Summary
Concerns about whether the Biden campaign is doing enough to speak to Latinx voters have grown in recent days following polling that suggests weakness among this group, particularly in Florida. Political consultant and former Bernie Sanders advisor Chuck Rocha joins to discuss.
The director of the CDC says that a vaccine for Covid-19 might not be available until the summer or fall of 2021. He also said that wearing a mask could be more important in fighting the spread of the virus. Trump disagreed.
And in headlines: Hurricane Sally drenches Alabama and Florida, Big Ten football is back on, and a former data-scientist for Facebook blows the whistle on Zuck.

| 0:00.0 | It's Thursday, September 17th. I'm a Heelah Hughes. |
| 0:08.4 | And I'm Gideon Ressneck and this is what a day where we are avoiding visiting our animal |
| 0:12.0 | crossing towns because, oh, it has been a while. |
| 0:15.2 | Yeah, I don't think that my squirrels are going to be happy when they see me. I have really |

| 0:48.3 | gently, very carefully. I see that in restaurants, they're people with masks and they're playing |
| 0:54.4 | all around with their mask and they have it. Their fingers are in their mask and then they're |
| 0:58.4 | serving with plates. I mean, I think there's a lot of problems with masks. |
| 1:02.4 | Wow. So there's a lot of mask talk happening there. I counted like 57. So that was President |

| 1:18.1 | in sewing the spread of the coronavirus. And Trump is still creating confusion about this very |
| 1:22.3 | simple public health tool. Yeah, he's not like one waiter doing something and he's been telling |
| 1:26.8 | the same story multiple times recently. I don't really follow it. He loves an anecdote. |
| 1:32.0 | First, it was toilets. Now it's this. Well, we'll get more into that in what else the CDC |
