that shooting now under both state and federal investigation. hello to our viewers in the united states and around the world. i'm john king. president trump today taking what you might call a bit of a victory lap visiting a religious shrine a day after doing this, posing with a bible in front of a church. after peaceful protesters being pushed back with tear gas and flash bangs, being moved away from the president's doorstep so he could act out. i spoke to the archdiocese moments ago. >> if the president had come to pray, if the president had come to offer words of consolation to give people hope for a better day in this country, he would have been welcomed. >> all this with the backdrop of

a nation in crisis, hurting, mourning, and waiting for leadership. today thousands are expected to take to the streets. the democrat looking to replace the incumbent also taking issue. >> donald trump has turned this country into a battlefield with fresh fears. he thinks division helps him. his narcissism has become more important than the nation's well-being that he leads. >> today thousands expected to take to the streets of houston. members of george floyd's family among them to honor the man killed by police eight days ago. the president threatening to take matters into his own hands, calling governors weak for not putting an end to the looting and chaos. he's vowed to send in the military if the continues. joining me kaitlan collins and rear admiral john kirby. kate, i want to start with you.

the president was out at the john paul ii shrine today, calling governors weak and promising to get tougher, but his definition of tough includes having protesters who were peacefully exercising their first amendment right across the street from his house forcibly removed. >> reporter: yeah, you couldn't ignore that. the president came out to the rose garden yesterday and said he's an ally of peaceful protesters when just moments, minutes before, we watched these protesters in front of the white house being cleared out with smoke, with flash bangs, with several lines of officers who had their shields, batons, and some of them were on foot, some were on horse back. they cleared the protesters after giving three abrupt warnings within minutes of each other. and of course then you saw the president in a large security detail and several aides including his son-in-law, jared kushner and ivanka trump as well

joining him to walk over to the church for the photo opportunity which he's now being criticized for by some local leaders here in washington for that. the governors aren't getting tougher on these protesters, he says, these riots that are happening, he says he is going to come in and take care of it, by that he men'ans the military. you continue to see the unrest in the nation over george floyd's death. it was a really striking moment yesterday, as you saw the split screen of what the president was saying in the rose garden and his actions becoming and how these protesters were proceeded by officers in front of the white house. there is now a pretty large eight-foot tall black fence around lafayette square in front of the white house. there were barricades set up.

>> our nationalization analyst sean turner also joins the conversation. having worked inside and understanding how the process works, a president of the united states told federal authorities yesterday to clear lafayette park, to move and use tear gas and batons and flash grenades against american citizens who maybe they're being loud and the president didn't like it, but they were exercising their constitutional right. they were being peaceful. this was not looting or violent. walk me through how that would be handled if a president says go across the street and move those people out of my neighborhood, even though they're obeying the law. >> john, you know, when i worked in the white house under the previous administration, anytime the president had an idea where he would like to do something that involved the military or national guard, the president was surrounded by competent, well-informed advisers who were empowered to sit down with the

president and talk him through the ramifications of what he's doing. this president does not have that. what the president's decision to use the national guard, to use a police force to go into lafayette park and push peaceful protesters out so that he could have this photo op yesterday, it has huge ramifications for law enforcement, the public, but also for our military and the public. he's basically saying to military leaders and to military troops, look, you either stand with me against the american citizens, or you stand against me. that's a horrible position for the president to put our u.s. military in. i will tell you in the previous administration i never saw anything like this. i served 21 years in the marine corps. it's not what just about what i saw in the previous administration, i have not seen this in my president when i served proudly as a u.s. marine.

>> tom, you also served with distinction as sean did. one of the strange things yesterday is the chairman of the joint chiefs, generally mark milley, walked across with the president from the white house to st. john's church. he joined the president and then later that night he went out on patrol and he said he wanted to take a look at some of the national guard activity around washington, d.c. listen here to the perspective of the chairman of the joint chiefs. >> just allow freedom to assemble and freedom of speech, that's perfectly fine. we support that. we took an oath to the constitution of the united states of america and to protect he know's rights. we have the d.c. national guard out here and i'm just checking to see how well they're doing, that's all. >> he's not the commander of the d.c. national guard. he is the chairman of the joint chiefs of staff and adviser to the president, the nation's top, if you will, policy-maker on military matters. is that inappropriate at all for the chairman of the joint

chiefs? >> i don't think it was the best use of his time last night for him to be out there among the troops. i think you're looking at 40 years of leadership of army soldiers, many of those years in combat. i think that was just coming out in milley's personality that he felt he needed to be out there to show the troops that he supported them and that -- and to try to put their mission into a bigger context sort of in line of what sean was saying. that's where his heart was, but i don't think it was the appropriate use of his time last night, particularly given the photos doan at st. john's church, which unfortunately he got wrapped up into as well. >> kaitlan, one of the issues is we heard the president many, many times before try to assert authority that he does not have whether it's about the coronavirus, now about the protests. i want you to listen to democratic governors. the president says they are being weak. he berated them on a call and said he will send in the military. here are several governors

saying no, that yonk you. >> i reject the notion that the federal government can send troops in the state of illinois. >> i say thank you, but no thank you. the president wants to recreate reality here, right? >> if it ever came to that, to that moment, it would be because they've just thrown a lot more gas on a fire that is burning. >> it's just a fascinating moment where the president is trying to assert authority and many of the big state governors are saying, sir, this is our responsibility, and under no circumstances do we want the military on our streets. >> yeah. and he's telling them how to run their state, which like you noted, that was something we saw with coronavirus where there was this struggle between the federal government's role and the state government's role. and the president made clear on a call yesterday where he berated governors saying many of them were weak, not just a few. many of them he said he believed are being weak because they were being run over by protesters and

he wanted to send the military in. tumbled defense secretary echo that saying that not enough national guard have been sent out. it's not just democratic governors who are saying that they don't need that. we are also seeing republican governors. larry hogan of maryland say they don't want that right now because their concern is it will escalate things. one governor said there needed to be a pr aspect to this because when people see the national guard being mobilized, it escalates things and raises concerns. they needed to a better way to frame it if they were going to start doing that. so the president is making this insistence about sending in the military. the u.s. military doesn't go out to do law enforcement in the streets of this nation unless the president himself made a special order. and so he threatened that yesterday. we'll see if he actually uses that going forward over the next few days. >> we'll watch it. kaitlan collins, sean turner, admiral kirby, thank you. for the supporters in congress, their reaction is a

difficult balancing act. most expressing support for the cause of peaceful protests, yet also backing the president's law and order rhetoric. >> i would say that the president's comments in the rose garden were important, they were significant, they were heartfelt, they led us in the right direction. we need to hear more like that from the president because, frankly, the country rallies around our chief executive when he speaks about bringing the american family together. >> checking in with rmanu raju. >> publicly by and large republicans are not saying they have any concerns about what the president has done. a number of top republican senators including senator john

cornyn, member of the senate republican leadership, told me it was a necessary security measure to clear out those protesters, including by using tear gas because of the president's movement. i said what about the fact that the president even had that photo op, was that necessary in order to clear out those protesters by force? he said, well, you know, the media is always going to criticize whatever the president does and he thought it was a simple gesture for the president to go forward with that photo op. now, another top republican senator, chuck grassley, i asked him about these peaceful protesters, and he said it's all assumed to be peaceful until someone that's got a terrorist activity or rioting activity, you don't know that until it happens. so i don't know if they could have known that, referring to the police. now, another one of the president's top allies, senator lindsey graham, chairman of the senate judiciary committee questioned why they needed the photo op. he said i don't know what the point was of that photo op, he told me. i guess he's trying to say we're

reclaiming the church, referring to the fire that occurred the night before at st. john's church. but the point is, we need to focus on what happened to mr. floyd. it's a systematic problem, but you can't do that until you get order. john, some republican senators are being more critical, ben sasse from nebraska issued a statement that he is supporting the peaceful protesters and what was occurring there, but for the most part we are not -- that's not the sense from most of the senate republican conference who realized the situation we're in, they get cross-wise with the president, they get criticized by this same president. the number two senate republican, john bannon, told me he didn't raise concerns with the president's actions, but he appealed for calm from the white house. >> appealing for calm from the white house. manu raju, appreciate the report. the former mayor of minneapolis joins us saying he tried and failed to change the

philadelphia today doing something that might seem counterintuitive, pushing back their curfew time so that voters in the state can vote in the primary. cnn's brian todd on the ground in philadelphia. brian, what's the latest? >> reporter: john, the tension that has been boiling over for the past three days in philadelphia still evident this afternoon in the city. we can give you some new figures from city officials. they say nearly 700 people total have been arrested over the past three days for everything from protests to looting and violating curfew. we can tell you that this information coming from the mayor's office that several atms were attacked overnight. we're in a neighborhood in north philadelphia. that was one of them. according to the mayor's office here, someone tried to blow up that atm and was killed in the early morning hours of today. we have word that a looter was shot and killed by a store owner in the early morning hours today.

so pockets of looting still going on in philadelphia. we came upon tefseveral of them last night. police have been patrolling around the streets with reinforcements from state police and national guard. but last night we came upon some people looting on the street in north philadelphia where police were just down the street and the police were sweeping up and down. but the looters were brazenly taking things turned noses of police. they seemed confident that they could go ahead and go into a store when police were moving down the street. we can show you video from yesterday when the tensions got high between police and protesters at interstate 76, they went into the interstate and police confirming to us last night that they fired several rounds of tear gas because protesters wouldn't heed the calls for protesters to back off of a patrol car that they were apparently bouncing on and pounding on.

so that just incited a chaotic scene where people were climbing over each other trying to get over a fence. they were falling on each other, tear gas all over the place. the tension yesterday, saturday was, of course, very bad here. still very evident this morning, john. police trying to get their arms around some of this. >> we'll see if it continues into the evening as the curfew a little bit later so people can vote in the primary. brian todd on the ground for us in philadelphia. thank you so much. let's shift to minneapolis where this all began. a former mayor says he knows the city's cops had a problem. he writes we have a majority of officers let a minority of officers create an us versus them culture that dehumanizes the people the officers are supposed to protect and serve. the former mayor, r.t. rybak joins us now. thank you for being with us. let's start with the headline. you say you tried and you

failed. how does the other side win? why did you fail? >> i did fail. but first we got to get our focus back. the focus is not riots. the focus is not looting. those are really important, protests is especially important. the key is a knee on the neck. when one human being does that to another, when they are a police officer with a gun who we ask to protect and serve, we have to first stand up and take responsibility. 12 years as a mayor, i looked at every individual conversations with cops, every one of the community meetings, and all of it has to be re-examined. but i do think we have tools to move forward. if we focus on police reform, we should implement the 21st century policing program. we should look at the research

coming out of the university of chicago to build the systems that make them go right. we have to ask the good officers we know and say you cannot be a good officer unless right now you stand up and kneel down and take that knee and show exactly what a knee did to a person's neck. it is time to ask the police officers of this country to recognize that we can reform their department, but it's got to start with them. >> to that point, you write in your piece, you know in your heart that george floyd should not be dead. your silence is deafening and this city and country cannot move forward until we hear your voices. as you know, one officer, the officer we all saw committing a heinous act of violence against a citizen has been charged. three other officers stood by silently, did not intervene. what are you looking for? the chief has said he believes the department especially those men standing by for complicit. what are you looking for from the department at this moment

from the rank-and-file officers to try to show the citizens of the community they get it, and they will change. >> we have a good chief, who i believe has the capacity to get this done. but if we still have leaders of the police federation, the union leader in our town wrote a two-page letter that didn't mention the murder of a person at the hands of a minneapolis police department once. when th when a president of the united states gives cover to people who killed someone in my city, then we really have to ask ourselves whether the people who elect that person and in the case of the federation president, it is the police officers. as long as they take comfort from a person who gis them comfort for doing the wrong thing, then we cannot move forward. >> former mayor of minneapolis, r.t. rybak, thank you for your

new developments in the global rush to find a vaccine for the coronavirus. the world health organization says there are now 133 covid-19 vaccines in the works around the world right now. cnn senior medical correspondent

elizabeth cohen joins us with an update. >> let's break down exactly where those vaccines are because they're in different places. let's take a look. so there are ten vaccines that are in human clinical trials. in other words, they're actually being experimented on in humans in various stages, five are chinese, four in the u.s., and one is based in the u.k. in addition, there are 123 vaccines that are in earlier stages that are being studied in animals, in the lab. it's not clear when those will get to this final stage where you study in hundreds, and then thousands, if not tens of thousands of humans. we don't know when we're going to get a vaccine. the ones in human clinical trials is basically january till june of next year. john? >> elizabeth, the surgeon general saying he believes there potentially could be new outbreaks and new coronavirus clusters.

explain what he means. >> right. so you just have to watch that video for just even a few minutes, and you can see that people are in a small area, outside, which is good, but they're in a relatively small area, not wear masks, often not wearing masks, and that can definitely spread the virus. and so what the surgeon general is saying that is a ripe situation for the spread of the virus. he is concerned not now, not torp, n tomorrow, but as the days move forward, we could see new outbreaks. >> elizabeth cohen, appreciate those important updates. just ahead for us, the new york governor has a message for police officers confronting protesters. supplements neuriva has clinically proven ingredients that fuel 5 indicators of brain performance. memory, focus, accuracy, learning, and concentration. try neuriva for 30 days and see the difference.

. president trump is blaming the ante if a movement for the violence. but we're learning that online calls for action, calls for violence attributed to an antifa are coming from elsewhere. >> on sunday the president said he would label antifa a terrorist organization. a tweet began circulating sunday evening, and i think we can bring it up on the screen. it said, alert, tonight's the night, comrades, tonight we say eff the city and we move into reasonable areas, the white hoods and we take what's ours. that's obviously a clear call to violence. but we have learned since over the past 24 hours twitter telling us that that account was not run by antifa at all.

it was, in fact, actually run by white nationalists and known white supremacist groups. antifa isn't involved in any violence here in any way, but what it does confirm is suspicions that white nationalists have been jumping on the antifa movement in ways to try to stoke tension. that tweet picked up a lot of traction. in fact, it got picked up by the president's son, donald trump jr., who shared the tweet from antifa, what is 2.8 million instagram followers saying it was absolutely insane. just remember what antifa really is, a terrorist organization. they're not even pretending anymore. when we reached out for comment, there was no comment from trump junior. he has removed that post from his instagram this morning and there is obviously no suggestion whatsoever that he knew who was behind this. like all of us, he probably fell for some online misinformation

here. so it's very important, i think, that we all know as we see posts from all sides of the political spectrum and social media platforms to be very critical of what you're looking at and things may not be what they seem. >> it's not the first time the president's son has either retweeted or reposted on something that turned out not what it appeared to be. appreciate that important reporting. thank you, sir. new yorkose governor andrew cuomo saying what's happening in his state is inexcusable, looting and violence resulting in more than 700 arrests last night. simone, you see the pictures of the destruction and it is startling. >> it is startling, john. i was out there witnessing a lot of the destruction. it was hard to watch what was going on. you know, you had looters that completely took over the city. the city was overrun by looters that seemingly were operating in an organized fashion on their own. police officers were chasing

them all around. of course the governor very critical today of the way the city responded to all of this and having seen what i saw last night, i was out there till 2:00 in the morning, you can't blame him. take a listen who what he said. >> the police must stop the looting and the criminal activity. they are supposed to protect the community, protect the property. they did not do that in new york city last night. and i am disappointed and outraged at what happened in new york city last night. >> i've been talking to some police officers here at the nypd. they're tired. they're in some ways overwhelmed now. they're wondering how this is going to stop. they're asking police officers that i talked to that more resources be brought in. they're not happy. they were running around the entire island of manhattan trying to stop these looters for hours. this went on for several hours.

it started around 7:00 in the evening on 5th avenue. i saw a store there being broken into, looters trashing, shattering glass and then running away. the police trying to chase them down. they ran to the upper east side. then there were people around union square who were doing the same, using metal barricades that police had placed on the street to help with some of the peaceful demonstrators, they used these metal barriers to shatter glass through stores and they would run into the store. the other thing is police were standing around. they were maybe a few blocks away. the thing is, for a lot of these officers, you know, there is some fear, of course, because if you go into one of these situations, you could be overwhelmed by these looters and in some cases, they were. and you heard officers calling for assistance all night across the city to try to get this under control. and they just couldn't get it under control. the other thing we saw was -- i

saw people after the curfew had ended at 11:00 p.m., there were looters walking around the streets with bats, metal bats. why at any point someone would need to walk around the streets of manhattan with a metal bat, they were walking right past police officers. police officers weren't asking any questions, weren't stopping anyone. and it just seemed -- i have never witnessed anything like this before. any of us ferguson, i was in baltimore, and there was looting in ferguson. but this was a city last night that was overrun in the hundreds by looters. they were young, they were men and women, they were arriving in cars, they were on bicycles, on scooters. they had duffle bags. this to me seemed like it was very organized. they knew the locations they were targeting, they knew what locations were being targeted, and where they were successful, and then they were going there by the dozens and removing items

and removing clothes and shoes. it was really distressing to see. i know i've been talking to people who live in new york city and people are scared and they're trying to figure out how is this going to stop and what is going to happen tonight and in the coming days, john. >> those pictures are chaos, not in any way a tribute to george floyd, just flat-out chaos. simone, appreciate the reporting. coming up for us, social unrest. but today is a big election day. we help you make it. you, the independent restaurants of america... we've always got your back, but through all of this... you made it happen. you made our friday nights. you even made us dessert. ♪ so, to help you get back to full strength, we're giving away free re-opening kits at our website so you can safely re-open your doors. for all you do, from all of us, let us help you make it. ♪

today seven states plus washington, d.c., holding presidential pulmonary elections of four of the states are voting today after moving their contests back because of the coronavirus pandemic. montana changing its primary to an all-mail-in vote. you see the map there. joe biden's campaign will be watching closely as we count the delegates. there are 479 up for grabs today. here to show the reporting, jeff zeleny. laura, let me start with you. the campaign is almost forgot because of the coronavirus pandemic and now this social unrest because of the killing of george floyd. joe biden is the presumptive

democratic nominee, but the math is almost to the finish line. >> that's right. joe biden is nearly there and this is the biggest election date we've had since super tuesday. the big question right now today is, what turnout is going to looking like given all the unrest you mentioned. states like pennsylvania and cities like philadelphia, they're very worried. civil rights advocates are worried about how that's going to impact the ability to vote. all these states allowed at least temporary absentee voting, some form of mail-in ballot voting. but again, whether it's coronavirus or the unrest we're seeing across the country, in states where voters are going to vote today, it's unclear what impact that could have on the final turnout. >> jeff, this is also -- we're

in the middle of this big primary but we're in this fight, mail-in balloting. the president talking and tweeting in recent days, the united states cannot have all mail-in ballots, it will the biggest fraud in history. nothing there from the president is actually factual, nothing. mail-in voting increases turnout and there's little evidence of fraud. but this has become a giant flash point from him and some republicans are nervous this might hurt them because the president saying this is bad, and if you have mail-in balloting, whether it's because of the coronavirus or states move to do more of it, republicans may not participate because the president tells them it's bad. >> it's fascinating. mail-in voting has been available and used by republicans and democrats in states across the country for a long time. primarily in western states it has been -- it's more unusual now to go to a polling place and vote on election day than it is to mail-in your ballot like

arizona or utah. minnesota, for example,, the republican secretary of state believes everyone should have an absentee ballot. in iowa as well. this is something that is going to -- the coronavirus pandemic has changed how we do a lot of things in the country, voting is likely one of them. but it absolutely creates mixed messaging here because the president is attacking it while others believe it should be used. john, the reality is the trump campaign is preparing to use mail-in voting and preparing to get up to speed on this even is the president is criticizing it because it is a sign of the times how voting is done here. we'll see how these results come out tomorrow on this, but this without a doubt is one of the bigger stories of today's election system, the democratic primary campaign is no longer in doubt. it is how ballots are cast in america here and who has that advantage. >> five months from today is the general election.

one of our questions is what will be the lead issue? we would have said it's a strong economy that helps the economy in march. the leadership is being questioned by the american people. now we have the second party unrest on top of it. listen to this from earlier today from joe biden, the presumptive democrat. >> the president held up the bible at st. john's church yesterday. i just wish he opened it once in a while instead of brandishing it. if he opened it, he could have learned something. love one another as we love ourselves. it's really hard work, but it's the work of america. donald trump isn't interested in doing that work. >> race and what you might say the empathy divide between these two gentlemen very much a factor in the campaign today. >> yes. i think we can't understate how

uncertain, as you mentioned, john, heading five months away from the election we are about what issues are going to be the most important to the american electorate. we know coronavirus and the economy are going to be big factors on people's minds. and also this unrest about police brutality. and again, those very issues are hitting black and brown people the most, specifically black americans. they were disproportionately impacted in terms of infections and hospitalizations and deaths with coronavirus. they're losing jobs at a higher rate than their white counterparts. on top of it now we see these protests and them impacted by police brutality and killings. so it's unclear whether or not that'll translate into anger and into action at the polls by african-americans. i've been talking to some organizers on the ground in states like michigan and pennsylvania who say that the risk sometimes around this unrest is whether or not voters,

african-americans who don't typically trust the system because they strew system has not having worked for them in many regards across generations, whether or not they're encouraged by the messages we just heard from biden to actually turned out the and vote or if they decide to stay at home because of it. >> another uncertainty in an uncertain time. appreciate the reporting and insights. breaking news just into cnn. six atlanta police officers are facing charges for using excessive force against two college students. this during protests on saturday. cnn's diane gal gar is following the story. >> reporter: i'm sure that people remember the video that we showed yesterday. we're not going to show it today because it is so violent and so difficult to watch, so much that when the district attorney was presenting these charges, those two college students, messiah young and tania pilgrim walked

out of the room because they couldn't not watch it. the six officers are facing aggravated assault, damage to property. they have until the end of the day friday to turn themselves in. the corner said it was easy for them to come to this conclusion after reviewing the evidence. he said that after the arrests were made, they talked about an officer saying that a gun had been pulled on them. he said during the incident, which is all reported recorded guns were recovered. i want you to listen to something the young man, messiah young said. he said i feel a little safer now that these monsters are off the street and no longer able to terrorize anyone else from this point on. john, he went on to talk about the fact that this is about police accountability, which is what so many of these protests around the country are about and said they hope that these charges lead to convictions. these are six atlanta police

officers. this incident happened on saturday, who have since been charged with this. they're letting them turn themselves in, but the district attorney said they went through the evidence and had no choice but to charge these officers, john. >> quick action and atlanta. we'll see how it plays out. dianne gallagher, appreciate the new reporting. thank you very much. we'll be right back. hey allergy muddlers...
