to our viewers, thanks very much for watching. i'll be back tomorrow night, 7:00 p.m. eastern for a special situation room. our coverage starts now. up front, the president says today is a good day for george floyd. his plan to address racism is the economy. protests over police violence uncover more instances of excessive force. one woman says she was body slammed by an atlanta officer, what happened. and army secretary revealing the administration was ready to use paratroopers in washington if something went bad. let's go outfront. president trump says today is a good day for george floyd.

the president turned to the protests that rocked the nation, are under way again, you see live, miami, los angeles, new york, minneapolis. trump said floyd would approve how he is handling the protests. >> hopefully george is looking down now, saying there's a great thing that's happening for our country. great day for him, great day for everybody. this is a great day for everybody. this is a great, great day in terms of equality. >> a great day in terms of equality. in what way? after all, this president of course threatened to deploy the u.s. military against protesters, allowed rubber bullets and tear gas to be used against protesters. this is what we heard about the protesters pushing for equality. >> i will not allow angry mobs to dominate. these are not acts of peaceful protests. these are acts of domestic

terror. >> you have to dominate, you have to arrest people and you have to try people and they have to go to jail for long periods of time. >> dominate. in a tweet, president trump threatened protesters with vicious dogs. when president trump said today was a great day for george floyd, what did he mean? what is he doing about bigger issues involving race in america? he got a question today which he could have turned into an opportunity. let me play the exchange. >> i'd like to sign this bill. this is a very different thing. by the way, what's happening to our country and what you now see has been happening is the greatest thing that can happen for race relations, african-american community, the asian americans, the hispanic americans, for women, for everything. >> what's your plan?

>> our country is so strong. that's what my plan is. we're going to have the strongest economy in the world. >> so his plan for racism is a strong economy. look, let's be clear, a strong economy does matter. it is important. but trump is wrong because it doesn't solve the problem. look at the facts. even when the economy was good, and wow, it was good, black unemployment rate was at an all time low, as it was trending down, black men were 2.5 times more likely to die during an encounter with police than white men, according to a study. now trump is trying to take another victory lap when it comes to the economy, but there isn't a victory here today for blacks. the white unemployment rate last month in that shocking report fell from 14 to 12%. black unemployment remained steady. nearly 17%. fewer than half all black americans currently have a job. how would a better economy have protected floyd? well, trump was asked that very

question. >> just a follow-up, how would a better economy protect george floyd? sure, i'll ask after. will you take questions after, sir? >> the answer was no. he didn't. and the answer to the question by the way is also no. even a strong economy wouldn't have saved george floyd. george floyd is dead. so no, mr. president, today is not a good day for george floyd. that's why protests continue around the country. kyung lah is in los angeles, proerl protesters are there. what's happening where you are? >> reporter: you can see for yourself, it is another large gathering on the steps of los angeles city hall. what we have been watching is quite an extraordinary scene. we heard the speech, the i have a dream speech from reverend martin luther king jr. piped out on speakers. you're hearing music. people are hugging. it is, yes, the passion and anger from earlier this week.

now it has almost gotten into more of a brotherhood and sisterhood and calling for systemic change still, but it is different. it feels different here at this large crowd. the organizers of all this have said they will not give up, these crowds will continue. he also says there's a difference in the measure of how the state and city is reacting. you see the police department here. no helmets. the governor of california this afternoon, erin, did announce that he is instructing law enforcement to stop training officers using a strangle hold, chokehold. it is a suppression method, that law enforcement will no longer be trained to do that. so changes on the ground. you already know about the 100 to $150 million cut in the police budget in los angeles, so at least in this city, the protesters feel there is some small steps forward in their

movement. >> thank you very much. i want to go to kaitlan collins near the white house. you heard the president talk about the economy, we heard him say this is a great day for george floyd. does he truly believe that? >> reporter: well, right before that, he had been saying all people should be treated equally under the law, when they deal with law enforcement. then he said it was a great day for equality. that's really a statement that drew a lot of questions because the question is what does he mean by that? george floyd is still dead, protests are raging across the country, and the white house has done very little to address why people are protesting. instead, you've seen the president focus on those rioting, looting, but not the majority of protesters and why they're out there. instead last night, you saw the president amplify a letter from his former attorney saying the protesters in lafayette park that they aggressively cleared monday night, that the president faced criticism over, he called

them terrorists. he retweeted that letter. this comes as we end the week, the president hasn't held listening sessions with black community leaders like aides said they planned on him doing, they haven't introduced any reforms they believe should happen among officers to prevent what we're seeing happening to people like george floyd and so many others. that was the question that people raised. you saw people like joe biden come out and criticize the president saying he shouldn't be putting words in george floyd's mouth, given the manner in which he died. this comes as the president is returning to a fortified white house. he was scheduled to go to his golf club in new jersey, he is not going any longer. aides worry what the optics would be of him being there while protests happen across the country. >> thank you very much, that seems like they made the right decision on that. ben, you hear the president

today touting his economic numbers, saying hopefully george is looking down now, saying there's a great thing happening for our country, there's a great day for him, do you see this as a great day for george floyd? >> we're still deep in the mourning period, and my heart goes out to george's family in these moments, and the president of the united states to be socal -- so callous, had one service yesterday and more next week, people are mourning his killing. the president to come out in the mourning period in a brash, callous way sinks to a new low for the president of our country. >> joe biden did respond quickly as she mentioned to the president's comments. he did seize on it. here's what he said. >> george floyd's last words, i can't breathe.

i can't breathe have echoed across the nation and frankly around the world. for the president to try to put any other words in the mouth of george floyd i think is despicable. >> he is drawing a clear contrast, going straight to criticizing the president. what impact will that have? certainly on trump supporters, it doesn't seem much. >> no. and look, at this point even among polls where the president, all polls where the president is dipping nationally in battleground states, his support is maybe a little less with the base than before, but still pretty rock solid, talking about swing voters, key voters who were maybe obama, trump voters, they are out there, and the question is how they'll go in november. one thing i will say on the substance of what the president

was saying, let's just say that he was trying to conflate the economy, the economic news with george floyd and what's happening in black america. he's wrong. he's just wrong on the basic numbers that came out of the bureau of labor and statistics today, and mr. jealous knows this as well, as eager as the president was to say how great the economy was compared to how bad we thought it would be, it is that bad for black americans, highest unemployment in more than a decade among black americans right now. so there's no equality when it comes to how much they're suffering, economically, never mind when it comes to social and racial bias. >> right. even on the micro, it was inaccurate. go ahead, ben. >> that's right. but also, keep in mind, people live their lives in cities and

states, states have seen 22% unemployment, close to the national high of the great depression. states like nevada going higher, around 28. and i was just last saturday out in baltimore helping feed thousands of families, these are families showing up in cars, clear that they had a job two months ago. now they have to show up to get free food to make ends meet, to survive the next couple of weeks. so the callousness isn't just george floyd and his family and even to the protesters, it is to people of this country that are struggling, anxious, and let's be clear what we're seeing is the result of an economy where we are barring massive amounts of money, lending massive amounts of money trying to prop things up. people have reasons to be very worried what looms in the future, even as hard as things

are now. >> dana, the president we heard him say he is not allowing angry mobs to dominate acts of domestic terror, you have to dominate people, people have to go to jail. that's how he talked about the protests. today he did, he talked about it in exactly those words. then sort of a whiplash. two nearly back to back sentences. >> what's happening to our country and what you now see has been happening is the greatest thing that can happen for race relations, african-americans, asian americans, hispanic americans, for women, for everything. the country is so strong. that's what my plan is. we're going to have the strongest economy in the world. >> so dana, he said that. but at another point, sadie kwal justice under the law must mean that every american receives equal treatment in every

encounter with law enforcement regardless of race. he hasn't said anything like that up to this point. in a speech he said call on national guard, you have to dominate the streets, he talked about equal justice under the law. how did that sentence get in there? >> that's a great question. you know, the cynic said it was said to be clipped and sent to communities they're trying to reach out to of color, the other things for a facebook or social media post near you to people who he wants to keep firmly in his corner. he's never been accused of being consistent. i think today was another example of that. >> all right. thank you. >> just real quick. the president saying peaceful protesters are domestic

terrorists gives license to officers to be the worst toward people that simply want better. and when we saw that man 75 years old thrown down on the streets yesterday, blood coming out of his ears, that's a direct result of the way the president eggs on the worst in officers. any comments he makes, side comments about equality, if he has no plan, is going to keep egging on the worst in officers falls worse than flat. it simply looks like the man truly doesn't care. >> thank you both very much. next, i talk to tim scott. does he believe the economy is the answer to combatting systemic racism? the video is hard to watch. police are slamming a black woman to the ground in atlanta. her collarbone is now broken. what led to the incident. she's my guest. and dr. anthony fauci calling the protests the perfect setup for spreading coronavirus.

had this message for the nation's governors. >> i hope they also use the national guard. call me, we'll be ready for them so fast, their heads will spin. we did it in minnesota, in minneapolis, we were incredible. they were ripping that place apart. i will love it. we had such success there. you have to dominate the streets. you can't let what's happening happen. >> all right. that was president trump as we said speaking about the governors, using the word dominate that he used so many times, i will not allow angry mobs to dominate, you have to dominate and you have to arrest. tonight saying you have to dominate the streets. out front, republican senator tim scott from south carolina. senator scott, when you hear him again today using the word dominate to talk about the streets and the protesters, are you comfortable with that language from this president? >> the president is trying to say we have to have order in the streets to maintain focus on the main thing, and frankly as much attention as we're giving to

president trump, we should be giving more attention to george floyd and people that murdered him. that's where the focus should be. by establishing more order in the streets, allowing more nonviolent peaceful protesters to continue to maran force the conversation that we need to have on race and justice, that's really important. how we eliminate violent agitators that are distracting in a selfish way from the main objective which should be justice for george floyd, and the family of mr. floyd. that's where the focus should be. so i am focused on making sure that happens, when i have my conversations with the president, as i did this past saturday, i talked specifically about the importance of spending as much time on mr. floyd and less time on all the other topics as relates to the current incident because this incident is not simply in the minds of african americans about mr. floyd, it is about decades of the same struggle, the same deaths, same murders that have

gone unreported. thank god for film and videos that say it is happening because most of us would say it's been happening all our lives. >> well, it has been. those are the facts. and i want to ask you about that. i want to ask one more point about the president's handling of this, it is important. that is outside the white house when protesters were peacefully exercising their rights, there were rubber bullets and tear gas, they were disbursed so he could go for the pictures, photo op at the church. general mattis, four star general with many senior military leaders spoke out. never did i dream troops would be ordered under any circumstance to violate constitutional rights of citizens, much less for a photo op for the commander in chief with military leaders alongside. do you agree with general

mattis? >> i would say no question the scene that i understand occurred from with the tear gas and rubber bullets was unnecessary, not appropriate at all. the president's response was that he had no clue about that. i have to take him at his word. i believe that ultimately we should spend more time focusing how to help peaceful protesters exercise their rights. in my opinion people like john lewis helped all of us recognize the systemic challenges we had in society that led us to a place where you and i can have this conversation. >> and look, it is important that we can have it. and over decades there has been progress. but i was just sharing numbers at the top of the program, the president was talking about the unexpected good news on the jobs numbers, right, but obviously we didn't see improvement for african americans, right? 17%. white workers, unemployment went down two points. unemployment for black workers ticked up. black americans without a job is less than 50%, senator.

does the president understand this, when he is told what's your solution for systemic racism, his answer is a strong economy. >> i think the president is focusing on good news as he probably should, we need good news. as an african-american that worked hard building a better economy for an entire nation, specifically making sure african americans were part of that process, we were celebrating frankly precovid-19, the 7 million new jobs created in this country, two-thirds going to african americans, hispanics, and to women. so i think the president is trying to get back to the place where we can have this honest conversation that a strong, positive economy is part of the foundation of what makes america tick, and frankly having a job is certainly one of the paths forward for racial justice. i think it doesn't solve the problem of racism. that's a far more complicated, far more layered problem because

it starts with the heart, starts with fear and a sense of low self esteem by those people that are racist, so the facts are that we can't solve all problems with a good economy, but it does help with the long term trajectory of this nation when we get education and economic mobility. >> you say it is bigger than the economy, and of course it is. and when black unemployment was trending to that all time low that we were at before coronavirus, black men were still 2.5 times more likely than white men to die during an encounter with police, according to a study we were showing. does the president of the united states, does he understand that, does he respect that? does he care about that? >> i actually think he does care. i know you and i may disagree on this point, obviously i watched your show, i think we do disagree on this point, but when we started the conversation

about criminal justice preform, we reflected on terrible damage done in the african-american community by the 1994 crime bill. the ability to make right those wrongs was part of the objective of this president. and while it may not be popular everywhere, it is specifically popular in the african-american community. i was there at the white house, many conversations, five years of work, three years led to the kra shend oh we got it passed. the disproportionate beneficiary of president trump's first step act are african americans, and that's good news. i want to see more of that. that's one of the reasons why i focused with the president on historically black colleges and universities. this is another place where if he wants to express his concern and strong, deep convictions to help the african-american community, one of the flag ships in our community are the hbcus that produced more generals,

teachers, more engineers than all the other schools nearly combined. it is a super success story. and i encouraged the president, and he said yes, we provided another billion dollars through the coronavirus cares package, so i'm hopeful that the president's good intentions will be reflected in a way people at least have an objective analysis of some things that he has done that has worked. >> senator scott, i appreciate your time. thank you very much, sir. >> yes, ma'am. have a good night. >> you too. next, dramatic new video of a police confrontation with protesters. a woman appears to be thrown to the ground. what happened before the cameras started rolling? she's outfront. cnn learning defense secretary mark esper and joint chief of staff mark milley are refusing to testify before congress about the military's role responding to protests. why? fruit bites multivitamins are made with farm grown apples as the first ingredient. and key nutrients you want.

blood poured from his head as an officer appears to be discouraged from checking on him. the officers in the front formation are not supposed to provide assistance because there are medics a little further back. >> reporter: it contradicts the initial explanation that he tripped on his own. two officers suspended without pay, the injured man in serious but stable condition. nearly 60 officers resigning from the unit, following the suspension. in georgia, video from the atlanta journal constitution shows a woman thrown down by police, breaking her collarbone during an arrest as her lawyer said she was trying to leave. >> they took my fiance, they pinned me against the car and slammed her, and then put us in the car, made us sit, and they made her sit on a broke shoulder

in handcuffs. >> reporter: atlanta police department hasn't responded to cnn requests for comment. >> he was a blessed child, okay? he was blessed and did not deserve to be murdered at the hands of the police. >> reporter: in tacoma, pawi washington, new video shows monroe ellis held down by police. ellis died that night last march in what the mayor called a homicide. >> he contacted the police. obviously was in distress. got out to talk to them. when he did that, he assaulted one of the officers. >> reporter: he can be heard on the 911 call saying i can't breathe before he died. >> said he couldn't breathe, rolled him on his side, he was breathing and talking. >> reporter: autopsy reports show he died from lack of oxygen, had meth in his system. all four officers are on administrative leave.

the mayor wants the officers fired and prosecuted. >> i don't get to take the skin color off every day, and my life could be taken. and today it stops in tacoma. >> reporter: as if to put an exclamation point on the really tough couple of weeks they've had here in minneapolis, thousands of protesters took to the streets once again today demanding justice, despite gains they made. these are the first steps in a very, very long marathon. back to you. >> thank you very much. outfront, amber jackson, you saw her in that piece being body slammed by an atlanta police officer. she's with me on the phone. i'm also joined by her and her fiance's attorney. i appreciate both your time. amber, let me start with you, explain what happened here. you and andres were in atlanta,

marching with protesters. we'll show again the video that we have of what happened with the officer. tell us about it. what led to that moment when the video shows you being slammed to the ground? >> well, first we were at the continued protest, and then we went to the second protest at lenox. you know, i saw there's something i didn't agree with, so me and my fiance headed home. you know, i removed the barricade, and i get back in the car. all of a sudden i could see hands out my window, trying to snatch me out. snatches me out, pretty much slams me down. we weren't part of any of the looting or anything. we were peacefully protesting and once that didn't -- wasn't

there, we pretty much were headed home. >> so molly, the atlanta police department hasn't responded to our request at this point for comment. you know, the president of the georgia naacp calls for the resignation of the police chief over this incident. do you think that goes too far or not far enough? >> i believe that -- >> i absolutely think that there has to be an escalation. we also represent the young man from morehouse, his girlfriend, they were assaulted last saturday. there's this ongoing pattern of misconduct and brutality at the hands of the atlanta police department. so until there's a demonstration by the chief of police that this won't be tolerated, it will kin. she has been in uproar about the six officers that have been charged in the assault of the

two college students. she has to support the law. she has to support the prosecution of officers under her watch who are doing this level of police brutality, and if she doesn't, then she should go, she should resign if she feels she has to blindly support officers that brutalize our young people. >> amber, you're a dental technician, now you can't work because you have a broken clavicle. i know you're also in pain. what happens from here for you? you're now out of work, tell us? >> well, i'm a dental hygienist, have my bachelor's degree in dental hygiene. as you know, we need our hands. you need your shoulders. you need your back, stomach, you need everything. and the fact that, you know, that was taken from me, it is

very life changing and eye opener. >> how long is the recovery from your injury, i understand you have been told it is not going to be short, is that right? >> right. i still haven't had the surgery. right now, my clavicle is broken. so i'm in pain as of right now. >> has the police department responded at all to you about the violence? you see the image of amber being thrown, it is hard to watch, i can't imagine how it is for amber to have to rewatch that, but she was obviously thrown very hard. >> absolutely. and what's disturbing is this video has been out for seven days. so at the very least you would think that a statement would have been issued shortly after the video was released and made

public, and there would have been some communication to the public that hey, this particular officer is on desk duty while we investigate. we have received no word. as far as we know, he's still on the street, moving around with young people who are protesting, and this is why they're out in the street, to be brutalized when you're struggling to try to get america to understand the fear, the pain and the anguish that we are all in as a result of police brutality and then during that protest you are brutalized. it is nonsensical. >> i appreciate your time. i hope for your speedy recovery that you can get back to your job you worked so hard for. >> thank you. next, barbara starr learned how close president trump was to calling in u.s. paratroopers

growth. go back to having greatest economy in the world, not even close, been talking about a "v," this is better, this is a rocket ship. >> when we look at claims and other numbers that track unemployment, this was out of nowhere right? ast astroid. this is good as it seems? >> 41 million people filed for unemployment since mid-march, only 21 million on continuing claims. what happened to the other 20 million? ppp, payment protection plan. employers got their loans, and part of the rules is they have to hire back the staff, spend

75% of the loan on the salary. lot of people were called back to work, not working but called back, and getting paid through their employer. that's better than getting unemployment insurance, you're still engaged in your job. now the question becomes what happens when the loans run out. has the economy recovered enough so employers feel that staffing levels are justified or will we see another round of layoffs? such an unprecedented time, we'll have to wait and see how much the economy does recover as restart progresses. >> so ppp worked the way it should. but there's no demand for their job, paid to not work in many cases. so they did just stretch out the terms of the ppp loans, they have longer to do that. when are we really going to

know? >> 24 weeks or end of the year to use up all the money. before it was eight weeks to get everybody back. probably won't know until the fall whether -- once the economy is fully restarted and we start talking about it in past tense, restarted, we'll see how many people are called back to work, how many businesses have failed, how many people who think jobs are temporarily furloughed are permanently. how many are laid off pause restaurant with 50 employees only needs 30 when they start going. so several months. this is better than the alternative, us printing 20% unemployment but it's to be continued story with everybody in holding pattern, getting paid through their employer, not necessarily to work but wait and see what happens with the restart. >> basically another six months
