All right, thank you, Anderson. I am Chris Cuomo. Welcome to prime time. Please join me tonight,

not spending any more time on this nonsense about the president refusing to acknowledge

anything should have been done differently in the handling of pandemic. Why is the media going after it?

Who cares? Have you ever heard him take responsibility for any mistake?

What did you expect him to say? He has three tools in the face of criticism.

Deny, lie, and defy. And then he has a rotation of robotic mouthpieces that parrot the same thing that he says.

Look, in November, this president will be weighed and measured by you.

That's then.

Right now, forget about what he says.

What matters is how we're reopening and what needs to be done to make it faster and safer.

Let's focus on that, all right?

I got the governor of New York here tonight.

He says, if you want to do that, stop talking about the president. Focus on Congress because

they hold our reopening in their hands, and he says that there's one big thing they need to do,

and he's doing it already in New York. What is it? He'll tell you. We also have the state official who is refusing to bow to the president's demand that mail-in

voting be stopped, even if states and their citizens want it.

You know, because a lot of us are worried about going out to vote in a pandemic.

The interesting part is Trump's threat.

If you have mail-in voting, I'll defund you.

We have the truth of what a president can do

and the reality of why Trump is doing all of this in the first place.

You're ready to fight the good fight?
