is trump first, not america first. bolton said the president asked the chinese for reelection help and told the chinese government go ahead, i'm fine with building concentration camps for muslims. the president said the coronavirus is fading, dying out. the numbers tell us something different. 23 more states are reporting more cases this week than last week. >> 5-4 siding on the core of the case to preserve a big obama era legacy and calling it a victory right now. and for president trump the loss at the high court means he will not be able to keep his 2016
9:02 am
promise to deport daca recipients before voters decide come november whether he deserves a second term. with me now to share their insights, dana bash and steve vladic. we talked earlier in week, steve, about a landmark discrimination case that will have roots, the high court sayering you csaye saying you cannot fire somebody because they're gays or transgender. the court did not say baul obam right, the dreamers can stay is right. they're saying the trump administration did not follow the rules. we did not decide whether daca rescission or sound policies. the wisdom is none of our concern. we address only whether the agency complied with the procedure requirements. they're saying the administration went about it in a lousy way, broke the rules,
9:03 am
broke the regulations so you can't do it. right? >> exactly right. it harkens back to last year's decision in the census case where the same majority held that the president couldn't put citizenship question on the census, the way he had tried to do it, even though the court said it was generally okay to have a citizenship question. so they're saying they can address daca b. in the next four months i'm not sure if the president would rather force the issue or campaign around it. >> and that's what we will wait for. dana, we read the president's tweets on this issue to try to figure out what he will do next. he says these horrible and politically charged decisions coming out of the supreme court are shot gun blasts into the
9:04 am
face of the people proud to call themselves republicans or conservatives. we need more justices or we will lose our amendments and everything else. you get the impression the supreme court doesn't like me. daca or immigration not included in either one of those states. the president making a play to judges and making a play to his base essentially saying the elite supreme court doesn't look little ol' me, your president. >> that's exactly right. it is just the latest example of him trying to use the smashing of institutions, the blowing up rhetorically of institutions in some ways. more than that, to his political advantage. it's what got him in the white house, that he was the disrupter and he's trying to remind people that even though he has the top job, there are still institutions around him that are trying to stop him from doing what he promised to do in his election campaign. and this was kind of a no-brainer politically, if you are the president of the united
9:05 am
states. the flip side, though, is what you show from joe biden, his democratic, presumptive democratic rival, which is an immediate promise to deal with this legislatively the way that it should be done but hasn't been because it's been so politically divisive, the broader issue of immigration. he promised to do it on day one of his administration, and that is him trying to keep his base voters as excited as the president is trying to do for the other side. >> and so, michael, that's the conundrum the president finds himself in, especially at this moment, a racial reckoning in the country. he could go big, even though most republicans support letting the daca recipients stay. but you wrote a book about how important immigration is to this president. you understand his thoughts very well. let's go back through his history, the president going all the way back to when he
9:06 am
announced for president said ba obama said they can stay, i will make them leave. >> when someone is terrific, we want them here. look, it sound cold, it sound hard, we have a country. our country is going to hell. we have to have a system where people are legally in our country. we're always talking about dreamers from other countries. i want the children growing up in the united states to be dreamers also. they're not dreaming right now. >> in this climate, michael, where he wants to run on promises made, promises kept, yes, he's building a wall, mexico is not paying for it. the economy, he'll be lucky if the economy drops into single digits before the election because of the pandemic. not his fault but he is the president of the united states. does he try to be big or go back to 2015-2016? >> i think he may try to have it both ways. as you say, especially when it comes to the dreamers, trump has
9:07 am
been conflicted a long time. we document in the book a lot of moments where he resisted the idea of actually deporting these young, sympathetic immigrants, people who have been part of the fabric of the community for years and decades. so the idea of actually deporting people may be somewhat problematic for him from a personal perspective and also from a political perspective. that probably wouldn't play very well months before an election. he may try to have it both ways by returning to the idea of ending daca. the court said go ahead and try again. i suspect that the administration could very well do that, make a big announcement that they're ending daca again, knowing full well that that will get tied up in the legal system for well beyond the election. so he gets to make the attempt, make the announcement, fire up his base, show his conservative
9:08 am
supporters that he's really trying to get rid of these illegal immigrants, while at the same time understanding that he's not really going to be put in the position of ordering his i.c.e. agents to remove these young people from the country. that could be a line he walks over the next several months. >> we'll watch that in a campaign year that already has several giant issues. up next for us, a return to atlanta where one of the two police officers charged in that shooting death now in police custody. look at that scuffed up wall. staring at you. embarrassing you in front of your in-laws. spreading rumors about you at work. that wall is your everest - but not any more. today let's paint.
9:11 am
i'm a talking dog. the other issue. oh... i'm scratching like crazy. you've got some allergic itch with skin inflammation. apoquel can work on that itch in as little as 4 hours, whether it's a new or chronic problem. and apoquel's treated over 7 million dogs. nice. and... the talking dog thing? is it bothering you? no... itching like a dog is bothering me. until dogs can speak for themselves, you have to. when allergic itch is a problem, ask for apoquel. apoquel is for the control of itch associated with allergic dermatitis and the control of atopic dermatitis in dogs. do not use apoquel in dogs less than 12 months old or those with serious infections. apoquel may increase the chance of developing serious infections
9:12 am
and may cause existing parasitic skin infestations or pre-existing cancers to worsen. do not use in breeding, pregnant, or lactating dogs. most common side effects are vomiting and diarrhea. feeling better? i'm speechless. thanks for the apoquel. awww. that's what friends are for. ask your veterinarian for apoquel. next to you, apoquel is a dog's best friend. one of the two atlanta police officers now charged in the shooting death of rayshard brooks has turned himself in and is in police custody. devin brosnan faced charges.
9:13 am
ryan young is live in atlanta with a very special guest for us. ryan? >> reporter: absolutely, john. we were standing here getting ready to do this live shot and i noticed the attorney for the officer who turned himself in, mr. bronson. you talked passionately. you think these charges are a little too far in how far they're reaching. can you explain it for us? >> i don't think it's a little too far, it's way too far. officer brosnan is not charged with the shooting, he's not at fault at all with the shooting. the charge is he violated his oath of office by not following proper protocol, the use of force policy. they say he never should have put his foot on mr. brooks' arm, which he did for literally a matter of seconds to stabilize, make sure there was no weapon nearby. he came upon a very chaotic scene. it was not an assault, not an
9:14 am
aggravated assault. he wasn't trying to hurt him. he was just trying to make sure there was no danger. we are literally talking about seconds while officer rolfe runs back and get his first aid kit, puts gloves on, there are other pl policemen standing there and they're charging my guy who is standing there with a concussion that he didn't give aid fast enough. >> and you said yesterday maybe your officer is going to be a witness for the state. >> officer brosnan agreed to give a full statement to the dncht anc danch d.a. and he did that. he's not a witness for the state, he's not a witness for the defense. he's a witness. he's simply going to tell the truth about what happened and he'll do it again. mean he'll even do it for the news one of these days, but for now he's just an honest witness
9:15 am
to what happened out there. >> my last question, i know you got to get back inside, you know the community here is obviously very angry. when you feel this anger in the community, what should they understand? >> officer brosnan didn't want mr. brooks to be shot. it's a tragic situation that happened. officer brosnan, you know, conducted himself in an exemplary manner. he really did. and i thisnk it's inappropriate to blame him for that. but he is as aggrieved as anybody about what has happened. i don't want there to be any mistake about that. >> thank you so much. appreciate it. that happened as he was walking in to talk to his client. he has a signature bond, he's probably going to get out in the next few hours or so. we should talk about this ia there are several calls throughout the city of atlanta not being answered. we're told there are officers calling out sick, but the city so far has been able it to resp with other officers throughout
9:16 am
the city. it will be interesting to watch this throughout the coming hours. >> and officer brosnan has been processed. his attorney is on the scene there professing his innocence and says he'll continue to cooperate. officer rolfe being told to turn himself in today. we're still waiting on that one. right? >> absolutely. so we are all out in front of the fulton county jail. there is a back entrance that he could utilize to get inside. again, he will probably have to stay. we did hear the more serious charges toward him. more than likely he will not be walking back out from these doors, spending quite some time in the jail. the jail has to set itself up for that. when you bring an officer into a jail facility, they have to be isolated. they can't be in gen pop. i'm sure his attorney wants to take as long to 6:00 as possible to bring him in. >> my dad was a corrections officer. gen pop i get. up next, john bolton's tell-all

the justice department is suing to stop the book from hitting the shelves but muff ch of it i already public. he's singularly focused on his reelection, often at the expense of principle and american foreign policy. you read these excerpts, you hear more and keep saying wow. >> reporter: yeah. you can see why the president is not a fan of this. it paints him as clueless on world issues, as making decisions only to boost his own political fortunes and is not caring at all about individual rights, even going so far as to endorse the chinese president's efforts to put mus lils in a concentration camp. former national security john bolton casting president trump as an uninformed, erratic liar. >> is the president lying? >> yes, he is.
9:23 am
and it's not the first time either. >> reporter: skying a commander in chief foreign adversaries saw as an easy mark. >> i think putin thinks he can play him like a fiddle. i think putin is smart, tough. i think he sees that he's not faced with a serious add vversa here. i don't think he's worried about donald trump. >> and trump was all too happy to take foreign help to boost his reelection bid. "i am hard pressed to identify any significant trump decision during my tenure that wasn't driven by reelection calculatio calculations. trump pressed xi jinping to help him out with farmers by buying more u.s. crops, pleading with xi to ensure he would win. i would print trump's words but the review process has decided otherwise." bolton also confirms the case
9:24 am
house impeachment managers laid out earlier this year, writing he would withhold aid to ukraine until all the russia materials lated related to clinton and biden had been turned over. he told the turkish president he would replace southern district of new york prosecutors to make an investigation go away. a long-time republican who served in the trump white house for 17 months, boat bolton said deliberations were like college food fights and calls trump stunningly uninformed, unaware finland of not part of russia. this comes as he locked in a bitter dispute with the u.s. justice department.
9:25 am
bolton's lawyer says the administration is trying to block the book for political reasonsbo reasons. bolton writes he's forcedo did not appear to be classified and could only be described as embarrassing to trump. you've got the chaos. it's no surprise that the administration did not want this book to get out. you have to wonder why john bolton sat on the sidelines for this long. this is the frustration among democrats right now why he would not take them up on their invitation to testify during the house impeachment proceedings. in the book he really slams the democratic efforts calling them partisan and saying they were too narrowly focused. >> sara murray, thank you. let's continue with vivian. you read this. you can understand any president
9:26 am
saying why don't you buy more american farm products. this president detectiveirectlys it to his reelection. that he would be sitting down with a communist dictator who has no political rights in his country and say, and this is from the book, xi had explained to trump why he was basically building concentration camps. he said xi should go ahead with building the camps. an american president thinking it's the right thing to do to build concentration camps for a muslim minority being persecuted? huh? >> a lot of the revelations were stunning but that was one that stood out. president trump repeatedly said he doesn't feel it's his place to tell other world leaders how to conduct their own domestic business but this is a shocking agreement basically to say that he endorses an abuse of human
9:27 am
rights in china, something that most presidents would actually put staunch comments against and really criticize. the trump administration did criticize it yesterday. the president did sign a bill condemning any kind of action against the uighurs but it's too little too late. and someone like john bolton, who has always been very skeptical of the role of the chinese and their authenticity in terps of wams of wanting to normal world order, he finds that troubling. john bolton goes on to describe events that house democrats would have loved to hear about, where he said he felt that obstruction of justice was a way of life. that was really something that stood out as quite shocking. if went beyond ukraine, went beyond china, just in terps of the conduct on a day-to-day basis. >> he just paints a portrait of a president who is all about himself, who does not care about
9:28 am
principles, laws, reforms, systems in place, obstruction of justice. the president says he's a liar and john bolton has to make his case now, assuming he gets the book published. so the president says john bolton's a liar. does he said scaramucci is a liar, omarosa is a liar? those are the faces of those who have left the white house who say pretty much the same thing, pretty consistent across the board. you see these books here. john bolton on the left, james comey and the president have bigger differences, cliff sills painted a very dangerous portrait omarosa said the president is a liar as well. it's not just john bolton. the cumulative stories of people who worked in trusted positions
9:29 am
around this president are mind blowingly damning. >> it's definitely unprecedented to see this many senior administration officials come out while a president is still in office especially and condemn him in the way we've seen. and it's gone in waves. we've seen a number of books come out, some of these officials have released comments or done panels here and there but in the last couple of weeks we've seen it amplified because of the response to the death of george floyd and they've come out and said they're in opposition to how he has handed himself in general. >> coming up for us, scary new numbers out of florida on new coronavirus cases. the mayor of st. petersburg joins us next. now is the time for a new bath from bath fitter.

concerning new coronavirus numbers out of florida today, as some scientists worry that state could become the next large coronavirus epicenter. the risk, though, scientists says as florida emerging as an epicenter state is the worst it's ever been. the latest numbers more than 3,000 new cases. florida, you see the numbers there consistently setting new daily records over the past week. the mayor of st. petersburg hoping to be among the leaders to mitigate the spread. they require all workers who come face to face with customers to wear masks.
9:35 am
i want to get the big picture in the state. when you see those numbers day after day after day in recent days of a daily record, is that manageable, just the inevitable, we're reopening, the cases are going to go back to work or is that an alarm to you that people are not being safe enough and this is happening too fast? >> yeah. certainly as we reopen, we did expect to see an increase, but not like this so, yeah, there's always kinds of alarm bells going of a for me. i'm not comfortable with what i see going on in my community and that's the reason i took the ambassador i took. i think you're going to see mayors across the state of florida that are going to take actions in response to these numbers because we're just not seeing it from our leadership in tall h tallahassee. >> one of the issues we've seen is a lot of mayors in florida have a different of opinion, difference in tone from the governor of florida.
9:36 am
the governor says, yeah, the case numbers are going up but it's okay. listen. >> you know have widespread testing of asymptomatic people. you have businesses saying go get tested. it's not just the state sites. we expanded the drive through and walk-up sites and now we have pop-up sites a the retail l -- at retail locations and that's thousands and thousands of tests a day. >> he's saying it's because we're testing more, it's manageable. you disagree? >> i totally disagree. yeah, when you do more tests, you're doing to see larger numbers but it's really the percentage that's important. we've had days here where my city is located where we've had fewer tests but a larger percentage of those tests were positive. so what we're paying attention to and what he should be paying attention to isn't the number of tests, it's what percentage of those tests are positive. if you're seeing that percentage
9:37 am
go up, you got a problem and that's what we're seeing right now. >> so one of the issues in any state but particularly florida, big diverse state, a lot of older residents, a lot of retirement communities there. listen to this disease expert we talked to. she says every state should try to manage it but especially a place like florida. listen. >> florida has always made the stuff of nightmares, i think for me and for many infectious disease people when it comes to covid-19. they have a lot of nursing homes, geriatric communities and care centers. the potential for the virus to take off there could have catastrophic consequences. >> there are those, at times your governor and the president of the united states who say these public health experts are being too alarmist. is that too alarmist or smart
9:38 am
advice? >> i think it's very smart advice. it's quite frankly frightening that there doesn't seem to be any empathy coming from the governor's mansion right now. these are our most vulnerable. we ought to be taking it real seriously. if you look at the statistics and those that are being hospitalized the most and that are unfortunately dying from this, it is our older population. interestingly our fastest growing positive test category is age 25 to 44. i worry about having that age explode and going home to mom and dad or grandma and grandpa and infecting them and watching them go to the hospital and unfortunately a lot of times passing away. >> thank for your tiur time. best of luck in the days ahead. >> thank you so much. >> germany maintains a ban on large gatherings through the end
9:39 am
of october. now we have more of the big global developments. >> here in china the rnnt's chi skr -- epidemiologist has said experts have found a clear transition route in this outbreak. all of the 158 recent cases in the city have been traced back to that now closed huge wholesale food market. that's why the authorities have tracked down some 350,000 people who have been there since may 30th and now have all been tested for the virus. still, local officials are taking no chances. they're continuing their soft lockdown over the entire city, testing more residents and tightening travel restrictions in and out of the city. hundreds of flights again being cancelled on thursday and more bus services being suspended and city schools and entertainment

9:48 am
me here in the pfizer forum where the milwaukee bucks play. that was going to be the site of the democratic national convention scheduled in july and moved back to august because of the pandemic. we're told this is going to be lash largely a digital convention. so this is something we're told will be finalized in the next coming days or weeks as democrats plan their convention. an entirely different setup than republicans are doing in jacksonville. president trump has demanded a full arena. that is not the case here. joe biden will be on hand here in this battleground of wisconsin but likely a lot of delegates will not be. we've been talking to so many democrats here this week about just the difference a scaled back convention will mean. we talked to a state rep here in milwaukee yesterday about what he thinks a scaled back convention will look like. >> it won't be the same
9:49 am
convention that was at the scale that it was hoped to be. >> you can get through to folks but, you know, going back to the basics means going to those door steps, engaging them where they are. we still have to do that in a safe way during a pandemic, which is tough. >> so beyond the pomp and vicious of this made for television convention, that is the point. wisconsin was picked because it was a key battleground. are democratic organizers going to be able to go door to door, registering voters and other things? that is the worry on the minds of democratic leaders here, not how big of a show the convention isjoe bid is. joe biden will be here to accept that nomination at that time. >> appreciate the reporting very much. the last surviving sibling of
