i said i was actually more emotional when my house and andrea's house agreed on the bills because that's when we knew that we were going to be able to get it done. at that tonight it was just the mechanical process of getting the bills passed but when we agreed on the package of legislation that the governor has said that he is going to sign, that's when i was emotional because growing up as a young, black man, there's times that i had not so positive interactions with the police. i've had not so positive interactions with the police as the speaker of the assembly. they didn't know. i never mentioned anything. growing up when you heard the stories of anthony bias and shawn bell and eric garner, i felt that could be me. i think that that is a reason why this is really started to really hit at the hearts of people that like i said enough is enough is enough is enough.

so i'm happy that we are here where we are today but we have so much more work to do and again my heart just goes out to all of the families, all of the mothers, who had to suffer through this and, you know, constance graham, constance malcolm said to me that every time this happens and i'm sure miss carr and miss bell will say every time one of these stories happens you relive what happened with your son again so we're hoping that what we have done will not have other families have to go through what these families have gone through. so i'm just happy that the assembly was able to be part of the solution. thank you, governor. >> thank you. >> but i just wanted to mention, too, reverend sharpton who's a leader on this, ridiculed for this. you know? sometimes it's difficult standing alone but, you know

what? rev, after 30-something years of you leading this, you know, you are not alone. leaders sometimes have to be alone. jesus was alone. so i just want to thank you for your leadership throughout all of these years. >> thank you. >> well said. thank you, mr. speaker. can you put up the list again on the list? the speaker said and the senate leader why now? what happened now? why not 1999? that is the question. to me i hear why did it take so long? i think it wasn't just about mr. floyd's death. i think it was the cumulative impact. i think all the names on that list did not die in vain. i think it took that repeated

articulation to get the country to this point. reverend sharpton on every one of those situations was out there making this point all over the country. all over the country. and finally, finally the country heard. but the reason we're here today, make no mistake, is because reverend sharpton and good people across this country were out there making the point every time over and over and over again. so eric garner did not die in vain. sean bell did not die in vain. it took, it took a nucmber of lives unfortunately, a number of injustices unfortunately but each one was a part in getting to today. and it was reverend sharpton

standing up and making sure that people of this nation heard every time, every injustice happened. and that, that, reverend, is a special ability, a special contribution. and you have been there year after year after year and we all respect your effort. we thank you for what you have done. we thank you for your voice. which the nation has heard. this state had heard. and not only -- >> we are listening right now in to new york governor cuomo there with as he's talking about al sharpton, the leaders of the state legislature announcing moves toward police reform saying he is signing executive order that requires local governments in the state to develop and reinvent their police -- a plan to reinvent the police programs requiring that

all local governments pass those, enact the plans by april 1 or they will not be eligible for any additional state funding. let me bring in cnn's bryn gingras following developments in the moves and calls, demands for change in new york and what this moment means. br bryn, what is the significance of what we heard from the governors and the state legislative leaders? >> this is a moment. we saw it with our colleagues in the streets tacking about those moments where the tide has turned. well in the state of new york, this is one of those moments because these bills that are going to get the governor's signature shortly, think' not new bills. they've been brought up for several years, significantly also when in 2014 when eric garner died at the hands of a police choke hold bills were trying to get passed and now they're getting passed and they're done quickly, only a few weeks after the murder of george

floyd so i want to tick through this ten-bill reform package that the governor will sign and highlight a few. one of them is going to be named or is named after eric garner, not only banning the chokehold but criminalizing it. if a police officer in the state of new york uses the chokehold and causes an injury or a death then they are -- it is possible they will be charged and face 15 years in prison with a felony charge so that's very significant. another one is a big one that was called for after the death of eric garner, and that's the reversal of statute that protects police's records and puts them on the same level of state employees like teachers. criminalizing false race-based 911 calls. this one of course getting a lot of attention recently because of that incident that happened in central park where a white woman

called 911 saying she was being threatened by a black man bird watching and asked her to put the dog on a leash and another one that's getting attention here in new york and then you heard the governor there saying a special investigator within the state's attorney general's office is going to be the one who now investigates any police related deaths so someone that is independent, again ten bills in all and just a few of them but he is about to sign all of those and such a significant move and then of course going on top of that, kate, like you described with the executive action telling all local police departments in the state of new york, about 500 of them including the nypd saying they need to have significant modernization, reform and quickly and not only a plan but they need to actually make it into local law or else they lose possibly state funding. kate?

>> yeah. will effectively seeing less funding. however you want to put it but that's how to make things work coming to this type of thing. bryn, thank you so much. really appreciate it. so now to the other major story today, the coronavirus pandemic and a stark reality check of where the country stands. state leaders are pushing across the country ahead with reopening plans, plans aimed at getting the economy back and as we have seen, though, since memorial day, the weather is better and people are ready to get out and about but this is what reality actually looks like. the three states looking at right here, texas, arizona, florida among the first and aggressive with the reopening plans with regard to getting the economies back all three of them are seeing a steady rise in cases since memorial day and not just cases, a handful of states are seeing a jump in a particularly troubling data point, hospitalizations. it's a trend in the wrong

direction and it has top experts concerned. >> covid is not taking a summer vacation. >> it is stunning to me we have this much suffering and death and not doing enough about it. >> today the united states isn't focusing on the most important trends and we are giving too much weight to numbers that have little meaning and less use. we have to change our focus to tracking indicators that will help us understand where the pandemic is. >> joining me right now is dr. jonathan rhiner, a professor at george washington school of medicine and a medical analyst. great to have you. you could probably offer legal advice, as well. i was highlighting a few of the states seeing troubling trends right now, sparking the warnings of experts and colleagues of yours in texas, arizona and florida.

what is your warning right now? do you have a warning? what are you concerned about in this moment? the smart people seem to be not happy with the trends they're seeing right now across the country. >> right. a lot of people are worrying that there's a second spike in the pandemic coming. but what i'm here to say is that the first wave has never gone away. we're not done with the first wave. our attention might have turned to other things in the last several weeks and the administration may be trying to pivot away from this but the pandemic continues to kill americans at a rate of a little less than 1,000 people a day and leveled off there for last several days. 114,000 americans have died, over 2 million infections and the virus isn't going away. we are seeing it now rise in places where it was low to begin with, arizona, texas. a very steady rise. record number of cases. it was thought that maybe some of the increased cases were just

an art fact of increased the testing but we know that increased hospitalizations, that that's not the case and also an indicator of the test positivity rate which is basically the percent of patients who we test that are positive. you want that to continue to decline. it's been rising in those states so we know that the increased cases reflect an increased spread of the virus and this comes at a time where people have been trying to get out and there's been a lot of mixed messages isn't in the united states about masks. >> that in particular. but honestly, mixed messages on everything from social distancing tomasings. case in point as you were talking about, i'm very interested to get your take, white house economic adviser larry kudlow weighed in on kind of where we are as a country, the idea of a second wave let me play you what he said.

>> i'm not the health expert. but i'm the so-called spike, i spoke to our health experts at some length last evening. they're saying there is no second spike. let me repeat that. there is no second spike and as secretary mnuchin said yesterday in testimony, we are not going to shut down the economy. >> what do you say to that? >> yeah. mr. kudlow famously said that the virus contained three months ago so he has a habit of being wrong about matters that involve medical pandemics. let's just say that the virus continues to spread across the country. it is spreading at a rate of about 20,000 new cases per day. and it's done that because we haven't taken the very simple precautions of reminding people that if you go out into public you need to have a mask on. thousands and thousands of lives

could have been saved if people like mr. kudlow simply embraced that instead of pretending that the virus was going to go away. we have to face the harsh reality in some states to shut down again. in the icu we spend a lot of time picking the right time to take a patient off of a ventilator because what we have learned is that if you take a patient off the ventilator too soon and then have to reintubate them a day or two later it's an enormous step back and i use that metaphor because we have to face that in places like arizona running out of the hospital beds. running out of icu beds. if we're not careful about how we reopen and we don't continue to test and test and contact trace we're going to have to face the harsh reality of going back to shutdown and there is no political will to do that. >> and that's what i was going to say. on one hand it is i think a sad tragedy of what is happening

with this pandemic that masks have become a political statement if you will. but do you think -- do you see -- i have a -- i really have a hard time seeing if there's desperate need for it that states will shut back down again after they started to reopen and do you think it comes to that because of the trajectory things are heading? >> if you run out of hospital beds and run out of icu beds what choice would a state like arizona have? they have to shut down. in japan, on the island of hokkaido, they did a shutdown to put down the virus and opened too quickly and what they chose to do is shut down again. and that's how they extinguished the virus. these are the hard choice that is we have to make but we have to have unified leadership that prioritizes exteinguishing the pandemic. we do a great disservice to the

public health of the country pretending to go back to normal. >> consistent public messaging is paramount all the time coming to any major national crisis but especially something like this. good to have your message, doctor. thank you. >> my pleasure. the national moment on race that the country's experiencing right now is prompting major shifts in corporate america and main street america but the president is sticking with what he thinks works. he won in 2016 running largely on division. he today continues to do that. now the president is going against the advice of some of his own aides and advisers to shift his tone, adapt his tone to respond to the coast to coast protests and outcry over racial injustice. still, the president refuses. kaitlan collins at the white house and joining us now. where are the discussions not

that everyone knows that the president is the president is the president. donald trump is donald trump through and through and the discussions behind the scenes to try to react appropriately to this moment? >> reporter: yeah. but donald trump is also five months away from re-election and so aides are trying to help the president make his way through this in a way they don't hemorrhage black support or suburban women voters trying to corner the market on before he goes up against joe biden in the election. that's why this moment is so notable but also just how culturally the country seems to be shifting, public opinion on this. you are seeing the outcries for police reform, from people across the nation and you know what you have seen with that and the changes that you are seeing happen, you know, not only with corporations but other institutions, you are seeing it in sports play out, the president has been an outlier in a lot of this. nascar is banning the confederate flag, the nfl is apologizing to these players who were kneeling as a form of

protest and the president himself though is digging in on these same cultural fights which is something he's been doing, kate, but the question is does it still continue to work for him with his base this time and does it alienate him from the voters that he is going to need? those are the considerations of the president's political advisers have in mind right now and that's why they have been trying to craft an executive order that they're working on though it's still really not clear what exactly that executive order is going to look like when it comes to police reform but also, you know, they haven't said what they support on capitol hill. and that's critical because republicans are not going to get behadwin something unless they know it's got the president's support, as well. so those questions are the ones that remain as the president is continuing to dig in on these cultural battle that is he has like not renaming military bases named after confederate leaders and the question ultimately is does it work for him this time. some advisers believe man it could and still are saying that

they do not know the outcome will look like. >> good to see you. thank you. coming up for us, caught on camera, stunning video showing chicago police officers inside a congressman's office eating, drinking, napping while protests are raging outside. we'll talk to the congressman next. allergy muddlers... achoo! ...do your sneezes turn heads? try zyrtec... ...it starts working hard at hour one... and works twice as hard when you take it again the next day. zyrtec muddle no more.

now to midland, texas, where police released body camera footage showing the arrest of 21-year-old ty anders, detained after police say he ran a stop sign. in the now viral video you can see police with their guns drawn and at one point anders' 90-year-old grandmother steps in trying to intervenes. cnn's ed lavandera has more. >> reporter: when ty anders stepped out of the car in texas, he was surrounded by police officers, some with guns drawn.

the situation quickly intensified as witnesses gathered around. on may 16th, police say anders ran a stop sign and then made extreme attempts to allude police before pulling into the drive wae of his grandmother's home. >> exit the vehicle now. >> reporter: the young man emerges holding the hands in the air and visibly emotional. the officers try to get anders to move toward them. >> we're not going to shoot you. >> we need you to listen to us. stand up and walk back toward the vehicle. >> reporter: a bystander recorded. you can see at least six officers arrived as the witnesses try to tell him he's terrified. >> he's scared! he has guns on him. you see the black people shot? >> reporter: anders' elderly grandmother walking with a cane comes out of the house and stands next to her grandson as the commotion escalates.

>> bro! >> reporter: a few officers move in to handcuff anders on the ground and that's when the 90-year-old woman falls over her grandson. it's unclear why the elderly woman fell but she falls as one officer is swinging his leg over anders to finish handcuffing him and doesn't appear that the leg touches the woman. the young man's attorney said the grandmother was forced to the ground as offers. police say she appears to lose her balance. >> leave my child alone! >> reporter: ty was arrested and placed in a police car and charged with evading in a motor vehicle while police attempts to detain him. ed lavandera, cnn, dallas. >> thank you. chicago police investigating 13 of their own at the moment over an incident in the office of u.s. congressman after a congressman bobby rush's chicago

office broke in during a protest. when the congressman went back to look at security camera footage, this is what he saw. we'll show you. 13 chicago police officers in his office some of them sleeping, some talking on the phone. even eating his popcorn as looting and violent protests happened nearby. chicago's mayor speaking out called their actions of those officers disgraceful. democratic congressman bobby rush joins me now. congressman, thank you for coming in. what did you think when you saw this video? >> well, first of all, i am just delighted to be on your program this morning. i am tremendously emotionally moved by the video of the grandmother out putting herself, her life on the line in order to save her grandson. that is a very riveting

videotape and i am moved by that. again, once again, the chicago police department has revealed its true nature, its true character. they entered into my office without being invited. they in the midst of looting and rioting in the midst of their fellow officers being pummeled and roughed and violence thrown at them, all across the city, during those tumultuous days and here they are these 13 officers decided that they were going to abandon their posts and they were going to relax in my office in the midst of this chaos and confusion. they decided that they were going to use my drink and make

coffee for themselves and decided to eat my popcorn and eat my popcorn. so these popcorn police completely abandoned their fellow workers, abandoned the call, their sworn oath to serve and protect and they came into my office, some fell asleep. some were on the telephone. some had their feet up on my desk. and someone had their head down on my desk as their supervisors came to and fro in and out of my office. it was toetally reprehencible video and my mayor condemned the actions of these police

officers. and i really salute her. >> congressman, what do you want to see happen to these officers? the mayor says that there should be consequences. the police superintendent has suggested that they are definitely obviously are looking into it. would an apology be enough to you? >> well, an apology would first of all they should apologize to the citizens of this city. for in the heat of battle, in the heat of where in this city actually expressing some of its extreme trauma, where looting was going on, where business people were having their properties totally destroyed, these individuals need to apologize to the city of chicago for their cowardice, inaction, for their withdrawal from the

front line, for their retreat in the midst of these assaults. apologizing to the city, apologizing to their fellow officers, they owe their fellow officers an apology and they need to apologize. i will be open to minimally accept an apology toward them but i'm going to -- i have turned this matter over to the police superintendent. i think that he is an honorable man and we'll see what he comes up with. we'll see what kind of punishment he will mete out to the cowards on the police force. i don't really think -- i don't -- i tell you. i don't feel safe when the level of -- abandon their post. they deserted their responsibilities, their duties to america and the city of chicago. they deserted the responsibility and i don't really feel comfortable with them being on

the force. >> we'll see what happens with this investigation and then very interested to hear what your reaction will be when whatever disciplinary action if any comes of it. this is all part of a conversation that you have been part of, a fight that you have been part of for decades. the fight for social justice, against racial injustice. with that in mind i wanted to get your take on something that the president said yesterday when he was in dallas. on the fight for racial equality in the country, he was talking about it and suggested that fixing the problem really should be done quickly. listen to what he said. >> i think we're going to do it very easily, quickly and it will go very easily. >> as someone who -- i mean, one thing if you know anything about bobby rush is that you have --

about your long decades long fight as a civil rights activist. how do you respond to hearing that from donald trump? >> well, he is a man who is really in the throws of some type of insanity. i'm not sure exactly what -- i'm not a psychiatrist but he is a person who has lost his sense of reality. as you indicated, i grew up in the civil rights movement fighting police misconduct, police brutality and police murder. in 1969, my good friend and associate, someone of 1969, on the very next morning in the wee hours of the morning of december the 5th, they came to my apartment, also. didn't knock. shot my door down. if i had been in that apartment,

i would have been killed that very morning. i would not even be here. i don't take these things lightly. and i know that there's no quick and easy fix to the nation of police brutality and murder in this nation. we -- so the president is way off base. again, he is in need -- to me, he needs essentially a -- all right? he lies to himself. he lies to the american people. i think he's a pathological liar and there seems to be no sense of fairness, justice. not a good bone in his body so you know i'm at a point where i kind of really dismiss this. anything he says, anything he promises, anything he utters out of his mouth, you know?

to me is just like rubbish. i throw it into the garbage dump of what i call the donald trump pathological rubbish garbage mill. donald trump doesn't mean anything to me. he is not a president. he is a worst thing that's ever happened to the american presidency. he's the worst president including the president of andrew johnson who did nothing and someone i would consider the worst president of the united states. but andrew johnson said -- andrew johnson stands head and shoulders above president donald trump. >> congressman, thank you for coming on.

in the wake of the death of george floyd and the protests that followed there have been signs of a cultural shift occurring, particularly coming to signs and symbols of the confederacy. last two weeks statutes toppled or taken don. nascar banned all confederate flags at events and races. country music group lady antebellum changed to be lady "a" and tv networks pulling films leek "gone with the wind." joining me now david pilgrim, founder and director of the jim crow museum in michigan. it is great to have you here. i appreciate it. thank you very much. you have a unique perspective on this debate. what should stay? what should go? what they represent. you're a black man long fighting racism and a director of a museum of racism and uses

objects to promote social justice. how do you feel about all of these things being taken down or charged or renamed or banned? >> well, let me start by saying that we are an anti-racism facility and we believe that you can use objects of intolerance, in this case, racial intolerance, to teach. we have police officers, civil rights groups, scholars, teachers and others who come to the museum, we sit. we have difficult conversations. so i want to set that as the context. in terms of the monuments themselves, those monuments are -- they glorify the enslavement of black people. if it were possible to relocate them, physically move them to another place, and have them con tex julyized to tell the true story of the civil war and the

reasons it was fought then maybe there would be some value in keeping them but if that can't be done then i just prefer that they be destroyed. >> because there's a question. just plain and simply, like what can people learn from the statue of jefferson davis? >> well, you know, people talk about heritage, that it's not hate but it's heritage, but then i would ask the question what heritage are you celebrating? i do believe, though, that whether we use them to teach the lessons we are trying to teach or whether they are taught -- in other words, they're teaching lessons right now where they are but not the lessons we are trying to teach. >> can you weigh in on the entertainment side of this discussion? it's obviously a big part of all of our culture what we watch and see and listen to. "gone with the wind" out of circulation. lady antebellum changing the

name. what impact do changes like that j? >> first of all, racial stereotypes and caricatures reflect and shape attitudes toward people and of course movies, music have been primary ways that anti-black attitudes have been popularized in this culture. this was a little tough for me because we use movies, we use old music, the so-called cool songs, we use those as teaching tools and i think part of it is i'm just -- i'm an old teacher and i've seen that you can if properly contexted, you can use these objects to teach people. that's not a belief of mine. it's something that i have seen. >> yeah. it is -- it is more -- there's more texture to this

conversation on that front and that's why i'm so interested in speaking with you because i'm curious and i don't know your opinion on this. do you think it is -- does culture change policy or does policy change culture? do you have to get rid of the statue to get -- move toward dismantling racism or the other way around? >> yeah. so it's -- i would need an hour. obviously they are interrelated. you know, we have systemic racism in every major societal institution. we have it in our higher ed, we have it in the legal system. we have it in our churches. i mean, what we need is a prolonged, sustained conversation with accompanying actions. one of the things that breaks my heart during this period is that

it seems that it takes the horrific videotaped death of a black man to get this nation talking about race. you know? when i travel around people sometimes say if you would just stop talking about race, racism would go away. of course, that doesn't even make stupid sense. >> do people actually say that to you? >> absolutely they say it. but the reality is we do talk about race all the time but we don't tack about it in ways where ideas to be challenged where we have to listen to others. so we bring people in to the museum and we show them, for example, an mami jar and ask them, what does this mean? so for one person it's them thinking about time spent with a grandparent. or time, you know, some -- i don't mean this disrespectfully, a nostalgic feeling. for someone else like myself it represents the vestiges of

enslavement and the purpose and forgive the point here is the stable genius of the museum is that we put people together who have these different views and we have them begin conversations. >> yeah. having those uncomfortable conversations. david, i feel like i could talk to you for hours. thank you so much. you're a professor through and through. >> thank you. coming up for us, a reversal by starbucks on statements about black lives matter. what the company is saying now and what it means for their employees. dangerous.me tide pods child-guard pack helps keep your laundry pacs in a safe place and your child safer. to close, twist until it clicks. tide pods child-guard packaging.

at a time when america is hurting, as calls for change, justice and equality grow louder, companies are being challenged in a way they haven't been before. take starbucks as an example. in a memo reportedly sent to starbucks employees, it says that bar istas told not to wear anything that supports black lives matter moments. christina, what is going on here? >> reporter: that's right. a 180 for the coffee giant. earlier in the week as you mentioned they sent a memo to employees or advised that they could not wear material that supported black lives matter. now the company explained in that guidance that it was because of safety concerns, that there were agitators looking to take advantage of the movement and just create trouble. they sent this guidance saying

that there are agitators that misconstrue the fundamentals of the movement. but that sparked a backlash from employees saying, hey no, we want to be able to voice our support and wear pins and t shall have its with the black lives matter movement and took days before starbucks reversed its decision said the employees could wear this stuff and actually created a t-shirt in support of black lives matter and then it issued a tweet this morning saying until those t-shirts arrive we heard you want to show support so be you and wear your pin and t-shirt and trust you to do what's right while never forgetting starbucks is a welcoming place. but, kate, here's the thing. starbucks of all companies should be aware that its employees want to voice support

for movements like this. this is a company that has already faced racial tensions and challenges. two years ago you remember on your show talking about shutting down all of their u.s. stores for a few hours so that staff undergoing racial training because a white employee called the police on two black customers for no reason, a huge problem for the company and the company prided itself to changing and when i speak to black business leaders they tell me it's great that these companies are out there making statements and committing money to racial justice groups and want the see the cultures change and want to see that filtered up and when things look this happen you have to question whether or not the culture at the time has really changed and in this case, look, give starbucks credit. it will listen to employees. why did they make that decision in the first place, kate? >> yeah.

this after officers decided that that you were going to try to dees late the tension going between the protesters and the officers. things were heated, tear gas deployed and since the officers left things largely been peaceful. you have seen the president's tweets saying that the mayor of seattle and governor of washington to crack down. the mayor responding to the president's tweets. >> we have four blocks in seattle that you saw pictures of more like a block party atmosphere. it is not an armed takeover. it is not a military hunta. the chief of police was there with the command staff looking and assessing on operational plans. what the president threatened is illegal and unconstitutional and the fact that he can think he can just tweet that and not have ramifications is just wrong. >> reporter: while city leaders acknowledge that things have been peaceful there's a problem, the chief of the seattle department saying that the response time for officers for
