10:00 am
coverage now. this is cnn breaking news. the american presidency is in crisis. in just two weeks president trump has suffered a series of losses and is struggling to handle two crises at once. he's inflamed raceial tensions s unrest grows with systemic problems with the criminal justice system. the last grows of his former top advisers saying that he's incompetent or unfit for office, and now his most recent former national security adviser is describing just how bad it was inside the room. the supreme court has stopped trump's original plan to end daca and guaranteed workplace
10:01 am
protections for lgbtq americans. we'll get to all of that in a moment. first i want to begin with his denial that is impacting the health and lives of americans. he's misleading the public on the severity of the coronavirus, directly putting american lives in danger. s -- his rally is tulsa is exactly what his health officials advise against. it's indoor, does not require masks, involves loud talking and screaming and no social distancing but the president says it's safe. >> if you look, the numbers are very minuscule to what it was. it's dying out. >> that is a lie. based on statistics, facts and reality, the opposite is true. cases are spiking in nearly two dozen states, in texas and north
10:02 am
carolina, record high hospitalizations. in arizona, a new single-day high a second time this week and in florida, new warnings it could become the new epicenter of coronavirus in the united states. in oklahoma, the site of the president's rally, a 110% spike in new cases over the last week. and of course tragically, the number of americans who have lost their lives keeps rising. it is now close to 118,000. so again, it's not dying out. this denial of science, this disregard of science is something the top infectious disease doctor is sounding the alarm over. >> unfortunately, there is a combination of an anti-science bias that people are, for reasons that sometimes are inconceivable or not understandable, they just don't blow science and they don't
10:03 am
believe authority. that's unfortunate because science is truth. >> so trump, dr. fauci is literally describing president trump there. i want to go to the ground where cases are rising. rosa flores is in miami. i want to begin with you. health experts are warning florida could be the next epicenter of this pandemic. tell us what's happening there. >> reporter: good afternoon. scientists from the university of pennsylvania saying that florida has all the ingredients for a covid-19 disaster and today florida recording a record day of daily cases, 3,207 on thursday alone. that is a record here in the state. very concerning of course. we've been following it. last week we were talking about 1,000 cases a day and there was alarm about that. over the weekend it turned into more than 2,000 cases and now a
10:04 am
record 3,207. now, florida governor ron desantis digging in his heels. he maintains that the increase is only due to aggressive testing in communities that have outbreaks, like prisons, long-term care facilities, agricultural communities, areas where there are a lot of farm workers. but we checked with an expert here at fiu that looks at the numbers all the time, every single day, dr. eileen marty. she said it is not just due to aggressive testing, that there is a rise in cases. now, the mayor of miami dade is saying there is an increase in cases and an increase in hospitalizations as well. he is taking it so seriously that he's sending police officers to stores, beaches, to parks to make sure people are social distancing and wearing
10:05 am
masks. this was mentioned by the governor that in march the median age of coronavirus cases was 65.1. last week it was 37. that is very concerning and we've talked to a mayor here in miami because the worry is that these individuals, even though they're younger, they're going to be going home and could spread it to their parents or to their grandparents. >> that's right. ed, take us to texas. what are you seeing there? >> reporter: more record setting days is what we're seeing here in texas, brianna, where record-setting hospitalizations. the governor here in texas has said the state for the most part has been in good shape for the previous few months because of the amount of hospital bed space, icu bed space, ventilators, but we are beginning to see the strain of all of that. we've had new highs in hospitalizations, starting to reach the,000 mack, and we've also seen about a 41% increase
10:06 am
in the total number of positive cases that are being reported. a lot of this is being passed off as increased it is testing compared to the amount of testing, the number of positive infections is outpacing the number of tests being done on a daily basis. and if we move west to the state of arizona, that's another state where you're seeing dramatic increases. more than 2,500 reported in arizona today, two record-setting days in a row. more importantly, if you look at the seven-day average of the number of new cases being reported, we're now seeing about a little over 1,500 cases per week being reported in arizona. that's 55% higher than it was a week ago. and in both of these states you really kind of see this battle again about the use of masks. city leaders mostly here in texas, for example, really got it going back and forth with the
10:07 am
governor here in terms of whether or not masks should be mandated. but many city leaders across texas battling the complacency and the fatigue among the population here. many people just simply tired of hearing about the coronavirus and there's that complacency making it very difficult for city leaders to get their point across to the population here. >> ed and rosa, thank you for those reports. we do have breaking news the president gave an interview to the wall street journal in which he said he made juneteenth famous, nobody heard of it before. he rescheduled his tulsa rally because of backlash of holding it on that date amid racial tei tensions, especially where a once prosperous black district burned to the ground. more than 10,000 of the black
10:08 am
residents there homeless and an estimated 300 dead. michael, tell us about this interview, especially his comments about juneteenth. it seems like an admission that he didn't know what juneteenth was. >> that's correct. we talked about him having to chang the date of his rally. he told me he started polling people around him, as he usually does on any range of subjects about what juneteenth was and who knew what about it. he couldn't find anyone, he told me, who knew what juneteenth was until he asked a black secret service agent who informed him that it's a commemoration of freeing the slaves. >> i mean, that's stunning. so he also talked to you about the presence of systemic racism in america. this is a quote from him in your interview.
10:09 am
he said "i'd like to think there is not, but unfortunately there probably is some. i would also say it's very substantially less than it used to be." this has been a problem for him, right? he's had many of his aides who are saying it doesn't exist and he's downplaying the impact of systemic race i. what did you make of this comment? >> well, i think what the president was basically telling us is that he doesn't have a lot of black voices around him. there's the anecdote he told about juneteenth. i asked him a little bit about his walk over to st. john's church and some criticism that why didn't he bring someone of his -- a black supporter with him to speak with the crowds or to address some of the protesters or to help him relate to some of the protesters and his answer was there were none
10:10 am
around in the white house. and when it comes to systemic racism and the question of systemic racism, it's not something that he -- my sense is that it wasn't something that he's thought a lot about on the front end. the day-to-day experiences of black americans. we talked a little bit about his meeting with some of the families, victims of police violence, and he did talk about how impactful that was and how it did resonate with him about the stories he heard and the passion which which some of these parent and siblings spoke. but, you know, he struggled to sort of talk about specifics of any of those cases and, you know, didn't have any plans for events with black leaders or some of these families.
10:11 am
we saw him do an event with police. his answer here is the economy. i asked him what his plan was to heal the country, to bring white and black community together with the policing community and his answer is the economy, that when jobs come back, people will have better lives and some of these issues will fade away. >> and so obviously that's going to be a big topic for him when he hosts his campaign rally in tulsa this weekend. this is happening despite warnings from local leaders who are worried about the dangers of spreading the coronavirus as we're seeing spikes there. he's now suggesting that people are wearing masks because they don't like him? is that what he told you? >> well, we talked a little bit about tests, about covid testing, which he called
10:12 am
overrated and, you know, we can talk about that. but i had asked him, mentioned to him that he also doesn't seem to like masks very much. and he's gone after joe biden quite a few times, mocking biden for wearing masks, he's gone after some reporters, questioning why they were wearing masks. so i asked him if he thought that was personal, that was a show of disapproval about the president and he acknowledged that it was, or that it was at least possible that that was why some people wore masks. his broader concern, which was also interesting, was that people aren't wearing masks properly, that they tough them, they don't wash their hands and then the very reason these masks exist are being, you know, are being lost when people don't wear them the right way. >> the president as he was defending his rally in tulsa acknowledged that some attendees
10:13 am
may catch the virus. >> that's right. i asked him what happens when supporters of your get sick at some of these rallies? his answer was in effect it probably would happen. he said it would be a very tiny percentage but the implication here is that, you know, is that people know what the risks are. we didn't talk about the -- the president and i didn't talk about the liability waiver he's having supporters seen coming into the rally but that's a well-known fact. to me, he seemed to be trying to balance letting people tack their own risks while also trying to reopen the economy. and, you know, as we've heard him before, he's concerned about the long-term effect on the economy it people stay shuttered
10:14 am
too much longer. >> what did he say about china and the virus? >> i asked him if he thought that china intentionally let the virus escape from its borders and didn't lock down fast enough in order to spread damage to other economies? he's kind of insinuated this before. he said he thought it was a possibility. he said there was a better chance that it was either a mistake or incompetence on beijing's part, but he thinks there's a real chance based on his own sense -- i asked if he had any intelligence on this, he said no, that china let this escape intentionally, which is a pretty shocking revelation. we also talked about china as far as testing and the second wave. wuhan, there was a second spike in wuhan, a city of roughly 10 million people. they tested almost everybody
10:15 am
there in about a week and a half. i said if something similar happens in new york, in michigan, would he support testing everybody to isolate the virus? he said absolutely not. testing is overrated, all it does is lead to additional reports of cases and was concerned about how that makes the country look. >> michael bender, thank you so much. i dare say i think your baby girl just made her national television debut. thank you so much for joining us from home. appreciate it. >> thanks for having me. >> and one of the officers charged in rayshard brooks's killing is killing himself in as some officer in atlanta call out or walk off their shifts. plus another major loss for the president at the supreme court. and another of the president's former top officials saying he's incompetent and infit funfit fo

mornings were made for better things than rheumatoid arthritis. when considering another treatment, ask about xeljanz a pill for adults with moderate to severe rheumatoid arthritis when methotrexate has not helped enough. xeljanz can reduce pain, swelling, and further joint damage, even without methotrexate. xeljanz can lower your ability to fight infections. before and during treatment, your doctor should check for infections like tb
10:18 am
and do blood tests. tell your doctor if you've had hepatitis b or c, have flu-like symptoms, or are prone to infections. serious, sometimes fatal infections, cancers including lymphoma, and blood clots have happened. taking a higher than recommended dose of xeljanz for ra may increase risk of death. tears in the stomach or intestines and serious allergic reactions have happened. don't let another morning go by without asking your doctor about the pill first prescribed for ra more than seven years ago. xeljanz. i'm an associate here at amazon. step onto the blue line, sir. this device is giving us an accurate temperature check. you're good to go. i have to take care of my coworkers. that's how i am. i have a son, and he said, "one day i'm gonna be like you, i'm gonna help people." you're good to go, ma'am. i hope so. this is my passion. if i can take of everyone who is sick out there, i would do it in a heartbeat.

10:20 am
find your nunormal with nucala. a book that you're ready to share with the world? get published now, call for your free publisher kit today! the supreme court, which includes two of president trump's own picks, has delivered him to major losses in just four days now. first justices ruling that employers cannot fire their workers for being gay or transgender. and today with a 5-4 ruling the court rejected the president's efforts to end the obama administration's dreamer program. that protects 700,000 immigrants brought to the u.s. as children from being deported. i'm going to speak to historian
10:21 am
douglas brinkley. first i want to bring in a daca recipient and a member of united redrea we dream. thank you for being with us. so you have been here as a child. you had protections and then you did not have protections. what's your reaction been since you heard the decision? >> it's been a few hours since i've been able to process. the first thing i did was take a deep breath. my life has been in limbo for a few years. ever since the election, trump has attacked the daca program. so today is a moment of celebration. i took a sigh of relief and i was able to call my parents and loved oned and sha-- loved onesd hair with them the news. >> tell us a little bit about you, having been here since you were a child. tell us your story.
10:22 am
>> i'm originally from brazil. i moved to the u.s. with my family at the age of 9 in 2000. so i've been here for 20 years. now i live in a mixed status family where i'm the only undocumented person who has daca in my family. there are citizens and permanent green card holders as well. >> what is this going to mean for you and for your future, lucas? are you concerned that the trump administration could try to change this again? they could have another shot at rescinding this. >> correct. i am today, for the next 24 hours, i'm in celebration. but the work doesn't stop here. the undocumented youth movement pushed the obama administration to put this program in place. now we have once again fought to defend it. but the work doesn't stop here. we still need legal protections for the undocumented community.
10:23 am
daca left a lot of people out of the program. and so we always knew and understood that daca was a temporary fix to a much larger program. for us now it's a moment of celebration, but we're cautiously celebrating because the trump administration can try to end the program at any minute. so we're going to continue fighting to defend the program and we are going to continue fighting for a permanent solution to our broken immigration system. >> lucas codognolla, we really appreciate your voice. >> thank you for having me. >> i want to bring in douglas brinkley to talk about this. this is the second supreme court here in a week that the president has lost on. he tweeted, quote, do you get the impression that the supreme court doesn't like me, he asked.
10:24 am
i wonder what you think about that tweet. and also the expectation he had. i don't know. maybe you think rightfully so that things would maybe go his way more with two picks on the supreme court. >> well, i'm not sure the supreme court dislikes donald trump, but they don't like presidents that misuse the law. and the fact of the matter is i think justice roberts is correct that donald trump tried to overturn barack obama's executive order on daca and didn't do the paperwork, didn't dot the is, didn't cross the ts, sloppy white house work and the supreme court said you can come back to us a the a later date but this is deeply insufficient. donald trump has been opposed to civil rights laws in their most fundamental ways so the victory for the lgbtq community gives donald trump two black eyes in the middle of june in an election cycle and it's just been compounded by john bolton
10:25 am
revelations in himself book, which there are many and that are devastating and the fact that he's been tone deaf to the street protests america and the two lost in the fickled messaging leading on into his speech in tulsa this weekend. it's been a really bad couple of weeks for donald trump and just got made a lot worse with this daca ruling. >> so he's lying about coronavirus right now. he's saying it's dying out. it's not. just to be clear, it's not. he's got a rally indoors, thousands of people this weekend. has there been a time when a president in history hasl, you woodrow wilson did in the sense of what we had the span, flew epidemic of 1918 and 1920 but during world war i he didn't want to get the american people
10:26 am
worried about the flu so he sent soldiers who died from influenza because they were so packed on to boats and there wasn't a sense of mandatory did in hospitals of that era. so it usually comes at a need for great expediencyin wilson's case was winning of world war i and not panicking the american people from that cause. donald trump's case is all about politics for himself in 2020, how do i get re-elected. it shameful that with so much medical evidence and the science community telling us that covid is alive and thriving all across america that the president's decided to go on with the campaign stunt in tulsa, put people's lives at risks. it's unseemly. but trump feels he need, for a personality like his is to get
10:27 am
on the. he's starving without a crowd. his presidency shrinking and, hence, tulsa is on the books. >>. and breaking now, one of the officers charged in rayshard brooks's killing is turning himself in, as some officers in atlanta call out or walk off their shifts. >> plus, john bolton making one damning claim after another, including how he says the president wanted to lock up muslims in concentration camps. ) - [female vo] restaurants are our family. the cornerstone of our communities. and our family needs help. right now they're facing a crisis.

10:32 am
to start watching today. arrest warrants have been issued for the two atlanta police officers involved in the death of rayshard brooks. officer devin brosnan, who is now on desk duty, turned himself in just a short time ago and then garrett rolfe has until 6 p.m. to turn himself in. he could face the death penalty if he's convicted of felony murder. he's facing ten other counts as well. this is the top prosecutor in the case, is revealing disturbing details about what the two officers did after
10:33 am
brooks was shot. the d.a. revealed a photo he says shows rolfe kicking brooks after he'd been shot. rolfe's lawyer told fox news that is not what is happening in this photo. >> my client never kicked mr. brooks. if there was a video of my client kicking mr. brooks, you would have seen it. he shows a still and that one leg is planted and the other one's bent. he could be leaning down to try to give him first aid, it could have been when he was trying to evaluate whether he needed handcuffs, this officer gave him cpr, monitored his pulse, and coordinated other efforts on the scene. >> he faces aggravated assault for allegedly standing on brooks' shoulder while he laid on the control. his lawyer said brosnan was just
10:34 am
trying to keep the situation under control. ryan, you just speak to officer brosnan's attorney. tell us what you learned. >> absolutely. we were standing here getting ready to get a live shot when he walked by. there has been a larger conversation just about these charg charges. the law enforcement community is very swrupset with the charges m the d.a. here. they think this was too early, especially since the gbi hasn't finished their investigation. they were also surprised when they heard brosnan was going to be a state's witness and that's something his attorney said he's not exactly going to do. >> the only allegation in these charges 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's arms, which he did for a matter of seconds to stabilize.
10:35 am
that was not an assault, not an aggravated assault. he didn't hurt him. he was just trying to make sure there was no weapon within reach. >> we're waiting for the other officer to arrive here. there's two entrances to this jail so it easily could go around the back. of course officer rolfe is facing much more serious charges. once he arrives here, he won't be able to leave like the other officer did. one thing we have to bring up right now is the manpower in the city of atlanta. that's something being challenged all across the city right now. we've learned through sources that last night they were so worried about one precinct that they only had a few officers there that they cleared all the critical equipment out of that building and took it to another zone within the city to make sure if protesters showed up, they wouldn't be able to take that critical equipment. we've been told there have been more officers calling out sick throughout the morning. there are staff members like lieutenants and detectives now
10:36 am
answering calls. at one point more than 50 calls were not being answered throughout the city. this is something we'll have to watch throughout the next few days. these officers have been working three weeks nonstop. this is the critical point right now because obviously they were going to get a raise. the morale of the police department was pretty high until all these events have started happening back to back to back. had you the six officers fired for arresting the two college students and then this incident there's a lot of stress here. when officers call the stress lien for mental health help, that line is not being answered and officers are having a hard time getting through. it's something we have to monitor. thank you. breaking news, facebook has just taken down some trump campaign ads for, quote, violating our policy against organized hate.
10:37 am
tell us what was in the ads that were taken down here. >> this is a major development. we know there's some tensions between the trump campaign and silicon valley. the trump campaign started running ads targeting the left-wing group antifa, calling them dangerous mobs running riot and the streets of america and calling on supporters to sign a petition to make in president trump's call a terrorist organization. the ad contained a triangle is identical to that used by the nazi regime to identify prisoners in nazi prison camps. facebook put out a statement saying they have removed the ad
10:38 am
for violating their policies against organized hate. they prohibit using a banned hate group symbol used to identify political prisoners. that hate group, brianna, that facebook is talking about in the context of the trump campaign is the nazi party. >> the nazi party. has the campaign responded, donie? >> we have not got a response from the campaign since facebook took down the images, but earlier this morning on twitter, the trump campaign pushed back on some critics to say antifa were using this upside down red triangle symbol and the trump cam pan seempaign seemed to hav the symbol somewhere deep on the internet. a lot of people are saying this is not a symbol often associated with this group. it's a developing story and we're trying to learn more about where they got this image from. but obviously in facebook's view
10:39 am
here, this is a hate symbol. >> all right, donie, thank you for that report. next we're going to go through all of the damning allegations from former national security adviser john bolton, including revelations that he says show the president's incompetence and ignorance. plus he said president trump agreed with china to lock up mus li muslimmus lims in concentration camps. investing today wherever you are - mus lims in concentration camps. lims in concentration camps. robinhood. ♪

it's really one damning allegation after another against president trump spilled out in detail in a new book by his former national security adviser john bolton. the book is titled "the room where it happened." i want to tick through some allegations here. bolton says president trump asked chinese president xi to help him get re-elected by buying u.s. agricultural products in key states, politically key states, that trump told xi to keep building concentration camps for husbamu in his country. bolton saying he couldn't identify one decision that wasn't motivated by his
10:45 am
reelection concerns and that he was willing to halt investigations as personal favors to dictators he liked and that trump argued that venezuela is part of the u.s. even some of trump's own senior officials mock him behind his ba ba back. he says that trump was obsessed with getting an elton john "rocket man" cd from kim jong un and that he wanted to resume u.n. shangss on russia. he said russian president vladimir putin thinks he can play trump like a fiddle. bolton said trump asked if finland was part of russia. it is not. that he didn't know that the u.k. was a nuclear power, that benjamin netanyahu asked why he
10:46 am
was tasked with developing a middle east plan and that journalists should be executed for not revealing sources. bolton said unequivocally that president trump is not fit for office. >> i don't think he's fit for office. i don't think he has the competence to carry out the job. there really isn't any guiding principle that i was able to discern other than what's good for donald trump's reelection. >> joining me now is max boot, cnn global affairs analyst and senior fellow at the council on foreign relations. i just went through a long line of some of the revolutions here. i wonder what you think broadly about what you've learned. >> i have to pick my jaw up off the floor before i can comment, brianna. you have to understand how unprecedented this is. we've certainly had tell-all memoirs in the past. former aides like george stephanopoulos have written books, but we've never seen such a senior formal official that
10:47 am
the president they've seen was fundamentally unfit and unethical and ignorant and therefore incapable of doing the job. of course what bolton is saying here does not come out of the blue. this really just confirms what we have heard from other officials including john kelly, jim mattis, anthony scaramucci and others who have left the white house and been completely appalled with what they have seen. here bolton has provided a fuller report of what he saw because he was a copious note taker. this is a very damning indictment that trump and his defenders will have trouble running away from because bolton was one of them. you can't accuse him of being a part of the deep state. >> there's many themes but one sort of through line is that the president doesn't value human life, okaying or supporting chinese concentration camps for
10:48 am
musli muslims, saying journalists should be executed. we've seen similar sentiments and his famous line about being able to kill someone on fifth avenue and get away with it. what do you have say when you have a president who is not valuing life like we have traditionally seen, i mean, most leaders do, presidents, most of all of the presidents, right? what does that do to america ears standing in the world? >> i think this is just leading to a collapse of america's moral standing. i thisnk you're seeing a whole bunch of events, including our mismanagement of the coronavirus and the police brutality. this leds to a dysfunctional country led to an incompetent leader. you point out trump's disregard for human life. bolton talks about his disregard
10:49 am
for our constitution and the basic norms of governance. the fact that he is asking a hostile foreign leader like xi jinping to help him out in his reelection campaign, which echos the charges that he was impeached for of trying to coerce ukraine to helping him in his reelection campaign, what that fundamentally shows to me is that he is not about america first. he is about trump first. he puts his own personal interests ahead of the country. that's fundamentally, i think, the core of the picture that is a very deeply troubling picture painted by john bolton where he says i think one of the most damning thing that bolton says in his book that he is hard put to name a single trump decision that was not taken in order to enhance his reelection campaign. so it's all about trump, human life doesn't matter, democracy doesn't matter, human rights doesn't matter. the only thing that matters is donald trump to donald trump. >> max boot, thank you so much for joining us. >> thanks.
