she being held? is she free? is she bonded? what's the story? >> she is being held. she has another court appearance on monday. other than that, we don't know anything. her actual location was still not recorded yesterday when i checked, although that might change today. i think we'll find out more about her and

reported measles outbreak. dr. dave campbell joining us. 15 states? what's going on? >> the cdc reports and i believe that the virus has come into this country again perhaps this time from international travelers to the country of israel and also to ukraine, but it's particularly affecting small tight knit communities where there are pools of people who are not vaccinated, in particular, children and the concern of course is that this lack of vaccination, this vaccination he tsitant si is causing problems, perhaps more importantly for public health, they may be causing harm to others in their community, their friends, their families, their schools. thus the ban that we see. i called a friend of ours and talked to her and she said this is a big deal where there are pools of small groups of anti vaccine groups that are advocating against having vaccines. >> so now, we're looking at 15 state. we're looking at bans. we're looking at the law getting involved. am i missing something? wasn't this eradicated? >> i started practice in 1991. in 2000 measles was reported done in the united states.

the total of at least 101 female members will be the largest number in history. and as dave wasserman notes, republicans are on track to lose nearly half of the 23 women in the house. there could be just 13 in the next congress. republicans currently are ahead in only ten of california's 53 congressional districts. and falling further behind in the still undecided races like 15 term republican dana rohrbacker, 20 points behind his challenger. and for walters in california's 45th district, down to just one point with a difference of about 2,000 votes. the cook political reports amy walter tweeted, rs had a huge structure -- republicans had a huge structural advantage going into 2018. the fact that dems may net 40 seats as a route. this argument that it's not as bad as obama's 63 seat loss in 2010 is laughable. joe, i'll let you take it to donnie. it is laughable at this point. they're saying something that's completely untrue. and laughable. >> what a surprise. >> you're saying something that is completely untrue. you actually have donald trump demanding a revote, not a recount but a r

like tillerson are saying, don't worry, americans can sleep well at night. >> dave, what are you looking for today? >> well, i'm looking for more of the same. i hate to say it but i think the mixed messages, bombastic, then tone it down from tillerson back and forth up and down, that's sort of the way they want to play it. they think that disrupts people, makes them uncertain and invest their benefit. >> all right, david, susan, elise, mark, mike, you to some extent, thank you very much for being here. >> thank you, willy. >> that does it for us, chris jan sing picks up the coverage. >> i am in for stephanie rule this morning. president trump's unprecedented language on north korea's nuclear threat. >> they will be met with fire and fury like the world has never seen. >> now, new threats against u.s. interests. >> they are blowing through this president's red line like tissue paper. what is trump going to do now? >> and from both sides of the aisle, concern that trump isn't up to the task. >> the great leaders that i've seen, they don't threaten unless they are ready to act. and

lose faith in the trump administration. >> is he really? what was the turning point for dave? >> it might be climate. he and i both believe climate change is an existential threat. i told him last night, look, i have three grandchildren. i don't want them in 50 years saying grandpa, you knew climate change was happening. you were a united states senator. why didn't you do anything? also i'll still be alive because i'll be 110 then. >> i know. what's with grandpa? when is he going to leave. >> the new book. >> when is grandpa just going to die? that's what they are doing to say. >> they won't be saying that. they will be, gosh, we love grandpa. thank you for investments in nih, national institute of health. >> that's what they will be saying. >> they are here. >> they are so cute. >> those are the grandchildren. >> oh, my goodness. oh, my gosh, hi, adrian, very cute. >> cutie. >> very happy. >> that's jacob and his brother charl charlie. >> that's, joe, my oldest with avery. he's torturing avery there. >> they do. okay, will. >> the news is so heavy and relentless and feels heavy to

has been what dave ignation at the end. it is about the fact that he now is actually focusing on china in a constructive way ahead of very good meeting so he seems to be tilting a bit towards china and a bit more against russia. >> well, the important thing is pillar is a foreign policy that david mentioned in the column. engaging with china and care with russia and follow that path and get more on base on what have been the alliances that propelled our strengths and projection of power around the world. it is extremely important if you can keep it up. our allies were worried up until now. they were constantly, you know, setting up flares and alliances and u.s. military force. this is all reassuring. it is fascinating to me where you saw the obama alumni and president obama was lit on it for a time >> i was surprised by just how ready they all were to jump in the obam administration which suggests that i am sure -- i am sure people like samantha powell -- >> but, john kerry, i did not hear too much from joe biden. all these top players told him for a long time, you cannot let this go o

to ask my colleagues starting with tom is the question famously that dave petraeus asked as the iraq invasion started, tell me how this ends. >> the best case scenario, david, what's been -- we want to negotiate a solution that moves assad out but does not collapse the syrian government. that's the key thing. we don't want to produce another iraq where the syrian system collapses and then you truly have chaos. what has been missing in our diplomacy, and you and i have talked about this, david, weave had no leverage. we really had no leverage on the russians or the iranians, i think this begins to introduce some leverage into the equation. it may be that putin says, if the reports are true, that assad did this without consulting the russians. this is a huge embarrassment for the russians and the iranians. notice they're ducking. they don't want to be the protectors of a poison gas user. it may create an opening where we can have a dialogue with putin, how do we ease this guy out and together we can fight isis. the weakness of trump's strategy, when he came in, he said i'm for fighting

congressman tom cole and dave bratt and kevin brady will join the conversation this morning. welcome to "morning joe." it really is friday, right? are we good? >> guaranteed. >> it's friday, march 17th. i do not put that in quotes. it is actually friday. joe is wrapping up his family vacation. he'll be back on monday morning. with us today is senior political analyst for nbc news be and msnbc mark halpern. donny deutsche is with us. political writer for "the new york times" nick confessore and kasie hunt is in washington. a great group. >> she is the only one wearing a hint of green on st. patrick's day! >> you guys! >> she is so cute. >> i have a small hint of green on this tie. >> that doesn't do it, nick. >> i messed up. i'm just glad i know the day of the week at this point. i've had kind of a long one. >>> this morning, the white house is standing by president trump's claims of being wiretapped by a former president obama, despite leaders of the senate intelligence committee saying there is no evidence of this. in a joint statement, the top republican and democrat on the intel c

chris murphy of connecticut. senator, we have dave ignatius and katty kay standing by. but first mike barnicle has a question for you. mike. >> last weekend i was in berlin, with a group of people from the india, saudi arabia, turkey, kuwait, and they were all universally concerned about the erratic nature of this presidency in dealing with specifically allies around the world, wondering where it was all going and seemingly indicating this was weakening our picture in the world. do you pick up on that, hear anything about that from our allies? >> as a member of foreign relations committee i have members come in every week. i've traveled since the inauguration to speak to leaders in europe. the world is freaked out right now because they see american leadership vanishing before their eyes. it's not just the erratic nature of the trump administration. one day you have nikki haley coming out and talking about russia being ukraine. two days later the president of the united states cast doubt whether russians ever invade ukrain one day we're against one china policy, another day we're for

newsletter thrive, dr. dave campbell. we want to start with opioids. chris christie is finally here, his big focus. marco rubio talking about it in the state of florida. it's been a real problem in new england. in new hampshire, that's what everybody was talking about. are we making progress on this battle? what's going on? >> it's a terribly big problem. it's ahronic disease. it's a disease of addiction. it's been spiked by the up tick and the availability of the synthetic version of the potent opioid. if you look at the cost of heroin per kilogram, $35,000. >> right. >> a kilogram of this is like $3,000 and would kill an entire city. most of the drugs available now are laced with this because it makes the drug go further for the drug distributor. kids are dying. it's cheap and very, very potent. 50 times more potent. >> what is the answer to the problem? we hear donald trump talking about a crackdown on the border and all the stuff they are going to do, a war on drugs that's been fought 30 years. what do you do about this, mostly a prescription drug epidemic? >> it's a prescription and

discovers that these are voters, but anyhow, congressman dave bratt who had heavy tea party support met a contentious crowd in virginia. >> reporter: it was an explosive town hall where the republican took audience questions. >> i was impressed with the way dave handled himself with the -- the ignorance of people out here in the crowd. i thought he did a great job on what he was saying. i think he answered the questions well. >> i tried to explain, right, the two-year transition path and those kind of things so we can work on getting the anxiety level so we can have more sieve discourse. you just hear the anxiety is real and people want real solutions and so we are going to have to pay attention to that. >> anxiety is real. and peopl want real solutions. >> absolutely. virginia beach, freshman republican congressman scott taylor faced a second night of questions from hundreds who showed up early. >> roughly 800 packed into this high school auditorium that held thousand. some waited three hours outside to get that seat at the table. >> people are scared. >> a lot of unusual activity

, reduce the level of violence. that became dave petraeus' way. he was key to helping him think through. i saw him in afghanistan. he had the insight. the problem in afghanistan is it wauz corrupt, broken society. unless you fix the corruption, you can't fix the place. it's a terrific choice. when john mccain, your biggest critic says you made an outstanding choice, president trump, that's a good sign. too little experience in national security policy. he's a smart man and he'll learn. >> the harshest critics of trump were some of those praising him the most yesterday for this selection. what's so interesting is, you have a cabinet with generals that actually are acting as a moderating influence on a commander in chief because they have been in the middle of the most ha lashs battles. there's nothing glorious about power. it has limits that soft power, as we found out, it does more than hard power a lot of times. that's really important. when you start looking around the general, around donald trump, i love what somebody said about general mattis. he thought he was getting pat ton, he ende

operation is really simple. it really is. you do need as dave ignatius said, you need a strong chief of staff and donald trump has to trust reince priebus to be that strong chief of staff in a leon panetta form, or he needs to find somebody that he does. >> is there a problem with that. here is the problem that reince faces or anybody else put in that position or given that position. i do not seen -- and i've seen it on the inside -- i do not see any evidence ever or any possibility of this president becoming someone who will listen. i have never seen him listen. i have never seen him listen. i've seen him talk. i have not seen him completely listen. you talk and you get in there. people talk to him. they all want a little bit of attention. they are all nervous. they are all kind of kept in a position where they feel like at any moment everything could be thrown away and they would be thrown out the door, so everyone is nervous. he talks and then he asks a question, and maybe you'll get ten second in there to start a thought. and then there's talking about something else. there is no

hilferty, and author of the online newsletter, dr. dave campbell. we talked about this last week. i want to talk about it again specifically because mike barnicle very concerned. life expectse is going down. first time this has happened in a very long time. why is it going down? what can we do to stem that tide? >> it's going down because people are dying younger than they were before. that's obvious. implicit. the reason for that is, however, very complex. we can learn from the fact that cancer rates didn't decline also. so what is it about cancer that's different than heart disease and strokes and other things? it's prevention, diagnosis, and treatment. we're preventing cancer because people are smoking less. we're diagnosing it earlier with advanced tests like pet scans and treating it better. >> let's look at the list. heart disease is up almost a percentage point, and chronic lower respiratory disease is up almost 3%. strokes up 3%. unintentional injuries up 7%. alzheimer's, i mean, a lot of numbers going up. cancer is one of the only ones, the one we fear the most, going down. what's

dallas, leading spine surgeon and author and establisher of online health newsletter thrive dr. dave campbell joins us as well. >> we're spending more on health care than any other country and we're far, and we're actually losing the battle. how could that be? >> because we're not spending it fare efficiently and we're spending it towards, you know, people with chronic disease at the end of life, not preventing chronic disease. >> why are people dying earlier? >> one of the important things to look at is once people get 65, they're living a long time in the united states. they live comparable to europe. it's the pre-65 that we're not doing so well. and that's the real focus. if you look at it, the rise has really been in things like suicides, injuries, cirrhosis, all things related to mental health, really, and that, i think, is going to be the big secret underlying these numbers. the mental health of the country is not very good. people are depressed. people are very anxious. >> heart disease is up. cancer is actually down. >> that's the good news in this whole report. i'm an oncolo

. dave campbell and our own louis licawent there. >> we landed in port-au-prince and made our way five hours south to one of the hardest hit areas. julie was on the ground when matthew hit. >> there was no food and there were dead animals on the side of the road and people having to resort to the state where they were needing to eat those animals. food insecurity if it's starting at this level, what will it look like? >> this is it. this is the bridge. this is where it all happened. this bridge washed away in hurricane matthew essentially cutting off the southern end of this very long peninsula from all communication, all food, water and supplies. >> four hours later we make it. they work late into the night preparing equipment and supplies. at sunrise, we go to ground zero. the villages hardest hit by matthew's wrath. >> you can feel the love you're going to give out today. >> absolutely. >> it looks like a sand blaster blew through here. we started to see more and more trees knocked down. palm trees completely decapitated. i live in palm beach county. this is like the other side of t

. >> and they did have dave -- >> that was the right tone. >> whenever you take yourself seriously -- >> that was the worst thing that ever happened in america. >> that's what they are saying. it's the worst thing ever, and the two african-americans said, really, this is the worst thing ever. >> that was great. >>> we have to go to break. can we have kasie hunt? on the other side, we will be right back. >> i will be singing when we come back. ♪ ♪ when you find something worth waiting for, we'll help you invest to protect it for the future. financial guidance while you're mastering life. from chase, so you can. >>> what a great to have him back. >> the congressman has announced his -- that was funny. there are some trying to force a delay, concerned the current choices may not be the right people to bring the democrats back into power. also yesterday, a group of protesters calling for new leadership staged a sit-in in senator chuck schumer's capitol hill office. 17 protesters were arrested. >> yeah, mike -- >> joe, stop. >> how many of them voted? >> i am just telling you what s
