families who lost loved ones to this horrible, horrible virus. may they rest in peace, and may their memories being a blessing. follow me on twitter and instagram @wolfblitzer. erin burnett "out front" starts right now. the president signs an executive order on police reform but george floyd's family noticeably absent from the white house today. why? i'm going to speak to mr. floyd's brother. plus the search for joe biden's running mate, senator kamala harris is out front. let's go "out front." and good evening. i'm erin burnett. "out front" tonight, not enough. protests growing tonight after president trump signs an executive order on police reform, crowds gathering,

calling for change now the 22nd night running. the president making his announcement in the rose garden today but veered off course focusing on his own accomplishments and the economy as he did talking about the matter at hand. i want to be clear the order has possible good exceptions like ban on choke holds. the order also creates a national database to track officer misconduct. so, that's in the order. and then the president also met today with some families who lost loves ones to police brutality and racial profiling. in a moment i'm going to speak to the brother of george floyd who was not in that meeting n. trump fashion, the president overshadowed his own message of reform. inste instead of acknowledging the deep hurt and the calls for social justice and equality, he repeatedly defended police and attacked protesters. >> i strongly oppose the radical and dangerous efforts to defend,

dismantle and dissolve our police departments. without police, there is chaos. law and order must be further restored nationwide, and your federal government is ready, willing and able to help. in many cases, local law enforcement is underfunded, understaffed, and undersupported. americans want law and order. they demand law and order. they may not say it. they may not be talking about it, but that's what they want. >> the president then went on to attack his political rivals and praise himself. listen to this. >> president obama and vice president biden never even tried to fix this during their eight-year period. the reason they didn't try is because they had no idea how to do it, and it is a complex situation. nobody has ever delivered results like we've delivered. nobody's come close. we enacted landmark criminal

justice reform, something that nobody else could get done. they tried and they couldn't even come close. we got it done and we got it down powerfully. we secured permanent and record funding for hbcus, that's historically black colleges and universities, numbers that they never thought were possible. we expanded affordable options for better health care. we created opportunities zones with senator tim scott, billions and billions of dollars being brought into areas and neighborhoods that would never ever, ever be taken care of monetarily. we're fighting for school choice which really is the civil rights of all time in this country. we had best unemployment and employment numbers. think of that. in the history of our country. then we got hit by the virus

along with the rest of the world, and now i'm building it up again. here we go again. unless my formula is tampered with, we will soon be in a stronger position than we were before the plague came in from china. >> listing his accomplishments but not talking in detail about reform, the reform that so many protesters of all races across the nation have been hoping for and are again out on the streets hoping for tonight. kaitlan collins is "out front" near the white house. kaitlan, what are you learning about the important meeting the president had today where there are some loved ones to police brutality. >> reporter: this is the meeting before he came out to the rose garden. the white house said it was a mutual decision that the families didn't want to come out in front of the cameras. you heard him name several of the names of loved ones he met

with. one of them was antione rose. we've now heard from antione rose's mother who says she was not present, she did not go to that meeting with president trump, and she said she wouldn't go if she had been invited. we did hear from ahmaud arbery's family. they said they found the president very compassionate as he met with them behind closed doors later today. of course he came out to the rose gordon, gave the full-throated endorsement, and the executive order just encouraging the reforms. it doesn't mandate any kind of immediate action, and it is leaving the heavy lifting to congress here not only for some of the programs that the president outlined but also enforcement which the president and the white house has said will happen on a local level. so, really they're looking at congress. and as you know, on capitol hill, it is far from clear that they're actually going to pass any legislation right now at

this point. >> all right, kaitlan, thank you very much. and i want to go now to gorge floyd's brother, philonise floyd and benjamin crump, the attorney for the floyd family. i appreciate you taking the time. philonise, you never get a moment where you don't have to think about what happened here now for day after day after day. and now the president has this meeting with family who is lost loved ones to racial brutality and profiling, some go and some don't. you did not attend. why? >> until they sign the bill that sheila jackson lee has brought forth, i will. >> so, were you invited and chose not to attend? >> now, we just got back from the congress -- i'm sorry. >> i'm sorry, philonise. go ahead. >> hello? hello? >> yes, i'm sorry.

philonise, i was saying, did they invite you and you chose not to attend? >> i just got back from congress. >> mr. crump, i'm sorry. i interrupted you. i know you're obviously in two different locations. go ahead, sir. >> all i was saying was that philonise floyd just got from testifying before the united states congress where he made a passionate plea that this is our opportunity to get meaningful systemic reform to stop this police killings, unjustifiable killings of black people in america. and he's testified before the united nations tomorrow. and he wholeheartedly supports the legislation that has been put forth by the congressional black caucus because they have been dealing with this issue for decades, and they know what meaningful legislation needs to be passed that they can attach

george floyd's name to. and they don't want to do anything unless it's meaningful. >> and i know, philonise, you've made it clear obviously you believe in sheila jackson lee's legislation. i'm just trying to understand because the president said that he -- you know, that this was a very empathetic meeting, that he was listening to people. i know that is not how you felt about your phone call with him at all. do you -- if he had tried to extend an olive branch to try to include you in this, would you take that as a genuine offer to talk at this point or not from this president? >> erin, we don't want to -- >> well, i would like to defer that to my attorney. >> erin, we don't want to talk politics. they just want justice for their family. >> right. i understand that, mr. crump. i just am only asking because, you know, some people in that meeting are saying the president was very empathetic and really

trying to listen. others are saying he didn't. and i know it's important to see whether he's going to be willing to work on these reforms which you so passionately believe need to pass congress. >> well, we hope that the leader of our country will be sympathetic to families who lost loved ones needlessly and unjustifiably. however, as philonise said, when they sign the proposed legislation into law that sheila jackson lee and the congressional black congress has put forward, then that's when they will feel good about them doing something for george floyd, not just saying things but actually doing things to try to prevent other black people in america from being killed. we testified last week, they asked us about why we thought it was a crisis that needed congressional actions now, and i said if you don't now, there

will be in 30 days another black person killed unjustifiably by police. and that was on wednesday. two days later, erin, in atlanta, georgia, on friday night, rayshard brooks was then killed and another city was on fire. we need to do something now to change the culture and the behavior of policing in america today. >> and so the only thing we heard today, philonise, was this executive order where they incentivize police departments on the use of force, want to incentivize a ban on choke holds but not ban choke holds. they say if the officer's life is in danger is the case they are allowed to use one. they have the national officer database to track officer misconduct. is this a good start at all from how you see it, philonise? >> any time you can get one step closer to justice, anything can help right now because innocent people are being killed every

day. police officers' job is to serve or protect. they have to figure out are they protecting or serving. nobody should be in fear of any officer. >> so, ben, you know, derek chauvin had 18 prior complaints against him. 18 prior complaints . if that national database that the president ordered would have existed a month ago, would it matter. do you think it would have resulted in him not being on the force? do you think george floyd could still be alive today? >> that is our hope. and if they had prohibition against choke holds, you hope that would have saved his life. but as we said, erin, it wasn't just are the knee of derek chauvin on george floyd's neck that killed him. it was the knee of the entire minneapolis police department. it was the knee of the

discriminatory policing in america that killed george floyd. and this is why, this is our time right now. we have to take advantage of this moment to make these changes. >> so, philonise, there was something that the president said today addressed to you and other family who is have suffered such tragic loss. here is what he said. >> to all of the hurting families, i want you to know that all americans mourn by your side. your loved ones will not have died in vain. >> so, philonise, from what you see so far, are you concerned that your brother will have died in vain, or do you think that change really now is finally happening because of your brother? >> right now it's still a marathon. i'm still trying to see what's

going on in this world because i've seen time and time, nothing, no result. so, now, is enough enough? hopefully we can get to that stage where everything is right. but right now i still have to see. >> you know, i have seen you over the years fight tirelessly, and you have not given up and you have represented families and you have tried to make a difference. and here we are with these tragedies happening. do you feel that progress has been made? >> i think that this is the best opportunity that i've seen in my career in the aftermath of the killing, the tragic killing of george floyd, to make some real substantive change. i think it's a journey to justice, erin. all of these interviews we've done over the years, sometimes we take a step forward, then we

take a step back as often happens on a journey. but right now, right now, with all these protests, erin, going all over the country, all over the world people are protesting against racism and colorism and xenophobia and torture where these are not just american issues where these are global issues and we're all united in the name of george floyd. and this is our opportunity. i do believe we will get legislation. we just have to stay focused and keep demanding it. >> and legislation is what this comes down to to changing those laws. philonise, recently i spoke to congressman jim clyburn and we were talking about the various bills out there. i asked him if the senate puts forward a bill that does not include a ban on choke holds, would that be a non-starter for him? i thought his answer was interesting. here he is. >> i hate to call anything a non-starter because if you get

90% of what you want and that's one little thing is just 10%, you might go ahead and fight another day. i'm a great believer in lyndon johnson's old adage a half loaf is better than no loaf at all. >> philonise, do you agree? >> everybody can say what they want to say. like i just told you all i want is justice for my brother, and basically that's it. i don't want to see no more killing of innocent people. i just want justice for my brother. my brother pleaded for his life and he didn't get justice. i need that. >> all right. i appreciate both of your time tonight. thank you very much. >> thank you, erin. >> thank you. and next, the choke holds, what does trump's executive order really mean in practice about this practice that police departments across this country have now banned on their own. will his order change anything?

former police chief of detroit who said he could have been george floyd is "out front." plus kamala harris says trump's executive order misses the mark. what does she propose. and radio silence, president trump and dr. anthony fauci, not a word between the two of them in two weeks. why? it's time for the lowest prices of the season on the sleep number 360 smart bed. can it help keep me asleep? absolutely, it senses your movements and automatically adjusts to keep you both comfortable. and now, the queen sleep number 360 c4 smart bed is only $1,299, save $400. only for a limited time. your cells. trillions of them. that's why centrum contains 24 key nutrients to support your energy. so you can take care of what matters most. and try new centrum minis today. sweetheart, do my forearms look bigger?

[ grunts ] sorry. switch to progressive and you can save hundreds -- you know, like the sign says. can i find an investment firm with a truly long-term view that's been through multiple market cycles for over 85 years? with capital group, i can. talk to your financial professional or consultant for investment risks and information.

. tonight president trump touting his executive order on police reform as calls for racial justice enter their fourth week following the death of george floyd. the president's order stopping short of an outright ban on chokeholds that many have called for. >> as part of the new credentialing process, chokeholds will be banned except if an officer's life is at risk. and i will say we've dealt with all of the various departments, and everybody said it's time. we have to do it. >> "out front" now, the former police chief and deputy mayor of detroit isaiah mckinnon and laura coates. . laura, the president saying chokeholds should be banned except when an officer's life is in danger which is a subjective

manner. legally when you add that to it, what does that do? >> it doesn't change anything at all. the the subjectivity is the question many people have about the amount of benefit of doubt you give police officers. if it's already in the police officers' hands in terms of figuring out whether they are allowed to use a level of force, it's their judgment call. the president's statements have not changed that judgment call. it still allows for that really big caveat there that say ifs the officer subjectively and reasonably believes that he or she is in danger, they can perform what has been banned by so many. it doesn't do much to elevate the conversation or change the dynamic about reasonableness. >> chief, you recently wrote an op-ed saying you could have been george floyd and you call for a series of police reforms including a nationwide database which is part of the president's executive order. here's what he said.

>> under this executive order, departments will also need a share of information about credible abuses so that officers with significant issues do not simply move from one police department to the next. that's a problem. >> so, chief, how do you see this working? i mean, if there's a database, we were just talking to benjamin crump and philonise floyd, george floyd's brother. you know, would something like this have saved george floyd? >> no, i don't think so. i think it's -- look, the database is good, however, it's what's in the heart and the head of that individual officer. as laura just said, we need more than just saying this is wrong. we know it's wrong. we have rules and regulations within the police department. we have laws that says you can't do these kinds of things. but if it's in your heart, if it's in your head that you can do this and get away with it, it's going to continue to be

done. that's why the things that i've said to you before and i'll say now, it's important to have this database not only to look at what this officer has done but potentially will do. that includes the mental health screening. >> so, chief, several of the families who met with president trump today said they have been unable to recover damaged because of qualified immunity for police officers. there wasn't a single person in the room in the trump administration who committed to addressing this issue. senator tim scott that is leading the gop has said it's a poison pill. do you think it should be on the table, this issue of police officer immunity? >> if a police officer does something that's horribly wrong like kill someone, if a police officer knows that he or she can personally be liable instead of the city or the police department that he or she works for, then it stops a great deal of this.

i know this is something that police departments don't want, but the reality is they must be held accountable for the things they've done. look, the people who beat me up, the people who shot at me, i absolutely think that is the case for all the police officers who do these kinds of things. >> laura. >> qualified immunity is something that leads to such absurd results. justice society mai y justice sotomayor talked about it being a shield for police officers. there are several cases come before the supreme court, they've declined to hear any of them. they said because it was founded for frivolous lawsuits to guard against it, what happens is under the current jurisprudence, it says i have to prove i have a constitutional deprivation of rights but i have to show the court there was an exact fact pattern, not a similar one but an exact one, that this was a clearly established aspect of the law.

one thing the supreme court wanted to adhere, a woman hands her keys to police officers because they want to go into her house looking for a fugitive ex-boyfriend. then they go in and tear gas and bomb the house for hours on end destroying everything inside. she sues. the lower court says qualified immunity. you gave the keys. there's a clearly established pattern says if you give them the keys they can't tear gas your home. if you don't have a criminal prosecution that gives faith to people in justice and you don't have the ability to secure compensation through damages, if you don't have a lot of insent tif by police officering to avoid this sort of conduct and do the right thing. >> chief, we have the district attorney in atlanta saying charges could be filed against officers as soon as tomorrow in the death of rayshard brooks outside wendy's. we know charges could range from voluntary manslaughter to

murder. when you look at what happened there, what do you think happened, chief? >> first of all, i think in terms of one of the first things i said is you have to have a person not only who's in good shape but in good shape mentally. and what i saw was two officers who initially did a great job of conversing with him. and then i don't know what happened after that, but when someone takes whether it's a taser or whatever weapon, i always say you are there to serve and protect, not take someone's life. if someone's running away from you, let him run if it's not a felony. it doesn't make any sense to me and that truly bothers me because again being a person who's been a law enforcement officer and a person who was shot at by police officers, it certainly has an impact upon me and other people who have gone through these kinds of things. >> chief, laura, thank you both

very much as always. and next elizabeth warren dodging the question of whether joe biden needs to choose a woman of color as his running mate. >> every woman being considered for vice president is extremely qualified and would be an asset for vice president biden. >> senator kamala harris is my guest. and why isn't anyone in this picture wearing a mask? the tempur-pedic breeze makes sleep... feel cool. because the tempur-breeze transfers heat...

away from your body. so you feel cool... night after night. during the tempur-pedic summer of sleep, experience the mattress ranked number one in customer satisfaction by jd power. and other money managers don't understand why. because our way works great for us! but not for your clients. that's why we're a fiduciary, obligated to put clients first. so, what do you provide? cookie cutter portfolios? nope. we tailor portfolios to our client's needs. but you do sell investments that earn you high commissions, right? we don't have those. so, what's in it for you? our fees are structured so we do better when you do better. at fisher investments we're clearly different.

our fees are structured so we do better when you do better. hey 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.

tonight, senator kamala harris tweeting that the president's executive order on police reform is, quote, meaningless. harris going on to say since day one he's used racially charged rhetoric all while abandoning police misconduct. i'm glad to talk to you again. obviously you're putting out your point of view here. why do you think this executive order is meaningless? >> well, erin, it's great to be with you. and you know, today actually just -- i just left our

judiciary committee hearing in the senate, and we had hours of testimony from people who have been working on this issue for years, if not decades. and there needs to be change. we need to fix the system. and to do that, it's not about commissions. it's not about conversations. it's literally about requiring accountability and consequence of the system and those is the system who break the rules and break the law. you know, the irony of it is that when in the criminal justice system someone is arrested we talk about accountability and consequence but rarely do we talk about accountability and consequence for the system itself. the package of bills that i have together with senator cory booker and all members of the congressional black caucus put together, the justice and policing act would require real accountability, things like independent investigations of police departments. it would require that would be practice investigations by the united states department of justice looking at patterns of

practice in discrimination in law enforcement agencies. it would require that we have a national standard for the use of excessive force by police officers. so, instead of asking when they use excessive force was it reasonable, we would ask was that a necessary use of force. these are things we need, not empty promises. >> so, republican senator tim scott obviously is expected to introduce police reform legislation this week. and the understanding we have from talking to him about it is it will not ban chokeholds, senator. is that a non-starter for you? >> we have to ban chokeholds. and many police departments have because many of the leaders in law enforcement in america know it is a bad practice and it has to end. we need to ban no-knock warrants and drug cases. that's part of what we are requiring so that in cases like breonna taylor, she would be alive and not dead.

these are the very specific things that we know and actually a lot of best police practices acknowledge that these reforms are needed. >> as you point out, there have been police departments across the country moved to do that ban. but the majority whip jim clyburn the day was open to not having an outright ban and here's how he put it, senator harris. >> i hate to ever call anything a non-starter because if you get 90% of what you want and that's one little thing is just 10%, you might go ahead and fight another day. i'm a great believer in lyndon johnson's old adage a half loaf is better than no loaf at all. >> he was specifically refers there to chokeholds. what do you say to his feeling there, that a half loaf is better than no loaf at all. >> i think what the great congressman clyburn was speaking to was that there should not be

bright lines, that we should be willing, especially at this stage of any subject and issue, we should be willing to have a discussion. and that's part of what we were doing today in the senate judiciary committee, is having a discussion about the need, the necessity, and the imperative of significant and substantial change in the way we're requiring accountability and consequence, again, for people who break the rules and break the law so we can avoid these senseless, these painful, these tragic deaths. and you can see a clear connection between a lack of account skpb accountability and the fact there is no incentive and there's been no incentive in the law or disincentive to stop these killings. >> you are seeing senator harris is the leading contender to be the vice president nominee for joe biden. there's been a lot of discussion about whether biden will or should choose a black woman. clyburn told me it would be a plus but it would not be a must.

do you think it's a must? >> well, i'm not going to tell joe biden what to do. i want him to pick the running mate that is best e kwupquipped help him win because more than anything, joe biden has got to win. we cannot suffer another four years of donald trump in the white house. we're in the midst of a pandemic where hundreds of thousands of people have died and a lot of the harm would have been avoided if we had a president who took seriously the issue and spoke truth about it from the very beginning. we have over 40 million people who have become unemployed in the last less than 100 days, small businesses that are going out of business, and we need real leadership in the white house who has the sense of empathy and sense of compassion and sense of responsibility to lift up the condition and spirits of the american people. and joe biden will do that. >> obviously your background in law enforcement, you know these

issues personally and professional. tai anderson is a leader. he was talking about you. he says nominating kamala harris is not the best solution. nominating someone who's put black people in jail doesn't make sense at this moment. what's your response? is he misreading your record? >> yeah, i mean, absolutely. listen, we need right now -- and this is why i am leading with senator booker and other members and all members of the congressional black caucus what we need to do to reform the system. i know the system from the inside out. i am a child of parent who is marched in the civil rights movement in the 1960s and i strongly believe if we are going to change these systems there has to be the kind of brilliant activism we've seen from the outside like black lives matter and the leadership there combined with what we need to do on the outside to upend these systems in a way to make change to get closer to the ideal we

have of equal justice under the law. and it takes everybody to be a part of that process and that movement. >> all right. senator harris, i appreciate your time. thank you again. >> thank you, erin. take care. >> senator kamala harris. next, dr. anthony fauci says he and the president have not spoken in two weeks as hospitalizations hit record levels in many states. and we will show you more. ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪

continue to protect. >> reporter: florida's governor defiant in the face of climbing case counts. the the nba and wnba hope to play all the season's games in the sunshine state. the republican national committee will hold its convention in jacksonville. zblts in the beginning of march, the median age of positive cases was 65.5. last week you had a lot of cases, the median age was 37. >> today texas reported its highest daily case count. its governor says some counties also seeing more younger people testing positive. >> it's hard to tell exactly where those people contracted covid. it could be memorial day celebrations. >> arkansas just upped the number of people allowed inside bars and restaurants even though the average daily case count has doubled in just two weeks. >> it's certainly states that did not strictly follow the guidelines that we put out.

>> reporter: meanwhile the cheap and plentiful steroid apparently reduced the risk of death by 1/3 of covid-19 patients on ventilators during a study in england. >> this is huge news. we need to validate these results. and people need to keep in mind this is for very ill patients. >> reporter: but masks are and will continue to be key. some airlines now say they'll ban passengers who won't wear one. nancy pelosi might make them mandatory at house committee meetings. masks apparently aren't mandatory for those close to the president or at saturday's maga rally in tulsa where they're looking to add an overflow venue. >> in the state of oklahoma we've really seen a tremendous amount of progress. >> reporter: case counts are climbing sharply in oklahoma. and despite a similar worrying trend in arkansas -- >> the response is not passing a

mandate. they need to wear a mask, but we're having very individual social responsibility and to do the right thing. that's what arkansas's about. >> reporter: so, across much of the south, cases are rising, but they're reopening anyway. the governor of kentucky just summed it it pretty well in a release announcing they're going to open pools. everybody needs to remember that covid-19 is still out there, it spreads aggressively, and it can be deadly. yes, it can. erin. >> yes, it can. thank you very much, nick. and next vice president mike pence declares coronavirus over as hospitalizations hit records. then why is the trump campaign asking people to sign coronavirus waivers at their rallies? if it's over, one should not have to sign a waiver to go to a rally. disturbing new details about the man in this video. we told you about him. we have the latest on his medical condition. and up to modo severe rheumatoid arthritis.

team. we heard ron desantis is using the vice president's narrative today saying his state, the uptick there is purely testing. obviously, in many places in this country thanks is not true. how dangerous is this narrative? >> it really very dangerous. i read the vice president's op ed and it begins with the usual accolade to the president and goes ton to spin the data. here is the truth. in some parts of the united states, places like new york, pennsylvania, illinois, massachusetts, cases are way down after a lot of hard work and after really some devastating illness early on in the pandemic. but in other parts of the country, cases are rising dramatically, places like florida, texas, arizona. if you look at texas, texas opened for their second wave -- their second phase of reopening on may 18th. and since that time, the number of daily cases has doubled, as

has the number of daily covid hospitalizations, cases and hospitalizations, also if you look at the positivity rate in that state, it's also more than doubled over the same period of time. more people are getting sick. and more people are getting sick because the states opened too early. >> so, you know, today the president, signed an executive order and there wasn't a single person wearing a mask habecausee greeted lawmakers. there is a 15-minute test incredibly high, 40% inacucurac rate. someone that received that test still got coronavirus in the white house. what do you make of the fact this is still happening? >> it's an effort on the part of the white house to have the country suspend this belief. like you're watching a movie. you have to suspend the disbelief. we have suspend our

understanding of the fact that almost 120,000 people have died, and we have to suspend our understanding of the fact that you can prevent transmission of this virus, very effectively by wearing a mask. they have to present a reality where everything is going back to normal, but that reality, that false reality is going to kill people. if their insistence that there's really nothing to see here, no one here on the stage is wearing a mask, resonates through the populace and people emulate it and when people don't wear a mask, they get infected and that's why large portions of the south are burning with this virus. >> in tulsa, they said they will handout masks to people who attend and they are not required to wear one and we know the president is not will going to one. they are exploring, the campaign says, a second overflow venue that could be outdoors and they say trump will likely go in

front of that group in person, as well. so look, what would you tell the president if you were advising him about what he's doing in tulsa? >> yeah, i would tell him what he's doing in tulsa is criminal endangerment. he's intentionally exposing people to the risk of acquiring deadly virus. just for a photo op. he's risking the health of people for a photo op. we've seen this before. we saw this last week in lafayette park in my hometown here in d.c. the president needs a lot of people. he wants the photo op and he doesn't really care what happens to the people who attend his rally. i'm begging the people in tulsa, don't go to this. watch on the television. you'll be safe at home. do not go. >> we should let them know if you go you have to sign a waiver providing immunity to the president should you get sick and god forbid, incredibly sick or worse. thank you dr. ryaner. >> my pleasure.
