good evening. at a moment of sweeping change in this country, on the question of race and justice, the president of the united states, today, signalled his resistance to it and showed in ways we'll talk about tonight how out of step he appears to be with where a significant part of the country now is. he's been building up to this for days now as senior advisers battled over whether he should give some kind of address on the subject. and one cabinet secretary said, stay tuned. >> i believe you're going to be hearing from the president this week, on this topic, in some detail. and i -- i would ask you, maybe, to reserve judgment until after he focused on officers in the

line of duty. he said tense of millions of desent americans as racists or bigots and described using force to clear protestors, quote, like a knife cutting butter. >> they went in and influenced like a knife cutting butter right through. tear gas and probably some other things and the crowd dispersed and went through. it was a short evening but if you're going to have to really do a job, if somebody's really bad, you're going to have to do it with real strength, real power. i said, we have to dominate the street. >> top mayor tear rio figuresal in the u.s. is apologizing for his role in that infamous photo op last week. he joins a growing number of officia officials. cnn's jim acosta with that. >> reporter: this is a no

apology tour for president trump who's still standing by his administration's response to the protests following the police killing of george floyd. >> we have to have law and order. >> at a church in dallas the president speaks about law and order. >> to get shot for no reason whatsoever because they're wearing blue. they get knifed, you saw that the other night. horrible thing. >> contrast that with the chairman of the joint chiefs of staff, mark milley. millidre milley said he crossed the line. my presence in that moment and in that environment created a perception the military were involved in politics. as a commissioned uniformed officer it was a mistake that i've learned from.

i sincerely hope we all learn from it. >> reporter: don't tell the president. our great national guard troops could hardly believe how easy it was, a walk in the park one said. protesters, agitators, antifa and others handled it very easily. milley doesn't sound like he was on the same page. >> that is why we serve. >> reporter: but the president is warning of more harsh actions in seattle. the mayor is being taunted and blogged. take back your city now. this is not a game. a man who is totally incapable

of governing. go back to your bunker. the president risks further inflaming tensions with a rally next week in tulsa, oklahoma. the scene of one of the worst massacres in u.s. history. the date of the rally, june 19th. also known as june-t. the white house says the -- >> the white house is working on rectifying injustices. so it's a meaningful day to him. >> the president is not budging on whether to rename u.s. military bases honoring defeated confederate generals even as some top officials -- >> we decided to change some. >> he decided to pit us. >> joe biden who's blasting the president's handling of race relations says he has a bigger worry about mr. trump. >> my greatest concern, my

single greatest concern. this president is going to try to steal this election. he said all mail-in ballots are fraudulent while he sits behind a desk and writes his mail-in ballot. they said the president's rally will pose a risk for trump supporters at the event. supporters are being told they can enter the rally at their own risk, jim acosta, cnn, white house. >> jim mentioned how president trump is promising to take back the city of seattle from protesters who have occupied some streets in front of a police briefing. protesters it an awe tonneau house. >> let the governor do it.

he's got great national guard troops. he can to it. one way or the other it's going to get done. those people are not going to occupy a major portion of a great city. >> seattle's mayor who said the president should go back. >> it shows a complete lack of understanding. they're fighting complete domination. him his response is bebellacose. he does not understand what is happening in america and he is desperately trying to start the old fights and old division that put him in power in the first

place. the u.s. has 25% of the world's population but it has 25% of the world's coronavirus. in five states numbers spiked by 50% or more. still many state and local leaders continue reopening. florida has just reported 1,000 new cases a day for the past week. on thursday soared to the gradest number of new cases yet. on the same day the governor unveiled a plan to reopen schools. >> reporter: as they embrace summer, health experts are focusing on disturbing new data trends. >> somehow as a country we have determined hundreds of thousands of americans dieing is okay.

>> reporter: more than 170,000 new covid-19 cases by october 1st. >> we had a huge spike in hospitalizations. >> reporter: texas, one of at least a dozen states. our hospitals are really struggling. >> reporter: nearly 80% of arizona's icu beds are the next story. that was why we were emphasizing why this occurs. >> reporter: in some places the curve is not flattening. in south south, daily counts have been rising. much of the wefs and -- >> if we handle them well, we

could be okay. if not, then we have a significant problem. >> iowa's state fair postponed for the first time since world war ii. no butter cows. the coachella canceled. the u.k. boosting the case of wearing a mask. >> it is consistent with several other studies which essentially show that. >> in missouri, two hairstylists who worked with 140 clients while symptomatic did not infect them. health officials now taking a closer look and in chicago a successful double lung transplant for a woman who's been six weeks on a ventilator.

>> yesterday she smiled and told me one sentence, see said, doc, thanks for not giving up on me. >> joining me is a doctor speaking about medicare. what do you make about what seem to be some pretty alarming spikes of the virus in a number of states. what do you make of that? >> well, i think it's emblematic of the fact that we are still in the first wave of coronavirus and we still have a president who has refused to step responsibility. we're still testing less than half of what we should be testing each day.

states without significant numbers are showing up with significant numbers as they're reopening under the guise of a president who hasn't taken ownership. >> what do you think about a rally and tulsa's own seven day infection curve is soaring right now. >> yeah. this president is very concerned about his standing in political polls. he's tired of the protests over racial injustice so i think he just wants to get back outen the road and stroke his own ego. >> i was going to say, would you

want to be near one? >> no. i've been at black lives matter. the president hef self that wearing a mace mast could be a breathing ground. again, black lives matter protests are about inequity. these are political rallies. the president is worried about his first few collections. >> some modeling is suggesting it's still at the moment an aspect of what they call seasonal protection in effect until perhaps august. >> i think there's likely something to it. in the case of droplet spread of

the virus, we know the drob lets will be bigger, they don't spread as being indoors and outdoors, indoors could be a mode of transportation. the president having indoor rallies is highly concerning. >> are you seeing just generally a sense of complacency around the country? i know in my own life seeing and interacting with people who seem to have become numb to this whole -- they feel the danger is perhaps over a long run. you've seen that sort of complacency? >> yeah, when i go to a grocery store it seems like less than half are obeying.

and i think a lot of that is because of all of the hard work we did and social distancing, we didn't see this outside of new york, detroit, new orleans, i think people think it was over blown. that is why we were able to flatten that curve and not represented. i'm worried we're going to see more spikes going online soon. >> i know you're concerned about it, too. it certainly bothers me. there's been studies showing people who are under insured, and they'll sofr from covid a lot worse than others.

they're less likely to seek treatment. how does this play into what we're seeing now? >> as a 20 year emergency condition, people haven't been able to inform their issues. covid-19 is a disease where you can feel fine one day, you could be severely hypoxic and carry a ventilator. we don't know how many stay home and die. >> doctor, always great to have you on and the work you're doing. appreciate it. >> take a quick break. when we come back our "cnn newsroom," fears of that second

wave of coronavirus sent the latest. when we come back. can my side be firm?

we can't shut down the economy again. if you shut down the economy you'll create more damage. not just economic damage. there are other areas and we've talked about this of medical problems and everything else that get put on hold. >> the u.s. treasury secretary steve mnuchin telling cnbc the country can't shut down again despite rising virus numbers in several states. there was stunning news out of london a short time ago economically. the u.k.'s gross domestic product fell more than 20 pergs percent in april alone. the largest monthly record fall on record. the dow taking more than 1800 points. its worst day since march. the chairman says the economic future is highly uncertain and warns of a long road to

recovery. cnn's john defterios is live for us in abu dhabi. before we get down, i wanted to play what larry cud low said about a second coronavirus threat in the united states. let's listen to that. >> there's talk in the market. go talk to deborah birx. she doesn't seem to think so. mind you, we are testing much more. so that's one point. you may find a pickup in cases. hospitalizations have increased. the u.s. has the biggest coronavirus numbers. >> larry cut low was trying to

play down the second wave. this was just a bad market day. 2 million cases is alarming. the death toll has been a huge challenge. jerome powell, the federal reserve board chairman said we have a contraction of 6.5%. at unemployment rate above 9%. those could change depending on the velocity of the u.s. futures, the remaining is stable. we are overdue. if you look at europe, we've lost 4% rita cross the board. down at the beginning. now we're above the line across the board. i'd like to go back to 1996 and

alan greenspan. we went up 44,000 until last week until we saw the steloff today. all clear saling. we're finding 9 world is stuck at the moment. speaking of which, the u.k., this gdp drop, wow, i think in two months they've lost 18 years of growth. what is the take away both for the u.s. and brittain because they were both slow to respond in paying the biggest price?

>> i think we're in denial about the threat of the covid virus. the first two to four weeks need to be taken extremely seriously. i was in the u.k. the first couple of weeks of march. they were pretending this would not be something that would hit a city the size of london of 9 million people. now there's pressure on him. there is no promising sec for. the education on the computer. this is the tally going back to 1987 and then we find out they've made a case against the umpt a.h. numbers. it's asking tourism visitors to self-isolate for two weeks.

that is not feasible. brexit 2021 is right around the corner. the u.k. is at 60 million and they're going to have to realize that the day of reckoning is coming soon and they'll be recovering from today's challenge, which is the pandemic. >> oh, yeah, brexit, forgot about that. john defterios. is 2020 done yet? no. appreciate it. we'll take a short break here on "cnn newsroom." >> it's a long overdue move. >> confederate symbols falling. there's a movement for civil war remnants in the south.

>> reporter: a national rowing conning on race could be the end for the last remaining symbols of america's dark history of slavery. in cities across the south statues showing military leaders of the confederacy, protests have requested for a sea change. >> it's long overdue in this country. >> reporter: it's the very issue that grew people to charlottesville, virginia, nearly three years ago. today a massive shift. >> it's time to heal. richmond is no longer the capital of the con fed der ra si. the commander was a man of his time who faurt to continue the

enslavement of black people. and in so doing set our nation on a course of destruction. >> the marine corps banning the battle flag and nascar following suit. fans will no longer be able to fly that flag in the stands. >> no one should feel uncomfortable. get them out of here. >> reporter: the changes are sweeping through pop culture. lady antebellum is changing their name to lady a. we can make no excuse for our lateness to this realization that the name been put into context. now a push from military leaders to strip the names of rebel generals from military bases. >> i don't have an emotional

attachment to the names of those bases. >> reporter: former army general david petraeus said it's time to remove the names like benning and brag from the military institutions. president trump tweeted that the bases represent a history of winning, victory and he would not worry about it. it may be too late as some republican lawmakers say the time for change has come. >> you don't want to forget what's happened in the past but at the same time that doesn't mean that we should continue with those businesses, with the him in against. who's to blame, an associate

professor joins me now. she's president of african-american intellectual history society. doctor, it's an honor to have you and have the benefit of your knowledge and history. we are seeing a lot of shifts in american society. seems like we have the police department banning some choke holds. some budgets are coming and you have big changes in public opinion on black lives matter. does it look to you like meaningful change is happening? so often it does not. >> yes, i do think it looks like meaningful change. i think certainly this is about the first time we've been at a place where we've been demanding changes's and i think this is a moment where people are actually open to the possibility. i think this is the moment where people are for the first time i think at least collectively at the national level talking about

the idea of defunding the police, that they are at least considering the possibilities and so i think we're moving in the right direction. >> you write about the history of black rebellion against police violence. we have limited time. what do we learn from history that applies today in what we are seeing play out? >> one of the key lessons i think that has to be emphasized in the moment is that mass protests actually work. they work because in the end people come together and they push the issue and they're able to not only change public opinion but they're also able to get power to move in the right direction. i think we've seen that in the '50s and the 60s as much as we like to believe people make decisions at the highest level because they feel compelled to,

most of the time, i think this has great potential to radically change society in so many ways. >> i found it interesting reading your material that you also write a lot about specifically the role of black women. we're not talking about in the '60s, we're going way back. >> yes. one of the things that i argue is that women have always been central to black protest movements across the globe. we can go much further back. i focus primarily on the 20th century. i think we're seeing similar themes today certainly looking at, for example, the black lives matter. we've seen them, current areas and across the globe.

>> president trump has often shared it. this most recently in safe. the mayor said go back to your bunker. how helpful or damaging are the president's positions on all of this? >> i think it's unhelpful because at this moment it's already a very tense climate and i think what we need from trump is not to instigate further or make decisions or do things that will cause more and more attention. i think some of the rhetoric of the way he has been addressing these concerns. it only has the potential to cause more problems. >> let's stick with the history thing here, the military bases. the issue of naming them.

the president tweeted out earlier, i just want to read it to people here. seriously fired -- we train to win two world wars. hopefully our great senators won't fall for this. republican he republican committee. what is your take on why the president would be against getting rid of these names on military bases that are for what many people considered tres son news. my sense is he does not have a full grasp of the history. in thinking about the role of the confederacy and in this case we're talking about military bases. it's very much linked to the discussion we're having now about confederate monuments.

when you understand the history, you underthe context. these names, these ideas of black seniority. if you see it through that lens then you understand why people are going to push to remove monuments, why they will push to rename mill you are tear you. >> thank you so much. >> thank you for having me. we'll take a quick break. when we come back, thousands of complaints. cnn disciplines. who holds the l.a.p.d. accountable.

now a cnn investigation into the long history of complaints against police officers in minneapolis, minnesota. cnn senior investigative respondent drew griffin reports. >> i can't breathe. >> reporter: in the midst of this video that horrified a nation, a bystander called out badge numbers. >> 1987. >> i played it out and listened this was that 1087. at that point i knew it was derek chauvin. >> george floyd had been dead 12 hours. michelle gross who has a minneapolis group called communities divided was about to tell the world who killed him. >> when i saw the name i said, oh, him. i wasn't surprised because when you start to see the same officers over and over again, their names lodge in your brain. >> reporter: for two decades her organization has been tracking complaints against minneapolis police. the data is limited.

investigative details not public but the outcomes are clear. scroll down data you'll see complaint after complaint closed with no discipline. minneapolis police have racked up 2,013 complaints of those 31 ended in serious discipline. just 1.5%. >> we have so failed to address police conduct in this community. it made it really inevitable that somebody was going to die this way. derek chauvin has 18 complaints. to you thao has 6 complaints. the city and officers denied any wrongdoing in thao's case and settled for $25,000 and thao remained a cop.

minneapolis police have a long history of allegations of excessive force, lawsuits and even intervention from the federal department of justice. police chiefs, city councils, mayors come and go without fixing the problems. >> if i had an answer we wouldn't be in this mess today. >> r.t. fryback was mayor from 2002 to 2012. he fought to bring in minority officers, change the police chief and better training to handle the mentally ill. >> when we see over and over again the data, the complaints filed that went nowhere and continue to go nowhere, i really have to question whether or not there was a sincere effort to change it. >> that's the right question. i don't want to leave the

impression i didn't try but i didn't get the job done. >> if we think the problem is policing is bad in the united states, we've missed the point. >> what is the point? gov says it's entire swath saying lacking jobs, lacking good education and he says let's begin using data forfar more than law enforcement. >> i'm talking about measuring everything we need to to ensure those communities can be healthy, safe and powered. police are the spark. >> powder keg that erupted with the protests but have been building for decades. >> the city of minneapolis says most complaints are low level and in fact in 300 cases officers received coaching instead of actual discipline. but how coaching is applied is

unclear. it's certainly not transparent. a former police officer said one of her officers was coached for bad behavior. drew griffin, cnn, atlanta. the white house is trying to explain president trump's controversial decision. his first post lockdown rally set to happen on a day that means. and honest bidding site. an ipad worth $505, was sold for less than $24; a playstation 4 for less than $16; and a schultz 4k television for less than $2. i won these bluetooth headphones for $20. i got these three suitcases for less than $40. and shipping is always free. go to dealdash.com right now and see how much you can save. robinhood believes now is the time to do money.

protestors are anxious, june 19th, known as june teenth, the day which marks the end of slavery. >> knowing the comments he makes and how he speaks to people, i just don't see it being very positive, especially not for our community. >> reporter: senator kamala harris is decidedly more blunt, this isn't just a wink to white supremacists, he's throwing them a welcome home party. the white house staunchly defending the date and that location. african-americans are very near and dear to his heart and he wants to highlight what he's done for them. >> it's a meaningful day for him and it's a day where he wants to share some of the progress that he's made. >> reporter: tulsa is also reeling from the racial tensions that the president has been known to stoke. a city police major being blistered by the mayor and his black leaders about the rates of

police shooting african-americans in tulsa. >> this is not where we should be. >> reporter: the major refused to apologize. travis yates said that he meant systemic policing and racism doesn't exist he said it is our sin nature. he said that he stands by his comments and added he was quoting research. last week tulsa police were criticized when they arrested a black teenager and handcuffed another for jay walking on a street that had no sidewalks. >> why are you putting handcuffs on him? all he was doing was jay walking. then you have to do that. >> it all comes against the backdrop of a horrible moment in history that tulsa has never recovered from. in 1921 a white mob massacred hundreds of black residents of tulsa, torched several businesses and homes. the terrifying act depicted in

the hbo series watchman. >> one local african-american leader says they will stunt tuls satisfy's got it. this is colored water. on holidays we were trying to do all of the things we were trying to do. >> reporter: president trump's campaign manager defended june teenth. as a party of lynn come republicans are proud. given the fallout over the president's handling of the george floyd killing and the two racially divisive idea -- >> thanks for spending part of your day with me. i'm michael holmes. i appreciate your company.

in new york. the more america embraces change the harder the president seems to fight it. he's campaigning on a slogan of keep america great but a cultural reckoning is crashing down all around him. president trump keeps denying systemic racism even exists. >> we have to work together to confront bigotry and prejudice wherever they appear but we'll make no progress by falsely labeling tens of millions of decent americans as racists and bigots. >> quietly and consistently some of the president's closest allies are starting to abandon him. only two republicans oppose the idea of renaming bases. the president is refusing to entertain the idea even though his own defense secretary was open to
