Good evening. It is getting close. Close to election day on the eve of the final weekend.

This is the last chance for Joe Biden and for the president to sway voters.

We'll focus tonight on every place that could make a difference this time and everything

that's different compared to 2016.

Already, we've seen record early voting. You know that. In Texas, in fact, more ballots

have already been cast than the entire total four years ago, early and day of voting combined.

That's of course a big difference, but driving in and hanging over it all is the pandemic.

Today saw cases top nine million. And just moments ago, the country hit yet another new,

sad record for daily cases where then 89,000 and 888 lives lost.

The final numbers won't be calculated until after midnight, so cases will almost certainly

top 900,000. Oh, excuse me, 90,000, 90,000 today.

The deaths will also continue rising at the current rate. About 40 people will die over

the course of the next hour. Well, I'm on the air tonight talking to you and you're

listening at home or maybe at the gym or listening in your car. 40 Americans will die.

Some of those deaths are preventable if more people would wear masks, but not enough of

us care to, including the president. Joe Biden, Kamala Harris, continued to hold socially

distanced campaign events. The president of vice president continued to hold campaign

events that make it easy for the virus to spread. The president is all in online about

the virus now. He's telling crowds of maskless people crammed together that they are social

distancing and wearing masks. He's saying the virus is going away. It's not, of course,

it's spreading. He says the doctors are lying about the death toll. They aren't. The

death toll is actually under reported. Do Americans care about these lives? These insults?
